Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah while he was such a big Marine, a Mobarak Rakesh roughly Sadri westerly Emery or who looked at me Lisa any of our colony, we begin in the name of Allah subhana wa Tada and we request praises and blessings upon Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

00:00:21--> 00:00:53

Again we also make dua and ask ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada to accept from us combat Allah Mina Amin consolidate Ahmed May Allah subhana wa Tada accept our deeds, I mean, except in other initiation of the night worship, I mean, and I say initiation you know why? Because, as we always remind each other this is just the start of life. The night is still young, as they say, there's still a lot more quote unquote partying to do. Halloween, partying, building gender, fighting, isn't it

00:00:54--> 00:01:16

and engaging Allah subhanho wa Taala in worship, no doubt is not fighting but you understand the pan, you understand the play on words that I am using here, we ask Allah to accept it from us, we ask Allah to accept what has passed and to bless what remains, I mean, they are a brand I mean, and I welcome you all to yet another

00:01:17--> 00:01:24

episode in our nightly urban series Surah Yusuf in the 21st century.

00:01:25--> 00:01:32

You know, I like to remind everybody at the start that this is very tough C. difficile. Program.

00:01:34--> 00:01:35

Enable manual heartedly,

00:01:37--> 00:01:57

when we see it as a specific definition, but what we are doing is pondering we are reflecting over the verses and understanding how these verses can benefit us in the 21st century. No doubt the Quran has information that has knowledge that is timeless, that is timeless, him the lack of bigamy. Yesterday, we

00:01:59--> 00:02:07

stopped at the point Subhanallah where a transition would take place. In the life of use of vinyl, he said

00:02:09--> 00:02:17

it's not the first transition. The first transition happened when his brothers abducted him from his home. He had a life of ease. He had a life,

00:02:19--> 00:02:43

of building gender through being thankful to Allah subhana, WA Tirana, he had his father's love. He had his he had his home, he had his brother, and he had the family environment. But then a transition happened where his life shifted from a life whereby we build Jana through being thankful to Allah to a life whereby we will Jana, through being patient,

00:02:44--> 00:02:45

being patient.

00:02:46--> 00:02:49

And that's what happened after he was abducted

00:02:50--> 00:03:09

by his brothers from his home. And then he went through trial after trial trial after trial test after test Subhanallah and each trial Subhan Allah made the previous trials seem insignificant. Okay, it's a bit of an exaggeration, but Subhanallah when you are drowning in trial, subhanAllah

00:03:10--> 00:03:32

you can't separate between the good and the trees, as they say, right? I mean, when you drowning in trials, and you feel like the walls are closing in every trial that strikes you makes the last trial seem makes the last trial seem inferior Subhanallah because you are you haven't recovered from the impact of the last trial that you're dealing with the impact of a new trial. So it's always

00:03:34--> 00:03:41

it's always the test compounded, which means you need to have compounded patients as well. And use has been going through this but Subhanallah

00:03:43--> 00:04:17

like we've said time and time again, and we've taken several citations, we have still not had any there were several citations, from the stories of Pamela, of how benevolent use of was in terms of his character in terms of his faith in terms of his mindset in terms of his soul set, and Subhanallah how he managed himself patiently building gender patiently throughout the years of trial now things are going to change. Now there's a shift to Pamela. For those who read the story in earnest you feel like Subhan Allah finally a time has come where you can

00:04:18--> 00:04:59

breathe. It's as if you living the life of use of through the verses of Surah Yusuf and you feeling the anxiety and you feeling the trepidation and you feeling the environment you feeling the circumstances you feeling this situations and you yourself without realizing if you if you're really living the story Subhanallah you are living with a form of stress. And then all of a sudden, you come to the point of the story where Allah says we'll call and Melaka to Naevi okay, this isn't this happened before remember? Remember, just a few verses before the king said we're calling meaning ALLAH says that the king said

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

Call and Malik 20 be remember who did the king say that to, to the messenger said that to his employee, the one who is working for him in the palace. And at that time remember we said you said I'm not coming out I'm staying in until my innocence is proved. And we spoke about a cybernetic theory or theory when you when you patient when you have to be patient, and you patient when you meaning and you be patient, as a result of your own choosing. And that's from the completeness of his character. Now it's Wacol Maliko to levy a stimulus will NFC,

00:05:35--> 00:05:37

select the first time bring him to me.

00:05:38--> 00:05:55

And we'll see right now it's bringing him to me, and I will employ him as part of my inner circle myself. No was no middleman. There's no middle person here. The King is saying directly I will employ him directly.

00:05:58--> 00:06:09

And you have to understand this Brothers and Sisters in Islam, we're talking about someone who was Mameluke he was owned. And now Subhan Allah he is going to becoming like a manic, he's going to Oh,

00:06:10--> 00:06:54

when you are personally in the capacity of the king, you own things, you become a decision maker. All this time, he didn't make decisions. He had to jump to the decisions of other people. He had to jump to the tune of other people. Now he will create his own tune and we will see this you will see Subhanallah how we create is one tool meaning you create his own circumstances and situations he's been given the ability to do so you will see this when his brothers come and what he does by putting the merchandise back all this is from any the actions of use of of course with the permission of Allah. Allah subhana wa Tada ultimately, is in control and Allah subhanho wa Taala does say that

00:06:54--> 00:07:19

Catolica kidnapped us. That is Allah subhanho wa Taala who put the whole plan together for use of either Instagram, but YouTube is enacting it getting the merchandise put conspicuously into the into the belongings, then when they come back, getting the goblet of the King placed into the merchandise of Binyomin so you can keep Binyamin. Now he is made he is enacting events before

00:07:20--> 00:08:03

connotated. UK. I mean he's locked in the room with a lock until Ebola is brought into the room the doors are locked. Then when he passed that test, and the women of the city came any work on it. What did she say to him? Generally him right enter upon these women. Remember that. So up to now since he left the home of his father instructions are being given to him. And all of a sudden, he's going to be giving the instructions up to now he was owned. And now he's the owner. Up till now he was stateless resident plus citizen list country lists. Now you can say is an Egyptian?

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

Or is it Egyptian?

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

Depending on which accent you use,

00:08:11--> 00:08:21

he's Egyptian meaning his he's got an authority in the land. Allah has established him in the land and Allah subhanahu wa taala says, What can barely come back? Can you tell us we'll come to that.

00:08:22--> 00:08:40

So this is where we act SubhanAllah. So you have to feel that this is a phase of the story where we can breathe Subhanallah that there's two people on trialing this more than two people. Even the brothers of users are on trials on Allah, they are patient as well because the father is not happy with them.

00:08:41--> 00:08:47

And they live in all these decades hearing their father pining over use of you have to also imagine they're going through a test

00:08:48--> 00:09:23

for what they did. They also went through a test sometimes you do something and then the person you harm he doesn't get over it. Subhanallah but he doesn't get over it what happens? It becomes better I think you thought we just do this and after this. Any we will be common SILOKING we will be good people with the coulomb embody common remember at the beginning of the story, they said this just do it and we'll be good people Subhanallah How long could you have been Shavon made you do so much so much more after and he made you do so much more before and then you add this long lasting sadness of your father.

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

He hasn't stopped thinking about Yusuf he hasn't stopped praying for you. So

00:09:30--> 00:09:34

he hasn't stopped complaining to Allah about the pain that he feels for the loss of useful

00:09:35--> 00:09:57

in them ash Kuba, Theo's Nila Allah we will see this. In his old age we're talking decades later we speaking about the decades of trials of use of Don't forget there's a father back home, who's also going through decades of trials. And conserving conservative we always say conservatively, conservatively, conservatively at this point, how old is useless? Well, meaning how many years says

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

Since the abduction,

00:10:02--> 00:10:06

say around 40 years, if we say he was around seven Allah who,

00:10:07--> 00:10:30

when he was abducted, and then at 14, he was put through the trial with the minister with the minister's wife. If we say that trial happened in the in close proximity to each other, and he was thrown into prison for better acini say around seven years, if we use this sort of an average will produce a violent Islam at 47 years old, 47 years of age, which means 40 years of trends, and

00:10:31--> 00:10:36

the Father is also going to 40s I'm trans but one of the two people now Subhanallah

00:10:37--> 00:10:44

will be use of it. He said his father is still in a trial, because he doesn't know about use of OB still in his truck.

00:10:46--> 00:11:02

So appreciate the circumstance here. Appreciate the situation here. Subhanallah how Allah subhanho wa Taala looks after those who are sincere with Allah, those who Allah chooses. Those who Allah chooses mankind and luckily samsara miraculous and that Hulu

00:11:04--> 00:11:31

and whoever is sincere what Allah you live for Allah you speak for Allah you remain silent for Allah you do for Allah you don't do for by your life is about Allah. And you think that you will people will say you are going backwards and backwards and backwards and backwards because of your mandate. Allah subhanho wa Taala is teaching us here. No, no, no. People think you're going backwards. But you're going forward because Allah will fast forward you from prison to the kings in Osaka, the ilaha illa.

00:11:33--> 00:11:41

From people who are pushing you back and pushing you back making you homeless, then making you stateless than making you freelance then making you

00:11:42--> 00:11:48

meaning your honor now is at stake Honorless to an extent thrown into jail, and then fast track from jail.

00:11:50--> 00:11:59

To the royal court of the king, any house and Malik from the most inner members of the King circle.

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

A stuckness. Will NFC. Forget about the HR department. We don't need HR. This is a executive decision from the King. Yeah, Annie What did they say? Manasu Maliki monsoon Maliki This is direct from the king. He's I want to hire him myself. No was here no minister? No. Mr. Shah, no adviser, nothing. From the jail straight day. Allah if this doesn't teach us in this day and age, My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Islam to always do the right thing, do the right thing. Whatever happens in your life, do what is right. People will tell you Allah your silence is a sign of weakness. But as long as you know why you silence This is the most powerful thing that can emanate from you.

00:12:44--> 00:12:50

Some people can say don't speak but as long as you know why you speaking this is the most powerful thing that can emanate from you.

00:12:51--> 00:13:03

That you speak for the sake of Allah and you remain silent for the sake of Allah, you build your life to the extent that you can make it a work. You know, the work is an endowment. Nothing has ownership of your life except on

00:13:06--> 00:13:14

a walk when you make something up, meaning you take some property like this building here, and you say it's our what does it mean?

00:13:16--> 00:13:37

It means no one has ownership of it besides Allah, you've given ownership of it to Allah, it can be inherited, it can be sold is belongs to Allah and all the goodness that comes from it becomes your reward because you have made this work for you have made this property you've given it to Allah subhana wa Exactly. Make your life so much with it. That no one has control of you except

00:13:39--> 00:13:43

you can't be inherited. You can't be bought, you can't be sold.

00:13:44--> 00:13:52

No one can walk into your mind freely as they want when they want how they want. No, because you are owned by Allah subhanho wa taala.

00:13:57--> 00:14:17

You live your life sincerely and that is your deal. Up till now. This is all useless Isilon has been doing every step of the way. He was silent for the sake of Allah. When they took him out of the well, he was saying, his father told him this is Allah's plan. Larissa asked, maybe he wanted to speak as a human being when they sold him as a slave didn't necessary skills.

00:14:18--> 00:14:24

When she locked him in the room and called him to her the labs ethical for Allah sake he spoke.

00:14:25--> 00:14:26

But Allah

00:14:28--> 00:14:33

when the minister found them in the room, and she said what she said to try and implicate him the love he spoke.

00:14:35--> 00:14:35

Here our destiny

00:14:37--> 00:14:44

she's the one who called me to her. When he was in the prison and the two inmates came to him Lila he spoke for the sake of Allah He spoke

00:14:45--> 00:14:59

to me he said the food don't come except that before it comes I will tell you your dream and we discussed the whole day our masterclass in two episodes from the front from uses episode in the prison. Do you get the policy? Yeah. Do you get the point here?

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

When the king said, call him to me Lilla he said no.

00:15:07--> 00:15:08

He said no.

00:15:10--> 00:15:14

What did he say? Integer in Arabic first and Huma Abedin this was the letter

00:15:16--> 00:15:18

for the sake of Allah He said I'm not coming out.

00:15:19--> 00:15:23

I mean, come on guys. years of incarceration

00:15:24--> 00:15:33

years of trial years years years no one knows about you and finally you getting a chance to have an audience with the King of the land, not his was even the king of the land.

00:15:35--> 00:15:44

Who would leave this opportunity you are in prison, you have no guarantee that you will get the opportunity the king is saying come to me you have a chance to come and present your case and you say no.

00:15:48--> 00:15:49

And Abdullah

00:15:50--> 00:16:14

I will do the right thing, even if it doesn't make sense to everybody let's be honest. If we were in Allah protect us. We don't go to prison and we don't visit prisons, Allah save us. But the point is, that if you are in a circumstances situation my brother and sustain is now wherever you are, Mr. Shah to us if at that moment, and the messenger came from the king's palace, and he said use of the king is calling you to the palace

00:16:15--> 00:16:18

executively has given you a Get Out of Jail Free card

00:16:20--> 00:16:26

to come to the palace to discuss your matter. Let's be honest Brothers and Sisters in Islam

00:16:27--> 00:16:32

if we were advisors to use of it salaam at the time, if we were there what would we say to him

00:16:35--> 00:16:36

in that

00:16:40--> 00:16:40

let's

00:16:41--> 00:16:46

get out of here go what are you doing? I mean my

00:16:48--> 00:16:51

only decided I don't know maybe he has some Ilham we don't have

00:16:52--> 00:16:54

years of inspirations we don't

00:16:56--> 00:17:12

we didn't you just tell you go yeah, you take the opportunity. You will find every muscle to justify it. Like in Subhan Allah many KU medical book is king is the King of Kings Allah subhanho wa and his honor

00:17:14--> 00:17:29

is something that he knows My Lord has taught me is everything there is no honor when people don't trust your now there is no honor when people don't trust your honor. What is the point of being near the close to the king and people say this person is is hurting he's he's deceitful

00:17:33--> 00:17:56

This is Ultimate. So I want you to appreciate the character use of Allah he Salam and yeah, I know we're taking time on it but we need to go deeper because we live these realities daily Brothers and Sisters in Islam in in our own capacities in our projects in our workspaces. In our WhatsApp group. Sorry, I bring it back to the WhatsApp groups because Subhanallah the pettiness in the WhatsApp groups Allah one mistake. We see it

00:18:00--> 00:18:07

when he went to try I told them something about how people leave WhatsApp groups when you upset them when you make them upset.

00:18:08--> 00:18:16

They leave so I said at the beginning of Ramadan, someone needed to get his WhatsApp stickers they put it in the group at the beginning of Ramadan there was these stickers coming into groups Chapin

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

Shepherd left the group

00:18:23--> 00:18:25

you missed that one. I just for you we repeated

00:18:27--> 00:18:35

our brother money and mashallah we love him for the sake of Allah. Allah give him Shiva, give him cure and raise his ranks.

00:18:38--> 00:18:43

Want us to make dua for you also, we will don't have to cough that hard having me I'll also give you a

00:18:45--> 00:18:45

young man.

00:18:48--> 00:19:06

We go through these in our daily lives. And the question is how do we react? How do we react and I want you to focus on this reaction. Because Subhanallah you will see a theme throughout up till now when Yusuf is in a state of weakness, whatever what have we been hearing in Iraq, meaning my CV

00:19:08--> 00:19:22

and the anthem look like in our comparison, you owned but we always see you doing good. Very soon you will see use of in a state of power and his brothers come to him and his brothers will say to him in that scene, they don't know you.

00:19:25--> 00:19:26

Because

00:19:27--> 00:19:59

this is our this is this is the kingdom of Allah, this is the height of character. When you have weakness, you are the same. And when you have ultimate power, you are the same. That when you were a slave people said we see you Marcin, we see you a person who is excellent. And when you have all the power and you have you know, people working for you and you have a palace and you have servants and you have and you have and then they come in people come to you and say in America, I've seen him and guess what the same people will haunt you 4050 years before. What does this tell you about?

00:20:00--> 00:20:11

The character of use of it, he said, I know I'm fast forwarding, I couldn't help myself. I wanted to hold that verse to when we got me. But Subhanallah and the very first time I did, I had to Jimmy that Baraka Subhan Allah

00:20:12--> 00:20:14

had been higher a believer,

00:20:16--> 00:20:33

you become weak in front of this beautiful verses and these amazing meanings and this, this phenomenal history Syrah of the life of use of the eyes of Allah, I feel my weaknesses. When I look into the life of use of light, I see the gaps that I need to fill.

00:20:34--> 00:20:35

I see the

00:20:37--> 00:20:39

the places that I need to improve

00:20:40--> 00:20:41

upon Allah, you see it

00:20:43--> 00:20:50

in our lives, how many people can without fail, say marketing, marketing, marketing, the furthest from us and the closest twice to ask ourselves that

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

this man was put through the grind. Allah here we go through tests, but

00:20:58--> 00:21:00

four to five decades of tests.

00:21:01--> 00:21:17

And his description is the same throughout. You can only do this my brother and sustain Islam. He wasn't an angel. He was a human being. I know the women of the city said, What did they say? Maha Bashara. He's not a human being no, he was a human being. But you can only do this when you make Allah on your life.

00:21:18--> 00:21:22

When nothing matters to you, except what ALLAH thinks of you.

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

When nothing matters to you, except what Allah knows of you.

00:21:30--> 00:21:37

This is when you can reach these levels in character. And we all have room for improvement, the person speaking to you first and foremost.

00:21:38--> 00:21:46

And you have to remember, when you give your life to Allah, like use of has use of sees himself as someone who

00:21:47--> 00:21:48

if he speaks,

00:21:50--> 00:22:05

then he's making Allah He has something. And if he acts, then he's making Allah see something. And if he thinks that he's making Allah know something of him, Allah already knows when we're talking about manifesting knowledge now meaning the knowledge that becomes Allah now.

00:22:06--> 00:22:45

That Allah allowed us to become a parent after being hidden. Obviously, Allah knows everything before it happens because he knows our lives before we lifted. But you understand the point, when we act, we making Allah see us our action. When we speak, he's hearing our speech. When you live for Allah, you don't want to make a world see something you're not happy for him to see. You don't want Allah to hear something you're not happy for him to hear. You don't want Allah to know something of you. You're not happy for Allah to know that thing of you. You get it. It's like a child, when he's innocent, or she's innocent, and she wants to have her parents only love her or love him. You

00:22:45--> 00:23:03

selective with what you make your parents see what you do with your friends you don't do with your parents, and you hope that your friends don't have your parents. And when your friends tell your parents you become upset with your friends, not because you did it, but because they sold you out as they say, they sold you abuse you and you sold me out, you exposed me.

00:23:04--> 00:23:30

So when you make your life online, it becomes like this. And this is useful. He is static in his character. Because before he speaks, he thinks is this beloved to Allah? If it is outside? If it's not I believe it before he acts he thinks is this action, beloved to Allah, if it is up to it, if it isn't a refrain before he thinks he thinks these are the sorts of beloved to Allah, if it is our progress, my thoughts. If it's not i Oh,

00:23:32--> 00:23:42

we need to build our lives to this level. My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Islam. This is that ilaha illa This is the reality of Tawheed This is the reality or to heathen.

00:23:43--> 00:23:54

It talks about believing what Allah in practice this belief in what Allah entails this, I can't lie I'm searching for once I can't say better than this make your life and endowment a work give it to Allah.

00:23:56--> 00:23:57

In any case,

00:24:00--> 00:24:03

Yusuf alayhi salam now, his honor has been

00:24:05--> 00:24:26

not only made intact but perfected. Why the people who are responsible for his incarceration for his Janey. They were the ones who bore witness that he's totally innocent. Then it was them who was at fault. And the minister's wife herself said that the house was unhappy now. Everything's come out an hour too and she is

00:24:27--> 00:24:30

spilling the beans as they say. Confessing

00:24:31--> 00:24:38

the King comes and says to us rather He said meaning the king asks for use of presence. So that so you can employ use of

00:24:39--> 00:24:58

Allah subhanho wa Taala says we'll have the middle and beloved Subhanallah Subhanallah that's why I said the Quranic stories. You can match them every word, every verse, this this is a madrasa. Allah didn't say when the king saw use of when the king led about use of CV

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

Allah says philam Can lemahieu

00:25:04--> 00:25:15

Furama Kalama when the King spoke to us of when the king engaged us of the conversation, Carla in Nikoli yo Mala Dana Makino

00:25:16--> 00:25:19

that from now from now

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

you have a safe establishment in this land

00:25:28--> 00:25:31

all collude will lifted

00:25:32--> 00:25:33

what's good

00:25:36--> 00:25:37

all the hindrances were lifted.

00:25:40--> 00:25:45

Slavery lifted, only lifted, jail time expunged,

00:25:46--> 00:25:52

fingerprints deleted. Think of it like this. Records shredded

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

no one is allowed to even say we met you in the prison illegal.

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

Someone says you will be punished. This is the level of McKean

00:26:07--> 00:26:08

brought to this man

00:26:09--> 00:26:11

yesterday in the prison today.

00:26:13--> 00:26:14

You if you touch

00:26:16--> 00:26:17

Subhan Allah

00:26:18--> 00:26:22

when Allah opens upon you Allah He My dear brother and sister in Islam

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

it's an opening like no other

00:26:27--> 00:26:32

and they say for Allah hulak That is a powerful door. We are open for you my brother.

00:26:33--> 00:26:58

When Allah opens for you, that is an opening that cannot be matched cannot be matched use of Allah He said Allah passwords everything like he also Pamela you can see how it's moving even seven years in prison you don't think it's seven years but it's moving. Use of adhesive me immediately says it's your only alpha analog. This is the talking point. Yusuf says place me in charge of the storage houses.

00:26:59--> 00:27:23

Now remember something let's go back. Why is use of here because of his character. Why? When the messengers when the when the king's messenger went to him that is the same messenger that use of Allah he Salam said to him when you go and work for the king tell him when xx misc and he shocks me skin sharks yeah and the mashallah Tabata kala precision there's a person in jail His name is Yusuf

00:27:25--> 00:27:36

just look into his matter remember that you remember that use of us this person who he knew would be freed for assistance remember? Okay, this person for what right?

00:27:37--> 00:27:47

When this person after so long comes back we talking about years later comes back to use of RAM and mentions the dream of the king. Use of interprets the dream.

00:27:48--> 00:28:08

Amazing character. We spoke about this. If you didn't watch it, go back. Many people are saying she has what's your YouTube channels name? Allah He if you don't know my name, this is Mo Siva. I'm gonna say no, my name because I'm important. But Subhanallah How can you be sitting here with me night after night and you don't know many? Much of Mathematica. Adam Kidman looks with that. I mean, maybe this is better for

00:28:09--> 00:28:29

mashallah Hamdulillah. So if you search on YouTube Sajid on YouTube, and then that when the results come up, you have to look for the actual YouTube page because other people have my videos on the pages. So you'll see other people's pages come up, if you scroll a little bit down, you will see it. I don't have this on here, the blue ticks and all these things mileage, sorry, I don't have all that.

00:28:31--> 00:28:35

All those benefits, so you won't see it at the top, you have to send it out. Once you there.

00:28:37--> 00:28:49

One of my students said share your to tell them, subscribe, and then click the bell. The notifications for I'm just giving them my name. I told them I will let you know subscribe, and then the bell for the notifications.

00:28:51--> 00:29:32

You have to go back to that lesson. But remember, we said not only did use of alayhis salaam interpret the dream, but use of offered the solutions for the king. This is what made the king amazed by use of that I sent to him to get me a translation for this dream and interpretation apologies for this dream. If the interpretation King, I could have discussed with my inner circle with my advisors, what do they think about it? But Subhanallah this messenger of mine came back with the interpretation and the solution. Remember, and what did you say in the in the in the solution that you're going to have seven years over info, you're gonna have to plant and you're going to have

00:29:32--> 00:29:46

to protect your harvest. And you're going to have to keep a portion for eating during the seven years, but you're gonna have to save a portion for eating during the years of drought. And then there'll be seven years of drought. And then after seven years of drought, there'll be seven years of rainfall again, Lisa,

00:29:47--> 00:29:59

I have a question for you. How did use of SLM know that after seven years of drought will be seven years of rainfall. Remember the dream of taking seven fat cows healthy cows being

00:30:00--> 00:30:17

consumed by seven filters, seven healthy stems of crop green, fresh, healthy, strong looking crops being consumed by seven stale, Dry Brown wilted crops this is all working for

00:30:19--> 00:30:35

you when did you sort of get the idea that after the seven years of drought there'll be seven years meaning there'll be years of of ease and failure and rainfall and goodness and benevolence and so on and so forth. Now, I'm looking for why

00:30:36--> 00:30:41

I'm looking for one clever person and we need is going to give you a prize inshallah. Now,

00:30:42--> 00:31:09

we will give you a prize, what should the price be? If we had a quarter course we'd say free ticket to a next quarter course? Maybe there'll be one inshallah. But we don't want any horror and we don't want any unfair around so because we haven't announced the course it has to be something tangible Yeah. When you buy believe the price was money I put the oven on Munir insha Allah He has the shoulders for my for the troubles I give him water Allah who? Who has the answer to this

00:31:12--> 00:31:22

conflict of interest if you are the prize, given the answer to the question, so let's give other people a chance, Elijah. Don't Don't shake your head think.

00:31:24--> 00:31:34

And contemplate, try not know if you mentioned this earlier. There's no problem we are in Knowledge Circle. There's no issue if you make a mistake. That's why I'm here to correct any mistakes if they are.

00:31:40--> 00:31:43

How come? I didn't tell him anything about this?

00:31:45--> 00:31:57

Didn't give him details about this. How did you sort of extract from the dream that after the seven years of drought or famine, there will be seven there will be yours that is will return to them, it will be years of ease.

00:32:01--> 00:32:12

Allah Allah gave him why he mashallah, this is one of the interpretations of Tafseer. This is one of the answers of this Congress that Allah gave him. He was a prophet, Allah and it gave him washing.

00:32:13--> 00:32:21

Mashallah, on tests, there's another interpretation that the scholars have. There's another explanation, rather, that the scholars have.

00:32:24--> 00:32:27

Think, who has an idea? Yes, he has a career.

00:32:30--> 00:32:47

Who has given the ability to interpret dreams but there's no symbol in this dreams about the ease, the symbols in the dreams are connected to years of goodness being consumed by years of drops? Where do we have from the dream, years of drought being consumed by years of goodness?

00:32:51--> 00:32:52

The suggestion that

00:32:54--> 00:32:56

they say this, and

00:32:58--> 00:33:00

they say this is

00:33:03--> 00:33:09

the years of goodness, we're talking that after the years of drought, maybe there'll be years of drought, but the years of drought will come to an end

00:33:13--> 00:33:16

you have the answer, isn't it? Almost almost.

00:33:17--> 00:33:22

Seven, seven, and then after that, it's gonna pretend to have a voice

00:33:23--> 00:33:26

lesson has to be like that. Because

00:33:27--> 00:33:32

it will return to how he was saying it's coming back again. I was things I saw in

00:33:34--> 00:33:37

my shop, how will you give yourself the price

00:33:42--> 00:33:43

everyone has to give me a price now.

00:33:46--> 00:33:47

My Schelotto article now

00:33:48--> 00:33:59

the scholars have to say that this was from his knowledge of the shape of history and it's also part of our Sharia and in the Bible so useful.

00:34:03--> 00:34:05

After difficulty comes ease.

00:34:07--> 00:34:13

And also like William said, having the luxury when you he said seven years of drought theme seven years I've taught Benoit

00:34:15--> 00:34:21

then will have meaning there's, there's a limit, there's a boundary after seven years the situation will change.

00:34:22--> 00:34:33

If it's going to change, what will you change to? It's already difficult it will change to to ease now. Okay, I thought I make it a bit more interactive today.

00:34:35--> 00:34:38

Use of Alayhis Salam, obviously he came up with the solution.

00:34:40--> 00:34:52

And he knows the complexity. He understands the intensity, that Subhanallah in front of us is not just a trial for us, in front of us is a trial for an ummah

00:34:54--> 00:34:55

for Egypt

00:34:56--> 00:34:58

that if this

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

Matter is not managed, well.

00:35:03--> 00:35:07

Countless people are going to die, seven years of famine, countless people are going to die.

00:35:09--> 00:35:18

So you have other incidences in Germany, and others that have made me in charge of the storage houses meeting make me in charge of the finances make me in charge of this, this whole protocol here.

00:35:20--> 00:35:23

Now, there's a question that is raised here.

00:35:25--> 00:35:27

Are we allowed to put ourselves forward?

00:35:29--> 00:35:32

For these monastic for these high offices,

00:35:33--> 00:35:39

we put yourself forward and you you campaign for your time you say, vote me in and put me in.

00:35:40--> 00:35:44

We know that from the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is

00:35:45--> 00:36:07

is discouragement from this discouragement from us. However, that's a general rule, there's a there's an exception to it. And that exception to it is when you know that if you don't assume that seat, that seat has to be filled, and someone else with lesser knowledge will take it and when they take it, the harm will be

00:36:09--> 00:36:12

it will be it will be inclusive, it will it will be widespread.

00:36:16--> 00:36:18

And when I was training as a judge

00:36:20--> 00:36:35

in Serbia, many students they were judges around me, they had this meaning it's natural, you feel that you feel the seat. So people try to find ways to get out of it. And generally, it's not easy once you select it, then

00:36:36--> 00:36:51

it's your journey unless in the Mirage Mala, except if Allah opens for you away whereby from a higher office you get an exception and they take you out of the process. So a lot of them would say even to me that Allah is you excited, you are so fortunate you studying this mashallah unique

00:36:52--> 00:36:57

and going through this unique training, but you won't have to do this job.

00:36:58--> 00:37:20

You don't have to sit from you know, five, six hours a day listening to miraculousness listen to people's problems. That's what that's how it is, but they don't know Subhanallah when I told them if if I show you my email you will see much accuracy problems. I have opened my social media you will see problems I opened my whatsapp I show you problems Yanni. We already dealing with problems hon Allah we Allah is the affairs of them.

00:37:22--> 00:37:26

But some of the teachers some of the teachers were judges who would come to train us

00:37:27--> 00:37:29

they would say this point there's no

00:37:30--> 00:37:31

need to GMR

00:37:32--> 00:37:36

and accuracy level to a Yanni.

00:37:38--> 00:37:46

Yanni, this chair, meaning the chair of the judge, Yanni Lyon, because it doesn't stay without someone sitting sitting on it.

00:37:48--> 00:37:50

If you don't sit on it, someone else is gonna survive.

00:37:51--> 00:37:55

If you don't sit on it, someone else is gonna say it's not that you didn't sit so no one's going to sit

00:37:57--> 00:37:59

and allow you not left empty.

00:38:01--> 00:38:30

So if you know that you have the character, you have the knowledge, you have the responsibility for that seat, that is 10, beloved attaches, seek assistance and don't D capacitate. yourself, assume the responsibility for intimate lover. That's the reality you will be you are you've been deployed by Allah, Allah has deployed you to one of the entrances to which the enemy can attack is made you a soldier and you have to assume it.

00:38:31--> 00:38:32

This is use of

00:38:33--> 00:38:39

circumstance in the knowledge of use, looking at the circumstances around them, the reality is around him.

00:38:40--> 00:38:48

He is the most suitable for this job. And subhanAllah he pitches it to the king. He says to the king in the happy zone and

00:38:49--> 00:39:09

he's telling the king that you need not only did I interpret your dream, not only did I tell you how to remember there was details in the dream, when you harvest the crop, where should you leave? Where should you leave the seed leave it in the STEM in its original covering, he's giving him details the farm Celia is giving him details, the first scene meaning details.

00:39:11--> 00:39:23

Now he's telling the king and I'm also telling you the person who needs to manage this portfolio, he needs to be heavy than it needs to be ideal. He needs to be knowledgeable and he needs to be responsible, trustworthy.

00:39:25--> 00:39:51

It's not enough that he knows but he's not trustworthy. And it's not enough that he's trustworthy, and he doesn't know you need to hire someone for this role who is knowledgeable and trustworthy and people at different levels when it comes to trust. You need someone at the highest level of trust, who can put everyone before himself put a master highly before unless the hell has. He will put the master had the benefit of the majority of the masses before his own benefit.

00:39:53--> 00:39:58

This is what you need for this rope because there's no luxury for mistakes. There's no room for mistakes here.

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

This is a roll that needs excellence in execution. Now Subhanallah Do you see use of it? He said, I'm saying is your agony I left out for in the Navy? Even maybe even maybe even Nebby? Do you see him saying this, that make me in charge of the storage houses? Because I'm a prophet, the son of a prophet, the son of a prophet, the son of a prophet? Does he come with the whole?

00:40:25--> 00:40:26

Lineage? Deal?

00:40:28--> 00:40:29

No.

00:40:30--> 00:40:35

I mean, let's be honest. If there was anyone applying for a job,

00:40:36--> 00:40:38

and he could use the linkage deal.

00:40:39--> 00:40:41

Who can you find better than use?

00:40:44--> 00:41:25

Any profits son of a prophet, who was the son of a prophet? My father is a prophet. My grandfather is a prophet. My great grandfather is a prophet. And guess what my great grandfather was Abraham nejsou ah, Rahim Allah. Allah chose all of them. So that's why this is my CV. He doesn't mention anything. He doesn't like we said yesterday about the other day. Does anyone know who you serve is does the king know who and EBI EBI, EBI, EBI, EBI, Burnaby, king doesn't know anything, all the key noses who are can fighter, there was he, he was, he was the slave point of the minister. That's all the king knows. And he was a person who was jailed that's what the king knows

00:41:28--> 00:41:31

the use of he's not throwing you know what they call fluff.

00:41:32--> 00:41:49

They call it a fluff distro fluff out there. Hire me help people like the CVS. I am a beyond this, I'm the most say about this about yourself and I shall buy any a you think to yourself, I'm Allah. Anyways, this person, even a blind in the first place. This person should ever be jobless with a CV like this in the description.

00:41:54--> 00:42:05

I have myself motivated, being who is very social, and loves to network and only sleeps less than four hours a day.

00:42:06--> 00:42:27

hamdulillah if it's true level, it's no problem. No problem if it's true, we spoke about personality traits. We won't repeat that. But you can go back to those sessions. Use of an Instagram is the real deal. It's not your show. He's a character. He's not saying hi to me because of my personality. He's saying hire me because you need someone who is heavy, trustworthy, responsible and,

00:42:28--> 00:42:37

and SubhanAllah. Even today, My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Islam. When it comes to Islam and learning about Islam, we always say you need teachers. But you know what, you don't just need a teacher.

00:42:38--> 00:43:03

You need a teacher who is heavy on it. You need a teacher who is really knowledgeable of the Sharia, and a teacher who is responsible, not just knowledgeable but responsible. This is so important. Because how many people studied the religion into people astray. And how many people studied the religion and through the study of religion. They misrepresented the dean and they created all sorts of fetal.

00:43:04--> 00:43:06

They're not responsible with their knowledge

00:43:07--> 00:43:16

that use Facebook to discuss and YouTube to discuss matters that should be discussed in closed circles between scholars. They discuss it with the masses of the ummah.

00:43:17--> 00:43:19

See, where are you living brother?

00:43:20--> 00:43:21

In a book in a bubble,

00:43:23--> 00:43:24

where's your responsibility?

00:43:27--> 00:43:32

And then there's a difference that and I've said this before, there's a difference between information and knowledge.

00:43:34--> 00:43:37

When you process information, it becomes knowledge.

00:43:38--> 00:43:53

You can't let the superior and have a lot of info when people show you know there are some people that's and you see these people, these people who don't use the right platforms to discuss things, all the good voice is throwing at you information showing you how well rather they are

00:43:55--> 00:44:07

and to the trained eye and ear you can see the flaws in the analysis that is no analysis or little analysis or it's a fraud analysis, but obviously to the public. Wow. Because the lay public is amazed by by what

00:44:08--> 00:44:09

by noise

00:44:11--> 00:44:16

Yeah, you take a Datsun and put a nice exhaust piece at the back. So it sounds like a Lamborghini

00:44:18--> 00:44:24

excites people isn't as if it was enhanced. We all should be doing that because we can't afford the Lamborghini just get the Datsun

00:44:25--> 00:44:35

everyone makes noise. They get amused by the noise and that's why in Arabic there's a saying that only a doctor knows how Only a doctor knows how good another doctor is.

00:44:36--> 00:44:45

Only everyone else says would love to be better than that here. This is Toby this doctor is amazing. But really only another doctor knows how amazing he is.

00:44:47--> 00:44:53

Because on what grounds What's your main area? What is your system of assessment

00:44:55--> 00:44:58

so use of it isn't always teaching us so much in this versus

00:44:59--> 00:45:00

responsibility

00:45:00--> 00:45:33

So, when you ask the chef for a question, make sure you don't go to a chef who is just known online for saying a lot of things. But a chef who is known to have the fewest mistakes, but only in what he says, but also in how he manages the deed, and the presentation of the, what he teaches, where he teaches how he teaches to who he teaches at all this is important. Knowledgeable plus responsible, knowledgeable plus responsible, knowledgeable plus responsible and no doubt responsibilities connected to trust in the heavy and trustworthy. Meaning I'm responsible for.

00:45:37--> 00:45:42

Allah subhanho wa Taala says what can only come occasionally useful fill out data but what will lead to hate we shall.

00:45:43--> 00:45:54

We spoke about this Allah says like this we established use of upon the land, yet about what we mean. He could go where he wanted, how he wanted, when he wanted to stay where he wanted it

00:45:55--> 00:45:58

from Abbott's to must June,

00:46:00--> 00:46:09

from a slave to incarcerated prisoner to roam the land as you want to do what you want when you want how you want. You have all the authority.

00:46:11--> 00:46:21

He's in charge of the storage houses, right? He can go anywhere he wants in the length, he can inspect any farm. He can look at the practices of any farmer.

00:46:22--> 00:46:27

He can set away he wants. Allah says worker then he can connect

00:46:29--> 00:46:31

to him healthier. Yeah, Abdullah Yama to

00:46:33--> 00:46:44

memorize this and memorize it well, oh, male and female slave of Allah. Allah says what can they Lika Cana It is Allah, it is we who established use of

00:46:46--> 00:46:57

that for us have to be where he is right now with the salah here with the protocols and the permissions that he has. He had to be in the world 40 to 50 years before.

00:46:58--> 00:46:59

Connect the dots.

00:47:00--> 00:47:03

Could he be here, if he wasn't thrown in the well?

00:47:04--> 00:47:32

If he wasn't in the world with the caravan, I found the caravan going to Egypt. If he wasn't found, you wouldn't have been taken by him by the caravan. If the caravan didn't find him, you wouldn't have been in the slave market. If he wasn't in the slave market, the minister wouldn't have found them if a minister didn't find him. He wouldn't have found himself growing up in the minister's house and becoming a test for the for the minister's wife. If that didn't happen. Those trials wouldn't happen if those trials didn't happen. He wouldn't have been in the prison if he wasn't in the prison. You wouldn't have met the inmates if you didn't meet the inmates. You wouldn't have met

00:47:32--> 00:47:51

the person who would be in the palace of the Kingdom the Kingdom of the dream. And and and plates play forward and play backwards and see the see the pattern. See Allah's plan. See Allah's plan. Allah has a plan. It's all of us plan. For one Allah's plan. Every day we live we just have a pixel, Allah has the picture.

00:47:52--> 00:48:07

Now we sing the picture of us via Instagram 50 years later, 40 years later, we sing the picture coming together. When Yusuf was in the world by Allah, I asked you, when you said was in the world, Could you have imagined one day he will be was enormous.

00:48:08--> 00:48:23

If I told you, yeah, Allah, okay, betting is hard. I'm not betting but if I told you, let's put best case scenario on the table here, who can think of the best case scenario for use of when he's down in a well as a young boy shirtless?

00:48:25--> 00:48:34

Who here would have said best case scenario? He will be a minister of a land forget about Egypt, a minister in some land, there was a medic.

00:48:36--> 00:48:37

Anybody?

00:48:38--> 00:49:16

What is this teach? Every day you live through Allah is just giving you a pixel, you know what a pixel is a picture is made out of millions, millions 10s of millions of pixels, depending on the size of a picture. pixels. If you have a pixel, can you tell what the picture is going to be like from one pixel from a few picks you need to keep gathering and that's what patience is about. Be patient and wait to see Allah's planter. Every day I was going to give you a pixel every moment and give it a pixel slowly but surely you'll start Subhanallah seeing that this is good for me. It's not bad for me what I'm going through Subhan Allah inspires me. Allah has chosen for me what I would

00:49:16--> 00:49:21

have chosen for myself. If Allah opened the cadaver for me and told me you choose your future.

00:49:24--> 00:49:56

Think about it like this. Then what you going through? Trust Allah trust Allah, how trust Allah to the extent that you feel what I'm going through. If Allah gave me the choice and showed me all my options, I would have chosen this journey for myself. That whatever Allah does, he does good and use of you this and that's what the end of the story says in Urbinati fully Masha Latif, he describes Allah as Latif, in a high Lama. After all of this, it says, My Lord is gentle, wouldn't be worse this was gentleness

00:49:59--> 00:49:59

then

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

We're veterans in Shell, meaning living out in the bedrooms in that sense, but to I know we have a particular paradigm and when we use the term bandwidth, what I mean is, they were out in shell

00:50:14--> 00:50:16
