Assalamu alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh
		

			and hamdulillah tonight is night number nine. And just another night to go before the first third of
the month of Ramadan is over as part of how quickly is it going, and May Allah grant us the best of
what the domains grant us the strength to get the full benefits of it hamdulillah we've learned so
much from Surah Yusuf and there's so many lessons as Allah says, Lisa Elian, if you're just asking
you, just really once you teach you the use of just once, there's so many lessons that you could
take out for you as a parent for you as a child for someone that has a blessing for someone that
doesn't have a blessing. Everything in the highs and lows. Some things that we learn so far. I hope
		

			that you've noticed every time that we Yousuf Allah mentions that he gets a major blessing. The very
next section is him getting into problems. It begins with him seeing a dream that he's going to be
selected by Allah and he ends up in a well then Allah says he grew up in to be a person that was
righteous Allah bless them with hikma and knowledge and wisdom, and then immediately finds himself
being tested and tired which ultimately lead him into jail. So lies teaching us also that they
easily curse, but blessings in itself that some of us if Allah blesses gives us certain blessings,
it is actually a punishment, it is a form of harming us and the results a lamp would give to some
		

			Sahaba and withhold and when asked why. He says, I'm fear that if I gave this money, or I gave this
position to someone, it would ruin him. Some of us had a law that we crave, we wish we were the CEO,
we wish we were the billionaire that we wish we had all the beauty. Let's imagine we had that kind
of blessings. Imagine we were in the position of Yousuf and we were tempted all the time in this
blessing would actually be a curse. So therefore Allah subhanho wa Taala wants you to realize wants
me to realize that yes, it's good to seek His bounties, but also when he withholds It is sometimes
for our own benefit. The things that he doesn't give us is sometimes a mercy and a blessing. Because
		

			those who have blessings many a time they find it a curse and Allah protect us. Then, of course,
this last few nights that we discussed, the juicy, you know, side of things, it's all to do, about
Xena and the seriousness of this fascia. Now, never Yousuf was tested as we said like no other
person. Other person. No man was tested like us surrounded by fitna calling him to fitna everyone.
The only thing that stopped him was his taqwa in Allah and we live Subhana Allah in a similar time,
as we said, that we are surrounded by fascia and fitness, more so than body more so than even
champion swallows, Shafi saw some angles, and this like blew his mind for us. What we see everyday
		

			swala I think many of the Olia and the scholars can't imagine what we see. And what is accessible to
us is even worse, the property foresees a time will come, they will come a time of patience, meaning
to be steadfast as a believer, it is like holding a burning coal in your hand. And he says to the
Sahaba, to remain righteous in that community will be like 50 of you. So the Sahaba said 50 of them,
the amount of 50 of them 50 of us that means for the Sahaba the amount of 50 companions will be
required to remain steadfast in that kind of environment. Never before in the history of mankind.
Never before if you look at all sorts of civilizations before was you know fascia and immortality
		

			and openness so easily accessible, yes, and hamdullah with a lot of blessings as well in this
environment that we live in. But it does come with a lot of temptations for young people. It is a
norm, it is a norm to fall into sin. It is only one line. If you have a child, even if they don't do
well at school, even if they're not top achievers, but they perform they solder. They haven't fallen
into Xena. They're not on drugs. And this is a family of the Olia of Allah in these kind of children
of pious children. You know, really, really be thankful to Allah subhanho wa Taala that these
children are pious. So how do we maintain our, our image? And how do we maintain ourselves in this
		

			kind of environment? It's vital as an Imam, you find so many people coming to you married couples,
young couples that, you know, temptation overcame one or both partners. Lots of our data reminds us
that none of us wakes up and says today I'm going to commit Zina. Zina is the last step of a gradual
process and shaytaan stick chiffons mission is not for you to commit to Well, he doesn't get you to
commit the final act. He just wants you to take the first step, look, closer touch, taste and then
fall into it and they follow this will not occur. Boo and Xena Don't come close to it. Because this
is one of the most if not the most powerful, powerful desire within us. Allah mentions that men he
		

			is driven by Hogan chahatein and Misa men and women, the most primary biological driving force is to
		

			Go into the you know, to to copulate to, to have *. So therefore, it requires a lot of
self constraint, in no kind of fashion whatsoever. So Viola says that Zina will lead it is a wrong
path, it will lead to destruction. So how do we avoid it? We live in as a society, we are no checks
and balances you and I need to put those checks and balances in place we need to build that Libous
of taqwa Allah says the best clothing you can have is the barrier of taqwa. We have to build that
because our society has removed all of it. So for example, Allah says to the mean, lower your gaze,
and to the sisters as well before he talks about Xena, he says men and women, lower your gaze, it
		

			begins with Look, your sisters, even sisters, look at the biceps and the triceps and the six packs
and all those things, lower your gaze, don't avoid, don't click on those websites don't go in
because that's the beginning of shaytan. taking hold. The promise of some see is the eyes We know
command center that the hands come up Xena by touching that the legs come up Xena by walking the
tongue komatsuna by talking by chatting the fingers, Xena by texting the mouth komatsuna by kissing
and when all of this command Xena, then finally the private parts just confirms what the race was
doing. So she thought tries to get all of those to be corrupted. So protect ourselves. Another very
		

			important thing and something we see. We have to learn this level of segregation is we live in an
open society, we work side by side with members of the opposite *. But Islam tells us with wisdom
with wisdom that if two people are alone long enough, a minute a man and women are alone long enough
shaitan is going to get in between them, that's going to happen. So therefore you and I have to
separate ourselves. Avoid certain close friendships that are impermissible. You can't have a very,
you know, being blunt with you guys, you cannot have a platonic friend that is of the opposite *.
If she's not your wife, she's not your sister, then there's no such thing as that. And similarly for
		

			the sisters, you can't have a BFF that's a male. Right? Not not possible. And this is your husband,
you these are running clubs big fitna and I'm not just saying so because I'm against running alone
Don't have rights, viola. These social clubs, running clubs swaddler moodgym. As we hear these
things, avoid, avoid this intermingling social media face, you know, heinola it's all can be used
positively. But it can be a doorway to shaytaan. So you and I have to put those checks and balances
in place. We have to protect ourselves and so behind Allah, Allah subhanho wa Taala mentioned the
one who is able to overpower this drive. The only way to overpower this thing is through connection
		

			with Allah SW su says that what you are calling me to, I want it I'm attracted to it. But what I
want more than that is the love of Allah only through the love of Allah that you realize I can have
this relationship which is haram, and compromise my relationship with Allah, I prefer Allah subhanho
wa Taala only by preferring Allah when you have the power to move away from that, and therefore of
the for our young people, for example, you know, if you as you're growing up, if you are still in
your teens and you getting to 20, and you're getting you're getting to notice members of the
opposite * and all this stuff, if you can get through your youth not falling into Xena, then we
		

			know that this is one of the people that are shaded by the Arusha law, that one of the people Allah
really loves is a young person that goes through his youth in the obedience of Allah doesn't mean
you need to be the master 24 seven, avoid the major sins, avoid the major sins. And of course we
know that the one who has committed the sin, some of us were falling into that we didn't know and
now we have reformed Allah subhanho wa Taala Of course he says that who ever metabo Well, I mean,
I'm an insanely, however, committed Zina, but then he repeats and he comes back and Allah will
convert his sin into a good deed and Allah grant all our sins to be converted into good deeds, by
		

			all our mistakes. Yeah, Allah be good deeds, and therefore brothers and sisters, as simple Hadees
but a very difficult Hadeeth very, very simple but very, very difficult. Now this one says two
things. If you can guarantee me that you protect that you watch that you preserve what is in your
mouth, between your cheeks, your tongue, and what's between your legs, your private parts, if you
can protect those two things, Jenna is us you are guaranteed Jenna, very, very difficult to control
those two things to control those two things very, very difficult. But that is the means to Jenna.
quickly move on back to our our our is a lots of use of after being tempted as we said not just by
		

			one woman, but a room full of women saying maybe you don't want her come I will take you home and
showing him and dragging his color A B you are telling me either I commit Zina, or I go into jail.
Now think about this for us. We will see that if I don't commit the sin, I'm going to be punished I
have to commit the sin year they told us Have you ever committed the sin you either have *
with us, or you're going to be punished since you've given me an alternative. The punishment is
bitter so so one of the most powerful is of the surah a young man 20 years old in the height of his
passion is called
		

			Be oh my lord I have boo me Marina de la that prison is more our preferred Allah I prefer prison
than this one according to me to work
		

			on Nikita Hoon as possible in our communal janene yeah Allah and look at he's, you know he's an
abbey of Allah. And we think sometimes I see the NBA are super humans but the humans that are angels
that are pieces of wood, he's saying yeah, if you don't help me now, I'm going to incline to them.
I'm at my end, I can't anymore. I am almost the If only you can save me, which shows you that since
vanilla sin is a very, very powerful thing. But only the person who has taqwa he can really push
himself over and if you don't believe me, look at what you're doing. For this month of Ramadan.
You're giving up your food you drink you in your relations, that is what your biology is designed to
		

			do you as a human being is designed to do that you are you're suppressing that constantly. That's
why we are few things we Allah rewards very few things like patience He rewards he says without
limit these know into how much he would you can get this for charity, you give one round this X
amount to getting at what is the upper limit, but cm fasting, there is no limit to that. Because
you're suppressing the thing which you were designed to have for the sake of Allah, your body is
saying Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar all the time, every second Allah except from us.
		

			For the Jabba war, Abu Salah answer is do you want to be averted from this facade, facade, facade of
al Qaeda hoon. In a whole seminar Lima Allah says I came to his assistance in that very difficult
moment. And I averted him from this calamity, because I'm constantly away I see and I know all
things. And then through medalla homi Bhabha, roll it, like you said, you know, like a student who
had that now after seeing all the signs after proving it, the women realized that he is not going to
do this thing. And so they had him imprisoned. It's mentioned here that the wife of Aziz that she
went to the Aziz and she framed Yusuf panela. They accused him of the sin that he's trying to run
		

			away from North America, you understand use morality, with one thing going to jail, but it's one
it's like, you know, if you go to jail as Nelson Mandela, you have your honor and dignity intact,
but you go to jail as a adulterer, as a man who tried to * these women, that hurt, hurt, never
use even more. He went with his honor being tarnished, and he was put in a prison. Think about the
kind of many is how you know how soft he is how pure he is, in the worst of places in the prison,
and he was put in the maximum security prison. Why? Because he wanted to avoid Zina, you want to run
away from it. And so they put him in there and they framed him as she had promised.
		

			Our last two is so non abusive, he's in jail on how long framed in the worst of the maximum
security, we will see now that the people that are with him or people on death row, those are people
being held to be executed. So you can imagine we ease and his environment that he is he's in how
these ups and downs of his life. So behind Allah, wa, and in interview with him, a surgeon, a
surgeon, and in into his cell, two young men came with into the cell with him. So who has been there
for some time, and now two new convicts of routine youngsters young men, called huduma. One of them
said, in arani, aceto camera, the one seat I had a dream last night, I see myself placing grapes,
		

			you know, I'm making wine. We'll call it 100 and the other seat in Irani. See who doesn't
		

			mean who that another thing I also had a dream, I saw myself keeping a loaf of bread on my head. And
the birds were eating from this loaf of bread.
		

			Really he in in naraka scenes panel a beautiful beautiful is one of my favorite is of this of the of
the surah. So they come and they had this strange dream. And now they know it's not a normal dream.
So they come to never use of cell and they say, will you tell us the meaning of this dream? In
naraka mina masini we see you, you're a good person. Even the criminals, even these were genuine
criminals. They could see that this man was not he didn't belong here. He wasn't giving bionz and
giving goodbyes and making hard times he was just being a you know doing what he was doing. And even
though you could see you are a good person in that we assume you assume to be a good person can do
		

			you perhaps have knowledge that we don't about these dreams. Carla, do you say to them, Carla Tacoma
		

			Tacoma comma comma
		

			comma V comma a comma, that I will I will tell you the meaning of these dreams before our meal comes
Of course they as present as they have a meal time. So before lunchtime comes I will tell you the
meaning of the dreams come sit here. Wait for lunchtime before it's lunchtime. I'll tell you the
meaning of the dreams. Why Why is he telling them to wait because you also tell them something more
important than economic
		

			Eliminate Robbie. So he says, I know the meaning of dreams. How do I know my lord has taught me
this? I have special knowledge from my load, who's you know, what is the special knowledge in need
to militare common law you may not be law he will be working capital. So he says, I have lived a
people whose religion do not believe in Allah and they don't believe in the accurate. So before he
talks about the dream, he says, This is not me. I'm just telling you about Allah. He's talking to
them about something more important to receive. The fundamental basis of Islam is the worship of
Allah. If you were to read the Quran, no, we would like but just if you were to read the Quran,
		

			Johan from the beginning of the Quran till the end, one female to extract this La Ilaha Illa. Allah
is none worthy of worship besides Allah, that you and you have a personal relationship with Allah.
You don't need an idol. In Abbey, you don't need a karma. You don't need statues between you and
Allah Nabil Yusuf is telling them about this religion that they didn't know about that this is the
fundamental of this Deen and he begins telling them about this. And the last point where
		

			he didn't look at these people and say these are murderers, rapists, whatever. He's giving Dawa to
them. And he began by saying he's a good person, they noticed his goodness. And he saw even in them
these people could be in the mercy of Allah in the depths of prison. The worst of the worst death
row maximum security these people realize the for them as well. They can also return to Allah we
continue with an abusive tomorrow inshallah last last question, we said when the woman saw an
abusive, what happened to them, they cut the hands and in tonight's question, what is the primary
theme of the Quran we just said a moment ago is the most important thing of the Quran to forced to
		

			worship Allah to give charity to fighting jihad. When just one announcement we will be having our
