00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			And you know why you get so nervous?
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			The first thing you have is a fear
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			that you'll say something that everybody will laugh
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:06
			at.
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			This is your fear. And that fear is
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:10
			making you anxious,
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			and that anxiety is making you unable to
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:13
			what?
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:17
			Speak. Speak. Speak. It's I can't do it.
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19
			So these things are related to each other.
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			Right? They're related to each other. And now
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			you're learning, where does confidence come from?
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			At the end of Quran week in Melbourne,
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			our beloved Sheikh Bilal Asad came to visit
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:38
			Ustad Nur Rahman where together they recorded a
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			deeply insightful podcast episode together.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			Thereafter, Sheikh Bilal invited Ustad Nur Rahman to
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			give a talk for the students at the
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:49
			Australian International Academy in Melbourne. Here's what Ustad
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			shared with his students on that day. He
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			was just walking around,
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:53
			and
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			he was he was really nervous about what
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			had happened. He hadn't told anybody yet. And
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			he saw the same Israelite, you know, the
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			one who was getting beat up.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			He saw him in some corner
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			getting beat up again
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08
			by somebody else.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:11
			And then Musa realized something. Man, this guy,
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			he's shady.
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:15
			He's a crook.
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:17
			He's a thief. And that's why he keeps
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			getting in trouble with
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			the police.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			Right? And
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			this time, the guy, you know, and he
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25
			he saw the same person,
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27
			and
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			he's like, you know what? No. I'm gonna
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			let the police teach you a lesson this
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			time. I'm not getting involved. I got in
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			enough trouble the last day already.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			So he doesn't wanna help him this time.
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:38
			And
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			this guy is getting a beating, beating, beating,
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			and he the the police was beating him
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			so much, he was gonna kill him.
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46
			Right? So now Musa, alayhis salam, thinking is
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			thinking to himself, this this is a no
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			good person, but that doesn't mean he deserves
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:50
			to die.
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:52
			So I should maybe do something.
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			So Allah says,
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			Then finally, when he decided, this time he's
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			not gonna throw any punches, Allah says,
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			which means he's just gonna go
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			grab the cup
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			to keep him from throwing more punches. That's
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:14
			all he's that's his intention this time. Right?
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			So he gets up, and he's trying to
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:19
			walk slowly towards the police officer to try
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:20
			to stop him.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			But the guy that was taking a beating,
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			you guys know ground and pound? You guys
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			know anything about that? Okay. So he's getting
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:29
			grounded and pounded, and he sees Musa walking
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:29
			this way.
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			He's con the the the criminal is confused.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			He's like, is he coming to help me
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			or is he mad about yesterday because I
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			made him kill a cop and he's trying
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			to join the cop and join in on
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:41
			the beat down?
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:43
			And if he is,
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			I can handle a lot of punches from
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			this police officer.
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			But if that man throws a punch, what
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:49
			happens?
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:51
			I'm gonna die.
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			So this guy who's getting beat is like,
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:55
			I gotta save myself.
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			Oh, I know.
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			So he starts screaming out.
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:02
			He goes,
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			Oh, so you wanna kill me like you
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:09
			killed somebody yesterday?
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:12
			So he called out because he was the
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			only witness. Remember?
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			So now all of a sudden, in front
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			of a crowd, there was a bunch of
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			people out there on the streets, and he
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			called out, you're the one who killed the
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:21
			cop.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			And he did this because he was trying
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:23
			to
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:25
			save himself.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			One of the things you might learn from
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:30
			this is, yeah, Muslim should help others. We
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			should. But you should be careful who you
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			associate with, and what kind of help you
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:34
			give.
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:36
			Because the kind of help you give
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			might end up getting you in trouble.
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			And depending on the kind of person you
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:42
			help and the kind of help you give,
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			they might not be so loyal to you.
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			They might turn on you the next day
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			and throw you under the bus. So that's
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:50
			what he did to Musa alaihi wa sama,
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:51
			so he escapes.
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			Right now, he's trying to get away from
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:54
			Egypt,
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			and he doesn't know where to go. He
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			has no idea.
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			But somehow, he escaped And and by the
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02
			way, there's another interesting part of the story.
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			Somebody helped him escape.
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			Somebody helped Musa alaihis salaam escape because he
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			didn't know where to go, and he was
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:09
			hiding, and all the cops are looking for
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			him. Now, this is an important piece of
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:12
			the story.
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			Who was loved
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:15
			by
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:17
			or who
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			loved Musa alaihis salam a lot?
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			Firon. Firon. And who didn't like him? Remember?
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:27
			The cops didn't like him. The Egyptians didn't
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			like him. So all of a sudden, he's
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:31
			killed one of the cops. So who really
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:32
			wants to kill him right now?
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			The cops wanna kill him. But usually, if
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37
			the cops are looking for a criminal,
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			they arrest the criminal and they bring the
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			criminal to court, then the criminal has to
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44
			stand in front of a judge, and the
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:45
			judge looks at the case and then he
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:48
			decides. The only problem with that is when
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:51
			they arrest Musa and they bring him to
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53
			to court, who's gonna be the judge?
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			No. Firal's gonna be the judge. And Firal's
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:58
			gonna say, okay. Yeah. No more punches for
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			you. Okay? Now go to your room and
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			think about what you did. In other words,
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			he's not gonna get in that much trouble.
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:04
			Why? Because Erdogan loves him too much. Right?
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			And the cops know that. They know that
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:10
			if we give him if we arrest him
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:11
			and take him back to court, he's just
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			gonna get away with it.
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:14
			But the cops come up with a better
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:15
			idea.
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			They're like they had a see the cops
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:19
			had a secret meeting among themselves.
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			And they have this meeting, it's called in
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:23
			Arabic.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			They have a meeting among themselves, the police
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:27
			is like, Listen.
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:30
			Officially, we're supposed to find him and arrest
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:30
			him.
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:32
			But unofficially,
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:35
			if we find him, we're gonna
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			kill him, and then we'll make it look
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			like an accident. And then we'll come back
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:41
			to pharaoh and said,
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:43
			I don't know. He just ran off the
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			top of a building. Don't know what happened
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:45
			there.
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:47
			I don't know. He ran into a spear.
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:51
			You must have been slippery that day. Lots
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:52
			of banana peels on the street.
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:53
			Right? So
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:56
			that's that's what we're gonna do. We're gonna
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:58
			make it look like it was an accident.
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00
			So this was their they didn't announce this
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02
			plan. This plan was secret.
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:05
			Now one of the police officers, one of
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:07
			the police chiefs that was in that secret
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:08
			meeting
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:12
			had his own secret. He was secretly Musa's
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:13
			best friend.
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15
			He was so he's in the meeting where
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17
			they're discussing that they're gonna kill Musa,
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20
			and now he knows that the cops are
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:23
			not gonna arrest Musa. They're gonna shoot first,
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:25
			ask questions later. That's what they're gonna do.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:27
			So now he's in that meeting, and he
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:30
			knows because it's his best friend, he kind
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32
			of knows where Musa would be hiding
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			because they know they know each other. So
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:36
			when Musa alaihis salam is hiding in the
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:38
			city because everybody's looking for him,
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			his friend somehow finds him
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44
			and says, Hey, hey, hey. No, no, no.
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			I'm here to I'm I'm I mean well
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:47
			for you. I'm not here to arrest you,
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49
			calm down. Because he's obviously his friend's wearing
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:49
			uniform.
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:53
			Right? So he tells him, I'm I'm I
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:54
			mean well for you. No. No. No. I'm
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			not here to arrest you, but listen.
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			Like, these police chiefs have made a secret
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:04
			meeting and they've made a plan, they're gonna
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:05
			kill you. Fafroj,
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			you have no choice but to leave Egypt.
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			You have no choice but to leave Egypt.
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:13
			Right? So now, Musa alaihi wasalam has to
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:14
			escape
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16
			Egypt. I don't know if you guys have
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			ever You guys play video games? I know,
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			I play old people video games like assassins
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:21
			creed. I don't know if you ever in
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:22
			assassins creed?
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			Okay. So, you know, in games like assassins
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			creed, you have to you have to hide
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			and people can spot you, and the the
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:30
			radar keeps going up and up, and if
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			it turns red that means you've been spotted.
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:35
			But you have to move carefully and be
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:37
			incognito so you don't get spotted, and you
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39
			can escape and get to where you need
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:40
			to go. Right? That's what happens in some
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42
			games. So you have to be covert,
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:44
			you know, hidden operation.
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:46
			The word for that in Arabic
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:50
			is means watch every step, kinda move carefully.
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:52
			Oh, there's a cup over there. Just turn
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54
			your face. Just move your head down a
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:56
			little bit. You know,
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58
			jump into a stack of hay or something.
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:00
			I don't know. Right? Allah says,
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:04
			Allah says, Musa alaihi sallam then left
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:05
			from
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:07
			this place, from Egypt,
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:10
			full of fear and watching every step. Like
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			he's just really carefully trying to escape
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:14
			and get to where he needs to go.
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			But once he escapes Egypt, which was, you
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:19
			know, the capital, the area, it was this
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			big city. Once you get out, it's the
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:21
			desert.
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24
			So he's now out in the desert.
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:26
			Did he pack for this journey?
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:28
			What do you think?
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:30
			No. He didn't pack for this journey. Was
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:32
			he prepared for a journey through the desert?
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35
			No. Okay. Now here's the other thing about
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:35
			the desert.
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:38
			Are there clear roads in the desert so
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40
			you know exactly where to go?
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43
			No. You have no idea where to go.
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			In fact, if you walk into the desert,
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:47
			it could be that even if you if
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49
			you turn just a you know, you're not
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			walking in a perfectly straight line, it's slightly
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:54
			bent. Your walk is slightly bent. You might
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:55
			end up making a giant circle and not
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:56
			even know.
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:59
			You wouldn't even know. And if you were
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:01
			supposed to head this way, imagine from here
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:02
			all the way to the end there. If
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:05
			somebody turned just one degree off,
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:08
			right, 2 hours later, they end up in
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:10
			a completely different area. You know, in geometry,
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:12
			when a line is slightly at a different
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:14
			angle, it keeps getting distant and distant and
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:17
			more distant from the original point. Right? So
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:19
			he's If he makes even one little bit
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:21
			of a slight turn, he might end up
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:23
			in the middle of nowhere, completely dehydrated,
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:26
			you know, and and just die of, you
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:28
			know, of the cold or the extreme heat
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:29
			in the middle of the desert. That will
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:31
			be the end of him. So he doesn't
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:34
			know where to go. And he's imagine like
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:36
			this, he's just standing there kind of looking
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:37
			around, looking around.
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:38
			Now imagine,
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:41
			a 100 kilometers from there, 500 kilometers from
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:44
			there. So really long distance from there, there's
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46
			a place that can say there's water, or
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:48
			there's a place where he could be safe.
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:50
			Can he tell which way that is?
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:53
			No. You would kinda need a GPS. Right?
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			Like a GPS could tell you, okay, you're
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:58
			off, you're going straight, this many meters, this
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:01
			many kilometers. It it kinda guides you. Allah
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:03
			says something amazing in the Quran. Allah says,
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:04
			(QS. Al Mujadil
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:05
			Qa'amadian)
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:08
			The He's facing He's turning his face in
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10
			all these kinds of directions but when he
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:13
			turned his face in the exact direction of
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:14
			a city called Madyan,
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:17
			then he asked Allah, hopefully Allah will guide
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:19
			me to the straight way. And he starts
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:21
			walk Allah put a feeling in him, this
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:22
			is the way you gotta go.
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:24
			And he starts walking.
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:27
			And he ends up actually by some water.
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:30
			Right? So that's how Allah guided him out
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:31
			of that situation.
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34
			Now, I wanted to share a little bit
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:36
			of that part of the story with you.
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:39
			Then there's another part of the story I
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:40
			wanted to share with you.
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:42
			And that part of the story
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44
			has to do with when he after he
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:45
			got married,
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:47
			and
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:50
			he forgot all about Egypt. He was really
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:52
			happy that he escaped Egypt. And he knows
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:55
			something about Egypt. The moment he goes back,
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:56
			what's gonna happen?
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:59
			They're gonna kill him. But now he's okay.
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:01
			He's got a wife, he's got a new
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:02
			life, he's got kids, he's
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:05
			fine. He's he's got a new life and
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:06
			he doesn't have to worry about going back
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:06
			anymore.
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09
			And one day he was traveling with his
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:10
			family and it so happens
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:12
			then they got a little bit lost.
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:16
			And it got night time. So it's getting
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:16
			really dark.
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:20
			And so he's calming his family down and
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:22
			he sees up on top of a hill,
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:23
			he can see a fire.
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:26
			And he tells his family, I think there's
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:28
			a fire up there. They couldn't see it.
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:29
			He could see it.
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:31
			So he's like, You guys wait here. I'm
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33
			gonna go see if I can get some
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:35
			because we couldn't they couldn't start a fire.
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:37
			Let me see if I can borrow some
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:38
			fire from them, and we can start a
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:40
			fire of our own. And maybe those people
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:42
			know where the nearest town is. Right? So
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:45
			maybe I'll find some guidance there, some directions
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:46
			there.
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:50
			Maybe I'll find some guidance there. Or
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:52
			so you can get some fire too. So
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54
			you guys just wait here. Now he's climbing
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:56
			up the mountain. Has he been on this
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:57
			mountain before?
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:59
			No. He's never been there before. Does he
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:01
			know who's gonna meet up there? No.
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:03
			So obviously, he's expecting it's gonna be just
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:04
			a bunch of strangers,
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:08
			right? Or some people sitting around the fire.
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:09
			As he approaches,
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:12
			he hears the following words.
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:15
			What does mean?
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:17
			Musa.
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:19
			That's what it means. I don't translate o.
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			I just say Musa.
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:24
			Now you're going up a mountain you've never
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:24
			been before
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:28
			in a place you've never people you've never
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:29
			met before, and all of a sudden you
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:30
			hear what?
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:32
			Your name. Your own name.
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:34
			What is going on?
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:39
			I'm your master. Take off your shoes.
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:41
			That's what he hears.
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:43
			And now he's having a conversation with Allah.
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:46
			Right? Now, I will give you a little
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:46
			bit of homework.
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50
			The part where he escapes,
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:52
			the part that I showed you where he
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:53
			escapes,
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:56
			that's in Suratul I'll see if you remember
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:58
			that later. What did I just say? That's
		
00:12:58 --> 00:12:59
			in what?
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:01
			Suratul That's number 28.
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:03
			Okay?
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:06
			The part where he has a long
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:09
			conversation with Allah. So that conversation is in
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:11
			different places, but where he has a really
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:13
			long conversation with Allah,
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:15
			for the first time,
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:17
			that part is in Surat Taha,
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:19
			Surah number 20.
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:21
			Let me see if you remember.
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:23
			The part where he escapes
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:25
			Egypt is in what surah?
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:29
			Al Fassas. What number was that? 28. Oh,
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:32
			28. The part where he has a conversation
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:34
			with Allah, where is that? That's
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:37
			taha, surah number 20.
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:40
			But then there's another and different different surahs
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:43
			kind of focus on different parts of the
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:43
			episode.
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:46
			Okay? But there's another this last part of
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:47
			the episode that I wanna share with you
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:49
			about is one of my favorite parts.
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52
			Is when he okay. So he's finally talking
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:53
			to Allah.
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:56
			It's it's an amazing moment in his life,
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:59
			and he's really grateful to Allah because Allah
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:00
			is the one who helped him escape,
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:03
			what? Egypt. Egypt.
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:05
			And now I'll tell you something from Surat
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:06
			Ashu
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:08
			Ara. Surat Ashu Ara is surah number 26.
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:11
			Okay? So this is the part of the
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:13
			conversation between him
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:14
			and Allah
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:16
			that is in surah number 26.
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:18
			And that's that's all I'll talk to you
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:20
			about today. Just this small piece.
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:23
			He is so happy that Allah had saved
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:25
			him, and Allah says to him in surah
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:25
			number 26,
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:30
			go to the wrongdoing people.
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:33
			Guys, sorry for the interruption in the middle
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:35
			of this lecture. Just before you continue, I
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:37
			wanna let you know and encourage you that
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:39
			I want you to sign up for baynatv.com
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:41
			and help others sign up or even sponsor
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:42
			students for baynatv.com
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:46
			so we can create worldwide communities of students
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:47
			that are studying the meanings and the benefit
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:49
			and the wisdom of the Quran,
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:50
			and are
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:52
			spreading that in their own circles. Thanks so
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:52
			much.
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:55
			Allah is giving him a instruction.
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:58
			Go to the wrongdoing people.
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:01
			And Musa alaihis salam might be thinking,
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:04
			I wonder which wrongdoing people he wants me
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:06
			to go to because it definitely won't be
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:07
			which ones?
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:10
			Egypt. Egypt. Because obviously, they're the ones that
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:11
			are gonna kill me. So there must be
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:13
			some other wrongdoing people you want me to
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:15
			go talk to. And Allah clarifies in the
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:16
			next ayah,
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:19
			the people of pharaoh,
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:21
			I want you to go back.
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:25
			Aren't they gonna be aren't they gonna wanna
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:26
			protect themselves?
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:28
			Shouldn't they be protecting themselves?
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:31
			Musa alaihi wasalam's thinking, wait. I thought I
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:32
			was getting away because
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:34
			I was protecting myself.
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:36
			And Allah is saying, you need to go
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:38
			back because those people should be worried that
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:39
			they're not protecting
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:42
			themselves. It's like Allah is saying to him,
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:44
			you're not the one who needs protection.
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:47
			They're the ones in danger. They're the ones
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:49
			who need protection. Because you have Allah on
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:51
			your side, you you they may you may
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:53
			have the government of Egypt against you, but
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:55
			they have the government of Allah against them.
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:58
			So they're the ones in trouble, and you
		
00:15:58 --> 00:15:59
			need to let them know how much trouble
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:00
			they're in.
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:03
			K? So he says, go and talk to
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:05
			these people. Now Musa alaihi wasalam immediately thinking,
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:07
			oh, that's gonna be tough.
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:10
			What do you know about prophets? Do you
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:11
			know when Allah tells them to do something,
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:13
			what do they do? They do it. They
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:15
			do it. Very good. You all know that.
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17
			Right? Like Ibrahim alayhi salam, Allah says about
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:18
			him,
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:22
			When Allah said to him, surrender, he
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:25
			surrender. He told him slaughter your son, slaughter
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:27
			your son. Jump into a fire, jump into
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:28
			a fire. Take your family in the middle
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:30
			of a desert, take your family in the
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:31
			middle of a desert. No questions asked.
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:34
			When Allah told Musa alaihi salaam, go.
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:36
			Go back to pharaoh. What do we expect
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:38
			Musa alaihi salaam to say? Go to the
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:41
			Okay. So may Allah wa ta'ala. Okay. I
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:43
			hear and I obey. I'm going. That's not
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:44
			what he says.
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:46
			That's not what he says at all. In
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:49
			fact, this is this is your next bit
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:50
			of an assignment but before I do I
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:52
			forgot all about the surahs.
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:55
			When he escaped Egypt that was
		
00:16:58 --> 00:16:59
			Al Imran. Very good.
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:03
			When he had a long conversation with Allah,
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:05
			that was highlighted in
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:08
			Baha. And the conversation we're learning about now
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:09
			is in
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:12
			What? Who? What?
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:14
			Did you just make up a surah? What
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:15
			did you just say?
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:17
			Ladies? Ladies?
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:20
			You can speak too, you know. I believe
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:21
			you have mouths also, you use them a
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:22
			lot with each other.
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:26
			Let's go. Which surah we're talking about right
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:27
			now?
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:30
			Very good. Okay. So, now,
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:32
			listen listen.
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:34
			So,
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:37
			Allah tells him go back to pharaoh.
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:40
			Musa alaihis salam is gonna say 5 things.
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:42
			He's not gonna say one thing.
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:44
			He's gonna say 5 things.
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:47
			And none of those 5 things are, yes.
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:49
			Here I go, my rub.
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:52
			I obey. It's not that. It's 5 things.
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:53
			And I want you to know these 5
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:54
			things.
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:55
			Number 1,
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:00
			I'm really scared that they're gonna call me
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:01
			a liar.
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:04
			Number 1, I'm scared they will call me
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:05
			a? Liar.
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:06
			Number 2,
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:10
			When they call me a liar, I'm gonna
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:13
			get anxiety. My chest becomes tight which basically
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:14
			means I'm gonna get anxiety.
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:17
			So number 1, they'll call me a liar.
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:19
			Number 2, I'll get? Anxiety. Anxiety.
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:21
			Number 3,
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:25
			I won't be able to speak because when
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:27
			I get anxious, I'm not able to speak.
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:29
			So what was number 1?
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:34
			They'll call me a liar. Number 2,
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:36
			I'll get anxiety. Number 3,
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:39
			I won't be able to speak. Faarsil
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:40
			ilahaaroon,
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:42
			I have an idea.
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:44
			Why don't you give this mission to haroon
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:45
			instead?
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:48
			Because I'm not very good at it because
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:50
			when they call me a liar, I'll get
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:52
			anxiety, and I won't be able to speak
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:52
			properly.
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:55
			So I my brother's pretty good at speaking.
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:57
			Could you give this to Harun?
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:01
			And that was how many things now?
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:04
			4. Here's item number 5, the most interesting.
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:06
			Oh, and by the way, they have a
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:08
			crime on record against me and I'm afraid
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:09
			they'll kill me.
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:10
			What's he talking about?
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:13
			The police and the whole thing that happened,
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:15
			right? 5 things. Let's see if you can
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:17
			remember these 5 things. What was number 1?
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:19
			Show of hands now. Let's see. Ladies, ladies,
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:19
			ladies.
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:20
			Yes.
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:25
			He couldn't speak? No, that was number 2.
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:27
			I need number 1 all the way in
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:28
			the back.
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:31
			Liar. No. Don't call me a liar.
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:35
			I say, hey. And you're like, liar?
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:40
			Okay fine, they'll call me a liar. Number
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:40
			2,
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:42
			gentlemen, yes sir.
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:46
			He's gonna have anxiety.
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:47
			Number 3.
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:49
			Number 3. Number 3, number 3.
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:50
			Yes?
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:53
			He won't be able to talk.
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:54
			Number 4.
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:58
			You're just popping out of your chair, the
		
00:19:58 --> 00:20:00
			temperature of your seat just increased. Yes.
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:02
			Yes.
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:06
			Yes. What number was it? Did you just
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:08
			ask your friend what number it was?
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:10
			Okay. Tell me.
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:17
			Now
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:20
			I have anxiety.
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:23
			We're gonna have to start over because that
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:24
			messed up the order.
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:26
			What what call it out. Everybody, call it
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:28
			out. What was number 1?
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:29
			Liar.
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:31
			Liar. Yes. Number 2.
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:33
			Liar. Number 3.
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:34
			Aditiya.
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:36
			Speechless. Speechless.
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:39
			Speechless. Unlike you. Okay.
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:41
			And number 4,
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:43
			ladies, your turn. Let's see.
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:47
			No. You guys no. Sorry. Sorry. No. Ladies,
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:48
			number 4.
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:50
			Show of hands.
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:53
			Show of hands. Yes.
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:54
			Send.
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:57
			Tell Harun to go, please.
		
00:20:58 --> 00:20:59
			Number 5.
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:03
			You're killing me. You're killing me here. I'm
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:05
			gonna kill you. Yes.
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:09
			Kill You're gonna kill me. Very good. Okay,
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:10
			now listen, listen, listen.
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:14
			The first the first
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:16
			thing wasn't,
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:17
			They will kill me.
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:19
			What was the first thing?
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:23
			My question is, isn't it weird
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:26
			that he should be afraid of being killed
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:29
			but his number one fear is not that
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:31
			he will be killed, his number one fear
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:32
			is what?
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:34
			Lies. That they're gonna call him a lie.
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:36
			You know what that means? He's afraid of
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:37
			being humiliated.
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:40
			Guys, listen to this carefully. He's afraid of
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:41
			what?
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:42
			Being humiliated.
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:44
			Like many of you,
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:47
			You're afraid of being humiliated.
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:49
			You're afraid of being made fun of by
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:51
			your friends in school or not that much
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:53
			friends. You're afraid of somebody making fun of
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:55
			the shoes you're wearing or the way you're
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:57
			dressed or your hair or your hijab or
		
00:21:57 --> 00:22:00
			your bag your backpack or your height or
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:02
			how fat you are, or how skinny you
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:04
			are, or how short you are, or how
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:06
			how weird you are, how your glasses are
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:07
			ugly,
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:07
			listen.
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:10
			You are in fact afraid a lot of
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:13
			times. Or the teacher in class asks you
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:15
			a question, and you're thinking, I should try
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:17
			to give the answer, but if I give
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:19
			the wrong answer, then everybody else is gonna
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:21
			laugh at me, or that really smart kid
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:23
			in class that's so obnoxious is gonna look
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:24
			at me and say,
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:28
			And you're afraid of that humiliation
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:30
			so you don't say anything.
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:35
			Right? So being afraid of the comments of
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:38
			other people, being afraid of being bullied, being
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:41
			afraid of being called names is so huge,
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:43
			it actually makes humans different from animals.
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:46
			A cockroach doesn't care if you use bad
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:48
			words for the cockroach and say, You're such
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:50
			a liar. You're so filthy. You're disgusting.
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:53
			You cockroach. Like it won't it won't be
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:54
			insulted.
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:57
			You know? You you could you could yell
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:58
			at a bird. You can you can, you
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:00
			know, have a have a mean conversation with
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:02
			a snake. You're such a snake. Like you
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:03
			could you could do that.
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:06
			It won't be but human beings, we're different.
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:08
			If people say mean things to us, it
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:10
			actually hurts us a lot.
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:14
			People can be perfectly healthy,
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:16
			adults can be perfectly healthy, and they go
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:19
			to work, and somebody disrespects them at work,
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:21
			and they lose their appetite, they feel sick,
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:23
			they don't wanna go back to work, they
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:25
			completely collapse. Why? Because of the words of
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:26
			other people.
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:29
			Human beings are different unlike any other species
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:31
			because Allah didn't just make us
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:36
			creatures that need food, water, drink, shelter, protection.
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:38
			Not just that, we need dignity too.
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:41
			We need dignity too. And Musa Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:43
			is more scared to lose his dignity
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:45
			than he is to lose his life.
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:48
			You know? This is actually pretty serious in
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:50
			the Quran because, you know, Mariam, when she
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:52
			had a baby you guys know the story?
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:54
			You know, when she had a baby, she
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:55
			was so scared
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:56
			to go back
		
00:23:57 --> 00:23:59
			because people were gonna say mean things to
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:00
			her because of her baby
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:02
			that she told the Angel,
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:06
			If only I could be dead before this
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:09
			happens. Like she was so scared of humiliation,
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:12
			death became an easier solution in her mind
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:14
			than even humiliation.
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:16
			The reason I'm telling you this is Allah
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:17
			has told us in this religion
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:19
			that respect,
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:21
			giving respect
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:23
			is actually one of the most important rights
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:26
			that a person has over you, and is
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:28
			one of the most important rights you have
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:30
			for yourself.
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:33
			And there are many places in the Quran
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:34
			and in the sunnah of the prophet sallallahu
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:36
			alaihi wa sallam where you kind of learn
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:39
			that actually this is just as important
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:41
			and just as bigger crime
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:44
			as even taking a life itself because life
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:45
			is nothing without dignity.
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:48
			Life is nothing without dignity.
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:50
			In a in a famous hadith of the
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:52
			Prophet I'll summarize it for you. He was
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:54
			talking he loved the Kaaba so much.
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:57
			He was talking to the Kaaba and telling
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			the Kaaba that the dignity of a believer
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:02
			is more important to Allah than even your
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:04
			dignity. Now remember how much respect we show
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:06
			to the Kaaba. Isn't it?
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:08
			Nobody goes to the Umrah or Hajj and
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:11
			is ever going to even imagine disrespecting the
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:12
			house of Allah.
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:15
			Right? You're in a mode of absolute in
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:17
			awe and respect of Allah's house. And this
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:19
			is the kind of thing that Allah Allah's
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:21
			prophet taught us. If you have that much
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:23
			respect for the Kaaba, that's how much respect
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:25
			you should have for the dignity
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:27
			of your friend or the kid that you
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:29
			pick on or the friend that's outside your
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:31
			friend's circle. You guys have your own circles
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:33
			and somebody's outside of that circle, and then
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:35
			it's easy to pick on them or to
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:37
			make fun of them. Right? But their dignity
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:38
			is sacred.
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:40
			And it's kind of ironic that you can
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:43
			make fun of someone and humiliate someone and
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:45
			embarrass someone, and then salah time comes and
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:47
			you're making sajdah in the direction of the
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:49
			Kaaba. You're showing respect to the Kaaba,
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:51
			no respect to the dignity that Allah also
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:52
			made sacred.
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:55
			Right? That's sacred too. And Musa alaihi salaam
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:57
			considers his own dignity so sacred
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:00
			that losing that is more terrifying to him
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:02
			than even losing his own
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:05
			life. That's what he tells Allah. I'm really
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:07
			scared of being humiliated. I'm really scared that
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:08
			they're gonna call me a lie. He didn't
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:09
			just say,
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:10
			He said,
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:12
			No.
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:14
			No. No.
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:18
			I'm scared that they're gonna call me a
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:20
			liar. He was terrified of this.
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:22
			But then when people say bad things to
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:25
			you, the next thing you guys remember, number
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:25
			2 was,
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:30
			anxiety. Well, what does that mean? When you
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:32
			you could be really confident, but if somebody
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:35
			says mean things, and somebody accuses you, and
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:38
			somebody humiliates you, then you can lose your
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:40
			confidence and you won't be able to speak.
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:42
			Right? And some people are really good at
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:43
			making you upset.
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:46
			And like, you know, there there are people
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:48
			that are very manipulative in conversation.
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:50
			So if I wanted to have a conversation
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:52
			with my older brother or older sister or
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:54
			something or younger sister, and say, Hey,
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:57
			did you did you take my
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:59
			pen from here? What did you say?
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:01
			Say it again.
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:04
			And when you when you start getting like
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:05
			that, when you get upset like that, the
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:06
			other person gets what?
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:09
			They get nervous. They get anxious.
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:11
			They forget that what what they were gonna
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:13
			say. What happens when you get anxiety?
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:16
			You can't remember what you had to say.
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:19
			If some some of you are very confident,
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:21
			Masha Allah. Others of you get very anxious.
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:22
			And if I asked you to come and
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:24
			give a speech right now,
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:25
			and I told you a subject, you'll be
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:25
			like,
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:29
			something about Islam.
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:35
			And you know why you get so nervous?
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:37
			The first thing you have is a fear
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:39
			that you'll say something that everybody will laugh
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:40
			at.
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:42
			This is your fear. And that fear is
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:43
			making you anxious,
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:46
			and that anxiety is making you unable to
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:47
			what?
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:48
			Speak.
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:51
			It's I can't do it.
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:53
			So these things are related to each other,
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:55
			right? They're related to each other, and now
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:58
			you're learning where does confidence come from.
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:00
			Confidence comes from you stop being afraid of
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:02
			the opinions of people.
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:03
			That's where it comes from.
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:06
			And then you can just speak, then you
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:07
			can just say what's on your mind.
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:10
			You're not trying to impress people, and you're
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:12
			not afraid of the humiliation coming from people.
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:14
			You can just express yourself.
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:15
			Hey.
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:18
			What else did he say to Allah? 3
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:19
			things. Okay. So there's the,
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:22
			I'm afraid they're gonna humiliate me, call me
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:24
			a liar, I'll get anxiety, I won't be
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:26
			able to speak, and therefore I'm not good
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:27
			enough for this.
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:30
			Who should be given this mission? Harun. Harun
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:32
			should be given this mission. And finally,
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:35
			now he's actually afraid. By the way, why
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:36
			is he putting Harun first in his life
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:39
			later? Because to him, the mission Allah gave
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:41
			him is more important, his life is less
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:41
			important.
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:43
			So before
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:46
			I'm afraid that I'll be killed, I'm more
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:49
			afraid that I don't provide a solution for
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:51
			this instruction that Allah gave.
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:53
			So He says, Please give this mission to
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:54
			haroon.
		
00:28:55 --> 00:28:56
			Now, Allah is going to listen to all
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:59
			5 of those things, and Allah is going
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:01
			to respond to him. And the way Allah
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:03
			responds is pretty amazing. Allah says 2 words.
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:05
			In the Arabic, it's 2 words, but they
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:06
			have a whole world in them.
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:11
			He said, kalla fadhaba. Kalah means not at
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:11
			all.
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:14
			I'll say that again. Kalah means what? No.
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:16
			Not at all. And then He said, both
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:17
			of you go.
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:21
			Not at all, both of you go. Let's
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:23
			understand that. His fear number 1 was, they
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:25
			will call Me a liar.
		
00:29:25 --> 00:29:27
			Allah says, not at all. Don't worry about
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:28
			it.
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:29
			I'll get anxiety.
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:30
			Allah says,
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:33
			not at all. Don't worry about it.
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:36
			I won't be able to speak. Allah says,
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:39
			Not at all. Don't worry about it.
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:41
			Send my brother, please.
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:44
			Allah says, Both of you go.
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:47
			They're gonna kill me. Not at all. Don't
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:48
			worry about it.
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:52
			2 words, it's all done.
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:55
			And then he says, And you can both
		
00:29:55 --> 00:29:57
			go, and I'll also send some miracles with
		
00:29:57 --> 00:29:58
			you.
		
00:29:58 --> 00:29:59
			Some special stuff with you. You know the
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:01
			the some of the special stuff that was
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:01
			sent?
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:03
			Like what?
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:08
			The ayat.
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:10
			The stick
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:14
			that turned into Snake. A snake, and the
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:15
			hand that turned
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:17
			White. White. Now here's the thing. I'm gonna
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:18
			leave you with this, but it's something to
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:21
			think about for you. When Musa alaihis salam
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:22
			finally went back,
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:24
			when he finally went back,
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:27
			and he's in front of Firaun eventually, which
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:28
			is a pretty epic story, how did he
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:30
			even make it back? Right? But when he
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:32
			finally standing in front of the king
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:34
			and he's about to have this conversation with
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:36
			him, what did he have in his hand?
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:38
			Sticks on a stick. He had a stick.
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:42
			One thing that could have happened is he
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:43
			could have just gone there
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:45
			and he could have just dropped the stick
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:46
			in the very beginning
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:48
			like a mic drop.
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:50
			And what would the stick have done?
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:53
			It would've turned into a snake. It would've
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:54
			gone up to the pharaoh and
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:56
			problem solved.
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:00
			You know, if if the pharaoh is the
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:00
			problem
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:03
			and Allah has given him a giant snake
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:05
			that cannot be overcome,
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:07
			just drop the snake,
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:10
			problem solved. Is that what happens?
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:13
			No. So that's something to think about, why
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:15
			didn't that happen? But anyway, I've shared enough
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:17
			of that story with you guys today. InshaAllah.
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:19
			I hope you guys enjoyed yourselves, You learned
		
00:31:19 --> 00:31:20
			something inshallah.
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:23
			Okay?
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:27
			Assalamu
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:33
			alaikum, everyone. There are almost 50,000 students around
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:35
			the world that are interested on top of
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:37
			the students we have in studying the Quran
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:39
			and its meanings and being able to learn
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:40
			that and share that with family and friends,
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:42
			and they need sponsorships, which is not very
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:45
			expensive. So if you can help sponsor students
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:47
			on Bayinah TV, please do so and visit
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:49
			our sponsorship page. I appreciate it so much.
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:50
			And pray that Allah gives our mission success,
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:52
			and we're able to share the meanings of
		
00:31:52 --> 00:31:54
			the Quran and the beauty of it the
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:55
			world over.
