			Dr Hameed onto the CHF doctor for the doctor seat who's

			and you can see the terminates donation button as well. What does that mean? Well hold on. And we'll
go ahead and get started in Charlottetown. So we're on June 13. We had a beautiful lesson on sort of
use of last night,
		
00:01:54 --> 00:02:37
			thinking about use of adding his salon, and the change of fortune and all of the things that he went
through. And the way that use of it is set up is the subtle bush or the subtle glad tidings of a lot
of talks about sort of hoods that then comes out and perfects the legacy carries forth the blessing
of his father, his grandfather and his great grandfather Ibrahim it set up and the 13th was actually
some handleless starts with the turning point use of slife. So verse 53, to the end, which is use of
it so I'm being appointed as the Kings cabinet minister, and then you start to see use of it his
Salaam, showing superiority and his Alok superiority and his character. And this is something very
		
00:02:37 --> 00:03:18
			beautiful, because the first example which is where use of brothers come to Egypt to get food and
great use of ask them to bring Binyamin, his younger brother used to Friday his setup demonstrates a
superior level of compassion. And then you have your whole body has said I'm demonstrating a
superior level of patience. And then you have use of it. He said I'm demonstrating superior
forgiveness, right a superior level of forgiveness and then you have Yaqoob it is Salaam
demonstrating a superior level of hope to things between the father and the son that showed these a
lot these beautiful qualities that transition down from the boy whom it is to them. These were
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:56
			qualities of the mighty mighty is Salaam sovereign Jimmy and beautiful patience was the quality of
Abraham it is Salaam forgiveness was the quality of the bond here it is that I'm seeing beauty even
in the people that harm you think of Ibrahim alayhis salaam and how he spoke to his father, and
still had that level of love and compassion towards his father and think of the way that use of how
he approaches his brothers as well. And so these are Clark these beautiful, noble qualities that
transition through the Abrahamic line, both in lineage as well as in the way that it was taught and
the way that it was inherited. If you go to the end of the surah, right in the previous surah. The
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:39
			good news was that she is the one that gives the good news is the angel telling Ibrahim alayhis
salaam and Sabah about the two blessings Isaac is happy and Yahoo Jacob right so there's a Bashir
the one giving the glad tidings isn't Angel, giving the glide tidings of his half and Yaqoob. Here,
the good news, the same word is actually used the machine but it's not an angel. Of course the
machine is the one who's giving the glide tidings is speaking to your pool buddy his salon. And
what's the glide tiding he is giving to Jacob that both of his sons use of it his Salaam and
Binyamin are alive. So some kind of law to glad tidings are given to Yaqoob and in a very similar
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:59
			fashion, as his grandfather is given the glad tidings of his father and then him. And there's a
beautiful narration that majestically Mola narrates that when the Bashir came to court when the one
who gave the glad tidings to Jacob came to him to tell him that his son was still alive and that his
son had actually ascended Yaakov it is an absolute key for talk to us.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:31
			He said, How did you leave him? And what state? Was he gonna talk to? Who is another muscle? He
said, I left him and he was the minister over agent. He said, Lisa and had a look. He said, That's
not what I'm asking you. I'm not asking you about his financial thing. I'm not asking you about his
wealth. That's not the goal of life for us. That's not why we're here. He said, talk to her, Ed,
what religion did you leave him on? He said, talk to vida Dean and his family. So I left them in a
state of Islam in a state of submission to the oneness of Allah, Karla Jacobi our core values that
are
		
00:05:32 --> 00:06:13
			similar to Nirvana. Now, the blessing has been complete. Remember you Tim and Eric Mehta, who is a
co worker that came out of timber the other week, that the blessing would be complete, the blessing
is complete, that the dean, that use of it is allowed through all of the trauma that he had been
through that yaku was not yet fully aware of in terms of all of the twists and turns that would take
place in his life. But the beautiful thing here is that jacoba Islam said, was his Islam intact
through whatever he went through over these last two decades, where he was absent for me was his
faith intact, and a lot tells us right, and certain buckler will also be hackable or he will be
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:21
			Benny, here we are, oh, yeah, video, in the last video, I'm watching the indo anti muslim on quantum
Shahada. If, however, they are old enough to
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:26
			remember the guy who wouldn't eat Africa
		
00:06:28 --> 00:07:11
			was happy and lucky that when a Muslim or a low gives us the story of the death of Ibrahim, and sort
of bacala, giving the inheritance of Islam to his children, and then his children, saying to their
children, stay upon faith and then jacoba has said I'm saying to his children, Jacob saying to his
children don't die except as a Muslim, and how to suit a use of end use of it. He said, I'm turning
to Allah and saying, Tell us any Muslim and what is happening beside him, allow me to die. This is
verse 101. caused me to die as a Muslim. And join me with the righteous. Remember, the scariest I
have the previous Surah Surah Hood was a stepping command to stay firm upon the religion to stay
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:26
			firm upon this, this path. And here you have this, this desire for for use of it set out to stay
firm. Yeah, cool to see his son firm, and Ibrahim alayhis salaam and soon to shut up by the way.
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:38
			Verse 78, to 83 Ibrahim ends his draft, I'll be heavily hoekman will help me to slaughter him that
allow me to follow in the path of the writers and sort of realize
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:47
			that there is not the verse of sodalite. So remember, last night, I said that if you notice, there's
something in the first I wasn't.
		
00:07:48 --> 00:08:26
			It wasn't the other flower meme or the elephant ama. Every one of these sort of starts off with a
verse about the poor app a lot declaring the greatness of the poor. And so we'll see how long this
carries because it carried with the two previous Sooners and is going to carry through all of the
suitors and this just as well, a verse extolling the virtues of the Quran, verse 24, sort of odd,
Allah subhana wa tada talks about the people who enter agenda because of the patience that they had,
and the angels entering, entering upon them saying, so we're not an eco be Master, so long term for
near America, you know, peace beyond to you for the patients that you had. And what a beautiful
		
00:08:26 --> 00:09:03
			abode. This is. So Pamela, we just heard about suborn jahmene, the beautiful patients of Yahuwah at
his salon, and now you have the reward agenda that's being elaborated on is sort of the life. Some
of the scholars say that Allah mentions the reward and glory in dunya, and sort of use it, but the
reward of Gemma is what's elaborated on and sort of the lives so it's like the agenda of this world,
or rather, the glory of this world is nothing in comparison to the glory of the hereafter. And the
true agenda of this world is in the vicar of Allah is in the remembrance of Allah and in the team.
I'm not just plugging that by the way, verse 28, inshallah, of this verse, finally, sutra, Brahim,
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:45
			and it always comes back to him it is Salaam, Abraham, where Allah subhana wa tada says, what is to
come let in Chicago to him that as he doesn't come with it in Catholicism in vitosha de verse seven
and remember when your Lord proclaimed, if you are grateful, I will surely increase you in favor but
if you deny indeed my punishment is severe. And I want to end with this one I and then I'll pass it
off to Chicago lunch Allah. pseudo hood was about having us the Dhamma was about being firm. Right?
So to Yousef is the story of two people that maintain firmness in their faith, despite all sorts of
trials and tribulations, things that could have uploaded faith and most normal people only increase
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:59
			the faith of Yaqoob and Yusuf and they drew closer to Allah subhanho tab. In this sort of pseudo
Rahim, the verse which describes the rootedness of faith is verse 24. And I'm taller okay for a lot
of Allah who method and Kenny
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:40
			bets on labor to play You bet. Us Neuharth our bets, well, federal health system app, have you not
considered how a lot presents an example, a good word like a good tree, whose root is firmly fixed,
firmly fixed in the heart, and its branches are high in the sky, always producing fruit. This shows
you that the Muslim lives between sugar and sublime. And it's no between gratitude and patience. And
it's no secret that in this job, you have the most famous verse about sugar coated, most famous
verse about gratitude. And the most famous verse about patience, both together, because that's how
these these people live their lives. Ibrahim alayhis salam, his descendants all live their lives
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:58
			between patience and gratitude. And they've had the karma firmness because that law was a firmly
rooted treat in their hearts. And that's the tree that we're called to plant in our hearts as well.
And with that, and shall pass to Chicago to talk about another verse about near mancell about
blessing and gratitude and sort of
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:09
			second law here and Bismillah he or salatu salam ala rasulillah, he was he was suffering women with
that rubbish Ronnie so that he is in the mid washroom, aka dexamethasone. Yes.
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:49
			So as he mentioned, Mashallah, the shift alluded to or actually mentioned, the name or how the
verses mentioned, blessings, and acknowledgement of the blessings. And then even in the chapter,
Ebrahim, which you mentioned, which is one of my favorites, sword has all this sort of very
beautiful, how the verse of sugar, and sugar comes with knowing the blessings that are upon you and
others, then you recognizing that a loss of kind of $1 has placed his blessing on you, or other than
you, recognizing acknowledging that and doing something about it from that is gratitude. Now the
gratitude can be through your actions through your tongue. But it's very, very important because in
		
00:11:49 --> 00:12:23
			the verse you mentioned earlier, earlier, he says, if you were to be thankful than I would increase
you, when he talks about increasing he doesn't mention in what he doesn't mention them, I wouldn't
be he doesn't mention the object of that which he will increase you in rather he leaves it blank,
just as we say, Allahu Akbar, and then it's blank, who barddhaman Cooley say he's greater than
anything you can imagine and fathom and that what you can't even fathom and imagine. The verse that
I want to talk about here is in the chapter Ebrahim, Allah subhanho wa Taala Subhan. Allah, he
mentioned just just a snippet of certain things that we take for granted sometimes, and we remember
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:36
			them, but even within our remembrance of those objects, it will never, ever, ever amount to the
amount of gratitude that he deserves, and the loss of kind of what data says
		
00:12:37 --> 00:13:18
			in verse number 32. And these verses roughly 31 through 34 talk about sugar and being Britishness
and mentioning the objects that you should be good tissues upon. He says after the blemishes on a
gene, Allah who led the Holocaust and it will although ends elemina somat Emma and human SMRT Let's
collect them a portion of the verse so that's what Allah says, Allah who led the Holocaust will
Allah is the one that created the heavens and the earth. ones that I mean I send that email and for
RGB heat minister, Marathi rescorla calm, he created the heavens and the earth and then he causes a
water to descend down from the heavens, I mean a semi a mountain for 100 gb even if the Marathi risk
		
00:13:18 --> 00:14:03
			or lecom and from that water that soaks into the ground, agriculture comes forth. seminars fruits
are that which is of agriculture risk, but why as a means of provision for you, as he mentioned
another verse in the Quran, who will lead the Haleakala Kuma field or the Jimmy and he has created
everything on this earth for you to indulge upon to embark upon to use but in a manner that is
befitting to His Majesty. So then he says here, that's the first thing he says he says the response
let them what's the hora Luqman full Kalitta Judea feel badly be angry, and then he has made for
you, he has made for you the ships to sail through the sea with his honor with His permission. The
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:47
			Emory was Sahara like woman and her and then he has made for you the rivers. So, notice he says
Sahara the Sahara come He has made really is actually subjugated for you, subjugated for you, these
these ships that you will go on the sea by his his his order and his divine wisdom. And if you
notice, he says be me because when you are in the sea you have no ultimate control over which
direction you will ultimately go if the wind is going profusely and you cannot control that. So
there has to be a level of talk called so when seeing that Allah says he does all of this for you,
subjugated it for you. You know as the law says in the chapter 100 lay your own movement omim people
		
00:14:47 --> 00:15:00
			should not be little or scold one another because when you do that it is as though you are
subjugating them to what you are saying about them you are making them lesser than you. So in a lot
subjugates it it's a reminder that he has ultimate duty
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:39
			over it and then he says to Pinilla or SOHCAHTOA shumsa will comment on dat eBay and then Allah
subhanaw taala says, and he has subjugated for you the sun and the moon in a continuous orbits, that
urbane means continuous, it's always moving as a lot of talks about the people that fit around. He
says cadet be early for the owner with a leading company that means that which is continuous that
which they continuously did, it was their norm. So when Allah says here Sahaja come with some sort
of camara de ebaying he's made the sun and the moon is that which will continuously swim and float,
it will never turn off, it will always be there was so caught in a coma Layla when, and he is
		
00:15:39 --> 00:16:18
			subjugated for you, the night and the day that which emanates from the Sun is that which we know is
the daytime. And that which emanates or we see when the sun leaves, we see that the nighttime is
here. And a strong sign of that is the moon. And also the moon is that which we determined the
beginning of the month. And we determined with the lunar calendar didn't last kind of what data says
what ads are coming tomorrow. And then he just gets to the point. It's like saponify you see all of
these things. You just make an analogy of any other form of creation, anything that you can imagine
and know that Allah has subjugated it to His Majesty.
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:36
			And when the last month Allah concludes with this, these small examples, he says what adds Aquaman
coolness ultimo, he's giving you everything that you've asked for. But the beautiful verse here is
Apollo, it really hits home. We're into Doo Mata LA, he left her so her Lord
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:52
			has fallen. He said, If you were to try to count or enumerate the blessing of Allah, I'm saying
blessing on purpose, the blessing of a lot, you would not be able to encompass them. There's some
benefits here and then we will conclude.
		
00:16:54 --> 00:17:34
			He says, if you were to try to, to do and to do consumer audit, which means number, so if you were
to try to enumerate the blessing of Allah and I know it's translated can be as blessings of Allah.
We want to stop here for a minute, because when he says Nima is singular, Neon is plural. But then
he says near metal law, some scholars say when you have it in the possessive form will often move
off LA, that means a plurality, near metal law in this particular context, when in terms of a loss
of Panama data, another understanding of this is with in that blessing, our blessings.
		
00:17:36 --> 00:18:11
			You look at your child, you say what, Mashallah, my child is a blessing. Okay, but let's just ponder
over your child, the fact that they're healthy, the fact that they have characteristics of you, and
another characteristic of your older brother, and of your grandma, whenever you look at your child,
sometimes you look at your brother, so you got that for Mom, you got that from dad, you look at
yourself. And you look at the blessing that Allah has given you. And you say which in every an
anatomical structure of your body, your eye, your nose, your every single thing, that one anatomical
structure, your eye, for instance, within it are blessings, the retina, the cones and rods within
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:56
			the retina, that distinguished color, the nerves that is the optic nerve that connects to the eye.
So all of this is a blessing of a law supplemented with data. That's why he says after that, you
would not be able to encompass it. And notice he says, if he tried to enumerate to do he doesn't
say, let me let you will not be able to enumerate it. That's what I do her is allowed to sue her,
you will not be able to encompass it. And the word is saw is used in Arabic for surveys, because
you're going to be counting or checking a lot of people. So if you were to try to count a grains of
rice in a bag, you would start to enumerate 123 51 to 100%, you're going to stop and say, I can't do
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:57
			this. It's too many.
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:35
			So when we look at a loss of power without his blessings, that is what he is meaning in this verse
when he says, if you were to try to enumerate the blessings of Allah, you would not be able to count
them. And then he concludes, letting you know your reality and remind you in the incentive level
when kafele and mankind verily is someone that is oppressive, or someone that is unjust and
ungrateful, unjust to him or herself, because they may take the right of a law and put it in an in
in its improper place, by committing a sin and being negligent of the network that is in front of
them the blessings that is in front of them, and they are profound, because they are ungrateful.
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:56
			They associate that blessing with something of a creative thing, another human being, or they may
attribute it to themselves. So we ask Allah subhanaw taala to make us a tentative of his blessings,
and allow that attention to those blessings to serve as a motivation to increases in Our
thankfulness. Just a little here was our panel last summer the last starts with blessings that you
don't even consider
		
00:19:58 --> 00:19:59
			blessings, usually things that are wrong.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:09
			And then Allah gives you blessings that you know about and says try to count the blessings within
that one blessing and you'll still feel like well, and I really appreciate how you elaborate on
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:13
			you know the wording of the lumen Kapha
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:27
			that we're transgressing, and there is an in gratitude and how we attribute and misplace those
blessings. And one of the greatest blessings is Vicki and ally mentions that Vicki increases our
capacity of gratitude weather in Chicago. That was the dominant calm so check
		
00:20:29 --> 00:21:24
			that out and show off you can take us away and show that Columbia shakaama thank you so much Chicago
for that inspiring and unique data sparkle, Africa, Milan, Chris, your insight and your family is
one crush you in blessing and blessings and insights. The brothers and sisters Good evening, I Sarah
Malik, Rhonda light aloe vera cattle mentor him I just thought I would share some reflections on one
verse in sort of total rod chapter 13 that we're discussing here, verse 28. And verse 28, is a verse
that we see quite commonly around, you know, people's homes and pictures of calligraphy, quoted,
some marketing material, etc. But it's very, very, very critical, very important to not commodify
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:25
			this verse,
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:43
			to not take it for granted, but to internalize it profoundly, and to be people who anchor ourselves
in this. So and Edina M and o Turner says stay the biller, those who have faith, and that people who
are interested in in
		
00:21:44 --> 00:22:28
			just lip service. And people who are interested in saying one thing and doing another those people
who really have faith and people, not only who have faith, but are striving to keep their faith,
striving to maintain their faith, striving to hold on to what it is despite the turbulence and the
and the storms that are around them. That's why one of the the deeper meanings of have sort of
arrived is it's allowing us to invoke the storms in our environment, the stormy days that we have
the turbulences in our lives that still are full of our you know, the days and the nights that have
ups and downs that are pregnant with hope and pharma with fear and hope, throughout all of those
		
00:22:28 --> 00:23:12
			things. When we try to hold fast to our faith and trying to make meaning of the events that are that
that are around us that we face, and levena Avenue, we still affirm our belief, but then what
happens is because the body is shaken by the stress, because the body is shaken by the pandemic,
because the body is shaken by the economic situation, the body is shaken by crisis, the body is
shaken by, by loss, the the body experiences turmoil. Because the body is fragile, the pilot becomes
fragile to the heart becomes fragile, because the heart is an extension of the body. The body is the
extension of the heart. The heart is just internal. So when the body feels the shock, the heart
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:25
			takes it to. But alone Thomas says something quite interesting here and levena airmen who listen
people of faith, not Yeah, you held in a hand where he's talking about and levena Amadou, those who
have faith.
		
00:23:27 --> 00:24:14
			Those who have faith, what talks about kulu, whom basically led not only those that have faith, but
those who, whose hearts find peace, in the remembrance of God and the remembrance of Allah tala. And
the remembrance of Allah tala, those people that choose that because it's tough to make meaning of
external turbulence of external situations sometimes, because we don't have the hiccup. We don't
have the long vision, all we have is what happens to us. It's very hard to make meaning and to find
peace, when you're in a state of conflict. And so a lot of us don't search for peace outside. Don't
search for peace in the environment. Don't try to anchor yourself in things that are full of change.
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:27
			loudhailer doesn't change. Right? Don't anchor yourself in meanings that are external, but use the
external to draw you into them into a deeper understanding. So
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:59
			what's up to my inner kulu kulu boom, victory lap and they choose chooses my word I'm inserting
here, but the meaning is, and they their hearts find peace in the remembrance of Allah, not peace in
the in the rise of the employment rate, not finding peace, you know, in different political
commentators on different social things or on Twitter on this so that they don't find peace in the
sound bites, they don't find peace and all kinds of things in the sales. No
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:24
			They find peace in the remembrance of Allah and then allow Thomas because there's there's a dot dot
that there so those who believe and who find whose hearts find peace in the remembrance of Allah
what comes after that law doesn't have to mention it because Allah basically law he talks about in
lucado It's enough that truly, certainly, undoubtedly, I'm sure assuredly
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:30
			in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find peace that's enough
		
00:25:31 --> 00:26:02
			this is really deep we tend to be oftentimes when we understand the term Victor we remember or we
think about the term Victor would readily comes to mind as a first meaning dear brothers and sisters
as depicted with the with the tongue with the sad, rudimentary the normal routine they could have
that that we do after the salaat and things of this nature that's part of the practice of the
prophets lie Selim when we have to keep and hold firm to that, but that is not the extent that's not
the end. point that is not the only
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:47
			goal the vicar must enter from the tongue and take root in the heart. What good is it to mention a
low tolerance name by tongue after the prayer and then read up when we get up and walk away we
forget Allah subhana wa tada that we're supposed to continually invoke Hello tala recognize the low
tala Be conscious and mindful of Allah tala as we go through the world as we enter turbulence in the
world as we go ever ups and our downs. Whether we're in salon or in between salon, we are supposed
to do everything and all of our actions and our actions what are called our Hata cat, and our second
net, everything we do, and everything we don't do whether it's going into the bathroom before we eat
		
00:26:47 --> 00:27:14
			before we wash our hands when we go into the shopping mall when we when we get into the car when we
drive everything is with the remembrance of Allah tala, the vicar with the tongue is just a more
Kadima. It's an introduction, it's a, it's a sharp, it's a practice to get us into the routine and
habit of our hearts. And our minds being automatically programmed to be conscious, aware and aware
of a loud toddler.
		
00:27:15 --> 00:28:01
			And the biggest one of the biggest spiritual crimes of the believer, male or female, is that they
forget the one who never forgets them. We forget a loss of kind of $1. So one of the that's one of
the biggest crimes. So one of the ways one of the instruments, one of the ways that out of a low
tell us Rama out of his generosity out of his father, out of his lots of one of the ways that alone,
Tyler helps us and gives us crutches, to remember him is to remind us of our bounties that he's
given us. That's the whole point of thinking about a chef Abdullah, beautifully articulated the name
that Nima that's the whole point, because we tend to be concrete creatures. That's why idolatry was
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:47
			a big problem, right? We tend to be materialistic people, we tend to prefer concrete things that we
can see. So a lot of times, in his infinite wisdom allows us to think about the blessings we have in
front of us, draw to our minds that in reality, there are innumerable that Shaykh Abdullah pointed
out even in one blessing, it contains a microcosm of of, you know, blessings that blows your mind.
And if that's the case, with the material blessing, what is it with the rub of the blessing? What is
the case with the Lord of the blessing. And so, if we are in a, if our environment and our cosmos is
full of material blessings, like a car and a house, and children and family, and immaterial
		
00:28:47 --> 00:29:39
			blessings, like like oxygen and proper temperatures and the proper balance of food and etc, and then
spiritual blessings, like he man and he diet and Koran, and we can't count these, even if we were to
look at just one, and we show gratitude, and that those blessings give us a sense of peace, those
blessings give us a sense of stability, and how is it with a lot of blessings. So this brothers and
sisters is the verse that tells us where and how to anchor ourselves when we find ourselves in
arrived in a sense of anxiety, and in a sense that we find ourselves in stormy moments in a climate
that where we find ourselves uprooted, picked up and tossed from east to west, and we are confused
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:59
			and we we are disrupted from the things that anchor us what how do we anchor wrestle spirit
ourselves spiritually, when we can't physically we can't seem at least to physically anchor
ourselves. it's indicative of a loud toddler, that even constantly, even when you start by
remembering a lot of weeks
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:43
			Start not talking to you I'm talking with you. We start remembering allow Tyler first. First by
remembering the name of allowing the blessings of Allah tada that's, that's why, you know to invoke
sort of Baja we're not there yet but we're not till can be Amina kiya Moosa what's in your right
hand Moosa Allah knows what it is it's a near mobile Otama he I saw yet my staff right into what God
I lead on that thing I regret it's that's the NIT I lean on it well who should be huh I use it for
this and that and, and carry my bag and etc for LP Hi I'm Melissa you want to walk my walk, you want
to be part of the NBA take that near me that you rely on that you lean on that you're comfortable
		
00:30:43 --> 00:31:34
			with. That's not showing up. Throw it away. You know, let your let only my remembrance, comfort you
lean on that for a while. Because there's if you if you fall too in love with your neshama it will
become the snake that you've never envisioned. Become the crutch that breaks your leg. So this is
the true hustle of this. This verse one of the meetings I wanted to remind myself that all of you
brothers, let's not become slaves of tongue Vicar. Let us use the tongue Vicar to remind ourselves
that we are really supposed to be slaves of Allah tala and never forget Allah tala internally, that
tongue Vicar is not enough. That's just that's just the key in the ignition. We got to ignite
		
00:31:34 --> 00:32:00
			something deeper in ourselves so that we never forget Allah, such some of for some of us like
myself, it's hard to continue the vicar after the Salah, but it should be part of the routine.
That's the point. But take good tidings as I conclude take glad kiding tidings in the moments when
you remember a lot. And in those moments you remember a lot ask a lot to allow you to never forget a
lot. And that will be the next lesson. And then the next lesson we'll have
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:12
			a live Alex next live actually collects all the Kisha May Allah preserve you and protect you
beautiful, beautiful reflections, my last contact reward you
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:52
			and somehow I just tied in so beautifully because he talks about the storm. You know Yusuf Ali's
alarm in the storm. And chef Abdullah talked about gratitude and you know, increasing your
perspective by paying attention to the things that are around you. And that will help put in
perspective your trials. And I think just to bring it back and Charlotte hopefully to connect these
two things. If the heart is settled, if everything you know, even if everything else is crazy, as
crazy as the storm of use, if it is, if the heart is settled, then the heart can anchor a person and
the only way to anchor the heart is whether they could have lost the remembrance of Allah. Kenny
		
00:32:52 --> 00:33:25
			maximum play Heba to him, right, as a lot of talks about and sort of Rahim, a good word La ilaha
illAllah. And remembering him Yaki, more or less said that they give to the heart is like oxygen,
right? It is it is what water is to the fish, it's oxygen to the heart. So So kind of like you can't
anchor your external unless you anchor your internal and you can't anchor the internal without the
remembrance of Allah. And Zack l'affaire for giving us a lot to think about as to how to go deeper
and lost pounds I reward you and reward you as well Sheikh Abdullah, so to remind everyone in
