The speakers emphasize the importance of being aware of the current pandemic and taking action to prevent future problems. They stress the negative impact on one's life and the need for a change in risk management. The importance of prioritizing one's health and family, avoiding risk, and preserving wealth is emphasized. The segment also promotes a course on Islam for wealth and family, and encourages viewers to visit the Islamic auditorium for a classroom on Islam.

Bismillah Rahim al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen wa salatu salam ala Sayyidina Muhammad wa ala alihi
wa sahbihi Jermaine, my beloved brothers and sisters in Islam, but Santa Monica Monica de la Hill
but I
00:00:14 -->
00:00:39
mean all praise to Allah subhana wa tada and Allah in the law we have a witness that none has the
right to worship besides Allah subhanho wa Taala within our love in greeting so beloved Nabil
Mohammed salatu salam, to inspire some people family to his companions and all those who follow his
suit until the end of time. May Allah subhana wa tada granted steadfastness on the tsunami, Muhammad
Sallallahu Sallam mela, Allah forgive us and bless us and granted genital philadelphus I mean, when
hamdulillah
00:00:40 -->
00:01:23
Al Hamdulillah, Allah subhanho wa Taala has granted us to be and this past week past weekend also
has been a difficult week. And if you are a part of being an A Muslim is to be informed part of
knowledge is to know what's happening around you. And sometimes we become so engrossed in our own
day to day work and moving from one deadline to the next that we don't really take note of what's
happening around us. So, you should know for example, and then reports coming out just quite
recently, that in Delhi, for example, in India, Delhi, they are riots going on where Muslims are
being targeted quite badly, and make my daughter this ins, but it is Hindu extremism where all the
00:01:23 -->
00:01:59
induce minority, but a very powerful minority of Hindus that are supported by the government are
burning mosques and killing Muslims. And we feel a place like India, which is very sectarian, it can
become out of hand very quickly. So we make dua that Allah subhanaw taala makes it easy that this
talk will mention certain things that will frustrate you. But remember, there are people who are
going through bigger frustrations, and what can we do about these frustrations? I think that's the
more important question. So there's that happening. And we watch that in detail. the very least
everyone should be informed, go and find out what's happening and make dwama Allah subhanaw taala
00:01:59 -->
00:02:04
protect them. Then of course, you should know by now you've heard about the Coronavirus
00:02:05 -->
00:02:46
spreading. And unfortunately, it doesn't look like you know, we're able to fully contain this virus
and it's gone to countries outside of China, and so much to discuss maybe a whole topic devoted to
that. We also what what was important yesterday was that Saudi Arabia has now stopped issuing visas
formula, and that people are coming into Saudi some people who have booked tickets, they might not
get a visa, my own mom, for example, she's in South Africa, she's got a visa to go, we're not sure
if we'll be able to travel next week, who's behind Allah, it's it's wanting science. And it also
shows you our, our weakness before Allah subhanaw taala this virus is actually so small, you can't
00:02:46 -->
00:03:25
even see it. But all our technology, all our grandia all those things can do nothing against the
might of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And we take some mention to the vehcile salaam listen to this
Hadith, the prophet who says, If you is what he was saying, if you hear that it is these plague a
virus in one land, they don't travel to that land. And if it breaks out in your land, they don't
leave, hopefully, you stay behind. And so on a lot of time, when there was no concept of viruses and
the spreading of virus, this is a miracle in itself. But it's guidance for us that quarantine is the
way to do it. And then we pray the last one grants us a cure for that.
00:03:26 -->
00:04:04
On the local front, we saw the killing of children, you know, smile, very sad, our own kids are not
protected. What do we do as a community these questions? Can you mean, you know, how do we call out
if our kids are not safe? Then what exactly is it that our government provides for us? And then, of
course, what is important, and on that point, all we can do again as a community is to get together,
work hard in our you know, being angry and frustrated. It's fine, we all angry and frustrated. But
that anger must be channeled into something constructive. And that is we we need to discuss what do
we do as a community. But these are all the things happening in our community, we must be aware of
00:04:04 -->
00:04:41
this, then, of course, the big thing that happened last week, or this week, which is relevant to all
of us and to all of you is the budget speech, and that is what my focus on football is today. But in
the context of that from this budget speech, again, a lot of things that will frustrate you, failure
of government, which is going to make you and me poor, it's going to cost you and myself money. But
again, when we look back when we look at what's happening in the rest of the world, I'm not saying
don't be frustrated, don't do anything about it. But who said hamdulillah Al Hamdulillah if our only
worry is that financially, if our only concern is financial and then hamdulillah Yeah, Allah then we
00:04:41 -->
00:04:59
can we are socially so give sugar to what we have. So this talk was purely based on the budget
speech and then these other issues arose and I thought it was right, we have to mention them and
inshallah we'll devote a full topic before Juma Hooda. on these issues. We also have the law the
representatives of IDP. Jeremy is in the crowd.
00:05:00 -->
00:05:06
We'll wait him out later on insha Allah, you should actually be giving the hook. But let's getting
back to our topic of today.
00:05:07 -->
00:05:42
So you should know. And I, as I mentioned, as Muslims, we should be aware of what's happening in the
world. And more important, you should be aware of the things that influences you directly. And there
was his budget speech, which I know you heard about, but many of us don't really fully understand,
what is the relevance to me, how does this impact my life? What does that mean for me, and I will
give you some of the financial implications. A lot of this is you'd be charged a lot more, if you
were to get this information outside of Juma, you'd be charged by the hour but then from the law,
you get this, you get this free of charges, magdoff was some points to consider on this. As a
00:05:42 -->
00:06:23
nation, we have about 29% unemployed people 30% of the country is not working, we should be working.
That is not that is a very what they call the summarized number, the true number is around 40,
because they have a 10% of the population who can't work and have stopped looking for a job. So 40%
of the working people that should be working, is sitting at home, not working, not productive. And
that is catastrophic. Most likely, you don't find countries in the world, except countries going
through war that have numbers like that. And it shows your society cannot be sustainable. If half of
its people that should be working, is not working, our economy is going to grow less than 1%, which
00:06:23 -->
00:06:37
means we are basically getting poorer. As a country, we are getting poorer. The government dict I
think of your own day, everyone has debts we owe people we owe the bank. Only Sharia compliant did
for all of us. Of course, if not, you have to fix it. But the government takes
00:06:38 -->
00:07:07
66% of its GDP. What does that mean? Basically, the government owes so much money, that if it paid
back a billion Rand every day, every single day, 1 billion Rand back to the bank, it will take 10
years to pay that back. 3.6 trillion Rand, that's how much the government owes, and it's just
getting bigger and bigger. So who owes that money? When I say the government, it means you and me,
you and I will have to find a solution for that. And as the debt grows, you know, in this river
system, the interest grows. And so
00:07:08 -->
00:07:16
if you look at where the government is spending money, the third biggest expenditure of the
education of the social grants
00:07:18 -->
00:07:58
is to pay back debt. The third biggest thing the government is paying back is to the bank. More than
it's painful police to protect your children more than it's painful, old people, school hospitals
and these things, it needs to pay back banks. This is what why due to reckless spending, due to
stealing due to corruption. That's the reason why we in such bad debt, if we were in big debt, and
we could say Alhamdulillah, we can show we both things we've made roads and houses and educated
millions, we haven't done any of that. So this money has been purely misappropriated. And what makes
this worse is the people who have to shoulder the state, if 40% is not working, only about 3 million
00:07:58 -->
00:08:38
out of the 56 million are contributing, you know, to 95% of the tax, meaning. For those of you Yeah,
you have that 3 million you're paying your taxes, you have to shoulder the burden of 20 people in
this country, for every one of us that are paying a decent amount of tax, your burden, you are a
burden to look after 20% 20 other people. And if you add up what you really pay in taxes. So for
those of you who work for a company, you play 20 30% Pay As You earn, the government takes it off
before I mean that you're your boss, your work takes it off, and you get the net amount. When you
pay 15% VAT on every single time you buy a loaf of bread, you pay anything, you're paying 15% back,
00:08:38 -->
00:09:20
your pixel has special taxes on it, your rates that you pay to the government, yes, taxes and its
effect on that. So you have taxes on the taxes. If you look at it, you are paying close to 50% of
your we'll work production is for the government to keep the government have looked that is what's
happening. The only consolation that you have the only thing that gives me some kind of comfort is
that we pray on the day of karma, we can say Allah 50% of whatever I earned was for sadaqa because
at 50 we pray goes to children to orphans to widows, that's the only consolation we get. So the
government has a big problem to balance its books. I'm just giving you back information. And it can
00:09:20 -->
00:09:59
no longer tax the working man anymore. It realizes it can't do that. It cannot do that. Because it's
getting to a point that if you tax him even more, if you try to milk the cow any more than the cow
is going to die. He will immigrate to Australia basically. So what needs to be done now and what the
government has realized to make this decision, they have to cut the spending, and they have to
basically cut the salaries of its government employees. That's where it's gonna go. So if any of you
are working for the government, for the municipality, for provincial government, national
government, you are policemen. You are a nurse, a teacher, a nurse, whatever it might be.
00:10:00 -->
00:10:36
You are going to shoulder the bulk of this burden, the government is going to try and save and 60
billion by cutting salaries, reducing your increases through that, and this is going to be a big
fight. Obviously, unions aren't happy about this. And so Subhanallah it's going to be pain and
misery, and again, why it wasn't the fault of teachers or nurses. It was the fault of the people on
top, the corrupt people on top that have stolen and mismanaged and wasted billions, that now the
government is trying to get out of this hole. So what does that mean for us again, what do we do?
And this would be you've heard it before, but inshallah it's more relevant now. Since all of us are
00:10:36 -->
00:11:13
feeling more impoverished, to the fact that we have a job and hamdulillah but all of us are looking
for ways of increasing our risk of putting Baraka Allah in the little we have made go a little bit
further, how can we increase our subsistence and put Baraka in our in our risk? When I when I do
this foot bus, usually I speak to my colleagues and a friend of mine when he was sitting next to me
said, one of the ways to increase risk stopping taxes, unfortunately, that's not an option. It will
increase your your your outcome, but inshallah we have to pay those things, when we do other
accounts, etc, in the end of the day, so how do we increase our risk some points for you and for me,
00:11:14 -->
00:11:52
if your salary is not going up, you're a government employee. And I hope I pray Allah grants you a
good raise whatever it might be. But if it doesn't happen, there are alternatives for you. I'm in a
company, unfortunately, things are not going so well. So you don't see the bonuses you don't see
increases like you expect Alhamdulillah we have a job. So how but how do I supplement my income from
a spiritual side, because Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks about this thing called Baraka, that for
one person, the same amount, the same cup will go a lot further than for someone else. And Allah
subhanho wa Taala, if he blesses a little, it will bring you a lot of goodies from that, whereas
00:11:52 -->
00:12:03
others will have so much, but they are like a leaking bucket that it will not be of any benefit, it
will never they won't be able to hold this thing. So how do we put Baraka in our risk? And how do we
increase it?
00:12:04 -->
00:12:40
The first thing we need to do is you have to seek your risk. Allah has provided us with sustenance,
but if you do not look for it, we'll search for it, it will not come to you, it will not come to you
directly. And therefore there are many people who don't work. We might know family members that
complain about how things are, but they're not putting in the effort that they should to either find
the job or if there is no job that they don't have a skill to better themselves. So many people we
know they've lived matric, they never matriculated. But they couldn't find a job well, either you
need to go back to school or go to a nightclub, get a matric certificate, and try this many
00:12:40 -->
00:13:18
opportunities to learn. If you're not working, and you should be learning, there's only two options
for you. Unless you're completely unable to work. You're too old, too young, too sick to work, when
in that case, when you can get a social grant. Other than that Subhanallah you should be working the
prophets of Salaam says that if you really had through tawakkol reliance on Allah, and part of
relying on Allah is to take the ASVAB taking the means to achieve your your destination. So if you
truly relied on Allah, the Prophet says, If you relied a lot on salam, he Allah will provide for
you, just like he provides for the birds, in what way the birds go out in the morning with no food
00:13:18 -->
00:13:55
in the stomach, but they all of them returned back full. There's not a single bird you find fell on
the floor. starvation tax was too much they couldn't find this. You don't find any of the pigeons of
the birds, they go out search for it. And Allah has put these out every single one of them every
single day. But they need to go out and fly and look for it. And that's the same for all of us.
There's a lot of people in our country, that it is the answer lies in laziness. And so should we
look for examples of a famous slide he says when there's hot aka when there's action, these Baraka
Baraka only comes after the action, so secretly to make a change if your job is not giving you what
00:13:55 -->
00:14:04
you want, make a change, you know, you have to also take control of your destiny. The second thing
to put Baraka, Baraka is a spiritual thing
00:14:05 -->
00:14:44
is to seek is to make a step far one of the beautiful things obviously far one of the good
byproducts of his default so you made a sudden you say yeah Allah forgive me Your mind is on that
sin and protection from punishment. On the side Allah puts Baraka in your wealth how now we know sit
to his people for cool to stop fearing robber coming in no kind of a foreigner to them. ask Allah
for forgiveness. Surely he's forgiving me. Allah will forgive you. You will see some Alico Mirada
that Allah will Vincent but only when He forgive you since he will seem the skies up in the shower
was upon showers, you will get blessing rain, what you need to come be unwell and he will increase
00:14:45 -->
00:14:59
in your affluence He will make you rich just by making a stokfella so if you have a worry in your
mind financially and we also handle their financial worries, we make your Allah for the five minutes
extra every day I'm going to say another 100 stocks at a loss
00:15:00 -->
00:15:39
I'm going to do that and see what happens to your paycheck. See what happens to expenses. And Allah
says you will increase you in the Baraka in your children and your family and then he will give you
Jeanette, you will give you gardens and plantations, onehowto and rivers, all kinds of money and all
kinds of wealth will come to you. cost you nothing, mean nothing to make you step far, a lot.
Someone says, I promise you make it stiffer, you will get an increase in that. Number three, taco
taco, of course, his relationship with Allah. But what it also means in the context of money, it's
about doing the right thing. For the sake of Allah, even if it doesn't make sense here on the dunya
00:15:39 -->
00:16:19
you've always pleased with me, I have a decision to make a financial decision in particular, but I
choose it for the sake of Allah, I find myself in a difficulty someone is harming me at work,
something is not going right in my life. You just do what is right. Last week we spoke about dealing
with difficult people. You do what is right, what Allah even if it means to sacrifice something. And
then Allah says to you, well, maybe tequila and whoever is in a problem, but he is conscious of
Allah. Allahu Maharaja, Allah says, I will forgive you away out. You don't worry about how to get
out of that Miss, it's my job to do that. Why are Sukhumi faithful and I will provide you the risk
00:16:19 -->
00:16:56
from a way you could not have ever predicted. If you do everything you're supposed to do. you've
searched for your risk. You've worked hard, you've made your your dependency and Allah you've made
da. Now the ball is you know, metaphorically speaking in a loss court. Now it's a last turn to do
his job. And so Allah says if you do your part and have Taqwa he will provide for you of risk from a
way you cannot imagine. Maybe the budget minister should have misread this. He can't he says Where
do I find this money? There's no Avenue anymore. do what's right minister have a coin Allah do what
is right. Allah will make that budget balanced for you don't have to worry.
00:16:58 -->
00:17:13
Another I also know that if the people of the city I know they believe what the coup and they had a
taqwa of me left Atlanta I would have opened up I lay him upon them Baraka 30 minutes and I will, I
will open up the treasures of the earth and the sky for him.
00:17:15 -->
00:17:55
For 1000s of years under the feet of the Arabs, there was this gold of his black gold. And when
Allah decided to come and is more under the earth and more in the sky, the teachers have a lovey,
but you only give it to people when and if they are deserving of it. So let's find the grantors of
good Avi stages in a good way in this era. Close to taqwa. Number four is avoiding haraam income and
spending in her arm. Allah mentions what ever you pay as Riba and yeah, whatever you give it to him
and yeah, again, it's important Allah actually spoke about the one who gives, of course receiving is
even worse. But when you give Riba you're paying that Riba bond, you're paying Riba on your call,
00:17:55 -->
00:18:03
what is the let's say, so that it may increase you the wealth of people does not it will not
increase, your wealth will not increase, you will stay indebted and you'll stay in poverty.
00:18:04 -->
00:18:40
Now, sometimes I know we want to buy a house, I'm in the same situation as you. You can't buy afford
to buy a car. They are Sharia compliant alternatives you need to do is pick up the phone and phone
one of the banks and say give me a shadier alternative. That's what you have done your job. But so
long as you continue paying your Reba bond, you continue paying Riba on your car, you continue
investing in Haram, Allah says your wealth will not increase you have chosen that way. And so that
is why the wealth will not increase and we seek without government is exactly the same. We have
decided to go on the route of borrowing and paying interest and now we are in a hole that is very
00:18:40 -->
00:19:24
difficult to get out. Number five, number five, to increase your sustenance in risk is amazing thing
of hygiene. And I know the visas are now short. And Allah grant this to to open up and to be
molecule this disease and grant us to return to the holy lands of McCann, Medina, but the prophets
of Salaam says follow up between hodzic meramec as much hijama as you can, because they both
eliminate poverty and sin, like the blacksmith or the furnace eliminates impurities from iron golden
silver. And there's nobody would of course for height except genital Jenna, there's nobody would
find except that he shipped. Jenna. So this Hadeeth it's amazing Hadeeth. And I'm amazed when I
00:19:24 -->
00:19:59
teach, for example, hedge classes, and you find people take years to save up to go for the first
overall hedge and then afterwards, it just becomes frequent that they go from raw hedge. Where did
that money come from? The exchange, it's getting more expensive. Visa costs are more expensive.
Tickets are more expensive, but now every year that's going on hydrometer How is that possible? This
is the Baraka that Allah spawn has placed in that you've made that journey you could have gone
overseas for that holiday for that money for some holiday but you chose an ombre and so Allah will
put Baraka in your sustenance instead
00:20:00 -->
00:20:43
Issue number six establishing family ties the profits of some seeds, whoever is pleased with the
fact that he's risk be increased and his lifespan. That's an amazing thing. I don't know of any
other thing that increases your life. But yes, you have an expiration date, but you want to make it
go longer, then let him establish and keep family ties. So be good to your family may be the answer.
And I think this for myself, maybe the answer in my job, the dead end I have in my job, all the
problems I have financially is not lying in working hard at work or fighting hard at work, but it is
to be a better husband or father or, or son to my parents maybe lies in that that brother I've never
00:20:43 -->
00:21:23
spoken to, to, to keep the family ties and then Allah subhanho wa Taala will give you that raise
that you wanted that bonus that you did not you hope for. Another way of increasing risk is attached
to that is marriage, to marry for the right reasons. Of course, if you're not able to also, you
should not get married, but if you're able financially, physically mentally, maturely to get
married. Then Allah says that you should wanky hold I am in Kumasi in that marry those among you who
are single marry the single people. And the good do is have your mail even if their sleeves mean a
bicycle, my email income, right? So even if you're married back in the day, you had slavery right?
00:21:24 -->
00:22:03
Today, so the only slavery is in marriage, outside of marriage. So in the past, people would not
marry a slave. Even if he was a pious person, a good Muslim. People would say why would I marry a
slave is a poor person, but Allah says if the person is a good person, she's a good good woman. Good
man. buddies means in our terms, you have two options. The person who has a high flyer they've got a
well paying job, got all the degrees and Mashallah driving the fancy car but the deen is lacking and
you have another brother who is also interested in you, but the dean is there but the dunya isn't
the last one says marry that person who is good for your deen. And that but if in your Kunal fukada,
00:22:03 -->
00:22:41
if they are poor use Newman law homing fugly he that Allah will increase them in his with his with
his bounties. But if that person is a good person, that Allah subhanaw taala will look after them.
So always remember, when we get some of you of us we are at that age when we're getting married.
When you look for a partner for your for your daughter, your son, not financial be the first thing
that you look at yesterday, important thing to consider, but rather marry that person to your son or
your daughter who has a good relationship with Allah. Because if they see to the rights of Allah
always feel safe, Allah will see to them and Allah will look after them and make sure that they
00:22:41 -->
00:23:13
don't fall out of the sky Like you said, like the birds, they will get the risk wherever it is.
Number eight giving charity, this increases your risk. This increases your risk. Allah swans is
Mandela ukri la COVID en hacer una who is it of you who will give Allah alone? Alone? Why is it
alone? Every South Africa is alone, why sort of donation? So accounting wise, yes, I put this
donation meaning you're not going to get that back. But in the sight of Allah when Allah does that
equals its alone, meaning you must be paid back. And Allah is the only one who pays interest, he
gives back with interest,
00:23:14 -->
00:23:42
a guaranteed interest. So that Allah says who's going to give a lot a good loan, so that he can give
you and multiplied many times over you're not going to get a percentage of what you gave, you are
going to get multiples of it, in return. And it is Allah and Allah says remember when you give to me
when you give to my cause, when you give to any institution for the sake of Allah, Allah says
anything but I am the one that gives an IRA takeaway. So if you're good with me, no must be to give
you where you need it.
00:23:43 -->
00:24:25
Allah says though, the likeness of the one who sins visa vd like America, we know this very famous
idea. But if you don't want to donate one seed, one grain in the path of Allah, then that grain will
grow into a plant that will reap 700 grains. One Rand Allah says, In return, Allah think that
investment return is 700 times more, you won't get any other return on Earth, no other business, no
other thing will give you a return like that. And the profits is also the only reason that you are
eating victory, and provided maybe the owner of the property, maybe the only reason you have a job,
that you have a paycheck every 25th of the month, is because that's what the sustenance do to you
00:24:25 -->
00:24:39
because of the weak people in the community, that you support the weak. It is because you're giving
charity because you're looking after your family, not because of you that you still have a risk
every month. And the more you give, the more loss pantalla will give to you in return.
00:24:41 -->
00:24:52
Number nine, being honest in your business dealings, the profits also and this is why we see the
reality of our country today. There was a lack of honesty.
00:24:53 -->
00:24:59
The suppliers want to cheat the government the government was cheap the suppliers corruption is in
so now everyone becomes poor
00:25:00 -->
00:25:33
When the Baraka is taken out, the whole community becomes impoverished. So the prophecies solo
seldom, when two parties have a transit, the two parts of transaction have the right meaning as long
as they don't separate from each other, they have the right to a novel contract. So when you're
buying, so while you're still in negotiations, you're not forced in it. So if they were now while
you're negotiating the prophecies, so some of them so if they were to fool to one another, and
honest in explaining the defects, then they will be blessed in that transaction, both of them, I was
going to make both of them when the buyer and the seller, the thing you both will have Baraka in it,
00:25:33 -->
00:26:13
and the seller will got the money also put barakah in what he got. But if they lied, and they eat
the defects of the item, the blessings of the transaction are destroyed, and that entire thing will
become a more of a curse than a blessing. And so every time you do, you cut a corner, you think
you're going to overcharge this guy, you're going to put that faulty part in the car, you're going
to something in your business. Remember, it will come back to bite you later on. The product is
gone, and alone will not only take the buttock out, but you don't know how much it will affect you
not maybe as we said, financial knocks are the easy ones. What about the knocks of your health or
00:26:13 -->
00:26:36
your family? May Allah protect those things are some things we can't, we can't tolerate. So simple
things, be an honest, in the dealing. Yes, we live in a dishonest society. Maybe you love that you
work in a dishonest department or company or even when you maintain your honesty and your integrity.
That's what it needs to be a Muslim if it means you're the stranger. Alhamdulillah been glad tidings
to the stranger.
00:26:37 -->
00:27:21
Number 10. To to worship Allah as he deserved. So yes, you have to go out and give time to search
your disk and for your kids and your family. But don't take that which is belongs to Allah so that
you may acquire money and I give an example, more relevant to you and me. We're time muscle time
some people say I'm working I can't I need to miss my workouts. If that's the case of heinola then
that's unacceptable. You have taken what belongs to Allah and you've prioritized your job over that.
You have to perform your sada on time and look at what Allah says if you prioritize work over Allah,
then or money over Allah, Allah says, Oh son of Adam, take time out to constantly worship me. And I
00:27:21 -->
00:27:26
will fool your chest with the rich richness and I will remove your poverty
00:27:28 -->
00:27:36
and if you do not do so, but if you don't do that, you put a lot on the back burner. Your career
comes first you make the tattoo to that
00:27:38 -->
00:28:19
of the shy all your works together. Then Allah says in that case, I will make your hands very busy
filled with occupation, you will work very, very hard, but your poverty will not be removed. You
will work hard and hard in your job but you will go no week. That is the promise from Allah subhanaw
taala. So take your time, give Allah is work hard and Allah will increase your risk. And all of this
even better than that he will put wealth in your heart, your heart will become filled with with
addiction sci fi will sleep at night feeling better than the richest people on earth. Very close to
that on the day of Juma Allah someone says that, Oh, you were believed when the call to pray comes,
00:28:19 -->
00:28:57
then come for Juma. Close your business now close that shop. Now it is better for you. Then proceed
to the remembrance of Allah and leave your trade that is better for you. If only you knew if you
prioritize Allah, Allah says what you get in return. You and we have done this Alhamdulillah we
heard the call to pray, you left your job, you left your meetings, you live everything and you came
to tomorrow. This was the beta transaction. And then when you go out Allah Swansea's, then go out
and look for the bounties of Allah and remember and still remember Allah, go out and do your job.
But remember, keep Allah in mind. Remember the football you've learned inculcated in your life. And
00:28:57 -->
00:29:33
this is going to be this will grant you success, you will get the success index from Surah calf
which we should be reading every Friday. I hope you all read it today or you read it before Margaret
in sha Allah, try this as a sunan Fridays are sitting in traffic put Soraka on if you haven't
memorized it, you don't have to listen to it to recite it. This is one of the great that gives you a
light and a prediction for that week, three examples of how to preserve your wealth. Number one, we
know the rich man and he looked at his portfolio, his gardens and he looked at all Marsha, you know,
she didn't say much. That's the problem. He looked at all these wonderful things. His cause is and
00:29:33 -->
00:29:59
he says, I don't think this will ever ever come to an end. My Empire will last forever. And if I
should you know even if they have kiama comes surely I'll get even bigger than this. He forgot where
he came from. He forgot where he got this. He didn't say Masha Allah. And because of that, because
of his arrogance, Allah Subhana Allah in one word Allah says and we set out to be somebody we
surrounded everything that he had, and he lost everything so quickly, Allah, Allah can change
00:30:00 -->
00:30:38
The tables Don't forget when you're on top where you came from and who gave it to you who gave Who
Who gave it to you and who can take it away. So if you are sitting comfortably if you log on and you
when you get when you get that bank when you get that payday that chick or that chicks that is run
along with each other when you get the EFT right you see that? Say Masha Allah say Michelle that
along with Baraka, when you look at your family, Masha Allah, your wife will become more beautiful
to you Your kids will become more pleasing to you. You call you start Masha Allah meaning this is
from the this is by the decree of Allah Allah in His infinite knowledge and wisdom before the
00:30:38 -->
00:31:18
creation of time he had decreed this portion of risk will go to Muhammad, this woman will be your
wife. These kids will be used Masha Allah not me. Not me. Now Subhan Allah say that remember who is
the originator of everything. So say Masha Allah a lot. Me number two on surah calf, we know this we
know that NaVi moose and Fidelis Salaam were trying to cross a river. They didn't to ambia Allah the
Holy Spirit on Earth, but one Rand on st in a pocket. Think about that also. And they couldn't cross
the river. And so the only they found a boat that allowed him to come for free. And these weren't
miskeen they were poor people. And so these poor people allow them to travel for free. And we know
00:31:19 -->
00:31:46
the damage the boat. And he explained later on that there was a king who was going to come and seize
the boat, take it from them, and it would have killed him. But he speed because it was damaged, he
lifted. The moral of the story is they use that boat for the service of Allah. They gave me the
charity, not knowing who these two poor people they didn't know this is Moosa and he did. They just
thought these are two people we need to cross the river has come on board. And because they use it
for the service of Allah, Allah save the entire boat,
00:31:47 -->
00:31:56
your assets, your wealth, your children and yourself your knowledge, give a portion of it for the
sake of Allah and Allah will bless the entire thing.
00:31:57 -->
00:32:38
Number four, Number Number 14, we know the story of the orphans as well. The father was a pious man,
and he lifted Tisha for them, and Allah has protected that treasure. So one of the ways that Baraka
can come to you is through the piety of a grandfather or parent, whoever it might be. That may be
the blessings that you and I have is because of a granny 50 years ago that made dua for her
grandkids. That's why you have a job. And also if you want to put Baraka in your kids, if you are a
pious person, then that Baraka can even go down to our children and Allah protect our children and
have mercy on our parents and that they foster general widows. Lastly, with all this bad news,
00:32:38 -->
00:33:19
