two Muslim on my right. And so my brothers and sisters, this is another opportunity for us to gather
on this blessed day of this blessing our of Yeoman jumaane and first and foremost we pray that Allah
subhanho wa Taala give us all the blessings and the rewards of this beautiful day. And we pray that
Allah subhanho wa Taala reunite us in his masajid and places of worship sooner rather than later in
		

			sha Allah hotel Allah Allahu me. So today I want to share with you a couple of verses that is found
in sort of a sort of sort of a sort of, so let's get right to it guys. Allah subhana wa Taala tells
us what could insert an Elsa nanopore era who fear Okay, why no hurry to love We all know pm a Tiki
tab a young man Sure. Yep, Cora kita back Kaffir BNF ck young Malaika has Seba many teda in ma de la
FC well known Bala in NEMA yo de la la jolla while I was zero to wizard la hora lahmacun, more IDB
in Navarre thought of solar. So in the collection of these beautiful verses, Allah subhana wa terlet
reminds us of a day that will come the day of judgment in which is a day of accountability. But
		

			what's really interesting is just how this conversation begins in this beautiful surah Allah
subhanho wa Taala tells us what Kula insane elsenham Neville Paul at Yahoo fear, Okay, so here's the
thing. So we are at verses number 1314 and 15. At some level, and it's a memo is a word that's used
to describe something that you hang. So Allah says that all of mankind, they will come on the Day of
Judgment, as of now Hello, Paul arrow taught, so they will have hanged around them. Paul is
literally a bird. So they will have on the Day of Judgment, a bird that will hang around their
necks. But that's not exactly how the verse is to be understood. You see back before Islam, and even
		

			perhaps maybe till this day, there are some parts of the world that that use birds as a symbol of
telling the future. And so birds have been a symbol of fate. So depending on which direction it's
flying, this is going to happen to you, depending on how the bird falls or dies. This is where
you're going to marry so on and so forth, like all of these superstitious type beliefs, right. So
Allah subhanho wa Taala is saying that with respect to the bird, it's as if he's saying, on the Day
of Judgment around your neck, you will have thought it'll be your own, your fate will hang around
your neck. So it's like a metaphorical expression, your fate will be around you. In other words,
		

			it's already a done deal. Now, this is really important for people that when you go through
struggles and hardships, or even the good times the happiness is that we all experience in our
lives. This a is good for us, because it tells us that regardless what you have done or not done,
regardless of what efforts you make, or don't make, it's already done, it's around your neck, your
fate is sealed, Case Closed. So we can't just say, you know, I'm still trying to figure out my life,
you know, I don't know which direction I'm going, Oh, it's already done. What you have to do as an
individual now is to do your best to make the right decision decisions, and have the best goals and
		

			intentions in mind, do what it is that you can. But in terms of the ultimate end end result, it's
already been done. And this is the expression that's captured here in this introduction of the a and
then a love continues. And he says wonderful. Did you love UI Elmo pm at keytab a yell problem and
surely like this A is just unbelievable. And then we will bring them out on the Day of Judgment with
a book keytab in its neck era, which means that it's not definitive. We don't know exactly what book
this is. But then unless says el Pavin yelapa who live her own literally means to meet somebody and
have contact with them. So this book is going to be brought in front of a believer in front of an
		

			individual, and they're going to look at this book, and they're not going to know what it is, but
it's going to be spread and opened up right in
		

			front of their faces. And here's the thing a lead describes the book and he says it's men shorter.
Men shorter is something that is vast and it's wide. Men shorter is also word to use to spread
things around. So like if I had like a ball, a handful of marbles, and I just took the marbles and
they scattered them everywhere that's called into into shout in a nutshell. So you're spreading
these marbles everywhere. So in other words, this book is going to be massive that it's going to
spread all over the place. What is this book? Listen to what Allah subhanho wa Taala says next, and
he says it podatke Tabak read it. Because it's your book. And that's when the individual is going to
		

			realize, oh, my goodness, this is my book. And it's so big. It's so vast, it's spread out all over
the place, as far as my eyes can see. This is the book of deeds is the book of everything that is
said and everything that was done in your life and in mind, and we pray that Allah subhanho wa Taala
give us strength than a lion. So which he continues, and he says, It put up keytab but it's your
book, cat, Fabien fck, Leon Malaika has Seba, it's enough that you just by existence on the Day of
Judgment is an accountability. In other words, the fact that we show up on the Day of Judgment is
enough that you have a case that needs to be trialed by the judge on the Day of Judgment. So this is
		

			what is it's a very powerful message. And now let's just put all of these things together. Before we
go on to the next verse, Allah subhanho wa Taala is saying here that look, at the end of the day,
you have to be aware of what you say and what you do. And that's one of the greatest lessons that we
are learning here during this lockdown period. Although for many parts of the world, things are
starting to get a little better now and things are starting to ease. There's this new renewed sense
of appreciation and gratitude that must be within each and every one of us. And so it's not just
about getting back to the way things were. But it's a renewed sense of hope, prosperity, doing the
		

			right thing, mercy, love and care for one another. forgiveness and tolerance and patience, all of
these wonderful things. Why? Because at the end of the day, there's going to be this book that's
placed in front of you and I and it's so massive, it's as far as the eyes can see. And Allah says,
Your carotid keytab back, that's actually your book. And you just by sitting there by being on the
Day of Judgment, you're just there is enough of a reason that you're going to be accountable
aligned. So you'll give a strength. Here's the last verse that I want to spend some time on because
this verse is just unbelievable. This is verse number 15, many teda in Namibia dealing FC. So just
		

			remember a line. So Joel is saying that whoever has guidance, that guidance is just for you. In
other words, Allah is saying that, you know, if you figure your way out, if you study if you pay
attention, you pray you do all of these amazing things. And you find some direction in your life.
Just remember that you do that for yourself. Like you're not coming to me because I need you for
something that I benefit from you. Or your existence. That's all you woman wonderful in Noma yoga in
El de Laura Lee. And whatever is misguided, well, guess what the choices you make those that level
of misguidance is on you as well. A lead doesn't lose anything by you being misguided or myself
		

			being misguided. And may Allah protect us from ever being misguided. I love them to me. And then
here it is, this is the part that I really, really want all of you to remember and to pay attention.
And to just understand, well, what that tells us was, you know, a tomb wizard Oh, Allah says, And
don't tell zero where zero
		

			was zero comes from the word wizard one. And wizard one literally means somebody that carries a
burden. Okay, so it's like, you know, you know, when somebody wants to go for a hike, for example,
we usually take our backpack. And well zero is also the burden that you carry is everything. So you
try to take all the supplies that you need. So you take food, you take medical supplies, you take
clothing, you take a little bit of everything. So it's almost as if you have like this mini house in
your backpack, and then you go for your long hike. What's interesting also is that without or
without is also used for a cloth. And if you look back at the old cartoons, usually when there's a
		

			character that goes on a long journey, this is like way back in the days, they would take a big
cloth, put all their stuff in it tied around their backs, and then they would go on their journey.
So what alyssum handle time is really saying here is don't you for a moment think that you're going
to carry the burden. Okay, you're going to wrap and carry the burden for somebody else. In other
words, be accountable for yourself. This particular area
		

			It has also a universal value in the sense that you can have conversations about this sentence with
anybody at any time. So it's like, you know, teacher asks a student, why are you late? Because my
friend was late, so I ended up coming with them. That's not an excuse, that won't work. Because the
teacher will still say, well, I'll deal with her or him after. But you got to be accountable for
yourself. If you know you're going to be late, get to class on time, forget about your friends. So
what I did, was it a wizard, oh, carry your own burden, carry the things that you say and do, it's
all with you. Now, here's the next thing without that, as we said, is a cloth. So if you put your
		

			stuff inside of a bag or a cloth, and you carry it with you, can I see what's in your cloth? Can you
see what's in my cloth? We can't, right. And that's the whole point of carrying all of your supplies
and the things that you need to survive. So when it comes to what the individual is carrying, we
established that they're carrying their deeds, but they keep those deeds private. And the lesson for
you and I, especially in this world, is when we do our good deeds, sure, it's fine to share some of
the things that you do for the sake of Allah with the rest of the world. That's okay. Why, because
it could be a source of encouragement, it could inspire people to want to be involved and do the
		

			right thing as well. But the reality is, at the end of the day, it's a fine line between you showing
the world what it is that you've done in order to encourage and inspire them. And for that to affect
your intention. And then the attention that you get as a result of people seeing what you do. And so
there's a fine line there. And Allah subhanho wa Taala is giving us this indication that the general
rule of thumb with your deeds is that you should keep them private. So that's at least with respect
to the good deeds. And don't worry, if people don't recognize you, if people don't, you know, give
you the thumbs up if people don't congratulate you, if people don't post up what you've done for
		

			them. That's okay. The point is, at the end of the day, Allah says in the poor and below, we are
them wanting to latarian Allah is keeping complete knowledge and track of everything that you're
doing well into lead time and you don't have any idea about that anyway. So don't worry. If people
are not keeping track of what you've done, then realize that Allah is doing this and that's the most
important thing that's the priority. Secondly, in another surah, Allah subhanho wa Taala says into
that area in one, yo Mata Ji do Kowloon Epsom ambulancemen hiring martial law, on the day of
judgment, every single person will be able to see it'll be laid out and exposed in front of them all
		

			the good deeds that they've done. So in other words, here's the thing for those of you who study
Arabic, the word Moore's law doesn't mean that the deeds or the scale will be present, it would mean
it means that the scale and the deeds are present. And you can see all of them all of the little
nitty gritty things. So in other words, you're going to see every single seller that you've ever
given for the sake of Allah, and you're going to look at this scale, and you're be like, Oh, my
goodness, every one of them counted, you're going to see every email bottle that you send out,
whether it be on Facebook, or on social media, whether you verbalize it, and you're going to look on
		

			your scale and be like, some handle that every greeting that I sent out, just to make people feel
happy and give them you know, let them know, I remember them, it actually counted, it actually
became a good deed for me. And so Allah is saying, just be concerned about your own self, and do
what it is that you have to do that at the end of the day, when you have choices, make the best
choice that is best for you. Because that's what society and culture really is. We are the strength
of who we are. The community continues to flourish and thrive because of the members of that
community. So when we continue to improve ourselves, when we continue to strive to do the best that
		

			we can to be good people in this world. Our community becomes this way our societies culture and the
entire oma and the entire world continues to do the same. So while that definitely was euro tune
with Laura O'Hara, you do your best to hide those deeds and keep that to between you and Allah
subhanho wa Taala. Having said that, as I mentioned to you, it's perfectly okay for once in a while
you want to post a certain things, but what I usually tell students here is always have your private
time with Allah. Always have private time with him. Always have, again, all of you watching this. If
you don't have alone time with Allah. You're never going to really taste the sweetness of what it's
		

			like to worship him. Why do why do I say that? You see when you're praying in a jamara
		

			You have additional challenges, distractions and barriers, that hamper towards your concentration
and your focus, you know, somebody beside you might be moving around a little bit, you know,
something might just some aroma might start coming into the air and something smells or what have
you, kid runs across, there's a baby crying somewhere the lights turn off, so many different things
can happen, except when you're alone. If the lights are off, the light in your heart is still on the
brilliance in your focus. It's still there. You know, when you're alone, you can encourage yourself
to become emotional, and you start to cry for the sake of Allah. Like, that's how you break down
		

			those layers of distraction is that when you spend time in worship alone, just between you and
Allah, I can tell you that this is where the sweetness of our Deen is. It's when we're in isolation
between us and alights when we seclude ourselves and this is why the Prophet it sought to use to
climb Mount Hara he used to climb that mountain in Mecca, and he would sit in a small cave, and what
would he do? He would just contemplate, reflect and pray to Allah subhanaw taala. And what did Allah
do unless the greatest angel to him. So he was rewarded and honored and raised in terms of his level
and his status in front of the entire world, because of those moments elect chose that time of
		

			seclusion to do that. So we should all have alone time with Allah. And that should happen as much
and as often as possible. Keep in mind being alone does not mean you lock yourself up in a room
darkened somewhere. And that's the end of that alone time is also you donated some money, but you
didn't tell anybody where you didn't tell them how much you just did that between you and Allah and
you continued your day. That's a long time with Allah as well. You walked into a Masjid, you saw
that some of the chairs that the elders sit on are broken. Guess what you did? You went to the
hardware store, you went to a place you bought a dozen chairs or half a dozen, what have you, and
		

			you put it in the masjid and you donate it, you didn't tell anybody about it. You didn't tell your
friends obviously, you told the administration, hey, I want to do this height. I want to do this
good for the masjid. But you didn't tell nobody not even your parents know. This is why some of the
stuff they used to say that we used to have people memorize for and our own siblings and we didn't
know that they memorize for add their own siblings. Why? Because it's the whole idea of just leaving
what you do for the sake of Allah for Allah and Allah alone. Once again, if you do things for the if
you do things to encourage one another, if you post things to encourage and inspire people, that's
		

			okay too. But just make sure you have a long time with your Creator in whatever way or capacity. And
then the last panel metallic includes a woman who no more is the bean Hatton of Arthur Rasulullah.
This is where I will, I'm going to pause guys and just take a quick breather. And then when we stand
up again in Shell or at least I stand up again inshallah, we'll conclude with the conclusion of this
verse 11 all of you listening to this, and let's pray. May Allah subhana wa winter either give us
strength, preserve and protect Islam, in our hearts and in our lives. May Allah subhanho wa Taala
allow us to be a source of inspiration and encouragement for each other for the rest of the world in
		

			the most positive way possible. And may Allah subhanho wa Taala keep us safe and healthy hmm can
wherever we are wherever we are. A lot of them are automatic this man was little lady what a
commodity setting was to me and I'm included them and stuff in the water food all right.
		

			Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam ala rasulillah are they have always sought a woman while
well now couldn't know more as the being heptane of our photo suta This is where Allah subhanho wa
Taala says look, we're not going to punish anybody had to until never thought of solar until we send
for you a messenger In other words, you're not going to be accountable for the things you don't know
you're not going to be accountable for the things that you forget you're definitely not going to be
accountable for the things that were never taught to you they were never sent to you that doesn't
mean that when these things are around us and we choose not to access them okay call us I'm still in
		

			the clear No no. We have a lot of knowledge around us than profits are the subtle cinema delivered
his message the explanation of his message is clear. Now with hottie we have Muslim we have all of
these sources. Now. We have to FSC like in every language you can think of we can have we have the
knowledge with us. But if you don't have internet connection, or you don't know anybody or you're
not connected to another Muslim, those are situations where you can say Okay, you know what I got to
work at this. I got to
		

			find alternative ways to get this knowledge. You can't just say, Well, my internet is dead, I don't
have access to YouTube, I can't learn anything. Allah knows my situation doesn't work that way. You
know, one scholar told me that we live in a time now where saying I didn't know is almost impossible
when it comes to Islam. It's almost impossible we have access to every ounce of knowledge you can
think of. And it's actually one of the things that as an oma, it's one of the things that we enjoy.
It's, it's, it's pretty much it's kind of like a golden age of knowledge for this oma. So it's
actually a positive thing that we still have is the accessibility to seek and learn whatever it is
		

			that we need to seek or learn with respect to our Deen. So Allah subhanho wa Taala is saying, Don't
worry, I'm going to do my part, I'm going to send a message, I'm going to send a teacher and that
teacher is going to be your example. So you're going to get the, you know, a 3d explanation.
Everything is going to be outlined for you. And then what does it What was it on whistle? Oh,
remember that line? Brothers and sisters, remember that part of the verse that you are not required
to carry the burden of others? Because even parents listening to this when your children be like,
Yeah, well, I punched her because she wanted to punch me. So it's her fault. No, be accountable for
		

			yourself, why did you punch her? Right, you shouldn't have done that. Despite that, she did it to
you. You know, that means like, you could use this verse for almost any situation. And again, it has
universal value as well. So it's not just restricted for Muslims, you can have this conversation
anywhere. It's an attitude and a discipline that we all have to have. So that's our reminder, today,
inshallah, we'll try to keep working at yourself, keep building yourself, utilize and take full
advantage of this opportunity, it's going to slowly start to shift now where we're going to start
getting busy again, we're going to start getting back out there again. And you're going to remember
		

			these times. You know, when I first started this whole isolation period, about just over a month
ago, I have to admit, I was feeling really down and depressed. Because the job that we do as dorot,
we're always out there in front of the public in front of our community. So we're always interacting
with people. So when that literally shut off in one day, and I remember sitting with my class at the
IIT, a Thursday night, and I was telling everybody today was the last day and everybody's face was
just in shock that just like that, today's the last day, you're not going to see another class for
the rest of the year. But then again, you know, as we got through that period, and standing here in
		

			front of you today, may the eighth 20. At this very moment, I can honestly say I'm starting to
appreciate a lot of the things that I completely forgot about not spending time with family and
that's it, but it's the value in that time, just how much I need family and that support. It was
something that was lost for for a long time, it was always there just I wouldn't access it as much
as I needed it. And so I rediscovered just how much I need that presence of support from the people
that I live with, but then also being in the month of Ramadan and we're all fasting right now.
		

			This is by far the easiest Ramadan that I have ever experienced my whole life. So I want to ask all
of you how's this Ramadan been for you? I mean, you don't have to tell me about all I can get to go
to the masjid I can go get to have a photo. We've talked about that a lot. I know I still missed
that every single time but for some reason, it's as if Allah just added a layer of user I added a
layer of ease in this one I'm all done. You know, when you try to fast the rest of the year it's
almost impossible but when you have to fast one entire month in a month of Ramadan, it's a piece of
cake. But then this year, it just seems to be that much easier. I don't know what it is. I don't
		

			know if this is a loss of mercy. I don't know if it's because of the isolation. I don't know what it
is but men may Allah subhanho wa Taala accept from us our efforts and accept from us all Ramadan and
our fast and how are you better aligned so which will continue to elevate us and give us the best of
this world in the hereafter. Again for those of you who are on online, let me know how this whole
Ramadan experience has been for you if there's something that you've done or not done, but I'm
really I'm really interested in how you made this Ramadan special and different. were isolated,
there's no massage, there's no outdoor your thoughts. So what did you do to make this Ramadan
		

			meaningful for you? And as the days continue, inshallah I'll share some of the things that I found
very beneficial that really helped me. But with that being said, we conclude May Allah Subhana Allah
bless reward and honor all of you that are watching this, please take the time to share this
message. It's It's literally just for the benefit of
		

			Shall we hope that we all get a portion of that reward be as Neela hytera so take care guys, it is
now almost 130 so we can pray Our selected, especially for those of you in eastern standard time,
you can pray your syllable. Of course that is for rokerites all of you that I see online commenting
why they call them Allah bless you guys and honor you guys. Thank you for your support ecosystem.
Brother mark, I see you man I see you every week. May Allah bless you brother I can't wait to to be
able to see you and hang out with you in sha Allah hoteller Okay, everybody take care of just like a
