			beloved brothers and sisters and dearest listeners. Allah subhanho wa Taala has commenced to Ratan

00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			in a very interesting manner.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:45
			We all know that Allah subhanho wa Taala watches everything he knows everything he listens to
everything. And Allah subhanho wa Taala no one can hide from him.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:50
			There was once a lady who came to Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:02:01
			This lady was married. And we all know that it is difficult for married women to complain about
their husbands when their husbands are harassing them in one way or another.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:07
			The little harassments on a daily basis May Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us.
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:36
			It is difficult for a woman to come up and complain about the one who is supposed to be protecting
her. The one who is supposed to be providing for her. But after some time they build up the courage.
So one such woman known as Hola, Ventus Allah, Allahu Allah built up the courage and she came to
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa salam ala rasulillah salam, Allahu alayhi wa sallam, I have got a
problem. There is a crisis in my home.
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:38
			What is that crisis?
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:48
			My husband has lost interest in me to the degree that now he passes comments saying that you are
just like my mother, and he stays away from me.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:03:07
			Who can I go to? Who can I tell? What should I do? Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam gave her
some good advice. Look, be patient bear patients. Try this. Try that. remember Allah subhanho wa
Taala is with those who bear patients and the advice that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
gave her
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:12
			but she complained and she continued to dispute to say now it's too much.
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:24
			He has now made a similarity between myself and his mother. How is that possible? He's trying to
tell me that I am a Muharram to him, so he will not sleep with me basically.
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			So Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam waited.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:37
			As this woman began to leave gibreel Allah is Salatu was Salam came down with powerful vs.
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:43
			Code a semi colon it to JD no caffeine.
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			Jackie.
		
00:03:50 --> 00:04:00
			Allah subhanho wa Taala has heard the lady who has come to you complaining about her husband, and
she is complaining to Allah subhanho wa Taala. We will show her the way out.
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:45
			This verse is so powerful, it brings tears to the eyes. And it brings comfort to those women who are
being oppressed, that Allah subhanho wa Taala knows what you are going through. And Allah subhanho
wa Taala will assist you and it also presents a very stern warning to those men who take advantage
of the vulnerability of the women and they continue harassing them and troubling them. They cannot
speak to their own parents sometimes. Allah subhanho wa Taala knows their plight. May Allah protect
us all. We should never be oppressing the women folk. This is why it is very important that if we
have problems we should solve them. Let us admit where we are wrong as menfolk
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:59
			and this does not give the green light to the women folk to say that now every problem the men are
wrong and the women are correct, no. But even where the women folk are wrong will lie for the sake
of Allah subhanho wa Taala we need to change our
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:20
			May Allah subhanho wa Taala make us stronger. And Allah subhanho wa Taala instructed that particular
husband to say that you must fast as a punishment and a penalty for that statement of yours for two
consecutive months, two consecutive months without missing a single day in between.
		
00:05:21 --> 00:06:12
			Amazing and if he was not able to do that there were other issues that he would have engaged in
Allah subhanho wa Taala makes that clear in this particular surah. And this is why the surah is
called either al Majid Allah which means the dispute that complaint that literal argument about the
husband, or al mujer de la after the woman herself known as the woman who came to you with that
dispute. May Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us in this surah Allah subhanho wa Taala makes mention
of the secret meetings that we have. And he says Alam de la jolla la Murphy sama wati wa murfin Do
they not know that Allah knows everything in the skies and on earth? May akumina Giovanna sat in the
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:12
			room
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:18
			in this room, do they not know that whenever they are four allies,
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:26
			whenever there are five allies, the six allies or watch full, we can never ever hide from Allah.
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:33
			We need to be conscious of our actions even in our own bedrooms. May Allah Subhana Allah protect us.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:38
			Then Allah subhanho wa Taala in the next surah, which is Surah to Hashem.
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:45
			Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks about the wealth that was given to the Muslim mean.
		
00:06:46 --> 00:07:02
			If you take a look at Islamic history, there was a time when the Muslims were driven out of Makkah,
they had to engage in Egypt fulfill the hegira they left their properties, they left their wealth
and they were forced out of their houses. And then there was a time
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:20
			when Allah subhanho wa Taala permitted them to retaliate and to get back whatever was taken from
them. And as they were getting it back, Allah subhanho wa Taala dictated terms to Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wasallam This is how you shall split the wealth.
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:43
			And after making mention of all these economic rules, rules pertaining to the financial assets of
the Muslim mean, how they must be handled and what should happen. Allah subhanho wa Taala says why
he has decreed those laws of Islamic economics. He says Kayla Hakuna dula
		
00:07:50 --> 00:08:38
			coil so that wealth does not remain in the hands of the rich forever and ever. For that reason, the
rich have to give to the poor and must assist the poor and they will come times when Allah will
might make those who have not have any more May Allah protect us and they will come a time when
those who are poor will become multimillionaires. All this is a test from Allah subhanho wa Taala
the days cannot remain the same that is a guarantee from Allah subhanho wa Taala. So I'm sure in our
lives we've seen examples of tycoons whose grandchildren are begging on the streets and examples of
those who have very humble beginnings who are now tycoons May Allah subhanho wa Taala be pleased
		
00:08:38 --> 00:09:05
			with us because the criteria is the pleasure of Allah subhanho wa Taala must be achieved. May Allah
subhanho wa Taala really be pleased with us whether you have or don't have, if Allah is pleased with
you, there is nothing more than you need in your life. May Allah Subhana Allah be pleased with us.
And that is why Allah speaks of the poor people who are those who are poor, the Maha jurien after
they were driven out of their homes, Allah makes mention of their qualities and praises them in
Surah Tasha
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:11
			Lil fukada in Mohan Jean alladhina
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:18
			una una
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:19
			una
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:23
			una
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:51
			una Allah subhana wa Taala speaks of the Menagerie and he says those poor Mahajan who are driven out
of their homes, their properties where you saved from them, they were driven out of their homes and
their land they made hegira for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala. They assisted Allah cause and
they assisted directly the Messenger of Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah uses one word to describe
them.
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			Those are truthful they have fulfilled their covenant
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:06
			They are they are really, really truthful. They have stood up to their word Allahu Akbar, may Allah
make as truthful as well.
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:13
			Not forgetting the answer, who are the unsung, those whom the Mahajan went to
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:20
			imagine, there was such a huge movement of human beings from one city to the other.
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:55
			Nowadays, we have the UNHCR, United Nations High Commission for refugees, something of that nature,
where they still cannot solve the refugee crisis of the globe. They leave the people intense and
they feed them. Well. Alhamdulillah Allah subhanho wa Taala use us to help those who have been
displaced. And may Allah subhanho wa Taala not make us from those who are driven out of our own
homes. But if we look at how asuma sallallahu alayhi wa sallam saw the matter, it was not even a
problem.
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:01
			Ah ha, Wu sallallahu alayhi wa sallam abena Mahajan.
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:42
			When he arrived in Madina, munawwara he looked at the residents of Medina. And he picked them up one
by one and he chose for every family, one family from amongst the Mahajan. You take them into your
house and look after them. Allahu Akbar. So double the population of Medina. Suddenly without even
noticing that we all have guests Alhamdulillah if all of us here in Cape Town, have a guest in our
homes, will the others notice they won't notice until we get that maybe in the machine then we will
see Mashallah, there are people from all over who are here. So Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam solved the problem. And Allah subhanho wa Taala praises the answer.
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:51
			What is the quality of the answer? Allah subhana wa Taala speaks about it. When levena turbo da one
		
00:11:52 --> 00:12:07
			company, you have boon among him, they love those who came to them, they love their guests. When a
guest comes we should be getting happy. It is a sign of Baraka. It is a sign of the pleasure of
Allah subhanho wa Taala.
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:10
			Some of those
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:20
			guests came to them. They were worried. They were worried that maybe they have done deeds that were
unacceptable. So allies keeping away from them the honor of hospitality.
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:29
			With us, we hope that is the case that we regard it as an honor. And Allah subhanho wa Taala says,
Well, I don't have
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:34
			to tell you
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:43
			what, oh, can I be him? kasasa Allahu Akbar, Allah says, in their hearts,
		
00:12:44 --> 00:13:04
			they do not find any need for what Allah has given them when someone else needs it. So Allah has
given us food, and I look at it, I need it, but someone else also needs it. The answer were from
amongst them who happily gave it away, knowing that we might even die of hunger.
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:37
			Allah says you Runa Allah and fusi him they gave preference to others over themselves want to kind
of be in kasasa though they had a dire need for what they were giving away. How many of us can do
that? Allahu Akbar. This is why Allah subhanho wa Taala has not tested us with that because it's
difficult for us to get to that level. May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us understanding that he
chose the answer because he knew what he wanted to achieve from them. And Allah He they achieved it
with the assistance of Allah subhanho wa Taala.
		
00:13:38 --> 00:14:05
			Allah subhanho wa Taala then speaks about those who follow thereafter and Allah subhanho wa Taala
praises all of them. We hope and pray that we are also included from amongst those who came
thereafter. And we ask Allah Subhana Allah to Allah to make us true followers of Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, then Allah subhanho wa Taala wounds all of us very interesting verses
I'm sure most of us know these verses of my heart. Allah subhanho wa Taala says
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:10
			de la
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:13
			luna soon.
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:19
			Nevada law.
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:59
			Oh you believe be conscious of Allah subhanho wa Taala your Creator be conscious of him. And every
single one of you should prepare for tomorrow. Each one of you should look into what you have
prepared when you meet Allah subhanho wa Taala. What are you going to give him? What are you going
to tell him? How are you going to answer your questions? Every single one of us must ask ourselves
that question. How am I going to respond to the questioning when Allah subhanho wa Taala asks me am
I prepared
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:19
			For the day of piano, if we really look at that verse and we put it into practice, automatically we
will stay away from Hara and automatically we will be fulfilling our duties and we will be engaging
in excess good deeds preparing for the next day meaning for the future, when we meet Allah subhanho
wa Taala
		
00:15:21 --> 00:16:02
			May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us understanding. And Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks about how had
that Koran being revealed in the Quran that we read, had it been revealed onto a mount, that mount
would have humbled itself and probably crumbled with the fear of Allah subhanho wa Taala whereas the
Quran has been revealed to men, some of us we don't even bat an eyelid and our hearts don't even
tremble when we hear the verses of Allah subhanho wa Taala being recited, yet, the other creatures
of Allah subhanho wa Taala the walls and the sand the mounds understand the greatness of this word,
low.
		
00:16:21 --> 00:17:06
			Amazing, the power of the Quran, that is the verse we translated just before we recited it, may
Allah subhanho wa Taala accept us all. And at the end of that surah Allah makes mention of lots of
his names and qualities, and I'm sure a lot of us memorize some of those verses. Beautiful verses
who Allahu la de la ilaha illa who it is he Allah there is none besides Him and after that Allah
subhanho wa Taala makes mention of some of his names and his qualities, it is important that we get
to know the names of Allah subhanho wa Taala we understand them and we believe in them and we use
them to call out to Allah subhanho wa Taala it is not impossible to learn one name a day, one name
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:29
			every day, ponder over it, use it to call out to Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah subhanho wa Taala
make us strong. The next one, Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks about how our families and our
relations will not help us nor will they help anyone else on the day of the Yama in front of Allah
subhanho wa Taala.
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:39
			Yeoman.
		
00:17:42 --> 00:18:11
			On that day when Allah subhanho wa Taala judges between people, he says, your lineage will not come
to your assistance. My father was a rich man. No, that's got nothing to do with today. Meaning with
the day of piano, I was from a very noble home My dad was a president or a leader or prime minister
or the Imam in the masjid. No, that will not help each one will answer his or her own questions. May
Allah Subhana Allah have mercy on me and you
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:43
			and may Allah subhanho wa Taala make that which will help be there for us. Those who have followed
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he will argue and fight and intercede on their behalf. May
Allah subhanahu wa taala grant us the intercession of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he has
spoken about it many times. And we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to make us from amongst those who
deserve it. I mean, then Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks about how
		
00:18:44 --> 00:19:01
			the enemies of Islam we should not be friend, those who are open and outright enemies of Islam. We
should not be friendly. Allah subhanho wa Taala species in meaning mentions it in the first verse of
the surah and in the last verse as well.
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:15
			But that does not mean that we hate those who are not Muslims no ways Allah clarifies that in the
same surah la Yun ha como la mornin Latina la musica De Luca COVID de la mujer
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:17
			de comm
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:22
			Babu moto Casa por la him in Allah.
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:52
			Allah does not stop you from being good. And from fulfilling the complete rights of those who have
not fought you as Muslim in those who are non Muslims. They didn't fight you they didn't drive you
out of your homes, they did not attack you in any way. They are not from amongst those whom you must
not be friend meaning you can have a limited friendship with them. But Allah subhanho wa Taala says,
In como la guanine, lovey levena pata Lu confit de
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:59
			Allah says he prohibits you from befriending those
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:21
			who have come out to fight you, who have come out to kill you who have come out to drive you out of
your homes, it would be foolish for members of one army, when they know the enemy is coming forth,
and some of them say no, but those are our friends. Let's go and party with them very foolish. So
Allah subhanho wa Taala is making mention of that here. But still, Allah says,
		
00:20:22 --> 00:21:02
			We must be just there is a difference between friendship and justice. Justice is for friend and foe
when your friend has done something wrong. It does not mean because he's your friend, you must now
take his side that is haram. And when your enemy has done something correct, and he is right, it
does not mean because he's your enemy, you must side with the other. No, that is also injustice.
Allah say stand up for justice, whether it is for you or against you, Justice must always be saved
and delivered. But when it comes to friendship, we need to understand the limits of friendship in
Islam, may Allah subhanho wa Taala not make us befriend those who are killing us and fighting us but
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:18
			at the same time, may we be of the best of character and conduct even when it comes to the non
Muslims, may we be those who are helpful to them, and who are polite to them, who can literally give
the true picture of Islam that these people are very, very helpful. Remember,
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:31
			some people and this is a very important clarification. Some people come out and they say you know
all the non Muslims, we must kill them. stokfella that is a dangerous statement absolutely
unacceptable in Islam.
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:55
			There were no Muslims at one stage. If that was the command, how would we have accepted Islam? How
are our forefathers going to have accepted Islam? Those who utter those statements, they don't
understand the message of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. They are too lazy to go out and to
serve the cause to try and call people towards goodness, they would prefer to eradicate them.
		
00:21:56 --> 00:22:14
			What an insult to Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. We could never have been taught to eradicate
those around us impossible because there was a stage when only Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
was the one who had accepted prior to him having gone to his own wife Khadija been deployed with
rhodiola Juana who was the first to accept the call.
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:58
			And even with his own companions, he made sure he went out of his way to be good, yes, those who
then lifted the spears he defended, and he only defended when Allah subhanho wa Taala permitted him
to defend as we have seen in verses that we have spoken about in the last few days. So it is very
important that we display the best character and conduct and we adjust to the non Muslims. And we
make sure that we are not guilty of portraying the wrong image of this beautiful religion of Islam.
May Allah subhanho wa Taala make us torch bearers and flag bearers of this Deen so that just by
looking at us, we can have large groups of non Muslims who can realize that this is the truth, and
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:05
			they can turn the hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam informs us while la de la,
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:06
			la,
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:53
			la, la, la come in for more in Nam, la he if Allah has used you to guide one human being, it's
better for you then all the most expensive and valuable material items that this dunya holds just
one person. So imagine if we were to go out and smile and we were to be helpful and we were to be
honest and trustworthy. May Allah subhanho wa Taala make us very, very good. So this particular
surah is clarifying and making it very clear to say there are certain categories of people that we
regard as enemies, but not all the non Muslims are that the majority of them are in fact, innocent
people who are waiting for the message of Islam. May Allah subhanho wa Taala use us to serve the
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:53
			cause.
		
00:23:54 --> 00:24:03
			Then Allah subhanho wa Taala in the next era, speaks about hypocrisy in the opening verses. So to
soften Allah subhanho wa Taala says
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:10
			levena Manali mata kulu nama
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:18
			kabu Rama Tata De La Paloma
		
00:24:21 --> 00:25:00
			Oh believers, why is it that you are uttering that which you do not fulfill? Why is it that your
statements are heading in one direction and your deeds are heading in another direction? Why? Allah
subhanho wa Taala says that is a very serious crime in the eyes of Allah subhanho wa Taala. Allah is
warning us from hypocrisy. We say we are Muslim. We should live as Muslims. We have given someone
our word. We must live by it. May Allah subhanho wa Taala make us honest. What a big insult.
Sometimes we have people who appear to be brilliant Muslims.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:42
			ambassadors of Muhammad salallahu alayhi wa sallam dressed absolutely islamically and the people
will tell you you know what this man frequents the casinos. What an insult to Muhammad sallallahu
alayhi wasallam or they will tell you this is the most dishonest businessman stay very far away from
him yet he looks so religious May Allah subhanho wa Taala safeguard us, it is very important that we
tackle both the exterior and the interior. There is no point in tackling the exterior when the
interior is hollow like bamboo. And no point in tackling the interior when the exterior does not
even show that we are Muslim in May Allah subhanahu wa taala make us Muslims who are proud to be
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:48
			Muslims. And may Allah subhanho wa Taala not make us hypocritical. So Allah subhanho wa Taala after
that,
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:53
			he asked, he asks a question in the same surah
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:56
			Yeah.
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:56
			Any of you who believe should I not show you that business or those dealings that you can engage in?
That will save you from a very painful punishment? Allahu Akbar. Nowadays when a robbery has
occurred in our house once we employ the top security firm, and on top of that, we will put in our
homes, the top systems the senses that will sense a rat which will run across the yard. We have
those systems why we are worried about any form of payment, any form of pain, we are worried about
it. May Allah subhanahu wa taala protect us. So Allah is telling us we are so worried about this
dunya for one thief to walk into our yard forget about stealing. If you have noticed the thief
		
00:26:56 --> 00:27:18
			finished you won't sleep that night. It's effect. So if we are so worried about that, what about the
punishment of the era where they will be servants and the descriptions given in the Quran, where
there will be snakes and scorpions awaiting those who have transgressed Allah subhanho wa Taala says
wait, I will show you the system to protect yourself from that.
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:27
			Don't mean Oh Nabina Sunni Moto G Dona feasability, Amal Kumar.
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:59
			believe in Allah and follow the messenger believe in the messenger and struggle. Struggle yourselves
with your wealth with your bodies struggle to achieve the obedience of Allah subhanho wa Taala
struggle to become better Muslims May Allah subhanho wa Taala accept that struggle from us. So our
whole life must be a struggle. The word jihad is misunderstood by many, sometimes intentionally
misinterpreted by the non Muslims. Jihad means a struggle.
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:42
			It does not necessarily solely and only mean a holy war that might be included in the term. But the
greater part of the interpretation of that word is to do with the struggle to be the best of people
to be the example that when people look at us automatically, they say that man, I'd like to be like
him, Allahu Akbar. May Allah subhanho wa Taala make us those whose struggle is made easy and may He
accepted from us thereafter. So Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks about it here. I mentioned these
verses a few days ago and I said Allah uses the term business. Why? Because many people when it
comes to business, they are quick to listen. They think that it is to do with the dollar and the
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:53
			RAND and gold and silver. So Allah subhanho wa Taala uses that term here to draw our attention. May
Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us all understanding. Then the next year I saw to Juma
		
00:28:54 --> 00:29:37
			where Allah subhanho wa Taala makes mentioned the importance of Joomla and the fact that once a week
we must attend the masjid, so that we can meaning once a week we must come early to listen to the
hookman the talk so that we can refresh and we can listen to the message once again and it can give
us the dose that we need in sha Allah May Allah subhanho wa Taala make us from amongst those who can
come to Juma so early Do you know there is a competition every Friday marwaha visa una vaca Nakamura
Baba Donna, there is a long hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, whoever arrives first
for Juma as though they have sacrificed one big camel for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:59
			whoever arrives in that in the first moments for them, there is the same reward, then the ones who
come later, as though they have sacrificed the smaller animal, the ones who come later as though
they have sacrificed the chicken, the ones who come almost towards the end meaning just before the
lecture starts as though they have sacrificed an egg and thereafter when the Imam gets up even the
angels who are writing the name
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:21
			Close the books and they come in to listen to the lecture. So now those who have come late, the Juma
might be done, the forum is achieved but the greater reward they did not achieve it Why? Because
even the angels did not register that these people had attended. So it's important Allah subhanho wa
Taala names 100 surah after surah to Juma meaning after tomorrow, and he says,
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:28
			either no de la sala Timmy. Giamatti, Isla de la.
		
00:30:31 --> 00:31:04
			When the call is called for jumada dan is called leave all your dealings and rush towards the
machine. What a command May Allah make us strong? May Allah subhanho wa Taala make us win that
competition I spoke about moments ago at least once in our lives. At least once in our lives. Let's
get here from early morning to say Allah I want to win the competition today. So at least once our
names will be written, that this person has sacrificed a camera. We know that it's difficult to find
camels in this part of the world. But there will be people in our cities who will be sacrificing
cameras every single week.
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:14
			Allahu Akbar May Allah subhanho wa Taala make us strong. And Allah subhanho wa Taala in the next
surah meaning the sutra is named after
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:29
			the hypocrites themselves. Moments ago we spoke of some qualities of hypocrisy. Now Allah subhanho
wa Taala names, the whole surah the surah of the hypocrites and the need, there are some of the
qualities of the hypocrites I want to mention one
		
00:31:31 --> 00:32:14
			Yes, sir boonah coulissante hatin Allah him every cry, a hypocrite regards it as an attack against
him. Listen very carefully. This is a very, very important statement. If I want to know if I'm a
hypocrite, or you want to know if you have hypocrisy in you. There is one question when the Imam
gets up and speaks, do I feel that he is attacking me? If that is the case, I am wrong. I have
hypocrisy in me. There is something my guilty conscience is telling me what that Imam is saying is
correct, but because I am committing the sin, so I feel like I am being addressed. Let me go and
rectify my ways, but we must never get up and roll our sleeves and say right, I'm going to fix that
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:51
			Imam. Why? Because now he's attacking me. Look, he knows I'm the one who has that type of a
business. Why did he say those who sell alcohol? We will not eat at their houses. Why did he say
that? He knows that. I'm the only one who sells alcohol Allah protect us. Well, that's a guilty
conscience. That means yes, there is something wrong whether he spoke about you or not. Why are you
engaged in the sin when a man has committed Zina, and then he runs in for Salah to Juma men Allah
protect us. And the Imam is talking about Zina. And coincidentally the Imam says some people now to
be loved they will commit Zina and rush to the masjid. That man will look up and he will see he will
		
00:32:51 --> 00:33:03
			look everywhere to say what did they see me or what? That is the guilty conscience. May Allah
protect us. Why does that happen? Because the one who is involved in sin when sin is being spoken
about.
		
00:33:04 --> 00:33:43
			He will feel maybe this is being addressed to me. And this is why it is best when you don't even
know the Imam and he is speaking about something you are involved in. You must know those words were
tailor made by Allah subhanho wa Taala for your ears. And Allah had sent the message for you to
remind you, please don't engage in this here is a stranger who has come to tell you that don't do
this. May Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us so one of the qualities of the hypocrites, every cry,
every scream, every year, every message they regarded against themselves and they feel hurt about it
and they want to tackle people about it. May Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us.
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:47
			Then Allah subhanho wa Taala in the next Torah
		
00:33:48 --> 00:33:56
			speaks about In fact, before we get to the next Surah At the end of the same surah Allah subhanho wa
Taala warns us about something. He says, when
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:00
			he
		
00:34:04 --> 00:34:49
			when the fixed time comes for the expiry of any life, we will never delay neither a second this way
nor a second that way. Never. So remember, the prescribed time is there. We need to prepare for our
time number one. Number two is when someone passes away in our family, we must never question
Allah's decree. Never. That time was there from the day they were born. And even before from when
they were in the wombs of their mothers. It was already prescribed when they would be born and when
they were going to die. So do not despair. That was a last time it was a plan from Allah subhanho wa
Taala we believe and Islam and the man the only religion on the globe that makes it incumbent upon
		
00:34:49 --> 00:34:59
			its followers to accept the good and bad faith. We won't question it comes from Allah while he was
happy he mean Allahu taala good and bad faith is from Allah. I won't question you
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:03
			I will surrender to it. May Allah subhanho wa Taala make us strong.
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:14
			Then the next year Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks about how our children and our wealth become a
test for us at times. Allah subhanho wa Taala says in
		
00:35:16 --> 00:36:01
			como una Docomo fitna definite definitely your wealth your children, your offspring and in another
verse, even your family members, your spouse's all these items are a test. So remember to pass the
test. Two things we need to remember one is, we must never give our family members or our wealth or
anything that is created preference over Allah subhanho wa Taala. When Allah command comes, it is
first then everything else. But at the same time, the second thing to remember is we must never ever
oppressed because it is a test. Don't oppress your spouse, don't steal money. Don't do wrong
dealings with your wealth, and don't even oppress your children. Because Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:36:01 --> 00:36:14
			knows absolutely everything as we mentioned at the beginning of tonight's talk, so it's important
that we realize both these items, then in the next year, Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks about Allah
the surah is named surah Allah
		
00:36:15 --> 00:36:52
			May Allah subhanho wa Taala really preserved the marriages of those who have married May Allah
subhanho wa Taala help on an Eve like this, those who are having marital turbulence and disputes it
is not impossible to solve the problems to forgive and forget and to start a new leaf. May Allah
subhanho wa Taala help us to start a new leaf. One brother just on a lighter note I told him brother
you need to start a new leaf. He says but now my pins have stopped working. May Allah subhanho wa
Taala protect us what he meant by that I leave it to you may Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us
understanding we will use our pens inshallah and we will start on a new leaf without mistakes and
		
00:36:52 --> 00:37:34
			hamdulillah wherever we make mistakes we turn to Allah Subhana Allah to Allah. So we must remember
that Allah subhanho wa Taala warns us regarding Allah don't ever utter the words don't ever utter
the words no matter what. When you when you want to divorce, you must first consult Allah ma sit
with them, talk to them, have a meeting with them, realize and understand what you are getting into
and then divorce solely in the correct way. Otherwise if we utter the words and blurt them with our
mouths, we will regret the Hadith says teletoon. Dune Dune was Luna Dune there are three things that
even if you are joking about them, they will occur and even if you are being serious about them they
		
00:37:34 --> 00:37:41
			will occur and nikka what palapa and the freeing of a slave. May Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us
all.
		
00:37:42 --> 00:37:48
			And in the surah Allah makes mention of the ADA and Allah says, woman, tequila.
		
00:37:50 --> 00:38:04
			Raja whoever is going to be Allah, Allah subhanho wa Taala will show them away and make a way out
for them. While mizuko minhang Tula does evil and Allah will grant them through a means that they
never dreamed of.
		
00:38:05 --> 00:38:38
			What does this mean? Sometimes a woman is divorced and she loses hope now what's going to happen to
me Allah says, Don't worry, that was the best thing that could ever happen to you. Allah will open
another door for you Be patient. And Allah says if you fear Allah and you are conscious of Allah,
very soon, he will open a new door for you from where you did not even imagine. Allahu Akbar. So
those whom this problem has happened to me Allah subhanho wa Taala make them strong. The same
applies those who engage in what is known as mudslinging after divorce, which is haram in Islam.
After a divorce someone asks you what went wrong, you should say look, we will not compatible.
		
00:38:38 --> 00:39:15
			That's it. Don't go into details. It is not up to me or up to you to start disgracing someone in
public no matter what. Now Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us. So if we are victims of mudslinging,
don't worry, Allah will cleanse your name at one stage in sha Allah. May Allah subhanho wa Taala
neither make us the victims nor the perpetrators. And Allah subhanho wa Taala makes mention of woman
tequila, Allah who not only when we open the doors, but we will make things easy for that person if
they fear Allah, and we will grant him so much goodness May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us all
goodness, the last two are that we read tonight.
		
00:39:16 --> 00:39:21
			Allah subhanho wa Taala in that surah speaks about
		
00:39:22 --> 00:39:29
			forgiveness. And Allah subhanho wa Taala instructs all of us a very powerful instruction.
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:31
			Yeah.
		
00:39:34 --> 00:39:37
			To boo in Allah.
		
00:39:40 --> 00:39:42
			Allahu Akbar.
		
00:39:43 --> 00:40:00
			We have now come towards the end of Ramadan. What a beautiful verse reminding us Oh you believe
repent to Allah, not only repent to Allah, but repent to Allah, true repentance. May Allah subhanho
wa Taala make us from amongst those who can see
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:06
			is the month of Ramadan to repent and not just repent a true repentance let's turn to Allah as
		
00:40:12 --> 00:40:14
			to why you do.
		
00:40:18 --> 00:40:42
			Allah subhanho wa Taala will compensate all your sins and He will grant you Jana in return. How many
of us would do that for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala inshallah we will all do that for the
sake of Allah. Allah Allah. May Allah subhanho wa Taala Forgive us, he shows us how the wife of the
round sought forgiveness from Allah subhanho wa Taala in the same Surah At the end
		
00:40:43 --> 00:40:51
			and he says the wife of Iran knew that Iran was on the wrong path. She raised her hands and she says
rabine
		
00:40:54 --> 00:41:39
			when a genie movie around our money when a genie Minato midvalley me Oh Allah Oh my Rob Oh, my
Creator, booed for me make for me, right near you a house. She didn't say build for me a house near
you. But she said build for me make for me near you a house because the newness was more important
than the house itself. May Allah subhanho wa Taala draws closer and closer to him. And she continues
to say save me from Freetown and his deeds and save me from those who are oppresses May Allah
subhanho wa Taala also save us from operation and May Allah grant us success in this on this day,
this beautiful month of Ramadan wa sallahu wa Sallim wa barik ala nabina Muhammad Subhan Allah
		
00:41:39 --> 00:41:42
			Subhana Allah homovanillic Misha to Allah Allah Allah
		
00:41:43 --> 00:41:43
			Allah
