00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			You, the Muslim community,
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:34
			you are the best community in the array
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			for mankind.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:36
			Right?
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			So you as a Muslim, you are part
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			of this Ummah, this community of Muslims.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			Guide us. And you are talking about yourself.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05
			Right?
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:09
			Guide us, not guide me. Why? Because you
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:10
			are making Daf yourself
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			and the rest of the Muslim woman. Right?
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:16
			So you you feel like you belong to
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:17
			this community.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			There's this beautiful hadith we mentioned a few
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			days ago and one of the brothers
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			loved it so much. The hadith says the
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:27
			prophet says in this authentic hadith, every time
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			you make dua for all Muslims,
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:30
			Allah
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:33
			will give you Hasanat for every Muslims. So
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			which means if you say, you Allah forgive
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			me and all Muslim brothers and sisters in
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			the world and make things easy for them,
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			you make dua for everyone.
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:41
			Allah, technically,
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			according to this hadith, will give you 1,600,000,000
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:46
			Hassanat. Right? So the
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			this brother told me a couple of days
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:51
			ago that he loves it so much that
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54
			now every man he makes dua for all
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			Muslims that Allah will forgive them and make
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:57
			will make it easy for them.
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:01
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala describes this Ummah in
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:04
			the Quran also as an Ummah then Wasata.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:08
			Wasata in the Quran means moderate. Right?
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			When you you look at the necklace,
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			the most beautiful part in the necklace is
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			the part in the middle. This is where
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			you have the most jewelry
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:17
			in the middle.
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:21
			When you eat the Awara Millen, Tarbos. Right?
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:24
			The sweetest part of Awara Millen is the
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			part in the middle. Right? Not close to
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			the skin. No. Right in the middle. So
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is saying basically that
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			this is the best ummah
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			ever evolved for mankind.
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			We know from Hadith of the prophet
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			that the best of the best
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			so, if you look at the names,
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:58
			suddib, wa, umar, uthman, Ali, just look at
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			the the last letter of every word,
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:04
			take the taf from suddib, a siddib, the
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:05
			last
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			letter of Umar, so taf,
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			raa, and you take the nun from Uthman,
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:12
			the last letter of nun, kaf raa, nun,
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14
			and you take the yad from Ali, the
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			last letter.
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:18
			The four letters form the word karni.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:19
			Karni.
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:20
			Right? My generation.
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:25
			But the Ayat comes with a condition.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			Yes, we're the best generation
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			but you have to fulfill 3 conditions.
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			Right? So number 1,
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:33
			Ta'marunah
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:33
			b'maru,
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:36
			you encourage what is good.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			And number 2
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			and you forbid what is evil and number
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			3 you have true faith in Allah.
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:45
			So
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:49
			if someone does not fulfill these three conditions
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			he is not one of the best. Right?
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says if you
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:55
			want to be one of the best, you
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			have to do this 1, 2, 3. Right?
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			They say if there are 2 people who
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			fall from,
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			a ship, one of them a Muslim but
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			he doesn't know how to swim and the
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			other one is non Muslim, but he knows
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			how to swim. Which one will survive? The
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			one who knows how to swim. The one
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:15
			who Ya'afu Bin Aspen. The one who does
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:15
			his best.
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			And we said it in fift, if you
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20
			have 2 doctors, one of them is Muslim,
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22
			but he's not practicing, he's not a professional
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			and there's a non Muslim who is a
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:27
			professional, he's an expert, which one should you
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:28
			go to?
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:31
			They say go to the expert because the
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:31
			Muslim
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			has to do his best to be among
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:37
			the best. Right? But if he's lazy, he's
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:38
			not doing his best, tell us it is
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			his problem. Right?
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is telling us
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44
			if you want to be part of the
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			best you have to do this encourage what
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			is good, forbid what is evil and have
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			faith in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53
			Of course, there are different conditions for Alhamdul
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			Maroof and Naya Mizunka. If you see something
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:58
			wrong, you correct it, and don't keep quiet.
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:01
			Just like Banu Israil in the same surah,
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:02
			it says, If
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			they see someone doing something wrong,
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:08
			they never said anything.
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10
			They would punish the poor
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:13
			and the lowly people, but the rich people
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:16
			they never touched them. Just like in most
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:19
			Muslim countries now, the laws are made for
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:20
			the poor people.
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21
			The rich people,
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24
			the law does not apply to them. Right?
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:27
			And some of the scholars, they call them
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			the scholars for dollars, they don't stand up
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			for what is right, they stand up for
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:35
			who is in power. Right? So they don't,
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:38
			you know, apply or qualify for this condition.
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:41
			They call them the scholars for dollars. Wadulara,
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43
			to wick and mazulah, all these things. So
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:45
			so they don't stand up for what is
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:48
			right. So they don't fall under, you know,
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			or they don't fulfill the qualifications or the
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:53
			conditions that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is giving
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:53
			in the egg.
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:56
			So when someone says this is right and
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:58
			this is wrong, and you see it all
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00
			the time especially after that. I don't explain
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:02
			in Muslim countries
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:05
			you see, you know, scholars are divided.
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:07
			Those who stand for what is right and
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:11
			those who stand with the rulers. Right? So
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			this is the problem. In this case, people
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15
			are not saying the truth they are just
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17
			trying to please not Allah but to please
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			whoever is in power and whoever has a
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:22
			gun. Right? So this is the problem for
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:22
			today.
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:25
			I'm gonna conclude with this story, I got
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:26
			only 1 minute.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28
			You know you heard the story from Farooz
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:31
			Saleem. It's not mission and hadith so we
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			don't know if it's authentic or no. Right?
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			But they say there was this ad that
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:36
			this scholar,
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:38
			he saw a group of people worshiping a
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:39
			tree
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			and he went and he wanted to cut
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:43
			down the tree so on the way he
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:46
			was stopped by Shaitan and Shaitan came in
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:47
			the form of
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49
			a man so Shaitan stopped him so the
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			man said I have to cut it down
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53
			this is Haram people are not worshiping Allah
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			so Shaitan said I will stop you so
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			they had a fight and this
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			Abid this worshiper he knocked down the Shaitan
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			he knocked him down he gave him a
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:04
			punch in the face the shaitan fell down
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			on the floor. So shaitan said okay you
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			don't have to cut it down just go
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:08
			home
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:11
			relax and come back and cut it down
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:12
			tomorrow. Right?
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:15
			And just because you're not going to cut
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:17
			it down tonight just go home and in
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19
			the morning you'll find a $100
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:20
			under your pillow.
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			So in the morning, sure enough, the man
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:25
			lifted the pillow and the $100
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:28
			were there. He said, okay, I don't have
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:29
			to cut it down today. You you know,
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31
			I'm gonna give him a few more days.
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33
			So every morning we opened his eyes and
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:34
			$100
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:37
			were there. So they say after 10 days
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39
			he lifted the pillow there was no money.
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:40
			Right?
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43
			So he went back, shaitan was there, he
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:45
			said okay where is my money? He said
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:47
			okay no more money. They had a fight
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:50
			and the shaitan won in this case.
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			So the man said okay why did you
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54
			beat me this time? Why didn't you beat
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:56
			me up this time? He said, because the
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58
			the first time we had a fight you
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:00
			were fighting for Allah because something wrong was
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:02
			done and you were doing it for Allah.
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:05
			Now you're fighting me for win for the
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
			money and this is why I beat you.
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:08
			You're not
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10
			doing it for Sabirina, you're doing it for
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			the money. So we ask Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:14
			ta'ala to grant us to what is best
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			in this community and give us sincerity in
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			everything we say and do.
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20
			Question from last night was
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:23
			the most difficult ayah in the Quran in
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:26
			terms of tafsir and Allah. Asa'al al Qurani
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:29
			tafsir and Allah, and the arlamat say it's
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:30
			ayah number 107
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:49
			Lina Sadi.
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:52
			Is there anyone to take the prize for
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:52
			her?
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:53
			Takdir.
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:54
			Oh.
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:56
			So we have a prize at the end
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:59
			of Shomar. So last question is also difficult
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:00
			from Surah Ahmed
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:02
			Ayat our 29th.
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:08
			Yes. Surah Al Ahmad,
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:10
			Surah 55,
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:11
			Ayah number
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:13
			29. What is the meaning of this of
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:16
			this ay? It is not like what most
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:18
			of the translators say in the translation. You
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:20
			have to dig deep and understand the actual
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:22
			meaning of the ayah. So if you know
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:24
			the meaning of this ayah, surah Rahman 55
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:25
			and 29,
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:28
			email me before tomorrow at info at misterhamatul.com.
