The speakers discuss the use of "AP" in Arabic to make people feel weak and bring off the idea of being less valued. They also touch on the importance of honoring family members and finding one's own success. The conversation emphasizes the need for counsel and professional counseling for young Muslims, as well as avoiding culture differences and being aware of one's work and not just trying to earn money. The speakers also mention a dream program to teach Arabic language and encourage attendees to take a semester off their current studies.

monte de la ilaha illallah wa la Medina. Mina Latina, Amina, Amina Sally heart, whatever. So we'll
talk but also the subliminal behind Amin. Today's hookah is a difficult one. But certainly an
important reminder for myself and for all of you I feel it's something that's easily taken for
granted. I'll begin with something a lot as always, it says in sort of July, when he describes the
This tells the oma in the first instruction after telling us that we are brothers to each other. in
Managua believers are nothing but brothers to one another. And we should make peace and
00:02:40 -->
00:03:15
reconciliation between ourselves the first instruction after that was Yeah, you have Latina
Amanullah is a woman calm. Those of you who believe Don't let one group of one group make fun of any
other group, one nation make fun of any other nation, one class of people, not make fun of any other
class of people calm back in the Arab times also used to be about the tribes so that people were one
tribe and they would think that their tribe is the best and they'd make fun of the other tribe.
Those of you that come from, you know, you know, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, whatever the
Pakistanis will make the you know, the boxers will make fun of the Bangladeshis, or the Punjabi will
00:03:15 -->
00:03:52
make fun of the Ordo speaking or the Moroccan might make fun of the Algerian or whatever else, you
know, this, this is one meaning of the item. But that's actually not the subject that I want to
share with you today. There are many dimensions of this making fun of another group. And so first
thing I want to do is describe something about the meaning of the word Sofia, or cicada which is the
verb used here is called como min calm. There are multiple words in Arabic to make fun or to make a
joke. But this particular word has two dimensions. One of them is you're making fun of someone
you're laughing at someone Of course, you can laugh at someone, if something is funny, something
00:03:52 -->
00:04:33
looks funny, something someone acts funny, something slips and falls or whatever, you can make fun
of those things. But this word also gives us the implications of this here, which is the act of lead
describes for when we subjugate animals, or how Allah has, how he has subjugated or overpowered the
clouds, he is humbled the clouds, what I'm trying to get at is when you make fun of someone,
assuming that they are less than you, that they are below you, that they are in somehow somehow
subordinate to you. And with that mentality, you think of someone or you make someone feel inferior.
That's also actually Coleman Coleman. In other words, one of the implications of this phrase in the
00:04:33 -->
00:05:00
Quran, this ayah is that believers should not make any group of them should not make any other group
feel like they are less feel like they are worth less than they are, you know, inferior to
themselves. that feeling again, it can come from tribe, it can come from race, but there are other
places it can come from. And so I wanted to highlight one of those places that it comes from that we
have to be watchful of particularly and I want to start actually
00:05:00 -->
00:05:03
With a Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Ma,
00:05:07 -->
00:05:07
Ma Li
00:05:11 -->
00:05:52
Mo Li, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says nobody ever eats a single bite of food that is
better than the food they eat after having earned the money for that food with their own hand. When
you earn money with your own hand, and you eat meal, whatever meal, a single bite of it even, that's
the best meal you've ever eaten. Whether that meal was three days old pizza, or it was just a piece
of old, stale potato chip or something, that's all you could afford. It doesn't matter the fact that
you earned with your own hand for that piece of food to go into your mouth, there is nothing better
you could possibly have eaten. And that to add to that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu Sallam made
00:05:52 -->
00:06:13
a statement about an example. And the example he gave was what and then maybe the other Islam the
Prophet though alayhis salaam kanaya coolamon amellia he used to eat from the work of his own hand.
If you know something about those other his Salaam he was one of the greatest rulers in the history
of humanity. Allah azzawajal he himself said imagine Naka Khalifa and fill out.
00:06:14 -->
00:06:52
a knock on effect and Phil Dowd we are making you actually find the land. From Jewish historical
accounts. his empire was so big, there was no part of the known world that was not under his
control. You can think of it as the one of the greatest rulers humanity has ever experienced, was at
a salon. As a matter of fact, even when all of the children of Adam alayhis salaam were shown to
him. all of humanity was shown to Adam alayhis salaam in the beginning, though darlin, Salaam
stockout, and he asked about Islam, a special prophet of Allah. And what is Allah's Messenger say
about this great king and ruler and prophet? He says he used to eat every meal that he ate based on
00:06:52 -->
00:07:08
the work he did with his own hand. What does the Quran describe about that without a Salaam, instead
of describing to us the expanse of his government, how he used to render his armies, how many
battles he fought, what what descriptions do we find out are they said, I'll just share one of them
with you. He says, Well,
00:07:11 -->
00:07:22
we gave out alehissalaam, a special favor that comes only from us, unless as a special favor was
given to him. And a few of those things are uniquely miraculous to him, for example, yoji Valley
00:07:24 -->
00:07:34
mountains sing along with him when he makes the praise of Allah, the mountains with sing along with
him, what played and the birds too, but then he says, What Alan Allahu Hadid. And he
00:07:36 -->
00:08:13
said, he says, No, and then we we made Iren, or metal, we made it soft for him. In other words, he
learned how to melt and mold metal. And then Allah said, and then I instructed him directly work on
the armor and make the links in the chain and make sure they're properly calculated. In other words,
a lot showed him the engineering for the kind of work he was going to do the workmanship he was
going to do with metal. Now we all have these images about delta and a certain tie together, going
up into the mountains to find the materials he's going to use. And he sees the birds there that are
singing the praises of Allah with him. And he brings those materials back. And he's burning those
00:08:13 -->
00:08:49
metals and fusing them and working on them like a, you know, an iron Smith, a worksman. These are
the kinds of people that have you think back even back in the days of a village, the lowest jobs,
they're working with metals and burning them, it smells bad, you know, people don't want to be near
them or around them. They're covered in smoke, they're covered in this black dust that comes from
the work that they do. That's the work they do all day in it is not a job you do for five minutes or
10 minutes and you're done. You spend your waking day just working, working, working, exhausting
yourself physically. This is a very labor, you know, physical labor, blue collar job, a factory job,
00:08:49 -->
00:09:27
you could say that doubt alayhis salam used to do. This is the example the Prophet gave me his
Salatu was Salam. And this is the example that Allah started with that Allah gave this person a
special favor, and he made him work like this. What I'm trying to get at is that by giving this
example the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has dignified through Allah Himself,
every job. When you are driving a taxi, when you're standing at a cash register, when you're
delivering pizzas, when you're, you know, you're working as a janitor at the airport, cleaning the
bathrooms. When you're a security guard. There may be people around you say what do you do and
00:09:27 -->
00:09:59
you're embarrassed to say that's your job. You feel like you know, you have a degree, you're an
accountant, you have an office, you're a programmer, you're a doctor, you're an engineer, or I'm
just a taxi driver. I'm just, I just work at the grocery store. I just drive a truck. You know, you
feel like you're less worthy because you do this kind of work. Allah azza wa jal honored all had all
work. And he said, there is no better meal you can eat than the one you earn with your own hand.
That's that's the wave.
00:10:00 -->
00:10:39
by which a lot of dignified it and He even gave the example of a prophet Alayhi Salaam Salaam that
used to do physical labor. Another beautiful Hadith of the Prophet sighs and I was so inspired by
this in my in the huka. In Canada, yes, Allah Allah he had enough for houfy Sabina, if there is a
person who makes efforts to provide for his parents, your parents have gotten old, they can't afford
anything for themselves, you have to do extra overtime because your regular job you have enough to
pay for yourself. But now you have to support your parents do your parents got sick or they're old,
and now you need to support them too. So now all of your extra time is going into doing more work.
00:10:39 -->
00:11:12
So when someone makes these extra efforts to support both of their parents or even one of them, then
that was the prop what is the profit call it for who if he civilly law then that is in the path of
Allah, that person is struggling in the path of Allah. That's, that's noble, before I let you know,
if this person might feel bad, I don't get to come to the machine. As often as I'd like to, I don't
get to recycle. As much as I'd like to. I used to learn so much more. I don't get to learn as much
because I'm always working now. Because I'm supporting my family. I feel like I'm giving all my time
to dounia. And I used to give so much more time to Alice Dean, the Messenger of Allah comes to you
00:11:12 -->
00:11:53
and tells you No, that is also a piece of Ebola. And then he says there are people who are so
desperate, they're buried, they work so hard, whatever work they can find they do, but they barely
make enough to survive themselves. They're barely surviving themselves hand to mouth, what you call,
what does he say about them? What in Canada is Island FC for Wolfie Sevilla. And he's making effort
only to barely suffice for himself that is also in the path of Allah. That is also dignified. This
is the beauty of our religion, Allah honors people, what we do is we look down upon them. We make
someone feel inferior I started with is a common common, don't make someone feel diminished. On one
00:11:53 -->
00:12:30
group from compared to another group, you are a bunch of friends, all of you graduated from college,
one of your friends couldn't graduate, one of your friends had financial difficulty, or his parents
business failed or whatever he dropped out of school work, work at the gas station. The rest of you
graduated, the rest of you are hanging out and talking about what jobs you're doing. And you keep
reminding him of how he's the dropout. This is like a Coleman Coleman. Even him standing at that gas
station even in pumping that gas is actually something noble and dignified by Allah. That's
something Allah azza wa jal honored him with. This is the reminder that Allah gives us when he talks
00:12:30 -->
00:12:52
about us earning our income, you know, how Allah describes earning income in the Quran. When you
have whatever job you have, whether you do business, whether you're working at an office, whether
you work at a hospital, whether you do physical labor, it doesn't matter what kind of job you do,
all of it within the realm of halaal has one name. And especially on the day of Friday, what does he
say, for either who the artist
00:12:54 -->
00:12:56
was to whom and from the law.
00:12:57 -->
00:13:39
He says, when the prayer is done, go spread out everywhere in the land go everywhere, you have to go
and pursue out of a less favor. That earning whatever earning you do, Allah describes it as a laws
favor on you. That's a lost favor on you. And when the law favor someone, he has honored them. There
is no dishonor when someone has favored Allah, there cannot be those two things cannot exist
coexist. And so let's bring this concept closer to home. This notion that for some reason, because
you have a better job than somebody else, and by the way, we don't just do this among strangers. We
do this within our families. There's a young man that says I don't I don't want to be a doctor, I
00:13:39 -->
00:14:17
want to be a pharmacist and his family's like you're a loser. You know, you you could have been
something you're just gonna be a pharmacist. Yeah, it's better hours, I get to do other things that
I meant to do with my life. I don't know if I want to spend another five years or six years
continuing education, etc, etc. So I've decided I want to be a pharmacist. Oh, worse yet, that's
suicide from any parent's son or daughter decides to become a nurse in that Leilani we're in a lady,
my god. This is why you studied biology to become a nurse. You know, even worse, some of these young
people decide they're going to study history. And then if their parents are yelling at them, what
00:14:17 -->
00:14:24
are you gonna what job are you gonna get studying history? Well, I love history. And I think it's
important to learn, and I think I'm gonna teach afterwards. I want you want to be a teacher.
00:14:26 -->
00:15:00
get a real job, a teacher, people who can't do teach, you know, go these go to law school and become
a lawyer or something. Why can't you get a real job? We even within our families, we make certain
lines of work, certain contributions, we make them feel diminished. Or worse yet, if a young man or
woman decides they're going to study psychology or going to counseling, because they feel the Muslim
community needs a lot of counselors, our women need counsel, our parents need counsel, our teenagers
need counsel. Our young children need counsel and we don't have anybody to get counsel from
00:15:00 -->
00:15:37
We have to end up in the in the, in the care of non Muslims, because we don't have enough
professionals in the space. So somebody decides to go into counseling and everybody else makes fun
of this one that decided to do a major in counseling. You know, because what are you gonna do with
that? How do you get a career out of that? making people feel inferior for the work that Allah gave
them talent in the work of life inspires them to do, I'm not saying you shouldn't aspire for better
and better careers, but don't make people inferior, and feel that people feel inferior for the work
that they do. There are some young men in the audience today that are no good at college, they're
00:15:37 -->
00:16:14
just not no matter how much you try to make them study, they cannot but they're really good at
fixing cars. They just made natural, natural born mechanics, that could be the best mechanic in the
nation. I don't make him feel horrible, because he didn't finish his degree because he couldn't, he
tried, he couldn't do it. But when he put his hand in this work, he was excellent at it. And now
he's gonna run three, four or five garages of his own. And then he's gonna hire the accountant that
graduated from one of the schools he failed out of. That's what's gonna happen and there are people
like that, not everybody has to take the same path. We feel like the the pathways that society has
00:16:14 -->
00:16:50
delineated for us, they are the only way to get respect in society. If you get a degree from a
college, then you get disrespect. If you have a job in an office, then you get respect. If you do
this, this and this, then you get respect. But if you're a farmer, you get no respect. If you're a
taxi driver, you get no respect. If you're a mechanic, you get no respect. If you work at a store,
you get no respect who decided this? The line is messenger give us this standard. There's a reason
we stand in one row, we don't check what your job is. First. We don't check how much you make first
before you stand in a row and salon in a chroma key in the law here at koco. The most noble among
00:16:50 -->
00:17:17
you are the ones that are closest to a law, the ones that are most cautious of a law. And so in that
remarkable Ayah which I'll conclude with but before I go to that I again about that incident,
because the end of it is just absolutely incredible. Before I do that, one more I on the side that I
want to share with you from Soto casas. Allah says DeLuca, Donald ophira, Naja, aloha Latina, LA,
you do not know one of the one of a sudden, that final home, meaning genda
00:17:18 -->
00:17:27
we have reserved it, Allah says, We have reserved it for people who don't want to gain a superiority
in this earth.
00:17:28 -->
00:18:10
They don't want to feel superior to others in this life. They don't want to make other people feel
inferior in this life. That is not what their life is about. law you do not know and fill out the
and by the way, when you create a culture and a society in which some people feel inferior, some
people are made to feel superior. And this culture perpetuates, you know what happens, then
everybody at the bottom is always trying to be like everybody at the top. You have people that are
not making any money, they're poor, and they're living in subpar housing, or whatever, and their
dreams of living in a mansion. And you know, the kind of car and the kind of fancy ride or whatever,
00:18:10 -->
00:18:32
this is facade, that class society that's created where one group is constantly vying for the
dignity of another group. That is facade. That is exactly what happened in the case of qarun. That's
why this ayah comes at the end of the story of qarun when Carmen had all of his wealth, and
everybody else in the Israelite community was poor, they said, Yeah, later
00:18:33 -->
00:19:12
on, if only we had what Cardona has, we'd be doing great if I had what he had man. So sweet. I wish
what he had, I wish I had what he had this is this is corruption at its core. This is corruption
inside of the hearts. And it makes people want to earn money by any means possible, then they no
longer care about what's hot, and what's hot on them. They just say so long as it's a good job, I'll
do it. So long as it makes good money, I'll do it. That the distinction about the good earning that
halaal earning, though the the legitimate earning with the work of your own hand goes away. And so
now as I conclude, I want to share with you the final part of that ayah in which those are the sama
00:19:12 -->
00:19:58
spoke to him and told him to work on the iron and to make sure he perfected his craft. First of all,
in that I highlighted specifics that you didn't have to you could have just said to the elder law
could have just told us about the incident to work on the metal to craft but he even goes cut their
facility made sure every single link in the chain that you make is perfectly calculated. When you do
a job do it perfectly. That's what he told him in telling him that and by the way, it's not just
about those around the I ns man who sadly has in Nabi Mata, Anna Luna vaci. All of you be good, do
good. I'm watching what all of you do halfway through the story of Donald
00:19:59 -->
00:19:59
Trump.
00:20:00 -->
00:20:36
positions, he doesn't what's called an Intifada, he transitions. And he talks to you and me and
says, By the way, I'm not just telling you the story of the road, you better be great at your jobs
too. And you better do right by our jobs too. It doesn't matter if you're a high power executive, it
doesn't matter if you're a janitor, it doesn't matter if you're a clerk somewhere, doesn't matter
what your job is, you better be the best at it. And you better be earning every penny that you're
given, you got to not be the one sleeping on your job. Your work should be defined by someone, you
know, there are people who have jobs who hate their job,
00:20:37 -->
00:21:00
they hate their job, the only reason they're in their job is because of the paycheck. That's it, you
know, and they said, like, you know, there are people I've seen like that in the not to pick on the
people in the post office. But a lot of times, there are people sitting there with the Department of
Motor Vehicles, you know, the guy just doesn't want to help you. They're just, they're not
interested, they just they're looking at the when's lunch, you know, I want to see more people are
walking in their life.
00:21:02 -->
00:21:03
Number 56.
00:21:04 -->
00:21:45
You know, they're so depressed to see you. If you whatever job you have, whatever job you have, you
must now feel that you have to bring a sound to it, you have to bring excellence to it, your very
best to it. Just because this is a favor from a lot of you. If this job wasn't there, if that work
wasn't there, you would be asking people, you will be asking to borrow money from them, to take a
favor from them to pay the electricity bill to pay for the groceries at home to pay your children's
food. We don't want to ever be in that position where we have to ask somebody else is not over. And
in us the dignity of a person is that they don't feel me in need of other people. I the fact that
00:21:45 -->
00:22:23
I'm independent, that I can drive my own car that I can live in my own, you know, housing, that I
can pay for my own clothes, and my own food, that's part of my dignity, having to ask someone is
humiliating and embarrassing. So whatever job you have you and I can have complaints about our jobs,
that's fine. That's fine. But if we forget that every single job you and I have is actually a puddle
of Allah is actually a favor of Allah, by means of which he allowed us to provide us, for ourselves
to give to us to our families. And that because it's a favor of a love, you have to take care of
that favor, we have to do right by our jobs, we can't be sleeping on the job. We can't be just
00:22:23 -->
00:22:33
getting by because our managers not watching us 24 seven, you can't just walk into late, late into
your office or into your job anytime you feel like it, because there's nobody checking on you.
00:22:34 -->
00:22:55
Alive, still checking on you, you still owe him that. That's part of the sound that we bring, you
know, Larissa will tell us a little bit awkward, fulfill all contracts fulfill covenants, when you
make an agreement, and there's an expectation, you fulfill that expectation to the very best of your
ability. And so it can do right, this is what I conclude with now.
00:22:57 -->
00:23:38
Not only must we earn Helen, but we must do good with the work that we do, we must make sure that
the jobs that we have are a means by which good is produced in the world. We cannot be part of
corrupt industries, we cannot be part of a machinery or corporate machinery that creates more
corruption in the world. We have to you can't just earn your keep your your money and not worry
about what this is a part of, you know, you can't. This is why you can't just go get a job at a
brewery that makes beer, you know, are a weapons manufacturer or something. These people produce
evil in the world. Because destruction and death in the world. We have to know we have to be morally
00:23:38 -->
00:23:50
conscious that what we're doing is going to do good in the world. It's going to serve some better
purpose in the world. And so we have to be conscious about that in the workplace and the thing that
we're contributing towards it.
00:23:51 -->
00:24:19
And then finally, Allah says, Whatever you do, I'm carefully watching your boss may not be watching,
nobody else may be watching, but Allah certainly is May Allah make us conscious of our work and May
Allah give all of us the ability to earn holidays and to spend it in the best possible way. May
Allah azza wa jal continue to favour us with his father, for ourselves and our families and give us
the best of this in dystonia, and in the era barakallahu li walakum Hakeem when a funny word er can

Swamy from October, how many people here have teenagers, kids that are teenagers, this is a message
for you guys. And also for those that have college students, this kids,
00:30:47 -->
00:31:21
many of you know about the dream program, I want to tell you something very briefly about it. And
that is that when I was in high school, and I graduated out of high school and then went to college,
it only took one semester for me to lose Islam. It only took one semester, and that was back in the
90s. That was not when the media was constantly attacking Islam. That was not when we were
constantly being criticized in every return. That was not the case. But a couple of philosophy
courses, one or two courses in evolution, and you're done. You feel like the religion has no value.
This is all just stories that your parents tell you. That's what happens to our youth, it is very
00:31:21 -->
00:31:55
critical that we take our high school kids, and before they go into college, that we provide them a
solid education in their religion. That's actually the focus of the dream program to connect
students, young students directly to the Quran. By the way, it's not limited to high school kids,
but I want to especially emphasize young men and women that are graduating out of high school that
before they start their college career, let us borrow them for nine months. We teach them the Arabic
language so they can understand the Quran directly. We do a core core onyx studies program. So they
begin to understand what this book is actually about and intellectually start engaging this book. So
00:31:55 -->
00:32:28
by the time they go to college, they are not being attacked with that doubt. They're the ones that
are a reason for other people to start believing. They become a source of guidance for others. And
that's the that's the ultimate battlefield today is our young people. So I'm urging you to consider
sending your high school graduates those of you that are in college take a semester or two off in
previous years, there have been people that left their jobs and careers moved over here to Irving to
attend the program. Now it's handled that's being offered in the ulis campus. Those of you in the
audience that are graduates of the dream program from here, please stand up so people may speak with
00:32:28 -->
00:32:56
you also. And there's going to be a booth outside so you can get more information about the program
inshallah Tada This is again open for both men and women. The last thing I want to share with you is
this evening from this evening on I'm starting a series of gurus of the Quran called reflections
nights of reflection. I'm going to be here after motive and it's going to go from negative till
after Isha. It's open to our brothers and sisters and it's also open to your non Muslim friends and
family inshallah Allah so I hope to see you this evening is Akuma located in Santa Monica
