My

00:00:02 --> 00:00:07

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Islam, can I ask that the Jamar

00:00:07 --> 00:00:11

please come forward in closer inshallah. It was the practice of

00:00:11 --> 00:00:14

the companions of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam that they would

00:00:14 --> 00:00:18

fill the machine, the safilo will fall away and they would start

00:00:18 --> 00:00:24

with a first off. So if I can ask all the brothers in public if they

00:00:24 --> 00:00:27

can come closer please. Thank you, young boy. Thank you young man.

00:00:28 --> 00:00:30

Hamdulillah this is a beautiful example of

00:00:32 --> 00:00:34

following the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, Allah

00:00:34 --> 00:00:35

bless you, my boy

00:00:40 --> 00:00:45

Alhamdulillah wa CAFA wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah hereby all

00:00:45 --> 00:00:50

praises only due to Allah subhana wa to Allah and choices

00:00:50 --> 00:00:53

salutations upon our beloved prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi

00:00:53 --> 00:00:57

wa sallam, he is companion companions, his family and all

00:00:57 --> 00:01:02

those who follow them, judgment for us to be reflective Muslims.

00:01:03 --> 00:01:10

Reflective means that one thinks carefully about things.

00:01:12 --> 00:01:16

And that when when you think about this carefully, you think about

00:01:16 --> 00:01:18

how things can be done differently.

00:01:20 --> 00:01:25

So reflection includes contemplating something by then

00:01:25 --> 00:01:27

contemplating how this can be different.

00:01:28 --> 00:01:33

contemplating what are the benefits of this action or idea?

00:01:33 --> 00:01:36

And what are the disadvantages

00:01:38 --> 00:01:40

and the harms of this idea or this action?

00:01:41 --> 00:01:47

In the Quran, Allah subhana, Allah uses the word de facto, which

00:01:47 --> 00:01:48

means to reflect and to contemplate.

00:01:50 --> 00:01:55

Explicitly 17 times Allah subhanaw taala says, intervene early

00:01:55 --> 00:01:58

killer, Tilly upon me at alpha karoun

00:01:59 --> 00:02:02

Allah Subhana Allah speaks about the heavens and the earth. And

00:02:02 --> 00:02:06

then Allah subhanaw taala says really, these are Signs for those

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08

who ponder, contemplate and reflect.

00:02:10 --> 00:02:13

But there are also other words in the Quran that also encourage us

00:02:13 --> 00:02:19

to reflect particularly, that that bore which is to which also means

00:02:19 --> 00:02:21

to contemplate but it means

00:02:22 --> 00:02:25

it is used specifically to contemplate the Quranic verses.

00:02:26 --> 00:02:30

Allah says he Tavern and Zina Hui Lycamobile. awkwardly at the

00:02:30 --> 00:02:31

battle at

00:02:32 --> 00:02:33

Allah says in surah aside

00:02:35 --> 00:02:40

that this is a book referring to the Quran that we have revealed a

00:02:40 --> 00:02:44

blessed book, in order for you to reflect upon the verses

00:02:45 --> 00:02:49

way that we have designed that we automate the way that we do

00:02:49 --> 00:02:55

things. For example, if I ask this young man, how did you come to the

00:02:55 --> 00:03:00

machine? You'll say, Wait, let me think. Why? Because he came

00:03:00 --> 00:03:04

automatically. You automated the driving if I asked him, Do you

00:03:04 --> 00:03:08

remember, young men when you put the gears into first and second?

00:03:08 --> 00:03:11

And say, No, I didn't, I don't really call that why because he

00:03:11 --> 00:03:12

automated his behavior.

00:03:14 --> 00:03:16

This is part of human nature.

00:03:17 --> 00:03:21

And research has shown there are people who have done research on

00:03:21 --> 00:03:25

human behavior and found that human beings have two ways of

00:03:26 --> 00:03:33

relating or engaging in the world. One is the act to automate what

00:03:33 --> 00:03:37

they call simple task or repetitive task. So if you ask

00:03:37 --> 00:03:40

somebody else's young boy, did you brush your teeth this morning, he

00:03:40 --> 00:03:44

won't remember because he did it automatic, then we tend to not be

00:03:44 --> 00:03:48

automatic, we tend to think carefully. And that that thinking

00:03:48 --> 00:03:51

carefully is part of what we were talking about when we say

00:03:51 --> 00:03:53

reflection, de facto.

00:03:54 --> 00:03:59

The Quran is a book, which is a miracle from Allah subhanaw taala.

00:03:59 --> 00:04:02

But it's the only miracle that requires human

00:04:03 --> 00:04:04

activation.

00:04:05 --> 00:04:08

In other words, when Nabi Musa split the see

00:04:10 --> 00:04:14

that the bene Salah II that was with him, they didn't have to do

00:04:14 --> 00:04:15

anything they just had to follow.

00:04:16 --> 00:04:21

But the miracle of the Quran requires us to read it and to

00:04:21 --> 00:04:22

activate it in our lives.

00:04:24 --> 00:04:27

And so this activation comes to the faculty through reflection

00:04:27 --> 00:04:33

that Paul, particularly reflecting upon the verses of the Quran, de

00:04:33 --> 00:04:37

facto when we say difficult, we mean that not only must want to

00:04:37 --> 00:04:40

reflect on the verses of the Quran, but I have to reflect on my

00:04:40 --> 00:04:45

own behavior and my own actions and within the context of the

00:04:45 --> 00:04:46

world as it is today.

00:04:47 --> 00:04:52

It is by many academics, they talk about a new Liberal dispensation,

00:04:53 --> 00:04:59

a capitalist dispensation, a world that in a sense

00:05:00 --> 00:05:04

If we look at the EU in, you know, the US one of the biggest

00:05:05 --> 00:05:07

countries that are

00:05:08 --> 00:05:12

purveyors of chaos and corruption in the world, we if we see

00:05:12 --> 00:05:18

ourselves within this context, and even now it is resuscitating or

00:05:18 --> 00:05:20

making open the racism.

00:05:22 --> 00:05:24

That came with the colonial times.

00:05:26 --> 00:05:29

If we think about where we are today, you might even see me with

00:05:29 --> 00:05:33

how we are caught up in the system of consumerism,

00:05:34 --> 00:05:38

if you can, if you reflect and contemplate on the clothing that

00:05:38 --> 00:05:42

you're wearing. So for example, if I did like my own self, but look

00:05:42 --> 00:05:47

at this, what I would call a sweater, it's got a swoosh on it,

00:05:49 --> 00:05:56

which is a Nike brand. We are living within a system of where

00:05:56 --> 00:06:01

our, our wants and desires are being programmed for us, because

00:06:01 --> 00:06:07

we like things to be automated, because it takes less brainpower.

00:06:08 --> 00:06:12

And so the fact that means that one must ask oneself, to what

00:06:12 --> 00:06:19

extent is, is this world system that is very much still a colonial

00:06:19 --> 00:06:23

system, even if people refer to us as postcolonial, pretty much a

00:06:23 --> 00:06:28

colonial we still living within a system where the products and the

00:06:28 --> 00:06:33

services are designed within a worldview largely about profit,

00:06:33 --> 00:06:39

exploitation, and exclusion of the idea of there is a lot that there

00:06:39 --> 00:06:42

is a mechanic creator of this world. If we think about this

00:06:42 --> 00:06:47

madness mean, then we have to we have to think carefully to what

00:06:47 --> 00:06:53

extent Am I a cog in that wheel? That makes that to what extent is

00:06:53 --> 00:06:57

the exploitation that's happening in Bangladesh and in Pakistan in

00:06:57 --> 00:07:02

the clothing factories, to what extent is my desire as a Muslim to

00:07:02 --> 00:07:07

wear a Nike t shirt, or to wear a certain brand? perpetuating the

00:07:07 --> 00:07:11

injustice is happening in Pakistan, in Bangladesh, in

00:07:11 --> 00:07:15

Thailand, with Muslims and non Muslims as well? To what extent is

00:07:15 --> 00:07:20

my choice of footway Naik so whatever other brand they might

00:07:20 --> 00:07:24

be, I'll just try and promote Nike, today is not promote all the

00:07:24 --> 00:07:27

other brands. Not that I stuck a law like Nike, for example. But

00:07:28 --> 00:07:31

just to say that every time even when I say the word Nike I'm I'm

00:07:31 --> 00:07:36

you know, since everybody gets activated, to think about branding

00:07:36 --> 00:07:38

and whether I have,

00:07:39 --> 00:07:43

you know whether I've got the right brand for my clothing. The

00:07:43 --> 00:07:47

point of martyrdom, Slimane is we as Muslims cannot live

00:07:48 --> 00:07:51

and reflectively that's that's the point of this week. But today you

00:07:52 --> 00:07:56

can't live unreflectively, you have to ask ourselves, where am I

00:07:57 --> 00:08:02

in the global financial capitalist consumerist society? Am I playing

00:08:02 --> 00:08:03

the game of the consumer?

00:08:05 --> 00:08:07

Am I Am I doing it too? Well?

00:08:08 --> 00:08:11

Am I bought excellent consumer?

00:08:13 --> 00:08:19

Am I discarding some of the Islamic principles around staying

00:08:19 --> 00:08:23

away from riba interest and so forth? And running along the

00:08:23 --> 00:08:25

capitalist system?

00:08:27 --> 00:08:28

Where am I in all of that?

00:08:29 --> 00:08:31

We have to ask ourselves

00:08:34 --> 00:08:35

not in a way

00:08:36 --> 00:08:40

not in a punitive way to say Oh, you are bad and Muslim or you're a

00:08:40 --> 00:08:43

bad but in or in a way to us how can I do things differently

00:08:45 --> 00:08:49

but in a way of saying you're the bad Muslim and I'm the good Muslim

00:08:49 --> 00:08:51

No, no German not like that.

00:08:53 --> 00:08:57

But in a way we ask ourselves, How can I how can the dispensation be

00:08:57 --> 00:08:58

different?

00:09:00 --> 00:09:01

How can I do differently

00:09:04 --> 00:09:08

and you might say, but what can what can I as one person do

00:09:08 --> 00:09:11

differently? What can I what change can I bring

00:09:14 --> 00:09:17

let me remind you, we are in the month of hajj.

00:09:19 --> 00:09:20

These month

00:09:21 --> 00:09:22

are dedicated.

00:09:25 --> 00:09:29

If you had to look at the history are dedicated to to the actions of

00:09:29 --> 00:09:29

one man

00:09:30 --> 00:09:36

and he struggle to be reflective Muslim in his a pup and in his

00:09:36 --> 00:09:43

time. Our beloved Ibrahim Alayhi Salatu was Salam Hurley Lola, the

00:09:43 --> 00:09:48

Intimate Friend of Allah subhanho wa taala. One man and he and today

00:09:49 --> 00:09:52

1000s of years after his demise, the hedge

00:09:53 --> 00:09:57

hedge is proceeding And Alhamdulillah many of our churches

00:09:57 --> 00:10:00

have been accredited recently. And we also have Allah Subhana Allah

00:10:00 --> 00:10:04

La police they have to make the hijab role. But at the same time

00:10:04 --> 00:10:09

we have to be reflective Muslims and be a bit critical about the

00:10:09 --> 00:10:13

government that is, you know, in charge the although I have to

00:10:13 --> 00:10:16

thank them because I am a graduate from the university they so

00:10:16 --> 00:10:20

Hamdulillah I thank them for that. But I can't be happy with the

00:10:20 --> 00:10:22

atrocities that they are

00:10:23 --> 00:10:27

perpetrating in Yemen, for example. So against your madness,

00:10:27 --> 00:10:31

it's this idea of being reflected when we're gonna go for Hajj we're

00:10:31 --> 00:10:33

going to be in in insha Allah or we're gonna go for Amara.

00:10:35 --> 00:10:37

When we go there, we have to be reflective Muslims.

00:10:39 --> 00:10:43

But to come back to mat Miskito to our daily lives here.

00:10:44 --> 00:10:51

One of the places that that is the fountain and of life in the Muslim

00:10:51 --> 00:10:55

community is this very place Germanos me the masjid

00:10:56 --> 00:11:00

in a hadith narrated from the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa

00:11:00 --> 00:11:05

sallam he SallAllahu Sallam says, I'll miss G do by to Cooley Tapi.

00:11:06 --> 00:11:11

The machine is the house of every God fearing every God conscious.

00:11:12 --> 00:11:17

Every person who is aware and in love with Allah subhanho wa Taala

00:11:18 --> 00:11:22

this place Jamar to me this machine, this any we can say this

00:11:22 --> 00:11:24

particular machine, Masjid of Sunni

00:11:26 --> 00:11:27

is a place

00:11:28 --> 00:11:33

that belongs to all of us. And if we flick carefully, we can we can

00:11:33 --> 00:11:38

make this machine also be more than it is at the moment and be

00:11:38 --> 00:11:42

closer to the prophetic model in the time of the Prophet salon.

00:11:43 --> 00:11:47

And what I mean by that is you might miss mean is that the

00:11:47 --> 00:11:48

machine is a

00:11:49 --> 00:11:51

is a place Excuse me.

00:11:54 --> 00:11:59

The machine is a place where a person finds his tranquility

00:12:00 --> 00:12:01

or her tranquility.

00:12:03 --> 00:12:04

But we have to make the masjid

00:12:06 --> 00:12:07

not only open

00:12:08 --> 00:12:13

for the five Salawat or the Juma but the mosh it must be a

00:12:13 --> 00:12:19

cultural, spiritual, physical, emotional home of all Muslims.

00:12:22 --> 00:12:25

We need to reflect on what role is a machine playing at the moment.

00:12:26 --> 00:12:29

And if we think carefully, we will notice that the machine only

00:12:29 --> 00:12:31

there's only people here tomorrow.

00:12:32 --> 00:12:37

And unfortunately, a lot less for the other Salawat other players

00:12:38 --> 00:12:41

and then what we in Cape Town would call big knights.

00:12:43 --> 00:12:44

But other than that,

00:12:45 --> 00:12:50

unfortunately, our machine isn't that place, a place for this young

00:12:50 --> 00:12:51

boy to come

00:12:52 --> 00:12:57

with this young man to be with that gentleman to be the machine

00:12:57 --> 00:12:59

is not that place.

00:13:00 --> 00:13:05

And should it be that place? I will say yes. Because if we look

00:13:05 --> 00:13:09

at the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam and he is Masjid

00:13:09 --> 00:13:14

must you do Knebworth and we find that the masjid was the cultural,

00:13:15 --> 00:13:19

emotional, physical, and spiritual

00:13:20 --> 00:13:25

and ritual place for all the Muslims. And in fact, the Prophet

00:13:25 --> 00:13:31

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had and at times, even allowed, the

00:13:31 --> 00:13:35

Christians who had visited him to come and do the investigation,

00:13:35 --> 00:13:40

allow them to make the prayers in his machine machine.

00:13:42 --> 00:13:47

And during their eat when they were celebrations, there was a

00:13:47 --> 00:13:51

certain let's call it a group who would do performances, you know

00:13:51 --> 00:13:51

with

00:13:52 --> 00:13:56

to perform spears and they will perform they will do like what we

00:13:56 --> 00:14:00

would call a cultural activity, something that brings pleasure,

00:14:00 --> 00:14:04

it's not Salah it's not something where you've got to just think

00:14:04 --> 00:14:07

about Allah subhana wa Tada. But they were they were permitted to

00:14:07 --> 00:14:08

do practices in the machine.

00:14:10 --> 00:14:14

And we find also that our beloved prophet Sallallahu wasallam

00:14:14 --> 00:14:18

allowed and in actual fact, asked has certainly been therapy who was

00:14:18 --> 00:14:23

the poet of the Prophet sallahu wa salam to say poetry in defense of

00:14:23 --> 00:14:24

the Prophet sallallahu himself.

00:14:26 --> 00:14:30

And this poetry the Prophet SAW Selim said, Say it, say the poetry

00:14:30 --> 00:14:33

in other words, and the law How could this will assist you in

00:14:33 --> 00:14:37

other words, it's a divine thing you're doing and and poetry in

00:14:37 --> 00:14:40

that time would be equivalent to what we would call social media

00:14:40 --> 00:14:45

today. It was It wasn't just it was on media, at least rather

00:14:45 --> 00:14:49

called Media In other words, it's acted both as what we would as a

00:14:49 --> 00:14:53

as you know, when I was young, I would have said a TV but now I

00:14:53 --> 00:14:56

suppose when would have to say exit like a YouTube it was like

00:14:56 --> 00:15:00

YouTube in that time. So it by

00:15:00 --> 00:15:05

but it was more like a TV channel it provided information. And and,

00:15:05 --> 00:15:10

and the elders at that time would actually pay a poet a lot of money

00:15:10 --> 00:15:13

just to say something good about the about the tribe, because then

00:15:13 --> 00:15:16

it would then spread and then the news would go out this, this is a

00:15:17 --> 00:15:22

great tribe. And so it was like, media platform. And so the machine

00:15:22 --> 00:15:26

was a media platform. In the defense of Islam, yes, but still,

00:15:26 --> 00:15:31

people found news about and not only that they was aesthetic. In

00:15:31 --> 00:15:35

other words, he was in the broader region religiosity of Islam, Islam

00:15:35 --> 00:15:40

isn't just a ritualistic faith is actually a it's a it's a values

00:15:40 --> 00:15:45

based faith is a faith based on on achieving the justice of Allah

00:15:45 --> 00:15:49

subhanaw taala on this earth, on on human relationships and

00:15:49 --> 00:15:52

community building, on on being

00:15:53 --> 00:15:58

caring for one another, looking after the the sick, following the

00:15:58 --> 00:16:02

janazah of those who have passed on and that reminds me me that

00:16:03 --> 00:16:08

there is a janazah at three o'clock. One of the brothers that

00:16:08 --> 00:16:13

used to sit outside in the Chi was man Dolly, he has passed away in a

00:16:13 --> 00:16:17

de la he was in LA Raj, Arun. And we asked that whoever is able to

00:16:17 --> 00:16:20

please attend Janaza at three o'clock it will be at the machine.

00:16:22 --> 00:16:25

So if you look into the Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu wasallam.

00:16:25 --> 00:16:31

All the injunctions besides the let's call it the injunctions of

00:16:31 --> 00:16:35

praying in the machine, all the other injunctions are about social

00:16:35 --> 00:16:35

issues.

00:16:36 --> 00:16:38

So Jemison Muslimeen

00:16:39 --> 00:16:43

the purpose of the hookbait is to ask can we become reflective

00:16:43 --> 00:16:44

Muslims?

00:16:45 --> 00:16:50

Allah says enough either Adicolor tilicho me at alpha karoun In

00:16:50 --> 00:16:54

every vertical I tell you call me at alpha karoun means Wally in

00:16:54 --> 00:16:58

this in all of this in the in the whole universe, even in ourselves,

00:16:58 --> 00:17:01

in the deen in the Prophet sallallahu in everything are

00:17:01 --> 00:17:06

science for us to contemplate. Our religion is a religion that is

00:17:06 --> 00:17:10

based on asking us to use our intellects

00:17:12 --> 00:17:17

within the broader framework that is a lord and that he's provided

00:17:17 --> 00:17:21

us with a book and our reflection should be within the context of

00:17:21 --> 00:17:21

that book.

00:17:22 --> 00:17:25

I'm not saying that it's about using intellect willy nilly, and

00:17:25 --> 00:17:28

coming up with all kinds of fun, we're not saying I'm not saying

00:17:28 --> 00:17:32

that, we're saying that this religion requires us. It requires

00:17:32 --> 00:17:38

us to, to make reflection, even the rule. It's upon them to make

00:17:38 --> 00:17:42

each Jihad each they had means to exert yourself to understand how a

00:17:42 --> 00:17:46

ticks can be applied, the ticks of the Quran can be applied in them

00:17:46 --> 00:17:49

in different epochs in different societies in differently. This is

00:17:49 --> 00:17:50

part of

00:17:52 --> 00:17:56

our book requires for it to be activated for us to reflect on.

00:17:57 --> 00:18:01

But if but if I reflect on our practice, generally as Muslims

00:18:01 --> 00:18:02

democracy and that

00:18:04 --> 00:18:09

we don't look at our behaviors, and ask Is this good or bad? We

00:18:09 --> 00:18:11

are earning more money and

00:18:12 --> 00:18:16

stuff like that. I'm just giving a a broad reflection. So it's not

00:18:16 --> 00:18:19

usual optimism. It's a broad reflection of the Muslim

00:18:19 --> 00:18:23

community. They are Al Hamdulillah very pious people they are only

00:18:24 --> 00:18:27

that are alive that are with us. They are right AMA, we're not

00:18:27 --> 00:18:29

talking and they are good people. And I'm sure you are all the good

00:18:29 --> 00:18:32

people and you all the people that reflect but in general, my

00:18:32 --> 00:18:35

observation is that we are not reflecting community.

00:18:36 --> 00:18:39

We don't think carefully about who we are, where we are and what we

00:18:39 --> 00:18:44

need to do. The Hajj is an important time to reflect your one

00:18:44 --> 00:18:48

man changes in his own life and everybody's lives to cut for

00:18:48 --> 00:18:49

centuries to come.

00:18:50 --> 00:18:51

For millennia to come.

00:18:52 --> 00:18:56

We need to do reflection just so that we can change our lives and

00:18:56 --> 00:19:00

the lives of the Muslims in this machine. So I asked you Jamaicans

00:19:00 --> 00:19:03

to take you take a time

00:19:05 --> 00:19:09

of the Salah before Salah sit down when whatever time is comfortable

00:19:09 --> 00:19:13

for you then do de facto what is it mean? You sit down in and say

00:19:13 --> 00:19:19

okay, my name is Abdullah and I'm the slave of Allah subhana wa Tada

00:19:19 --> 00:19:25

and what have I done today? Right? I've made my salah I did this I

00:19:25 --> 00:19:29

went to the shop I bought that. Okay, so I bought that or I want

00:19:29 --> 00:19:33

to buy that. Did I do it correctly? Did I did I have the

00:19:33 --> 00:19:36

right adapter a HELOC with the cashier or the person I bought it

00:19:36 --> 00:19:42

from? Was I using any haram means did i was i indulging Riba? Was I

00:19:42 --> 00:19:45

doing any Zina with my eyes? Was I looking at the women that was

00:19:45 --> 00:19:46

serving me?

00:19:47 --> 00:19:51

You look at yourself and you ask, Am I happy with that without the

00:19:51 --> 00:19:54

edge being judgement? Just say are you happy with that? Are you happy

00:19:54 --> 00:20:00

with the fact that you did all this this good? Study this bad and

00:20:00 --> 00:20:02

And one can also do the same for your good deeds. You can say, oh

00:20:02 --> 00:20:05

Hamdulillah I gave some money. Am I happy with this? Yes, I'm happy.

00:20:06 --> 00:20:09

Maybe I should do it more, how can I do it more, maybe I can keep

00:20:09 --> 00:20:13

money in the car. So we need people to Muslims to sit down and

00:20:13 --> 00:20:17

reflect upon their own lives, so that they can bring about change

00:20:17 --> 00:20:22

for themselves. It's Hamdulillah, the duty of the Imam is to remind

00:20:22 --> 00:20:26

us and the duty of the hookah is the liquor is a reminder. But what

00:20:26 --> 00:20:30

is the reminder mean? It means that you are free, that you it's

00:20:30 --> 00:20:33

something that you are really doing. If I say I'm going to

00:20:33 --> 00:20:38

remind you, or remind me, then it means it's something that I knew,

00:20:38 --> 00:20:42

you might just remind me that again about it. So a Muslim must

00:20:42 --> 00:20:49

indulge him, give himself 510 20 minutes every day, possibly some

00:20:49 --> 00:20:53

some people, once you have told me he does it at the evening, before

00:20:53 --> 00:20:56

he goes to sleep, then he, he goes through his whole day. Okay, what

00:20:56 --> 00:21:00

did I do? Am I happy with that action? Could I have done it

00:21:00 --> 00:21:05

better? How can I do it better, we have gone wrong. And he said that

00:21:05 --> 00:21:09

he's learned so much about his own self, this is the other thing. We

00:21:09 --> 00:21:14

as human beings have the brain capacity and capability to do to

00:21:14 --> 00:21:18

do things automatically. So reflection requires a bit more

00:21:18 --> 00:21:21

work. And you have to schedule it in and you have to make it part of

00:21:21 --> 00:21:27

your life. But guess what your admins mean, it isn't a bad. Allah

00:21:27 --> 00:21:27

says in the Quran,

00:21:29 --> 00:21:34

our lamb yet a fat cow? Who did they not reflect and contemplate

00:21:34 --> 00:21:36

Allah saying our lamea trafico

00:21:38 --> 00:21:41

in another IFP and fusi him in themselves? Did they not

00:21:41 --> 00:21:43

contemplate in themselves?

00:21:44 --> 00:21:48

Like asking, this is what I want from you? Why didn't you do it?

00:21:48 --> 00:21:49

It's an early bird.

00:21:50 --> 00:21:55

It's a bird of a movement and of a Muslim and a scene he must reflect

00:21:55 --> 00:21:58

upon himself or herself.

00:21:59 --> 00:22:05

And if you do self reflection, you will be able to can you see Jamaat

00:22:05 --> 00:22:08

must mean so if I look at myself, I can see maybe that the idea

00:22:08 --> 00:22:09

isn't so great.

00:22:10 --> 00:22:17

Maybe I cheated today in any exams or I spoke ugly, or I swore. Or

00:22:17 --> 00:22:23

I'm, you know, I'm using certain, I'm looking at certain, very

00:22:23 --> 00:22:27

exciting things on my phone that that Allah doesn't want me to look

00:22:27 --> 00:22:31

at perhaps this is wrong. Perhaps I should stop doing this. You

00:22:31 --> 00:22:35

know, it is very exciting that perhaps Perhaps Allah is not happy

00:22:35 --> 00:22:35

with me.

00:22:37 --> 00:22:40

If we practice this, you might miss me if it becomes part of who

00:22:40 --> 00:22:44

we are this being a reflective Muslim, then we can bring about a

00:22:44 --> 00:22:45

change in ourselves.

00:22:47 --> 00:22:52

Allah subhanaw taala says in Allah, weirdly Allah, Allah your

00:22:52 --> 00:22:57

euro will not change my becoming what is whether people had the

00:22:57 --> 00:23:03

euro euro mervi embassy until they change that which is by themselves

00:23:03 --> 00:23:08

within themselves. How do you change the Quran gives a method of

00:23:08 --> 00:23:10

change and that is the fact Quran.

00:23:13 --> 00:23:17

Allah subhanaw taala after he speaks about the prohibition of

00:23:18 --> 00:23:22

hammer and Mesa, which is intoxication, I mean, intoxicants

00:23:22 --> 00:23:24

and gambling,

00:23:25 --> 00:23:29

at the end of all of that is Allah subhanaw taala. First Allah

00:23:29 --> 00:23:31

subhanaw taala gives that ayah then Allah says

00:23:32 --> 00:23:37

that coffee Hema if mancha be wrong woman after earliness

00:23:38 --> 00:23:43

say to them Oh Mohamed that in these SallAllahu wasallam in these

00:23:43 --> 00:23:49

actions of you know, in wine and in gambling is a great sin.

00:23:50 --> 00:23:53

Woman, fear only that is also good in it.

00:23:54 --> 00:23:56

What's a good somebody makes some money.

00:23:57 --> 00:24:02

Well, if more Huma but the center of it at bottlemen never email is

00:24:02 --> 00:24:02

greater

00:24:04 --> 00:24:08

is greater than the benefit a few pennies that somebody will make in

00:24:08 --> 00:24:12

a profit the one person that will profit from it doesn't equate to

00:24:12 --> 00:24:14

the destruction that it leaves behind the hole in the rest of the

00:24:14 --> 00:24:15

community.

00:24:18 --> 00:24:23

Mean after the analysis was Aluna cometa up hula hula Gaddy. Then

00:24:23 --> 00:24:26

Allah says in that way, you will buy in Hula, hula hula, Allah

00:24:26 --> 00:24:28

makes the science clear to you.

00:24:29 --> 00:24:35

Law to watch along at alpha karoun so that they can contemplate in

00:24:35 --> 00:24:39

this ayah Allah shows us that a method of how you must be fixed on

00:24:39 --> 00:24:44

yourself. You take any behavior of yourself, then you will say well

00:24:44 --> 00:24:48

there is there is benefit in cheating. For example, I'll pay

00:24:48 --> 00:24:52

less but there is harm. Allah is not happy with me and my wealthy's

00:24:52 --> 00:24:52

is tainted.

00:24:54 --> 00:24:57

Okay, so this benefit in cheating. There is benefit in looking at

00:24:57 --> 00:24:59

things which are which you're not supposed to be

00:25:00 --> 00:25:04

Men and other things, we are benefits in it, but the harm of it

00:25:04 --> 00:25:04

is greater.

00:25:06 --> 00:25:12

And that's the way a person must be with oneself. Because the

00:25:12 --> 00:25:14

greatest challenge a Muslim has

00:25:15 --> 00:25:19

one of his greatest is that he mustn't, or she mustn't lie to

00:25:19 --> 00:25:20

themselves.

00:25:22 --> 00:25:26

That is a big, big problem because then you start entering into into

00:25:26 --> 00:25:28

the realm of hypocrisy.

00:25:30 --> 00:25:32

And so that you will become your own Imam

00:25:34 --> 00:25:37

you become your own Iman because you can see you look in the mirror

00:25:37 --> 00:25:39

and maybe maybe you should use a mirage or magnesium

00:25:41 --> 00:25:43

maybe you should stand in front of the mirror

00:25:47 --> 00:25:51

with hamdulillah with the with the main Abdullah, we have to stop him

00:25:51 --> 00:25:54

Please don't Don't spend too much time in front of the mirror.

00:25:56 --> 00:25:59

Beautify yourself when you when you when you stand in front of the

00:25:59 --> 00:26:03

mirror and you're putting some oil on your beard or you you know

00:26:03 --> 00:26:05

you're looking at your hair and you're making yourself look and

00:26:05 --> 00:26:10

you dust yourself off in the same way that you do that

00:26:11 --> 00:26:17

on a physical level, do it on an internal, spiritual, emotional,

00:26:17 --> 00:26:21

psychological, but most importantly character level.

00:26:23 --> 00:26:24

Masha Allah,

00:26:25 --> 00:26:30

we see everybody is a tie is beautiful. And most probably

00:26:30 --> 00:26:33

they've all looked at the mirror before they came to the masjid. In

00:26:33 --> 00:26:37

the same way, everybody's character character can be

00:26:37 --> 00:26:41

beautiful. If they look into the mirror of their own heart.

00:26:42 --> 00:26:46

If they look at the mirrors, and they become reflective Muslims,

00:26:47 --> 00:26:48

Sergio Martin Muslimeen.

00:26:49 --> 00:26:51

The lecture, the chutzpah for today is

00:26:52 --> 00:26:57

there is a way that a Muslim can improve themselves every day.

00:26:58 --> 00:27:02

The Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu wasallam says in Hadith, many

00:27:02 --> 00:27:06

stowa, we OMA who for whom are born, whichever is two days is the

00:27:06 --> 00:27:09

same. He has lost it, he has made a loss.

00:27:11 --> 00:27:16

Our duty as Muslims is to improve ourselves every day, not improve

00:27:16 --> 00:27:20

our bank balances every day, although that's not a problem.

00:27:21 --> 00:27:24

But the capitalist system only asked us to improve our bank

00:27:24 --> 00:27:25

balances every day.

00:27:27 --> 00:27:31

And now if you if you're going to hamdulillah there are some good

00:27:31 --> 00:27:35

things about the capitalist system. But they're also bad

00:27:35 --> 00:27:38

things. And we've got to ask ourselves, why am I perpetuating

00:27:38 --> 00:27:39

some of the bad?

00:27:40 --> 00:27:44

We spoken in the hood about making the machine more more community

00:27:44 --> 00:27:47

centric, make the machines a place where people can come at all

00:27:47 --> 00:27:52

times. And those are challenges to the to the committees of the

00:27:52 --> 00:27:55

machine they have to think about how can we bring the youth into

00:27:55 --> 00:27:58

the machine bring them onto the committees? How can we make this

00:27:58 --> 00:27:59

machine a place for everybody?

00:28:01 --> 00:28:04

A machine it as it was in the time of the Prophet sallallahu wasallam

00:28:04 --> 00:28:06

we've reflected on these words I mean on this

00:28:08 --> 00:28:11

and we've also reflected Jamaat newsmen and Hooda about how our

00:28:11 --> 00:28:16

Muslim community tends to be unreflective. They do things knee

00:28:16 --> 00:28:16

jerk.

00:28:17 --> 00:28:21

They're not thinking carefully about themselves where they are

00:28:21 --> 00:28:23

and where they are aiming to be.

00:28:24 --> 00:28:28

So I say to my, I say to you, my beloved brothers and sisters in

00:28:29 --> 00:28:31

Stafford Allah, I am not better than you.

00:28:33 --> 00:28:39

The Imam is not better than the congregation, but the Imams duties

00:28:39 --> 00:28:45

to the mind. But the best reminder from that I can give you is if you

00:28:45 --> 00:28:50

can be your own person to remind yourself if you can be you, if you

00:28:50 --> 00:28:53

can be a reflective Muslim and look at the mirror every day.

00:28:53 --> 00:28:57

Look, yes look at your at your altar. Because they are Hadith

00:28:57 --> 00:29:00

with the Prophet SAW. Selim used to look at himself and said, our

00:29:00 --> 00:29:05

Allah as you have beautified my altar, gamma has sent the Hello p

00:29:05 --> 00:29:10

as you have beautified my creation, for has seen who Loki

00:29:10 --> 00:29:13

beautify my character, the way that I interact. That's what we

00:29:13 --> 00:29:17

want Yamato Misumi we asking that each and every person uses the

00:29:17 --> 00:29:21

mirror and thinks about the Hadith of the Prophet salallahu Salam, O

00:29:21 --> 00:29:28

Allah, as you have beauty five my outer creation, beautify me by

00:29:28 --> 00:29:33

having beautiful character. I mean yellow banana mean? Please Yamato.

00:29:33 --> 00:29:36

Miss me, forgive me if I have said anything to offend anybody. Our

00:29:36 --> 00:29:39

idea is that we can improve ourselves and that the community

00:29:40 --> 00:29:44

can improve themselves. Just a reminder once more, the Jenna's

00:29:44 --> 00:29:49

Janessa is here at three o'clock at three o'clock. And in

00:30:04 --> 00:30:09

conclusion, we say to mark Muslimeen our team is a beautiful

00:30:09 --> 00:30:15

team. It's a game of continuous improvement, a dean of what the

00:30:15 --> 00:30:19

Japanese called Kaizen, which means continuous improvement. It's

00:30:19 --> 00:30:24

a dean that that wants us to be every day, a better person every

00:30:24 --> 00:30:29

day, to grow every day to go from strength to strength. So may Allah

00:30:29 --> 00:30:34

subhanaw taala grant all of us there, especially in our HELOC and

00:30:34 --> 00:30:38
