The history of Islam is discussed, including the use of messengers to inform people of potential destruction of society and the law of Islam, which states that society will eventually be destroyed if there is no return to normalcy. The speaker emphasizes the importance of warning people of potential consequences of their actions and the historical context of Islam, including the loss of beliefs and the rise of depression. The use of "orth shifts," which is a way to get people to feel, is also discussed, including the negative impact of loneliness on people's emotions and behavior.

the subject of anatomy? My intention today is to speak with you about the tail end of it number 57
of solid units, and then remind you of where we started
		
00:01:26 --> 00:02:03
			in Iowa number 58, where Allah azza wa jal tells us that we should be overjoyed, filled with joy and
the last few hundreds This is the fifth of them, have been talking about how Allah has given us a
different set of ingredients and how to find happiness in life. What I'm going to start with today
is going to seem unrelated to these ayat and as the as the book continues, you'll see how all of it
is connected. Allah azza wa jal did not send our messenger as the only messenger not going to be
dominar Rasul Allah ma going to be Domino's, who tell them I am not a new invention from among the
messengers, meaning he's part of a chain of messengers, but cofina Allah fit him Allah says, Allah
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:08
			continued the chain of messengers, one after the other. And the final one of them is Muhammad Rasool
Allah and Allah.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:46
			But there are some differences between what Allah has given our messenger and the way Allah has
described the revelation given to our messenger, so Allah, Allah to them, and what happened with
previous nations. And what Allah has told us about those previous nations have a common denominator,
there's something that he tells us that happened over and over again, with those previous nations.
So very briefly, when nations in the world became so corrupt, and so evil, that they were on the on
the verge of being destroyed, when they because of their own evils, because their own crimes, and
because of their own corruption, it came to the point where those societies were going to collapse.
		
00:02:46 --> 00:03:28
			This, by the way, is the law of Allah, when a tree becomes corrupted, and it's not getting the right
nutrition, it's going to eventually collapse. If a body is not taken care of, it's going to
collapse. The same way we have laws in you know, in physics and medicine and chemistry in the
sciences, the same way they are moral laws of Allah, if a society is going to become morally
deprived, then eventually that society will cease to exist. This is the law of Allah, that society
gets destroyed. And what Allah did right before those societies were about to get destroyed, as a
last effort to save them from themselves, Allah would send them messengers. And those messengers
		
00:03:28 --> 00:04:03
			would come and they would warn them that the way you're heading, you've been deteriorating, but this
is coming to the point of no return. If you don't listen to this warning, and turned back to Allah,
then you will, in fact, be destroyed. So the way we have to understand Allah as messengers, all of
them, the ones that Allah talks about in the Quran, is that when they came, they came to save those
nations from themselves. They came to save those nations from what they were how they were actually
destroying themselves with their own hands and heading themselves into destruction. And they
wouldn't listen. And in fact, they would become worse than they ever were when the messengers came.
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:41
			So they were already pretty bad. But the messengers instead of having them turn in the right
direction, they turned far worse in defiance, and even tried to kill Allah's messengers. At the very
least make fun of them, humiliate them, etc. So the one who's trying to save you is now the one
being attacked even more. And that is when Allah decided that these nations should no longer exist.
And those nations got destroyed one after the other after the other until we get to our messenger
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and he sent to Quraysh who are at the peak of their corruption. And
when they see the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam calm, and he's warning them of the
		
00:04:41 --> 00:05:00
			same corruption that other nations look, I'm not the first one to warn you. There were other nations
and you pass by the ruins. You know, you've seen the remains or the you know, the terrifying remains
of what happened to the people in Libya. You pass by that? You know what happened to the people
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:37
			of the fit, Arlen, you'll see when he would make reference to these things, it was not just to tell
them lessons in history, it was telling them you're heading down the same road stop. And he was
trying to save them. And that's the word of Allah coming and reminding them. So even when the Quran
was giving warnings, when someone is giving somebody warnings, who's heading down to a very bad
path, then those warnings are not an act of hate or anger, those warnings are an act of love. You're
warning somebody because you care about them. I knew a doctor not too far from here in different
city, who is the cardiologist? Right? And a lot of because he's Pakistani, so a lot of Pakistani
		
00:05:37 --> 00:06:09
			families, they bring their older parents who have heart issues, or whatever, they feel more
comfortable with a Pakistani doctor, so they take them to him in his town, right. So he gives them
advice, you need to stop eating more oily food, you have to do this, you have to do have very high
cholesterol, your arteries are getting clogged, etc. And they don't listen. They don't live, they
just and then they just they keep doing the same thing. And the next time you look another if you if
this doesn't go down, we're gonna need surgery soon. Right? And they're not listening. So what does
he do? He went when an old woman, you know, you deserve respect. The older these come to him, and
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:35
			they haven't been listening for six months. So he literally tells them, so I'm telling your son to
prepare for your janazah because you're going to die. And here's how you're going to die. This is
what's going to happen first. First, you know, you're going to feel a little bit of pain in your
chest. And he starts graphically describing a heart attack, and how it's going to affect the brain
and how you're going to be immobile and terrifying. She's like, you're such a terrible doctor. I was
like, Yeah, I'm sure is such a terrible patient, you need this.
		
00:06:37 --> 00:07:12
			And then they start actually changing course. It's like and, and because, you know, sometimes
patients they go to the doctor, the doctor gives them bad news. Like I hate that doctor, I need a
doctor, that gives me good news. You know? So the one who's giving you what the situation is, you
know, you hate him because he's telling you a harsh reality. That's why a lot of people hate the
weatherman. There's a storm coming change the channel. I don't wanna listen to this guy always
giving me good news. He's trying to warn you of something that's coming. So the Arabs have an old
saying, you know, hydro honeybee ketones, the header of the saying that, you know, everybody comes
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:51
			to the cow and it milks the cow and they're nice to it. But one guy yanks the cow all the time, and
he's abusive to the cow. But when the nice one comes, the cow starts beating him. But it's like I'm
the nice one. Are you kidding me? I'm the one who treats you kindly. You know. So the the notion
that I wanted to explain to start off with today is that Allah His messenger came to warn the
operation of something that was good that was going to happen because of their themselves. And they
will refuse to listen, they refuse to comply. And then Allah has told them over and over again, that
this is not the way Allah would warn previous nations. Once they were they were at a point of no
		
00:07:51 --> 00:08:35
			return. And once a mess by the way, once a messenger makes migration, New Holland Silla migrated,
loot La Silla migrated, he was told leave, Musa acela migrated he was told leave, right? So he was
told to leave in the middle of the SCBA body laden, right leave when a messenger is told to leave
you know what happens to the nation that's left behind, every single time. Every time a messenger
leaves, the nation that is left behind is drowned, is flooded, is rained upon by fire is completely
destroyed. You understand that right over and over again? And what did our messenger do SallAllahu
from Makkah, what did he do? He left he went to Medina and he did exactly the same thing that know
		
00:08:35 --> 00:09:14
			how the Islamic done that loop and he said Ahmed done you know he had he did exactly the same thing
that Lusaka Islamism and in the case of Musa means I'm in a coma Cameroon, you shall be followed,
usually followed and then the pharaohs drowned. And the Quraysh follow the messenger of Allah so
Allah so I'm trying to find him to try to kill him. They literally did what the people have found it
they followed the pharaohs way down to the tee, then what should happen to them? If they're acting
in this way, they should be dealt with in the same way that all those other nations were dealt with.
So technically, once the messenger moves the medina Maka should be the people of Makkah should be
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:51
			annihilated. They should just they shouldn't exist anymore. But Allah azza wa jal described in the
Quran before this is even in Makkah, before even leaving and there's a remarkable that Allah did
this and sutra man and right before it he explained himself and sort of comment there next to each
other these two swords and in suit of armor we hear these words, you know, Allah says, what are the
essential Quran and the decree for Helmand with Dhaka? When a conditional Quran and the decree for
helping motorcade and these are followed by what previously was before these phokeethra can either
be one other How was my punishment dad so he destroys he destroyed he's described tells us how we
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:59
			annihilated the people of Norway and then says for Keifa can either be one of those How was my
punishment? And then this is one of the essential core analytic we made the Quran easy
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:36
			remembrance. Why is he mentioning the Quran right after he tells us he destroyed the people of Nora.
Then he destroys the people of Iran and he says what are the essential core analytic? Then He then
tells us he destroyed the people of the moon. Then he says what are the essential Quran LiveChat we
made the Quran easy for members, we made the Quran easy for members over and over again every at the
depth of every nation. He mentions, what is our core analytical? And you start wondering, why is he
saying this? What's the what ties the nation defamations the annihilation of nations and the
remainder of the Quran? What's the connection between the two? Well, in the next Surah, from the
		
00:10:36 --> 00:11:15
			very beginning is the answer key or nano animal Quran or rushman? Animal Quran? What are the most
famous sutras that every Muslim knows? One of the lessons Allah is teaching us is that you are
receiving the the revelation from Allah, just like all the previous prophets gave revelation to you
from Allah, this messenger Muhammad, Allah, Allah, Allah isn't just getting any revelation. He's
getting Quran. And Quran didn't just come from Allah. You could have heard it Allahu Allah Al Quran.
Allah could have highlighted any of His Names that talk to Quran. He highlighted the extremely
loving and caring one talk to Quran because had it not been for this domain because Allah has all
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:57
			those names. It won't be gone. I love the Quran. And Jabbar Allah Quran could Hadassah Hey, Leah who
who will Jabbar and who will Kui allies is under the who was on Twitter, all of those attributes
belong to Allah, the One who can take vengeance, the Mighty One, the powerful one, the authority,
those are all true, but he highlighted one dimension one one name, when it came to teaching of the
Quran, which is a rough man to illustrate one thing, that the Quran is a different revelation than
all the other revelations of all the other prophets. Those revelations when they were denied nations
were destroyed. But even the worst of the nations the Cornish who tried to kill Allah's Messenger,
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:44
			Salah Larson, and by the way, once the nation tries to kill Allah's Messenger, they're done. They
get they get fear, that's like the ultimate high crime as far as Allah is concerned. And yet, Allah
did not destroy them because of the unusual way in which the Quran is Allah. Allah, Allah, His
Messenger was given something that was never given any to anybody before him. He was given this
extra dogma. And that alone should make anybody who believes in this book, this messenger, be filled
with joy that Allah has given this OMA, the book, the revelation that has more Rama than any before.
And it even showed more Rama to the criminals, that Rama that was never shown by Allah to any other
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:57
			nation before. And they're the worst of them the worst, the worst of the worst, or the courage, the
worst of the worst, or the one off up. And even Finally, when the time for their punishment came the
way Allah delivered that punishment, even that
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:40
			even that had Allah's Rockman and mercy in it. So the first point that I wanted to make Allah said
the last of the fourth components of happiness was a commodity bottom dollar become, which he felt
when the mafia pseudo well hidden, were crushed moto Rama has come to you. You don't even realize
how Allah is how much leniency Allah has given you that has never been given to anybody before. How
much care has has been put in to give speaking to you? And so let's try this. Let's leave Quraysh
alone. Now let's come to ourselves. We live in a time where depression is very common. We live in a
time where feeling lonely, feeling isolated, feeling misunderstood, feeling frustrated, feeling
		
00:13:40 --> 00:14:21
			somebody nobody, nobody cares to listen to me. Nobody cares to understand these kinds of feelings
are very common. Right? And people live in their heads now. Right? And thoughts like no one loves
me. No one cares for me no one you know, all that stuff is just circling in somebody's head. And
here Allah brings his word and says and this is true why did by the way why do people end up feeling
these waves? You can you know the they have this this thing in many cultures. Even in Arabic they
have you know, phrases like and poetry around the same notion like why limo reminder to Naomi in
front of Mr. Decide who Rahmani welcome limo human of Milka wifey Paloma coffee and other coffee
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:56
			attend her journey. Right. So I taught him archery every day. So he's a poet saying that he had
somebody that he took in, gave him love taught him taught him archery, and when a sharp became
perfect, his first target was me. Right? And then he says, I taught him everyday how to make the
best kinds of poetry to make the rhyme and the meter perfect. And when he got good at spitting
rhymes, the first poetry he made was dissing me. Right. So what is he talking about? treachery. You
love someone, you care for someone, you invest yourself into someone, you pour your heart into
someone, you trust someone completely, and they betray your trust, and they're the ones that hurt
		
00:14:56 --> 00:15:00
			you the most. Right and you're like, how could you do this?
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:34
			To me, I did so much, I poured myself so much into you. And here's how you repay me with with more
pain than even an enemy wouldn't cause me. People that don't like me from a distance couldn't hurt
me as much as the people that are close. So when that happens enough times or happens bad enough in
somebody's life, you know what happens, they decide to not let anybody close. Because I know what
happens if I let people do close, then then they're the best position to stab me in the back, you
know, so they got their arm around me, so the other arm can stick it to me. So I don't want to let
too many people close, I don't want to trust anybody. I don't want to feel safe around anybody,
		
00:15:34 --> 00:16:12
			because you never know when somebody will turn. And I don't want to tell anybody, anything open up
to anybody. Because if I tell them something, maybe later on, they'll use it to attack me. Maybe
they'll use it later on to humiliate me. So you you become guarded. People become guarded, and they
want to be to themselves. And that's a very scary place and a depressing place to be to be alone.
Human beings are, you know, one of the origins of the word Insan. Is owns, owns actually means
compassion, we feel the need to give love, and we feel the need to be loved. That's a it's a human
need. So when you don't feel that anymore, because you're trying to be safe, you know, you're trying
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:19
			to be guarded. And that's a very miserable place a person can be, then they decide, well, since
nobody cares about me, why should I care about them?
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:25
			Nobody loves me, and I'm the only one who can love me is myself. So I'm just going to do whatever
makes me happy.
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:59
			I don't have to worry about anybody else anymore. These are the formula that develop in somebody's
mind, when they feel isolated. When they're when they're just living in their head. My mother
doesn't understand me, my father doesn't understand me, my cousins don't understand. My brother
doesn't understand me. You know what, they don't really care about my feelings. I'm just gonna do
what makes me happy. And you know, in those moments, you know, what we what is not part of that
equation that Allah sent me? How do I how do I know Allah loves me, and he cares for me. It's not
just some abstract thing. Like in other religions, I know God loves me. I know, God cares when it's
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:03
			not like that for Muslims. You know how it is. Allah spoke to me directly.
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:34
			And Allah spoke to me, and every word he spoke to me is out of His love and care for me. So now,
when I open up his book, I, when I read his words, there's something going on in the back of my
head, that's all there's a switch that's always on, you know what that switch is? Whatever he's
saying. He's saying, because he loves me, and he cares for me. So I'm going to find in these words,
how he's showing me his love and his care. And sometimes what he's saying to you is the opposite of
what you're doing
		
00:17:35 --> 00:18:14
			is the opposite of what you think you want for yourself. And he's telling you, no, you need to go in
a different direction. You need to stop this behavior. This is haram for you. This is schicke, this
is scrofa. Don't do this, do this instead. And you don't see you see you you feel shaitaan makes you
feel that Allah is being authoritative. He's forcing me to choose a path that I don't want to
choose. Or he's making something haram for me that my heart really wants. Know, your heart doesn't
want it. It's the Westwater that you open the gate of what's what's out constantly from shape on.
And he's told it to you so much that you start believing it. subliminal messaging, I'm reminded of,
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:45
			you know, back in the day, when my son, my younger sister, she was really little used to watch you
were watching, you know, TV or something. And back in the day, they used to have these little ads,
they don't do just commercial breaks, right? But sometimes instead, because when you just a
commercial break, everybody changes the channel, when they're watching the match. What they do
sometimes is they'll just slip a little coke bottle at the bottom of the screen. It'll show for a
couple of seconds and it'll disappear. Right? Let's just do it. It's not an ad is the game still
going on? The Coke bottle shows up and it disappears. And my seven year old sister would be like,
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:46
			let's get a coke.
		
00:18:49 --> 00:19:12
			And works, that stuff works. You just slip something in. And she's convinced it's her desire, right?
She wants it. But it was made, the suggestion was made enough times that you accept it. That's
because you're having a if you're not having a conversation with Allah, or if you're not willing,
Allah have a conversation with you, I can guarantee you that chypons having a conversation with you.
And with me.
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:52
			Allah gave us these words, so that this and this is now getting influenced by his words, someone who
actually loves you, someone who actually cares for you. When shaitan gives you, you know, and do
this, it's going to make you really happy. His goal is to make you think that you're doing this for
yourself. So you end up in fire, not in this life, and in the next life. He wants you to be
miserable, not just in the author. He wants you miserable here too. So he wants you to go after
something that's temporarily happy, temporarily, you know, pleasurable, temporarily exciting, and
then immediately followed by endless misery to yourself unto others around you. And the moment as a
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:59
			believer I deeply internalize that the words of Allah are in fact Iran. What he has had
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:03
			Come to me is an act of loving care from him.
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:43
			He because what Rama The master has power, sir. So this is the last thing I'll share with you today.
Then I no longer feel not only do I not feel lonely anymore because I know someone who will always
care for me and is always talking to me and is always listening to me is Allah. He's always he's
always talking to me directly in his words. He's having a conversation with me. He literally taught
you and I have a conversation with him from the Fatiha. He was talking them we were talking, we he
said Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen Arachnida Rahim, Maliki Amin, then we're talking IACA not gonna
do we are going to say it in a certain mystery. You know what a conversation is? Someone speaks then
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:45
			the other speaks. That's conversation.
		
00:20:46 --> 00:21:27
			It's a direct conversation between us and Allah. This is a revolution in even previous revelations.
It's unlike any revolution before it's unlike any religion before that's what Allah gave me in you.
He gave us this key this true key to real serious joy that is locked inside of his book for any who
will seek it which is why this look at the power of this I began yeah Yohannes you unless the
invitation is open to who all of humanity non Muslim, Muslim, Christian Jew, Hindu atheist,
agnostic, used to be Muslim forgot about Islam doesn't know how to pray, but by name Muslim, my
grandparents from it doesn't matter. Doesn't matter what category you belong to. Yeah, you have
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:57
			nuts. People have the Komagata Maru, because she felt really my first solo well, who then was
Ramadan, little mini Ramadan, then he's got a paid now on it. What is that it's a loving, it's an
act of loving care these words for those who truly believe. So I want you to as I as I wrap this up,
I want you to really understand what this last part means. That means Allah will not open up his
loving care to you and me until we're truly convinced not only of him, but we're truly convinced
that it is Rama.
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:35
			If you're not truly convinced that when Allah speaks, he speaks out of love and care for you, then
you're not going to find his love and care. I won't find it. I'll just find rules that are hard to
follow. I'll just find instructions that aren't relevant to me. I'll just find stories I can't
relate to. That's all you'll find because you're not looking the right lenses and on what I call the
switch. And that switch is only for one who truly believes that this is for me. And this is for my
benefit. This is helping me one way or the other. That that healing. That counsel that's been talked
about in previous IOD. Now it's coming to a combination, in fact, the word Rama, you can think of it
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:44
			as the all inclusive word for all the other things that this is described more Ivatan, Rama, Shiva
one
		
00:22:45 --> 00:23:20
			Hodan Rama, like all of them have now been culminated in one word, it's as if, like the summary of
the entire Quran, if you were to think of it is actually Allah showing me how much he loves and
cares for me. Now let's be you know, I've talked about this a million times doesn't matter. The
reminder benefits me and it benefits you the word Rama in the Arabic language which I keep
translating love and care, common trends, common translation says mercy. Yeah, I don't agree with
the translation of mercy. Because the word mercy in English literature is used when somebody gets
spared, like soldiers were about to shoot him, but then they showed him mercy. You know what that
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:59
			means? They let him go. Or the cops pulled me over. But man, that officer was merciful, which means
he didn't give me a ticket. He let me go. My teacher was merciful means he didn't fail me from the
class. In other words, Mercy gets used in English when something bad is about to happen, and then
somebody spares you being spared from something bad. That's not the word Rama. The word the word
Rama doesn't have to do with being spared fundamentally, the word because the word Mercy has to do
with something negative. And then you got saved from that negative. Yeah, but the word Rama actually
comes from the word ROM, which is the inside of the belly of a pregnant woman, the womb of the
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:42
			mother. And in the womb of the mother, a child is not being spared. A child is being cared for
provided it's safe from every side, it's being fed, it has no concerns. Every one of its needs, the
ones it does, and by the way, the child isn't even conscious yet. Yes, the child isn't even aware
that it has needs the child isn't even aware that it has to eat or drink or be protected or stay
secure. And without it even asking or knowing what it needs. It's being taken care of. That's that's
not a ham. And from it in the Hadith Bootsy Some may look at this me, right Allah talk to the womb
of the mother and said I named you by my own name. Why? Because there's a deep connection between us
		
00:24:42 --> 00:25:00
			understanding that word and understanding the word Rama whenever it happens in the Quran. When Allah
is describing Rama in the Quran, he's saying, I don't even know what I need. Just like the baby
doesn't even know what it means. I don't even know how much I'm in need of
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:00
			What he's giving me
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:45
			and how much the Quran can Envelop me can completely cover me from all sides from things I need that
I'm aware of, and that I'm not even aware of. Because and all of this is happening at the expense of
the mother, the mother is carrying all the pains, all the burdens. And she's doing it for a child
that's never thanked her. For a child that doesn't even isn't even aware that he, you know, she
exists. He's not even conscious of it. And with every growing day, her burden increases, the demands
from the child are increasing, it's getting heavier, there, her back is bending more, right, its
demands are increasing, and so is so she's giving it more, and it's giving her only more pain.
		
00:25:46 --> 00:26:28
			And at the same time, it's only more unaware of her. Yet her love for the child is increasing even
more. Now she's even more protective of where she walks, he's looking for like sharp corners on
tables, and avoiding them. And she's sitting on sides that maybe need to be comfortable, you know,
constantly worried about the health and praying for the child. This is actually an illustration
because when we learn about the relationship is similar in that sense. Allah only gives and he gives
and gives and he gives. And Allah and the ultimate giving from Allah is his own words. Like he chose
to speak to us. He knows other ways of teaching people lessons, he doesn't have to just have to use
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:56
			words. There are other ways to teach people lessons, you know, that are hate previous nations, they
didn't want to hear the prophets. Allah showed us he has other ways of teaching to those of you that
come from you had your early education in Iraq, or you had it in Philistine or you had it in Syria,
or Pakistan, or Bangladesh, or, you know, Indonesia, Malaysia, wherever, many countries or Muslim
countries, the teachers, when they teach the child a lesson, and the child doesn't understand, they
have a different aspect of their curricular methodology.
		
00:26:58 --> 00:27:07
			That gets the point across, there's a way to teach you, you know, one little knock on the back of
their head. And this poor kid goes now I understand. Now, multiplication is very clear.
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:28
			So there's a teacher who's kindly explaining, kindly explaining, and as a teacher who can teach by
force, you don't want to get it one way, I'll discipline you another way. And Allah has shown us
actually in his book, that there are people who didn't want to listen and he taught he doesn't let
them with force. He did it. That's that's happened before.
		
00:27:30 --> 00:28:07
			And in our in the case of the Quran, the Quran, reject the word of Allah. And he explains another
way they reject he explains the way he warns them another way it gives them another story gives them
another soul. And so many of the solos have similar subject matter. You see that in American Quran?
You ever wonder why? Why is the same thing being said again? Why not? La salaam, again, why they
mention of both again, why the nation of solid why the national show I already got this in a
different color. Why is it happening again, because this is the first salute ayat, were and Allah
will repeat was somebody full if we're explaining the ayat we're repeating the I will bring them one
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:47
			way or the other, maybe one way will touch their heart or the other. This is the dogma of Allah in
the Quran. So when he says that, I'm telling you, you and I are exposed, we're in the we're in the
media age. This is my last words to you today. We're in the media age and the media age, because of
your devices in mind. We're constantly being fed something. You're watching a tick tock video,
you're watching a feed, you're watching a little meme, you're watching something makes you laugh.
You're constantly being fed, fed, fed and fed. Right. So your your ears, your eyes and your heart
are filled with distraction and sore mind where they're filled with distraction. And that
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:56
			distraction is actually taking us away from the one thing that and then we wonder why we're not
happy. We have more things now and people ever did before in history.
		
00:28:57 --> 00:29:34
			And people are writing, you know, posting memes about how loneliness is deadly, and blah, blah,
blah. And they're putting their sad story up online, and people are putting sad emojis and you know,
crying tear emojis and everything's become like a digital expression of human emotion. And then can
you imagine there were people that were in talking writing paragraphs about their heartbreak, and
about how broken they are because if somebody hurt their feelings, there were people that were
walking in the in, you know, in the blasting heat, three, four hours to get to a well to pull dirty
water out and walk back three, four hours so they can give their child a sip of water. And then they
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:52
			were saying Alhamdulillah Allah is the best provider and they were happy. They had the word of Allah
inside. They were communicating with Allah. We have everything on the outside. We're sipping sitting
on the couch in an air conditioned room, open, pop the fridge open, sip some orange juice and talk
about how miserable our life is. This
		
00:29:54 --> 00:30:00
			is the irony of it. You know? Why? Because and you can't be you know what this
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:03
			proven, you can have everything and you won't be happy.
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:18
			You can have everything and you won't be happy and you can have nothing and you'll be happy. Why?
Because that's the difference between someone who has the rational from Allah who has a true bond
with Allah who can speak with Allah and they can appreciate what Allah speaks to them.
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:32
			Then someone who doesn't. This is the secret sauce to happiness. This is this is what not only what
we need, only the believers can have it. Only the believers can have it and unfortunately some
believers don't even believe that they can have it.
		
00:30:33 --> 00:31:18
			They don't even believe that they can have it. So let's take a step back. And let's revisit Allah's
word with for the kind of loving and you know, loving and caring gift that it is treated as such.
Bring it back into your life for that purpose and you'll see your life transform. Even if you're
outside doesn't change what's going on inside you will completely change your anxieties, Your fears
Your sadnesses I pray all of them get removed and you just get filled with a feeling that Allah is
Rama is is vast it's endless. What I got a little mini analysis Colby from the line you will be
recognized by the favor of Allah and by as Rama I know I keep saying it's the last thing but I can't
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:20
			help myself this was as I promised lastly
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:57
			when desire came salute Eunice it's makin Quran. Yeah. And in Makkah rasool Allah says that means
being humiliated publicly. Anybody who accepts Islam is being kicked out of their family, they're
getting beat up, they're getting spit out, they're getting cursed. Nobody wants to do business with
them. All kinds of stuff is happening to people because they have accepted the way of Allah meaning
when you accept Allah's Deen, when you accept His words, you need acceptance, love, then you might
get hate from everywhere else. You'll get hate from everywhere else. And what did Allah say to the
believers who are experiencing negativity that they've never experienced in their life? These people
		
00:31:57 --> 00:32:35
			were living a normal life until they became Muslim, you know that right? Everything was okay. They
were okay with their family, their, you know, their their work, they had a normal life. The only
thing that's changed now is the spawn, this messenger SallAllahu. And now all of a sudden, all of
the normal things, all of the simple joys of life have been replaced with daily physical, emotional,
financial, social, psychological torture. Let me told you that every single day, that's what's
happened. This is this is the gift of Islam to them. And we're going to, let's say, we'll be fugly
Lehi will be rocking it you
		
00:32:37 --> 00:33:19
			tell them that by the special favor of Allah, like you got a favorite Ain't nobody else God, and by
a special act of love and care from him, for the guy and he got funny offer and because of that they
should be filled with joy. In other words, the misery on the outside now becomes irrelevant. It
becomes irrelevant because you are inside the ROM, the protection of the word of Allah. You know,
like, if there's really a lot of dust outside, and you're driving the car, you roll up your windows,
and all the dust is hitting your windows, but none of it's coming inside. You're breathing normal.
You're Not You don't have to squint your eyes, you have to do anything. If it's raining outside, you
		
00:33:19 --> 00:33:21
			roll up your windows, you're not getting whacked.
		
00:33:22 --> 00:34:02
			The believer when they have when they're breathing in the word of Allah, then what did Allah give
them that he gave them a deep joy inside, even though the outside was a terrible storm? The
immediate outside was a terrible storm and now it doesn't matter because they have this deep
happiness inside of them that the word of Allah has given them what an unimaginable gift. What an
unimaginable gift who are higher on me my age, my own. He says it's better than everything else.
Everybody else is collecting. Everybody else is finding happiness and all the wrong places. You
people have this malaise, oh, Jamaica, so people really internalize that a lot. I pray that Allah
		
00:34:02 --> 00:34:19
			Allah descends into my heart and to yours that we get a real genuine connection with his words and a
love for that for those words, and a loyalty to those words and a trust in the words of ALLAH and a
real genuine deep love for Allah's Messenger so Allah Almighty sort of BarakAllahu li Walakum for
