The concept of "medi acknowledge" is not about achieving success or success rate, but rather about achieving a personal goal. It is important to set goals and not let oneself perish in regret, as it is the most important aspect of Islam. The speaker emphasizes the importance of setting goals and not letting oneself perish in regret, as it is the most important aspect of Islam.
00:00:00 -->
00:00:25
My dear brothers and sisters, I shared with our brothers and sisters in the southwest over the past
few days, many lessons that contain this concept of being a high Aspire and achieving that which is
better and greater. Because this is the reality Islam came to make us the best. Islam came to remove
this word known as mediocracy. From our vocabulary, this is a fact.
00:00:28 -->
00:00:34
And I shared with them that Allah subhanho wa Taala he gave us the best book the Quran,
00:00:36 -->
00:00:59
and he gave it to us via the best Angel jabril Allah, his Salah, and he gave it to the best
messenger Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam and he revealed it in the best month, the month of
Ramadan. And on the best night the lights of power Lena to Qatar, and in the best language, the
Arabic language and in the best place, to lucara and in this book, Allah subhanho wa Taala says
00:01:02 -->
00:01:04
that you are the best of people.
00:01:05 -->
00:01:32
Allah gave us the best of everything. So how does mediocracy become part and parcel of our life? How
does this concept of us being low achievers become part and parcel of our lives? It can't be for
Allah has created us for jet lag. Remember that? We discussed at the beginning, which was the limit
and he has a funny emelina Milan. This is an iron Surah cosafa
00:01:35 -->
00:01:40
Allah says, For this let strivers strive What does this mean?
00:01:42 -->
00:01:46
This is described in the ayah before it Allah subhanho wa Taala
00:01:47 -->
00:01:55
says Illa a bear de la Hema See, but not the chosen sevens of Allah meaning retrogression.
00:01:57 -->
00:01:58
A bad ending
00:02:00 -->
00:02:12
a life of low achievement, this is not for who rebelled Allah who seen this the sincere servants of
Allah subhanho wa Taala. Like
00:02:13 -->
00:02:18

with a copy on thrones facing one another. You fall for him because remember, there will be
circulated amongst them a cup

00:03:24 -->
00:03:45
chick is born in an egg and the eggs job is to protect it. It's delicate. The chick is delicate, and
the egg protects it is that box which provides it with protection. Allah subhanho wa Taala says as
for these females, they resemble this concept as if they were delicate eggs well protected.
00:03:48 -->
00:04:08
And they meaning they will approach one another inquiring of each other the people of gentlemen will
approach one another inquiring of each other? Allah subhanho wa Taala says a speaker amongst them
will say indeed when I used to live on Earth, I had a companion

This is the price for WHO THE Hi Aspire. Thus Allah says in the eye after that limited he has.
00:05:37 -->
00:06:03
It is for this gentle servants of Allah. And it is for this gentleman, our children of Adam that you
should strive that the strivers should strive, never ever set your bar low, always set it high. I
told the brothers the other day about our saying in the English language by Michelangelo. He says
the travesty is not in setting your bar high and not achieving your goals. The travesty is in
setting your bar low and achieving it
00:06:04 -->
00:06:09
because you become complacent. Once you start achieving, you become complacent and you say I'm done.
00:06:10 -->
00:06:12
You enter a state of delusion.
00:06:15 -->
00:06:16
set high goals
00:06:17 -->
00:06:18
in the sky.
00:06:21 -->
00:06:58
In fact, in the moon, because there's footprints on the moon, right? It's footprints on the moon.
Raise your aspirations. This is what it's about are servants of Allah. Don't just say I'm going to
become a doctor. See, I'm going to be the best doctor. Don't just say I'm going to be a lawyer say
I'm going to be the best lawyer. Don't just say I'm going to become a habit. Say I'm going to be the
best half. Don't just say I'm going to contribute to this conference. Be the best contributor. Do it
for the sake of Allah and do it properly. This was the way of Mohammed sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
are servants of Allah and we say Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam we believe in him as the final
00:06:58 -->
00:07:27
messenger. Thus, let's adopt from his Sunnah from his way. He was a perfectionist in everything that
he did. And everything he did, he did it with the highest of aspirations. If we take one example
from his life, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the example of him being a dad, which was the
prerogative behind him being sent, we see that he has the highest aspirations in that as well. We
know he's to cry if a person passed away, upon check.
00:07:28 -->
00:08:03
By Allah ask yourself, let us ask ourselves, when last did we cry? For a person who died upon check?
When last did we cry? With our neighbor never observed Salah in the masjid. When last did we cry?
When our friends Mr Salah together when lasted we have a sleepless night when our brothers and
sisters in another country are suffering when last by Allah let us ask ourselves, Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam cried when one person who passed away
00:08:06 -->
00:08:16
he didn't want to be any day he wanted to be the best day that everyone died upon Islam sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam Rasul Allah subhanho wa Taala tells him
00:08:18 -->
00:09:01
that do not let yourself perish over these disbelievers over them in regret, that they deny your
message. Do not Do not let yourself perish Subhan Allah Luca how Allah subhanho wa Taala describes
his situation. Allah subhanho wa Taala sees him in depression. Why because they've not accepting the
message that which is good for them. He set the bar so high that he could not accept the denial of
the message. sallallahu alayhi wasallam he was to strive. It's not like you and I today we say
hello, as we told him that he learned the hard way. Today we leave a person isn't it? That's what we
do. We tell you once, tell him twice in Carlos. loco De Luca Maria de right. He learned the hard
00:09:01 -->
00:09:06
way. So either you listen and learn properly or we will talk tomorrow and
00:09:09 -->
00:09:10
this wasn't the case was also La la la.
00:09:12 -->
00:09:19
La describes the situation did not make yourself die and perish in regret over the situation.
00:09:21 -->
00:09:54
But Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would thus in South Africa what is Allah subhanho wa
Taala? Say? Fernanda, back here nesic a cartoon Nuff said that perhaps you will kill yourself over
these people's denial of your message. This was Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam the highest
aspirations remember our goals? Our objectives are based upon our aspirations. When you set your
goals, and it happens, you ask somebody, what do you expect to get in your exam? He says, you know
if I get 80% I'm happy.
00:09:55 -->
00:10:00
Why did he say 80? Not 90 because that's the level of his aspiration. You are
00:10:00 -->
00:10:02
As an expert, he goes, No, it has to be 95.
00:10:03 -->
00:10:11
But 85% He goes, I know but 95 that's my that's my goal. Why? Because he has a high aspiration.
00:10:12 -->
00:10:16
Like I told the brothers of the sister studying Islam, I don't settle for
00:10:17 -->
00:10:18
80%
00:10:20 -->
00:10:26
because you're going to be teaching the deen of Allah subhanho wa Taala Do you want to teach it at
the level of 80% in cinema,
00:10:28 -->
00:10:30
you should aim for the best.
00:10:32 -->
00:10:58
And if your aspirations are high, it might mean that you have sleepless nights studying. It might
mean that you traveling to a chef for extra lessons, it might mean that but the person who's setting
for it, immediately we see everything around him, settled upon his desire for at the one who wants
95 goes to school after school is going for extra lessons. The one who wants he goes to school after
school goes to sleep.
00:10:59 -->
00:11:11
Right? It's all tied your goals, your targets, your objective, all this is based on your
aspirations. Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had such a high aspiration, that
00:11:12 -->
00:11:59
it almost harmed him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. He was dedicated and concerned that his students
suffer. And he announced to heat and he was cursed by Abu lahab. Then he didn't stop there. He went
into the markets of Makkah and call to tauheed and they threw sand on his face, and he never stopped
there. Thus he went to five and invited them to Islam, and they stoned him until he bled La ilaha
illa Allah and he never stopped there. Subhan Allah, such high aspiration sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, then he was offered to have the city of five destroyed, but he chose to do that the project
did become believers sallallahu alayhi wa sallam such high aspirations La ilaha illa Allah, Allah He
00:11:59 -->
00:12:00
former arsenic Allah.
00:12:04 -->
00:12:28
Allah indeed, was asked when he said to his prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, we have not sent
you, except as a mercy to mankind. sallallahu alayhi wasallam our brothers and sisters, we know
about him. Nothing I'm saying here is for him. But the setting is just to revise that which we know
and remind each other to that which we know.
00:12:29 -->
00:12:44
Or that you find that the crop 10 million in reminding one another this benefit is everything I've
shared, it's something we know. But inshallah life will act as a means of reviving something we
forgot. And the means of us revising
00:12:46 -->
00:12:52
our resolutions, our yearly resolutions, our quarterly resolutions,
00:12:53 -->
00:12:59
the month of Ramadan came and went. How many of us have continued with those wonderful events that
we started in?
00:13:00 -->
00:13:03
The Quran was to read daily has it continued?
00:13:05 -->
00:13:10
That we began reading in Ramadan has it continued looking after the tsunami?
00:13:11 -->
00:13:12
Has it continued?
00:13:14 -->
00:13:28
Asking the masjid if it needs anyhow. Has it continued? Or have we stagnated because of low
aspirations? Understand this servant of Allah and oh Children of Adam, benchmark yourself I'll end
up with an inspirational story.
00:13:30 -->
00:13:41
And that is the story of Eben on Al Maktoum, the blind date of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wasallam. This heavier of the other one was blind. he lacked
00:13:43 -->
00:13:47
sight. But he indeed had insight.
00:13:48 -->
00:13:55
he lacked sight, but he had insight today we have people who have sight but they lack insight.
Right?
00:13:56 -->
00:14:03
They have sight, but they lack insight. We said that the day to day we don't have people our vision.
We have people off television.
00:14:04 -->
00:14:05
Right?
00:14:06 -->
00:14:17
This heavy was blind but he had insight. He was the was there and he loved and he practiced practice
this concept of calling to the greatest worships Allah.
00:14:18 -->
00:14:29
The Sahaba passed away after the Battle of qadisiya during the reign of Baba Viola one. And there's
two narrations to his death, but I'll share with you one I'll share with you one
00:14:32 -->
00:14:34
commanded the Muslims
00:14:35 -->
00:14:38
to form an army for the Battle of qadisiya.
00:14:39 -->
00:14:40
And as Omar
00:14:41 -->
00:14:44
is checking the army, he sees this blind person ready
00:14:46 -->
00:14:49
for war, and Amari
00:14:51 -->
00:14:58
says Where are you going? He says, I'm going with Tommy. He's but you blind. You don't need to.
There's no hierarchy upon you.
00:15:00 -->
00:15:03
Allah subhanho wa Taala in the Quran said upon the blind person, there's no Howard.
00:15:04 -->
00:15:06
There is no perish.
00:15:07 -->
00:15:30
You don't have to because I went to someone said, What would you do there? He says, I will increase
the number of Muslims on the battlefield. I will be a means of showing the enemy that we much more
to Pamela oluwole high aspirations. This is a blind man not saying oh, I'm blind. I'm sitting here.
I'll see you when you get back. We'll be with you.
00:15:31 -->
00:15:35
high aspirations, high aspirations. I'm going with them.
00:15:37 -->
00:15:49
And he said that he passed away on the battlefield holding the flag that he were the flag of La
ilaha illAllah Muhammad Rasul Allah, He died upon that. And that is how it will be raised on the
00:15:50 -->
00:15:58
seventh of July, no children of Adam asked Allah subhanho wa Taala. To grant us understanding to
accept from us there's a saying in the Arabic language.
00:16:00 -->
00:16:06
When Shabbat is a matter, that whoever becomes old upon a habit will die upon that habit.
00:16:08 -->
00:16:20
Don't become old, except upon the habit of having high aspirations for life. Don't forget Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam statement that don't ask for any gentlemen, but ask for the best.
00:16:23 -->
00:17:03
Don't forget that Allah subhanho wa Taala declared us to be the best of all nations. So let us be
the best to our parents, to our children, to our spouses, to our teachers, to our communities, to
every environment that Allah subhanho wa Taala places us in, there has become the makers of change,
and the shapers of change. There has become people who see and not people who just take up space and
are seen there or make things happen.
00:17:05 -->
00:17:15
And not just watch things happen. Yesterday, I told your brothers and sisters in Bristol that
there's other people as well, who have the habit of always saying what happened.
00:17:16 -->
00:17:20
They don't make it happen. They don't see it happened. They always
00:17:22 -->
00:17:26
uninformed. So when you speak about something they got Hold on, hold on Hold on What happened?
00:17:28 -->
00:18:03
Whereas the people who make things happen, and not people who watch things have Allah hid the world
and the oma requires a revival. Let us take our rightful place and become the revisers Allah
subhanho wa Taala accept mean and Allah subhanho wa Taala knows best. Everything corrected is from
Allah subhanho wa Taala and he's perfect. And any mistakes are for myself and shavon and I see
Carlos Pena who Allah is forgiveness sallallahu wasallam or Baraka and Amina Mohammed, who Allah
Allah He was such a big believer said I want to live America
