Muhammad West – 10 Step Plan to Change the World – Part 2

			Will regime similar manner or desirable alameen wa salatu salam ala
		

			Sayyidina Muhammad Ali he was my beloved brothers and sisters in Islam. salaam aleikum wa
rahmatullah wa barakato.
		

			Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen wa la ilaha illa. Allah witness that none has the right to be
worshipped besides the last panel data. We send our greetings and salutations development Nabi
Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, to his pious and pure family, to his companions and all those who follow
us soon until the end of time, you ask Allah subhanaw taala to bless us to be straightforward to the
student of Mohammed Al Salam in this life, and to be in his companionship in general for those silly
ophira. I mean, what hamdulillah Al Hamdulillah we continue from last week, and I mentioned that we
are in a new year 1441, a new Islamic year. And with the passing of every year, it's a moment for us
		

			to reflect, to reflect about ourselves personally, about our families in about our communities and
oma at large. And when we look at the picture, it's not a great picture. I think we all agree,
whichever Matthew on whichever stick to follow, if you are a Muslim, you testify to the Kadima of La
ilaha illAllah Muhammad Rasulullah sallam. I think one thing that we all are unanimous is that the
picture is not a great picture. The oma by and large is not in a position of strength at the moment.
And when we look at the year that has passed, it was a year that was not very good. It was a year
Hamlet it was hated and broken, every every opportunity of goodness, Allah spamela we should always
		

			remember a side note. Now this also says no matter how bad things are, life is always preferred over
this Why? Because this is an end to provider, you can no longer make sure that you can no longer
make the cola. And if we were to quantify 365 days of solder five times a day, one month of Ramadan,
we cannot even enumerate how big that is on our scales of goodness, what hamdulillah So we thank
Allah for the year that has come in a year of vida, Allah has kept us on Eman and made us muslimeen.
But from a greater picture, we say the Ummah is in a bad state. And therefore, it's not about only
mentioning the bad, it's not only about criticizing, because it's easy. Each and every one of us
		

			have PhDs in pointing out the mistakes and the problems in the dunya. We can do that. That's easy.
The job of armchair critic is taken. What we need to do is plan for the future plan for ourselves
and plan for the oma and how do we fix this picture? The picture and the problems are so huge. When
we spoke about Kashmir, we spoke about
		

			China, we speaking about Burma, Syria, these problems just keep mounting, and is no solutions. We
look at our leaders and we so much problems. We look at our youth and we live despondent. So where
do we go from here? And how do we change the situation, so that this year 1441 can be a better year.
And it only happens with planning. And we need to be strategic, something I mentioned a lot. If you
look at the biography of Navy SEALs, alum, Guan he was committed and of course, focus from yaqeen
from a poor from an angle of trust to Allah, He put his dependence in Allah. He was also very, very
strategic. He planned and he had plans. And he had a forward looking view. He had an objective and a
		

			journey that he was on. He was building continuously and responded when things came. But it never
took him away from his plan for us as Omar unfortunately, we already actually we don't have a plan
of where we going to where we going for next year. So this is an opportunity for us to put our plans
in effect. And we said we want to put down 10 simple steps to change the world might seem lofty,
it's fine, like maybe oversimplifies the matter. But also for those who have attended the sera
class. And we saw that how a handful of people 300 believers were but 300 that was the muscle of the
Muslim Ummah, that was it. That's all we had 300 men, and within 15 years, the Muslim Ummah, the
		

			Muslim nation was the most powerful nation in the world. And that's what shows you these these
steps, these plans, they work. And it is the methodology of the MBR. This is how they transform the
society. And so we said we'll do team plan 10 steps to fix ourselves. And by that we changed the
world. Last week, we spoke about about five of them, half of them. We said number one, whenever
there's a change of time, a new week, a new month, a new year, remember you and I have find that
finite moments in this life. Nobody said every one of us were just made up of seconds. Every time a
second leaves you you die, a part of you dies leaving to come back. So before we look to the future,
		

			we make it stiffer and we fix the past. We make it stiffer, and we fix the past. The beautiful thing
about the last panel data is that we can rewrite our history. rewrite those sins simply by the far
side note someone emailed me and said you know I've committed so much sin and you feel despondent
when you look at your track record, you know, someone feels like if you look at all your son, you
feel like I'm in so much debt can I ever come out of this hole?
		

			Subhana Allah, Allah Mercy is so much bigger than your son Always remember that. And Allah
introduces himself over and over with the first name Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim. That's the one he
wants you to remember by the one who is merciful and kind and forgiving and loving. And if you just
make us raise, and if we raise our hands, we confess our sin only to him, no one needs to know about
your sin, only Allah and you and you have sincerely great, there are no promises in the Quran, that
he will remove your sins, you'll literally expunge it from that record, and he will raise in its
place good deeds, you will have actually have reward instead of that sin. So take the moment to make
		

			this default, because we don't know perhaps 4041 is the last year that we throw bricks and so what
we need to clear whatever debts we have with Allah. then number two, we said start the year with a
sincere Nia, have a plan for what you want to do. The objective of life, what do you want to achieve
in this life? What do you want to achieve with this year? We as Omar unfortunately, as we said, it
makes me very sad when you go to a school, for example, and you speak to young men and women 1415. I
mean, there's no such thing as an old child, they're big children. And no, we don't have this
concept in Islam. Once you've got a man or a woman, you can get married, you can, you know, you can
		

			do everything that adults can do, what you asked them when you want to do what you want to be what
is your purpose in life, and I don't know, I will see. But even my parents tell me, that is a
problem that we have our youth, our and swannanoa, the same our leaders, our our panels, or forums
or committees, we don't have a plan. And so therefore, the NEA is not just something that you
recite, before anybody, which I said is not even part of the sooner but it is rather than Nia is a
purpose have a purpose in your life. So sit those objectives financially look at your bank account
and say, am I where I want to be financially? Do I have my relationships intact? So as a as
		

			especially as a soupon, as the man of the household? We talk about this, it is your responsibility
to sit those plans for your family to sit those objectives. What do we want to achieve? Where should
we go from here from a dean perspective, a dunya perspective, your personal perspective, all these
things, your health perspective, that Muslim is constantly planning and the beautiful thing about
Allah subhanho wa Taala. Remember, remember this, listen very carefully, he will give you the reward
based on the Nia, not of what you've achieved. Many, many times, you will never achieve what you
plan, we put a budget in place, you only get 70% of the budget, Allah will give you the award to the
		

			full extent of that budget, or even most vanilla. That's a guarantee from Allah, so you don't lose
out. So have a nice day. Number three, we said if we had to prioritize our life, looking at the end
in mind, on the day of kiama, what are the priorities? What are the things that are we are we going
to regret the most? What are the things that we are going to be questioned about the hardest? What
is the toughest question? Okay, we said the most important question is What did you worship?
		

			What did you worship and these are multiple types of worship. Worship is not just to youth worship
can be as we said, waiting something for prediction is a type of worship. We you know, looking for
someone to predict your future, looking at the stars for good luck. People believe for example,
software is a month of bad luck with Salam. These actions can make you fall into shake. So avoid
cheating. Because as we said, unfortunately, the one who dies upon cheating will never ever
interject. Now, this is the promise from Allah. Someone also messaged and said, I didn't know x, y
and z it was the type of chick I have come to know now that this is not permissible. But I did this
		

			my whole life. What do I do now? Remember the Sahaba or the alarm regimen? They committed the worst
forms of shoot before Islam, they worshipped idols, they bow before idols. But Allah says the one
who stops committing Sheikh and he reformed himself and he repeats for that sin. If you die without
having Sheikh to your name, then insha Allah Bismillah we know and we believe and we hope that
promise that we are part of those who had the Kadima in general is guaranteed for such people
Subhana Allah Hadith which gives us so much hope that after Allah has now decreed one should go to
Jana and Jana based on the deeds then we will be a whole long indecision so you know, for example,
		

			in the coastal Alabama, Florida, Allah has no likeness, but in the quote, unquote madonia of the
person is found guilty, then what do they do? Come back one month for sentencing. Now we need to see
what must what's gonna happen to me. I'm guilty of the crime. What is the sentence? So Allah subhana
wa Tada. And this is a long sipping kiama he could just forgive into you are liable for Jana, but I
forgive go to Jana, then Allah can pass the sentence and then you have the indecision and I'm saying
Allah have mercy on this man or a one brother, one sister see this guy. He did good for me on the
day in the dunya please bring us with the child was passed away before the parents they will cling
		

			on to that theodosia Allah I want to bring my dad my mom to gender. So then the symptoms will be
reduced, reduced, reduced.
		

			Only the worst of the worst will be in journalism. And then a lot at some point out of his mercy
will look inside journalism and say all those who have the least amount of Eman in their heart who
had not committed chick, they will be taken out of Jannah. But with condition, they had not
committed chick, but anyone was she will never ever exit. So avoid these things, avoid these things.
		

			Number four, we seek knowledge should be part of the life of the believer, reading, learning, and
there are so many resources. Always be on the path of learning, introduce some learning and reading
into your family, learn something new, learn something from the dunya learn something about the deen
and as we see the why Allah when he looked to transform of a backward society, he began with ekra
because ignorance is a disease that keeps you blind.
		

			But ignorance is bliss. You don't know you're sick, you don't know you're committing shit. You don't
know you're committing a major sin. You don't know your money is haraam. without learning you never
learn you never know. And hamdulillah most masajid do we live in a very privileged panel, you and I
have ad privilege with a click of a button. You can get all the books that that Allah spent hundreds
of years to compile you with a click of a button. You can access classrooms, the universities,
online, some universities, they are bionz and things that go out, it's on your phone, even sometimes
we you know, we bombard you with our messaging. Even if you don't want it you can say please enough,
		

			we don't want you lectures and suffer nobodies. But make sure you're part of some kind of learning.
Make that part of your intention. Good as the professor says, If Allah loves for someone, some good,
he puts him on a journey of learning. If Allah loves you, He gives you the opportunity to learn
because learning is the thing that will take you and make your past agenda easy. So just learn
something new continuously. We have a class here Monday evening, six o'clock in the class, whatever
you have questions sometimes people say we don't know when to ask when to go to the questions. The
doors are open. SubhanAllah anyone who wants to ask a question anyone who has a concern come to the
		

			masjid, it's a safe place. We can talk about anything and everything. And those are hamdulillah we
have attended for many years with us our there was benefit in it learn so much. we've all learned so
much. So please attend our classes in sha Allah or listen to something in traffic. So now that you
avoided cheating, you intentionally sincere, you are in a process of learning. Actions need to
happen. We are an oma of action. We do I start and we said strive for the five, get the five basics
correct. As we said last week, that beautiful Hadith of the Bedouin, he said to them, I promise you
I will do the five pillars of Islam. But then one extra fasting day, not one extra day Kara will
		

			make that one extra dua not one extra dollar, not one extra Rand in charity was on soccer. I promise
I will do the five, not more, not less. And so then we'll see if this man is telling the truth, you
will interject now, when this gentleman is guaranteed our problem, you know, sometimes when we give
lectures, some people and how many other people are different levels, and only Allah knows which
level you're on. Some are at hamdulillah in the earlier category they are looking to how do I
prolong my tagit? You know, how do I make five 600 times a week? You know, how do I do that others
of us are struggling just to perform our Salah on time, you know different levels. As an oma, our
		

			problem is not that we don't have high you know highly intelligent, highly motivated people we have
them. But the problem is the masses by and large are not doing the basics. But if we look as a as a
community as a population, are we comfortable with everyone now community of performing outsiders on
time are paying out zaca as we should, avoiding the major sins. We don't have to fix the big things
as we said, Now visa Salaam spent most of his life trying to implement the small things in
everybody's life. And if everybody does the small things correctly, then automatically Allah will
fix the big things that's a guarantee from Allah subhanaw taala if everyone is performing Salah five
		

			times a day everyone is paying his aka ever avoids the major sins when we don't we don't need but if
no one is up with the attitude when hamdulillah this community is a safe community is a community of
generalities. And as we said this is more important to Allah that these basics are fixed before the
big things before the more difficult things are fixed. So wherever you are in your journey right
now, if you are not performing if I am not performing all my workouts on time, make that your goal
don't look to do anything more than that. I want to make my solder on time. I want to if you are
performing your Salah on time, try to perfect the basics meaning make it as early as you can in the
		

			world. prolong your Salah a little bit. These are the things that the things which Allah loves the
most to do the basics and focus on that. Then
		

			again, going back to Kiana qiyamah first question, what do you worship? If you see I did not come
back? Well hamdulillah now you're eligible for Jenna those who committed she unfortunately will
never indigena then, as for the next question, we know that our visa service is the most
		

			important question after the cheetah question, these are believers. These are those who document
chick. What's the most important question after that? SATA, SATA, whoever.
		

			Whoever poses the question of SATA, that is easy. Now you have one foot in the door in general. Now
really, it's hope you fall asleep, but, but we also have to look on the left side, what sins you've
committed. So you've done enough to pass the exam, but this exam also has negative marks, and
certain punishments must be must be seen to on the left. Now again, prioritize. We commit many, many
sins and we also no one is perfect. We look at her and we listen to her and we eat her arm, we earn
her arm, we do her arm, we do our stop what are even in sin, they are priority things, major sins,
and sins which are not, don't take it small as light, but since not as serious as the major sins.
		

			And so, Allah has given us a very beautiful video comforting advice. If you avoid the big ones, the
major sins, then he will expunge all the minuses. You have a record full of sin, but there are minor
sins.
		

			Only minus ones they don't kiama Allah will forgive all of them as Allah says in the Quran, if you
avoid keba you no matter no nanhu if you avoid the major ones, then the minor ones will be forgiven.
So we said major sins and we need you to see these inshallah, what are the majors we did this many,
many years ago. We'll revise these things. As we see the major sin some of them we take lightly Riba
For example, one of the better cover the major major sins is anybody paying any burning rebar to fix
that Xena hammer these things which we know are very bad. These are the major major sins, avoid
these things and if you have fallen into them again, someone said I fell into some some many years
		

			ago, what do I do now? Now you need a special kind of Toba. And you need to until very simply ask
Allah for forgiveness. If you're fortunate enough, you know the Ramadan for example, Hajj, for
example. expunges these major sins even but all we need to do is make it make sincere Toba and big
enough to return if you're currently in lesson right now. You need to stop it immediately or try and
fix it as best you can. So for example, you are in a bond which is incurring Riba haram major sin,
you're paying Riba major sin, now you need to try and fix that situation, from the bank, try to move
to Islamic banking, if you can, try to limit it to time whenever you can do this is the process of
		

			fixing that major sin. So avoid the major, major sins. Now. This guy now imagine a person like this
a person like this, he comes on camera. He doesn't come with a chip. He never came with the cheek.
He only performing these five basic Pillars of Islam. He never made the hatchet. He never fasted on
a Monday and Thursday, he never built any machines. He never fit any orphans. But he did the basics.
And he says yeah, Allah, I have never committed major sins, or whatever major sins he did, he made
tober for them, this person will intergender insha Allah without any hisab of Jana. And this is a
basic basic entry level we would say easy Muslim, meaning something all of us can achieve and aspire
		

			to all of us can get the sometimes Jenna for us, we believe it is impossible to get the when we look
at it like this, the exam is not impossible to pass the exam really is very doable, it's for
everyone. Yes, if you want to get first in the class, if you want to get to Gen two for those, that
is a difficult, difficult part. As we get higher up, the incline gets steeper and steeper
SubhanAllah. But for the rest, it's easy to intergender based on the end, if you do this well
hamdulillah then that's all that is required any of us this is what the Nagisa Salam came to hope to
bring a community that is doing these things. Now we move on to number seven. Unfortunately, on
		

			camera as well, one thing you need to remember, is, as much as you fulfill your obligations to
		

			Allah subhana wa Tada, we have obligations to each other. Allah has made this exam, a communal exam.
		

			And so you'll find the man and hamdulillah He has lots of good deeds, he has not committed any sins
against the law, not the mate hammer. He has not committed Xena is not committed, he had interest
any of those things, and he's on the verge of entering Jenna. But then
		

			Allah will ask those who have had some claim against him. Do you have any claim against this man?
And if so, when he will start having to pay out his good deeds. We know the Hadith of the movies, we
know the Hadith of the bankrupt person. So part of our obligations is we have to fulfill our
obligations to one another. Now, what does this mean? It's a very broad area.
		

			But to simplify it, you know, that if you have a contract, you have to fulfill that contract. If
you're a plumber, for example, someone paid you money, you have to fix it, you have to do your job,
and if you don't, you are liable. Now you and I are entered into many, many contracts some we don't
even realize the contract. When we are born. We have a contract with our parents.
		

			rights and obligations, they need to do things for us. We need to do things for them. And if we
break those that contract, we are liable on the piano to answer for that. When you have kids, you
have a contract with them. The boats the biggest contract of your life is cobuild. Tunica harlene,
fcbd Alec, that is the biggest contract that you entered into in your life. We know that is the most
serious contract you entered into in your life, because you have so many obligations to this woman
to this husband, that a man has the resources to a lady, look to your husband, because even if you
fulfill all your obligations, he could be your general Jana, and even if you're deficient in some
		

			things, that if you are a good wife, you can intergender beautiful Hadith for our sisters, another
shortcut to gender, that abuse of circumcision, a lady who has two children, and she performances
for on time. And when she died, her husband was pleased with her not pleased that she died. He was
pleased he was happy with her. Right. He was shooting say Save As.
		

			Save as Ahuja for the very sad that she died. But yeah, she was a good wife. Then what did she do?
She just made solid material. And this lady Allah says will be allowed to enter from any do of
general all seven or a dose of Jonathan, all a dose of General abubaker delegates doing all this
lady didn't do much except she saw to the obligations of her husband. similarly to the main reasons
is
		

			the biggest test I left behind for you are women. And usually when we think of fitna we think of the
nakedness outside the * that fitna is, that's part of it. The other part of it is, we have
to answer about our treatment of our wives. Very big question on the exam out. And not only that, I
didn't say why she said women, specifically our daughters, our mothers, our sisters, because as we
know, in the shediac, if our fathers and our grandfathers have long life, but if our fathers passed
away, our moms, our sisters become our responsibility now. We need to take care of them. any harm
done to them, you didn't do the harm, but someone on them someone took over their rights, financial
		

			rights, emotional rights, you will be awesome that if kiama What did you do about that? For example,
may Allah protect our kids, if anything happens to one of our children, the parents will still have
to answer you negligent as a parent. Now this extends to the lady's loss advice, loss loss advice of
the life of measles alum, be fearful of Allah with regards to how you treat the ladies of the people
under your custody. Meaning number one, you womenfolk your children, your slaves look after them. So
this is a topic on its own. But each and every one of us need to look at our obligations, you have a
responsibility to your family, or responsibility to your boss you do and that's actually a contract
		

			in paper,
		

			to your customers, to neighbors is an obligate responsibility, certain things you have to do as a
neighbor, certainly you shouldn't do. And if you these are not very big use perhaps parents, the
obligation to parents is a lifelong one, we have to give them a son, meaning what is how do you
fulfill your obligations, your to your parents, you have to give the best to them. That's very
difficult, because it's hard to give the best all the time. But Allah is merciful to the wife, you
need to live kindly with her. Allah doesn't say you need to give millions to her. You need to give
our house in bishops court, so long as it's kind treatment to the best of your ability. Well,
		

			hamdulillah you kids, give them love and teach them. Give them a good role model, your boss, if you
if he pays you for certain tasks, fulfill that task. Your customers, if they pay you for something,
then give them that which they expect your neighbors don't harm them, don't abuse them. And if you
do that, well hamdulillah you have fulfilled You are a citizen of humanity, and you're a decent
person, you don't have to change the world in terms of fight for the rain forest, it's good to do
that. You don't have to go build orphanages, very good to do that. Well hamdulillah but first see to
those basic things. Be a present father, be a good husband, be a good son, be a good employee. If we
		

			do those things, then no one has a claim against you on the day of karma. Well, if only we can come
to a low the record like that, then we can show you a lot Yes, I don't have many gold stars on my on
my on my good deeds, I have not done any amazing things. But such a person who comes and says yeah,
Allah, I have avoided the major sins, I have done the basics, and no person here on piano, I can
point the finger at me and say that they harm me in a bad way. In a severe way. That person is
really the only of Allah Subhana Allah, some people we know when they pass away we have an
inclination that they might be in a well either way they die, they die on a Friday, they die in a
		

			very beautiful way. And so and so and so and so didn't build the message. She didn't memorize much
of the Quran. She was up making the hatchet, but she was a good human being. And for Allah this lady
or this person was a valley of the Holy of Allah, the basic deeds done correctly, can attain you the
highest places in China. The basic needs done correctly can attain the highest places in general. So
look to that. Number 100. If you've achieved you got to this level, then you are default you are
where you need to be. This is a way
		

			We need to be as a as a Muslim, this is what is entry level. Now we have no no major deficiencies.
Now we want to start increasing the incline, we want to do a little bit more yeah Allah. Now I want
to aim for the higher levels of Jenna. So if you have not gotten to this, you have problem in your
basic divided your problem with a major since your problem in your relationships, fix that that's
your goal for 4041 focus on that. That's your priority. If you have all those things in place, and
you want to do more, now I want to do more extra stuff, then Subhanallah then a visa system tells
you how to attain this higher level of perfection. He says.
		

			Remember, you will not intergender through your deeds, meaning it doesn't matter about the quantity
of good deeds you do it will never be enough to earn you you can ever sort of if you were to buy
Jenna, you can with good deeds. What Jana is, is so much more than a lifetime of good deeds, even if
you came to Allah with mountains and mountains of Salah it is not equal to eternity in general. So
your good deeds will never ever be enough. So what do we do? How do I get the to the highest levels
of Jannah certain resources but if you really want to, if you want to get there what you need to do,
then do good deeds properly with knowledge with understanding correctly. Sincerely, the Nia must be
		

			sincere, moderately, meaning not extreme, moderately, and know that your deeds will not make you
intergender and the most beloved deeds to Allah is the one that is considered regular and
consistent, even if they are small. So the path to perfection. After you do the basics, to do the
extra, take one extra perfected. Learn it do it correctly. If it's a Do you want to make, learn that
do up properly. And then make an intention in your heart? Yeah, Allah, I will do this every single
day. Whether I'm sick or traveling, I'm not going to do a lot of things. I'm going to do one thing
properly. And that's what Allah loves the most. Instead of us making 10 hot items in Ramadan, do one
		

			page a day, you will not even if you do one page a day, it's often harder. I think it's like half of
the Quran. That is better than doing Tim Hortons in Ramadan. It is the consistency. It is a reminder
and certainly like metadata again, Allah has no examples. But you ask your wife, Oscar today, would
you like me to bring you a dozen roses on one day or give you 12 roses one each day? asked what
would you prefer? Why? Because it means every day you took that moment to remind yourself of a lot
every single day you went forward in that relationship. So as I mentioned and this is why we gave
the handout last week and I hope you took it and if there's some more pages, I have summarized and
		

			hamdulillah 25 very simple beads. Easy some of these are difficult to log but the difficulties you
know
		

			it's hard. I don't know the dodgy people you have a lovely make dua for all of us. That it is really
difficult to another person fasting on a Monday Thursday is a very very difficult
		

			it's a Jihad for some of us for another man you know money in the in the towel is difficult. So
choose the binder which suits you. What works for you choose the binder that is easy for you.
There's so many types of a binder, and some of them as we said easier than others and now visa alum
he prefer He loves you to do the easy one. He comes when he wakes up one in the morning and he goes
to max budget in the masjid and his wife Julia mother, Julia Raja Lana, she was making a budget. And
he came back to the house and she was now sitting in Vicar. He goes out to the house, he does
whatever he needs to do. And he comes back before the hood, and she's in exactly the same spot. same
		

			spot. She hasn't moved. And so he's surprised this is the result. This is have you set like this?
The whole time just like this, have you set like that? And you haven't moved? So she says yes, I
this is what I did. And so there'll be some sentences, I will teach you a word I will teach you some
doors, that if you say that is gives you more reward, more reward, then the answer to all this time
that is on this page, the purpose of sentences. So the proper sentences to mother Julia, I recited
four words after I left you four things I said and if I weighed my four deeds against what you did
all that because then it would be more than what you did. Yes, this is the provinces that are deemed

don't have see as much pleasure you take with yourself for things. Praise be to Allah, as much as
your creations as much as the ink is to take your words as much as the weight of your arm. And as
much pleasure you have in your greatness, say these four things, it takes you off a minute, it is
more rewarding than sitting from magical do it on the masala so I do that, besides telling her don't
do that rather do this. Another beautiful one and the resistance is whoever on a Friday, that easy
spinal wave on Friday, he hustles and he also he makes his wife Priscilla as well she uses as well
		

			and he comes to the masjid before the Imam. He sits in the front Sofie doesn't sit in the back. This
is different off before the Imam comes here, the Saudis and he sits attentively he doesn't speak to
anyone. He listens to the Imam. And he leaves What's his reward, every step he took to the masjid is
one year of fasting one year of kamalame. Now many steps that you take to the masjid over 100 over
1000, you can check your step counter right 1000 steps, if I told you make 1000 years of fasting,
1000 years of formula is impossible. But you can do this every Friday from Panama. So there are 25
easy ones. And as you can see, I don't do all of them and don't it's not expected to do all of them.
		

			Choose one and perfect them choose one imperfective. Okay, and that is that you encourage and
another shortcut. As I said last week, share this information, because you might take one someone
else takes number three, someone else's number four, but as they do it, you earn dividends on the
good deeds, you can benefit from it. So choose one thing correctly, perfect every single day, yeah,
I'll make this door or every Friday, I will do this ritual, I will never ever break it. And this is
what enters us into that higher level of general. So number eight to do simple things consistently.
And there are shortcuts to do it. Now if you want to change society, and this is how we're changing
		

			the world. And the result, Sallam said, change basically what's in your power to change. There are
many things which you and I feel bad about. But there's very little we can do beyond the law, very
little you and I can do about beyond the law. And sometimes we focus so much, so much on those
things which we can't fix, and we neglect the things we can fix. As I said spine Allah, you and I,
we can maybe put some money in the towel for Majolica we can make da but beyond that we can do much,
much more. But you can do a lot for the masjid on the corner of your street. You can do a lot for
that Masjid. Yes, correct.
		

			And you can if you put your energy in the masjid in your road, you can actually change it and uplift
the lives of the whole community. And that is what an abuser wants you to do when he sees if you see
evil changes with your hand if you can do so. And if you can't, then speak out against it. And if
you can't, then at least make the offer the situation. And that's the least the lowest thing that
you can do. So change what you can change and what is in your power to change. A law will not
question you and me about things which was out of our control. A lot of them asked you and me. What
about the you know what's happening in this country and that a lot what could I do about that in the
		

			time of the Beatles alum for example. I'm not here to diminish. There's a lot of people going
through a lot of hardships. We're not diminishing the tragedy and we're not saying we already we
don't do enough. But for example, the province of Salem was in Medina
		

			and he was focusing on building his Masjid the even though the Kaaba in Mecca was controlled by the
Quran.
		

			The Kabbalah is controlled by the Qureshi, no one can make it No one can make sadati but his focus
was my community in Medina, I can fix them. He lived Mecca to Medina to build this community. So you
and I, we are things we can change. We can have an influence in the school in the masjid in the
community, you can do something. So as I said, if you want to move beyond the basics, the basics is
enough. Well hamdulillah it's enough. If you want to move forward from a ritualistic from a better
perspective, do the shortcuts agenda. If you want to be a better from being a basic citizen to an
active citizen in the oma you want to change the oma Now, how do I do that? Where do I start? Choose
		

			one project and use your talents for that? In every you know, so many organizations out there,
whether it's the orphanage whether it's the ASPCA, whether it's the neighborhood watch, whether it's
the masjid committee, the school committee, people just need your time.
		

			We don't need you don't need rocket scientists. We don't need people that are the most highly
qualified people. We just need people to pitch up at a meeting and take on one task and do that. And
that insha Allah is you changing the world. And as we said, This measure perhaps about two 300
people in here. This was the capacity of butter, and that number of people change the world. It's
enough if we have 1000 people that are functioning on that level to allow us
		

			change our community. So all we need, all you really need is that,
		

			but to be consistent and sincere, and work hard, whether it's good, whether it's bad, whether it's
raining, I'm still gonna come for that meeting. And that's what you need to do. So choose one thing
which you can change and voila, he, Allah has put you in me for a reason. You and I have the
greatest of Allah's creation, the angels needs to do to us, greater than the mountains greater than
the oceans, every one is no one pet, no passenger by mistake, Allah has put gifts in each and every
one of us. And it's our responsibility to use that for the betterment of this of this world. So
choose something that you can change, and change it and play your role. Then lastly, so I found my
		

			thing to change, I've looked at all the problems and when you start looking at the world, you'll
realize lots of problems, I can only give myself to this area, or I can't even what's the minimum I
need to do for my community. Again, this high this topic was about the minimum, the basics, not
about the maximum. This is the basics. So what is the minimum I have to do in terms of fixing the
world? How do I know I'm a, a decent person to my community, a beautiful hadith of Buddha. And we
summarize it when he said the Rasulullah what is the best I can do I want to be number one the top.
So he said, jihad, do jihad with yourself and your money. And that is the basic meaning. And to
		

			explain this, you find a problem, make it your priority to fix to do it. So for example, you find we
say brothers, the roof is leaking. instead of complaining, the committee doesn't maintain the roof,
instead of compiling the movies from the director issue. So instead of complaining, instead of
making your alma mater will be fixed and hamdulillah instead of money, you go to the person
charging, so you know what, I will be in charge of it, I will find the money, I will find the
contract, I will manage the project, you don't have to worry about it. That's the base, you find the
problem you in you take that as your baby and you fix it. That is the best. And in every community
		

			and every school in society, their problems, make it your priority, that is the best. If you can't
do that, and the resources that help the people that are busy, then assist the community, the
committee assists them by giving advice, giving them words of support, financial assistance, now
you're the assistant that second base. And lastly, if you can't even do that, you can fix the
problem, you can help in the fixing of the problem. The bottom is what then do not be part of the
problem, then then abuses the system doing mischief. And that is your charity to convict society.
That is your contribution to society, I will not make the situation worse. And if you do that,
		

			again, it's basic, but it's enough, basic and enough So with these simple steps, and this is what
Allah has commanded of us if we can do these simple steps, then be even the law when we do this by
next year and if Allah grants us to be here for 1442 we will see things changing. We will see 300
people doing good in 300 projects, we'll see 300 people just in this Masjid, that are doing the
basics they families doing the basics, avoiding the major sins when hamdulillah we will see that
change in our community. Allah bless you will need in this year. My love list is oma our community.
Now granted this year 4041 is a year of good of hate of Baraka, Allah grant is abundance of
		

			sustenance of goodness, Allah keep us steadfast on our Eman and our Eva that are like six what we
have done and forgive the sins that we've done. am Allah grant Shiva and Rama to those who have
passed away those will mean now, just a few few announcements. Next week Sunday we have our marriage
