			Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:21
			Now I would like to greet the 1000s of people who are outside this hole so I don't want you to reply
me. I am addressing those who did not make it inside. A Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah.
		
00:00:28 --> 00:01:11
			I was waiting for the response for those from outside for it to be heard by us, but it's okay.
Smilla Rahmanir Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi wa sallahu wa sallahu wa salam O Allah ka La Mulana via Babu,
Allah Allah He was happy he was sending my beloved brothers, my sisters, my dears, sons and
daughters. We firstly commenced by praying for our brothers and sisters in Palestine For indeed, it
hurts our hearts. What is going on is unprecedented. We cannot imagine what is happening we did not
imagine it. We never believed it would happen in front of our eyes with no one doing much or
anything meaningful about it. May Allah protect them, may Allah be with them.
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:39
			May Allah Almighty use us to be able to help in whatever way possible to be able to alleviate their
struggles, even if it is only by raising our hands and making dua and may Allah subhanahu wa ALLAH
forgive our weakness as an ummah, Amin May Allah strengthen us as well. Why are you bad or wrong man
in Levine I am Shuna Allah home we have
		
00:01:41 --> 00:02:28
			the true worshipers of Allah are the ones who are steadfast. We are speaking about steadfastness
today. We've already heard two lectures. I am here to tell you that Allah is the Greatest Allah made
me He made you he made all of us he created creation. Allah Almighty is the highest, Allah Almighty
is the most kind. He is the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful, but at the same time, he also is
Severe in punishment. May Allah not punish us. May He forgive us. May He have mercy upon us. He says
in Surah Surah Furqan verse number 61. Allah Almighty says the Abba can carry Ledi gyla F is
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:34
			evil Uija Wi Fi has
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37
			Wacom
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			Mooney.
		
00:02:44 --> 00:03:43
			Glory be to Allah. Who is he? He is the one who put the great stars in the skies. You look at those
stars, each one of them is a planet. And do you know that the closest of those stars to us is four
and a half light years away? That's the closest star to us. What that means is at night, when you
look at the star, it is not there. You are looking at the light, it may not be there you are looking
at the light. That was four and a half years ago, it took four and a half years for that light to
come to your eyes. That is the distance between you and the closest of the stars. That is my Lord
who created this. And if that is the closest imagine how many millions of light years away are those
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:53
			stars that are further away. This is the power of Allah. So never ever think that oh man, you are
someone big and haughty. Allah says to us,
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:58
			our lamea one in San Juan, follow up on
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02
			offer for either who have also
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:58
			been dismantled see that we created him from a droplet of *, a droplet of *. And from that
droplet now he becomes big. He's a human he wants to argue he is so argumentative man, do you know
where you started off? Do you know where you came from? Do you know how it was you were a droplet of
liquid a droplet prior to that where were you? You don't even know you were with Allah. May Allah
Almighty grant us the ability to be humble. May Allah grant us the ability to get closer to him.
Fulfill your Salah it does not help Allah it will help you if you miss the salah fulfill it
immediately. Don't miss it. But if you do fulfill it as kappa ASAP as soon as possible by the word
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			of Allah subhanahu wa Tada.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:40
			So Allah is declaring his greatness by showing you he is the one glory between him who has placed
the great stars in the sky gyla his summer Ibu region. And you know what? Jaya Allah fie has Sirajul
will come on money run, depicting the sun and the moon. Allah says that burning lamp referring to
the sun and he has also placed the moon, the shining moon in the skies. All of that Allah created
for purposes some of them he explained to us, some he may not have explained to us, but we see the
movement of the day and the night. So Allah says, Do you know
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:44
			Subhan Allah
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			wa Jai Luffy has
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:58
			come out I'm Mooney Euro Wahoo. unleaded me, John Elena one.
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:01
			Lehmann,
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:07
			Amy. Come on the show cool.
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:13
			That's Allah. That's Allah. He made the night and the day.
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:27
			He made the night meet the day, the day meet the night. It keeps rotating that rotation. Allah
Almighty says for those who would like to ponder for those who would like to take heed
		
00:06:28 --> 00:07:08
			all those who want to show gratitude. Obviously, if you take heed, then you will be able to show
gratitude. Thank Allah. Thank Allah that he has placed you on earth. He's given you the opportunity
to see the day it's a new day. I owe him Salat al Fajr at the beginning of the day, because he gave
me the day. If he gave you midday, you owe him salata dog, if he gave you the afternoon, you owe him
Salah to the house. If he gave you the evening you owe him Marguerite if he gave you the night you
owe him Anisha that is Allah don't think it benefits Allah Allah He it benefits you. How can you
turn away from your Lord? Ya Are you?
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:14
			Son, Oh, my Lord can be a beacon carrying a levy.
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:43
			Gaffar Delock Oh man, what has deceived you away from your Lord, the Most honoring? What has
deceived you? Who do you think you are? Do you not believe you are going to return to Allah? Have
you not seen others returning to Allah prepare for that day? How do I prepare? Well, Allah says you
need to become a slave of Allah. You need to become a slave of the Most Merciful.
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:51
			Immediately after that, in the same surah Allah says, What a bad man in learning I am sure
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:54
			what either
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:58
			God who's
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:24
			amazing versus beautiful versus Allah says, a bad or rough man. One day I went to a school. And this
is a true story. I visited a madrasa and I told him who knows the meaning of a bad Rockman Alladhina
Yamuna Allah and the Honan is youngsters were just learning Arabic. So the one boy put up his hand
and he said, all people whose name is Abdul Rahman, they work properly on Earth.
		
00:08:25 --> 00:09:11
			So what do you mean all people whose name is Abdul Rahman, a bad man, he thought that is the plural.
So it must be the name of the people. It refers to all of us who claim to be worshipers of Allah. He
says, I am the most merciful, Allah the merciful. If you are a worshipper of Allah, truly, you
believe in His mercy. So you are the worshipper of the Most Merciful because it is only through the
mercy of Allah that you will get Janna. If that is the case, then you will walk on Earth, carry
yourself in an easy, humble, respectable manner. When you walk you don't stamp your feet, you don't
walk with the haughtiness you greet people you fulfill the rights of how when you walk, you interact
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:43
			with whoever you are supposed to end, you lower your gaze when you have to and so on. All this is in
the way you walk as a believer. How do you carry yourself? Today I am here How am I carrying myself?
How are you carrying yourself? May Allah Almighty grant us goodness, imagine we are worshipers of
the Most Merciful. We are worshippers of the one whose mercy will give us Jana. People say well, you
know how will we enter paradise? The answer is not through your deeds but through the mercy of
Allah.
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:57
			Not through your deeds through the mercy of Allah. So the question is, why should I do this? If I'm
only going to enter Paradise by the mercy of Allah and not with my deeds? It's a good question,
right?
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00
			If I'm only going to end
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:41
			to Paradise by the mercy of Allah and not with my deeds, why should I do deeds? Because it is
through those deeds that you will get the Mercy of Allah. That's what it is. You want the Mercy of
Allah, then do your deeds, do your best. Do you know what? There is no way that you can have 100%
perfection in your Ibadah Allah says, No problem did you do your best? Yes, I did my best, then
leave the rest to me. I will accept it from you and I will give you my mercy. Because with my mercy
you will enter Jannah if you had to enter Jannah with your Salah alone, without the Mercy of Allah,
your Salah might be rejected. It needs the mercy of Allah to be accepted because when you say Allahu
		
00:10:41 --> 00:11:01
			Akbar, how much concentration Do you have? Sometimes that is exactly when shaytan comes to tell you
something, minimum is you say Allahu Akbar. Next thing there is just one flight, one mosquito, you
know the sound of that mosquito. I don't want to make it here but you know what it is and it will
just come by your ear, you will end up slapping yourself in Salah.
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:25
			You will end up slapping yourself in Salah because the mosquito has taken your concentration and you
start thinking what's going on and then you realize either I didn't kill it. Oh there is another one
with the other year. La hawla wala Quwata illa Allah, Allah says My Mercy, you did you try your
best? Yes, I did. Well, then my mercy will be granted to you and you will enter Jannah with my mercy
may Allah grant us Jana.
		
00:11:27 --> 00:12:15
			What is our thought about hormonal Jackie Luna and who salah the true worshipers of the Most
Merciful when people address them in an arrogant, ignorant manner in a harsh way they just say
Salaam and peace. Don't argue with a fool. Don't create debate with someone who is harsh and abusive
in their ways and in what they say and so on. I want to tell you something more powerful today for
you and I to take heed although what Allah has said obviously it stands It is the highest. Allah
says when the ignorant address the worshipers of mine, they should just say Salaam and move on. Are
you an ignorant person who addresses others in harshness or with harshness? If that's the case you
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:18
			have something even bigger to correct.
		
00:12:19 --> 00:13:01
			It's easy for me to say when someone abuses you walk away or just say Salaam and keep going keep it
moving. The damage you will cause is more the damage you will cause is more by responding sometimes.
But what is more important for you to know is are you one of those cursed ones who abuses people?
Are you the one who hurts and harms others? If that's the case, oh you need to work on it today. You
need to work on it today. I don't want to use my tongue to abuse anyone don't talk about this one
and that one especially you don't know who is close to Allah. People talk about scholars today who
spend their lives calling towards Allah. You don't even know them personally sometimes. And they
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:34
			want to say things they want to type things they want to put things on the internet and Wallahi they
don't realize that abuse makes you a person who has distanced from Allah What if that person is the
slave of Allah or you know people, if they cry tears against the abuse that someone has served and
Allah will not allow those tears to come down for no reason, you will pay a price. Be careful when
someone is bleeding from their heart, whether it is a spouse, or a child or a parent or a friend or
whoever it may be.
		
00:13:35 --> 00:14:06
			If someone is bleeding in their heart because of something you did, Allah watches that and Allah
makes it happen and come sometimes when we are bleeding we say Oh Allah, don't punish this person
because of how they have made me feel. Why do we have to say that? Because if Allah's punishment
comes, sometimes they might wipe out someone who is close to you because of how they made you feel.
May Allah subhanahu wa taala make us not from among the abusers while we are talking about how to
deal with those who abused us revenue.
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:15
			So Allah Almighty says what Alladhina Joby tune and beam Sujatha Oh,
		
00:14:16 --> 00:15:00
			those who spend their nights those who spend their nights between prostration and standing in
prayer. I spend my night or part of my night in goodness, I want to tell you that is a high quality
What about us, we are not even regular with five daily Salah let alone the night prayer. Am I right
or wrong? You want the Mercy of Allah I am talking to you inviting you my brothers, my sisters, join

best prayers after the forum that you could engage in. And by the way, it is invitation only. Allah

00:15:00 --> 00:15:04
			When fulfill tahajjud It can't just happen like that. I want to I want to come.
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:15
			Allah invites you, your regular with your prayers, Allah Almighty facilitates it for you. He makes
it easy for you He allows your eyes to open,
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:50
			be it with or without the alarm by the way, he allows your eyes to open and what does he do? He
gives you the feeling within and the energy within to say let me get up. Let me do my wudu Let me
fulfill some prayer. Let me cry to Allah. This is the most blessing time Subhanallah that is from
Allah. That is from Allah may Allah strengthen us at least some time. Try it my brothers and
sisters. You won't regret it will change your life. Try it. Get up. Allah will strengthen you. My
brothers and sisters

			will leadin EBI tuna beams would
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:04
			be what ledee nya goon our banjos refashion.
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:10
			in Baja Gan of all my
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:14
			utmost Mustafa,
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:15
			among
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:58
			those who are praying to Allah to protect them from the torment of hellfire, imagine you are doing
tahajud you are walking steadfast on the earth you are humble you have good qualities still you are
worried Oh Allah don't cast me in hellfire. Hellfire is a very torment awful place. It is a very bad
and very, very difficult place to be in it is not a good about oh Allah protect me from this. That
is the dua that is being made. Then when Allah blesses you, when you seek forgiveness of Allah and
you do so far and you turn to Allah and you work hard in the dunya Allah will bless you with certain
things in this world. We have all been blessed. No one from amongst us is not blessed. We are
		
00:16:58 --> 00:16:59
			blessed,
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:40
			but to different levels. Allah blesses you. Today we are seated here. It's a blessing. I am standing
in front of you. It's a blessing. Allah will ask us about this blessing. I bless you in so many
ways. What did you do about it? That is Allah's system. When he gives you something he asks you
about it. I want to tell you, my brothers and sisters, it is not wrong. To want to have nice things
in this world. I want to have good clothing. I want to have a good car, I want to have a good house.
I want to have good children. I want to have good spouse, you know and so on. And you know, be
careful because some people here someone told me can you speak about polygamy? Can you speak about
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:40
			what
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:42
			about one?
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:45
			Polygamy? Can you speak about what?
		
00:17:46 --> 00:18:21
			See the sisters are saying the word the brothers in front of the sisters, they are so shy. They
don't even want to say the word because they know there was going to be trouble. If the video
catches me say polygamy. I remember there was a guy in an interview. You can find it on Google. They
were speaking in Arabic to him. He says So are you married? He says yes. How many? He says one he
says would you like to marry again? He says yes. 23451234. So then he said okay, Mashallah. Brothers
and sisters. Oh, the older viewers, as you see, he said, What are we live on? So it is no no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Did you see the clip? Yes, some of you have seen it. So the same thing
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:32
			happened today here in Kaduna, Aston Villa. And Avi, but no problem. You know, they say, be careful
of those who are silent. Those who talk Don't worry, they just talk. Allah subhanho wa taala,
forgive us.
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:37
			So the brother says, Will you talk about polygamy? I said, my brother.
		
00:18:38 --> 00:19:05
			May Allah Almighty strengthen us May Allah Almighty grant us ease and goodness, to be honest with
you. We are the people of Allah. And Allah Almighty wants us to move in a certain direction. If you
move in that direction, Wallah, he, you will be blessed by Allah in amazing ways. I was telling you
that many people want good things, they want nice things, they, it's not wrong to have this and
that.
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:23
			It's good. When you become greedy, it gets bad, when you become greedy, and you do not spend in the
Cause of Allah and you do not think of others then it becomes bad. So I told the brother who told me
to talk about polygamy I said you know what, one is the spouse?
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:27
			When there are many, the plural is what?
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:33
			No, no, no. What is the plural of mouse?
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:41
			So what is the plural of spouse? Spice? It becomes too spicy. You cannot handle it anymore.
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:59
			What happened to spice spice? What spice? I have more than one? Allahu Akbar. You know, that's what
happens. You need to be careful. If you want to do something, do it properly or don't do it. If you
want to do something, do it properly or don't do it. So when someone says what is the plural of Spa
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:15
			As you know, it's not spice it spouse, spouse says, By the way, may Allah Almighty protect us. There
are many more important topics to address than that particular one. However, my brothers and
sisters, do you even fulfill salah? That's the question.
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:37
			Do I was shocked to learn that there are good men who drink and commit adultery. I was shocked to
learn here in this country, Good men whom some of them say you know the man he's a friend of yours.
He knows you. But he drinks too much. He beats me. Drinking I can't imagine La hawla wala Quwata
illa biLlah Is it true?
		
00:20:38 --> 00:21:26
			Now the women are scared to say yes, love Akbar. May Allah subhanahu wa taala protect us from bad
habits. Allah Almighty will not allow you to grow if you have such major habits that don't bother
you. I couldn't believe it. They say no there is drinking adultery so much that is happening,
gambling people and yet Allah has blessed you what baraka and blessings do you want in your life
that will come as a punishment not as a blessing. May Allah protect our men and our women and our
children and our parents and our brothers and sisters, we need to have a concern for all of them. By
becoming steadfast ourselves. In Allah, Allah you will want you might be home in hot yoga you might
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:26
			be
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:40
			fusi him, you know the verse right? Allah will not change the condition of a nation until everyone
changes themselves. So that is why Allah Almighty tells us you know, no matter how much you are
doing,
		
00:21:41 --> 00:22:22
			when you have been blessed by Allah don't be wasteful and don't be miserly you must know how to
spend you must know what to spend on because one of the first things you are going to be asked when
you are leaving this earth is your money, your wealth Where did you get it from? Where did you spend
it long, long questions, you will have to recall everything and come up with it. I got this I got
that. I spent it here I spent it then how are you going to say I spent it on haram how? Oh Allah you
blessed me with a million and I spent it on haram. It's better to turn today in a stable far to
Allah, rather than face Allah and you don't have an answer. Because what does Allah say? Well,
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:26
			levena either. Falco lamb use free food.
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:34
			Can I buy enough early gumbo, those who are balanced when it comes to spending?
		
00:22:35 --> 00:23:06
			They are not wasteful. They are not miserly. They are balanced. That is a true believer. Are you
true believers, I believe we we think we are we claim we are we are striving towards it. So in sha
Allah, we can spend in a good way we can earn in a good way. Don't steal from others. Don't deceive
them. Don't cheat them in business, don't earn through corruption don't earn through that which is a
crime but earn from halal and when you earn from Halal Allah will give you the ability to spend on
halal
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:46
			and Allah Almighty will then grant you the beauty of living the world and while you are here content
content, because why my income is halal, it might be less, I am so blessed. I'm so blessed. It might
be less but I'm so blessed. It's not less actually we are eating drinking. We have a place we are
renting mashallah, we are happy we have a small, you know, Toyota 2000, no problem. We are moving
from one place to the other. I am thankful to Allah, you are a king. You know why you are a king?
Because you have contentment. You are a king riding your bicycle going on public transport, what do
they call those three wheelers? Here
		
00:23:47 --> 00:24:05
			Subhan Allah Subhana Allah He on a three wheeler, you see people sitting at the back they are so
happy with themselves alive, they are saw content. Sometimes you see a Rolls Royce and the guy is
looking like Sir, and he's driving. My brother go and see those sitting on the TV. They're just
there.
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:52
			How Allah blesses you, you are a king, my brother, you are a queen, my sister Allah has favored you
because you are content we are happy with how Allah has kept us I am not prepared to compare myself
with someone who has more than me in terms of material items of the world because it's going to
* away my contentment. Be careful of the grand the Instagram and the social media and the talks
that tick Be careful of them. Do you know why you may end up competing comparing your life with a
non existent person because it's photoshopped? And you are not happy? Because wow. Oh, she's
prettier. Oh, he's more handsome all the others. Oh, they look so you know, when couples come on
		
00:24:52 --> 00:25:00
			social media. You must remember they have to show you they have to what? Show? It's a show. That's
what they do.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:21
			They will hold hands and smile you don't know the wall that goes on behind the closed doors if you
knew that you would say a stove Rula rather I don't watch this because you're you're having small
arguments with the mother of your children and you think you know so bad look at this couple here.
Wallah. If you knew that couple they are looking at you in real life and saying I wish I was like
this brother.
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:32
			Because in their real life they are they are fighting it's just a business deal that they have
together in order to be on social media. Let's just do this and do this. We will make money.
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:36
			That's how it works. Nowadays I will do biller so thank Allah
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:44
			What levena una Allah He Ilan
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:55
			Junoon, Neff seletti have long been helpful, wala is known one may
		
00:25:58 --> 00:25:59
			you lie flat.
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:41
			Wire Newday V Mohana. Allah speaks about those who do not associate partners with Allah. This is by
far the most important thing that is mentioned in all these qualities, even though it may not be the
first one mentioned here because already Allah spoke about the bad man, it was expected of them
already to worship Allah alone, that's when they are considered the bad or rough man. But here Allah
is repeating it because of how serious the matter is. And he says, Those who do not associate
partners with Allah in worship at all.
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:45
			One of the unique things about Islam
		
00:26:46 --> 00:27:10
			and the most attractive teaching of Islam today, that is driving people towards Islam is your
personal relationship directly with Allah. Yesterday, I was speaking to someone and talking about
the different faiths and how the Christian say Jesus is our personal Savior. Do you have a personal
Savior? Yes, I do. The Lord of Jesus is my personal savior.
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:54
			He is my personal savior, the creator of myself and entire creation is my personal savior. I have a
personal relationship with him, I talk to him, I know him, he knows me and we talk and he tells me
his message. I have it in front of me but I constantly complain to him about my weakness and seek
forgiveness directly from him. He is Allah. That's why Allah says, Love to shrimp dilla don't
associate partners with Allah, you are a worship and we made you worship us alone, alone. Then come,
if you worship us alone and come, we might ignore everything else and give you paradise. That's what
Allah says. You know the verse isn't it?
		
00:27:56 --> 00:28:32
			So this is what Allah subhanho wa Taala is telling us Do not commit murder, same verse, true
worshippers of Allah, they don't kill they don't commit murder, committing murder, you know, you and
I know is not allowed, in fact to kill yourself is also impermissible. It is called Suicide. It's
haram. You cannot take your own life away. Allah gave you the life and let Allah choose when he's
going to take it away. You don't come in and say right, I need to die. Okay, guys, salaam alaikum.
I'm going okay, there we are, and then you are gone. That doesn't work that way. Allah gave you the
life Allah will take it away. You don't commit murder and you don't commit suicide as well. And on
		
00:28:32 --> 00:29:10
			top of that, Allah says, they do not commit adultery. Now that is a very important aspect because
adultery comes in many stages. May Allah protect all of us from it. The worst of it is the final bit
where there is adultery physical connection between the male and the female. Allah Almighty giving
hope to those who have already fallen in that sin tells us that the the these sin and the punishment
is multiplied, except for those who seek forgiveness of Allah.
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:16
			Except for those who seek forgiveness of Allah. Now, there are two ways of seeking forgiveness.
Number one,
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:46
			you seek forgiveness of Allah, you have repented, you have regretted you have promised not to do it
again and so on and so forth. But your entire life did not change only that one aspect changed. It
stopped ALLAH forgive it and so on. So your sin was forgiven and you are moving on in life. Your
life did not actually improve in other spheres. That's forgiveness, ALLAH forgive you. Okay, you
didn't repeat. But there is something higher than that. And today I want to invite you to this.
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:48
			In
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:56
			our iman our Amina, Imma know Saudi ha Did you hear that? In
		
00:29:59 --> 00:29:59
			our army
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:27
			Lamelo Saly ha three things are mentioned Toba Eman and doing good deeds after that. So my life
changed. I committed the sin. I asked Allah's forgiveness. I stopped the sin but I was so
embarrassed that my whole life changed. I became more regular. I changed so many things in my life
because of Allah Allah Allah alone. Allah says, For all
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:35
			eager you but Dino Allah who say ye Diem has
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:48
			those are the ones the bad we will take it and convert it into good because why they change their
whole life because of us.
		
00:30:50 --> 00:31:19
			The sin how many people they come to Allah because of a negative thing that happened in their lives,
how many people they change their life because something negative happened to Eve Allah brought you
closer to him through something that you repented from? Allah says, oh, we'll forgive the sin that
is one thing, but because you repented you believe correctly, you did good deeds. Here you are you
but dill Allahu sejati masala what kind of Allah who got fooled and Rahim Allah
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:32
			Subhana Allah. When you repent to Allah, Allah is the One who accepts that it goes to Allah you seek
Allah's forgiveness and it goes to Allah, you want to ask for help us from Allah
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:36
			is a standard devastating biller.
		
00:31:37 --> 00:32:06
			When you want to seek seek from ALLAH, seek from Allah will open your door speak to your Lord, you
know, he heard you Allah He He heard you believe it in your heart, he heard me if he has delayed
something, it was better for you. And if Allah Almighty has given to you quickly, perhaps it was
better for you ask him Oh Allah, I don't know the future. I want this. I asked you for this. If you
know it's better for me, give me if it's not better for me Do not give me so when he doesn't give
you you are still a happy person. You know, that was Allah He saved me from something.
		
00:32:08 --> 00:32:39
			What Lavina eliasch Her don't assume Rama, either my movie love women Rukia Rama, those who do not
bear false witness, those who do not bear false witness, and those whom when they pass through that
which is futile. When they come across that which is futile, they just pass through. You don't waste
time with that. Those are topics on their own in sha Allah, I pray that Allah protect us from all
these evil things and he has mentioned here and ask Allah and continue to pray to Allah.
		
00:32:40 --> 00:32:45
			I want to mention one of the last qualities here. Allah says,
		
00:32:47 --> 00:32:50
			well, levena ila Kilbey
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:53
			beam lamea
		
00:32:56 --> 00:33:03
			omiana. It's not the last one, but it's one of the last ones where Allah says, Those who constantly
call out to Allah.
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:07
			Know, those who
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:11
			those whom,
		
00:33:13 --> 00:33:18
			when they are reminded of Allah, they don't turn a blind eye or a deaf ear.
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:23
			When they are reminded of Allah, they take him
		
00:33:24 --> 00:34:02
			they consider the reminder, a gift today we are reminding each other it's not like I don't need what
I'm saying I need it to. We are reminding each other and you probably know what I'm saying but we
are reading it because Allah says that kill for in vigra 10 Fowl mumineen remind for the reminding
definitely benefits the believers. That's why we are reminding each other so when you are reminded
you take it as a bonus a gift of Allah, I thank Allah someone came to me to remind me I was just
faltering now I can renew. You know, when I was little, I used to do toughies my father, mashallah
he believed in, you know, he believed in
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:49
			that's how we became half in and that's where we are. That's why we are where we are today. I don't
think they I don't think that they always let me worry better. Right. I think there are probably
better ways of disciplining children today, right? Because today if I just take my phone away from
my little one Wallahi I will get whatever I want done. It's it's more if you say, Can I take your
phone away? Or can I beat you? I'm only use a beat me. Am I right? Beat me buddy. So it shows you
what is more painful. Right? So what happened when I was little? My father, if he traveled somewhere
when he comes back? Usually I was playing while he was away. So I know. He tells me Do you know your
		
00:34:49 --> 00:34:51
			work or do we need to charge the battery?
		
00:34:53 --> 00:34:59
			Do you know your work or do we need to charge the battery and I just tell him I think we need to
charge the battery
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:40
			See because it means I was playing while you were away. Allah Almighty, a very higher example of a
totally different nature But time and again he reminds us to recharge our batteries to say you
faulted you needed another reminder you got a boost that's why every Friday go to the masjid early
and listen to what the Imam is saying because it is another boost until the next Friday inshallah
you get another boost and another boost and so on. These boosts are good, you must attend lectures,
no matter who is the one speaking if they are legitimate and they are going to speak Quran, sunnah,
and so on good things, listen to them Go you might hear a word that will change your entire life and
		
00:35:40 --> 00:35:42
			it will give you general principles.
		
00:35:44 --> 00:35:52
			So that's why at the end Allah subhanho wa Taala says, well let me know your poor Luna Rob BANA
habla Lana, I mean as wodgina
		
00:35:53 --> 00:36:17
			Tina burada Yun wa Nalli muda Tina imaa. Those who constantly make a dua to Allah they call out to
Allah panna habla and I mean as wodgina Oh ALLAH I'm not worried about myself alone. I'm worried
about a whole group of people, Oh Allah, grant me from my spouse and my children, my offspring, my
family members, who will be the coolness of my eyes.
		
00:36:20 --> 00:36:33
			And make us leaders of the righteous make us pious make us people who are leaders calling towards
you and close to you. Allah Almighty will grant you if you pray towards something and work towards
it. Allah will open the dose
		
00:36:34 --> 00:36:36

00:36:41 --> 00:36:49
			Sabo well he will not gonna feel that he yet room was Allah.
		
00:36:52 --> 00:37:13
			Allah tells us those are the ones because of their support and patience, we will give them a Morpha
which is a special place in Jannah, to infidels. That's what Allah says, which is only good for
because of their summer and they will be greeted during Salaam and imagine you are greeted, wherever
you are. Go wherever you are going.
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:21
			You are greeted with peace, peace, peace, no need to worry today no fear, no sadness, nothing.
		
00:37:22 --> 00:37:27

overshot by seven minutes. But I think Kaduna can forgive me.

made this happen. May Allah Almighty may Allah Almighty,
		
00:37:53 --> 00:37:57

Jannah. And may Allah gather us all, as he gathered us here today
		
00:38:13 --> 00:38:14
			in Jannah.
		
00:38:15 --> 00:38:27
			And the only difference is May Allah gather those who are outside this hall, listening here also
with us inside Jinja two filters.
		
00:38:29 --> 00:38:47
