00:01:50 --> 00:02:21
			Allah azza wa jal mentions in the Quran, the stories of several nations that were destroyed, and one
of those nations was the nation of the mood. And the mood was sent the Prophet salallahu Alaihe
Salam. And there are this is one of the few Arab nations before the Prophet Muhammad was mentioned
in the Quran where the messenger the other one being shaved, and these are actually descendants of
each other art is the more ancient of them, and then the mood is descendants of the nation of art.
		
00:02:23 --> 00:03:04
			And what I wanted to talk to you about is the way in which Salahuddin surrounded Dawa to them he
tried to invite them back to Allah's Deen, he used a particular gift of Allah that Allah had given
to these people. And he used it as an inspiration or motivation for them to be grateful to Allah, a
special talent that these people had. So this is mentioned in several places in the Quran, and I'm
going to go through some of them. So first, understand what is this gift that these people had, that
they should be extra grateful for? He says, You were inheritors after you know, the people of God,
which were a great empire. And after that you people took over. And that itself is a gift from
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:45
			Allah, because once a great nation collapses, then its descendants disperse. But the fact that you
were able to, you know, gather yourselves and become yet another powerful civilization is a gift
from Allah. On top of that, about what a criminal or the taboo in Arabic or to be in this case, is
to be able to settle down wherever you want. Like if somebody decides to move into one area or the
other, if you have nowadays if you had absolute job security, and it didn't matter which city you
lived in, what state you lived in, what country you lived in, you get to pick wherever you want to
go, this is you're doing double work. And this is actually a description of gender and the Quran,
		
00:03:45 --> 00:04:23
			that believers will get to have the bow in Jannah, hopefully Yeshua, the person will get to live
wherever they want in general, okay. Free Free Range, you consider all the factors that you want,
you want the best weather, you want the best environment, you want the best air quality, you want
the best schools, you take all those things into consideration, you make the best choice for
yourself, that is the bow, Allah says that these people have to live with meaning they could they
could settle down in any kind of environment and make it the best for themselves. And how did they
do so, he says that we do not mean to Hooli help us run. But then he told LG Bala Bhutan, that you
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:59
			will take the easy manipulable parts of the soil meaning soil can be dug into soil can be you know,
you can make canals in it. And you would take the parts of the soil that's soft, and you would build
castles out of that soil. And even the mountains which are far more rigid, harder to access. You
were able to carve homes out of mountains, but then he told me energy Valley Bhutan. So the gift
that Allah is describing to these people is actually their ability to build their ability to
develop, they can take the earth and turn it into castles. They can take mountains and carve homes
out of them advanced homes and that's it
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:36
			Architecture, this is an ability that they had and enact is actually an illustration of, you know,
artistic carving. So they weren't just holes like caves, they were beautiful designed homes, that
they were carving artistically inside of mountains. Similarly, other places in the Quran Allah
mentions within he tuna mineralogy Valley Bhutan fatty fairy hymn, that you carve homes out of
mountains, and then the height of this this verb is Fabien, or the height of the sight of these
people, fighting actually means that you carve with precision, but you cut with precision. So you're
really, really good at what you do you have exact measurements, and you build exactly the kind of
		
00:05:36 --> 00:06:08
			home you envision, you know, like, nowadays we have when you're building something, there's
architectural plans, and then there's research into the geology of the land, can can they can just
kind of land hold this kind of weight, you know, what kind of beams and columns are going to be
needed? What's the material? What's the weight? What's the pound per square inch kind of thing? How
much weight can this floor handle, how many floors are we going to build, this is what we consider
standard practice and construction in modern modern architecture, and cities get involved and they
check whether or not all these plans are according to city code, and all of that before you can
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:44
			build and these are ancient peoples that has an understanding of precise measurement and
architecture when they were cutting into a mountain because they would know the difference between
if we dig into this part of the mountain, the whole thing is going to collapse. And this part of the
mountain is stable like a column right they had that know how and their profits it calls upon that
know how and invokes that you're you're inspired to have the skill This is not your own. You were
given this talent from Allah and this is one of the reasons you should become grateful now. The next
step this is actually the Hotbird that this cookbook is about this next time we're in our third
		
00:06:44 --> 00:07:26
			Moodle AHA home Solea to the moon we sent their message their their brother saw on a pulmonary
medulla my dokumen Illa hinder you know this he said to them my people worship Allah there's no one
no other god or entity worthy of worship and obedience except he who are inshallah criminal or the
he brought you out from the soil from the earth, meaning were made of dirt. So he brought you out
from the earth. Was that mana comfy, huh? And this is going to be the part that's hard to translate
because there's lots of commentary on it. But he one way you can look at it as he inspired you to
build on it. One way to think about was that a lot of comfy Ha is he brought to you from the earth
		
00:07:26 --> 00:08:10
			and He inspired you to build on it was there another country her? First out fugu Matobo Alayhi So
seek his forgiveness and repent back to him in Nairobi. Kalibo Majeed, my master certainly is near
and answers prayer. He's, he responds. So in this ayah, he inspired you to build it fascinated them
of a city and people that were studying the Quran and contemplating the Quran, What is Allah mean
that he inspired these kuffaar, to build and from it, they extracted something very universal human
beings, unlike other creatures, have been given this special gift of creativity and building. We
have a builder's mindset, right, we have a creative, imaginative mindset. We are not like any other
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:46
			species on this planet, when it comes to this. Right birds, for millions of years are building a
nest the same exact way they don't say I should color coordinate the sticks. You know, Allah
created, you know, different species that survive in different habitats on this earth. And they are
not going out of their way to advance their habitat in any way. It is, what the way they're
programmed is the way they're programmed. And they do it. But human beings say yeah, you know what
this, we could make this better. This could be this could be cooler, or we can be when it comes to
food, we can make this taste better. Or these colors, I wonder if we can produce more colors or this
		
00:08:46 --> 00:09:22
			scent, I maybe it could produce a different kind of set. We have this quest for making things
better, more advanced, more beautiful, and constantly developing and developing and developing. It's
part of what Allah put inside the human being. It's manifest all around us. You know, it's not like
when human beings figured out how to engage in transportation and put a cart before a bowl, or a
cart, you know, card behind a bowl or a horse. They're like, well, now we don't need to further
advance any any no further advancements in transportation are needed. Right? Or when we first
figured out how to farm early human civilization, that there's no more need to advance anything.
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:59
			Look, in every part that human beings get involved in, there's advancement. Every part every every
venture that human beings get involved in, there's more development, more creativity, more
advancement, and this is something inspired by Allah azza wa jal himself. So some of them are
receiving these comments that I'm taking what the room are they that Allah made them capable to
build more and more and to advance more and more. What in * Okay. Fatima, Cameroon. And Allah in
fact, inspired them. How can they be like the idea comes in somebody that you know what, I think I
have a revolutionary idea. I think we can build a canal. I think we can build an underwater bridge.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:39
			I think we could do this I can I have an idea for, you know, new genetics research. And Allah is
actually describing this idea that sometimes those ideas are inspired into the minds and hearts of
human beings. And they are a form of income and they come to all human beings. One of these to learn
from this is Allah gives this gift, not just to Muslims, or, you know, to one group of people, all
human beings, any human being a Hindu can have the most revolutionary idea, and atheists could have
an idea. And they're inspired by Allah Zoja, to have these creative, remarkable ideas to build
something incredible, okay. Others went further, I'm not be remodeled the metal jewelry lady. He in
		
00:10:39 --> 00:11:22
			according to this idea, it's as if Allah commanded human beings, because it's the amount of oil can
have an expectation also. So he expected you to develop on the earth, He expected you to improve and
enhance and build further and further. Now from that notion, what I wanted to, to put before all of
you is that, you know, if someone is constantly thinking about the problems they have, right, in a
business, for example, let me give you a business example. So you can understand the point I'm
trying to make, somebody runs a business, they opened up a store, right, and the door is making
noise, or the cash register stopped working, or the fridges malfunctioning in the back, or you know,
		
00:11:22 --> 00:12:05
			the truck, or the tire went flat, or the one employee quit, or this lights gone out, you know, or
the delivery never came, or the payment didn't come through, or the taxes or Oh my God, so many
problems all all the time problem, problem problem. And when you're constantly thinking about fixing
problems, and that's all you're doing, you're never going to grow your business. Right, because all
of your energy, it's like, if you have a ship, all your energy is spent patching up the holes,
right? You can't even think about enhancing the ship or building any better, you're just keeping it
from sinking. Right. And this can become the mindset, this can actually become the mindset of people
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:42
			as a whole, as a whole. So what happens to entire nations of people, entire cultures of people, and
many Muslim cultures are affected by this, but not only with some cultures, all you want is for your
son or your daughter to get a degree so they can get a job so they can pay the bills. That's it,
let's just keep maintain, just maintain. So you can have this job, and it will have stability, that
just make sure nothing falls apart, at least. And that's a good idea. It's a good idea. But you
know, what, if everybody's inspired to become an employee, to make your boss rich, right, that's
what you're inspired to do, I want to become an accountant. So I can do accounting, count all the
		
00:12:42 --> 00:13:22
			money that those people make. Right? I want to become an engineer, so I can work for the actual
engineering firm, you know, what we're doing, we're teaching, we're developing entire generations of
young people that are learning to become bricks, but not learning to become builders. We're not
getting them to develop and take further steps. And that's one of the inspirations Allah gave us is
that we should be the ones that are thinking creatively, thinking out of the box thinking big. And
when you think big in the world of business, in the world of science and the world of
entrepreneurship, whatever field when Muslims start thinking big, it makes a different impact. And
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:24
			when a non believer starts thinking big,
		
00:13:25 --> 00:14:06
			why? Because you know, today, if you are if you're even slightly attuned to what is happening in the
world, to the kinds of corruption, the kinds of chaos, the kinds of war atrocity, you know, in crime
that takes place in the world, behind so much of it is big businesses, behind so much of the
corruption in the world, behind even the corrupt politician, or rich people that are pushing the
politician, and they're their fuel. And those rich people are rich, because they run and control
large business enterprises, right? And what happens in the world is, governments come and go,
elections come and go, presidents come and go, parties come and go, but that business stays. And the
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:43
			business only gets stronger and stronger and stronger. That's an institution. It's kind of like
behind the scenes. But it only becomes more and more powerful and more and more institutions more
and more entrenched. Why? Because they understand something about what development you can hate them
all you want. You don't have to agree with their worldview, their entire worldview is the bottom
line. How do we make more? Right and if what the human cost is for making more, what the Justice
cost is for making more they don't care, so long as they make more, so long as they hit the next the
next milestone, but when, when a believer develops the idea of what the Quranic term is, the amount
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:59
			not the modern Arabic term is the amount by the way, interestingly, the word is there might have
been a tragedy in the Arabic language nowadays in modern Arabic, the stemmata is used for
colonization, right to colonize a different country, and to rob it of its resources. And the Quran
uses this word in a completely different in a very beautiful way.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:44
			To actually from Allah Jalla Khun Amit in America and tomorrow, like he commanded you, he inspired
you, He made you builders, developers. So what has to happen? What we have to develop is big
thinking, big ideas. And you can't just have big ideas and say, I got this great idea. I've got this
million dollar idea. No, no, no, you've got to have the work ethic to back that up. You've got to
have the grit to back that up, and to put to ready yourself to exhaust yourself, if a job cost you
40 hours a week, then the if you really want to build something powerful than 100 hours a week feels
like a vacation. That's the kind of work ethic a person has to develop to really, truly build
		
00:15:44 --> 00:16:07
			something in any field, in any space. And that's the kind of mentality that is needed to bring about
real change. Why? Because when we read the Quran, sometimes we have a simplistic view, we look at
something we don't look at what's going on behind it. When Allah azza wa jal says to the believers
and futile models of Narco spend from what We have provided you the prophets mission sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam needed people to spend money
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:49
			or what needed finances, but needed finances, right? Even the hedgehog from micarta Medina needed,
what finances and those finances came from believers who were successful in business, they were able
to do something with what Allah had given them and they were able to use it for good. This is not a
this is not a TED talk about you need to become a millionaire and think about the next million
you're gonna make. That's not what this is. But the OMA when we when we look at the chaos around the
OMA, it's actually the chaos around everywhere in the world. It's not just limited to the OMA, it
actually has to do with those that have been given the inspiration, the talent to build business,
		
00:16:49 --> 00:17:28
			when they become corrupt, the world becomes corrupt. In fact, their corruption becomes the world's
corruption. And what we need to do is undo that. We need to have people inspired by Allah's word
inspired by the character of their Prophet sallallahu sallam, to own hospitals, to run entire
universities. We need them to have multi billion dollar businesses, we need that and they're not
doing it because they want to make more and more they want to be an agent of positive change. They
want to bring about they want to bring education to places that have never seen education. Some
recent times I've been talking about local Nina lot. What does Allah say abajo could name that Allah
		
00:17:28 --> 00:18:03
			gave him all kinds of resources, and what do you do with his resources? He went to places that
nobody's ever gone to. He discovered people, whether they're in Doha, Coleman, like he didn't even
expect there's going to be a home there. And there's people there. And then he goes to a place
people don't even speak a language that anybody has army recognizes, like I do know of Kahuna Cola,
they can almost kind of understand anything you say, what does that telling you, when Allah gives
you recent resources, you become an agent of global change. You start going places nobody's ever
gone before you start serving people that have never been served before. So this is the mindset that
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:44
			Allah inspired inside and what what Sonia was telling his people is that you people have been given
such a talent to build such a talent in advanced architecture is what you've been inspired with. And
you know what Allah inspired you to build let's start on our comfy, huh? So now worship Allah using
that talent, wasting your talent away, wasting your potential away, wasting away that the vision
that you may have had, because you know, when you have a big idea, if you talk to any, any people
that have been pioneers in their field, any people that have become, you know, benchmarks of
success, most of them are not anybody, you will see you'll have you'll have one thing in common all
		
00:18:44 --> 00:19:22
			around them people thought their ideas crazy. And the amount of work they're putting in is useless.
Because they had this this thing in their head, they knew it works. And they put themselves to work
and all around there were people who did not believe in their cause or in their work. And down the
road. They're like Oh, I'm so I'm so proud. I know him. You were the you and they did not let other
people's negativity others people's, you know, they're inspiring them with lack of confidence. They
didn't allow that to get through to them. They developed a thick skin. So what I what I really want
from young people around the world, especially the OMA you know, the majority of the OMA today,
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:59
			statistically is between the ages of 18 and 35 are under 35 year old 35 year olds are the majority
of the Muslim world, which means we're just an entirely young OMA almost entirely a young Oma. And
if we don't learn to think big, if we don't think about how to transform the world around us, and to
really put ourselves to work identify the talents Allah has given us. Even a prophet is conceived as
people. This is the talent Allah has inspired in you. And here you are Muslim Muslim youth saying, I
don't know what I'm good at. I'm not sure what I should do. How are you not sure have you not tried
anything? Maybe that's why you're not sure
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:10
			You haven't tried anything, you haven't done any work. You haven't done anything. And then you're
like, I'm not sure what you're you're pretty sure at saying you're not sure that's what you're good
at. So
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:54
			how about you go get a job. If you if you can't find a fancy job, go do some work, do something,
learn something, learn a skill. There's no reason a 16 year old 16 Seven year old should be sitting
at home, there's no reason to go after school, get a job, I don't care if you have to change tires,
or work at a donut shop, or a pizza place or sell shoes. I don't care, do it. You know what you'll
learn something, you'll learn how a business works, you'll learn how management works, you'll learn
what it means to respect time. And if you don't develop that work ethic at a young age, and the only
free time you have is going into the the next trophy are going to win on a video game, a digital
		
00:20:54 --> 00:21:31
			token of accomplishment, then your life will be a virtual sense of accomplishment, you'll never have
any real accomplishment in your life. Step out of your comfort zone, push yourself work. And you
nobody becomes a business person or successful in any entrepreneurial venture and hits the millions
without actually going through the grind and learning what it means to do hard work first. And
that's part of what Allah inspired you, when you have the talent to do it. You have the ability to
do it, you have the mind to do it. You're just not doing it. Because for some reason, you've
convinced yourself that sitting back and being comfortable is a good thing. Maybe you're the reason
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:32
			corruption is winning.
		
00:21:33 --> 00:22:13
			You're the reason that the world isn't changing the way it is. Because if you stood up if enough of
us stood up, if enough of you tried to bring about a change, an entire culture changes. There's one
last piece of thought that I want you to think about. We keep complaining about governments being
corrupt. We complain about politicians being corrupt. policies being corrupt, the rich and powerful
being corrupt, societies being corrupt. Family systems being corrupt, cultures being corrupt. We see
corruption everywhere. But you know what, when you start creating your own environment, when when
when a gentleman here runs his own mechanic shop, when somebody runs their own store, when somebody
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:50
			starts their own clinic, you know what they're governing it. They're governing inside of that place,
the principles of Allah's book, the principles of justice, are being applied. And as they grow, the
influence of what Allah has inspired is growing, isn't it? You're not just sitting in your living
room saying this is corrupt, and that is corrupt, and others corrupt, you created a small circle in
which there is no corruption. And as you grow, that circle is growing. It's inspiring, a larger
circle of influence where there's no corruption, instead of saying, Oh, the medical industry is
corrupt, well, then you know what, compete with the medical industry, develop a non corrupt medical
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:51
			industry?
		
00:22:52 --> 00:23:31
			Who's stopping you what's stopping you? The only thing that's stopping you and me is the limitation
we put in our heads. So develop this big thinking and remember these words that Allah has given to
sada had a salam to even talk to his people and say, what's that Mara comfy, huh? And shall I come
in and are the was the American fear I genuinely pray that we get inspired young people that take up
powerful ideas that learn that study that work hard from an early age and become models of what it
means to develop and bring about real change in the world and to bring inspirational change in the
world. Allah only knows what ideas Allah has inspired you with only you and you only you've gotten
		
00:23:31 --> 00:24:12
			them. Right because there's an income that comes from Allah to everybody about what they can do and
accomplish. So don't underestimate yourself, and let's accomplish incredible things. BarakAllahu li
Walakum feel for it picking on the fact that you can be 100 reliable Katha or salatu salam ala
