			wa an as-sahabati ajma'in, wa anna
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:29
			ma'ahum ya rabbal alamin, amma ba'd, my
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:32
			dear brothers and sisters, if we look at
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:34
			the ni'ma of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:37
			we will not be able to count them.
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:40
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, wa in
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:46
			ta'uddu ni'mata Allahi la tuhsooha, inna Allaha
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:50
			la ghafoorun raheem, in another ayah, Allah subhanahu
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:52
			wa ta'ala says, wa in ta'uddu
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:56
			ni'mata Allahi la tuhsooha, inna al-insana la
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:59
			dhaloomun kaffar, so Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:01
			in both ayahs is telling us that if
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:03
			you try to count the blessings of Allah
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:06
			subhanahu wa ta'ala upon you, you will
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:09
			not be able to count them, simply because
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			there are too much, there are too many
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:13
			of them that we cannot count them, we
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:15
			cannot say, today Allah blessed me with this,
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:17
			you know, when you want to inspire someone,
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:19
			you tell them, hey, every single day think
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:22
			of three ni'ma, and if you allow me
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:25
			to pause insha'Allah, one of the ni'ma
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:27
			that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala blessed us
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:29
			with, is you coming to the masjid, it's
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:32
			a ni'ma, right, it's a blessing that Allah
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:33
			brought you to the masjid, there are so
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:35
			many muslims outside, maybe some of them did
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:37
			not pray, but Allah brought you here, so,
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:39
			I'm saying this because I see some brothers
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:41
			using the cell phone, and using the cell
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:44
			phone while the imam is talking, is actually
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:48
			prohibited, for any imam, any masjid, Allah subhanahu
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50
			wa ta'ala will invalidate your prayer, this
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:52
			is how significant and how important this is,
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:54
			subhanAllah, right, what I always say to the
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:57
			brothers and sisters is that, do not worry,
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:59
			the stock market is not going to change,
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:01
			because you did not check your profile or
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:04
			your shares, it's not going to change, everything
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:06
			is going to continue outside, the same exact
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:08
			way before you came here, subhanAllah, so just
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:10
			detach yourself from dunya a little bit, and
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:12
			bring yourself to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:14
			may Allah bless you, so there are so
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:17
			many ni'ma, when we inspire someone, we say,
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:19
			think of three ni'ma, three blessings that Allah
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:22
			blessed you with, and this will give you
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:26
			the concept of gratitude, shukra, shukra, shukra will
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:29
			give you happiness, if you want to be
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:32
			content and happy, always remember the things that
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:33
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala blessed you with,
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:36
			always, because we tend to look at the
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:37
			things that we do not have, rather than
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:40
			the things that we have, there are a
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:41
			lot of things that you and I have
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:43
			right now, and there are so many people
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:44
			outside, they do not have it, even some
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:46
			people might be amongst us now, and they
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:48
			might not have it, subhanAllah, if you can
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:50
			hear me now, if you can see me
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52
			now, there are people who actually cannot see
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:55
			me or cannot hear me, subhanAllah, if your
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:59
			body alhamdulillah is functioning well, if you can
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:00
			breathe, that's a ni'ma of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:02
			ta'ala, there are some people paying thousands
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:05
			of dollars in hospitals, just to be able
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:08
			to get oxygen, just a little bit of
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:11
			oxygen, but alhamdulillah, you and I are having
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:13
			this for granted, so Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:15
			'ala says, these are the ni'ma, the blessings,
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:18
			are the zahira, the evident one, the evident
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:19
			one that we see them, we know that
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:22
			oxygen is important for us, we know that
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:24
			food is important for us, we know that
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:26
			safety and security, those are also important for
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:29
			us, we know that for sure, but there
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:31
			are a lot of ni'ma that Allah subhanahu
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:33
			wa ta'ala blessed us with, and we
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:35
			are not paying attention to, in surat, and
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:37
			again if you don't mind, I will pause
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:39
			inshaAllah, because there are some brothers still using
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:42
			the cell phone, while the imam is talking,
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:44
			the salah is invalid, your time here on
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:47
			the day of judgment, Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:50
			'ala will show you your record, and you
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:52
			will say, wait a minute, but on November
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:56
			7th, if I'm not mistaken, I was in
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:59
			the masjid listening to imam Salah's khutbah, and
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:00
			I was allowed to say you were there,
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:02
			but you were on your cell phone, this
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:03
			is how serious it is, that's why I
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:06
			paused, so brothers and sisters, may Allah bless
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:11
			you, so Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tells
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:14
			us, in a beautiful surah, surat Luqman, أَلَمْ
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:16
			تَرَوْا أَنَّ اللَّهَ سَخَّرَ لَكُمْ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:21
			وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَأَسْبَغَ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعَمَهُ ظَاهِرَةً وَبَاطِنًا
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:23
			that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, He showered
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:27
			you and bestowed upon you, نِعَم، ظَاهِرَة، وَبَاطِنًا
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:30
			they're evident ones, and ones that are unseen,
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:33
			they're concealed, they're unseen, we do not see
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:35
			this نعم, and when you look at the
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:38
			book of the tafsir, to actually try to
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:41
			understand, what Allah means exactly, by saying نعم
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:44
			باطنة, we do not see them, we do
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:47
			not recognize them, the ulema, they say, there
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:50
			is a نعمة called نعمة الستر, نعمة, the
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:53
			blessing of a sitr, that Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:56
			ta'ala, is covering up for your sins,
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:59
			and for your shortcomings, that's a نعمة that
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:02
			we do not recognize, that we do not
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:05
			appreciate, that we do not value, and subhanallah,
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:07
			we tend to forget, and that is how
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:10
			arrogance comes to us, that we think that
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:13
			we're awesome, we're amazing, and others are, you
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:15
			know, they're the bad ones, you know why?
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17
			And the people respect me, because I am
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:19
			this, I am that, I have this position,
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:20
			I have this status, and people respect me
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:23
			for that, people do respect you, because of
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:26
			this نعمة, people do respect you, and appreciate
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:28
			you, and speak highly about you, because of
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:30
			that نعمة, because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:33
			did not allow them, to see the other
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:36
			side, that you have, and that is very
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:38
			true, and this is for everyone, we're humans,
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:41
			and we make mistakes, and we slip, okay?
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:43
			And this is very normal, so your brother
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:44
			is sitting next to you, and I don't
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:46
			want everyone, to keep on looking right and
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			left, I'm just giving you examples, your brother
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:50
			is sitting next to you, all right?
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:52
			And you're sitting next to him, you know
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:54
			yourself, better than your brother knows you, and
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:56
			he knows himself very well, and she knows
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:58
			herself, and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, knows
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:00
			both of you, okay?
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:03
			So now, the thing is, when you sit,
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:05
			and you're not realizing, that you have this
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:06
			نعمة, that there is something, that you did,
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:10
			possibly this morning, possibly yesterday, possibly last month,
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:12
			possibly last year, that only you and Allah,
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:14
			is aware of, okay?
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:17
			And you are, you're looking at people, and
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:20
			people are respecting you, and they're holding you,
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:22
			in a very high position, that is because
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:24
			of that نعمة, my brothers and sisters.
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:27
			If Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, left off
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:30
			this نعمة, نعمة السترة, Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:33
			'ala, one of his names, الستير, إِنَّ اللَّهَ
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:35
			حَيِيٌّ سِتِّيرٌ One of the, it was mentioned
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:36
			in the hadith, of Rasulullah salallahu alayhi wa
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:39
			sallam, Allah loves سترة, Allah loves to cover
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:43
			up, for our shortcomings, and our mistakes, okay?
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:45
			This is from فضل, of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:47
			ta'ala, that he doesn't, he doesn't want
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:48
			to expose us, in front of each other,
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:50
			because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, wants to
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:53
			make sure, that there is harmony, okay?
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:57
			But also, that comes with a price, this
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:58
			is not for everyone.
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:00
			In the beginning, Allah guarantees for everyone, He
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:03
			will cover, He will cover up your mistakes,
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:03
			okay?
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:06
			He knows that you've committed the sin, alright?
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:08
			And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, knows that,
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:11
			that if the sin, as you know, a
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:14
			beautiful statement, that I heard before, that if
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:17
			the sin were to have a smell, we
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:19
			would not even bear each other's smell.
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:22
			Imagine if the sins, Allah exposed us, in
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:25
			a form of smell, bad smell, alright?
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:29
			Imagine how terrible, the area would be, subhanallah.
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:32
			But because, that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:34
			is covering each and every one of us,
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:38
			that's why, alhamdulillah, it's good, it's peaceful.
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:40
			That's the ni'mah, that Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:42
			'ala, speaks about in this ayah, وَأَسْبَغَ عَلَيْكُمْ
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:45
			نَعْمَهُ ظَاهِرَةًۢ The evident, and the ones that
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:47
			are hidden, alright?
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:49
			So if you have this ni'mah, if I
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:51
			have this ni'mah, we have to do two
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:53
			things, okay?
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:55
			The first thing that you and I should
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:57
			do, is to say alhamdulillah for this ni'mah.
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:59
			Can we say alhamdulillah for this ni'mah?
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:01
			That no one knows what you do, it's
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:02
			only you Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:03
			He could cover it.
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:05
			You know what is very interesting, and I
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:08
			find it to be, subhanallah, I don't want
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:10
			to use that word, but it's just mind
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:11
			-blowing, subhanallah.
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:13
			You know the du'a, at the end
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:17
			of surah al-Baqarah, رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَا
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:20
			إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِنَا رَبَّنَا
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:23
			وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَا إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:26
			مِنْ قَبْلِنَا You know this beautiful du'a
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:28
			that we make a lot of times, at
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:29
			the end of surah al-Baqarah, I want
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:30
			you to go to the translation.
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:33
			Oh Allah, do not treat us the way
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:34
			you treat the people before us.
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:35
			You know how Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:38
			treated them before, the people way before the
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:39
			Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam?
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:49
			The front door of their house, that that
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:51
			person was drinking last night, that person did
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:53
			this, and that person did that.
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:55
			Can you imagine that?
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:56
			Can you picture this in your mind?
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:59
			That Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala decides that
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:01
			he was gonna write in your car, in
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:02
			your house, that you did this, I did
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:03
			that.
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:04
			That's why we ask Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:07
			'ala, we say, ya Allah, please, we cannot
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:07
			take that.
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:09
			Don't treat us the way you treated them
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:09
			before.
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:10
			Alright?
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:12
			And Allah has given you this.
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:13
			He has given you the sitter.
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:15
			So two things you should do if Allah
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:17
			subhanahu wa ta'ala has given you that.
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:20
			Number one, number one, Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:23
			'ala, you should say alhamdulillah for this ni'mah,
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:24
			that Allah is covering up the ma'asiyah,
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:26
			and the sins, right?
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:27
			And the shortcomings.
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:31
			Number two, we should be careful.
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:31
			Why?
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:35
			Because you have something called nasibun min al
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:35
			-sitr.
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:37
			You have a share, it's not unlimited.
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:39
			It's not unlimited.
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:41
			Don't think this is unlimited.
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:42
			Allah will always cover for you.
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:43
			No, it doesn't work this way.
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:46
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, how He works,
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:49
			how He does, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:50
			will give you a share.
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:52
			Let's say you have 50 shares.
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:53
			Okay?
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:54
			50 times.
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:56
			He's going to cover for you 50 times.
		
00:20:57 --> 00:21:00
			After that 50 times, number 51, Allah subhanahu
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:02
			wa ta'ala will lift this cover.
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:05
			And He will tell people, do you see
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:06
			what He's doing?
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:07
			Okay?
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:09
			So it will not happen for the first
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:09
			time.
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:11
			It will not happen for the first time.
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:14
			Allah will give you once, twice, and thrice.
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:16
			That's why Umar ibn al-Khattab r.a,
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:19
			in a very interesting story, when someone was
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:21
			brought up to him because he stole something,
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:22
			alright?
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:24
			He took like food or something, right?
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:26
			So they brought him up to Umar ibn
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:28
			al-Khattab r.a, and the man said,
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:31
			listen, please, don't punish me, this is my
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:32
			first time.
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:34
			Umar ibn al-Khattab r.a said, I
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:35
			swear by Allah, had it been your first
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:37
			time, Allah would have never exposed you.
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:40
			This is not your first time, man.
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:44
			You're exposed because you lost your share of
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:46
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala covering you.
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:46
			Okay?
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:49
			So how Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, how
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:52
			it works is that He keeps on giving
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:53
			you a lot of signs.
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:55
			And I hear this from brothers and we're
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:56
			people.
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:56
			Okay?
		
00:21:57 --> 00:21:58
			He gives you a lot of signs.
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:00
			You're someone who goes the wrong way.
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:02
			You do wrong things, mistakes.
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:02
			Okay?
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:06
			Behind your spouse back, behind your parents back,
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:09
			behind your, you know, anybody.
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:10
			And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala keeps on
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:11
			giving you a sign.
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:12
			Okay?
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:13
			He gives you a sign.
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:14
			Let me share a story.
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:16
			I find it to be very funny but
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:17
			very relevant.
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:19
			A friend of mine in New York, a
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:22
			long time ago, I saw him one day
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:24
			and his eyes, if you look at it,
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:26
			subhanallah, swollen.
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:27
			It's just crazy.
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:28
			So I told him, what's going on, Muhammad?
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:32
			He said, you know, I actually, um, he
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:34
			said, you know, I just hit my head
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:34
			somewhere.
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:35
			I mean, something happened to me.
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:36
			It was an accident.
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:36
			I was like, okay.
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:38
			Did you go to the doctor?
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:38
			He said, yeah.
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:40
			One week, nothing is happening.
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:40
			Literally.
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:42
			He puts the creams and everything.
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:42
			Nothing is happening.
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:44
			Then I told him, what's going on?
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:46
			He said, uh, I will go to the
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:46
			doctor again.
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:48
			They keep on giving medication but nothing is
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:49
			happening.
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:50
			My eyes, it's getting worse.
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:51
			All right?
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:52
			And the doctor even doesn't know what's the
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:53
			reason for that.
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:53
			Right?
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:55
			Like, why is it that bad?
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:57
			So, one day, I told him, everything okay?
		
00:22:58 --> 00:22:58
			He said, you know what?
		
00:22:58 --> 00:22:59
			Can I, can I admit something?
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:00
			I said, yes.
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:01
			What's going on?
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:04
			He said, one time, I was walking the
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:07
			street of, of somewhere in Queens, New York,
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:10
			and he said, there was a lady walking
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:13
			behind me, so I kept on actually turning
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:16
			like that, and I was really looking, looking
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:18
			at her inappropriately for a long time, and
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:19
			by the time I'm turning back, there was
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:20
			like a pole in my face.
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:26
			And this is not the first time I
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:26
			do that.
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:27
			All right?
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:28
			It's a true story, wallahi.
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:29
			I just laughed.
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:31
			It's, it's sad, but it made me laugh.
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:32
			All right?
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:34
			I said, because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:36
			has given you multiple chances.
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:37
			This is one of the signs.
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:39
			He didn't expose you.
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:39
			All right?
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:41
			He did not expose you, but he has
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:42
			given you a lot of signs.
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:44
			If you're doing something haram, Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:47
			ta'ala, sometimes you're going somewhere, and it
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:48
			doesn't, it doesn't work out.
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:49
			All right?
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:51
			You want to meet somebody, something happens, and
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:53
			the meeting doesn't happen, and you get frustrated.
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:53
			Why?
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:54
			But I had plans.
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:55
			I wanted to have fun.
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:56
			I wanted to drink.
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:57
			I want to do this.
		
00:23:57 --> 00:23:59
			I wanted to do that, and Allah subhanahu
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:00
			wa ta'ala does not make it happen,
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:02
			and you're not realizing that Allah is giving
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:03
			you a sign.
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:04
			Be careful.
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:05
			That's a sign for you.
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:06
			Turn back.
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:08
			Make a U-turn, but you're still going,
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:09
			and going, and going.
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:10
			Right?
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:12
			And you fall, and Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:14
			'ala, and you rise again, and you continue
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:14
			walking.
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:18
			Then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala decides that,
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:21
			well, you did not learn from your mistakes,
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:23
			and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will tell
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:24
			you, I made this up.
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:26
			Allah will not say that, but Allah subhanahu
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:27
			wa ta'ala will tell you, sorry, you
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:28
			ran out of credit.
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:32
			You had 50 credits, 50 minutes, 50 shares,
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:33
			whatever you want to call it.
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:34
			You ran out of credit.
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:37
			People, this is the person whom you thought
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:39
			it was a holy person.
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:41
			That's the person whom you thought that was
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:42
			a good person.
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:44
			Look what he did.
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:45
			Is that fair?
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:46
			Yes, it is fair.
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:50
			And that explains to us why, you know,
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:51
			when you see a scholar, when you see
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:54
			a religious figure, when you see a politician,
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:56
			when you see this, why Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:59
			ta'ala exposed you that bad, because Allah
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:01
			has given you so many chances.
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:03
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has told you,
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:06
			He told you, be careful, don't do that.
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:09
			There is a responsibility, a responsibility.
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:11
			People respect you for a reason.
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:14
			People respect you because they thought you're a
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:17
			good person, but you are not realizing that.
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:18
			I've given you multiple chances.
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:21
			But then when you don't pay attention to
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:22
			that, Allah will say, you ran out of
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:23
			credit, Habib.
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:23
			It doesn't matter.
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:26
			If you are the Grand Shaykh of the
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:27
			whole world, it doesn't matter.
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:30
			I put you in such high status, but
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:31
			guess what?
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:33
			Because you did not appreciate this ni'mah, you
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:34
			were not alert.
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:36
			You were not careful.
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:38
			You're coming back, crashing down, and your reputation
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:40
			is tarnished forever.
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:42
			And that's just in dunya.
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:44
			And that's not the end of it.
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:45
			It's not like Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:46
			is saying, khalas, you're in jahannam.
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:46
			No.
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:50
			He says, you learn to listen, but the
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:51
			listener is going to be severe.
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:53
			And for us brothers and sisters, when we
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:55
			look at situations like this, we keep on
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:57
			saying, you know, what did he do?
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:58
			He did that to himself or she did
		
00:25:58 --> 00:25:59
			that to herself.
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:02
			And we forget that our credit is not
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:07
			100% guaranteed because we already also did
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:07
			something.
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:10
			But the difference between us and him is
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:12
			that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala decided that
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:13
			that's it for him.
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:16
			But for you, he's still giving you that
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:17
			chance.
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:20
			This is a very serious matter because a
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:22
			lot of people, you know, nobody knows.
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:23
			They will know.
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:25
			Listen, brothers and sisters, I know time, subhanallah,
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:26
			started a little late.
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:30
			Brothers and sisters, you are betraying your spouse
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:32
			and this is what they say to the
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:33
			sisters and the brothers.
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:36
			Shaykh, can I check his phone?
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:39
			You know, the night patrolling.
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:40
			Brothers, be careful.
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:43
			Your phone is being checked right and left.
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:44
			Okay?
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:45
			Check.
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:47
			They have ways.
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:49
			Right?
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:51
			And you say like, you know, she doesn't
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:52
			know.
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:53
			She doesn't, he doesn't know.
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:57
			But you're forgetting something very important, Allah.
		
00:26:58 --> 00:27:00
			So what they say to the sisters and
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:02
			the brothers, please try not to do that
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:04
			because you're going to open up doors of
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:05
			Jahannam on you.
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:06
			You're not going to sleep.
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:11
			But wait, they have certain amount of sitting.
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:15
			Once Allah decides that this sit is over,
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:16
			she will know.
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:17
			How?
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:19
			She will see a dream.
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:21
			She'll wake up in the morning and your
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:23
			wife tells you like, you know, what did
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:24
			you do last night?
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:26
			I was like, well, you punished me because
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:26
			you see a dream?
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:27
			It's a dream.
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:28
			I didn't do anything.
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:29
			Right?
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:30
			She will know.
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:30
			He will know.
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:32
			It's not because she did an effort.
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:34
			It's because Allah decided that's it.
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:35
			That's over.
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:37
			So what I say to the brothers and
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:39
			sisters is, listen, fix your relationship with Allah
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:40
			subhanahu wa ta'ala Habibi.
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:41
			You're not going to hide forever.
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:43
			You're not going to hide forever.
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:46
			There was one brother, I remember it was
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:47
			New York.
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:49
			I will end inshallah with this.
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:52
			He said, Sheikh, you know, I was having
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:54
			another marriage or whatever somewhere else, another state.
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:58
			And you know, for like two, three, four
		
00:27:58 --> 00:27:59
			years, my wife didn't know.
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:00
			And one day, you know what happened, Sheikh?
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:03
			Literally, my phone called my wife by mistake
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:04
			while I was with another woman.
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:09
			My phone rang, like called her number by
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:09
			mistake.
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:11
			I told him he was not going to
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:12
			be hidden.
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:15
			It's not because your wife is the, it's
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:17
			not just because, it's because of Allah subhanahu
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:17
			wa ta'ala.
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:20
			So brothers and sisters, again, I want you
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:20
			to reflect.
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:22
			I want you to really think about this
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:23
			because this is very serious matter.
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:26
			If this is what is happening, if Allah
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:28
			is continuing covering you with his sitr, I
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:31
			want you to just pause and reflect.
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:35
			Is it really, is it really worth it?
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:37
			I want you to ask this question.
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:39
			And again, I'm not judging anybody.
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:40
			May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala cover our
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:41
			own faults and mistakes.
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:43
			But if that's the case, I want you
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:46
			to ask, is it worth losing your children?
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:47
			Is it worth it?
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:51
			That moment of lust and desire, is it
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:53
			really worth it to lose your family, your
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:54
			children, and your reputation?
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:55
			Is it worth it?
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:57
			Is it worth it?
		
00:28:57 --> 00:28:58
			That's a question you should always ask yourself.
		
00:28:59 --> 00:28:59
			Is it worth it?
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:05
			Having your kids, you know, they're feeling humiliated
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:06
			their whole life.
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:09
			They look at you as someone, as a
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:11
			betrayal, someone who ruined their life.
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:12
			Is it worth it?
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:14
			Have you thought about your own kids?
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:17
			Your own kids, if they find out.
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:20
			Have you thought about destroying your spouse's life
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:21
			and your own life?
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:22
			Is it really worth it?
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:25
			And forget about the spouse.
		
00:29:25 --> 00:29:27
			It's all about Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:31
			Don't think that is because the scholar or
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:34
			whoever was exposed is because of really the
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:34
			wife.
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:37
			It was going to come regardless because khalas,
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:40
			once you run out of credit, it is
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:41
			over.
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:43
			Your credit is over.
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:45
			The ni'mah that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:47
			has given you, the ni'mah that Allah subhanahu
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:49
			wa ta'ala has given you is you
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:50
			did not appreciate it.
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:52
			You did not say alhamdulillah for it.
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:54
			You did not recognize and acknowledge the signs
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:56
			that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has given
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:56
			you.
		
00:29:57 --> 00:29:59
			So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala decides that
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:01
			it's not going to work.
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:03
			People, that is the person that you thought
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:04
			he was the best.
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:05
			Look what is happening.
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:07
			And this is just in dunya.
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:09
			I say this and ask Allah's forgiveness for
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:09
			me and for you.
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:15
			Alhamdulillah wa kafa wa salatan wa salaman ala
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:18
			abadihi alladhina astaghfirullah la ilaha illallah wahdahu la
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:20
			sharika la huwa ash-shadu anna muhammadan abiduhu
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:22
			wa rasuluhu amma ba'd.
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:25
			And always make dua that Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:27
			ta'ala cover up for our mistakes and
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:30
			shortcomings and say Allahumma asturna fawqal ardu wa
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:32
			tahtal ardu wa yawmal arda alayk.
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:34
			Brothers and sisters, when you hear about a
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:37
			scandal, when you hear about any incident, I
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:38
			want you to keep this in your mind.
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:40
			I want you to say alhamdulillah.
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:42
			Also say alhamdulillah because I am not in
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:43
			their place.
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:45
			That Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is maintained.
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:47
			Don't feel happy for it because something like
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:48
			this happened to a person.
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:49
			Don't feel happy.
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:51
			This is very dangerous, wallahi.
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:53
			kathalika kuntum min qablu fa manna allahu alaykum
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:55
			Maybe you're like this but Allah is covering
		
00:30:55 --> 00:30:56
			up for you.
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:58
			And if the time comes, Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:00
			ta'ala will put you in just the
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:01
			same position.
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:03
			So say alhamdulillah and try to make dua
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:06
			for them and for their families and don't
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:09
			entertain the fact that someone has been exposed.
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:10
			Don't entertain that.
		
00:31:10 --> 00:31:10
			Right?
		
00:31:10 --> 00:31:12
			Because they never know what is going to
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:12
			happen tomorrow.
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:15
			As long as we're alive, we're not, you
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:16
			know, we're not secured from fitna.
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:18
			So may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala protect
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:19
			us from fitna, ya Rabb al-alameen.
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:21
			I will conclude with one more thing.
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:22
			May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless this
		
00:31:22 --> 00:31:23
			community.
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:26
			Alhamdulillah, we had a wonderful fundraiser event and
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:28
			we raised, mashallah, a little over a million
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:29
			dollars.
		
00:31:29 --> 00:31:29
			Takbeer.
		
00:31:29 --> 00:31:31
			May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless you.
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:34
			But subhanallah, our goal was 1.2 million
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:34
			dollars.
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:38
			Alhamdulillah, we're close to the, inshallah, we're close
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:39
			to the target.
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:41
			So inshallah, after salah, if you don't mind,
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:44
			for a few minutes, biiznillah ta'ala, I'm
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:45
			going to stand and see if some brothers,
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:48
			inshallah, can contribute so we can have full
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:50
			-time Islamic school that the second floor that
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:53
			we need, really desperately need actually, inshallah, to
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:54
			be completed as well.
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:55
			So be generous.
		
00:31:55 --> 00:31:56
			This is your community.
		
00:31:56 --> 00:31:58
			May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless you.
		
00:32:47 --> 00:32:48
			Allah is the greatest.
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:52
			There is no god but Allah.
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:26
			May the peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah
		
00:36:26 --> 00:36:27
			be upon you.
		
00:36:27 --> 00:36:29
			May the peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah
		
00:36:29 --> 00:36:29
			be upon you.
		
00:36:34 --> 00:36:37
			Can we have one brother, inshallah, for $25
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:37
			,000?
		
00:36:38 --> 00:36:39
			Quickly, inshallah, just two minutes.
		
00:36:39 --> 00:36:42
			$25,000, inshallah, so we can reach our
		
00:36:42 --> 00:36:43
			goal, inshallah.
		
00:36:43 --> 00:36:44
			Any brother, inshallah?
		
00:36:44 --> 00:36:46
			I'm not going to stay here long, but
		
00:36:46 --> 00:36:49
			we have the volunteers, inshallah, wearing different clothes,
		
00:36:49 --> 00:36:49
			as you can see.
		
00:36:50 --> 00:36:51
			$25,000, any brother?
		
00:36:52 --> 00:36:52
			Okay, here, inshallah.
		
00:36:53 --> 00:36:54
			Can we, inshallah, go $10,000?
		
00:36:54 --> 00:36:56
			Can we have one brother, inshallah, to finish
		
00:36:56 --> 00:36:57
			the second floor?
		
00:36:58 --> 00:37:00
			To finish the second floor, and also start,
		
00:37:00 --> 00:37:02
			inshallah, the madrasa and the Islamic school, inshallah.
		
00:37:02 --> 00:37:03
			$10,000?
		
00:37:03 --> 00:37:03
			Any brothers?
		
00:37:04 --> 00:37:04
			Any brothers?
		
00:37:05 --> 00:37:05
			Sisters also?
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:07
			You have some volunteers?
		
00:37:07 --> 00:37:08
			$10,000, inshallah?
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:10
			It's doable for a school community?
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:12
			It is doable, inshallah.
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:14
			$10,000, inshallah?
		
00:37:15 --> 00:37:16
			Are you saying salamu alaykum?
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:18
			Okay, $10,000?
		
00:37:19 --> 00:37:21
			Bismillah, to finish up the project, inshallah.
		
00:37:22 --> 00:37:22
			$10,000?
		
00:37:23 --> 00:37:24
			Khair, inshallah.
		
00:37:24 --> 00:37:25
			We're trying to do it fast, inshallah.
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:26
			You can also stop by the office.
		
00:37:27 --> 00:37:28
			There is QR code.
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:29
			$5,000, inshallah?
		
00:37:29 --> 00:37:30
			$5,000?
		
00:37:30 --> 00:37:31
			Jazakumullah khairan.
		
00:37:31 --> 00:37:32
			Over here, brother, takbeer.
		
00:37:32 --> 00:37:33
			May Allah bless you.
		
00:37:33 --> 00:37:35
			The second one, inshallah, $5,000?
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:36
			It's doable, inshallah, brother.
		
00:37:36 --> 00:37:37
			$5,000?
		
00:37:37 --> 00:37:38
			$5,000?
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:38
			Any brother, inshallah?
		
00:37:39 --> 00:37:40
			Think about it, inshallah.
		
00:37:41 --> 00:37:42
			$5,000?
		
00:37:43 --> 00:37:43
			Bismillah.
		
00:37:44 --> 00:37:44
			$5,000?
		
00:37:45 --> 00:37:46
			Going once, going twice.
		
00:37:47 --> 00:37:48
			You don't want to raise your hands, fine,
		
00:37:48 --> 00:37:48
			but take a pledge, inshallah.
		
00:37:49 --> 00:37:51
			All right, let's go for, inshallah, $2,500.
		
00:37:51 --> 00:37:52
			$2,500, brother?
		
00:37:53 --> 00:37:53
			$2,500?
		
00:37:54 --> 00:37:55
			Alhamdulillah, we're asking.
		
00:37:55 --> 00:37:56
			We don't like to ask, but we have
		
00:37:56 --> 00:37:57
			to finish the project.
		
00:37:58 --> 00:37:58
			$2,500?
		
00:37:59 --> 00:37:59
			Any brother?
		
00:38:00 --> 00:38:02
			You have also the multipurpose hall, the sisters?
		
00:38:02 --> 00:38:02
			$2,500?
		
00:38:03 --> 00:38:04
			Khair, inshallah.
		
00:38:04 --> 00:38:06
			All right, can we go for $1,000?
		
00:38:06 --> 00:38:07
			That's very easy, inshallah.
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:09
			Bismillah, brother Abdel Malik here.
		
00:38:09 --> 00:38:10
			Jazakumullah khairan.
		
00:38:10 --> 00:38:12
			The second over here, number three and four,
		
00:38:12 --> 00:38:13
			inshallah?
		
00:38:13 --> 00:38:14
			$1,000, ikhwani?
		
00:38:14 --> 00:38:15
			Inshallah, it's doable.
		
00:38:16 --> 00:38:17
			Keep your hands up or just see one
		
00:38:17 --> 00:38:18
			of the volunteers.
		
00:38:18 --> 00:38:19
			$1,000 in the back, brother?
		
00:38:19 --> 00:38:20
			Brother Ishaq is the back.
		
00:38:22 --> 00:38:23
			$1,000, number four and five?
		
00:38:24 --> 00:38:25
			Four and five, inshallah?
		
00:38:25 --> 00:38:25
			$1,000?
		
00:38:26 --> 00:38:27
			Bismillah.
		
00:38:27 --> 00:38:27
			Four and five?
		
00:38:28 --> 00:38:28
			Jazakumullah khairan.
		
00:38:29 --> 00:38:30
			Four and five?
		
00:38:30 --> 00:38:33
			Also the sisters, you have some, inshallah, you
		
00:38:33 --> 00:38:34
			have some volunteers?
		
00:38:34 --> 00:38:35
			Four and five?
		
00:38:35 --> 00:38:36
			Bismillah.
		
00:38:36 --> 00:38:37
			Four and five?
		
00:38:37 --> 00:38:38
			$1,000, brother Arif?
		
00:38:38 --> 00:38:39
			Jazakumullah khairan.
		
00:38:39 --> 00:38:40
			Over here, volunteers?
		
00:38:40 --> 00:38:42
			Over here on the side, inshallah, brother Arif?
		
00:38:42 --> 00:38:42
			Keep your hands up.
		
00:38:43 --> 00:38:44
			All right, number five and six?
		
00:38:45 --> 00:38:46
			Five and six, inshallah?
		
00:38:46 --> 00:38:47
			It's very doable.
		
00:38:47 --> 00:38:48
			Jazakumullah khairan.
		
00:38:49 --> 00:38:50
			All right, we want to finish up the
		
00:38:50 --> 00:38:50
			project, inshallah?
		
00:38:51 --> 00:38:52
			Bismillah.
		
00:38:52 --> 00:38:54
			I know some brothers are praying sunnah, but
		
00:38:54 --> 00:38:55
			also we need to finish, inshallah, the project.
		
00:38:55 --> 00:38:58
			All right, anyways, inshallah, because time is short,
		
00:38:59 --> 00:39:01
			you can stop by the kiosk, the office,
		
00:39:01 --> 00:39:05
			to see the volunteers, inshallah, bilalameen.
		
00:39:05 --> 00:39:07
			Just go ahead and make sure, inshallah, you
		
00:39:07 --> 00:39:08
			contribute for the project.
		
00:39:08 --> 00:39:09
			Jazakumullah khairan.
		
00:39:09 --> 00:39:10
			May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless you.
		
00:39:11 --> 00:39:11
			Ameen.
