the martyrs. Their companions said, Yeah, rasool Allah, the prophets and the martyrs will envy some
people on the Day of Judgment because of the nearness to the Almighty Allah. They said yes, indeed.
They said this sffilm Nana described them to us who are those people very special ones. Instead
those people who love one another nausea Amina Baba LD come from various places, masha Allah may
Allah make us among them. You've come from Zimbabwe have come from Cairo, Egypt. And you've come

nearness to the Almighty Allah on the day of judgment on the day of horror and fear, will be envied
by the prophets, and by the messengers and by the shahada in Viet in a sense that they said we wish
we were in disposition. So we have this opportunity right now brothers and sisters, to love one
another for the sake of Allah and wait a minute since the messenger of allah sallallahu sallam said
whenever you love somebody for the sake of Allah you should inform them
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:48
			and even and Mudassar behind the camera, Allah He
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:50
			loves you.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:06:06
			And he also taught us when somebody tells you that love you for the sake of Allah how to reply, he
said you should say I had better Lydia but then if he made the one whom you love before his sake,
love you as well. So also have that one lady.
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:52
			One of the one of the important factors is when you love someone for the sake of Allah, there is no
haram that happens in the company of those people. So so that is the reason why it is so one of the
reasons why it is such a powerful gift of Allah because you end up with such good company that your
Salah happens, everything else happens and you remind each other of Allah subhanho wa Taala there is
no ulterior motive from the friendship and it keeps you in good companionship they say if you are in
the companionship of those who remind you of Allah subhanho wa Taala What better company can you
have? Would you like to continue outside come on La La La La Silla the eye of surah Tauba chapter

			That believers mashallah Mashallah. Mashallah, this is
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:29
			an amazing scenery for Mashallah. Mashallah. Mashallah. So this is Africa. This is Africa so
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:31
			look at how beautiful
		
00:07:34 --> 00:08:13
			women's minds do you remember in Indonesia we had the views not too far from this? Oh, yes. You mean
in body? Yes, yes Masha, there is a Hadith cozzia Salah house of loving one another for the sake of
Allah Allah, the process Santos, Allah on the Day of Judgment will actually be looking for those who
love each other for his sake. And we say a number to have guna be JLL. And what will be the reward
for those people once they are found? Allah will shelter them under his shade on the day in which
there'll be no shade except his shade. So now lawmakers among them the I mean, I mean, so that
verse, the believing males and females, they are protectors of one another. They enjoin that which
		
00:08:13 --> 00:09:00
			is good and forbid that which is bad. They establish their prayer and they give their charity those
are the ones whom Allah Almighty will have mercy on. So and they follow Allah and His Rasul Allah,
Allah Rasool, Allah Al Hamdulillah. So the signs of loving one another that if they see something
wrong with you, I wouldn't shy off to say hey, why Allah he swapped with me say, okay, there is no
restriction in the server 100 And if I know that there is something useful to do, I would give you a
boss both of you and I would recommend it to both of you, whether in the Dawa in your spirit of
dealing with the families in finance in whatever my preference with regards to airlines I flew this
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:48
			airline and I think it is better okay. So we shared with each other wherever is beneficial, and we
enjoy one another, what is good and we also forbid one another, again is what is evil. As for the
Almighty Allah say, all people are a loss except those who believe in Allah do good deeds, and in
June one another to the truth. And then as a result of taking upon yourself did YouTube in June in
honor to the truth, you got to understand that you have to be patient, be patient and the engine one
another two patients in Medina Amman, one will have slightly hottie will also be happy but also to
somebody may Allah make us among them. So here we will be speaking mainly to youth and the topics
		
00:09:48 --> 00:10:00
			are connected to the youth and you know, guiding them towards the balance in between the dean and
the dunya because so many people in their lives they get so engrossed
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:24
			Say I want to be successful, I want to be successful talking about business and wealth, but they
don't realize that we need to be reminded about the balance. I mean, you cannot just want for dunya
dunya dunya, you need to prepare for the era, no matter how young you are, a man will burn one as
the net we hire dunya while back, who saw you had to find?
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:27
			The rub because
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:30
			finding your own and
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:55
			it is so that wells and children are the adornment, the Zener the beauty of the life of this wall.
But the Almighty Allah says there is even what is better than having only the wealth of the world.
In addition to many children, which is the remaining good righteous deeds, whether particular words
of Africa are actually your own good doing
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:45
			with regards to the acts of worship, with regards to the way you earn your living, and you make
certain it is from lawful sources. And also with regards to the way you spend, knowing that there is
a hat. For the relatives, there is a hat, the right for the poor in your wealth, it is not that
you're doing them a favor, you are giving them their due rights and the more you give, the more it
certifies you as a true servant. So even even things related to the dunya could be considered as
active advance so even your business even your relationship with your friends and so on, can turn
into you sleep we had we had dinner together, then we went to sleep because we were so tired. And
		
00:11:45 --> 00:12:33
			how some of us we used to say indeed pee meter after someone on camera visible problematic. Not only
that, we anticipate the reward for the habit and for traveling for 24 hours visa vie Rila to give a
talk and to share good news with the Muslim news. But also when fresh when you sleep or eat a nice
meal or you have fun like this, masha Allah, you anticipate the reward from Allah by doing what
pleases the almighty so that you will receive a word not even for eating and drinking and sleeping.
But guess what? For getting intimate with your spouse, as a Prophet sallallahu Sallam spoke about it
literally what he said explicitly, were in for you all day, a hadith. So the
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:52
			Buddha is a polite word that refers to the private part indicating when most when a couple of what
Muslims get intimate have an intimate relationship. They will be awarded it's an app charity. The
Companions eyes grew wild look what
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:56
			this guy you know, that's
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:37
			so you have such a view or that he said, what if the person were to do it and haram. So to avoid,
you need to protect yourself from haram and to do it in a halal way regularize it would actually be
an act of worship because if you're getting a sin for doing it the wrong way, then you will get the
reward for doing it the right way or for abstaining. So when a person wants to commit harm, the
Hadith says if the intention of committing haram comes into your mind, and you hold back for the
sake of Allah, you are achieving a reward for holding the Allah and those who are married the if
they were provoked by looking at something haram, outside the process, haven't commanded us to go
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:37
			out and find our spouse.
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:44
			Hadith that you refer to which is narrated by our beloved not best is one, the most loved the Hadith
of
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:48
			the prophets of Allah on yourself, say,
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:52
			know that if you intend
		
00:13:53 --> 00:14:16
			to do a good deed, if you were to do it, the word begins from 10 times expired 10 times more, up to
700 times up to a limited number of times and I'll let you explain why there is a variation in the
magnitude of the reward. And if you didn't do it, like you you know, because you were traveling, you
skipped Saturday festival
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:50
			or because you extremely exhausted you weren't able to get off of the habit even though you sort of
your Allah, the Most Generous says Your reward is guaranteed of fasting and of the night prayer, He
will not be diminished. And if somebody if a believer intended to commit a sin, if you does it, it
will be only one set, unless if you repent, you will be erased. And if he doesn't do it, out of the
fear of Allah, he realizes that this is wrong in doing it. The Almighty Allah would record it for
him as a full good deed.
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:59
			You know, even if he does it, the pin is held for a while. If he repents it's not written and why
not?
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:00
			Why
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:42
			you repent, it's not written and if he doesn't repent, then it's written against him. So that's why
if someone commits a sin, it's very highly recommended that immediately they turned to Allah in
regret and repentance to say I shouldn't have done this and I seek the forgiveness of Allah and the
month of Ramadan is almost upon us to Allah and grant us extension of life until we witness the
blessed month of Ramadan and it could be for some people out there a training period for them to
insha Allah Allah experience the beauty of Ramadan even after Ramadan look a lot of notices in the
Quran on how much he loves his servants and how much he he actually encourages him to repent so that
		
00:15:42 --> 00:16:20
			they will be forgiven. Allah Almighty says, Allah who read who and the tuba Allah eco while you read
the Lavina Toby own Usher, however too angry or merely allowing the loss for you to repent. And
guess what? In surah October, there is a very beautiful verse, it's very alarming, because he will
show me and everyone else and everyone that whenever I repent for committing a sin, it is not
because I wanted to know rather because Allah loves me. So he inspired me to repent. So it says so
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:31
			only to boo. So he inspired them to repent, then he accepted the repentance. So actually, when
		
00:16:32 --> 00:17:19
			middle of me you can imagine fertile valley in the water. So when you inspire to repent, rejoice in
what it means that Allah loves you, because he wouldn't inspire any sinner to repent, only those
whom he loves. And he chooses for himself. He says, Come repent unto me. So if you're in a spire,
take advantage of that, and repent, you know, share what you said a couple of minutes ago, that when
you commit a sin, it will not be recorded right away. Yes, the way the prophets on the lesson and
described it is so lovely. He says, When you write when you when you do a good deed, he will be
written instantly. In a blink of a second, the angel of the good deeds will write it down. And then
		
00:17:19 --> 00:18:04
			when a person commits a sin, the angel who's in charge of recording the bad deeds is about to write
it down, but he has a boss. His boss is the angel of the good deeds. He says, Wait a minute, what
are you going to do is I'm going to report a sin and write it down against me. He says no, no, no,
no. Give him some time he might repent. So after a while, the engine will cause the baddies doesn't
forget. So he's about to do it again. But his boss is in September. Wait another, give him some
time. Give him some time. So for such a long time, and some people think that when Allah says male,
female or male falling in here are people naughty the point as I just pointed, but are people
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:27
			naughty? As we will young our parents and some people used to tell us this is rocky who's in charge
of recording the good deeds and this is added and this is wrong understand, but our key will not it
it is a description of both engines. So the angel here is rocky when it in the angel here is looking
at Rocky watching it anxiously waiting to
		
00:18:28 --> 00:19:12
			Yanni they do not forget. They do not neglect. They do they're not absent minded. They are anxiously
waiting to record everything. So let's make certain insha Allah that this angel will be held back is
taken a break a long vacation. Idea is to repent immediately to repent immediately. Firstly, we
don't plan and execute since because Allah Almighty obviously we fear Him and we are concerned about
our hereafter. But if we fall into sin because we are human being immediately we should turn to
Allah and say, Oh Allah forgive us, or bonobo alumna and for Santa Oh Allah we have wronged
ourselves. And if you don't forgive us, we're in them figuring out that Hannah and you don't have
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:45
			mercy upon the middle classes, and we will be from among the losers Alhamdulillah and who can hear
all those beautiful narrations about Allah subhanaw taala accepting the repentance of His servants
when they turn back to him and become depressed and sad and anxious. Let me conclude by saying this.
What my beloved Mufti mink just said that the whole idea is to swiftly repent doesn't at all mean
that if the sin was committed 20 years ago, you say, well, it's over. I cannot do anything about it.
No. Guess what? If you make
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:59
			and you pay to work with the intention of seeking forgiveness for a sin, which was committed 1520
years ago, it will be also raised, then included in the forgiveness. What matters brothers
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:03
			and sisters is what am yourself who and
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:39
			we're home near Allah Moon as almighty stated in Surah earlier Imran and they did not they do not
insist no persistence committing the sins while they know it's wrong they don't continue committing
the same livid the same sin basically I'll handle up my brothers and sisters a beautiful unemployed
session inshallah we're looking forward to recording another one perhaps later today or tomorrow,
preparation for Milan but we don't finish our unplug session without mentioning our brothers and
sisters who are struggling and suffering and
		
00:20:40 --> 00:21:25
			full of steam. May Allah subhanho wa Taala make it easy for them and may Allah Almighty grant them
