			Salam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:11
			Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim al hamdu Lillah wa Salatu was Salam ala rasulillah Allah Allah He was
happy here to mine.
		
00:00:12 --> 00:01:05
			My beloved brothers and sisters. This evening we read a verse right at the beginning of the tarawih
which is probably the essence of our entire existence. Allah subhanho wa Taala says right at the
beginning of Surah 12 milk and loving Hala Khan Mota one hi attorney Abu Welcome to San Juan Mala.
It is he who created death and life in order to test you. So what is the test? Who has better deeds?
That's what Allah says, or you can ascend or Hamelin, who from amongst you has better deeds. So it
is never about quantity, it is always about quality. The only time that quantity has a significance
is when Allah has made it compulsory.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:55
			For example, my five daily prayers has to be five, the way it is fulfilled has to be in a certain
way. But beyond that, everything is about quality and never about quantity. So this is why the
Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam tells us highroller family, according to one of the narrations,
the best of deeds, what do you think the best deeds are? Ma de ma alayhi wa you will call that which
is done regularly, even if it is a little, because man's body is such that it is more complex than
any computer system. If you were to regularize it and train it to do something will lie IE it will
not let you down by the help of Allah. If you train your body to get up at the time of fudger I
		
00:01:55 --> 00:02:15
			swear by the one who raised the skies without pillars, two minutes before the alarm you I will open
you won't need that alarm, you will be awake because you train yourself. And this is why when you
train yourself for a period of time to do something, you will achieve it be it quitting a sin or
fulfilling a duty or doing something good.
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:26
			If a person has a bad habit, and many people have bad habits, we are human after all. What you need
to realize is if you can can continue
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:34
			to protect yourself from that bad habit. A day will come when Subhanallah you won't even think about
it.
		
00:02:35 --> 00:03:13
			Because 40 days have passed. You didn't touch the cigarette, right? Four months have passed. You
didn't touch the secret. I'm giving you a simple example. I see some of the brothers smirking at me
like we're going to touch on as soon as we get out of here. May Allah grant us protection but you
know what I mean? any bad habit. And there are so many bad habits more and more that are coming into
play today. Just a waste of time is a bad habit. Did you know The prophets Allah Salam says and it's
a narration we should constantly think about near mahtani Mark Boone v mark a theorem in a nurse.
There are two qualities, two things two gifts of Allah that many people are deceived about, they
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:51
			don't take it seriously. They take it for granted. What are those two, or say hetal will follow your
good health and your spare time. A day will come when you won't have the time anymore, and the day
may come when you're not as healthy as you were. So pray and fulfill your Salah while you're healthy
so you can make your Roku you can make your sujood and so on. May Allah subhanho wa Taala accepted
from us. Enjoy the prayer. Enjoy the Salah. here Allah is saying quality over quantity right? When
you come for Salah my brothers and sisters, do we need it? Or does Allah need it? Just ask yourself
that question.
		
00:03:52 --> 00:04:40
			Do you know why Allah makes certain things compulsory? Have you ever thought about it? Why is it
that Salah is compulsory? Why is it that zeca a certain percentage is compulsory. Why is it that
Hajj for those who are able and capable is compulsory. Why is fasting compulsory? Have you thought
about it? It is replied to in the Hadith could see where Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us there is
nothing more beloved to me than what I have made compulsory. Subhan Allah if Allah made something a
compulsory duty on you and I it means he loves that thing. So please enjoy it. Please enjoy it. It's
your your Lord, the owner of your sustenance, the owner of cure. The owner of mercy, the owner of
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:59
			everything the owner of the asherah, the owner of everything in existence of Angela, you walk into
this beautiful Masjid Do you know what it's called? Masjid Sirocco Jana. When they first named it I
thought to myself, it's a bit of a long name. But then when I started thinking of its meaning I said
it is indeed a path way to Jana is through
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:00
			The Masjid
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:29
			a pathway to Geneva is through the masjid what is set up? It is a path of what of Jannah you want
Jenna find yourself in the masjid is in the houses of Allah subhanho wa Taala my brothers, my
sisters, we need to realize Salah is a gift for us Allah doesn't need it but Allah loves it. So he
wants to see Do you really love him? Him Who gave you the life him who gave you your identity and

			Allah kaduk amazing versus declaring the greatness of Allah He created you he fashioned you, he made
you He gave you He gave you your identity. So what that means he actually gave you that identity you
have biometrics and whatever else it may be. Did you know no two people have the same fingerprint
ever. From the beginning. Adam alayhis salam to the last one in existence. Not only that I've
learned of something else. No two people have the same Iris print. From the beginning to the end.
Not only that, if you were to shave your head, this is something funny. If you were to shave your
head, there is a little design upon which your hairs grow. No two people have the same. Just like no
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:39
			giraffe, no leopard, no Cheetah, no zebra has the same design or Mark from the beginning to the end.
Hi. Hello, cola. Rooney cola
		
00:06:41 --> 00:07:00
			dooney. This is the creation of Allah. Show me what the others have created. That's what Allah is
saying. What have we made? We've given every creature its unique identity. Allahu Akbar. That is my
Rob. I'm going to go back to him. It's not just coincidence.
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:16
			The love I'm supposed to have in my heart for that maker. He loves me so much that He gives me
Ramadan. Ramadan is a gift of Allah Salah is a gift of Allah, a Banda is a gift of Allah, Allah once
it for you
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:22
			to attain genital Fidel's to achieve attain forgiveness. Do you know what Allah says in the Quran?
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:26
			Allah who you read or IE
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:29
			why you read
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:32
			it
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:57
			to me know my Elena Lima. Allah's intention is to forgive you, Allah once to forgive you. That's
what Allah says in the Quran. But those who follow their lusts and desires want to be or want to
turn completely want to turn you Who is that shaitaan shaitaan wants to turn you away. So what does
Allah say? Allah says, If shapen had trapped you for 70 years,
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:00
			and you uttered one word
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:05
			of repentance, Allah wipes out the 70 years.
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:53
			And Allah's mercy doesn't stop there. Allah says if you did 70 years of ibadah, and you uttered one
word of evil, we will not wipe out the 70 years of a bad we will wait. Did you ever know my brothers
and sisters? The prophets are seldom tells us when a person sins, the angels are told to hold the
pen for a moment. Perhaps he might repent, perhaps she might repent. Did you know that your sin is
not written instantly? But your good deed is written instantly. Your good deed is written with your
intention. The Hadith of the prophets of Salaam whoever intends to do good man Hammurabi, Hassan 18,
follow me of Allah, whoever plans or intends to do a good deed but did not end up doing it. Could he
		
00:08:53 --> 00:09:25
			Butler who has Santa it will be written for him as a good deed. That's the mercy of Allah. I plan to
give you a million bucks I didn't. Are you gonna write the million in your account? Never we are
human beings. We're going to say you're going to give it to me or you're in trouble. Right? with
Allah. Allah says you planned to do something good. You never managed to do it for some valid
reason. No problem. We wrote it for you. Luck. But then guess what? The same. Allah is telling us
through the blessing lips of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam that when you plan to do bad,
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:27
			it's not yet written.
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:29
			Angels are holy.
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:36
			When you plan to do bad and you don't do it, a good deed is written for you. Did you know that
		
00:09:37 --> 00:10:00
			one youngster when he heard me say that? He said I'm gonna plan a lot of bad things. I said, No, no,
no, no, because the Hadith says when you plan a good thing, you are rewarded by the plan. When you
execute the good thing. It's multiplied 10 times 70 times 700 times based on your intention and
several other factors. Allah multiplies it. But when you plan a bad deed and you don't do it, it's
written
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:04
			Good Deed because you didn't do it for the sake of Allah. What's stopping you from Xena?
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:13
			If it is the fear of Allah and the consciousness of Allah. Surely that is called taqwa,
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:44
			Raja Lune. That who Emerton that woman Sabine wa Jamal facula. In a careful law, one of the VIPs on
the Day of Judgment is a man who was called by the opposite * or a woman. It's correct for both
sides, who was called by the opposite * to commit the sin of adultery, and everything was
facilitated, and they were good looking people on both sides. And it was so so doable. But they just
said, I fear Allah and walked away. Allah says, You're a VIP Day of Judgment come
		
00:10:45 --> 00:11:28
			Subhan Allah, so someone who planned a sin, who almost committed it, but held back Allah says, You
know what, why did you hold back for me? I will reward you for that. Something big. My brothers and
sisters stay away from sin. For the sake of Allah, anyone can do it. Anyone can do anything.
Possibility it's possible but for a moment, no chance May Allah forgive us, may Allah strengthen us.
That's why we need to make the DA powerful to Allah hum mcqueeney behala leka anharmonic was nini
before delete common see work? Continue making that Do you know what it means? Oh Allah grant me
sufficiency in halaal. So that I don't commit haram
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:50
			make me happy with what you've given me in terms of holid so that I never inclined towards that
which is wrong. And Allah make me independent through your virtue in terms of sustenance, so that I
don't depend on anybody else. You don't have to go around begging people. You don't have to go
around being a slave of someone just because they gave you 100 bucks.
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:53
			What has Allah given you?
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:59
			Your entire existence is given to you by Allah, let's become a slave of Allah.
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:43
			So Allah gives us a gift gift from avant, take it as a gift, your Salah you fulfilled today. Don't
ever be in a rush. One thing that impresses me a lot. Those of you who are my age, perhaps a bit
older, you might have realized over the years that the quality of tarawih is improving. Have you
noticed this? The quality of recitation is becoming better, it's becoming a little bit slower, and
it's becoming clearer and the How far are reading more correct and more melodious? Well, llahi, it's
something I've learned and noticed, and one of the reasons why I simply cannot rush it, because I
want to tell you the truth. It's good to read.
		
00:12:44 --> 00:13:09
			Bearing in mind the old people behind you, that is a fact. But that doesn't mean you compromise the
word of Allah. You don't. The reason I say it is there is a hadith we talk of the day of piano. And
we spoke about it this evening. We mentioned it a little bit earlier, where the prophets are seldom
says you call Julio sahibi or Ani it will be said to a person who is holding within him the Quran.
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:34
			Now, the Lama generally speak of a half is that a half it will be said to him, but when you look at
the meanings of that Hadith, it's anyone who's memorized any portion of the Quran, and I'm sure all
of us here have memorized a lot of Fatiha all of us here have memorized some form of surah. So
inshallah it will be the case with all of us. You can only sahibi on a person of the Quran will be
told on the Day of Judgment, read,
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:41
			worth it, and keep climbing, keep ascending, read and ascend, ascend to work level
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:49
			working till recite in a beautiful melodious way. Karma contadora dunya
		
00:13:50 --> 00:14:23
			how you used to read in the dunya? That's how you read today. Let's see. So you won't be able to
read in another way. If you were rushing from pillar to post and huffing and puffing? What
embarrassment will that be in front of Allah? Allah says, read how you used to read in the dunya
what till contadora dunya. Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, don't ever worry about what
people are going to say Subhan Allah, because it's about what Allah has to say.
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:53
			Read in a beautiful way, my brothers and my sisters, when you're alone at home, take your time to
make a melody out of your recitation for Allah. It's not important to rush and finish as much as it
is important to read correctly and then finish. You find the point. If you have past Ramadan, and
you read as best as you could and you struggled a little bit and you were a bit slow and you didn't
manage to complete the item no problem you can finish it before or after no problem
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:57
			if you have Mashallah, it's a bonus.
		
00:14:59 --> 00:14:59
			That's why the Hadith
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:07
			Where the professor seldom says Alma hero bill Cohen, the one who is a pro at the Quran or he has a
very high level
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:14
			must suffer till Kira mille Bharara, you know, he has a very high level with those who are tough.
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:28
			But as for the one who reads the Quran, and he's slow and he stammers, and he stops and he goes back
stammer is actually the wrong word. Because normally when you read the Quran, even if you have a
stutter, or on your own stutter,
		
00:15:29 --> 00:16:00
			ask those who have a little stuttering illness. May Allah grant us all cure. Come and read Surah
Fatiha for us they will never start in that surah Why? It's the key to everything. Al Fatiha the
opening, it opens up everything. May Allah grant us goodness. So that person who's struggling with
the recitation of the Quran, what happens Lahu agilon he has a double reward why want to reward for
the Quran is reading and due for the struggle and the effort that he's putting. It's a great thing
Subhan Allah.
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:34
			So these are the gifts of Allah consider them a gift when we fulfill Salah. Let's ask ourselves, Do
I really look at this Salah as a true gift of Allah, I come I make my will do as a pleasure with a
smile and I call Allah Akbar Allah is the Greatest and I'm starting my salah and I'm taking my time
and I go into sujood instead of Subhana Allah thrice, I'll just say two more times because I just
love Allah, it's the quality not the quantity Subhana Allah, the quality of my Salah
		
00:16:36 --> 00:17:02
			inshallah, we promise that we will improve on our Salah, and even our Zakah when we give, give with
a lot of sincerity respecting the people you are going to give. You know why? Well law he the Hadith
says the prophecies of the end of time that a time will come when they will be nobody that you can
give your cat to the way cryptocurrency is going, I can see that coming.
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:07
			I don't think that impressed you.
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:22
			But to be honest with you, yes, I'm not promoting or demoting. I'm telling you people are becoming
so wealthy. You can't believe it again. Some of them say, Gee, I can't wait for that day. You know,
I can't wait for it when you see that present, relax. It's not such a good sign.
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:26
			Because imagine you go with you as a cat to someone thinking and he says
		
00:17:27 --> 00:18:03
			I'm probably worth more than human. Then what then what? It's an insult. Sometimes they are wealthy
from amongst us. You don't know you just sitting the uncle is sitting quietly in one corner the way
he dresses and so on. You may not tell because some people are humble. Some people are stingy to me,
Allah grant us is one day there was a man who walked into the masjid the process. Allah knew he was
wealthy. He had tatty clothing. The process Adam says What do you have in terms of wealth? He says
oh, I've got poultry. I've got quite a few a bit of livestock and so on. He said livestock so the
process ellipses go back and dress properly with proper clothing because Leah hora asagna mattala
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:19
			Holic let the gift of Allah that Allah bestowed upon you be a parent, the minute someone sees your
clothing they must know Allah bless this man. What's the problem? Today the youngsters say that
uncle's arrogant why because chick at the clothes he's wearing, look at the perfume it is not
arrogance.
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:52
			arrogance is when you despise people, it's not when you're wearing nice stuff. When you driving the
latest vehicle that's not arrogance, you can't do that. It's not a problem. It's not a problem. May
Allah subhanho wa Taala, grant us humbleness and humility. So this is something that I thought I'd
start with, speak about the gift of Allah in a bada and the fact that we are on earth in order for
Allah to test the quality of our deeds more than anything else, whether it's recitation of Quran
Yasaka, whatever else it may be, give give, you know, one thing that impresses me about zakka
		
00:18:54 --> 00:19:09
			the Hadeeth could see that Allah Almighty tells us and Vic, Adama inficon. Laika Oh son of Adam,
spend, I will spend on you. Give, then I will give you
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:24
			it's difficult because you know what, these are my last few as it is. The price is going up. The
Rand is going down. This is happening, excuses. Those are excuses. You give and watch what Allah
does. unfit the Abner Adama own.
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:30
			Complete guarantee the Quran has verses in it. Omar Toka demo
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:33
			fujikura
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:37
			de la
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:52
			jolla, we read the first tonight. Allah says whatever you have given in the course of Allah, you
will find it with Allah it will be better and multiplied completely. Allah will give you
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:59
			then my beloved brothers and my dear sisters, we need to realize that
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:26
			Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam best of creation most noble of all messengers. He came to us he
was chosen by Allah. He knew he was a newbie of Allah, a prophet of Allah. Guess what they did to
him. They started calling him names. They didn't want to listen to the message. They belied, they
denied. with arrogance, deep down, they knew he was truthful, he was honest. They belied.
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:28
			Guess what Allah says,
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:30
			ma
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:34
			taburiente, Matthew bkv imagine
		
00:20:37 --> 00:21:09
			they are calling you mad, you are not mad. There's nothing wrong with you, the gift of Allah upon
you, you are not at all meant to in any way. Now, if you sit and analyze that you will realize that
they had asked the messengers Allah seldom do you think they will not harass you and die for being
steadfast on the deen of Allah. Look today across the globe, what's happening to the Muslim mean,
simply because they are Muslim in they say la ilaha. In the law, they have good qualities. So by
habits, they have high morals and values. And that's it
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:36
			being driven out of their homes being fought against so much happening such that when we mentioned
names of places, by default, we will leave out a few not because we want to because the list is too
long. So we have to say Oh Allah help our brothers and sisters everywhere, wherever they are, you
know better than us where they are. That's what we say in the DA. But expect to be persecuted in the
name of Allah.
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:55
			Expect to be tested in your Eman at some point, because when your Eman is strong, you will be
tested. Something will happen to try and create a barrier between you and Allah don't allow it don't
allow it. We go towards Allah. That's why Allah says also another verse we read tonight.
		
00:21:56 --> 00:22:00
			First be Rana Jaco Luna, Joe
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:47
			jameelah their patients regarding what they are saying all that they are saying negative about you
and against you, they will continue it's a sign of success. Allah says, oh, Joe home. Hi, john
jameelah. Stay away from them. Ignore them in a beautiful way. You see, sometimes you have a problem
with someone, but you become bitter. When you become better. You are not beautiful about it. Be
beautiful about your difference. What is beautiful, say I have a difference with the brother. I am
come, I still greet I'm still okay. I know the problem. Or if I don't greet and I want to stay away.
I may do so without saying much negative things because I know one day they may be peace between us.
		
00:22:47 --> 00:23:29
			It's going to be too embarrassing on that day for us to come back. I must leave a window open a
little bit. And you know what? I need to realize the hearts are in the hands of Allah. My daughter
might marry his son. Then what? Then what? Subhan Allah some of you might say no way no child you
don't know what may happen. I know of someone who murdered someone. two generations down the one
grandchild or great grandchild married the other Subhana Allah through story. May Allah forgive us.
Grant has goodness. So anything can happen. Allah is telling rasulillah salam patients don't worry,
you know, when someone calls you a name? Are you that person? No, you're not. So they're talking
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:40
			about themselves or someone else. Leave it, don't let it bother you. And be happy about it. Your
life is in whose hands it's in the hands of Allah, that in their hands on my hands. So keep going.
		
00:23:42 --> 00:24:05
			And remember something Allah Almighty is watching. And Allah Almighty sees what is going on. When
someone saw you, it was written for you against them. The minute you swore back, it was one one,
this is not a football match. Subhana Allah, there's one one why he called me an idiot I called him
an idiot, and that someone might use a verse of the Quran to say, just
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:07
			say
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:16
			the recompense of an evil deed is an evil deed just like it if someone slaps you, technically you're
allowed to snap them back.
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:52
			But the reality is a true Mothman Allah says from an alpha or a Jew Allah he want to reward you want
the status with Allah just forgiving, let go carry on walking, the circle needs to close. Madden you
clap, clap your back, you clap them, clap your back, you clap them. It needs to stop somewhere.
Someone somehow needs to say okay, okay, Pescara, it's enough, right? It's gonna carry on forever
make peace. I know of problems that have happened that have continued through generations at times.
That's also a true example. Don't leave it too long. It's okay. Make this.
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:59
			So these verses that we read in taraweeh It is important for us to go
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:39
			through some of the meanings or to sit in a lesson of Tafseer to understand what is being said
because they are very, very powerful. If you take a look at the story of numerology Salaam we read
this evening will lie he there is a powerful point made mention of we all want money, we all want
sustenance, we all are, perhaps, to a certain extent struggling due to what has happened to the
economies and so on. Do you know that your repentance will sort out your financial problems? Did you
know that? Where did we learn it from the professor salah and the Quran, starting with the story of
no hallahan salaam, called to start with Europe back home in
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:42
			your scene is
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:47
			a movie
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:50
			of any wire.
		
00:25:55 --> 00:26:10
			He says I told my people seek the forgiveness of Allah, repent to Allah, He will open the skies with
beneficial rain after forgiving you and He will grant you wealth and he will grant you children and
he will grant you success in this dunya before the archaea.
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:39
			So if you want wealth, you've got to make peace with the owner of wealth. Imagine someone calls you
and tells you listen, I got a business deal here. It's gonna last five years and every month I need
so many million of stock from you. What will you do? That man is suddenly a VIP in your life because
you know what? If anything happens to him, my business is gonna go down when Corona struck before
making your home for yourself and your wife, you make him laugh for that block.
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:44
			Allah protect us because you know, the door will close.
		
00:26:46 --> 00:27:01
			Who is the owner of entire sustenance? Is it not Allah? Allah says you knocking the wrong door.
You're knocking the wrong door. Knock the right door. Don't worry. Yo mon laka
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:47
			a day will always be for you and another day against you a profit and the loss good and bad. It has
to happen in your life. Take it in your stride. You making money. A day will come when you're not
gonna make money. Allah has to test you with minus as well go to the mathematics exam. They can't
test you plus, plus plus all the time, multiply multiply, they must test you division. They must
test you subtraction and then you must you must also learn minus numbers. If I say 100 minus 1000
you got to know minus 900 What happened? That's a test Allah test you in the same way you got you
got Mashallah you got when you got you need to know what you're doing with it. Don't waste Don't be
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:51
			extravagant. Take away your gold bars for Allah by giving sadaqa
		
00:27:53 --> 00:28:31
			give sadaqa when you gave us other car, it was yours. You know, common logic. Say I have 1000
grants. I gave a charity 1000 sorry, from 1000 I gave 100 or 200. Right? That's 20% that My name is
written on it. I gave it what I kept 800 it's not yet My name is not yet within on the complete
circle, only on the first half of the circle. I earned it. I haven't yet spent it when you spend it
the circle is closed. arrive on the day of kiama this man received this man spent How did you get
how did you give I succeeded, right? But if I've only received and not spent it's half a circle
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:46
			the other half. If I were to die, it's not a minor. It's now someone else's name. And a lot of the
times the more we leave the bigger the wall between those we've left behind
		
00:28:47 --> 00:29:05
			so it's nothing grand to leave something huge for everyone sort them out if you want in their lives
and it's not wrong to leave behind things. Look at sad if not be workers for the Allah when he was
ill. He was ill he got killed but when he was sick, he says all messenger sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam.
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:07
			It seems like I'm not gonna make it.
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:15
			And I have a lot of wealth. Well, are you ready to knee in a minute and Lee? I only have one
daughter
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:33
			of Allah Azza Sadako be Molly, can I not give my wealth all of it to charity? Because I only have
one daughter. What is she going to do with all of this? The process Adam says no. He says well then
Kanter giveaway two thirds he says no. Well then can't give away half he says no.
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:43
			So can't give away a third. So the prophets of Salaam says sudo with sudo. Kathy, you can give away
a third and the third is enough. Then he says
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:56
			if you have wealth, it's better to give it to your folks. Your own water your own heirs instead of
them begging from people after you're gone. Yet you are a wealthy person, but it's very hard for
people to give.
		
00:29:58 --> 00:29:59
			You know I was reading a hadith where
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:35
			The process allowance is one of the things that will benefit you after your death is a good child of
yours who will make to offer your mother Fira, for your forgiveness. And then I learned something
very interesting. And I always say this in your life, some of your children are closer to you than
others. May Allah bless us with children and good children. Some are closer than others. Some of our
children, we have a difference with them, maybe because of the choice of a spouse, maybe because of
some misunderstanding, whatever it was, sometimes we've had people come to us, you know what, I need
to block my child from getting inheritance. What's the plan? There's no plan. What do you mean
		
00:30:35 --> 00:31:12
			there's no plan there has to be this child is like this Like this, like, you know what, when you
die, that might be the child who realizes and he might be the only one who will be making to offer
you 20 years down the line from now. The others will be enjoying the money you gave him. It's
possible. That's why be fair, nevermind, he might not have liked you in the dunya you might not have
gotten along. What if Allah says give, give it Don't worry. You never know. So my beloved brothers
and sisters, look at these verses of the Quran. Allah subhanho wa Taala you know, we could go on and
on and on with the with this just as soon as we read this evening, beautiful Allah speaks about
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:36
			Yeah, you help Muslim men. What benefit we have just from those words, are you who is enveloped in
government's number one is the gift of Allah upon Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, the fact that he
achieved Nobu. The fact that Allah chose him the fact that Allah chose his wife because remember,
the first person that he went down to from that, from that, from that cave, was his beloved wife,
Khadija, Binti Hawaii.
		
00:31:38 --> 00:32:20
			And he, he actually wanted her to comfort him. And he said to her, what happened she believed
straight away. First person that many of us, we come with a story home, the wife says, I'm doubting
this guy here. I don't know what you're saying. SubhanAllah look at the relationship. You know what
she said? Allah will never let you down color. Allah healer, your physique Allahu Abaddon, it's
possible for Allah to let you down. You're a good man. How many of us, our spouses can say a quarter
of that word. You're a good man, you fulfill the rights of people. You look after the orphans and
the widows and the neighbors and the relatives, you help the poor, you assist the needy, you help in
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:32
			good causes. You are truthful, you're honest. Those are qualities Subhanallah, who our beloved
Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam May Allah grant us his companionship in the archaea.
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:46
			So Allah says, Yeah, you and Muslim milou come in llena. Allah is telling him to stand at night in
prayer, but he was a person who already knew he was going to gentlemen, do we know we're going to
gender we just hoping
		
00:32:47 --> 00:32:53
			to you stand at night in prayer, sometimes, once a month, once a month. To recap of tahajjud.
		
00:32:55 --> 00:33:09
			Try it. Just tell yourself in your heart today, once a month, I'm going to get up to record I'm
going to do and I'll build it from there. And if you can't do the two units, I tell you what you can
do. Get up at that time and make dua start off that way.
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:43
			Your life will change. Your life will change. You become a better person you realize sin has no
place for us. You know if you want to stop sinning, people ask how can I stop I'm addicted to
*, I'm addicted to drugs, I'm addicted to gambling, I'm addicted to whatever whatever. One
of the first things you do you seek forgiveness of Allah just become regular with your Salah. That
is a starting point. Salah is the primary pillar of the deal. You uphold it automatically in salata,
tanha and in fact,
		
00:33:44 --> 00:34:22
			he will come every Friday we hear that right? In the Salah, Tottenham, he will Mancha don't we hear
it every Friday in the hotbar it means Salah itself will stop you from immorality and wrong evil
sin. Salah itself will stop you you know what you may do? Do you read fudger you're waiting for what
sinner you're gonna commit in between. You may do the whole you waiting for us. What's in you're
going to commit in between you made you're actually waiting for Maghreb, you made your mark review
Asia, after Isha, you're going to be Subhana Allah, and you will become strong with that. So start
off with your Salah, push yourself, force yourself. I started this talk by speaking about the honor
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:59
			of having Salah as a gift. And I'm ending it by saying make sure that you push yourself at the
beginning. A day will come in a short span of time and you won't need to push yourself you know why?
You will just enjoy it. It will be nature. Look at the older peoples they will sit and tell you when
I was young. Perhaps I wasn't so regular. But as I grew older, you know what you realize where am I
going to go? We are going to the mercy of Allah we have hope. We have made a lot of ibadah and we
have sought a lot of forgiveness. But remember when you die, the condition upon which you died is
very, very important. So always ask him
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:43
			For a good condition Allah him in a Luca horsnell ha tema, Oh Allah grant us good ending in a way
that we have Shahada on our tongues. Brothers and sisters a few more hours left for the month of
Ramadan. Allah might give us a gift of having a 30th date that too is a gift. Don't ever be upset
when the moon is not cited. See people cry sometimes, but I was planning I heard one lady say but I
made all my orders and I did all that is going to get stale. Look, you know what? That's not my
fault. It's Allah giving you one more day it's a gift, gift of Allah subhanho wa Taala May Allah
subhanho wa Taala grant us Rama and forgiveness. Remember the one who has fasted correctly and
		
00:35:43 --> 00:36:04
			students Allah correctly they will achieve forgiveness. You come out of Ramadan clean, don't miss
the sheet after that clean sheet. You starting with a new slate. Don't write rubbish on day because
on the day of the AMA, you're going to own book will be given to you Allah subhanho wa Taala will
say, here's your book aycock kita back, read your book
		
00:36:05 --> 00:36:16
			Kapha bien FC can Yama Allah has Eva, you are sufficient as a witness against yourself. today.
		
00:36:18 --> 00:36:50
			That's what Allah will say. We don't need witnesses. Yes, your book your deeds. Read it. You did it
yourself. Toba lemonwood de Daffy So hey, if it is still foreign kathira good news have a special
