00:00:02 --> 00:00:05
			Salam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:13
			smilla rahmanir rahim al hamdu Lillah wa Salatu was Salam ala rasulillah where Allah Allah He was
happy here Jemaine
		
00:00:15 --> 00:01:08
			we praise Allah subhanho wa Taala on a beautiful day like this The second eve of the second night of
Tara we, the second eve of the fast May Allah subhanho wa Taala accepted from us in this beautiful
Masjid masjidul for those in Paulo quani in the northern part of South Africa a day before the
elections, may Allah subhanho wa Taala. Grant us ease. My brothers and sisters, the verses that were
read this evening have several themes and topics of discussion, where Allah subhanho wa Taala is
guiding you and I, it is only through the guidance of Allah that you will achieve happiness,
contentment and success in this world and the next, if you think you know better than Allah, there
		
00:01:08 --> 00:02:02
			is no chance that you are going to succeed. Allah made us when he made us we knew nothing. When he
made us we were unable to even move much without the help of our parents or whoever else was taking
care of us. As we grew older, they came an age where we became able to do things, when we became
Able to Think well, when we became able to move properly on our own, we became known as responsible,
that age of responsibility, the age of maturity, Allah expects from you and I to now find him and
worship Him alone. You have to ask yourselves as humankind a question always, where did I come from
and the way am I going to go? If you have the proper answers of those questions, you will know what
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:40
			you need to do here. You will know what you need to do here. Your friends have passed away. There
are others who are born after you who grew more powerful than you who amassed more wealth and became
physically stronger than you. Allah knows. He has spoken about all of this. Allah made you either a
male or a female and Allah chose that for you. May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us all a deep
understanding. I promise you this is the month of the Quran. I think Allah and we should all think
Allah that He has set aside one month dedicated to the Quran. Do you dedicate it to the Quran?
		
00:02:42 --> 00:03:29
			Allah has set aside one month of the Islamic calendar for the Quran. It is known as shadow Koran. It
is a month of reflection. It is a month of introspection. It is a month of correction. It is a month
of all sorts of goodness, it is a month where we will be filled with compassion with generosity.
That is the month Why? Because we will be studying the Quran. That's what happened to Rasulullah
sallallahu sallam. The Hadith says he was very generous. His character always was shining, but more
so in the month of Oman. When jabril Allah is Salam used to come to him and they used to go through
the Quran. It had a beautiful effect, the huffard we have Mashallah they are doing a good job.
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:36
			Appreciate it. And take your time. When it comes to the masjid. There is something strange
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:41
			that happens in Ramadan. Shaytan
		
00:03:42 --> 00:04:26
			has left How many of you are on WhatsApp groups where now there is a new little WhatsApp silencing
shaytan left you might have seen that the last day or two. It's happening. It's trending globally,
right? One One is what's shaytan even in the group? The answer was yes. He was quietly there causing
all the fitna, right. But the difficulty is now that he's left there's a shaytan inside of us that
operates all the window wars that happen in nearly every machine in the world. All the light was and
the sound was and these other wars that have nothing to do with ibadah but it's got to do with your
own conflict. All those wars are you you as a shaytan not a separate shaytan from outside. Those are
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:36
			tied up but it's a shaytan inside. That's why Allah subhanho wa Taala says waka Nika Gianna,
nikolina bien
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:59
			si well Jeannie u E. Bam, boom Ella about the point I'm raising Allah says here that is how all the
prophets of Allah have had enemies from the Shia team of two kinds shaytan of mankind who is
poisonous, and shaytan of Jin kind who is also bad
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:08
			So two types of shayateen. The point I raised is, the month comes in, don't lose focus, it is a
month where you are going to be tested.
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:18
			You know, I was in a cold country where they had the windows open, and I was feeling a little bit
cold in taraweeh.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:57
			And so I told one brother, is there a reason why these windows are open? I don't like to play games
with Windows. You can have it open you can have it closed. It's only a matter of one hour. Imagine
you in your grave. Who's going to open the window when you made a noise in the masjid the house of
Allah you made such a disrespectful noise caused the war that resulted in people not coming to the
masjid. The Imam said moments ago that when the children are making a noise, yes, we want to help
them but do it in a way that doesn't chase them out of the masjid forever. So I asked this man I
said you know what is happening? He said look, have you ever thought that when it is hot, you can do
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:34
			nothing about it. But when it is cold, you can bring your jacket and your jersey Subhanallah I never
thought of that. So if you are feeling cold, it's better to be cold in the masjid where you have
some warm clothes that you have brought along than for it to be hot because of you and those who are
not used to that heat are all sweating simply because you are feeling cold. May Allah grant us ease.
I hope you are listening to the logic here. It is a very, very logical matter from that day. I
always try and tell people open the windows. We have this feeling called bring your jacket bring
your jersey bring your big big hats, Masha Allah, may Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us ease but I
		
00:06:34 --> 00:07:04
			don't mean to interfere in your Masjid. But I'm almost certain you will have before the end of
Ramadan. A few misunderstandings regarding the sound. Regarding the lights regarding the windows
regarding the parking, that's all normal. It's your test for Amazon. It happens every Ramadan in
nearly every Masjid in the world. How's that? May Allah forgive us? So now Allah has created us, He
made us he knows what he wants from us. And like I said, you need to know where you are and what
Allah wants from you.
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:44
			And so Allah sent us a book and that book, Allah has set aside a whole month for you to study it. Do
you really study it? How many of us have softened in the month of generosity? How many of us are
generous this evening, one of the main themes was about spending, spending on poor people spending
in the cause of Allah a good cause spending in the house of Allah, this Masjid and all the other
masajid on earth and the Islamic institutions require money in order to pay bills for the lights
that you used in order to pay for the salaries of the people who swept the carpet where you read
Salah in order to pay for the water bills that you used in order to pay for the parking and the gods
		
00:07:44 --> 00:08:22
			that you were protected by by the help of Allah, but we never pay any money why? There is a few
people here who give a lot of money so why should the rest give? I promise you if I were to tell you
that every Salah of yours is worth 500 grands, I would be lying because it's far more than that. But
if you were to pay five rounds for every time you use the facility of the machine, at least you know
someone else didn't pay for me. You understand what I'm saying? Many of us use the machine someone
else has paid for you to use the machine. Can't you pay five rounds per Salah work out how many
Salah you in the masjid and please don't stop coming to the masjid to say I'll have to pay five
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:23
			rounds.
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:33
			But at the same time learn to give learn to be generous you use the facility we use the lights we
use everything we are we benefit from it, where's your money going?
		
00:08:34 --> 00:09:24
			Let it go a little bit to the masjid Subhana Allah wa feeco visa been in Havana to be a de la De
Luca spend in the cause of Allah, the cause of Allah subhanaw taala it is any cause that will please
Allah is called sebelah any cause where the pleasure of Allah lies is called Sabine Leela. It's the
path of Allah. You happen to spend on an orphan on a widow on your neighbor, someone in need a
person in the masjid on the masjid, this that to build the masjid on the madrasa to here today to
sadaqa whatever it may be a good cause with a good heart is always a be law. It is the path of
Allah. That was a verse we heard tonight, spend in the path of Allah and then Allah says, and do not
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:59
			use your hands, to destroy yourself to harm yourself. Don't ever cause harm on your own selves in
any way. Be it through a bad habit. Be it through any other way where you're causing harm for your
own self. Allah says don't do that. Your body is an amount of from Allah. Now I want to pause for a
moment and tell you this Quran is beautiful every time Allah speaks about number one, develop your
relationship with Allah. Number two, develop your relationship with the rest of the creatures that
Allah made Subhana Allah and prepare for that.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:41
			Hera learn to treat people with respect the two main things are called Coca Cola, Coca Cola, the
body, the rights of Allah. When Allah says, while our tea masala to Zakah we heard that verse
tonight also we heard it last night also and we will hear it many other nights. What is the
connection between the two one is specially only for Allah, the other one as much as it is for the
sake of Allah, it is going to benefit the creatures that Allah created. The see. One is you worship
Allah to ease now that your heart is soft, go out and look for poor people look for a good cause
spend from what Allah gave you moments ago, I told you, I'm up to the point where you don't have
		
00:10:41 --> 00:11:21
			ability, you are not responsible, you become responsible at the age of maturity. At the age of
puberty, you are responsible at that age, you have the ability now the physical capacity so you must
worship Allah, the day you get the financial capacity, you must worship Allah through helping other
people and other good causes. Your money is needed, but if you don't give it another person's money
will be used in a good cause. And you know what will happen Subhanallah your money will be used on
something that is wasteful, May Allah not let that happen. So spend so much of time tonight was
spent on versus regarding giving
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:26
			it to Berto Sardar Tiffany,
		
00:11:27 --> 00:12:01
			he, if you are going to make your charities known. It's okay, no problem. If there is a good
intention, you want to encourage others, there's no harm in announcing how much you spent. Remember,
there's a fine line between pride arrogance showing off on one hand, and on the other hand, trying
to encourage people Hey, look, you know what I gave 10 grants, why don't you give 10 also, the man
says you gave 10 I'm gonna give 20 that's what happened at the time of the Sahaba of the Allahu anhu
they were competing with each other for giving. So I'm not going to announce guys I gave 10 so I
have a special parking in the front there and I got a book seat in the first stuff. This is not
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:40
			football my brothers and sisters. We are all VIPs here. The only people you're allowed to book seats
for right behind the Imam or the other Imams and those have knowledge they have a seat right to
behind because why the Hadith says those behind me in a mama when the Imam is in the front those
behind should be those who have knowledge those who have sound understanding the whole father and
the llama they should be behind so it's not wrong to book out about five six seats here. And right
behind the Imam to say this is for other Imams and other her father and other llama not bad. Many
mosquitoes don't even do that. But if they do they have the right to It's okay. Because if something
		
00:12:40 --> 00:13:20
			goes wrong, they can correct they can take over if the if the nosebleed happens. For example, Imam
passes when by mistake. These are rulings that are there in jurisprudence No need to do you know to
laugh about it, because there is a way of taking over from where he left off you who wants to be a
wisecrack who knows nothing standing behind when that happens you probably going to start laughing
so kinda law, but there's another knowledgeable person, he will get up and carry on from where that
Imam left off in a way that he knows hence the place but going back, even reserve parkings reserved
parkings in the masjid. Unless it is for someone who is disabled. Or someone who's the Imam of the
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:41
			masjid or someone who is a guest. It shouldn't be that anyone because of his money because of his
whatever else that they have reserved parking specially for him or a reserved seat in the masjid
specially for him. No, you will lose if you do that. May Allah grant us ease. So Allah says if you
give your charities and people know about it, no harm, but if you hide it, why?
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:45
			to fool to *.
		
00:13:52 --> 00:14:31
			If you hide it and quietly give it away to the poor, it is better for you and Allah will forgive
your sins. Subhana Allah quietly, no one knows what you did in your life. When you go to the afra
you know, Allah knows, I always say people when they commit sin, they like to commit sin in private.
They don't want anyone to watch them. Before they commit a sin they make sure no one's watching, if
only they knew Allah is watching Subhana Allah but when we do good deeds, we want everyone to watch.
Look at the opposite poles, however, try and have some good deeds that no one knows it's hidden
between you and Allah have some of those. So on the day of piano, it will help you so my brothers
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:32
			and sisters.
		
00:14:34 --> 00:15:00
			Allah subhanho wa Taala wants us to spend in his course when he has given us we spend with
humbleness we spend with generosity. Remember, when we say what came first the egg or the chicken
and people start talking right for your information, it was the chicken but if you argue about what
came first the egg or the chicken, people will go around in circles. I want to ask you another
question who
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:02
			is more important, the rich man or the poor man?
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:03
			Tell me
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:33
			if it was not for the poor, the sadaqat of the rich, we're not going to be accepted. You won't be
able to fulfill a pillar of Islam because there's no poor people. So be happy that Allah has given
you poor people coming to you to ask you please give me I'm not condoning begging but I'm only
showing you that at times Allah brings in front of your nose, someone to help you to fulfill a
pillar of Islam, but the way you treat them like disrespectful. That's why Allah says
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:37
			Allah for Allah.
		
00:15:39 --> 00:16:15
			As for the bigger the one who's asking, don't rebuke him, don't insult him. You don't want to give
him no problem. If there is a reason why you don't want to give no problem but don't insult what's
your mouth, that just could be a person Allah sent to you to watch what do you do? Not about him.
It's about you. You don't give him the next man will give him more maybe who knows. You know those
biggest begging it's not like they go back without food. They go without food, they go with the
food, but who gave them is what is of essence. Think about what I'm saying. When the masjid project
is happening, it will be built you didn't give money you didn't give but others gave the machine was
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:51
			built. It didn't stop because of your lack of donation. Remember what I'm saying? Perhaps sometimes
I always believe when money is dirty, and it's earned in the wrong way that person will never ever
want to spend on a good cause. They will go to the gigs in the pubs and wherever else and they'll go
to spend their money on entertainment. But when it comes to the mosquito to the llama, they will be
the lowest paid and the mosquito will be hardly ever given if we do we scrounge it so badly and we
make a big issue out of the few cents that we gave. Keep your money, it's a lost house, he will take
care of it.
		
00:16:52 --> 00:17:33
			You giving give with honor. Otherwise don't give your money can stay where it is use it wherever you
want. If your heart is clean, you give for the sake of Allah. It's the house of Allah. I always want
to cry when I think of the story of Abu Talib and those at the time when abraha was coming to
destroy the Kaaba. And he had this man had 1000s of chemicals that were taken away by abraha. And
what happened is amazing. It's very, very amazing that they were coming with this elephant to
destroy the Kaaba. And Abu Talib goes and says, You know, I want my camels back. So they said, You
are so foolish. You want your camels back but we are not coming here for the camels actually the
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:43
			camels are by the way. We're going to destroy the Kaaba. Why don't you talk about the Kaaba. He
said, Listen, listen, listen. The Kaaba has a lord who will protect it, bring back my camels for
now.
		
00:17:44 --> 00:18:21
			Subhan Allah, what happened? That Kaaba definitely had the Lord who protected it. That's why I'm
saying this. This must be the has a Lord, who will take money from those who have good goodness in
their hearts. May Allah soften our hearts. The politics that happens in every single Masjid across
the globe, is only to distinguish between people regarding the house of Allah, Who is going to still
have a big heart and say, Oh Allah, your cause I got a few issues, but Bismillah I'm going to give
because it's your house. That's what Allah wants to watch. But we fail the tests. And I'm saying, I
don't know about this community when I was here. It was one of the best communities I had visited. I
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:22
			hope it is still the same.
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:25
			Judging from the sound, it is even better.
		
00:18:27 --> 00:19:05
			May Allah grant us ease. My brothers and sisters, I promise you soften your heart. Watch out the
tests that come in your direction. Sometimes you think you're fixing someone not realizing Allah is
just fixing you. So one of the themes I spoke about now was the theme of giving please give, give,
donate, give generously. The best of money you can give is that which you give in the path of Allah
quietly and you are fearing I don't even have so much money but I'm still going to give because you
give Allah will give you I said it last night. I'm saying it again today. You want well give then
Allah will give you a low akubra unfit Yamuna Adama Yun Fatah Lake spend or son of Adam and it shall
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:10
			be spent on you Subhana Allah amazing. Let's move on to the second topic.
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:22
			I have a self imposed time restriction of 20 minutes but maybe I might just overshoot because
brother told me I could go on until further he said people will have they say Harry
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:26
			if you're going to throw eggs you better throw them at him. Not at me.
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:38
			Don't worry, we'll we'll we'll round up just now inshallah. But tomorrow, I think is a holiday
right? Is it the holiday Subhanallah so then we'll round up in a little bit of bonus time.
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:55
			The second topic is the issue of when you don't get along with your wife. How's that? Allahu Akbar?
Do you know Allah addresses it? Yes, Rasul. bacara the surah of the cow Allahu Akbar y. La comunidad
de una de la
		
00:19:58 --> 00:19:59
			Bhima rufinus
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:00

00:20:02 --> 00:20:03

			Nita Tato Whammy file Danica padova, la mannessah
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:18
			tacky. Oh,
		
00:20:22 --> 00:21:08
			you would cry if you knew the meaning Let me tell you what it says. It says when you divorce your
wives don't hold meaning don't leave them hanging. If you divorce a woman and she is in her it that
you can either take her back if that Palak is revocable, you can take her back or you can leave her
you do one of the two. So when when you don't get along with a woman and the relationship is toxic,
Allah is warning you don't ever punish her to say I'm gonna fix you. I'm gonna show you I'm not
going to give you the talaq because of x, y and Zed. Watch out. Allah says we will fix you. You
think you're going to fix a woman? We will fix you. It's just a matter of time. Listen to the rest
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:47
			of the verse. Allah says don't hold them back in order to harm them Lattanzi. kohana. The Iran Lita
tattoo, don't ever hold a woman back in your marriage, when it's toxic, and she wants to go and
you're not getting along in the marriage is over. But you just don't want to give it because you
think the luck is in your hand. Allah says Watch out woman of aldehydic Africa development of saboo
whoever has done that. Don't blame Allah, they have wronged themselves. You just wait and watch what
Allah does. Did you hear what we said? But we don't talk about the surah baqarah comes in we just
think of the cow let's see Subhana Allah, some people even call the wives cows stuff.
		
00:21:49 --> 00:22:31
			May Allah subhanho wa Taala forgive us this type of derogatory statements that come out of our
mouths, Allah has an account of it will lie. When you use bad words to refer to someone there is a
record of it with Allah, Allah will give you that it was your day, the day will come remember this,
there is no chance that the one who is most just can allow injustice to carry on. He will give you a
small chance after that. He's going to catch you. So make amends. That's why we have Ramadan, soften
up, ask people for forgiveness. Put your tail between your legs, put your pride where it's supposed
to be, and go and say look, I'm sorry, I've wronged you. Allah will give you Jenna. Allah give you
		
00:22:31 --> 00:23:10
			Jenna. It's too hard to go and apologize. How can I apologize to that man he worked for me man. He
was this he was at that how? Go and apologize. That is when you understand who Allah is Subhan
Allah. Allah Allah catch you. You wonder why am I sick? Yeah, people don't tell you don't worry test
from Allah. Just what I tell you from now. First thing when you have a problem, difficulty and
hardship, ask yourself who have I had asked and traveled? Maybe I traveled one of the friends of
Allah now I'm getting lashed as possible. The whole ama at the time won't tell you that when you're
in a problem. They'll always give you good news don't worry it's a test make dua make Vicar make
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:50
			this make that. No. I'm telling you now when we don't have that problem when it still hasn't come
watch out make amends with American Allah who was the boom boom, yes, Davi Oh, Allah says Allah will
not punish people while they are making Toba. If you're making Toba and you seeking forgiveness from
Allah, He says at that juncture, I won't punish you. So please make a lot of instead of far, this is
the month of October the month of forgiveness. Allah tells you, if you hold back the women, and if
you oppress women in marriage, and you harming them, and you know that they left their houses of
their fathers and their siblings and so on, and they came to you and you don't offer them the
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:55
			respect that they are supposed to be offered. We will sort you out. That's what Allah says.
		
00:23:57 --> 00:24:14
			And I want to quickly take you to the 28th Jews, the first verse, where it happened literally, tada
Samia Allahu Allah, Allah t tujuh, Dino cafe's Pooja watashi, tacky me.
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:59
			Allah has heard the woman who came to you telling you about her husband and his ill treatment of her
and she's complaining to Allah, we've heard what she just said, we will give her the solution. Allah
says. So that's proof to show that verse in Surah Baqarah where Allah says, watch out, we will fix
you here in Surah talmage Allah, Allah is telling you Well, we did find the solution for her and we
did sought the man out Allahu Akbar. May Allah grant us ease. I know tonight some men will be
sending me emails saying chef is vice versa. Actually, she's holding me. Well forgive us. I hope
that's not the case. I hope that's not the case. My brothers and sisters. The world is turning
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:06
			pound Masha Allah, may Allah grant us returning to him in a way that he is pleased with us say Amin.
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:29
			So my brothers and sisters, that is Allah. There are more verses regarding Palak and the treatment
of women in tonight's verses but I'm not going to go through them. I want to now move to a third
theme. There are several jars that were mentioned by Allah here in Surah. Allah imraan which we
started off tonight, the one of them that stands out.
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:56
			Before I say that, let me introduce the topic. This is the month of Ramadan is the month of
forgiveness. We are all in Salah we all stood for Salah we made a bad day we reading Quran we doing
good deeds, we've become better people the sins we left outside and so on and so forth. Allah says
call out to Allah not to let you go back to the bad that you were in once Allah has guided you
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:59
			to geocode Oban
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:01
			eterna
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:07
			Kawashima in
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:19
			our office, do not lead astray our hearts after You have guided them.
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:54
			And grant us mercy from you give us right now we are in desperate need of your mercy. Don't allow
our hearts to go back to misguidance the sins Let our hearts look at them and consider them bad.
make it difficult for us to sin make it easy for us to obey and Allah will open your doors. And
Allah subhanho wa Taala says indeed he is the giver. He will give you that ask him for it. Make that
too often. Oh Allah. Don't let our hearts go back to misguidance after we were guided after you
guided us.
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:58
			And then the last verse that I want to talk about here
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:03
			is where Allah talks about the people amassing wealth,
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:47
			people amongst so many things, Allah says there are so many things beautiful women are beautified.
Wealth is beautified. You know mountains of gold and silver, all beautified for men, and Allah says
you know what, you better be careful because do everything the right way. Don't commit adultery to
get to a woman make nikka and make Nika easy. Whoever makes halaal easy has made haram difficult.
And whoever makes halaal difficult has made haram easy. So you will pay the price. The parents who
are seated here, we all have dreams for our children. We all want our children to marry a certain
type of a person, a day will come when that might happen. Alhamdulillah it may not happen. Ask
		
00:27:47 --> 00:28:32
			yourself, would the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasallam have allowed this? If the answer is yes. Who
am I not to allow it? Would Allah have allowed this? If the answer is yes, who am I not to allow it
as much as it's not my ideal. I'm going to let it happen so that I do not make haram easy and halaal
difficult. So Allah subhanahu wa taala talks about this to us. Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us how
shavon has beautified these things just like money we earn through our sweat. The Hadith says the
best money you can ever have earned is that which you earn by your own sweat. Because you know how
many cents make $1 100 cents make $1 but if you didn't earn it with your own sweat for you, you can
		
00:28:32 --> 00:29:09
			blow the money left, right and center. I remember a brother who had overweight excess baggage and in
there were only peanuts and some few other nuts that someone had given him. And he was too lazy to
open the bag and take it out and now he's at Heathrow Airport. What's he going to do? So he decided
you know what, in fact, he was in India somewhere in India at the airport, and he decided nevermind
let me pay the overweight they charged him an arm and a leg. So he paid so much of money for that
overweight to go to England when he got to the UK his little grandchildren and children they had all
these peanuts all straws thrown around the garden and everywhere else he called them all he said a
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:37
			pig all these nuts up You don't know how much each one has costed? Why high paid for it overweight,
each one costs about two, three cents. Come on, you can't do this. So when you have paid for
something, you know the value of it when you didn't pay what value you know, may Allah grant us
value of goodness do it in a halal way. So Allah says, All the women and all the wealth and all the
whatever happiness of the dunya we want to show you something better than all of that, Paul.
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:50
			Should we show you something better than all of what we've just described now?
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:53
			Latina
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:55
			there have been
		
00:29:58 --> 00:30:00
			those who develop to religion
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:02
			kinship with Allah, they will get Janna
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:37
			Allah says that relationship with Allah is better than everything you could have ever imagined in
the dunya. Those who are wealthy from amongst us make sure that you set your children properly.
There's no point in letting them wait until the day you die for them to fight over your wealth. Do
it while you're alive. Give your daughter's give your sons when you're alive, you give them equal
share Subhanallah remember sorted out while you're alive while you're alive, give them things so
that they can pray for you. They can love your company, they will pray for your long life, they will
look after you What's the point of keeping it keeping it keeping it there praying, waiting? When is
		
00:30:37 --> 00:31:16
			it going to die? When is it going to die? When is it going to die? This 3 million stuck there. How
my brothers and sisters May Allah grant us What did you amass well for? Number one, your family
members, your relatives, your children, your community and the oma and humanity? That's how we
should be looking at it. So use and spend. May Allah grant us is Allah says better than all of that
is to develop your relationship with Allah, you will get Jenna and you know what Allah says? They
are the people. What are the qualities of those who develop this relationship with Allah known as
toccoa de quoi is to have so much of love of Allah that you fear his anger. That is taqwa. I love
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:44
			someone so much that I don't want them to be upset with me right? So you love Allah so much you
don't want him to be upset with you. That's why you do good things. You know when we say I'm scared
of Allah, you scared of the punishment of Allah, you scared of the anger of the one you love. It's a
totally different type of fear. It's not fear as you know, I'm shaking. No, it's to say I love you
so much. I don't want to I don't want to upset you or Allah in any way. Luck. That is a lie. So now,
Allah says
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:52
			Allah Nina colonna Bana man found in Lana, Urbana joaquina
		
00:31:55 --> 00:31:59
			first quality those who believe in Allah they say Rabbana
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:18
			mana we have believed in you Allah so forgive us our sins for virulent Nirvana and save us from the
fire from the Hellfire the punishment of Hellfire joaquina Davina, then Allah says our Sabino Assad
EP now al carnitine our
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:24
			VP in our Mustafa v Nabeel.
		
00:32:26 --> 00:33:15
			Five qualities you should never ever let go. What are they? Allah says a Sabine, those who are
patient, those who bear patience they are forbearance, they are patient regarding the decree of
Allah and regarding the instructions of Allah and regarding staying away from the prohibitions of
Allah. They have suburb a Sadiq even those who are truthful. A Sabina Masada kin will carnitine,
those who are obedient unto Allah, they fulfill their Salah in the best possible way. They enjoy
acts of worship, you don't fulfill shala as a burden, you fulfill it as an honor. Allahu Akbar, you
fulfill it as an honor. Look how men has become if an important person who perhaps is of a political
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:44
			position, some way happens to know us or we know him or he comes here, we would feel an honor if
they called us or we had an opportunity to meet them, etc, etc, and honor to meet a human who
himself needs the help of Allah so desperately but to meet Allah, it's a burden. We can't wait to
get out of the masjid. When you come in the house of Allah, if you love being in it, you're in the
right track. But if you can't wait to get out, you still need a lot of help.
		
00:33:45 --> 00:34:02
			To see. May Allah make us from those whose hearts are in the masjid when you open the Quran and you
can't wait to stop you need help. But when you open the Quran and you can't wait to carry on and on
then you are heading in the right direction. Don't you see? We all need a lot of help including
myself. May Allah help us
		
00:34:04 --> 00:34:44
			a Siberian Masada keen well carnitine will moon ficky those who spend look it's come back the topic
came back Why did Allah say you want to develop a relationship with me spend you know why? Let me
explain in a nutshell. When you came on earth you had nothing no clothes, no zero, no nothing,
nothing at all. What ever you have is above zero. So you are never at a loss. People say hey, I'm
underground. You're not you have more than what you had the day you were born when you were born you
had zero. Now you've got clothes now you got water now you've got one it's more than what you had.
So Allah is telling you look when you came you had nothing when you go you will have nothing. While
		
00:34:44 --> 00:35:00
			you are here start giving start giving we want to see we we will give you to give let's see. Imagine
you take your little son and you say son Look how much do you want son says I need 100 grands. You
say son This is 200 put 100 in the charity box day and the other 100 keep he takes the 200
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:07
			He looks at you looks at you, when you're not looking he runs away. What will happen it's typical of
little children especially nowadays Subhan Allah
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:21
			but that Allah tells us I'm going to give you for every 197.5 is yours two and a half put it in the
box and we say it's hard to calculate that you know my mind My money is actually tied up in a
building, sell the building.
		
00:35:22 --> 00:35:43
			You will earn the pleasure of Allah. I promise you no way don't compromise your agenda. I know
people say I got little jewelry now What should I do? Well, if you can't make a plan and your
husband doesn't have to pay it, but if he wants to and he's helping you good man Mashallah. At least
allow him to have a little bit more Baraka inshallah. But at the same time
		
00:35:45 --> 00:36:17
			it's not being paid because it's tied in jewelry sadly or happily, you have to break the jewelry
somehow sell it and start paying that sucker. So analyze. I mean, it's a test on Malala so we gave
you we just want to look, half of that is yours, not not half 97.5 you keep Don't worry 2.5 this
side, you see he icon to be Allah forgive us. May Allah forgive us. When you want to develop a
relationship with Allah show him, show him you're going to give, show him you're going to give
		
00:36:18 --> 00:36:30
			and the last quality while most of the very nebulous har, those who seek forgiveness in the early
hours of the morning, seek forgiveness, everybody sleeping, get up and cry to Allah.
		
00:36:31 --> 00:37:20
			Get up and cry to Allah, Allah Allah forgive me. Allah forgive my sins I've done wrong. I've led a
sinful life helped me to change. Allah grant me goodness, forgive my sins, my shortcomings. Allah
says those who can get up at night, early hours of the morning, asking us to forgive them. They have
developed a relationship with us. Allah says what we have given them in terms of Jenna is way better
than everything those people who have the dunya have. So my brothers and sisters, these are the few
verses that I chose to go through this beautiful city of Polo corny with absolutely lovely people.
May Allah keep it this way. And may Allah help you to be even more loving, for indeed, having spent
		
00:37:20 --> 00:37:32
			a month of Ramadan here in 2012. With the theme, the life of the noble Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu
sallam, it brings back the best of memories to be seated here in front of you this evening.
		
00:37:33 --> 00:38:01
			In this blessed month of Ramadan beautiful house of Allah, and I can tell you, if anything, there is
only more and more goodness May Allah subhanho wa Taala help us to cleanse our hearts and to work
very hard so that our generations can be proud of the preparation that we made for them. Aku kolyada
wa sallahu wa salam wa barik ala nabina Muhammad Subhana Allah He will be hungry he Subhana Allah
