00:00:04 --> 00:00:07
			Indeed, our praise belongs to Allah, the Most
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			High. We thank him and we seek his
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:11
			aid and we seek his forgiveness and we
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			seek refuge with him from the evil of
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			ourselves and from our bad actions.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			Whoever law guides them, there is no one
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			who can mislead him. And whoever law causes
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:21
			to go astray, then there is no one
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22
			to guide him.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			I bear witness that there is no deity
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			except Allah who is unique and without partners.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			And I bear witness that Muhammad is his
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			worshipper and his messenger. May the peace and
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			blessings of Allah be upon him and his
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			family and his companions
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			and those who follow them with good intentions
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			until the day of judgment.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:41
			Only who believe fear Allah as he should
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:44
			be feared and don't die except as Muslims.
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			Again, all you who believe fear Allah as
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			you should be feared and don't die
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			except as Muslims.
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			O mankind, be careful of your duty to
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:56
			your ab who created you from a single
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			soul and from it created its maiden, from
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			the 2 of them spread forth many men
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			and many women. Be careful of your duty
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:05
			to Allah who may demand your mutual rights
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			and be careful of your duty to the
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			wounds that bore you. Indeed,
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			Allah is our al Akib over you.
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			For you who believe, through Allah, in all
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			we speak the truth, he will cause your
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			deeds to be beneficial, and he will forgive
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			for you your sins. And whoever obeys Allah
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:22
			and his messenger, then he has truly achieved
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			a tremendous accomplishment.
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			Indeed, the best speech is the book of
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			Allah and the best guidance is the guidance
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			of Muhammad in
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			the most evil of all affairs,
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			a new and inventive matters, which has no
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:37
			precedence in Islam. And indeed, all innovations are
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			astray, and each astray is in the hellfire.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42
			Oh, Allah. Save us from it. Oh, Allah.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:43
			Accept our du'a.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:49
			And surely,
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:52
			we have created many of the jinn and
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:55
			mankind for *. They have hearts wherewith they
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:58
			understand not. They have eyes wherewith they see
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:01
			not. They have ears wherewith they hear not.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:04
			They are like cattle, neigh even more astray.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			Those that are the heedless ones.
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			They are the heedless ones.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:12
			And when we look at this particular ayat,
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			you know, a lot is comparing
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			people who
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			just don't see
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			in a spiritual level.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			It's comparing them to cattle. He he even
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			says they're worse than cattle,
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			worse than cattle,
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			worse than sheep.
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			Basically, we have to look at, you know,
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			how
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:31
			are we going to be? What is gonna
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			be our attitude
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:37
			towards the submission that we're supposed to have
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:37
			as Muslims?
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			Are we just Muslims by
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:41
			name?
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			Are we by Muslims by
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:46
			character and behavior? Because as the prophet said,
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:50
			he only came to change character, to improve
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:50
			character.
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			Because the Arab community was some of the
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:54
			worst people in the planet.
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:55
			Drinking.
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			You know, all their culture was just about
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:58
			alcohol.
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			The killing the the the female child,
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:02
			evil, marrying,
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			family members. It's it's just they would they
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:06
			would they would be beyond ignorant. That's what
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			he called the the age of Jahaliyah,
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:10
			the age of ignorance.
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			And many of us come out of our
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14
			own form of Jahaliyah. And so we have
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:18
			to recognize that why are we Muslim? When
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			we have, you know and, like, even your
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			parents say, they asked their children.
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			And even my children were asked, you know,
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			when did you become a Muslim for yourself?
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:28
			When did you become a Muslim for yourself?
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			Because many of us were born going to
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:31
			church.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:33
			You know, some of us
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			didn't go to anything, didn't have any type
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:36
			of religion,
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			but Allah gave us Islam.
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			And we have to ask ourselves, when are
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:45
			you practicing Islam for yourself and not just
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:45
			to be seen?
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			You have to look at this ayat and
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:48
			understand
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:52
			that we have to have all of our
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:52
			faculties.
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:54
			We can have all of our faculties
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			and not proceed Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala on
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			a spiritual level because that's the that's the
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:00
			ultimate goal.
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:03
			The sign you to to worship Allah as
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			if you see him although you can't see
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:05
			him.
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			Worship Allah as if you see him, you
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			know, again, even though you will not be
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			able to see Allah. We have to work
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			to be better than animals
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:18
			and seek a higher purpose.
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20
			These are some of the things that we
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:20
			have to look at.
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:22
			You know, a part of
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			our main purpose is that we need to
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:26
			be expressing gratitude
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			on a daily basis. You know, people ask
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:29
			me, well, how are you doing? And tell
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:30
			them I woke
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:32
			up. Because a lot of people didn't wake
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			up today, brothers and sisters.
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37
			You know, I was talking to someone last
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:38
			night and they said,
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			our generation, when I was raised up in
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			Chester in in Philadelphia area,
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			our generation, many of us didn't expect to
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:47
			make it to 21.
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			You know, I mean, some people in the
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53
			streets today, they they they have that same
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:53
			type of attitude.
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:55
			You know, but Allah has allowed me to
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:58
			get 69 years on the planet. So if
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			Allah allows you to get many years on
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			the planet, what are you gonna do? How
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:04
			are you gonna change? What are you going
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:07
			to improve upon? Because, again, there's a concept
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:10
			of quality assurance in business that nothing is
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:11
			ever perfect. And so we have to have
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:12
			that same
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:15
			attitude in our deen. We're never perfect.
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			We're never perfect. Only the law is perfect.
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20
			But we wanna strive for goodness every day.
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21
			We wanna have that attitude
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:23
			of gratitude. That's important.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:25
			The prophet said,
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			whoever does not think people does not think
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:31
			Allah. Again, whoever does not think people does
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:32
			not think Allah.
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:34
			And how do you hear that?
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:35
			And,
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:36
			basically,
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39
			we don't know what's gonna get you across
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:39
			the bridge.
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:41
			The bridge,
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:43
			you know, over the hellfire.
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:45
			It may be that
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			animal that you helped out one day or
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			that person that you helped out, you know,
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:53
			with with fix a flat or help give
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:55
			you a jump from the car or the
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57
			little change you gave to a homeless person.
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:58
			You don't know what will get you across
		
00:05:58 --> 00:05:59
			that. So it's about
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:03
			doing everything feasibility about for a lost pleasure.
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:05
			That's how we have to be, and that's
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:07
			how we can show the gratitude. And that's
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:09
			when people do things for us. You know,
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:10
			a lot of times, you know, we we
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:11
			get defensive.
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:13
			Oh, you shouldn't have done that. Oh, you
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15
			shouldn't have said that. Just say thank you.
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:18
			You keep it moving because they're giving blessings.
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:21
			They're giving blessings. Again, this particular high even
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:22
			highlights the fact again
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:23
			that showing
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:27
			gratitude is a significant part of our Hidade.
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:29
			It's a significant part of our worship.
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:30
			Just being grateful.
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:32
			Just being grateful
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			and failing to do so. It's a form
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			of ingratitude to Allah.
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:38
			And, you know,
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:40
			especially for us old baby boomers,
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			you know, if you didn't come into the
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:44
			room and then when you come into the
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			room and you didn't speak to an elder,
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			you you might get your head slapped off.
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:50
			You know, you get a consequence.
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:52
			You know? You know, the and and give
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			me our parents taught us, you know, to
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			have certain amount of gratitude.
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:58
			You know, as listeners, you know, we have
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:01
			to basically understand that. You know, there's a
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:04
			penalty. If if we didn't show gratitude,
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			you say thank you or you don't, show
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			him manners and all of that. That's the
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			basics of the family that
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			that we would teach that the family members
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:13
			would teach us.
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:16
			And so that's what Allah is saying. Just
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			show gratitude. Be grateful. Be grateful that you
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			wake up. Be grateful that you have what
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			you have. The prophet
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:23
			said, don't look
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:25
			up. Look down.
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			In other words, don't look at the millionaires
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:29
			and the billionaires,
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31
			but look at the people who are sleeping
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:32
			in the street,
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:33
			people who,
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:36
			housing insecure, people who are hungry,
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39
			you know, and have a level of gratitude.
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41
			I look at people as we walk in
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:42
			the park on a daily basis.
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:46
			And I asked myself and I talked about
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48
			it. What is their story? What is their
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:50
			story that they're in this condition?
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:52
			And
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54
			I said, all the blame and phallic, I
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:57
			seek refuge and love from becoming that way
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:58
			because everybody
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:00
			can can sink low
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:02
			and everybody can be raised high, but it's
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:05
			based on how you participate in this deed.
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			You know, are you praying just like the
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:12
			chicken pecking for feed, or are you basically,
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:14
			you know, praying to basically clean your heart
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:16
			to
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:19
			instill a level of iman in your heart
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			so that you can, you know, basically do
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:22
			as much good as possible?
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:25
			And, again, as I stated, our parents, they
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:26
			understood
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:28
			the importance of of gratitude.
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:31
			You know? And so we have to, you
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:33
			know, look at, you know, why do we
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35
			challenge a lot when he mentions that there's
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:36
			a certain level of punishment
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:40
			for ingrate for people who are being ungrateful.
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43
			Because he tell us, you know, if you
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			don't show gratitude, you don't get get a
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:45
			punishment.
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:48
			You know, this particular verse that didn't highlight
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:50
			the importance of using our senses
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:55
			to recognize again that Allah has bestowed upon
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:57
			us many things, many things. Like I said,
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:59
			don't look up. As the prophet said, don't
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:01
			look up, Look down.
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:04
			Don't look at what people what people who
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:05
			have more than that you have. Look at
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07
			the people who have less than you
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:09
			and see what you can do for them.
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:10
			But even if it's a kind word, as
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:13
			the prophet also said, even a smile is
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:13
			charity.
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:16
			Because you have people walk all day,
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:17
			and
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:20
			and and nobody will speak to them. You
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:22
			know, tell you all the story often about
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:24
			I was in his class on suicidology,
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:26
			and the person said that he wouldn't kill
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:28
			himself if a person smiled at him. He
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:30
			was going towards the Golden Gate Bridge to
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:31
			jump off the bridge.
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:34
			And he walked and looked in people's faces
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:36
			and looked in people's faces. And one person
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:38
			smiled and then he turned around because he
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:39
			told his therapist that say, if if if
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:41
			somebody smiled at me, I wouldn't have killed
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:41
			myself.
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44
			And somebody smiled, and the person who smiled
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:47
			at him did not know and does not
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:47
			know
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:49
			the power of that smile that he gave
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:50
			him.
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:53
			Saved the man's life. He got into treatment,
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			and and he was left to tell that
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:55
			story.
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58
			And so, again, we don't know
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:59
			people's stories.
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:03
			And so we have to be grateful that
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05
			Allah has given us this deen.
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			This deen is the supreme deen.
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:09
			This is the last the Quran is the
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:10
			last testament,
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:13
			and so we have to treat it as
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:13
			such.
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:17
			We live in a society that's majority,
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:19
			none none, or not yet risky.
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:20
			But
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:23
			are we given the dawah?
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:26
			You know, are we given the dawah verbally,
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:28
			or are we giving the dawah, you know,
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:30
			through our behaviors? Or are we, you know,
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:32
			dressing as Muslims and doing other
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:35
			things? Are we basically
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:37
			transversing the the both worlds?
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:40
			You know, the dope world, the gangster world,
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:41
			and then coming to Jummah,
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44
			going to the Masjid. You know, Islam is
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:46
			supposed to clean that up. That's supposed to
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:47
			be the past, brothers and
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:51
			sisters. You know, we have to basically change.
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:53
			Allah said he does not change our condition
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55
			until we change what is in our hearts.
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:57
			That's what we have to look at doing.
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:01
			In Islam, again, showing gratitude is, again, it's
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:03
			fundamental to our faith.
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:05
			An attitude
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:08
			of gratitude helps keep us humble, helps to
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:09
			keep us humble because
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			throughout the day, and that's why we we
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:13
			pray the 5 times a day.
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:15
			You know, it's it's a reminder.
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:18
			And then between, if we're victorying, if we're
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:20
			reading, if we're connecting with people on a
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:23
			healthy way, it helps us to maintain that
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:24
			level of humility.
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:27
			And being humble doesn't mean that you're weak.
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:30
			Being humble is recognition that there is a
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:33
			strength that that comes from some somewhere outside
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:35
			of us, and that strength has come from
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:36
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:39
			That's what being humble is, that that we
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:39
			know
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:42
			from Allah we come and then surely to
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:44
			Allah is our return. It's the remnants of
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:46
			Allah on a daily basis that helps to
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:48
			strengthen our faith.
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:51
			And during these times, during these perilous times,
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:53
			specifically in this part of the world,
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:55
			we're gonna go into
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:57
			problems.
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00
			We have the political climate going on
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:03
			and the country is divided.
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:05
			And so
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:06
			when
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:09
			and if and when problems starting to happen,
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			what would be your position?
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:15
			What will be your role? Because a lot
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:17
			of times they put Muslims on the menu.
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:20
			And so we have to be prepared in
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:21
			how what's the best way to prepare is
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:23
			not to just go get guns and knives
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:24
			and all of that stuff, but the best
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:26
			way to prepare is preparing your
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:29
			heart, preparing your heart to be ready for
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:30
			any type of adversity.
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:33
			And then Allah will give you the inspiration
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:34
			as to what you need to do.
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:37
			You know, because we can engage in passive
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:40
			resistance, and we can engage in active resistance.
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:41
			It's within our DNA. We can do both.
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:43
			But you have to have
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:44
			basically,
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:47
			a clear understanding of what tool to use.
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:50
			Like, you don't use a screwdriver on the
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:50
			boat.
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:52
			You know, you use the proper tool for
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:54
			the proper situation.
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:56
			You know,
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:59
			we have to increase our faith.
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:01
			The remembrance of a long and daily basis
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:04
			helps helps us helps to keep shaytan
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:07
			away from us no matter in what form
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:10
			the shaytan comes to us. The concept of
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:12
			gratitude or shukr in Arabic
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:15
			is mentioned over 70 times in the Quran,
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:18
			and it's one of the most important acts
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:20
			that that we can engage upon, brothers and
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:22
			sisters. These are some of the things that
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:24
			I wanted to just bring to you today
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:25
			just we've been reflecting
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:28
			on just the importance. You know, I'm just
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:30
			grateful that Allah has given me the family
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:31
			that I have and the community that I
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:34
			have and and the the path that Allah
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:35
			has put me on because when we look
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:38
			back, specifically for us older brothers, you know,
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:41
			each each period of our lives, we reach
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:42
			a fork in the road and we say,
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:45
			well, if I take taken this fork, if
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:46
			I went right instead of left,
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:48
			then this might have happened.
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:50
			And and then
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52
			when we look down how Allah had been
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:53
			guiding us all along
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:56
			to to this path. So these are some
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:57
			of the things that we have to look
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:59
			at. What does the law says?
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:02
			And remember when the law when the law
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:03
			proclaimed,
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:06
			if you are grateful, I will surely increase
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:08
			you in in favor. But if you
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:10
			deny, indeed, my punishment
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:11
			is severe.
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:14
			So the great gratitude is important. It's a
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:15
			big part
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:18
			of who we are supposed to be about,
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:20
			what we're supposed to be about. This verse
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:23
			again, it emphasizes that, again, the gratitude
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:25
			is not just expressing,
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:28
			you know, our love and appreciation,
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:30
			you know, for Allah, but it's a way
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:31
			of earning
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:34
			the blessings from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:34
			avoiding
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:37
			the punishment of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. You
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:38
			know, again,
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:39
			these are some of the things that we
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:41
			have to look at, and we don't wanna
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:44
			be superficial about it, brothers and sisters.
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:47
			We don't wanna display superficial gratitude, but it
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:48
			should be heartfelt.
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:49
			And, again,
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:50
			it should be
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:52
			only
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:55
			for the pleasure of Allah. You should only
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:56
			do what feasts to be the law, and
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:57
			you know it
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			when you feel it in your heart. If
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:01
			I've said anything that's inconsistent with what Allah
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:03
			has given us and the prophet, peace be
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:05
			upon him, has taught us and role model
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:06
			and role model for us, I take full
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:09
			responsibility for that if I've said anything in
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:11
			which you have gained some new insight. As
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:12
			always, all praise belongs to Allah.
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:34
			All our sin, peace and blessings upon the
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:36
			beloved prophet and his family and his companions
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:39
			in Allah. Increase his honor and elevate his
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:41
			station and grant him the highest place in
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:44
			paradise and bless him with your divine mercy.
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:46
			Oh, Allah, bless us with his intercession on
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:48
			the day of judgment and forgive
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:49
			our sins.
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:51
			Amen. The prophet said
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:52
			that
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:56
			Allah is pleased with 3 things from his
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:56
			servants,
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:58
			that he worships him alone,
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:01
			that he does not associate anything with him,
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:04
			and that he is grateful to him. That's
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:07
			what Sahih Muslim Hadid. He also said that
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:07
			gratitude
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:10
			for gratitude for the blessing
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:13
			is in itself a blessing. And so
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:16
			for those of you who are mathematically inclined
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:18
			to just being grateful for something,
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:22
			Basically, it's a it's a blessing in itself.
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:23
			So you get multiple
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:26
			rewards for one action. Just being grateful, you
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:29
			get a blessing for that. You know, again,
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:32
			the actions have to be for for Allah,
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:35
			and the pleasure of Allah Allah. What does
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:38
			the law says? That I am one who
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:41
			is in need of nothing, but the grateful
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:43
			servant is the one who is in need
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:45
			of me. So Allah doesn't need anything from
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:47
			us. As human beings, we have to understand
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:50
			that be humble enough to understand that Allah
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:52
			does not need anything from us. That's to
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:55
			dictate from Allah. He don't need us. We
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:55
			need him.
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:58
			You know, that's why we have to continuously
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:00
			reflect on what we have been given. We
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:02
			come from,
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:05
			as he says in English, a flood despised.
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:07
			That was our origin.
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:09
			That was our origin.
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:10
			But
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:13
			as we grow, we can we can get
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:14
			become arrogant.
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:17
			And so brothers and sisters, we have to
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:17
			learn
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:18
			to
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:19
			be grateful,
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:20
			be humble,
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:23
			and also be thankful for the things that
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:25
			Allah has given us and also for the
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:27
			things that Allah has kept from us.
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:30
			The law says that
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:32
			he loves those who are thankful.
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:34
			He loves those who are thankful.
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:38
			So we we have to look at how
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:40
			can we have a paradigm shift
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:43
			where we basically
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:44
			are not,
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:47
			you know, inclined towards being
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:49
			self centered to the point that we don't
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:50
			help others,
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:52
			that we don't, you know, basically,
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:56
			engage in behaviors that are inconsistent with this
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:56
			deen.
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:58
			You know, we have to be of those
		
00:17:58 --> 00:17:59
			who are striving
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:01
			to be the best Muslims that we can
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:03
			possibly be. And again,
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:05
			it no matter how long we've been Muslim,
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:07
			10, 20, 30, 40, 50 years,
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:09
			there's still room for improvement.
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:11
			We continue to strive
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:14
			until we're no longer alive.
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:16
			We have to have that attitude of gratitude.
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:19
			We have to think if we're doing things
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:19
			that are inconsistent,
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:21
			you know,
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:22
			in sacrifice.
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:25
			Make the sacrifice. Give it up.
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:27
			And then the law will give you something
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:31
			better. Whether it's a relationship, whether it's a
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:33
			a job, or the way you're making money,
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:34
			you know, give it up if you're doing
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:35
			it physically,
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:37
			Allah Allah, you gotta have enough faith to
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:39
			know that something better is around the corner.
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:42
			We have to be of those who are
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:44
			grateful that if we have spouses in our
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:46
			lives, the prophet, peace be upon him, said
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:48
			the best of you are those who are
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:50
			best to their families, not best to their
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:51
			families,
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:53
			best to their families.
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:55
			Because you have
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:57
			brothers and sisters who are putting their hands
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:58
			on each other.
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:00
			And so
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:02
			if you look at the prophet, peace be
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:04
			upon him, you don't see him ever
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:07
			engaging in any type of domestic violence.
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:10
			And so if you got to hit him,
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:11
			you need to quit him.
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:13
			You know, these are some of the things
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:14
			that we have to look at. We wanna
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:16
			be the best to our families and not
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:18
			the beast in our family.
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:19
			You know, these are some of the things
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:22
			that we should look at working on.
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:25
			You know, if there's an anger issue there,
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:27
			there's treatment for that. Just like, you know,
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:29
			people are, oh, a Muslim. I just pray
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:31
			I'm not gonna go to a counselor.
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:33
			You know? But big Greg would say, if
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:34
			I get shot, don't take me to the
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:35
			health food store.
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:37
			You know? He going to he wouldn't go
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:40
			to the hospital. So you have specialists who
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:43
			who help treat anger. We have specialists who
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:46
			help treat, you know, addiction. We have specialists
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:49
			who help treat different types of mental illnesses.
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:51
			So just like you get help for the
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:53
			physical illness, you should get help for the
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:55
			psychological and spiritual illnesses.
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:58
			You know, you just can't pray everything away.
		
00:19:58 --> 00:20:00
			You know, you pray for guidance, and then
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:01
			Allah
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:02
			puts the necessary
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:05
			instruments in your way to help you to
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:07
			be able to make the necessary changes.
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:08
			And, again,
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:12
			when we are grateful, we get Allah's love.
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:14
			We get his goodness, and we get contentment.
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:16
			And again, gratitude
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:20
			is concerned to be a fundamental aspect of
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:22
			faith and a way to show devotion to
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:24
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. It's also a way
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:25
			for us to recognize
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:29
			that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has bestowed upon
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:29
			us
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:30
			great things
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:32
			and to express
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:34
			appreciation for them. That's a part of our
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:36
			deen. That's a part of who we are
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:37
			as Muslims.
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:40
			As the law says,
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:43
			as for those who believe and do good
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:44
			deeds, surely
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:47
			we make them live in ease, and we
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:49
			will most certainly give them
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:50
			to drink
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:53
			a purified a purified drink.
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:54
			You know, again,
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:57
			as for those who do good do do
		
00:20:57 --> 00:21:00
			good deeds, surely we make them we make
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:02
			them live in ease, and we will most
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:06
			certainly give them to drink of purified drink.
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:07
			Those are some of the things that we
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:09
			have to strive on, brother and sister, to
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:11
			be able to get to get our thirst,
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:14
			our spiritual thirst quenched in that way. You
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:17
			know, we have to engage in good deeds
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:19
			and once and we also have to show
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:22
			gratitude and have that, again, attitude of gratitude.
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:39
			Our lord, take us not to task if
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:42
			we forget or fall into error. Our lord,
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:43
			lay not on us a burden such as
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:44
			you did lay on those who have gone
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:46
			before us. Our lord, lay on us a
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:48
			burden which we do not have the power
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:50
			to bear and overlook our faults and forgive
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:52
			us and have mercy upon us. You are
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:54
			our protector and grant us a victory over
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:56
			the disbelieving people he coming in front of.
