00:00:00 --> 00:00:15
			And he's in charge of tending to sheep. So he takes all the sheep out to the, to the, you know, the
mountainside, and the sheep are grazing and whatnot. And then this boy, you know, there's like a
little pond there. So the boy leaves the sheep, and he goes swimming.
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:32
			So he's having fun, he's enjoying himself. And while he's swimming, a wolf comes in, it doesn't eat
one of the she'd like, eats one sheet, and it eats the second one, the third one, it has like the
biggest buffet it ever had in its life, it eats the entire flock.
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:40
			And so he finishes swimming, he, you know, dries himself off, gets up, and he sees the entire flock
is wiped out.
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:47
			And he said, the hustler is this boy going back to his master
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:57
			saying that he's lost the entire flock. And you'll see that in war times, for example, someone going
in with, you know,
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:27
			a battalion of airplanes, going in with, you know, 1720 airplanes, and having their entire group be
killed. And only like the general coming back, and the sadness. People would retire after that after
they've lost so many people that hustle. And this is a lot of hard data saying and to pull enough
senior hustler, the person will come back on the Day of Judgment. Yeah, hustler. He'll, this is what
he'll have. But of course, that'll be the day of judgment, just to give you like a little glimpse of
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:36
			what it's like, a very tiny glimpse to come back on that day, without preparing the proper cookies.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:02:12
			Mahabharata, he says that the most naive thing in my eyes is to linger in sin with no regrets hoping
for a far off pardon. You know, naive. Note the word naive means ignorant. Not necessarily ignorant,
naive, like if I told you, I'll sell you a bridge in Brooklyn for $50 Hmm, gullible, naive, and
you'll be like, $50, right? That's a great deal. Here it is, you know, you put it in, like, Okay,
thanks. And then I'm gone. And then you go to New York to pick up your bridge. And it's not that
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:41
			naive. He's saying that someone like dumb like, this is someone who wants to continue doing sins.
And he just hopes that later on in life, he, he's just going to be forgiven by Allah. He doesn't
care. He's just going through life doing this stuff, doing whatever he wants. And that one day,
Allah is just going to forgive him for everything and everything will be happy. He says, that's the
most naive person, the most gullible, the dumbest person is this guy.
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:43
			Don't use that word further.
		
00:02:44 --> 00:03:02
			And then he said into hope, the naive person, the gullible person, is to hope to come closer to a
law without doing anything. They think that you're going to come closer to Allah, and the god man is
going to just zoom up by doing nothing is going to miraculously just fall down upon you banging the
head.
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:09
			And then to await the harvest of Jenna, with the seeds of hellfire.
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:29
			Like, he's planting seeds of hope for his entire life. And then when he dies, he's hoping to go to
Jenna, waiting for reward reward without doing any good deeds, and Subhanallah sometimes, I don't
know if you've heard of the ruling. And there's a lot of scholars here. But there's a difference of
opinion amongst the scholars.
		
00:03:30 --> 00:04:06
			That is someone who doesn't pray, are they Muslim or not? There's a difference among the signs and
very deep, like differences of opinion. Some of the scholars say that if someone doesn't pray,
they're not Muslim anymore. They're the five slots are awesome over Russia. If they start praying,
they're not Muslim. I said there's difference between other people say that they're still Muslim,
but they're just lazy Muslims and they're in big trouble. But there's still some other people saying
they should be treated like a farm. They should be treated like a farm. And they took it to the
point where they say that they should even be buried in the cemetery of the farm because they died
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:13
			like this for not praying. And it's a very serious issue. I remember asking Sheriff sir in Medina
University,
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:25
			and I didn't ask them sorry, someone else asked them they said that, you know, my father, you know,
he passed away and I'd like to do Hutch for him this year. Can I do Hutch for him? Knowing that he
never used to pray.
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:40
			He never did his salon. And and the shift said and then these are like from the oldest shoe in
Medina. He said, You don't have to do much for him. If he didn't pray, there's no fridge for him
because he died in arms.
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:43
			that serious?
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:49
			random people where am I going?
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:59
			Okay. So with that rulings panola there was a another older lady that
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:40
			She's asking about, you know, her husband, she wants to hedge fund also. And then this issue came
up, she said he never used to pray. And I thought to myself panel, like, we think that we can just
live our lives doing anything we want. And when someone dies, we can just make a good, you know,
lecture and recite Koran, and Subhanallah, you'll see people that don't normally come to the masjid,
like at their funeral. Kind of like the people that come to the funeral. I remember on a lot in
Washington, DC, there's a sister that passed away. And they said, there's gonna be janazah at the
time, I'm like, fine, I wasn't like dressed properly. I was like working at the school and it was
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:44
			summertime. And then I was shocked when the time came.
		
00:05:45 --> 00:06:11
			He had like shifts offered a D shift and flows in all these scholars were there. And the masjid was
packed as if it was like a Juma prayer. You know, and I'm basically wearing my pajamas. Because
we're working in the school in the summer. And I was like, What's going on here? You know, and there
was a huge crowd for the sister. And shift fosun gave a lecture, I don't think she was on this year.
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:20
			And then they took her to the job, and even her non Muslim relatives who are sitting in the back,
they said that when we die, we want to be buried like this.
		
00:06:21 --> 00:07:01
			And they're non Muslim. And the reason they're saying I asked her, like, Who was this lady? And how
did she evoke such strong emotions from everybody? It said that she was like, one of the one of the
strongest Muslims in Washington, DC. And she started practicing, like, put on center, you know, from
2030 years ago. And she was one of the key people to bring the proper understanding of politeness
and to many of the people in the Washington DC area inside inside the DC area. And a lot of the
people actually learned and studied or came closer to the correct team through here. And I Lost
Planet Allah bluster. You know, you can see that in her inner death.
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:06
			There was, um, there's a poetry line, actually, you guys like poetry.
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:13
			Music is poetry, right? They try putting songs together. But
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:20
			there's a poetry line that says, tunnel vision agenda, what I'm just look myself
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:28
			in the Safina letters reality ever seen, which means that, that you hope
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:41
			to be forgiven, you hope for redemption. But you haven't traveled the path of that redemption, you
haven't traveled that path of that forgiveness. Boats don't travel in the desert.
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:47
			And you have to take your boat needs to put it in the proper water for it to get to this destination
panel, I was
		
00:07:49 --> 00:08:08
			thinking that I gave this lecture like a long time ago. And remember, in the beginning, for those
who are here, we had a little activity were we thinking, putting ourselves into the seat of someone
who's actually got into a car accident this morning, on the way to Mr. Moore's conference, on what
kind of things they would see, hear and feel in the ambulance.
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:19
			And so we talked about these things. It's upon Allah. Allah gave me a taste of this. And it was
actually September 11, the week right after September 11.
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:31
			September 18, on a Tuesday, at like about 12 in the afternoon, I was leaving the school and I went
to do some supply shopping for my classes.
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34
			And Subhanallah in a split second.
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:40
			You know, my life could have been over, I was crossing an intersection. There's a very
		
00:08:41 --> 00:09:03
			busy like highway kind of going through this town. And I was crossing the intersection going across
like this, like eight lanes, and they actually have like speed bumps for people that are coming down
this hill, because they're coming in at very high speeds. So all I remember is my eyes turning like
this, as I was crossing, I thought to myself, I go my going through the red light.
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:09
			And then I'm in the hospital. You know, just like that. The second
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:22
			and, and even that, that thing about the red light. actually had to remember that afterwards. Maybe,
you know, the next day, I was remembering what had actually happened. What had happened was this.
This lady had a female.
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:34
			She had gone to the red light at a very high speed very, maybe 60 miles an hour, at least. And
actually all she did was hit the back of the car swerved hit the back of my car.
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:43
			But that bump in the car ignited the airbags right arm countries you don't have eggs. Unless you
have like the newer cars I would have been dead by now.
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:59
			The airbag came out. The airbag comes out so swiftly that a document conscious so the airbag went
Wham hit me in the head and I fell into concussion. But the car still moving forward.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:16
			Alright, so I'm unconscious, and the cars moving for the car swerves out, hits another car, and then
goes like kind of like off a little cliff and slams into a pole. My car so the actually the front of
the car came all the way to the windshield.
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:20
			So the entire front of the car and it was destroyed the car.
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:52
			But it hit on the on the passenger side, not on the driver's side. So I got cut in the leg and
unconscious right and like I said about the blood. I actually I was talking about myself when I said
it because I had blood on my clothes. And I'm like I felt okay, but when you see your, you know your
clothes drenched in blood, you like something was to happen. And so when Allah Allah remembers, you
know, no, I need to go back to school, they're waiting for me I have a class I have to teach. And
and the police officers talking to me and he's saying, you know,
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:57
			just like you see in the movies, the final scene in the guys go in and you know, the lights of the
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:33
			hospital are are going on top and the doctor saying, you know, you're really lucky you had your
seatbelt on, I put the seatbelt on, maybe five seconds before the accident. Does that mean they have
it and it's not a good habit. And I've learned my lesson, though, of starting the car and driving
like supposing in the car here. I'll drive and then when I get to the first red light, that's when
I'll put the seatbelt on. You guys have that habit? Or you guys don't try to do, right. Yeah, you
know, cuz you boys, you're waiting at the red light. That's when you put your seatbelt on. So I was
at the red light, I left the Parking Lot went to red light at the red light, put the seatbelt on.
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:46
			And then I crossed and then and then was it like this. And then I thought to myself, the doctors
talking are sorry, the police officers talking. And I couldn't reply to him. I could hear him and I
remember hearing him. But I couldn't say anything.
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:48
			And I felt what it's like,
		
00:11:49 --> 00:12:04
			you know, firsthand what it's like to not have control of what you say. In those final moments. You
don't have control over what you say. It's impossible to like say Oh, c'est la, la La and then
you're like, Okay, now I'll go to Jenna, let me just say that.
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:17
			And everything's all happy and fine. If everything you said that moment comes from your heart, you
can't say anything off the top of your head and you can't use your your brain to make, you know,
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:26
			use logic, it comes out unconsciously. If you live in London or someone in your life, it'll come out
at that time,
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:28
			it will come out.
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:35
			And similarly, if you feel your lives with things that take you away from that level of love from
the rest of the law, when that moment comes,
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:40
			then you might not you might be full in those days. Like we said,
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:43
			you never know when that's gonna happen.
		
00:12:45 --> 00:13:12
			So continue from that off, finish off the story for you of that the police officer. So the first one
wasn't a good ending. This next one, he said the police officer that we mentioned earlier, fell back
into routine scenarios and started to drift away from Allah. So even as a police officer, he sees
people dying every day. He's still not not practicing it to something happen. So but another event
happened to him that sealed his return to a loss of hometown and he continues.
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:19
			He says What an odd world. After some time, about six months, a strange accident took place.
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:26
			A young man was moving along the highway normally, but within one of the tunnels leading to the
city.
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:29
			He was named by a flat tire.
		
00:13:30 --> 00:14:14
			And so if you ever been to Saudi Arabia, they get these big Caprice, you know, caprices. We don't
have too many of the American cars, but they sell them to the Saudis. Hmm. Like police cars. Yeah.
Those, you know, the big fat cars and they're there. In Saudi, they drive them like 100 miles an
hour and there's no cops and they just drive them everywhere. So this guy, he gets a flat tire in a
tunnel. There's no like side road or anything. So he's in the middle of the tunnel, and he's trying
to fix this flat tire. And then another car. One of these caprices comes coming in at 100 miles an
hour while he's fixing the time. So he's like in getting open up opening the trunk
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:36
			to get his tire out and fixing it. And this car comes and pounds in from the back. Okay. A young man
was moving along. I came by the flat tire to the side of the tunnel. He parked and stepped to the
back to remove the spare tire. The whistle of a speeding car from behind in a second collided with
the crippled car. The young man in between the two of them.
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:44
			He fell to the ground with critical injuries. I rushed to the scene myself and another partner other
than the first one.
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:55
			Together we carried the young man's body into our patrol car and phone the hospital to prepare for
his arrival. He was a young adult in his blossom years, kind of like your ages.
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:58
			You guys try. 16 years old.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:00
			Be careful.
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:45
			Religious, you could tell from his, from his appearance, he was mumbling when we carried him. But in
our rush, we paid no attention to what he was saying. However, when we placed him on his back in the
patrol car, and like they drove off, we can make it out, like what he was saying, through the pain,
his heart was reciting put on, he was so immersed in the citation. So panela, you would never have
said that this person was intense pain. So this boy is in critical condition. He's in the, you know,
the stretcher, and he's going to his death. And the words that are coming from his heart are the
sewers that he memorized. So he's reciting. Blood has soaked his clothes, Crimson read his bones and
		
00:15:45 --> 00:16:19
			clearly snapped in several places. And to tell the truth, he looked like he was staring into the
eyes of death. He continued to read in his unique tender voids, reciting every verse, and proper
rhythm in my entire life. I never heard any resuscitation like it. I said to myself, I'm going to
instruct him to say the Shahada, just like I saw my friend doing, especially since I had previous
experience, my partner and I listen to that, intently to that soft voice. I felt the shiver shocked
my back and up my arm and the hairs to
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:34
			suddenly the him ceased. I was shy me. So he turns around into the car and looks at the boy, as his
hand rose softly, the boys in critical condition, he's now raising his hand. He doesn't need anybody
to tell him to say that.
		
00:16:36 --> 00:17:20
			He had his index finger pointed upward to the heavens, saying the Shahada that ilaha illAllah
Muhammadan rasul Allah. Then his head slumped, and nothing. I jumped to the back seat, felt his
hand, his heart, his breathing. He was dead. I couldn't stop staring at him. A tear fell, but I hit
it in shame. I turned back to my partner and told him that the boy's life had ceased, and he burst
out loud crying, seeing a man cry like that. I cannot control myself and my partner faded away
behind the fall of my own tears, the patrol car fog from the emotions, we arrived at the hospital.
And as we rushed through the corridors, we told all the doctors, nurses and onlookers, what had
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:42
			happened. So many people were affected by what we said that some stood there speechless, speechless
and cheerful. No one wanted to lose sight of the boy that had been assured of the time and place he
would be buried until they were sure the time place he would be buried. One of the hospital staff
phoned the boy's home to tell them that the bones dead. His brother picked it up, and was totally
accident.
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:51
			His brother told us about him, and he said, this is brother speaking about it. He used to go out
every Monday to visit his only grandmother outside of town.
		
00:17:53 --> 00:18:30
			Whenever he visited her, he made sure to spend time with the poor, poor children, I doing the
streets and the orphans. The town knew him. He was the one that would bring them in signing books
and tapes. His dusty monster would be filled with rice and sugar, and even candies couldn't forget
the candies. For those families who were in need. He would not stand for anyone to discourage him
from the long journey to that town. He would always politely reply that the long drive give him time
to review his put on and listen to static lectures on his cassette deck. And that with every step to
the town, he hoped for the reward that he would find that the last
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:34
			Well, that's monetized isn't
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:55
			in the love of Lima, Bella, Amano amilo salon in her thumb that was part of dialysis were in need of
that not only is the law forgiving allies are forgiving, like someone who does something repeatedly
ever heard of someone named the jaw,
		
00:18:56 --> 00:19:09
			the jaw, right? The it's the kind of same like a butcher, someone who's always slaughtering meat.
It's the same like wording in Arabic Mufasa is someone who's always forgiving Allah subhanaw taala
is
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:50
			and then Allah subhanaw taala says to who demon Nila Pharaoh Lehman turbo, I'm that Allah, Allah is
Forgiving for those people who asked for forgiveness. Those people actually try coming back to the
last panel God, the mentor, but what am and believe, while I made a sleight of hand and do good
deeds from that, and then they're guided after that, those are the people who will last on valuable
help. And in fact, when you make the intention to come back to a Lost Planet, alone make that easy
for you. Just like you've heard in the Hadith, that when the person you know, puts his hand out to
Allah, Allah puts his arm out. When the person comes walking through a lot less than 100 pound it
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:57
			comes right into them. So you'll see the person tries just a little bit to come closer to a lot and
things will open up for the person
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:07
			Okay, there's a there's a joke.
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:09
			I'm gonna tell you a joke.
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:11
			Well, you won't hear jokes.
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:13
			Okay?
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:17
			There's a joke, a joke that the Christian said.
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:20
			So I'm going to modify it a little bit for the Sunday
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:25
			there's a flood into town many times it happens in
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:35
			North Dakota we get floods up there. I'm from Winnipeg, actually, Manitoba. It's above North Dakota.
So it's in North Dakota. You know, the floods
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:40
			and the police have asked everybody to evacuate the city.
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:43
			So there's a there's a priest
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:48
			and he won't evacuate because he knows God will save
		
00:20:51 --> 00:21:03
			alright so so they someone drives by and they're like priests get in the car Come on, you know, the
the floods are coming, he's gonna drown. He goes, No, no, God will save me. And then they're like,
okay, and they leave.
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:26
			So then, you know, the floodwaters are getting pretty deep. And it gets get getting deeper and
deeper. So the priest is like, swimming in the water. Right? He's swimming and he's waddling around.
And so these you know, people come by with canoe. And they and they're like, cannot come on Reverend
Get in, get in the the canoe, you know, will save you and stuff. And he says, No, no, God will save
me.
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:48
			Right. And it's just go, God, God will save me. I don't need your help. Say swimming in this. He
finds like, you know, the waters getting deeper and deeper. He finds like a hill climbs up the hill.
The waters like filling, he's just right at the end. He's on the top of the highest place, the
waters about to fill. So they bring in a helicopter. They see him stranded, they like put down the
rope.
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:53
			And then they tell him you know, come on Reverend get on get in the row will save you.
		
00:21:54 --> 00:22:00
			And it's his last breath. And he said no, no, go. God will save me. Leave me.
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:11
			So they're like, okay, his helicopter flies away. And of course, the water finishes him off. And
he's dead. He died.
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:13
			That's not good.
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:17
			So then he goes back to angels are like, you know,
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:25
			the angels are talking to him. And then and then this guy goes, you know, why didn't you save me?
Why wasn't I saying he wants to know what went wrong.
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:38
			And then the angel said, We sent you two people in the car with the canoe, we sent you the
helicopter. What's your problem? You know, so this is what they tell someone
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:46
			as a Muslim, a lot of people they think that you know, their Savior is just gonna come come slamming
down upon them.
		
00:22:48 --> 00:23:28
			And, and when we say that Allah subhanaw taala will guide us What are we actually thinking of?
Because Allah subhanaw taala he sent the books, you'll see the bronzer right there, right there
abandoned? Right there. We didn't even notice that there's a lot of center. And unless in the
Warner's and the glad Titus, you have, I think, you know how many of you are here today? Maybe 20 of
them, telling people what to do. Again and again. So when we hear something's how long we've
actually heard it many, many times, so that people come the profits came last parent Alison Prophet,
after prophet. So this is our car, and our canoe, our helicopter. In fact, every night Allah
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:47
			subhanaw taala comes down in the third portion of the night. As the Prophet sallallahu Sallam said
and Allah Spano, tala calls out to everybody had him in their infested Ebola. Is there anybody who
makes it so that I'll answer the DA? Hellman? Mr. Phillips? Is there anybody who asked forgiveness
that I'll forgive?
		
00:23:49 --> 00:24:24
			But it's us that have abandoned it. And actually, we're laughing at the priests. We need to protect
ourselves from not falling into that position. Because the warnings have come. And actually, when
you look at it, you know, when you have like a big exam coming up, the teacher keeps warning, it's
gonna be hard. It's gonna be hard, but you decide, no, I'm gonna leave it to the last moment. And
I'm gonna, you know, cram for this exam and right at the last moment you try studying, but it's just
that night, you're just too tired, you have to sleep become an exam. It's too hard. You fail. Can
you really go back to the teacher and complain that you didn't tell me that the exam was hard. You
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:59
			can't go back. You failed, then you know or that person's fail. And they can only blame themselves
and they have the hassle and so on the day of judgment when that death comes because like I said,
it'll come in a snap you can be crossing you could just be coming out of you know, this section some
sister come, man, her car, the airbags go off and you know, like you see in the movies, the gasoline
start trickling, and then the car explodes and you're dead and it'll be in like, all the newspapers,
you know, accident and mustard ignore. Nobody really knows who you are. And then you're gone. And
then you'll think like, oh, but I thought I would be living for 16
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:10
			years ago, I was planning later on to become a good Muslim. I wasn't planning today, I still wasn't
even planning in this lecture. When you're listening to me, are you thinking like, yeah, I want to
go to university, I'm gonna become Muslim.
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:16
			When I, when I get married, I'm like, Are you thinking I need to change right now?
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:22
			And don't think that, you know, I'm just giving it to you when I give these lectures,
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:30
			like the tapes, sometimes I'll just sit back and listen to myself. Not, you know, telling you the
tapes. But I'll
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:34
			I'll take the tape and I'll listen to it.
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:42
			And like, you know, I become like a different person and stuff. I'll listen to the tape, just like
you're listening to the lecture, I think, did I really say that?
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:49
			And then I said, Man, I need to be practicing these things. Because it's, it's a
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:58
			like, when we talk about Islam, everything's like, so perfect, because time is a perfect, but even
us we need to work on.
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:09
			So inshallah Tada, the key is to make the intention. If you're going to, you're thinking, how am I
going to come closer back to Allah subhanaw taala. before my time comes,
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:11
			then
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:14
			finishes Fischer 1130.
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:24
			Number one is make it small, something that you're capable of think of one thing that standing
between you and a loss of time. So think of that.
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:30
			You thought of something standing between you and a loss of time.
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:38
			And then actually might be something very dear to quote unquote, dear, but might be something that
you're doing that you know, is not right.
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:44
			All right, everybody's got that thing you've got, and I got mine.
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:50
			All right, then you think that if it's just one thing, and I'm going to try and change in my life,
		
00:26:51 --> 00:27:01
			that let it be this? And when you think to yourself, you're like, how am I going to stop doing this?
It's actually very hard for me to stop. And when you think like that, you're thinking like that,
because
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:14
			because you think it's you that are trying to make you're trying? Or sorry, the word is, you're
trying to put it all on your back.
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:48
			Right? someone's doing something wrong. It's like I want to change it, but I'm too weak. Allah
subhanaw taala is alchemy is is the powerful one. And so don't think that it's you that's going to
change by yourself. ask Allah Spano Tata, to help you change because a Lost Planet Allah has the
power to change your emotions. And so if you're doing something hot on Can you know what's wrong,
but you can, you know, you enjoy it, it's dear to you. Make it to Allah subhanaw taala to make you
hate this, from the bottom of your heart, make you hate it
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:53
			for someone here at last year's lecture.
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:56
			And I was talking about
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:06
			Okay, the television set. Okay, there might be other ham things, some panela the television set.
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:11
			I hate it from the bottom of my heart. I hate it with a passion.
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:14
			And
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:34
			I'm talking about you know, actually movies might be different. A lot. I'm not talking about those
things. But specifically when I see a television set, I get very angry of the of the way that it
like, corrupts someone's mind. And it corrupts this. So actually, if I go to a hotel room, first
thing I do is go and unplug the television set.
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:58
			To have it in the room, that big one I just sitting there in front of me. And then I'll go in and
plug it so that I won't feel the urge to grab the remote control. And so let me just watch 15 which
turns into three hours. All right. Even though someone may hate it is because they draw their
attention. So hello, we took we had a step over in our muster with the with the boys in our school.
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:15
			And they're like, they're at the camp or the sleep over and they're like, we got to watch the NBA
game. You know, it's the finals, you have to watch it. Like if you wanted to watch it, you shouldn't
have come to the gym, you could stay home, you know, get make your popcorn and sit in lounge in
front of the TV set. Actually pretend like you're actually doing sports.
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:34
			So they're like, okay, okay, we don't want to watch it and stuff like that. And one of them had
actually brought an antenna to the masjid so that they could hook it up to one of these. One of
these sisters TV sets, so they could watch the game. So then we took them bowling, right. We walked
into the bowling area.
		
00:29:35 --> 00:30:00
			And there was a TV set on in the in the bowling area. They I don't think there's a magnet this
powerful. But the entire group maybe like 12 brothers. They swarm to the television sets. All of
them. So like this is like the eye right here. Here's the camera I they all went. They all came to
it. You know, like zombies and I actually here's the TV set was up
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:03
			On the screen, I stood in front of a TV set looking at their faces.
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:08
			Someone want to make a TV face What does the TV face look like?
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:12
			You look pretty weird if you do
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:15
			it What does your face look like when you make
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:27
			TV face? We can get a camera and make a competition who can make the best TV This
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:33
			is usually you know what, you know the spit Julian from the mouth.
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:44
			Keep the muscles in your in your in your cheeks, relax, your face relaxes. And you just you become a
vegetable. And when you look at it, I don't want to do because the cameras on right now.
		
00:30:46 --> 00:31:14
			But I'm sure you understand. So all these kids had zombie faces. I was going like this. Hello,
hello. You know and materials like on top, Mrs. honolua, the kind of, you know, drug that that TV
set is doing is parallel when when someone opens a book, they're like, I want to open my mind I want
to learn something. And then when they want to relax, quote, unquote, relax their brain muscles,
they turn on the television set, right? Like, oh, that was a hard exam. Let me watch TV.
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:34
			They've now relax their muscles. What happens when you relax your muscles, it becomes flabby. And it
becomes like a worthless muscle. So actually what that TV does to the person turns into a flabby,
worthless muscle. So you need to strengthen your brain muscles, do brain push ups, stuff, open up a
book.
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:41
			There's some other stuff I had, but you saw that anybody had any questions?
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:46
			Questions, comments? It's really easy on these kind of lectures because
		
00:31:48 --> 00:32:04
			nobody differs about death. If I talked about music, and singing, I talked about you know other
things. Okay, there's questions on when you talk about death, everybody knows you're gonna die,
whether they're Christian, Jew, Muslim, everybody knows that you're going to die. When we were
studying in Medina.
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:06
			When we were studying in Medina,
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:20
			probably studying like scholar the difference of opinion among scholars until he came to the book of
funeral prayers in the Islamic jurisprudence and this shift always he started off that class, he
said, an Admiralty law.
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:23
			He said that there's no difference.
		
00:32:24 --> 00:32:24
			Everybody knows.
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:31
			So maybe someone wanted to hear about something that maybe we can talk about.
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:38
			Can you talk louder? Okay.
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:10
			They see okay, now.
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:38
			Yeah, the accidents happen like actually the province of Eliasson, him, he told us, this is the gift
card of the morning and evening, right? And you'll see it in Davos, maybe you haven't made it part
of your life. But the problem sort of lies and I'm, like you said about that. You don't say 10
times, and so on. Some of those things are authentic, you can actually ask them for a job. Look
here. I'm sure that the jobs they have here are authentic. They're authentic ones that the Prophet
civilize them said.
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:45
			So for example, you would wake up in the morning morning sort of learning center. And just like you
get in the conscious chronologies of Fatherland,
		
00:33:47 --> 00:34:04
			like that's authentic, the prophet in the Quran, in fact, and the Prophet sallallahu Sallam would do
it. And there are other ones like that. One for example, that the profit sort of learning systems
taught us was Bismillah and lavilla reminds me of the world of cinema or submit it to say that three
times after fetching and after awesome
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:46
			Bismillah which means In the name of Allah, who who you know against Nothing can happen except that
which Allah subhana wa tada decrees so anything bad that was planning to happen if you make that
drop Lost Planet Allah will protect you from those things. Actually, when I'm when I get out in the
morning, and I and I haven't said the door and I'm actually getting in the car. Sometimes I won't
even like Start the car, select Finish saying these doors or try to save them quickly. If I don't
save them. I feel like you know, I'm a moving target for for something bad or either devils or gins
and so on. recently there's been I know you guys like these kinds of things. gym possession,
		
00:34:46 --> 00:34:48
			exorcisms, you like that stuff.
		
00:34:53 --> 00:34:55
			gym possession exorcism. Recently, there's been
		
00:34:57 --> 00:34:59
			you know, people phoning me up and saying, you know, I'm
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:06
			By Jenner or someone in my family is possessed by gin. So can you help us? There's a lot of that
stuff in Proxima
		
00:35:09 --> 00:35:09
			Jin possession.
		
00:35:11 --> 00:35:13
			Why do people get possessed? much?
		
00:35:15 --> 00:35:19
			Okay, so, so the first thing, I'll tell them
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:37
			okay, so like a sister, they said, We think she's possessed by Jim, can you? You know, tell us some
sorcerer say? I said number one, she probably doesn't wear hijab, does she? They're like, No, No,
she doesn't. And she doesn't prayer five salon. And she goes, No, she doesn't nicely the way you
want to read.
		
00:35:39 --> 00:35:44
			If you're not practicing is in the first place. What's the point I'm gonna do for her? She doesn't
believe in it.
		
00:35:45 --> 00:35:51
			She's not practicing. And that's why she's possessed in the first place.
		
00:35:52 --> 00:36:13
			Because if she made her daughter, and she sought the protection of Allah Spano, dada, when you, when
you get out of the house, these are all when you say, are the Ministry of Energy, say all law
protect me from the chiffon? If someone never says those things, then Allah is not protecting them
actually from the Shaitaan. So the shutdowns take over their lives. They take over.
		
00:36:15 --> 00:36:16
			And there's more to the gym.
		
00:36:22 --> 00:36:23
			Okay, this question is
		
00:36:26 --> 00:36:32
			really paying attention. There are there have been things that people have claimed, in the Koran,
that
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:37
			Thai 911 to the Muslims and Islam? Are they true?
		
00:36:40 --> 00:36:50
			That this stuff looks Manila, the first time I saw that they're like, go to Surah nine, verse 11,
and verse 111, and go here and there, verse 911.
		
00:36:51 --> 00:36:52
			And then
		
00:36:54 --> 00:37:01
			it has nothing to do with September 11. Actually, even those verses that they're quoting, when I
read it, I'm like, so,
		
00:37:02 --> 00:37:22
			you know, like, it has nothing to do with with 911. Just they just say like, Look, this verse has
something to do with 911. And then the person's like, they never even thought twice about, hey, this
actually has nothing to do with 911. with them, they're like, Wow, it does. That's number one, it
has nothing to do with 911. Number two is that this is the way of the Christians.
		
00:37:23 --> 00:37:25
			This is the way of the Christians in that they.
		
00:37:28 --> 00:38:07
			They like to look for like these hidden meanings and these numerology and try to find hidden
meanings behind the numbers Allah subhanaw taala. Never, it doesn't say in the Quran that search to
put on through some numerical secrets. Nowhere it says in the plan. And you'll see that maybe the
same person who's so concerned about that, verse nine, verse 11, they probably never read surah
nine. And that verse, they're not even looking at the meaning of it, maybe the eyes before or the
eye after it. The message is, you know, slapping them in the face the message of the font, and
they're like, what does the hidden, you know,
		
00:38:08 --> 00:38:38
			superstitious meaning and they've never actually tried to seek out the the point blank meaning of
the coupon. And I grew up actually, in this kind of an atmosphere in Canada, we had a lot of kind of
speakers that were there would always say, you know, why did the law say this in the Quran, it means
this. And they were like trying to find some hidden, deeper meanings. And I thought to myself that
nobody actually knows the apparent meaning in the first place. When someone says it didn't sit.
		
00:38:39 --> 00:38:46
			Well, I looked for a hidden meaning when the meaning on the top on the surface, is there for
everybody guide us to the strip.
		
00:38:48 --> 00:39:02
			It's just a parent, why do you have to go to somewhere deeper and look at the numbers and there's
seven verses in that and go here, when they don't even know the apparent meaning. So you don't
really have to worry about things like that. When you get an email like that. Just delete it.
		
00:39:03 --> 00:39:04
			And it won't bother you anymore.
		
00:39:06 --> 00:39:08
			It says Can anyone see a gym?
		
00:39:10 --> 00:39:11
			Can anyone see a gym?
		
00:39:16 --> 00:39:17
			There have been
		
00:39:19 --> 00:39:25
			like, you know, like I said, exorcisms there have been scholars and actually if you get a religious
to,
		
00:39:26 --> 00:39:28
			to talk to us abilities talking to them
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:50
			after this Okay, as soon as it comes in, ask them this question. Because I think a villager has done
exorcisms. So you get first hand account of someone who's done an extra. So when he says any
questions, don't sit quietly like you sitting quietly, say, brother. You know, Chef Abdullah, can
you tell us about the exorcism that you did in Toronto? And then you get really excited
		
00:39:53 --> 00:39:59
			that you asked him what he has done exorcism. I think he did it to be a sister. And he'll tell you
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:00
			What happened?
		
00:40:01 --> 00:40:04
			Or what happened during that? exorcism?
		
00:40:07 --> 00:40:08
			Any other questions?
		
00:40:11 --> 00:40:12
			Comments.
		
00:40:25 --> 00:40:31
			Hear this question, it says, How should we advise a friend who does not pray? Should we not be
friends with them anymore?
		
00:40:32 --> 00:40:36
			That's a good question. Because sometimes we think when someone's doing something bad,
		
00:40:37 --> 00:40:45
			the only way to show our is that we're following Islam is to treat them badly. And this is
incorrect. Because sometimes,
		
00:40:47 --> 00:41:09
			like, in the end, we want that person to start praying, for example, we want the person start
praying. So you look at what happened. Like you imagined to yourself. Here we are. You know, this is
Farzana, and this is sister Homer. Homer wants Rosana to play her solo. And then so she imagines you
know, five months in the future. You want to come?
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:14
			Okay, so.
		
00:41:15 --> 00:41:34
			So, you said, I was talking to Arizona, she wants presents, but she thinks to five months into the
future for zonas. Right? Good job, and she's praying her five salon, she's a very good Muslim. Now,
if you're in that, you know, think of that future and then work your way back and think what
happened for her to get into this situation?
		
00:41:36 --> 00:41:59
			You say, for example, you know, I took her out for pizza. And then she became, you know, good
friends with the sisters in the masjid. And we invited to the Holocaust, and she came to the
Holocaust. And she herself without being told, she started praying with us. And then later on, you
know, she started praying at home, she felt that it made a change in her life. And then later on
five months later, she started praying.
		
00:42:00 --> 00:42:04
			Okay, so that might be, you know, your blueprint for success. If you
		
00:42:05 --> 00:42:39
			do like this, for example, should we not be friends with anymore? Here's Rosana, here's Homer, it
can either go up in a positive way, or it can go down in a negative way. If for example, you say,
Oh, you don't pray, you must not be Muslim brother Mohammed said that people who don't fare and
Muslim, and you didn't really understand what I said, but and then so she's like, What do you mean,
not Muslim? You know, and she might have like, major problems in her al Qaeda, she gets mad at that
she's insulted. Later on, someone says, Let's go later on today to the next lecture. And she's like,
I don't care about what he says, you know, someone said that I don't pray and I don't want to come
		
00:42:39 --> 00:42:52
			back anymore. So she's like, let's just go to the shopping center. She goes to sovereign center, she
buys like maybe her own clothes and then everything gets bad after that, and it just goes down the
hill. So by actually getting angry at her and cutting her off,
		
00:42:53 --> 00:42:55
			he may have led her to misguide
		
00:42:56 --> 00:43:01
			you know, so you look at what can I do for her to help her to be a good Muslim?
		
00:43:02 --> 00:43:08
			And the question I would always have is, if you have a camel and you have a donkey, this is always
like an Arabic thing.
		
00:43:09 --> 00:43:12
			They say that. If the camel hangs out with the donkey for a long time,
		
00:43:14 --> 00:43:16
			the camel will start sounding like a donkey.
		
00:43:18 --> 00:43:58
			So I thought to myself, I go, Well, why doesn't the donkey start sounding like a camel? The camel is
supposed to be the good one in this thing. And so Hanalei, it seems that a lot of times it's the
person with the evil that is more stronger than the person who's who's good. This person wants to go
to Masjid and pray this other guy wants to, you know, go driving around in his car and go to a beach
somewhere and have fun and do things. Obviously, that guy is gonna win out, right? Because these
things are supposedly unfun. Right, but you have to you have to work hard to be strong. So if you
are being good to him, befriending her, you have to make sure that that that goodness is stronger
		
00:43:58 --> 00:44:00
			than maybe the evil impulses. That's
		
00:44:01 --> 00:44:05
			right, inshallah. We're gonna close now, like I said, Tell me what happens with
