			Salam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh once again, I would ask me that a Shakeology has now been
handed in I mean, we don't want to mean well I prefer to have been with terpene last Sunday with
cinnamon barichara avocado silica Mohammed in Salalah. While he was alone
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:42
			he was lucky he was so them to see him in the cathedral. So firstly, I want to start off with the
bad news. The bad news is that this is the last likely reflection that we're going to have. The good
news is that it's because of Ramadan is around the corner but the nine times so I want to thank
everyone hamdulillah that's been tuning in on a regular basis and inshallah tada we'll see how we
continue these after Ramadan.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:01:20

00:01:21 --> 00:01:24
			And then Thursday night, inshallah tada at 10pm. Eastern
		
00:01:26 --> 00:02:06

And we'll probably still have some evening reflections in the last 10 nights maybe a midnight
reflection as well in Charlottetown, but we'll try to keep in touch. Of course the angel series will
also be debuting in sha Allah to Allah for the first day of Ramadan and we'll be releasing everyday
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:45
			inshallah 30 episodes that Not to mention the different content that will be coming out through your

for continuing to tune in Charlottetown tomorrow for the Ramadan prep webinar. Then Thursday as we

well for those that are coming in in this status for you to put a donation in shot let's add that

So those that start Friday and the day and those that start Friday night tada we inshallah tada so
		
00:02:45 --> 00:03:26
			if you go ahead and put your pledge in there, you won't be charged until Ramadan inshallah tada so
that'll give you a boost in Ramadan inshallah tada which subaqua one of the blessed ways to start
Ramadan inshallah to Adam. So with that being said, it connects to this topic today. And this is a
beautiful story about ideal, the Allahu Tada, I'm home. And it's more than charity. It's more than a
story about Sobotka, it's really a story about how a person is in pursuit of a loss of mercy. Now,
you might remember another thing from it, it'll be a lot more than who we spoke about a few nights
ago where I needed a lot of time and it was said a lot has hidden two things within today. And one
		
00:03:26 --> 00:04:09
			of those two things was that Allah has hidden His pleasure within his good deeds, so you don't know
which one of them encompasses the pleasure of Allah subhanho wa Taala so you have to do as much as
you can and count on the laws mercy to accept one of those be the night Allah at least with your
sincerity inshallah. And so and so you do your best to go and look for the mercy of Allah subhana wa
to add this is a narration from it but Ibis will be a lot of time I'm home that I need all the
allow. I'm had four dead humps now for dead homes means he wasn't that rich, he only had that he
could make use of. So he took those four dead homes. He gave one did home in the night. And then the
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:45
			next day he gave the second home. And then he gave a did hum someone secretly, and then he gave a
little hum alania publicly to motivate others. So the prophets lie some of them, told him or asked
him what caused him to diversify his Ford that hums Why did he give one in the night, one in the day
and then one secretly, and then one publicly, right? And he said he also a lot I'm searching for
Allah's mercy in these different places. And so this is, according to this narration moving on
bustled de la adho. When Allah Subhana Allah to Allah revealed alladhina Yun, Fiona and one of whom
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:59
			the lady would know how someone Wallonia that those who spent of their wealth in the night and in
the day, someone Wallonia in private and in public and
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:27
			And Alice covers these four things, and a loss of anti assess for the home modular home. And that
will be him with a hold on it him with me. I said, Oh, and so they have their reward with their
Lord, and there shall be no fear upon them, nor shall they grieve. So according to this narration,
imbecile, the law and who this was a response to the action of ideal the law. Now, what's the lesson
that we can take from this, and I'm going to go quick, because my, clearly my internet is in and
out. Number one,
		
00:05:28 --> 00:06:07
			what we can take from this is the is the idea that you don't have to have a lot of money to give
charity and a lot of people are going to feel the pinch of Ramadan, because they're dealing with
some financial difficulty in this era right now. It's not about quantity with Allah subhanaw taala
it's about quality. And so it couldn't be the simple deed that gets you into Jenna. So that's the
first thing. Number two, if you see people that are looking for these different ways to to show
themselves not to the people, but to Allah subhanaw taala the nature of what added all the love and
who did is so beautiful, because it speaks to that idea of trying to distinguish yourself and trying
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:43
			to plant your seeds and all of the forms of good, diversifying your portfolio of hassanal to your
portfolio of good deeds with Allah subhanaw taala with the two consistent ingredients of sincerity
and being in accordance with the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So the fact that
I did all the long time who was planting the seeds in four different places, to see which one of
these four homes would unlock that mercy of the loss of Hamilton as a result, all of them, all of
them were included. And when you read that idea, and it's inserted a bucket on right, leaning on the
corner, and one of them below you in the heart symbol on Wallonia it gives you the idea of a rich
		
00:06:43 --> 00:07:20
			person, a wealthy person that's spending their money on all these different fundraisers and things
of that sort. But it was a man who just had four dead humps, but he spent them wisely and
beautifully pursuing the mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And that's something that's important for
us to take into consideration, as well. It's not about the quantity, it's about the quality of the
deed, and more importantly, the quality of your heart when you're doing that deed for the sake of
the loss of Hannah Montana, trying to seek a loss of hundreds as mercy. And so this Ramadan, in
particular, by the way, you're most likely not going to be praying in a Masjid where you'll have
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:57
			fundraisers and people saying, raise your hands and you know, people looking around and saying how
many people are going to raise their hands, you're not going to have the typical motivations that
might be there externally to push you over the edge, so that you could give here or give there. But
I want you to think strategically about your supplicant and plant your seeds of charity, but in the
nighttime in different places, seeking Alas, pleasure. Sometimes you might do something as a public
fundraiser, that include others and say I donated to this cause you donate to this cause as well.
And I hope that your game Institute will be one of those causes, but in the nighttime, sometimes it
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:33
			might be secretly might be for the same cause but you only make some of the public to encourage
others and then you make some of it private. Sometimes you encourage your family sometimes,
sometimes you don't even tell sometimes you don't even tell your family that you've given for the
sake of a loss of habitat. So diversify your portfolio of good May Allah subhanaw taala allow us to
live to see this Ramadan and accept this animal Dawn from us, again in Chatelet to Allah please make
sure that you go ahead and put in your donation that would be charged on Friday night inshallah. So
whether you're starting Ramadan, on Friday night, ie Saturday morning or Thursday, night and Friday
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:47
			being your first day of fasting, this is a way to springboard in the first of what I'm about and
shall let's add, and Zach mylol Hayden, I'll see you all tomorrow for the webinar inshallah and
hopefully my Wi Fi won't be acting up inshallah, up close equals to that one day Come on, I have to
live with
