Welcome back, at least to myself to all of you. Usually when I take a break, it's because I just I simply need it. And sometimes, you know, when I wake up I I suffer from insomnia and I've had it for maybe 1015 years I'm not really sure so I have a really tough time sleeping. But nevertheless so when I don't get enough sleep during the night I wake up I get a migraine and I feel awful. Everybody knows how that feels right? And sometimes I just need the whole mornings to kind of get myself ready to relax to try to sleep again do something to just get my brain functioning. So that's where suddenly you know if you expect me online and you don't see me there then I post Okay, we'll

resume tomorrow. Just keep in the back of your mind that usually it's probably okay he's probably got a headache or he hasn't slept something along those lines. Other than that health wise well he let you have now Today we are at verse number 36 and we'll go up to verse 32 men lots lots of amazing stuff to talk about Okay, a lot continues and he says the blue tin in the houses of Allah so blue tier is not in your homes only but also in the massage it and so on. As in a low and total farewell youth care trophy has smoked the call for Salah is being made, the voices are raised where you've cut off he has smoked and Allah says that his remembrance is being mentioned your sub level

fee her bill who do we well our song and people are making to speak of Allah during the days and the nights rejected will lead to the heat and teach our real men are the ones that don't allow business will be your own to come in or sales to come between them. And the remembrance of Allah. Why make the distinction business and the sale because business could be anything else that revolves around income and bringing business and money and profits into the company. So it could be like different departments you have departments of accounting, you have departments of storage, you have departments so you know in the warehouse

All of those things are all part of the business. But nothing in business is more important than what when the actual sale happens. You know, we saw something similar in soda to Juma when Allah subhanho wa Taala says either new deal is seletti Meeow meeow. Juma when you hear the call of Juma fists are Isla de karela run to the remembrance of Allah whether you Bay here and leave off sales

not business, the sale itself. Can you imagine what that would be like? Unless has real men here. They don't let anything come between them and allow us remember, it's when they hear the event. Nothing gets in between them not even if they're in the middle of a transaction. You know?

So the example is like customer walks into the store. And you know, they're like, okay, I want this I want that. Oh, you have this Okay, I'll take three of those. And you're like, Oh my god, Google who get a notepad or something. Write this down. This customer is like a gift from Allah. Okay, okay. Once this once that and they're buying things in bulks, like this is a customer, you rarely, if not, you never have walked into your store, then all of a sudden, you hear the event.

And you're thinking to yourself all my goodness, okay, fine. You know what, that's the then I've got a few minutes. Let me see if I can close this deal. So the customer continues buying, buying buying, then all of a sudden you hear the comma? And you're like, oh, gosh, well, you know what, that Mmm, that leads, they always, you know, have real real long sell. So I think I got some time. I'll try to make it there just before a little cool. You see where I'm going with this? before we know it turns into something something, okay, I'll try to get the set up. And when you close the deal, you're running to the message. So I want to let somebody want to look, I see this every jumar. Now I don't

know why so many people come late, you know, that's not my business. I am simply focused on what the area is focused on. And that is, if you come late for joumana or first Sala as a result of money and business or trying to make a sale. And you waltz into the message just before the events as well p Masada Okay, stand up, let's pray. Then this is something that Allah dislikes, and it is actually unacceptable in our *tier. Like sub for example, on jamara day, somebody loses all their Juma when you miss the hook, but when you miss the hook by you've missed the Juma you can't just waltz in there and pray Torah carrots, this is Bill Maher, there's no difference of opinion on that. When it

comes to just hearing the call to to verse, Allah. Allah is saying, Listen, what are you doing? You're putting profits and money before praying to Allah, where you get the most prophet? Were the one who's providing you with all of this. He's calling you now.

Allah is your Rosa. He's the one that's providing. Now he's calling you. He's literally telling you how yada yada yada, you know, just come to prayer. This is what real businesses, this is what real success is. And you don't want to do that you still continue buying and selling. What are you doing?

You know, it was one of the things I used to really appreciate when I was living in Saudi that man, when sold out when a van came everything just shut down. You know, you're walking in the mall. You hear the event in the mall, you don't hear like Britney Spears or anything or just to be replay. You just hear the event. And then everything shuts down. It's happened to me so many times where I want to buy some food even and the guy's like, Look, I can't serve you right now. Shut it down. I think a lot of that has changed now. But the point is, is that's what I was referring to shut down and stop the sale if you can. Now, some scholars did make exceptions to this, but that's a separate issue.

Well, you call me a celebrity what he is is a cast stablish your prayer establishes that Can y'all funa Yeoman Tata Colaba? Here's what real men do. They are afraid on that day, the day of judgment that column that a column is the same word as polyboard. collarbone, the heart means something that's going like this. Caleb, see if I have something that I can demonstrate for you with to collab and I have nothing Okay, so that's a collab is like if you have a bunch of things in a box and you shake the box,

shake the box, and you hear the rattles. And you're shaking, shaking. That's called the taco lab. So Allah says that they have so much fear in their heart. So much fear that in their hearts rattle when they hear the

Call, you have food a woman, and there are even more so afraid that if I don't respond to this call, and what am I going to do when I look calls me on the Day of Judgment, calls out my name to ask me why I didn't respond to this call. So they're shaken by this and their hearts are shaken by it is well absorbed even their eyes. You're just like, oh my god, oh my god, I don't know what else to do. It's the day of judgment. So that's what Allah subhanaw taala is referring to here. Now, three types of people we're going to learn about today. This was the first so this dip highest into the individual. And we talked about the here the call, they stopped business, they stopped sales, they

stop all of that stuff out of fear and the presence of a luxury members. That's the first category. Here's the second category. Well, we'll one more and then we'll go into the second category. Leah jizya Humala I sent him Emmylou. Now the title of this video is how Allah grades our good deeds. This is the area where I got it from Lee edges Xia, whom Allah, Allah will give them their portion of reward. I sent him or me to

Whoa, for the best of their deeds. A lie didn't say Leah jizya whom Allah who will be my amilo because of the deeds that they've done. Allah says acid the best. You know what this means? You're gonna love this students, you don't you know what this is talking about? All of us when we pray, we would probably it when we really sit and think about the silhouette that we prayed, we would probably need to go and redo them. You're like, yeah, I could have done that so much better. My father should have done I could have done it on time. Mama Aisha, I didn't concentrate. I don't even know how many rakaats like you, our minds are concentrated, it's all over the place.

A light is saying, I sent them out to the best of what you did. It's like saying, you know you your prayers are not perfect. But then there was that one ledger you prayed.

It was the best, like the hugest you hit that out of the ballpark. That ledger, you were crying, you were focused, you made your while you did all of your count. I am going to grade all of your good deeds all of your solid. And I'm going to start with the best.

Oh my goodness, sapan. Allah.

Allah is going to take is a Yeah, you've done a bunch of photos in your life. But you see, you remember your first starting out or your third one or your fifth one? Remember those? I'm going to accept or I'm going to start to grade all of your own was based on the best ones you've did you've done soprano law.

Do you see why the poor end and our Dean encourages us and pushes us to do our best

pushes us to do our best. It's because you're gonna mess up on most of them. Most of our righteous deeds are not going to be perfect. But every so often that one I share that you get once a year, where your heart, your eyes, your intention, everything is just the way you hope for. Allah says that's what I start with SubhanAllah. And if you think that's amazing, it's not done yet. Look what Allah tells us next way azita homophobe Lee, oh, I'm going to increase you even more.

And you're like,

you're going to start grading me based on that one Federer I prayed that was perfect throughout the entire year.

And on top of that, you're going to give me more

and unless is I'm just going to increase it because I can do that. I'm just going to give you more and more reward because why? Although you had that one Muslim That was perfect for the whole year. You prayed Mohamad every day. So you're gonna get more. Although you gave sadaqa then you know you did it because you were under pressure. You were emotional, this and that. But then that one sadaqa you gave you gave like 25 cents, you just had some coins in your purse in your in your pocket. So you dumped it in a donation box. But when you did it you you put your heart in there with it.

I'm going to accept all the setup that you gave, because of that quarter you did.

And on top of that, I'm not just going to reward you because you gave a quarter for Allah. But I'm going to multiply it and it's going to be endless. Boise doublemint lovely.

You

Guys, do you think this is done? It's not done. Listen to Allah's blessings and his bounties and his love for righteousness. It's not done.

So you have two things so far. Now here's the third will La Jolla or Zuko Manian shell will be hired a sub, Allah will provide whomever he wants without any account.

So here's the third

lesson I'm just going to keep giving you and I'm going to give you so much now if you thought was way azita home and fugly was amazing, I was just going to keep increasing and decreasing now unless is on top of that, I'm going to give you so much blessings and reward. bit later he said you do not have the ability to ever count the beginning and end like you will not be able to count it ever. It's it's an infinite amount. It's endless.

So three things you get for responding to the call of prayer, and the remembrance of Allah and doing righteousness. Three things Allah says I'm so this is what I like to call a formula of how Allah grades righteousness. Number one, Allah says I will reward you so you'll get an iPhone, I'll reward you exactly what you've done the reward It's expected for them. But out of My Mercy, I will start off by picking the best of the deeds you did talk about grading on a curve, like this is it then number two, I'm going to add more. So if your Salah like your ratio was like 90%, perfect way, azita home and I'll make it 100%.

And then number three, I'm going to reward and multiply those shares on those other words with reward, blessing and bottlecap you will never ever possess the ability to count how much I give you.

That's, that's the formula that Allah will use to grade our righteous deeds.

You You know, what I think about are the little things. So when I smile at someone for the sake of Allah, that smile, if I do it right with the right intentions and to make someone feel better and to seek a less Baraka could be the start of all of this.

You know, when they say send mRNA comb to somebody I and I want to do that to spread the Salaam and follow a Sunnah. And please Allah, and do all of the engaging all of the things that the Salam comes with, how many columns do we give a day? And he's just one of those settlements, Allah will take and do all of this with it. So I'll accept that because of that one sincere Salaam you gave, I will accept all of the salams you've done in your whole life and increase it and multiply it where you don't have the ability to count.

That's what I think about it's apparent Allah May Allah accept from us our righteous deeds alone mermin. Now here is the second group, so three persons so we're done with the first here's the second one. Let's see in a cafo Ahmed.

Lots of Muslims asked, What about non Muslims, like, good people, they're involved in humanitarian efforts, they do a lot of charity work, they help good people. You know, a lot of you probably have good friends that are non Muslims. I have lots of good friends that are non Muslims. Just because they're not Muslim. Do we say why? Like, okay, nothing's gonna be accepted. Is there bad people? What's the answer to this? How do I deal with this scenario? Les says, look, well, Athena capital, and those who have disbelieved. amerihome Castle are all being built here. Their actions will be of like a mirage. Yes, several hold them and oh, man, it says if they're in a desert, and they, they

see water, and the run and run because they think that the water or there's a little pond or river there, of them annual is not like,

it's not like when you're thirsty. It's like when you're dying of thirst, when you're dying of thirst, so VM and Matt and Hector either.

So they'll keep going, keep going, keep going until they get up to where they think the water was.

had either jet or when they arrived at it, let me adjustable shade. They didn't find anything. There was a jet alohar in the hoop. And instead they found a lot there for our fellow he said, Well lo said here and he said, and Allah will take care of accountability at that moment. So what is the answer to this? You and I don't judge anyone's deeds because this person

Hear has found light in the world, the life but the spiritual life, they might still be on that journey. How many? I mean, pretty much all the sahabas were non Muslims, weren't they? And then eventually, but they were good people, I will buck out on the Aloha on most arbib neuroma, so many of these companions, there were amazing people before Islam, but they had not completed that journey to coming to Allah.

So what Allah is saying is here is like, Look, don't judge just leave that because I will I will take over accountability at that time, just leave that alone, or do you need to know is that just don't rest with the idea that, you know, people are good, and that's it. And they deserve the best No, no, no, they could still be on a journey with Allah, they could still be going there. So it's about giving the benefit of the doubt. And it's about hoping for the best. And it's about you being the first category be the best Muslim that you can be so that you can be the best example to the rest of the world. And Whoa, in hopes that in sha Allah, they continue that journey. Now here's the

third category of people a lot of mentions here. And this is the worst of all

outcomes, automatic feedback and a low G. But then there's another group in which or the disbeliever could also be in darkness, feedback and in Luigi, in the depth of the ocean way at the bottom of the ocean where it's pitch dark. You don't show Mojo Min felpa hue Mojo Min phulka he sahab and above them, there are massive mountains of waves upon waves crashing. So there's violent waves above them. And they're at the bottom in the darkness of the sea. This is what this is the disbeliever that refuses to find and do anything good refuses to care about Allah, I don't even care about doing the right thing. You ever wonder how people could commit vicious crimes to other human beings? I mean,

we talked about this a lot. How does a human being have the consciousness and the awareness? Like how do they get themselves to take the life of somebody hurt somebody other words that are you know, insulting, you know and hurtful to others, like how do they do all of this? each and every day of their lives and still go to bed and peace and still eat and still relax and still live life? Now what happened to you? Well, why are you like that? That's what Allah is going to talk about here. There are people

that are at the bottom of the ocean, and above them mash massive waves are crashing one another. And on top of that, sahab and Luma tune back, although her so called Arab. And on top of these massive waves, there are also dark clouds. So now everything is pitch dark. So if they try to go up to the top of the ocean, you you're met with what you're met with massive waves, you know, just violence at the top of the ocean. So you're stuck at the bottom. But even if let's say per se you've happened to get past these massive waves, you still can see nothing because why it's pitch dark with all of these massive dark clouds everywhere.

Either. Raja hula Mia can get the Euro, whenever they they're gonna look at their hand, they can't even see their head how pitch dark it is.

That's what Allah describes. It's so dark around them.

This is like the heart of people who do these things. You know, you're like somebody who you're so you've reached a depth of darkness in your life.

Allah is saying even if they look at their hands, they can't see it. It's so pitch dark, they can appreciate nothing around them. Even if it's right, even if it's attached to their body, it is right in front of their face. They can they can appreciate it. Nothing will change them. What is the lesson is Alyssa, well, they let me adjust the level of who neuron sanella who may know whom whomever Allah does not give light to they will never have liked some kind of, it's talking about spiritual light. But look at how the verse is structured. We're talking about darkness, darkness and darkness. And the only thing we're thinking about when we're seeing all of these layers of darkness

is man if there the sun would come out if the moon would just shine a bit if there was some light and Alissa's spiritually if there's no light from Allah, then there's no light for anyone surprise Allah.

lm todo en Allah how you said. So we're done with the three categories of people. Let's add a fourth

But it's not persons anymore. These are not human beings. Look what I was going to talk about. lm todo en de la you said be hula hoop Memphis, semi wet he will or Don't you see what makes test to be have Allah in the heavens and in the earth? Well, who saw fat and birds that glide?

You know, soft fat. You know you've ever seen when a bird just kind of spreads spreads its wings and just kind of glides in the air. That's called soft fat.

Amazing. That's their sphere. Look what Allah says coolum kadalai masala would this be her all of these creatures, the worms, caterpillars, butterflies, they insects, every animal and creature on the planet. Even that scary little spider that, you know you don't want near you. Every one of them know when they are pre programmed as a creation to make the speech of Allah. And unless is what the birds fly away and they're gliding in the sky. That's their solar.

That's their solar animal so that they know when it's time to pray. And when it's time to make this be every one of them. You know, when you hear those birds, you know, early feature time just chirping away, and you're like, oh God, there they go again.

Unless as they're praying,

they know it's fed your time.

When you see these birds sitting on the cable, then all of a sudden, they fly away. And they just yeah, it's also time for them to hear the call they're going.

And of course, obviously they do it in their own way. My point is, we're talking about when you hear the call of the event to respond to the message. And look what Allah compares us to reflect on and think and to get get that encouragement. The next time you see that annoying seagull or that annoying pigeon that keeps hanging around trees and just sits there and then it just glides away.

Those things remind you It's your time to glide into to the message on glide into Sala

amazing, unbelievable. No human being looks at animals this way, the way that believers look at animals, nobody. You know what I tell students very often I tell them when Muslims go to the zoo,

it should be very, the experience should be very similar. Then if you go to the masjid or you're going for Ramadan.

When you go for Ramadan, when you see the Kaaba Don't you find yourself there's it's like a Hello Akbar Subhana Allah, there it is. I god

that's how you should feel when you see beautiful creatures, whether it's in a zoo in a forest is like some kind of love Wow.

They're reminding that the point is they all remind you of what

Subhana Allah Subhana love to the one who designed and created Wow. Now, frogs and animals and insects, they all put us in our place.

They put us in our place. What we find annoying, is actually there to be their Salah in the sight of Allah Subhana Allah.

Here's my point.

If insects and animals are making to spear to Allah,

what happened to you and I?

How come we find it's so difficult to do?

Why did we need all of this to do it really puts us in our place as the creation is these animals are just doing it and they're programmed and designed to do it. You know somebody? I mean? That's how I get asked this quite a bit. Why Allah created animals?

Like why? What if there were no animals on the planet? We were just all vegetarians, and that's how we lived. I mean, I don't think we could survive.

This is one wisdom, why animals are little you know, reminders and little tiny the code of Allah that just reside around us, they surround us. And it's an animals are so endless terms of the, you know, different types of animals out there most in which mankind hasn't even discovered really. And the essence at the end of the day is not just something that makes this world beautiful, is animals don't just come here to make the world beautiful, make our oceans beautiful. But they're there to also remind us of a son of Allah, of where these animals cooperate. They work together, how they live, their lifestyle, how they build their homes, everything. I told you this before planes, the

way that they glide in the sky and the design of their wings. Much of that was taken from what from the design

Birds, how they glide how they land. You ever watch how a duck or geese lands in the water? What do they do? Do they just flap their wings and just drop it to the water? No, they've got their little feet, you know those little flaps right? And if you watch them, it's just remarkable how human beings were they figured out how to do this stuff from a duck from a geese. As they land, they glide into the water for a soft landing. Just like planes don't just drop themselves to the runway, they sort of gently glide themselves onto the runway, which is like super granular. Look how Allah keeps us in our place. Final a

will love Marley, moonbeam, a Hollywood Allah has complete knowledge of everything that they do. If fare alone is sub subconscious actions like breathing, listening, I don't have to remind myself. Okay, I have to take another breath. Okay, one more breath. Okay, I have to keep listening. I don't have to do that. That's called fear alone. I'm alone requires the intention. You got to remind yourself to do certain things. Allah says, Allah has complete knowledge of even the deeds that you do. You're not even thinking about them. Every time you blink. Every time you breathe, every step you take, because you need to walk you need to move from one spot to another. All of that's being

documented on the lowest keeping all of that on record. Final a Oh, well, he let him well Kusama welti, well, all the kingdom belongs to Allah

of the heavens and the earth, what Illa hidden will see it and to him is our ultimate return. We're going to pause here in sha Allah who Tara Allah. And I hope you can appreciate the formula that Allah uses to grade our righteous deeds, but just how important animals and creatures around us what their true presence really means to believers. You know, when you have a man, everything around you speaks to you. Everything around you is a Honda, you know, is a remembrance of everything. It can be just a tree.

And all of a sudden you start thinking about an A about a tree.

You think of you looking at a tree now, where I am, it's fall, it's it's autumn season. So all the trees pretty much have lost all of their leaves and you're just looking at it like a couple months ago, that thing was luscious. in green. There were birds building their nests in there. And all of that's gone. You start remembering who will lead to you he will you meet. He's the one that gives life and he also causes death while you're healing out of the battered MLT her and he is the one that's going to give life to the land after it dies. So the cycle will eventually continuing now the tree in my front yard.

All of it reminds me of Allah subhana wa Tada. They become like little helpless to me. And that's where we all want to be some allies so which will continue to give us the blessing that we're always using what is around us to remember him to be close to him love him and mean just from a low height and brothers and sisters and I will connect again tomorrow be the lucky Tyler was Salaam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh
