00:00:01 --> 00:00:03
			You help others Allah helps you but you
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:06
			heal at the same time. Did you know
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			that when you assist others, the fulfillment
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:11
			that you get within you is something that
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:15
			releases some form of whatever it may be.
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:16
			I'm not not a doctor but I do
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:17
			know spiritually
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:18
			you are fulfilled.
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			To a degree that you begin to
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			appreciate the small favors of Allah in your
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:25
			life.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:29
			And consider them large and very big.
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			Go and see the children crying across the
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:32
			globe.
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			We went all over.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			We've been to the Middle East. We've been
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			elsewhere. I've been with Abdullah aid.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			And I wouldn't go and waste my time
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			if I thought
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			that there was anything
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:46
			wrong
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			with such an organization,
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:49
			such a charity.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			And
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			the work.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			Not secondhand. Firsthand.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:55
			Done.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			Reaching out personally to people.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:00
			Delivering
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			the goods to the people.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			What joy and fulfillment
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			I got, I can't even describe.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			And yet I was there
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			in my own way as a volunteer.
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			Later on, I agreed to become an ambassador,
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:19
			honorary.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:22
			To say inshallah we'll take this course, we'll
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			work for it, we'll actually promote it, that
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			the people know who and what Abdullahi stands
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29
			for, Where it came from. Who is behind
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			it. What they do and what they've achieved
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			so far and what they're aiming to achieve.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:38
			But in your lives my brothers and sisters,
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			it's impossible
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			not to have a problem or an issue
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:44
			or a difficulty or hardship. It's impossible. The
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46
			reason is when Allah made you, he already
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			wrote your examination
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:48
			paper
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			before you were born. And there have to
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			be some tough questions there. Otherwise,
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			it's not called a test.
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:58
			Allah says we created you to test you.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			If Allah says he created you to test
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			you, you're gonna have some difficult questions.
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			When you have an examination at school and
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:07
			all the questions are quite easy,
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			what happens to
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			you? Even if you got a 100%, everyone
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			else has a 100%. So the horse and
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			the donkey are tied with the same rope.
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:16
			Right?
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			No 1 knows the difference.
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:21
			But when you have difficult questions, 5 people
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			in the whole hall got all of them
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:25
			right. And now we're talking about the horses.
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			And a few of them didn't even know
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			what language the paper was written in because
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:31
			they've been sleeping,
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:34
			pretending like they attended all the Zoom lessons,
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35
			and they didn't.
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37
			You know what I mean?
