			But imagine you're going through struggles.
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:05
			People of yours, community who are members of
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:07
			the same Ummah. And we said faith is
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			much more important than anything else.
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			And we we share the same faith. And
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			you know what? Nobody even bothered ask, are
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			you okay? Nobody bothered.
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19
			So so so it's important my brothers and
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:22
			sisters that we make sure we are different
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:23
			in that way.
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:27
			Ask, Smile. Are you okay brother? Everything good.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30
			Masha Allah or sister. Whoever it may be.
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			We have people who are struggling alone. That's
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			not how the Ummah should operate.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:39
			The believers, true believers are like one body.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:41
			Are you really like one body?
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			Are you really like one body? Do you
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			feel that Hadid says if one part of
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			a certain organ is in pain, the entire
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
			body is in pain or suffers insomnia, cannot
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			sleep and so on. Is it really the
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:54
			case?
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			I was talking to some a group of
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			people and one of the brothers told me
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:00
			well you know what happens nowadays? I said
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:03
			what happens? He says nowadays even if there's
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			nothing wrong with the body they'll take a
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			nail and nail it through your your finger.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			Subhanallah. Whereas it's supposed to be that if
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			there is a little pain in your finger,
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:16
			people should be helping you to actually alleviate
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:16
			it.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:20
			But it's the opposite. We cause the harm.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:23
			No way. You cannot be a true believer.
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:24
			You still need a lot of help. Do
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:27
			not harm others. A Mu'min should not harm
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			another,
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			and we shouldn't be harming anyone for that
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:34
			matter. We spread goodness, kindness. We want it
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			to happen now. I may not have so
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37
			much of time. No problem.
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:41
			Use whatever Allah has given you to spread
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:41
			goodness.
