			masala cinnamon baddeck and avocado silica Mohammedan sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and Ernie he also
could be here or sell them to cinnamon kathira panela. This surah Yusuf has so many things that you
know cause us to really take time to reflect, and to see ourselves in the different things that are
happening within the surah the story of use of it his salon, and I want to stay with the brothers of
Yusuf, but I want to stay with them with a very specific question as well. We already established
last night that Allah subhanaw taala forgave them. We already established last night that their Toba
was sincere and that, you know, there's even a group of scholars that said that they were blessed
		
00:00:43 --> 00:01:23
			with Prophethood afterwards. We were we saw all of these different incidents play out in front of us
now. There's one question Subhana Allah that remains. And it's very interesting in the way that use
of it in his salon now interprets the events that happened between him and his brothers, when I say
that the way that you surprise them interpreted them, this is after he has forgiven them. Have you
ever forgiven someone but still held something in your heart? You know, and you still it's still
every time something happens that resembles it, you kind of go back to the initial transgression. So
for example, you know, you forgave someone. But then the next time you have an argument, you say,
		
00:01:23 --> 00:02:10
			See, I know I knew you didn't change. Now, we don't know what played out in Egypt, after the
brothers of use of Isla move there with their families in terms of the very personal family dynamics
and some of the conversations that happened there. But here's what we do know, use the funny his
Salaam, when he mentioned the favors of Allah subhanaw taala upon him, he blamed the shape on for
what his brothers did to him. I'm gonna say that again. He blamed the shape on rather than his
brothers for what his brothers did to him embody another shade upon veiny within the equity, after
the shade bond came between me and my brothers, this is a very interesting point. And somehow it
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:50
			still speaks to the mercy of use of it his setup, right? That use of it his setup did not cast the
blame on them, but he blames it on the shape on now if you look through the story of sort of abusive
you find people actually being self accountable at the end right so the wife of a disease for
example, what does she say? She said that you know when that will better do enough See, you know
what, I'm not going to absolve myself and enough so that amount of time pursue the self can
sometimes command evil so I'm not going to absolve myself the brothers abusive when they speak to
your governing salmon when they speak to us the party and Sarah both times they say we were from ad
		
00:02:50 --> 00:03:35
			hoc Lee, we made the mistake. You don't see them saying it was a shape bond that told us to do it.
Rather they own up to it at the end. And they say to both Dr. Kobani Islam and to use the party
Islam. This was us this one's on us not the shape on but us if it has Salaam says the shape on came
between me and my brothers. The shape bond came between me and my brothers. So Pamela dear brothers
and sisters in the same does the same Jews surah Ibrahim is the speech of shape on the speech of
police. Okay, where a police speaks to the inhabitants of Hellfire in the law why the kamaruddin

			It's unbelievable. It's in the same juice that it believes speaks to His followers in the fire, and
says to them, Look, Allah gave you a promise, I gave you a promise. I never had power over you. I
called you and you listen to me. Blame yourselves. Don't blame me. I have You have no right on me
today. All I did the entire time was I just invited you to commit evil, but you were the ones that
committed evil. How do we balance these two things? The amount of tests gifts of spirituality and
the purification of the soul teaches something extremely important.
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:58
			As hard as the believer becomes on themselves, as self accountable as the believer becomes, is as
merciful they become with other than themselves. That's why for example, you see that the son of
said that, you know, you find multiple quotes, quotes from the scholars of the past, about the
person who makes no excuses for themselves. But they excuse their brothers and sisters 70 excuses
and beyonds and if they can't come up with an excuse to say maybe he has an excuse or she has an
excuse that I don't know. But when I'm dealing with myself, I never blame the shape on. I look in
the mirror and I own it. This is me. I messed up. I made a mistake. But when I'm talking about my
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			brother, I'm talking about my
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:53
			sr, than I absolve them from the sin spamela This is a characteristic we find in the most righteous
people that have ever walked the face of the earth, the most righteous generation of this oma that,
as close to Allah as they became as devout as they became, they never became condescending, or
judgmental, or looked down on the people around them. How easy would it have been? For those people?
The Prophet specifically on the show had done the Sahaba to become so self righteous, that
everything they see around them is It disgusts them now, right? You know, Subhan Allah, I mean, they
have such an eye for their own knifes for their own self, and in looking at their own faults, and
		
00:05:53 --> 00:06:37
			examining themselves and interrogating themselves. But when they look to other people with their
eye, the eye suddenly obscures all of those faults. And obscures those flaws. Isn't that amazing? As
inward looking as they are. They purposefully cover their eyes when they look outward. Yeah, aim in
the NASA lahoma you know, oh, I other people have eyes too. Oh, tongue other people have tongues to
be careful. Misano kinda tough could be out or temporary. inficon Luka Ross, would it nasty and
sooner when I look at an abductee like am I even. But now how about Boolean angel in a car? You
know, the beautiful thing of the mama Shafi Rahim Allah, don't let your tongue mentioned the faults
		
00:06:37 --> 00:07:17
			of anyone else. Because other people have tongues too. And when your eye falls on the fault of
another person shuts your eye, puts your eye back inwards, let it look back in the soul and say, Oh,
I other people have eyes too. You have faults, too. You have flaws, too. And so we find this with
the righteous. And this is used to fit his salon as well. That as little of excuses they make for
themselves. They make excuses for their brothers, they make excuses for their sisters, as tough as
they become on themselves. They become easy with the people, not that they start to lose sight of
head on and head on. Or they start to lose sight of what's sinful and not sinful. Or they start to
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:26
			to let evil you know take place in their presence, but that they separate their brothers and sisters
from the evil and they make excuses for them.
		
00:07:27 --> 00:08:07
			And that is the perfection of their luck, the perfection of their character. So how do I you find
from the sun and also, for example, they talked about, you know, you judge other people by the
standard effects while you judge yourself by the standard of taqwa with yourself. You take yourself
out of the gray area, you don't go for the easiest. You take yourself out of the gray area, you try
to push yourself to higher standards. You try to apply not just the abandonment of how long but the
abandonment of mcru the abandonment of things that are disliked and detestable, not just the things
that are certainly sinful, but the things that might be sinful. But with other people, you know, may
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:45
			Allah subhanaw taala, bless them, maybe they follow a different opinion from a different scholar,
may Allah bless them. The fatwa encompasses them, they have a fatwa that encompasses them, but as
for myself, I'm going to hold myself to a higher standard. So the reason why I bring this up is that
sometimes you can see that when a person makes a mistake, they might immediately start to blame
everyone and everything else around them. And that's what shape it right. It wasn't me it was those
people It wasn't me it was shape on it wasn't me it was the circumstances of how you'll even find
some people that get to the point where they actually will blame Allah, Allah put me in the
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:52
			situation. If Allah didn't want me to commit the sin, why did I get put in the situation blame
everyone but themselves no sense of self accountability.
		
00:08:54 --> 00:09:30
			And you see the opposite with the righteous. They will blame themselves they'll burn out. Well, I'm
not an fusina Oh Allah we wronged ourselves. Oh Allah. We were amongst the wrongdoers in love
tougher than I was on Hamlet on a corner, I'm going in a corner I'm going to hustling. If you don't
forgive us and have mercy upon us, then we will be from the losers. But one is the brothers and one
is their sisters. May Allah subhanaw taala forgive them. Maybe they have circumstances that I don't
understand. Maybe they have bad influences that I don't understand. Perhaps maybe I made a mistake
and I said something that hurt them and I didn't realize that I hurt them. And that's why they're
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:59
			speaking to me this way. Perhaps what I see that appears to be a sin. Maybe it's not a cent maybe,
maybe they're you know, I misunderstood the situation. Perhaps the poverty drove them to that
perhaps the shavon was able to feast on their vulnerability. And so what's the last level of axon
the last level of excellence Let me help that person overcome their shape on not to enter shape on
it as the Prophet sly Some said don't help a person shape on
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:22
			against them. Don't help a person shape bond against them. It's like you separate them from that.
Because shape bond tries to make you think when you sin, that your essence is one of disobedience to
Allah subhana wa tada you have no hope to return back to Allah subhanaw taala and when you pull your
brothers and sisters out of the dark sometimes even after they hurt you
		
00:10:23 --> 00:11:02
			and you still extend your hand to them and pull them out of the dark you tell them that they're
better than the shape on you know your fall was not you That was the shape on but you need to
overcome that shape on now. Pull them out of that by assisting them against their shape on that's
what use of it is Saddam was doing its power law what a man what a man and what you know what good
would it be to us if we read the story of use of it Islam and we're still as harsh hearted towards
the people and not forgiving the way that we learned from use of it has set up what a man his
brothers tried to kill him and use of hiding his salon would not even mention the time that they
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:39
			plotted against them again, because he truly forgave them. And on top of that, he made them feel
like they had hope back towards Allah subhanaw taala the shape on came between us. We don't want to
let him in our ranks anymore. May Allah subhana wa tada protect us from the shape on coming between
us. May Allah subhanaw taala protect our homes from the shape on coming between us and our spouses
and our children and our parents and our grandparents and our uncles and aunts and our cousins May
Allah subhanaw taala protect us from the shape on coming between us and our siblings. May Allah
subhanaw taala protect us from the shape on causing dissension in our ranks. May Allah subhanaw
		
00:11:39 --> 00:12:17
			taala never allow us to be amongst those that refuse to hold themselves accountable, but make us
amongst those that always strive for his pleasure and always own their mistakes and always strive to
get better and May Allah subhanaw taala never allow us to become judgmental or prideful or
condescending that we see our brothers or sisters as less than us. May Allah subhanaw taala forgive
our brothers and sisters all over the world, meaning that we may not well Muslim meanwhile Muslim
out here even home while I'm watching the living believers and the dead ones May Allah subhanho wa
Taala forgive them all May Allah subhanaw taala unite us and that which is pleasing to Him And may
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:30
			Allah subhanaw taala allow us to abide by the law the characteristics that we are learning from the
prophets as we read this glorious quarter Allah I mean or saddam or something bad or Carnaby? No
