00:00:01 --> 00:00:05
			All right everyone sit on money calm rockin to lucky we're gonna cancel. administrate
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:34
			Heyman handed in Daniel brown again, I don't want to do that alone I mean, but certainly in a lot
more sloppy with selling the Vatican II because a lot of it was it he was it he was selling this in
the cathedral and having the dealer we are back at 434 30. And we have our first repeat guest we
have stabbed the test niemand Creek soon to be Victoria to sneak peek in sha Allah joining us
tonight for this just and I want to start off with another
		
00:00:35 --> 00:01:15
			with another bush. Another glad tidings of this era. Great news that we had a sister that attended
for 3430. She's been attending sister Andrea from Ohio. And she was actually in the comments
yesterday and Paula, about four hours ago took Shahada as well over zoom and have that it also
sister Andrea May Allah bless you. I know she's she's watching tonight actually May Allah bless you
keep you sincere, steadfast and firm. So please pray for her, to be from the people of God and to
have beauty and ease in this in this this journey of hers along with me. So tonight is one of my it
is actually probably my favorite just because there are two very particular Sahaba stories that that
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:53
			are very touching in this story. And if you realize the first third of the Quran is actually the
story of Islam unfolding. And Pamela, that's something that one of my teachers pointed out to me.
Early on, he said, the first third of the Quran is the story of Islam. And then you kind of have all
of the things that come after that, that speak to the admonitions and the laws and the development
and things that we can take, which shows you the sensuality of the seat on the profits a whole lot
more. It was suddenly the biography of the Prophet, it was not an understanding and understanding
the Quran itself, knowing the sealer backgrounds. So the temperatures of the cold starts from the
		
00:01:53 --> 00:02:36
			last part of certain unfound which is verse 41. And it goes into verse 92, of suta Toba. As we said,
it comes off of the lengthiest discourse on the Battle of Bedouin and how the Muslims are after the
Battle of beddit. Hence, the name of the sutra, the spoils and fat. And as the Muslims are called to
honor the treaties, to not break them, as long as the other party honors them as well, to treat the
prisoners of war Well, finally, the Muslims are called to stand together and to join together as one
community against those who wish them harm from the outside. And so there are a few themes that I'm
going to hit on in Charlottetown. And then some stories that really come in this journey. Number
		
00:02:36 --> 00:03:12
			one, a loss of handouts out of that mentioned in verse 56 Lavina I had to mean home to my uncle, the
owner of the home he couldn't be mobile home later on lost friends I mentioned a group of this
believers who are despised and particularly he says they're the ones that you make treaties with but
then they break their pledge pledge he couldn't model they break the treaty every single time. Well
home is a phone and they don't have any fear of Allah subhana wa Tada. So they're going to keep on
breaking the treaty. The interesting thing is that still, the believers are called to reciprocate
good with good and to always lead the way when it comes to
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:56
			issues of peace. So in verse 16, these two verses 60 and 61 are so important to be read together in
verse 60. A certain and found a last printout says what are a doula who must apart from in core to
show and prepare your strength demonstrates strength and courage and, and a lack of fear and
vulnerability when you meet your enemies be prepared, be prepared from a military sense, be prepared
from a spiritual sense, you know, be prepared for a worst case scenario. And don't show your enemies
any type of weakness. Instead, show your enemies that you're ready that you're strong and that you
can defend yourself and that should award take place that you will be able to stand up for yourself
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:36
			as a community. And the very next verse, Allah subhanho wa Taala says we're in Jenna food is
suddenly fudging what's how I can add a lot in the whole was me already. And if they inclined to
peace, then you inclined to it also and rely upon Allah. Indeed it is he who is hearing and known so
how to love the very famous verse that gets thrown in the face of the Muslims to slay them wherever
you find them is in is in the same jersey it's in the beginning of sorts and Toba verse five to kill
them wherever you find them. It's literally talking about not just enemy troops, the enemy troops
who broke their Treaty and and attack the Muslims and actually non Muslims as well right attacked
		
00:04:36 --> 00:05:00
			people after breaking the treaty. So it's not just people that are opponents of war. It's people
that were opponents of war took a treaty with you broke the treaty and continue to kill and then
Allah subhanaw taala gives them the permission it gives the Muslims the permission to fight back so
you can't read. Kill them wherever you find them and then ignore the verses that comes you know in
the same section before that say if they are inclined towards peace, you should always end
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:14
			inclined towards peace, as well, in verse 71 of my favorite stories, and in the surah Allah subhanho
wa Taala says, You will never do poorly man feel a deep commitment a slight level of people who
become high on your
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:54
			income, way off the good luck Amala who are for Rahim? Oh, you Oh prophet say to whoever is in your
hands of the captives. If Allah knows of any good in your hearts, he will give you something better
than that which was taken away, and he will forgive you. And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. Say so
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is being told to be gentle with the captives, but to
particularly saying to the captives, that if Allah knows of something good in your hearts, not only
are you going to come out of this and be forgiven, but Allah is going to give you better than that
which was taken away. This verse was revealed, verse 70, about the uncle of the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:05:54 --> 00:06:01
			alayhi wa sallam, me a long time. And balance was, you know, on the other side on the Battle of
bedroom,
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:41
			but the profit slice of them said, some people need to count on that. How did that happen? Because
there's some people that were forced to come out to fight the Muslims. They had no interest
whatsoever in killing the Muslims. And when he showed up at the Battle of bedeutet, he literally
just stood there, he didn't attack anybody, right. He was like an idol. That's how he was described
some of them. And so there was a companion who was actually very small in stature. And an Ibis was a
huge man. And this companion was able use as soon as he got the allowance out. He went up to a bus,
and he jumped on him, like imagine a smaller stature man jumping on his back and tying him up and
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:56
			trying to rack them all up to take him as a captain. And so how the saw you sort of pulling him
pulling a bus to the other side? They were like, wait, what, how did that even happen? How did you
capture him? And we'll use he said, you know, looking around, and the idea here is
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:33
			what he said there was a man that helped me capture him because even if an Ibis wasn't fighting,
there's no way we could tie him up and capture and capture him that way. So he said, someone helped
me and I'd never seen him before. The prophets lie Selim said, not called Anaconda, he melakukan
Karim that it was a noble angel that assisted you in capturing an Ibis and the scholar say that
Allah wanted and I best captured early so that no one would tell him. So the Prophet solahart he was
send them has his uncle now as a captive. And this was painful for all of the people, all the
Muslims that their, their loved ones who came out to fight them were now their captives. This was
		
00:07:33 --> 00:08:15
			the first time they were going to experience that. And the prophet SAW some great pain, hearing, you
know, an evil Ibis. He was happy the groaning of it, I'm docilely Aloha, as he was tied up, and the
Prophet sallallahu wasallam any concession that he gave some advice he gave to all of the prisoners
about writing the prophets lie Selim tried whatever he could, you know, if you can teach people how
to read, then you can go free. There were various ways of ransom that were unknown to the Arabs that
the Prophet slicin was giving to try to ease the situation. And when he came to an Ibis, Ibis, he
told his uncle ransom yourself and I boss told me a lot of time he said, I don't have that kind of
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:19
			money. The profit slice on him said Where is that money that you hit you and
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:55
			your wife that and you told her if I'm killed, then save this for my son and father and I busted the
other slide. No one knew about that money except for me and my wife. How did you know? And the
Prophet sallallahu wasallam said ransom yourself with that. And I bass was said to the profit slice
um, you know that I didn't actually come here to fight you. Right that this was something that I was
pushed into, allow revealed, if Allah knows of that good in your hearts, Allah will give you back
what you lost and better than it and Allah subhana wa, tada will forgive you. And I bustled Lila
Han, who said, Well, lucky, I never gotten richer than I did after the Battle of bandage allowed
		
00:08:55 --> 00:09:33
			replaced everything he took away from the ransom with so much more. And bass was so rich that in the
in the last sermon of the Prophet sallallahu, alayhi wasallam. The prophets I seldom relinquished
all of the loans that were due to an apostle the a lot of time and with that, in that in particular
the interest that was due to time bass while the allot of time. So that's sort of dull and fun, then
we get into sort of the tilbyr. In brief, why is there no best manner Bismillah R Rahman Rahim and
sort of the Toba. There is an authentic narration in cinema v that even Ambassador the alignable man
he said, I asked her it's not even our family alarm, why there was no best mentor and earth mammal,
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:59
			the Allahu taala animal basically said that, unlike the southern sky, which are the long students
the seven long Sutras, and found in a toga were like one surah. So it's almost as if they're one
sutra because they're referring to the same context and so they didn't put the best metal because of
the continuation of it as if it's one surah. between the two. A tow boat was revealed after taboo.
So it's way after unfair
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:42
			And to walk was a battle where the Muslims had planned to squander an attack that was expected from
the Romans from the Byzantines. And so the Prophet slicin and marched in the heat with 30,000
soldiers to occupy it. But it ended and no battle and no bloodshed. But still, there was a great
lesson to the believers. In verse 25, was sort of to Toba. Allah mentions the only other battle by
name and the plan. So there's that. And then there's your name, the Battle of her name, Allah says,
Well, yomo Nene and Agia butcombe Kapha to confirm them took me on and on the date of her name. When
your great number please do but it did not avail you at all. So the lessons of bed did work, you
		
00:10:42 --> 00:11:23
			were outnumbered, but a lot gave you victory. The lessons of her name is that you had great numbers,
but the Muslims struggled mightily in her name, and a last that's our job at Coca Cola to come. You
were impressed. You looked around and said, We outnumber them. Right? So we must this is this is in
the bag. It's an easy battle. Right? And Allah was teaching them a lesson, it never was about your
number, it was always about a lost blessing with you. And do not let your impression lead to a sense
of arrogance, right that you depend upon your strength. So Allah reminding the believers not to get
not to become proud or not to develop a sense of conceit, due to the the numbers that they have. And
		
00:11:23 --> 00:12:01
			then some had a lot in verse 40, the story of a Wilbekin vehicle or the lack of time in the cave
with the Prophet sallallahu wasallam. And I know I'm going over time, so I'm just gonna rush this
really quick. There's a lot in this sort of about the hypocrites a lot makes it clear that suited to
Toba is about the Manasa T. Where does the story bubble Beckett will be alone and will come from
right in the hinterland out of all places. Because a lot is reminding the the people that you know
when no one would go with the profit slice, Wilbekin will be a loved one who was there with him in
the cave, if you go to the Sahil tasm in the LA Marina, when he said to his companion Do not grieve
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:43
			Verily, Allah is with us. Okay. So that's the story of uncle Beckett's suddenly from the hill, which
has nothing to do with the rest of the context that's plugged here. What's the wisdom of that? Verse
42, just to the verse literally that comes after this. A lot talks about the hypocrites that are the
opposite of Wilbekin. They swear it will say any foreigner be law, they swear that lowest in
America, if we could, we would go out with your messenger of Allah. Right, so they're the opposite
of Wilbekin who went out with the Prophet sly Salaam. Despite all obstacles, the hypocrites keep
making excuses to not accompany the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam, in verse 55 of lost passes
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:43
			are
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:47
			read aloud.
		
00:12:48 --> 00:13:29
			To jr that do not let their wealth or their children impress you Allah only intends to punish them
through that in this worldly life. So remember, we talked about Baraka yesterday, blessing and
wealth? Allah says Don't be impressed by their wealth and their power a lot is merely punishing them
with their wealth and their power. And then I'll end with this inshallah, verse 79. Verse 79, is the
hypocrites mocking the believers. And they mocked the believers particularly, they do lems, which is
to belittle them. And unless contrast says they're not belittling any believers, they're belittling
the ones that actually went forth and contributed and worked with the prophets lie. Some of them,
		
00:13:30 --> 00:14:07
			they belittle them consider concerning their charities. And they criticize the ones who find nothing
to spend except for their effort, meaning, they say what, what good is that that they went out with
the profit slice on anyway, so they belittle them? They mock their efforts. So last, but yes, hold
on, I'm in home, something along at home, so they ridicule the believers that are doing something.
And so Allah subhana wa Jalla ridicules them. And there are two things you'll always find in the
hypocrites and I know that sister test name is going to talk about this inshallah. Two things that
are inherent in this surah. Number one, they mock the efforts of the doers as being flawed and
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:42
			insignificance while having no effort of their own to be mocked. That's the first thing. So they
keep mocking this out, what's the good of that? Anyway, they're not doing anything anyway. There's
no point in that anyway. They mock the doers amongst the believers, while they have nothing to be
mocked in the first place. The second thing, they blame the circumstances around them for their own
inaction. And then they make these lofty claims that if the circumstances were different, we would
surpass every one of our deeds. So if things were different, we would do this and we would do that
sounds a lot like a lot of people, right, like just poke, poke, poke, poke poke. Now, that's not to
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:59
			say everyone who does these two things isn't one ethic. That's just to say that these are signs of
hypocrisy that a person could become, could become immersed in this and verse 92 Subhan, Allah
refers to the two men who wanted to accompany the Prophet slice of them sincerely, but they had
legit
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:10
			excuses and a lot of writes down the full reward for them. So I know I took extra time and inshallah
tada I know that it'll be beautified inshallah tada with what Chicagoland sister test name will
share. So it's
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:21
			so nice enough to send me that I still love what Allah says I'm gonna let my bad i mean what? What
can I say that's what the Quran does to you, man you start you don't want to stop you really really
don't want to stop you just want to
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:26
			keep going so I'm just going to cover my shell a verse
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:35
			it's a beautiful verse it's it's talking about you massage it and I chose this verse because firstly
this chapter Subhanallah
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:40
			you know if there's nine names that some of the scholars mentioned that this chapter has,
		
00:15:41 --> 00:16:21
			and Toba was chosen because you find the word Toba mentioned multiple times in the Quran in
different chromatic or different morphologic makeup, you know, attack a boon in them your tubu so
forgiveness or seek or repentance, excuse me, is mentioned 17 different times in this chapter.
Hence, the chapter was given that name, they even call it the fall behind, you know, fully the
chapter of embarrassment or embarrassing because Allah mentions over 20 characteristics of the
monastic wound of the hypocrites. And remember when we say hypocrites, it's not just someone that
does what they don't that says what they don't do. It's someone that hides disbelief in their heart,
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:57
			and they do the opposite. And that's very important, as we talked about earlier, a couple of days
ago that you know, in Mecca, it was people that were very apparent with their disbelief and they
would verbally and physically even emotionally harm the province of Allahu Allah he was selling
them. But in this case now in Medina, now they have strength. There are people that are joining
Islam, but they are hiding in their hearts disbelief and planning and plotting against the Prophet,
peace and blessings be upon him. Many of us heard the story of who they are a disciple named who
they felt that he was the only one that the 14 hypocrites were disclosed to them because when they
		
00:16:57 --> 00:17:33
			were going on in the Battle of to book as he mentioned, when they're going north, to to book which
borders Saudi Arabia, there were people that were still of the hypocrites. So when the prophets of
Allah it was seldom went to a certain area to see, he said, penalize somebody hypocrites thought
that they could try to kill Him and who they thought was with him. So when they plot and plan, they
had their faces covered and they tried to kill him. They were not successful in doing so in any
case, that's in the province of Aloha, do some ask who they for? Do you know who they were, they
were the hypocrites that were trying to kill me. In any case, when we see this chapter of Edmund
		
00:17:33 --> 00:18:09
			Africa, and we see this chapter, that alasa panda with Donna is talking about the hypocrites. What's
important here is that the Muslim distinguishes themselves from the people that may disguise or act
as the hypocrites. That's why I suppose it's so beautiful that you'll see throughout the traditions
of the Prophet peace and blessings be upon him which, which coincides with the Koran amongst over 20
characteristics that he mentions in this chapter alone, that you'll find even in the Hadith, where
the Prophet peace and blessings be upon him says these are signs of a hypocrite, not meaning that if
you were to practice one of those things, you are automatically a hypocrite from a spiritual
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:50
			perspective. No, it's Be on the lookout and see how you are acting with others, to make sure it is
not the action of someone that plots and plans within their hearts against Islam. And that's very
important. One of the strongest signs that a communicate community can establish is maintenance of
the masjid and alasa kind of what Allah says here in the Quran. After all, we live in a shunning
regime. In verse number 18, in the Miyamoto Musashi, the law, he meant me to be law he will Yeoman
farmers. So that's our answers the cats out when I'm in the law for ourselves, he can yakun meaning
taking a loss of kind of what the Allah mentioned this verse right after mentioning that the people
		
00:18:50 --> 00:19:27
			that have a polytheistic practice, they should not be the ones to maintain the houses of a law
because the houses of a law are just that they're places where a Muslim exemplifies their, their
their belief in Islam, their creed, by praying five times a day by making Vicar by you know, by
remembering a lot verbally, physically, emotionally, all at one time, primarily in the first pillar,
the second pillar of Islam, which is the prayer. And that's one of the best forms of exemplification
of the first pillar, because you're moving all of your limbs and your heart is, is awake and
attentive. So a loss is in them a
		
00:19:29 --> 00:20:00
			means someone that has a long lifespan and Sharla and Claire, so someone that not only establishes
but maintains the houses of a lot. So when we see the word Omar or email means building, it is
something that when the Muslim is there, they maintain it, not just building the structures, but
being someone that is consistently there going back and forth and praying there and having events
there, so on and so forth. Now that we are here currently at home and we're not able to do that,
it's very important that the other characteristics are out there.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:32
			After that are still maintained amongst ourselves in Charlottetown. He said the ones that maintain
the houses of Allah are the ones that believe in Allah, and the last day and they established a
prayer and they paid this a cat and they feared none except the lump. So those people are the ones
that believe in Allah subhanho wa Taala. And they believe in the last day being that there is a day
that will everything will perish, and everything will have to answer to a lawsuit kind of without
it. They believe that there is a day of accountability. But in this life, they do actions to make
sure that when that day comes, that they're in front of a loss front, Allen, he is pleased with them
		
00:20:32 --> 00:21:10
			in any case, that the characteristics of the people of the ones that will maintain the houses of law
are the ones that believe in the law had this conviction, and they believe in the last day and they
pray which is an action of showing that in the established they give the Zakat and they fear none
but Allah subhanho wa Taala because perhaps they will be of those who are the mortality and as we
mentioned earlier guidance, these will be the actions of the people of guidance. So with that, I
want to conclude inshallah, being that we at our homes now we long to go to the masjid we longed to
go to the mosque, but recognize or realize for those that are not at the mosque because you know,
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:50
			boards have closed them down for an Islamic reason amongst Sheree and Islamic objective, which is
preservation of life and taking the means in doing that. But the heart that is tied to the masjid in
sha Allah, may Allah subhanho wa Taala make us a little seven that are under the shade of a lot of
his throne. On the day that there is no shade except that shade, regular oL boohooman metallic
violet been messed up in massage, a man or a woman that his heart or her heart clings to the
message. So just remember that your intention, you will be rewarded for it and the shittier if you
have an intention of doing something and you are prohibited from doing that it is as though you have
		
00:21:50 --> 00:22:26
			done so me Allah Subhana Allah make us of those that preserved the messages, even if we are far
away, but we can still donate to those beautiful causes or maintain these beautiful places known as
the places of sujood, which are the places of prostration the masjid medical or fecal ciloxan
eliassen vocal and venum Hammad, while Annie was definitely me, Zack a lot of power, like you said,
it's not about the actual action being performed. Because right after a lot of talks about those
hypocrites that made excuses not to do anything, and that they would be punished for that. A lot of
talks about those two men that wanted to go with the profit slice alone and couldn't do it and
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:38
			getting the full reward without any deficiency whatsoever. So it's about the intention, and the
soundness of the intention that manifests itself in certain behavior. So inshallah so just name take
us away and shuffle.
		
00:22:39 --> 00:23:23
			Everyone, as always, you guys warm that up really well, for me, I wanted to highlight the aspect of
intention to some degree. So insert into Toba where you have the story of the Battle of temple that
Shahar had mentioned that that's happening. And essentially what's going on is that the process of
lamb is going to meet with the believers, the Romans, or what what was supposed to be with the
Romans. And of course, in that all of the people who are you know, outwardly Muslim are invited to
come to come in join in that. Now of course, what happens is that you have the whenever you're on
the hypocrites, what they do is, you know, they put up every excuse possible, you know, so the
		
00:23:23 --> 00:24:00
			apostle Salaam is preparing everyone, all of the believers to come through. And you know, suddenly,
the a lot of the hypocrites come up and they tell the rest of them all these excuses, you know,
sorry, can't really make it you know, the sinner cancelled whatever it was all these different
excuse to basically say, we're not showing up, we're not coming to fight, we don't really believe in
you. And this is not something we're willing to risk our lives for. Of course, they don't say that.
And the process of them being who he was. He essentially forgives them or doesn't push push them to
come. And so what you see them in a passage inserted to doba is the last cartographer says, You
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:39
			know, I follow him on Kadima and tell him that the tons of promises of them that you know, you
shouldn't have forgiven them. And and he follows that up by saying, you know what, even if they did
come, even if they did show up, even if they didn't make up these excuses, a lot of data says, what
about other furuya? I do love that had they actually wanted to come, they would have made those
preparations when it can take a long biasa Home for the homeowner to mouthguard you. But let's find
out I hated for them to come and didn't basically want them to interfere and ruin things because he
knew their true intentions. But I want to focus here on on the very beginning of this, this idea
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:50
			which is very powerful, where it says, What are others Raja, if they really want it to go out? If
they really want it to go out here in the context of the battle that I do love.
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:59
			They would have prepared for it. A preparation, right? Not just that I do, they would have prepared
for it. But let's emphasize it, they would have really done so
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:44
			Something if they actually want it to go like I do, I want that to sit settle in. Because basically
what else comes out is saying that they have no intention of going, they put they did nothing, they,
they prepared nothing to make it clear that they had any, any desire to join the process. Now, I
want to sort of remove that from the context of this battle of the hypocrites for a second and think
about how this ayah, which you know, is seemingly so tied to specific context is so relatable for us
today. Because basically, what's happening is that there is an event happening, there's a goal in
place, there's something there's a plan in place, and that the hypocrites made up excuses, didn't
		
00:25:44 --> 00:26:21
			want to do anything, and never really worked towards that plan. So when we think of it in the
context of our lives today, is that when when we set goals, when we set plants, that there, there's
an expectation that you're doing something to prepare for that, right. And so again, this is just to
really relate to something that is very much contextual, that the fact that it was hard to add is
bringing this up as hard as recognizing that you can have, you know, you can say whatever you want,
but if you don't have an intention, and on top of that, if you don't have a plan in place, what does
that mean? And that's something that I really think that is relevant to us, especially in Ramadan.
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:57
			Now this can be taken across, you know, for anything, right, this can be taken, whether it's our
school life, or work life, but I want to focus specifically on our spiritual life, right, we're in
Ramadan, Panama, we're already almost 10 days in, we've got we've had a lot of goals set for this
Ramadan, you know, we've we, the last 10 nights have allowed probably have plenty more goals. And
that's great. But if we don't actually we can have intention that you know, all the attention that
we want. But if we don't do something to prepare for those goals, we have to ask ourselves, what
does that mean? Because at the end of the day, if we don't have something to show for it, then
		
00:26:57 --> 00:27:31
			there's only so so much effort we actually put in, we just made those excuses to ourselves when that
time came, because we weren't prepared. And we didn't end up meeting those goals, right. And so
that's exactly what happened when they had no preparation, they had no intention of doing anything.
So it's no surprise that they weren't able to achieve those goals. And so it's it's super important.
And I could talk a lot about this, but I will switch over just for the sake of time. But having when
we think about those goals, think about all those different excuses that are probably going to come
up, you know, philosopher, knights of Milan, if you're planning on doing that a week, if you're
		
00:27:31 --> 00:28:07
			planning on doing piano, if you know, it's just normal, and you're trying to memorize a few few
verses of the Quran every single day. If you have those goals in mind, think about all those excuses
that can come to mind and what you're going to do when those excuses come up, but also seriously
consider that you need to have a plan in place. And now going back to the context of the monastic
one of the hypocrites. What happens next, right? So the Prophet was my daughter responds and says
what they you know, they didn't even prepare for it. And besides Allah subhanaw taala knew what
their intentions knew their malicious intent, and they weren't. They weren't met they weren't
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:13
			decreed to go anywhere. Now, what what the what comes next is the hypocrites say,
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:54
			for the sake of time, I'll stick with the English that basically, whenever anything good happens to
the believers, it hurts them, it harms them. But when something bad happens to them, you know,
talking to the believers, if there's a mostly by that happens, that befalls them that this this
trial or anything that bad happens, then they say, what do they say in response specifically, in
this context, they say, well, we took our precautions, we did what we needed to do, you know, you
guys went out to battle to book you guys, if they went, they came back victorious, that would have
hurt them. But if they came back as losers as what the hypocrites perceived to be a loss, they sit
		
00:28:54 --> 00:29:23
			back all smug and say, Well, good thing we didn't go we took our precautions. We knew exactly what
we're doing, right? And what happens after that loss. Panda says in response to this, he tells the
Delta believers, when the hypocrites do this, what do you say? Will you see by Elana catchable long
letter that you say that nothing is going to happen to us, except that which has been decreed for
us? Why don't ye for the advocate in what we know, and upon a law we put our trust, right? And so
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:57
			again, going back to sort of example that I wanted to highlight here for the sake of really taking
advantage of Ramadan is that you know what, you're going to prepare, you're going to have all these
goals in mind and you're going to have sincere intention, preparation, but things might not go your
way sometimes, right? But that doesn't matter because you've made that preparation. You've made that
intention. But then you'll see vanilla marketable load and everything that does affect you that does
get in your way is something that was patent decrees, and what do you do in response? What are the
life of your token what we knew that you played, you place your trust in a wasp and tada and the
		
00:29:57 --> 00:29:59
			cherry on top is the idea that comes after us.
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:30
			Right after this well let's find out as it continues, he said tells the believers What do you say?
Wouldn't it be nice if he did his name? You tell him whenever the whenever the thing I think that
the hypocrites are saying, you know, either they're gonna come back and they're gonna win they're
expecting to one of two things, they're gonna come back victorious that's gonna really affect us.
We're not going to be happy about that, or they're gonna come back as losers and we're going to be
smug and happy. What it was hard to say. No, no, you tell them what, what's really happening? Hey,
Tara, Botswana, Vina Isla del Hosni, that you're just sitting around waiting for only one of two
		
00:30:30 --> 00:31:08
			things, one of two good things, right? Where are they going to win? Are you going to win as
believers, you are never losing. When you put in that intention, you put in that preparation, you're
always a winner, that either the Muslims were going to go out to the battle to book and they would
come back, they're going to come back victorious. And you know what, even if they came back having
lost the battle, they are still victorious in the sight of loss. Not that there's only good that
happens. And you know what, if they come, they come back, they don't come back because of that,
again, that's only a victory. If they go and they come in any situation, it's always just a win. And
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:46
			so to summarize, and into title together is that make those goals, prepare as much as you can have
intention and really have something to show for that preparation, not just preparation, but you're
preparing for a preparation, emphasize it just as data emphasizes in the end. And when things are
going to happen. Life happens right? You know kids are sick you're exhausted someone in your family
six something's happening with your job, whatever it is, no, that was to Allah has decreed that and
put your trust and was planted and and continue that and know that no matter what happens, as long
as you have that preparation, you have that intention. You meet those goals. you memorize it and you
		
00:31:46 --> 00:32:23
			you play the piano last night, guess Guess what? her boss would have been elected president, you're
a winner only one thing that that good thing happened to you. And you know what, if you did what you
had to do, and you tried your best electors name is only one of two good things, you're still
victorious in the sight of last Tada. So keep that hopefully in mind as motivation to continue to
push hard and no matter what as long as you have done your part, you will be victorious inshallah,
in the sight of lost data, or 70, or something like that was excellent panel. And just to remind
everyone sort of the take home, this was my favorite session, as far as about a philosophy come.
		
00:32:24 --> 00:33:04
			A lot did not give us the stories of buddies that are ill, so that we could mark a previous oma, but
to interrogate our own oma meaning ourselves, if we consider ourselves a part of it to say how do we
do better. And a lot did not give us these examples of the monastic team, for us to mock the
hypocrites, but to interrogate ourselves with the qualities of hypocrisy. I mean, a new fart alarm
on Earth has been Mr. Little villans, and no one is safe from hypocrisy, or no one feels safe from
hypocrisy except to hypocrite. And so I think it'd be fitting that we leave this session tonight,
with a reflection of the prophets lie Sunday, right about the signs of the one Africa when he speaks
		
00:33:04 --> 00:33:44
			he lives. And you see here that they were lying with very consequential things. You know why the us
laugh when they make promises, they break their promises, and you see here broken promises in this
first few chapters, way that tahmina Han. And when they're trusted with something they break those
trusts, so they violate the covenants, all three things that are prominent in the stories of the
massive pain with big things here. And also some other qualities of hypocrisy, right, like not
wanting to see the believers do well, when you see someone making an effort, and you want them to
fail so that you can say, Aha, I told you. So that's a sign of hypocrisy we should want Well, we
		
00:33:44 --> 00:34:16
			should want everyone who's making an effort to do well, we should make their app for them. And when
we see Knox when we see shortcoming, we asked the last contact to bless them and to make it easy for
them. And we should interrogate ourselves with hypocrisy. Each and every single one of us. This
isn't like a sword to come out with and say, when asked when African ethic, just like with tech fee
of just like with Kufa, to the prophets lie some stuff that, you know, he was asking an owner to
shift who's closer to Shere Khan, they throw out the claims of tech fear that you're a disbeliever
not the one who is being thrown out the one who's throwing it. Same thing with hypocrisy, that
		
00:34:16 --> 00:34:56
			throwing those things that people usually is a sign of, of having that quality yourself and so a lot
of FEMA last protect this it is the worst state to be in. And you know, I found this very
beneficial. So technolo fayda sR tasneem and show him the love for the session, and may loss
penalty. Protect us all from hypocrisy and protect us all from falling short in his sights. May
Allah make us victorious in his sights, may Allah make us sincere in his sights. May Allah accept
our efforts even if they come short. In the actual achievement in the world, the sons may last
pounce on not allow us to be impressed by our own capabilities, but instead to be guided by that
		
00:34:56 --> 00:34:59
			which is pleasing to Him. And may Allah subhanho wa Taala allow us to achieve
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:11
			Allah means so second law favor and inshallah to Allah we'll see you all tomorrow night. Started
outside of America there'll be no Mohammed Ryan early he was happy he was for them to see him and
kathira was for that morning.
