00:00:06 --> 00:00:10

			Allah has indeed favored us. I am Yusuf,
		

00:00:10 --> 00:00:11

			this is my brother. Allah
		

00:00:12 --> 00:00:13

			has favored
		

00:00:13 --> 00:00:14

			us.
		

00:00:15 --> 00:00:16

			Wow.
		

00:00:17 --> 00:00:18

			Inna whomayataki
		

00:00:19 --> 00:00:20

			wa yasbirfa'in
		

00:00:22 --> 00:00:22

			Allah
		

00:00:26 --> 00:00:27

			Indeed
		

00:00:27 --> 00:00:28

			the one
		

00:00:29 --> 00:00:31

			who has developed the correct relation with Allah,
		

00:00:31 --> 00:00:33

			meaning developed their taqwa,
		

00:00:34 --> 00:00:35

			consciousness of Allah.
		

00:00:36 --> 00:00:37

			And the one
		

00:00:37 --> 00:00:38

			who is patient.
		

00:00:39 --> 00:00:42

			Those are the 2 qualities you need. Patience,
		

00:00:42 --> 00:00:44

			which means it's gonna take some time.
		

00:00:44 --> 00:00:46

			And taqwa, steadfastness.
		

00:00:47 --> 00:00:50

			Consciousness of Allah. I always say taqwa, the
		

00:00:50 --> 00:00:52

			deeper meaning of it is to develop the
		

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54

			correct relationship with Allah that will save you
		

00:00:54 --> 00:00:57

			from hellfire. Grant you entry into Jannah insha'Allah.
		

00:00:58 --> 00:01:00

			What will happen to those who have sabr
		

00:01:00 --> 00:01:01

			and taqwa?
		

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04

			This man is telling them,
		

00:01:05 --> 00:01:05

			Allah
		

00:01:06 --> 00:01:07

			will never waste
		

00:01:08 --> 00:01:09

			the reward
		

00:01:10 --> 00:01:12

			of those who do good, which means goodness
		

00:01:12 --> 00:01:13

			is in those two things.
		

00:01:14 --> 00:01:17

			My brothers and sisters. Whatever you're going through,
		

00:01:18 --> 00:01:21

			be conscious of Allah. Don't allow yourself to
		

00:01:21 --> 00:01:22

			fall. And if you've ever fallen out of
		

00:01:22 --> 00:01:26

			human error, come back in repentance quickly,
		

00:01:26 --> 00:01:28

			soon as you can. Oh Allah forgive my
		

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

			shortcomings, I know. Forgive my
		

00:01:31 --> 00:01:31

			sins.
		

00:01:32 --> 00:01:34

			I know. Those that I don't know, forgive
		

00:01:34 --> 00:01:37

			me, grant me steadfastness. If I have fallen,
		

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39

			oh Allah, I have not fallen out of
		

00:01:39 --> 00:01:41

			defiance of You. You are my Lord You
		

00:01:41 --> 00:01:44

			dictate I believe in everything. I know what's
		

00:01:44 --> 00:01:47

			halal What's haram o Allah? I'm trying my
		

00:01:47 --> 00:01:49

			best wherever I have made a mistake. It's
		

00:01:49 --> 00:01:49

			human
		

00:01:50 --> 00:01:52

			weakness not defiance of your majesty. So forgive
		

00:01:52 --> 00:01:53

			me.
		

00:01:54 --> 00:01:55

			Allah says forgive you.
		

00:01:56 --> 00:01:58

			Like I say, the biggest
		

00:01:59 --> 00:02:00

			hope that I have
		

00:02:01 --> 00:02:03

			and the greatest smile on my face when
		

00:02:03 --> 00:02:04

			it comes to
		

00:02:05 --> 00:02:08

			me looking at tawba and forgiveness and
		

00:02:08 --> 00:02:11

			knowing that Allah has forgiven me, insha'Allah, by
		

00:02:11 --> 00:02:12

			His will and mercy.
		

00:02:12 --> 00:02:13

			You You know what it
		

00:02:14 --> 00:02:15

			is? Something unique.
