People change very slowly. Right? People, a lot of times people say,
Well Ramadan came and went, and I'm the same. How do you know
you're the same? Allah says we'll add to the CO unphysical. Don't
judge yourselves. When Allah says, lead to Sacco and full circle,
don't judge yourselves it means don't judge others. In other
words, don't judge yourselves as a gym. Don't say, Oh, he's looking
good. He's weak. He's flimsy. No, and don't judge your own self. You
cannot judge your own self. Can you even see yourself?
Listen to this analogy. Look at your look at your face right now.
You can't even look at your face. Think Allah made that for a
reason. The only way you can look at your face is no mirror. And
what is our prophets I sent him say, and what minnow told
movement? The believer is the mirror of the other believer.
Right? What does that mean? It means you can't judge yourself.
But you could aim to be like other people. Because the purpose of one
of the benefits of coming to the masjid is you see better believers
than yourself. That's the most important thing. Why did the
prophets I sent him teach us that the eye that weeps in the private
setting, earns the shade of Allah on the Day of Judgment when there
is no shade except his shade? Right? I don't Beckett's Metcash
it's Allah and I that weeps privately, not in front of
everyone. Right? No, privately between you and Allah, you wept
out of all and yearning and fear of disappointing your Lord and
your maker. But then, so we know now that the private worship is
better than public worship. It is superior. But then why do we see
the prophets I said, I'm always saying, pray in the masjid. Go to
the masjid. Make your a bed in the messenger. Why? Because there's
another benefit. Another wisdom and that is you will see better
people than yourselves. When you come here you see someone who's
praying sunnah better than you the in that way he reflects your
defect. That's how a moment is the mirror of another moment. Right?
You can't see your own face except through a mirror. When I see a
believer who is humble, and I feel like I'm always arrogant. I
learned from him I can tell right away he's not like me. He's better
than me. Right? He's better than me. When I went Sr. Same thing
when they look at each other and see each other. They realize this
person after every Maghrib
he's praying Sooners and making dua and to smear me on the other
hand I salaam out before everyone's done, son I'm jumping
gun. Why is that? Why am I different? He's, he's better than
me. So you start imitating other people who are doing better this
is how minimal the believer is the mirror for the other believer
so now live interview pilot. He is He was asked what is the greatest
of Allah's creation. He began for saying the mountain. Then he said
iron is stronger than a mountain because iron can break a mountain.
a chisel and a hammer can break up a mountain. Then he said
fire is stronger than iron. Because fire can melt iron. Then
water is stronger than fire because water could put out fire.
But wind is stronger than water because what when comes upon water
blows it away.
