00:00:08 --> 00:00:13
			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.
