00:09:16 --> 00:09:18

00:09:18 --> 00:09:20
			topic of justice, insha'Allah.

			You're getting better with it. Says you can't
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:03
			wait for tahajjud. You're a little bit low
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05
			today. Who is that? Sorry, I missed it.
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:06
			Arisha.
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:07
			By the way, as you guys are coming
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:09

00:10:09 --> 00:10:11
			360 sessions, please take a second to rename
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:13
			yourself on Zoom. I know some very familiar
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:16
			names are joining us very consistently, but,
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:18
			it's good to to to remember where everyone's
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20
			coming in from as well because, mashaAllah, we're
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:22
			corner to corner to corner of the globe
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:24
			just like the Ummah, alhamdulillah, this community.
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:25
			Malika
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:30
			from New Jersey. Delilah from the Philippines, you're
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:31
			getting better. Alhamdulillah. Amazing.
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:34
			Out of curiosity oh, you're unable to turn
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:37
			your cameras on. Let us change that. Someone
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:38
			needs to remind me of the tape.
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41
			Let me just quickly
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:43
			give you guys the ability to do so.
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:44
			Join us on screen. Jazakah will look here
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:46
			for that reminder. Nemo,
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:48
			Leila says today you felt energized. I'm always
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:50
			energized when Sheikh Omar is coming on as
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:51
			well, so I'm excited, I'm glad that you
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:53
			feel that way as well. It's about it
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:54
			from Aya. Aya why you're struggling with the
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:57
			Hajid. I know now the the routine is
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:58
			it's wearing on some of us. Can anyone
		
00:10:58 --> 00:10:59
			share,
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:02
			just some advice that you have for what's
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:04
			your secret to staying productive while you're fasting?
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:06
			How you're maximizing the most of your schedules
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:08
			these days? Any tips that others can benefit
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:10
			from. I find, especially during the Quran reflect
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:11
			sessions that we have every single day, that
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:13
			there is so much good advice that we
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:15
			get from other people, about how they're tackling
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:17
			their their challenges as well. Let's see if
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			what let's see who I
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:21
			protein shakes for suhoor. Okay. Okay.
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:24
			Say that do it after Iftar. Do what
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:25
			after Iftar from Turkey.
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:27
			Welcome. Welcome.
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:29
			Let us know what what it is it?
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:31
			What's your what's your secret? What's your,
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:34
			you know, secret to to getting effective to
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36
			being effective in Ramadan to maximizing your energy
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:37
			to doing the most Ibadah.
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:41
			Oh, as Janet says from New New York
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:43
			that you have a Ramadan journal that helps
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:44
			that helps you,
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:48
			big time Alhamdulillah. Halima from London is, you
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:49
			feel like you're not balancing your routine this
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:51
			Ramadan very well. I can feel that. I
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:52
			think it's a struggle that many others are
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54
			experiencing as well. Jazakamalakha for sharing.
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			Okay. And Leila says, I put an alarm
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:58
			on my phone, like, 1 hour, and then
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00
			when it goes, I do dhikr. Okay, Masha'Allah.
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:02
			Is that every hour, or is that, like
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:04
			an hour before suhoor or an hour before
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:06
			iftar, all blessed times. Halya, you set a
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:08
			timetable with a to do list. That's amazing.
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:12
			Hassan says colostrum and dates, mashallah.
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:15
			Amina says caffeine pills during suhoor. Okay, that's
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:17
			another I've heard those before, subhanAllah.
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:20
			I know some folks like, will like to
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:21
			break up their tasks into
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:23
			manageable chunks and just break up their day
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			a little bit so that it's more they
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:26
			can be more effective during those periods of
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:28
			times. I know there's a lot of, like,
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:31
			productivity apps and tools out there that people
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:32
			are using as well to kinda stay on
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:34
			top of things. Yes, Ramadan Journal, amazing to
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:35
			hear it,
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:37
			Masha'Allah, a lot more folks have joined us.
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:38
			Welcome, welcome,
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:40
			for those who are joining us for day
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:42
			number 17. It's getting scary because we're getting
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:44
			really, really, really close to these last 10
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:46
			nights, and we have a surprise with Amalgib
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48
			as we always do with our final webinar
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50
			for the last 10 nights insha'Allah, so look
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:51
			out for that,
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:53
			this upcoming Saturday, mark your calendars, we'll share
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:56
			more about that later inshallah. Just another boost,
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:58
			another effort to make sure that you guys
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:01
			are maximized and energized before you go into
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:03
			these lesson nights. You're changing your routine for
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:04
			a week to stay up from Iftar till
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:05
			suhoor,
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:07
			for the last 10 days, that's good. Masha'Allah
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:09
			Layba, amazing to hear. Okay, awesome.
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:12
			I think part of what helps keep us
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:13
			going, at least, I don't know about you
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			guys, but for me is having a daily
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:17
			kind of routine of coming to Ramadan 360
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:19
			and having this motivational reminder just to keep
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:21
			me going, give me one more
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			way to connect, to feel energized in my
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:25
			ibadah, or to give me inspiration in my
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:26
			duas. Alhamdulillah,
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:28
			that has been a huge blessing
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:30
			in this community as well, for sure.
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:34
			And I see, mashallah, many more of you
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:36
			guys are joining us for today's 17th day.
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:37
			And I know many of you are really
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:40
			excited and looking forward to having Sheikh Omar
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:42
			Suleiman join us. I mentioned to you guys
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:43
			as well throughout,
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:45
			the, you know, the Huayta sessions and throughout
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:47
			the past few days that that we have
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:49
			many charity partners who make Ramadan 360
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:50
			possible every year,
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:53
			and today's charity partner that we're gonna highlight,
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:56
			it's Islamic Relief Day, Islamic Relief Canada Day,
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:59
			at Ramadan 360. So, we wanna definitely highlight
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:01
			some of the amazing work that they do.
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:02
			And I know a lot of you guys
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:05
			have questions, especially with, you know, like the
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:06
			the insanity that we've been experiencing Gaza and
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:09
			all the the difficult information that we've been,
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:11
			hearing about the the the starvation and the
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:14
			famine and so many, like, you know,
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:17
			impossible words that we're seeing all attributed to
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:19
			the same suffering of the same people, our
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:19
			brothers and sisters.
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:22
			And we are hearing so much information about
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:23
			how aid is not getting in and they
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:25
			don't have access to the necessities of life.
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:26
			Alhamdulillah.
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:28
			There are some charities and we've been very
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:29
			careful of the charities that we work with,
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:31
			mashallah, have had,
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:34
			have presence in Gaza well before October 7th
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:37
			and well before this, this current, you know,
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:39
			genocide that's happening. So Islamic relief Mashallah has
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:42
			been in Gaza since since 1997, since basically
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:42
			my entire lifetime.
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:46
			So, mashaAllah, they've built a whole infrastructure. They've
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:48
			built systems in place to make sure that
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:51
			they're assisting and relieving some of the suffering
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:51
			of Ghazans,
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:55
			well before this conflict took place. And alhamdulillah,
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:57
			they've been well equipped to then take on
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			a lot of the the challenges of getting
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:01
			aid into distributing aid, getting resources and food
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:04
			and water, that a lot of other, you
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:06
			know, folks that have been trying to get
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:08
			in with all of their their fundraised aid
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:11
			have had struggles with. So that's one of
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:13
			the big, benefits of supporting Islamic Relief. I
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:15
			know Fazleen has dropped that link. Please do
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:17
			keep that link in your mind today, and
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:19
			please donate generously. It's islamicrelief.
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:20
			Caforward/amagrib.
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:22
			I know it says dot ca, but it's
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:24
			accessible for anybody around the globe. You can
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:26
			donate wherever you are, Insha'Allah. And one of
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:27
			the things that we try to do in
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:30
			Ramadan is to maximize and to diversify our
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:31
			donations. So I encourage you guys to make
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:33
			this effort one of them. We know, subhan'Allah,
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:35
			the facts just get worse and worse and
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:37
			worse coming out of Palestine that over 74,000
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:40
			Palestinians have either been injured,
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:42
			oh, sorry. They've been injured and 32,
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:45
			almost 33,000 have now been killed. And this
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:47
			this status is from a few days ago.
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:49
			So every, if subhanAllah used to have a
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:51
			poster at the protest that I had all
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:52
			the statistics of the amount of injuries
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:55
			and deaths and children and everything. And every
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:56
			single time I used to go out, I
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:58
			had to keep updating it because the numbers
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:01
			just keep, subhanallah, increasing and increasing. So now
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:03
			at this stage, 1 in 25 people in
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:05
			Gaza are now either injured or killed. That's,
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:07
			like, harrowing statistics. And we know that, you
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:09
			know, over almost 2,000,000 people are on the
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:11
			brink of famine right now. So it's an
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:14
			emergence or emergency emergency situation, and,
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17
			we're blessed to have folks on the ground
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:19
			like Islamic Relief who are able to distribute
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:21
			aid, who are able to they spend
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:24
			$30,000 a day and increasing on just on
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:26
			on hot meals in Gaza and Ramadan for
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:26
			Ithar
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:27
			and Suhoor.
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:30
			So if you're if you're supporting Islamic Relief,
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			especially through us, especially through this time, please
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:35
			know that it's going towards a great cause.
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:37
			And they have a lot of statistics,
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:39
			especially because we have all this information about
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:40
			how it's difficult to get Aidan of exactly
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:42
			where the money has been going and exactly
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:45
			how they've been utilizing the resources that you
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:47
			guys have been donating through. So please consider
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:49
			supporting them. I have a quick reminder inshallah
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:50
			coming from them, and then we're gonna be
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:52
			jumping into our session in a few minutes.
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:54
			So, look forward to that. But for being
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:56
			with us, and we'll be I'll see you
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:57
			guys soon inshallah at the end of this
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:58
			reminder.
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:00
			As
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:02
			a we've been in a
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:07
			state of heartache for 5 agonizing months.
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:10
			For 5 months, we have not just observed,
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:13
			we have borne witness to the atrocities
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:14
			and devastation
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:17
			our brothers and sisters in Gaza are facing
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:18
			each passing day,
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:20
			leaving us shattered.
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:26
			Hamid beer, down somewhere.
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:37
			The cruelty that the people of Gaza are
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:39
			experiencing at this very moment,
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:40
			the suffering,
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:41
			the brutality,
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:44
			is unlike anything we've seen before.
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:49
			Many of us have loved ones still in
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:52
			the heart of Gaza that we worry about
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:52
			daily,
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:54
			myself included.
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:57
			The prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said,
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:58
			the Ummah is of 1 body.
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:01
			If one part is in pain, then the
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:03
			entire body is in pain.
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:04
			I,
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:05
			we,
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:08
			feel that now more than ever.
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:14
			Sometimes it feels like we can do little
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:16
			from our corner of the world,
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:18
			but every effort counts.
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:21
			Alongside raising funds,
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:25
			Islamic Relief has advocated fiercely, demanding a ceasefire
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:26
			and arms embargo,
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:28
			going to parliament
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:30
			and talking to those in power in the
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:31
			Canadian government
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:33
			to push for change.
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:36
			We've worked with other Muslim organizations here in
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:38
			Canada to aid recent evacuees,
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:41
			ensuring that the families are supported
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:44
			with all their financial and resettlement needs. And
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:45
			back home in Palestine,
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:48
			Islamic Relief is on the ground now,
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:51
			having continuously provided aid since 1997.
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:54
			We have offices with staff and volunteers
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:57
			who have been distributing all emergency food and
		
00:19:57 --> 00:20:00
			medical supplies that we've previously stockpiled
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:02
			and continue to procure
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:04
			every day since the escalations began.
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:08
			We are working alongside the Ministry of Health,
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:09
			UN Humanitarian
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:10
			Organizations,
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:11
			and local partners
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:14
			to ensure that your donation reaches the most
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:14
			vulnerable
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:18
			through medical aid, water, food, and fuel.
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:22
			Islamic Relief is committed to allocating all collected
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:23
			donations
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:26
			at every opportunity we can to fund both
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:29
			immediate emergency aid and long term recovery in
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:30
			Hasa.
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:34
			As a global family, Islamic Relief has been
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:35
			able to spend
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:37
			$13,000,000 to date in Khazza,
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:38
			with $30,000
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:41
			spent daily on hot meal preparation,
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:44
			and that number grows every day
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:46
			through constant support like yours.
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:50
			Please continue to give,
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:52
			continue to advocate,
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:54
			and continue to pray.
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:56
			Together, we can strengthen our solidarity
		
00:20:57 --> 00:21:00
			and keep bringing relief and hope to the
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:01
			people of Palestine.
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:04
			Donate tonight and be a part of the
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:04
			impact.
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:12
			Shazakam alaykum for watching that, brief reminder from
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:14
			Islamic Relief. I know it's difficult to see
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:14
			every time,
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:15
			subhanAllah,
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:17
			to see the suffering and to see the
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:20
			numbers and and and just the the feeling
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:21
			of powerlessness, but this is one way that
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:24
			we can contribute. And alhamdulillah, Islamic Relief is
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:26
			on the ground already in Khan Yunus,
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:29
			in Deir al Balah, in Zawaida and Rafa,
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:31
			delivering daily ready to meal, ready to eat
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:33
			meals. They've distributed 6,000,000 of them so far,
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:35
			and they're also distributing hygiene kit kits and
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:38
			clean water, and having psychosocial support for children
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:40
			from the trauma that they're experiencing right now.
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:42
			So please do support them generously in their
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:44
			efforts. May Allah make it heavy on our
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:46
			skills. May Allah make it accepted and successful.
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:47
			Aminir Belal Amin.
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:50
			With that said, I know we are now,
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:51
			and that's again, the link is islamicrelief.caforward/amagrib,
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:56
			Insha'Allah. And as a community, every year, we
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:58
			come together. I know you guys have supported
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:00
			generously the programs that Almagrib has put together,
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:02
			but I I'm always just humbled by how
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:04
			much good that we can do and how
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:06
			much, subhanAllah, immense,
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:09
			benefit that we can provide and the relief
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:10
			that we can provide to others, in the
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:12
			Ummah who are not as fortunate as us
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:14
			to be comfortable, to be safe, to have
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:16
			shelter, to have food, to have safe to
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:19
			have all their family members living and and
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:21
			and, you know, happy around them this Ramadan.
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:23
			So, I know it's not, you know, it's
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:24
			a difficult message to hear again and again,
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:26
			but may Allah make it easy, for them,
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:27
			it's it's hard for us to hear, it's
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:29
			so much harder for them to experience.
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:32
			With that said, we are now on, on
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:34
			a we're covering a very apt topic for
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:36
			today on day 17th of Ramadan 360. And
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:38
			for those who haven't been new, who are
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:39
			newer to this experience, or who are still
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:42
			joining us more recently for 22 years, Ammagrib,
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:45
			has has, you know, been
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:47
			using we're working towards our goal of making
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:49
			Islam easy and accessible for the masses and
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:51
			providing you guys with authentic knowledge in a
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:53
			way that you can relate to. And alhamdulillah,
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:55
			Sheikh Omar Suleiman has been one of the
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:57
			the major sources of that through Al Maghrib
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:59
			and for the entire Ummah, alhamdulillah. He's been
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:02
			an instructor with us, for I can't I've
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:03
			lost count of the years now, more than
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:05
			half of that time for like 13 ish
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:07
			years, subhanAllah. He joined us in 2011,
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:09
			and he's been teaching classes since then. And
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:11
			I know, Sheikh Omar doesn't love,
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:13
			these bios and I'm sure he can probably,
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:15
			I don't know, he'd probably be a millionaire
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:17
			if, for every time he heard the, you
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:18
			know, I, you know, he doesn't need to
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:19
			be introduced,
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:22
			he needs no introduction, etcetera, that part of
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:24
			the bio. So I will introduce him, this
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:25
			time. You've heard a little bit about him
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:27
			already. Of course, he's the founder and president
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:30
			of Yaqeen Institute For Islamic Research. You know
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:31
			him through his being an imam at Valley
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:34
			Ranch Islamic Center, an activist and active voice
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:36
			for us in the entire Ummah, during this
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:38
			genocide and full of theme. And alhamdulillah, as
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:40
			I mentioned, an instructor with Almagrib Institute, for
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:42
			over a decade now. He's taught I I
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:44
			was pulling up the numbers. He's taught over
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:46
			90 programs, not counting this stuff, not counting
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:48
			all the appearances that he's made through Ramadan
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:51
			360, through our webinars, through, you know, all
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:53
			these bonus sessions that we make available to
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:54
			the public. This is just full classes that
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:57
			he's taught, alhamdulillah, with us to benefit the
		
00:23:57 --> 00:23:59
			Almagrib student body, and
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:01
			he teaches courses on Almagrib online for on
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:03
			topics like tazkiyah and finding your Islamic purpose
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:06
			and, you know, spiritual conditioning and others. Many
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:08
			of you have already taken or you've benefited
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:09
			from those topics and hamdah through him. And
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:11
			of course, he tours on-site with us for
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:13
			ilm nights around, Canada, the US, and UK,
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:15
			and the world at large. The latest couple
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:17
			have been on, the story of Ayuba alayhis
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:19
			salam and the promises of Allah. And Alhamdulillah
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:21
			today, he's back with us to be covering
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:23
			the topic of justice, that I think we
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:25
			really need to hear from, subhanallah right now.
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:27
			Jazakkumullah, for making time to be with us,
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:29
			In your busy schedule, Sheikh Omar, it's a
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:31
			pleasure to have you back on Ramadan 360.
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:40
			Alright, Sheikh. I know I've taken a little
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:41
			bit of your time this hour so it's
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:43
			a pleasure to see you and it's a
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:43
			pleasure to to
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:45
			have you back with us for a student
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:47
			audience. So I wanna pass it over to
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:48
			you inshallah to start benefiting us on the
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:49
			topic of justice this
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:54
			Bismillah. Subtitles by the Amara dot org community.
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:57
			Subtitles by the Amara dot org community. May
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala accept all of your
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:02
			fasting, your recitation, your duas, your sabaqah, your
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:04
			piyam. May Allah make it heavy on all
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:06
			of your scales. May Allah
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:07
			allow us to
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:09
			collectively, but the night,
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:11
			manifest
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:13
			that I will that we seek in the
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:14
			world and
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:17
			be a source through our duas of Rahma.
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:19
			For our brothers and sisters in Gaza. May
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:22
			Allah alleviate their pain. Allah grant them victory
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:23
			over their oppressors.
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:27
			This nasal sound is just the Dallas allergy,
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:29
			so don't worry. I'm okay. I know that
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:30
			a lot of people are gonna be wondering
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:31
			what's going on. I'm just getting hit by
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:34
			the pollen of the spring time here in
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:34
			Dallas.
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:39
			Sister Hafsa Zakhmaloha to the Al Makarib team
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:40
			for having me,
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:41
			for
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:44
			topics that's extremely relevant to the moment, and
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:46
			it's relevant to every moment. But, I think
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:49
			especially right now, when it comes to the
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:51
			pursuit of the pursuit of justice,
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:53
			you know, so often we look at what's
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:54
			happening
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:55
			far away from us, and
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:58
			that can do 2 things. It can paralyze
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:00
			us in regards to our efforts
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:03
			with our brothers and sisters overseas.
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:05
			It can also make us distant from the
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:08
			immediate actions that are needed to be taken
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:10
			so that we could, ourselves, be people of
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:12
			added be people of justice and make sure
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:15
			that we're not just looking at the bottom
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:17
			in the TV screen or in our computer
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:18
			screen or phone screen,
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:21
			and cursing that bottom. But that we're also
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:24
			interrogating the potential Vadim that's in the mirror,
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:26
			potential oppressor that's in the mirror. And that
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:28
			oppressor could even be just an oppressor to
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:29
			ourselves.
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:32
			And that's especially true in Ramadan, where we're
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:33
			supposed to be so much more introspective.
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:36
			So, SubhanAllah, I wanted to talk about an
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:38
			ayah that, is very near and dear to
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:39
			me, but I wanna give it a little
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:40
			bit more context,
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:42
			when it comes to the story of its
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:43
			revelation
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:47
			because it's it's so profound. It's so powerful.
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:48
			You hear it in
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:51
			every Jummah, almost every Jummah.
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:53
			And this is something that we trace back
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:54
			to
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:57
			in terms of its usage, every single Jummah.
		
00:26:58 --> 00:26:59
			It's
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:00
			such a comprehensive
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:03
			of the Quran, and the fact that the
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:04
			Salaf saw it as fitting
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:08
			to remind people of it in Jum'ah, which
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:10
			is supposed to be the greatest reminder, right,
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:11
			that weekly reminder
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:14
			that we are all supposed to have to
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:15
			be remembering Allah
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:16
			in the hereafter,
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:20
			speaks volumes about how weighty it actually is.
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:23
			But there's a story behind its revelation
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:27
			that is deeply profound, and it involves a
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:29
			very interesting companion of the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:31
			Wasallam. So it's earthman.
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:35
			And then mother is very different from earthman.
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:37
			I found will be allah. And
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:42
			And one thing I've noticed about companions that
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:44
			share a name with a much more famous
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:45
			companion
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:48
			is that their stories are that much more
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:50
			likely to be diminished. Right? So, you know,
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:51
			I I mentioned the and
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:55
			Khaled ibn Said being one of the first
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:57
			Muslims. Right? The first Khaled and one of
		
00:27:57 --> 00:27:58
			the first Muslims.
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:01
			The same thing is true definitely for Ifman
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:02
			ibn Madhurun,
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:06
			That had his name not been shared with
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:08
			Uthman ibn Affair
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:10
			I think he would be a lot more
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:10
			famous
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:13
			in our in our redeem.
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:14
			And
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:16
			I say that, you know, noting by the
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:19
			way he's he's, you know, according to many
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:21
			scholars, the 14th or 15th person to accept
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:23
			Islam. So he he and his wife Kholeb
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:23
			bin Hakim,
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:27
			known as the matchmaker,
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:29
			are, the matchmaker of the prophet,
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:31
			the one who actually suggested,
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:33
			our mother, Aisha,
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:35
			and so that
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:36
			to the
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:40
			prophet are 14th, 15th converts to Islam. Right?
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:42
			So they're that early into Islam.
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:44
			Ifma
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:47
			is the brother-in-law of Omar Khattab
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:50
			Okay. So he's
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:51
			actually,
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:52
			Omar's,
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:53
			wife,
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:57
			Zainab bin Ben Arun. So Omar's wife's brother.
		
00:28:57 --> 00:28:59
			So Omar's brother-in-law through his wife Zainab bin
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:00
			Ben Arun.
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:04
			And he's the uncle of Hafsa and Abdullah,
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:05
			may Allah be pleased with them both. So
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:08
			he comes from a strong family, obviously, a
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:09
			family that's rooted in
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:12
			very strong principles and morals.
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:14
			Again, I think that when we look at
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:15
			Umar Khattab
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:18
			and what he went on to become, this
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:19
			is something I mentioned a few times in
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:21
			the in the Ramadan series this year,
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:23
			you know, of how he sort of took
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:25
			his background and he turned it into a
		
00:29:25 --> 00:29:26
			force for good rather than a force for
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:27
			evil.
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:29
			There are strong beliefs
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:31
			within that family. What I mean by strong
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:32
			beliefs here
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:34
			is that whatever
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:35
			they believe,
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:38
			you know, whether good or bad, there's a
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:41
			strong sense of dedication that you find within
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:43
			that family altogether. Right? And that's for for
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:45
			good and for evil. In the case of
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:46
			Uthman Minaroon,
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:51
			he's someone who was noble before Islam,
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:53
			and so the notion of justice
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:56
			resonated deeply with him,
		
00:29:57 --> 00:29:58
			before Islam.
		
00:29:58 --> 00:30:01
			And you you you essentially find that, you
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:02
			know, there are people
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:05
			the majority of whom who accepted Islam,
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:07
			you know, that were from the Mustafa Afin,
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:09
			that were from the weak and the vulnerable,
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:12
			that immediately found truth in the Adil of
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:14
			Islam, found truth in the justice of Islam,
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:16
			and found much relief in it, and they
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:18
			are the majority. And then there's this small
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:19
			group of people
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:22
			that would have benefited from the injustices of
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:23
			Jahiliyyah,
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:25
			but that had an aversion to it because
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:27
			of their fitra, because they were noble already
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:29
			on the inside. And Allah
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:31
			came to polish those gems, or sent the
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:34
			revelation to polish those gems through the messenger
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:34
			of Allah
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:38
			and to make them the luminaries that we
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:41
			have today. So UHman belongs to that latter
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:43
			class. Right? There are people that are on
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:44
			the other side,
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:46
			right, that are from the elite class of
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:49
			Mecca that could technically benefit from all of
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:51
			the exploitation, that could benefit from all the
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:51
			tribalism,
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:56
			But they're the types. They're the types that,
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:58
			you know, that want to take part in
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:00
			these packs of justice, that want to live
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:03
			up to a reputation of justice and that
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:04
			ultimately feel like,
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:06
			you know, there's something inherently wrong with the
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:08
			exploitation that exists in society.
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:10
			And of the size of his nobility is
		
00:31:10 --> 00:31:13
			is, you know, that Earthman of and was
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:15
			one of the few people who wouldn't drink
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:16
			alcohol before Islam.
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:18
			And he said, why would I do that?
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:19
			He says, you
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:23
			know, why would I drink alcohol
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:26
			and lose my mind and then cause people
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:27
			that are lesser than me,
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:30
			to laugh at me. Right? Because of being
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:32
			being an idiot. You know? Why would I
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:33
			be a fool like that? So so you
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:34
			can kinda get an an idea of the
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:36
			personality here.
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:39
			All of that to introduce the aya, that
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:41
			we are mentioning today. There's narration from
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:44
			that the Prophet
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:46
			was sitting in Makkah,
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:48
			in in in his courtyard,
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:50
			and Uthman ibn Uthman
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:53
			passed by him, and he smiled at the
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:54
			prophet
		
00:31:55 --> 00:31:58
			So the prophet said to him: Why don't
		
00:31:58 --> 00:31:59
			you sit down with me?
		
00:31:59 --> 00:32:01
			So I said, of
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:03
			course, oh, messenger of Allah. So I sat
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:04
			down with the prophet
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:09
			and he said that suddenly, while I was
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:11
			with the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:13
			while he was speaking,
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:15
			the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:18
			suddenly his attention turned towards the heavens. Right?
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:20
			So the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:22
			looked away from me and he stared at
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:23
			the sky.
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:24
			And the beauty of the prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
00:32:24 --> 00:32:26
			wasallam was or one of the things that's
		
00:32:26 --> 00:32:27
			very beautiful about the messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam,
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:29
			of course, that he used to make eye
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:31
			contact with you, when he was speaking to
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:32
			you. So suddenly the vision of the prophet
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:34
			turned towards the heavens,
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:36
			and clearly the prophet
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:37
			was receiving
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:38
			revelation.
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:41
			And so I asked the prophet
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:44
			you know,
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:47
			what is it that happened?
		
00:32:47 --> 00:32:49
			And the prophet said:
		
00:32:52 --> 00:32:54
			The messenger of Allah came to me just
		
00:32:54 --> 00:32:55
			now and and when the prophet SallAllahu Alaihi
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:56
			Wasallam says, Rasulullah,
		
00:32:57 --> 00:32:59
			when Rasulullah says, Rasulullah, who's he talking about?
		
00:33:00 --> 00:33:02
			He's talking about Jibri Alaihi Salam. Right? So
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:04
			the Rasul to the Rasul is Jibreel. So
		
00:33:04 --> 00:33:05
			when he says,
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:08
			he's saying the messenger of Allah being Jibreel
		
00:33:08 --> 00:33:10
			Alaihi Salam came to me
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:11
			and
		
00:33:11 --> 00:33:12
			he revealed
		
00:33:13 --> 00:33:14
			to me these ayahs
		
00:33:15 --> 00:33:17
			in the or this ayah in the
		
00:33:28 --> 00:33:31
			and joins justice, and doing good,
		
00:33:31 --> 00:33:33
			and spending on your relatives, and he forbids
		
00:33:33 --> 00:33:34
			indecency
		
00:33:34 --> 00:33:35
			and shamelessness
		
00:33:35 --> 00:33:36
			and tyranny,
		
00:33:36 --> 00:33:38
			and he warns you so that hopefully you
		
00:33:38 --> 00:33:40
			will pay heed.
		
00:33:40 --> 00:33:43
			So this verse was revealed in
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:47
			he comments about this incident,
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:49
			he says, what that he can ask the
		
00:33:49 --> 00:33:51
			Karla Iman of you can be what happened
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:53
			to Mohammed and Sallallahu Alaihi wasalam, that that
		
00:33:53 --> 00:33:54
			was the moment that
		
00:33:55 --> 00:33:57
			Iman really settled in my heart. Faith really
		
00:33:57 --> 00:33:59
			settled in my heart, and I really loved,
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:00
			the prophet
		
00:34:02 --> 00:34:04
			So he's saying and of course the scholars
		
00:34:04 --> 00:34:06
			use this narration for multiple things,
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:09
			you know, one of them to say that
		
00:34:09 --> 00:34:11
			there are levels to the settlement of faith
		
00:34:11 --> 00:34:12
			in the heart, that is not just simply
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:13
			I believe,
		
00:34:20 --> 00:34:22
			faith really settled in my heart and there
		
00:34:22 --> 00:34:24
			are levels to loving the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:25
			Wasallam.
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:28
			And that is when he's saying that I
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:29
			truly loved
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:31
			the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:34
			So when it comes to this narration, there
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:36
			are a few things to mention here as
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:36
			well that,
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:38
			you know,
		
00:34:39 --> 00:34:41
			it's one thing to have been present with
		
00:34:41 --> 00:34:41
			the prophet
		
00:34:42 --> 00:34:44
			and to witness them receiving revelation. So one
		
00:34:44 --> 00:34:46
			part of this, what earth man could be
		
00:34:46 --> 00:34:46
			saying
		
00:34:47 --> 00:34:50
			is that it was incredible to me to
		
00:34:50 --> 00:34:51
			be in the presence of the prophet when
		
00:34:51 --> 00:34:54
			revelation came to him or something so beautiful,
		
00:34:54 --> 00:34:55
			powerful, clearly,
		
00:34:56 --> 00:34:59
			not prepared in advance, came to the prophet
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:03
			and with such clarity and coherence and beauty
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:05
			and profundity just came out of the mouth
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:05
			of the
		
00:35:06 --> 00:35:07
			prophet So that's part of the, you know,
		
00:35:07 --> 00:35:09
			the settlement of iman in his heart and
		
00:35:09 --> 00:35:10
			the love of the prophet
		
00:35:12 --> 00:35:13
			But the second part of that is the
		
00:35:13 --> 00:35:15
			nature of the verse itself.
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:19
			Right? How comprehensive this verse was,
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:21
			and how it would speak to
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:23
			a person like Uthmana Bin
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:25
			Meroon
		
00:35:25 --> 00:35:27
			And I say this, subhanAllah, to start with
		
00:35:27 --> 00:35:28
			that because
		
00:35:29 --> 00:35:31
			we're witnessing, of course, in real time people
		
00:35:31 --> 00:35:33
			embracing Islam right and left. I've never seen,
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:35
			subhanahu, so many people embracing Islam.
		
00:35:35 --> 00:35:38
			Many of them are citing, obviously, the resilience
		
00:35:38 --> 00:35:39
			of the people of Gaza,
		
00:35:40 --> 00:35:43
			And in being introduced to Islam through the
		
00:35:43 --> 00:35:44
			resilience of the people of Gaza,
		
00:35:45 --> 00:35:47
			they also come to appreciate
		
00:35:48 --> 00:35:50
			the notions of justice in Islam, the notions
		
00:35:50 --> 00:35:51
			of,
		
00:35:51 --> 00:35:54
			you know, of of moral clarity in Islam
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:56
			that we have, subhanAllah, that are within the
		
00:35:56 --> 00:35:57
			Quran.
		
00:35:57 --> 00:35:59
			They're they're comparing the resilience of the people
		
00:35:59 --> 00:36:01
			of Gaza to their own lack of resilience,
		
00:36:01 --> 00:36:03
			and they're comparing once they get introduced to
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:04
			Islam through that resilience,
		
00:36:05 --> 00:36:07
			the justice and coherence of Islam
		
00:36:07 --> 00:36:10
			to, Jawr al Adyan, to the, to the
		
00:36:10 --> 00:36:13
			incoherence and injustices that they see in everything
		
00:36:13 --> 00:36:16
			else around them. And so these types of
		
00:36:16 --> 00:36:17
			things are going to resonate
		
00:36:18 --> 00:36:21
			with certain types of people more than others.
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:24
			Either they have been on the receiving end
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:26
			of gross injustice, and so
		
00:36:27 --> 00:36:29
			the the message of justice in Islam is
		
00:36:30 --> 00:36:32
			deeply refreshing to them, or
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:33
			they
		
00:36:34 --> 00:36:35
			have seen the hypocrisy.
		
00:36:36 --> 00:36:38
			They've seen it from the other side,
		
00:36:38 --> 00:36:40
			and the nature inside of them, the goodness
		
00:36:40 --> 00:36:42
			inside of them, their fitra would not allow
		
00:36:42 --> 00:36:44
			them to be at ease with the injustice
		
00:36:45 --> 00:36:46
			even if they technically could benefit,
		
00:36:47 --> 00:36:49
			from that injustice. Right? It just doesn't seem
		
00:36:49 --> 00:36:51
			right. So this verse
		
00:36:57 --> 00:36:58
			this verse
		
00:36:59 --> 00:37:01
			who says about this verse that this is
		
00:37:01 --> 00:37:02
			the most comprehensive
		
00:37:02 --> 00:37:05
			verse in the Quran. This is the most
		
00:37:05 --> 00:37:07
			comprehensive ayah in the Quran.
		
00:37:07 --> 00:37:09
			And that is why you find the the
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:10
			people in Jum'ah,
		
00:37:11 --> 00:37:12
			using this verse and this that's traced back,
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:14
			as I said, all the way back to,
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:15
			the salaf.
		
00:37:16 --> 00:37:18
			It combines within it the notions of justice
		
00:37:19 --> 00:37:22
			and mercy. It combines in it, the notions
		
00:37:22 --> 00:37:22
			of,
		
00:37:23 --> 00:37:25
			what is embedded inside of you already and
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:28
			then how you act upon that. It combines
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:30
			the intention of the lawmaker
		
00:37:30 --> 00:37:31
			himself,
		
00:37:31 --> 00:37:31
			Allah
		
00:37:32 --> 00:37:33
			as well as the expectation
		
00:37:34 --> 00:37:36
			of the one who is to be law
		
00:37:36 --> 00:37:38
			abiding being the Muslim, the one who submits
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:39
			themselves to Allah
		
00:37:41 --> 00:37:42
			It gives
		
00:37:42 --> 00:37:45
			a bottom, you know, a standard that we
		
00:37:45 --> 00:37:47
			are called to uphold as a matter of
		
00:37:47 --> 00:37:49
			obligation, and then a standard that we are
		
00:37:49 --> 00:37:51
			to aspire to
		
00:37:51 --> 00:37:53
			as a matter of pursuing excellence. So it's
		
00:37:53 --> 00:37:55
			the most comprehensive
		
00:37:55 --> 00:37:56
			verse of the Quran.
		
00:37:57 --> 00:37:58
			And let's break it down a little bit
		
00:37:58 --> 00:38:01
			and how it sort of really deals with
		
00:38:01 --> 00:38:03
			justice. Number 1,
		
00:38:03 --> 00:38:05
			the scholars mentioned that Allah
		
00:38:06 --> 00:38:09
			does not command you with something he himself
		
00:38:09 --> 00:38:10
			does not do.
		
00:38:10 --> 00:38:11
			Now granted that
		
00:38:12 --> 00:38:13
			there's nothing like
		
00:38:14 --> 00:38:15
			Allah So it's not like Allah,
		
00:38:16 --> 00:38:17
			is bound by the same things that you
		
00:38:17 --> 00:38:18
			are bound by.
		
00:38:19 --> 00:38:21
			But Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala does not command
		
00:38:21 --> 00:38:24
			you something that he himself does not do
		
00:38:24 --> 00:38:26
			in regards to justice. He says
		
00:38:34 --> 00:38:35
			puts the Oh, my slaves,
		
00:38:36 --> 00:38:38
			I have made oppression, injustice,
		
00:38:39 --> 00:38:40
			haram for myself,
		
00:38:41 --> 00:38:43
			and so I have made it haram between
		
00:38:43 --> 00:38:45
			you as well, so do not wrong one
		
00:38:45 --> 00:38:46
			another.
		
00:38:48 --> 00:38:50
			Who could prescribe upon Allah other than Allah?
		
00:38:50 --> 00:38:53
			Who could forbid for Allah other than Allah?
		
00:38:53 --> 00:38:56
			Who could hold himself, who could hold Allah
		
00:38:56 --> 00:38:58
			to a standard other than Allah
		
00:39:00 --> 00:39:01
			So Allah is saying
		
00:39:01 --> 00:39:03
			that this matter is so heavy, is so
		
00:39:03 --> 00:39:04
			weighty,
		
00:39:04 --> 00:39:06
			that the ultimate authority, Allah
		
00:39:08 --> 00:39:11
			does not allow for himself
		
00:39:11 --> 00:39:11
			injustice.
		
00:39:12 --> 00:39:14
			And by the way, this solves a major
		
00:39:14 --> 00:39:17
			aqid of, you know, issue for multiple people.
		
00:39:17 --> 00:39:19
			Right? Because so many of us get caught
		
00:39:19 --> 00:39:20
			into the details,
		
00:39:20 --> 00:39:23
			and this doesn't seem just, this doesn't seem
		
00:39:23 --> 00:39:25
			just, or this doesn't seem right. And I
		
00:39:25 --> 00:39:27
			don't know what's you know, how is it
		
00:39:27 --> 00:39:28
			that this is happening to this person, or
		
00:39:28 --> 00:39:30
			how is it that this will happen to
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:31
			this person in the hereafter?
		
00:39:32 --> 00:39:34
			And you're judging things based upon surface level.
		
00:39:34 --> 00:39:37
			And who knows what is beneath the surface
		
00:39:38 --> 00:39:39
			is also
		
00:39:39 --> 00:39:40
			he is
		
00:39:40 --> 00:39:42
			the just. Like Allah
		
00:39:43 --> 00:39:45
			is named justice. Al Adil. Right?
		
00:39:46 --> 00:39:46
			So
		
00:39:47 --> 00:39:49
			who are you to step into this and
		
00:39:49 --> 00:39:51
			say that, well, know, this doesn't seem right,
		
00:39:51 --> 00:39:52
			and this doesn't seem just. No. A lot
		
00:39:52 --> 00:39:54
			is saying the law is just.
		
00:39:55 --> 00:39:56
			The legislation is just.
		
00:39:57 --> 00:39:59
			The seen is just. The unseen is just.
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:01
			Justice does prevail.
		
00:40:02 --> 00:40:03
			And of the first rules of the day
		
00:40:03 --> 00:40:05
			of judgment or the first proclamation,
		
00:40:06 --> 00:40:08
			no one will be wronged. So no one
		
00:40:08 --> 00:40:10
			will be wronged by Allah.
		
00:40:11 --> 00:40:13
			And so Allah is in his justice,
		
00:40:14 --> 00:40:16
			not placing upon you a standard of justice
		
00:40:16 --> 00:40:18
			that he himself does not apply.
		
00:40:18 --> 00:40:21
			And he can only hold himself to them.
		
00:40:21 --> 00:40:21
			SubhanAllah.
		
00:40:22 --> 00:40:23
			And, of course, the first person
		
00:40:24 --> 00:40:25
			shaded under the throne of
		
00:40:26 --> 00:40:27
			Allah on the day of judgement, and when
		
00:40:27 --> 00:40:29
			you look at the categories of the 7
		
00:40:29 --> 00:40:31
			that are shaded under the throne of Allah
		
00:40:33 --> 00:40:35
			You'll often find that of the second 6.
		
00:40:36 --> 00:40:37
			Right? So you have number 1, and then
		
00:40:37 --> 00:40:39
			you have this the the last 6
		
00:40:39 --> 00:40:41
			that there's a shift in the order. Either
		
00:40:41 --> 00:40:42
			the narrators
		
00:40:43 --> 00:40:45
			are narrating the hadith from the prophet
		
00:40:45 --> 00:40:47
			and, you know, narrating the 7 shaded under
		
00:40:47 --> 00:40:48
			the throne of Allah.
		
00:40:49 --> 00:40:51
			And, you know, they were calling the order
		
00:40:51 --> 00:40:53
			differently or or the prophet
		
00:40:53 --> 00:40:56
			spoken in different contexts, and therefore,
		
00:40:56 --> 00:40:57
			the order that the prophet
		
00:40:58 --> 00:41:00
			himself used of the 7 that are shaded
		
00:41:00 --> 00:41:02
			under the throne of Allah, Subhanahu wa ta'ala,
		
00:41:02 --> 00:41:03
			would have changed
		
00:41:03 --> 00:41:04
			from time to time.
		
00:41:05 --> 00:41:07
			But all of that being said, there is
		
00:41:07 --> 00:41:09
			one category that always stays the same, and
		
00:41:09 --> 00:41:10
			it is imam una Adil,
		
00:41:10 --> 00:41:11
			a just ruler.
		
00:41:12 --> 00:41:15
			A just ruler who is accountable to a
		
00:41:15 --> 00:41:16
			just lord.
		
00:41:17 --> 00:41:19
			A just ruler who, no matter how much
		
00:41:19 --> 00:41:22
			power he has, understands that his power is
		
00:41:22 --> 00:41:25
			only bestowed upon him by Al Qadr Al
		
00:41:25 --> 00:41:26
			Qadir Al Muqtadir, by the one who has
		
00:41:26 --> 00:41:28
			all power and decrees all things,
		
00:41:29 --> 00:41:30
			and who is
		
00:41:32 --> 00:41:32
			by the way,
		
00:41:33 --> 00:41:35
			you should, of course, tune in to Sheikh
		
00:41:35 --> 00:41:36
			Hamar Shukri series on the names of Allah.
		
00:41:36 --> 00:41:38
			If you're not, it's absolutely stunning.
		
00:41:39 --> 00:41:39
			But
		
00:41:40 --> 00:41:41
			Al
		
00:41:41 --> 00:41:43
			Imam understands Imam understands
		
00:41:43 --> 00:41:46
			that that, you know, above me
		
00:41:46 --> 00:41:48
			is Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. So no matter
		
00:41:48 --> 00:41:49
			how much power I think I have,
		
00:41:50 --> 00:41:52
			all of it is nothing but a drop
		
00:41:52 --> 00:41:55
			in the ocean, and I'm accountable to that
		
00:41:55 --> 00:41:58
			greater power. Now that imam un-'Adil,
		
00:42:00 --> 00:42:00
			really
		
00:42:02 --> 00:42:04
			sets the equilibrium for society then.
		
00:42:05 --> 00:42:06
			It's so beautiful when you have a just
		
00:42:06 --> 00:42:08
			ruler, it is so refreshing when you have
		
00:42:08 --> 00:42:09
			just leadership,
		
00:42:09 --> 00:42:11
			because everything else falls in line.
		
00:42:25 --> 00:42:27
			Corrupted. The rulers and the scholars.
		
00:42:27 --> 00:42:30
			Right? So the ruler sets the leader, sets
		
00:42:30 --> 00:42:31
			the tone.
		
00:42:32 --> 00:42:34
			And that is true in our many ecosystems
		
00:42:35 --> 00:42:36
			of leadership as well, because
		
00:42:39 --> 00:42:40
			that each one of you is a shepherd.
		
00:42:40 --> 00:42:42
			And so when you set the tone of
		
00:42:42 --> 00:42:43
			justice,
		
00:42:43 --> 00:42:45
			you set the equilibrium right in society,
		
00:42:46 --> 00:42:48
			in in your in your own ecosystem.
		
00:42:49 --> 00:42:52
			You have the culture, you have the ethics,
		
00:42:52 --> 00:42:53
			you have the practice, you have the standard
		
00:42:53 --> 00:42:55
			that you hold yourself to.
		
00:42:56 --> 00:42:57
			And anyone who,
		
00:42:58 --> 00:43:01
			has embraced their role as a shepherd understands,
		
00:43:02 --> 00:43:04
			subhanahu, that the first people that will call
		
00:43:04 --> 00:43:06
			you out on your hypocrisy
		
00:43:07 --> 00:43:08
			are going to be your flock.
		
00:43:09 --> 00:43:12
			So parents with your children, you can tell
		
00:43:12 --> 00:43:14
			your kids to memorize the Quran all that
		
00:43:14 --> 00:43:15
			you want. You can tell them about how
		
00:43:15 --> 00:43:16
			wonderful the prophet
		
00:43:17 --> 00:43:19
			is, and you can tell them about how
		
00:43:19 --> 00:43:21
			they have to, you know, act in a
		
00:43:21 --> 00:43:23
			certain way in public and with their social
		
00:43:23 --> 00:43:25
			circles, and in these places.
		
00:43:25 --> 00:43:27
			If they're not seeing that Quran and that
		
00:43:27 --> 00:43:28
			Sira in you,
		
00:43:28 --> 00:43:30
			it's all just theory. And
		
00:43:31 --> 00:43:33
			if anything, you're not teaching them justice, you're
		
00:43:33 --> 00:43:36
			teaching them hypocrisy. You're literally teaching them nifaap.
		
00:43:36 --> 00:43:38
			You're you're teaching them that as long as
		
00:43:38 --> 00:43:39
			we get this right and we have a
		
00:43:39 --> 00:43:41
			good public, you know, image,
		
00:43:41 --> 00:43:44
			it's okay to not have that, you know,
		
00:43:44 --> 00:43:45
			implemented altogether
		
00:43:46 --> 00:43:48
			amongst our flock. So, imam
		
00:43:48 --> 00:43:50
			sets the tone by holding themselves to a
		
00:43:50 --> 00:43:51
			standard.
		
00:43:51 --> 00:43:52
			Allah
		
00:43:53 --> 00:43:55
			holds himself to the standard,
		
00:43:55 --> 00:43:55
			and
		
00:43:57 --> 00:43:59
			could not impose a standard on Allah subhanahu
		
00:43:59 --> 00:44:01
			wa ta'ala because he is a rub and
		
00:44:01 --> 00:44:03
			you are an abd, and we're okay we
		
00:44:03 --> 00:44:05
			we submit ourselves to that. So Allah imposes
		
00:44:05 --> 00:44:07
			upon himself a standard,
		
00:44:07 --> 00:44:09
			and that is how weighty the matter of
		
00:44:09 --> 00:44:11
			justice is and how important it is for
		
00:44:11 --> 00:44:13
			us then, cause all of us are under
		
00:44:13 --> 00:44:14
			the throne of Allah
		
00:44:15 --> 00:44:17
			So whether you're sitting on a throne, under
		
00:44:17 --> 00:44:18
			the throne of Allah
		
00:44:18 --> 00:44:21
			being a king in the metaphorical sense, or
		
00:44:21 --> 00:44:24
			anywhere under that, which, I would assume that
		
00:44:24 --> 00:44:25
			no one here is a head of state,
		
00:44:25 --> 00:44:27
			or or a king, or a prime minister,
		
00:44:28 --> 00:44:30
			then that means that your flock shrinks, your
		
00:44:30 --> 00:44:32
			domain of authority is less and less and
		
00:44:32 --> 00:44:34
			less and less. But as long as you
		
00:44:34 --> 00:44:36
			attribute that domain of authority to the ultimate
		
00:44:36 --> 00:44:37
			authority,
		
00:44:38 --> 00:44:39
			and then hold yourself to the standard that
		
00:44:39 --> 00:44:42
			the ultimate authority holds himself to, then justice
		
00:44:42 --> 00:44:45
			does prevail. Right? Then justice does prevail when
		
00:44:45 --> 00:44:46
			we all sort of take that into our
		
00:44:46 --> 00:44:47
			own
		
00:44:47 --> 00:44:49
			many ecosystems that Allah,
		
00:44:50 --> 00:44:51
			has given to us. So
		
00:44:52 --> 00:44:53
			Allah
		
00:44:53 --> 00:44:53
			Allah
		
00:44:55 --> 00:44:56
			commands you
		
00:44:57 --> 00:45:00
			with justice and excellence, and Allah
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:01
			holds himself
		
00:45:02 --> 00:45:03
			to the standard
		
00:45:03 --> 00:45:06
			of justice and excellence. He is
		
00:45:07 --> 00:45:11
			in who he is, justice and excellence.
		
00:45:11 --> 00:45:12
			And Allah
		
00:45:13 --> 00:45:14
			never fails to show
		
00:45:15 --> 00:45:16
			excellence to the,
		
00:45:17 --> 00:45:19
			to to those who show
		
00:45:21 --> 00:45:23
			and by the fact that Allah
		
00:45:24 --> 00:45:25
			allows us to exist and Allah
		
00:45:26 --> 00:45:29
			provides for us constantly those whom he loves
		
00:45:29 --> 00:45:30
			and those who he does not love, those
		
00:45:30 --> 00:45:31
			who believe and those who disbelieve.
		
00:45:32 --> 00:45:35
			Allah shows Ihsan to every single one of
		
00:45:35 --> 00:45:36
			his creation
		
00:45:36 --> 00:45:38
			by virtue of that creation existing.
		
00:45:39 --> 00:45:40
			Right? That is already,
		
00:45:41 --> 00:45:42
			you know,
		
00:45:42 --> 00:45:44
			a manifestation of Allah's ihsan,
		
00:45:45 --> 00:45:46
			Allah's excellence
		
00:45:46 --> 00:45:48
			to you. So Allah
		
00:45:49 --> 00:45:53
			commands justice and excellence. Allah holds himself
		
00:45:53 --> 00:45:56
			to the standard of justice and excellence, and
		
00:45:56 --> 00:45:58
			no one could impose upon Allah,
		
00:45:59 --> 00:46:00
			anything but
		
00:46:01 --> 00:46:03
			what he imposes upon himself
		
00:46:04 --> 00:46:05
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:46:06 --> 00:46:08
			So this is the setting of the tone
		
00:46:08 --> 00:46:10
			that comes from this verse.
		
00:46:16 --> 00:46:18
			So he comments on this, and he says
		
00:46:18 --> 00:46:19
			that there is,
		
00:46:20 --> 00:46:21
			there's
		
00:46:21 --> 00:46:23
			a relationship here
		
00:46:23 --> 00:46:26
			between the Abd and Allah, the Abd and
		
00:46:26 --> 00:46:27
			the Rab, and then the Abd and the
		
00:46:27 --> 00:46:28
			other Ibaad.
		
00:46:28 --> 00:46:29
			So basically, servant
		
00:46:30 --> 00:46:31
			to lord and then servants
		
00:46:32 --> 00:46:34
			to other servants. So Allah has already established
		
00:46:34 --> 00:46:36
			that he will be just with the servants.
		
00:46:36 --> 00:46:39
			Right? So as far as Rab to Ibad
		
00:46:39 --> 00:46:40
			is concerned,
		
00:46:41 --> 00:46:44
			in the Haram to Dhulma Al Anafsi. Allah
		
00:46:44 --> 00:46:46
			made a Haram for himself to wrong. Allah
		
00:46:47 --> 00:46:48
			will not wrong. So we know that from
		
00:46:48 --> 00:46:50
			Allah, we already get Adil and Ihsan.
		
00:46:51 --> 00:46:52
			Right? Then you have
		
00:46:53 --> 00:46:54
			how we reciprocate,
		
00:46:54 --> 00:46:57
			then you have how we treat one another,
		
00:46:57 --> 00:46:59
			and all three of those things
		
00:46:59 --> 00:47:00
			are related,
		
00:47:00 --> 00:47:02
			to one another. So
		
00:47:03 --> 00:47:04
			he says that,
		
00:47:05 --> 00:47:06
			with Allah
		
00:47:07 --> 00:47:08
			from the servant to
		
00:47:10 --> 00:47:11
			the
		
00:47:18 --> 00:47:19
			That it is
		
00:47:20 --> 00:47:21
			that there is,
		
00:47:23 --> 00:47:26
			there is consistency between what you do in
		
00:47:26 --> 00:47:26
			your private
		
00:47:27 --> 00:47:28
			and your public acts
		
00:47:28 --> 00:47:30
			of worship for Allah
		
00:47:32 --> 00:47:33
			That a person is consistent
		
00:47:35 --> 00:47:37
			between their private and their public lives.
		
00:47:37 --> 00:47:40
			So, you are not hypocritical with Allah
		
00:47:41 --> 00:47:43
			and that you only worship Allah
		
00:47:44 --> 00:47:46
			public or you only hold yourself to the
		
00:47:46 --> 00:47:48
			command of Allah in public, but then in
		
00:47:48 --> 00:47:50
			private, you disobey Allah
		
00:47:51 --> 00:47:53
			and you make your actual,
		
00:47:53 --> 00:47:54
			you
		
00:47:55 --> 00:47:55
			know,
		
00:47:56 --> 00:47:56
			your actual
		
00:47:57 --> 00:47:57
			intentions
		
00:47:58 --> 00:47:59
			known to Allah
		
00:47:59 --> 00:48:01
			So this is hypocrisy. Right?
		
00:48:01 --> 00:48:03
			That a person publicly
		
00:48:03 --> 00:48:04
			shows obedience to Allah
		
00:48:05 --> 00:48:05
			and privately
		
00:48:06 --> 00:48:07
			disobeys Allah
		
00:48:07 --> 00:48:09
			intentionally. This is not referring to the secret
		
00:48:09 --> 00:48:11
			sins that a person struggles with, by
		
00:48:13 --> 00:48:13
			the way. That's a very important distinction to
		
00:48:13 --> 00:48:14
			make here. Okay?
		
00:48:15 --> 00:48:17
			This is referring to a person who only
		
00:48:17 --> 00:48:19
			puts on the cover of obedience to Allah
		
00:48:20 --> 00:48:22
			when other than Allah is around. But when
		
00:48:22 --> 00:48:23
			Allah
		
00:48:23 --> 00:48:25
			is the only one watching this person, that
		
00:48:25 --> 00:48:27
			person sheds the garment of obedience
		
00:48:27 --> 00:48:28
			and proudly
		
00:48:29 --> 00:48:31
			embellishes themselves,
		
00:48:32 --> 00:48:34
			with or debases themselves rather with the garment
		
00:48:34 --> 00:48:37
			of disobedience to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Not
		
00:48:37 --> 00:48:39
			a person who is struggling with certain private
		
00:48:39 --> 00:48:41
			sins, is ashamed of those sins, and is
		
00:48:41 --> 00:48:42
			trying to get rid of those sins.
		
00:48:42 --> 00:48:43
			So
		
00:48:44 --> 00:48:45
			with Allah
		
00:48:45 --> 00:48:48
			is that you make consistent your public and
		
00:48:48 --> 00:48:50
			your private life, as it relates to the
		
00:48:50 --> 00:48:51
			contract, the covenant
		
00:48:51 --> 00:48:52
			with Allah
		
00:48:53 --> 00:48:54
			Right?
		
00:48:56 --> 00:48:57
			Is
		
00:48:58 --> 00:48:58
			as
		
00:49:00 --> 00:49:01
			says that your
		
00:49:02 --> 00:49:04
			is better than your your
		
00:49:05 --> 00:49:08
			secret becomes better than your public.
		
00:49:08 --> 00:49:09
			Okay?
		
00:49:09 --> 00:49:10
			That you worship
		
00:49:11 --> 00:49:13
			Allah even more so in private. Meaning, there
		
00:49:13 --> 00:49:15
			is good that you do in private
		
00:49:15 --> 00:49:17
			that the public is not aware of.
		
00:49:18 --> 00:49:19
			There's good that you do in private that
		
00:49:19 --> 00:49:22
			the public is not aware of. Right? So
		
00:49:22 --> 00:49:24
			it's it sort of flips the equation, and
		
00:49:24 --> 00:49:25
			that's excellence with Allah
		
00:49:27 --> 00:49:28
			And, of course, here in
		
00:49:29 --> 00:49:30
			as the prophet
		
00:49:30 --> 00:49:32
			when he was asked the Hadith of Jibreel,
		
00:49:32 --> 00:49:33
			what is Islam?
		
00:49:33 --> 00:49:36
			What is excellence that you worship Allah as
		
00:49:36 --> 00:49:38
			if you can see him? And if you
		
00:49:38 --> 00:49:39
			can't see him, then you know that he
		
00:49:39 --> 00:49:41
			sees you. And so here there's something very
		
00:49:41 --> 00:49:44
			beautiful and profound that you're so aware of
		
00:49:44 --> 00:49:45
			the sight of Allah
		
00:49:45 --> 00:49:47
			upon you. The one who knows that Allah
		
00:49:47 --> 00:49:50
			is watching them is not concerned with the
		
00:49:50 --> 00:49:51
			other eyes in the room. It just doesn't
		
00:49:51 --> 00:49:52
			matter at that point.
		
00:49:53 --> 00:49:55
			Right? Whether there are other eyes or or
		
00:49:55 --> 00:49:56
			no one else is watching,
		
00:49:57 --> 00:49:59
			I'm really concerned with one sight, and that's
		
00:49:59 --> 00:50:01
			the sight of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And
		
00:50:01 --> 00:50:03
			Hassan is that you're worshiping
		
00:50:03 --> 00:50:03
			Allah
		
00:50:04 --> 00:50:06
			with the knowledge of his sight upon you
		
00:50:06 --> 00:50:06
			constantly,
		
00:50:07 --> 00:50:09
			and you're trying to do better in private
		
00:50:10 --> 00:50:12
			than you do in public. So in public,
		
00:50:12 --> 00:50:13
			you still,
		
00:50:14 --> 00:50:17
			don the garment of obedience and abide by
		
00:50:17 --> 00:50:19
			the covenant of obedience to Allah
		
00:50:21 --> 00:50:24
			But in private, you embellish the garment of
		
00:50:24 --> 00:50:27
			obedience with voluntary voluntary acts of good just
		
00:50:27 --> 00:50:28
			for Allah,
		
00:50:29 --> 00:50:31
			just to try to please your lord. And
		
00:50:31 --> 00:50:33
			that is Islam. Right? So Islam
		
00:50:33 --> 00:50:35
			in the domain of Ibada,
		
00:50:36 --> 00:50:37
			refers to
		
00:50:37 --> 00:50:39
			the extra acts of worship. It refers to
		
00:50:39 --> 00:50:41
			your. It refers to your secret sadaqa. It
		
00:50:41 --> 00:50:44
			refers to everything that is beyond what is
		
00:50:44 --> 00:50:45
			required of you. At the end of the
		
00:50:45 --> 00:50:46
			day, if you wanted to give it like
		
00:50:46 --> 00:50:48
			a simple definition, everything that is beyond what
		
00:50:48 --> 00:50:51
			is required of you, seeking the pleasure of
		
00:50:51 --> 00:50:51
			Allah
		
00:50:53 --> 00:50:54
			Right? So in Allah
		
00:50:55 --> 00:50:57
			already shows you Adil and Ihsan.
		
00:50:58 --> 00:51:00
			As far as you responding to Allah
		
00:51:01 --> 00:51:03
			you respond with Adil by abiding by the
		
00:51:03 --> 00:51:06
			covenant that Allah has given to you,
		
00:51:07 --> 00:51:08
			an and excellence.
		
00:51:08 --> 00:51:10
			And, of course, by the way, this is
		
00:51:10 --> 00:51:13
			this is really profound even for the companions
		
00:51:13 --> 00:51:14
			to try to grasp,
		
00:51:15 --> 00:51:17
			you know, the very famous hadith of Mu'adhib
		
00:51:17 --> 00:51:17
			bin Jabal
		
00:51:18 --> 00:51:20
			where he was riding with the prophet and
		
00:51:20 --> 00:51:22
			the prophet said, yeah, Mu'adhib bin Jabal, and
		
00:51:22 --> 00:51:23
			he said in the bake,
		
00:51:24 --> 00:51:25
			what is it, oh, messenger of Allah? Here
		
00:51:25 --> 00:51:26
			I am at your service.
		
00:51:27 --> 00:51:28
			And the prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam called his
		
00:51:28 --> 00:51:30
			name 3 times to get his attention.
		
00:51:30 --> 00:51:33
			And he said, do you know what the
		
00:51:33 --> 00:51:34
			right of Allah
		
00:51:35 --> 00:51:36
			upon the services?
		
00:51:36 --> 00:51:38
			And said, what is it? He said that
		
00:51:38 --> 00:51:39
			you worship Allah
		
00:51:39 --> 00:51:41
			without attributing a partner to him.
		
00:51:42 --> 00:51:43
			And then he called again.
		
00:51:45 --> 00:51:48
			You have Mo'ad of Jabbal. And Mo'ad said
		
00:51:49 --> 00:51:51
			He said, do you know what the right
		
00:51:51 --> 00:51:52
			of the servant is upon Allah? And it's
		
00:51:52 --> 00:51:54
			like, wait a minute. We have a right.
		
00:51:54 --> 00:51:55
			Haqq upon Allah, how do I have a
		
00:51:55 --> 00:51:57
			haqq upon the one who created me?
		
00:51:57 --> 00:52:00
			Who assigned me a haqq upon al haqq?
		
00:52:00 --> 00:52:02
			Who assigned me any right upon Allah subhanahu
		
00:52:02 --> 00:52:03
			wa ta'ala?
		
00:52:04 --> 00:52:05
			Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam is saying, do you
		
00:52:05 --> 00:52:07
			know what the right of the servant is
		
00:52:07 --> 00:52:08
			upon Allah Subhanahu
		
00:52:08 --> 00:52:10
			wa ta'ala? Ma'ad said, what is it, You
		
00:52:10 --> 00:52:11
			Rasulullah? Allah and his messenger know best, he
		
00:52:11 --> 00:52:13
			said that Allah will not punish him.
		
00:52:14 --> 00:52:14
			May Allah
		
00:52:15 --> 00:52:17
			not punish us. Allahumma Ameen. May Allah subhanahu
		
00:52:17 --> 00:52:18
			wa'ala not punish us. May Allahumma Ameen. Allahumma'ala
		
00:52:18 --> 00:52:20
			allow us to enter paradise
		
00:52:20 --> 00:52:21
			in the highest level of
		
00:52:22 --> 00:52:24
			with no form of punishment and no form
		
00:52:24 --> 00:52:25
			of questioning.
		
00:52:26 --> 00:52:29
			So it's like there is a relationship of
		
00:52:29 --> 00:52:32
			give and take, even though it's all give
		
00:52:32 --> 00:52:35
			and and and and truth because even your
		
00:52:35 --> 00:52:36
			ability to worship Allah
		
00:52:37 --> 00:52:39
			is bestowed upon you. You couldn't worship Allah
		
00:52:39 --> 00:52:40
			if Allah
		
00:52:40 --> 00:52:42
			did not give you the ability,
		
00:52:43 --> 00:52:45
			to worship him, the gift of worshiping him.
		
00:52:45 --> 00:52:47
			So this is as it relates to Allah
		
00:52:48 --> 00:52:50
			So you show him at least the same
		
00:52:50 --> 00:52:53
			amount of regard when you're not seen by
		
00:52:53 --> 00:52:53
			the people.
		
00:52:54 --> 00:52:56
			And Ihsan, excellence is to even go above
		
00:52:56 --> 00:52:58
			and beyond, to show him even more regard
		
00:52:58 --> 00:52:59
			when you
		
00:53:00 --> 00:53:00
			are,
		
00:53:00 --> 00:53:01
			alone,
		
00:53:02 --> 00:53:04
			you know, and and and, you know, in
		
00:53:04 --> 00:53:06
			those private moments of
		
00:53:07 --> 00:53:08
			Khazluwah, with Allah
		
00:53:08 --> 00:53:09
			And he said,
		
00:53:12 --> 00:53:13
			So he said about
		
00:53:14 --> 00:53:14
			the,
		
00:53:15 --> 00:53:16
			al Fasha,
		
00:53:17 --> 00:53:18
			and there are different ways to break this
		
00:53:18 --> 00:53:19
			part down, by the way.
		
00:53:20 --> 00:53:21
			Fasha,
		
00:53:22 --> 00:53:25
			any deed then that is manifested of disobedience
		
00:53:25 --> 00:53:27
			to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is shameless.
		
00:53:27 --> 00:53:30
			Why? Because the believers to have shame with
		
00:53:30 --> 00:53:32
			Allah Allah in public and in private. That's
		
00:53:32 --> 00:53:34
			the Hayat with Allah
		
00:53:34 --> 00:53:35
			So are
		
00:53:36 --> 00:53:39
			going to be the, you know, any deed
		
00:53:40 --> 00:53:42
			that then departs from that covenant with Allah
		
00:53:42 --> 00:53:44
			in this context would be
		
00:53:44 --> 00:53:45
			a
		
00:53:45 --> 00:53:47
			And then in this, tafsir,
		
00:53:49 --> 00:53:49
			here,
		
00:53:54 --> 00:53:56
			that that which is public,
		
00:53:57 --> 00:53:58
			okay, when it comes to,
		
00:53:58 --> 00:54:00
			that sin, so that evil.
		
00:54:01 --> 00:54:01
			And,
		
00:54:05 --> 00:54:08
			here would be either that which is private
		
00:54:08 --> 00:54:08
			or,
		
00:54:10 --> 00:54:11
			that which is,
		
00:54:12 --> 00:54:13
			harmful towards
		
00:54:13 --> 00:54:14
			people.
		
00:54:14 --> 00:54:14
			So
		
00:54:16 --> 00:54:18
			here's the thing that that you can break
		
00:54:18 --> 00:54:20
			this down. There's either usually, when you see,
		
00:54:20 --> 00:54:23
			you know, categories of sins that come together,
		
00:54:23 --> 00:54:26
			if Allah mentions one category of sin, then
		
00:54:26 --> 00:54:27
			it refers to all categories of sin. So
		
00:54:27 --> 00:54:30
			if Allah mentions al fusook, then it refers
		
00:54:30 --> 00:54:31
			to all forms of disobedience. If nothing is
		
00:54:31 --> 00:54:33
			mentioned with it. If Allah refers to al
		
00:54:33 --> 00:54:34
			Fahih al fawahish,
		
00:54:34 --> 00:54:36
			it refers to all forms of sin. When
		
00:54:36 --> 00:54:38
			they come in an order like this, it
		
00:54:38 --> 00:54:40
			refers to either the degree of severity or
		
00:54:40 --> 00:54:42
			the degree of its,
		
00:54:42 --> 00:54:43
			publicity,
		
00:54:44 --> 00:54:44
			or
		
00:54:45 --> 00:54:46
			the party that is involved.
		
00:54:47 --> 00:54:49
			So either you're going from a more major
		
00:54:49 --> 00:54:50
			sin to a minor minor sin,
		
00:54:51 --> 00:54:52
			and, you know,
		
00:54:53 --> 00:54:55
			you want to try to, in your to
		
00:54:55 --> 00:54:58
			eliminate all sins from major to minor, or
		
00:54:58 --> 00:54:59
			it is speaking to
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:02
			the public nature of sin. And, obviously, the
		
00:55:02 --> 00:55:04
			worst sins are the ones that are done
		
00:55:04 --> 00:55:04
			in public.
		
00:55:05 --> 00:55:07
			Right? That are boasted about, that that people
		
00:55:07 --> 00:55:08
			are proud of.
		
00:55:09 --> 00:55:11
			Not because of what not just because of
		
00:55:11 --> 00:55:12
			what that says about your regard for Allah
		
00:55:12 --> 00:55:13
			Subhanahu wa ta'ala,
		
00:55:14 --> 00:55:16
			you know, or your lack of regard for
		
00:55:16 --> 00:55:18
			Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala, but also the trend
		
00:55:18 --> 00:55:20
			that you set them to to inspire,
		
00:55:22 --> 00:55:23
			more people to disobey Allah
		
00:55:24 --> 00:55:26
			And then the, you know, the the least
		
00:55:26 --> 00:55:28
			then of severity in this regard would be
		
00:55:28 --> 00:55:30
			the least public sin, and that's the one
		
00:55:30 --> 00:55:31
			that you struggle with in private.
		
00:55:32 --> 00:55:34
			Or, of course, as I said, the party
		
00:55:34 --> 00:55:37
			involved. So some of the scholars said that
		
00:55:37 --> 00:55:37
			al Bahih,
		
00:55:38 --> 00:55:40
			refers to the sins that are committed against
		
00:55:40 --> 00:55:43
			people. And there's something deeply profound here
		
00:55:43 --> 00:55:45
			that when you wrong someone,
		
00:55:46 --> 00:55:49
			then it's not just the forgiveness from that
		
00:55:49 --> 00:55:51
			person you need to worry about.
		
00:55:52 --> 00:55:53
			Let me put it to you this way.
		
00:55:54 --> 00:55:56
			How we usually talk about this concept. We
		
00:55:56 --> 00:55:57
			usually talk about this concept
		
00:55:58 --> 00:56:00
			by reminding that of the conditions of Tawba,
		
00:56:00 --> 00:56:02
			there are 3, which is regret,
		
00:56:02 --> 00:56:03
			seeking forgiveness,
		
00:56:04 --> 00:56:04
			and then,
		
00:56:05 --> 00:56:07
			repentance to Allah
		
00:56:07 --> 00:56:09
			and then there's a 4th condition if it
		
00:56:09 --> 00:56:11
			involves someone else, which is the restoration of
		
00:56:11 --> 00:56:12
			that person's rights.
		
00:56:13 --> 00:56:16
			There's another side to that coin,
		
00:56:16 --> 00:56:19
			which is, let's say that you wrong someone,
		
00:56:20 --> 00:56:23
			and that person, out of their forgiving nature,
		
00:56:23 --> 00:56:26
			forgives you without you ever having actually taken
		
00:56:26 --> 00:56:28
			the steps to deserve that forgiveness.
		
00:56:29 --> 00:56:32
			There's still another party that's involved, which is
		
00:56:32 --> 00:56:33
			Allah himself.
		
00:56:33 --> 00:56:36
			Because by violating the creation of Allah subhanahu
		
00:56:36 --> 00:56:39
			wa ta'ala unjustly, you've actually violated your covenant
		
00:56:39 --> 00:56:40
			with Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala himself.
		
00:56:41 --> 00:56:43
			There's a a story with Imam
		
00:56:43 --> 00:56:45
			Ahmed that someone came you know, people used
		
00:56:45 --> 00:56:47
			to apologize to Imam Ahmed all
		
00:56:47 --> 00:56:48
			the time later on in his life because
		
00:56:48 --> 00:56:50
			there were people that beat him, people that
		
00:56:50 --> 00:56:52
			backbited him, people that I mean, he lived
		
00:56:52 --> 00:56:53
			a very hard life
		
00:56:54 --> 00:56:55
			He was dragged in the streets,
		
00:56:56 --> 00:56:58
			and the majority of the public, unfortunately, fell
		
00:56:58 --> 00:56:58
			into
		
00:56:59 --> 00:56:59
			fell into
		
00:57:00 --> 00:57:02
			the slander of Imam Ahmed Rahimullah, the torture
		
00:57:02 --> 00:57:03
			of Imam Ahmed Rahimullah. I mean, there were
		
00:57:03 --> 00:57:05
			there were a lot of people that were
		
00:57:05 --> 00:57:05
			complicit,
		
00:57:06 --> 00:57:08
			and so it became common for Imam Ahmed
		
00:57:08 --> 00:57:09
			at the end of his life to just
		
00:57:09 --> 00:57:11
			have people coming in and, you know, break
		
00:57:11 --> 00:57:13
			down into tears and ask for his forgiveness.
		
00:57:14 --> 00:57:16
			And there was one person who came to
		
00:57:16 --> 00:57:17
			imam Ahmed
		
00:57:18 --> 00:57:20
			and asked for his forgiveness for backbiting him,
		
00:57:20 --> 00:57:22
			and imam Ahmed said, I forgive you if
		
00:57:22 --> 00:57:23
			you don't do it again.
		
00:57:24 --> 00:57:26
			And his son, asked him his son was
		
00:57:26 --> 00:57:28
			surprised by the answer because it seemed like
		
00:57:28 --> 00:57:31
			that was a less gracious or forgiving answer.
		
00:57:31 --> 00:57:32
			Imam Ahmed
		
00:57:32 --> 00:57:35
			told him that, you know, the condition of
		
00:57:35 --> 00:57:36
			not returning to it again is because I
		
00:57:36 --> 00:57:39
			don't want him to disobey Allah again. Right?
		
00:57:39 --> 00:57:41
			I want this person to remove the habit
		
00:57:41 --> 00:57:43
			of backbiting. So, SubhanAllah, that's even out of
		
00:57:43 --> 00:57:44
			love and care for the person. But, yeah,
		
00:57:44 --> 00:57:46
			I forgive you, but don't do it again.
		
00:57:46 --> 00:57:47
			Right?
		
00:57:47 --> 00:57:48
			Because
		
00:57:48 --> 00:57:51
			I it might lead to your destruction. Right?
		
00:57:51 --> 00:57:52
			So even if I can't keep forgiving you
		
00:57:52 --> 00:57:54
			every time, and I can't forgive you for
		
00:57:54 --> 00:57:55
			the backbiting of someone else,
		
00:57:56 --> 00:57:57
			And you still have to deal with Allah
		
00:57:57 --> 00:58:00
			forgiving you for your transgression against the person.
		
00:58:00 --> 00:58:02
			All that to say that if you've wronged
		
00:58:02 --> 00:58:03
			someone,
		
00:58:03 --> 00:58:05
			and even if that person in their forgiving
		
00:58:06 --> 00:58:08
			nature says, you know what? Forget about it.
		
00:58:08 --> 00:58:10
			You still need to seek forgiveness from Allah
		
00:58:10 --> 00:58:11
			for wronging that person, because that was also
		
00:58:11 --> 00:58:13
			a violation of your covenant with Allah
		
00:58:15 --> 00:58:17
			Right? So you have to turn back to
		
00:58:17 --> 00:58:19
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:58:20 --> 00:58:20
			and,
		
00:58:21 --> 00:58:23
			you know, seek forgiveness from Allah Azzawajal always
		
00:58:23 --> 00:58:25
			as the primary party. So al Bawi, when
		
00:58:25 --> 00:58:26
			you wrong someone,
		
00:58:28 --> 00:58:30
			you know, it requires that, that conversation with
		
00:58:30 --> 00:58:31
			Allah
		
00:58:31 --> 00:58:32
			as well as the forgiveness,
		
00:58:33 --> 00:58:35
			from that person or the rectification
		
00:58:35 --> 00:58:37
			of that person.
		
00:58:37 --> 00:58:37
			Now
		
00:58:38 --> 00:58:40
			the last part of this,
		
00:58:46 --> 00:58:47
			this is where, subhanAllah,
		
00:58:48 --> 00:58:50
			the part that fits society as it exists
		
00:58:50 --> 00:58:52
			today, and particularly, by the way, relates to
		
00:58:52 --> 00:58:54
			the Palestinian cause,
		
00:58:55 --> 00:58:58
			as as the discourse around it today is
		
00:58:58 --> 00:58:58
			happening.
		
00:59:00 --> 00:59:02
			You know, that the scholars basically mentioned
		
00:59:03 --> 00:59:05
			that without Al Adil, there can be no
		
00:59:05 --> 00:59:08
			Ihsan in society. Without justice, there can be
		
00:59:08 --> 00:59:10
			no peace. It sounds familiar. You know, by
		
00:59:10 --> 00:59:12
			the way, it's actually a famous slogan, right?
		
00:59:13 --> 00:59:15
			No justice, no peace. And you'll find quotes
		
00:59:15 --> 00:59:17
			from, like, Martin Luther King Junior that,
		
00:59:18 --> 00:59:20
			peace is not the absence of war, but
		
00:59:20 --> 00:59:22
			the presence of justice or the absence of
		
00:59:22 --> 00:59:24
			tension, but the presence of justice. That, basically,
		
00:59:24 --> 00:59:25
			there is no you know, peace is not
		
00:59:25 --> 00:59:26
			quiet.
		
00:59:26 --> 00:59:29
			Peace is peace can only truly exist when
		
00:59:29 --> 00:59:31
			there's added, when there's justice. Justice is actually
		
00:59:31 --> 00:59:32
			the foundation
		
00:59:33 --> 00:59:33
			of peace.
		
00:59:34 --> 00:59:36
			Why is this so important in the context
		
00:59:36 --> 00:59:38
			of the Palestinian people? I mean, this is
		
00:59:38 --> 00:59:40
			the most obvious manifestation of this.
		
00:59:41 --> 00:59:45
			The constant notion of why can't the Palestinians
		
00:59:45 --> 00:59:46
			just shut up and accept
		
00:59:46 --> 00:59:49
			their slow erasure from this earth.
		
00:59:50 --> 00:59:50
			Right?
		
00:59:51 --> 00:59:53
			You know, like, we had peace before October.
		
00:59:54 --> 00:59:56
			Palestinians should just accept
		
00:59:57 --> 00:59:58
			this growing apartheid
		
00:59:59 --> 01:00:02
			over 600 Palestinians that were killed before October
		
01:00:02 --> 01:00:03
			in 2023,
		
01:00:04 --> 01:00:06
			you know, the thousands of new settlement units,
		
01:00:07 --> 01:00:10
			the slow ethnic cleansing and genocide that was
		
01:00:10 --> 01:00:11
			happening,
		
01:00:11 --> 01:00:14
			why can't you just accept this reality for
		
01:00:14 --> 01:00:14
			yourself?
		
01:00:16 --> 01:00:18
			So I think it's it's self explanatory.
		
01:00:19 --> 01:00:19
			Right?
		
01:00:20 --> 01:00:22
			There you know, all of this was violence.
		
01:00:22 --> 01:00:25
			Right? Israel has been committing a genocide against
		
01:00:25 --> 01:00:25
			the Palestinians
		
01:00:26 --> 01:00:29
			for decades now because there has been an
		
01:00:29 --> 01:00:30
			attempt to remove
		
01:00:30 --> 01:00:31
			everything Palestine,
		
01:00:32 --> 01:00:34
			everything Palestinian from the face of the earth.
		
01:00:35 --> 01:00:36
			And this idea of just shut up and
		
01:00:36 --> 01:00:37
			accept your fate.
		
01:00:38 --> 01:00:41
			Stop, you know, stop resisting this.
		
01:00:41 --> 01:00:42
			You know?
		
01:00:43 --> 01:00:45
			Why can't we, you know, why can't we
		
01:00:45 --> 01:00:47
			have peace? Why you know?
		
01:00:47 --> 01:00:49
			Every other group of people
		
01:00:50 --> 01:00:51
			or I don't wanna say every other group
		
01:00:51 --> 01:00:52
			of people, but at least the ones that
		
01:00:52 --> 01:00:54
			the west favors, right, is held to a
		
01:00:54 --> 01:00:56
			different standard, which is there is no peace
		
01:00:56 --> 01:00:59
			without justice, including the standard that the west
		
01:00:59 --> 01:00:59
			holds for itself.
		
01:01:01 --> 01:01:03
			But those that are the enemies of the
		
01:01:03 --> 01:01:05
			west and, of course, the Palestinians, unfortunately, are
		
01:01:05 --> 01:01:07
			the primary victims of the west,
		
01:01:08 --> 01:01:09
			in this regard,
		
01:01:09 --> 01:01:10
			you know,
		
01:01:11 --> 01:01:12
			they should accept
		
01:01:12 --> 01:01:13
			living
		
01:01:13 --> 01:01:16
			in complete humiliation, under occupation, apartheid,
		
01:01:16 --> 01:01:18
			and basically just let it all play out,
		
01:01:19 --> 01:01:21
			you know, in slow fashion. SubhanAllah.
		
01:01:23 --> 01:01:25
			No justice, no peace, what happened to them?
		
01:01:25 --> 01:01:28
			Right? What happened to that? So
		
01:01:29 --> 01:01:31
			Allah commands you with justice and
		
01:01:31 --> 01:01:32
			beauty excellence.
		
01:01:33 --> 01:01:33
			And
		
01:01:34 --> 01:01:36
			he says something so beautiful and profound here.
		
01:01:36 --> 01:01:38
			He says that true, beautiful,
		
01:01:39 --> 01:01:41
			ethics or virtue cannot exist in society
		
01:01:42 --> 01:01:44
			with the presence of the ugliness of lust,
		
01:01:44 --> 01:01:45
			with the ugliness of injustice.
		
01:01:46 --> 01:01:48
			In fact, it can even become a scapegoat,
		
01:01:48 --> 01:01:50
			it can become a means of escape. So
		
01:01:51 --> 01:01:52
			what do I mean by that? Or what
		
01:01:52 --> 01:01:53
			does he mean by that?
		
01:01:54 --> 01:01:54
			You
		
01:01:55 --> 01:01:57
			know, he you know, people that give charity.
		
01:01:58 --> 01:02:00
			I'll give you somehow everything just becomes so
		
01:02:00 --> 01:02:01
			clear now.
		
01:02:01 --> 01:02:04
			Mashallah, the president of the United States building
		
01:02:04 --> 01:02:04
			a humanitarian
		
01:02:05 --> 01:02:05
			peer,
		
01:02:06 --> 01:02:07
			you know, for the people of Gaza,
		
01:02:08 --> 01:02:10
			while financing the bombs that are dropping on
		
01:02:10 --> 01:02:13
			the people of Gaza. How beautiful. Right? What
		
01:02:13 --> 01:02:15
			beautiful charity that is. You know? Or when,
		
01:02:15 --> 01:02:17
			the state department had the nerve to say
		
01:02:18 --> 01:02:20
			that we have provided more aid to the
		
01:02:20 --> 01:02:22
			people of Gaza than anybody else. More humanitarian
		
01:02:22 --> 01:02:24
			aid to the people of Gaza than anyone
		
01:02:24 --> 01:02:24
			else.
		
01:02:25 --> 01:02:26
			I mean,
		
01:02:27 --> 01:02:28
			yeah.
		
01:02:28 --> 01:02:30
			I don't need to say, you know,
		
01:02:30 --> 01:02:33
			hypocrisy has never been so clear to to
		
01:02:33 --> 01:02:34
			even non Muslims.
		
01:02:35 --> 01:02:36
			Right? You're financing
		
01:02:37 --> 01:02:37
			1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
		
01:02:38 --> 01:02:39
			of bombs dropping on people, and then you
		
01:02:39 --> 01:02:42
			say, look, we're also giving the handouts.
		
01:02:43 --> 01:02:44
			Take it back to a Meccan society,
		
01:02:45 --> 01:02:46
			Abu Jahl
		
01:02:47 --> 01:02:50
			was very charitable, but Abu Jahl was benefiting
		
01:02:50 --> 01:02:51
			from a system of exploitation
		
01:02:51 --> 01:02:53
			that preceded that charity.
		
01:02:53 --> 01:02:55
			So he wants the benefit of the exploitation
		
01:02:55 --> 01:02:57
			and the praise of the charity.
		
01:02:57 --> 01:02:58
			Right?
		
01:02:58 --> 01:02:59
			And so,
		
01:03:00 --> 01:03:03
			you know, charity can sometimes become an excuse.
		
01:03:04 --> 01:03:06
			These beautiful virtues and ethics that get preached
		
01:03:06 --> 01:03:07
			in society
		
01:03:07 --> 01:03:09
			can become an excuse.
		
01:03:09 --> 01:03:12
			But very few people want to deal with
		
01:03:12 --> 01:03:13
			the reasons for
		
01:03:13 --> 01:03:15
			that Volum existing in the first place.
		
01:03:16 --> 01:03:18
			Right? Because then the mask comes off.
		
01:03:19 --> 01:03:20
			Here in the west,
		
01:03:20 --> 01:03:21
			if you wanted to
		
01:03:22 --> 01:03:23
			feed the homeless people,
		
01:03:24 --> 01:03:25
			Very few people are gonna get mad at
		
01:03:25 --> 01:03:28
			you for feeding the homeless people. But start
		
01:03:28 --> 01:03:30
			talking about vicious inner city policies that displace
		
01:03:30 --> 01:03:32
			the homeless and make things worse for them
		
01:03:32 --> 01:03:33
			and and, you know,
		
01:03:34 --> 01:03:35
			inflation or or rising
		
01:03:36 --> 01:03:39
			prices and and just all types of economic
		
01:03:39 --> 01:03:41
			injustice, then you're infringing.
		
01:03:42 --> 01:03:43
			Then you're you're you're getting yourself in a
		
01:03:43 --> 01:03:45
			shaky territory. Don't go there.
		
01:03:46 --> 01:03:48
			Go give sandwiches to the homeless people. Don't
		
01:03:48 --> 01:03:49
			talk about why they're homeless.
		
01:03:49 --> 01:03:52
			Don't talk about why homelessness is growing. Right?
		
01:03:52 --> 01:03:53
			So the conversation
		
01:03:53 --> 01:03:56
			about virtue and beauty is always more welcomed
		
01:03:56 --> 01:03:59
			the public domain than the conversations about justice
		
01:03:59 --> 01:03:59
			and injustice.
		
01:04:00 --> 01:04:01
			But Allah
		
01:04:01 --> 01:04:03
			You murubu l'Adl Abdul Ihsan.
		
01:04:04 --> 01:04:07
			Allah commands justice before he commands excellence, because
		
01:04:07 --> 01:04:10
			there is no beauty without justice. There is
		
01:04:10 --> 01:04:10
			no excellence
		
01:04:11 --> 01:04:12
			in the presence of oppression.
		
01:04:13 --> 01:04:14
			So
		
01:04:14 --> 01:04:16
			let's not talk about, you know, and and
		
01:04:16 --> 01:04:18
			it's it's nauseating right now because I'm already
		
01:04:18 --> 01:04:20
			seeing it, especially in Ramadan.
		
01:04:21 --> 01:04:22
			Those of you that know me know that
		
01:04:22 --> 01:04:25
			I do not like to shame masajid or
		
01:04:25 --> 01:04:27
			or go after organizations. It's not my nature.
		
01:04:27 --> 01:04:28
			It's not my nature to do this with
		
01:04:28 --> 01:04:30
			individuals. And I'm not gonna do that here.
		
01:04:30 --> 01:04:32
			But I'm gonna say that, you know, to
		
01:04:32 --> 01:04:34
			hear the platitudes of
		
01:04:34 --> 01:04:36
			let's have an interfaith of thought with your
		
01:04:36 --> 01:04:38
			Zionist politician right now.
		
01:04:39 --> 01:04:41
			Let's have them come to our Masjid. Let's
		
01:04:41 --> 01:04:42
			just pretend you know, look, we have to
		
01:04:42 --> 01:04:45
			just we have to work together. We have
		
01:04:45 --> 01:04:46
			to have peace. We're not gonna have peace
		
01:04:46 --> 01:04:47
			without discussion.
		
01:04:50 --> 01:04:51
			May Allah forgive you.
		
01:04:52 --> 01:04:53
			May Allah forgive you. I I I don't
		
01:04:53 --> 01:04:54
			know what to say. May Allah guide you.
		
01:04:54 --> 01:04:55
			May Allah forgive you.
		
01:04:56 --> 01:04:58
			I've heard the platitudes. They're extremely hurtful.
		
01:04:58 --> 01:05:01
			They're extremely hurtful. They're extremely disappointing.
		
01:05:02 --> 01:05:02
			Right?
		
01:05:03 --> 01:05:06
			And then you already have these state department
		
01:05:06 --> 01:05:08
			finance peace initiatives where let's have a Palestinian
		
01:05:08 --> 01:05:10
			and Israeli talk to each other because if
		
01:05:10 --> 01:05:12
			Muslims and Jews can just talk to each
		
01:05:12 --> 01:05:12
			other,
		
01:05:13 --> 01:05:14
			then everything will be okay.
		
01:05:16 --> 01:05:18
			No. I'll I'll talk to those
		
01:05:19 --> 01:05:20
			Muslims and Jews that are in the streets
		
01:05:21 --> 01:05:23
			together that are protesting the injustice of the
		
01:05:23 --> 01:05:25
			of the Israeli regime against the Palestinians.
		
01:05:25 --> 01:05:27
			That's the type of interfaith that I'm down
		
01:05:27 --> 01:05:29
			with right now. You know? People that can
		
01:05:29 --> 01:05:30
			come together and agree upon
		
01:05:31 --> 01:05:33
			a very obvious blatant injustice, not those that
		
01:05:33 --> 01:05:34
			try to soften
		
01:05:34 --> 01:05:36
			or put put lipstick on the pig of
		
01:05:36 --> 01:05:37
			injustice.
		
01:05:38 --> 01:05:40
			Right? The volume that is there.
		
01:05:40 --> 01:05:42
			But those that actually, you know, recognize that
		
01:05:42 --> 01:05:44
			beauty cannot exist in the presence of this
		
01:05:44 --> 01:05:45
			ugliness.
		
01:05:45 --> 01:05:48
			So be careful with the whitewashing
		
01:05:49 --> 01:05:51
			of or or faith washing of Zionism
		
01:05:52 --> 01:05:53
			and the injustice,
		
01:05:53 --> 01:05:54
			the
		
01:05:54 --> 01:05:55
			decades long injustices
		
01:05:56 --> 01:05:58
			of Israel against the Palestinians, and then also
		
01:05:58 --> 01:05:59
			take that,
		
01:06:00 --> 01:06:02
			you know, into your own local community
		
01:06:02 --> 01:06:04
			and how we look at everything else because
		
01:06:04 --> 01:06:07
			this is Puranic. Beauty cannot exist without rectifying
		
01:06:07 --> 01:06:07
			the ugliness.
		
01:06:08 --> 01:06:09
			And so we have to deal with the
		
01:06:09 --> 01:06:11
			ugliness of the vodim in order to get
		
01:06:11 --> 01:06:14
			to the virtue of beauty and unlock the
		
01:06:14 --> 01:06:15
			potential that we have
		
01:06:15 --> 01:06:16
			as believers,
		
01:06:17 --> 01:06:19
			as human beings, with the good things that
		
01:06:19 --> 01:06:21
			Allah has given to us as well. May
		
01:06:21 --> 01:06:23
			Allah allow us to rid ourselves, 1st and
		
01:06:23 --> 01:06:24
			foremost,
		
01:06:24 --> 01:06:25
			in our own lives
		
01:06:26 --> 01:06:28
			and rid our societies of it as well.
		
01:06:28 --> 01:06:28
			May Allah
		
01:06:29 --> 01:06:31
			allow us to not be amongst those who
		
01:06:31 --> 01:06:33
			wrong themselves with shirk. May Allah allow us
		
01:06:33 --> 01:06:35
			to be people of tawhid, people of monotheism,
		
01:06:35 --> 01:06:36
			people who
		
01:06:36 --> 01:06:38
			who respond to the call of Allah, subhanahu
		
01:06:38 --> 01:06:39
			wa ta'ala, with ihsan, may Allah allow our
		
01:06:39 --> 01:06:41
			private to be even better than our public,
		
01:06:42 --> 01:06:44
			may Allah forgive us for our sins, the
		
01:06:44 --> 01:06:45
			public ones and the private ones, the major
		
01:06:45 --> 01:06:47
			ones and the minor ones,
		
01:06:47 --> 01:06:49
			that which we have committed and that which
		
01:06:49 --> 01:06:50
			we are to commit. May Allah forgive us
		
01:06:50 --> 01:06:52
			for all of our sins. May Allah
		
01:06:53 --> 01:06:55
			allow us to be amongst those
		
01:06:56 --> 01:06:56
			who,
		
01:06:57 --> 01:06:58
			uphold justice
		
01:06:58 --> 01:06:59
			around the world.
		
01:07:00 --> 01:07:02
			And may Allah give our brothers and sisters
		
01:07:02 --> 01:07:04
			in Palestine and around the world justice
		
01:07:05 --> 01:07:06
			and the beauty that they deserve.
		
01:07:11 --> 01:07:13
			There's so much to derive from that talk
		
01:07:13 --> 01:07:16
			for being both educational and raw with us,
		
01:07:16 --> 01:07:18
			for this session. We do have a lot
		
01:07:18 --> 01:07:20
			of questions that I've been getting, you know,
		
01:07:20 --> 01:07:22
			privately for, the q and a portion, inshallah,
		
01:07:22 --> 01:07:23
			for the talk. We'll try to squeeze in
		
01:07:23 --> 01:07:24
			a few minutes for the q and a,
		
01:07:24 --> 01:07:25
			but before we jump into that, we have
		
01:07:25 --> 01:07:26
			a beautiful reminder,
		
01:07:27 --> 01:07:28
			so inshallah, Sheikh Omar will have you right
		
01:07:28 --> 01:07:30
			back in a few minutes. But I do
		
01:07:30 --> 01:07:31
			wanna bring onto the stage,
		
01:07:32 --> 01:07:34
			our wonderful brother from Islamic Relief in Canada,
		
01:07:35 --> 01:07:36
			to kind of you know, we just we've
		
01:07:36 --> 01:07:37
			been speaking in this talk that people of
		
01:07:37 --> 01:07:39
			justice are people of action, so inshallah, he's
		
01:07:39 --> 01:07:40
			gonna share with us a few of the
		
01:07:40 --> 01:07:42
			actions that we can take inshallah and some
		
01:07:42 --> 01:07:43
			of the great work that Islamic Relief is
		
01:07:43 --> 01:07:45
			doing on the ground. Sheikh Saddiq,
		
01:07:45 --> 01:07:47
			please, come on to the stage.
		
01:07:50 --> 01:07:52
			It's an honor to be here, JazakAllah Khin,
		
01:07:52 --> 01:07:53
			and my dear sister Hafsa.
		
01:07:54 --> 01:07:56
			To all of our wonderful,
		
01:07:56 --> 01:07:59
			you know, guests or or or or or
		
01:07:59 --> 01:08:01
			brothers and sisters who are joining, and, of
		
01:08:01 --> 01:08:02
			course, to our beloved
		
01:08:03 --> 01:08:03
			teacher
		
01:08:04 --> 01:08:05
			and mentor, Sheikh.
		
01:08:06 --> 01:08:08
			Right now, as you know, we're facing,
		
01:08:09 --> 01:08:11
			one of the most painful moments that I
		
01:08:11 --> 01:08:12
			can recall,
		
01:08:12 --> 01:08:13
			in my lifetime.
		
01:08:14 --> 01:08:16
			I never thought that we would watch
		
01:08:17 --> 01:08:18
			a genocide
		
01:08:19 --> 01:08:20
			unfold in real time
		
01:08:21 --> 01:08:22
			and that we would
		
01:08:23 --> 01:08:23
			all collectively
		
01:08:24 --> 01:08:25
			be witness,
		
01:08:26 --> 01:08:28
			in real time as well to the suffering,
		
01:08:28 --> 01:08:29
			the ethnic cleansing,
		
01:08:30 --> 01:08:31
			and the slaughtering
		
01:08:31 --> 01:08:32
			of children,
		
01:08:32 --> 01:08:34
			of innocent men and women,
		
01:08:35 --> 01:08:35
			of journalists,
		
01:08:36 --> 01:08:38
			of hospital and first responders,
		
01:08:40 --> 01:08:42
			of the very people that are working,
		
01:08:43 --> 01:08:44
			in education,
		
01:08:44 --> 01:08:45
			professors,
		
01:08:46 --> 01:08:46
			teachers,
		
01:08:47 --> 01:08:48
			various facilities
		
01:08:48 --> 01:08:50
			for cancer institutes,
		
01:08:50 --> 01:08:52
			for the those who are,
		
01:08:52 --> 01:08:53
			who have hearing
		
01:08:54 --> 01:08:54
			disabilities,
		
01:08:55 --> 01:08:57
			all of these things, and they're being targeted
		
01:08:58 --> 01:08:59
			and assassinated
		
01:08:59 --> 01:09:00
			essentially.
		
01:09:01 --> 01:09:02
			And their only fault
		
01:09:03 --> 01:09:04
			is being
		
01:09:04 --> 01:09:04
			part
		
01:09:05 --> 01:09:07
			of that region of the world that believes
		
01:09:07 --> 01:09:08
			that colonization
		
01:09:09 --> 01:09:11
			is wrong, that believes that resistance
		
01:09:12 --> 01:09:14
			is a God given right. And that believes
		
01:09:14 --> 01:09:17
			that all human beings should be entreated
		
01:09:18 --> 01:09:20
			in a way of honor and equality,
		
01:09:21 --> 01:09:23
			you know, regardless of whose
		
01:09:23 --> 01:09:27
			place or who claims a land. Those are
		
01:09:27 --> 01:09:28
			god given rights.
		
01:09:28 --> 01:09:30
			Islamic Relief Canada is
		
01:09:31 --> 01:09:33
			one of those charities right now
		
01:09:33 --> 01:09:35
			who are working on behalf of our brothers
		
01:09:35 --> 01:09:37
			and sisters around the world.
		
01:09:37 --> 01:09:40
			We are here essentially at this point, Islamic
		
01:09:40 --> 01:09:40
			Relief,
		
01:09:41 --> 01:09:43
			and all of us are responding. Why?
		
01:09:44 --> 01:09:46
			1st and foremost, we're responding because we have
		
01:09:46 --> 01:09:49
			the brave mothers and the women of Palestine.
		
01:09:50 --> 01:09:53
			We stand up and we are alongside them
		
01:09:53 --> 01:09:55
			for their sacrifices have been so significant
		
01:09:56 --> 01:09:57
			where you have seen
		
01:10:06 --> 01:10:08
			they're still nursing the child.
		
01:10:09 --> 01:10:12
			For the brave mothers that continue to try
		
01:10:12 --> 01:10:14
			to find any means
		
01:10:15 --> 01:10:16
			to make sure that their children
		
01:10:17 --> 01:10:20
			are laughing and smiling and still whatever that
		
01:10:20 --> 01:10:22
			she can sacrifice, she gives
		
01:10:23 --> 01:10:25
			both in her from her own body
		
01:10:25 --> 01:10:28
			to every everything she can give for their
		
01:10:28 --> 01:10:29
			for her children.
		
01:10:30 --> 01:10:31
			We are here for them.
		
01:10:32 --> 01:10:34
			We're here for those beautiful children,
		
01:10:35 --> 01:10:37
			infants that are in the incubators that were
		
01:10:37 --> 01:10:38
			abandoned
		
01:10:38 --> 01:10:39
			in the hospitals,
		
01:10:40 --> 01:10:42
			and they were left there to die.
		
01:10:43 --> 01:10:45
			We are here for children like Yezan,
		
01:10:46 --> 01:10:48
			who 10 years old, he
		
01:10:49 --> 01:10:51
			his in entire body
		
01:10:51 --> 01:10:52
			vanished
		
01:10:52 --> 01:10:53
			vanished
		
01:10:54 --> 01:10:56
			because he didn't have a morsel of food,
		
01:10:56 --> 01:10:59
			and he died in a most famished state
		
01:10:59 --> 01:11:00
			due to malnutrition
		
01:11:01 --> 01:11:02
			that was orchestrated
		
01:11:03 --> 01:11:05
			and created by the Israeli military.
		
01:11:06 --> 01:11:07
			We are here
		
01:11:07 --> 01:11:09
			because we are an Ummah.
		
01:11:10 --> 01:11:11
			Sayedna Muhammad
		
01:11:13 --> 01:11:14
			He told you and I
		
01:11:15 --> 01:11:16
			that time,
		
01:11:34 --> 01:11:35
			And this is such a
		
01:11:36 --> 01:11:38
			beautiful description of what we're feeling
		
01:11:38 --> 01:11:40
			That the movement is what? It's the the
		
01:11:40 --> 01:11:43
			believer is the one who in their mercy
		
01:11:43 --> 01:11:44
			amongst themselves,
		
01:11:45 --> 01:11:46
			in their love amongst themselves,
		
01:11:47 --> 01:11:50
			and their gentleness and kindness of themselves are
		
01:11:50 --> 01:11:52
			like one body that if one part of
		
01:11:52 --> 01:11:54
			the organ of this body hurts,
		
01:11:54 --> 01:11:55
			the entire
		
01:11:55 --> 01:11:59
			body is is is suffering with a sense
		
01:11:59 --> 01:11:59
			of sleeplessness
		
01:12:00 --> 01:12:01
			and
		
01:12:01 --> 01:12:02
			and a fever.
		
01:12:02 --> 01:12:05
			We are all feverish, my brothers and sisters.
		
01:12:05 --> 01:12:06
			We are all hurting.
		
01:12:07 --> 01:12:09
			We are all in in terrible pain right
		
01:12:09 --> 01:12:10
			now.
		
01:12:10 --> 01:12:12
			I want us before we start to to
		
01:12:12 --> 01:12:14
			talk about what is what it is that
		
01:12:14 --> 01:12:17
			Islam is doing is to think right now
		
01:12:17 --> 01:12:19
			and ponder for a moment that while we
		
01:12:19 --> 01:12:20
			prepare for our,
		
01:12:21 --> 01:12:22
			I want you to imagine
		
01:12:23 --> 01:12:24
			today, Insha'Allah,
		
01:12:24 --> 01:12:27
			I'm inviting my beautiful brother and his family
		
01:12:27 --> 01:12:30
			or my beautiful sister and her family with
		
01:12:30 --> 01:12:32
			their 3 or 4 beautiful children, and I'm
		
01:12:32 --> 01:12:34
			inviting them to my home to eat with
		
01:12:34 --> 01:12:35
			me.
		
01:12:36 --> 01:12:38
			I will make sure that they have the
		
01:12:38 --> 01:12:39
			best food, Insha'Allah,
		
01:12:39 --> 01:12:41
			and that they will eat with me. And
		
01:12:41 --> 01:12:44
			there is this beautiful presence because that's what
		
01:12:44 --> 01:12:46
			we're here for right now. We are inviting
		
01:12:46 --> 01:12:48
			our brothers and sisters today.
		
01:12:49 --> 01:12:51
			Islamic Relief is looking right now
		
01:12:52 --> 01:12:52
			to
		
01:12:53 --> 01:12:54
			feed
		
01:12:55 --> 01:12:57
			100 families today.
		
01:12:57 --> 01:13:00
			We're looking to feed 100 families today, InshaAllah.
		
01:13:01 --> 01:13:03
			And we know that we can do it,
		
01:13:03 --> 01:13:04
			InshaAllah, with your support.
		
01:13:05 --> 01:13:08
			We know that those children that are looking
		
01:13:08 --> 01:13:08
			at eating grass
		
01:13:09 --> 01:13:10
			and animal feed,
		
01:13:11 --> 01:13:12
			with your help,
		
01:13:13 --> 01:13:15
			$25 can go a long way in supporting
		
01:13:16 --> 01:13:19
			6 people, a family of 6, to have
		
01:13:19 --> 01:13:19
			Iftar
		
01:13:21 --> 01:13:21
			Everyday,
		
01:13:22 --> 01:13:23
			And if you we give $25,
		
01:13:24 --> 01:13:26
			we can take care of a family for
		
01:13:26 --> 01:13:27
			15 days.
		
01:13:28 --> 01:13:29
			This is how easy it is.
		
01:13:30 --> 01:13:33
			$25. That's that's not even, missing a coffee
		
01:13:33 --> 01:13:36
			every second or third day. We're our sacrifice
		
01:13:36 --> 01:13:39
			is little. You Allah. You Allah.
		
01:13:39 --> 01:13:40
			How can we forget
		
01:13:41 --> 01:13:43
			our beautiful Hajj, our jitou?
		
01:13:43 --> 01:13:46
			When we think of Khaled Dabhan, when he
		
01:13:46 --> 01:13:48
			when he talked about his beautiful,
		
01:13:49 --> 01:13:50
			beautiful granddaughter.
		
01:13:51 --> 01:13:53
			We see in that scene when he said,
		
01:13:54 --> 01:13:55
			the soul of my soul,
		
01:13:56 --> 01:13:58
			that she is my soul, and all Gaza
		
01:13:58 --> 01:14:00
			and Palestine and all of those who are
		
01:14:00 --> 01:14:02
			oppressed. You are the soul of our soul.
		
01:14:05 --> 01:14:07
			That all the souls are indeed like one
		
01:14:07 --> 01:14:09
			body when in in in line in a
		
01:14:09 --> 01:14:12
			line together that we are indeed connected.
		
01:14:14 --> 01:14:16
			We want to be amongst them right now,
		
01:14:16 --> 01:14:19
			Insha'Allah Ta'ala, amongst those that respond, yeah, Allah.
		
01:14:20 --> 01:14:21
			And Allah
		
01:14:21 --> 01:14:23
			has given you and I that opportunity.
		
01:14:24 --> 01:14:28
			Insha'allah, right now, Islamic Relief is on the
		
01:14:28 --> 01:14:29
			ground.
		
01:14:30 --> 01:14:34
			Very, very active even under these dire circumstances.
		
01:14:35 --> 01:14:37
			And there are a lot of questions about
		
01:14:37 --> 01:14:40
			how does aid get in there when we're
		
01:14:40 --> 01:14:42
			seeing this blockade, we're seeing all of these
		
01:14:42 --> 01:14:42
			restrictions.
		
01:14:43 --> 01:14:45
			We're seeing air and and land and by
		
01:14:45 --> 01:14:49
			sea, a blockade that's con continued for over
		
01:14:49 --> 01:14:52
			17 years. Well, my brothers and sisters, Islamic
		
01:14:52 --> 01:14:53
			Relief has been there since 1997
		
01:14:54 --> 01:14:56
			in the Gaza Strip. We've been there in
		
01:14:56 --> 01:14:59
			every single war that has not even war
		
01:14:59 --> 01:15:02
			the onslaught and siege that has occurred. Islamic
		
01:15:02 --> 01:15:04
			Relief has been there.
		
01:15:04 --> 01:15:06
			They have a robust system
		
01:15:06 --> 01:15:08
			of different strategies
		
01:15:08 --> 01:15:10
			to try to make sure logistically,
		
01:15:10 --> 01:15:12
			there were places where they had medical
		
01:15:13 --> 01:15:14
			items still
		
01:15:14 --> 01:15:14
			accessible.
		
01:15:15 --> 01:15:17
			They did have places where they were placing
		
01:15:17 --> 01:15:18
			food in storage.
		
01:15:19 --> 01:15:22
			But what is really amazing is that with
		
01:15:22 --> 01:15:24
			the United Nations food program,
		
01:15:24 --> 01:15:27
			Islamic Relief has really been at a at
		
01:15:27 --> 01:15:29
			a an advantage of making sure
		
01:15:29 --> 01:15:31
			that things are accessible like food.
		
01:15:32 --> 01:15:35
			So lots of food is coming through through
		
01:15:35 --> 01:15:36
			gift and kind. And
		
01:15:37 --> 01:15:41
			Islamic belief is able now to distribute almost
		
01:15:41 --> 01:15:41
			150,000
		
01:15:42 --> 01:15:46
			meals, hot meals ready made that are nutritious
		
01:15:46 --> 01:15:49
			for our brothers and sisters in Palestine. So
		
01:15:49 --> 01:15:50
			that they can, insha Allah,
		
01:15:52 --> 01:15:53
			that they can, insha
		
01:15:54 --> 01:15:56
			Allah, enjoy that moment of Iftar.
		
01:15:56 --> 01:15:59
			That they're not opening their Iftar on air,
		
01:15:59 --> 01:16:00
			but that rather
		
01:16:00 --> 01:16:01
			that
		
01:16:02 --> 01:16:03
			to your giving that
		
01:16:03 --> 01:16:05
			they can enjoy this.
		
01:16:05 --> 01:16:07
			We are at at the time right now
		
01:16:07 --> 01:16:08
			where we're getting
		
01:16:08 --> 01:16:09
			through this,
		
01:16:10 --> 01:16:12
			or staff on the ground.
		
01:16:12 --> 01:16:14
			They're able to screen
		
01:16:14 --> 01:16:16
			and process and oversee
		
01:16:16 --> 01:16:18
			all of the distribution.
		
01:16:18 --> 01:16:20
			And this is an advantage that
		
01:16:21 --> 01:16:23
			continues to be something that Islamic Relief continues
		
01:16:23 --> 01:16:26
			to to push for, to make sure that
		
01:16:26 --> 01:16:28
			whatever is being sent is being distributed in
		
01:16:28 --> 01:16:31
			the best way, the most efficient way, and
		
01:16:31 --> 01:16:33
			in a way that reaches the most number
		
01:16:33 --> 01:16:34
			of people.
		
01:16:34 --> 01:16:35
			We're able to also,
		
01:16:36 --> 01:16:39
			secure lots of food and items and drinking,
		
01:16:40 --> 01:16:42
			like, with the clean water through procurement,
		
01:16:43 --> 01:16:45
			contracts, and and purchasing those items
		
01:16:46 --> 01:16:47
			from the within
		
01:16:48 --> 01:16:49
			the various organizations,
		
01:16:49 --> 01:16:50
			the 17
		
01:16:50 --> 01:16:53
			that we currently work with, and also to
		
01:16:53 --> 01:16:53
			working
		
01:16:54 --> 01:16:55
			across the different areas.
		
01:16:56 --> 01:16:59
			We're not only in southern Gaza. We're also
		
01:16:59 --> 01:17:01
			in central Gaza. We're also
		
01:17:03 --> 01:17:05
			We're in in in Northern Gaza. We we've
		
01:17:05 --> 01:17:07
			been trying to send things there, but, of
		
01:17:07 --> 01:17:10
			course, there are definite, challenges with that with
		
01:17:10 --> 01:17:13
			the current, situation with the Israeli military. But
		
01:17:13 --> 01:17:15
			that doesn't mean that the work won't continue.
		
01:17:16 --> 01:17:16
			Logistically,
		
01:17:17 --> 01:17:19
			they continue to work to make sure that
		
01:17:19 --> 01:17:22
			these items are purchased. And this also protects
		
01:17:23 --> 01:17:26
			the brothers and sisters from overinflate
		
01:17:26 --> 01:17:26
			inflation.
		
01:17:27 --> 01:17:29
			And insha'Allah, for those who are looking for
		
01:17:29 --> 01:17:32
			more information, you can go to Islamic relief
		
01:17:32 --> 01:17:34
			dot CA, and you can access all of
		
01:17:34 --> 01:17:37
			this information I'm sharing with you Inshallah. And
		
01:17:37 --> 01:17:39
			you can also reach out and speak to
		
01:17:39 --> 01:17:40
			any of us Inshallah.
		
01:17:40 --> 01:17:42
			We can share that. We also have been
		
01:17:42 --> 01:17:43
			working
		
01:17:43 --> 01:17:44
			with both,
		
01:17:44 --> 01:17:45
			different
		
01:17:47 --> 01:17:49
			actors within Egypt
		
01:17:49 --> 01:17:49
			and
		
01:17:50 --> 01:17:52
			both non state actors and the government to
		
01:17:52 --> 01:17:54
			try to make sure we can get trucks
		
01:17:54 --> 01:17:55
			in to
		
01:17:56 --> 01:17:57
			Gaza, and we've been successful
		
01:17:57 --> 01:18:00
			to working with Jordan, the government Jordan also
		
01:18:00 --> 01:18:03
			working with different, nongovernmental actors and also,
		
01:18:04 --> 01:18:06
			with in coordination to try to get these
		
01:18:06 --> 01:18:08
			trucks within. And we've been successful.
		
01:18:08 --> 01:18:10
			But we're not celebrating
		
01:18:10 --> 01:18:12
			the few trucks we can get in because
		
01:18:12 --> 01:18:15
			much has to be done. We need this
		
01:18:15 --> 01:18:17
			to be an opportunity that
		
01:18:18 --> 01:18:20
			that every one of us can start giving
		
01:18:20 --> 01:18:22
			and making sure that for the next 15
		
01:18:23 --> 01:18:23
			days, $40,000
		
01:18:24 --> 01:18:25
			is all it takes.
		
01:18:26 --> 01:18:26
			$40,000
		
01:18:27 --> 01:18:28
			if collectively
		
01:18:28 --> 01:18:31
			is all that we're asking our brothers and
		
01:18:31 --> 01:18:32
			sisters that are joining us today
		
01:18:33 --> 01:18:35
			to think about and to just whatever
		
01:18:36 --> 01:18:37
			you can give. $25
		
01:18:38 --> 01:18:41
			can inshallah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, give beautiful
		
01:18:41 --> 01:18:42
			shorbatadas.
		
01:18:42 --> 01:18:45
			So this lentil soup and give them, mashallah,
		
01:18:45 --> 01:18:48
			nutritious vegetables and even meats. Alhamdulillah.
		
01:18:49 --> 01:18:51
			Can you imagine that, subhanAllah, they're sitting at
		
01:18:51 --> 01:18:53
			your table because on yawmulpiama,
		
01:18:54 --> 01:18:55
			when Allah
		
01:18:56 --> 01:18:58
			will look and look and make you see
		
01:18:58 --> 01:18:59
			your deeds,
		
01:18:59 --> 01:19:02
			it may very well be that those beautiful
		
01:19:02 --> 01:19:04
			people that ate from your giving come
		
01:19:05 --> 01:19:06
			as in the metaphoric
		
01:19:06 --> 01:19:07
			table
		
01:19:07 --> 01:19:10
			that you're presented with. And they come and
		
01:19:10 --> 01:19:11
			sit with you and say, yeah, I love
		
01:19:11 --> 01:19:13
			this person bed me.
		
01:19:13 --> 01:19:16
			This person remembered me. When I was thirsty,
		
01:19:17 --> 01:19:19
			I never had a a drink of water
		
01:19:19 --> 01:19:21
			for 3, 4 days, clean water.
		
01:19:21 --> 01:19:24
			It would it somehow was delivered to me,
		
01:19:24 --> 01:19:26
			and it was delivered to this person. It
		
01:19:26 --> 01:19:28
			was delivered to you from you, you, you
		
01:19:28 --> 01:19:29
			Allah. You
		
01:19:29 --> 01:19:30
			to this person.
		
01:19:31 --> 01:19:33
			So this is what what we wanna aim
		
01:19:33 --> 01:19:35
			for my brothers and sisters is this
		
01:19:36 --> 01:19:39
			giving as much as we can. $4
		
01:19:39 --> 01:19:42
			is what it costs to cover the cost
		
01:19:42 --> 01:19:43
			of a meal right now.
		
01:19:43 --> 01:19:46
			Inshallah, we can all do. I know with
		
01:19:46 --> 01:19:47
			the mere numbers that we have this year,
		
01:19:47 --> 01:19:49
			this is this is is probably
		
01:19:50 --> 01:19:51
			less than what we can give.
		
01:19:52 --> 01:19:54
			But today, we're aiming to take care of
		
01:19:54 --> 01:19:57
			100 families for 15 days. That's $25
		
01:19:58 --> 01:20:00
			for the remainder of the month of Ramadan.
		
01:20:00 --> 01:20:01
			And Insha'Allah
		
01:20:01 --> 01:20:03
			Ta'ala, we are going to be able to
		
01:20:03 --> 01:20:05
			do that. Now
		
01:20:05 --> 01:20:06
			the
		
01:20:06 --> 01:20:08
			Islamic Relief has spent already $18,000,000
		
01:20:10 --> 01:20:10
			right now
		
01:20:11 --> 01:20:12
			within the,
		
01:20:12 --> 01:20:16
			the the different aid projects that we've been
		
01:20:16 --> 01:20:18
			doing within Gaza. We've been able to distribute
		
01:20:19 --> 01:20:20
			daily a 150,000
		
01:20:21 --> 01:20:21
			meals
		
01:20:22 --> 01:20:23
			within this area. That's
		
01:20:25 --> 01:20:27
			tens of thousands of families that are benefiting.
		
01:20:28 --> 01:20:30
			We need that that support to continue, and
		
01:20:30 --> 01:20:32
			we can't do it without you guys. And
		
01:20:32 --> 01:20:33
			insha'Allah ta'ala,
		
01:20:33 --> 01:20:36
			we don't wanna obviously take more time than
		
01:20:36 --> 01:20:38
			I'm sure that your brothers and sisters wanna
		
01:20:38 --> 01:20:41
			ask our beautiful Sheikh Ahmed more questions. And
		
01:20:41 --> 01:20:43
			as they say, you don't wanna
		
01:20:44 --> 01:20:46
			come in between Sheikh Ahmed with and anyone
		
01:20:46 --> 01:20:47
			else because everyone's gonna say,
		
01:20:48 --> 01:20:50
			We wanna talk to Sheikh Ahmed. But I
		
01:20:50 --> 01:20:52
			do wanna remind us once again.
		
01:20:53 --> 01:20:55
			The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said,
		
01:20:56 --> 01:20:58
			he said that there will there will not
		
01:20:58 --> 01:21:01
			be a there will be a, a group
		
01:21:01 --> 01:21:02
			of people
		
01:21:03 --> 01:21:05
			that will continue fighting and standing up
		
01:21:06 --> 01:21:08
			against an oppress oppression.
		
01:21:08 --> 01:21:11
			And they will never be dissuade even by
		
01:21:11 --> 01:21:12
			the betrayal
		
01:21:12 --> 01:21:16
			of those who actually were supporting them initially.
		
01:21:16 --> 01:21:18
			And they will fight for the truth. And
		
01:21:18 --> 01:21:20
			where are they from, You Rasool Allah? Where
		
01:21:20 --> 01:21:22
			will they be from? And say from Bayt
		
01:21:22 --> 01:21:25
			al Maqdis or Aknaab Bayt al Maqdis.
		
01:21:26 --> 01:21:28
			They will be from the region of Palestine
		
01:21:29 --> 01:21:31
			and the people of Palestine.
		
01:21:31 --> 01:21:33
			And I remember one of my teachers, he
		
01:21:33 --> 01:21:36
			asked he said that in Syria,
		
01:21:36 --> 01:21:37
			Sheikhdib had asked,
		
01:21:38 --> 01:21:40
			had explained this hadith.
		
01:21:40 --> 01:21:41
			And the students
		
01:21:41 --> 01:21:44
			said, but tell us more about the people
		
01:21:44 --> 01:21:47
			of the the these the selected people that
		
01:21:47 --> 01:21:47
			would defend.
		
01:21:48 --> 01:21:50
			And you know what his response was to
		
01:21:50 --> 01:21:51
			teaching to this student?
		
01:21:51 --> 01:21:54
			He said, rather than you wondering
		
01:21:54 --> 01:21:57
			who those people are, where they are, ask
		
01:21:57 --> 01:21:57
			yourself,
		
01:21:58 --> 01:22:00
			how do you become part of that group?
		
01:22:01 --> 01:22:04
			And he is that is. So
		
01:22:04 --> 01:22:06
			I'll I'll end with that. I think that's
		
01:22:06 --> 01:22:09
			what we're gonna do. I want everyone here
		
01:22:09 --> 01:22:11
			in their giving. Through your giving, you can
		
01:22:11 --> 01:22:12
			be part of that group.
		
01:22:13 --> 01:22:16
			Thank you so much, my wonderful sister Absa,
		
01:22:16 --> 01:22:18
			for giving me the time. If you guys
		
01:22:18 --> 01:22:20
			want more information, Islamic.ca.
		
01:22:22 --> 01:22:25
			You can contact myself, the team at the
		
01:22:25 --> 01:22:25
			office.
		
01:22:26 --> 01:22:26
			Alhamdulillah.
		
01:22:28 --> 01:22:29
			We pray we pray for victory.
		
01:22:30 --> 01:22:31
			We pray for justice.
		
01:22:32 --> 01:22:33
			And we pray
		
01:22:34 --> 01:22:36
			That those beautiful Palestinians and I will end
		
01:22:36 --> 01:22:38
			with this for my sister.
		
01:22:38 --> 01:22:40
			Forgive me one moment. Sorry, brother. I just
		
01:22:40 --> 01:22:42
			wanna make be mindful because I know Sheikh,
		
01:22:42 --> 01:22:43
			Umur has to leave right now. So I
		
01:22:43 --> 01:22:45
			wanna make sure we squeeze in a couple
		
01:22:45 --> 01:22:47
			of Yeah. Of questions before we leave. But
		
01:22:47 --> 01:22:48
			I'm good. I I promise. I'm I'm good.
		
01:22:48 --> 01:22:50
			I just want us to pray just one
		
01:22:50 --> 01:22:52
			thing. Oh, Allah, grant us the
		
01:22:52 --> 01:22:54
			ability to speak to the shuhada of Razzani.
		
01:23:00 --> 01:23:02
			An honor to have you with us. And
		
01:23:02 --> 01:23:04
			everyone, Jazak, please do heed that advice and
		
01:23:04 --> 01:23:06
			that request inshallah. Let's let's get that ball
		
01:23:06 --> 01:23:08
			rolling. I know what this community is capable
		
01:23:08 --> 01:23:09
			of, and we know right now that the
		
01:23:09 --> 01:23:11
			majority of the world has abandoned the people
		
01:23:11 --> 01:23:13
			in full esteem. So let us not abandon
		
01:23:13 --> 01:23:15
			them. Let us be their protectors, their providers,
		
01:23:15 --> 01:23:16
			those who feed them, those who do as
		
01:23:16 --> 01:23:18
			much as we can within our capability right
		
01:23:18 --> 01:23:21
			now. I know we're running a lot beyond
		
01:23:21 --> 01:23:22
			schedule inshallah, so we'll keep dropping that link.
		
01:23:22 --> 01:23:24
			That's almugar. That's islamicrelief.
		
01:23:24 --> 01:23:25
			Caforward/amugar.
		
01:23:25 --> 01:23:27
			With that, I'll just bring, Imam,
		
01:23:27 --> 01:23:30
			Omar Salamanca back shift. I know it's been,
		
01:23:30 --> 01:23:32
			quite a long session and I'm honestly, I'm
		
01:23:32 --> 01:23:33
			unable to keep up with the amount of
		
01:23:33 --> 01:23:35
			questions I've received privately.
		
01:23:35 --> 01:23:37
			So I'm gonna do my best, inshallah. The
		
01:23:37 --> 01:23:39
			last one I saw was, how do you
		
01:23:39 --> 01:23:42
			show slash display justice in your house, especially
		
01:23:42 --> 01:23:44
			with your siblings or difficult family members?
		
01:23:46 --> 01:23:47
			Well, I think that justice
		
01:23:47 --> 01:23:49
			is, you know, when it comes to,
		
01:23:50 --> 01:23:52
			people that don't show you kindness is to
		
01:23:52 --> 01:23:54
			not show them the same type of hardship
		
01:23:54 --> 01:23:56
			that they show you. Ihsan is what is
		
01:23:56 --> 01:23:57
			beyond that. Right? So if you have family
		
01:23:57 --> 01:23:59
			members that
		
01:23:59 --> 01:24:00
			are,
		
01:24:00 --> 01:24:02
			and not all family members are the same.
		
01:24:02 --> 01:24:04
			I know that a lot of people don't
		
01:24:04 --> 01:24:05
			like when I talk about this. Right? But
		
01:24:05 --> 01:24:07
			there is, of course, when it comes to
		
01:24:07 --> 01:24:08
			parents,
		
01:24:09 --> 01:24:11
			it's already you know, they already have a
		
01:24:11 --> 01:24:12
			a delegate above you that
		
01:24:13 --> 01:24:15
			is is very important to honor. So not
		
01:24:15 --> 01:24:17
			all family members are the same.
		
01:24:18 --> 01:24:19
			But, like, you have those that are sort
		
01:24:19 --> 01:24:21
			of on equal footing. You have those that
		
01:24:21 --> 01:24:21
			are,
		
01:24:23 --> 01:24:25
			you know, even that that that owe you.
		
01:24:25 --> 01:24:26
			Right? So your children and stuff like that.
		
01:24:26 --> 01:24:29
			So abuse is never allowed in shaya regardless
		
01:24:29 --> 01:24:30
			across any layer.
		
01:24:32 --> 01:24:34
			But, justice needs to be,
		
01:24:34 --> 01:24:36
			implemented by not responding to evil with that
		
01:24:36 --> 01:24:38
			which is evil. Is to show kindness in
		
01:24:38 --> 01:24:41
			return as well. And so if you show
		
01:24:41 --> 01:24:43
			kindness, this is true for the stranger,
		
01:24:44 --> 01:24:45
			then
		
01:24:45 --> 01:24:47
			you'll be even more rewarded with your family.
		
01:24:47 --> 01:24:48
			Beautiful.
		
01:24:48 --> 01:24:50
			The next question we'll just take the last
		
01:24:50 --> 01:24:51
			one, just to be mindful of the time.
		
01:24:51 --> 01:24:53
			And I know you guys are waiting for
		
01:24:53 --> 01:24:54
			Quran reflect as well with this.
		
01:24:54 --> 01:24:56
			The question is, is it best to persevere
		
01:24:56 --> 01:24:58
			when the on the receiving end of injustice
		
01:24:58 --> 01:25:00
			or is it best to avoid or try
		
01:25:00 --> 01:25:01
			to escape it?
		
01:25:01 --> 01:25:03
			Say one more. Can you say one more?
		
01:25:03 --> 01:25:04
			Sorry. It's a great question. It's is it
		
01:25:04 --> 01:25:06
			best to persevere when on the receiving end
		
01:25:06 --> 01:25:08
			of injustice, or is it best to avoid
		
01:25:08 --> 01:25:09
			or escape it?
		
01:25:12 --> 01:25:15
			That's a tough one, because you shouldn't reciprocate
		
01:25:15 --> 01:25:17
			harm intentionally initially. Yeah. Right? So you don't
		
01:25:17 --> 01:25:18
			put yourself
		
01:25:18 --> 01:25:20
			in harm's way intentionally. But
		
01:25:22 --> 01:25:24
			some people are called to persevere, because the
		
01:25:24 --> 01:25:26
			goal of what they are seeking is greater.
		
01:25:26 --> 01:25:28
			Right? So someone right now who's staying in
		
01:25:28 --> 01:25:29
			Palestine,
		
01:25:30 --> 01:25:32
			right, persevering by maintaining,
		
01:25:32 --> 01:25:34
			then they're in a state of ri'baat. They're
		
01:25:34 --> 01:25:36
			in a state of holding it down. Right?
		
01:25:36 --> 01:25:38
			But that's very hard to apply to, like,
		
01:25:38 --> 01:25:39
			a personal family situation,
		
01:25:41 --> 01:25:43
			you know, without getting into, like, specifics. Right?
		
01:25:43 --> 01:25:44
			So look,
		
01:25:45 --> 01:25:48
			family ties are the most delicate ties in
		
01:25:48 --> 01:25:49
			Islam, and so they should not be cut
		
01:25:49 --> 01:25:51
			off unless there's a fear,
		
01:25:52 --> 01:25:56
			associated with that tie. Right? So it's just
		
01:25:56 --> 01:25:57
			very, very difficult to,
		
01:25:58 --> 01:26:01
			to cut off, you know, family time. But
		
01:26:01 --> 01:26:04
			when it comes to, you know, our own
		
01:26:04 --> 01:26:06
			individual lives, the general rule is that you
		
01:26:06 --> 01:26:07
			don't
		
01:26:07 --> 01:26:09
			do Volm, nor do you accept Volm for
		
01:26:09 --> 01:26:10
			yourself.
		
01:26:11 --> 01:26:13
			Islam doesn't teach you to accept oppression for
		
01:26:13 --> 01:26:13
			yourself.
		
01:26:14 --> 01:26:17
			You try to rectify it, and you do
		
01:26:17 --> 01:26:19
			so without becoming a lot of yourself, without
		
01:26:19 --> 01:26:22
			being an oppressor yourself. Now justice is to
		
01:26:22 --> 01:26:24
			put the person who's oppressed in a place
		
01:26:24 --> 01:26:26
			to where they can choose whether to take
		
01:26:26 --> 01:26:28
			vengeance or forgive, and then encourage them to
		
01:26:28 --> 01:26:30
			forgive after you've given them that choice. Not
		
01:26:30 --> 01:26:32
			to tell them in the midst of their
		
01:26:32 --> 01:26:32
			suffering,
		
01:26:33 --> 01:26:34
			suffer peacefully.
		
01:26:35 --> 01:26:37
			Right? It's to try to do everything you
		
01:26:37 --> 01:26:39
			can to put that person in a position
		
01:26:39 --> 01:26:40
			to show grace and then encourage them to
		
01:26:40 --> 01:26:43
			grace. Right? Encourage them to ihsan in that
		
01:26:43 --> 01:26:43
			situation.
		
01:26:44 --> 01:26:46
			So that's where the sort of community failure,
		
01:26:47 --> 01:26:49
			you know, comes into being. And and and
		
01:26:49 --> 01:26:51
			the people the the surrounding cast. I always
		
01:26:51 --> 01:26:52
			tell people, like, when you think about Ayub,
		
01:26:52 --> 01:26:53
			the
		
01:26:54 --> 01:26:55
			story of Ayub,
		
01:26:55 --> 01:26:57
			don't just see yourself as Ayub,
		
01:26:57 --> 01:26:58
			or not Ayub,
		
01:26:59 --> 01:27:00
			are you the wife of Ayub,
		
01:27:00 --> 01:27:02
			are you the 2 friends of Ayub,
		
01:27:03 --> 01:27:05
			that had a hurtful conversation that he overheard?
		
01:27:05 --> 01:27:06
			Are you
		
01:27:06 --> 01:27:09
			the society that shunned him? Right? Where do
		
01:27:09 --> 01:27:12
			you fall in? Right? So may Allah make
		
01:27:12 --> 01:27:13
			us amongst those who uphold justice in their
		
01:27:13 --> 01:27:15
			individual lives, as well as in our community
		
01:27:15 --> 01:27:16
			lives.
		
01:27:16 --> 01:27:18
			Also my apologies to Estebatemia.
		
01:27:19 --> 01:27:22
			I know I'm taking and I'm I'm eating
		
01:27:22 --> 01:27:24
			into her time, so may Allah bless her
		
01:27:24 --> 01:27:25
			and reward her. And,
		
01:27:26 --> 01:27:27
			just did a quick scroll. It's good to
		
01:27:27 --> 01:27:29
			see so many of you,
		
01:27:29 --> 01:27:30
			former students
		
01:27:31 --> 01:27:33
			from different parts of the, of of the
		
01:27:33 --> 01:27:34
			world. So
		
01:27:34 --> 01:27:36
			to all of you for tuning in,
		
01:27:36 --> 01:27:37
			today.
		
01:27:42 --> 01:27:43
			An honor as always to have you back
		
01:27:43 --> 01:27:45
			on with Ramadan 360. We look forward to
		
01:27:45 --> 01:27:48
			continuing to benefit from you from 3430 series
		
01:27:48 --> 01:27:49
			and everything that Yaqeen is putting out and
		
01:27:49 --> 01:27:52
			inshallah having you back on-site inshallah with us
		
01:27:52 --> 01:27:54
			very soon. With that, Jazakkum Lakkar for the
		
01:27:54 --> 01:27:56
			beautiful community that has been with us. I
		
01:27:56 --> 01:27:58
			know it's been a lot of energy today,
		
01:27:58 --> 01:27:59
			and I hope that you guys really do
		
01:27:59 --> 01:28:00
			take that, that,
		
01:28:01 --> 01:28:03
			opportunity to support and to make a difference.
		
01:28:03 --> 01:28:04
			I know I've been hearing a lot of
		
01:28:04 --> 01:28:06
			questions just really quickly before we jump into
		
01:28:06 --> 01:28:07
			our Quran reflect and you guys get a
		
01:28:07 --> 01:28:09
			chance to now share, and the benefit from
		
01:28:09 --> 01:28:11
			Musa for the short bit of time that
		
01:28:11 --> 01:28:13
			we have remaining. A lot of people are
		
01:28:13 --> 01:28:15
			asking how is aid getting into Gaza? I
		
01:28:15 --> 01:28:17
			know the brother, had mentioned a little bit
		
01:28:17 --> 01:28:18
			about, you know, the the partnerships and the
		
01:28:18 --> 01:28:20
			local connection and the fact that Islamic Relief
		
01:28:20 --> 01:28:23
			Canada has been in Gaza since 1997, but
		
01:28:23 --> 01:28:24
			just to give you guys some insight from
		
01:28:24 --> 01:28:26
			the information that they've provided and you can
		
01:28:26 --> 01:28:28
			find more on the website is that since
		
01:28:28 --> 01:28:30
			October 7th to,
		
01:28:30 --> 01:28:32
			beginning of March of this year, they've got
		
01:28:32 --> 01:28:34
			200 and sorry, 2,200,000
		
01:28:34 --> 01:28:36
			medical supply items, 6,400,000
		
01:28:37 --> 01:28:39
			ready to eat meals and then 4,245
		
01:28:41 --> 01:28:44
			food vouchers, fresh produce, blankets, mattresses, clean water,
		
01:28:44 --> 01:28:46
			so many things that we're seeing that I
		
01:28:46 --> 01:28:48
			know we can't reach everybody, but subhanAllah that
		
01:28:48 --> 01:28:50
			they're doing their part with as much capacity
		
01:28:50 --> 01:28:51
			as they can. And we have to make
		
01:28:51 --> 01:28:53
			sure that we maximize their efforts and we
		
01:28:53 --> 01:28:55
			make sure that nobody in Gaza goes hungry,
		
01:28:55 --> 01:28:57
			to the best of our ability. So please
		
01:28:57 --> 01:28:59
			do donate generously. With that said, let's jump
		
01:28:59 --> 01:29:00
			into our Quran reflect. I know it's gonna
		
01:29:00 --> 01:29:02
			be a shorter session probably than normal, inshaAllah,
		
01:29:02 --> 01:29:04
			but we still have time to benefit inshaAllah,
		
01:29:04 --> 01:29:06
			so we look forward to that.
		
01:29:06 --> 01:29:07
			Hopefully,
		
01:29:09 --> 01:29:11
			Sheikh Omar's apology made up for my apology
		
01:29:11 --> 01:29:14
			as well. Insha'Allah Thank you. Let's jump right
		
01:29:14 --> 01:29:14
			in.
		
01:29:17 --> 01:29:18
			I was actually
		
01:29:19 --> 01:29:20
			hoping that he would take all of the
		
01:29:20 --> 01:29:21
			time because
		
01:29:22 --> 01:29:24
			I think taking questions would have been much
		
01:29:24 --> 01:29:24
			more beneficial.
		
01:29:26 --> 01:29:27
			But Alhamdulillah.
		
01:29:28 --> 01:29:28
			Alhamdulillah.
		
01:29:29 --> 01:29:30
			Alright. Let's begin.
		
01:29:37 --> 01:29:39
			So the topic of Adil is a very,
		
01:29:39 --> 01:29:39
			very,
		
01:29:40 --> 01:29:42
			important topic, and we can see the fact
		
01:29:42 --> 01:29:43
			that,
		
01:29:43 --> 01:29:46
			you know, in the Quran, there's 2 different
		
01:29:46 --> 01:29:48
			words that are used to refer to justice.
		
01:29:49 --> 01:29:50
			There is,
		
01:29:50 --> 01:29:51
			the word,
		
01:29:53 --> 01:29:54
			which is mentioned
		
01:29:54 --> 01:29:57
			19 times in the Quran for justice,
		
01:29:57 --> 01:29:59
			and then there's also the word,
		
01:30:00 --> 01:30:03
			which is mentioned over 20 times.
		
01:30:04 --> 01:30:06
			And there's a slight difference between the two
		
01:30:06 --> 01:30:07
			words.
		
01:30:07 --> 01:30:08
			We see that,
		
01:30:09 --> 01:30:12
			is defined as justice as in the opposite
		
01:30:12 --> 01:30:13
			of
		
01:30:14 --> 01:30:17
			lul, the opposite of injustice, meaning the absence
		
01:30:18 --> 01:30:19
			of would lead to
		
01:30:20 --> 01:30:20
			injustice.
		
01:30:22 --> 01:30:24
			And it is typically the word is typically
		
01:30:24 --> 01:30:27
			used when you're dealing with, any in in
		
01:30:27 --> 01:30:30
			relation to multiple people at a time. So
		
01:30:30 --> 01:30:33
			so for example, if a person has, you
		
01:30:33 --> 01:30:34
			know, multiple children,
		
01:30:34 --> 01:30:36
			then they have to treat them with,
		
01:30:37 --> 01:30:40
			meaning they have to give each child
		
01:30:40 --> 01:30:42
			what each child deserves.
		
01:30:42 --> 01:30:44
			And if they were to give all of
		
01:30:44 --> 01:30:46
			their attention to one child, that would
		
01:30:47 --> 01:30:47
			be unjust
		
01:30:48 --> 01:30:50
			towards other children because it would cause other
		
01:30:50 --> 01:30:52
			children to actually
		
01:30:52 --> 01:30:52
			suffer.
		
01:30:53 --> 01:30:53
			Right?
		
01:30:54 --> 01:30:55
			And adal
		
01:30:56 --> 01:30:57
			is not,
		
01:30:57 --> 01:30:58
			is not equality.
		
01:30:59 --> 01:31:01
			It is not to treat everyone in the
		
01:31:01 --> 01:31:02
			exact same way
		
01:31:03 --> 01:31:03
			because
		
01:31:04 --> 01:31:06
			everyone's needs are different.
		
01:31:06 --> 01:31:08
			Right? If you have, for example,
		
01:31:08 --> 01:31:09
			2 children,
		
01:31:09 --> 01:31:11
			one is a baby and the other is
		
01:31:12 --> 01:31:15
			8 years old, both children have very different,
		
01:31:15 --> 01:31:16
			needs.
		
01:31:16 --> 01:31:19
			Right? If you have 2 family members, 1
		
01:31:19 --> 01:31:21
			is your parent and the other is your
		
01:31:21 --> 01:31:22
			sibling,
		
01:31:22 --> 01:31:25
			again, both of them have very different needs.
		
01:31:26 --> 01:31:29
			And and their their positions, their relationship to
		
01:31:29 --> 01:31:31
			you is also very unique, so you cannot
		
01:31:31 --> 01:31:34
			treat each person in the exact same way.
		
01:31:34 --> 01:31:37
			Sometimes we think that the concept of justice
		
01:31:37 --> 01:31:40
			is what we what what we think is
		
01:31:40 --> 01:31:41
			equality,
		
01:31:42 --> 01:31:44
			or in Arabic, it is called Musawat.
		
01:31:45 --> 01:31:47
			But adir is very different from musawat.
		
01:31:48 --> 01:31:50
			Musawat is that you treat each person in
		
01:31:50 --> 01:31:53
			the exact same way, but adir is that
		
01:31:53 --> 01:31:56
			you give each person what they deserve,
		
01:31:56 --> 01:31:57
			what they need,
		
01:31:58 --> 01:32:01
			and that could vary from person to person.
		
01:32:01 --> 01:32:02
			Now the word pist,
		
01:32:03 --> 01:32:06
			is also used for justice in the Quran,
		
01:32:06 --> 01:32:06
			and,
		
01:32:07 --> 01:32:10
			it is said, is, justice that is,
		
01:32:10 --> 01:32:12
			that is al bayin abwahir,
		
01:32:12 --> 01:32:15
			meaning that is very, very evident, that is
		
01:32:15 --> 01:32:16
			very, very clear.
		
01:32:17 --> 01:32:19
			And some say that it's it's more, like,
		
01:32:19 --> 01:32:22
			tangible. Any it's you you you see it.
		
01:32:22 --> 01:32:23
			Alright?
		
01:32:23 --> 01:32:24
			Like, for example,
		
01:32:25 --> 01:32:27
			if a person is weighing something on a
		
01:32:27 --> 01:32:28
			scale,
		
01:32:28 --> 01:32:29
			alright,
		
01:32:29 --> 01:32:32
			then before they put something on the scale,
		
01:32:33 --> 01:32:36
			they they wipe the scale clean, alright, to
		
01:32:36 --> 01:32:39
			ensure that nothing was there from before
		
01:32:39 --> 01:32:42
			that could actually add to the weight of,
		
01:32:42 --> 01:32:44
			you know, what you are weighing.
		
01:32:45 --> 01:32:45
			So,
		
01:32:46 --> 01:32:48
			so we see both of these words are
		
01:32:48 --> 01:32:49
			used in the Quran. Sometimes,
		
01:32:50 --> 01:32:52
			you know, some urnamas say that there isn't
		
01:32:52 --> 01:32:54
			really much a difference, but others say that,
		
01:32:54 --> 01:32:55
			that
		
01:32:55 --> 01:32:57
			is in relation to others.
		
01:32:57 --> 01:32:58
			And
		
01:32:58 --> 01:33:01
			is justice that is very, very manifest, that
		
01:33:01 --> 01:33:03
			is very, very evident.
		
01:33:04 --> 01:33:06
			Now we see in the Quran that Allah
		
01:33:07 --> 01:33:09
			commands us to be just. Right?
		
01:33:10 --> 01:33:13
			But he doesn't expect us to be,
		
01:33:14 --> 01:33:16
			just beyond our capability.
		
01:33:17 --> 01:33:20
			Because especially when you're dealing with family members,
		
01:33:20 --> 01:33:23
			right, no matter how hard you try,
		
01:33:24 --> 01:33:26
			you are trying your best to be just
		
01:33:26 --> 01:33:29
			and fair with them. But tell me, what
		
01:33:29 --> 01:33:31
			is it that children always complain about?
		
01:33:32 --> 01:33:34
			Right? They will say that you're not being
		
01:33:35 --> 01:33:37
			fair. Right? This is unfair.
		
01:33:39 --> 01:33:40
			Any
		
01:33:41 --> 01:33:42
			parents try
		
01:33:42 --> 01:33:43
			so
		
01:33:43 --> 01:33:44
			hard
		
01:33:44 --> 01:33:46
			to be just with their children, to be
		
01:33:46 --> 01:33:49
			fair with them. But the number one complaint
		
01:33:49 --> 01:33:51
			that I think all children have, regardless of
		
01:33:51 --> 01:33:52
			their age,
		
01:33:53 --> 01:33:53
			is that
		
01:33:54 --> 01:33:56
			my parents are not being fair with me.
		
01:33:56 --> 01:33:57
			Right?
		
01:33:57 --> 01:33:59
			This is not fair. This is unfair.
		
01:33:59 --> 01:34:02
			And, you know, there comes a time where
		
01:34:02 --> 01:34:05
			I I think, when children themselves become parents
		
01:34:05 --> 01:34:07
			that they that they,
		
01:34:07 --> 01:34:09
			you know, see that, yes, their parents did
		
01:34:09 --> 01:34:10
			try their best.
		
01:34:11 --> 01:34:13
			But we see in the Quran, you know,
		
01:34:13 --> 01:34:14
			for example, Allah
		
01:34:15 --> 01:34:16
			mentions that
		
01:34:20 --> 01:34:22
			this is in the case of a man
		
01:34:22 --> 01:34:24
			who has multiple wives that Allah
		
01:34:24 --> 01:34:27
			says that you will never be capable
		
01:34:27 --> 01:34:28
			of being
		
01:34:28 --> 01:34:32
			completely just between your wives even if you
		
01:34:32 --> 01:34:34
			eagerly wish to do so.
		
01:34:34 --> 01:34:37
			Any this is beyond your capability,
		
01:34:37 --> 01:34:40
			and especially when it comes to your feelings.
		
01:34:40 --> 01:34:40
			Right?
		
01:34:41 --> 01:34:43
			You you know, the fact that you get
		
01:34:43 --> 01:34:44
			along with someone.
		
01:34:44 --> 01:34:46
			And even with your children, this is the
		
01:34:46 --> 01:34:48
			case. There's one child who is
		
01:34:48 --> 01:34:51
			very cooperative. You know? They listen. You get
		
01:34:51 --> 01:34:53
			along with them. And then there's others there
		
01:34:54 --> 01:34:55
			there's other children who are,
		
01:34:56 --> 01:34:58
			you know, who are generally you know, they
		
01:34:58 --> 01:35:01
			they fight. They argue. They complain.
		
01:35:01 --> 01:35:02
			They resist.
		
01:35:03 --> 01:35:04
			So,
		
01:35:05 --> 01:35:05
			any it's
		
01:35:06 --> 01:35:09
			because of the difference in their manners, of
		
01:35:09 --> 01:35:10
			course,
		
01:35:10 --> 01:35:12
			you know, you don't get along with everybody
		
01:35:12 --> 01:35:13
			in the same way.
		
01:35:14 --> 01:35:16
			So what does Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala say
		
01:35:16 --> 01:35:18
			then? Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
		
01:35:19 --> 01:35:20
			expects that we don't,
		
01:35:22 --> 01:35:22
			completely
		
01:35:23 --> 01:35:25
			lean to one side
		
01:35:25 --> 01:35:27
			and that we don't follow our desire.
		
01:35:28 --> 01:35:30
			Right? And this is something that is mentioned
		
01:35:30 --> 01:35:32
			in several places in the Quran.
		
01:35:34 --> 01:35:37
			And also that do not follow the desire,
		
01:35:37 --> 01:35:38
			lest you,
		
01:35:39 --> 01:35:40
			or you will or you will not be
		
01:35:40 --> 01:35:42
			able to be just.
		
01:35:42 --> 01:35:44
			So it Allah
		
01:35:45 --> 01:35:46
			is the only one who is
		
01:35:47 --> 01:35:48
			capable of perfect justice.
		
01:35:49 --> 01:35:51
			Right? Perfect justice
		
01:35:51 --> 01:35:53
			is not in our capacity.
		
01:35:54 --> 01:35:57
			However, what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala requires from
		
01:35:57 --> 01:35:59
			us is that we do our best.
		
01:36:00 --> 01:36:02
			And wherever we fall short,
		
01:36:03 --> 01:36:04
			we we ask Allah
		
01:36:05 --> 01:36:05
			to
		
01:36:06 --> 01:36:06
			compensate
		
01:36:07 --> 01:36:09
			over there out of his mercy.
		
01:36:11 --> 01:36:13
			There there was this a few more things
		
01:36:13 --> 01:36:14
			I wanted to share, but,
		
01:36:15 --> 01:36:16
			Hafsa, what do you think? One reflection?
		
01:36:17 --> 01:36:19
			One reflection? That's a lot of pressure on
		
01:36:19 --> 01:36:21
			one person. Can we do 2 2 reflections?
		
01:36:22 --> 01:36:25
			Okay. Sure. 30 seconds each. 30 seconds each.
		
01:36:25 --> 01:36:27
			We got 2 hands. Bismillah, Aziza, you go
		
01:36:27 --> 01:36:28
			right ahead.
		
01:36:28 --> 01:36:30
			No time to waste.
		
01:36:32 --> 01:36:34
			Aziza, 321. Give us Oh, there you go.
		
01:36:34 --> 01:36:35
			Lykham. Lykham.
		
01:36:35 --> 01:36:36
			The what?
		
01:36:37 --> 01:36:39
			Okay. So in in talking about being just,
		
01:36:39 --> 01:36:42
			I feel like sometimes we are not just
		
01:36:42 --> 01:36:43
			with ourselves.
		
01:36:44 --> 01:36:46
			You know, we try to be just with
		
01:36:46 --> 01:36:48
			everyone else, but
		
01:36:48 --> 01:36:49
			we don't,
		
01:36:50 --> 01:36:51
			take care of ourselves spiritually,
		
01:36:52 --> 01:36:53
			physically, mentally.
		
01:36:54 --> 01:36:55
			And I feel like that is something that
		
01:36:55 --> 01:36:57
			is really important because,
		
01:36:58 --> 01:36:59
			let me try to do this very quickly.
		
01:37:00 --> 01:37:03
			When you spoke about Amana, you spoke about,
		
01:37:03 --> 01:37:04
			Allah blessing us
		
01:37:04 --> 01:37:07
			with our bodies and everything.
		
01:37:07 --> 01:37:09
			We really don't, you know, be just. We
		
01:37:09 --> 01:37:11
			don't take care of ourselves the way that
		
01:37:11 --> 01:37:13
			we should. So I think
		
01:37:13 --> 01:37:15
			that, being just is not just with everyone
		
01:37:15 --> 01:37:17
			else, but we need to do it with
		
01:37:17 --> 01:37:18
			ourselves as well.
		
01:37:19 --> 01:37:20
			Beautiful. Aziza,
		
01:37:20 --> 01:37:22
			let's hear from Razan, inshallah, as our second
		
01:37:22 --> 01:37:25
			and final reflector. Razan, go right ahead, Bismillah.
		
01:37:30 --> 01:37:30
			Bismillah.
		
01:37:34 --> 01:37:35
			Bismillah, I know you have to head out,
		
01:37:35 --> 01:37:37
			so we'll still hear from Razan Insha'Allah, but
		
01:37:38 --> 01:37:39
			I just wanna make sure that you don't
		
01:37:39 --> 01:37:40
			miss your flight
		
01:37:40 --> 01:37:42
			or the the airport. So
		
01:37:43 --> 01:37:45
			we'll catch you tomorrow for tomorrow's Quran reflect
		
01:37:45 --> 01:37:46
			session but let's hear from Razan.
		
01:37:56 --> 01:37:58
			Oh. Justice, the more you realize
		
01:37:59 --> 01:38:02
			how much our religion is grounded in standing
		
01:38:02 --> 01:38:04
			up against operation.
		
01:38:07 --> 01:38:09
			Always with the one liners, Rizan.
		
01:38:09 --> 01:38:11
			I really appreciate your contribution today,
		
01:38:12 --> 01:38:13
			and I see another hand up, but I
		
01:38:13 --> 01:38:15
			do wanna be mindful. I know you guys
		
01:38:15 --> 01:38:17
			have been really patient with the timing for
		
01:38:17 --> 01:38:19
			today. It's been an amazing session with Sheikh
		
01:38:19 --> 01:38:22
			Omar, with brother Sadiq's reminder, with Usadda Taymiyyah,
		
01:38:22 --> 01:38:24
			and to all of you for your patience.
		
01:38:24 --> 01:38:26
			I know, especially with, you know, reminders and
		
01:38:26 --> 01:38:28
			charity appeals with all the things that that
		
01:38:28 --> 01:38:30
			need to be covered, especially in the situation
		
01:38:30 --> 01:38:31
			in fall is being sometimes we run a
		
01:38:31 --> 01:38:33
			little bit long in the time, so please
		
01:38:33 --> 01:38:35
			forgive us, for the shifting of the timeline
		
01:38:35 --> 01:38:36
			a little bit today. Tomorrow, we'll be back
		
01:38:36 --> 01:38:39
			to normal for our regularly scheduled programming, but
		
01:38:39 --> 01:38:41
			please, please, please, the purpose of that appeal,
		
01:38:41 --> 01:38:43
			the purpose for for making sure that you
		
01:38:43 --> 01:38:45
			guys had all the information at your fingertips
		
01:38:45 --> 01:38:46
			and and that you're aware of everything that's
		
01:38:46 --> 01:38:48
			happening, what's being done on the ground in
		
01:38:48 --> 01:38:49
			Palestine is so that you guys support and
		
01:38:49 --> 01:38:51
			help to alleviate that suffering. So the link
		
01:38:51 --> 01:38:52
			once again was islamicrelief.caforward/almaghar,
		
01:38:54 --> 01:38:56
			but you can, again, support from anywhere around
		
01:38:56 --> 01:38:58
			the world, and it's really our time to
		
01:38:58 --> 01:39:01
			take care of our our broken and tired
		
01:39:01 --> 01:39:03
			and beloved and hungry and orphaned brothers and
		
01:39:03 --> 01:39:05
			sisters and guys that we know too well
		
01:39:05 --> 01:39:06
			what's been happening there. You guys have seen
		
01:39:06 --> 01:39:08
			it all over your screens over the past
		
01:39:08 --> 01:39:11
			6 months. It's just it's inexcusable. I know
		
01:39:11 --> 01:39:12
			not not as if we're excusing it, but
		
01:39:12 --> 01:39:14
			it's it's impossible for us not to do
		
01:39:15 --> 01:39:17
			everything within our capacity right now. You know?
		
01:39:17 --> 01:39:19
			And I don't wanna go too too long
		
01:39:19 --> 01:39:20
			because I know I can't handle that either,
		
01:39:20 --> 01:39:23
			but, please, please, please, you know, support that
		
01:39:23 --> 01:39:25
			link, share it with others, spread it. May
		
01:39:25 --> 01:39:26
			Allah make it a huge source of care
		
01:39:26 --> 01:39:28
			and may Allah alleviate their suffering permanently.
		
01:39:29 --> 01:39:31
			But please take that reminder, take that time,
		
01:39:31 --> 01:39:33
			whatever amount that you are annoyed, put that
		
01:39:33 --> 01:39:34
			into your donations inshallah.
