So,
we're gonna keep it very short InshaAllah because
we have some, guests from Turkey. So they'll
probably come and say, give you Salaam InshaAllah.
So I have, like, 2, 3 minutes before
they come to the later time. Before we
begin, there are a couple of copies of
the Quran to, give out. One of them
goes to, this brother here.
This guy? Did you get one of those
before?
Yeah, this is for you.
You're a good guy.
Thank you. Thank you. And the other one
is for the sister.
Did you get one of us before? MashaAllah.
Very good.
So I'm observing you guys all the time,
the way you behave, the way you talk,
the way you pray, and so on and
so forth. So, keep up the good work.
Basha'Allah.
Speaking of the good work and the good
image, yesterday was not a good day for
me. Right? The Piranha style, when the brother
had the candy, that was not nice at
all. Especially the brothers who were sitting here.
The sisters were good, some of the brothers
who were sitting here,
they were not as good. This is not
nice. And we spoke about this before.
So if someone is asking a question and
they said they have some candy,
like 10, 15 candies, they can't give candy
to everyone.
And even Subhala, I noticed if they ask
a question,
like say for example, an impossible question, a
difficult question, like how many drops of rain
are there in the ocean? Everybody over at
Instagram.
What are you talking about? You don't know
the answer. You have no clue. He said
yesterday,
there are some 5 things that I will
tell you. If you know them, you'll be
successful.
Five tips or 5 things, and you don't
know what he's going to talk about. And
as soon as he said 5 things, now
everyone is there. What are you talking about?
I myself
did not know what he was going to
talk about, although I invited him. You know,
I invited him to give some Naseeha, but
I didn't know the specifics. How would he
know?
You know? So take it easy inshaAllah and
give them a break. Right? And if you
know the answer raise your hand. If you
don't,
then Khalas.
Right?
So,
Sorry to interrupt, we had a very long
talk. So from now on you're gonna see,
inshallah, a big difference. And if anything else
happens,
like, someone will be in trouble. So let's
see, brother. So they're not just to let
you know, they're not supposed to pass. So
these two red lines is your space and
the guest speaker.
And that
lot
you know second
line for the boys?
That's they shouldn't pass, not even the green
spot. So let's see. Jazakkah.
So as we said before, in the next
few months inshallah we'll be trying to expand
the school. We'll be asking the community for
support. So we need to give them a
good image. So please help me. When they
come, show them some respect and be nice
to them inshallah. Don't drive them nuts.
We'll answer the questions next time,
next week inshaAllah.
Very quickly. As I said yesterday, talk is
very cheap. It is very easy to talk,
you know, I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna
do this, I'm gonna do this, And when
it comes to action,
nothing happens. Right?
I remember I gave a talk in,
in one of the Masajid
to, school students.
And I said, I gave half an hour
talk about the Hadith of the Prophet SAW.
Alaiwum
minuakdukum khathayuhibla'ahiafil
mahekulimus.
None of you truly believes until they love
for their brother or sister what they love
for themselves. Half an hour I was talking.
What the Sahaba did, what the Prophet SAW
wasalam did, and Muhajirun,
Al Ansar, all that stuff. And mashaAllah, the
kids are excited, and I said, are you
able to do this?
Can you share something good with someone you
love them like you love yourself?
If both of you apply for a job
and your brother ends up getting the job,
would you be happy for him just like
you would be happy for yourself? And they
said yes.
And they said if Allah gave you something
nice, would you share some with your brother
or sister? No problem.
And I said okay, here is the test.
I got some candies in my pocket,
I'm gonna throw
them up,
1 by 1.
And if you catch 1, give it to
the person to your right.
Very simple. It's a very simple test. They
said, okay, we'll take the test. Masha'Allah. We
love for everyone what we love for ourselves.
Through the first one,
it landed in someone's hands,
and I said, give it to the person
to your right, and the person to the
right happened to be their own brother.
Biological brother.
You know?
And he said, Okay, you know what?
I'm not gonna share You're brother. Like,
you live in the same house. You have
the same father saying, no.
Shoot me first. Right? And the same with
the other ones, they almost killed each other.
So talk is very cheap. Right? I'm gonna
be nice, I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna
What proves
if you are a good person or not?
Your actions.
Right? Your actions.
So this is my message today inshaAllah. Let
your actions
speak louder than words. Right? So we ask
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to give you the
best in this life, and the best in
the life to come, and give you tawfiq
and success, and give you happiness and sa'ala
insha'Allah.
So insha'Allah we'll see if the guests are
ready so they can talk to you for
a minute or 2. Let
me see.
