00:00:00--> 00:00:02

My brothers and sisters, I'm going to work

00:00:02--> 00:00:04

on my bad habits and so do you

00:00:04--> 00:00:05

need to work on your bad habits. Why

00:00:05--> 00:00:08

am I spending time on this? Because the

00:00:08--> 00:00:09

qualities of the heart,

00:00:09--> 00:00:11

that's what matters. When I look at someone

00:00:11--> 00:00:12

else and I feel,

00:00:13--> 00:00:15

you know what, I would give my life

00:00:15--> 00:00:16

to protect this person. They are part of

00:00:16--> 00:00:17

me.

00:00:18--> 00:00:20

Wallahi, when you get to that stage you

00:00:20--> 00:00:21

are part of an ummah.

00:00:22--> 00:00:25

I swear, when I see someone in I'm

00:00:25--> 00:00:26

just giving you an example. When I see

00:00:26--> 00:00:29

someone that actually I can relate to this

00:00:29--> 00:00:31

person, this person's part of the Ummah. In

00:00:31--> 00:00:34

fact, it extends to humanity at large, any

00:00:34--> 00:00:36

human. That's why the Quran says, if you

00:00:36--> 00:00:38

save a single life without mentioning what religion,

00:00:38--> 00:00:40

without mentioning any other detail.

00:00:41--> 00:00:43

You save a single life, it's as good

00:00:43--> 00:00:45

as saving entire humanity. I'm sure you've heard

00:00:45--> 00:00:45

the verse.

00:00:47--> 00:00:47

Woman

00:00:48--> 00:00:51

But there comes a closer and a closer

00:00:51--> 00:00:52

and a closer relation

00:00:53--> 00:00:55

as the circle becomes smaller and smaller and

00:00:55--> 00:00:57

smaller until you get to your own blood.

00:00:57--> 00:01:00

Blood meaning brother sister. Why do we say

00:01:00--> 00:01:02

blood? Because Allah chose them for you. You

00:01:02--> 00:01:05

didn't choose them. Who's your mother? Who's your

00:01:05--> 00:01:07

father? Who's your brothers and sisters if you

00:01:07--> 00:01:08

They are the ones chosen by Allah.

00:01:07--> 00:01:08

They are the ones chosen by Allah.
