data to our data in better Wakanda data, Laura kanagaraj in Vietnam,
brothers and sisters in Islam,
in our struggle,
daily struggle,
we always faced with limitation.
We always run into that wall.
We always found and find ourselves not moving forward.
Perhaps if we ask ourselves a question, why am I in this situation? And what is the problem that I cannot move forward with my life? The clear answer would be because you put yourself in that situation?
The answer would be the only limitation that can be put on you is the limitation that you put on yourself, not when no one else has the authority, or the resource, or the ability to restrict you, to put you in a cage to put you in a situation where you cannot move forward.
And that's why
in this very short talk, that I will present from this podium,
our address certain issue that insha Allah would allow us to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Therefore, I would need your attention and I would need your imagination. Because me talking from here only addressing a crowd that is absent minded would not serve the purpose. But a view we can work together and see if we can cross that line that we can all succeed be in the lab and walk out of this hole with a point which is I am capable of changing myself.
High aspiration
every single Muslim, every single human being should live under that banner, highest flourish. I want to move forward with my life. See all of you sitting here whether you me or my more whether you are the man of authority or someone has authority over you, whether you work for someone or you work for yourself and other work for you, others work for you. Whether you in this situation because you want to be here or someone force you here to be here. Whether you like it or not, there is no limitation except the limitation that you have over yourself. make that clear.
And if you look
in the lifestyle of Muslims nowadays,
they always say, I want to be humble Muslim. I want to live with the minimum. I want to live with what that is enough for me on my family for the day. I want to live in a simple house. I want to drive a simple car. But this is not what Islam teaches.
No. Islam teach that you must aim higher than that is slash cheese that if you're driving a certain vehicle, you better upgrade yourself. See we have new Muslims who accepted Islam
from
them
if they were excellent individuals, if they were a students, we don't expect them to be a students and just excellent person, individual, we expect them to be a plus. We expect them to excel.
And Islam allows you that.
If you look
at the lies of the messengers of Allah subhanho wa Taala you will see them always aiming high. You will see them always want better, being closer to Allah subhanho wa to Allah, and to aim high in the status so they can be closer to Allah. Look, for example, masala is Salatu was Salam.
He's a former family and he used to be slaves, but he is strong, he were the servant of the slaves of your own.
The one Allah chose him
and made him his own prophet.
Allah said about him was to kill enough See, when he to snare Allah. In Wakanda, Mama moose attack Lena, always status was given to musala his Salatu was Salam. And it was enough for him to say, I was chosen out of Bani Israel in I was chosen for people who used to be slaves. I am a chosen person. And not only that, Allah subhanho wa Taala. Allah gave me all this titles. But no, he wanted to aim higher than that.
He wanted to be better than any other poverty that was error that ever existed. And what did he say to Allah subhana wa Tada. When Allah spoke to him, he said, Oh Allah, you gave me all this status, in other words, but I want to have one thing that no one ever had before. That is, I want to see you.
Upon parnaby allow me to see you.
See, if you look at the status of Moosa here everything. He was from the Odin, Asan from the five chosen prophets, he is the Messenger of Allah. But at the same time, he said, No, I want to upgrade my status. I want to be the prophet SAW Allah subhanho wa Taala. So he said, Oh, Allah, let me see you.
Allow me to see you.
Because as a Muslim,
this should be your ambition.
You always want to aim high.
You always want to go higher.
Never be content. And I'm not saying that you should be an ungrateful individual. I'm not saying that you should be an thankful person. No, you should say Alhamdulillah. Allah blessed me with however, I can do better.
I can do better.
And look,
look, Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
Look Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam again.
He had everything
that a prophet can ask.
He was hot in an MBA. He was the seal of the prophets.
He was the one that Allah soprano. What's the ANA said big before because of you on by you, we will seal all the messengers, and no one will come after you.
But then look,
he tells us I am the first servant of the earth will release him from their graves. He's the first person that will come
out of his grave.
He is the first person and the only person that Allah was allowed to intercede for others.
He is the only person the only person that gates of general would open no one before him.
Then look what he says a lot while he was what had to be saying.
Look what he said.
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
there's only one spot, emerging from the day that Allah created Adam
and the genes to the last day. There's only one spot that everyone that Allah create can aim and dream above one is swag. Now for two, not for second and third and fourth one is swag.
Did he say he was saying I love my brother. My my father, April.
Either he said him, let him have that swap. Did he say I want my brother Moosa to have that spa, he say no,
after every and then
ask a lot to give me the receipt, to give me that place, to allow me to be that place, that is only for one person.
And that's why every time and not only that, he said, if you do this for me, I want to intercede for you on the day of yom Okayama, after you heard the other than, if you say a long
time Mohammedan was
whatever
it was that his status, he said, then my shefa is yours.
Your messenger of Allah
did not want to be second purse, because second is always for God's
you know, imagine look at the light Look around you look at see this light. They only when they talking about the history of energy and electricity, they will only mention the man who came up with not the man who developed
when they're talking about, you know, telephones, they only mentioned the man who came up with
when we talking about for Aha, we always start with Abu hanifa because he is the first place there's always no place for a second purse. So as a Muslim, if you say I am content, I'm happy, I'm satisfied with the second place that I will tell you, that is a status and the mentality of a loser.
Because your messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said only one person and he aimed that
he said the nation's the prophets will present their followers, I want to be the one who has most followers. Therefore, marry women who have children. He wants to be first he wants you and I because we are His followers to be first of nations, but look at the status of the Muslims nowadays, we are on the back burner. We are on the wagon, we are way behind all other nations, you know why?
Do you know why we became followers not leaders
is because we no longer aim high.
We no longer aim high.
Look. Now if one of the brothers takes off his hats and sees what is when the hat is made.
He will see that had probably made in China.
You know, if you see the car that you driving, perhaps car was made elsewhere. If you look into your shoes, you will probably see that shoes was made by someone other than Muslims. So we became followers.
And this is not what a Muslim should be.
Muslim should need what do you know for your general information?
Do you know that we as Muslims came up
all the social principal aspect of the people live by today.
In Canada, when your child is born, where I live
in Canada when your child is born, they give you something called child allowance.
Which means every month your child will receive money from the government. And then when you go to a Muslims Oh my God, we don't have that back home. Guess what? We came up with that cash. It was
the one who came up with child alongs cancer.
It was
a no no no no no. Every Muslim child that is born he should get salad from Baten man
Do you know if what if we learn and I'm not talking about medicine, engineering chemicals. We're not talking about math. We're not gonna say all Mashallah Muslims are the first people who came up with zero.
The number I'm not talking about zero mean no result. number zero, that digit we came up with. Imagine now math without zero. We came up with that. You know, I'm not talking about this simple thing. But do you know
this the concept of animal rights my brother last night mentioned some of it.
Do you know
At the time of Omar bin Abdulaziz,
we had departments department and the beta man.
And this department is vonden is a government funded departments. And what did they do? They cater one of the departments to blind animals.
Now, imagine that government is funding an organization, or department of its its own government and say we will hire people to take care of blind cats. Do you have that in anywhere else?
Muslims came up with the concept of animals, right?
Do you know at that time, we had
department from retired animals?
Come camels, mules, donkeys, horses?
When they get old, nowadays in Canada, we put them down.
But do you know in the Muslim country, our own amount and ruler said they did their due? Now it's time for us to serve them, let them die in peace? Do you know that? No, we don't. We only think Muslims are always in need, you know, and at the mercy of others, no, we let the world to light
we lead the world to light
and this is what if you love what you and I are missing? Missing our history.
And look at the Sahaba
look at the Sahaba because when the teacher is great, can only produce a great students. What How do you defuse a Muslim? Min Hadith arrabiata even carbon eslami Now listen to the Hadith.
or via this man was a simple man. very devoted, dedicated, decent, sincere Muslim.
And he took upon himself to serve the Messenger of Allah sallallahu Ani, he was saying
I want to serve you a messenger of Allah.
So he served.
And also like, you know, like most of you.
He used to give back to those who again, if you do him a favor, he would give back and do you a favor nutso saying Jessica Lohan and walk away know he you give him a gift you will give you a gift. If you do him a favor, he will do you a favor. If you give him something he will give you something in return. So he saw this man, bringing water in the middle of the night for Waldo
seemed this man always serving for her son. Olivia, ask
Olivia, ask.
Now imagine you have the opportunity
to ask someone of authority. Anything that you want.
Imagine
me
says to you, what do you want? What would you say? What would I say? I will say I want an hour. I want a palace. And I want Lexus and BMW would be perfect. You know, maybe two or three of them. You know, I want something in decent
belavia he said
as Erica, I'm asking you, moron,
to be your companions in general in paradise.
He did not say Yano saw the law appoint me as a governor of the city of Mecca. He did not say let me be in charge of beta man fired bill and he is very first type person. He's not giving much I'll take care of business. No, he said I won't be your companion in general.
So I was shocked. Yeah, and he is smart man.
On our higher than IQ. He said Do you have any other wish?
Do you have anything else should I make out for you? I'll give you well Should I make down for lots of give you more beautiful wife should I may have a lot to give you a beautiful children strong children on a Hoover that that's what I want. Say this man was extremely a business minded Sahabi because he realized that this jr is Fannia is going to perish is going to disappear. It's true
matter of days however status in gentlemen something paradise means something so he said I don't want to be far away from you. I want to be right next to you
intelligence I say Mohammed cabana said
call me No wife yet Alan. He said the week movement
he find excuses in Aqaba.
He said what I couldn't get the job because, you know hamdulillah Allah decree.
I couldn't you know, get married because I'm really done. He said no, was Macmillan coffee. He said, Who? Allah Allahu Allahu wa. Qatari. He said it is him? Who is the cover of Allah and his color in that individually, that person that alone would make change in the environment. Mama ban, a Pakistani poet, Sharon, Pakistani poets who Masha Allah Allah gave him some inside n, regardless of whether, you know, I'm good enough. But look how we analyze the situation.
He said a weak moment always find excuses. And he said, Well, this is what a lot decreed for me, I want to just be a driver. I'm going to be just working as a teacher, because this is my other he said no. Minimum, are we that strong moment is the one who acts as a copy of a law and his decree is
make the change, do not expect change to come to you.
So this is an attitude of I'm
not too many magic. He said do not lower
your desire, your aspiration, your ambition, do not lower it. He said nothing is more harmful
to you, then lowering your ambition, saying hamdulillah I have this I'm okay.
As not you.
Allah did not create you to be someone like that. Allah rated you to lead whole humanity, a work when you change and lead these people to the to the Lord, lead them to Allah and don't be weak. Because weak is a science, we being weak is a sign of that you gave up? No. And look abubaker says they will have to face al Bahasa a Muslim Lady
abubaker is in the
messenger overlock with the Sahaba.
And a ma in the Messenger of Allah said, Men and *a he said whoever spends two things to the ham to dinner $2 to two goes to sheep, anything to then a caller would call and will say to you, you are in this design for you.
This is high for you. And then he said so if you were from the people of Sabah, your name would be called from the gate of sanuk. And you if you are from the people of jihad of Salah, then you name will be called from the gate of Salah. And if you're from the people of jihad, then you name will be called from the gate of jihad. And if you are from the people of cm fasting, then you name will be called from the gate of raian.
Now look at this. Look, look at the imagination and the desire of this person do
them surely whether with a G within a one year who can be like
walking light and easy, but he's always first
he said to him jasola law, there is no harm. There is no problem. If your name is call from any of these gates. However, he said, is that a person that his name can be called from all gates of gender? He said yes. And I hope you're going to be one of them.
You know, he did not say I want to intergender from Babel.
Forget it. You know the man he cannot enter from all engaged but he wants to wish that his status Hey, wait a second. I want my name to be called from gate a year from gate a Jihad from gate a sadhaka. From this I want my name to be everywhere.
See a Muslim. You may want to
know
the Messenger of Allah
If you ask a lot,
ask him paradise know, and fill those in Allah. There are eight different levels. Your messenger is saying, don't sell with any paradise, ask those in our law
because this is aiming high.
You know why?
Because the day that you say, I'm just gonna aim for Asian,
then you may not reach
one of the seller for him Allah
said to his son,
Monica took
he said to his son, who is your role model?
Now imagine son young boy,
his father's asking him, who's your role model
and the young boy, he can't
hear reflect on the situation. And he realized his father goes for fragile in congregation.
He follows goes to Hajj, he gives Saba he prays for Yemen name, he is an alum from Alma he does everything and then the young boy came to the conclusion he said I want to be like you
your son always want to be like you why because to him you the best you the best until the age of you know he's just lose his mind, you know, to him you the best. And the father like a lion he came back and he said to us, it you nothing but a loser. And he looked at me said to an economist
phonearena honey, he said I want it to be like Ani even thought it and look at my sarus why.
Because if you aim low,
you can get lower.
But if you aim
higher, if you aim to be next to Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in Paradise, then you may be without ima
you may be with a Tabby in you may be with people of righteousness. So always brothers always, never error. Say I'm satisfied. I'm content with what I am. No, and I'm not again. Again, do not misunderstand my message. Do not say want to be a person who disregard everything that Allah gave? No.
No, even though I am setting him up Hola. The ultimate goal that men should aim for is to please Allah subhanho wa Taala and asking you to do this through Hillel means I'm asking you to live a life of a Muslim that is not satisfying, what the simple thing that he has Omar Abdul Aziz
calling in never enough soon to work. He says I have enough. I have enough that always aims Hi, he said first that I desire was to be on him to learn and then I became Alan.
And then he said and then I decided to marry the daughter of the honey for Fatima. So, I married her
and then I decided to be a governor. So I got to be the governor of the city of Medina.
He said then I wish and I desired to be
the halifa the king, the ruler of the Muslims.
He said that I got it.
Now look at the stars.
on him. He became a married father to me and father Matt he married Fatima to be a governor he became a governor to be a halifa he became a honey he said but now my knifes desires Jana
desires. Jenna. So look at yourself. Look at this man. He took steps, practical steps. Now what do you need to do is always, always aim higher than your status. If you have only
high school diploma, say no. I want to get my college degree. If you have that say no. I want to go to university. If you have that. You say no, I want to do my masters. And you have that you say no. I want my PhD. If you have that. You say wait a second. What else can I do?
There's always room for improvement and the sky
The limits, but the only enemy that you have is you
the only limitation that you have, is you no one else.
We have some hands on what in my community.
We have a Chinese man who accepted Islam.
Chinese.
You know he doesn't speak Arabic.
He can't read Arabic. Arabic is not his language. He doesn't know much about Islam other than the basic principles of his sermon and mentals of Islam.
So he accepted Islam.
He came and he said, Imam Syed,
what else can I do?
What else can I do? I'm a new Muslim. I just embrace Islam. What else can I do?
I said, do the best that you can.
He comes back four months later.
Four months later,
he can read Arabic.
He can can't recite in Arabic. Not all perfect. You know, understandable. But he can compress he can talk to you. What do you do an Elan hammer.
You teach them is basics is a Yes, yes. I remember that. You know, but the idea is in four months, he was able to ask questions. And then he said are the same. mm say that also memorize 15 songs.
I said so.
The kids our own kids were born for Muslim fan. I struggling with alum Tara cave a fan of robocopy as having seen you have 15 sora in five in four months? He said yes. Allah me recited to you.
Now imagine Chinese brand new Muslim, one hamdulillah he grew his beard is worrying isn't that a Koofi? Is those not necessary? And he's reciting? Or on his reciting? And I didn't know what to do? Should I cry for my problems? Should I cry from the puddles of my shoe? I cry for the situation? Should I correct that little mistakes and the Landon huffy and jelly that he has in his recitation? Should I feel proud and chest hugging? Should I say to him, listen, you putting us into shame. Please go hide somewhere else. Should I hide the rest of the Muslim away from this man? What should I do?
in four months
able to read, write, compensate and memorize Arabic about 15
and he said you did well. He said I'm afraid that I disappointed you imagine I wanted to do more.
And I looked at Muslims. And I said wait a second.
What are our kids doing? And I looked in my office and you know what our children are doing? No BB m in our BB m means
black berry messaging? I don't know if you have here and they just doing like this. Yeah funan did you do your Koran or no chef? Yeah funan so the reason is, because we did not aim high. But this is a small percentage
of Muslims. I know the majority of you
are aiming high.
And when I say drive the best
because there are so like wrote the best. His camel was the best of the camels Don't say that. The camel of the messenger was from a welfare a camel or a camel. A weak camel that they got it from for my you know, I worked zoo. No. And by the way that Zoo Muslims came up with the zoo, the concept of Zoo we came up with a handle no credit for that I guess. Again.
Concentrate, focus. And may Allah subhanho wa Taala accept our effort. And may Allah subhanho wa Taala give us give us that insight light that encouraged us that enable us to do things for oma, what if Allah
in conclusion.
I want to say this.
This oma
has only you no one else
this Dean has only
You no one else
on on the day of human piano,
when we are standing in front of the Messenger of Allah,
what can we say to the sort of lines of the law and he was saying,
what have we done?
I mean, you're come
and hadn't been worried has nine band saw
it come. You have been a German who has the Imam of the oma on the day of Yamaha piano.
You come and you have Omar bin Hopper, who gave half of his wealth, who died for the sake of the snam you have our buckle who gave all his wealth? You come and you have Hamad bin Hamblin his back is he speaking on his behalf is being lashed.
You come and you have our son who march against the enemy of Islam with the minimum number
what you and I gonna present on the day of your myopia
How can we compete with these people?
and say, This is what I did for my Dean. This is what I did for Islam abubaker Mr. Step aside and here
What if you learn
there is no one else for this Deen except you.
There is no other hope except you. There's no other future except you. So, your chin, make it up. Pick it up. Go walk with you know, raise your head. Why? Because you belong to omata Mohammed sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Be proud of who you are. Present Islam with no shines with no shame, with no greed, and live Islam. And Allah subhanho wa Taala Adam, which is a common law fair.
Reliable
Jazakallah Ferren shake for this lightning talk.
We have a few questions from both the ends, the ladies and the gentlemen, we're going to
start. I'm going to start mentioning the questions to you chef. First question is, Can one touch
real quick Quran without Voodoo?
And the second part of the question is can a woman in her monthly cycle read Quran by memory touch or read a Quran
Rahim this subject goes back to the subject which is the origin subject which is is the heart are necessary for our touching the Mazel Tov.
And as Mr. Homer law stated, there are different two different different opinions concerning the issue. The first of the opinion says that you cannot touch the most half
in the state or unless you're in the state of Nevada.
And the other state that opinions opinion that yes, you can touch it because there's no evidence based on the Hadith and the views of the law. It was said in the Hadees. Abu Bakar is Abu hurayrah the long running one in the Messenger of Allah said Subhana Allah
Subhana Allah can a moment ever be impure?
And of course and marble is cold in the heat of Allah subhanho wa Taala in Limassol and mocha Harun
in a nutshell not to be long or confused you we will consider statement basing on the statement of ignorance Samia Rahim Allah if you have a Muslim with a cover that is permissible, but an elder, and it's preferable for you to be in the state of Ohio, for the sisters, and during her menses or during that time of the month. There is no evidence is no proof that she cannot read the Koran. She cannot read the Koran. And there are other messages emitted in the show. If you do have a dream, man, as you know that a person who Allahu those who allow that she can read half of an ayah or part of an idea, they have no evidence for that. And the correct opinion since there is no clear evidence of
all the ahaadeeth that is being reported concerning the issue is weak, is permissible, and there is no harm for her to read. reading the Koran
does not occur and this next question is more like more of an Akita question.
I don't know it's actually a question or statement but somebody is saying that people say that, you know,
Allah does not have a gender but it is mentioned as who are he for Allah in the Quran, and some of the characteristics and qualities of Allah subhanaw taala we mentioned, which are also characteristics like anger and happiness for humans. How do you reconsider that?
For the first part, see in Arabic
We have who were here.
Only two terms can be used
in English, we had he, she and it's three different
words that you can you can use. Now when you can when you want to translate when the translators want to translate a law,
it cannot be it.
And it cannot be she, therefore they chose the word Who was he in English. And of course, in Arabic, Allah soprano with Anna is that a female? No, he has an agenda as we know, but it's more linguistic terminology that has been used in terms of the attributes of Allah subhanho wa Taala. As a movement as a minion, and Muslims, we believe whatever came from the book of the law is true, and there's no doubt in and wherever it came from the sooner authentic soon of the Messenger of Allah is true, and there is no doubt in it. Therefore, when a loss of handle without a state of certain attributes, the attributes of smiling, the attributes of anger, the attributes of mercy, we said, yes, it is part of
this is what our last panel with Allison and we accept? Are these related to the anger will human nor? Or are they similar to the anger? Or the attributes of a human? The answer is no. However, Allah Subhana, Allah said, Lisa committed he she, and this there's none equivalent, or like a loss of Hannah with data. But this is something other than how we interpret or understand the law.
All right, there's a question here, which is a common misconception in our societies about giving the Quran to non Muslims. What is the ruling regarding this? How do we, you know, present this to the non Muslims? And the other part of the question is, how do we give Dawa to the non Muslims
giving them must have,
based on the HTML for cohort of this sign that we're relying on, if the must have has two different languages, English and the Arab
that this is cannot be called must have this is a translation of the parameters which have been designate what they mean, again, in others, therefore, is acceptable for you to give that to a non Muslim because in reality, you're not giving the most half you're giving a must have must have been part of that. It has him Allah, he went to the level that even the actual must have, you can give it to another Muslim, because of the sort of lines on the line was going to say, Hello, how do you have at that he wrote letters, and in those letters he add is, therefore a non Muslim can have part of the Koran however, correct opinion of this, the Indian I somehow know what Allah is, if you have a
Muslim that has English and Arabic together, this is in the menu, from the time of Tafseer of Quran, and it's not the actual on, it's like giving Tafseer in a cafe to someone. However, just to be on the safe side, if you have on that is all English better. Why? Because the non Muslim may give my put the Koran in the bathroom. And of course, they are the words of Allah subhanho wa Taala minus see how to their brothers and the sisters who are handing out on his and then Muslim A lot of times, especially the one that we know, they very respectful in the sense that they will not disrespect something that you gave. And if you give them instruction and said Listen, you know, be respectful
to this book, we honor we respect them, please keep it out of you know impurity places and status and situation. They usually do. But again to be on the safe side, give them that little introduction. And if you cannot do this, I think it would be better if you give up on complete Hold on. How should we give down? Which is the second part of the question.
A lot of people assume which is also good that by giving out some material reading material DVD of Zack Kanye uses SS and this you know, it helps. Absolutely. That helps. Some others they say you know we should have a booth and we should preach to the non Muslims and tell them about Islam, which is also okay. But this is
not the thing that I would say the best hour that you can give to a non Muslim is you living Islam.
Don't lie. Don't cheat. Don't be late. Don't cut corners. Don't you know play games. Be straight forward.
Just live Islam as simple as that. When a sister she's walking
Outside of her house, she's not she doesn't have a makeup. She's not as smelling all Mashallah beautiful. She doesn't have her hair in a certain way. And Mashallah people will see her as a walking Ayah or on that is walking because she is an eye in that aspect. Now, when she lower her lower when she lowers her gaze, when she talks to men is straightforward and formal. People will say other women say, Well, she demands respect. This era to this behavior demands respect. Therefore, they will respect when they see you. When your neighbor sees you, Ramadan, you give them food, you give them drink, you help them out, you clean your area, your house, the front of your house is
clean, your house always clean you you're not loud, you don't play music, Pakistan or Indian or Somalia out of loud music. You just do this. Then again, they will say I want to know about this. Keep in mind, the only reason that our brothers, Malaysia and Indonesia accepted Islam is not through literature. It's not through lectures, it says to them, it was just a behavior exchange. What impressed them was their behavior. So if you live Islam, you are perfect. Excellent Dahlia. And that's why when I set out the law on how to say, Hey, how
are you?
When I was asked about the whole of the messenger overlock caught kind of hook. Oh, hold on. She said his manners was the Koran. And this is enough.
Just to last question for tonight.
Someone is asking that Is it wrong to be content with the dunya and yet aim high for the Euro?
innovation Allahu Allah He was setting them
to sit at
the podium and Canada dounia Akbar
Allahu Akbar Bina na farakka Allah He, when I'm 30 minute dunia illa makuti via Wi Fi while on 30 minute denier in dunya in Nam, the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said who whosoever is concerned the most concern is his worldly life, that Allah Subhana without I would place a poverty between his eyes and his junior he will not gain from this Junior except which is that which is written, one one candidate after whosoever is desired an aim and ultimate goal is akhira is then Allah Subhana. Without us he will place richness between his two eyes. And then his other long other he was setting them were attacked with dunya he Allahumma salli wa ala he says this gentleman will
come to him. And the dunya is forced to be under his knee, knees or another narration means that jr will come to him desiring him. So what I'm saying is this.
you utilize whatever you have in this Junior one attend Santa Siva camino dunya however you utilize it, and use it as me for I'll give you an example. Now,
if you're well off,
if you're well off, you have enough for your family and for yourself.
Now what can you do, you can give us a car, you can go to Africa, Asia and give down, you can support them. You can sponsor your team, you can sponsor a needy family. You can come here in Dubai and give our left hand right because now you're self sufficient with the left hand. But imagine if you have to work 12 hours for your daily living. Imagine if you have to do all this when you're going to give down and your income is hand to mouth so what I'm saying is upgrade yourself now for the purpose of living and reclining on this Jr. For the purpose of if you are a doctor will you learn him and you have well income that comes well of income. You can give a lot of your time and do
Tao so what I'm trying to say use the means for a law do not accumulate wealth and be like our own, but use it as a mean that it will make you from the people of Jana had his eye shadow the alarm authorities Ayesha when when Abdur Rahman been off? When kind of how do you think column after man been out for the long run who came to the city of Medina with a 1000 camel loaded with everything that people need? businessman straight businessman and then the whole city shook
the whole city and the people came out What is happening? They say a caravan of Abdul Rahman bin out. Chateau de La Hoya and her said I heard the messenger
a law saying that after a man been offered intelligence crawling again, how do you defeat him a Con Edison if he hadn't been Alomar spoke about the idea. Now
the answer is that are smart enough to know when to eyeshadow the way along? And he said, Did you hear this from the messenger of a law? She said yes. He said by a law by law
I'll make you my witness of everything that I have here is sort of copy civilian law. One law I I will I will try to interject not walking. So what are the humming off did was utilized what a love blessing with to be in general. So that's what I'm trying to say here. Not to community community, I mean, accumulate accumulate wealth, and be like hottel No, be like Abu Bakar bambino salvin, Abby will cause you know, after a man when often others will long Allah,
Allah,
Allah Quran shake, there is a comment over here. Please don't conclude yet. We want more, please. But unfortunately Alhamdulillah every good thing has to come to an end. So we have to conclude the talk tonight. And the question answers just before we leave, we have one
brother who here who'd like to come into Islam, he's ready over here. So we would like him to come up on the stage, and take the testimony of the faith with the share in sha Allah.
Just for the non Muslims who are watching this or being part of this,
you have to understand what the law in hand
by our brothers stating the Kenyan or the Shahada testimony, there's only one God worthy worthy of worship the following follow thing, the following thing happens one,
he becomes part of us, we love him. And we will love him like we love our own blood. Biological brothers, too. All of the sins are forgiven. The Christianity we have or they have the origin sin. In Islam, you were born with no sin and by the time you return to Allah, by stating that she had, you also become no sin and sin this and that's why we call them revert net convert. Now, the second the third thing that happens is his life change becomes better person. So I would encourage all the non Muslims just to reflect on that. And may Allah guide us all. Now he will say after me. What's your good name? Jane? Jane, my name is Sai. Nice meeting.
Jenny gonna repeat the statement of your life and this is the turn of your life. A new beginning new light. So you say a shadow a shadow and law law ilaha illa Illa Illa ma la wash had acid and Mohammed Mohammed Rasool Rasul Allah, Allah Congratulation, Mia.
Just a word of wisdom.
When you welcome your Muslim brother,
let him see the beauty of Islam.
Let him see that we are warm people. Let him see the care that Islam teach. Let him see the beauty of being a Muslim. Not a person that we just hug him on the stage and he drops down and that's it. But let him be a member of the family. Allah Allah Allah moussaka.
Hi in the status so they can be closer to Allah. Look. For example, masala is Salatu was Salam.
He is a former family and he used to be slaves, but he is Surat, Edward the servant of the slaves of your own.
The one aloha chose him
and made him his own prophet.
Allah said about him was to kill enough See, when he to snare Allah Wakanda mama who moves attack Lena, always his status was given to musala his Salatu was Salam.
And it was enough for him to say, I was chosen out of money is thrown in. I was chosen from a people who used to be slaves. I am a chosen person. And not only that, Allah subhanho wa Taala. Allah gave me all this titles. But no, he wanted to aim higher than that.
He wanted to be better than any other powerful that was ever that ever existed. And what did he say to Allah somehow?
with Donna, when a law spoke to him, he said, Oh Allah, you gave me all this status, in other words, but I want to have one thing that no one ever had before. That is I want to see you
or not, allow me to see you.
See, if you look at the status of Moosa here everything he was from the udon Asan from the five troezen prophets, he is the Messenger of Allah. But at the same time, he said, No, I want to upgrade my status. I want to be the prophet SAW Allah subhanho wa Taala. So he said, Oh, Allah, let me see you.
Allow me to see you.
Because as a Muslim,
this should be your ambition.
You always want to aim high.
You always want to go higher.
Never be content. And I'm not saying that you should be an ungrateful individual. I'm not saying that you should be an thankful person. No, you should say Alhamdulillah. Allah blessed me without ever I can do better.
I can do better.
And look,
look, you have met some Allahu alayhi wa sallam.
Look at a sort of lice all along while he was sending him again.
He had everything
that a prophet can ask.
He was Hartman MBA. He was the seal of the prophets.
He was the one that Allah subhanho wa Taala. Anna said big before because of you on by you, we will seal all the messengers, and no one will come after you.
But then look,
he tells us I am the first servant of the earth will release him from their graves. He's the first person that will come
out of his grave.
He is the first person and the only person that Allah was allowed to intercede for others.
He is the only person the only person that gates of gender would open no one before him.
Then look what he says a lot while he was What did he say? And
look what he said.
So long as he was setting them said
there's only one spot emerging from the day that Allah created Adam
and the genes to the last day there is only one sperm that everyone
can aim and dream about one swab. Now for two now for second and third and fourth one is what
did he say? He was son I love my brother, my my father Abraham Allah. He said him, let him have that swap. Did he say I want my brother Moosa to have that spark. He say no.
After every ad an
asked a lot to give me the receipt, to give me that place to allow me to be that place that is only for one person.
And that's why every time and not only that, he said if you do this for me, I want to intercede for you on the day of Yamaha piano after you heard the other than if you say a long
time ago salatu
wa
ala D was that his status? He said then my shefa is yours.
Your messenger overlong
did not want to be a second purse. Because second is always for God's
you know, imagine look at the light Look around you look at see this light. They only when they're talking about the history of energy and electricity. They will only mention the man who came up with net the man who developed
when they're talking about, you know, telephones. They only mentioned the man who came up with
when we're talking about Aha, we always start with Abu hanifa because he is the first place there's always no place for second purse. So as a Muslim, if you say I'm content, I'm happy. I'm satisfied with the second place that I will tell you that is a status and the mentality of a loser.
Because your messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said only one person and he aimed
He said the nations the prophets will present their followers. I want to be the one who has most followers, therefore, marry women who have children. He wants to be first. He wants you and I because we are His followers to be first of nations. But look at the status of the Muslims nowadays, we are on the back burner. We are on the wagon, we are all way behind all other nations, you know, why?
Do you know why we became followers, not leaders,
is because we no longer aim high.
We no longer aim high.
Look, now if one of the brothers takes off his hats, and sees what is where the hat is made,
he will see that had probably made in China.
You know, if you see the car that you driving, perhaps that car was made elsewhere. If you look into your shoes, you will probably see that shoes was made by someone other than Muslims. So we became followers.
And this is not what a Muslim should be.
Muslims should need what do you know, for your general information?
Do you know that we as Muslims came up
all this social principle an aspect of the people live by today.
In Canada, when your child is born, where I live
in Canada, when your child is born, they give you something called child allowance.
Which means every month your child will receive money from the government. And then when you go to a Muslims Oh my God, we don't have that back home. Guess what? We came up with that cause it was
the one who came out with child cancer.
It was
a no no, no, no, no. Every Muslim child that is born he should get salad from beta man.
Do you know if what if we learn and I'm not talking about medicine, engineering chemicals. We're not talking about math. We're not gonna say all Mashallah, Muslims are the first people who came up with zero.
The No, I'm not talking about zero mean no result. number zero, that digit. We came up with emerging now math without zero. We came up with that. You know, I'm not talking about this symbol thing. But do you know,
this the concept of animal rights? My brother lost? I've mentioned some of it.
Do you know at the time of Omar bin Abdul Aziz.
We had departments department and the beta man.
And this department is vonden is a government funded departments. And what did they do? They cater one of the departments to blind animals.
Now, like imagine the government is funding an organization or department of its its own government and say we will hire people to take care of blind cats. Do you have that in anywhere else?
Muslims came up with cans of animals, right?
Do you know at that time, we had
DEP from retired animals,
camels, mules, donkeys, horses.
When they get old nowadays in Canada, we put them down.
But do you know in the Muslim country, our own American ruler said they did their due? Now it's time for us to serve them. Let them die in peace. Do you know that? No, we don't. We only think Muslims are always in need, you know, under the mercy of others. No, we let the world to light.
We let the world to light.
And this is what if we learn what you and I are missing? Missing our history.
And look at the Sahaba
look at the Sahaba because when the teacher is great can only pray
Jews are great students. When How do you defeat a Muslim? Man howdy arrabbiata, even carbon eslami Now listen to the Hadith,
or via this man was a simple man, very devoted, dedicated, decent, sincere Muslim.
And he took upon himself to serve the Messenger of Allah sallallahu it he was saying,
I want to serve you a messenger of Allah.
So he served.
And also like, you know, like most of you.
He used to give back to those who again, if you do him a favor, he would give back and do you a favor nutso saying Jessica Lohan and walk away. No, he gave him a gift, he will give you a gift. If you do him a favor, he will do you a favor. If you give him something he will give you something in return. So he saw this man bringing water in the middle of the night for Waldo.
See him this man always serving for Allah yarrabah son, Olivia, ask
Olivia, ask.
Now imagine you have the opportunity
to ask someone of authority, anything that if you want.
Imagine.
And he
says to you, what do you want? What would you say? What would I say? I will say I want to I want to palace and I want Lexus and BMW would be perfect. You know, maybe two or three of them. You know I want something in decent
belavia he said
as Erica, I'm asking you, moron
to be your companion in general in paradise.
He did not say Yano Sona la appoint me as a governor of the city of Mecca. He did not say let me be in charge of beta man fired banana. He is very first type person. He's not giving much I'll take care of business. No, he said I won't be your companion in General
rasuwa was shot on a small man
on our hydro danek he said Do you have any other wish?
Do you have anything else? Should I make dinner for you? I'll give you well Should I make down for a lot to give you more beautiful wife should I make a lot to give you a beautiful children's strong children partner whoever that that's what I want. Say this man was extremely a business minded Sahabi because he realized that this jr is Fannia is going to perish is going to disappear. It's just a matter of days. However, status in general mean something paradise mean something so he said I don't want to be far away from you. I want to be right next to you.
Intelligence. See Mohammed cabana said
call me No wife. Yet Alan. He said the weak movement.
He find excuses in Aqaba when
he said what I couldn't get the job. Because, you know hamdulillah Allah decree
I couldn't you know, get married because I'm really not. He said know what I mean? And he said, Who? cada Allahu Allahu wa Qatari. He said it is him? Who is the color of Allah and his color in that individual. That person that Allah would make change in the environment.
By a Paxton Pakistani poets shine Pakistani poets who Masha Allah, Allah gave him some insight and regardless of whether you know him good enough, but look how we analyze the situation. He said, a weak movement, always find excuses. And he said, Well, this is what a lot decreed for me. I want to just be a driver. I'm going to be just working as a teacher, because this is my father. He said no minim kawi. That strong moment is the one who acts as a cover of a law and his decree is
make the change do not expect change to come to you.
So this is an attitude of woman.
He said not
Sakina mini Matic, he said do not lower
your desire, your aspiration, your ambition, do not lower it. He said nothing is more harmful
to you, then lowering your ambition, saying Alhamdulillah I have this, I'm okay.
As long as you,
Allah did not create you to be someone like that Allah rated you to lean on humanity. Allah grant you change and lead these people to that to that law, lead them to a law and don't be weak. Because weak is a science, we being weak is a sign of that you gave up? No. And look, abubaker says they will have his face al Bahasa a Muslim lady,
our workers in the
messenger overlock with the Sahaba.
And among the Messenger of Allah said, Men and *a, he said, Whoever spent two things to Durham to dinner, $2 to, to go through sheep, anything to then a caller would call, and we'll say to you, you are in this design for you.
This is high for you. And then he said, so if you were from the people of Southern Africa, your name would be called from the gate of Samak. And you are if you are from the people of jihad of Salah, then you name will be called from the gate of Salah. And if you're from the people of jihad, then you name will be called from the gate of jihad. And I view all from the people of siyam. Fasting, then you name will be called from the gate of Iran.
Now look at this. Look, look at the imagination and the desire of this.
man living with
them she rewarded with a G within a one year who can be like,
walking light and easy, but he's always first.
He said to him jasola law, there is no harm. There is no problem. If your name is call from any of these gates. However, he said, Is there a person that his name can be called from all gates of gender?
He said yes. And I hope you're going to be one of them.
You know, he did not say I want to intergender from Beverly and hamdulillah Forget it. You know, the man he cannot enter from all engaged, but he wants to wish that he status Hey, wait a second, I want my name to be called from gate a year from gate a Jihad from gate a sadhaka. From gate this, I want my name to be everywhere.
To Muslim. You may say I just want to
know
the Messenger of Allah said if you ask a lot.
Ask him paradise know and fill those in Allah. They are at different levels. Your messenger is saying don't sell with any paradise. Ask those in our law.
Because this is aiming high.
You know why?
Because the day that you say I'm just gonna aim for agenor
then you may not reach
one of the seller for him or her law.
Set to his son.
Monica took
he said to his son, who is your role model.
Now imagine some young boy
his father's asking him Who's your role model
and the young boy, he can't explain it. Here reflect on the situation. And he realized his father goes for further in congregation.
He follows goes to Hajj. He gives Saba he praised a young man named he is an alum from Alma he does everything
and then the young boy came to the conclusion he said I want to be like you
your son always want to be like you why because to him you the best. you the best until you reach the age of you know he's just losing his mind. You know, to him you the best. And the father like a lion he came back and he said to us it You're nothing but a loser on the relay Look at me said to an economist
for greener honey. He said I wanted to be like Ali
and Luca my sarus
Why?
Because if you aim low,
you can get lower.
But if you aim
higher, if you aim to be next to Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in Paradise, then you may be with him.
You may be with him, you may be with people of righteousness. So, always brothers always, never error, say I'm satisfied, I'm content with what I am. No, and I'm not again, again, do not misunderstand my message. Do not say, want to be a person who disregard everything that Allah gave no.
No, even though I am said of him a whole lot. The ultimate goal that men should aim for, is to please Allah subhanho wa Taala. And asking you to do this through halaal means I'm asking you to live
a life of a Muslim, that is not satisfied with a simple thing that he has Omar Abdul Aziz
call in never enough soon to work. He said I have enough. I have enough that always aims high. He said first that I desire was to be on and to learn. And then I became Arlen.
And then he said, and then I decided to marry the daughter of the honey for Fatima. So, I married her
and then I decided to be a governor. So I, I got the Devi the governor of the city of Medina.
He said then I wish and I desired to be
the halifa the king, the ruler of Muslims.
He said that I got it.
Now look at the stars. on him. He became married fogged man father met he married Fatima to be a governor he became a governor to be a halifa he became a halifa he said but now my knifes desires Jana
desires. Jenna. So look at yourself. Look at this man. He took steps, practical steps. Now what do you need to do is always, always aim higher than your status. If you have only
high school diploma, say no. I want to get my college degree. If you have that say no, I want to go to university. If you have that you say no, I want to do my masters. If you have that you say no, I want my PhD. If you have that. You say wait a second, what else can I do?
There's always room for improvement. And the sky is the limit. But the only enemy that you have is you
the only limitation that you have as you no one else.
We have some one on one in my community.
We have a Chinese man who accepted Islam.
Chinese.
You know he doesn't speak Arabic.
He can't read Arabic. Arabic is not his language. He doesn't know much about Islam other than the basic principles of Islam and the fundamentals of Islam.
So he accepted Islam.
He came and he said Imam sigh
What else can I do?
What else can I do? I'm a new Muslim. I just embarrass Islam. What else can I do?
I said do the best that you can.
He comes back four months later.
Four months later,
he can read Arabic.
He can can't recite in Arabic. Not all perfect. You know, understandable. But he can conference he can talk to you. What do you do another habit? Elon hammer mo is that no, no, no.
No, you teach them his basics is a Yes, yes. I remember that. You know, but the idea is in four months, he was able to ask questions. And then he said are the same. In I'm sorry. They also memorize 15 songs.
I say some Hannah law. The kids our own kids who were born for Muslim fan. I see
juggling with Adam Terra caver founder robocopy as having feel you have 15 sora in five in four months he said yes, Allah me recited to you.
Now imagine Chinese brand new Muslim, who and hamdulillah he grew his beard is worrying isn't that a Koofi is though is not necessary. And he's reciting all on his reciting. And I didn't know what to do. Should I cry for my problems? Should I cry from the puddles of my own? Shall I cry for the situation? Should I correct that little mistakes and the Landon huffy? and Jenny that he has in his recitation? Should I feel proud and chest hugging? Should I say to him, listen, you putting us into shame, please go hide somewhere else. Should I hide the rest of the Muslim away from this man? What should I do?
in four months?
able to read write conversate and memorize Arabic about 15
and he said you did well. He said I'm afraid that I disappointed you imagine I wanted to do more.
And I looked at Muslims. And I said wait a second.
What are our kids doing? And I looked in my office and you know what our children are doing? No BB m in our BB m means
black berry messaging? I don't know if you have here and they just doing like this. Yeah funan did you do your Koran? Oh no. Yeah funan so the reason is because we did not aim high. But this is a small percentage of Muslims. I know the majority of you
are aiming high.
And when I say drive the best
because there are so like we wrote the best is camel was the best of the camels Don't say that. The camera of the messenger was from a welfare a camel or a camel a week camel that they got it from for my you know, I worked zoo. No. And by the way that Zoo Muslims came up with the zoo, the concept of Zoo we came up with a handle no credit for that against again.
Concentrate, focus. And may Allah subhanho wa Taala accept our effort. And may Allah subhanho wa Taala give us give us that insight light that encouraged us that enable us to do things for oma equity villa.
In conclusion.
I want to say this.
This oma

Present Islam with no shines with no shame, with no greed, and live Islam. And the last panel with Aldo Adam, which is our Kamala Harris panels of MySQL seven almost 700 idebenone
Jazakallah, Ferran Shaikh for this lightning talk.
We have a few questions from both the ends, the ladies and the gentlemen, we're going to
start. I'm going to start mentioning the questions to you, Chef. First question is, Can one touch?
read Quran without Voodoo?
And the second part of the question is, can a woman in her monthly cycle read Quran by memory touch or read a Quran?
smilla Rahmanir Rahim, this subject goes back to the subject, which is the origin of subject which is, is the heart necessary for touching the muscle.
And as a matter of law, stated there are different two different different opinions concerning the issue. The first of the opinion says that you cannot touch the most half
in the state or unless you're in the state of bahara.
And the other state that opinions opinion that yes, you can touch it because there's no evidence based on the Hadith and abuse of the law. It was said in the Hadees. Abu hurayrah. Do anyone in the Messenger of Allah Subhana Allah
Subhana Allah can a moment ever be impure?
And, of course and more but His Holiness, Allah subhanho wa Taala Teague in Lyon, Mr. Elon Mata Harun
in a nutshell not to prolong or confuse you. We will consider statement basing on the statement of hypnobirthing Rahim Allah if you have a Muslim with a cover that is permissible, but an elder and it's preferable for you to be in the state of blue for the sisters and during her menses or during that time of the month. There is no evidence is no prove that she cannot read the Koran. She cannot read the Koran, and the animosity emitted in the show if you do have at him. Man, as you know that a person who Allahu those who allow that she can read half of an ayah or part of an ayah. They have no evidence for that. And the correct opinion since there's no clear evidence on all the ahaadeeth that
has been reported concerning the issue is weak, is permissible, and there is no harm for her to read. Reading the report on
this next question is more like more of an Akita question.
I don't know. It's actually a question or statement, but somebody is saying that people say that, you know,
Allah does not have a gender but it is mentioned as who are he for Allah in the Quran, and some of the characteristics and qualities of Allah subhanaw taala have been mentioned, which are also characteristics like anger and happiness for humans. How do you reconsider that?
For the first part, see in Arabic, we have who were here,
only two terms can be used.
In English, we are he she and it's three different
words that you can you can use. Now when you can when you want to translate when the translators want to translate a law.
It cannot be it
and it cannot be she therefore they chose a word Who was he in English. And of course in Arabic, Allah soprano with Anna is not a female, nor he has a gender as we know, but it's more linguistic terminology that has been used in terms of the attributes of Allah subhanho wa Taala. As a movement as a movement in in Muslims, we believe whatever came from the book of the law is true and there's no doubt in and wherever it came from the sooner authentic sooner of the Messenger of Allah is true and there is no doubt in it. Therefore, when Allah subhanho wa Taala, a state have certain attributes, the attributes of smiling, the attributes of anger, the attributes of mercy, we said
yes, it is part of this is what Allah Subhana Allah said, and we accept, are these related to the anger we're human nor, or are they similar to the anger or the attributes of a human? The answer is no. However, Allah Subhana Allah said, Lisa committed he she, and this this none equivalent, or like Allah subhana wa Tada. But this is something other than how we interpret or understand the law.
All right, there's a question here, which is a common misconception in our societies about giving the Quran to non Muslims.
What is the ruling regarding this? How do we you know, present this to the non Muslims? And the other part of the question is how do we give Dawa to the non Muslims
giving them must have
based on the HTML
of this sign that we're relying on if the must have has two different language, English and the Arabic that this is cannot be called must have this is a translation of the parameters which have been designate what they mean again in others therefore, is it acceptable for you to give that to a non Muslim because in reality you're not giving the most have you giving a must have must have been part of that in hasm Allah He went to the level that even the actual must have, you can give it to a non Muslim because or a pseudo lines on the line was going to say hello, how do you have at that he wrote letters and in those letters he add is therefore a non Muslim can have part of the Koran
however correct opinion of this the Indian and soprano to Allah is if you have a Muslim, English and Arabic together, this is in the menu from the time of Tafseer of a Koran and it's not the actual it's like giving Tafseer in a cafe to someone. However, just to be on the safe side, if you have on that is all English better, why? Because the non Muslim may get my book the Quran in the bathroom, and of course they are the words of Allah subhanho wa Taala minus see how to their brothers and the sisters who who are handing out Koran is the non Muslim a lot of times especially the ones that we know, they very respectful in a sense that they will not disrespect something that you gave and if
you give them instruction and said Listen, you know be respectful to this book, we honor we respect them, please keep it out of you know impurity places and status and situation they usually do but again to be on the safe side, give them that little introduction. And if you cannot do this, I think it would be better if you give up on complete Hold on, how should we give down which is second part of the question.
A lot of people assume which is also good that by giving out some material, reading material, DVD or VHS or Kanye use of SS and this you know, it helps. Absolutely. That helps. Some others they say, you know we should have a booth and we should preach to the non Muslims and tell them about Islam, which is also okay. But this is
not the thing that I would say the best hour that you can give to a non Muslim is you living Islam.
Don't lie. Don't cheat. Don't be late. Don't cut corners. Don't you know play games be straight forward.
Just live Islam as simple as that. When a sister she's walking outside of her house. She's not she doesn't have a makeup. She's not smelling all Mashallah beautiful. She doesn't have her hair in a certain way. And Masha Allah, people will see you as a walking Ayah or art that is walking because she is an eye in that aspect. Now, when she lower her lower when she lowers her gaze, when she talks to men is straightforward and formal. People will say other women will say, Well, she demands respect. This era to this behavior demands respect. Therefore they will respect when they see you. When your neighbor sees you, Ramadan, you give them food, you give them drink, you help them out,
you clean your area, your house, the front of your house is clean, your house always clean you you're not loud, you don't play music, Pakistan or Indian or Somalia out of loud music. You just do this. Then again, they will say I want to know about this. Keep in mind, the only reason that our brothers, Malaysia and Indonesia accepted Islam. It's not through literature. It's not through lectures, it says through an AMA. It was just a behavior exchange. What impressed them was their behavior. So if you live Islam, you are perfect. Excellent. And that's why when I said I'll be a long distance ahead.
Anyway,
when I was asked about the whole of the messenger overlock caught kind of hold on. She said his manager was the Koran. And this is enough. What if you know
just the last question for tonight.
Someone is asking that Is it wrong to be content with the dunya and yet aim high for the akura
inhibition Allahu alayhi wa sallam.
He has his own and balances sylheti
YOLO mentality dunya Akbari Hemi gr Allahu Akbar beignet. farakka. Allah He shamed what am 30 minute dunia la makuti via Wi Fi while on 30 minute denier in dunya in
Nam, the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Who whosoever is concerned the most concern is his worldly life, that Allah subhana wa tada would place a poverty between his eyes. And this jr he would not gain from this dunya except which is that which is written, when one candidate after whosoever is desired an aim and ultimate goal is after is, then Allah Subhana. Without us he will place richness between his two eyes, and then his other Long He will send them were attacked with dunya where he Allahumma fury Why are you seen this Jr. Work come to him. And the denier is forced to be under his knee, knees or another narration means that jr would come to him desiring
him. So what I'm saying is that
you utilize whatever you have in this union, whether or not Siva community union, however you utilize it, and use it as me for I'll give you an example. Now,
if you're well off,
if you're well off, you have enough for your family and for yourself.
Now, what can you do, you can give us a car,
you can go to Africa, Asia and give down, you can support them. You can sponsor your team, you can sponsor a needy family. You can come here in Dubai and give our left hand right because now you're self sufficient with the left hand. But imagine if you have to work 12 hours for your daily living. Imagine if you have to do all this when you're going to give down and your income is hand to mouth. So what I'm saying is upgrade yourself. Now for the purpose of living, reclining on this dunya for the purpose of Ashura. If you are a doctor when he learned him and you have well income that comes well off income, you can give a lot of your time and do dour so what I'm trying to say use the means
for a law do not accumulate wealth and be like our own, but use it as a mean that it will make you from the people of gender How does it shadow the authorities Ayesha? When us when I've been out?
When counterfeit, how do you think after a man been out for the long run who came to the city of Medina, with a 1000 camel loaded with everything that a people need? businessman straight businessman, and then the whole city shook
the whole city and the people came out What is happening? They say caravan of Abdur Rahman bin out Chateau de La Hoya and has said, I heard the messenger of a law saying that after a man been offered intelligence crawling again, but how do you defeat him upon Addison
Hades has been Alomar spoke about the idea. Now,
the answer is that are smart enough to know when to eyeshadow the low honor. And he said Do you hear this from the Messenger of Allah? She said yes. He said by Allah, by law.
I'll make you my witness of everything that I have here is sort of coffee CBD law, one law out we'll try to interject not walking. So what I did was utilize what Allah bless him with to be in general. So that's what I'm trying to say here. Not to community community, I mean, accumulate accumulate wealth, and be like Otto, no, be like Abu Bakar mungbean out sad when Abby will cause you know, after a man when often others will love Allah. Allah.
There is a comment over here, please don't conclude yet. We want more please. But unfortunately Alhamdulillah every good thing has to come to an end. So we have to conclude the talk tonight. And the question answers just before we leave, we have one
brother who here who would like to come into Islam, he's ready over here. So we'd like him to come up on the stage and take the testimony of the faith with the share. inshallah just
just for the non Muslims who are watching this or being part of this,
you have to understand what the law in hand
by our brothers stating the kenema or the Shahada system one there's only one God on
worth the worth of worship the following follow thing the following thing happens one,
he becomes part of us, we love him. And we will love him like we love our own blood, biological brothers, to all of the sins forgiven. The Christianity we have or they have the original sin. In Islam you were born with no sin and by the time you return to Allah by stating that she had, you also become no sin and send us and that's what we call them revert not convert. Now, the second the third thing that happens is his life change on becomes better person. So I would encourage all the non Muslims just to reflect on that a May Allah guide us all. Now he will say after me. What's your good name? Jane, say my name say nice meeting.
Jenny gonna repeat the statement of your life and this is the turn of your life. A new beginning new light. So you say a shadow, a shadow and La La Ilaha Illa Illa Illa ma la wash had acid and Mohammed Mohammed Rasul, Rasul Allah, Allah Congratulation, Mia.
Just a word of wisdom.
When you welcome your Muslim brother,
let him see the beauty of Islam.
Let him see that we are warm people. Let him see the care that Islam teach. Let him see the beauty of being a Muslim. Not a person that we just hug him on the stage and he drops down and that's it. But let him be a member of the family. Allah Allah Allah. Masako.
