00:00:40 --> 00:00:43
			Food. I hope everyone is doing well. Sorry.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46
			I'm situating my Instagram camera real quick for
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:47
			you guys. Okay.
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			Okay. So everybody should be able to see
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			me, hear me, audio, visual, everything should be
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			good.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			I hope everyone is being able to
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			hear, comprehend everything well. So for those of
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			you who are on Instagram,
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:00
			just kind of like an update.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			Facebook is gonna be kind of like our
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:07
			follow along type of format where,
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			we have the screen share available where you'll
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			be able to see the verses that we're
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			going through. But obviously, if if you're in
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			your car or in your moments where you
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			can't actually see something,
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			then obviously Instagram is more than a good,
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			alhamdulillah, to follow along.
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22
			So for those of us who are on
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			Facebook and also those who are on Instagram,
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			we are going through now
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			the next chapter
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:32
			of Surat Al Qasas. Surat Al Qasas obviously
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			is the 28th chapter in the Quran,
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:35
			majority
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			of which is highlighting the life of 1
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			prophet Musa.
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			And prophet Musa, alayhis salam,
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:43
			obviously, we discussed
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:44
			before
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:48
			that, you know, he went through already a
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			tremendous amount of difficulty in his life. Right?
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			And he went through the you know, even
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			before he was cognitively
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:56
			aware,
		
00:01:56 --> 00:02:00
			he went through the trials of being floated
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01
			down a river.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			Then he went through the trial of being
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:06
			picked up by the same person who was,
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:07
			at the end of the day, gonna try
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			to kill him because of a prophecy he
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			was afraid of.
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			And then he was raised in that kind
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			of household,
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			and then he accidentally
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:17
			should break up a fight. He come he
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			he he accidentally
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:20
			killed somebody,
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			and therefore, he ran away
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:25
			to a different area, to a different land
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:25
			called Madyan.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			And then he helped these 2 young women
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			out in terms of watering their flocks for
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31
			them. And then he makes his
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			dua And then they invite him to their
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			their father's house who also ends up being
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			a prophet of God. His name is Prophet
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:41
			Shoaib
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			And at that point, Prophet Shoaib is so
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			impressed with the
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:47
			overall
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:48
			decency
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:49
			and morality
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:53
			and genuine nature of prophet Musa that he
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			not only offers him a job and reward,
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			but he also says that one of his
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:01
			daughters is interested in marrying him. And, again,
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			you know, one of the things that we
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			have talked about extensively over the past couple
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			of weeks is the idea of the sincerity
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			aspect of when a person does something.
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:12
			That when you do something very sincerely,
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:15
			the reward ultimately lies with Allah. Right?
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:20
			That your reward is everlasting. It doesn't end.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:24
			Okay? And so prophet Musa alayhis salaam was
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:25
			a direct recipient
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:28
			of that reward of that principle. That if
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:29
			you do things sincerely
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:31
			and you do things without seeking a reward
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:34
			immediately with anybody in this life, then Allah
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:35
			will reward you greatly.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			And most of us have our hopes in
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			the hereafter, but sometimes Allah might actually fast
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			forward that reward and give you something in
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			this life as well. And so he gives
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			prophet Musa Alaihi Salam
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			stability.
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			Right? Going from a fugitive with no family,
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			no money. He goes to having a job
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			for 8 to 10 years and also getting
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:56
			married to somebody that deeply appreciates him and
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			he ends up appreciating her as he gets
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			to know her. And so now at this
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02
			point of prophet Musa's life in verse 29,
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			for those of you who are on Facebook
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			and follow along, is that Prophet Musa Alaihi
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:09
			Salam now, he goes through this emotion where
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			he's lived a majority of his life now
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			or a big part of his life now
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:17
			in being a fugitive or leaving his hometown
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			or being away from Egypt where he was
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:19
			raised.
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22
			And so he has this kind of, you
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:25
			know, tendency, this human nature of wanting to
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:27
			go back, of wanting to go back. And
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			this is the same thing with the prophet
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:31
			sallallahu alaihi wasallam. This was the same thing,
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:34
			you know, with with other prophets of God,
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:37
			prophet Yusuf alaihi wasallam, where they actually wanted
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39
			to end up going back to where they
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:42
			originated from. The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam obviously
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:43
			end up living in Medina for the rest
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			of his life, but he also wanted to
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:48
			go back and and be in the same
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			place that he was born and raised. Right?
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53
			Makkah was still a home to him, You
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			know? And it was painful being away from
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			that for so long. And even those of
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			you who know, you know. If you've moved
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:01
			away from, you know, your home at an
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03
			early age or even, you know, later on
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			in your life, there's still this kind of
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:08
			really heart tugging feeling that you get when
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:09
			you land back in your hometown.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			Right? Even if, like, you know, you established
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:14
			a life somewhere else. You got married. You
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16
			got a job. You're going to school somewhere
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:17
			else. And a lot of the, you know,
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:18
			experience that you had in your life came
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			from that new
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:20
			place, there's
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21
			still this feeling of home that you miss.
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:21
			There's still this feeling of home that you
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			yearn for. And prophet Musa, alayhis salam,
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			was yearning for that feeling of of of
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:26
			home.
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			And prophet Musa Alaihi Salam was yearning for
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:30
			that feeling
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			of home because that's where his mom is.
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34
			That's where his mother is. Home is where
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			the heart is, right? And so prophet Musa,
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			alayhis salam, he tells his family now, the
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:39
			woman that he got married to, one of
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:42
			the daughters of prophet Shoaib alayhis salam. He
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:45
			gathers his his his family, and he says,
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			we're going to go travel.
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			We're gonna go travel. Alright?
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:50
			And
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:54
			they gather their things, and they start traveling.
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:58
			And they cross this desert called the Sinai
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:01
			Desert. Alright? They cross the Sinai Desert.
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:03
			And at this point, Allah,
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			he says in the Quran, he says,
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:09
			right?
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			That once Musa had fulfilled the term or
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:16
			his term and was traveling with his family.
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:17
			Okay?
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:20
			He caught sight of a fire. Oh, he
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:22
			caught sight of a fire on the side
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:25
			of the mountain. Okay? Minh, it it says
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:26
			here.
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			Okay? Okay. So he saw a fire from
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:33
			the side of the mountain. And, obviously, if
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			you put yourself in his shoes, you know,
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			traveling is not as easy as it is
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			today. Right? You don't just catch a flight.
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:40
			You knock out on the plane. Right? You
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			wake up and you're at your destination without
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44
			even feeling a pain of hunger or feeling
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			the pain of thirst or feeling any sort
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:49
			of wear and tear whatsoever. Now in the
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			time of prophet Musa, you're traveling through the
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53
			desert, you're going through like a terrain that's
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:53
			difficult.
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:55
			Food is limited. Water is limited.
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			And so prophet Musa from a far away
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			place, he says, I mean, Allah says, I
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:01
			mean,
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05
			he sees a fire. He sees a fire
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:07
			on the side of a mountain. And this
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			is, by the way, the mountain of Sinai.
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:09
			And
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:14
			he sees this fire, and he tells his
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:15
			family. He says,
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:18
			He says,
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			he says, kusu. Okay? Kusu,
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:22
			inni. He's
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:24
			a
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			Okay? He says that, you know, sit here
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			and wait. I have seen a fire. I
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			saw a fire with my own eyes. I
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			will bring some new I'll bring you some
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:36
			news from there. Like, I'm gonna go there
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:37
			and see if there's anything for us to
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:40
			kind of benefit from. Maybe it's another people
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:41
			that are traveling, a group of folks that
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43
			are going on a on a journey just
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:45
			like us. Maybe there's some food there. Whatever
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:46
			it is, I'm gonna go and check it
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:47
			out over
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:50
			I'm gonna go check it out. Alright? And
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:51
			by the way, the story of prophet Musa
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:54
			alayhi salaam is covered in much greater capacity
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:57
			in other Surah as well. For example, Surat
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:57
			Al Araf
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:00
			covers the meaning of Allah and prophet Musa.
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:03
			Surat Al Taha, which we're gonna kind of
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			reference here in a second, also covers a
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
			little bit of the story of prophet Musa
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:08
			and Allah. Okay?
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11
			Another surah that covers it is Surah Al
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:14
			Shura. Surah also covers kind of like the
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			later half of prophet Musa alaihis salam's life.
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:19
			And so at this point here, prophet Musa,
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:20
			he's going towards this mountain.
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:23
			Right? This Mount of Sinai, Turi Sinim.
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:26
			And he goes up there, and he's looking
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:28
			for where the source of this fire is.
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:31
			What is it? Right? What could it possibly
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:31
			be?
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34
			And when he gets up there, it says
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:37
			It
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40
			says here, but when he reached it,
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:43
			a voice called out to him.
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			A voice called out to prophet Musa alaihi
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:46
			salaam.
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:49
			Okay? And now prophet Musa alayhis salam is
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:50
			a little bit afraid.
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:53
			He goes, okay. This voice is very intimidating.
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:55
			You know, I'll give you guys a very
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:57
			I'll give you guys a short reference here.
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:00
			It said here, the prophet Musa alayhis salam,
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02
			he it proves that he was one of
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:03
			the prophets that was in the presence of
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:06
			God himself. Right? Prophet Musa, alayhis salam, was
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:08
			one of the prophets who had the honor
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:10
			of being in the presence of Allah himself.
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:12
			So the natural question is,
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:15
			what did Allah look like?
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:18
			Right? What was it? What was it like
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:20
			to be in the presence of God? A
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:22
			lot of us sitting here in our day
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:24
			and age, you know, a big thing that
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:26
			would resolve a lot of the crises of
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:27
			faith that people have,
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29
			A lot of the the the things that
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:31
			would be solved by the issues that people
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33
			have in faith and the lack thereof would
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35
			be solved if you could just see God.
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:38
			Right? If God really is there, then why
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:41
			can't we see him? Okay. So he says
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:43
			that he's in the presence of prophet Musa.
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:45
			So what is the situation when he's with
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:48
			prophet Musa alaihis salaam? Right? What what is
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:50
			Allah what does he look like? What is
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:51
			he doing there? Right?
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:53
			One of the examples I wanna give here
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:57
			is when the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam, he
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			was going on this journey called Isra wal
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:02
			Mi'raj. Everyone has heard of this journey before.
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:04
			Right. The miraculous journey that the prophet took
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:06
			to go to the heavens. Right. To go
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:07
			and see the heavens.
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10
			And he went up and up and up
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:11
			through layers and stages
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:15
			and in pieces of heaven. And he sees
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:18
			prophets of old. He sees prophet Musa. He
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20
			sees prophet Erisa. He sees prophet Yusuf. He
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:23
			sees Harun. He sees Ibrahim. He sees Adam.
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:26
			He sees all these prophets, and he finally
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:29
			goes up to this area where Jibril alayhis
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:32
			salam, the angel, the archangel Gabriel,
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34
			he tells the prophet Muhammad, sallallahu alaihi sallam,
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:36
			he says, You Rasoolullah,
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:38
			I can go no further.
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:40
			I can go no further than this.
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:43
			And the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam just
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:45
			kinda taken aback because, you know, Jibril alaihi
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:47
			salam is almost like that friend role to
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:49
			the prophet sallallahu alaihi salam. Right? He's like
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:51
			an older brother, like a protector. He goes,
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:52
			Jabril, you gotta come with me. Right? Like,
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:53
			what am I gonna do about myself?
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:57
			Jabril goes, if we, the angels,
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:00
			are going any further than this, then the
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:03
			moment we go further to this level that
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:04
			we are not allowed to go into, we
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:06
			would disintegrate into nothing.
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09
			We would disintegrate into nothing,
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11
			Jibril alaihi sallam says, and he's the greatest
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:12
			of the angels.
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:13
			Okay?
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:14
			And
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:16
			when the prophet Muhammad
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:18
			went to the heavens and he was in
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:19
			the presence of Allah, and Allah gave him
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:22
			the ordinance of prayer of good deeds,
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:24
			of, you know, how the scales are weighed
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:26
			in terms of good versus bad deeds.
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:28
			A lot of the companions when the prophet
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:30
			came back, they said,
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:33
			what did Allah look like?
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36
			This is like a very fascinating question.
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:38
			What did Allah look like?
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:40
			What was it like to be in the
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:41
			presence of Allah?
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:43
			The prophet
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:46
			he tells his companions. He says,
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:49
			you know, my dear friends, my companions,
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:53
			how could I glance upon Allah himself?
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:55
			There's a narration that says that when the
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:58
			prophet of Allahu alayhi wasalam neared the presence
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:01
			of Allah, he immediately fell into sajdah. So
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:04
			his eyes could not gaze upon Allah.
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:07
			He fell into sujood in front of Allah
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:09
			that his eyes would not be allowed to
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			look at Allah directly. He was in a
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:13
			state of prostration the entire time he was
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:14
			talking to Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:17
			Ta'ala. And there's a narration here from Surat
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:19
			Al A'raf, for the same thing of prophet
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			Musa. When prophet Musa Alaihi Salam was in
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:23
			the presence of Allah in this case right
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:26
			here, it says that the intensity was so
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:26
			high.
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:27
			You know?
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:29
			When they were when he was on top
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:32
			of this mountain, the intensity was so high
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:34
			that he it says that he Allah called
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:37
			him towards a tree. Okay? It says a
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:38
			tree right here. In this in this verse
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:40
			right here, you can see my mouse. I'm
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:41
			pulling it right here.
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:42
			It says,
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:45
			Okay?
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48
			Means from a tree on a blessed ground.
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:51
			Okay? I'll, it says here,
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:59
			That if it was a blessed ground that
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:00
			the and and there was a tree there.
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:01
			So we know the descriptions of what it
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:04
			looked like when prophet Musa saw Allah is
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:06
			that there was a tree, there was a
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:09
			fire, and, you know, Allah was just it
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:11
			was like a light. Okay? And from this
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:13
			light, prophet Musa, alayhi salam, Surah Al A'raf,
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:16
			it says that prophet Musa passed out. He
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:16
			fainted.
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:18
			He felt unconscious
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:21
			because of the greatness of Allah's presence that
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:24
			Musa, alayhis salam, himself, he went completely
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:25
			unconscious.
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:29
			And then when he woke again,
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:30
			he woke up.
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:33
			He heard a voice that said, You Musa.
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:41
			Okay? Says here in Suratul Qasas, ayah 30,
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:41
			it says
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:45
			You Musa,
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:47
			I am God.
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:48
			He says,
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:51
			I am Allah.
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			The Lord of the worlds. The Lord of
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:55
			all the worlds.
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:56
			Okay?
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:58
			And inshallah Allah
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:00
			Allah also expands on this. He actually says
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:02
			he says,
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:11
			Right? Indeed, I am Allah and, you know,
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:12
			there is no God except me.
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:18
			Okay? So worship me.
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:22
			And and and establish prayer.
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:25
			Pray for Allah so you can remember him.
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:28
			That's one of the first orders that Allah
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:30
			gives prophet Musa alaihi salaam.
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:31
			It's incredible. You know, a lot of us
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:33
			sometimes we try to kind of downplay this
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:35
			idea of salah. Right? Oh, salah. If I
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:37
			miss salah, it's whatever. If I miss fajr,
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:39
			it's whatever. If as long as I got
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:40
			Ramadan. Right? I was like, you know, as
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:42
			long as I get, like, at least 3
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:44
			out of 5, I'm shooting, like, you know,
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:44
			75%.
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:47
			I'm shooting 60%. Right? I got 4 out
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:49
			of 5, man, I'm shooting 80%. It's better
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:51
			than, like, Steph Curry's free throw jumper. Like,
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:53
			you know, like, we we start to rational
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:55
			rationalize ourselves, like, what the
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:57
			the the the make of tendency of salah
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:58
			is.
		
00:14:58 --> 00:15:00
			But if we really understood the concept of
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:03
			salah and catching your salah, making sure you
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:04
			pray, why?
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:07
			To remember Allah, we would never again question
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:09
			the importance of this prayer. We would never
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:11
			again dare to question the importance of salah.
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:14
			And so at this point,
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:17
			Allah insatul Taha, he tells prophet Musa Alaihi
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:19
			Salam, he says the hour is coming. Okay?
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:22
			Though I choose to keep it hidden, Allah
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:23
			says that the day of judgment is coming,
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:24
			Yeah, Musa.
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:26
			Okay? The day of judgment is coming, and
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:27
			this is Surah Al Taha.
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:29
			The The day of judgment is coming, but
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:31
			I'm keeping it a secret. I'm not going
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:34
			to disclose exactly when it's going to hit.
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:36
			For each soul is to be rewarded for
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:37
			its labor.
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:38
			Okay? Each soul
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:39
			is to
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:45
			be Every soul will be held accountable for
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:47
			what it did in this life. Yeah, Musa.
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:01
			He says, do not let anyone who does
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:03
			not believe in it and follows his own
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:06
			desires distract you from it. Okay? He goes,
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:08
			don't let this life don't let this life
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:09
			fool you. This life is temporary.
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:13
			And then here, Allah ta'ala in Suratul Tasas,
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:14
			he says,
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17
			he goes, what do you have? He he
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:19
			goes, throw down your staff, Musa.
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:21
			He goes, throw down your staff.
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:22
			Okay?
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:27
			He says, He goes throw down your staff.
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:30
			And prophet Musa, alayhi salam, he threw down
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:31
			his staff.
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:35
			When he saw his staff moving like a
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:35
			snake,
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:39
			he fled in fear. He got scared.
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:42
			He got so frightened that a staff could
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:45
			move like a snake that he fled.
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:47
			And Allah says in that he would not
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:49
			return unless I asked him to return.
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:52
			Right? That the miracles of Allah are so
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:55
			eye opening that some people that witness them
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:57
			will run and will not return unless I
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:58
			tell them to return.
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:00
			Okay? And he
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:01
			says, You Musa.
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:05
			He says, You Musa.
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:10
			He says, draw near. Come back, You Musa,
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:12
			and don't be afraid.
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:15
			Come back, You Musa. Don't be afraid.
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:21
			You are those who are safe.
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:25
			Don't worry, Musa. I got you. Alright? He
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:26
			goes, Musa, throw it on your staff. His
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:27
			staff becomes a snake.
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:30
			Okay? And he gets extremely scared, and Allah
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:32
			asked him to come back. He says, don't
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:33
			worry, Musa.
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:36
			You are those of you are of those
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:37
			who are safe. Alright?
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:40
			And then Allah tells prophet Musa to do
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:42
			something else. Allah goes to prophet Musa. He
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:42
			says
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:48
			he says, Okay. He says he goes, put
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:51
			your hand inside of your shirt, and it
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:54
			will come out completely glistening white. This is
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:55
			another miracle of prophet Musa, a s s,
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:57
			life, that he put his hand inside of
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:59
			his shirt, inside of his garment, and he
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:02
			lifted it up, and it became completely
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:02
			white,
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:04
			completely white.
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:07
			And he says to prophet Musa, alayhis salaam,
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:08
			he
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:09
			says,
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:14
			He says that these shall be the two
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:16
			signs from your Lord. Okay?
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:22
			That these are the two signs from your
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:24
			Lord that you are going
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:27
			to that you're going to show
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:28
			Okay?
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:30
			You're going to show
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:32
			and his chiefs these two miracles that I
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:33
			just showed you. Alright?
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:36
			And
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:39
			they are truly wicked people.
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:42
			Those people that that you used to live
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:45
			with were terrible people. Pharaoh, his his homies
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:46
			were terrible people.
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:48
			So what I ask you to do now,
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:49
			you Musa,
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:50
			is
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:54
			I ask you to go and pay a
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:54
			visit.
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:55
			Says,
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:03
			It goes go pay a visit. Now
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:06
			all the things that just happened, y'all,
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:08
			very, very,
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:10
			very interesting
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:11
			and
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:13
			stress inducing situation.
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:15
			Prophet Musa, all he wanted to do was
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:16
			go check out a fire,
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:19
			and the fire ends up being Allah.
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:22
			That presence ends up being Allah.
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:23
			He goes, yeah, Musa,
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:25
			imnani am Allah.
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:32
			Okay? I'm Allah. I'm talking to you, Musa.
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:35
			Musa right now is scared. He's terrified. And
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:36
			by the way, the same thing happened to
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:38
			the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam. If you think
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:40
			about it. Right? And this is the humanity
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:42
			of the prophets. The prophets of Allah had
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:45
			this human kind of tendency within their prophethood,
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:47
			that when they first were exposed to Allah
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:50
			directly, they got extremely scared because this is
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:53
			the actual magnificence that Allah has.
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:56
			Right? You think about when the prophet of
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:57
			Allah Subhan
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:58
			received revelation
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:03
			in the in the mountain of life. Jibril
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:05
			came down and says, Iqura, You Rasulullah.
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:06
			Iqura
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:19
			And the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was trembling
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:20
			and shaking.
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:21
			He was terrified.
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:25
			Talking to Allah sometimes is very intimidating.
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:27
			Sometimes it's very intimidating,
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:31
			but that's just to show the prophets the
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:32
			magnificence of Allah.
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:34
			And you know another thing I want I
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:35
			wanna say to everybody,
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:37
			I wanna say to all of our listeners
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:38
			right now,
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:39
			is that
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:42
			if this is the a
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:43
			limited
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:44
			limited
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:47
			version of what Allah really is,
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:50
			prophet Musa fainted, the prophet
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:54
			he didn't even talk to Allah directly. He
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:55
			fell into sujood,
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:57
			and Allah had to send Jibril to talk
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:58
			to him through him,
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:02
			but Allah continues to tell us to talk
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:02
			to him.
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:08
			Just remember me, and I will remember you.
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:09
			Talk to me.
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:11
			Talk to me. That's
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:13
			it. Don't be afraid.
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:15
			Don't be afraid.
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:16
			Right?
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:19
			Allah is so accessible.
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:21
			It's one of the most beautiful points I
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:23
			think I've ever heard in my life from
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:24
			our teachers
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:27
			is that these verses show us how magnificent
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:28
			Allah is.
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:30
			You will faint
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:32
			if you even have, like, a glimpse of
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:34
			him. He is so great that you will
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:36
			fall into sujud and you cannot face him
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:37
			directly. But
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:39
			us, normal people,
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:40
			myself,
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:42
			everybody else
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:45
			here at roots, Allah tells you, just talk
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:45
			to me.
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:47
			Just talk to me.
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:50
			It's gonna be okay. I'll take care of
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:51
			you. Right?
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:53
			And so now
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:56
			prophet Musa, alayhi salam, he tells Allah in
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:58
			Suratul Qasas, verse 33, he says,
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:07
			He says,
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:08
			Allah
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:11
			my Lord. He takes Allah as his Lord.
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:12
			He says, You Allah.
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:18
			He says, I killed one of their men.
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:21
			10 years ago, I accidentally killed one of
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:23
			them because I can't go back there.
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:26
			Right?
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:28
			He goes, and I'm I'm afraid.
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:31
			He goes, so I'm afraid for
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:35
			that they will that they're gonna kill me.
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:38
			That I killed one of them accidentally years
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:39
			ago, and I'm afraid if I go back
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:41
			through that, they're gonna all
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:43
			pile up and try to kill me.
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:46
			And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, he tells and
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:48
			and then he again, another thing, actually, by
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:49
			the way, before he tell he tells Allah
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:52
			Allah responds to him, he says another thing.
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:53
			He says,
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:56
			He says, my brother
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:58
			my brother, Harun, is more eloquent than I
		
00:22:58 --> 00:22:59
			am.
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:02
			He's a better speaker than me. He goes,
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:04
			Harun is a better speaker than me. I
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:06
			can't go back there. I can't go back
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:08
			because I killed somebody and now they're gonna
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:10
			try to kill me, And I'm also stuttering
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:12
			because I'm so nervous.
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:14
			This is another thing of prophet Musa, by
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:15
			the way. And I mentioned this in our
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:17
			our stories from our past series is that
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:20
			a interesting factoid that people don't know about
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:22
			prophet Musa is that the scholars, they actually
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:24
			said that prophet Musa alaihi salam had a
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:26
			stuttering problem when he was nervous.
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:29
			He had a stuttering problem when he was
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:29
			nervous.
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:32
			Then when he was scared or he was
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:35
			a little bit afraid, prophet Musa alaihis salam
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:36
			used to stutter.
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:38
			He used to jumble his words a little
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:41
			bit. So he asks Allah, he says,
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:45
			Okay?
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:47
			He says
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:49
			he's more eloquent than me.
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:52
			He goes, he's he's better at speaking than
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:54
			I am. He's smarter than me, you Allah.
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:56
			Tell him to go do it. Tell him
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:58
			to go do it. I fear that they
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:00
			may call me a liar. Right?
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:07
			Right? He goes, I'm afraid that if I
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:08
			talk, that they're gonna call me Allah, you
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:11
			Allah. You know, haroon is better speaking than
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:12
			me. Allah says,
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:18
			Musa,
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:20
			you are my prophet, and I want you
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:21
			to go and talk to
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:25
			Musa as Sam is scared. He's terrified.
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:27
			He's so afraid.
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:30
			And in this Surah
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:31
			in this Surah,
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:34
			in Surah Taha, right, in Surah Taha,
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:38
			prophet Musa at this point makes a very
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:40
			special dua. And I'll and I'll and
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:42
			I'll say this dua in Arabic, and then
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:44
			I'll say it again in English for everyone
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:46
			to kind of understand it and carry on
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:47
			or follow with the translation.
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:49
			Prophet Musa in this du'a, he knew that
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:51
			he had to do something that Allah ordered
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:52
			him to do.
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:55
			And because of this, he knew that he
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:57
			had to build up some courage.
		
00:24:58 --> 00:25:00
			He had to build up a little bit
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:01
			of bravery.
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:03
			He needed some sort
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:06
			of strength, some inner strength. You know, in
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:08
			sports terminology, a lot of people, they kind
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:10
			of, like, say this, dig deep.
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:13
			Right? Dig deep and find it. It's in
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:16
			you. You just gotta go and find it.
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:19
			Prophet Musa Alaihi Salam and Surat Al Taha.
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:21
			In Surat Al Taha, prophet Musa Alaihi Salam,
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:22
			he says,
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:28
			He says,
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:29
			you Allah,
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:32
			lift up my heart.
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:33
			He goes,
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:35
			expand my chest.
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:39
			And then he goes,
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:44
			And he says, and make
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:47
			my task what you asked of me.
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:50
			Make it easy, You Allah.
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:53
			Don't make it difficult for me. Make it
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:54
			easy.
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:56
			You know, a lot of times in Islam,
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:57
			we have this misunderstanding
		
00:25:57 --> 00:26:00
			that, like, we should go through that difficulty.
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:02
			Like, we want to go through that difficulty.
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:04
			We want to go through the trials and
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:06
			tribulations. No, man. You don't wanna go through
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:08
			difficulty. You want Allah to give you
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:11
			ease. Right? You want Allah to give you
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:11
			ease.
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:16
			You don't say the opposite, You Allah, make
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:18
			my task hard for me. You say
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:21
			Make whatever
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:25
			obstacle that stands in front of me, Allah,
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:27
			make that obstacle easy for me.
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:30
			That exam that I'm about to take that
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:32
			will decide whether I get into this program
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:33
			or not, Allah
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:36
			make it easy for me.
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:40
			Make it something that I will meet with
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:42
			bravery and and encourage,
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:43
			and I will triumph
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:46
			over it. Make it easy for
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:54
			You. It says untie the knot that's in
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:55
			my tongue.
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:58
			And this proves that prophet Musa had a
		
00:26:58 --> 00:27:00
			had had an issue with speaking when he
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:00
			was nervous.
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:02
			So he asks Allah.
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:07
			There's a knot on my tongue, you Allah.
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:09
			Sometimes you like we feel like it, by
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:11
			the way. When we're nervous, we're having a
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:13
			conversation with our parents
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:14
			that is going
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:17
			to decide our future. Right? But, like, yeah,
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:18
			you know, Amu, Abu,
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:21
			mama, baba, I really like this person, and
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:22
			I wanna get married to them. You said,
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:24
			what? Right?
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:26
			Like, why don't you tell me? Right? Like,
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:28
			Allah untie the knot in my in my
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:30
			tongue. Because whenever I go up to these
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:32
			scary moments, I get really tongue twisted.
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:34
			I get tongue tied.
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:35
			I get scared.
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:37
			So he says, you Allah
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:39
			Okay?
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:43
			And then he says,
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:47
			So that they may understand my words, You
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:47
			Allah.
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:49
			Right?
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:53
			And then
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:56
			Allah Ta'ala, he says, God said, we will
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:59
			strengthen you, You Musa. We will strengthen you
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:02
			with your brother. Okay? Allah says, I will
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:04
			strengthen you with your brother,
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:07
			Because I don't I'm not gonna leave you
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:09
			alone. Allah will never leave you alone. Your
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:12
			brother, Harun, will accompany you, but you gotta
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:12
			do this thing,
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:14
			You gotta do this thing. You gotta go
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:16
			up to all you gotta go up to,
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:17
			and you gotta tell him like it is.
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:19
			But I will allow you to bring your
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:22
			brother, Harun, with you. Okay? And we will
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:24
			give you both power.
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:25
			Okay?
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:25
			Sultanan
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:27
			Fala Yassiruna.
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:28
			Okay?
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:32
			That we will give you guys
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:35
			and and and and we will give both
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:35
			of you
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:38
			powers. Okay? And we'll give you strength so
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:39
			that they cannot touch you.
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:42
			We will give you strength and power so
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:43
			they cannot touch you.
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:44
			Alright?
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:46
			And with our signs,
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:49
			Tina. Okay?
		
00:28:55 --> 00:28:58
			Okay? And with our signs, you and those
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:00
			who follow you will triumph.
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:03
			You will be successful.
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:06
			You will win. Why? Because you have Allah
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:08
			on your side. This is the most beautiful
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:09
			thing right here. I'm gonna highlight this for
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:11
			everybody as an end to today's session.
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:14
			Right here is going to be our takeaway.
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:17
			Allah says, with our signs
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:18
			with our signs,
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:20
			antumahwamanittabaakumahwamanittabaakumahalibun.
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:29
			That with our signs, with our help, you
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:30
			will never lose.
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:31
			Understand
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:34
			if you have Allah on your side, you
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:37
			will always win. Understand that the entire world
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:39
			stands on one side and Allah stands on
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:41
			the other side, you will win because of
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:44
			Allah. Understand that if you are facing the
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:46
			biggest obstacle, the biggest fear in your entire
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:48
			life, and that fear seems like the size
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:51
			of a mountain, and, Allah is on the
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:53
			other side, you will triumph over it. Why?
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:55
			Because with the help of Allah, you can
		
00:29:55 --> 00:29:56
			triumph over anything.
		
00:29:57 --> 00:29:59
			With the help of God, you can triumph
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:00
			over anything.
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:04
			And with that, we will pause here for
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:05
			today's session. I want you to keep this
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:06
			about 30 minutes.
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:09
			We have been able to accomplish that. Alright,
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:10
			guys? So
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:13
			lessons to take away from today are many.
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:17
			Allah ta'ala will, you know,
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:18
			sometimes
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:21
			teach us in ways that are sometimes difficult.
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:23
			You know, the prophet Musa, alaihi salaam, meeting
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:25
			Allah was not easy. He fainted when he
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:27
			first saw Allah. He got scared. He got
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:29
			a little bit worried when he first saw
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:30
			Allah. And Allah says,
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:32
			don't worry, You Musa. You are of those
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:34
			who are Amini, and Allah says, you are
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:35
			those who are protected,
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:37
			those who are safe. Okay?
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:45
			Pray so you can remember me. Never ever
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:47
			lose track of your prayers because prayer is
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:49
			a way that you remember Allah. It's a
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:50
			way that you keep up with Allah. That's
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:52
			the way you keep in a relationship with
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:53
			Allah
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:56
			through your salah. Okay? And then Allah says
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:58
			you have to attack your obstacles,
		
00:30:58 --> 00:30:59
			the things
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:02
			that that make you afraid, the things that
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:05
			challenge you, face them head on. But don't
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:06
			face them head on just
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:08
			like on a wing and a prayer. What
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:09
			you say
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:12
			is
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:17
			Ask Allah for his help. Ask Allah to
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:18
			make your task easy.
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:23
			If you get nervous when you're approaching a
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:25
			task and your tongue gets twisted and tied,
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:28
			Ask Allah to
		
00:31:29 --> 00:31:31
			relieve that tongue twisting for you. Right? Make
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:34
			it easy for people to understand your speech.
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:36
			Alright? And then Allah says at the end,
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:43
			That when you have Allah on your side
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:44
			and those who follow you,
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:46
			you'll win everything.
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:49
			You'll triumph over everything. You don't gotta worry
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:51
			about it. Alright? So inshallah, those are our
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:53
			lessons for today. May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:55
			allow us to be people who are faithful
		
00:31:55 --> 00:31:57
			in God. May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala allow
		
00:31:57 --> 00:31:59
			us to learn from his blessed book. May
		
00:31:59 --> 00:31:59
			Allah
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:02
			allow us to be people who not only
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:03
			recite his book, but also,
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:07
			implement it, learn from it, really apply it
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:09
			in our lives. May Allah
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:11
			allow us to draw close to him through
		
00:32:11 --> 00:32:14
			our courageous, you know, our our bravery and
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:16
			our courage because of the gifts that he
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:18
			has given us. May Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:20
			allow us all to be people of bravery
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:22
			and all to be people of courage because
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:24
			we know as long as we're believers and
		
00:32:24 --> 00:32:26
			we're faithful to Allah, Allah will always stand
		
00:32:26 --> 00:32:27
			on our side in the face of any
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:29
			sort of challenge or adversity. We ask Allah
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:30
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to accept.
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:39
			Everybody. May Allah keep you guys all safe
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:41

00:32:42 --> 00:32:43
