			Brothers and sisters, I want you to think back to the images that we saw of Hajj. This particular
year we saw that blessing group of people, those few that got to do the law and got to enjoy an
empty hedge the way that they did the image of that janitor that was in front of the cab all by
himself, the image of that woman making them out all by herself. The few that got to go to Missouri
never we were typically you have the crowding in Nevada. It was nice and beautiful and empty. And
now the gates of Amara have opened up as well. And a select few people have been chosen to go to the
house of Allah subhanaw taala for oma and you see the images and it looks so tranquil, so beautiful.
		
00:00:54 --> 00:01:43
			And if anyone has ever been to specifically, method, an Obi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and Muslim
Nebo is just a place of tranquility, no matter how crowded it is. Imagine with so few people there
with COVID I want you to picture this news coming to you. That you are going to get to go to the
messages of the prophets of Allah hardy who was send them for a month, five star hotel, right in
front of the messages. You have your view of the messages, you want to select five times a day, your
work is taken care of all of your other things are taken care of you have a month of access to the
messages of the prophets of Allah Azza wa Salaam. How beautiful would that be? I can see some of you
		
00:01:43 --> 00:02:33
			smiling under your masks, just thinking about the idea of Medina for a month. Without any troubles
going to the messages of the prophets. I saw them praying coming back everything taken care of. And
Subhana Allah as I've heard these words of people craving Ramadan because of how stressed out
everyone is. This had these came to my mind, which says that you will often hear in some iteration
and fundraisers and I've never known this had to be more relevant than it is right now in its
totality to us in our lifetimes and Allah knows best. And Sadie from abnormal the law of China and
humor that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said hadn't been nasty in Allah and Pharaoh in
		
00:02:33 --> 00:03:18
			us, the most beloved of people to Allah are those who are most beneficial to the people will have
been in Allah and the most beloved of deeds to Allah surah Tito who Allah Muslim that you bring
inner joy to the heart of your brother or sister Oh taxi for uncle quarterback, oh, that you or that
you do away with one of their troubles one of their hardships. Oh, technically, I'm who, Dana, are
that you do away with one of their debt debts, I'll tell you the one who you are, or that you do
away with their hunger. So you either bring joy to them, you help them in their time of anxiety. You
take care of one of their troubles you relieve them of the trouble that they're that they're under.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:33
			You do away with one of their debts, financial difficulty or you feed them and then this Hadith of
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam or this part of the Hadith, whether in MC Mr. afifi had a
lamb and Turkey furphy had and most of the Shahada
		
00:03:34 --> 00:04:12
			for me to walk with my brother in his time of need to be with my brother and his time of need is
more beloved than doing RT calf in this mustard, not Valley Ranch resident in Missouri the Nabi
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam for an entire month undisturbed teacup, think about the tranquility that
you would have. Think about the spiritual state that you would be in, you'd probably be closer to
Allah subhanaw taala than ever but Deen is not about what makes us feel good. It's about what brings
us closest to Allah Subhana Hosanna he's saying for me to walk with my brother in his hour of need
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:59
			is better and more beloved to me than doing energy Caf secluding myself in this Masjid of Medina of
mine for an entire month and he said Salalah while he was still a woman kept for Baba saatavilla
woman Kelvin Allah what OSHA and you Leo Amba not Allahu Allah who Amnon Yokoyama, he said sobre la
where it was send them and whoever swallows his anger, Allah will conceal his faults, and whoever
suppresses his rage even though he could fulfill his anger if he wished, meaning he has someone at
his mercy. But he shows mercy that Allah will secure his heart on the Day of Judgment. Allah will
fill his heart on the day of judgment on a day when the hearts are full of fear, standing on that
		
00:04:59 --> 00:04:59
			day.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:11
			Allah subhanaw taala will settle that person's heart on the Day of Judgment. And he continued
Salalah while he was still a woman measure, woman, Mr. Murphy he, he has better hair.
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:57
			And whoever walks with his brother in his time of need until he fulfills his need quite a lot this
last week, there was a webinar for Coalition for civil freedoms about those who are in prison. And
Dr. Asim Qureshi who was a who was himself a prisoner. He said that we forget this part of the
Hadeeth that you walk with a person until you fulfill their need, meaning you do your absolute best
to see the whole process through had a better level, but a lot wiser agenda Kadima who honestly
allottee Yamato zulfi lockdown, Allah will make his feet firm on the slots. On the day when the
feats will be shaking on the day when the feats will be slipping, Subhan Allah, I want you to think
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:41
			about this idea of walking with someone in their time of need. And the fact that the Prophet size on
them is saying that the degree to which you are there for someone else Allah will be there for you,
and how relevant This is to us when we're looking for some sort of peace and trying to deal with the
chaos and have our own hardships to deal with. And then we we see everyone else around us, and they
have their diversified hardships. And there is not a single one of us in here right now, in a time
where people are in anxiety, where there's political turmoil, where, you know, people are suffering
from all sorts of mental illnesses and depression is on the rise and hardship and people are losing
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:51
			their jobs, economic hardship in places where they were settled for years, or people are going
hungry. Because you have a situation now where world hunger is expected to double.
		
00:06:52 --> 00:07:37
			All of us are either in one of those states or know someone in those states, all of us are either in
one of those states or know someone that is in one of those phases right now. And you have an
opportunity to solidify in a way that even being in the messages of the prophets lights on for a
month right now, to solidify the health of Allah subhana wa Tada. And to bring about that
tranquility. And for Allah to remove one of your house, it's one of your needs and your worries,
because you are in the state of removing a hazard for others. And while we might be there for
others, or try to be there for others, and we might not be able to fulfill, we'll be there. But I'll
		
00:07:37 --> 00:08:10
			be there with you the whole way. I'll do my absolute best. I'll try to comfort you, but my comfort
will inevitably fall short. I'll try to support you but at the end of the day, I only have a limited
amount of money. I'll try to bring you food. Some had a lot you know and ici. They did a food pickup
the other day and the lines were crazy. People are hungry right now here, not just overseas, here.
People are starving. I'll do my best but I'm going to run out of food. I'll do my best to relieve
you of your trouble but I'm going to fall short. When Allah is in your hands.
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:13
			A lot never fall short.
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:49
			When Allah is in your cause, Allah subhana wa tada will not disappoint. Because a lot is not
limited. And a lot is not overcome by circumstances. And Allah subhanho wa Taala held his exam exam,
Allah shows exam to the one who shows exam to the one who shows excellence, Allah shows excellence.
And the last exam is not like the accent of a human being. Allah accent is so much more. And so I'm
actively thinking catala How sweet would be right now? Yeah.
		
00:08:50 --> 00:09:26
			a month in a five star hotel in front of the message of the prophets. I seldom How sweet would that
be? Who amongst us cannot fulfill this Hadeeth right now, even if you're in had to yourself, even if
you're in hardship yourself. People are sitting around right now people have extra time extra burden
to panela some people will busy themselves and hurting people. Some people will busy themselves and
observing people, some people will ignore people. Some people will be too disturbed by their own
hardships. Mix yourself, involve yourself. Ask yourself every single day, especially as we're going
through this time, especially as we're going through this time.
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:59
			How can I be in the hands of someone right now. All of these efforts, everything from volunteering
right now to getting the message set up so that we could enjoy Juma to going out and feeding people
to doing the check ins and calling upon people. Every single effort needs more people right now,
every single one of them. You literally could choose an effort if you don't have anyone in your own
immediate circle that you can be in there cause right now every single effort needs extra hands
right now. Extra hearts extra attention. Ask yourself
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:24
			What habit Am I going to fulfill right now? Who am I going to be there for? How am I going to be
there for people, and that is the best way to have the relief in your own life from Allah. The
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he also said in another Hadith, whoever relieves a Muslim of a
burden from the burdens of this world, Allah will relieve him of a burden from the burdens of the
Day of Judgment.
		
00:10:25 --> 00:11:01
			To relieve the burden from someone in this world, means the relief of a burden on the Day of
Judgment. And whoever eases a difficulty in this world, Allah subhanho wa Taala will grant him ease
from a difficulty for dunya when acula in this world, and in the next in this world, and in the next
you might not be able to see it, because you're so distracted, maybe by the five houses that you
have. But there is a sixth one that a lot took care of that you never even knew about. There is a
seventh one, an eighth one, a ninth one, there are harms that were taken away from you because you
were engaged in helping someone else that you didn't even know where to come into existence had you
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:35
			not been there for someone else. And Allah relieves you of that in this world. And another relief in
the hereafter the Prophet sallallahu wasallam said a woman settled on a Muslim and the dunya settled
Allahu Allah He for dunya and akhira. Whoever covers the faults of his brother in this life, Allah
will cover them in this life and in the Hereafter. While law who fear only lab, the Americana lab
doofy only see, most beautiful way to understudy. And Allah is in the cause of helping his app, so
long as his app is engaged in helping his brother.
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:40
			Allah is there for you so long as you're there for your brother.
		
00:11:41 --> 00:12:18
			See it all the way through? Ask yourself right now in these critical days, where everyone's thinking
about self preservation, what are the conversations I'm down? What are the conversations I need to
protect myself? If things get crazy? How am I going to protect myself? What are the conversations
I'm looking at my wealth? What are the conversations? How am I going to pay this bill? Oh,
everyone's talking about self preservation if things go even crazier. Don't think about self
preservation right now. Because when you preserve others, Allah preserves you. When you work for
others Allah subhanho wa Taala will be working for you engaged in your costs and a lot so Jenna will
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:59
			be rewarding you may Allah subhana wa tada allow us to always have his divine aid. May Allah
subhanho wa Taala relieve our burdens in this life and in the Hereafter cover us in this life and in
the Hereafter May Allah subhanaw taala allow us to only busy ourselves with the people to the extent
that it is pleasing to Him. May Allah subhana wa tada allow us to serve Him by being in the cause of
our brothers and sisters, wherever they are a May Allah Subhana Allah forgive us for our
shortcomings in regards to our duties and obligations to him and to his creation as he assigned them
a lot. I mean, a whole lot of stuff a lot. He will accompany certain Muslim infested little little

do not leave this cotulla without crafting a plan for yourself to check on those that you know need
to be checked in on to engage in some of the efforts that are taking place right now. There's
everything from feeding refugees, to checking up on the elderly in our community. And do not do not
like this is to handle at the most basic part of it all it starts with this. It starts with this
		
00:13:42 --> 00:14:07
			when we're hurting the shape, balmy instinct is for us to hurt others. The prophets lie some of them
said if you cannot do anything good Leone, seek that harness hold back your anger from people don't
hurt people. Don't hurt people. If you can't think of anything good to do right now, don't harm
people don't make things more difficult for people, men County, you know, rely on the woman
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:37
			or your smart, whoever believes in the law and the last they speak well or just be quiet. If you
can't contribute, think about the way that you might be contributing to harm. Don't harm, don't
harm. If you can't think of anything good to do because our natural instinct is harm. When we feel
harmed, harm, harm and be harmed and the profits licensing law without the law, do not harm or
reciprocate harm. So at the bare minimum right now, let's be charitable with each other.
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:56
			Let's be merciful with each other. Let's call upon each other. Let's be more generous with those in
our household right now. Because everyone is holed up and you're hearing about marital issues now
and you're hearing about family issues now that didn't used to exist before. COVID be more generous
to the people in your household right now.
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			Be more understanding
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:35
			You're hurting, don't hurt them. Let them get a comment here, there. It's okay. You know, let
someone say something that might you know, it's alright, I'm gonna let that go. Because right now
when it's a time of hardship, somehow people are processing in different ways. And every time you
find the instinct to respond or to to inject harm, instead of inject either relief, because you
can't find the capacity to inject either relief, but you find the natural instinct to just inject
harm. hold yourself back. And remember the message of the Prophet sallallahu wasallam for a month.
Yeah.
