In the name of Allah subhanho wa Taala, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

Allah,
Allah Allah, he was happy in his household, his
love, bless every one of you who haven't been fitting in all morning, who have,
who have been
in business beauty to
hear this beautiful place where I am.
Because this is this
is easy for me to go into my area,
I would like
to the whole day just for one hour
to give us all the excuse me, gives me and my team for so long here wasting a lot
of your good deeds and
I want to start off
by saying my brother
when may be made of who I am.
Enough is enough
that it will
go a little bit larger.
And maybe
with some form of brain we don't need
numbers because
because because
because
in order to be moved by law,
you would not know me.
Power is
the power of the word of Allah, the power of the words
in his
glory.
The topic today we have is really sexting.
And I'd like to get your take into the topic.
When we were born, it was
Joe's parents, who would be the mean of us.
He wouldn't be my father My mother
chosen.
Allah has declared
that you show
your show
your show.
Why? Because
he chose the means that the guy has no say
for a short space of time, because to your parents because your parents because your parents look after them.
To be easy. Do you know why when your mother,
your mother,
your father had to go out to work and provide your mother.
If they addressed you, perhaps you would not survive.
Good
evening.
Do not say
to them, don't say
Forgive me. I may have heard
where we may have been.
However, from an early age, we will make
our own. We are talking here about
this Yes, I will get it much cheaper.
But I'd like to start off by
family. In my family, there will be differences.
How do I treat Allah?
So Allah subhanho wa Taala
if you're
going to try
to transgress the law, you
feel like you don't.
But you continue living with me.
Which means you don't have to obey.
Many people.
Sometimes you know, by
no way not at all.
For you,
you will respect your parents you will,
you will look after them. You will.
You will, you will,
you will be
very
time
when
you grew up together, you have
comments. What happened is differences of opinion.
As we grow older,
from a young age
you have
you don't need to be violent.
What are
those who are
the first people related to you, your family,
your relatives? Do you know
to try
to agree,
to disagree, to agree to disagree.
I call on Him today while we are addressing the matter of witnesses
to resolve your message.
If you have a problem with your brother, your sister,
your parents, perhaps your religious
warmongers,
we promote
violence.
Can you go home, resolve your problems?
Do you want to

wherever
you need us
What is the meaning of the
medium
right
but
regarding
those who
have abused abuse against you those who abuse
words what should you do
regarding what you know
called me a dog.
Now you know the word dog it can be used depending on how long
it can
use
sometimes you know people they might recall someone
because of the relationship with the dog
a dog
but
it depends how you see
go home today.
I remember calling
honey
My darling
that is
to call the wife
blush blush
which will be the one on the road
to Panama.
So, going back,
were back.
Back
when I talked a little
Boy calling you a dog

No need to come. Because
you don't need to be

to try
you to try
to make you react in a bad way to propose to you.
Because
you will be exactly where they want you be, you will be
so selfish.
Maybe you become like
that a little bit broader
in your community.
We come to the Gambia, Mashallah.
There are so many leaves that
so many

the government.
Every one of us
is

across the globe, we will connect

everyone drown.
So, we are from the project.
According to the
and if that is the case, I relate to you very closely,
very closely. It is an honor to be related to the

but within the own family starting with your spouse and your children, your parents.
You will

we go.
We know just like
today,
every single human being has exactly the right.
goals you
in another way,
in another direction.
But there is another
section
that they have to be.
Did you revisit that?
Because
it's not going to help at all, when you don't respect people who deal with you.
No problem. If you
don't have to convince me to sell your product, you know, when you walk through the market, people will come to you and tell you, you know what, I want you to buy this and you tell them why they will start explaining to you why,
you know, you have something.
For example, when you want to sell a product in the market, you have
to go around convincing people live the product,
whether it's in the medical field, whether it's food, whatever else
you have,
they will go to the doctor and convince him, if you have the gift, you sell them the product. And
they will speak up for you and ask you questions, you need to respond, but they did not buy your product. What happened? Do you become angry and upset?
You're not buying my product.
I'm not talking to you again.
You need to convince them to say, look, this is the product. I really believe this. They
think your product is good enough, you've got to go back to the drawing room. And look, again, you've made a mistake.
You know what? It's bracing at this point, because it's right here. You need to listen, you need to correct yourself.
So Panama, why am I saying all over this?
Because ultimately, we go back to the issue of faith and religion. Just like you have the right. If you want to talk to others in a beautiful way, convince them, talk to them, like you're marketing your product. You will sell them the product.
People I wish.
I wish whoever made me that's the only one that wishes and I wish him directly
on the ground only he who has made me and I put my head on the ground only
because too
many people will be convinced to say yes. We won't worship anything besides me who makes us
but some might not be convinced. They still want to say no, no, no, no. We want to wish something else. Well if they were convinced
and even when we need
them in the first place.
He made them in the first account will be just like yours with your account. It was a lot.
If you want to believe
and everybody will be having everybody else they will be here for that.
Imagine if you had to punch people who disagreed with me. We would have punching happening right now. We have so many people look at the wonderful talent here. If we disagree
look at how
because it's highly recommended to call each other brother and sister because you are brothers and sisters.
Number one in humanity
than anything else. But even if your
brothers and sisters in humanity
makes you believe that
you have to be violent, in order to propagate what you have, in order to promote what you have no matter
the duty of the messenger
none other than conveying the message.
It conveys the message and you know what
your duty is to convey the message and our duty is to take account, know what will happen, we know what has happened, we will, we will decide the editing we will decide what we want to do. Convincing is in the hands of Allah we only try, we only try.
So,
let's go back to the teachings that we have the beautiful teachings of Islam, the great teachings
of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him
when people have
take a look at
the day when we were in the largest numbers market.
Beautiful, beautiful.
To put you into perspective, and you may know this, but for those who may not remember,
the most cynics were driven out of their home
from Africa, they were driven out of their homes, their property was taken, they will be killed one after the other. They made the payment to the migration going through Madina, munawwara going through Madina, munawwara Subhan Allah, when they got Medina, they found the beautiful brothers and sisters, who gave them to come to visit.
And after some time, they wanted to go back home to get their property and to go back to where they belong.
So there were several wars that took place anything in something known as
the victory of
the most
powerful
and the people have.
We have harmed them, we have killed them, we have driven them out of our homes. And today they are coming back. We are not
we are not
so as
with large army marches.
The people when
they ask the question, What was the question?
In fact, before they asked the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him as
he says.
Now, obviously, they're all standing there listening. They all know what they've done.
What do you think I'm going to do to you today? What do you really think is going to happen to you today? Now, I'm quite sure that if a person has harmed and killed and thrown people out in the wild, and so on, and then the married couple,
and he asked you, what do you think I'm going to do to you today? What will you say? What will they say? How do you think they would have thought they must have been thinking so many things.
But they knew that this was a great man. And
he
wants to tell you what the Prophet Joseph Smith
told his brothers,
no retribution against you today. You are all free to go there will be no revenge.
from a position of
authority, the ability to execute things, the ability to execute
the ability to harm to cause harm.
Merci
merci
Am I following he was at the mercy to Mexico following he was sending
people home and he
hates
in the name of the one who was
at the mercy
to mankind impact to the world
do you
know
who
am I?
Have my
remember my brother
in law, Mashallah. I'm talking to a crowd, vast majority Muslim. And we welcome those of our brothers and sisters.
I'm sure you will take a Muslim today.
But my brothers and sisters, think every time you do things, am I doing this the way that is the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him was here he would be proud of it. Bearing in mind the beautiful qualities he had, I will always tell brothers and sisters.
Can
you be the color
of the fish? That was brought to you by Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam given by Allah
the Prophet Muhammad peace? See you, you would not have to run away. Wow, did you hear that? And this does not apply only to the females, we have a problem. People like to say the women are not dressed appropriately I
also need help.
How many of our young brothers unfortunately
and
and they think when they see a woman, look at this lady, she's probably brother.
To start
it's a reality.
We look at others without realizing the feeling is.
So the matter of both women and men.
When
people are free to dress how
we say yes, but your choice come at a price that the price you will pay it in your own life. You choose to dress in a way this is your choice, especially if you're throwing indeed
but we are asking you to dress
in the way that they would not be embarrassed if the methods you had to come here today to find a law
imaginative
we haven't been the company of
only men we say
we say we want the intercession of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, we want it on the Day of Judgment, he will be speaking on behalf of people. So we think Oh Allah give us an image we
have a person whom
we will embarrass.
Surely that is enough today we can improve our dress code in Sharla both male and female, we can improve our dress code for the sake of Allah, you will find the calmness you will find the good liveness
so when we talk about these things, when we talk about following your religion
when we say
we are not talking about giving up your opinions, giving up your faith in order to appease everybody.
I know
for sure
because
sorry,
passport,
okay,
we want to confirm something, okay. I expect that to happen. Mashallah here in the Gambia.
happened
I don't even know what happened. I just was received by a vehicle right at the door of the brain and I was Mashallah, Mashallah.
And I want to thank your government, your leadership, and I really have my gratitude to every one of you
might be just like yours, I'm sure you can hear it in my voice. And that's why I'm standing I don't even know how long I've spoken for and that becomes irrelevant because I was told at 10 o'clock this morning, there are people already at the stadium, you know what I said in
one watching
10 in the morning.
And they already did.
And I was following what was going on through the night.
And I saw some of our sisters
and
medical help
from the red
and the Red Cross, mela,
mela and all those who have been involved with security and we have so much more.
I really pray that Allah give us
and that brings me to my next point.
paradise paradise.
You shall have in it anything that is?
Switch to the high. Show me yo.
You see something you like it? Is yours. But that's not the case. So that is how we get paradise.
Have you ever thought of
that?
Have you ever asked yourself?
The garden?
The Wizard of Oz which is great.
Imagine how massive it is. But today what happens?
Don't know how to deal with our differences?
And everyone calls each other?
If it is in our hands.
No wonder why just me.
You think only for you.
You will be surprised
when we get your judgment. We will do all sorts of people in general.
people.
People will
judge you that belongs to a law.
The Most Merciful, the most magnificent, the most forgiving, the most compassionate, the most loving.
Have you thought of? When you open it? You read the word, the first Word
In the Name of Allah.
The Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
that's why
Muhammad Allah.
You want the mercy of
the waste
and abuse and the violence and
use
Be merciful alone will give you mercy
on you in another problem.
A lot of work
on those on the phone
on other people allegedly,
allegedly say,
Allah will not have mercy upon
others on other human beings. So do you want the mercy of Allah
be merciful upon all,
continue calling towards goodness and I promise you, the most powerful way to call people towards goodness is through your character and your
character.
People go away,
boom in how
it is because of the mercy of Allah.
And
it is because of the mercy of Allah that you have leniency and compassion.
So if you want to know if a law has had mercy on you ask yourself
how compassionate am I?
If you're compassionate,
it is the mercy of Allah on you. When you lack compassion, it is the same
as
if you were harsh and hard hearted
from around you, they wouldn't be around with you. So don't be harsh. Don't be hard.
Because no one wants to talk to you.
You know, I emails on a daily basis from so many people. Do you want to know what is the biggest problem?
The biggest problem we are facing today.
Divorce marital relations, people marriage One week later. I know my case a few weeks ago, of a couple who got married.
As they were walking out of the party, there was an argument of which charge to go into
divorce.
When they ask,
they'll probably
never forgive us.
Don't find
my brothers and sisters without cleaning the house, you will never be able to
clean the house and I will help you. Because the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him.
Behold, in the body of flesh and organs, it is
the whole body will be pure and good. And it is
up there then the disease address
is the heart. It's the heart.
The mercy
already the disagreement is minimized.
There are so many
things that are happening. We are past 2 billion on the globe.
It doesn't mean the rest of the billions of people know
but sometimes the way the media portrays does it make us look like that?
So
if you take a look at
the compassion we're supposed to be having
when
we would definitely be able to reload the metrics without good character and people will generally believe what is being added by the media. Imagine if your character
and the people who don't like see you.
And we look at
these people are so arrogant. They don't even they don't even really they don't even acknowledge they are so hot. The way they talk.
They don't say thank you. They don't say please, they don't greet you with morning, good afternoon, etc, etc. What happens is they start thinking to themselves, you know what is the Bad Religion, but the Prophet Muhammad
has asked us to be humble, to be humble.
If you're not humble, you want the key. The more humble you are, the happier you will be, the more content you will be, no matter who you are, no matter how powerful you are, no matter what you have, no matter how good looking you might be, no matter how popular you are,
you
know,
when the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him was asked the question, the question was,
what are the qualities?
That's why on Friday here,
the issue of
the day today, who am I?
Very interesting, excuse me, who am I?
Can I tell you who I am?
Zero nothing, I have no value
compared to others,
the value belongs to Allah. Imagine if you
value
your goods.
What should happen to you in your control?
only and only in the control of a law?
Will you be more excited to be allowed to communicate with your mission?
Can you
reality I have to say
nothing. Compared to what we need to do. There is no competitors.
If you truly want to sacrifice even
today,
you're a winner.
I apologize to you, I'm sorry. But the reality that
you must
if someone were to ask you who is more important Allah or the cheque that came from Zimbabwe?
Because there is no competitors. You cannot bring those two in one sentence. Never.
So when I'm asking you to develop I'm asking you to develop for the sake of Allah. I'm asking you to each other for the sake of Allah. I'm not inviting you to
help yourself by getting close to the one who made you.
You will be the happiest person you will get.
That is just your paradigm.
Change.
He says, What would you like?
If we were to give you the whole world and whatever is in it for yourself?
All the Worlds
whatever was on the earth, and the person says yes.
You have that multiply, multiply the game and the game.
yourself.
That is the last witness to intergender
imagined zones in the
imagined zones.
We don't have a home
invasion
there.
Why? Because they will have
How long are you going to live?
The meaning of our life.
We will
go ago, but only 50 years.
So those
are the successful ones. Truly. That doesn't mean that we boast ourselves from this world. We also like to have good things, we want food, we want clothing, we want so many other things. We want nice things as well, for lots of hands on what Allah allows that on condition that you respect people. You respect everyone, you know, we deal with the non Muslims, we deal with those with
when we want to buy things when we want to sell things, when we want to buy food when we for example, would like to buy a car or something else.
They're buying from us. So what we buy and resell. for what reasons because
that's why I need to make ends meet I need to get the message.
I want to ask you a question. What is more important, you won't be like your deed or your
your materialistic life or your religion. Your religion is far more important. If you can tolerate someone
or acknowledge
that you have your duty, don't you think it's more important to respect them?
If I buy a bottle of water from someone
what happens if I drink the water?
Mashallah, I might say thank you, even
if they buy from me, I'm happy.
I'm happy. Well, I have a product more important than what it is. Maybe it's a product, I need to market it.
Because
you know what it is?
uses you to guide one person, it's better for you.
When you talk to people,
because it's
your parents
that
can give you in terms of material
better?
And if that's the case, what about the Muslims amongst each other?
Do we love each other? Do we care for each other?
Meaning you won't enter until you believe and you're not
until you love one another.
That was a prophet peace be upon him says I sincerely asked you today
Do you really love one another? Do we really love one another?
With a
powerful,
powerful
Allah, My major is Allah.
Once we say that, we are ready.
We love each other. We care for each other. We will.
So many other methods but don't forget you have some common
spices
fall under the flag. We fall under that statement.
We fall under the duty to work
we fall under
that they fall under
Hands of Allah subhanho wa Taala
you try and allow groaning guidance, and a lot of others guidance as well.
To give them guidance.
Because those who are afraid will not harm you, if you are likely
to develop ourselves.
So I call
each other to greet each other,
something so important.
Should I show you something, if you were to do it, it would increase the love between you
among you
and not just the beginning, the peace, the goodness, when you say
it means I pray to Allah that
that's what it means.
Peace see upon you. That's why my brothers and sisters here in the Gambia, when you
read from your heart,
read from your heart.
Because you are
when you want to be you know, when people are taking a photo, they take a fee
for
the
machine.
But unfortunately people today
have you heard
me?
Do
you reply?
Do you really think we have time to hate on each other?
Do you really think we're better at each other and creating problems?
The answer is no. be genuine. Understand
that Allah has created the heart and He wants you to make any effort to do.
So this is what the prophet peace be upon him says you are not considered to love one another. And if you want to increase between yourself, you must
complete my brothers and sisters I encourage you strongly to greet each other to reply.
To think
five inches higher than hurts. So we
know you reply no matter who you are, and alone. He will give you
so my brothers and sisters you notice that the differences we have between us today for a common cause we have a tie. I'm sure
there are people from so many different walks of life.
But we have come together to listen to a good word. Why can't we come together for the sake of Allah, Allah
each other and once again, we are not calling or compromising your face. No. We are not asking you to give up something to make people happy. No. You don't just change up your beard. You don't have to remove your job.
Because
Because you will never ever
today,
tomorrow,
the following day to
be an animal, it's not going to stop.
So you believe what you have to let
people who abuse anything.
We don't do that.
We forgive you.
Because we want peace.
And we continue encouraging each other to be able to achieve the peace.
The differences we have in pride, the differences we have, embrace the differences we have as human beings
against one another,
for recognition,
another, I look at you immediately I know who you are.
That's why we will
say we will.
And I will call you 65389 to five please come forward. And then you will come because a big one, because there are many, many you would have.
But we have made
and people recognize us.
tall and
wide and narrow.
Remember, the most common, the most
common
is he or she who is the closest to Allah in piety.
You're close to Allah Subhana Allah, you are a better person in the eyes of Allah, you will find that
you might
be no one knows. Anyone who thinks
I'm a pirate.
That's the beginning of the end.
Because it makes you humble, it makes you concerned.
He was
great. But with us, we are always
when people think
perhaps you already
know.
How can you tell
how you've lost?
Hello, forgive us.
We don't need to take that away. We need to get it by ourselves.
So my brothers and sisters, I hope we can make those two promises today. It is a very, very big day for us. Why?
Because whenever people gather, in order to live
in order to
law to bring a law to learn
revelation, they are
at the mercy of Allah.
Let's change the world.
Let's
go back home and we say well, it was a good day it was a it was a sunny day, but
nothing crazy. You didn't become a better person. You didn't change yourself. You need to smile more you need to go home and cause your problems with your spouse, your children, your family, your neighbors and the others. The proper
I
don't like
going home today. And we don't care, the whole community is testing us
and the government,
us, the one who is who
will not enter Paradise,
the one who
will not enter Paradise.
Amazing.
It goes to show, if you want a good life, you need to make sure you are having a good life from you,
then you have a good life and the next one.
And we will all live together
to be violent to one another.
The world of
chaos and
the opposite.
At the beginning, I told you that I will tell you about the job, remember.
And
depending on how you say returns, don't
let these inform you of that job.
We are
on a hot day
looking for water.
And
he decided to go down as a human being he went down, he drives
people around but
what did you notice? What did he notice?
He told you
before I
do something about it. Now you and I know.
When you
regulations governing your job, you need to make sure you understand you need to make sure you know you need to make sure yes, you have to be kind to the door you have to be good to the door. But you need to know your limits as well.
If you saw a dog on your way home, what would you do? Many of us would walk the other way right?
When you walk the other way.
So a dog
and
this is known as SST as it was prior to me drinking your water. Let me go back into the web. And he knew there is no way of getting the water because
what did he do?
He took out
he was not proud. He was not arrogant. He didn't let us
know.

Water
Are you prepared?
While I say then I will find it
with my own shoes. Why should I ask you let me talk about myself. I will find it difficult with my own shoes. I think I will.
But I just want to show you what
he fooled his own that
he changed the world.
A man received forgiveness because
of the world.
Forget about
what's your value of you
to
reach out to the people
who used to say,
I don't know.
Good go to him and seek in a soft way. Perhaps he might remember perhaps he might be more conscious. Or he might, he might. He might realize him in a dishonest way.
Allah is
someone who is the highest of the Prophet Moses.
He
goes to him
so strongly.
You see, we've got
we've seen
our brothers.
Some of you may be nodding your head
in our house

Take a look at this.
Why do we
Why do we really want
to
complaining
that
the children were
throwing stones and you know what
we can do
right now.
And the people must be thinking

Imagine thinking in my own mind that the creation is calling out to a law regarding people who have low
blood
you
Oh Allah guide people
look at how easy
it is to Allah you guys.
You
have to come to us to say you will not be harmed in that way.

So,
how many of us have made for people who have

the problem with us when we deal with someone you know,

If you want to have your own nation here today, which is probably one of the
