People change very slowly. Right? People, a lot of times people say,

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

Well Ramadan came and went, and I'm the same. How do you know

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

you're the same? Allah says we'll add to the CO unphysical. Don't

00:00:19 --> 00:00:24

judge yourselves. When Allah says, lead to Sacco and full circle,

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

don't judge yourselves it means don't judge others. In other

00:00:27 --> 00:00:31

words, don't judge yourselves as a gym. Don't say, Oh, he's looking

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

good. He's weak. He's flimsy. No, and don't judge your own self. You

00:00:38 --> 00:00:42

cannot judge your own self. Can you even see yourself?

00:00:43 --> 00:00:47

Listen to this analogy. Look at your look at your face right now.

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

You can't even look at your face. Think Allah made that for a

00:00:51 --> 00:00:57

reason. The only way you can look at your face is no mirror. And

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

what is our prophets I sent him say, and what minnow told

00:01:01 --> 00:01:05

movement? The believer is the mirror of the other believer.

00:01:06 --> 00:01:10

Right? What does that mean? It means you can't judge yourself.

00:01:10 --> 00:01:15

But you could aim to be like other people. Because the purpose of one

00:01:15 --> 00:01:19

of the benefits of coming to the masjid is you see better believers

00:01:19 --> 00:01:22

than yourself. That's the most important thing. Why did the

00:01:22 --> 00:01:28

prophets I sent him teach us that the eye that weeps in the private

00:01:28 --> 00:01:33

setting, earns the shade of Allah on the Day of Judgment when there

00:01:33 --> 00:01:37

is no shade except his shade? Right? I don't Beckett's Metcash

00:01:37 --> 00:01:41

it's Allah and I that weeps privately, not in front of

00:01:41 --> 00:01:46

everyone. Right? No, privately between you and Allah, you wept

00:01:46 --> 00:01:51

out of all and yearning and fear of disappointing your Lord and

00:01:51 --> 00:01:56

your maker. But then, so we know now that the private worship is

00:01:56 --> 00:02:00

better than public worship. It is superior. But then why do we see

00:02:00 --> 00:02:04

the prophets I said, I'm always saying, pray in the masjid. Go to

00:02:04 --> 00:02:07

the masjid. Make your a bed in the messenger. Why? Because there's

00:02:07 --> 00:02:11

another benefit. Another wisdom and that is you will see better

00:02:11 --> 00:02:16

people than yourselves. When you come here you see someone who's

00:02:16 --> 00:02:20

praying sunnah better than you the in that way he reflects your

00:02:20 --> 00:02:24

defect. That's how a moment is the mirror of another moment. Right?

00:02:24 --> 00:02:28

You can't see your own face except through a mirror. When I see a

00:02:28 --> 00:02:34

believer who is humble, and I feel like I'm always arrogant. I

00:02:34 --> 00:02:38

learned from him I can tell right away he's not like me. He's better

00:02:38 --> 00:02:43

than me. Right? He's better than me. When I went Sr. Same thing

00:02:43 --> 00:02:47

when they look at each other and see each other. They realize this

00:02:47 --> 00:02:49

person after every Maghrib

00:02:50 --> 00:02:54

he's praying Sooners and making dua and to smear me on the other

00:02:54 --> 00:03:00

hand I salaam out before everyone's done, son I'm jumping

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

gun. Why is that? Why am I different? He's, he's better than

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

me. So you start imitating other people who are doing better this

00:03:07 --> 00:03:13

is how minimal the believer is the mirror for the other believer

00:03:23 --> 00:03:28

so now live interview pilot. He is He was asked what is the greatest

00:03:28 --> 00:03:33

of Allah's creation. He began for saying the mountain. Then he said

00:03:33 --> 00:03:36

iron is stronger than a mountain because iron can break a mountain.

00:03:37 --> 00:03:41

a chisel and a hammer can break up a mountain. Then he said

00:03:42 --> 00:03:48

fire is stronger than iron. Because fire can melt iron. Then

00:03:48 --> 00:03:51

water is stronger than fire because water could put out fire.

00:03:52 --> 00:03:56

But wind is stronger than water because what when comes upon water

00:03:56 --> 00:03:57

blows it away.
