			Salam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh was Fiddler Han Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa
Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi Jamar ain a MOBA, welcome to the
continuation of Karim Allah, where we take lessons and reflections from the story of Musa alayhis
salaam. Now we've got to the point the story and once again we don't want to go through so much into
the story as much as we want to focus on lessons and reflections. But at the same time, we have to
		
00:00:50 --> 00:01:25
			talk about where are we in the story. So here we are Musala you Sam goes out he sees a man and a man
from from from bunnies saw eel, he is in conflict or he is arguing with another person and Egyptian
man and of Musa Hassan goes he does not intend to necessarily take the life of this person, but you
simply just push them away and eventually this person he died now Musala you Sam he seeks Allah
subhanaw taala is forgiveness he repents to Allah subhanho wa Taala yeah Robbie in need Ludlum to
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:57
			Neff See, fulfill the philosopher Allah and Musa you some he went into hiding here I want to show
himself and the new spreads all over Egypt that a person has died a person of you know a police
officer or you know someone of the Egyptian army and so forth has passed up the new spreads who is a
suspect who is a person who did this moosari Assam has kept himself covered during this entire life
and during this entire time, next day, Mousavi ism again goes out, he sees the same man, the
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:31
			Israelite he is again in conflict with another person. And this time this man he he basically
exposed of Musa Islam saying that are you going to come and attack me and kill me the way you kill
the person yesterday, that is when everyone found out that the person who killed the other person
and the person who is the perpetrator and the person who is the the person who killed this police
officer was Musa alayhis salam now at that time Musa Islam, he goes again into hiding he has no idea
		
00:02:31 --> 00:03:06
			what to do. And this is where we are in the story. Allah subhanho wa Taala he says what Roger aka
Sol Medina TSR Paul A Musa in El Mundo Tommy Luna Vika Leah Ko to look for Roger in me like Amina
Nazarene. Allah subhanho wa Taala says that a man came from the corner of the city and he came
coming all the way to Musala your son to inform him that there is a group of people. He said there's
a group of people in a group of people. Yeah, Tommy Runa Vika they are counsel and they're taking
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:37
			counsel from one another. They are consulting with one other Lea co Toluca they want to kill you for
Roger in the like Amin Nasser hain. My advice, I'm a sincere advisor, I will say that you leave town
and go away somewhere else. Now. Here what we see is that Musa al salaam, ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala
tells us that Musa Assam he is hiding, he has no idea what to do. And then you have a person who is
coming and telling him that this is what is going on. Then Allah says for huddle German, ha, he took
		
00:03:37 --> 00:04:13
			the Council of this person for 100 German hat and he left the city. He left Egypt Hall if and he was
scared, get that rock up. And he was fearful. Now fearful here how if it means one is to be scared.
But yet that record means that your fear has escalated to the point that you have no idea if any
person is out there to get you or not. You know what a person is. And we see this many times a
person is attacked, and then psychologically they become so affected by that attack. That anytime
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:40
			they go outside, they look at another person. They suspect that that person may come after them.
Although any other person outside they're absolutely fine. They're going you know, they're going,
you know, they're doing their own thing. They're minding their own business. But when a person has
been psychologically so affected, that they think that everyone this is this person, I suspected
that he could be one of the people who fit on, or I suspect that this person he's actually after me
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:59
			call Ethan Yetta rock club. And that's exactly what happened because the word has got out and now
the people have gone out and they're searching for Musa alayhis salam. Imam Al orthofeet Rahmatullah
Allah He actually mentioned this he says, that by this time fit around had already spread all his
people for him.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:34
			and wide, and he has told people that this person is wanted by the government. He is you know, he's
a criminal and so forth and we need to get him and therefore a fit on how to put all his people
around. And therefore Allah says yet at our club, but what did Musala ism do? He says, Yeah rugby he
says not Genie me and call me volley mean oh Allah save me from the oppressing nation. And then
Allah says wala matter what gehele call Madeon and then Allah says and then he went toward land of
		
00:05:34 --> 00:06:06
			Medina and Paula, Robbie and yeah, DNA, that indeed, and in sha Allah, Allah subhanho wa Taala will
guide me and yet at the end, Sawa Seville the right way. Because before this when Musa alayhis
salam, he's asking Allah subhanho wa Taala and he wants to seek refuge, you have to understand that
time they never had highways like today, they never had, you know, there were no roads like we have
today. So at that time, Musa was traveling through a desert. Now, if you have to travel from one
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:37
			place, to another place to a desert, you have to understand everywhere the desert looks like the
same. So it is very possible that if Musashi Islam is off by his direction, even a single bit, even,
you know, little here or little there, he will end up in the wrong place. So when you're traveling
through a desert, you have to be very precise with your direction. So here he's asking Allah
subhanaw taala that oh Allah save me. And number two, Oh Allah, I need some guidance. But in Musa
		
00:06:37 --> 00:07:07
			ism, he also has a confidence in Allah subhanho wa taala, that Allah subhanaw taala will will guide
him. So here, here we are. And this is the part of the story that I want to quickly reflect upon
today. Now, of course, the next part is even more important, which is that when he goes to muddy and
he sees to women, they have brought their animals to give them water and so forth. There is a lot
that can be mentioned over there about how do you treat and how do you interact with the opposite
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:35
			gender, who is a non Muharram this story, this part of the story actually highlights a lot about
that, and that will be talked about Inshallah, next week, but today, I want to quickly talk about
what can we take from these few ideas that we have talked about today. The very first thing that we
understand is that Subhanallah you know, comparing the Quran to the Bible, one thing that you will
see very much in the Quran is that the story has been mentioned, but there's not much names that are
		
00:07:35 --> 00:08:03
			mentioned. Like for example, you know, in a mammal or to be Rahmatullah in instead of seed, he
actually goes into this, this discussion, that this person when Allah subhanho wa Taala says what
Jah Rajon A man came, that's all that Allah said, and Imams report to me, he goes into this
discussion that who was this person and he has provided, you know, his own theories and so forth.
And he has also gathered some other theories of other Allamah, and so forth. And so this is
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:37
			something that we see that the Quran does not necessarily get into names so much, because the Quran
is a book that provides us information and knowledge that is relevant to the reader. You know, I
remember once I actually went to an interfaith gathering, and I remember we had to talk about
universality, some that was the discussion. It was me, and it was me and a pastor, and Subhanallah,
I noticed that during that event, there were a lot of discussions about names, like when Eunice Alia
		
00:08:37 --> 00:09:05
			his son went to the sea, who did the ship belong to? And who actually was the one who actually drew
the lots or drew the names, and so forth? And who was the one who actually threw universalism into
the water and so forth? There is so many names that is mentioned. And sometimes people may feel
that, you know, well, why doesn't the Quran mentioned so much names either, just like is mentioned
the Bible and so forth? The reason why is because it is irrelevant to the reader. How does it
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:38
			benefit a reader? If you know the name of the person who did such and such? So who came to Musa
alayhis salam that is irrelevant to us? What is his name that is irrelevant to us. While we all need
to know is at the bare minimum is there was a person who came to give this advice to Musa alayhis
salam. So this is why we find this very common in the Quran. This is why even in the Quran, even out
of all the Sahaba are always have a we only find one person's name Zaid, that's it. Only Z's name
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:59
			has been mentioned out of all the women that are that are have been mentioned. Usually we find Imran
Imran imra only one time only one name we find actually in the Quran in various places. And who is
that that is money am I there you sit up? So ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala he does not mention so many
names. Of course the reason why Allah mentioned the names of
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:31
			The Gambia is because when the Quran is being presented to the community, they need to know that
this Quran includes stories about the previous prophets. And not only that, but these stories of the
prophets of Gambia. They provide us valuable advice and valuable insight. So this is why this is a
style of the Quran that we all need to understand. The second thing that we learn from this story is
Musa alayhis salam, even though he's a prince, he has money, he has fame, you know, he can go
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:57
			anywhere, and he can buy whatever he wants. Resources are unlimited, and Musashi Islam as being the
adopted son of fit on here, and living in the palace of his own. But at the same time, he
understands that I need to have friends. See, there are two things here that I want to quickly
mention. Number one is the importance of having friends, and being connected with your own community
being connected with other people. This is first of all, number one, there is nothing in our deen
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:25
			that says that having friends is wrong. There is nothing that's part of our deen that even says that
even having you know, even non Muslim friends, there is nothing wrong in having non Muslim friends
either what the Quran actually tells us that when it comes to religious, religious advice, we cannot
take them as our own. Yeah, in the sense that our religious advisors and preachers and so forth, and
let them come and have such an impact upon us, that we give up everything. That is what the Quran is
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:52
			saying that we cannot have those kinds of friends, but if I just have a person I know they're just
friends and so forth, we keep it you know, very civilized, you know, you know, there are limits to
their friendship, there is nothing wrong and having friends of that type. But then the second thing
that we need to understand also is that what kind of friends what type of friends should we have
around us? You know, subhanAllah there is so much that is mentioned even in the Quran, there is so
		
00:11:52 --> 00:12:19
			much that is mentioned in the Sierra and in the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
And what we learned from all those is that the friends that you should seek out our friends that
have few certain qualities, for example, number one is that they should be sincere. If they have
this friendship with you, their friendship should be sincerely for the sake of Allah subhanho wa
taala. You say lie in a hate Allah, I say La either hate Allah, this brings us together, we are
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:47
			close to each other. Our friendship should not be based on worldly gain. It should not be based on
materialism. Today, we have friends, why? Because I want his resources or I want her resources and
so forth, and I can benefit from them. And the people that we feel like that, you know, they can
never be helpful to us. We don't even look at them. We don't even pay attention to them. And we
don't even want to, you know, say salam to them and so forth. That is not what our deen teaches us.
		
00:12:47 --> 00:13:16
			be connected to people, be friends with people only for the sake of Allah subhanho wa taala. Number
two is that whoever you are befriending making sure that they have religion in their life. They
understand Allah, they understand Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam, they respect the orders of
Allah subhanho wa Taala they apply Deen in their life, there is a certain level of religiosity in
their life. That is also something that we need to make sure when we befriend someone else, number
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:43
			three, so the very first one was it was sincerity. Number two is religiosity number three is highly
preferable if they are knowledgeable, why if they are knowledgeable and they are sincere, then
inshallah they can teach you and they can guide you the right way. Number four, they should have
carried her in a headlock. Even before Islam came, the Prophet SAW Selim, he exhibited noble
character, a person can have all these other things, but if they don't have character, they're
		
00:13:43 --> 00:14:13
			missing a key ingredient of the personality of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. So this is why
character is also very important. And the last thing is that when it comes to friends, and when it
comes to, you know, other people around you, making sure that you know who to take advice from, and
when to take advice. That Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam brothers and sisters taught us very
beautifully. There are times when he took the counsel of all of his Sahaba, for example, right
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:39
			before the battle trenches, he took everyone's opinion why? Because this is something that the
Muslims are going to be engaged with. And this is going to impact everyone. The problem was some he
included everyone. He talked to everyone. And this is something that's very important today. You
know, you find people that they will counsel and they will take the counsel of others. But at the
same time, they will take the counsel of only those people that they like. So one is to take
		
00:14:39 --> 00:15:00
			counsel, at the same time, take the counsel of everyone, whether you agree or you don't agree or you
like them, you don't like them. But the problem is I'm taught us that there were times when he took
the Council of everyone. And there were times when he took the Council of only few Sahaba of the
alotta and home such as after the Battle of brother. What do you do with the prisoner?
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:27
			Is the Professor Sam he counseled only who only obika the yellow tan and amaro the alotta and that's
all and he not as anyone else's opinion and so forth. So there are times, there are times when you
go and you seek counsel from your friends. And there are some certain situations that you cannot
always seek counsel from your friends and you haven't seek counsel from someone else. But it is
absolutely important that when we have friends, these are a few things that we should keep in mind.
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:57
			Number one, sincerity, number two, religiosity number three, knowledgeable number four, character
number five, there are times when you go and you seek their counsel. And not only that, but if
you're seeking their counsel, they should have the skills to provide that counsel, if you're taking
their counsel, and they have no experience in giving counsel, why would you go to that person and
take you know, take advice from them. So these are few things that we want to keep in mind when it
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:26
			comes to having friends or befriending someone else. The next thing that we learned from this is
what did Musa alayhis salam do? He is fearful absolutely fearful he does not know this person could
be one of the people fit on this person could be one of the people who fill out because once again
they're not after him to catch him and capture you know capture him and take him away. The Quran
says that this man is telling Musa that a group of people are talking about a capturing you and
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:55
			killing you and then they will fit out anything else you know that you know we captured Musa you
know he did something to himself or you know he committed suicide they could give any story to fit
around as they wish and fit on probably will accept it and believe it but these people are out there
to come and kill you. So Musala ism Of course as as naturally as anyone would he is scared. So what
did he do? He asked Allah subhana wa Tala for protection. And the reason why I'm bringing this up is
		
00:16:55 --> 00:17:24
			because all masala Marathi Allah Quran has she mentioned in a hadith that there was no time that the
prophets of Psalm he will leave the house except for he will read this dua, meaning that every time
the Prophet SAW Allah audio, some he would leave the house, there was a certain dua that he will
recite. And this dua is a very beautiful dua, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, it is so
short it is concise, but it is packed with so much meaning and so much effect. That dua is Allahumma
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:52
			inni are obika Avila Oh Allah, Oh Allah I seek refuge in You from misguiding anyone or being
misguided. And then and then the next part of the DUA is an Zillah Zillah that I seek refuge in You
have misbehaving or doing wrong to someone or being misbehaved with or someone misbehaving with you.
Or someone doing wrong to you.
		
00:17:53 --> 00:18:30
			Oh, ugly, my overlimit. I seek refuge in You Allah subhanho wa Taala from abusing or oppressing
someone else, or being the victim of oppression or abuse. And then finally Oh Agia Hola. Hola. Hola,
LA, of acting ignorantly with someone else, or being the victim of someone else's ignorance. This is
a dua the Prophet sallallahu Sallam Allahumma inni are odd because of the law. Oh, Allah. Oh asila
was ALLAH of Lima. Hola. Hola. Hola. Hola, la. This is a very beautiful dua the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:18:30 --> 00:19:01
			alayhi wa sallam narrated by OMA Salam out of the ultra Unha. So that's why I was strongly advised
that if you ever leave your house, always make this dua, you could come across anyone who can act
with you ignorantly or who can misguide you, or who can be abusive towards you, or that can you
know, or you know, do anything wrong to you or act in nearly with you. And what you are doing is
that you are asking Allah subhana wa Taala for his protection at all times. And this was a sunnah of
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:30
			the Prophet SAW Selim. Whenever he would go out of his house, he will recite this dua. So that's why
always keep in mind that when you leave your house next time, please read this dua. Finally, the
last thing that we learned from all this is when Musa Islam, he's saying yeah, he says Robin at
Gmail on your volume in and Allah says, Well, I'm the one call Medina call asabi. And yeah, at the
end, so SMB, you have to put some trust in Allah subhana wa taala. Here is not that Allah Subhan
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:59
			Allah has sent a worry to Musa remember that this is prior to him receiving prophet hood. This is
prior to him receiving prophethood so there is no way that has come to Musa alayhis salam yet, but
yet he has a confidence that inshallah inshallah Allah will guide him and that is why when we pray
to Allah subhanho wa Taala we need to have that confidence in Allah subhanho wa Taala that inshallah
Allah will help us today. You know, we think that I need to see a sign
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:31
			I am from Allah subhanho wa Taala I've made dua to Allah but I don't know if Allah has answered my
prayer or has he ignored my prayer. I don't have a sign I've not seen a sign and so forth. Brothers
and sisters when it comes to our relationship with Allah subhanho wa Taala Our job is to pray to
Allah Our job is to supplicate to Allah. Our job is to is to advocate to Allah subhanho wa Taala and
plead to Allah and make dua and Allah does not necessarily have to send us a sign if we see
		
00:20:31 --> 00:21:01
			something in our life higher Alhamdulillah but it is not necessarily true that Allah will
necessarily send you a sign. And if you don't see a sign that is not a sign that Allah has not
responded to you or Allah has not you know, he is not he does not care about your DUA Allah listens
to all of our requires the help of Allah subhanho wa Taala will inshallah come but we have to have a
lot of optimism and hope in Allah subhanho wa taala, just like your Musala you some I said don't be
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:30
			and yet the Sol Sol be in sha Allah, Allah will guide me to the right path. And once again, Allah
subhanaw taala did indeed guide him to the right path. He had that that hoping Allah, Allah
delivered. And so think about this, once again, as I said earlier, he's traveling through a desert,
even one one degree off right or left, even one degree off, you could end up in totally different
places. You have to be very precise and he led Allah subhanho wa Taala led Musa lism all the way
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:58
			precisely to the city of Medina. And so this is why keep in mind that always have your optimism in
Allah subhanho wa Taala I ask Allah subhanaw taala to give all of us ability, once again, what we
learn is today is that number one is the about the Quran the style of the Quran. Number two is that
when you want to have or when you want to seek out friends and others, what are some of the things
that you want to look at? Number three is that the Prophet SAW Allah while your son every time he
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:26
			would go out, he will recite a DUA, or do either you and I should we should all recite and we should
memorize and finally always have your hope and Allah subhanho wa Taala make your DUA and move on in
sha Allah and put your trust in Allah. Allah Subhan Allah will deliver I ask Allah subhana wa Taala
to give us the ability to add one who has been seen and heard and may Allah give us ability to take
these lessons and apply them in our life and Mirabella Alameen Zakka Mala hade a salaam wa was in a
