salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.

00:00:06--> 00:00:18

smilla rahmanir rahim al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen wa Salatu was Salam O Allah Shafi Nabina Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa bien, woman tambien BSN and Elijah Medina.

00:00:19--> 00:01:03

We praise Allah subhanho wa Taala we send blessings and salutations upon Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to bless him his entire household, all his companions and to bless every single one of us and to grant us every form of goodness, beloved brothers and sisters in Islam, whenever we have engaged in a sin, we repent to Allah subhanho wa Taala. As we say, it is a sign of human and belief when a person regrets the cyndy engaging. And Allah subhanho wa Taala has told us that there are two categories of sins, those sins that are major sins and those that are minor. The major sins are those, that Allah subhanho wa Taala has made mention of a severe

00:01:03--> 00:01:52

punishment for they are considered major and the minor sins, those sins that no severe punishment in this world and the next is made mention of but it is considered wrong, incorrect. And we do know that a person who continues engaging in minus in the collection of these minor sins becomes a major sin. May Allah subhanho wa Taala forgive us. And because these sins really bog us down in life, they bring us they make us very low, they bring us down Allah subhanho wa Taala has taught us something amazing, something amazing that if we engage in inshallah it will result in our upliftment. Do you know Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, at least a year et al hacer una de tiempo ha, if you

00:01:52--> 00:02:08

follow a bad deed, a minus one with a good deed? It automatically wipes out that minus one. Amazing and Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us something similar it's what would verse number 114. What RPM you swallow.

00:02:15--> 00:02:19

In China Do you live in a sunny

00:02:23--> 00:03:11

King and establish your prayer on both sides of the day and during a portion of the night and you should know that doing good deeds wipes out bad deeds, that is indeed a reminder for those who want to be reminded. May Allah subhanho wa Taala bless us so let's increase our good deeds. By increasing our good deeds. We won't have time for bad deeds and the bad deeds will diminish. This afternoon in Juma we spoke about pornography for example. Some people, they are outwardly good, they read Salah they engage in lots of good deeds, but they had he been bad habits. One of the ways of eradicating that bad habit or those bad habits, number one is by willpower, quit it and cut it here and now

00:03:11--> 00:03:14

that's the mercy of Allah and that is the blessing and that is the proper way of doing it.

00:03:15--> 00:03:51

But if a person is weak and finds himself going back, you know the beautification of the Union, make someone go back and make someone go back again, and they engage in Toba and then they go back, may Allah protect us and safeguard us. The way to solve that matter is to increase your good deeds. Find yourself reading Salah, engage in lots of the law of the Quran, Vicar of Allah, you know, keep yourself occupied have good company and you will not have time to engage in that type of behavior. And then after a while, if a man makes you think of it, you will automatically cut it out to say look, I've been clean for a whole year. I'm not going to go back May Allah subhanho wa Taala bless

00:03:51--> 00:04:20

us and correct us. Many people are on drugs today. When I say in many ways it is in comparison with what was the case some years back? There are a lot of people some people consider it nothing wrong. Well, I have my brothers and sisters very, very bad. Yesterday someone told me that you know what, my friends are not reading Salah. Why and they are not fasting but why are they Muslims? Yes they are. Because they say that you know we had some weed a few days ago and now for 14 days we have

00:04:22--> 00:04:59

Where did you get that from? There is nothing like that. My brothers and sisters is a person who drinks alcohol or a person has had some form of intoxicants. It does not mean they are off Salah for 40 days it means they have to fulfill that Salah but the first will be complete but they won't achieve the extra spiritual benefit that they are meant to buy that Salah This is what is meant because there are a few issues we need to know one is Salah to be fulfilled in the proper way would mean that your fraud is done and your benefit the extra benefit of that Salah is achieved. If a person has for example, done something bad and so on. They may fulfil

00:05:00--> 00:05:15

The following, like a person who doesn't concentrate at all, he fulfilled his part of his obligation is off his back but he did not achieve much more from that particular Salah, but anyone who misses a Salah he is punishable for that particular

00:05:17--> 00:05:54

sin that he has committed, it's considered a major sin. So this is why let's not become confused and think you know what, I did a bad deed yesterday. So 39 more days and I'm ticking them off. Well, that's the whole of the month of Ramadan. May Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us you have to fast and you have to fulfill your Salah May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us goodness and forgiveness. Then Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us something very important. There are so many stories mentioned in the Quran of the previous nations. Do you know why Allah makes mention of them? Many reasons. One of them is for us to take he for us to know what happened in the past. And for it to be a means of

00:05:54--> 00:06:28

our conflicts. Sometimes we go through a lot of hassle in life difficulty so many issues are attacking us from all over the show, and what happens we become slightly demoralized sometimes. So Allah says, hang on, here are the stories of the previous messengers they went through much more. And here the victory came to them. Ultimately, they were happy people. Today we are going to go through the story of the Prophet Yusuf alayhi salatu was Salam. But before we get to that, let's make mention of something very important. Verse number 120 of Surat hood, Allah says why he has sent down the stories he tells Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam

00:06:31--> 00:06:32

in

00:06:35--> 00:07:09

a man with a b2b for that. And every time we relate the story to you of the previous people, in that story there is that which would make your heart very firm, it would make you solid Subhanallah it would strengthen your resolve this is what would happen. So this is why these stories have been related to Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam primarily and to us all as a result of being the oma of this blessing creature of Allah subhanho wa Taala the best of creation summon Allahu alayhi wa sallam.

00:07:10--> 00:07:18

And Allah says at the end of surah Yusuf, in verse number 111, he makes mention of something similar, he says, naka de Cana

00:07:22--> 00:08:04

Makana ha da, da da, indeed, in the stories of these messengers are lessons for those with sound intellect, you have a brain, there are lessons for you in history, you know, little children, you tell them Would you like to learn by way of example, Subhan Allah, if you want to learn by being told, Mashallah look at what has happened to others, listen to your parents, they have the experience, they will tell you don't do this, if you do this, that is that is what will happen. But sometimes the kids of today, they tell you know, I want to try it myself. I want to do it myself, the fingers going to go in the blood. And I will try and see what happens. Now, why not do that to

00:08:04--> 00:08:42

us? Well, I read his foolish behavior. So you either learn the easy way, or you learn the hard way. One of the easiest ways of learning for us is to go back to the stories of the previous nations and look at why they were destroyed. They did not have peace because they disobeyed the instruction of the messengers. And they did not have peace because they abandon the law and his messengers, and they abandoned the message. And whatever they did resulted in the snatching away of their peace, which would mean if I want peace, the easy way is to look at what happened to them and stay away from it luck, but imagine someone does something and they get 20 years in jail, and you follow Him

00:08:42--> 00:08:46

and do exactly the same thing. You'd be foolish to think you're going to get 19 years in jail.

00:08:47--> 00:09:02

Love about Allah subhanho wa Taala bless us and strengthen us. So Allah says, These are not just stories that are fabricated, not at all. Now comes the best story in the Quran. Allah says nothing nanako soy

00:09:04--> 00:09:46

sauce we have related to you all Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam the best of stories, brothers and sisters, I invite you to go out and read the story of the Prophet Joseph, may peace be upon your use of any Salah. Not only will you enjoy the story, and not only will you cry when you hear what has happened, but it is full of lessons and do you know what it has to apply in our lives. Whether we like it or not, we will extract at least a point or two that will definitely mean something directly in our lives. This is why Allah has made mention of these stories. So let's go through just some of them bearing in mind that the theme this year is pearls of peace. Point number one, through

00:09:46--> 00:10:00

jealousy, you will never achieve peace. The brothers of the Prophet Yusuf Alayhi Salam are very jealous, they became jealous, and his father told him when he related a good dream. His father knew that you know, shavon can creep in the sun.

00:10:00--> 00:10:38

Definitely because we're going to repeat this just now, Shaffer can creep in, and therefore don't relate this dream to your brothers, they might become jealous. This shows us that sometimes certain things you don't have to relate to everyone. Wait until Allah subhanho wa Taala has decided and does something some had a lot to you that now you've achieved it completely. And when you make mention of it, not in a bragging way. Imagine someone comes up and says, I'm a millionaire. I'm the richest guy. I'm the owner of everybody see these guys here? They all under me see my thumb. Everyone is under that type of arrogance. Voila, it results in the downfall of a person. But there are people

00:10:38--> 00:10:47

who say these words do you know that there are people who've got so much wealth and authority that they feel that they are really in charge of the breeding of me and you

00:10:48--> 00:11:23

know, Allah protect us. This type of attitude is wrong when Allah has blessed you with a lot. You don't need to brag about it. You don't need to now walk, be humble. Yes, you might want to make mention or you might want to live Mashallah good life, you might have the best vehicle the best home that does not make you arrogant. arrogance is when you start despising people and rejecting the truth that is arrogance. But when a person is humbled, even if they have the best of everything, Mashallah and they've got 20 maids working for them and no matter how many 1000s of people under their authority, but they are humble and down to earth, that is the person may Allah subhanho wa

00:11:23--> 00:11:42

Taala, grant us humility, humbleness. So Allah subhanho wa Taala says, verse number five of sola Yusuf Kala Guna, Yala, taco, Samia Kala motyka ki doula Canada, oh, my son, don't relate this dream to your brothers because they might plot against you.

00:11:43--> 00:12:20

They might plot against you, which means Imagine if you tell someone something and they understand that this means in the future, this man might grow far beyond me. They block you from there. It happens amongst us when there's a young businessman, and he is still coming up in his few first few years, and he's in the business similar to another businessman who happens to be huge. What happens she comes to us and makes us think, why must he have a successful business? I can block him. So we found his supply and we said, You know what? I don't want you to supply that man. But he's your Muslim brother. Do you think sustenance is in your hands? My brother? Allahu Akbar. Allah I cried

00:12:20--> 00:12:39

one day when I was a student in Medina Manoa and we happen to sit around some of the people who had a few stores, and one of the brothers someone came in wanted to buy a cloak from him. And he had the cloak and he said, Look, this is the price and so on. And when the deal was about to be struck, he said, and I was witness to this. He said, You know what?

00:12:40--> 00:12:50

The brother outside there has a shop similar to mine. No one has been to his shop today. He's got exactly the same stock, I'm sure he'll give you the same price. Please go there, so at least he can have a bit of sustenance.

00:12:52--> 00:13:31

While I was drawn to tears today, when a man opens a similar shop like ours across the road, we don't even want it to happen. And we don't know it's actually a blessing in disguise. It's a blessing for us because people may go to his place. And if they don't find something, they will come to ours. Subhana Allah, but may Allah subhanahu wa taala protect us remember one thing, how much money are you going to use in this world? How much you have 30 million Mashallah 50 million 100 million, how much will allow you the bulk of it is going to stay better have the beautiful trade, the beautiful, you know, dealings that you have the upright ethics of trade that you would have, and

00:13:31--> 00:14:06

you go down in history as a man who helped everyone and the man who really assisted everyone come on their feet, rather than be a person who's standing up and don't want to sit and the only one who must that you want money through me or no one else. This is the attitude of the tyrants. This is the attitude of those who ultimately earn the rock of Allah subhanho wa Taala when we want something and everything must be for myself, brother, you've already got 2 billion you are one of the richest people in Africa allow the others to earn as well come on. It's not going to go away from you let the supplier supply them as well and let them give them a similar discount. May Allah subhanho wa

00:14:06--> 00:14:34

Taala grant us all goodness and love for the sake of Allah. May we help one another become wealthy? May we help one another stand on our feet. And may we never become upset when a small businessman with a tuck shop around the corner has opened a tack shop and he's selling little pinnacles and perhaps he's selling a few cokes and something else on the side and we with a huge place become jealous of him block him and closing down. May Allah protect us from that type of behavior.

00:14:35--> 00:15:00

So this is why Allah subhanho wa Taala says, This is why Allah subhanho wa Taala says very clearly in this particular verse, that the father tells his son you know what your brother's my plan your downfall brothers. May Allah subhanho wa Taala not make us of those. So that is the issue with jealousy. I have learned something and I'm going to share it with you regarding jealousy. You know when someone has something and we become jealous of them. We don't really

00:15:00--> 00:15:38

realize we actually have certain things they don't have, because of us drowning in the fact that wow, this man or This woman has got this. So these people have got that we are drowning in a certain issue. We don't realize things we have that they don't have. Like, for example, some people have this is just an example off the cuff and it's something relating to our lives. Say for example, you've got a beautiful Golf GTI Mashallah fast car. Mashallah, but it's only got four seats in it, five people can fit, and Mashallah, I might have a seven seater, but it may not be that fast. So I've got something you don't have, and you've got something I don't have. You understand. You might

00:15:38--> 00:16:20

have, for example, a huge, beautiful, Mercedes Benz and hamdulillah. And I might have a Toyota Alhamdulillah. But I don't realize and you don't realize that you pay so much to service it and you pay so much for the fuel, that Subhan Allah, my whole car in the month and in the year, what you spend in the week is what I spend to service the car for the whole year, and the petrol as well. So I've got such a great gift of a lot, but I'm still upset. I just got this Toyota, you haven't given me money to buy that car, you don't realize, if he knocks this car because it's a Mercedes, you repair it with such money that you could buy three to notice with its reality. I'm talking proper,

00:16:20--> 00:16:44

voila, you know what I'm saying? This. So this is why someone, for example, might have beautiful rooms, you look at them and you get jealous. And you've got some had a lot of high profile tires with a small 14 inch drill. And you know what happens? You look at it and you say I don't have this next thing, you hit a big pothole Subhanallah and then you don't understand the law protected you because had you hit it with that? They call it you buckle that rim.

00:16:45--> 00:17:02

Now Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us and grant us goodness, this is what's going on. So don't become jealous. They have something, tell yourself you're not grant me that And grant them increases. Well, I'd like to have that but whatever is best to give it to me, this is good for me. You know, some people they're upset. They say, you know, my wife is out of shape.

00:17:04--> 00:17:42

It's a question. It's something people say, Well, I say you know, I'm getting fed up, but they don't realize the other man is saying you know what, my wife is in proper shape, but she is so difficult to get along with. So now what do you want? What is jealous of something the other one is jealous of the other bottom line, be happy with what you have. I love a kebab. Look at it. When you become jealous of people, he doesn't stop and you don't realize jealousy blinds you from the gift you have, you might be a person who's a bit overweight, but you might have beautiful qualities in you that that person who is really prim and proper does not have so thank Allah I've given you so many

00:17:42--> 00:17:47

examples, Mashallah. I can even give you the example of the iPhone and Samsung, but inshallah we'll leave that for

00:17:50--> 00:18:36

Allahu Akbar, Allah subhanho wa Taala makes mentioned in verse number 23, of sort of use of of something very, very, very, very powerful. You know, when sin is so easily committable when a person can commit a sin so easily and he stays away for the sake of Allah, Allah grants him elevation in status. Look at use of Allah is Allah. A beautiful woman is calling him to commit the sin. A beautiful woman, good looking very wealthy. The prophecy is there. There is nothing stopping them besides Allah. And you know what? The Quran makes mention of it in clear characters, verse number 23. What are the tonality who have a beta and I've seen waka Latina, Baba Baba tala hydrolock, the

00:18:36--> 00:19:03

woman in whose house he was in, seduced, tried to seduce him, she closed the doors and said, Come here you imagine, you know what he says, my IRA law I seek the protection of a law. What the statement, what a statement. Imagine sin, that nobody has been a barrier between besides Allah And this man says, I feel that Allah who is watching.

00:19:04--> 00:19:45

This is why one of the categories of people who will be shaded on the day of the AMA, He who is invited or she who is invited to commit a sin, with everything facilitated including the privacy, the doors are closed, nobody's going to see that you know, you don't need to worry about CCTV and so on nothing, everything done. And still you say No way. Something that is far more serious than a camera that might be hidden in this room is Allah who definitely we cannot hide from. May Allah subhanho wa Taala bless us. This is a gem that we learned from so I use the reason why I say this. Those who abstain from immortality, they need a far happier life, far happier life. What's the

00:19:45--> 00:19:48

point? Subhanallah you know, I had an uncle. He was about 85 years old.

00:19:50--> 00:19:59

When I say uncle, I'm talking of uncle in Islam. And Subhan Allah He told me, son, I want to tell you one thing, one thing, you know when I was young, I send a lot he says

00:20:01--> 00:20:38

I must admit this he was telling me obviously, because he wanted me to relate it. He says, I must tell you, I will regret every single sin. And he says, you know, there were two women in my life, both of them passed away before me. And they both became old and frail. And he says, Do you know what had happened? We regretted it so badly because we all became old and we now preparing to meet with Allah and we thinking to ourselves, 30 years down the line, this is what we did. 30 years back, this is what we did. What did you achieve? Think before you do anything, that when I'm 80 years old, when I can barely walk, then I'm going to think about what I did in the past, it will not have been

00:20:38--> 00:21:16

worth it at all. Just leave your happy life. Close your eyes on what you have and will lie you'll be a much happier person than he who looks at every rose in the garden and once if brothers, there are others who own those roses, may Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us you have your big life we say you have your pig and somehow like keep it and keep on smelling it and choose Allah that smell will increase. If you know how to look after the rose by the will of Allah you're lucky you might have to know Allah subhanho wa Taala kindness goodness me he opened our doors really And may Allah subhanho wa Taala. Grant us sincerity and straightforwardness. Remember, when people want to engage in

00:21:16--> 00:21:49

morality and adultery and flirting and affairs, it comes to haunt you because your life has no meaning it's void of peace. There is no peace in your life. You worried who's gonna see my phone who's gonna see me going who's behind my back who's here, need a clean life. You're a peaceful person, the world can look at your phone, they can see where you're going, they can trace you, they can track you, they can bug you, no matter what they do, they can film you. They'll never get anything out of it. That is bad. Why? You've got a clean life. You're a happy person peaceful, you go to work, you come back you have your children, you spend so much time with them. And you think

00:21:49--> 00:21:52

Allah subhanho wa Taala Yeah, Allah grant us goodness.

00:21:53--> 00:22:24

Then look at use of Allah salam, he was thrown into the jail. The point I want to raise today is the peace that he had in the jail. He was there for seven years according to some narrations seven whole years for nothing. Just because he did not want to engage in a crime, he could have engaged in it and said, I'm out of jail. But that might have resulted in a follow up and another one and another whatever it might have happened there. He might have been blackmailed into continuing in that particular sin. But he says yeah, Allah or BCG No. Lie me.

00:22:25--> 00:22:34

Nanny LA, Oh Allah, to be jailed is more beloved to me, than to engage in a sin against you.

00:22:36--> 00:23:11

Look at the peace in his heart. He was jailed. He was a happy man in jail. He sees the opportunity to talk to the people that you know some people accepted the message. Some people did not accept the message he related to people he spoke to them and so on. He told them remember when you when you leave and whatever has happened has happened. And amazingly, he made this job that is found verse number 33 of surah Yusuf the one we just read now, may Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us goodness, imagine if we are jailed, may Allah never do that to us, who would be cool and easy, peaceful and sitting there remembering Allah thanking Allah telling Allah Allah ultimately we're going to go back

00:23:11--> 00:23:11

to you.

00:23:12--> 00:23:20

It's not easy. It requires a heart, a heart of gold for that to happen. May Allah subhanho wa Taala, grant us goodness.

00:23:21--> 00:23:37

Then look at the Father, the father lost his son, and another son. And the third one decided to stay away. As you know the story, we're not going to go into the details. We're only looking at some of the lessons that we derive. And the father says ultimately, in

00:23:39--> 00:23:43

a school, but he was me. He

00:23:46--> 00:23:58

was number 86. He says, I complain about this difficulty that I am going through and my sadness solely to Allah. He is the one who will resolve it for me.

00:23:59--> 00:24:34

The father has also come Yes, he cried. He shed some tears. It affected him but his heart was at peace. He knew that Allah will sort something out here. He knew it. And he continued making do out. Do you know for how many years according to some narrations for 40 years 40 years is trying to Eliana my son that I lost in childhood Yala. We don't know where he is. Yeah, we'll send him back to me Allah the other son, he's there. Send him back to me. Yeah, Allah and he's asking Allah for 40 years, do we have patience? We make dua for four seconds and we say it hasn't come. It hasn't come and you're not even a prophet, nor am I.

00:24:35--> 00:24:59

What my four minutes we cry to Allah four minutes before. And you say Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah Subhana Allah, our lives are so far away from Allah subhanho wa Taala. And we want to response these are the prophets of Allah. They cried for 40 years till they turned blind. Then the response came. Look at how peaceful they were. They were a peace because they knew ultimately we're going to return to Allah. Now, let's look at

00:25:01--> 00:25:04

The final two or three points from this particular sort of sort of use of

00:25:05--> 00:25:10

the day that everything became apparent, and the day that the brothers were exposed.

00:25:12--> 00:26:01

What happened to us, he was a deployment in our worlds, far beyond, obviously, but the diplomacy, the maturity, the love, the affection, considering a man whose life was in our terms, according to us, would be termed missed from the beginning. As a child, he was thrown into a well, and he did not see his mother nor his father, he was taken out and sold as a slave. After that he was they tried their tricks, they wanted to abuse him sexually, and thereafter he was jailed. And now come out of the jail. And Allah subhanho wa Taala, blessed him and so on. We should be all knowing the story. And look at how positive he was. He had no bitterness in him. This is what we try to raise. When you

00:26:01--> 00:26:20

have bitterness in your heart. Then you lose peace, you lose sleep, your health starts deteriorating everything goes wrong. Why? You have bitterness this man had worse than anything that could have happened to me or you done to him. He had no bitterness nothing at all so much so that the day everything was exposed. He looks at his brother's face number 92.

00:26:23--> 00:26:24

Young

00:26:27--> 00:26:45

me Oh, my brother's no retribution against you today. No blame upon you. I don't want to know what happened forgiven, forgotten God and complete. Don't even tell me about it. I will I will forgive you. He is the Most Merciful of all those who can have mercy.

00:26:47--> 00:27:31

Did you say right? That's my brother. These guys kicked me out today. I'm a big minister. I'm a big King here in Egypt. I'm gonna fix them. We will do that. Do you know that? Wally, we would. That's why we don't have peace. That's why because we Allah gave us success through someone trying to create or trying to cause our downfall. But we don't see the bigger picture. So look at Yusuf alayhi salam, he saw the bigger picture, he realized that this was the plan of Allah, my brother's active because che pan put them between myself and themselves. A fan came between us and then they acted against me, but all they did resulted in who I am today. So why was the blender had they not done it

00:27:31--> 00:27:49

today? I wouldn't be where I am. SubhanAllah sometimes people plan your downfall. And because of that, you excel on a global level and you become a food businessman, you would be silly to go back to the original person whose action resulted in your success and go and fix him up.

00:27:50--> 00:28:15

Why have a big heart listen to what happened? So he forgave them. He did not want to hear what happened. And at the same time when his father and everyone came, you know what he says verse number 100, will bring tears to your eyes. He refused to speak about anything negative that happened in the past. He put it so beautifully to his father, his mother and his brothers. He says, Allah has been very kind to me.

00:28:16--> 00:28:47

sinabi rajani Meena sesion Allah was so kind to me that he removed me from the jail. Look at the point he's raising, he's talking of how Allah was so kind to him. Allah remove me from the jail if he wanted, he could have said I'm bitter. I've got issues you know, nowadays we send our children to psychologists where the small little thing the child has a nightmare psychologist Mashallah with all due respect to the psychologist they're doing a good job Mashallah. I don't want to be Nadia myself.

00:28:49--> 00:29:22

But at the same time, Subhanallah every small little thing we run here, we don't need a therapist for this and that for that one line. You know what the problem with us is, we are far from the teachings of Islam. We haven't taught our children neither of these stories know what the Quran says. And that is why we find everyone suffering we need to know the children of today. So Kerala, they have so much yet they are suffering mentally, emotionally, and in so many other ways. Even physically, they have so much in terms of food and drink, but they have so many problems. May Allah grant us goodness and peace and kill us in every single way. Look at this man. He says Allah has

00:29:22--> 00:29:25

blessed me by removing me from the jail.

00:29:29--> 00:29:59

And all my father, my mother, my brother's Allah has blessed me by bringing you from the desert right to where I am, Allahu Akbar. He didn't say you guys did this 40 years I lost our emotional mental condition. I'm not going to forgive our issues, no issues nothing. peace, tranquility in his heart. He says Allah blessed me by by bringing you to me. Look at how much Allah has blessed me. Look at positives my brothers, my brothers and sisters. Look at the positives in your life. You

00:30:00--> 00:30:02

Become a happy person. So then he says,

00:30:04--> 00:30:05

me back at

00:30:09--> 00:30:27

a party, all this had happened, Allah blessed me after shavon came between myself and my brothers. Who did he blame? Chopin? Do you know to be honest with you to sort our problems out? Allah has given us an easy way. What's the easy way? Blame, shame,

00:30:29--> 00:31:05

blame shame and he's there to blame. So when you've done something wrong, really to your brother or your sister in Islam, you know it, some people would go and say, You know what, I'm wrong and so on and so forth. Yes, it's correct. They might think love you. But if you want them to still respect you tell them you know, what she found over took me blame a foreigner. You know what, let's not let a man come between us because it is true. It is shaped and that leads us astray. Otherwise, like I always say, people are good. Shaytan is bad. So when you hate people, to be honest with you, you meant to be hating sapin. And the habits that shape and tries to inculcate within the people. Now

00:31:05--> 00:31:45

Allah subhanho wa Taala does goodness, look at how positive the Prophet uses Joseph May peace be upon him was Do you know what he says? After that he makes a draw. He had no bitterness, no bitterness whatsoever. 40 years later, he embraced his brothers and really it was like nothing had happened. That's why he was in so much peace. That's why he had so much goodness, he was elevated by Allah. He was granted so much he was given Well, he was given authority. He was given Prophethood and he was far more good looking than de de de la la cama. I see you people are not hooked on to online, Masha Allah DDG would mean drop dead gorgeous.

00:31:47--> 00:31:55

Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us, you know, use of Allah is Allah was so good looking that the women cut their hands looking at him.

00:31:56--> 00:32:28

They cut their hands and they had an apple, Allah who is mentioned in the Quran, so he was a prophet. Yes. mention it. Now Allah subhanho wa Taala goddess goodness, we have been granted new compared to him, but we still think we are a big deal. A lot of work but we don't have that much money. We don't have that much authority. We don't have that much knowledge. We will never have profited anyway and our looks mediocre. Alhamdulillah thank Allah. And then we still think we have a big deal moving around. Look at what he says. He says, Robbie, oh my god, I'm calling out to you.

00:32:30--> 00:32:38

You have given me everything you have given me Well, you have given me Power Authority on land and how it started

00:32:44--> 00:32:45

llanthony

00:32:47--> 00:32:58

ad you taught me how to interpret dreams and how to look deep into speech Allahu Akbar, the BS that people have, he could interpret them by the will of Allah subhanho wa Taala he says

00:33:00--> 00:33:03

00:33:05--> 00:33:12

in this world and in the next hour funny muslima cause me to die as a submitter as a Muslim. Hippo need is solid

00:33:23--> 00:34:04

and resurrect me join me with the righteous. This is the daughter of one of the most blessed people. He was a prophet, a son of a prophet, a son of a prophet, a son of a prophet. What more do you want to look at what type of blessings Allah had granted him? This is use of Allah is Salatu was Salam May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us goodness this man had absolutely no bitterness he was such a powerful person and he led a life that Allah subhanho wa Taala has encapsulated in one surah if only we looked at it and we learned a lesson from it well, we are mere nobodies and still we are suffering much more because we are not prepared to learn lessons even from this one. Surah go out

00:34:04--> 00:34:30
