			Also coming up when it was coming into May we praise Allah Subhana Allah to Allah because he made
us, He created us. He is in control of our lives. He provides for us. He has nurtured he has given.
He grants cure to us, and He is who we are going to return to. So we always praise Him upon all
conditions. Alhamdulillah Allah,
		
00:00:52 --> 00:01:01
			we praise Allah upon all conditions. And we send blessings and salutations upon hundreds of Allah
Allah.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:45
			Because Allah chose him. When Allah chose him to be the best of creation, the most high of all the
prophets of Allah subhanho wa Taala we cannot become jealous when Allah chooses someone above us.
You are not nebby or prophet, I am not nebby or prophet, Allah chose who is the Abbey, we have to
acknowledge that when Allah raises one above the other, we must acknowledge it. Because shavonne he
believes his crime at the beginning was he said,
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			Johnny mean
		
00:01:56 --> 00:02:50
			we, he said, I am better than Adam, You created me from fire, you created him from soil, so I am
better than him. But Allah subhanho wa Taala says, because he denied that we raised them above him,
so we trust him. So if you and I want to be protected from Chris, we need to acknowledge the favor
that Allah has bestowed upon some above the others, primarily, Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
is the highest, he is the most noble of all the prophets of Allah, the greatest of all the creation
of Allah Subhana Allah to Allah, that is why we send blessings and salutations upon him. It is the
instruction of Allah. Allah, Allah,
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:52
			Allah.
		
00:02:55 --> 00:03:16
			Whoever, sins, blessings, and salutations upon Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam one time Allah
said, He will send He will bless them 10 times. So if I want to blessings I need to send blessings
upon Mohammed Salah.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:22
			Now, why am I giving you this introduction?
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			Number one,
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:37
			I said Alhamdulillah Allah, Allah, Allah II think Allah upon all conditions. I want to tell you it
is my first trip to Indonesia.
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:46
			It is my first time I'm coming to Jakarta. But insha Allah if Allah wants it's not my last time.
		
00:03:49 --> 00:04:00
			It is the first Masjid where when I say a salaam aleikum, everybody replied, so loudly normally
replies. Okay, so I will remember Indonesia, because of the beautiful reply.
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:30
			Allah do lucam Allah amin either fall to the habit after Salah byakko the prophets Allah says Should
I not show you something if you were going to practice upon it? It would increase your love of
spread the Salaam between you it's a very deep explanation but also a salaam aleikum wa alayhi wa
sallam is included in that explanation. So congratulations to you 10 out of 10
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:49
			but it is my first trip, unfortunately and very Unfortunately, it is immediately after and during
some great challenges which your country is going through.
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:59
			You know, there was the situation in Lombok a few weeks ago. May Allah protect us all. I mean, I
mean, may Allah make it easy for those who are
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:15
			struggling. I mean, May Allah help rebuild that place? I mean, may Allah strengthen the Eman of
those who are survivors. I mean, it's a very tough time, we need to make dua for strengthening of
email
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:20
			melodrama, to those who have lost their lives. I mean,
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:29
			after that we had without expectation, Sulawesi they call it pallu. Am I right?
		
00:05:31 --> 00:06:10
			There was an earthquake which resulted in a tsunami and there was a more of the earthquake and then
volcanic eruptions, one after the other, someone asks us, is this the punishment of Allah? I will
tell you, you cannot say it is the punishment of Allah because some people died in Salah. Is that a
punishment? No, it is the Wrath of Allah. If you died in the right condition, you are going to die.
Just like I will die. The winner is the one not the one who stays alive forever, but the one whom
when he died, Allah was happy with him.
		
00:06:12 --> 00:07:03
			So if you die, while Allah is happy with you, whether it was a volcano, whether it was an
earthquake, whether it was a tsunami, whether it was cancer, whether it was an car accident, whether
it was a plane crash, if Allah is happy with you forget about how you died, it is the condition upon
which you die. So if someone tells you there is an arm of Allah, they do not know from Allah, what
it was jabril and his salon did not come to them to tell them that this is other debris in agony
Salam did not come to them with ye and revelation from the sky to tell them that this is the
punishment of Allah. How many of us say the video clip of the people inshallah, when the earthquake
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:06
			happened? Do you think that was the era
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:09
			one man can
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:19
			stone?
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:27
			Allah says, Allah will not punish the people for as long as Mohammed Salah
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			was in their best.
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:37
			And then Allah says Allah will not punish the people while they are seeking the forgiveness of
Allah.
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:58
			So Allah is a great ibadah of Allah while we are in Santa, if something happens, it is not the
punishment of Allah. It is the LACMA of Allah. I want to ask you a question. How many of you would
like to die inshallah put up your hand
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:04
			Okay, put it down. I learned one thing shift you don't need to.
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:09
			They understood what I said.
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:20
			We want to die in Sala so with your insula, if you die was it?
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:23
			What was it?
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:45
			A surgeon. So why do we find people saying that when a natural disaster comes, volcano comes sooner?
It is either it can be yes or who for the one who is far from Allah. If you die while you are
committing a sin, then there is no good news.
		
00:08:46 --> 00:09:01
			If you die while you are committing a sin, then we cannot say that this is the rahima of Allah. Why?
Because your condition while you were dying was not a good one. May Allah give us a good death?
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:04
			Check, I promise you.
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:11
			Okay, so at hamdulillah
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:43
			I wanted to start like this because we are going to talk of love between us but it's important. I'm
coming to Indonesia The first time I cannot ignore the fact that you have gone through a lot. When
you go through one and another and a third and a fourth. It is not easy. Some people that a man can
shake if they are not so strong. It is our duty to say Don't worry, my brother, don't worry, my
sister, we all go through different problems. Avon aji
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:59
			de la dee, the bigger the test, the bigger the reward. The big reward is with the big test. When you
answer one plus one equals two, you get a small certificate, right small certificate, but when you
answer a huge
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:12
			Question that takes you one hour to answer you will get the university degree. Why? Because the big
certificate, big question. The same with Allah, He tells you
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:18
			through the lips of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam in Allah.
		
00:10:21 --> 00:11:09
			When a man loves you, he tests you. Life is all about tests. All of us seated here, all of the
sisters who are here, all of the those who are watching those who will see this later, we all have
problems in our lives, all of us, the richest and the poorest. We all have problems, because that is
the nature of life. Life is all about problems. But when you have a man, Allah makes it easy for you
to go through the problem. When you don't have a man, Allah subhanho wa Taala is not there to help
you through your problem. So you become depressed. How many of us when we have a big problem, after
that, we make meaning we come to Allah.
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			We start Salah.
		
00:11:13 --> 00:12:06
			Imagine if there is a person who is sinful. And something happened, maybe a tsunami, maybe an
earthquake, maybe a volcano, maybe a sickness, maybe something big happened to them. And they after
that they came to the masjid, they cry, they make Toba they turn to Allah. That was the rush ma
Allah He loves you so much that he did something to you, which brought you back to him before you
died. Allahu Akbar. It is the gift of Allah. Don't think it is bad for you. It is good for you. So
the Hadith says the bigger the test, the bigger the reward. My brothers and sisters of Indonesia
your tests are very, very big. So the reward inshallah will be even bigger by the end of the month.
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:33
			We in from my part of the country of the world, in southern Africa, Mashallah. We have tried our
best whenever we hear something happened in Indonesia, or LA he, some of our brothers and sisters,
they contribute and they send whatever they can to this country. But I have learned something today.
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:36
			All of us sitting here in Jakarta.
		
00:12:38 --> 00:13:25
			If we take out a little bit from our pocket a little bit from our pocket, it's enough for the people
who are struggling. Because we are so many number if today in this Masjid. Mashallah, we are in a
large number. I was expecting 10 or 20 people. For hamdulillah it's Allah I told the sheriff I said,
Well, we don't come for numbers. He who comes from numbers did not come from a law. We are here for
a lot. The message I don't want you to become close to me. No, I am not a politician. Politicians,
they call towards themselves. Vote for me, vote for me, vote for me, no vote for Allah. I am here
not for me, I am here for Allah, I am going to tell you don't turn to me turn to Allah. So even if
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:44
			there are two people or five or 10, I'm a happy man. But we see large numbers. If every one of us
have to take out a small amount, we can sort out the rebuilding of those areas that are affected by
all the disasters that are affected, may Allah make it easy for us.
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:53
			So don't lose hope in the mercy of Allah, Allah. Goodness, we love one another for the sake of
Allah.
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:58
			I lived in Madina munawwara for many years as a student,
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:09
			and I used to see the judge coming in from Indonesia, calm, who relaxed, they can sit for 10 hours,
and they're still smiling.
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:54
			And I used to be amazed because from other countries, they are a little bit hot. I don't want to
mention names because when you say good things, you can say the name. When you say bad things. Don't
say the name just leave it. But it's a good lesson. And today I'm happy to sit here. You know what,
I'm learning something. It is hot. It is human. It is tough. It is difficult for me so panela it's a
learning experience to see people still sitting and calm and relaxed. I was sending a message to one
of my team members outside saying I make do I want the sisters who came here today. May Allah bless
them with gentlemen.
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:59
			The reason is they're sitting outside in the heat
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:02
			In the tent,
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:32
			and it's hot, and they are sweating, and sweltering, why did they come? They came for Allah, they
want the calmness of the heart, they want to get close to Allah. This is solidarity. This is the
love for the sake of Allah. How do you know me? If you know me? Can I tell you? You only know me
because I talk about Allah and Islam and Islam.
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:49
			That's why you that's why some of you who know me are here today. If I was anything else, you would
not know me. And I would not know you. So that is solidarity. What brings me together with you?
		
00:15:56 --> 00:16:31
			That's what brings me and you together. That is the Shahada. The Hadith says the power of the
Shahada is such that if you were to put it on one side of the scale, and you were to put 99 files of
sins, on the other side of the scale, that La ilaha illAllah, Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
wasallam will be heavier and stronger than the 99 files full of sin. May Allah subhanho wa Taala
give us some gentlemen.
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:50
			So my sisters, congratulations to you. If I had it in my hand, I would mean extending this place and
placing freezing cold air conditioned so that we can sit here in comfort, but I want to tell you,
when you have made a greater effort, Allah gives you a greater reward.
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:58
			May Allah reward us? I mean, no, let me mention the second thing. So that's why I started off by
saying,
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:50
			praise Allah, every condition, you are going through hardship Alhamdulillah, you are going to ease
Alhamdulillah to not let your ears drive you away from Allah, just like you should not let your
difficulty drive you away from Allah. Some people when they are very rich, very powerful, very high,
they turn away from Allah because they forget Allah. Some people when they are very poor, when they
are suffering, when they have a sickness, when the sickness is not going, they turn away from Allah.
Allah says, Don't do that, whether you are sick or healthy. Praise Allah, whether you are rich or
poor, praise Allah, whether you are powerful or not praise Allah Alhamdulillah Allah Allah. The
		
00:17:50 --> 00:18:03
			winner is not the one who had or did not have in the dunya. The winner is the one who plays Allah so
that they can have the year after genital victims.
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:07
			Secondly,
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:13
			we have two things that we need to remember.
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:14
			And
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:27
			there are two things in existence, there is the creator and the creator take whatever is not the
Creator is the creature of the Creator.
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:29
			Right? So
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:36
			I have two duties. One is Coca Cola, and one is Coca Cola.
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:50
			Remember this, I have two duties, the rights of Allah, and I have the rights for everyone else. Why
do I have the rights for everyone else? I can tell you why.
		
00:18:52 --> 00:19:33
			Because everyone else was made by the same Allah who made me if I'm think I am important, because
Allah made me they think they are important because Allah made them. And we are all important
because Allah made us I'm not the only one who is important. If Allah did not want me or you, he
would not make you and He will not make me but he wanted you and he wanted me even if I am different
from you, in race in color in beneath, I need to fulfill your rights. I will get to that in a few
minutes. But let me start off by speaking about
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:38
			the right of Allah number one, and
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:55
			we know that we worship Allah and we worship Him alone, and we don't render any act of worship for
anyone besides Allah. Because when we say la ilaha illa Allah What is the meaning? It means
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:59
			that we have been in Allah there is no one word.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:13
			We have worship recites above, and is the answer that is the translation. So if I see there is no
one worthy of worship besides a lot, why should I worship someone besides
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:30
			that is something very important. Remember that it is the primary duty unto Allah. Secondly, part of
your duty unto Allah is to follow the messengers who Allah sent to you to guide you to meet to guide
me.
		
00:20:31 --> 00:21:03
			If the president of this country sends you a message, you will be so happy Mashallah. And the
messenger who comes you will honor Him, you will respect him, but you will take the message and you
will read it and you take it seriously. You are a VIP. So the President sent you a message Masha
Allah, Allah is the Creator of entire creation, he sent you a message, you need to respect the
messenger and you need to adopt the message.
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:10
			So remember that when I worship Allah, I will do it the way he
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:21
			taught me in a nice beautiful way. I will listen and I will adopt. That is my right to Allah. Now
let's talk about my right to everyone else.
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:26
			Allah created Peace. Peace
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:31
			is a big a good article. Where Hello?
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:35
			Is it not? Hello? What is it? Is it?
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:56
			If it is how did you go out and torture all the pigs in the billion? Did he say that go out and the
pigs harm them kill them? Did Allah say that? No. Allah said don't eat it.
		
00:21:57 --> 00:22:00
			Don't trade it. Leave it out.
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:18
			You know, dogs for example. Let's give you even another example of snakes. Lions, I come from a
country full of lions. I come from a country full of elephants. Maybe we have one of the largest
population of elephants in the world in my country.
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:25
			It's possible and it's a big big people right? Mashallah.
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:31
			There is a reason
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:35
			a libido these animals, there is a reason
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:42
			I want to teach you something about love and solidarity. Listen carefully.
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:44
			You know a dog
		
00:22:46 --> 00:23:03
			we are you are only allowed to have a dog for certain reasons. If it is a guard dog, if it is a
farming dog, if it is a blind patch dog few reasons. If it is a farming dog, you can
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:24
			few reasons but your relationship with the dog as a Muslim is limited. It is covered by something
right? Which means if the dog touches you, there is a ruling. If it leaves you there is another
ruling and so on. That's not my topic. But it's a difficult situation. However.
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:27
			Do you know there is a hottie
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:32
			the province says there was a man who was very thirsty
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:46
			in the desert, hot, maybe more than this day. One day. He was very thirsty. He was working in the
desert. He needed water. There was no water. Suddenly he saw a well.
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:58
			When he saw the well. He looked there was no bucket, no bucket. So what did he have to do? He had to
go in November. So he went down. It's dangerous.
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:04
			To go down the world is dangerous. He went down well.
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:14
			He drank water and he came back up. When he came back up. He wanted to maybe go home whatever it was
he was going
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:19
			as he came out and he was deciding to continue for either.
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:25
			He saw a dog
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:27
			What did he see?
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:37
			He saw a dog. When you see a dog in the street. What do you do? Run away
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:42
			before the dog says woof woof. You are
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:44
			right.
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:50
			Doggy dog. You may stop when you run away right out of the
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:53
			way. He saw the dog.
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:59
			It was a hot day he saw the dog sniffing into the dust and the sand
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:07
			In order to try and leak a little bit of liquid find something because it was very, very thirsty. So
he said,
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:23
			This dog is very thirsty, as thirsty as I was before I went down to drink my water. Let me go back
down
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:31
			to fetch water. I told you it was dangerous. It's dangerous to go inside the well. If I tell you,
brother, here's about go inside.
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:52
			Right? You cannot go down the well. It's dangerous. He No one told him to go. No one was watching
him. from human beings. No one was watching you. He said let me go down in the world. He went down
in the well. There was no bucket. What to do. What can I do? There is no bucket.
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:56
			He took his shoe out.
		
00:25:57 --> 00:26:07
			It is like a Nether sock that they were he took it out. He filled it with water. Can I ask you
brother? Can you please go and fill your shoe with water and bring it back?
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:10
			No, I won't.
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:13
			Will you fill your shoes
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:16
			for a dog?
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:19
			Not even for a human being. So
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:22
			maybe not even for your wife.
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:26
			Fill your shoes.
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:33
			He filled his shoe with water. He brought it back up.
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:43
			He went near to the dog. He made the dog drink the water. Allahu Akbar, who was watching Allah.
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:54
			Allah says, I love the compassion of this man so much that I forgive the sins he can go to jail.
		
00:26:57 --> 00:27:05
			Because he was showing compassion to a creature of Allah, which was a dog.
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:31
			There was no doubt about his media. His media was to please Allah. That's why there was a dog. If
there was a pretty girl, maybe the media was going to be faulty. Right? If there was a rich man,
maybe the Nia was going to be a problem. If there was a bird or a peacock, maybe people were going
to say,
		
00:27:32 --> 00:28:06
			go get water. No, there was a dog. You and I would run away from the dog. The man went down and he
got the water he came back. I forget. I want to tell you the most powerful point about solidarity.
If Allah gave gentleness to a man who showed compassion to a dog, what do you think Allah will give
you an eye if we show compassion to another human being?
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:10
			You understand what I'm saying?
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:14
			If you show compassion to a dog,
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:18
			if you show compassion to a human being, you will get more than that.
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:22
			You want the mercy of Allah.
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:30
			You need to understand what your relationship should be with the creatures of Allah. Why did you
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:52
			Why did he make me because I will get through my luck, my character. Some people make a very big
mistake. They think that Taiyaki is only Coca Cola, the rights of Allah so David Salah five times a
day.
		
00:28:54 --> 00:29:03
			They will so fast, every other day they are fasting. They are reading Quran every other day, every
day.
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:25
			But the mouth is bad, they swear they cheat, they deceive. They abuse they are longer than you Mel
treat. The heart is dirty because they are jealous. They have they have a trip, they have enmity,
they have envy, the heart is dirty.
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:27
			How can you go to Japan?
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:36
			When you have washed out one whole chunk of the deal? Islam is not only
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:44
			when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was asked the question by the Sahaba.
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:55
			They asked him on messenger peace be upon him. Please tell us what are the qualities of the people
who are going to go to
		
00:29:57 --> 00:30:00
			those people in general what are the
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:15
			qualities that will make him go into gentlemen. He said Tacoma he was coo coo coo, coo coo coo coo
coo coo coo Allah He the consciousness of Allah taqwa piety.
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:17
			Yeah you
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:28
			boomers *. Oh you who believe. Be conscious of Allah, how many times do we hear it
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:34
			be conscious of Allah but together with the consciousness of Allah develop your
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:46
			develop your character, your conduct, your compassion, your love for one another, don't miss your
heart up with with eight
		
00:30:48 --> 00:31:36
			we will be different I will not agree with you on 100 points, maybe 90 points 10 points maybe I
disagree. Does that mean I was hate you and fight you and kill you and harm you and to everything?
No, I will disagree. Maybe we can discuss it. Maybe I can present to you what I agree and you can
present to me what you are convinced by we might come to agree on 95 out of 105 more, maybe we might
not. So does it mean that you must start hating and hurting and abusing and dis uniting my brothers
my sisters today in the Muslim world and Alhamdulillah I have traveled quite a lot. The destruction
is not from outside, it is from inside.
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:46
			The destruction is not from outside it is from inside shaper knows that the numbers are too big.
		
00:31:47 --> 00:32:20
			So he wants to make us divide. You have one group you become two from to become four from four you
become 14 from 14 you become 400 from 400 to become 4000 different groups, each one is falling to
his own person, that person they are no longer according to Allah. We are calling to a small group
or organization that we belong to. That's a man who studies Bible study. That's it. He's the only
one who has the key to gentlemen, the others they have a fake key.
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:27
			My brothers that is the truth. People think that way. But it's wrong thinking wrong thinking.
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:36
			This one says that one is not going to gender that one says the other ones are not going to gender
all of them say those
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:39
			then gender will be empty.
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:43
			Who is going to go to gender?
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:50
			I want to tell you the agenda is not yours or mine. It is Allah.
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:56
			So Allah is Rahim, Allah
		
00:32:58 --> 00:33:06
			Subhana Allah, worship Allah alone, you will see what will happen. You will be surprised when you go
to China.
		
00:33:07 --> 00:33:10
			What is this guy doing here? I didn't think he was going to make it here.
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:18
			You will be surprised to see lots of people in general for those
		
00:33:19 --> 00:33:19
			of us
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:39
			learn to love one another for the sake of Allah show compassion, reach out to the elderly, the old,
don't worry, look, I want to tell you in Islam there is something known as a cuckoo jar. You know
what is the Jar Jar means your neighbor Gian.
		
00:33:41 --> 00:33:59
			Allah tells you you have to fulfill the light of your neighbor, you must be a good neighbor, no
disturbance, no harm, you must help you must reach out when you cook sometimes you must cook more
send it to your neighbor, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. lazada degree do you see even Jerry?
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:19
			No You will be the prophets of Allah services. gibreel at a Salam told me so many times about being
careful about the rights of the neighbor until I thought maybe he will make him an heir when we die.
		
00:34:22 --> 00:34:27
			So the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam said, even if your neighbor is a non
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:29
			Muslim,
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:46
			even if your neighbor is a non Muslim, he has the rights of the neighbor. If he is a Muslim, he has
more rights. If he's a Muslim and a relative, he has even more rights, but they all have rights.
Okay.
		
00:34:47 --> 00:34:51
			So if your neighbor who is not a Muslim has the rights
		
00:34:54 --> 00:34:58
			How come we mean who say Allah, we say Mohammed
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:15
			We have so much of hatred with each other like we have no rights for each other. Tell us you are
going to turn going to Johanna going to turn the last time someone said they were going to turn up.
I told the Brother, don't worry. It's only those who are who know who is there.
		
00:35:18 --> 00:35:19
			He thinks
		
00:35:20 --> 00:35:25
			that's why he said, it's like a young man, he comes to you. He says, what were you doing in the
nightclub?
		
00:35:27 --> 00:35:28
			How do you know? What are you doing?
		
00:35:32 --> 00:35:34
			So May Allah forgive us and
		
00:35:35 --> 00:35:47
			guide us one morning, my beloved brothers and my sisters. The solidarity that we so desperately need
is something that we cannot do without we have to have it.
		
00:35:48 --> 00:35:56
			You know, when there is a disaster, outside car accident, may Allah protect us. Let's look at
anything.
		
00:36:00 --> 00:36:12
			When you see something like that happening, as a human being, it's your duty to try to help. You
don't say, brother, how much money do you have?
		
00:36:13 --> 00:36:17
			No one said leave him don't help him. Is that what Islam teaches?
		
00:36:18 --> 00:36:25
			Oh, that man is not very light in color in him. He's very dark. It's okay. He can die. Is that what
Islam teaches you?
		
00:36:27 --> 00:36:33
			Or he comes from the south. We come from the north. We cannot marry each other. So leave him let him
die.
		
00:36:36 --> 00:36:37
			Right?
		
00:36:38 --> 00:36:39
			This is wrong.
		
00:36:41 --> 00:36:51
			When someone is struggling, even an animal that is suffering we supposed to help. I asked you a
question. If a man is drowning, and the dog is drowning, who do you save?
		
00:36:53 --> 00:36:54
			Who do you say
		
00:36:56 --> 00:36:56
			both.
		
00:36:59 --> 00:37:13
			But we'll start with the man. That is Islam. Islam says if the man is dying or drowning and the dog
is drowning, your intention is to save both but you start with the man. Once he's okay you go for
the dog.
		
00:37:15 --> 00:37:19
			You will have a reward. So we are taught to care for animals.
		
00:37:21 --> 00:37:25
			You cannot harm an animal one lady Abby.
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:28
			She was
		
00:37:30 --> 00:37:41
			entered into Hellfire because of her now treatment of attacked. She was abusing the text. So she
Allah says she will go into hellfire.
		
00:37:43 --> 00:38:26
			What about us, we abuse the people around us We swear those who work for us we swear our family
members our in laws, our children, our parents, our brothers, our sisters, whoever else we swear
them in the masjid in another machine. So on my brother This is a Masjid. It is the house of Allah,
the masjid wherever else across the road, there might be a Masjid. It is also the house of Allah. If
I don't agree with five factors of theirs, and they don't agree with five factors of mind, it
doesn't make us those who should hate each other to the degree that we don't fulfill the rights of
each other. shavon wants us to dislike each other so that your mind is gone. What our three year old
		
00:38:34 --> 00:38:35
			was
		
00:38:45 --> 00:38:53
			do not dispute amongst one another because if you do that you are going to lose your mind your power
as an owner will be gone.
		
00:38:54 --> 00:39:00
			It will be gone. You will be unsuccessful. unofficial means to be unsuccessful.
		
00:39:03 --> 00:39:08
			Allah says wants you to bear patience, because Allah is with those who bear patience.
		
00:39:11 --> 00:39:29
			If you have a problem with your son, what will you do? You will try to talk to him, you will explain
to him you will sit with him you will make to alpha him, you will convince him you will do whatever
you can to try and convince him and help him and talk to you. Well, we are all brothers and sisters
and sons and daughters of one another. That's what we are.
		
00:39:31 --> 00:39:32
			compassion.
		
00:39:33 --> 00:39:43
			Allah made us differently. What convinces me totally might not convince you at all. Something else
has convinced you completely Marlena is
		
00:39:44 --> 00:39:50
			my duty is to convey what I believe clearly. You might want to convey what you believe clearly.
		
00:39:52 --> 00:39:57
			You know what, at the end of the day, Allah has kept a day of judgment to judge the people.
		
00:39:59 --> 00:39:59
			Don't
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:00
			Confused?
		
00:40:02 --> 00:40:12
			Don't confuse demo with anything else. That means to call people to goodness, that work is not done
via hatred.
		
00:40:13 --> 00:40:24
			Never. When Allah sent Musa alayhis salam who was the best of the time to the federal shutdown, who
was the worst of the time?
		
00:40:37 --> 00:40:50
			Go to them go to frown. Speak to him calm, soft words. Speak to him with soft, polite, beautiful
words. Maybe he will remember and come back.
		
00:40:53 --> 00:40:57
			When you give that away to someone, are you better than Mussa? Are you better than
		
00:41:00 --> 00:41:04
			the man you are talking to? A woman? Can they be worse than three out?
		
00:41:06 --> 00:41:16
			So, if you are not better than Musa alayhis salam, and they are not worse than Iran, then you need
to speak to them with more leniency.
		
00:41:17 --> 00:41:18
			You understand?
		
00:41:20 --> 00:41:22
			Nobody on earth today this wisdom
		
00:41:23 --> 00:41:24
			used to say
		
00:41:26 --> 00:41:26
			to
		
00:41:29 --> 00:41:32
			my people, I don't know another god for you besides me.
		
00:41:34 --> 00:41:36
			He says Allah, Allah
		
00:41:41 --> 00:41:54
			subhana wa, today who you are going to talk to is not as bad as so what's your what's your heart?
Why are you giving the Dow is it for your sake or your chest sake or for the sake of Allah.
		
00:41:55 --> 00:42:07
			If you are giving for the sake of Allah, you will learn to love and to help conserve and to be soft
and to keep trying and to keep repeating no need for hatred. You keep trying and you try until you
die.
		
00:42:11 --> 00:42:12
			Allah says to
		
00:42:14 --> 00:42:15
			me, can
		
00:42:17 --> 00:42:20
			you convey the message we will take the account?
		
00:42:22 --> 00:42:24
			Why do we think we are more important than
		
00:42:26 --> 00:42:26
			I know.
		
00:42:28 --> 00:42:31
			Someone greets you Santa Monica. Just they just look at him.
		
00:42:33 --> 00:42:34
			Like they didn't hear
		
00:42:36 --> 00:42:38
			back, though.
		
00:42:42 --> 00:42:46
			Did you see his heart The only one who knows the heart is allowed to
		
00:42:47 --> 00:43:04
			greet the people humble down, shake on comes to the knowledgeable as well, to make them think that I
am better than everyone else. That is the same sickness. That was the result of the test of shaytan.
I spoke about it at the beginning of my talk.
		
00:43:05 --> 00:43:17
			Shakedown comes to the knowledgeable as well. In fact, in a strange way in disguise every day you
need to ask yourself how did shaman come to me today?
		
00:43:18 --> 00:43:21
			If a few days passed and you don't know you need help,
		
00:43:22 --> 00:43:29
			because shaytan comes to me he comes to you. And a lot of the times when he knows you need five
Salah you know a lot about Islam.
		
00:43:31 --> 00:43:37
			He comes in another way he spoils your heart. He makes you start belittling people
		
00:43:38 --> 00:43:41
			who cannot be with
		
00:43:43 --> 00:43:43
			me.
		
00:43:45 --> 00:44:00
			None of you will need to Agenda no one who will enter agenda in whose heart there is a mustard seeds
wait with rye right. So the competitors ask the prophets Allah sent them they said
		
00:44:01 --> 00:44:16
			O Messenger, we love our clothing. We love our convenience. Because someone might think when you see
a guy with nice clothes, maybe that is pride, a preference a lot of services. That is not a pride.
Pride is
		
00:44:18 --> 00:44:32
			when you reject the truth after it is fair and you know it's the truth and you reject it. And when
you despise the people when you listen to people when you mock at the people that is prime.
		
00:44:33 --> 00:44:53
			If I'm driving the latest car, I have the latest perfume. I have the best cloth but I am humbled I
greet the people I'm talking to them. I read Salah I am okay I don't like to despise anyone I don't
mock anyone. I don't work with a chip on my shoulder. There is nothing wrong. Maybe Allah gave me
well.
		
00:44:55 --> 00:44:57
			I paid my soccer more than the soccer
		
00:44:58 --> 00:44:59
			make to our for the world.
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:00
			See
		
00:45:01 --> 00:45:04
			that Allah keep them humble and use that wealth in a good course.
		
00:45:06 --> 00:45:10
			May Allah make us millionaires.
		
00:45:11 --> 00:45:13
			Mashallah that was a loud
		
00:45:16 --> 00:45:18
			rupee as a million is not too much.
		
00:45:20 --> 00:45:22
			Millennials in gold parks
		
00:45:24 --> 00:45:43
			are protected. So my brothers and sisters, you see, it's important for us to hold together as I told
you the destruction we are witnessing throughout the Muslim world is more from inside than from
outside. Look at our countries, you can name them.
		
00:45:44 --> 00:46:10
			The wars that are happening, you can name the wars, you know, I don't need to say the countries, all
of them. They are suffering at the hands of one another. Do not allow that to happen to you. That's
why I'm here today to tell you that message. Don't allow hate to creep in your heart. When you are a
good Muslim. The sign of goodness of your Eman is that your heart becomes soft.
		
00:46:12 --> 00:46:27
			A sign that you are close to Allah is that your heart is solid. You are not harsh and hard and hard
hearted and wretched. No, you are calm, you are soft, your nature is good. Your words are beautiful.
		
00:46:28 --> 00:46:33
			Your approach is amazing. fabby da
		
00:46:35 --> 00:46:35
			da
		
00:46:37 --> 00:46:37
			da da
		
00:46:40 --> 00:46:42
			da da dee
		
00:46:49 --> 00:46:49
			was down
		
00:46:52 --> 00:46:53
			in
		
00:46:54 --> 00:46:55
			Omaha.
		
00:46:57 --> 00:47:18
			It is because of the mercy of Allah that you are lenient towards those around you. You know what
that means? When you are lenient to those around you. It is a saying that Allah is having mercy on
you. Do you want to know if he is with you?
		
00:47:19 --> 00:47:24
			You need to ask yourself is my art lenient? If it is lenient, Allah says,
		
00:47:26 --> 00:47:39
			Allah, Allah, because of the mercy of Allah upon you. So you are lenient, when you are harsh, hard
hearted, it is saying that there is a lack of the mercy of allowed.
		
00:47:41 --> 00:48:02
			So those of us who want to have a bad mouth, a bad heart, dirty heart. You know, in Islam, we are
taught to have something known as the small one. A small one is one of the primary qualities of a
Muslim. The problem with us today, we have more so
		
00:48:03 --> 00:48:04
			than
		
00:48:05 --> 00:48:11
			we think evil about others, before we think good about them.
		
00:48:13 --> 00:48:36
			When you see a man running away, out of the masjid, at the time of Salah, your duties to force
yourself to think good things. Maybe his wife is delivering a baby he's running out, maybe he has a
nosebleed maybe there is something wrong maybe there is an emergency maybe he needs the toilet,
maybe that is
		
00:48:38 --> 00:48:39
			but we say something along
		
00:48:45 --> 00:48:48
			with the brother comes back the next day, and he says
		
00:48:52 --> 00:48:54
			How can I sell on him? He goes
		
00:48:56 --> 00:48:58
			that is the same your artists dirty my brother.
		
00:49:01 --> 00:49:01
			Please
		
00:49:03 --> 00:49:04
			don't worry.
		
00:49:07 --> 00:49:09
			But when you see the bank drinking alcohol
		
00:49:11 --> 00:49:12
			and he tells you I was really tasty.
		
00:49:14 --> 00:49:15
			We cannot do that.
		
00:49:17 --> 00:49:32
			So why am I speaking about alcohol because my brothers and sisters, when you see someone doing a sin
lie in front of you. I'm not talking about stories, stories, we have another disease.
		
00:49:34 --> 00:49:38
			But when you see someone lying in front of you,
		
00:49:39 --> 00:49:40
			number one
		
00:49:47 --> 00:49:59
			to take away then if you can you talk to them. My brother, my sister, it's not a good thing. Try to
leave it for the sake of Allah and then you can go away. What did you do? Did you expose them?
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:07
			Today we are living in the age of Instagram. We are living in the age of internet, when you see
someone committed,
		
00:50:14 --> 00:50:15
			you want to tell them
		
00:50:17 --> 00:50:18
			Are you
		
00:50:19 --> 00:50:42
			are you among men, if you are a believer, you will want to change the person the same way you want
to change your son, your daughter, your own father or mother, you will not want to expose them. This
is your son, your daughter, your brother, your sister. Remember, don't become happy to expose
someone, man satama sliman saatavilla COVID.
		
00:50:44 --> 00:50:59
			Whoever covers a believer and covers their faults, that doesn't mean you don't correct them. You can
tell them in a nice way you start to make a do out, it shows your artists clean. Secondly, you tell
them in a very nice way.
		
00:51:00 --> 00:51:06
			Not a good thing. Leave it for the sake of Allah. What did I do? I told him in a nice way. But if I
say
		
00:51:07 --> 00:51:23
			you are going to Johanna, how many of us have committed sins in the past, all of us. Still we make
mistakes. I make mistakes, you make mistakes, we are human. When I make a mistake, I want you to
correct me please.
		
00:51:24 --> 00:51:30
			Because I love you and you must love me. And I want to know for you and for me.
		
00:51:32 --> 00:52:11
			So this is the thing that we should not go around displaying things. Let me explain. When a person
commits a sin nowadays, we forward the message we forward the rumor application. It's not even true.
It's just an allegation, no evidence of it. And we are forwarding it all over the show getting
excited. Oh, you know this person? Did you see they committed Zina? Did you see this enough? No. Did
they committed? It's just a WhatsApp message. Did someone give them a fair trial? Did they listen to
both sides? Did they see no nothing happened.
		
00:52:13 --> 00:52:17
			But who is spreading it? You and I? We just forward the message.
		
00:52:18 --> 00:52:25
			And then someone says you forwarding it yes i forward as received forwarded as received. Why do we
do this?
		
00:52:26 --> 00:52:38
			May Allah subhanho wa Taala make it easy for all of us. We need to learn to eradicate these bad
habits I have spoken for longer than I thought I could speak it is the part of Indonesia
		
00:52:40 --> 00:52:50
			and the love of the brothers and the sisters out there. My sisters I apologize for having kept you
out in the tent in the heat sweating.
		
00:52:51 --> 00:52:55
			While I kept on talking and talking you must be thinking when is he going to finish?
		
00:52:57 --> 00:53:17
			Finish now Allah subhana wa tada Bless you all know Allah unite us as an omen, Allah grant us love
and the ability to clean the heart, my brothers and sisters Salah alone. Yes, it is a pillar of
Islam. But with that you need to make sure that your luck is also important.
		
00:53:19 --> 00:53:21
			Your character your conduct.
		
00:53:22 --> 00:53:26
			Your heart needs to be good and you need to know your relationship with others.
