time. Now with that being said, what I'm going to be doing in Charlottetown every night is I'm
actually going to be instead of doing a juice overview, the way that we did last year talking about
		

			the structure of the juice, we're going to be looking at the sila and focus bit in it time. And so
we start off with sort of the bacara, which is of course, divided into multiple jobs. But we're
going to start off with the first just about COVID-19 tala and of course, certain bacara is a
madonie surah. It was revealed in Medina and it has the style of a Madani surah being a long surah
with long verses, but I want to talk about some of the things that we see in the first Jews of
Bukhara and sha Allah to Allah. Most of the scholars say that this sutra, at least the beginning of
it, the first Jews of it was revealed in the first year after his law. So put yourself in the
		

			mindset of the Muslims as they have just migrated from Mecca to Medina. There they are settling
their new home, they're finally establishing a community, not under persecution. Though of course
there are the unique dynamics of settling into Medina and still dealing with a hostile enemy in
Mecca, as well as some hostile enemies within an Medina. But at the same time, it's the first year
in Medina, we ask Allah subhana wa Jalla to allow us to visit Medina soon in the 90 time. And the
reason for revelation according to multiple scholars is that the city or the law itself is going to
be revealed over a few of these saw a few of these ir COVID-19 Tyler and people will ask many
		

			questions as the new community is being established. And so you're going to see in the second Jos,
which we'll talk about inshallah tada tomorrow. A lot of legal questions a lot of Yes, alumina, they
asked you this, they asked you that now because now you're a community that is flourishing, or that
has the potential to establish itself and so now you get to establish your own set of laws. Now you
have come now you have rulings that will be applied within the society of the Muslims. However, just
like with Mecca to Medina, the first foundation is the foundation of taqwa is the foundation of God.
		

			Consciousness. And so you find these categorizations of people and in the very beginning of sorta
bacara Allah subhana wa tada mentions the believers, Allah mentions the disbelievers. And then Allah
mentions the hypocrites. And not just any group of hypocrites. Allah talks about hypocrites who only
entered into Islam to harm it from within. And of course, this is a you know, a key feature of
Medina, you did not have people that pretended to be Muslims in Mecca, so that they could cause
damage to the Muslim community from within. But here you do have that first set of hypocrites being
addressed and Subhana Allah, Allah azza wa jal from the very beginning is talking about their
		

			plotting and their planning, and how they will fail in this dunya and in the hereafter as well on
their own Illa. And first of all, Mama is ruined, they're only fooling themselves, and their plans
will be foiled. And they will taste the consequences of their hypocrisy in this life as well as the
next. So it's a warning to the hypocrites to not lose their faith to not lose out on the opportunity
to be sincere believers and companions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam because to do so is
to risk you know, the, you know, the punishment of the hereafter. And it's also a warning to them,
as the Muslims are setting up in Medina very vulnerably that they will fail in regards to their
		

			worldly plans as well. You also have a lot of stories of Benny Israel that come in certain bacala
and Allah so just speaking Yeah, Benny slot he remember opening slot, you'll remember the favor of
God upon you remember the favorite of Allah upon you. And of course, as the Muslims are settling
into Medina, they are dealing with the Jewish community for the first time, right? And you have
Jewish tribes that are in Medina. And so the Quran reminding the, you know, the Jewish tribes as
well of the favors of Allah upon Benny is slightly but a reminder to us all of Musa alayhis salaam
and the message of Mussolini snam, the mission of Mossad is set up and what true continuation of
		

			musante cinemas legacy looks like so it's a reminder for all of us and of course, the reminder is
laced with the remembrance of the gratitude that we should have to Allah subhanaw taala for all that
He has given to us. And of course you find as we talked about, you know in the overview, the door is
the door either mighty slam the door of Mussolini surrounded with Brahim it is Salaam and dua is
truly your weapon, the weapon of the believer that will save the believer, but here's something that
I want to focus on inshallah tada with the few minutes that I have, as we are in a Madani content
context. And it's, it's really powerful that the story of the building of the character is being
		

			revealed as the Muslims have just been exiled from Mecca. And for the first time, they are, you
know, getting exposed to a society in which the cabinet is not there around the corner from them,
right. They lived in Mecca, they have been persecuted around the calendar and they know that this is
the house that was built by Ibrahim alayhis salaam for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala for the
worship of one God but now they're in Medina, and they're missing Mecca and here a lot is revealing
these verses about the initial construction of the Kava, when Ibrahim it has set up
		

			builds the Kava with his marine it his Salaam, with yellow faragher Brahim and karate them in a bat
where it's married. And they're raising their hands to Allah subhana wa tada and they are praying to
Allah for the city of Mecca. They are praying to Allah for their descendants to be upon
righteousness to be upon monotheism to be upon prayer and to uphold the sanctity of that house. And
so if you think about the context of Hanalei, you're in Medina, you've just been persecuted and
exiled out of Mecca. And now Allah is revealing these verses about the construction of the caribou.
What is the wisdom of that? And what is this what is the sign of that and many of the scholars point
		

			to that this is soothing the heart of the Prophet slicin and soothing the heart of the believers
that you will one day return to fulfill the legacy of Ibrahim already has set up to fulfill the
promise that Allah gave to Ibrahim alayhis salaam, that people will come to this place worshiping
Allah subhana wa tada alone. And they will come you know saying the big kolomela bake until he will
be established in the place where you have just been run out of because of your toe hate. So think
about you know the mindset of the Muslims who missed Mecca so much. Some of them have never known
but Mecca and the revelation coming upon the Prophet slice Allah and upon the hearts of the
		

			believers about Mecca, about Ibrahim it his salaams vision for Mecca and vision for the world and
how the Prophet sly Southern was to be a continuation of that vision and we as his own man, by
extension, be a continuation
		

			that vision so so Pamela if you're in, you know, in Medina, reading these verses as they're being
revealed to the Prophet slicin them for the first time thinking about you're already thinking about
the Kava, you're already thinking about Mecca. And you're thinking about not a place of hostility,
but a place that was empty at one point that was being established upon toe hate and with toe hate.
And this is the first bush law just as a lot is giving the news to the hypocrites from the very
beginning as Medina is starting, that you will fail in your plans, you will fail in your plans to do
derailed the Muslim community to harm Islam from within. This is a message to the Muslims that are
		

			in Mecca and Medina that you will return back to Mecca victorious one day because Allah has decreed
it even though you have just been run out of there. After over a decade of persecution and
humiliation. Allah subhana wa tada will establish the promise to Ibrahim Arnie Salaam to Abraham
have to hate the legacy of tawheed. And so go back to the initial construction of the Kava and you
will one day return to that Kava as it serves the purpose that it was meant to serve in the first
place. So we ask Allah subhana wa tada to to bless us with that ability ourselves to go back to
Mecca, sangla Baker lahoma bake, and to always keep in perspective, to always keep in perspective,
		

			even at our lowest points and even in the most unlikely moments that Allah subhanaw taala has made a
promise to the believers and Allah subhana wa Tada. We'll see that promise through and then
inshallah Tada, when we get to the second Jews. We'll talk about the changing of the Qibla them that
comes in that same context.
		

			Exactly. Okay, as if I'm a cinema, Nick, I know you're trying to be respectful by not reaching into
the second Jews. But just for those that are wondering, the scholars inferred this because it is
very clear once you get to the second just right, cut Narada follow the logic fsms he felt an
Orwellian negative Latin tadoba we see your face turning on hammer in direction of Mecca. And we're
going to grant you a direction of prayer that you will be pleased with and so there is actually
spelled out that this is Allah subhana wa tada going to do this and also you read between the lines,
look at the great status of our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in the sight of his Lord, that
		

			his Lord would never be indifferent, not just about his art, but the inclinations, the pure
inclinations, that a lot originally guided him to the inclinations of his heart.
		

			Mashallah to vertical Ah, that was a beautiful insight, Mashallah, and how, you know, you mentioned
the whole concept and interactions of Vinnie strat, Ian, you know, that people have moved on Hmm.
And that's kind of what I want to use that as a segue to introduce the portion of what I want to
talk about, is roughly in the sort of thing about color, obviously, in the 74th verse, because now
that we are entering Rome, Milan and hamdu, lillahi Rabbil alameen. We should know that this is not
seasonal, particularly the aspect of our hearts and where our heart our hearts stand, and the
consistent evaluation that is upon the human being, in particular, the Muslim to evaluate their
		

			hearts to look at their hearts to inspect their hearts to always ask questions to themselves about
themselves, ultimately asking Allah subhanho wa Tada. So when we see here in the story of Musa with
the people, Minister, I deal with Allah subhanaw taala mentions that when Moses told his people, his
Boubacar, he told him to slaughter the cow. And as we see from the description of the inhabitants at
that time in his civilization, the people that were around him, they didn't respond adequately. They
didn't respond in a fashion that was pleasing to Allah kind of without or rather, they even dare to
ridicule and to question him to the degree where a lawsuit kind of what's your honor, there we say
		

			there was a level of frustration with the response and the way that they acted. And a lawsuit kind
of what Tyler finally mentioned, he mentioned to us how they finally slaughter the cow and sacrifice
the cow. He said, Why can't we get I know they were not about to do it. Then a lawsuit kind of what
the anatel talks about their situation in their house when he says, What if I told him Nelson
fidella mafia, when you kill someone from amongst them, there was someone that killed one of their
people, for delta to the left to him via what the person to fear they when when they were asked who
was the individual who killed this person, they would blame each other. They would blame each other
		

			to the degree that they would argue with each other. And Allah says he would know as well of what
you were talking to me on what you were hiding, what you were not revealing and Allah subhanaw taala
is well aware of that. There are lots of kind of what the Allah mentions after that, how he shows
him is is how he shows him his science, because he told them for whom not to remove will be bound
behind take from this dead cow take from this Bukhara and place it on the dead end.
		

			And he will show you his science as a scholar say that when he placed it on this individual he would
he would come to life. And then he would tell them who the killer was. Connecticut up level motel
where you eat them, it allows you kind of without a will bring this dead individual to life and he
will show you his science. Let's stop here. The signs of Allah subhanho wa Taala are very important
for us to voluntarily to the best of our ability, ponder or because any sign that we see we should
use it as a means to soften our hearts. But with the people that were around Moses, that was not the
case. As we see consistently throughout the Quran, they they tried to kill the prophets, they killed
		

			the Prophet, some of the prophets, right? They would ask the question they said, show us Allah
apparent we will not believe you. We will not believe you until we see a law until we see him until
we see him just rotten until we totally see him. So this type of ridicule and sometimes we can say
dare sarcasm that took place. Allah Subhana Allah mentions their situation right after that. He said
some episodes pourable convinced that he died again. But here Can he god, oh, I should do a swab. He
said then even after this sign was shown, your hearts were hard. Can he john? Oh, I should do as
well. And here's some of the scholars he says it was your hearts were hard as rocks or even harder
		

			than that some scholars say and even harder than that. How. Because you know amongst these group of
people, as we know human beings, the strength and level of our hearts and softness of our hearts
towards Allah and His message. It ranges so it could be that some people from Binney Israel it were
very very, very stubborn and ignorant and defiant and some were not at that level. Or it could be
one person that all of them their hearts range just as just as we are in this month of Ramadan
inshallah, we can make our hearts softer to this to this message. So last month, I was saying, but
he can he jannetty Oh, I should do cassava. We're in the middle majority that may it's a gentleman
		

			who and how Allah subhana wa tada says, and there are four rocks from which the strings spring out.
It's a fun gentleman who
		

			were in the minha lemma Chicago for Yahoo, German has been well met and summer from which water
comes and they split open. And there are some from some of the hearts that are more there are
softer, as you realize it kind of like you see that water has to push through this heart structure
in order to break it. But the level of compromise of that rock of that heart structure will depend
on how soft it is. So when we look at the eyes of Allah subhana wa Donna, what does it do to our
hearts. And then the last part Allah says after that
		

			we're in the middle, there may a short look over here for German who were in the Manhattan area with
him in questions in my lobby often and I met talking to him last month, Allah says after that, and
others will fall down in the art of Allah and Allah is not and he is not unaware of what you do. So
here we see a conclusion how Allah subhanaw taala is describing these hearts and they are different
situations in different encounters and different responses. But this should be an ultimate message
as Sharma was saying earlier, the generality of the message is for us to look at these stories and
then immediately look in the mirror. Look in the mirror mount Ramadan has has started, we have had
		

			the opportunity for shop man to fast the majority of the month to condition ourselves were human
beings we may have been negligent. But now with Ramadan, this Quran is the best Vicar for you. So
when using this avenue of tuning in, pressing using your senses, what you see what you hear what you
touch, to use it for that which is a higher and what that that which is good for your soul and good
for your heart. That is how the heart will remain soft. And that is how it will stay away from those
things that are detrimental to it. from them being arrogance from them being killed as a promise a
lot of wisdom said the individual not intergender if there is a mustard seed of Kibera of arrogance
		

			in their hearts. So let's allow the beginning of the series if you're tuning in, may Allah bless
you, but maintain that relationship with the Quran because that is the strongest means to keep the
heart soft and to obey the message of the one that created it.
		

			vaca Maharaja from the library click Sheikh Mohammed follow
		

			fidelity Long QT so Bismillah again Soto Salah, also de la on audio Sofia drain
		

			I guess as I'm listening to chef Homer offers the context of when these ad came down and now Shahab
Bala reminding us to be extra focused and extra introspective and I asked Allah to help us fixate on
the Quran in this month and fix what has gone wrong with our lives through the Quran. And help us
find ourselves in this book and the best version of ourselves alone. I mean,
		

			I guess my reflection to tie these two together, you know,
		

			first of all, social worker really is especially the first just very
		

			heavy on the evaluative criteria, if you will, how to evaluate the softness of your heart. Because
you know certain Baccarat especially so that Hadid and these are all early souls in Medina,
		

			they have a very clear and forward caution against your faith becoming compromised without you
realizing it. And that is, you know, a concern we should all have.
		

			And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said faith wears out and one of you the same way of
faith, same way a garment wears out on your bodies. So constantly ask Allah to renew the faith in
your hearts We ask Allah is a legit, you know, in this first lesson, if I'm about to renew the faith
in our hearts constantly asked for it. But so the worker offers among others how to check for it.
You know, the first hint sort of Botha gives you is the timing when to check for it. So the bacara
came down Medina, Medina is yes, they were forced into exile from Mecca, but they also were housed,
they were taken in by Medina. And so there is a relative safety there is a relative comfort
		

			eventually once they get into Medina, especially after the first year.
		

			And that is a moment when you want to be cautious, because comfort the same way that a fear can
drive you defeat, comfort and luxury safety can. It has its ills or it can get you to put your guard
down. And so of the ills of prosperity.
		

			The Quran threatens or the Quran warns, to not fall to not succumb to the ills of prosperity. And
that's very relevant for us because you may put your guard down because of the modern arrived, all
right, I made it you know, the nervousness is over. And that would be unfortunate, you will not make
the best of them a lot. And in general, I mean, you know, for a lot of us being a first world
Muslim, if I can call us that, that gives us a greater propensity greater likelihood for like a
false sense of security. And then also sort of the buffet I think of context socialization, right.
They are a shift Omar mentioned interacting now with a group an extension of Ben was right. He, you
		

			know, the Jewish community in Medina, people that over time, the hearts hardened, and they have
stepped in their faith, their faith got compromised, and they didn't realize and they fell into
selective submission. They pick and choose what they're going to submit to. And that is very akin to
us as well. If you think of the concept of secularism today, right, the secular paradigm where you
section off the leftovers of your life for God. Those are two factors the comfort of our life and
the socialization of the dominant culture. It's in the ether makes us realize how useful the first
Joseph sort of Bukhara is, you know, as chef Omar mentioned, the categories of the faithful are 123
		

			versus the category of the unfaithful the disbelievers to verses. Why, because all that was covered
for 13 years in Mecca, it's crystal clear, and nobody was half stepping. Nobody was showing two
faces, there was no hypocrisy. Right? But then there's an extensive discussion on on hypocrisy looks
like the different types of hypocrisy, and then the mention of like, Adam and shavonne, because
that's exactly what shavon did. Now. hypocrisy, then disbelief
		

			undermined his faith. All his hard work meant nothing because there was no devotion at heart, he was
being selective, he's doing it because he wanted to do it. That's why he didn't do what Allah wanted
him to do. So submitting to Allah on your terms, not his terms, is not the evaluative criteria for
someone who is truly a fake. You know, crying when we hear her and for example, is not the only
indicative factor, but soft heart, how good are we at submitting consistently. And then the first
job we'll go on to speak about sort of, you know, the Israelites themselves, who once again
overlooked God's favours and we're half stepping the story of the cow. And then you go back to
		

			Ibrahim alayhis salaam, and this is so profound, because the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is
recalling the world to the legacy of of Ibrahim Ali Salaam, and then the people in Medina you know
the Jews, the Jewish community in Medina are making a claim to Ibrahim out of his salon, but they're
half stepping in their faith. So it's as if Allah Zilla gel is telling them now you all decide by
your submission to my last submission to my injunctions. Are you the true claimants the rightful
claimants Ibrahim Ali silat because Ibrahim Ali Salaam, he he didn't just hesitate when it came to
slaughtering a cow. He was ready to slaughter his son if it came from Allah, because it wasn't about
		

			the detail. It was about the commander who's commanded who has the right to be obeyed. Ibrahim Ali
Salaam was thrown into a fire didn't mind Ibrahim Ali Salaam who in some in the high deconsolidated
book it didn't say all I have done so much. I'm 80 years old now enough he circumcised himself with
a rough blade.
		

			At 80 years old the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said and that's why the first Jews basically
says Salah Ibrahim Abu be Kalimantan Ibrahim Ali Salaam was tested by his Lord with certain
injunctions, and he passed them all with flying colors. So that's the idea and of the first Jews,
which of you is a true claimant Ibrahim Ali.
		

			I'm Bill to the caliber. And he said, Oh Allah accept from us. I know this is not worthy of you, I
should be submitting even more and even more humble, this is not a burden, this is an opportunity to
serve you. So I'm going to do it without reservations without reluctance without restrictions.
That's the true evaluative criteria of a healthy heart. Allah said he passed it with all flying
colors. And so that is the criteria to set you up for a visit to that ship almost that has all the
legal rulings. Now, here's your test. Here's your criteria. Here's your laws, your legal rulings to
see if you are a true,
		

			you know, performer better than venosa EAD when it came to the legacy of Ibrahim Ali cinema
submission. And then the end of the surah praises those who say we hear and we will be in the second
to last verse. So that's how I tried to understand you know, the importance of introspection through
sort of Baccarat and I'll hand it back without taking any more time because like a little flavor
check on online Metacritic, I wish he wouldn't hand it back when I wish he would have kept going
it's my fault for telling you there's a time limit. There's
		

			a lot one thing that I was thinking about that is really interesting.
		

			You know, Ramadan is all about us taking into consideration our favors, right the favors of Allah
upon us. When a lot talks to the people of Mecca, Allah Allah Allah home and you are in a manner
human health, let them worship the Lord of this house, in Mecca, karma and Mecca, the one who
safeguarded them, and the one who fed them, gave them security and gave them the blessings of
sustenance. And then one of ours talks to Benny slide in, right with guru and aromatic allottee. And
I'm to Anakin. Remember my blessing upon you remember my favorite upon you? And of course we've been
in so I eat and the for love took them on land. I mean, it's something specific to them that they
		

			were chosen
		

			as a nation. And then of course, Eliza mentions the favors upon musante so what is the last parasite
specifically give us what ends up radical in London was Salah, kulu, wash labo, right? You know,
that Allah revealed, sent upon them all the food and drink that they needed to sustain themselves.
So Allah reminded them of sustenance, and what else what is Nigeria document it for their own. So
kind of like a law reminded them of security and sustenance. And I was just thinking, as you were
talking a lot reminded me of the people of Mecca of security and sustenance. And what did the
Prophet slicin them say to us, whoever wakes up in the morning, and they are safe, they're healthy,
		

			they're safe, and they have enough to eat for the day, as if they own the entire world that says if
they're the kings, you know, the kings of this earth Subhanallah you have everything that you need,
and Ramadan is to impress upon us those blessings and it's amazing to me that we're starting off the
poor on the recitation of the Quran with a reminder from Allah to all of us of those blessings and
then interrogate ourselves with those blessings like which category like no one is freed from from
self interrogation, introspection, and certain Baccarat the believer has to look within the
disbeliever has to look within the hypocrite has to look within the polytheist test to look within
		

			the People of the Book have to look within right the Jews and the Christians have to look within the
Muslims have to look within everyone has to ask themselves Am I submitting the way below him is not
submitted. And every story that just hits you so quickly, has this contrast right like until you get
to Ibrahim it snap you have you can either you know take the way of Adam it his Salaam or you could
take the way with every other beloved shavon. You could either take the way of Mozart in a cinema or
you could take the way for their own or you could take the way of bending slightly, particularly the
ones that disobeyed most it stuff. And then it gets to Brahim. It sounds like here's your ultimate
		

			example.
		

			Woman yarrabah and Mila Ibrahima 11. Sophia Sophia nafsa. who turns away from the wave of why he
might use to them right, except that they bring about on themselves disgrace in this life and the
next, you know, a lot chose him. And that's actually the key here right that Allah choosing Ibrahim
alayhis salaam, transcends this world, right slotzo for dunya was Papa hopeful Akela it his Salatu
was Salam. Allah chose him with a special favor in this dunya and a special favor and the hereafter
as well. Allah chose him because of his submission, his sincerity, and his the way he took those
blessings and channeled them in ways of his beautiful submission. And then victory comes right and
		

			that's where the next just the turning of the fibula starts to come into play, which we'll talk
about in Charlottetown. next session,
		

			is I go to Chicago, you know, as you were, like, the visual of the fork in the road and you got to
make your decision. It it, I guess, pushed me to just revisit the point that I rushed in the end,
you know, the hate is is like I'm listening, that when Allah Subhana Allah, Allah said in the last
three verses, so that Bukhara he said, you know, whether you express what is within yourselves or
you keep it hidden, Allah knows. And so the Sahaba came and they fell on their knees, and the story
is known, like we cannot, you know, control are passing thoughts. And that by itself is a lesson
that they didn't read this stuff in passing, they actually felt like every verse was something they
		

			would be asked about, right. And then the prophet SAW
		

			Lem said what you kind of reminded me of at the fork in the road. He said, Are you going to say like
Ben? Oh, sorry. He said, Sammy, and I was saying that we hear and we obey, say, Sam and our Father,
we hear and we obey it. The narrator says, when they said it, and they just kept repeating it, Allah
revealed the praise of the believers who chose the right side of the road. Yes, he praised them. And
that verse turned out to be just, you know, to see were you going to accept the obligation or not,
then Allah was never intending on holding us to it. And that is from all of Islam. When we say
selective submission, it could be a little bit daunting. But if you actually give in and say, Allah,
		

			I am yours and honored to be yours, you actually have the best of this life and not just the next
it's much easier than you think. Once you actually break that shackle and liberate yourself
		

			now, Mashallah, that's a part of life Subhanallah you know, Sheikh Mohammed, you mentioned about the
whole concept of slaughtering, right? And, you know,
		

			now they're gonna take a clip and that's gonna
		

			sacrifice for the sake of God.
		

			Because I remember when I embraced Islam, I was like, okay, it's an animal for I couldn't, it was
very hard for me to grasp. But then it was like, Subhanallah when when you made the contrast of when
the Buddhists are able or to slaughter to sacrifice a cow, and Abraham was or to sacrifice his son.
And that's so beautiful, how Allah gives you the epitome of the example within the lives of the
prophets to show you that look, it may not get this deep for you it will not but understand what is
requested and understand what should go through your mind and the whole attitude and how you you
harbor those fleeting thoughts and allow those good fleeting thoughts to translate into something
		

			that is beneficial for yourself and Abraham even told his son in the office met me on the phone good
men that are very icmi sleep that you I was ordered to sacrifice you What do you think all they are
ever to my if I met tomorrow, surgery insha Allah Mina sobbing and his son said, Dad do as you know
father do as you usually were ordered, you will find the inshallah of the patient but when we see
the contrast attempt to figure out who's,
		

			you know, are you taking us for a joke? And that's where the summit in our tonic comes in will lie
it comes in because it's like, okay, am I using my logic to determine what is right and what is
wrong from what I know that Allah has descended, and it has given us and that's selective worship,
some finalize, very, very important for us, you know, at all times, to always remember that and I
like that contrast that you gave and you know, just when we hear the word Baba, we should think of
one word or one story that comes to our mind and Shall I every name of a chapter, think of one
incident in your life? And think of Are you from the ones that say, if I met tomorrow at 10 degrees?
		

			Shall I mean a Siberian do as your Western thinking of Israel's response? Or the response of those
that say, Is this a joke? and really see where we fall? Because our hearts hardened or soft? And
based on our answer, in our response, a parallel shift is like a little bit online on a click of
nuts and amazing paralon Subhan Allah, we could go on and on but like, isn't it submission to to to
embark on the journey of his law, like the people in Mecca? Were they not told now like if you want
to keep on your faith, you have to do it all the prophets lie somewhere as Abyssinia where they
migrated to a Christian land and you know, obviously we know what happened to Joshua all the time. I
		

			know but like you could go to Abyssinia but but to go to Medina it was the whole communities going
to Medina now and you know taking on like at that point even if you're Muslim, you have to decide in
Mecca like wait a minute Am I really going to leave behind all that I know and go and be this this
refugee in Medina like I could just renounce my faith or I could just keep it hush hush and stay
here but the order of Hitler was was a huge order huge command and there's a special reward for them
so that was also accepting the sacrifice and submitting themselves as the children of this married
it is that I'm right and the followers of the child of his mighty nice Prophet Muhammad's life so
		

			then like we will Samaritan Oh Tara right the prophets licenses go we go we don't know what's there
and he did it for us though to which would become Medina to Nagisa ly Salaam, but let's just go this
minute like we're gonna go and we're gonna we're gonna put our trust in Allah subhana wa Tada. So
that was actually submitted that will apply now. And I think it's good to end on this like, I don't
remember the exact needs of Allah but the reward of the person that embarked on the two hingeless
		

			the reward of the person who,
		

			who believed in reciting Islam, then believed in Mohammed's lifetime. So the reward the specific
reward to a person Mecca who made the two heads was the specific reward to a person of the book who
believed in the profits and then believed in the profit slice on write the specific reward of the
people have read it and then write like it's a chance for multiplied and compounded rewards for us
and we should see that as well. That a lot whatever
		

			Test he gives us to give us an opportunity
		

			to come alongside on any last last 32nd minute reflection shala for the I missed I missed this
quarter and 30 for 30 honestly I missed that cast to be together so great to reflect on the plan you
will get paid in person so all the Muslims everywhere. So what
		

			does that kind of play with that we'll conclude in sha Allah Tada. And I want to remind everyone
again, you can download the plan 3430 companion guide where we do the just overviews and Charlotte's
Island you'll see the link in the comments. We invite you to give in shot lots of data to support

			reading that series both written and video and it's now being worked on as a book but in the 90
Tyler so that's a sneak peek to the audience as well inshallah outside that it's being finalized as
a book as well. So May Allah reward you for that great effort and struggle as well.
