My
announcement before we start class, everyone should buy this
book. It comes like this or comes in a black hardcover, which is,
you know, in case, you know, something happens a hardcover.
Okay. So this is basically a glossary of every word in the
Quran. And you read it word by word, and it gives you the
examples on that home. The first word is, well actually Of course,
Arabic has three types of word.
A fat, which is a verb, which is a word that has past present and
future or command. And then you have an ism, which is a word that
does not has meaning but has no relation to time, which we would
call a noun, and then it has a how to
how to four very important how to four very important how to is
basically a particle with they call it a particle. So the first
one is LF with a hems on top and a FET.
And the meaning of it is it is a particle that asks a question. So
if you put up in front of any past tense verb, or have any verb at
all, past or present muddy metadata, it makes that verb a
question. So,
Shiva, he drank as sediba. Did he drink? Right?
The hep two
or the hep death you went? At the Hepta did you go? Okay.
Febi near Mati lay by the blessing of Allah. Ah Ha Joon. They reject
the blessing of Allah.
FRB Nam, Atilla he has had one is it the blessing of Allah that they
reject? This is the first entry of the dictionary. The letter LF with
a Fatah on top, and it is a particle that you place in front
of any verb. Okay?
Front of any verb, or even a noun. For example, you could say
a man Shut up. Did you drink water? Is it water that you drink?
Right? At tomberlin Delta? Is it dates that you ate? Okay, so you
learn a lot just reading this one word at a time. And the Messiah,
the gret. The best mache of lava of language. Used to be the
Egyptians used to be the Egyptians but it's now the Mauritanians for
example, Al Jazeera and Qatar. All of the guys who checked the
manuscript, the script before it's put up in front of the
broadcaster, they're all shut up to Mauritanians. Okay, Martina is
the British word. Okay, Sean Kate is their word Shan pizza. They're
called so Nakata. And what do they say?
They say that people study grammar, where they should be
studying vocabulary first. It's vocab memorize words first, by
memorizing words. All right, you pick the grammar becomes easy. So
everyone should take this book and study it one word at a time. Okay.
And this is how Malcolm X studied? Was it sure
you can buy it on Amazon for $7 Before you leave the building
today, you should have ordered it $7 And you probably can, you can
lose $7 If you have $7 of cash, you probably lose it. Okay, before
you spend it. So $7 I mean, this is basically it's for free.
Anything $7 Today's for free. Basically.
This is class number 10. I believe and we're although we are
scheduled to split the class, we're not splitting the class
today into fifth because
Mufti can't make it today. So we're gonna split the class next
week. And we're just doing full class of two so with
him and I thought tonight, today, this is class number 10. I believe
class classes one through eight are on the YouTube. Some of them
are in audio, and some are in video. And as you'll see, the
video is going to get better with class number nine, Mashallah. We
give thanks to Allah azza wa jal, then the people who made it happen
that we now have a new camera. We're very tech savvy. Right now.
We have a new camera, we have a new little live stream thing.
Okay? This class is not live stream, but everything else is.
Okay. So we thank Allah for that the class as you're going to see
the video is going to be much better. We have a new soundpack
all this is the funnel of Allah azza wa jal and that Sophia can
the baraka and the DA of the people
always have coffee.
So, this is class number two, we're basically on one chapter a
week. If you notice, we're doing one chapter a week. Class numbers
one through eight are online nine will go online soon. And this is
10. The subject is a fucker. Before we get to that, two weeks
ago about we emailed out a little chart,
a little chart that contains six or five, sorry, five
gauges,
we need to gauge or a bad if we care about something.
We gauge it.
We measure it. If you
if you ride a bike, there's no gauges, right? There's no gauge on
a bike.
If you're walking there, no gauges. Of course, if you have a
bike, there's just that one five speed bike, right? Or a 10 speed.
If you have a car though.
You have how many gauges? You have? You got the oil? You got the
temperature, you got the rpm, and you got the miles per hour mph.
Okay, you have more gauges, you have drive reverse neutral. Right?
Overdrive.
So you have more gauges. If you have a car or an airplane.
How many gauges Do you have?
It's like, you don't even you can't even count how many edges
you have. If you have a shuttle up in space, you have a whole room
full of gauges. Right? So the more serious people take a matter, the
more gauges there are. Okay? Now think about how serious people are
about their finances. Okay, how many gauges people have people who
are serious about Of course, if you're like a normal person, like
most of us, there's one gauge is there enough money to get through
this month or not? That's like one gauge, basically, one check is
coming in. And it's going to five different places. That's one
gauge. That's it, okay. But people who are serious about their
financial situation, they have a lot of gauges, their portfolio is
diversified, they have a bank account for college, a bank
account for retirement, a bank account for a monthly expenses,
and maybe savings for their vacation and their entertainment
or whatever, okay? And then their for their investment portfolio,
their investment or investing in one thing, no one invested all
their money in one thing, their investment may be in seven things,
okay? And then they have revenue streams. All right, they got the
job and they got the house that they rent out, then they got
whatever that is bringing them monthly revenue. Then with all
this, you have to have years ago gauges, you got to know how my pay
is account on all these different things. How am I going to do that?
So you see, the more seriously you take the issue of money and
advance in the issue of money. You're gonna have mortgages.
But you take someone in the matter of deed,
and he's doesn't really care. Right? He can't even tell you what
his gauges are. Right? What is his gauges? He doesn't even tell you?
Well, yeah, I pray Joma. Right. I pray when I can write I don't do
the huddle. I mean, maybe has three gauges, you can have the
most sophisticated guy.
Okay, sophisticated guy, a professional, someone say oh my
gosh, if he walks in, we have to stop the class and stand up for
him. Right?
But sometimes in matters of Dean, he doesn't take it seriously ask
him what are your gauges? I pray him did I give charity I pay my
Zika he's done. He's happy. I've met some people like this. I met
people like this I spent on the matter of their dunya he may have
a staff of 20 people, a staff of 200 people in his company in the
matter of his dunya ask him to gauge his of your religious life.
He says will lie if I pray five times a day. If I listen to a
lecture a week and I say a one would have done night I'm happy
I'm good. So your gauge of your dunya asking me to summarize
summarize your dunya your company for me, bro, that's gonna take two
years, two weeks for you to understand my company. But I've
only understood your religious life and one sentence in two
seconds. So what you care about, you have many gauges and you
monitor many things because you care about it. Ask a regular guy
like us like another example.
How do you what do you do to keep healthy? Some people have no
gauges. They don't care about it. Okay, other people I saw
I'm eating at this hour. And I do one exercise a day. He has to
gauges to stay healthy. But ask the guy who looks like a
sculpture. Okay. Tell me about right your fitness standards. He
needs a book to tell you for I do calf's at Tuesday at three
o'clock. Okay? All right. And he's got gauges, he's, he works out
he's got a schedule for muscles you don't know exists. Okay? Like
the little muscle in the side here. Okay. stuff you don't know
exists. He's got a gauge for it.
So we're gonna start with our, with our spirits. And though that
will Yeah, I have gauges like, it's they got assistance. There
was one of the older of Egypt, okay. He had a thing about his
food, he would not eat anyone's food, his thought he was so
serious in India, his daughter as an assistant, to check what he's
actually eating. Okay? There are a lot of subtleties in the matter. A
lot of subtleties in the matter.
Let me give you one subtlety, your night and your sleep
in the matter of two, so for some people, their sleep is out of
whack. And the issue of sleep is related to two things, you can't
just tackle sleep. Okay, you can't just tackle sleep. Sleep is
related to two things, your sugar and caffeine intake, and your
online presence and your screen time. If these two things go late
in the day, then and you're worried about sleep, you're gonna
fail, you set yourself up to fail. So in fact, if you're serious
about the issue of sleeping at a regular hour, which is very
important for the next gauge, which is Fudger. Right. So you see
how you have to keep going back, you realize that if you're very
serious about Fudger, then you have to be as serious about sleep.
If you're going to be serious about sleep, you got to be serious
about the issue of sugar, caffeine intake, and screen time, because
it's proven that these two things, they need to actually stop way
earlier than you have ever imagined. If you really want to
dominate the subject, the issue of sleeping on time, sleeping at a
regular hour, right and getting good sleep. Because the car needs
good sleep, you can't be half alert, in order liquor. So people
are even saying you're going into five, six and seven o'clock, when
you actually need to start your preparations for fetcher.
Okay, your first stop is sleeping on time. So around between the
hours of five and seven is when everyone's different, right? You
need to actually eliminate and cut down or just close up shop on
caffeine, sugar and screen time.
Is you see how serious this matter is. It's not a joke. When you see
a worldly of Allah azza wa jal and you look at his life is very
simple. What does he do? He's praying and fasting. Oh, he's so
simple. Okay, then why is only like one out of a million people
doing it. If it's that easy. It's not that easy. It is not that
easy. It's something that looks so simple. So it looks so simple.
Like, you take one of
a bodybuilder, what's he doing? He's lifting weights. That's all
it is. That's it. That's a big deal. And don't eat certain
things.
Every million, right? Why are we all failing in this subject? If
it's that simple, it looks simple. It's not simple. It takes a lot of
effort. Right? And there are gauges, there are certain things
you didn't even think were things that mattered, but they mattered.
The you don't never think that your cigarette intake, caffeine
and screentime affect your spirituality. People never
imagined it. It's a huge deal.
Just like eating bagels for a bodybuilder, you won't find them
eating a bagel, right? There's just bread. Basically, you're not
going to find him eating certain foods. You're like that's a big
deal. Of course, it's a big deal. How much water you drink is a big
deal. So as we advance in draw near to Allah azza wa jal, our war
is with our bad habits. It's our war. Right? And you we are up
ended. Okay, we are upended by our bad habits. Okay. And just like in
bodybuilding, everyone's different and everyone has a different body
type. Likewise, you have a different knifes type, your knifes
is different. Some people, the issue of sleep is not a big deal.
It's just not a problem. Food is a problem. Others food is not a
problem, sleep is a problem. So this is where the involvement of
the shift comes evolved, right? Because your body type is
different. So your trainer will help you with that your neffs is
different. So your shift will help you with that. Okay, and there are
certain things that are common for everyone. All that is a preamble
to give us to alert us to the chart that was emailed out to
Everyone please raise your hand if you did not get the chart
okay if you did not get the chart put your email here
okay so on the other side if you did not get the this chart is a
very simple chart that gauges our Quran or SFR our Salah
in the masajid our thicker and what was the other one
we said the Quran is oh are thicker
thicker okay five simple gauges every day there should be at
register activity on these gauges and that's why
there are three options we gave a very simple option
that if the end of the day came and you didn't do any of these you
have a very simple option to plug in there. Okay very simple option
alright so we should be really we should we got to work this is the
real work. The OMA doesn't do this work anymore what lay the OMA
doesn't take spiritual work seriously. This is why we're in
the status that we're in. Our OMA does not take spiritual work
seriously. And one of the mosaics
of the Chishti today. He made a statement and he said the pride of
the Marine, the pride of the moon eat. Okay Are his charts.
This is his proof in front of Allah azza wa jal, his charts.
Okay. Your charts? Where are your charts? This shift? You say? Where
are your charts? You should have piles of paper, right? We're
keeping your charts your log? When did I do wrong? When did I do
certain actions? Okay, you should have piles of this. Just like I
mean the workout guys, they got books.
There was a mag a monthly magazine I saw the other day for abs. How
much can you talk about the subject? What is there to say?
Right? Because I don't know, I don't have knowledge. So they
might have a whole issue on I don't know, the side parts, or
rice or something? Or foods? Who knows? Right? They have a lot to
say. And I'm thinking Subhanallah Oh, whole magazine on abs, okay.
different exercises different things. Because if you care about
something, you will develop a lot of information on it. And it
develops into a whole institution.
not so different from the NBA. What is it? What's going on? Two
people competing on putting the ball in the hoop. So simple. But
no, if you keep focusing on it, it develops Okay, into a huge
industry. Sorry, an industry I should say not institution
industry.
So now we're on the subject of
poverty.
Poverty.
The poverty that we're talking about here is any need normal need
or a dependency or a desired matter that is not fulfilled or
men.
Okay, this is what poverty is.
Lest you have a shallow view of poverty, that it is merely the
poverty of wealth.
However,
the poverty from wealth is not to be dismissed either. Okay. The
poverty from wealth. Okay, the poverty from wealth is the fastest
route
is the left lane of poverty. Okay, so you have many lanes, there are
many types of poverty. So let's say Allah bless you with wealth,
my husband's rich, what am I supposed to do? So I can have
poverty, ask him to become a farmer or a plumber? No.
There are other types of poverty that can get you to where our
desired goal is. But the poverty of wealth is the left lane. People
in the left lane, they're gonna get there faster than you. Okay,
but you can also get there. Does it mean the middle and the right
and the middle lanes won't get there. So this is a very important
thing when we talk about fat bots. Actually, the translation of FATCA
to poverty is not even correct. A FATCA is a lack
a diminishment in something that we need.
What are the things that we need? They're outlined in the Quran
surah Quraysh. outlines the two major needs that if they're
fulfilled, you shouldn't really complain. Okay, what are they?
Right? Allah the uttama home endure, man human health. He
satiated them from
Hunger and he secured them from fear. So having food and security
are two of the fundamental needs. Because everything here is going
to come from the Quran. Watch
what is the next to above these fundamental needs? Okay, so your
your food, you got food in your stomach guaranteed everyday and
you got a house to live in.
Are you done? No, no, you're not done. You're surviving. That's it.
What other things that people need? Allah subhana wa Tada says,
editing Malou well venioone Xena to heighten dunya. Now I want you
have life. food and security equals life.
Now you need a good life. Allah defines it as wealth, and
children. Okay?
wealth and children.
Then insurance will care if you get something on top of that. So
what is wealth do wealth makes me relaxed, and makes me have a nicer
house. You don't want to have just to like a little dingy apartment.
You want to have a nice house right? With room prophesy. centum
said, if Allah gives you wealth, make your living space for your
family vast. This is very important. Some people think that
we're not supposed to spend on having a big home. Well, it's
actually the sooner why. If you have a small house, and you have
many kids, okay, you're going to be upset eventually, that there's
no space, there's no. So where's your kid's gonna go? He's gonna
leave the house to get some peace of mind. So Allah Azza, the
province I sent him said, if Allah gives you money, make your house
big, why it will protect your family, then he doesn't need to
leave the house to get his objective. He doesn't need to
leave the house to get away from his sister. He doesn't need to
leave the house to get some peace and quiet. Right? His house is big
enough for you to be over there. And me to be over here and we can
live happily. Right. So in fact, having a bigger house.
It keeps the family together. But at the same time, there are some
other issues with the big house. But that's not the point of it at
men would have been one is.
So next we go to a third tier, which we come in soon as in KEF.
Okay. Allah azza wa jal tells us about two men. Okay, one was poor,
and one was rich. How does Allah describe the rich man? He
describes the rich man as looking down on the other farmer by saying
I have more friends, and more streams. Okay, that means his farm
brings more crops. And I have more friends, more kids. All right.
Well, as soon as I have more friends than you. So what's the
third layer? The third layer is not just one revenue stream, a
second and a third and a fourth revenue stream. Now you're making
a lot more every month. So more revenue is a big difference
between revenue streams and wealth. Right? income and wealth
is totally different, right? I mean, you inherit 10 $100,000,
what is the smart thing to do? Okay, take 10,000 for yourself,
now use 90 to produce another monthly revenue stream for
yourself. There's a big difference in income and wealth. So now he
has more revenue streams coming in. And as soon as I have more
friends than you
and I will make commando as to whether the right
I have not only more friends, more influential friends. So what are
we outlining here? So we don't get distracted? We're outlining. If
poverty is the lack of things, the Quran, Allah is telling us what
makes a human being
happy and lofty and glorious, because poverty will be the
removal of these things. Okay, so the third street level have a
great life. Now you went from life, good life, great life, is
that I have more revenue coming in from many places, and I have more
friends who are also influential.
This is the highest level you're gonna get to. Okay, multiple
revenue streams, and many influential friends. Now, you're
like a kink. You're like a king. You're walking around. No one
you're untouchable. The way you walk, you can tell that this
person is a certain way just to just walking the way you walk.
Okay.
Now, when Allah azza wa jal
wishes to draw some
To push someone away from him,
away from him, what does he do? He fills the meter of all of these
things to the top. This person will never have problems in life
and therefore, okay they will never turn to Allah. But if Allah
azza wa jal wants you to turn to him,
What will he do? He will begin removing something from one of
these.
So that if Allah wants you to do a job in this world, let's say Allah
azza wa jal has put you in a position, strong position. He
wants you to have certain things he wants you to do a certain job.
How can you tell me? How can you do a job when you're hungry?
Right? How can you do a job when you're hungry?
How can you do a job when you're thinking about? Where's my next
paycheck coming from? Okay? But how does Allah still get to you,
he can still get you on your knees by going to the next levels of
Okay, the next level up,
which we said Xena to add to dunya el mal, well, balloon problem with
your kids. Problem with your home or your car. It's ugly, because I
don't have enough money to fix it or clean it or paint the house.
Okay. And if Allah wills that you have those, you can go up to the
next one problem with influential people. Yes, you have wealth. You
have beautiful kids a beautiful home, but influential people now
are against you. This is a problem. This puts you on your
knees. Right?
Or what is the other one said multiple revenue streams? Right?
So now, yes, you have but you don't have that much. Okay? You
only have you're barely okay. So
when we look at poverty, and we look at the word fair cots, you
gotta know that Allah azza wa jal can get us in any of these. And
when trials come in any of these, all right, it should be an impetus
for us to get on our knees and draw near to Allah. Because we
will find solace in a bed in the vicar. You find solace in obeying
Allah and an advancing and worship, okay, in advancing and
worship, you will find solace that will cure your heart from the
pains of when Allah azza wa jal removes or when we shouldn't
attribute that to Allah or when the these things are removed from
our lives. Okay, this is the equation remove from the human
being one of these six things, okay. And he will have pain in his
heart. The only thing that will fill this void is turning back to
Allah. Okay.
The fastest route we said is the lower you go the faster the route.
So food and security
will Rudolfo cardi is doing moody Dean, you see now how to solve
teaches us in the Quran teaches us really?
What is happiness and greatness of life?
And what is the impact of the removal? So he says here will rule
the party. Don't worry, Dean.
When the state of need arrives, this is the feast.
This is that celebration of the Marines, the secrets of Allah.
Okay, this is celebration.
Why is that?
You should feel honored.
You should feel honored.
When you by yourself. We gave this example. If you by yourself, run
as fast as you can, you're going to run at a certain speed. Okay.
But if a German Shepherd is running behind you to eat you,
you're going to run at a faster speed. Right? It'll be faster.
Okay, and you won't even know you're doing it. This is the
beauty of it.
You want to run and test yourself run.
Okay, you're thinking about it, you're conscious of it, and you're
not going to be as fast. But if there's a cheetah behind you or a
German Shepherd, you're going to be moving and the beauty of it
you're faster and you're not conscious of it. Remember what we
said about worship before that great worship is ruined by what?
Being conscious of it, right? When you witness yourself doing
worship, you're ruining your worship. Right? When you witness
even shake up the rock Manisha hurry of Syria.
Cut this Hello, Sir solo. He passed away recently passed away
before all the calamity of Syria began so much so that people
noticed it. And they said it may have been that Allah was
preserving
Syria just for him, as Allah doesn't want him to see harm. So
he went until he died then all the calamity came upon Syria. Allah
knows best but some of the people say that right?
Up there Manisha Rudy was asked, what is the value of reading even
audibly. People always talk badly of an RV, and even the machete if
say, don't read them in audibly, you'll be confused. But up to 100,
Manisha who was very keen on reading of anatomy, teaching
empanada V and quoting of anatomy. So they said to him, why do you do
this when even the other shakes of America? They all say don't read
anatomy, you'll be confused, because it is things that confuse
you.
So he said number one, I'll tell you why it's confusing. It is
confusing because some of the terminologies he uses may be
terminology of that time, which is no longer in use, or it's his own
terminology, which we don't know. So if we don't know what the term
means we get confused. That's number one. Number two people cite
of
sentence of anatomy they don't give you what's before and what's
after. So that's why it looks like the same but something confusing
or wrong. But I insist on teaching even audibly because when a li of
Allah azza wa jal is attacked, and you're defending him. Right?
Right. Your rank increases
right when there's what they call life coughing, is a special
thicker there's a special vicar
that has greater weight than other thicker like what Victrola
filosofi if you prayed right now the hood forced on us then the her
than the chest we then to Sooners. How many rockers Okay, Sandra cuz
plus tend to be great. But if you were forced to go to some wedding
of heedlessness and an alpha, and all these weddings are all
problematic now.
And all your family's talking rubbish. And everyone's talking
rubbish. And you're just there because you have to be there and
you're going to leave soon anyway because we should the Sunnah of
these wedding invitations, if you have to go for family purposes.
You go, you show your face and you smile at everyone. Show them your
teeth as well. Then as soon as the Flash come you go, you leave. And
even if they say oh, if I leave, they're gonna go crazy. Fine, go
to the bathroom. Right? Go to the bathroom. Go take a walk outside.
Go get something from your car.
All right, keep yourself busy somehow. But don't go into that
hall with all this fashion that your children are watching you.
Okay, your children are watching you if you're not fear Allah, fear
the influence of this on your children. Your children see you
doing that you've just negated everything else that you've done
in your life. Because they see you Oh, yeah, all this is talk all the
dean is talk because when push comes to shove, and you have to be
there, you're there like everyone else. You acting like a facet like
everyone else, no sacrifice. Okay. So when you're there, and you
steal away, and you find the place to place a lot of Maghrib
okay.
This Salah is more valuable in the sight of Allah than another salah.
Even if all you're able to do is three rock as and you can't even
focus because it's so loud. But in the sight of Allah this is greater
because the effort to do it was greater. Okay, after doing it was
greater. So the vicar of Allah filosofi need the Corolla
philosophy. So
we were saying here, I sort of lost track where we got to, but
oh, so yes. So whenever Lee is attacked, the defender of that
when he immediately is elevated, no matter what happens, no matter
who he is. Take examples the prophesy Saddam who are the
greatest of Sahaba
who are the greatest Sahaba the first ones when the Prophet was
attacked? Any amount of vinyasa? Is his worship greater than any
other person's worship? Now we can tell you that there are people of
the second and the third and the fourth generation whose worship is
more than a Mata vinyasa, the knowledge of amount of vinyasa.
Is it greater? I can tell you that Abu Hanifa has wrote more, and
said more than I might have been. Yes. The service of Amara and yes,
we could tell you, I'm reppin alas and Khalid bin Walid did greater
service to the Ummah than Amara vinyasa. But when we list the
Sahaba, who is at the top amount of vinyasa is greater than all
these people. Why is that? Why is his wife his mother? Sumaiya and
his father? Yes Him above all of the other Sahaba that we met
Khalid bin Walid is above all of these people. Okay, why is that?
Because they came to the defense of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam when the Prophet was being attacked. Okay, Rob was
minister, so when a prophet or what Lee is being attacked, this
is the fastest route to a permanent MACOM with that belief
and therefore with Allah azza wa jal, okay, when he's under attack,
this is the greatest level. Okay when you're in to support us. So
Sheikh Abdullah, Manisha, I've already said, I insist on Ivanovic
because he's attacked, so I want to give him victory. Okay, today
just to give you information, the relief that is under attack that
you must give victory to is has an abundance. He is a really is out
of Billa. He has keramat he has people testifying to his widow,
okay. He has all this his followers were Prophet ISIS and
Medea, they messed up the doctrine really fast, didn't they? Prophet
Musa in his own life, they were messing it up, right?
In his own life, so it should not come as a surprise to you that
when a li of Allah who is less than a messenger or a prophet, his
followers go awry, right, mess up his mission message and
misrepresent him. Is Moses represented properly? Is Jesus
represented properly? So no one should say well look at his
followers, you can call him a really look at his followers. Why
does he fix them? Or when he is not judged by his followers?
Right. So his followers in his lifetime, were already doing wrong
things that he disapproved of. Okay. So hasn't been is one of
these people that you can feast on having a place with him on you?
How do you know here not might not be your intercessor on Yamaka
you'll be in trouble. But you did him a favor in front of everyone
when everyone else is cursing him. All the founder of the Muslim
Brotherhood, it's hassle Banda is Abdul Wahab hasn't been saved
could have been Latin, ISIS. That's the chain of transmission
that the kofod have made. Right? Okay.
So we say, okay, you have to defend him. He should be defended.
This the smart one defends him, you go straight up with him. Okay.
Second thing, the whole point of what we got to this is why Chicago
manager who is protecting Fibonacci, and teaching him and he
said, The second reason I teach Fibonacci, okay, is that even
Adobe says, if you are praying, and you witness yourself praying,
and you realize that other people are watching you pray, then make
the intention that your prayer is an encouragement to them
to pray and make the intention that when people see others
praying, they get inspired and make the intention that the youth
see you the Shabaab see you praying, therefore, they'll take
an example from you, right, therefore, you have converted
something which was possibly showing off into being a good
deed. And he said, where other book will you find this knowledge?
What other book has is knowledge other than the books of anatomy?
Who else goes that deep into a matter and gives you a problem
that is actually a solution to a problem that is actually happening
all the time. Right? I never used to read Quran now I'm reading
Quran, but now I realized Everyone's looking at me while I'm
reading Quran so my bad becomes real. Showing off even audibly
gave you the solution and the medicine he said make your
intention that you're an example for others. Okay, make an
intention that yes, if they do see you let them see you. Okay,
hopefully they will also improve and think to themselves to to do
so. And this is one of the secrets what again this you only find this
in the books that are added to solve one of the secrets of
praying and Gemma you will not see many people give you the reason
why prophets I seldom say Salah in JAMA is 27 times better than any
other Salah another Hadith 25 times better than prayer but at
home. Okay, so some of the automat and they'll say well it's because
so that you could say salaam to people, you get more reward.
There's another hidden reason. The more you go and pray and Gemma,
you expose yourself to seeing to witnessing other people who are
praying better than you who are dressed better than you who are
cautious in religion more than you, right. Who are doing more
than you and over time you start emulating them. Okay, you start
emulating them. Okay, there was a member of the Morocco and they
said to him, so and so never
prays in the masjid he will never pray in the masjid. He doesn't
even pray. Okay. And the challenge. There were some Imams
shifts talking amongst each other. So I challenge anyone to get him
in the message to pray and start praying in the masjid. So one
shift took up the challenge and he felt he said didn't work. Another
shift took up the challenge, okay. So he said, I got him praying in
the masjid. Alright, so they said, Okay, let's all go. So they went
up to the mountain. This is a famous chief is the chief of the
tribe in Morocco, in the mountains. And he refused to bring
them as they said, if we can get him to pray in the masjid, the
whole tribal friend msgid. Right. That's how tribal systems work. So
he came down and said, I got imprinted in the masjid. So
they said, Okay, let's go, look. They got up there. They saw there
were so and so is in the bathroom. Okay. He's an outhouse there
waited for him. The guy came out of the outhouse. Back then you had
the outhouses one place. They didn't have faucets in the
outhouse. Okay.
Then went off. He went from the outhouse to the masjid.
He didn't take his boots off. He walked with his boots into the
masjid, onto the straw mats. And he stood in the line for the
prayer. He slammed out and he walked out. Okay. They said, Hold
on. He never made will do. And he's praying with his boots on.
He said to them, Look, you guys said let's get him in the masjid.
I got him in the masjid. You guys work on the window. Okay, you get
him to take make will do and take his boots off. But he's smart.
You're gonna come in the masjid. Like many bad people, they start
coming to the masjid. Just being here in a good message. Okay, in
any messages that has has righteous people and scholarship
and knowledge. You will fix yourself. Just by default. You'll
fix yourself. Okay? Like anyone who gets involved in any industry,
just get your foot in the door. Everything else will work its way
itself out. So you'll start he's eventually going to make will do
someone's going to tell him he's gonna see everyone else doing it.
Okay, he's gonna take his boots off eventually. So just get in the
door. Okay. So this is the wisdom of these people how they took
things one step at a time. So this is why if an RV is red, this is a
shake up Dr. Manisha hurry telling us that when we increase the again
we go back to what we were saying originally.
Being conscious of yourself is very likely to occur when you're
doing a bad from yourself when you're doing a bad from yourself.
But when you're doing a bad fleeing from pain caused by loss,
you're so busy focusing on curing this pain in your chest, that you
won't even be conscious of yourself. Okay, you won't even
realize you're doing so much. And I've seen we've all seen it. We've
all seen amazing people go on Hajj. Right. His whole mind is
thinking of the drama that he's in the tribulation that he's in.
Okay, he doesn't realize he's being honored right now. That
Allah is elevating him right now. The Olia will be congratulating
him.
Because again, when you do draw near to Allah because of a
tribulation,
you're a better is faster, stronger, and you're not conscious
of yourself. Whereas if you're doing it from yourself, it's never
going to be as strong you're going to stop when you feel like
stopping. Okay, you're gonna stop when you feel like you're
exhausted. And you'll be conscious of yourself. The art teacher said
is the difference between freshly squeezing and orange and drinking
the juice and getting orange drink. Right? Or like
one of these sun up or whatever, this this sunny day, which is
orange drink flavored orange juice versus the real thing. So the real
thing comes to you when trial comes to you. Tribulation and we
outlined for those who came late the six things in the Quran that
make life good life great life.
What makes life Alright, enough food to live and cover over your a
roof over your head? So let's crush
certainly SAP what's a good life? Right? el mal will balloon more
money and kids. If you have kids, okay, if you have good kids,
you'll see that this is a big, big gift from Allah azza wa jal,
especially someone who has bits. If you have bents, even in a
dream, even sitting says to see a girl in a dream means Rama.
Girls, if you see having a daughter and a dream if you have a
daughter, this is a sign of it.
OCMA because girls, they love their dad. They show affection to
their dad. Right? And their mom, you realize Subhanallah is wiped
away all my upsetness I was upset about things. I even forgot about
it. Even kids when they're no good, there are Annamma for you.
Like an okay girl, a girl is a blessing, not when she vomits at
2am is not a blessing, right? No, it is a blessing. It keeps you too
busy to be upset about other things, you will forget about
being upset about certain things. If so, and so upset you at the
job. When you come home, and your kid has two hours of homework, you
got to deal with him. You forget about the job, right? They keep
you too busy. To think of your grief. Kids are big. Now. Of
course if you don't raise them, well they become a Nygma. Okay,
and become a tribulation for you. Okay, so
the next level of good life is Alma Xuyen an
L merval. Balloon. Now what makes a great life, the man of Surah,
two calf he said I have more rivers and I have more friends.
Right? That means I have multiple ways of getting income, multiple
income sources, not just one, multiple income revenue sources,
plus many influential friends. As Zuna. Farah, I have more glorious
and more powerful friends. Okay, more powerful friends. So
if any, if you have powerful friends,
how is Allah gonna test you? Right? They get upset at you.
Right? Or you have powerful enemies. Right? They scare you.
Okay, so this is it. We're Rudolfo cardi is the moody Dean, you got
to understand where this is coming from when health is lost, don't
the Marine and the intelligence Sufi does not look at the nature
of the test and tried to get rid of it. But look at the reason
Allah is testing you is to draw you back. Okay.
Let's look at the next hikma. We're going to finish this chapter
inshallah today.
Obama were jet terminal mozzie the filter party mulata Jeju Sami,
what salah. This is very
obvious. Sometimes you will find more benefit in your states of
need than you find in your fasting and your prayer. You spent a
summer exerting yourself fasting and praying.
And the next summer
whenever the biller Jonnie Allah protect us, have you done Allah?
Your wife gets cancer.
In which summer are you closer to Allah?
Right? When your family member gets cancer, you're on your knees
every day without realizing it. And you worship without a
schedule, you will notice you do not do a better with the schedule,
right? Like we said earlier, an Olympic racer is going to practice
from nine to five. But if there's a dog behind him, he's running
now. Not a schedule, right? If you I was talking to a brother the
other day, his wife got cancer and died some two years back. He said
that changed my life. Because I would feel the pain in my chest so
badly that I would race
to the nearest Muslim I saw and ask him his dog.
behavior. That's crazy. No one who behaved like this. But when you're
in pain, you behave like this, right? You behave like this, I
would race, okay, to the nearest quiet spot and read it from the
prayer book. Read from the prayer book, just pick it up and reading.
This is not something that you would ever scheduled to do. Okay,
from so much pain he had in his chest, whatever money he had, he'd
give us setup. Okay, anything, he would give anything as setup. So
he was doing so much, but his mind was on the tribulation, which
actually protected him from ever realizing how much he's doing.
Right? You realize how much he's doing? And that changed his life.
Okay, now he's in charge of one of the huge masajid in America. He's
in charge, Allah gave him a job. When you do well, Allah gives you
a job. Okay? When you prove yourself Allah gives you a job.
Okay? Allah gives you a job and one of the signs that Allah gives
you a job is that he establishes you in that job. Right? He makes
you fit for that job and without any effort. Okay, so this is why
He says you will find in tribulation, spiritual advancement
that you don't find in your own worship. Okay? However though,
there's a trick. You can't just sit around waiting for me to be
tested. Let me wait until Allah tests me. Then I'll advance No.
Allah purify
eyes. The people who have thought that you were trying beforehand,
then Elijah, a you can't wait until when the playoff comes.
We'll go for the championship. You got to make the playoffs first.
You got to make the playoffs right. So the regular season is
peacetime the Reds the regular season, you got to make the
playoffs right. In the Mamta and Allahu Kulu Bahama taqwa, Allah
purifies the hearts of the pious. That means in peacetime, when
everything is good, you're working, you're trying to
eliminate haram, you're trying to do better. Then Allah chooses you,
and he tests you. When Allah chose Moses, that Allah choose, when did
Allah choose Moses and how, how and when
Prophet Musa alayhis salam
is a prince doesn't know his identity. He learned that he's a
Hebrew. How did he react when he learned he was a Hebrew? He began
sympathizing with them, doing good towards them. He began trying to
tell the people stop whipping them, right? Ease the work on
them. Then he began visiting them late at night, he would go into
the Hebrew camps and visit with the Hebrews, right? And he met
them and he started talking to them. And they're wondering, why
is this Prince of Egypt coming to talk to us, right?
And then he learned he was a Hebrew, okay?
Then when his goodness towards them became so good in the sight
of Allah, then Allah chose him. How did Allah choose him? This is
a Hebrew Prince, you're not going to be perfect. He has things in
him Allah wants to remove from him. Okay, how Allah caused him to
kill a man and then cause him to be indicted for murder, and then
forced him to flee. Okay, forced him to flee.
So when Allah chose Moses, it wasn't a cake didn't come down
from heaven. A tribulation came down from heaven, about a very
serious trial came down from heaven. Allah says that this is
one of the most serious trials that anyone ever had. Imagine
you're a politician and you indicted for murder, you got to
flee for your life. Right? Or you're a prince. Then the choosing
is not over yet. When he arrived in the Arabian Desert, he didn't
get the revelation from Allah and the job of being a prophet know
what happened? 10 years of being a shepherd. Why? Because all of your
old habits have to go away. Your old life has to be forgotten. So
he's being with what with the goats and the sheep herding them.
That's it. All of that old life has to be forgotten. Have to clean
the route clean the water? Then after 10 years, you got the
revelation. Okay.
Alpha car to Busan my wife.
Okay, so again, Lincoln to the story of Musa alayhis salam the
tribulation when it comes you don't realize it. The beginning is
a trial the end is a gift in a job. Of course the greatest gift
that Allah can give anyone is what a job I'm not we're not talking
about a nine to five job we're talking about what is your job in
the OMA? Okay, what is your job and the amount that you can say
that from from what you do from what Allah allowed you to do?
almost better than it was before. Okay, that's what you got. The OMA
is better than it was before. Okay. And that could be
the motto clean they have jobs Allah azza wa jal put him even if
he is a professional in the day but in his volunteer time, he has
a job okay, this is the greatest gift you can give someone it
begins with a trial it ends with a job okay? And by the way jobs are
not all
over there are some secret jobs
okay, what often hides
stigma because to Danny he taught us about the death of a workers of
Allah are two types overt and covert.
Outwardly manifest and hidden. Okay, there are hidden Oh here is
that there are some earlier they have jobs you don't see the job.
You think he's just doing nothing is doing the job for Allah azza wa
jal, but you don't see it. Okay. And it's not with his hands or
with his mouth with his body. Okay. So there's just so that we
don't think that it's all manifest, but for most people like
us, it's manifest. Okay. The trial comes like Musa the trial leads to
two phases. The trial leads to two phases after you pass
To test at least to the phase of Tesla, and the phase of Talia,
definitely to remove all of the impurities that are incoming into
the heart, just removing these impurities, okay, so you'll find
that the person he wants to remove impurities. Okay. Musa alayhis
salam, as abracadabra Jelani teaches us in one of his books, he
says Musa spent eight or 10 years and it was actually 10 years in
the desert with the animals, why? To remove all of the memories of
Egypt
and that he's not seeing haram anymore. He's not seeing what he
used to see in the past. He's just removing all those memories. Okay.
Then, what happened next? After he left, he saw the burning bush and
he began getting revelation. Then Allah azza wa jal began for him,
after he has finished his time as a shepherd was over. Okay, now he
left with his two wives, he had two wives. He married both of the
daughters of Schreib.
And Allah azza wa jal began educating him. He began educating
him.
First he said, Throw your stick.
Okay, throw your stick. Then he taught, he said to him, I'm your
Lord. Remove your sandals then throw the stick it Allah taught
him directly about himself and about the nature of cause and
effect.
The nature of cause and effect why? Because he is going to do
something not fathomable. How can one man up and an entire empire?
Think about this? How can one man upend an entire civilization? That
man knows the true causes of things? So Allah azza wa jal
taught him you think it's a staff, a staff? It is what Allah decides
it to be. This is the true cause and effect of a believer. You see
a staff. You think it's a staff? Oh, Moses, what is it? You think
Allah doesn't know? No, Allah is bringing out from Moses what he
imagines it to be. It's my stick. It's my Hey, outside attack. Obeah
I lean on it. I moved the cattle and I have other uses
miscellaneous use right. Miscellaneous usages. Okay.
Allah told him, that's what you think. That's not the reality what
you think is not the reality. Okay, the Murray will come to a
point and realize everything he thought was actually not the case.
Everything's different. As a whole new reality. Throw it it became a
serpent. Okay? Your hand okay, your hand what's in your pocket
Moses, nothing's in your pocket, okay, stick your hand in your
pocket, take it out. And his hand came out glowing white.
Okay, then put it back in and it came back normal. Everything you
think is actually not the way it is. Allah azza wa jal will take
you to that level. Now, you understand something, you will
understand what you need for the job. Whatever job Allah says says
about what was done or Touka Allah I need I fashioned you myself.
Every step for this job, you are created for this job. So the
marine when he does he passes his test.
And he does to clear Allah azza wa jal will begin educating him on
something for the job that he will do. Okay, for the job that he will
do. And it may be so simple. There was one time a woman and this is
very important. A woman came to her shed after she was talking
about some subject like this, that when Allah azza wa jal uses you or
when you come near to him, he uses you for a job. Okay?
She said, shift.
I've been striving for years.
But Allah has never given me a job.
I'm just like everyone else. Law has not given me a job. I just do
what every other woman does. nothing unique about
shifts that go away from me. You are so ignorant.
And he left
and she doesn't know what kind of answer this is. Right? He left
isn't gonna go with
and she came back this shift. You're making a fun because you
think I'm some small person. Okay. Some small person. That is not
worth anything to you in your eyes. He laughed even harder. He
said go away. Okay.
Now years passed. And then what happened?
Years passed. And the woman passed on she died. She died and the
Check died.
Then they met in the Barossa.
The Sheikh said let me show you something she was and she said
check all your Masha Allah Hamdulillah we made it to Jenna
but your promises were wrong. I never did a job for Allah azza wa
jal. He said, Now I'll show you. And he picked open the life of
this dunya. And he said, Look, and she saw a huge multitude of
gathering. He said, mashallah big gathering, which Masjid is that?
He said, Look at the Imam.
And she looked and it was her son
is said, you think you didn't have a job. And I knew this all along.
And I knew this all along. And I didn't want to bring it to your
attention, so that you can act naturally with your son. Allah
wants her to be natural. If he says, Oh, you're gonna raise a
great son. Now she's gonna like shake, right? She's not gonna know
what to do. You can think he wants us to be natural. Right? So he
wouldn't tell her what her job was. And sometimes this is that
sometimes you're doing your job. It's not explicit. You don't know
what your job is. You're already doing it. That's why he laughed,
you're already doing it. And you don't know. That's why he said
you're ignorant, right? But this is an ignorance that's needed in
ignorance that's needed. So you could do your job without
realizing it. So you could do it naturally. Okay? Do it naturally.
May Allah azza wa jal or use us and even artha also says there's
other a bed of Allah azza wa jal are of different types of
different types. Okay. He said, there are one app that Allah uses,
but he does not love.
And then one app Allah loves but doesn't use. And then there is one
app Allah uses and loves B from the one who uses and loves. So who
is the app that he uses but doesn't love? The corrupt jurists?
The corrupt for key
a corrupt for key. Okay.
So what is the corrupt for key the prophets I send them tells there
is a man, a more alum who all of his students go to gentlemen. And
they find that their shake is not in Jannah. So they all go out
looking for their shit.
Then they find him being dragged to *.
And they say, Oh Allah. This is our ship. We're only in Jana,
because of his teaching after the bottom of the SOFIA Kabbalah is
the work of the ship. He said, Yes, he taught you but he didn't
act upon it. He goes to *. Prophesy centum said in Hola.
Hola, yo, au to hear the Dini berjudul fetcher. Allah will help
this religion through a corrupt men. Many corrupt men have done
great services to the religion. Okay. Many corrupt people have
done good things for the religion. India would not have entered Islam
as fast as it did sinned, which is north. Okay. Hadn't had judge son
of use of her judgment use of. He's the one who wanted India.
Why? Because they were taxing his men on the way. They were taxing
the merchants on the way. And he wanted to tax the merchants, but
he didn't want to double tax the merchants. So India was causing a
problem for him. He went in there solely
to clear the Silk Route between the Arab lands and China. That's
all he wanted to do, to clear the Silk Route, but his soldiers went
there knowing this is jihad, FISA beat Allah and Tao. Right,
Mohammed bin Qasim al Qureshi. Okay, he went there, he was a
solid, upright man. And he used this opportunity for Dawa and they
converted many people, they conquered the land, they moved the
Hindu priests aside and the Buddhist priests and they
established Islam there. Many people enter the SNAM afterwards.
On top of that, because had judge been use have cleared the Silk
Route for the Muslims. What flowed in to the Muslim lands and became
very cheap paper and invention that came about so who gets who
benefited the OMA for this high Jasmine use? Does it get the
reward for it prophesy centum said you get the reward for what you
intended. If you intended tax free route, you got a tax free route,
right but the Muslims benefited and this is why from the time of
hijab and use of after he clears the Silk Route for the Muslims or
whatever the route is called for the Muslims between Iraq and
China. You find an explosion of Hadith publications. If I'm water,
Musa Ahmed Bukhari Muslim Timothy by all of the all of us they come
in one century, why the influx of paper allowed for many people to
start writing. Everyone was writing but
For that you needed a scroll, and the scroll doesn't last. If it
gets hot or it gets wet it you lose it. So you see this one man
had just been use of did something for dunya
but who benefits the home of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi
wasallam the whole Ummah, Muhammad Sallallahu Newson. So this is
someone Allah used but does not love someone says how can you say
Allah does not love him? We can when you kill Sahaba and Tabby in
right, this is not a sign that Allah loves you. If Allah loves
you, right? Oh, my God lol Biafra yesterday sobre el Islam. You
fucked over Dean. It makes him have occasion Dean, knowledge of
Dean. And Allah also says yesterday southern Islam. He makes
his heart open to Islam. What does that mean just loving it or acting
upon it, acting upon it. Killing Taliban in and Sahaba who are
hanging on the curtain of the Kava is not an act of deep so we could
say yes, he's someone Allah used, but did not love. May Allah
forgive him and Yanni May Allah forgive him. Of course Allah can
forgive him anyone on your McLemore he had some goodness in
him but he was not from the people we say Allah loves because then
his actions would be an example. Someone Allah uses and loves the
righteous scholar, the righteous anyone righteous who does good
works. Now how do we what is the sign that someone uses and loves
He see benefits the OMA but he also is an example. Spiritual
example,
Imam and had dead set how do you know of the scholar who was
someone Allah loves will be called Alma and emaline the scholars who
act his scholarship and his work does not take away from his a bed.
Okay, he does not sacrifice his a Betta, his own nearness to Allah
for his work for the ummah. And he said a moment had that says anyone
who claims to be working for the old man, by sacrificing his own
worship is whenever
there was someone who says we sacrificed our Sunnah prayers,
right? To do such and such. Remember her dad said this man is
the most ignorant of the ignorant. You don't sacrifice your own a bed
for other people. Right?
You don't sacrifice it for others, you do both amarapura Top
he says daytime is for the a bed, daytime I will serve the Muslims
all day. Nighttime for Allah, Abu Bakr Siddiq when he gave us hope.
But he said there are some actions, Allah accepts it by day
doesn't accept it by night, and some actually accepted by night
not accepted by day What did he mean? Service
is for the daytime, a bad is for the evening time. Okay, so this is
the sign and then who is those who Allah loves, but doesn't use?
They're those who
they're close to Allah, but they are not involved in any way shape
and form in the Dawa, or in the kedma of the Muslims.
So if you can, if you fail, let yourself just be one of those
devil questions.
Complete jail.
The question is, what about someone who willfully does bad
today? seeing and believing that I'm going to use that bat to do
good, complete job? Because you want to do good? Who is going to
give you the Tofik to do good? Who's going to give you the
blessings to do good? Is it from yourself? Then you already know as
from ALLAH, if it's from Allah do it the way Allah wants it to be
done. Right? Then you will do good. You might not do the good
that you expect it to do, but you will do some good. Many people in
doubt, even told me I said, actually that I will better.
Right? The people of wita
who want to think that they're doing good, they end up with more
followers than Iraq, right? Because the people have bid up,
they are willing to break the rules in the name of Dawa, right,
in the name of Dower. So this is like, back in his time. He's
talking about a lot of new Muslims, a lot of new Muslims, and
they're all from Mongolia. Right? Far out. The Mongols are
instantaneous. I'm surrounded with Mongols. These Mongols are Muslim,
semi Muslim, they don't know what they are mixing everything up. So
many of the DUA were saying let us take from their religion, the
image of their religion and put it in Islam. Okay, whatever their
religion practices were, and bring
Get in Islam and mix the two so that he thinks this Oh is a
continuation of my own religion. And he starts doing it who did
this before him? Paul
in Christianity, all Roman citizen, he said let us take the
Roman religion, okay? The skeleton of the Roman religion and just
infuse it with Christian beliefs. Okay? And that's what Roman
religion is. That's what Christianity is today. It's Roman
religion. Yeah, it's Roman religion, the dates, all the dates
are Roman, a lot of things are Roman, and you just infuse it with
some Catholic Christian beliefs. Well, even Samia says that there
have the largest following but always short lived, that these
people will ultimately come to the scholars and they have to rectify
everything, okay. So we will not succeed
in the religion of Allah, except in the way that Allah told us to
do it, even if it looks very little now. Right but it will last
Allah says, right.
Matt in the commune Phaedra and Allah have up the deeds, the
things that you think are good will go away. You're going to be
lost. On that end Allah about and what is what is with Allah azza wa
jal is lasting. So even if it's literal, and he says,
quote, JAL, Huck was alkyl button. Whenever the truth comes, the
button just goes away. So when we do doubt, we must work vigorously
to do it the way the prophet would have done it. Okay. Even if that
means my It seems my returns will be very little. That's what it
seems like right? My returns will be very little, but you don't know
that little bit can go a long way. Okay. Little bit can go a long
way.
In Arata whoodle, Mala hibi, I like side fakra welfare party FACA
dAche. In the Masada Kotori fuqra. If you want gifts to come your
way, then perfect. You're the spiritual poverty that you have.
When you if you want gifts to come your way, you must make yourself
impoverished to Allah. Which means what? Monitor the times in which
you were in need. What was your state? Like? What is your state
when you're in need? Now when you're not in need simulated?
We have a concept of simulation pilot, when he's trained, they
don't train them on a real plane right away. Don't put him or it's
too expensive. They put him in a simulated room. So it doesn't cost
the company or the school money. The military, you think they're
sending a guy up there every single time? No, they're putting
him in a room? A little place very expensive.
And it's a simulated flight. So missile becoming and he has to
dodge it? Or those spin the plane with him and see if he vomits? Can
he withstand it or not? They'll simulate everything. astronauts
when they go into space, how do they practice? They simulate the
environment. Okay.
The path of the Elia is if you are in peacetime, how do you advance
by simulating your times of trial in your head, simulated. And this
is how you practice. When you practice. You got to practice a
game. No, no team just practices doing drills all day. You don't do
drills all day, you play a real game, right? You have a real game,
okay? With a real opponent simulated a friendly, right? So
you simulate the environment. Okay? You simulate the
environment. And once you're in peacetime, you got to keep
simulating it and pretending and making yourself think tricking
yourself into that you are in a complete need. Okay, you act like
that. This is how you advance in peacetime, then when the trust
comes, you will be in fact, ready to be like that.
An example
an example.
Someone will contemplate,
contemplate that he is colorless.
The doctors told him you have six months to live.
You can't What am I state gonna be like now? What am I going to be
like? Now? you contemplate that? What if a doctor told me six
months ago? What if this nice home that I'm in? Something happens and
I'm kicked out? I'm in a little apartment. You got to visualize
that. What would life be like? Right?
Or what would happen?
And you don't want to think about things you want to think like oh,
what if my kid dies? You don't want to think like that. But you
have to put yourself in the shoes of people who suffer that right?
How would you a bad a be? How would your salon be like, if your
child was suffering a calamity? Right? You have to simulate that
without going crazy.
Going over the top with that, right and becoming paranoid or
insane, okay, you must simulate such a trial, then you'll be ready
for it when it happens. Okay?
That is fixed. That's your daily fix. So that's fixed. Okay. So as
they say, you hope for the best, but you prepare for the worst. How
do you prepare for the worst, you got to simulate it in your head.
But your simulation will never be the real thing. Your simulation of
a matter will never be the real thing. It won't even come close.
But you will have an idea of how it's like, like, for example,
Allah tells us there's pomegranate pomegranates in paradise. There's
rivers in paradise. There's velvet couches in paradise. So you have
an image in your head. But we all know, that's not even close to the
real thing. Because I always thought there was a couch and
beneath the couch is running a river. That means where is the
foot of the couch? Is it on soil? That means it's getting dirty,
right? You can't imagine it. But you can get an idea of what it's
like, right? You can get an idea. A river of milk, a river of honey,
a river of water, a river of wine, I mean, a pomegranate, or fruits
that don't have to be peeled and don't have any seeds inside of you
can contemplate it. But you know for sure. When you look upon
gentlemen is going to be yes, they will be there, but not the way you
imagined it. Okay, so, this is how we contemplate and when we do
this, okay? We open ourselves to divine gifts. The knifes is the
problem, the ego is the problem. How would dunya How do you remove
from yourself over dunya
and this is the thing if you've experienced it once you know how
it goes you got to reach back into your most bitter experiences being
rejected.
Of course being rejected is one of the most bitter experiences. Okay?
One of the most bitter experiences being tested with your kids is
worse than being tested with yourself. Right? All of these
things and this is why the prophets I said them said I do not
like my Sahaba it turns out I do not like for you to look at those
whose dunya is good. rather look at those whose dunya is bad. And I
realized written recently
the prep being in the company of old people, Muslim or not Muslim
has a bit of benefit. Now our deen always tells us honor the old
visit the old right? respect the elderly, don't put them in a home.
Allah subhanaw taala says in May Abloh can in Dhaka, Cuba, huduma
Oklahoma, if your parents reach old age with you. That means
before they get old age, you should be bringing them over a lot
so that he gets into decrepitude in your own home. Of course,
nowadays, people like their freedom, and even many parents
won't even accept to be with their kids. Right? But Allah is telling
us that's how close you should be to old people, they should be with
you. Why is that? The old person when you sit with him, he has lost
love of dunya that dunya has come and gone, he knows is gone. They
have no interest in dunya. If you spend a lot of time with elderly
people just sitting with them talking about whatever they want
to talk about, you will find yourself in a zone in which you
don't care for the dunya anymore.
It rubs off on you. I'm telling you even if it's a Kaffir. Right,
it rubs off on you because dunya is has gone, it's gone. He has no
hope for it anymore. And not only that,
what's the difference between someone who actually lost his
dunya and an old person, there's a big difference. The old person,
his reflection on the dunya is a view of someone who not only he
doesn't have dunya anymore, he's witnessed others replace him in
the dunya. Right? There's a big difference. It's a much different
feeling when you've been replaced when you're so old, that you're
forgotten and replaced. So you can go on up poor for six months and
simulate poverty for yourself and now have no dunya and um, you
know, being poor, but you know, in the back of your head, you're
still have a chance and you still could do it. It's a much more
different feeling than when you've been replaced. I've been with duat
scholars and scholars have dunya the dunya of a scholar is just
different. The same temptations that scholar has. Okay. He has
different they have the same their own temptation
have their own issues. Okay. But
I've sat with one man one time, who was replaced. And you could
tell the sadness in his eyes, right? That he was the man at some
point. But that's his dunya. And if he didn't cut, but he now he
said, he said, some of them get bitter, which means that his
intention was right in the first place. And hopefully, that
bitterness will be his cut fodder. But some of them will get sad.
That means his intention was mixed. He did it for a love, but
he also loved it. He loved the attention. Others, it says if
nothing happened, right, it doesn't care at all.
Okay, but this is the thing being replaced is a different feeling.
So you need to know what are you? What do you what's your life going
to be like when you're replaced? You got to have a spiritual life.
You have to build up the spiritual life, so that when you're
replaced, you shouldn't care. And this is a whole realm of sofas
like this. The whole purpose of the sofa is when you're replaced,
and no one's thinking about you. And you were sad. Miriam said
Nexium, and Sia, forgotten, and they forgot that they forgot about
you. This is what Nicean men see and means forgotten. And they even
forgot that they forgot about you. Like, in New York, in the world of
the New York Yankees, Mickey Mantle is no longer a player. But
we know he's no longer play. We remember Mickey Mantle. Of course,
he's not on the field. But he's remembered. Even though he's
replaced, he's replaced, but remembered, there are players that
are replaced and forgotten. Right? The replaced and they're
forgotten. So
Allah azza wa jal only gives to that person whose heart is empty
and broken. So make your heart empty and broken, even if you have
to simulate the tribulation comes to you. But do not let other
people see your state. Don't come and let them come in and see you
in that state do this privately. Why? Because it might have an
adverse effect on others. And imagine if you come home, and you
and your spouse is starting to take that to solve class, and she
coming home and there's bawling in the kitchen. The world's gone into
stuff going to this class, right? Or the guy he's sitting there
rolling around in the bathroom, right? Imagining that he's lost
everything. Oh, right. We don't need this. Right. I need you to be
happy, right? You're supposed to make others happy. You're not
supposed to make me depressed. Why you may be doing that the other
person may not be in the mood for that. Do this stuff privately.
Keep it private. Right. This is between you and Allah one time
they opened the door on Habib Omar. Bin Hatfield, and they found
him in such a state on the ground laying on the ground weeping.
Okay.
But they weren't supposed to see him like that. You're never gonna
see him like that. That was an accident that happened. Right?
That's something you do privately between yourself and Allah.
The next Heckman says
catoca
your poverty Leca the theater it belongs to you essentially. See
again, it's you don't let share this with others. This is private
for you. Forgot to Calaca the theater. While we're rude as
Babbie muda Kira to laka Bhima Sofia Aleikum in her now, your
private brokenness and spirituality. Now when the
tribulation comes, it perfects it, it makes it real.
Athletes simulated all the time in practice, now gametime This is a
real thing. It perfects it now. What I was missing in my simulated
tribulation, I realize it now. Right. So like we said, when we
simulate these things, the states are going to do good. But we're
not going to do the real thing until the real tribulation
happens. Okay? So when he says your indigenous belongs to you,
essentially that means the indigenous the poverty that you
simulate on yourself. It's not going to be 100%. Right? But when
the real test comes, it's going to perfect your poverty. It's kind of
perfect it. Okay, it's a reminder of what you missed in your
poverty. So a team is practicing. They're practicing very well now
game time and you lost. What does it show? It just shows me that
there are certain things missing, you fix it. Okay. And this is how
the willie never thinks of his troubles. It only thinks of how
his troubles improve is Dean.
How his troubles improve his spiritual state. Okay.
To Arraf Allah He Farakka Erica shed
Allah's prophesy Center said Get to know Allah in the good times,
he will know you in the bad times, okay? Get to know Allah and the
good times, he'll know you in the bad times, which means Yanni
continue these simulations strive in the good times, that when the
bad time comes, you will find yourself very close to Allah. Very
close to Allah. This is the thicker the husband that has an
adversity, I believe it was or maybe it was. Cat, one of the one
of the ultimate said Hosen is bad and good. There's good sadness,
and there's bad sadness. What's the good sadness, the sad the
flicker and the sadness you simulate on yourself? When you
visualize and imagine, everything has crumbled and been destroyed,
and you're left with nothing, you've done that to yourself. This
is the good sadness. All right, what's better sadness when it
really happens when the tribulation truly comes? What's
bad sadness, sadness at the loss of dunya. Right? When you're sad,
that, yeah, something of the dunya was lost. This is embarrassment.
One time I was sitting with shift by Baker and a man came in, full
of drama, full of drama, right? This man was a very famous,
influential Muslim man that you all know, okay, full of drama, oh,
I can't believe this is happening, what's going to happen?
Right. Shiva Baker sitting there is looking at us as like laughing
almost right? He said, it's gonna be fine. Everything's gonna be
fine. Right? And then he taught us a lesson. And he said, it's an
embarrassment. When you're worried about your dunya to this degree,
this is an embarrassment. Right? Man. He can be so big. When he
reveals his emotions for dunya are like this. In my sight is this is
this big? Is this small? And He only told us that not backbiting
but warning us showing us an example of a guy people chase
after flipping out over some dunya right? And he's saying us look,
see. See this. When the tests came? This is how he reacted
because he wasn't a man have to solve. Right or he was just
learning.
When the tribulation comes to us, you should focus on how it is
improving your deen All right. Let's stop here for our break.
Whoa, whoa the other stuff little lady will
