			salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:20
			smilla rahmanir rahim al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen wa salatu salam ala COVID mursaleen Nabina
Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa sahbihi momento via whom be sunny la Medina nueva.
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:41
			We commence by praising Allah subhanho wa Taala. We send blessings and salutations upon Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, his entire household all his companions, we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala
to bless them all. And to grant every single one of them forgiveness and goodness. And we ask Allah
Subhana Allah to Allah to bless every single one of us to
		
00:00:42 --> 00:01:25
			my brothers and sisters. If we take a look at the gifts of Allah subhanho wa Taala upon us, there
are so many we actually take them for granted. The fact that you are looking at me right now and I
am seeing you. That is a great gift of Allah subhanho wa Taala the vision I have is a great gift of
Allah, the voice I have everything you have the fact that we are breathing air, the fact that we are
in this Masjid in the house of Allah subhanho wa Taala with so much of peace, the fact that we have
enjoyed a meal in the evening, the fact that we have food, the fact that we have so much in terms of
wealth, in terms of clothing, in terms of so many of the gifts of Allah subhanho wa Taala we take
		
00:01:25 --> 00:02:04
			this for granted, it's important for us to sit and ponder over the gifts of Allah subhanho wa Taala
we ponder and we think and we should never deny the gifts of Allah, what is meant by denial of the
gift of Allah, you know, that Allah has given you, you know that you have family, you have children,
perhaps you have so much of goodness, but you do not fulfill the basic rights that you owe Allah
subhanho wa Taala you do not fulfill your Salah, you cannot give your zecca correctly. You dilly
dally when it comes to Hajj when it comes for example, to obeying the instruction of Allah subhanho
wa Taala regarding the fasting Ramadan, we dilly dally when it comes to the dress code. And yet we
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:43
			know Allah has given us the good looks. Allah has given us the organs and the limbs that we have. We
know that others are suffering and struggling across the globe. We know that there are people whose
peace has been snatched away in such a way they never imagined that it would go away in that
particular way. Yet we are sitting here we think twice when it comes to dressing properly. When it
comes to cutting out sin for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala we sometimes don't even consider
that. May Allah subhanahu wa taala let us make full use of this beautiful eve of the month of
Ramadan to cut our bad ways and to promise Allah subhanho wa Taala that we will in fact not be from
		
00:02:43 --> 00:03:07
			among those who take his gifts for granted. So according to the Tafseer of hypnic Kafeel narrated by
ignore behind him from Mujahid Rahim Allah, He says there was a Bedouin man who came to the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wasallam and he asked the Prophet sallallahu Sallam several questions and he
wanted to know more. So the Prophet salatu salam began to read verses that made mention of the gifts
of Allah subhanho wa Taala.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:11
			The verses of surah Allah, Allahu Allah, Allah Allah,
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:54
			booty come second. Indeed Allah has created for you from your homes, some form of comfort, you know
home is home, as they say, you can be anywhere you are on the globe as comfortably as it as it may
be. When you get back to your own abode where your family is, the feeling is absolutely different.
Even if you are staying at a five star hotel elsewhere, when you come back to your one star abode,
that comfort that is given to you by Allah subhanho wa Taala there are people in our midst myself
included, I would prefer traveling through the night to arrive home and to sleep elsewhere. May
Allah subhanho wa Taala help us Have you ever thought of it? It's a gift of Allah. It's something
		
00:03:54 --> 00:04:12
			amazing, something unique, you go away when you come back. It's Allah who's created for you
something you can call home Subhan Allah, amazing What gift of Allah subhana wa Tada. So the Bedouin
man says, Yes, yes, meaning I acknowledge it's a gift of Allah subhanho wa Taala and he continues
the verse sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Allah,
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:54
			Jo dill unami boo. Steffi funa mentioning the gift of the leather, the gift of the skins of animals,
how we use them to make tents. When we want to go camping or when we are traveling, we have
something light and then that Bedouin man says, Yes, that's also a gift of Allah and the verses
continue where the prophets Allah wa sallam read the verse immediately after that which makes
mention of how Allah has created different types of material that which you will wear in winter, it
will keep you warm. That which you will wear in summer it will keep you cool. So Pamela, have you
thought of it? The cotton and the polyester and the wool and all of this part of the clothing Allah
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:59
			says we've created it diverse for you. Oh, man. So the Bedouin man says yes, and
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:04
			The Prophet sallallahu Sallam got to a verse. The next verse gallica
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:09
			Mata who Allah, Allah come to sneak.
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:51
			In this way Allah has completed his favor upon you. Why? In order that you may surrender to the
command of Allah, Allah gave you everything he made life easy for you so that you can surrender so
that you fulfill your Salah. So that you stop lying you stop using abusive language so that you
cleanse your tongue so that you praise Allah so that you can dress appropriately so that you can cut
out the gambling and the the drugging or should I say the intoxicants and various other bad habits
you may have. So Allah has facilitated everything for you. So this better one man acknowledges it.
He gets up and walks away. So the next verse being reviewed, yeah re Fulani Mata LA.
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:57
			que una ha, so hormonal coffee.
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:07
			They know the gifts of Allah upon them. And after having known the gifts of Allah, they are denying
them because most of them have absolutely ungrateful.
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:49
			So the question I have, it may have been a Bedouin man, it may have been someone else but will law
he, I will only benefit if I put myself in the shoes of that man. And if I say for a moment, have I
reacted in a similar way in my own life. When Allah has given me he's made me a millionaire, for
example, in Zimbabwe dollar terms and at the same time he's given me so much. He's given me a lot by
the will of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And what do I do? I find myself still hooked on to that which
displeases Allah subhanho wa Taala May Allah subhanahu wa taala forgive us and May Allah subhanho wa
Taala grant us a lesson. Brothers and sisters, remember one thing when Allah gives you he keeps on
		
00:06:49 --> 00:07:28
			giving you when you don't turn back to him, guess what? He snatches it away in the most disastrous
way. And that too is a gift of Allah if it's going to make us turn to him. Why do I need to wait for
a law to punish me before I turn to Allah? Why don't I turn to Allah during days of ease and
goodness while I'm okay and enjoying. I still fulfill my Salah I still get up Mashallah to please
Allah subhanho wa Taala I will still cry the warm tears to say Oh Allah, I have sinned human nature
I have committed wrong but these are the warm tears for your sake before anything bad happens to me
Allah, I've turned to you, I repent and I cry. I thank you for absolutely everything you've given me
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:35
			What a beautiful lesson we learn from this amazing reason of revelation of this beautiful verse,
verse number 83 of zero to none.
		
00:07:37 --> 00:08:23
			Then we have a man from among the Sahaba of the Allahu anhu narration of nabasa the Allahu alayhi wa
T. He says, a man named masan. There was a time in Mecca. When he seen the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam, he saw the prophets of Allah Salaam, seated and he asked to sit in the company of
Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, and at that time, he was not yet a believer, meaning his belief was not
solid. And he says, I set an OB salatu salam set, and I noticed him looking up. A little while later
I saw Mohammed Salah Salam take his site in a strange way. He followed it right up to the heavens.
And it came slowly down and I was wondering what's going on here. And he says it happened again.
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:25
			twice in the same city.
		
00:08:27 --> 00:09:00
			His vision, his eyesight went up. And as it went up, Subhanallah it came down again. And then when
he looked towards me, I told him Oh messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, this is what I noticed.
What happened? Can you explain to me and he says gibreel Allah, his Salatu was Salam came to me with
Revelation, Revelation of verses. What were those verses? So it's man of Nima own is now listening
to verses that were revealed in his presence. He used to say it all the time later on, that I know
of verses that came down while I was watching
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:16
			some of the most powerful verses of the Quran. All of us would know them because they are repeated
every Friday, almost every Friday, verse number 90 of pseudo tonale in Allah hyah mo Bella Danny
anyone is anyone he?
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:17
			He didn't
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25
			carry one body. Yeah.
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:59
			Indeed, Allah has instructed you, Allah commands that you fulfill justice, Allah commands that you
be just and Allah subhanho wa Taala commands, that you be kind Subhana Allah, justice and then
kindness and that you reach out to your relatives, you give to your relatives giving meaning wealth,
make sure that your family members are all okay. Your relatives are all okay. They have the first
right Oh,
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:37
			For you and your pocket, remember that your pocket the first right? Yes, you and your family members
and then your relatives May Allah subhanho wa Taala help us, many of us, the bright of our pockets
is just the right hand and Allah Subhana Allah to Allah help us we spend it on ourselves and that's
it. No, the more you spend, the more you will get, the more you spend, the more you are building
your palaces of the hereafter. Remember this, the more you keep for yourself, the greater the
chances of your children killing themselves over that wealth. May Allah subhanho wa Taala not let
that happen to us. So learn to spend. Now if you take a look at this verse, this is not a reason of
		
00:10:37 --> 00:11:16
			Revelation. It is actually a point of Revelation. Where was the verse revealed? It was revealed in
the presence of Earth man of new moon, and at the same time, look at the sequence. If Allah wanted
he could have told us, Allah instruct you to be kind, and to be just, but he says no, Allah
instructs you to be just and to be kind, because justice comes before kindness. It's your right.
It's your right to retaliate. But if you don't, it's kindness. Remember this, sometimes people
harass others and you find the pious coming to them and say you know what, just forgive him just
excuse him just forgive him keep on you forgive him once you forgive him twice you forgive him 10
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:33
			times it becomes a means of depression for a person to keep on forgiving someone else. It is your
right my brother to take retribution. It is your right to retaliate May Allah subhanahu wa taala
help us may grant us an understanding that having been said, it is always better to forgive
Mashallah.
		
00:11:34 --> 00:12:14
			always better to forgive but what this does mean, sometimes in a marriage, for example, you keep on
asking the wife to overlook, overlook, overlook, how long is she going to overlook? For Come on,
change your ways and habits My beloved husband? Subhana, Allah, and viceversa Allah subhanho wa
Taala help us May Allah subhanho wa Taala open our doors, my brothers and sisters, we face
challenges on the globe solely because we are unjust sometimes we want people really to adopt what
is kindness when we are oppressing them wholesale. And we think No, don't worry makes up what makes
up a suburb also has its limits. You need to know this, the Prophet sallallahu Sallam forgave, and
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:53
			he kept on forgiving. But there was a time when he prepared an army and went to fight. Do you know
that? May Allah subhanho wa Taala help us understand the balance? And may Allah subhanho wa Taala
open our doors, these are wonderful verses the reason is the divine wedding of Allah subhanho wa
Taala is so so unique, that the author of it always would teach us a lesson. And this is why
relatives are mentioned Do you know one of the reasons, one of the reasons is when you want to be
kind, it's not easy to be kind to your own family members. Every single extended family has to have
politics, it's impossible to have an extended family without some form of politics. The minute you
		
00:12:53 --> 00:13:26
			have wealth in the picture, the minute you have women in the picture Mashallah about a color
hamdulillah Allah subhanho wa Taala bless us. And I'm not saying this in a derogatory term. I'm
saying it because it is our duty to defend our women. So as I am defending my for example, the women
under my authority, I would find those who perhaps are oppressive. I'm at loggerheads with them.
Does that mean there was anything bad with the women? Not at all? It means I was standing up for
those under my authority. Let's understand we did not say anything abusive to the females
hamdulillah.
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:52
			My brothers and sisters, it's important for us to know this and it's important for us to realize
that Allah subhanho wa Taala expects us to go the extra mile to resolve family disputes will llahi a
person who wants a place in Paradise is a person who gives up what belongs to them sometimes only to
resolve an age old crisis. May Allah subhanho wa Taala help us May he open our door so the rest of
the verse Allah says
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:55
			he will
		
00:13:57 --> 00:14:12
			carry well Bobby, Allah subhanho wa Taala prohibits immorality, evil, immorality and evil and
oppression. A law prohibits it. Anything immoral, will rebound upon you. It will return to you at
some stage unless you repent.
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:47
			You know, repentance is a gift of Allah. We all make mistakes sometimes. While we were growing up,
we were young, perhaps we didn't know too much about the deen. Perhaps we did not know many of the
rules and regulations or maybe we were just weak. We were not that conscious. And as we grew older,
we realize the gift of Allah, we realize we need to turn to Allah. Imagine if there was no Toba if
there was no repentance and Allah says no, I will punish you. And that's it. There's no way you're
gonna come back here. Allah says you keep on seeking forgiveness and I will keep on forgiving you
for as long as you keep on seeking that forgiveness, what Mercy of Allah. So Allah says, quit this
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:59
			immorality. My brothers and sisters, we are living in an age of *. We are living in an age
where the elderly are now becoming caught into in *. May Allah subhanho wa Taala safeguard
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:40
			Eyes. May Allah subhanho wa Taala safeguard our minds. We have immorality that is a result of this
type of lack of control of the eyes of Allah. It's about time we quit. It's about time we cut it for
the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala. How long are we going to continue? What do you achieve by it,
you really achieve nothing besides contamination of the mind, the heart, the soul, the spirituality,
the link with Allah subhanho wa Taala contaminated because we want to view images that are
unacceptable. We want to view videos that are unacceptable. We want to pass them across to others,
using the social media that Allah has facilitated for us in order for us to get closer to him.
		
00:15:40 --> 00:16:19
			Rather we use it to become distant from Allah, the social media we have, whether it is WhatsApp,
whether it is Twitter, Facebook, whatever it is, it is there as a test for you and I in order to see
whether we will use it to grow closer to Allah subhanho wa Taala What do we do, we actually are
using it to distance ourselves from Allah subhanho wa Taala we become closer to the devil. May Allah
subhanho wa Taala protect us. This is why we have reminders of this nature, where Allah tells us
stay away from immorality, it will harm you, it's not going to do any good to you, it will
contaminate you, it will destroy your family, your home, you would have achieved nothing, absolutely
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:22
			nothing. Now Allah subhanho wa Taala grant the strength.
		
00:16:24 --> 00:17:04
			Then Allah subhanho wa Taala reminds us using a beautiful example of a woman who was not too well in
her mind at the time of the Prophet sallallaahu salam what she used to do, she used to spin the
thread, you know, she used to weave, and she used to strengthen what she had made. And at the end of
the day, after having knitted after having made whatever she made, she would sit and undo the whole
thing once again. Now that example fits for myself and yourselves where sometimes we do a lot of
good deeds, then we backed by about someone, we swear them, we cheat them, we deceive them, we've
robbed them, whatever we've done, and our good deeds are all undone by going to that particular
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:44
			person. So I read Salah in the first off before I walked out of the machine I engaged in backbiting
What happened to that Salah before I walked out it's already gone to another man who probably didn't
even come to the rescue Subhanallah and we think he was evil and terrible, not realizing brother You
just fulfilled it. On the account. It's gone to the other men. May Allah forgive us don't do that.
It is very serious. It's a matter of importance whereby when you do a good deed, ask yourself, have
I looked after the deed? Have I protected it? Have I tried my best to ensure it will come with me to
the day of piano? May Allah subhanho wa Taala help us? You've done your deeds? Will they really be
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:54
			with you on the day of judgment? May Allah forgive our shortcomings, and may He strengthen us? So
this verse, the serious stuff seems to be has a generation of people who are behind him.
		
00:17:55 --> 00:18:11
			And the Prophet salatu salam speaks of this woman who is from Vanessa, who used to as I said, we've
and at the end of the day, undo everything she had woven. So Allah says verse number 92, wala
takuna, aka Latina ba, ba, ba,
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:14
			ba de cuatro
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:23
			Taki Guna Iman Akuma holla Bain accom takuna
		
00:18:27 --> 00:19:09
			Do not be like the woman who twisted her spun thread after it was strong, in order that some of you
make usurp the wealth of others so that you become rich. So people used to take swear an oath, and
they make promises when it comes to business especially a lot of people make many promises that they
cannot meet. Why make the promise, you've made a promise stick to it, or don't have made it in the
first place? Subhana Allah. So Allah says do not be like the one who keeps on promising, promising
and then goes back on all those promises one after the other. It's equivalent to this woman, she
builds on something and after the after the day she actually undoes the whole thing. May Allah
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:11
			subhanho wa Taala grant us ease.
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:49
			Then we have the incident of those who are persecuted in Macedonia kurama. Today, it's becoming
quite difficult for some people to declare that they are Muslim. In some countries where people
would like to revert to Islam, either their families or their communities, or sometimes the
situation does not allow them to openly declare that we are Muslim. So you have many people who ask
the question, are we allowed to become Muslim without many people knowing that we are Muslim? The
answer is yes. opps obviously, it's Allah subhanho wa Taala. Allah knows that you you have believed
in your heart, it is best to become a part of the group and it is best to join but you don't have to
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:59
			declare to the globe that you are a Muslim. If there is a reason that you fear perhaps for your life
or you fear something, and perhaps you may not be able to announce it for some reason, so
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:41
			There is no problem. May Allah subhanahu wa taala make it easy for us all. We take it for granted my
brothers and sisters, but we don't realize what others are going through us. We are born Muslim, we
have in most cases, and we have no problem practicing Islam in our environment yet we don't want to
practice it. And those who are struggling across the globe who have to pay a fine to wear hijab.
They are wearing it and paying the fine How's that? So panela How's that? Look at where we are? What
type of appreciation of the gift of Allah subhanho wa Taala Do we have my brothers and sisters are
we waiting for the day when it goes away? When it is snatched suddenly it becomes hard for you to be
		
00:20:41 --> 00:21:10
			a Muslim and then you want to quickly go to to read Salah. Now while the massages are open, no one
is hindering you. No one's stopping you. People are encouraging you it's easy to get a lift to go to
the masjid for example, and we are busy snoring sleeping. May Allah subhanho wa Taala forgive us. So
at the time of the Prophet sallahu wa sallam narration of him by nabasa de la and he says Omari blue
Yasser Allahu anhu in Makkah to Makkah Rama was persecuted to the degree that he almost died.
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:28
			And they asked him if he was a Muslim or not. They asked him to utter a word. And they said, If you
say you're not, we will stop persecuting you. If you say you're not, we will stop beating you up. So
according to one another one of the narrations. He said the word he said okay, I'm not.
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:46
			And news quickly went to Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam that Omari blue yasir has renamed apostasy. He
has turned back to Cofer after he was a moment, but Allah subhanho wa Taala revealed verse number
106 of surah to Nan clarifying the position
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:49
			Kapha Robin
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:56
			de money in Okinawa konbu Tama in
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:00
			what
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:05
			shall have been kufri sadara la
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:51
			mina Ma, whoever disbelieves after they had believed, Allah says there is a severe punishment for
them, except the one who's forced to utter words while his heart is firmly on Eman. for them. There
is no blame. Who was that? A mercy for the long run. And the lesson is for us all someone who's
forced to utter a word. In Islam we are taught that at gunpoint if someone asks you a question and
you know, they probably blow your brains if you were to answer wrongly, you can give them the answer
they want because your life is more sacred than a simple answer. When your heart is clear cut on the
right path. May Allah subhanho wa Taala help us prioritize with us we have a strange problem. What
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:59
			is it? Nobody's holding a gun to our heads? But still, when someone asks you What's your name
instead of Mohammed? We are too shy we just say mo
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:25
			we are too shy to declare that we are Muslim. May Allah subhanho wa Taala forgive us. I recall a
sister Her name was Fatima. And really the way someone had asked her what her name was, and she did
not want to portray herself as a Muslim. And she says Kima and I'm thinking tema, I wonder what's
going on? May Allah subhanho wa Taala forgive us. We are not part of that team.
		
00:23:28 --> 00:24:07
			My brothers and sisters Don't be afraid will lie he don't be afraid. Sometimes your identity is what
will lead others towards the dean because they see the goodness you have. If I'm really a decent
person, why should I hide the fact that I'm a Muslim? When others know this person is a Muslim? They
are decent, they will be attracted to the true Deen to the true religion because they know that I'm
a person who is a Muslim who's trying to follow Islam, and I am a good person may Allah subhanho wa
Taala make us all good. So this was a beautiful clarification of the situation of America. And the
Prophet sallallahu Sallam said that he is definitely filled with the man filled with the man. He was
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:32
			a man who struggled. They were persecuted the others who were persecuted believe Nora ba, ba ba ba
ba ba ba law No. So hey by Rumi and the others. A lot of them refused even to say the word. They
took the punishment. They were bleeding up to the end. But they did not say any words to please the
kuffaar May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us a little bit of strength.
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:49
			Then we learn another beautiful lesson also from the verses of the Quran. Sometimes when someone has
done something bad to you, you end up doing bad to them for the rest of their lives. Someone made
one mistake Say for example, they said something wrong, they did something wrong.
		
00:24:50 --> 00:25:00
			We hold it as a grudge in our hearts forever and ever. And we penalize them forever because of one
thing they did love but we don't
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:37
			Realize every one of us makes mistakes. If Allah subhanho wa Taala had to double up the punishment
for anything we did, I think we would be doomed. But Allah subhanho wa Taala says and his mercy is
such when you do a good deed, I will multiply it by 10 when you've done a bad deed, I keep it as it
is an In fact I look for an excuse to forgive it. So Panama. Allah doesn't multiply the evil deeds,
No, he doesn't. He only multiplies the good deeds, the mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala. So the
Battle of Asha took place and this narration is made mention of incense and a theory as well as a
book known as a mustard rock of a man Hakeem narration of obeyed macabre, Allah and he says on the
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:43
			day of OSHA, almost 70 Sahaba were martyred from among them was Hamza, even a Abdulmutallab.
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:46
			And what happened?
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:53
			The Prophet sallallahu Sallam was very, very upset, because he saw what they did to the body of
Hamza bin Abdullah.
		
00:25:55 --> 00:26:17
			And he was very upset, and the answer will hurt and the mohabbatein were hurt so many of the
muslimeen were Martin, the Battle of ocean and you know what some of the answers said, when we have
a moment we will ensure that we do to them double this, which means we massacre themselves with
Allah May Allah subhanho wa Taala Forgive us, we will do double.
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:19
			Obviously they will hit
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:46
			May Allah subhanho wa Taala help us. So it is reported that on the day of the victory of Mecca,
Allah subhanho wa Taala revealed the following verse and this was may have been revealed more than
once. It appears in the Quran once but it may have been revealed more than once once at the occasion
of offered and once upon the victory of Makkah or perhaps only upon the victory of Mecca. But the
lesson is for us all to learn. Allah says this is verse number 126 of Salatu
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:48
			was in Kabul,
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:51
			Kibo Beamish Lima.
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:57
			Sabo Tula
		
00:26:58 --> 00:27:06
			savini, when you are punishing, punish equivalent to the crime that was committed.
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:45
			But if you were to bet patience, it is better for those who bear patience. Which means, if one
person has struck one person, you may strike one person, you don't say I'm going to strike 70 people
because of one, if your child, for example, has said a bad word, in order to reprimand the child to
correct the child, you don't slap the child until the child turns green and blue. No, it's a swear
word. Perhaps the child needs correction. Guess what? They probably learned it from you. Allah
forgive us. A lot of the times the children utter words, where did they get it from the Mother, the
Father. And then the mother and the father have a debate who exactly it was May Allah subhanho wa
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:46
			Taala forgive us.
		
00:27:48 --> 00:28:31
			May Allah subhanho wa Taala open our doors, when you want to punish when you want to retaliate, do
not go beyond the limits, study the case, look at what is the deserving punishment. You may exercise
it. But Allah ends by saying if you are patient, if you are patient, it's better for those who bear
patients much better. So take it easy. Now let's look at what happened upon the victory of Mecca.
Wow, beautiful. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam being faced with this same lot who came to
Ohio to massacre his own uncle and the others. And he looks at them and says yeah, Mashallah Polish
people have kurush, Masato noona and Nephilim become what do you think I'm going to do to you today?
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:51
			And obviously, he could have done anything because he's got the power, the authority, the final say
the army, the weaponry, everything is there, and these people are criminals. They did not deserve to
actually live if you take a careful look at it, because they had massacred muslimeen if they were
caught martial, they would have been executed all of them.
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:57
			But he says when they looked at him, they said you know you're a kind man, and now suddenly you're a
kind man.
		
00:28:58 --> 00:28:59
			You're a kind man.
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:02
			He says you have to
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:44
			go all of you free no retribution today. I tell you what the Prophet Joseph May peace be upon him.
Yusuf Alayhi Salam told his brothers law three ballet como yo no retribution upon you today. May
Allah subhanahu wa taala help us I want to end this evening. by reminding every one of us Let's
learn to forgive one another. Let's learn to turn a new leaf will law when you hold grudges, it is a
weight on your shoulders, it refuses sleep, it prohibits your sleep, it destroys your health. It
destroys your head. It makes you a stressed person. You walk around frowning, you develop such a
look on your face that you look so miserable. Don't do that. Learn to forgive and let go no matter
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:59
			what let it go. So panela By the will of Allah if possible, you will be able to be from among those
who are calm, cool and relaxed. Looking forward to the meeting with Allah subhanho wa Taala if you
forgive the chances of you being forgiven, by Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:35
			Allah become much, much greater May Allah subhanho wa Taala bless us all. I'd like to acknowledge
those who are listening to us from far and wide Mashallah on the live stream every single night and
hamdulillah We ask Allah Subhana Allah to Allah to bless you all. And we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala
to grant us forgiveness in this beautiful month of Ramadan, to make it a month with a difference to
accept from us, the Salah that we've been engaging in, as well as the fasting that we've been
engaging in, and we asked Allah soften our hearts and to help us to engender in the company of
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa salam, wa sallahu wa Sallim wa barik ala nabina Muhammad Subhan Allah
