00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			I was going to give a talk before
		
00:00:01 --> 00:00:02
			I show up.
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			Just to introduce the idea that we're going
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			to decide today for I show up.
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:10
			I'm gonna just today, I guess, tonight, I
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			want to learn about Islam. I want to
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			learn how to pray, so I got busy
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:15
			with them. So
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			Why do you like the Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:18
			ta'ala?
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			Well, there are so many things to be
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:23
			thankful for. The fact that He gave you
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:24
			the name of Islam, and this is what
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			you would be worshiping other human beings or
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:48
			animals as some people do. Some people worship
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:51
			such shaitan, some people worship idols, stones, some
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54
			people worship the stars, the fire, some people
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:57
			even worship lights and roaches. So Allah subhanahu
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:57
			wa ta'ala,
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			his grace.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			He gave you this nahmah of his love
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			so you don't have to worry about all
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:03
			these things.
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			Thank you, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, the nahmah
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:06
			of life.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			Thank him for the nahmah of the eyes
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			that you can see with, the ears you
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			can hear with,
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			the nose you can smell with, the tongue
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			you can talk with.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			All these are naa from Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:20
			Ta'ala that you should be thankful for. Just
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:21
			imagine to that when you go to your
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:24
			home and you are in your living room,
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:25
			just close your eyes
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			and try to make it to your your
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			bedroom.
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31
			Close your eyes and just feel your way
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32
			with with your hands
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			or just walk with one foot.
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:38
			See how difficult your life is. Okay?
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			If you don't have ice, how are you
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			gonna go to school? Will you be able
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:45
			to drive around and play basketball or hockey
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			or soccer?
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:50
			Can you watch the World Cup? You can't.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			Your life will be difficult. Will it be
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			easy to find a job? Think about it.
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56
			Will you be able to find a beautiful
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:59
			wife? Who knows? If they if they marry,
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:03
			Maya Tyson's, I believe sister or sister who
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:03
			bites,
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			You you never know because you can't see.
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			Your life will become difficult. You have all
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10
			these favors, and you don't know what to
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:13
			heck for. You keep whining. You keep whining
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:13
			all the time.
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:17
			You whine about shaking a room with someone.
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			Well, there are millions of homeless people in
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:20
			the world.
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			You whine about the food you give out
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:23
			of God. Well, there are people who fast
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:26
			the whole day and they don't have to
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:27
			something to break their fast with.
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:31
			You know, think about all these things. Okay?
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			At least you have a place to stay,
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:34
			you You have food to eat. You have
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:35
			family.
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			Those of you who are married and have
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			kids and so on and so forth, there
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			are millions of people in this world who
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:41
			are homeless.
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:43
			They are jealous.
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			They are mindless.
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			They are carless, they don't have a car,
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			they don't have a place to stay. So
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			at least say thank you to Allah
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			There is a lot to be thankful for.
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			And this is why Rasulullah
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			used to say,
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			until his his feet were swollen and they
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			said, yeah, Rasulullah, you don't have to do
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20
			this in buffet. He said,
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:24
			should not I be a grateful and a
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			thankful servant of Allah? So the prophet
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:29
			used his Ibad as a way of saying
