Mohammed bin Abdullah, Allahu Allah Allah He was Javi he of la sala de watamu tasleem, a MOBA. As
always, we begin by praising Allah subhanho wa Taala, who is our Creator sustainer nourish,
protector and cure, we ask Allah subhana wa Taala to shaba his choices of blessings and salutations
upon our beloved prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, his family members, his companions
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:51
			and all those who tread upon his path with utmost sincerity until the day of
		
00:00:53 --> 00:01:36
			May Allah subhanho wa Taala make this gathering a gathering where the angels souders with their
wings, the Sakina tranquility philosophy behind them, what Allah descends upon us, and May Allah
subhanho wa Taala envelop us with his Rama and may He make high mention of us in the seven habits,
but he respected elders, brothers and sisters in Islam and shout out either the heart softener for
tonight will be about sugar, about gratitude, because it is incumbent upon us to thank Allah
subhanho wa Taala for the numerous favors and bounties that he has conferred upon us, the numerous
bounties that he has blessed us with, and even if we were to try and count these blessings of Allah
		
00:01:36 --> 00:02:27
			Subhana Allah, we would fail miserably to enumerate all of the favors of Allah subhana wa tada as he
himself as Virgil, rightfully states in the novel for us, we're in charge do la de la sua, that if
you were to try and count the blessings of Allah subhana wa Tada. If you were to try and enumerate
the blessings of Allah subhanho wa Taala, you would not be able to encompass all of the blessings of
Allah subhanho wa Taala, Allahu Akbar, even if we were to be in sajida in sugar towards Allah
subhanho wa Taala our whole lives, even that would not suffice as showing gratitude to our powerful
maker for all of the blessings that he has conferred upon us, but nevertheless, it is upon us as
		
00:02:27 --> 00:03:12

powerful maker, my beloved check him out, even though calling him Rahim Allah, he states from one of
the seller for soya, one of our pious predestine says, He says, that if you want to try and
understand the blessings of Allah subhanho wa Taala or recognize the blessings of Allah subhanho wa
Taala upon you just close your eyes for a moment, just close your eyes for a moment what happens
when you close your eyes, everything around you is pitch darkness, everything around you is pitch
black, you can't see anything. From this. We understand what a great bounty and what a great
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:59
			blessing our eyesight is. Allah subhanho wa Taala has given us such beautiful eyesight, where we see
with so much of clarity, this is just one blessing. If you were to look around ourselves, basically
everything around us is a blessing of Allah subhanho wa Taala we are very loving in an ocean of the
mercy of Allah subhana wa Taala Our lives are entirely permeated, ie saturated in the mercy of Allah
subhanho wa Taala in the blessings of Allah subhanho wa Taala and many respected elders, brothers
and sisters in Islam, the more we show gratitude of unto Allah subhanho wa Taala the mo Allah
subhanho wa Taala is going to give us as he states in the Quran in Shakur tola as either

severe. May Allah subhanahu wa taala save us all from his anger and from his punishment.
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			I wish to share with y'all a story,
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:59
			a story that took place many, many moons ago, a story that was narrated to us by our beloved Master
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and this story is recorded in Bahari. Rasulullah sallallahu
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:47
			SLM is reported to have said that there were three individuals, there were three men who were lost
the Hydra what Allah decided to test so Allah the Almighty same down an angel to test these three
individuals. These three individuals were one, a leper to a blind man and a bald man, a leper, a
bald man and a blind man, Allah subhanho wa Taala sent down an angel to test these three
individuals. The angel goes to the leper. First he goes to this leper, a person who is afflicted
with leprosy. He his skin is afflicted with a rash. He is not a pleasant sight to look, people don't
like to be by him because of his disease. The angel goes to him, you know, like Aladdin and the
		
00:05:47 --> 00:06:33
			magic lamp. He goes to him and says, What do you wish? Do you have a wish? the leper, naturally he
is suffering from a very troublesome disease. He wants to come out of it. He says, I wish that Allah
subhanho wa Taala kills me of this disease, Hadith in Bukhari, the angel Praise to Allah Subhana
Allah, Allah and Allah the Almighty cures that individual completely from his disease, leprosy,
Allahu Akbar, and then the wishes don't stop. What else do you wish? the leper then says, or the
angel asked him? What do you wish from wealth? What do you wish from wealth to which the the leper
says, I wish that I be blessed with plenty of camels, Allahu Akbar, I want herds of camels, the
		
00:06:33 --> 00:07:16
			angel Praise to Allah subhanho wa Taala. And the individual is blessed with a pregnant she camel
that gives birth multiplies and now he owns herds of camels, Allahu Akbar. Now the angel goes to the
bald man, and he asks the bald man, what do you wish? The bald man says? Naturally, I'm suffering
because I don't have hair. I wish to have beautiful long hair. The narration goes along the lines of
these words, the angel Praise to Allah subhanho wa Taala and the man is blessed with beautiful hair.
And then the angel asks him What do you wish from wealth? He says I wish to own I wish to own cows
and bulls, Allahu Akbar. Then the angel Praise to Allah subhanho wa Taala he is blessed with a
		
00:07:16 --> 00:08:02
			pregnant cow. That cow gives birth multiplies and now he owns cows and bulls. The angel now goes to
the blind man and asked him What do you wish? I wish that Allah subhanho wa Taala restores my
eyesight back so that I'll be able to see things with clarity, the angel Praise to Allah The man is
blessed with his eyesight. And now the angel asks him What do you wish from? Well, he says, I wish
to own flocks of sheep, the angel Praise to Allah subhanho wa Taala. He's blessed with a pregnant
sheep that gives birth multiplies and now he owns flocks of sheep, after some time, now what was
behind them what Allah sends the angel to test them. Allah gave them bounties, Allah opened the dose
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:41
			of blessings for them. And now comes the test. Now comes the trial. The angel goes to the leper in
the guise of a leper, the angel goes to the man who was a leper before in the guise of a person who
has been afflicted with leprosy. And he goes to that man and says, oh, slaver for law, do you see
I'm afflicted with leprosy? Can you help me out? I see you have a lot of wealth. Please help me out.
The man says, what, what are you doing here? Get out of here. All of this wealth. I earned it with
my hard work. I put in a lot of elbow grease to get all of this wealth. This is mine. Get out of
here. He chases the angel. The angel goes to the bald man. And then he says oh slave of Allah. He
		
00:08:41 --> 00:09:28
			goes in the guise of a bald man. He says, Look at me, I've been afflicted by a disease. Please help
me out. The bald man says, you see all this wealth. I inherited it belongs to my forefathers. This
is my wealth. I have nothing to give you get out from here. But the angel now goes to the blind man.
And he says oh slaver for law. Help me out. He goes to the guise of a blind man. I am I'm blind.
Allah subhanho wa Taala has blessed you with all of this wealth. Please help me out. That man. He
says, You know what? I used to be a blind man. Allah subhana wa Taala he blessed me so much. He gave
me back my eyesight. He gave me all of these wells that you see around me. You take whatever you
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:59
			wish because all of that belongs to Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah Akbar. The angel then says, this
was a test by Allah subhana wa, ala, your two friends, they failed the test. And Allah the Almighty
is angered with them Allahu Akbar, but you succeeded in this test. And Allah subhanho wa Taala is
pleased with you. So my dear respected elders, brothers and sisters in Islam, whatever you see
around you is from the blessings of Allah subhanho wa Taala. So
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:47
			Do not ever leave or do not ever turn away from Allah subhanho wa Taala without showing gratitude
unto Allah subhanho wa Taala, Salah funa soya some of them are reported to have said that sugar is
basically to feast your eyes on the near Ummah, that Allah Subhana what Allah has blessed you with,
with a sense of reverence towards the Mona aim towards the one who gave you that bounty, that
blessing. Say you have this blessing in front of you, it is upon you to feast your eyes on that
blessing while having the reverence for the one who gave you that blessing. Allahu Akbar. Another
righteous person is reported to have said that sugar is to focus your attention towards the source
		
00:10:47 --> 00:11:33
			of the benefit towards the source of the bounty and not to focus your attention on to the bounty
itself. Say Allah subhanho wa Taala has blessed you with wealth. If Allah the Almighty has opened
the dose of wealth for you, do not focus on the wealth. Do not get overwhelmed by the wealth. Do not
let the wealth enter your heart, but rather focus your attention towards the giver towards the one
who gave you that well, and show gratitude unto him and love him. Fill your heart with the love for
that creator Allahu Akbar. And if you do that, Allah subhanahu wa taala will open the doors of
Baraka, Allah subhana wa tada will open the doors of goodness for you resulting in whatever that
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:59
			blessing may be, it will be multiplied many fold for you. Allahu Akbar. I have one final story. And
this took place in the lives of our Salah funa Sala, there was once a man who was journeying and he
passed by a shake. He asked that the shake was an old man. He was around 70 to 80 years of age. He
asked him Yeah, Chef, please tell me something from your life. Then the chef says, you know, young
lad.
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:47
			I when I was young, I was madly in love with my cousin sister. I was madly in love with my cousin
sister. And she too likewise, she was madly in love with me. We love one another. We didn't do
anything wrong. What we did was we approached our parents and we ended up marrying one another. We
married now we were madly in love with one another we married and on the night of the marriage when
I entered the room of my bride. She told me Oh my dear husband, let us spend this night instead of
spending it together. Let us spend it in the worship of Allah subhanho wa Taala as a gesture of
sugar, as a gesture of gratitude towards Allah subhanho wa Taala who brought us together let us
		
00:12:47 --> 00:13:31
			spend this night in worship, to which I agreed and we spent the night completely in the worship of
Allah subhanho wa Taala The following night to we spent it in the worship of Allah subhanho wa Taala
the night after that the night after that, the night after that, and today I am 80 years old or 70
years old, every single night, me and my wife my wife and I we have been spending it in the worship
of Allah subhanahu wa taala as gratitude to Allah subhanahu wa taala but we still feel that this is
not enough gratitude shown to a loss of a high net worth Allah Allahu Akbar, my dear respected
elders, brothers and sisters in Islam, do not turn away from Allah subhanho wa Taala show gratitude
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:55
			unto Him and He will bless you in your lives in this world as well as the hereafter. And with that
we conclude We ask Allah Subhana Allah to forgive all of our sins, and we asked him the almighty to
accept our good deeds. And we asked him also to unite us just as how he united us here tonight in
the gardens of genda with our beloved Master Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Baka Dawa in
