00:00:00 --> 00:00:05
			Assalamu alaykum Warahmatullahi
Wabarakatuh we continue our theme,
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:11
			Lian key and Salah hikma annual
Karim nights of empowerment,
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:15
			parables, parables and wisdom from
the Glorious Quran.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:23
			Allah makes a promissory statement
in the Quran when he says a Nila
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:26
			OD or our law, minimum income
means reckoning.
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:34
			Surely Allah will not cause any
action of any person, male or
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:37
			female, to be lost, or to be
invaded.
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:42
			And Allah further corroborates
that statement by saying when I'm
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:45
			Allah Saleh Amin decorating a
window
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:50
			for the young no higher Tonka
yerba are the legacy and know
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			whom, to whom we asked any Maka
and
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:58
			whoever does good, whether male or
female, and has faith, according
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			to the best of the deeds.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:05
			Of course, people do good deeds
and hamdulillah people do pray,
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:11
			the fast, they give charity, and
do these good acts. But the
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:16
			problem comes when at times, some
people do things that do more harm
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:17
			than good.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:22
			And Allah reminds us of is in the
Quran, he says, such people for
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:26
			whom ye saguna and whom you're
Shinola to Allah, those who do
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:31
			something, they assume it could be
good, but in actual fact, it may
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:35
			not be as good as they think, or
it may not be the right thing to
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			do in the first place.
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			It is therefore important to do
the right thing with the right
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			intention.
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:46
			But it's equally important to
realize the consequence of what we
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:46
			are doing.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:51
			But it's equally important to note
that the Rasul also said he
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:55
			documented in the Muslim of Imam
Muhammad in humble when he said
		
00:01:55 --> 00:02:00
			the Torah Jabu be Amelie, I hadn't
had that on guru Bhima Tamela.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:05
			Do not be impressed by any action
of anyone until you see the
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			consequence of the action.
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:14
			Why? Because besides the action
being evaluated by the intention,
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:19
			the value of the action is also to
be determined by the consequence,
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:22
			but the action eventually leads to
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:27
			so when Allah promises a German
accent, to reward people,
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:31
			according to the best of the
deeds, it has considered what is
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			called the Cobra effect.
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:38
			The Cobra effect is a term used in
economics, that refers to a
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:43
			situation when attempted solution
to a problem makes the problem
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:47
			worse. An attentive solution to a
problem makes the problem actually
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:48
			worse.
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:53
			This name was coined based on an
incident that occurred in colonial
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:58
			India, where in the area of New
Delhi, they were a lot of venomous
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			snakes in a particular area.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:03
			And people are dying due to these
snake bites.
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:08
			And the government's are hungry
law. snakes were killed, there was
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:13
			a reward, there was a dip in snake
bites and instincts in the
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:20
			facility. However, this led to
some serious, unwanted
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:25
			consequences. Why? Because after a
short time, what people realize
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:29
			they can make money out of this.
So some people took snakes, they
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:33
			eat them in the backyard. And
every time they needed money, they
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:37
			would kill a snake. So 10 Snakes
can coins. When the government
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:41
			found out about this, they stopped
rewarding people for dead snakes.
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:46
			Now the snakes were worthless.
What the people then did was the
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:49
			snakes were worthless, they went
in the surrounding area and let
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:54
			the snakes go. What happened? They
were far more snakes now in the
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			area than ever there was before.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:01
			You see, the solution to the
problem made the situation even
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:06
			worse, though it was well
intentioned, because they did not
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:10
			consider the possible our team the
consequence of it, you see, the
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:16
			unintended consequence, the
unintended consequence of a well
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:20
			intentioned idea may lead to the
worsening of the problem.
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:26
			The problem with many of us is
that the lack of attention to
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:29
			fiscal all of the fiscal
priorities
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:35
			we often seek the secondary before
paying attention to the primary
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:39
			and to the principal. We try to
examine in detail in debate about
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:44
			the emotion of a few. Realizing
without realizing the damage to
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:48
			the money. We act on the emotions
of a few without realizing the
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:53
			damage it may cause them anyway.
Let us reflect this. In the
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			Russell's life said Allahu alayhi
wa he was a
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			practical example during the
mechanism
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:04
			Easily Rosu live 53 years in
Makkah, last in using Medina 13
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:07
			years of those 43 years. His
mission is.
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:13
			The prophets mission was confined
in the first 18 years in Makkah to
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:16
			calling people to the cause of
Allah to cultivate monotheism
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:21
			mission, that was the focus.
During the second phase of his
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:25
			mission, the Prophet did not
Institute prayer fasting is
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:29
			obligated. He did not Institute
hygiene, though he was in Makkah
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			the very venue of the heart.
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:36
			What better place to start with
than being at a place in which not
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:40
			only that he did not allow the
Muslims to take up excess and
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:44
			destroy the idols that everyone
saw everyday around the Kaaba.
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:49
			That same karma built by Ibrahim
Ali Salaam is the global center of
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:53
			taurine, not as a masjid not a
place of worship only the global
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:57
			center of story. In fact, we
worship towards in the direction
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:01
			even when we pray say the primary
mission of the lawsuit is Tawheed
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:06
			in hola hola yo, are you sure can
be Nevada County May Allah forgive
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:10
			it anything but shooting the first
thing of the lawsuit led me to
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:11
			destroy the idols.
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:17
			So why didn't you do it? If your
mission history and the antithesis
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:20
			of Tawheed Allah forgives
everything but you want to destroy
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:25
			the idols. You are in Mecca. You
are the Aqaba. And you see the
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:31
			idols. You see, had he destroyed
the idols at that time, they would
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:34
			have been tremendous negative
consequences. There would have
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:37
			been tremendous bloodshed in
Makkah, his message would have
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:40
			been discredited, his entire
mission would have been
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:44
			jeopardized. His handful of
followers could have been wiped
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:44
			out,
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:46
			but
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:49
			at the right time,
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:56
			in the right manner. And in the
best way 23 or 30 years later. 13
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:59
			years of suffering in Makkah, says
the mount of Makkah, went to
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:02
			Medina, they fought him, they
killed his people.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:08
			After 10 years in Medina, 23 years
after he called them for the first
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:12
			time, with all the idols in the
Kaaba, and everything. 23 years
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:13
			afterwards, he comes back,
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:20
			he returns from the exile,
forgiving his enemies. And this
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:24
			serve as a magnanimous example, of
magnificence of prophetic
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:29
			character, depth of emotional
wisdom. They followed his example,
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:34
			he entered quietly and peacefully,
no tree was cut down. No water was
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:38
			polluted. No age one was
humiliated, no house was robbed.
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:43
			No woman was insulted. It was thus
that Mohammed re entered the
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:46
			latest city of Makkah. And through
all the islands of conquest,
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:51
			there's no triumphant entry
comparable to this one, Professor
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:51
			Stein leaving
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:57
			23 years after he enters with this
kind of dignity, those kind of
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:00
			magnificence of character and the
spiritual strength.
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:04
			The primary lesson for us in all
of us,
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:06
			do the right action.
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:11
			for the right reason, in the right
men
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:17
			at the right place, and at the
right time, then the Promise of
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:21
			Allah would let us see and know as
you roam the axon in Makkah and
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:25
			ohyama Allah will reward you
according to the best of your
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:31
			deeds. Akula kolyada was toquilla
Salam or aleikum wa rahmatullah.
