			serious problems in the

			masjid. Small things here and there. And but
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			it's Alhamdulillah everything is good.
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:25
			Where you have fines and you have problems.
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:28
			But Alhamdulillah don't have anything like this. Always
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			all things.
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			So the prophet can bless them.
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			So their life started in a masjid. And
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:49
			when someone died, they walked into the masjid
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:49
			for janazid.
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			So between the birth and the death,
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			the whole life is attached to the masjid.
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:55
			Every aspect of life was attached to the
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:56
			masjid. And this blood of
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			attached to the masjid. And this is why
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			the colonel says, and gave a lot of
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			importance and a lot of respect for the
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:03
			was said.
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			There are so many habeers that talk about
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:08
			those who built the masjid and those who
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:09
			continue to the masjid
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:39
			Then the prophet talks a lot about cleaning
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41
			themselves and keeping them in good shape. You
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:44
			see, for example, that made it's a famous
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:44
			that
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			a woman used to clean the masjid,
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			So this is also what did.
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			So the prophet was not very happy about
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:01
			this.
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:04
			A woman from Al Asad came and she
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			scrapped it off, she cleaned it, and she
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:09
			put mist or perfume on that place. So
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11
			when the prophet saw this, he was so
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			happy and he said this is a very
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:16
			good thing. I'm happy. This is very good.
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:17
			So
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19
			to that extent, the prophet
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:22
			lied and decided to be clean. And now
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:23
			imagine the gushsh
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:36
			the prophet
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:37
			wanted the Rasul to be clean.
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41
			Now some of the jib will have that
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:44
			showing respect to the masjid does not begin
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:47
			from the prayer area like this one or
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			even from the entrance or the bathrooms or
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:52
			even the parking lot. Showing respect to the
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54
			masjid begins with the neighbors.
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:56
			Okay. Because I know sometimes
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:59
			some of us, I've heard the complaints that
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:01
			some people when they come to the Hashem,
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:02
			they bark far away
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			and they all wait to cross the street,
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:06
			they just jump.
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:09
			Somebody is driving. They're not thinking about anything.
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11
			Then a bunch of people jump in front
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:14
			of the car. What's going on here? Geneva
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			and it happens all the time.
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:18
			Or with somebody,
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:22
			you know, cars their car bugging somebody's driveway.
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:24
			All the names.
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:25
			Oh,
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:29
			some people are excited, they are happy, they
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:31
			talk very loud. For some of our youth,
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:34
			they stay outside, they play soccer, and they
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:50
			And now imagine
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:52
			there are so many hadith that talk about
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:55
			honoring and respecting your neighbor and being good
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:57
			to them. Now, we're not talking about your
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:00
			neighbor, we're talking about the neighbors of Allah.
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02
			These are the neighbors of Allah. They're not
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:04
			wasifah, they are his neighbors.
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:22
			Front of FreshCo or Walmart or any other,
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:27
			shopping place, you compare this the party situation
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:30
			there to our party situation here. Sometimes
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:32
			some people may take the handicaps,
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:34
			but it's not that they are not even
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:35
			handicapped.
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			The sister can come and remove their cars,
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:57
			and we have to make announcements all the
		
00:09:57 --> 00:10:00
			time. So people block the 500,
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:03
			some people block the hinges, and it happens
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:04
			sometimes.
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:07
			If something happens bad, there's an ambulance, someone
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:09
			needs a medical attention,
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:12
			the the ambulance can't come in because somebody's
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:13
			blocking the weapon. And I
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:27
			Then, when you come to the Russian,
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:30
			there's something that I see that I've never
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:32
			seen in any other place of worship.
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:35
			As soon as you come in, you feel
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:35
			like
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:36
			there's
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:38
			a shoes on sale
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41
			or there's the the shoe affair. You see
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:43
			shoes like a seal of shoes in front
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:46
			of you. It is not a problem anymore
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:48
			but still you see a few here and
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:49
			there but it used to be very bad
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:51
			one time with white cup and you see
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:52
			shoes everywhere.
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55
			Some of the older brothers and sisters they
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:57
			walk with a hand or with a walker.
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:12
			Also, when we will go to the washrooms,
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:14
			some of the people,
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:18
			we're not gonna get into details about urinating
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:20
			standing up or sitting down, having to abandon
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:24
			but the whole point is make sure inshallah
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:26
			that the person keeps the place clean
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:28
			before they leave
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:31
			because in Islam, Yeah. I mean, in bada,
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:31
			in Islam
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:33
			if
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:35
			you leave the place
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:34
			So
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:44
			the word used in the nayah says that
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:46
			the place itself should be honored.
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:48
			So So for example,
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:52
			the prophet says in Hadith that you shouldn't
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:55
			hurt people's hearing, you shouldn't raise your voice
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:57
			when you talk. I know you complain all
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:00
			the time because kids keep screaming and jumping
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:01
			around and running
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:04
			around, but adults when they talk sometimes they
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:07
			forgive themselves and they raise their voice and
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:09
			people are praying to them now or they
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:12
			can't read Quran. Okay. Because sometimes we're not
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:14
			thinking, we're just we're just doing
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:15
			it. There's a side
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:13
			So this, it was regards to disturbing people
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:16
			and their ears. Okay. People need to focus
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:18
			and they come to the masjid so they
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:19
			can focus and the person of Allah subhanahu
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:22
			wa'ala to assure this Allah subhanahu wa'ala
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:23
			not wearing something with pictures or images of
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:25
			them and you make sure the paths are
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:28
			tight, so people can focus in their salah.
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:30
			Currently, people's notice.
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:33
			I know some people they come straight from
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:33
			work,
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:36
			they work in construction or farming
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:38
			and I don't sweat and the celery is
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:41
			very disturbing to some people some people smoke,
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:44
			some people eat onion and garlic and the
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:46
			prophet said in Miriam Khadid if you do
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:49
			something like this especially with the garlic and
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:51
			the onion don't talk in your cup to
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:53
			the rashi. He's saying basically
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:56
			remove this smell or hook up. So make
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:59
			sure inshallah someone has this condition they come
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:01
			before they come to the rashi they use
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:01
			perfume
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:04
			or they brush your teeth to make sure
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:05
			that you smell good so it won't disturb
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:08
			people, especially in big gatherings and in the
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:08
			summer.
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:11
			Otherwise, they're setting in the light and you
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:14
			hear people choking and they can't breathe. They
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:17
			are all down and collapsing in the in
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:18
			the lab. And, you won't know what is
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:19
			going on.
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:21
			You have a reason why they are falling
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:23
			down. So, make sure so many people are
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:24
			comfortable
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:26
			in their life.
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:28
			The last point I want to mention is
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:31
			disturbing people
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:32
			emotion
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:35
			and this happens sometimes. I'll give a couple
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:37
			of examples. Number 1, when you come to
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:38
			the masjid,
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:41
			you come early before salah and you start
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:44
			talking about al people. And I said before
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:46
			the Masjid is not built for this because
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:49
			if you wanna talk about al people then
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:50
			backbite them
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:52
			well Tim Hortons is dead. You can go
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:55
			there get coffee and talk about al people
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:56
			but here in the Masjid this is not
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:59
			the place. The Masjid is for remembering Allah
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:03
			and studying or maybe salah, all these things.
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:05
			So you don't come all the way. You
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:07
			drive, you come in the heat or in
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:10
			the winter just to, to lose your, your
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:12
			work because you wanna talk about al Adi.
		
00:18:57 --> 00:19:00
			Committed adultery, so the sahab punished him. So
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:03
			after the punishment, one of the sahab who
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:04
			was sitting in the masjid, and this is
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:05
			in buffet,
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:08
			said, you see this man, Hajjid, was brought
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:10
			to the masjid, and he was beaten like
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:11
			a dog.
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:13
			So after they left, the prophet
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:16
			walked with them and they came across,
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:18
			the corpse that didn't bite him a donkey.
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:21
			So the prophet told this man who who
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:24
			spoke about knives, he said, will you please
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:26
			go and eat from the flesh of this
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:29
			donkey? So he said, you Rasulullah, who can
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:31
			do this? So the prophet said, you just
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:34
			ate the flesh of your brother, nice, by
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:35
			talking
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:36
			badly about him.
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:38
			The last point,
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:41
			which is related to certain people symbolically, and
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:43
			I know that they come from different
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:08
			So sometimes
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:11
			we do this naturally without thinking. You see
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:13
			someone from your customer, your aesthetic with a
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:14
			brother.
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:15
			Then you see
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:17
			another brother from your own customer and you
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:20
			start to talk with your brother, from your
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:21
			own customer, in your own language,
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:25
			alienating and excluding a drug who's from a
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:27
			different culture who doesn't see your life. So
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:30
			he's standing there like a he doesn't know
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:32
			like a scarecrow, he doesn't know what what
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:34
			is going on. And the road says that
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:36
			says in Bukhara, we do this all time.
