00:00:13 --> 00:00:14
			So the prophet
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:17
			says in this authentic hadith, or everybody in
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19
			Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him and
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:20
			his father,
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:21
			that
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:24
			people most people have 2 blessings that they
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			don't understand
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			the value
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27
			of these 2 blessings,
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			and these 2 blessings are *
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:31
			and
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			So the meaning of the hadith, the people
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			don't understand the value of these two blessings.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			They waste them, and sometimes they use them
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57
			to destroy themselves. When you have plenty of
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58
			time
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			and you're healthy and you don't know what
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:01
			to do, sometimes
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			you use your help, you use your time
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05
			to destroy yourself.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			The best thing about Canada is freedom,
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12
			and the worst thing about Canada is too
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			much freedom.
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:14
			Yesterday,
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			this non Muslim Canadian
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			white man came to my office, and he
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			wanted to know about the land about Islam.
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			Before he started to talk, he showed me
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:28
			a portrait of his son, 21 years old,
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			young and healthy and handsome.
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			And he told me that his son jumped
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			over a a bridge a couple of weeks
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			ago and he killed himself.
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			And this is why he started to, to
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			look for God because he was an agnostic
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			or atheist, and he started to learn about
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:45
			Islam and and different faith.
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			Use it to do something good. Help yourself,
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			your family, and people.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:20
			Pray. If Allah
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			gave you eyes, use it to look at
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			what Allah
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:25
			has made permissible.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			If he gave you ears, only listen to
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			what is permissible.
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			Otherwise, if you use it for Haram, you
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			will be destroying yourself.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			And this is the meaning of the hadith
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:36
			of the prophet
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:02
			So a man came to one of the
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:05
			scholars his name is Abu Hazib and he
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			said how do I thank Allah
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10
			for the blessing of the eyes?
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:13
			So he said to be grateful for your
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14
			eyes, if you see something good,
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			remember it. If you see something bad or
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			evil, forget it.
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21
			And he said, how do I show gratitude
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			for my ears? He said, if you hear
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:27
			something good, remember it and broadcast it. And
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:30
			when you hear something evil or something bad,
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:33
			just forget about it. Don't convey it to
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:33
			other people.
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:09
			So some people, they abuse
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			these blessings from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:13
			therefore,
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			they contribute to their own destruction
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			in this life and the next.
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			So those who use their help to bully
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:22
			other people
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			and those who use their eyes to disobey
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:26
			Allah
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:29
			They use their tongues to backbite people and
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:29
			cheat.
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			Those who use their ears to listen to
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:33
			the Haram, so they use them in bad
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:36
			things, so they incur sins from Allah Subhanahu
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:38
			Wa Ta'ala. And in the next life, they
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:39
			will be punished for
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			this. Some people use their eyes to envy
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:43
			other people.
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:06
			So
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:09
			some people use their eyes to envy other
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:11
			people and we heard of this backbone.
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:12
			So this guy,
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:14
			he was a loser.
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17
			Every time he gets into business, he runs
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			out of business. So his brother, his own
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:22
			brother, flesh flesh and blood, was very successful
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:22
			in business.
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:25
			Successful businessman. So he wanted to envy his
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27
			brother and destroy his business.
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			So he hired this profession of India
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			to look at his brother and destroy him
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			and his business. So he told him, my
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:36
			brother is coming from a journey with a
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:39
			caravan of camels, loaded with all different goods
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			and stuff. So I want you to stop
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			by the gates of the city when my
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:44
			brother comes.
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:47
			In, and he will die and all his,
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49
			caravan will be destroyed.
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			So sure enough, they went to the entrance
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53
			of the city, the gates, and and he
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			saw his brother coming from a long distance,
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			like 3, 4 miles. So he said to
		
00:06:57 --> 00:07:00
			the professional, here is my brother. He's coming
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			from there. India. Start your machine.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:04
			He said, where? I can't see him. He
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:07
			said, over there, man. 3, 4 miles by
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			Saint Albert. Just just look at him. He
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11
			looked at him. He couldn't see anything.
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			So the brother said that I can't see
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			him from here. You can't see him? So
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:16
			the provisional emir said,
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19
			can you see him from here? I can't
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			see. So the guy looked his eyes
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			because he emptied him.
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:38
			So the Quran talks about the big bang
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:41
			theory, the Surah Al Anbiya, verse number 30.
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:44
			Happened that this believer seen that the universe
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:46
			and the earth or the earth and the
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:49
			heavens would were one solid mass and was
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:50
			put them asunder.
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			So this is the big bag, Surah Al
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54
			Anbiya, verse 30, and the winner is Mustafa
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:55
			Al Ankur.
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:57
			So I
		
00:07:58 --> 00:07:59
			where?
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:01
			Wait.
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:24
			There's a verse in Juz Tabak that you
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:25
			can read,
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:28
			from the front, like, forwards, and you can
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:30
			read it backwards. It reads the same thing,
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:32
			that verse in the Quran. If you know
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34
			the answer, you may leave before tomorrow as
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:36
			the CIC, then and then you will become
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:36
			the
