			I want to greet the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu wasallam and all these companions I'm talking about
those who took part in the Battle of budder Wouldn't you like to meet them? Allah here? I want to
meet them. Hamza Ignace, Abdul Muttalib Radi Allahu and I can't wait to see him to meet him.

00:00:17 --> 00:00:49

			Our heroes they gave their lives so that we can sit here today. We can't even give up five P five P.
May Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us. So Allah praises them and says they love those who made
hijra and they give, they give that which they desperately need away, knowing that they need it.
While you feel owner Allah fusi him when can I be him Kasasa they prefer the others needs over their
own needs, even if they are desperate.

00:00:51 --> 00:00:57

			And then Allah caps it by saying, Why me you can show him hand I've seen him felt

00:00:59 --> 00:01:44

			he can move freely home, those who protect those who are protected from their own stinginess or
miserliness, the miserliness of their own knifes. They are the truly successful, those who are not
selfish or truly successful. When it's all about me, myself, and I can never be successful. When
you've empowered others, you empower not just your children and your family members, but you truly
empower as many people as you can. Wallahi you've earned your paradise. But when you're worried
about yourself alone, everything must be mine and mine. How much do you want? You've made the
billion we spoke about moments ago the Amin's was set Alhamdulillah after the billion What do you

00:01:44 --> 00:01:55

			want let someone else make another billion Alhamdulillah it's okay help them, give them set them up.
And this is how you will succeed. My brothers and sisters, the deen of Allah is amazing.

00:01:56 --> 00:02:16

			What Allah has blessed us with is amazing. Allah chose certain people. He praised them. He mentioned
them in the Quran. He spoke about their qualities, their sacrifices, he spoke about what they did so
that the Dean can get to us now. We need to learn from them in order to preserve the deen to
practice upon it and to convey it to others as we leave this world because

00:02:17 --> 00:02:24

			every single person you've inspired to do good is better for you than all the material items you
found on this earth.

00:02:26 --> 00:02:57

			In fact one narration says If Allah used you to guide a single person, it's better for you than from
marinara. Um, you know, what is harmony Nam? The most expensive and valuable and luxurious of the
mode of transport at the time was the RED camera. So Allah says through the lips of Nabi SallAllahu,
wasallam it's a hadith that it is better for you than the red camo. Today, perhaps the best mode of
transport the most luxurious What do you think it probably is say something. What's the best said?

00:02:59 --> 00:03:02

			Rolls Royce, I'm thinking of a a 380 or something. Come on.

00:03:04 --> 00:03:18

			We're thinking of what spaceship going to Mars. No, no What whatever it is, you know what? It's
endless. But at the same time, imagine better than that Allah saying just work on one person, one
person. If Allah has used you to guide one is better for you than all of this
