AI: Summary ©

The concept of "farticip" in the Bible is used to express pride in the owner of a property or business. It is also discussed that Islam was meant to be for everyone, not just certain cultures. The speakers emphasize the importance of finding a transparent connection between parents and children, sharing one's views on religion to avoid criticism, and finding people who have a strong desire to be replaced by Jesus. The segment also touches on the challenges of learning in a classroom and the importance of sponsor students.

00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			This idea of the sense of superiority over
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:03
			others
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:05
			afflicted this ummah.
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:07
			And this is the exact thing. Oh, I
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:10
			am telling you, Allah pointed out that the
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11
			Israelites had this mentality
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:16
			and Allah corrected that mentality and gave this
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:17
			this deen to the entire world.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			And now, each one of us became mini
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:21
			Israelites.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			Before you begin this video, just quickly wanted
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			to let you know that so much of
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			the work on the Quran has been completed
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			on Bayina TV. I want you to enjoy
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			systematically studying the Quran from the beginning all
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			the way to the end in brief and
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			then in great detail. And to do that,
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:41
			I'd like for you to sign up on
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:41
			bayinatv.com.
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			And once you appreciate what's going on in
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			bayyanatv, I want you to become an ambassador
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			for it and share that subscription with friends
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			and family and give it as a gift
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			also. Thank you.
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			Then we get to this next ayah where
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			Allah says,
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			That is that is the favor of Allah.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:00
			He gives it to whoever He wants.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			And Allah is the owner of the ultimate
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04
			favor. I want you to first understand the
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			meaning of the word fadr the favor, what
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:09
			I'm calling favor. Fadl alizar means if somebody
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12
			has a really long dress or a cloak
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			like royals used to wear clothes, but they
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:15
			used to drag behind them.
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			Right? Or you might see you don't watch
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			movies, but you'll have a royal holding up
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			his garb or the servants holding up their
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			garb when they're walking.
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:27
			That excess stuff is called fadl actually, the
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			excess long part is called fadl. Fawadlululmar
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			is basically profits from your property or your
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			business. So your bonus is a fadl,
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:37
			your bonus or your extra profits, your extra
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:38
			sales are a fadl.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			Or sometimes in America, I don't know how
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			taxes work here, but
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			sometimes the government actually gives you back some
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:45
			money
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			after you pay them taxes. You get a
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:48
			tax return,
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:50
			right? And when you get that return, it's
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			a little bit of a fadl.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			Okay?
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			So that fadl is extra. You didn't expect
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			it. It's more above and beyond.
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			Fabbalahuhu,
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:00
			this is reversed in
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			text sequence.
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			To raise someone above someone else, to give
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			someone an extra advantage over somebody else. This
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10
			is an important word and I'll show you
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:10
			why
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			before I get to this ayah.
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			What did Allah say about the Israelites?
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:17
			He said,
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			I gave you an advantage, I gave you
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			an extra advantage, and I gave you a
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			preference over all other nations.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			That's what Allah told Bani Israel
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31
			He gave them more prophets than anybody else.
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:35
			He gave them more chances than anybody else.
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			They lost the tawrat multiple times it was
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			restored for them multiple times.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			Allah is now using the word fadl after
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:44
			saying
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			first of all he sent a messenger among
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:47
			the Ummyeen
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			and then he opened the door to all
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:49
			nations.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:53
			And that is the of Allah.
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56
			The word fadl is particularly important now because
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			now the fadl has moved.
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			Oh, what just happened?
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			The fadl has moved from one to the
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			other. Now I want you to see one
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			more thing in Surat Al Hadith, this series
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			of surahs. I'll just highlight the bottom of
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:09
			your actually.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:21
			I'll tell you something brief about sultan hadith
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			57. This is 62 that's surah number 57.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			Allah there talks about how
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:29
			nations that came
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			the people of the book, the Jews and
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:32
			the Christians
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:33
			are so
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:35
			confident
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:37
			that you have nothing,
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			that your book and your prophet is nothing.
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			And they have dismissed it because they don't
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			think it's possible that the Umayyin,
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			his Arabs,
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			they're gonna have a Prophet? Come on.
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:51
			Why would they be blessed? What do they
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:52
			have?
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:55
			You know, they couldn't accept that someone from
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:56
			that lower nation
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			could be blessed
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			because of that, they will never even give
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			it time to think about the word of
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			Allah that you've been given.
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			They won't even consider it. It's not even
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:09
			on their radar.
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			And when it's not on their radar, Allah
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:14
			says, one of the punishments of those arrogant
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			people is they don't even get to know
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			that they no longer control or they have
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			never have any control over the favor of
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			Allah and He gives His favor to whoever
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			He wants. At the Mufasool said, The favor
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:26
			of Allah hears the Quran.
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:29
			They don't even know what they're missing.
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:33
			They have no idea. And Allah says, Part
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:34
			of the goal is they won't even get
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37
			the arrogant one amongst them, they will not
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39
			even get to know. They won't even know
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			what they're missing and that's a punishment on
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:41
			them.
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			The ones among them that are curious, Allah
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:44
			will expose them to it and he describes
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			that in other places. But this is among
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:47
			them the ones that are very,
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			you know, they have a sense of supremacy
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53
			and what has been given to Muhammad is
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:54
			inferior.
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			It's less than what they have. So they'll
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			never consider it. Allah says, yeah. You won't
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			consider it, and I I will no longer
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			let you consider it because of your attitude.
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:04
			So that's the fuddl of Allah that they're
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			missing out of. Now look at what Allah
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:08
			says about his fuddl. He says,
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			other places in the Quran. He
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:17
			especially chooses with His love and care whoever
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:17
			He wants.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			And Allah owns the ultimate father.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:25
			He brings into his
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:27
			whoever he wants.
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:34
			Now this idea that this Prophet is not
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:35
			just for the Arabs,
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			he's actually for all of humanity and the
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:39
			doors have been opened for all of humanity.
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:41
			A couple of times in the Quran, Allah
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43
			says this about his prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:44
			sallam. Wabaarsalnaka
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:47
			illa Rahmatan dila aalameen. We didn't send you
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:50
			except as a Rahma for all nations and
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:51
			all peoples.
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:53
			An important thing and another one
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59
			We didn't send you except as a as
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			as except for all of people
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:03
			to give good news and to give warning.
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:07
			Most people have no idea.
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:09
			Now the thing I want you guys to
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:11
			hear, especially the younger students here, the younger
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:14
			college students and young men and women that
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:16
			are here, I want you to understand something.
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:20
			Islam became global. Islam was meant to be
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:20
			global,
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:22
			not Arab culture.
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			Arab culture is Arab culture,
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:30
			and Allah created Indonesian culture. And Allah also
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32
			allowed for Sri Lankan culture to develop, and
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:35
			Indian culture to develop, and African cultures to
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:38
			develop. Islam did not come so everyone around
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:39
			the world wears thobes,
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:42
			and everyone says, Hey, what are people in
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:45
			Sarudia wearing? Let me copy that because I
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:46
			want to be more Islamic.
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:48
			That's not why Islam came.
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			Asadida come for that reason.
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:54
			The you know, we developed this idea that
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			the more you look like an Arab, not
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			even every Arab, the more you look like
		
00:06:58 --> 00:06:59
			an Arab from the Gulf,
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			the more Islamic you are.
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:04
			I don't know where you got this idea
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			from but it's definitely not the Quran.
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			The Sahaba themselves, they went to Rome.
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			Arab Sahaba went to Rome and put on
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:13
			Roman clothes.
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:14
			They did that.
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:17
			Quran gave guidelines on how you should dress,
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			but not what you should wear,
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			how you should wear,
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:24
			how you should wear.
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			And this idea, it makes me sad sometimes
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:31
			because you know sometimes you beat young men
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33
			that don't know any Arabic, they don't know
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			much about their deen but they're rocking like
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:36
			the most Khadija.
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:38
			You're from Kosovo bro.
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:41
			Why are you wearing that? I was like,
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:44
			Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Akhi.
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:47
			No, no, no, that's all I know. I
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:48
			just wanna sound like
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			Oh you could just say bro, you don't
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54
			have to say Yaq he's not more Islamic
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:54
			than bro.
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:56
			It's okay
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:58
			It's good.
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:00
			So we we became,
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:01
			you know,
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:05
			the the idea that somehow copying
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:06
			Arab culture
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:09
			makes you more religious or somehow that's a
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11
			superior culture is actually what Islam came to
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:12
			end.
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:15
			Allah says they began as what? Right?
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:17
			Not
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:22
			They were a culture with no heritage,
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:25
			and Allah decided to elevate them. And by
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:28
			result, he's decided to elevate other nations. But
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:29
			then, here's the tragedy,
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:32
			Who was being taught a lesson in these
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34
			ayat? I've showed you now. Who was being
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:36
			taught a lesson? Who thought they were better?
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:37
			The Israelites.
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40
			So alhamdulillah, we learned that lesson. Now no
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:42
			Pakistani thinks that they're better than Bangladeshis.
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:44
			Alhamdulillah.
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:47
			No Indonesian thinks they're better than the Malaysians,
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49
			or the Malays think, that the Malay Malays
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			think they're better than the Indian Malays. They
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:53
			don't think that ever again.
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:56
			The Albanians and the Kosovans equal in every
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:57
			way.
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:01
			Anyway, the Algerians, Moroccans, and Tunisians, best friends.
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:03
			Nobody thinks they're better than anybody else,
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:04
			you know.
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07
			The and the
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:10
			you know, everybody gets along.
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:12
			We don't think anybody is less than us
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:14
			or more than us, but you know Muslims
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:16
			in India, Muslims in Pakistan,
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:18
			best friends
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:19
			forever.
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:21
			Right?
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:24
			The whole point of this was now humanity
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:25
			will see
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:27
			a people
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:30
			that come from different cultures, different backgrounds, different
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:30
			clothes,
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33
			different food, different language,
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35
			but one thing unites them and makes them
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:37
			equal like nothing else and that's their Islam.
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:41
			And if we don't hold on to that,
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:44
			and by the way, that doesn't mean we
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46
			should all dress the same way, or look
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:47
			the same way, or talk the same way.
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:50
			Allah's design was diversity, that was his design.
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:53
			But when we start
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:54
			celebrating
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:58
			our culture, our heritage as somehow superior
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:00
			to somebody else's.
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:03
			And then what we did is, it wasn't
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:06
			enough that this was happening in our home,
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:08
			or it was happening in our country. We
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10
			wanted to bring that into our masjid,
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:14
			to Allah's house, Allah's house. So now you
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:16
			can have a Masjid in in in certain
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:18
			countries, you can have a Masjid where it
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20
			could be that there's a one community there,
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:22
			the majority in that neighborhood. Right? So you
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:24
			go to Steinway Street, there's a lot of,
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:26
			you know, Moroccans. And so there's a Moroccan
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:28
			Masjid. You can say the Moroccan Masjid. But
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:29
			other people go there too.
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:32
			Right? It's just it's Allah's house, but now
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34
			when what starts happening in some places is
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:36
			when other people go there, they look at
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:36
			them like,
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:40
			brother,
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:41
			that's not how you pray.
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:43
			They won't talk like that to one of
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:45
			their own, but they'll talk like that when
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:46
			there's a foreigner
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:47
			or somebody else.
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:49
			They'll do that.
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:51
			So one thing that became is
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:55
			certain races started becoming uncomfortable with certain other
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:55
			races.
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:58
			But then there's another kind of Fadl. The
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00
			Israelites developed the idea that the ones among
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:02
			them who have knowledge are better than the
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:04
			ones among them whom don't have knowledge.
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:06
			The knowledgeable ones
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:08
			are better than the ones who don't have
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:10
			knowledge. And then they had strong disagreements with
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:13
			each other. So what did Alhamdulillah Muslims never
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:13
			do?
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:15
			If you walk into a masjid and you
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:17
			don't look like, you don't pray like everybody
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			else in that masjid is praying,
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:23
			your beard does not fit the uniform beard
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:24
			standard for that masjid
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:27
			or you you know,
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:28
			we start
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:31
			this guy, I see.
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:34
			Unfortunately, he's going to *
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:36
			because he's not wearing the he's not wearing
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:37
			the gender uniform.
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:40
			Clearly, nobody gave him the memo.
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:44
			This idea of the sense of superiority over
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:44
			others
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:46
			afflicted this Ummah
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:49
			and this is the exact thing. I'm telling
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:52
			you Allah pointed out that the Israelites had
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:53
			this mentality
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:57
			and Allah corrected that mentality and gave this
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:59
			this Deen to the entire world.
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:02
			And now each one of us became mini
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:02
			Israelites.
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:06
			That's the sad thing. It's hard for me
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:08
			to say that, but we have to you
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:10
			can't fix something if you don't identify the
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:12
			problem. There's a hadith of the prophet salallahu
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:12
			alaihi wa sallam,
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:16
			the believer is a mirror of the believer.
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:17
			If there's a stain on here, the mirror
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:19
			will show there's a stain. And the stain
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			that I see that hurts me is that
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:23
			we became either nationalistic,
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:26
			tribal, we became extremely tribal,
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:29
			or we became extremely arrogant in terms of
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:31
			our own religious understanding.
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:34
			I learned from my shaykh, this is the
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:35
			hap, which means that all of you are
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:36
			ba'til heads.
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:39
			You know, the all of you are wrong.
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:40
			None of you can be right.
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:44
			This kind of like us versus them,
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:46
			me versus everyone else, this kind of mentality
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48
			is what Islam came to eradicate.
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:52
			And just think about early Islam for a
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:52
			moment.
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:55
			Just sometimes you should just stop and think
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:56
			about early Islam
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:58
			and you'll be amazed.
		
00:12:59 --> 00:12:59
			When Rasulullah
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:03
			gave his final speech,
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:04
			and he
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:06
			said, The ones who are here should spread
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:08
			to the ones who are not here. How
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:10
			many people were in front of him? 1,000.
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:13
			Are they all the same level of knowledge?
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			The thousands of people. What do you think?
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:16
			Same or no?
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:19
			Some people know more. Some people know less.
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:22
			Then we say, by the way, when you
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:25
			share with someone else, make sure you bring
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:26
			them back so they learn from the proper
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:28
			highest knowledgeable people and then only and don't
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:31
			only otherwise don't share anything, don't say anything.
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:33
			Islam spread organically
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:36
			and Islam somebody knew 2 Surahs, they went
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:37
			and shared what?
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:39
			2 Surahs.
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:42
			Somebody knew the entire Quran, they shared the
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:43
			entire Quran.
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:44
			Somebody
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:47
			knew how to pray, they just taught somebody
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:50
			else what? How to pray. That's it. That's
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52
			what I learned and they shared it. And
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:55
			the knowledge organically started spreading. And that's the
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:57
			early victories of Islam.
		
00:13:58 --> 00:13:59
			They spread in this way. What did we
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:02
			do centuries later? No. No. No. No. No.
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:03
			You can't pray.
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:05
			Well, I can't teach you how to pray.
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:07
			I'm not certified. I didn't get 4 master's
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:08
			degrees in how to pray.
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:10
			I can't tell you how to pray.
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:12
			Me? Teach you Fatiha?
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:14
			No. No. No.
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:17
			When it comes to Fatiha, I know as
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:18
			much as a Christian
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:20
			or a Jew or an atheist. How can
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:22
			I teach? You need to get a certified
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:24
			PhD to teach you how to recite the
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:25
			Fatiha.
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:26
			Crazy people.
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:28
			This this is insane.
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:31
			This is not how Islam began.
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:33
			We took the Fafal of Allah and removed
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:35
			it. People started, they learned a little, and
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:37
			then it puts pressure on me if I'm
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:38
			gonna share it with someone else, I should
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:40
			try to learn some more.
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:42
			And everybody took personal responsibility.
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:44
			What did we do? No. No. No. No.
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:46
			Responsibility goes only to scholars.
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:49
			I don't have to do anything.
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:52
			The average Muslim had to be a minimum
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:54
			level of educated so they can be a
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:55
			contributor.
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:56
			You see?
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:58
			So they can be helpful.
		
00:14:58 --> 00:15:00
			You didn't have to all become scholars. We
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:02
			didn't have to become scholars, but we did
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:03
			have to become learned.
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:05
			And you have to find somebody you can
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:06
			learn from and they can and then they
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:08
			get asked so somebody comes and asks me,
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:09
			I don't have the answer. Now I have
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:11
			to go learn from someone else and then
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:12
			share back.
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:14
			And it wasn't about pride or ego.
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:16
			The problem is when you have one group
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:18
			of people that says, we have all the
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:19
			knowledge, come and ask us, if you don't
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:22
			ask us then you're you're gonna get misguided,
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:24
			then those people develop their own kind of
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:24
			arrogance.
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:27
			They develop their own kind of elite status,
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:29
			which happened in previous religions.
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:31
			There needs to be a
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:32
			a transparent
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:35
			connection between scholars and the people
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:38
			and everything in between, an open transparent connection.
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:41
			And that was what was that's what's missing
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:43
			so far. Okay. Anyway,
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:45
			look at the open invitation. I'll wrap this
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:46
			up quickly.
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:53
			Whoever would obey Allah and the Messenger, whoever
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:56
			Did Allah specify which ethnicity, which nation?
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:58
			The open invite, whoever would obey Allah and
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:00
			the Messenger, then they are among those who
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:02
			Allah has blessed from among the Prophets, and
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:04
			the ones who accepted the truth, and the
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:05
			martyrs and good people.
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:09
			And what a beautiful company that is. Meaning,
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:12
			if you join these people, you're good people,
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:14
			you are considered in the same group as
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:16
			the shuhada, the siddiqeen and you can even
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:18
			join the company of the prophets. You can
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:19
			be with them in Jannah too.
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:22
			(QS. Al Fadhul Ghazal Khademillah 3:5) That is
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:25
			the favor from Allah. Before fadhul again, that's
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:27
			an open invite from Allah. It's not just
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:29
			an invite to accept Islam, it's an invite
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:31
			to eventually be in the company of prophets.
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:34
			What a fadhu of Allah!
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:36
			All the heroes of our history, we can
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:37
			join them.
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:38
			We can be among them.
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:42
			Now the the other side of the fadhan.
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:44
			This is the scary side of the fadhan.
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:46
			Please listen to this. I know it's towards
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:47
			the end of the hour. Listen to this
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:48
			part carefully,
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:52
			please. Those of you who claim to believe,
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:57
			Whoever among you starts walking away from his
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:58
			or her religion.
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:01
			You start taking steps back from your religion.
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:05
			Then Allah will bring a new nation.
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:07
			Allah will bring
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:09
			a new nation.
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:14
			A nation who He will love and they
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:15
			will love Him.
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:19
			Meaning Allah is saying you're taking steps back
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:21
			because clearly you don't love Me enough.
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:24
			That's why you're taking steps back. And if
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:26
			you don't love me enough, there's plenty of
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:28
			people that I will love and they will
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:28
			what?
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:30
			They'll love me back.
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:32
			And if you, if you want to take
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:34
			steps back, that's fine. That's your choice. But
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:36
			the word, the invitation is open to the
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:38
			entire world. You're not a special race
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:41
			that only has to be you. Now it's
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:43
			open to the whole world. So on the
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:44
			one side that's a good thing. On the
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:46
			other side it also makes us replaceable. Do
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:47
			you understand?
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:50
			It could be that the the Pakistanis,
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:51
			the Bangladeshis,
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:54
			the the Egyptians, the Moroccans, they don't uphold
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:56
			Allah's book and Allah decides, No. You know
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:58
			what? I'm gonna replace you with the Germans
		
00:17:58 --> 00:17:59
			in a 100 years.
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:01
			They're they're all gonna be they're gonna carry
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:02
			my religion
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:04
			now. I'm gonna replace you with the Italians.
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:07
			They're gonna carry my religion. He could do
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:07
			that.
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:09
			He's done that before.
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:11
			He's done that before. The tataar,
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:14
			the vast majority of them who slaughtered Muslims
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:18
			were then basically carrying Islam for the next
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:19
			few centuries.
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:24
			Allah will replace one nation with
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:25
			another nation completely.
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:34
			He then describes, what is it that about
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:36
			them that I will love? Why will they
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:38
			replace you? What quality will they have that
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:40
			clearly you don't have? They'll be very humble
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:41
			before believers
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:44
			and they'll be tough against enemies.
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:46
			You know what Muslims became?
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:49
			Really tough against each other,
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:51
			very humble before enemies.
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:54
			Isn't it?
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:55
			Allah says, (QS.
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:00
			3) They'll struggle in the path of Allah.
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:04
			And they will not be afraid of the
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:07
			criticism that comes from anyone who criticizes.
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:11
			They will not be people who fear criticism.
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:15
			Now just internalize these words. How many people
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:18
			take steps back from Islam because they are
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:19
			afraid of what?
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:20
			Criticism.
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:23
			Criticism from the family,
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:26
			criticism from the workplace, criticism from the university,
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:29
			criticism from people riding on the bus, criticism
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:31
			of grit I can't do this thing. I
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:33
			don't you know, Allah says right? You want
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:35
			to take steps back? Your choice.
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:38
			Allah will bring about new people
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:40
			that He will love
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:42
			and they will love him.
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:44
			I met somebody who told me they have
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:46
			a really hard time where they
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:49
			women, for example, they struggle with hijab for
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:51
			different reasons. I've realized that after talking to
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:52
			hundreds of sisters,
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:54
			it's not one reason.
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:55
			And I empathize.
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:57
			One reason though was really epic.
		
00:19:58 --> 00:19:59
			I've never heard that one before, so I'll
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:02
			tell you. I just think that because I
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:03
			come from a country, the women that wear
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:05
			hijab are all villagers,
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:07
			so they're uneducated. So when I see a
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:08
			I see a hijabi woman, I think of
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:11
			an uneducated woman. I don't wanna be associated
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:13
			with uneducated people. That's why I don't wear
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:14
			hijab. I'm like, oh, that's a new one.
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:18
			You're I mean, just honest enough to share
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:19
			with me because most people when they have
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:21
			that kind of an ugly opinion, they don't
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:22
			share it. They just say, I I just
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:24
			you know, something in me.
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:28
			But that's pretty raw. That's, that's honest. I,
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:29
			I respect it.
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:30
			I respect it.
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:31
			And
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:33
			I'm like and on the flip side, you
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:36
			have a young woman who, you know, wears
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:40
			the hijab, gets rejected from college university applications,
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:42
			gets rejected from job offers because she's wearing
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:43
			the hijab
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:46
			and then doesn't Allah keeps opening. He closes
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:47
			a 1,000 doors and he opens a new
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:48
			door
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:51
			from where she couldn't even imagine and she
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:53
			gets her education, gets her education and she's
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:55
			some of the highest ranking PhDs
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:57
			in many countries are hijabi women.
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:00
			Right? And I I look at that and
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:02
			say, okay, here's a person who says, I
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:04
			don't wanna be associated with what?
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:07
			Uneducated people, and that person wasn't able to
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:08
			complete their education.
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:12
			And on the flip side,
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:15
			you got people that are ignorant villagers,
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:17
			the Ummiyyin apparently
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:21
			that are reaching the height of Heights,
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:22
			right?
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:23
			So
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:24
			Allah will replace
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:27
			He will replace individuals, He will replace nations.
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:29
			If that's our attitude, Allah says I don't
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:30
			need your attitude.
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:33
			Take it somewhere else, take it to TikTok.
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:35
			Okay. That's not what he says, that's what
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:36
			I'm saying. Okay.
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:40
			Same words,
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:42
			that is the favor of Allah. He gives
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:44
			it to whoever he wants. Isn't that the
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:45
			word we're studying?
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:48
			Here he said, I've opened it up to
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:49
			all nations. That's the favor of Allah. There
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:51
			he says, by the way, you take steps
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:53
			back. I have many other nations to choose
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:54
			from.
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:55
			That is the favor of Allah. He gives
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:57
			it to whoever he wants. And now
		
00:21:58 --> 00:21:58
			the words
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:03
			and because they are both Huwa, I'm being
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:05
			technical but that's okay. You'll get over it.
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:07
			Both Huwa, it gives you two meanings at
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:09
			the same time. What it one gives you
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:11
			one meaning it gives you is that is
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:12
			the favor of Allah. He gives it to
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:14
			whoever Allah wants.
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:16
			The other meaning is that is the favor
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:18
			of Allah. He gives it to whoever actually
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:19
			wants it.
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:22
			I'll say that again. That is the favor
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:23
			of Allah. He gives it to whoever
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:24
			actually
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:26
			wants
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:30
			it. So that you don't get to say,
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:32
			He chooses whoever he wants. What what can
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:33
			I do?
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:36
			No. You didn't want it
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:38
			because if you want it there's no way
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:39
			he won't give it to you.
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:41
			There's no way he won't give it to
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:41
			you. SubhanAllah.
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:43
			Yeah. There's
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:46
			let me just see, oh we are we
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:49
			okay I want to finish this ayah because
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:51
			I want to start the next session with
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:53
			the next ayah because that's heavy.
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:56
			So Allah's intention
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:59
			Allah wants I translate it Allah wants. Yeah?
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:02
			The want in Arabic is 2 words
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:02
			and
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:06
			So the of Allah is the intent of
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:09
			Allah and the of Allah is also the
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:11
			intent of Allah. But what's the difference between
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:11
			them?
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:13
			I want you to it's a subtle Quran
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:15
			thing because you know in translation you'll just
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:17
			see Allah wants, but I want you to
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:18
			know the difference between them, yeah?
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:21
			So the word comes from shay,
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:24
			shay. You know what shay means in Arabic?
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:28
			A thing, something solid.
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:32
			When Allah has decided something and it's set,
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:35
			it's solid, then you see what word?
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:40
			If you see irada, you'll see Allah wants
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:42
			something but it will depend on you.
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:43
			For example,
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:44
			Allah will
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:46
			say
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:50
			Allah wants by teaching you the laws, Allah
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:51
			wants to make your life lighter.
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:54
			Allah wants to make your life what?
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:57
			Lighter. But whether your life becomes lighter or
		
00:23:57 --> 00:23:58
			not depends on who?
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:02
			Depends on you. Because if you don't follow
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:04
			the laws, your life will not become
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:06
			lighter. But if Allah has the
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:08
			if He does
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:11
			that means whether you apply it or not,
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:13
			your life will definitely become
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:15
			light, it's guaranteed, it's done, it's solidified.
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:16
			But
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:18
			means Allah has made the intent,
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:20
			but now it's up to you whether you
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:23
			want that intent to be fulfilled. (QS. Al
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:26
			Mujadilah: 3) Allah wants to make things clear
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:27
			for you.
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:29
			Allah says, Allah wants to make things clear
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:31
			for you. Is there a part of that
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:32
			that depends on you?
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:35
			It does, doesn't it? You have to go
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:37
			learn, you have to seek that clarity.
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:41
			If you don't do your part, then it
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:42
			will not become what?
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:45
			Clear. If that was the mashiyyah of Allah,
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:46
			whether you try it or not, everybody would
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:47
			have clarity
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:49
			without any attempt at themselves. So that's the
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:51
			difference between and
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:54
			and here, guys, you're distracting everybody.
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:57
			It's okay.
		
00:24:58 --> 00:24:58
			What happened?
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:00
			Nothing happened? This is nothing?
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:05
			3 people I would have tolerated. 4 or
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:06
			5 then everybody's like,
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:08
			what are they talking about?
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:12
			God, this is this is the tragedy of
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:12
			education.
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:14
			I don't get tired of telling the same
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:16
			jokes as you may have already known
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:19
			so I'll tell you the same old joke.
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:21
			It's not a joke. It's actually it's my
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:23
			jokes are actually my trauma is what it
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:24
			is.
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:25
			K.
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:28
			So I made the mistake
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:30
			of teaching an Arabic program,
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:32
			Arabic class
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:33
			in a classroom
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:37
			where imagine my class, my my podium was
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:39
			there and behind me was a giant window.
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:41
			And my students are looking at me and
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:42
			they're also
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:44
			looking out the window.
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:47
			And behind the window in the distance there
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:47
			was a highway.
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:49
			Cars,
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:53
			I kid you not,
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:55
			my students,
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:58
			I could look at their face and tell
		
00:25:58 --> 00:25:58
			if there's traffic.
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:04
			When there's traffic, they're doing this.
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:11
			When there is no traffic, they do.
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:18
			One of my students really likes trucks.
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:20
			I can tell if there's a truck on
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:22
			the highway. He's looking at me, look at
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:23
			me, and there
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:28
			he goes.
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:32
			When you're in a lecture, everything other than
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:33
			the lecture becomes interesting.
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:37
			Poor Balaam comes and talks to Osman about
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:39
			some issue and you're all like,
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:41
			what are they?
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:43
			I want to know.
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:45
			I want to know what they're talking about.
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:47
			If this was not a lecture, you would
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:48
			not care.
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:51
			That would not be important to you. But
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:53
			just because it's a lecture, this becomes zul.
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:55
			You guys know this in Jumah Khudbah. Jumah
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:55
			Khudbah
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:58
			is you know, it's mashaba. Some of you,
		
00:26:58 --> 00:26:59
			you hear
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:05
			Like that's in between your Ashabul Kahf. Right?
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:08
			That's it's Friday, so it makes sense. So
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:12
			But what do people do? They're like, Now
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:13
			who's gonna walk in?
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:20
			And this Masjid is especially challenging because the
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:23
			carpet is very simple. So you can't even
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:24
			look at the lines that go like this
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:26
			and that and make up your own faces
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:28
			in it, you know.
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:31
			So
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:37
			That is the favor of Allah. He gives
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:39
			it to whoever He decides to give it
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:41
			to and whoever makes the firm decision to
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:45
			get it. Shaa strong decision. Will solid will.
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:48
			And Allah possesses the ultimate favor. Many Mufasirul
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:50
			have commented over and over again that the
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:53
			Fadl of Allah is also referring to the
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:53
			Quran.
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:56
			Allah possesses the ultimate favor that is the
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:57
			favor of Allah is the Quran.
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:00
			Is the fadl of Allah.
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:04
			Yazakihim is the fadul of Allah. Yazakihim is
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:08
			the fadul of Allah. Abba'asafil umbeeena Rasulan Rasul
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:10
			himself is in Quranu Yamshi. The Quran walking
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:13
			around is the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasalam. Right?
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:14
			So all of it boils down to the
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:16
			word of Allah and that is the favor
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:19
			of Allah that they're missing out on.
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:23

00:28:25 --> 00:28:27
			of the students we have in studying the
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:29
			Quran and its meanings and being able to
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:31
			learn that and share that with family and
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:33
			friends, and they need sponsorships, which is not
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:35
			very expensive. So if you can help sponsor
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:35
			students

00:28:43 --> 00:28:45
			the Quran and the beauty of it the
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:45
			world over.
