Today, Inshallah, we're going to look at a very famous parable of the Quran. I know, because in Muslim communities around the world, there's always some kind of fundraising or another. And there are some places in the Quran, whether you like it or not, you're familiar with those places. Like the example of those who spent in the path of Allah is like a seed that grows into seventh grade or seven years, sprouts, and each of them has 100. So one gets multiplied by 700. So that you're, I'm sure many of you are very familiar with the parable. But first, regardless, I will read the meanings of the ayah, one piece by one piece translated and then we'll take the same methodology as before,

examples in the Quran, are actually Allah reinforcing the lesson so you can remember the lesson. But the lessons already being taught in the Surah it's not something standalone by itself. It's a continuation of something. So we're going to try to see how is this a continuation? And where does it fit in what Allah is saying, in Surah, Al Baqarah. And so far, because I'm kind of going in order. The only examples we have covered thus far all belong to certain Baqarah even the next couple of days are going to be about sort of Bukhara and then we'll move on from there and shout louder. Okay, so Allah says, Matthew Lavina, Yun Fiocco, Nephi sebelah. The example of those who spend their

monies you call that and while they're hungry, sebelah they spend their monies, their assets in Allah's path. Now you've heard for the sake of Allah in the path of Allah, we'll have to look a little bit deeper into what that means also, can I say the hot button it's like the example of a single seed.

Um, but that's Sebastiana bill, which gave rise to seven years of grain. Now, that's strange language because most of us are not farmers. So we don't know whether an ear of grain is you can google image it if you like, it will give you an idea of what a grain of ear or ear grain rather means. But it's basically the plant sprouts, and there's a greenery covering it and you have to peel the green and you see the corn or the seeds inside the seedlings inside, right. So each one of those stocks is called assembler. And the plural of that is Cinnabon. So if equally suitable and then also one seed gives rise to seven stocks. And then he says frequently some bulletin me to help bind each

one of those stocks. When you peel the ear. When you peel the sides, it gives you 100 seeds. Well Allah who you lightly fully Manisha, and it is in fact Allah that multiplies for whoever he wants, meaning above and beyond that, also, what Allah who is here on Eileen, and Allah is all encompassing, Allah is vast and entirely knowledgeable, Allah knows everything. So this is the rough translation of the ayah. But we're gonna start from somewhere that looks a little bit unfamiliar, in the context of this, this idea, but it's very familiar to all of you, I'm going to start with item could see, which is a few hours before this. Allah says Allahu La ilaha illa Hua and how you will

consume the first name of Allah, in that ayah, the concluding Names of Allah was Alhaj, the one who the source of all life, the living and the source of all life. Now keep that in mind. That's it, we'll go see the very next eye after that Allah says, Allah ikura Hafiz Deen Catawba Jana Ross Domina Lee, there is no forcing anybody in this religion. You don't have to force anybody to follow this religion. The truth or the right way has been made abundantly clear as different from the deviated crooked way. In other words, you can show somebody This road leads to your own death, this road leads to someplace good, it'll get you home, you decide nobody's forcing you to take the right

road. Right. So that's basically the imagery of Catawba you know, rush to middle lane. He says familiar with pa Houthi when a human biller faculty stem circa bill or whatever worthless, this is the part I'm going to focus on now for our purpose. He said and whoever denies those that want to rebel, the forces of rebellion and decides to believe in Allah, then that's the kind of person that is holding on to the strongest kind of anchor or the strange, strongest kind of link of a chain. This is the image of someone drowning in the ocean. They fell off of a boat or foot fell off of a ship. They're drowning and the waves are slamming them and they're about to die. And the only hope

they have is the ship has a you know those gigantic chains and anchors the links that they drop

so that the shape stays in place. That is the Ottawa or the link of that is our Ottawa and the strongest one of them he's holding on to it. So the waves are going in any which direction but he can hold on for dear life. Now the name of Allah that was mentioned in outdoorsy was the the living, which also implies as murky, so I'll hate well murky, this is last even Masoom so if Allah is the source of our life, or Allah is the living all life comes from Allah, he's the giver of life, this person is holding on for life. So Allah is saving him, right? So he says, Whoever can you know, reject the hood and believe in Allah, it's like someone holding on for dear life. Learn for Sama,

Lucha chain that will not break it cannot be collapsed. Allah who sent me are in Lima Allah, here's everything knows everything. Now let's keep that same imagery going Allahu Allahu Latina, Amanu Allah is the protective friend of those who have believed the word Welly in Arabic, which commonly gets translated as friend or protector comes from the Arabic word willya. And willya in Arabic was, you know, titled Bertha, or there's a, you know, animals like horses or camels or whatever, if you sit on them for a long time, their skin gets irritated. So they put a saddle on top of the horse, right, but the saddle itself is made of leather, or may have some metal parts in it, and the leather

itself can start irritating the skin of the the animal. So what they would do is they would put a cushion like a thin mattress on the animal, then they would put the saddle and then you the writer sits on it. So that middle layer that gives comfort to the animal, it's always there in between the saddle and the rider, right. And that middle layer was called the Wilier. The reason it was called that is after two months of sitting on the animal, or you know, after every week, you're sitting on the animal riding, riding riding, you're taking it off to wash the animal. But when you take it off, it's been sitting on him for so long, it's stuck to him, or it's stuck to the saddle, it gets, you

know, fused together, bonded together, you know, like kind of like band aid that if you put on for a long time, it's hard to take off, right. So that's what happens to it. So actually, William means two things that stick together. When you lift one, the other one lifts. Now in the ancient Arabian culture, through tribes, there used to be big tribes and small tribes before Islam. And sometimes these tribes would have fights with each other. And sometimes there's a small tribe, who's having a fight with a big tribe, which means the small tribes gonna get a pretty good beating. So what a small tribe would do is go to some other small tribes, or maybe a middle sized tribe and say, Hey,

you want to be our Welly. You want to stick with us, we'll stick with you. We'll do business with each other, we'll do marriages with each other, we'll lend money to each other. If you guys are having a problem on your farm, we'll send our guys to help you out. If you have a drywall, you can use our water, we will cooperate and everything. And if there's a war and somebody wants to fight will join hands and fight together, we will be allies in everything. And that was these two tribes became wealthy to each other. That was the concept of Wilaya. Basically, what that means is generally they're cooperating. But above and beyond that, especially when it comes to crisis

situations. Fighting one of them means fighting both of them. There's no There's no other way of looking at it. That's the idea of someone becoming your Welly. Now from with that concept. Allah says Allah is the willie of those who have come to believe, meaning those who come to believe are going to be in a crisis situation. And who will always be by their side, it will be Allah. And the image he gives us you collegial homing of Illuminati in a node, he pulls them he keeps pulling them out of darkness says towards the light. We saw this imagery before, but in the context that we're discussing, you know, somebody's drowning in the ocean, the deeper they drown, the darker it gets.

And the one who's going to save them as pulling them out of darkness is back towards the light, isn't it? And the idea of darkness is is also like you know, going into the ground, death is under the ground and pulling out is bringing you out back into life. Right. So this is the coming out of the darkness into the light is actually also an imagery of saving life. Okay, so you've read your homie novel lumati Eleanor, well, Athena cafardo lea Omoto hood, Yokozuna, homina nudie Illuma will let us have a note on fee Halloween, and those who have disbelieved there Alia the plural of what he is only so their allies. They're the people who are with them, no matter what our attire who those

who rebel those who wants to defy a light and return. They keep pulling them out of light, and dropping them back into the darkness you could unite him in a neutral format, without a cause half an hour, Humphrey, how Caledon those are the people of the fire in which they shall remain. So one image was one concept well was Allah is the living and the source of all life. Then after that Allah azza wa jal had somebody holding on to an anchor to save their life. Then Allah is saying he constantly saves the lives of his allies, brings them towards life towards light and has the

enemies that are who would bring people towards their own destruction towards their own death, pushing them down into into drown. Now look at the next words. And I'm Tara Illa, the Hijjah Ibrahima Farah be an utter hula hula Mulk is Carla Ibrahim Rob blnd up while you need Carla and our or he will meet the very next idea is didn't you look towards Ibrahim alayhis salam Didn't you think about Ibrahim alayhi salam, or you know when he looked at the one who was arguing with Ibrahim Ali salaam because Allah had given this person kingdom power. So this king num Roode was arguing with Ibraheem Alehissalaam and Ibrahim alayhi salam tells him my Arab is the one who gives life and gives

death or be Allah you meet same subject, right life and death. So he says, My Rob is the one who gives life and give gives death. He says, I know he will meet. He says, No, I'm the one who gives life and give. He didn't even say no, he said, I'm the one who gives life and gives death. And the point here is Ibrahim Alayhi. Salam said rugby my master gives life and gives death. He goes, Oh, that must be me because I give life and give death. So I must be your master. Clearly, so he you know, and the story goes that he, you know, brought it to prisoners that were supposed to be sentenced to death, and he kills one of them and lets the other one go. See, I give life and I give

death. So I must be Oh, Rob. So now the Rahim Allah Sam is not going to use the word Rob anymore because this clown is misusing it. Right. So he says, I know he will meet Carla Ibrahim for in Allah HYAH TB Shamcey middle machinic TB Hamlen Muslim. He said then, if that's the case, that is certainly Allah that brings the sun from the east. Why don't you produce it from the west come up with the sun from the west and by the way, the concept of the sun rising and the sun falling has a lot to do with life and death also, all life comes down during the night and all life starts. Birds start chirping animals start moving crops starts growing because of the sunlight life is directly a

function of the sun. Right so for in the La Jolla TV show. I'm Seminole machinic 30 becoming a muslim for Wahidullah the cover wala hula had to come avoid me. So you notice that the lesson so far have to do with life and death and life and death and life and death. What's going to happen next I Ocala de Moura either creating or here how we act on other Arusha are like the one who passed by a city or a town, and it had already been turned over its roofs. Now that sounds like strange English, it was turned over its roof. So let me briefly explain to you what happened. Sometimes in history, towns where there was war, and the whole town got destroyed, or people got taken as prisoner, the

civilian population got killed, homes got burned, etc, etc. Right. So basically, it's an abandoned village or an abandoned town. And you have all these homes that nobody takes care of those homes anymore. The doors are broken, the windows are broken. Some of the the roofs have holes in them, right. But nobody's maintaining them or fixing them. So what happens after two years, three years, four years, there's mold in the building, there's animals in the building, there's, you know, there's rust, the metal has started to rust, the wood is starting to get soggy and wet. So what happens is the most, the weakest part of a building is the roof. Because it's the most exposed to

the weather. It's the most and it's the most exposed. It's not supported by any foundation, it's just sitting on top. So the wind damages the roof, heavy rain damages the roof, snow damages the roof, right? Animals damage the roof. So the roof starts getting damaged and damaged and damaged until eventually the roof cannot be supported anymore. Nobody was maintaining the building, what happens to the roof? It it falls, when it falls, the four walls are there. And in the middle of it is the roof. But one of the things with the four walls is one of the reason they were staying in place is because the roof was pressing down on them. So now nothing is holding the walls in place.

So when the wind blows and the wind rain comes in the animals mess with it. Eventually the walls also become weak, and one after the other. They start falling. But what are they falling on? They're falling on top of the roof. And this entire scene which may have taken 100 years, which may have taken five centuries. It could be I don't know how long it took. But that scene is it was turned the town was flipped over on its roofs. That's the image of it. So instead of describing centuries went by the place was uninhabitable nobody could live there. Instead of doing that Allah just uses a simple phrase how we atone Allah Arusha. And he destroyed describes not just how the town was

abandoned and destroyed, and everybody was killed or taken as prisoner, but also on top of that, that nobody could live there again, and for so long that even the roofs collapse and the walls walls collapsed. On top of that. This is clearly an image of death, an entire town that's dead, by the way from a from a Jewish history perspective. This may also be referring to the taking of Jericho, or you know, other places in Jewish history where invading forces came the Assyrians came at one point for example, and they killed hundreds of 1000s and they took other hundreds of 1000s of slaves, slave labor and they took them

with them. So this profit what some of our facilities say, is our data. The histogram was one of the profits of bunnies right in at a time when others had come and destroyed their towns and had taken them prisoners. So this town is gone. And there's nobody's living there. Imagine nowadays, for example, you go to a place that, you know, Shayateen have bombed, and you're walking by buildings are bombed and rubble everywhere, and there's no, there's no water. There's not even an animal that's flying overhead. And you're looking at that and saying, How is this ever going to be fixed? Who will ever live here again? Right? That's kind of the idea. So he says, he's passing by and so

he's so hurt by what he sees. He says, under your he had the Hila hooba. motiva. How is it that Allah is going to give life to this after it's dead? How will how will this ever come back to life? This is a very important idea for Muslims to also think about, because we sometimes think about the state of the Ummah, we think about how helpless how powerless, how weak have destroyed, how broken you know how corrupted how divided, you name it all the bad look up all the bad adjectives in the dictionary and it looks it looks like a description of the OMA or the almost condition right now. Like how is this ever going to change? This is never going to change? Well, you know what Allah gave

an example of that in the Quran of a prophet walking by a town and the OMA is in shambles. The ones that are supposedly alive are slave to the kuffar. That's what happened then. And he's looking at this destroyed, you know, city of Muslims. And he's saying, How will Allah ever bring this back to life? And now he had the Hilah, Hobart devotee here for America, Allah who meet at Amman from Mombasa. So Allah caused him to die right then and there. And he kept kept him dead for 100 years. And then he brought him back to life. So he comes back to life. He died in a dead town, so nobody's going to check on him. Right. Then he brought him back to life, called a Camilla visa. He asked him

how long were you there? ColourLovers to Yamano Barbone. He said I was there a day maybe? Probably took a nap for a few hours. That's that's his record. Because when we when we pass out, you don't see a sense of time. Right? It passes by and you don't even know, either. Bella Vista Miata? Um, no, no, actually, you were staying here for 100 years. Allah tells him you've been here for a century funboard Illa Tomica have washed Arabica lineata Sana. Now take a look at your food. And look at take a look at children. If you had food with you, if you had a burger with you, and you died for 100 years, and you got up as a burger still there?

No, no. If you had drink with you, is the drinks still there? No. It's disintegrated. You'd be it'd be shocking. If the container was there, the container itself would evaporate and 100 years, right. So he says now take a look at your food and your drink. They didn't age at all. So when you look at the food and drink and didn't age, it's harder to believe it was 100 years. Sounds more like 100 seconds, not 100 years. Right? So then he says wonder Illa hematic now take a good look at your donkey, the mule that he was carrying that he was traveling with. While in Sri Lanka Ayatollah NASCI. And we did this so that we can make you a sign for the people meaning you've seen something

remarkable and you will go tell people Allah will bring life back. Just like he brought life back to this dead animal in front of my eyes. Allah will bring the life life breathed life back into the ummah. That's the that's the idea that he was given. And he actually went back and caused a revival among the Israelites. He calls it he brought them back to Allah He reminded them of Allah and they rose back and fought back again and Empire was formed again from from those believers one little 11 Now take a look at the bones because all that was left of the animal the donkey was the bones okay if I don't choose who had to my neck sue her LACMA? How we will raise those bones the bones will

jump up new shoes means jumping up, rising up suddenly, how the rate the bones start standing up on their own, then we will dress them with flesh for the metal yeah and Allahu so he sees the death work in reverse from death back to life in front of his eyes. So when that became clear to him, he said Allah and Allah Allah Felicia included, I know now that Allah I realize Allah is in complete control over everything. I will look at the current situation, the politics, the economics, the media, I will look at that and say, How is this going to change? I won't say that anymore. I will say Allahu Allah coalition, Kadir, right. That's the lesson that he learned. Now, this was also

about life and death, isn't it? And then look at the next idea. If Carla Ibrahim would not be an indicator to heal Mota, Ibrahim Ali Salam said to Allah Yara, show me how do you bring life back to the dead and Allah as Sabra Hema Ibrahim Ali Salam, interestingly, he's kind of jumped into a fire before. So he's seen himself stay alive in the middle of death. That's already happened. He's seen his family be dropped off in the middle of a desert, which is death. And he comes back and they're perfectly fine because Allah promised so he's seen that Allah preserves life all the time, multiple times, not just once multiple times he's seen this. In fact, he's even

and seen this when he was commanded to sacrifice his child. Right? So the test of life and death, Ibrahim Ali Salam is experienced at multiple times. So when you read this question, it sounds strange coming from him gave a unique effort to heal motor How do you bring life back to the you know, to the dead?

And Allah says our laptop in our laptop when you said you don't already believe? Didn't you have one? And this is this is a, you know, a stiff hammer to create you do believe? I know you believe so why are you asking? This is an interesting question from you. And he said Bala Killian Nickleby, of course I do. But this is to give tranquility and calm to my heart. I want to get I want to see feel calm and my heart. What does this mean that a believer can believe? 100% Nobody can question the amount of Ibrahim Ali Salam. But sometimes Allah shows us signs. Allah gives us a reminder, Allah gives us a lesson and it reinforces what you already believe. So we all need reinforcement, even

Ibrahim alayhi salam once arena respectfully asks for reinforcement. And Allah gives him the sign and there are there are there's a dominant view of what happens in this area. And there's a minority view shifts for hips that he has written a paper on the minority view I really liked a minority view but I'm not in denial of the majority view the majority view is that he was told you know, hold Arboretum and I played for Honda lake so much collegia Willimon Honda just take for birds and make train them so they come back towards you. Sort of Honda elite comes from Surah you'll see you are sorry your su also Okay, so Rhonda means to make them inclined towards you. Now keep in mind this

this word is really interesting. Because from this word saw the while and raw also comes the verb solwara. To mold like, you know halacha come from Holika calm fissara confer Asana Solara calm, and Soto Turabian. Allah created you and he molded you and he molded you in the most beautiful way. The same word gives you the word sore for either nofit Hafiz sore, like I was saying in Holberton, enough Hutton Wahida the horn that will be blown into well, we'll try to tie those concepts together in a second. So he says take four birds and train them so they can come back to you. So honey Lake, I know we're not in that culture anymore. So we don't know what that is. Now we have drones that you

have to have a remote control and they come back to you if the battery is still alive, right. But back in the day, you could train a pigeon, you could train an eagle, you could train different kinds of birds. And that you could you know, send a letter with them, and the others can send a letter back and they will they won't come to the wrong address, they'll come exactly to the rooftop where they're supposed to come. So training birds was a part of the human experience. So it's like training animals, horses, dogs, etc. Training birds was also part of the human experience and it still in many cultures, especially in more tribal cultures or mountain cultures. You know, this is

still alive this still happens right? So he says train these birds so they come back to you so now Laker so much knowledgeable I mean, who knows, then put a piece of each of them on multiple mountains. So now this some people understand as Oh, he took he killed all those birds. And he took all the legs and he put them on one mountain, and he put all the wings on another mountain, etc. All the heads on the other mountain. So he chopped them up and just put pieces on tops of on top of the mountains, and then throw mud or Hoonah then call them Yeah, Tina Khazaria they will come back running to you or rushing back to you. Right? The minority opinion is trained these birds and just

means group just can also mean group. So take the group of pigeons for example. And leave them on this mountain and take the group take the eagle and leave it on this mountain and take the you know the coils or whatever leave them on this mountain and then call them and then call them well what's gonna happen when he calls them if they're alive. That is they'll fly back to him. Yeah, Tina Kesariya. And this is perhaps an image the same way Allah will on Judgment Day c'est la vie in Arabic ear all the other merliah Allah will make a call we'll all come back and in fact on Judgement Day, Allah will blow into a sore, sore ha Nidek Allah will go into a sword and we will come back to

our original surah and will rush back to him. Right will come up we'll come back to Allah so Allah who was giving him a preview the same way birds fly back to their master your souls and your bodies will fly back to their master when Allah makes the call. So that's and this is again showing how the dead come back to life. So he says, Yeah, Tina Khazaria where Allah mandala Aziz and Hakeem now these are all life and death, life and death, life and death like multiple times, starting with AYATUL kursi Allahu La ilaha illa who will Hey, I'll call you right the one who maintains life also okay, you now we get to the ayah that I wanted to talk to you about. Masala, Xena, Yun Fukuda and

wialon visa vie de la the example of those who spend in the path of Allah their monies come after the hub is like a seed. Um, but that sub escena Villa gave seven sprouts. Each of them has 100 seeds and Allah multiplies however much he wants. That's the idea. What is this? How

has to do with First of all, a seed growing is also death, turning into life, but there's more. These Ayat we're talking about my death and me coming back to life, or an alma dying and an alma coming back to life. That's what the subject was. But Allah is changing the subject a little bit. Allah is now saying, not only will you die and come back to life, your deeds that you think died with you will also come back to life. You do a deed, it's like and you're done. You just move on with your life for you. You just left it behind. But it's as if every deed that I did, especially in fog spending in the path of Allah is like a seed I planted and I left and the seed is growing now.

The seed is growing in ways I can't imagine. And I moved on. I didn't even think about it. For me that action is dead because yesterday is gone. Yeah, Mahalia like he says in sortal, haka, right. The days that are gone, they're emptied out, that part is never going to come back. But Allah is saying, just like you will come back to life, your deeds will also come back to life, your deeds will also come back to life. So that's one, then also between these ayat that Allah is teaching us. But there's also more going on and to understand that I want you to understand some things about the context. sootel Bacara is one of the early surah is revealed in Medina. So those who love allah

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has escaped Makkah basically the Hijra is basically escaping Mecca, because there was an attempt to kill the Prophet alayhi salaatu wa Salaam. So somehow miraculously, he has escaped, and they finally get some breathing room in Medina. When they moved to Medina, one of the early sutras that was revealed within the first six months or right after the first six months is Surah Al Baqarah. It starts coming down. Now when sutras Bukhara starts coming down, something strange happens. Allah starts talking about Bani Israel.

And he talks about how they were you know, they defy the law of Allah and all of it. But in the middle of all of that he describes the Smiley's Salaam and from his Marina Ali salaam, Allah says By the way, Ibrahim Ismail we're building what together,

the Kaaba and the Muslims just left Mark Kinder Medina now. And now they're hearing a lot about how the Kaaba was built. Right? And then this this is the house of Allah that was made for, you know, with Jandal beta Mahabharata Lanessa. I'm now this was a place where people will keep coming back and find peace. But Muslims are like wait, we didn't find any peace in Makkah. We came to Medina to find peace. There was no peace in Makkah. And then he said an Amana what does he do mean? Nakagami Ibrahima masala he told the Muslims take from Macomb if you guys know Maccabi Rahim right take from Nakamura him a place where you can make salah. Now any Muslim living in Medina is being told go to

mocambique Rahim and mix Allah.

Well, I just barely escaped or trying to kill me.

He's sending me back there. This this is a bit extreme. A few hours later, you're going to find other laws you're going to find laws of how to slaughter an animal. When are animals slaughtered in Arab culture in large amounts, Hajj, Hajj, Allah talks about cm in total dakara This is the surah that also talks about our fasting. Why is fasting important because the Arabs actually one of the things one of the cultural usage of the word song before us Assam William sack as Aslan, right. So means to hold back. The thing was Arabs didn't just use some for themselves. Arabs use sound for their horses. Because Arabs, they know that the better travel in the desert is the camel, the horse

is not a good idea for the desert, the camel is a good idea for the desert. But if you're going to war, camels not that helpful.

Because if you're going to come and strike and the camels like

you'd be dead before you get to the you need a fast ride. The problem with it is they're gonna have these battles in the middle of the desert somewhere by the time you take your horse there, the horses already dead, it needs too much water, and you have to give all the armies water to the horse. This is a problem. So they used to train their horses to survive longer while being dehydrated. And they used to hold water back from their horses. And they used to call that song. So the sun was already associated in Arab culture with battle preparation, endurance preparation, endurance training, right? And so because you can survive longer without food and still, you know,

be functional. Right and Allah revealed fasting and after he revealed fasting then he starts talking about hedge hedge. Now why in the world if the Muslims are in Medina, you can't make Hajin Medina where you gotta go.

You gotta go to Makkah, which means every Muslim knows and by the way, then I didn't even mention the biggest one Allah changed the direction of the Salah.

That's the first thing. He changed the direction from Jerusalem to Makkah now the Muslims five times a day are turning towards Mecca and praying Fajr Lucha Asada elimination knowing

that there are statues all around the Kaaba.

Now imagine making Salah right now and thinking there are statues around the Kaaba, would that bother you? Every Salah would remind you, our job is not done, and our job will not be done until those idols are destroyed. Because this is Allah's house, it's being held hostage and forcibly turned into a temple of false worship, we must restore it to be the masjid that it was supposed to be, we must restore the legacy of Ibrahim alayhis salam, we must restore it and we will do it by making the hajj so when the when pseudo Bukhara came. These were Muslims that barely escaped with their lives. And now they're in Medina. And now from the early early on in Medina, it's like the

Quran is telling them by the way, catch your breath, you gotta go back.

This is not your objective. Your objective was not to settle down in a community and everything's okay. Your objective was always Maka liberating the house of Allah, that's your job. The question then becomes Maccha is in the control of Quraysh. And Qureshi are not some small players, they're the they're the most wealthy of the tribes of the cities of the region, they are politically the most connected. So even if they're not gonna kill you, they have plenty of people that are ready to kill you for them. Because they have affiliations. Right. So you nowadays in politics, it may be hard for you to imagine nowadays, there are some countries, it's not just that country, it's who

they're friends with.

And you have to worry about them. And you have to worry about all of their friends, right? Never heard of that, did you?

And this is how things worked in the Arabian region. So we don't even know near Medina who are allies with the Moroccans who will do their job for them. And actually, even within Medina, there were Jewish tribes that were making allies with Americans, right, trying to even assassinate the prophets of Allah our lives. And so all of this is happening. And all of a sudden, Allah says, Yep, you're gonna take over America, really, we're going to, we're going to take over America, the wealthiest with the mightiest with the most battle experience, with the most resources with everybody's on their side, and we who barely escaped are going to take over them.

Yep, that's what you're gonna do.

You're going to be the army, that becomes the army of Allah. By the way, whenever you have an army, an army requires a big budget, doesn't it?

In most countries, the biggest part of the tax budget goes were military. What Allah is basically calling for war against Americans. That means you have to build an army. If you have to build an army, then you have to have money. You have to build resources. Like in Soto and file even after battle Allah said, I do like Omastar to mean coverton When the rebuttal time, he said prepare whatever you can have any kind of power, and especially of the cavalry horses, the thing is our horses cheaper, expensive.

Allah says prepare horses, that means you have to buy horses, then you have to train horses is that cheap or expensive, then you have to keep horses, the stable the food, the watershed, then you have to train horses, then you have to make the horse shoes then you have to make the saddles then you have oh my god, this is a whole industry. This is a whole military industrial complex inside one IRA. And it's really expensive. Which means the Muslims have to spend. So Allah says, you know, he keeps talking about spending in the path of Allah. But some people who weren't very strong and they're human, or they were not so sure. So you want us to spend for what an army an army really?

And how big of an army are we going to make? And who are we going to fight with? All right, with the Quraysh we're going to fight?

This is not a smart idea. There's a really bad we're just burning our money. There's no way we can win against these people. What are you talking about? Nobody messes with maca. We're just throwing our money away. You're just might as well burn your money. And on top of that, not only will you lose all your money, bro, you're gonna get killed, but I'm gonna kill you.

Look at all these ayat again. Allah is the source of all life.

Allah is the source of all life. He brings believers out of darkness is towards light. How will Allah bring life back to this dead town? Ya Allah, how do you bring the dead back to life? After one enforcement and other enforcement and other enforcement and other enforcement, the Muslim is being told. Death doesn't mean anything because Allah will bring you back to life. So the argument that you're gonna get killed is no longer a problem for you. There's not a problem because Allahu La ilaha illa who Well, hey, Alka, you. You're good. You're settled. Ibrahim alayhi salam needed, needed something to calm his heart and birds the sign of birds was enough for him to know that Allah

will bring you back to it was good enough. It wasn't Allah wasn't just telling us about Ibrahim Ali's. I'm just talking to you and me, preparing us and then by the way, if I'm ready to die if I'm ready to go, then the most valuable asset I have in my life is my life. If somebody is going down

On the street, not Muslim, you know, atheist Hindu doesn't matter who you're going on the street, somebody pulls a gun. Give me all your money.

No, I worked really hard for this money, I'll give you this money, take my life instead,

nobody will do that will handle money. Because the first most valuable thing you have is what? Your life the second most valuable thing you have is money. The second most valuable thing is money. The first most valuable thing is life for human beings in general. So that's why somebody has to threaten your life to get your money. That's that's how it works. Now in these ayat, Allah first made the biggest challenge, which is life itself. He said, Don't worry about life, I'll take care of life. That's not our problem. What's the only problem left? And what's the problem? Number two, was money is money. And it's as if Allah says before you're ready to give me your life. Let's see,

before I asked you for number one, let me see if you're ready for number two yet, because if you can't even do number two, that's proof that you're nowhere near ready for number one. So now he says, By the way, those who spend in the path of Allah, even a single seed is like something that multiplies over and over and becomes by the way, this life, this life, no, I'm not talking about money. I'm talking about life. Allah says, well, Ramadan hated dunya Phil, Akira de la Khalil,

the things we have in this life, the age that I have the health that I have, the enjoyment that I have the experience that I have a very limited, and what Allah has given me in the aka is unlimited. So he says, compared to this, compared to the next life, this life is very little. That's what Allah says. And it's easy to understand, if Allah is saying that life is permanent, how can you compare something that's finite, to something that is infinite? There's no comparison. The same way, the spending in this life is finite. And the return on that spending is infinite. Allah doesn't say, Hey, you spent in this life, so you're gonna get this much. And when that much is used up that said,

time's up, no, no, as you keep getting it is forever.

You keep getting it over and over and continuously, it doesn't run out, you know, the Jonathan Lin taboo, a business that will never go bad. You made investment once the return is permanent. The return keeps on coming forever and ever and ever. That's the that's the concept of the era of the era. Now let's take one more look at this idea again, and try to understand what Allah azza wa jal is saying. In this example, the idea of planting a seed is the idea of investment. A farmer, unlike any other employee, many people here are employed, many people have businesses, right? In a business, like if you have a store or restaurant or something like that, you calculate how much you

made. Sometimes you calculate it every two weeks, sometimes you calculate your monthly income. Those of you that are employees, maybe you get a paycheck, I think in the UK, it's every once a month, isn't it? So they want to wait until you starve them to pay you again, they have a thing. Here we have in America, we have bi weekly paychecks right every two weeks, you spend money, but then you you know, because the thing is if you get your whole monthly paycheck on the first by the third year report again, because you're like, Ah, I got money now. Then, by the third day, oh my god, there's 27 days left, want to get paid again, right. But think about the farmer, the farmer gets paid once a

season, not once a week, not twice a month, not once a month, once every season. And the paycheck is not guaranteed.

He's putting the seed every one seed at a time is breaking his back, putting everything out, it's a very exhausting task, putting the seed in the ground. He doesn't know if the seed is any good. He doesn't know if it's good enough, because it might not even grow. He doesn't know if the soil has some bugs or insects in it that are going to infect the seed or destroy it. He doesn't know if it's going to rain or not. Or if it's going to rain too much. And it's going to flood the whole thing and mess everything up. He doesn't know if it's going to be extra hot and it's going to burn everything. He doesn't know if it's going to be extra cold and it's going to freeze everything to death. He

doesn't know if there's going to be an infestation of locust or other birds or swarms and they'll come destroy everything. He doesn't know why he's doing this work anyway, hoping that the whole season survives without any problems. And at the end of it finally he can see the stock grow. And when even if it's half grown, the farmer is very nervous. He's like it's looking good, but anything could go wrong. So he's nervous when the thing is fully grown in any culture, whether it's a farming culture in Europe or a farming culture in India or a farming culture in Malaysia or Indonesia, or Vietnam anywhere. It doesn't matter what when the crop grows fully. Every culture celebrates. They

bring out the drums, they bring out different colors, they start celebrating because that is the one day in the season where you're gonna get

paid, that's what you're gonna get paid. You didn't have a guarantee there was no reason to celebrate until harvest season. Until then you couldn't celebrate. What Allah does in this example is, for a believer, the celebration begins, the moment you put the seed in the ground.

You're not waiting for the harvest, Allah is already guaranteed, this crop will not go bad. This crop will not go and I told you the analogy is a lot can go wrong, right. But the farming a lot can go wrong. So if you study these yatta yatta are coming, here's what can go wrong with the seed you planted for Allah sake. Here's how you make sure your crop will not be destroyed. Take care of this, and you will have multiple on top of multiple on top of multiple. Now let's understand this. Each one grows into seven and each one has 100 inside it, let's let's take a few moments to understand that too. You see, typically, one seed only grows one stock or maybe two, not seven. That's unusual.

And we know the number seven is associated in the Quran with a Sinhala to seven or seven heavens. It's almost as if there's an indication in the ayah, that there's something heavenly going on here. That's not normal for the world. Something unusual is going on in the way that these things are growing. And the way that is small. And by the way, putting one seed in the ground. Does any farmer ever put one seed in the ground and say geology

is ultimately

you have to put 1000s and 1000s and 1000s of seeds. And if you hire your you train your son, son next year, you're going to help me on the farm? He says Dad, I have put a seed I'm done right?

What are you? What are you talking about? You can't put one seed? That's not enough. It's too little. It's too little. What Allah does in this ayah is sometimes a believer might think whatever good they did for Allah sake. Whatever they gave was too little.

You're at some fundraiser? Who will give 10,000 Brothers brothers brothers 10,000 10,000 Come on, don't avoid eye contact. Come on, look at me, look at me. 10,000 10,000 And somebody raises their hand, you're like, Man, I gotta got money.

Okay, okay. Anybody else? Six 710 People gave 10,000 He said, Okay, I'll give you a discount of 5000. And a bunch of people raise their hand 2000 another bunch of people raise their hand 200 A bunch of people, you're like, I just have three pounds.

I need the other three to get back.

So somebody gave 10,000, you gave three pounds? You give $3. Right? And now what are you thinking? That counts for a lot. This counts for a little? What did Allah magnify? Here? They magnify the entire farm? Or did you magnify one seed,

one seed once and that one seed, once it becomes 700 seeds. The idea is each one of those 700 seeds get planted again. And each one of them gives another 700 Which then get planted again. And each one of those get further 700. And they get planted again. And the process continues and continues. But all you did was one seed. That's all you did. Nothing else. Nothing else. Let's put this in practical terms. Let's say 400 years ago, somewhere in South Asia, there was a visiting Muslim, and he stayed with a Buddhist family up in the mountains somewhere near Nepal or what is now nowadays of highest standards. Those people were different religions back then, seven 800 years ago, and he

stayed the Muslim stays there, shows them kindness tells them about Allah a little bit shows them, you know, the kindness honestly, in business, etc. And one young man there became Muslim in the whole village. And then he convinced some people and they became Muslim. And he started a family on his own. He got kicked out of his village or whatever. That young man 800 years ago, his children's children's children opened up masajid all over the world opened up some of them became scholars of this religion. Some of them became business people that donated and took care of 1000s and 1000s of orphans. Some of those orphans went on to become scholars. Some of those or some of those scholars

went on to teach somebody who went on to become the president of a country and reform the policies of that country and save 1000s of lives. Some of them join this and that and the Oh, my God. And all of that started from where one guy having dinner with somebody and said something nice and shared some word of Allah and things change. That young man even when he becomes old and dies, he doesn't know what CD planted. He has no idea. He has no idea and he comes before Allah and judgment day with this one little seed and what Allah has turned that into Allah says Allah Allah who you are, if only Masha Allah multiplies for whoever he wants. You see in business, you have something called

projection.

If we

invest because you know, I'm into somewhat real estate and some some of business investments and things. When you're looking at real estate, you're like, what's the ROI? Is it what are the comps in the area? What are the, you know, similar prices in the area? What kind of, you know, inflation is going on in the area? What's the job market like? So you do your homework, and you have projections of how much possibly can you make from this investment, if you make an investment in this, this or this, right? But on the flip side, what Allah is saying is, this is an investment number one, it's guaranteed. Number two, the return from this investment will come from places you can't even

imagine. Well, Allahu Allah a fool, you may Allah multiplies for whoever he wants, and by the way, 700 multiplied by 700, multiplied by 700, multiplied by 700. That's still human calculation. Allah adds wala who yulara Fully Manjusha as if to say, and on top of that, Allah does his own kind of multiplication for whoever he wants to kind of multiplication you can't even understand at least seven and 700 you can understand there's another level of calculation is beyond you, that you don't you don't understand it.

The last thing I'll share with you about this remarkable expression that Allah has given us for spending in the path of Allah is the phrase feasable Allah. This is an important phrase, we use it nowadays for everything. Can I have some ice cream feasable Allah, can you please get out of my way if he said meet Allah, everything is visa vie de la, right? In the Quran, if US careful study of the Quran will yield that the prophet of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had a mission. And his mission was to liberate the house of Allah and restore it for the same purpose for which Ibrahim alayhis salam built it. And Ibrahim alayhi salam built that house so all of humanity can get to know

who Allah is. He built that not for one or one group of people or two groups of people, Ibrahim Ali Salam was commissioned to build that house. So people from all over the world can know who Allah is, and can know what worshiping one God truly means. That's the objective of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, that's his mission. His mission is not to establish a community in Medina, that is just one step towards that mission. His mission is not to make hijra, that is just a step towards that mission. His mission is not to go to battle, that is just another step towards that mission, the mission is something else. Everything else that's going on big steps, or small steps are heading

towards that one objective that one mission. And all of the Muslims understand everybody understands whether I'm at the front of the battlefield, or I'm the one making the horseshoes or I'm the one cooking the food or I'm the one helping with the you know, with the children or whatever else. They all know we're doing our part, but each one of these parts is part of a larger mission. And now when Jana morsels, Allah says as though they are a cemented wall, every wall knows its place. Some walls belong on this wall, some wall, some some bricks will belong on this wall, some bricks on that wall, some bricks above some bricks below, every one of them knows their place. And they're working, all

of them working towards one larger vision, one larger objective. This was and when you are spending, you're spending. There's a journey on which the profit is the journey that leads to the mission that Allah has given and the journey that leads to the pleasure of Allah Subhan Allah Subhana Allah, the path of Allah isn't just something that leads to the pleasure of Allah. But actually the mission the path laid out for the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam by Allah. So you're spending to further the mission of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam that's what you're spending for. Then Allah mentions other spending, other spending is whatever you spend from any good, any good that you

spend, you spend to help somebody you spend in some charity you spent in some, you know, some good cause you spent on your family, etc, etc. All of those are all good, and their height also, and they're a bother also. But the phrase V subete. Allah is associated with spreading and empowering the mission. The Word of Allah should spread in this world in this world. The Word of Allah is near the mission. The objective is the Quran itself, and that's supposed to reach every nook and cranny. It's supposed to reach everywhere. Lita, hakuna Kelly Matala here earlier the Quran says so the speech of Allah can become supreme. How can the speech of Allah become supreme? If everybody hasn't

heard it yet? And everybody hasn't seen it manifest. That's why the carbon needed needed to be liberated. The reason I'm bringing this to your attention is because that's anyone who heard the speech of Allah back then. Let's say a cafe in Macau heard the speech of Allah, even if he didn't become Muslim. He got impacted a little bit. He got shaken up a little bit. And then the next time he heard it, he got shaken up 2% More 3% More, even if he didn't accept Islam. Something in him is he's not saying it. He's not coming out and saying I'm becoming Muslim, but inside a disturbance has begun.

If something has been stirred up, and it will eventually lead to might even him becoming Muslim in Ramadan, zero Manitoba as the curve Akashi or Ramana Belhaj will reign has two meanings there, one of the meanings is and your job, your only warning people who will follow the reminder and whoever will fear a Ramadan, not just a rough man who's in the unseen, but the person is showing fear in the unseen. Like they're, they're fearing Allah but you don't know that. They're starting to fear Allah, they're starting to feel a little one, but you don't even know that. And your job is to influence them. Now, the reason I wanted to point all of this out and I'll be done in five minutes is as

follows.

In the the kinds of things we invest in as Muslims now, right, we invest in Muslim institutions, right, or we two kinds of things Muslims generally invest in, we invest in community institutions around the world. So there's a local masjid, whether it's a masjid in Pakistan, or a masjid in England, it doesn't matter. Whether it's a mission in America or Australia doesn't matter. It's an institution, we spend to support and build those institutions. Sometimes their educational institutions, worship institutions, etc, etc. Or we primarily spend on crisis. Right, there's some kind of crisis going on in the Oman, we're trying to help as best we can. And we're spending on and

these bolts we call feasibility law. Like the common language we use now for that is feasibility Allah. I want to help you understand feasibility hood, so you can understand feasibility law, the feasibility shaytaan. So you understand feasibility law. There are campaigns around the world that spend billions, billions of dollars, sometimes trillions of dollars, not on institutions.

Not on houses, not not on buildings, not on infrastructure, not on relief work, you know, what they spend on, they call it the hearts and minds campaign.

They want to impact the education system in a country. They want to influence the media in a country they want to make, they want to film the production of movies that have certain kind of messages, because they want certain things to become normal. So there will be billions being spent on normalizing something like the LGBT and multiple multiple acts, top actors, producers, Netflix, Amazon, you know, you know, top top engines in Hollywood are going to be paid top dollar to produce, you know, films, children's movies, like the Barbie movie was a really interesting example of that recently, lots of money being poured in for certain kinds of messages, because they understand

something. They understand the way to build power in the world is to give people flood people with a message. Keep giving them a message the first time they hear it, they'll be like, Oh, that's disgusting. I don't agree. But the millionth time they hear it that will become their new normal.

Keep giving it to them, keep giving them a message, pour the message on to them over and over and over and over again. It's literally like Allah the US we Sufi salute in us. He keeps whispering and keeps whispering and keeps whispering it's literally like Zayn Allahumma shaytani R Milan, the devil beautified their deeds for them. The deed is ugly, but the devil will do enough propaganda that ugly starts becoming beautiful. And your mindset about it changes because you're exposed to it so much. What did the what did what was the objective of the Quran one of its objective Salat Oh dear Tameka. The Quran flooded the Valley of Makkah. Everybody's hearing Quran even people who hate the Quran are

hearing the Quran. They're hearing it by the you know, who understands that a lot better than we do. Christians do. Christians don't spend nearly as much on building a church as they do on spreading Christianity.

They spend billions on spreading the gospel, sending preachers out into the villages in Indonesia, to talk to these poor Muslims and bring them to Jesus. And you can hate that all you want. But they actually invested time and money because they believe in their message. They believe in the spreading of the message. What we haven't done, what we haven't realized is we were supposed to propagate the word of Allah. It's the word of Allah that created such a problem for Makkah, that they thought the only way to solve stop this problem is by killing the Prophet sallallahu was the thing that made Islam and unbearable problem for them was the Quran was spreading. That was the

unbearable problem. And the Quran was spreading to all three segments of society. The Quran was spreading to the top elite of society, the smartest people in that society, the poet's the politicians, the billionaires, they were hearing about the Quran and it was heading them. Then it was the middle of society, the majority the middle class, they were hearing it and the poorest of society and the Quran was taught talking to them to all three were being targeted by the Quran.

when that was happening enough people from each even if one or two people from the top, a bunch of people from the middle, a bunch of people from the bottom, if every segment of society starts coming towards Allah's book, that becomes dangerous. This is too much. We got a day we're ready to break their own rules. You know what the rules was, we don't kill our own tribes, people, we kill other people, tribes to you. We don't kill our own. And Makkah is a safe place. We don't kill nobody in Makkah. Haram on Amazon. That's actually why all the tribes put their idols there. Because it's like Switzerland, you're safe there. It's a neutral zone. Who are they willing to kill? Rasulullah

sallallahu? Are they willing to torture the Sahaba in the same place where everybody is supposed to be safe? They're willing to break their own rule. Why? Because it's too dangerous. It's too much. Now the thing is when the Muslim mind understands that we are spending on good things we're spending on our children, we're spending on schools, we're spending on massages, we're spending on institution, we're spending on these civilizational things. But you know, what we're not collectively spending on spreading the word, getting the word that was actually the valuable living showerhead alive, get the word out, let everybody hear that actually also requires an investment.

And it doesn't just require an investment of money. One vehicle manager Alico mustafina fee, many of the people that are sitting here, in this Masjid right now are only sitting here because somebody was willing to go out of their way and spread the word of Allah, and ethnicities in countries and regions where Islam was alien to them.

We didn't we weren't born into Muslim heritage. You go far back enough in my heritage tested of Palestine far back enough, we're probably Buddhist, or some other pagan religion, that's probably what we are. You go far back enough in any of your Heritage's, you'll run into non Muslim origins. Right? How did it even get there? Some people understood there's a mission here that needs to spread. And they understood that to be feasible, Allah feasable Allah. I know I said, five minutes, two more minutes. And that is, what is the Quran actually do to a person. Interestingly, this is the the example of spending on this mission is being described as farming. So even if you're spreading

the word of Allah, and you're like, oh, there's so much Dawa going on. But there's still so much corruption, nothing is changing. Yes, very nice. You should have said that to new holy Salaam.

He was printing a lot of data for 950 years was corruption changing? No, but he still understands that's his mission, isn't it? I suppose I said, I'm spending spending so much time giving the best data possible, the Quran itself from the mouth of the recipient of the Quran in Makkah, and things are not getting better things are getting worse, you should have been standing there so much who changed? What's the point? This is for the what's the point people?

Just why don't you take this comment back to what our Dean actually teaches. The point isn't for you to see results, the point is for you to plant a seed, and the return on that seed, you're not expecting it here.

Your job is to plant the seed and the way that Allah will grow that seed here and in the next life, and when he will grow it, that's up to him. That's not up to us. You could plant a seed now. And maybe it grows 50 years from now. You can plant a seed now. And maybe Allah decides to grow 200 years from now, as a possible Yeah,

absolutely. It's possible. You could plant a seed now. And because you didn't have the right intention to dies underneath, nothing happens with it, that can happen too. It's not up to us. But you know, in any person, when the seed of the man goes inside them, something starts growing inside them. And that's why in SOTL felt the same way investing in this mission is being described as farming the same way, the development of a believer is being described as farming too. So at the end of SoTL, fat, Allah compares the development of a believer to a crop that is growing carefully, and a farmer's carefully growing and producing this crop. And it's maturing, right, there's a tie

between the both of these things, because our purpose is actually not an economic purpose, or a social or a political, you know, you know, kind of the identified agenda. Our objective is the transformation, the growth of a human being, to take the seed of fitrah that lies inside every human being, and allow it to grow, allow it to flourish. That's so it's an agenda of transformation. The greatest miracle of the seed of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam is the transformation of those people, they transformed into something completely different than what they were before, because the seed of the man was inside, and it grew into something incredible. You know, your job was raw

earlier, he will be he will go far. That's the mission that we all share, actually. And even the institutions that we build, may Allah protect our massage or schools or Dawa institutions, or you know, Islamic educational organizations. But now

We need to have a shared agenda and that shared agenda is bringing about a transformation through the word of Allah. If the word of Allah isn't at the center, if the word of Allah isn't being shared, then what's what's what's even the point? What's the it's a tragedy to me that we can build the house of Allah everywhere in the world. And for generation after generation, after we build the house of Allah, children from that community, don't know the word of Allah forget the non Muslims, no Muslim kids in those communities for generations. If you say, Hey, can you tell me what's in Soto Baqarah? Are we don't do that.

I know how to make will do though. I will show you that. I'm pretty good. I will do.

Okay, well, that was important. That's cool. But we'll do is a means to something. I know how to pray. What do you say the prayer? I don't know. We didn't learn that. I just know what to say. Okay. What does it mean that you said, I don't know. I'm not a scholar.

As to share.

This is all right. This is our attitude. How are we expecting everybody else to be impressed with this message? And we're not even giving the message to our coming generations? How is that going to happen? We need to come back to those roots. We need to plant the seeds properly. And may Allah azza wa jal multiply every one of our efforts in ways we couldn't imagine some of our some of our efforts, you're not going to see any results of them in dystonia, you'll only see them in the akhirah. Some of the things you spend, you might even see some effective it in dystonia. Some of those efforts, your children's children's children's might might see the effect of them. And then

there are some efforts that are so huge, that you didn't see or grant nobody saw, but it was related to you. And you come before Allah and judgment day, and that one seed, everything else grows, and there's one thing is going up into the sky. Like what is this? Oh, that was something you did. That was one seed you spent that return, this is what law you'll die fully Manjusha we don't know which of our deeds Allah will multiply it with an extra special flavor of his that will turn into something else. But I pray all of us and all of this other code that we do the in fact that we do. The mindset with which we do it is something accepted by Allah azza wa jal, and I pray that we are

able to come closer and closer to a unified agenda as Muslims, so we don't see our organizations as competing with each other. We see them as part of delivering a message to the entire world where we learn to cooperate with each other, we learn to take best practices from each other. Instead of oh, this this machine, oh, they bought that property. Oh, we gotta get a bigger place.

Or this school has this many kids, we gotta get more kids in our school. Stop thinking of these efforts as competition. You know, if it's one agenda, then it's not competition. It's cooperation. Allah says about to go far. Barbu Malia Obama, they are willing to remember I started with this they're willing to each other. We were supposed to be well, my opinion I will not be not Bahama Lea Oba we're supposed to have that Willa Mercer supposed to have more of it. They cooperate with each other because they hate Islam.

You're supposed to cooperate with each other because you love this Deen. You have love for the Word of Allah. So may Allah azza wa jal truly make us out to each other BarakAllahu li Welcome to the Quran. Al Hakim. Wonderful anyway, you're coming out with the color scheme. Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.

Salam Alaikum everyone. There are almost 50,000 students around the world that are interested on top of the students we have in studying the Quran and its meanings and being able to learn that and share that with family and friends. And they need sponsorships which is not very expensive. So if you can help sponsor students on Vienna TV, please do so and visit our sponsorship page. I appreciate it so much, and pray that Allah gives our mission success and we're able to share the meanings of the Quran and the beauty of it though
