My

00:00:18 --> 00:00:21

name is was salam ala

00:00:25 --> 00:00:28

Abdur Catherine Jada Annie is this to echo my

00:00:30 --> 00:00:33

other brother and Jada news was passed

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

away as his wedding. Kind of when he made a major wrong.

00:00:39 --> 00:00:41

Right? And he said we got

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

a lot of other materials, the alma mater of Allah azza wa jal.

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54

Oh, by the way announcement.

00:00:58 --> 00:00:59

When you click,

00:01:00 --> 00:01:04

there's a playlist, all the previous classes. So when you

00:01:04 --> 00:01:08

click on number two or whatever, it should take you to the

00:01:08 --> 00:01:12

playlist, the whole thing. But if not, that will just send the email

00:01:12 --> 00:01:16

out for each link. So far, everything that we've done is

00:01:16 --> 00:01:20

updated a YouTube video. Okay, but it's unlisted. So you need to have

00:01:20 --> 00:01:24

the link not public, which is for the class. It's unlisted. So if it

00:01:24 --> 00:01:27

doesn't come up the whole playlist, then we will send you an

00:01:27 --> 00:01:32

email it's also available in a local Quran, which we did. There's

00:01:32 --> 00:01:33

also up there for

00:01:35 --> 00:01:35

everyone to

00:01:36 --> 00:01:37

watch.

00:01:39 --> 00:01:40

So other than generic

00:01:42 --> 00:01:42

Allegra

00:01:44 --> 00:01:49

it was asked away as the body and when he committed big wrong. He

00:01:49 --> 00:01:51

says what kind of camera like dura

00:01:53 --> 00:01:56

mater Allah azza wa jal has committed with will something

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

that's going to happen. Now, how do we know it was? How do we

00:02:01 --> 00:02:04

consider a sin that we do? Is it

00:02:07 --> 00:02:12

from the color of Allah upon us? Or is it our own action? Okay?

00:02:13 --> 00:02:19

You look at it by your reaction, okay? Examine it by your air. If

00:02:19 --> 00:02:22

your reaction is to blame yourself, be angry, be upset at

00:02:22 --> 00:02:26

yourself, and then make an immediate Toba. And it's a big

00:02:26 --> 00:02:31

deal to you. And you're extremely upset by it. Okay. And you never

00:02:31 --> 00:02:34

want to do this again. And that's the biggest deal of your life that

00:02:34 --> 00:02:35

you did this, how could you do this?

00:02:36 --> 00:02:42

Okay. And that you would never think to say, Allah has willed

00:02:42 --> 00:02:42

this for me.

00:02:44 --> 00:02:49

That is the sign that Allah will view it as the opposite. He will

00:02:49 --> 00:02:50

view it as a test that I have put up.

00:02:52 --> 00:02:58

But if a person says, No, this is Allah's Will, for US allies will

00:02:58 --> 00:03:01

distribute, there's nothing I could do. And let me just enjoy

00:03:01 --> 00:03:08

it. Or you have no speed to tell him no speed to repentance, that

00:03:08 --> 00:03:12

at this point, you will not have that outlet on you will be on your

00:03:12 --> 00:03:17

monthly ama we will be held accountable. So the automat tell

00:03:17 --> 00:03:21

us that if you are penitent for your sin, then the forgiveness is

00:03:21 --> 00:03:25

that Allah informs you on my sermon I have

00:03:26 --> 00:03:31

I have made a destined this for you for a wisdom for lessons that

00:03:31 --> 00:03:34

you will learn from the sense for benefits that will come to you not

00:03:34 --> 00:03:39

from the action but from the humility, okay, or for protection

00:03:39 --> 00:03:43

for your own protection. So your ego doesn't rise up too much. Got

00:03:45 --> 00:03:46

your leg crossed.

00:03:48 --> 00:03:52

So that your ego doesn't rise too much for your own protection. But

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

if someone doesn't have this type of approach, this type of

00:03:56 --> 00:04:00

attitude, and he has a very nonchalant attitude that he enjoys

00:04:00 --> 00:04:05

it. And he takes pleasure in it that he's told on your little down

00:04:05 --> 00:04:07

that you did this. You didn't have to do it again.

00:04:09 --> 00:04:14

So this is how we have to handle our mouse. And the one who knows

00:04:14 --> 00:04:15

how to handle Marcy

00:04:17 --> 00:04:23

is downfalls is the likeness of what do they call these special

00:04:23 --> 00:04:24

effects actors?

00:04:25 --> 00:04:30

stuntman, stunt managers thrown off the building for real quick,

00:04:30 --> 00:04:35

maybe one or two stories, but he knows how to call. Every time he's

00:04:35 --> 00:04:39

thrown off. Default properly. He maybe just gets a scrape. Okay,

00:04:39 --> 00:04:44

because properly and it is said that the repeating center someone

00:04:44 --> 00:04:48

who's always sitting, if he is a repeating edited

00:04:49 --> 00:04:53

to web is not written in the books as a self.

00:04:55 --> 00:04:56

It's not written in the books

00:04:58 --> 00:05:00

rather than what was written in the sight of

00:05:00 --> 00:05:02

As far as a housing, disobedience someone

00:05:03 --> 00:05:06

who plans and enjoys that doesn't make them

00:05:10 --> 00:05:14

This is why one of the heckum that we're going to read here is that

00:05:14 --> 00:05:20

sometimes a mistake that you make, right a mistake that you make ends

00:05:20 --> 00:05:23

up actually being better for you than if you had done I mean the

00:05:23 --> 00:05:27

act of obedience, but you have to not misunderstand this. It doesn't

00:05:27 --> 00:05:31

mean that the act is better, it means the results may be better,

00:05:32 --> 00:05:37

the result may be better, okay. And Allah so and we cannot, just

00:05:37 --> 00:05:41

as you cannot punish someone, you cannot steal from them or hurt

00:05:41 --> 00:05:47

them harm, right. One of the names the name or reprimand means He has

00:05:47 --> 00:05:53

mercy for people by hurting Okay, sometimes hurting someone actually

00:05:53 --> 00:05:56

is the most beneficial thing to them, but only Allah azza wa jal

00:05:57 --> 00:06:00

does this we can do. Likewise, you can say I need some humility. So

00:06:00 --> 00:06:04

let me just sit and look, you can't do that. But Allah azza wa

00:06:04 --> 00:06:05

jal may make it clear that

00:06:07 --> 00:06:11

we have to strive to go against these sets, and we have to strive

00:06:11 --> 00:06:16

to attain humility properly in the right way. But Allah azza wa jal

00:06:16 --> 00:06:21

may use any means and method that he wants. Right? And many times

00:06:21 --> 00:06:26

you hear the DUA be machette delegate machines, the DUA be

00:06:26 --> 00:06:29

machette okay which it however you want in whatever way you want.

00:06:30 --> 00:06:34

Allah azza wa jal works in very mysterious ways, very mysterious

00:06:34 --> 00:06:38

ways to render us humble and to bring and bring us back.

00:06:40 --> 00:06:43

Now, we stopped at one or two of them.

00:06:46 --> 00:06:49

This is beautiful gelato, water and you are available avenues.

00:06:50 --> 00:06:51

Where you just say oh,

00:06:53 --> 00:06:59

Allah azza wa jal is far greater that then we interact with him in

00:06:59 --> 00:07:02

cash, and he pays us back and credit

00:07:03 --> 00:07:09

is definitely right. Anything that you do for Allah as your you will

00:07:09 --> 00:07:13

receive an immediate reward. And the most immediate reward

00:07:15 --> 00:07:17

is the feeling of those that Kena

00:07:18 --> 00:07:19

upon making your Toba and doing your

00:07:21 --> 00:07:27

immediate reward is the conscious, the clear conscience, this is your

00:07:27 --> 00:07:31

immediate reward. Okay. And on top of that, you have worldly rewards,

00:07:31 --> 00:07:38

removal of sins, and other worldly rewards. So not it will never be

00:07:38 --> 00:07:40

that you will give Allah azza wa jal

00:07:41 --> 00:07:46

a good day you do a good deed to Allah. All right, for Allah sake,

00:07:46 --> 00:07:51

and you won't see the reward of No. Bare minimum of the reward is

00:07:51 --> 00:07:56

peace of mind. A sound conscience. That's why one of the people who

00:07:56 --> 00:08:02

used to command ran from Iraq. He was asked, he said, What is your

00:08:02 --> 00:08:06

biggest motivation? Right? He says, I love to sleep.

00:08:07 --> 00:08:10

Right? And this is like not right, right? You're supposed to love to

00:08:10 --> 00:08:14

sleep is not I love to sleep. And so I have to do the right thing

00:08:14 --> 00:08:17

because I can't have I need to sleep with a clear conscience.

00:08:17 --> 00:08:21

Okay, I can't have anything bother my conscience, I need to sleep

00:08:21 --> 00:08:25

with a clear conscience and he was a big commander of the right and

00:08:25 --> 00:08:25

formidable.

00:08:28 --> 00:08:34

Now, the opposite is true. Two, opposite is true. If we do a

00:08:34 --> 00:08:39

wrong, if we see it immediately, in some worldly way, we should be

00:08:39 --> 00:08:45

thinking, but if it's delayed, we should be worried. So if someone

00:08:45 --> 00:08:50

commits wrong, and he ends up in a state of misery afterwards, for

00:08:50 --> 00:08:54

whatever reason, he should be happy. You should know that the

00:08:54 --> 00:08:57

Wali Allah azza wa jal likes to remove his sympathy.

00:08:59 --> 00:09:03

And the facet, Allah azza wa jal leaves him. So you see some

00:09:03 --> 00:09:07

people, they do one minor, wrong.

00:09:08 --> 00:09:12

And if they can't sleep, they're upset. They're miserable. All

00:09:12 --> 00:09:16

right, they're doing extra cost to try to wipe it away. They're so

00:09:16 --> 00:09:17

upset.

00:09:18 --> 00:09:22

This is a great sign. But you see some other people doing huge

00:09:22 --> 00:09:25

calamities, and it doesn't even cross their mind. They're not

00:09:25 --> 00:09:30

upset, they don't feel miserable. They don't feel any yields. They

00:09:30 --> 00:09:35

feel nothing. This is a big is the Drudge which means they do you do

00:09:35 --> 00:09:37

wrong and you keep having a good life.

00:09:39 --> 00:09:42

Okay, doesn't mean you do wrong and you still have a clear

00:09:42 --> 00:09:47

conscience. This is what we call the automatic or this The Drudge,

00:09:47 --> 00:09:51

which means this is the biggest punishment that allowed doesn't

00:09:51 --> 00:09:56

let you feel guilt doesn't let you feel bad. doesn't let you see any

00:09:56 --> 00:09:59

bad consequences of your actions. Okay, this is severe

00:10:00 --> 00:10:04

very worrisome to the person. Okay. very worrisome.

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

This is even though Yeah, they have their finger on things right.

00:10:10 --> 00:10:13

So much so that some of the LDF they get worried if there's no

00:10:13 --> 00:10:20

tribulation I had it is it is a test sickness and annual sickness

00:10:20 --> 00:10:25

cleans up your sense. Okay, a monthly headache or bimonthly

00:10:25 --> 00:10:29

headache. Some people have other things some people have,

00:10:30 --> 00:10:33

every day, a reminder from a terminal disease that they have,

00:10:34 --> 00:10:36

or you have sickness and you have diseases, disease stays with you.

00:10:37 --> 00:10:40

Right? Some people are reminded every day, that's what they need.

00:10:40 --> 00:10:46

Right? Some people have a family member, causing them grief. Okay,

00:10:46 --> 00:10:50

and most people in their lives once or twice in their lives,

00:10:50 --> 00:10:54

they'll have a period of six, seven years of misery caused by

00:10:54 --> 00:10:59

someone in their family. Such as, such as example, in your union,

00:10:59 --> 00:11:03

you can say your mom, or your dad, you and your dad just held against

00:11:03 --> 00:11:03

you.

00:11:04 --> 00:11:09

Okay, then later in life, your son, one of your sons gives you it

00:11:10 --> 00:11:16

gives you grief, five, six years is very important. But 567 it's

00:11:16 --> 00:11:19

going to end. But it seems like it's not gonna end because it's

00:11:19 --> 00:11:24

567 years. And this strengthens your character makes you think

00:11:24 --> 00:11:29

outside the box, okay? Make some changes, your pattern of thinking

00:11:29 --> 00:11:33

improves, it returns you to Allah reminds you that you don't want to

00:11:33 --> 00:11:37

be in this world anymore. Right? Some people you have such a good

00:11:37 --> 00:11:41

life, you may be doing a disservice, right? It's such a

00:11:41 --> 00:11:43

good life, you're given a disservice. Sometimes you need a

00:11:43 --> 00:11:47

record, you always need how to some record, it's gotta be

00:11:47 --> 00:11:50

recorded. You can't do put the wrinkle there yourself, but

00:11:50 --> 00:11:55

there's got to be a wrinkle. Okay? Now one way you could do it, get

00:11:55 --> 00:11:58

that with a little bit of a wrinkle in it never want the

00:11:58 --> 00:12:01

picture perfect. Like just you never want that. Because if the

00:12:01 --> 00:12:04

instant you have it is you will start losing everything.

00:12:05 --> 00:12:08

There needs to be somehow it was like what? So if I have a picture

00:12:08 --> 00:12:12

perfect, okay, what am I doing someone imagined that I did

00:12:12 --> 00:12:16

nothing wrong. You need to strive in a way that

00:12:17 --> 00:12:22

it is dry and hidden acts of worship and service. And in so

00:12:22 --> 00:12:25

doing, you will come upon challenges that will give you that

00:12:26 --> 00:12:30

character developing and ascend, removing hardships, such as

00:12:30 --> 00:12:35

fasting. If you have a great life, take on the burden of fasting,

00:12:35 --> 00:12:38

you're going to feel tired, you're going to be upset, you're going to

00:12:38 --> 00:12:42

be to have a little bit of a headache, right? And you've sort

00:12:42 --> 00:12:45

of brought this out yourself but not really you've done what Allah

00:12:45 --> 00:12:50

asked you to do. Right? Before look at people, people need help.

00:12:51 --> 00:12:55

People need help go and help people. And in the process, you

00:12:55 --> 00:13:01

will be exhausted, right? You'll be exhausted from people. Okay? So

00:13:01 --> 00:13:03

kidmin a banner of heaven

00:13:05 --> 00:13:10

to neutralize too much good because we know as we want Don't

00:13:10 --> 00:13:15

we all want to neutralize the pain of torment, right? We talk about

00:13:15 --> 00:13:21

DUA and thicker and remembrance of death wise to neutralize a very

00:13:21 --> 00:13:26

painful life is likewise a very pleasure some life needs to be

00:13:26 --> 00:13:32

neutralized. Okay? And so that you always are neither, like so

00:13:32 --> 00:13:35

miserable, that you're suicidal and neither are is everything. So

00:13:35 --> 00:13:37

perfect that you forget about

00:13:38 --> 00:13:40

never want to be in either of those extremes.

00:13:45 --> 00:13:47

So, someone has a good hook period

00:13:49 --> 00:13:54

cut them into that he got a BA and Murali I can.

00:13:56 --> 00:14:03

Again we said last week the moment at a basic level of views things

00:14:03 --> 00:14:08

from a very simple way very simple two dimensional levels, the

00:14:08 --> 00:14:10

wedding of Allah azza wa jal has

00:14:11 --> 00:14:15

depth more depth. We said that if Allah azza wa jal gives you a

00:14:15 --> 00:14:19

narrow in life like a good job a good wife a good a

00:14:20 --> 00:14:21

good kids

00:14:22 --> 00:14:27

raise a new car a new house, the common man he says 100 other

00:14:27 --> 00:14:33

instruments but the one he says Wait is this this is a traffic

00:14:33 --> 00:14:37

from my from my entering into a trap. He says is this new house

00:14:37 --> 00:14:40

gonna distract me? Is Allah and he makin said

00:14:41 --> 00:14:46

he might say to himself, has his Allah He doesn't want me my dog

00:14:46 --> 00:14:48

anymore? Is he

00:14:49 --> 00:14:51

quietly quieting me shutting me up.

00:14:52 --> 00:14:57

Because you're if you're down, you make dry, your health is down.

00:14:57 --> 00:14:59

You're making dua and you're sending it off and Allah loves it.

00:15:00 --> 00:15:03

So now you've got your health back, though, he starts thinking

00:15:04 --> 00:15:08

that he does want my duality. Right. And this is the bizarre

00:15:08 --> 00:15:12

thing, the LDL, their envy, who they envy in life,

00:15:14 --> 00:15:17

which they don't ask for it, but they envy the one who was tested

00:15:17 --> 00:15:18

in life.

00:15:19 --> 00:15:22

And don't think that test is in one way test in so many ways.

00:15:22 --> 00:15:26

Someone could have perfect kids no money, someone could have perfect

00:15:26 --> 00:15:33

job, no kids, right? And you tend to find this. And earlier, they

00:15:33 --> 00:15:37

feel at peace when a child comes away because they know what was

00:15:37 --> 00:15:42

paid attention to the mouth. Right? Before they get nervous. So

00:15:42 --> 00:15:44

much so that one of the setup of the women

00:15:45 --> 00:15:47

Alia of the women,

00:15:48 --> 00:15:52

she took her husband for a foot a divorce. Okay.

00:15:53 --> 00:15:58

And all the way there. Okay, the car the the judge asked her, Why

00:15:58 --> 00:16:03

are you seeking this divorce? She said he's not a man of Allah. He

00:16:03 --> 00:16:06

said it was the day you see him drinking committee, Zina, skipping

00:16:06 --> 00:16:07

prayer fasting,

00:16:08 --> 00:16:12

sees he said, No, he does all this. So he's just the any genuine

00:16:13 --> 00:16:17

believer, but he's never been tested. Right? There's no test in

00:16:17 --> 00:16:21

his life. Okay, it's never been tested. And tests is not always

00:16:21 --> 00:16:25

public. Many tests are private, many, many sins that you do are

00:16:25 --> 00:16:28

private. That's a test. Right? You should just hope that allies are

00:16:28 --> 00:16:33

done making covering up all of our sins. So does you think someone

00:16:33 --> 00:16:36

doesn't have any tests in his life? He may have tests, it may be

00:16:36 --> 00:16:41

so private, even his own mother does know that. It's a private

00:16:41 --> 00:16:44

situation. Right? So she took him

00:16:45 --> 00:16:50

to court. And she said he never gets tested. Okay? So I don't want

00:16:50 --> 00:16:54

a husband that is not a man of Allah. So then he granted the

00:16:54 --> 00:16:58

divorce because in Quran, you don't always need a reason. If you

00:16:58 --> 00:17:01

have no reason, but you just don't want to marry the person, you have

00:17:01 --> 00:17:04

to give back the money. Right? And then he divorces you or the judge

00:17:04 --> 00:17:06

divorces, you give back to the

00:17:08 --> 00:17:10

mother was set up. Okay.

00:17:12 --> 00:17:15

On the way back, the man tripped and broke his ankle in a really

00:17:15 --> 00:17:16

bad way.

00:17:17 --> 00:17:21

Right. So then she took him back into me to marry him to get

00:17:21 --> 00:17:25

because now he's test. Okay, so you've seen our how the only a few

00:17:25 --> 00:17:31

things. Now let's look at what Ivanova is saying. How do we view

00:17:31 --> 00:17:33

our acts of obedience?

00:17:34 --> 00:17:35

And our thoughts?

00:17:36 --> 00:17:43

How do we view our thoughts? Okay, we view most people view the VA.

00:17:44 --> 00:17:49

And they run. They think they did good. They did great. They sleep

00:17:49 --> 00:17:52

feeling I did a good job today. Hopefully I'm gonna get a reward.

00:17:54 --> 00:17:57

This is Sound This is fine, perfectly good. But the Willie is

00:17:57 --> 00:18:02

deeper. What does he say? He says wait a second, I didn't do this

00:18:02 --> 00:18:07

for myself, who gave me the idea to do it, who put inside my heart

00:18:07 --> 00:18:12

the love of this action. And then who facilitated all these actions.

00:18:14 --> 00:18:18

He realizes this. So he says, chose me for this job

00:18:19 --> 00:18:21

shows me for this act.

00:18:23 --> 00:18:27

Right? And his satisfaction is not that he did it. But that Allah

00:18:27 --> 00:18:27

chosen for it.

00:18:28 --> 00:18:32

And one of the sets of Hava said the biggest calamity you should

00:18:32 --> 00:18:38

consider in your life is that you were doing an act and you stopped

00:18:38 --> 00:18:43

doing it. Don't say you stopped doing it. Say Allah.

00:18:44 --> 00:18:48

Oh, that's scary at this point. Right at this point. You that

00:18:48 --> 00:18:53

hurts to think that Allah had you amongst the people who used to

00:18:53 --> 00:18:56

give sediment to the poor. And you stopped.

00:18:58 --> 00:19:05

Don't say I stopped say think I did have a love firing on the job.

00:19:05 --> 00:19:09

Right? Has Allah removed me he doesn't want my money anymore. You

00:19:09 --> 00:19:13

know the one by setup. That is how the way he thinks. So when you are

00:19:13 --> 00:19:18

doing it, you realize why service is an honor to me.

00:19:19 --> 00:19:23

This service, I'm being honored by the service, and you have to

00:19:23 --> 00:19:28

protect you have to garden very safely. Because if you don't

00:19:28 --> 00:19:33

garden, your good deeds, you can lose it. And if you lose it, and

00:19:33 --> 00:19:37

you see many times it's very unfortunate, very sad that you see

00:19:37 --> 00:19:38

someone is a hero in Islam.

00:19:39 --> 00:19:44

Then what happens like Iraqi, he gained some fortune

00:19:45 --> 00:19:49

or whatever. And he stopped doing service and he opened up a

00:19:49 --> 00:19:55

business instead. He used his skills that he learned in Dallas

00:19:55 --> 00:20:00

or whatever charity. He learned services he made for

00:20:00 --> 00:20:05

As he made money, right, he then took all that circled it and

00:20:05 --> 00:20:08

started using it to open his own business. And now he doesn't do

00:20:08 --> 00:20:08

Dalit anymore.

00:20:10 --> 00:20:12

That person we should like preach and as

00:20:14 --> 00:20:15

he shouldn't preach it as

00:20:16 --> 00:20:24

right, he took some minor accident, like incidental rewards

00:20:25 --> 00:20:28

of his Dower, which actually turned out to be a test that he

00:20:28 --> 00:20:31

failed it because he stopped doing the Dow and he took the money that

00:20:31 --> 00:20:35

he did the popularity that know how, and he converted into a

00:20:35 --> 00:20:36

business.

00:20:38 --> 00:20:38

So

00:20:39 --> 00:20:42

this is someone who has failed miserably, failed miserably,

00:20:43 --> 00:20:47

somehow, this is the likeness of someone who works extra hours in

00:20:47 --> 00:20:48

the company.

00:20:49 --> 00:20:52

So much so that he sees the janitors and he gets to know the

00:20:52 --> 00:20:55

janitors and he gets to know the routine of the janitor, that he

00:20:55 --> 00:20:58

left his position as vice president became a gender.

00:20:59 --> 00:21:03

This is the likeness of it. That's the likeness of it. And the only

00:21:03 --> 00:21:07

way that we handle that, as we say, is a love I don't love fired

00:21:07 --> 00:21:08

me from his work.

00:21:09 --> 00:21:13

And this is why many of the automat and though Leah, and the

00:21:13 --> 00:21:19

DUA and the true scholars of Islam were very suspicious of having

00:21:19 --> 00:21:25

many gains and financial gains as a result of their doubt. Right?

00:21:25 --> 00:21:30

Because they don't want to be Lord and tempted to train and start

00:21:30 --> 00:21:36

now. Not now. You're a chef. Okay, now you're on TV. About TVs giving

00:21:36 --> 00:21:41

you something right. A couple $1,000 In episode, okay, they're

00:21:41 --> 00:21:43

making millions and they're giving you some crumbs, right? It's a

00:21:43 --> 00:21:48

couple of $1,000 for episode. Now, what does that shift? Do? I got

00:21:48 --> 00:21:48

all this money

00:21:49 --> 00:21:54

now starts having his son's go investors gonna miss that. And

00:21:54 --> 00:21:57

what is this family become? It began as a scholarly family. It

00:21:57 --> 00:22:01

ends as a business, family business. And I've seen it we've

00:22:01 --> 00:22:04

seen it. We all know that anyone in the Arab countries knows some

00:22:04 --> 00:22:09

shares. Such a great chef. Okay. But we don't know this is a

00:22:09 --> 00:22:13

traveler. Maybe he didn't see through it. He became so wealthy,

00:22:14 --> 00:22:17

not because he loves money. He loves D you can tell he love the

00:22:17 --> 00:22:21

deal. But he's on so many TV shows. He became so rich. Now I

00:22:21 --> 00:22:22

want to become rich. What does he do?

00:22:24 --> 00:22:27

brings his family brings his nephew brings his cousins brings

00:22:27 --> 00:22:33

his brother brings his sons and daughters opens up a fund opens up

00:22:33 --> 00:22:37

a company started investing the money in the properties. And now

00:22:37 --> 00:22:42

the son? How does he spend half of his day being like his dad and

00:22:42 --> 00:22:46

learning? No. He spent all his time investing. He's a business

00:22:46 --> 00:22:51

mentor. You end up a businessman. And this is a downgrade. This is a

00:22:51 --> 00:22:55

downgrade. This is why the wisdom, the great wisdom of what happened

00:22:55 --> 00:22:56

to activate

00:22:57 --> 00:23:00

and elevate any possible hazards were saying what happened to them?

00:23:01 --> 00:23:06

They become rich of the Father's name. Right? Did they become

00:23:06 --> 00:23:12

governors, and how empowered we see that they ended up in a down

00:23:12 --> 00:23:16

and a downward worldly situation which actually caused them to

00:23:16 --> 00:23:20

maintain the spiritual integrity of their funds. So at the end of

00:23:20 --> 00:23:24

his life, Ali is in a state of misery that could happen is that

00:23:24 --> 00:23:25

giving him a headache.

00:23:26 --> 00:23:29

So much so that he saw the profit and a dream. Is that it Why are

00:23:29 --> 00:23:33

you upset? He said your mama has caused me a headache. Your OMA has

00:23:33 --> 00:23:37

caused me grief. He said pray that Allah gives them someone gives you

00:23:37 --> 00:23:41

something better than them. That gives them someone worse than you.

00:23:41 --> 00:23:42

So he made two out on them.

00:23:44 --> 00:23:45

And they got what they got.

00:23:46 --> 00:23:50

So highly been epithelium ended his life not a rich man with no

00:23:50 --> 00:23:54

problems. This is not the goal of religion. Remember, we want Allah

00:23:54 --> 00:23:59

azza wa jal. We want Allah azza wa jal look at the end of Ali. He

00:23:59 --> 00:24:03

ended his life that one of his companions used to see him

00:24:03 --> 00:24:03

weeping,

00:24:05 --> 00:24:11

weeping in a mosque in Kufa at night that he needs, the grief

00:24:11 --> 00:24:15

would wake him up and cause him to leave his house, pray and weep out

00:24:15 --> 00:24:20

of grief in a mosque in COVID and a little hut mosque.

00:24:21 --> 00:24:24

That's how the great people that's how he ended his life.

00:24:25 --> 00:24:29

Allah azza wa jal did not give us the deeds we can get. Just use it

00:24:29 --> 00:24:33

for comfort and power and all these other things. Allah azza wa

00:24:33 --> 00:24:37

jal wants our hearts to be clean. And so look, did we talk to her

00:24:37 --> 00:24:38

about the death of

00:24:40 --> 00:24:40

death?

00:24:44 --> 00:24:46

By 17 years old, he celebrated

00:24:47 --> 00:24:52

by 15, he was done with what the great scholars have put aside,

00:24:53 --> 00:24:58

deemed him finished. Finished like there's we can't benefit you

00:24:58 --> 00:24:59

anymore. You've graduated

00:25:00 --> 00:25:01

Have all of quarters and some of

00:25:03 --> 00:25:08

them finished. Now what go on to HS. It's like going from the minor

00:25:08 --> 00:25:12

league to the major league, going from high school, skip college go

00:25:12 --> 00:25:15

to the NBA right away. He went at the age of 50.

00:25:17 --> 00:25:20

By 1670, is writing a book.

00:25:21 --> 00:25:23

Right. And this is actually beautiful. He used to go to the

00:25:23 --> 00:25:27

Prophet's mosque at night when it was a full moon and use the light

00:25:27 --> 00:25:30

of the moon because he didn't have enough money to buy oil. Here's

00:25:30 --> 00:25:34

the light of the moon to write all of his knowledge. And he was

00:25:34 --> 00:25:39

writing a book on the history of the Hadith networks, the

00:25:39 --> 00:25:42

transmission networks that he took from him, he took from him he took

00:25:42 --> 00:25:45

from him to someone so so and so what did they meet? What did they

00:25:45 --> 00:25:51

not meet? He wrote all that. As a child 15 1617 We think we're

00:25:51 --> 00:25:56

sophisticated. We're actually not were drowned out by too much

00:25:56 --> 00:25:59

stuff, who there's two, there's physics, there's geography,

00:25:59 --> 00:26:03

there's math, there's too much stuff for kids, for people now.

00:26:04 --> 00:26:09

That's why in the past, they had less at their fingertips, but they

00:26:09 --> 00:26:13

produce more because they had more free time. Right? On a Saturday

00:26:13 --> 00:26:17

today, can you even find a free minute, but while he we have no

00:26:17 --> 00:26:21

free time, there's too much going on for them. They did. He wrote

00:26:21 --> 00:26:26

the history of the Hadith networks until up to his era, which is

00:26:26 --> 00:26:30

until today used as a reference.

00:26:31 --> 00:26:35

You use as like a chef Graduate Center. Some people saw him

00:26:35 --> 00:26:40

recently. What was his PhD thesis on in Colombia? The history of

00:26:40 --> 00:26:45

Hadith networks, because Hadith transmission, it's his culture,

00:26:45 --> 00:26:49

the transmission network. It's like a web like when AT and T or

00:26:49 --> 00:26:54

mobile or whatever, or whatever mobile phone company when they

00:26:54 --> 00:26:57

give you an another commercial, and they show you all of their

00:26:57 --> 00:27:00

towers, and it's a big web. hadith is just like this.

00:27:02 --> 00:27:11

By age 20, his name had reached up by age 25 or 27. They were waiting

00:27:11 --> 00:27:18

for him in Iraq. This one 100 scholars of Hadith were waiting

00:27:18 --> 00:27:26

for demanded Makati in Iraq, okay. When he arrived, he arrived right

00:27:26 --> 00:27:31

at the masjid semester was packed. Okay, and they gave him a public

00:27:31 --> 00:27:38

testing of his Hadith. So what did they do? They took 100 Hadith and

00:27:38 --> 00:27:43

mixed up all the chains mix up all the trees. Take a chain from here.

00:27:43 --> 00:27:48

From the first I didn't put in the 2730 Go there, mix up the chain.

00:27:49 --> 00:27:53

Mix up all the names, right. totally messed up all the chains.

00:27:53 --> 00:28:01

Then they recited to him. Each honey. Okay. They recited 100 had

00:28:01 --> 00:28:05

its waiting. Now, by the way back in the day, the memories of people

00:28:05 --> 00:28:08

were phenomenal in the same way that technology today is

00:28:08 --> 00:28:12

phenomenal. Right? I mean, can you even explain what's going on? You

00:28:12 --> 00:28:15

got to recording him? What is even going on? You don't even know?

00:28:15 --> 00:28:19

Right? We don't know. So it's phenomenal. Back in the day that

00:28:19 --> 00:28:24

technology was actually the human brain. So they recited to him all

00:28:24 --> 00:28:27

100 Tricked heavy

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

filled with traps and nerves. Then they said now recite them back and

00:28:33 --> 00:28:37

correct any mistakes that you found. Okay. And then he recited

00:28:37 --> 00:28:41

the back perfectly. He fixed all the mistakes. So this change

00:28:41 --> 00:28:45

actually belongs here. And this name is flipped, right? This chain

00:28:45 --> 00:28:50

belongs here and his name is flipped. Okay. For us a hadith

00:28:50 --> 00:28:55

means the text. Furthermore had the deed, that's too easy. The

00:28:55 --> 00:28:58

hadith is the chain. Right and the text is known.

00:28:59 --> 00:29:03

Buhari is a celebrity How did he die? Just to show you how Allah

00:29:03 --> 00:29:07

chooses the people he loves. Okay, give them a special day.

00:29:09 --> 00:29:15

He retired, had to move back to his homeland. When he arrived back

00:29:15 --> 00:29:19

to his homeland, he was invited by the people and one of his old

00:29:19 --> 00:29:25

chairs. Okay, and one of his old ships, which is actually said that

00:29:25 --> 00:29:29

as a curse to this man, people forget his name. And it's actually

00:29:29 --> 00:29:32

true. Every time I call this story, I forget the ship's name.

00:29:32 --> 00:29:35

It might be like reverse psychology, right? Reverse

00:29:35 --> 00:29:40

psychology but it's actually said it's like a curse that on this

00:29:40 --> 00:29:44

ship, because of what he's about to do to providing that his name

00:29:44 --> 00:29:50

gets forgotten. Right. Now what he did is he invited providing and in

00:29:50 --> 00:29:54

lo and behold, the circle of Makati becomes bigger than his

00:29:54 --> 00:29:59

circle. Right. The circle of body becomes bigger than his so the

00:29:59 --> 00:29:59

shift

00:30:00 --> 00:30:04

starts getting jealous and upset. And it creates a big fitna,

00:30:04 --> 00:30:08

remember. So what was the fifth? We say that the Quran is the

00:30:08 --> 00:30:12

director word of Allah is not created, but we do say our

00:30:12 --> 00:30:17

recitation of it is created is a creation. Well, this shift says

00:30:17 --> 00:30:23

they asked Makati in the recitation of Quran grid said yes,

00:30:23 --> 00:30:27

because Allah says he greets you and what you do, right? And

00:30:27 --> 00:30:31

therefore our action is a creation. So this shed was a bit

00:30:31 --> 00:30:34

extreme in the position. And he said, No, even our recitation of

00:30:34 --> 00:30:39

the Quran is an exception to this verse. And it's uncreated. So he

00:30:39 --> 00:30:42

gathered the people and they say, if it isn't more desolate, and he

00:30:42 --> 00:30:46

says wrong, the leaves and they ended up bobbing around him and

00:30:46 --> 00:30:49

kicking him out, he ended up with like one or two people in his

00:30:49 --> 00:30:53

circle. That's it. And eventually, a mob forced him out.

00:30:54 --> 00:30:56

So he's forced out of his own home city.

00:30:57 --> 00:30:58

He goes to the next city.

00:31:00 --> 00:31:04

He supports a triangle, just like North Carolina has the triangle,

00:31:04 --> 00:31:08

Raleigh, Chapel Hill and whatever the other one is, okay.

00:31:09 --> 00:31:11

Greensboro, Greensboro,

00:31:12 --> 00:31:16

academic triangle, right? Well, bukata has a triangle to provide

00:31:16 --> 00:31:21

you support at some account. Now he goes down to the support, when

00:31:21 --> 00:31:23

he gets an issue for the Emir

00:31:25 --> 00:31:28

tells him to open up a school, I'll pay for it, it pays for the

00:31:28 --> 00:31:31

school, you're the teacher, you have to pay for the school. So

00:31:31 --> 00:31:37

he's opening shortly in, right? He sends him a letter, he says, Come

00:31:37 --> 00:31:38

and educate my kids,

00:31:39 --> 00:31:43

come and educate my kids. I'm encouraged that they could come to

00:31:43 --> 00:31:45

the metals, they can come to the class.

00:31:46 --> 00:31:50

It comes to the class. And he wrote to him at the end will yield

00:31:50 --> 00:31:53

well at knowledge,

00:31:54 --> 00:31:57

you come to knowledge, knowledge doesn't come to you. And there's

00:31:57 --> 00:32:01

great wisdom in this, you're not going to benefit something from

00:32:01 --> 00:32:06

someone coming to you as much as you took Evernote in. Just like in

00:32:06 --> 00:32:11

the past, there used to be a book written by a person, right? You

00:32:11 --> 00:32:15

borrowed the book, and you wrote your own book. There wasn't that

00:32:15 --> 00:32:19

many books to go, you could just buy a book, right? In prison, I

00:32:19 --> 00:32:24

met a man who came out of prison. And he had a lot of knowledge, a

00:32:24 --> 00:32:28

lot of knowledge, right? And so much Allah, you learned a lot.

00:32:28 --> 00:32:33

What How did you learn? He said, I went to some random prison and

00:32:33 --> 00:32:38

some like Indiana, where they didn't have a community. And

00:32:38 --> 00:32:41

there, they did not have a library and Islamic library. So there was

00:32:41 --> 00:32:46

one copy of a hadith book that we must prisoners had to pass it

00:32:46 --> 00:32:51

around. Right? So you got to look at. So he said, Well, why would we

00:32:51 --> 00:32:55

would do what I would do is I will look at a hadith, right. And I

00:32:55 --> 00:32:58

will find the Hadith that I'm going to study. And I would write

00:32:58 --> 00:33:03

it on my forearm. And then I had to memorize it, by the time I last

00:33:03 --> 00:33:07

chance to get the book. So you would like it's easy to memorize,

00:33:07 --> 00:33:10

I'm just looking at I went for that make it although it's erasing

00:33:10 --> 00:33:13

everyday is erasing a little bit more important. And it takes about

00:33:13 --> 00:33:16

four or five days to erase it. So I didn't have it memorized by

00:33:16 --> 00:33:16

them.

00:33:18 --> 00:33:21

So when you decrease people's means that actually end up

00:33:21 --> 00:33:26

producing more, it's really an irony. It's an irony. Just like

00:33:26 --> 00:33:30

human beings, do we consider ourselves strong? I mean, we go to

00:33:30 --> 00:33:35

the moon, we take pictures of space. We know about black holes,

00:33:35 --> 00:33:38

we can communicate to China in a split second.

00:33:39 --> 00:33:43

We're strong, but what has all this technology done to our actual

00:33:43 --> 00:33:44

physical selves?

00:33:45 --> 00:33:48

It's actually hurt our physical selves. Physically, we're very

00:33:48 --> 00:33:52

weak, right? Physically, we're more weak today than before. I

00:33:52 --> 00:33:56

mean, just look at the world of sports, used to have people in

00:33:56 --> 00:34:01

boxing and wrestling gym, ramming people into like pit poles, and

00:34:01 --> 00:34:03

the person would be dizzy for a second and he'd be back up on his

00:34:03 --> 00:34:10

feet. Right? today. It's a touch that he's out with a concussion. A

00:34:10 --> 00:34:15

touch right? Today, I think about this. The helmet of football

00:34:15 --> 00:34:20

today, stronger today or in the 50s. Today, right? Well, if you

00:34:20 --> 00:34:25

look at the history, the actual facts tell us that the brain

00:34:25 --> 00:34:29

situation is getting worse. It's not that they were not

00:34:29 --> 00:34:33

documenting. They were documented, right? They weren't documenting

00:34:33 --> 00:34:37

boxers, boxers and football players were documented that their

00:34:37 --> 00:34:42

injuries were less and then now. So overall, the UPS is getting

00:34:42 --> 00:34:44

weaker. Right? Even though technology is getting stronger.

00:34:45 --> 00:34:49

Now providing then insisted that this shit that he's not going to

00:34:49 --> 00:34:52

the American house. He's not going to teach the governor in his

00:34:52 --> 00:34:57

house. The governor's kids have to come here. The governor became

00:34:57 --> 00:34:59

enraged at this act of disrespect. The chief has

00:35:00 --> 00:35:02

Even with disrespect, he shut down the school kicked him out.

00:35:03 --> 00:35:05

So Bokhara got kicked out of the second set.

00:35:07 --> 00:35:10

And at this time he had one companion left that is even

00:35:10 --> 00:35:13

possible was That was His only companion, but if a Muslim was

00:35:13 --> 00:35:18

about a decade or so younger than him, so he was in the middle level

00:35:18 --> 00:35:20

between the student and his friend.

00:35:21 --> 00:35:24

And that's why it's until your piano their names or attempts to

00:35:24 --> 00:35:25

variables.

00:35:26 --> 00:35:31

Because they weren't actually best friends. Right? A student friend

00:35:31 --> 00:35:35

relationship until it said to Muslim you have to be this is

00:35:36 --> 00:35:40

like, the situation got so bad leaving. So he would remain and

00:35:40 --> 00:35:44

leave. If I didn't travel to some of the third city got sick on the

00:35:44 --> 00:35:49

way got sick on the way. And in a city called the BattleTech.

00:35:50 --> 00:35:54

Okay, got sick. And the people there the villagers they didn't

00:35:54 --> 00:35:59

really read or write didn't know what it was until he died when he

00:35:59 --> 00:35:59

died.

00:36:00 --> 00:36:05

Right. And they started looking at his stuff. Right? They started

00:36:05 --> 00:36:09

looking in his material. And someone said, Well, he has a lot

00:36:09 --> 00:36:16

of buddies works here. Then they realize he is so right. Yes. So so

00:36:16 --> 00:36:19

they sent word to the three cities. And this is the irony of

00:36:19 --> 00:36:23

he was kicked out all three cities, but his janazah all three

00:36:23 --> 00:36:25

cities, everyone had to come to him to mix a lot.

00:36:26 --> 00:36:31

Right? Everyone had to leave their homes and travel to make a lot of

00:36:31 --> 00:36:33

Janessa upon him and he's still very, they're totally

00:36:35 --> 00:36:36

and it's in the Republic

00:36:37 --> 00:36:38

of Uzbekistan

00:36:39 --> 00:36:40

city Kolkata tank.

00:36:42 --> 00:36:48

So Allah azza wa jal, he loves for us to focus on the spirit of the

00:36:48 --> 00:36:52

religion, not the outside of the religion. There is Islamic work,

00:36:52 --> 00:36:58

there's Islamic politics, there's a lot of Islamic stuff. None of it

00:36:58 --> 00:37:02

is the essence of the religion. Essence of the religion is your

00:37:02 --> 00:37:03

relationship with alliances.

00:37:04 --> 00:37:08

And that's why the great idea, okay, Allah treats them with this

00:37:08 --> 00:37:11

special treatment. Okay, and don't think of it that a miserable

00:37:11 --> 00:37:15

death, I want to death and die a pristine death, having been rich

00:37:15 --> 00:37:16

and famous No.

00:37:18 --> 00:37:19

Sound like?

00:37:22 --> 00:37:24

Kimberly, I mean Elijah's

00:37:25 --> 00:37:31

over people who adopt the Ruby format, or move into an Asian

00:37:31 --> 00:37:36

member up, and essentially, this is it alls I want you to write on

00:37:36 --> 00:37:38

the side of the tab.

00:37:39 --> 00:37:46

Allah, if all artists on the course succeeds, but we don't gain

00:37:47 --> 00:37:51

or worse, we lose in bones

00:37:52 --> 00:37:56

that we have lost, that other people have benefited and we have

00:37:56 --> 00:38:01

lost and suffices as a reward of the doer of good that he has

00:38:01 --> 00:38:06

inspired obedience to Him in their hearts and brought upon them the

00:38:06 --> 00:38:10

existence of his reciprocal intimacy and unsimilar.

00:38:17 --> 00:38:22

The gift of worldly wealth, worldly success, worldly fame.

00:38:24 --> 00:38:25

Perfect children.

00:38:26 --> 00:38:28

This is not the gift of allies.

00:38:29 --> 00:38:34

This is not a lesson and it couldn't be Allah's gift. Only if

00:38:34 --> 00:38:35

the real gift

00:38:36 --> 00:38:37

your company's.

00:38:38 --> 00:38:46

Okay, question. I'm striving for a loan. And now I am my dunya is

00:38:46 --> 00:38:51

really good. People like me, I have my spouse is doing great. My

00:38:51 --> 00:38:56

kids are doing great. How do I know is this a test? Or again? The

00:38:56 --> 00:39:02

answer is this. If you have own spinnler, if you have feelings of

00:39:02 --> 00:39:08

intimate nearness to Allah azza wa jal, then all of that is an extra

00:39:08 --> 00:39:12

gift. All of that is extra icing on top of the cake.

00:39:14 --> 00:39:17

But if you do not have the feeling of bones,

00:39:18 --> 00:39:26

and all of that is a lot shutting you up. Just as how do I know? If

00:39:26 --> 00:39:33

a dad his kid asks him, Can I have a tree and he gives it to him

00:39:33 --> 00:39:33

right away.

00:39:35 --> 00:39:38

Right in the dad is busy.

00:39:39 --> 00:39:42

I don't have time to raise kids and tell him it's bad for you. I

00:39:42 --> 00:39:45

don't have time to teach lessons of patients. Take it and go

00:39:45 --> 00:39:50

because I'm busy. Is this level? That's not a gift of love. Right?

00:39:50 --> 00:39:52

It's not the gift of love.

00:39:53 --> 00:39:57

That's just shutting you up. Because of his. Allah azza wa jal

00:39:57 --> 00:39:59

also shuts people up. Okay.

00:40:00 --> 00:40:04

It sets people up by giving them a lot. How do I know? Is Allah

00:40:04 --> 00:40:04

setting me up?

00:40:06 --> 00:40:12

Or is he rewarding? Me? The answer is, did this material thing come

00:40:12 --> 00:40:17

accompanied with once or without ones. If it came accompanied with

00:40:17 --> 00:40:23

feelings that I am feeling close to Allah, I am avoiding more

00:40:23 --> 00:40:27

things than I really was before. I'm doing more than I wasn't

00:40:27 --> 00:40:31

before. And I feel at any given moment, I want to make dua, at any

00:40:31 --> 00:40:33

given moment, I want to pick up

00:40:34 --> 00:40:37

my little plus, okay?

00:40:38 --> 00:40:41

You don't want to pick up my little run and pick it up right

00:40:41 --> 00:40:46

away and read, I just want to want to do, okay, all of that is icing

00:40:46 --> 00:40:51

on top, and your enjoyment is worse with them. Because as a

00:40:51 --> 00:40:52

parent gives a child the gift,

00:40:54 --> 00:40:58

what it gives the parent happiness to see him enjoying it, right. So

00:40:58 --> 00:41:03

likewise, it gives a lot happiness to see what enjoying it, if the

00:41:03 --> 00:41:06

bonds between you and him is there, and what we have to focus

00:41:06 --> 00:41:09

on the brothers and sisters is unsimilar. And what we have to

00:41:09 --> 00:41:15

look for is where am I finding that once I need to be where I

00:41:15 --> 00:41:20

find that sometimes it is a certain message that you go to

00:41:20 --> 00:41:25

that you feel school, and you feel near to a lot, then go for it.

00:41:27 --> 00:41:31

Sometimes it's a certain reciter that I listened to then go for

00:41:31 --> 00:41:35

that open, that's an opening. Sometimes it is a certain book

00:41:35 --> 00:41:40

that I read, go for it. This is what you have to do. Okay, this is

00:41:40 --> 00:41:43

what I have, you have to do. And sometimes that's taken away

00:41:43 --> 00:41:46

because you may move or something, you need to look for another

00:41:46 --> 00:41:51

thing, okay. And sometimes a certain thing is giving me months

00:41:51 --> 00:41:54

but it's no longer given. What do I do

00:41:55 --> 00:41:58

for another thing, this is the meaning of the last statement

00:41:59 --> 00:42:05

except that they have their own energy in that COVID Now they're

00:42:05 --> 00:42:10

not going to go on suddenly lit up pick up initially in the journal

00:42:10 --> 00:42:12

super manual for item acid.

00:42:13 --> 00:42:17

Presumably I'm going to be quizzed on that one either, which one is

00:42:17 --> 00:42:17

it

00:42:27 --> 00:42:27

from

00:42:33 --> 00:42:39

the phones of Africa, the inner veranda also it means the sanitary

00:42:39 --> 00:42:47

desire means if you feel that you have squeezed something, a shed

00:42:47 --> 00:42:48

evoke

00:42:49 --> 00:42:54

something used squeezed in all and now it's not giving you the same

00:42:54 --> 00:42:55

ones anymore.

00:42:56 --> 00:43:01

Find something else, right find something else, right? Sometimes

00:43:01 --> 00:43:06

listening to a pseudo or studying a pseudo Okay, gives you so much

00:43:06 --> 00:43:10

happiness, then there comes a point that happiness is not coming

00:43:10 --> 00:43:15

anymore. So what do I do? You find something else, Allah so if he has

00:43:15 --> 00:43:18

one of the income here, let my article welcome in that minute, no

00:43:18 --> 00:43:21

one and anybody that we're going to come to this one hiccup, take

00:43:21 --> 00:43:27

him on. He says, when Allah saw human beings get bored, boredom

00:43:27 --> 00:43:30

was a great thing about being put inside of human beings. When he

00:43:30 --> 00:43:34

found know that people get bored, he made the act of worship all

00:43:34 --> 00:43:38

different. They're all different. The acts of worship are all

00:43:38 --> 00:43:39

different. Okay?

00:43:40 --> 00:43:44

So you might find yourself one season, you just discover

00:43:44 --> 00:43:50

something new. And you squeezing until it becomes normal to now.

00:43:50 --> 00:43:53

Now you need to find something else. Keep a little bit of that,

00:43:53 --> 00:43:57

for the sake of consistency. All right, because you're not you're

00:43:57 --> 00:44:00

gonna get a psychological mess up and keep jumping around. No, keep

00:44:00 --> 00:44:03

some of it for consistency, then move to something

00:44:08 --> 00:44:11

if somebody's trying to memorize us

00:44:12 --> 00:44:15

should say the cat and

00:44:16 --> 00:44:21

sometimes the door closes. So sit and go back to just like and this

00:44:21 --> 00:44:25

happens in all things. I mean, all of us. We took math right in

00:44:25 --> 00:44:29

school. So many times a math problem is just locked. You're not

00:44:29 --> 00:44:33

getting anywhere. What do you do? You walk away you forget about it.

00:44:33 --> 00:44:36

You go back, it's opened up right away. Same thing.

00:44:38 --> 00:44:44

When we work, we should look for the open door. If Allah has closed

00:44:44 --> 00:44:45

the door, leave,

00:44:46 --> 00:44:49

come back to it later and try again until it opens.

00:44:50 --> 00:44:55

It being persistent, does not mean denying the reality in front of

00:44:55 --> 00:44:59

you. If a door is locked leaving and I have to tell this all the

00:44:59 --> 00:45:00

time.

00:45:00 --> 00:45:05

other brothers when they're getting engaged, okay? I'm telling

00:45:05 --> 00:45:08

you about whether my mother is disapproving, or her mother's

00:45:08 --> 00:45:11

disapproving leave it. Right? Don't wait.

00:45:12 --> 00:45:16

Marriage has entered in easily, right? With happiness not with

00:45:17 --> 00:45:21

someone being miserable. It's going to come back to haunt you.

00:45:21 --> 00:45:26

No one can be miserable from the important thing. Okay? If one

00:45:26 --> 00:45:31

person is miserable because of a marriage guarantee 110% You can

00:45:31 --> 00:45:36

bet your house on it. It's not gonna happen if the mom or dad on

00:45:36 --> 00:45:41

either side unless it's an extreme case like your dad. He is like a

00:45:41 --> 00:45:44

white supremacist and he's doesn't happy that you're Muslim in the

00:45:44 --> 00:45:48

first place. That's different. Right but we're talking to common

00:45:48 --> 00:45:54

case was the mom and dad. Okay, common situation. If anymore, you

00:45:54 --> 00:45:59

stole the girl from another man, well, you know this, or you stole

00:45:59 --> 00:46:02

the husband from another woman, you know, that's

00:46:04 --> 00:46:08

okay. The marriage may technically be allowed, but you broke

00:46:08 --> 00:46:11

someone's heart in the process, I guarantee you that broken heart,

00:46:11 --> 00:46:14

all that pain is going to come up it's going to find itself on your

00:46:14 --> 00:46:18

head someday guaranteed. So everyone should be happy right

00:46:18 --> 00:46:20

everyone's got to be happy. So

00:46:26 --> 00:46:28

it's not going to be disrespect. So long as you have the intention

00:46:28 --> 00:46:29

to go back to

00:46:31 --> 00:46:31

it

00:46:33 --> 00:46:40

men are only saying Jana Zhu Min Elliott parameter IT guru that

00:46:41 --> 00:46:43

amount probably half the girls are

00:46:45 --> 00:46:49

very critical lesson that ship evangelist Center.

00:46:53 --> 00:46:58

She had redcentric talked about recently and this is men, many

00:46:58 --> 00:47:01

industry are talking about it, but he summarized it in a way that is

00:47:01 --> 00:47:02

excellent.

00:47:03 --> 00:47:08

Whatever words he was in for some hope or in order to stave off a

00:47:08 --> 00:47:09

chastisement

00:47:10 --> 00:47:14

has not concerned himself with the real nature of worship.

00:47:16 --> 00:47:19

And for ourselves for the youth.

00:47:21 --> 00:47:26

The essence of towhee is you should feel that you know a lot.

00:47:26 --> 00:47:27

So,

00:47:28 --> 00:47:32

you studied over the attributes you studied you read you should

00:47:32 --> 00:47:34

feel in your heart, you know a lot. So

00:47:35 --> 00:47:39

once you have reached this, the chain is there. Now, we don't

00:47:39 --> 00:47:44

worry about too many, really such a person. Anything that happened

00:47:44 --> 00:47:45

will be incidental.

00:47:46 --> 00:47:52

What we worry about is the one who all he knows is fear and hope. We

00:47:52 --> 00:47:57

worry about it. Because as soon as fear is gone, you should stop. You

00:47:57 --> 00:48:03

can stop as soon as hope is gone, or desire is achieved. Because it

00:48:03 --> 00:48:07

is gonna stop. But if he knows a lot directly one to one, and he

00:48:07 --> 00:48:11

feels I know this is my work. I know. Right? And he knows me.

00:48:11 --> 00:48:15

Okay, that person you should never hear from him ever again. You

00:48:15 --> 00:48:17

don't have to pay for anything that will happen to him will be

00:48:17 --> 00:48:22

the outside. All right. There was a shot at one time that

00:48:23 --> 00:48:29

one of the students was doing anything's right. One of the

00:48:29 --> 00:48:35

Marines in London. He got the job and family. He wasn't even doing

00:48:35 --> 00:48:39

the boat up. What is the old rod is like the rods, the rods?

00:48:40 --> 00:48:44

Everyone should be doing that every night. Okay. Every night we

00:48:44 --> 00:48:47

should do the rods or some similar wouldn't.

00:48:48 --> 00:48:49

He wasn't even doing that.

00:48:50 --> 00:48:51

He was doing nothing.

00:48:53 --> 00:48:58

Right? So the CHE notice that people are looking down on him.

00:48:59 --> 00:49:05

He said him. Right. He may or may not do it right. It's good to do

00:49:05 --> 00:49:09

it obviously, is tied, is connected. Right? It's connected.

00:49:10 --> 00:49:16

So he can go far off. Right when Allah wants to yank him and why?

00:49:16 --> 00:49:18

Because he has a direct connection with Allah azza wa jal. He knows

00:49:18 --> 00:49:23

he has a connection. Right? Now, no one should rely on them. We

00:49:23 --> 00:49:29

should act as if we have nothing that we have to act. You got to

00:49:29 --> 00:49:32

act how you used to act when you first started to learn about the

00:49:32 --> 00:49:35

deed. When we first started to learn about the deed we acted like

00:49:37 --> 00:49:40

very nervous, very scared, make sure I want to do everything

00:49:40 --> 00:49:45

right. Don't lose them. Right? Even though you move on, don't

00:49:45 --> 00:49:47

lose them. You still got to be very

00:49:48 --> 00:49:52

vigilant. Make sure everything's right. Take everything seriously.

00:49:52 --> 00:49:54

Look up to people. Okay.

00:49:55 --> 00:49:56

So

00:49:57 --> 00:49:59

the fear is

00:50:00 --> 00:50:01

It ends as security,

00:50:03 --> 00:50:09

the emotion, the motivation of fear and dies at security. Once

00:50:09 --> 00:50:10

you are secure,

00:50:11 --> 00:50:15

you're not fearful anymore. This is why I believe personally,

00:50:15 --> 00:50:20

there's a Heckman in a lot of anti Islamic stuff going on. It's a

00:50:20 --> 00:50:21

great thing.

00:50:22 --> 00:50:26

If you're comfortable, what goes on? Tell me. Some people here are

00:50:26 --> 00:50:32

aware of the Islamic environment before 911. Right? And after,

00:50:33 --> 00:50:34

before 911.

00:50:36 --> 00:50:41

There was it was dead. There was very little activity, if you think

00:50:41 --> 00:50:44

about it, in comparison to now. Now there's so much activity,

00:50:44 --> 00:50:48

right? And what happened in two years that the population change.

00:50:48 --> 00:50:52

You notice before 911, you didn't really see anyone sit around after

00:50:52 --> 00:50:56

lunch? Right? What happened to the population is not going to jump to

00:50:56 --> 00:50:57

two years, right? In one year.

00:50:58 --> 00:51:01

Allah azza wa jal had to look at many Israelis.

00:51:03 --> 00:51:06

When Israel when their population started to grow so big and they're

00:51:06 --> 00:51:09

just going to dissolve in the community. What did he do? He

00:51:09 --> 00:51:14

inspired Fidel to have them on his target. And he started attacking

00:51:14 --> 00:51:18

them and hurting them. Right. And what did they start doing,

00:51:18 --> 00:51:19

awaiting the Messiah,

00:51:21 --> 00:51:24

awaiting their deliver was Moses. I mean, they didn't call him

00:51:24 --> 00:51:30

resign. But so fear dies, the motivation of fear dies, as soon

00:51:30 --> 00:51:31

as you are secure.

00:51:32 --> 00:51:38

The motivation of desire dies as soon as you acquire.

00:51:40 --> 00:51:43

Desire dies upon acquisition.

00:51:44 --> 00:51:46

So you're working really hard,

00:51:47 --> 00:51:52

subliminally, you actually don't realize you are working for a

00:51:52 --> 00:51:57

motive to get out of a bad situation. Right? Or to get a good

00:51:57 --> 00:52:03

situation. As soon as you get it. Everything drops. Because that

00:52:03 --> 00:52:04

motivation is dead. No.

00:52:05 --> 00:52:10

But the motivation of love never dies. The motivation of love never

00:52:10 --> 00:52:15

dies. Okay? automation of love never dies. This is why what he's

00:52:15 --> 00:52:20

saying here. If you worship the love, for fear or desire, you have

00:52:20 --> 00:52:25

worshipped him, it's accepted. But you have not recognized him.

00:52:25 --> 00:52:29

You're still thinking about some other creation, you're using him

00:52:29 --> 00:52:34

for creation. Security is a creation. A good life is a

00:52:34 --> 00:52:38

creation. So you use the creator for the creation. How does that

00:52:38 --> 00:52:39

make any sense?

00:52:40 --> 00:52:44

That's not good. Do you use the creator for the creation? What

00:52:44 --> 00:52:47

he's saying here is use the creator for the Creator, approach

00:52:47 --> 00:52:52

the Creator, not for the creation, approaching for the creator for

00:52:52 --> 00:52:55

himself, and again, this goes back to my lungs have been done. The

00:52:55 --> 00:53:01

heart and soul of religion is the feeling that you have that you are

00:53:01 --> 00:53:04

talking to a lot that you are new to him that he's listening to you

00:53:04 --> 00:53:08

that he's watching you and then soon as you increase in your area

00:53:08 --> 00:53:13

that you will find the right answers. You will find a loss

00:53:13 --> 00:53:18

meaning to you through events and incidents happened through events

00:53:18 --> 00:53:22

and incidents happen you will find direct answers to what you ask.

00:53:22 --> 00:53:26

Okay, direct answers coming in. You realize that Allah speaks to

00:53:26 --> 00:53:31

people through a veil. Right? What is francais? Quran says it is now

00:53:31 --> 00:53:36

for Allah azza wa jal to speak to anyone except for behind the veil

00:53:36 --> 00:53:38

11 Mariah, right or wrong?

00:53:39 --> 00:53:43

The Hijab is what? You think that it's going to be actual occurred

00:53:43 --> 00:53:48

and no, the hijab is the ratio. Allah speaks to us through the

00:53:48 --> 00:53:53

creation, okay, our dua is answered or our questions are

00:53:53 --> 00:53:56

confirmed through the 3g Passenger

00:53:59 --> 00:54:00

mental kilometer

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

or will it

00:54:03 --> 00:54:08

be we'll do the set up where I've been worried of incidents.

00:54:13 --> 00:54:13

So

00:54:17 --> 00:54:19

when you seek recompense for a deed,

00:54:21 --> 00:54:25

the existence of sincerity is demanded of you in return.

00:54:26 --> 00:54:28

As for the insincere

00:54:29 --> 00:54:32

the feeling of security from chastisements devices.

00:54:35 --> 00:54:38

If the intention underlying worship and other purchase needs

00:54:38 --> 00:54:44

is solely the acquisition of compensation, that Allah will show

00:54:44 --> 00:54:48

me that only I can accomplish by sincerity is worthy of reward.

00:54:49 --> 00:54:53

If sincerity truly existed in one, one would not have rendered the

00:54:53 --> 00:54:58

deed in expectation of compensation for such a person, it

00:54:58 --> 00:54:59

will survive and he is not

00:55:00 --> 00:55:00

audition

00:55:08 --> 00:55:12

is lost has diligence. It was intelligent.

00:55:15 --> 00:55:18

And thorough jobs can be mixed levels can be mixed.

00:55:19 --> 00:55:26

The highest degree of in Laos is that you worship Allah. Because it

00:55:26 --> 00:55:27

is an honor to you

00:55:28 --> 00:55:30

to be worshipped to be in worship

00:55:32 --> 00:55:36

are being honored here. That is the highest degree of sincerity

00:55:36 --> 00:55:41

that you enter into an act of worship, almost making hazard on

00:55:41 --> 00:55:42

yourself.

00:55:43 --> 00:55:49

Because you feel you are the one being murdered. Okay, you are, how

00:55:49 --> 00:55:54

far? How much of a far cry is that from the actual feelings people

00:55:54 --> 00:55:55

have when they get up from

00:55:57 --> 00:56:01

the actual feeling of burden? The actual feeling of difficulty.

00:56:03 --> 00:56:07

The actual feeling of let me just get this off my back. Okay.

00:56:08 --> 00:56:13

All right. They even have phrases up. They used to say we need to

00:56:13 --> 00:56:20

slam out my room, right? Okay, and not calculation. Okay. The feeling

00:56:21 --> 00:56:27

of you are being honored in this mocha in this column is not even

00:56:27 --> 00:56:29

there. You're the one being on

00:56:31 --> 00:56:33

and the sinner

00:56:34 --> 00:56:39

shaytaan makes you feel you're a bad boy. Right? You're you have

00:56:39 --> 00:56:44

Nolan's like you're a rebel. Okay, that you're bracing yourself and

00:56:44 --> 00:56:49

you don't realize in the heavens, you are putting your as if someone

00:56:49 --> 00:56:54

in this life has an adjustment didn't walk into the streets. How

00:56:54 --> 00:56:59

do you use someone who has an agenda on his clothes? How did you

00:56:59 --> 00:57:03

smell? How do people view him in the heavens when his deep comes

00:57:03 --> 00:57:09

up? With his name on it? That's what he's like. Okay, reeking.

00:57:10 --> 00:57:15

All right. He should be shaved. out unfortunately, the center.

00:57:16 --> 00:57:18

What does he walk around with a puffed chest like on the bad boy,

00:57:19 --> 00:57:23

I'm all I break all those. Right? That's how he walks around. He

00:57:23 --> 00:57:26

doesn't realize he shouldn't be embarrassed. He's an

00:57:26 --> 00:57:29

embarrassment. When it comes and his deeds are going up in heaven.

00:57:29 --> 00:57:33

It's an embarrassment. Okay. It's called he's a cause of

00:57:33 --> 00:57:36

embarrassment for his rent. His grandparents who had died and his

00:57:36 --> 00:57:39

father was died, his mother was died. He's a cause of an

00:57:39 --> 00:57:41

embarrassment for them. And they have.

00:57:43 --> 00:57:51

So what he's saying here, when you ask for something in return, okay,

00:57:52 --> 00:57:55

of a deal, you have made a total miscalculation. Now, what is he

00:57:55 --> 00:57:57

saying here? Don't ask? No.

00:57:58 --> 00:58:03

He's saying ask. But don't imagine a trade off. Don't try to imagine

00:58:03 --> 00:58:09

the trade. You have overvalued your dt, way overvalued your deed,

00:58:09 --> 00:58:14

and imagine that it's worth something, right? But a person who

00:58:14 --> 00:58:18

needs something, what he should do, is he should do this deed, do

00:58:18 --> 00:58:22

this trade off. But he should do this trade off and say all this

00:58:22 --> 00:58:23

deep history.

00:58:24 --> 00:58:30

And now I asked for you this. Okay? I just like adding, imagine

00:58:30 --> 00:58:35

yourself going into the presence of a very rich person. Okay, who's

00:58:35 --> 00:58:37

going to give you a big grant

00:58:38 --> 00:58:42

or something, or a job, and you're bringing him a cake,

00:58:44 --> 00:58:48

or a Parker pen or something with his name engraved on it. Don't if

00:58:48 --> 00:58:52

you come in and act as if your this is a trade you have insulted

00:58:52 --> 00:58:56

him. But if you act as this is a gift for you, now I need something

00:58:56 --> 00:59:01

from you. It's accepted. But if you act as if this is a business

00:59:01 --> 00:59:05

deal here, this is your side. Now I want my son, you're out of

00:59:05 --> 00:59:09

there. Because what are you giving him? What can you possibly give

00:59:09 --> 00:59:14

him? Nothing? Right? This is why they think gifts to presidents and

00:59:14 --> 00:59:19

to big CEOs who can get new jobs. It's all symbolic. This is about

00:59:19 --> 00:59:24

the right expression. Okay, likewise. So we do the need

00:59:25 --> 00:59:29

for Allah azza wa jal and ask him and can view them as separate

00:59:29 --> 00:59:36

transactions. Don't imagine it as a trade off, okay. Now, whenever

00:59:37 --> 00:59:41

you seek something from Allah azza wa jal, your sincerity is going to

00:59:41 --> 00:59:42

be tested and he takes us from

00:59:43 --> 00:59:45

I have seen witness way up.

00:59:48 --> 00:59:52

To people imagine that they're going to do something for Allah

00:59:53 --> 00:59:57

and not be tested. Allah azza wa jal, one of his attributes he

00:59:57 --> 00:59:57

loves charity.

00:59:58 --> 00:59:59

He loves purity.

01:00:00 --> 01:00:03

He loves purity and all things. The carpet you proud has to be

01:00:03 --> 01:00:07

pure. The clothes your brain has seen in Europe, your skin may not

01:00:07 --> 01:00:12

have been ADESA your clothes may not have been adjusted. Okay? Your

01:00:12 --> 01:00:15

mouth is recommended to wash it before salon, don't go to salon

01:00:16 --> 01:00:20

with a bad smelling mouth. This is my crew. But more importantly,

01:00:20 --> 01:00:26

your heart can not have an associate. Okay? In your act of

01:00:26 --> 01:00:29

worship. Now, does this mean you can't love other than a love? Of

01:00:29 --> 01:00:35

course, of course, you can love me a heart can hold many things are

01:00:35 --> 01:00:40

can hold many things. And it also can hold bad things as long as you

01:00:40 --> 01:00:44

don't act upon because Allah azza wa jal says you may love a thing

01:00:44 --> 01:00:45

and it's bad for you.

01:00:46 --> 01:00:50

You may love a thing and it's bad for you. Okay, so Allah recognizes

01:00:50 --> 01:00:53

you may love Allah and you may love something really bad too.

01:00:54 --> 01:00:58

But what does that actually indicate to us? That means that

01:00:58 --> 01:01:00

art is accepted as long as he doesn't act upon the bad thing.

01:01:00 --> 01:01:04

But it also indicates you may love a lot and many mundane things too.

01:01:05 --> 01:01:08

I mean, people love computers, people love technology people of

01:01:08 --> 01:01:11

course, all this is valid and accepted, so long as it doesn't

01:01:11 --> 01:01:15

cause them to do a bad deed. However, when it comes to

01:01:16 --> 01:01:22

acts of a Mazda, you may never use Allah as our judge worship for

01:01:22 --> 01:01:27

dunya for anything other than okay, this is what is rejected.

01:01:28 --> 01:01:29

This is what is rejected.

01:01:32 --> 01:01:32

Now,

01:01:33 --> 01:01:36

the one who has a sickness is intention.

01:01:38 --> 01:01:42

The one who has a sickness and his intention that he acts and his

01:01:42 --> 01:01:47

intention is never tested, that he acts for multiple causes. Okay?

01:01:47 --> 01:01:51

Many people do this, right. Some people become involved in a

01:01:51 --> 01:01:55

masjid. So they have to show everyone that they pray all the

01:01:55 --> 01:02:00

sudden is, right. But then you see him. If he's in another masjid,

01:02:01 --> 01:02:05

where the community doesn't see him is barely dipping out to

01:02:05 --> 01:02:10

Africa, then he's got, right. So where's the cluster? If you truly

01:02:10 --> 01:02:13

pray for a lot, so it doesn't matter if you're in the community,

01:02:13 --> 01:02:15

if you're in your house, if you're in another message, you're gonna

01:02:15 --> 01:02:17

do it. Right.

01:02:18 --> 01:02:22

So this what is he saying your if your sincerity is shaky, it's

01:02:22 --> 01:02:23

enough that you're not being punished?

01:02:24 --> 01:02:26

Right? It's enough that you're not being watched by

01:02:29 --> 01:02:33

someone with a weak intention, and sufficient that is on the first

01:02:34 --> 01:02:36

lap of anomaly Lester,

01:02:39 --> 01:02:42

young female and designer in Germany and Canada.

01:02:44 --> 01:02:48

Do not seek recompense for a deed whose Doer was not healed. It

01:02:48 --> 01:02:53

suffices you as recompense for the deed that he accepts. Right It

01:02:53 --> 01:02:56

should be understood that Allah is the true DOER of all actions.

01:02:56 --> 01:03:00

Therefore, in worship the servants gauge should be on Allah Most

01:03:00 --> 01:03:05

High, is very powerful. When you do a deed. If you imagine yourself

01:03:05 --> 01:03:11

doing it, that alone doing this, it opens you up to arrogance, and

01:03:11 --> 01:03:14

conceit. But if you're constantly remind yourself that Allah is

01:03:14 --> 01:03:17

facilitating this, I'm not really doing it alone, facilitating it,

01:03:17 --> 01:03:22

then you it closes the door. It's arrogance, and arrogance from

01:03:22 --> 01:03:25

religious people is the worst center, who was the first person

01:03:25 --> 01:03:28

from any policy we know who was the first person to go to help

01:03:29 --> 01:03:34

Islamic scholars, good scholars, scholars that we may be reading

01:03:34 --> 01:03:38

from and learning from, how are they going to help? They view

01:03:38 --> 01:03:42

their action, their own action, therefore, they increase an

01:03:42 --> 01:03:46

arrogance. Honestly, if you're the one who did it, you deserve

01:03:46 --> 01:03:52

praise, right? But to so wolf teaches us to protect ourselves

01:03:52 --> 01:03:56

from arrogance, by reminding ourselves even while doing the

01:03:56 --> 01:03:57

deed, I'm not the doer.

01:04:00 --> 01:04:02

Allah subhanaw taala is that I created you and what you do,

01:04:03 --> 01:04:07

therefore this action of mine is the creation of Allah, I should

01:04:07 --> 01:04:13

just be honored that he gave me this act to do much less if I'm

01:04:13 --> 01:04:16

not even the doer of that, right.

01:04:17 --> 01:04:21

Like, Yanni, you have to accept a reward for an act that you didn't

01:04:21 --> 01:04:24

do. Someone thinks you did it.

01:04:25 --> 01:04:25

Okay.

01:04:27 --> 01:04:29

Many people enter into Islam, right.

01:04:31 --> 01:04:35

Someone you know entered into Islam, maybe despite maybe not

01:04:35 --> 01:04:38

from you, that you expect a reward from that.

01:04:44 --> 01:04:47

Since the serpent is not the creator of his good deeds, it is

01:04:47 --> 01:04:53

highly improper for him to desire compensation as though it is his

01:04:53 --> 01:04:57

right notice here. We're not saying we don't want compensation

01:04:57 --> 01:05:00

to clauses as it is right

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

Hey, again treating allow like an equal here, I give you this, you

01:05:05 --> 01:05:06

give me this,

01:05:07 --> 01:05:11

shake these as two separate transaction Oh Allah, you gave me

01:05:11 --> 01:05:18

this wonderful COVID to do this act, I now ask you for this, okay?

01:05:19 --> 01:05:22

And I'm telling you the one who truly understands the law and

01:05:22 --> 01:05:22

doesn't need any of this.

01:05:24 --> 01:05:27

Right? We said in the first or second or third class, we said,

01:05:28 --> 01:05:34

when you ask the greatest Wartsila is Allah Himself to say of Allah?

01:05:34 --> 01:05:37

So why should I give you anything? Don't start thinking I did this,

01:05:37 --> 01:05:40

this and that's not. That's just very simple because you're alone?

01:05:40 --> 01:05:43

Because you're the generous, right? You're the generous because

01:05:43 --> 01:05:47

you're the forgiving, okay, why should I give you if you did this?

01:05:47 --> 01:05:52

If you did sin x, because you're the forgiving Wellsville, I turned

01:05:52 --> 01:05:56

to the key with Eliza, which is that you don't want anyone else

01:05:56 --> 01:06:00

and that he accepts. Right? That you know, and sometimes some

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

people ask, why isn't my prayer accepted? Right? This is a test

01:06:07 --> 01:06:11

Allah seeing if you're going to turn to someone else. A lot to see

01:06:11 --> 01:06:13

if you're gonna start turning to someone else. And this happens all

01:06:13 --> 01:06:16

the time. You're afraid you're gonna get in trouble. Oh, Allah

01:06:16 --> 01:06:20

protecting me? Well, the signs of protection aren't coming. Now he

01:06:20 --> 01:06:23

starts to turn to creation. Right? He starts to turn into the

01:06:23 --> 01:06:27

creation isn't the creation as a God that can prevent? Allah tests

01:06:27 --> 01:06:30

us? He doesn't give us what we need at the time to see are you

01:06:30 --> 01:06:34

going to leave or not? Okay, are you going to leave the door or

01:06:34 --> 01:06:35

not?

01:06:37 --> 01:06:42

We have the example of one of the machete paths back in the day and

01:06:42 --> 01:06:47

the time of your mother has led you to God you shouldn't have

01:06:47 --> 01:06:51

without evacuate. That would have been a shattering a ton of these

01:06:51 --> 01:06:55

will shave the hair the good was so much in the moment that

01:06:55 --> 01:07:01

genetics, the mache, in order to actually worship Allah had to flee

01:07:02 --> 01:07:02

to the desert,

01:07:04 --> 01:07:08

or the mountains, because so many students are digging them, right

01:07:08 --> 01:07:14

or surrounding them. And they said they felt no guilt in doing so

01:07:14 --> 01:07:16

because of how many shifts there were.

01:07:17 --> 01:07:20

Right, because of how many shifts there were to teach the people. So

01:07:20 --> 01:07:23

the absence of one or two or 10 is not going to affect the community.

01:07:23 --> 01:07:27

That's how good the error was. When you see that the machete is

01:07:27 --> 01:07:27

the amount of mountain

01:07:29 --> 01:07:33

he's living on the mountain for a reason. There are so many things

01:07:33 --> 01:07:38

that he feels that his absence is not going to harm the home. Right?

01:07:38 --> 01:07:42

And he needs three times the words of Allah. So Jay Rockefeller Jean,

01:07:42 --> 01:07:46

and he said that, okay, the mache is leaving his time, there were so

01:07:46 --> 01:07:49

many shapes, and so many students. In order for the shift to have any

01:07:49 --> 01:07:53

time for himself, he had to leave to flee. Now one of them shaking

01:07:53 --> 01:07:57

took on a practice that ended if a student comes to seek knowledge,

01:07:57 --> 01:08:00

he doesn't have time for students coming for popularity or

01:08:00 --> 01:08:04

something. He wants to real student. Okay, so what would he do

01:08:04 --> 01:08:09

with rebel Republicans? or repel him? We tell him, send him away.

01:08:10 --> 01:08:12

Teacher asking for dollars. No.

01:08:13 --> 01:08:16

He's asking to be a student. No. Let me sit in your house. And

01:08:18 --> 01:08:19

let me come to your veterans

01:08:20 --> 01:08:21

for a year or two.

01:08:23 --> 01:08:24

And if he still keeps coming,

01:08:25 --> 01:08:31

he's proven his sincerity that he can come. Right. So that was how

01:08:31 --> 01:08:37

good the arrow was that I mean, just to study with a certain shade

01:08:38 --> 01:08:44

is a feather in your cap in the society. So the machete, they know

01:08:44 --> 01:08:47

this, so they need to make it a little hard like they need to own

01:08:47 --> 01:08:50

it they want to insincere students, so they will help repel

01:08:50 --> 01:08:54

and repel and repel students. Alright, so much so that some of

01:08:54 --> 01:08:59

them would like sleep at the door of some machine. Okay, the ship

01:08:59 --> 01:09:02

would have to get security ready to remove. That's how much people

01:09:02 --> 01:09:03

wanted knowledge back in the day.

01:09:09 --> 01:09:12

Alright, we have to, we're gonna stop you're taking a break or

01:09:12 --> 01:09:15

breaking out any quick questions that we can entertain real quick.

01:09:16 --> 01:09:17

Yep.

01:09:19 --> 01:09:19

So

01:09:20 --> 01:09:22

if somebody

01:09:24 --> 01:09:31

makes the desire and says that I will have fast or create a

01:09:31 --> 01:09:31

bathroom.

01:09:34 --> 01:09:38

He does all this knowing this is a token symbolism of gratitude. What

01:09:38 --> 01:09:42

he's saying here, we do not treat Allah as equal business partners

01:09:42 --> 01:09:46

because what we're giving is nothing. So when we could go for

01:09:46 --> 01:09:51

efforts and say, Oh, I'll put this effort recognize that Allah is not

01:09:51 --> 01:09:55

in need of your effort. And that is never going to be that is the

01:09:55 --> 01:09:56

correct way to

01:09:59 --> 01:09:59

watch the record.

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

Was it

01:10:01 --> 01:10:02

just the other day when

01:10:03 --> 01:10:08

everything that Southern guys was? Like, yes, you can follow them and

01:10:08 --> 01:10:09

like that.

01:10:10 --> 01:10:12

There is like a benefit to that it's

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

so weird that

01:10:17 --> 01:10:20

you're not that you never take on the attitude of

01:10:24 --> 01:10:26

Father, as if you are

01:10:27 --> 01:10:29

everything on the attitude of arrogance, that

01:10:31 --> 01:10:34

as if how would you talk to a tenant? And you say that the

01:10:34 --> 01:10:40

tenants, they are right? Never take that attitude will live. And

01:10:40 --> 01:10:45

always know that even in the absence of your action, I love

01:10:45 --> 01:10:50

generosity is enough. Right? Even in the absence of my unable to do

01:10:50 --> 01:10:52

it, because generosity is enough.

01:10:54 --> 01:10:58

So again, all of these are good things, but they become bad. If

01:10:58 --> 01:11:02

the true understanding of Allah is not there. If it's there, then all

01:11:02 --> 01:11:04

these are fun. All

01:11:06 --> 01:11:07

right.

01:11:08 --> 01:11:10

To us, and then our

01:11:15 --> 01:11:21

just go by the patient, he says, and you let me know

01:11:23 --> 01:11:26

what you mean? Can you lend me the answer?

01:11:28 --> 01:11:33

You were more in need of his forbearance when you go main. And

01:11:34 --> 01:11:35

then when you disobey.

01:11:36 --> 01:11:39

When people make a new state or wrong, they feel

01:11:41 --> 01:11:48

that they need Allah's forgiveness, they need him to have

01:11:48 --> 01:11:49

some of them.

01:11:51 --> 01:11:55

But they don't have these feelings. When they do good when

01:11:55 --> 01:11:59

they do, and so be really in reality,

01:12:01 --> 01:12:05

you need it even more. And he's going to explain the excellence

01:12:05 --> 01:12:09

and loftiness of discernment or in his own awareness is the actual

01:12:09 --> 01:12:15

goal of all the worship is only available to us at all times. And

01:12:15 --> 01:12:19

in all acts is gauged must remain focused on a level such as a

01:12:19 --> 01:12:24

beggar might solicit food from his menu, its actions, deeds,

01:12:25 --> 01:12:31

and even his existence, are completely out of his sight. When

01:12:31 --> 01:12:34

he went in this Excellence, which was to his reliance is only not

01:12:34 --> 01:12:39

allowable silent, heart derived solace from only him and the

01:12:39 --> 01:12:41

direction of his heart is only focused on him. There remains

01:12:41 --> 01:12:45

absolutely no trust whatsoever complains. Right? So he goes on

01:12:45 --> 01:12:47

now, but I'll stop summarizing what he's saying.

01:12:49 --> 01:12:54

When you commit the wrong action, you know, you're down. And that

01:12:54 --> 01:13:01

you are indeed when you commit a good action, if you are very easy,

01:13:01 --> 01:13:04

with to pretend vulnerable to slip up

01:13:05 --> 01:13:07

into spiritual arrogance.

01:13:08 --> 01:13:14

And spiritual arrogance is a far worse state than the state of

01:13:14 --> 01:13:18

someone who does the physical stuff. Okay. So for this reason,

01:13:18 --> 01:13:18

he said

01:13:21 --> 01:13:28

you did a sin. Okay? You need also, but the sin is outward, you

01:13:28 --> 01:13:31

know that there is no denying it, there's nothing to be proud of.

01:13:32 --> 01:13:36

Right? So yes, you soiled yourself,

01:13:37 --> 01:13:43

by Your situation is clear your situations when, in contrast, in

01:13:43 --> 01:13:48

contrast, you do a good deed, you are at a great risk

01:13:49 --> 01:13:54

of walking away bodily with arrogance is you're very

01:13:54 --> 01:13:59

vulnerable to this attack. Okay, you're very vulnerable to this

01:13:59 --> 01:14:02

attack. And this is why

01:14:04 --> 01:14:09

if at all, love says the one who does good is in more need of

01:14:09 --> 01:14:13

Allah's forgiveness and protection. Because he is very

01:14:13 --> 01:14:18

quickly slip up now is deadly. Right? If you're a sinner, how are

01:14:18 --> 01:14:21

you going to struggle? You already slipped? You're down, you know,

01:14:21 --> 01:14:25

you're, nobody's to tell you, you're done. So your state is no

01:14:25 --> 01:14:27

good. When it's clearly

01:14:29 --> 01:14:34

not the one who does good is as if some elevates on a mountain. As

01:14:34 --> 01:14:38

the higher he goes, the greater his race, the more he has to be

01:14:38 --> 01:14:44

careful of this step. And this is why Okay, so that the NASA talks

01:14:44 --> 01:14:49

about victory, what does it wasn't doing anything? For some bear the

01:14:49 --> 01:14:50

hunger of being here?

01:14:53 --> 01:14:58

Why is it that Allah sounds when we have victory is a victory that

01:14:58 --> 01:14:59

the opening of outcomes

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

In the agenda, not sure why well,

01:15:02 --> 01:15:05

now what is the greatest victory possible? Alright, and as

01:15:08 --> 01:15:10

Allah told us, the greatest victory possible people are

01:15:10 --> 01:15:14

entering into Islam is the greatest week, a very nice victory

01:15:14 --> 01:15:18

not to have the most conquest, the greatest victory South Africa's

01:15:18 --> 01:15:23

biggest selling kingdom, the greatest victory is not to have

01:15:23 --> 01:15:27

the biggest cost and glory, the greatest victories people are

01:15:27 --> 01:15:30

entering into this love what I did as a group

01:15:31 --> 01:15:32

of words.

01:15:33 --> 01:15:37

So now, if you have accomplished the greatest victory, what do you

01:15:37 --> 01:15:39

do a set

01:15:40 --> 01:15:45

of data. When you say some kind of a love, it means everyone has

01:15:45 --> 01:15:49

imperfections and Allah has no imperfections. So you're saying a

01:15:49 --> 01:15:51

lot is perfect,

01:15:52 --> 01:15:55

has no imperfections and I have imperfections. That's the meaning

01:15:55 --> 01:16:00

with me says hello. Hola. You have no imperfections, I haven't

01:16:00 --> 01:16:05

reverses. So it's a recognition of this fact. And 100 online.

01:16:06 --> 01:16:06

That

01:16:08 --> 01:16:13

is to say, Allah has every good attribute. And no one is complete,

01:16:13 --> 01:16:16

and their goodness, and their perfection. No one's perfect

01:16:16 --> 01:16:20

without us. Allah is perfect in his actions. And you can combine

01:16:20 --> 01:16:22

these by saying some common law you have.

01:16:24 --> 01:16:31

Right? And then Subhan Allah and all the which means of all sizes,

01:16:32 --> 01:16:35

and all powers. Allah is more powerful Israel

01:16:38 --> 01:16:43

present that they have begun was the fifth in the world and make us

01:16:43 --> 01:16:44

depart.

01:16:45 --> 01:16:49

From what will I make this tip Ah, if I might actually just lead to

01:16:49 --> 01:16:51

everyone in here does that

01:16:52 --> 01:16:56

make you still fall for an ember the thought coming into your head?

01:16:56 --> 01:16:57

That is because of you.

01:16:59 --> 01:17:02

Maybe it's too broad because now your state went from the state of

01:17:02 --> 01:17:07

neediness to the state of arrogance, the state of neediness

01:17:07 --> 01:17:11

to the state of thinking I have Power of Thinking I can do some

01:17:11 --> 01:17:17

No, you must consent that they have their finger was down. Maybe

01:17:17 --> 01:17:22

someone in no counter well, so when you complete the brain, this

01:17:22 --> 01:17:28

is victory that is possible for you to complete. Allah tells me

01:17:28 --> 01:17:29

that I can forgive.

01:17:31 --> 01:17:35

That's a psychology in a nutshell. You've completed the hype of

01:17:35 --> 01:17:39

action in doubt, at all, and instead of patting you on the back

01:17:39 --> 01:17:40

process to

01:17:42 --> 01:17:47

showing us the great danger of success.

01:17:48 --> 01:17:53

Failure is not an event dangerous and success. Even Michelle was

01:17:53 --> 01:17:58

asked, will the people who go out on doubt find success are betting

01:17:59 --> 01:18:01

he said they will not find success until the first one failed.

01:18:02 --> 01:18:08

Because failure is an easier test to pass than success. It is easier

01:18:08 --> 01:18:12

to be to pass the test of persecution than it is to pass a

01:18:12 --> 01:18:17

test of how so Allah azza wa jal what does he say about the man he

01:18:17 --> 01:18:22

is ready? What did I know? No matter, the massage, we made the

01:18:22 --> 01:18:26

demands after we saw them when we pursued them the applications now

01:18:26 --> 01:18:30

you're worthy to be an event. You are only worthy to be at the

01:18:30 --> 01:18:34

event. When you have patients upon persecution, okay? You're only

01:18:34 --> 01:18:38

worthy of power. You're only trustworthy. If you have power,

01:18:38 --> 01:18:42

you may be oppressive. The oma in Islam Islam today.

01:18:43 --> 01:18:44

Today

01:18:46 --> 01:18:50

is generally compressive. Generally, some places were

01:18:50 --> 01:18:54

oppressors and go to the Canadians. You see many of those

01:18:54 --> 01:18:58

workers are apprentices. But in general, mostly they're not in

01:18:58 --> 01:19:03

political power. This is an error. Because if they were not in

01:19:03 --> 01:19:07

political power, and we're still not handling it well, like most of

01:19:07 --> 01:19:12

the activities, they have these tremors in their system history.

01:19:13 --> 01:19:17

And every time a tremor comes, they actually go further away from

01:19:17 --> 01:19:21

the knee. Further with the knee, it shows they're not capable of

01:19:21 --> 01:19:25

handling compression. If you cannot no question you cannot

01:19:25 --> 01:19:30

handle power. This is the equation. If you want to know can

01:19:30 --> 01:19:36

you handle Are you trustworthy to add the summer, the patience and

01:19:36 --> 01:19:41

the restraints to handle power. Ask that you have very strict and

01:19:41 --> 01:19:42

oppression.

01:19:43 --> 01:19:47

Okay? Does he have the restraint to handle oppression? Because

01:19:47 --> 01:19:51

oppression? Is it easier to test spiritually than power? One is

01:19:51 --> 01:19:54

that the spectrum of harm the other end of the spectrum of

01:19:54 --> 01:19:55

enjoyment

01:19:57 --> 01:19:58

ours enjoyable

01:20:00 --> 01:20:03

you'd be very happy to tell people what to do. Right? But if you were

01:20:03 --> 01:20:07

never in a situation where your Will was suppressed, that someone

01:20:07 --> 01:20:11

was suppressing you that say some would do what you're doing.

01:20:11 --> 01:20:13

Sometimes you have that sometimes you have someone as soon as you

01:20:13 --> 01:20:17

get happy, all right, they oppressing they want to stop you

01:20:17 --> 01:20:21

from doing what you do. They never want to see you, if you want them

01:20:21 --> 01:20:25

to let you to do something, you have to pretend you hate it.

01:20:25 --> 01:20:29

Right? Some people are like that, right? But these people, if you

01:20:29 --> 01:20:33

have solid with them, then you wait it out with patients, and I'm

01:20:33 --> 01:20:37

going to enjoy it. But you wait it out with patients that someday you

01:20:37 --> 01:20:40

will be worthy of power yourself, you will be able to restrain

01:20:40 --> 01:20:45

yourself from the temptations of crushing other people with power,

01:20:45 --> 01:20:47

the temptation of

01:20:49 --> 01:20:54

the oppressed is to regain his rage. This temptation is to enter

01:20:54 --> 01:20:56

into a state of rage, okay.

01:20:57 --> 01:21:04

This is his temptation. If he can restrain himself from Rage, then

01:21:04 --> 01:21:09

you can bet his or he has a good chance to restrain himself from

01:21:09 --> 01:21:11

the temptation and power, which is crushing you.

01:21:13 --> 01:21:17

That temptation of power is to crush others, the one who falls

01:21:17 --> 01:21:20

for the temptation of rage and guarantee if you give him power,

01:21:20 --> 01:21:21

he's gonna crush,

01:21:22 --> 01:21:28

you will crush the little guy. Okay. So for this reason, the one

01:21:28 --> 01:21:34

who is doing good in religion, he needs more health, protection from

01:21:34 --> 01:21:38

Allah than the one who's suffering. Okay, the one who was

01:21:38 --> 01:21:40

drunk on this on the street, he knows he's

01:21:42 --> 01:21:47

he's far from falling into off the political, religious spiritual

01:21:47 --> 01:21:48

arrogance is far from

01:21:50 --> 01:21:53

but the one who has climbed the mountain successfully is Israel's

01:21:53 --> 01:21:55

fault. So he needs more.

01:21:58 --> 01:22:03

This is one of the reasons why a lot of his own domestic sites and

01:22:03 --> 01:22:08

allies origin soared into December 14, constantly pushing us to jump

01:22:08 --> 01:22:14

out the with the gym out. Here's one of the secret wisdoms behind

01:22:14 --> 01:22:17

the concept of being with the geometric. If,

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

if you're one of 10 people, and you're the best of 10, it is

01:22:22 --> 01:22:26

possible that you can be the best of 10 people, right?

01:22:28 --> 01:22:32

It's very possible that you're the best of all time you

01:22:33 --> 01:22:36

add 10 More people add 10 more people now you have 30 people.

01:22:38 --> 01:22:41

Actually, at this point, even if you're the best, it's gonna be a

01:22:41 --> 01:22:46

very slim margin. And someone can overtake add 70 more people,

01:22:46 --> 01:22:50

you're one of 100 At this point, there are six seven great people,

01:22:50 --> 01:22:56

right? So when dilutes your perception of yourself, it dilutes

01:22:56 --> 01:23:01

it, right? Your perception of yourself. This is why only a fish

01:23:01 --> 01:23:07

in a pond can walk around being bullied, right? But put him in a

01:23:07 --> 01:23:13

big lake. But I'm in a river, but I'm in an ocean. And now he's just

01:23:13 --> 01:23:18

one fish at a benefit. So the benefit of the dramatic

01:23:19 --> 01:23:23

is that allows me to always provide for people equal or better

01:23:23 --> 01:23:27

than you. And this will help you attain your ability. And if if you

01:23:27 --> 01:23:31

are removed from you, is the sweetness of being number one.

01:23:32 --> 01:23:36

Number two, no one has an immensely powerful sweetness to

01:23:36 --> 01:23:41

it. But it's a bad and horrible test and a drunk. You don't ever

01:23:41 --> 01:23:44

want to take that drug. It's like some drugs, you can get off and

01:23:44 --> 01:23:45

very quickly.

01:23:46 --> 01:23:50

Other drugs are so powerful. As soon as you take one, you're an

01:23:50 --> 01:23:57

addict. Right? As soon as you take one, you're so happy by taking

01:23:57 --> 01:24:01

that one, that when it wears off, regular life is held.

01:24:02 --> 01:24:03

So you have to take more

01:24:06 --> 01:24:10

well being number one, when you're filled with other people who are,

01:24:10 --> 01:24:15

number one, it causes you to think that what's my purpose? What's the

01:24:15 --> 01:24:19

purpose? Is the purpose of being number one? Or is the purpose

01:24:19 --> 01:24:25

though and once with Allah? That's the real purpose, though, and

01:24:25 --> 01:24:28

honest with Allah, and where were you ever going to learn this

01:24:28 --> 01:24:33

lesson? By being oppressed? If you're oppressed, and suppressed

01:24:33 --> 01:24:36

and lonely, you sit alone and you're like, No one's there to

01:24:36 --> 01:24:39

help you. There's nothing left. There's no good. What is your

01:24:39 --> 01:24:42

solace at that moment? Although

01:24:43 --> 01:24:47

my solace is alone. This is why I'm prioritizing, tapping down to

01:24:48 --> 01:24:50

the laser beam have a big

01:24:51 --> 01:24:55

fear in the data the dawn of the oppressed because there's no

01:24:55 --> 01:24:58

barrier between him and Allah. He's lost hoping people he's

01:24:58 --> 01:24:59

miserable in his life.

01:25:00 --> 01:25:03

Watch this only solace to be alone. Right?

01:25:05 --> 01:25:10

Now, this grows if it grows in him and grows in him. So now when he's

01:25:10 --> 01:25:15

actually successful in life, the various temptations of life, okay,

01:25:15 --> 01:25:20

he remembers, that's not the goal, the purpose is to be alone. And

01:25:20 --> 01:25:21

then at the very least,

01:25:22 --> 01:25:27

if you grow inside of yourself unstuck, on intimacy with a love,

01:25:27 --> 01:25:32

then someone gives you the benefits of the dunya. When you're

01:25:32 --> 01:25:35

engaging in benefits of the donut, you may lose some of your goods,

01:25:35 --> 01:25:38

you'll realize it's not as good as I imagined, I want to go back two

01:25:38 --> 01:25:43

months. Okay, you go back to me, you realize that this is not what

01:25:43 --> 01:25:48

is measured out to be actually, when I was all alone, oppressed in

01:25:48 --> 01:25:53

myself in my room, I was actually more happy, right? There's a real

01:25:53 --> 01:25:58

life, he thinks I needed all these outward things to be happy. No,

01:25:58 --> 01:26:03

you don't need that extra. So the aggressive one, Allah is giving

01:26:03 --> 01:26:07

him a crutch, and helping him attain once by removing

01:26:07 --> 01:26:10

distractions, removing all distractions put you alone in a

01:26:10 --> 01:26:13

room, you're not thinking of anyone else except the law. So

01:26:13 --> 01:26:16

it's almost like kindergarten, where he's helped you do

01:26:16 --> 01:26:20

everything you can to attain your goal, right? He's given you the

01:26:20 --> 01:26:23

quarter in your hand and held you by the hand and said, Give it to

01:26:23 --> 01:26:24

the homeless, right?

01:26:25 --> 01:26:29

He's called you by the hand and attains you to the level of

01:26:29 --> 01:26:30

modified ones. And

01:26:31 --> 01:26:33

now that you've developed it

01:26:35 --> 01:26:38

now, and you're the real test comes, what happens now, when

01:26:38 --> 01:26:41

you're out in the world, successful, happy, free, no

01:26:41 --> 01:26:46

oppressor anymore. No one just stopped you anymore. Right? Now,

01:26:47 --> 01:26:51

you're going to need to remember that sweetness. Back in the day,

01:26:51 --> 01:26:56

when was simple and small and oppressed. I need to remember

01:26:56 --> 01:27:00

them. Because it's very easy when there's no oppressor to go

01:27:00 --> 01:27:02

straight. And the only thing I will keep you from knowing the

01:27:02 --> 01:27:06

strength is remembering the sweetness when I was alone with

01:27:06 --> 01:27:10

Allah azza wa jal, it would be good. That is what is going to

01:27:10 --> 01:27:14

keep you. Right? When you have all of that, whatever you want in the

01:27:14 --> 01:27:14

world.

01:27:16 --> 01:27:19

And this is why Imam even Allah is going to say another excellent,

01:27:20 --> 01:27:24

which we're going to come to, he says that, see that sprouts

01:27:24 --> 01:27:28

without ever being buried, will never come to fruition, it will

01:27:28 --> 01:27:28

rock.

01:27:29 --> 01:27:34

Okay, when we produce fruits, the seed must be very deep in the

01:27:34 --> 01:27:41

ground in the darkness, and the cold of the soil in order for a

01:27:41 --> 01:27:46

good tree to sprout and give Bruce Okay, so what is he saying here?

01:27:46 --> 01:27:51

He's saying you need to go through that bad experience first, at some

01:27:51 --> 01:27:55

point in life, that doesn't have to be like in jail, just lonely.

01:27:55 --> 01:28:00

I'm a little guy, I'm not a big deal, right? I don't have much.

01:28:00 --> 01:28:05

I'm in debt, right? In those moments, Allah is protecting you,

01:28:05 --> 01:28:10

so that you can develop with him. Then later on, you grow and start

01:28:10 --> 01:28:13

having raises and better jobs now that your feet are out like, like

01:28:13 --> 01:28:15

a bird soaring through the wind, right?

01:28:17 --> 01:28:20

You can go straight. So what protects you to go straight to

01:28:20 --> 01:28:26

memory? Right, that's what keeps you Okay, then, when a trial comes

01:28:26 --> 01:28:32

in front of you, that trial helps you that trial puts you back in

01:28:32 --> 01:28:36

that state where if it's only been a month or so you're not you're

01:28:36 --> 01:28:41

you are not trial diverse. You're not trying to pursue University.

01:28:41 --> 01:28:46

So problems. You're not averse to conflict. You're not afraid.

01:28:46 --> 01:28:51

Because any hardship that comes to you to you is easy. On the back of

01:28:51 --> 01:28:56

the laptop, no problem. Like one of the great events said jail is

01:28:56 --> 01:29:00

not about you speaking the truth. He said what's going to happen

01:29:01 --> 01:29:05

is the man was actually lucky he had no weapon no kids. He said

01:29:07 --> 01:29:11

what can how can these people stop me from speaking the truth? If

01:29:11 --> 01:29:15

they put me in jail, I'm alone with Allah. Okay, if they kill me,

01:29:15 --> 01:29:18

I'm a murderer. And if they kick me out of the lens, I'm a

01:29:18 --> 01:29:21

traveler. Right? So how can you stop

01:29:22 --> 01:29:24

within the only thing he misses torture?

01:29:25 --> 01:29:28

A lot of people will stop from seeing the truth from Georgia. But

01:29:28 --> 01:29:32

the province I send them how does he is reminding us that even

01:29:32 --> 01:29:36

torture if you gotta say the truth, you guys injury. What did

01:29:36 --> 01:29:40

he say? He said the people from those before you. They used to

01:29:40 --> 01:29:47

take a comb, divot and hot oil until the comb comes out. Red.

01:29:48 --> 01:29:51

They come in a metal like a rake really mess you say like a rake.

01:29:52 --> 01:29:55

Imagine like a rake, one of those thick rakes not the skinny ones.

01:29:55 --> 01:29:59

Think rake. Okay, dip it in hot oil until it comes out.

01:30:00 --> 01:30:01

are glowing,

01:30:02 --> 01:30:06

that stabbing into the back of the man into his skin and hold down

01:30:06 --> 01:30:10

all the skin and exposing the skin and when he's exploiting us and

01:30:10 --> 01:30:13

disclose that they're doing is because oxygen when it comes in

01:30:13 --> 01:30:14

there, he's gonna die.

01:30:15 --> 01:30:20

Then the other Muslims are sitting there watching, okay, the other

01:30:20 --> 01:30:24

believers of that era are sitting there watching that they bring the

01:30:24 --> 01:30:28

second one and they say, are you going to review your religion and

01:30:28 --> 01:30:30

turn it back into religion or something when he's suffering?

01:30:30 --> 01:30:33

They said, I will not turn back my religion.

01:30:34 --> 01:30:35

Right? And they wouldn't take the comment.

01:30:37 --> 01:30:40

Ended up Prophet told us another Hadith because Allah on the

01:30:40 --> 01:30:45

prophesy seven one says, even to be hearted to Portugal, which is

01:30:45 --> 01:30:51

the art is that you dieties can expel the Jesus right, be put

01:30:51 --> 01:30:54

under house arrest or going to jail you can manage that tortures

01:30:54 --> 01:30:59

north, okay. Now he says another one what happens when the homeless

01:30:59 --> 01:31:02

before you? What would they do? They would bring four or five

01:31:02 --> 01:31:05

believers. Then they say what was your god there was no Allah. So

01:31:05 --> 01:31:09

they would take him to throw men into a vat of boiling bubbling

01:31:09 --> 01:31:15

oil, such that as soon as he lands in his father's out, and federal

01:31:15 --> 01:31:17

data becomes nothing immediately as soon as he falls.

01:31:19 --> 01:31:19

Now

01:31:20 --> 01:31:25

in return back in your religion, and he refuses to say no, to say

01:31:25 --> 01:31:28

yes, they throw him in the third and the fourth and fifth. Now.

01:31:28 --> 01:31:31

Let's take another example. The province I send them told us

01:31:31 --> 01:31:35

again, no, the problem is telling us this on purpose. We can be hard

01:31:35 --> 01:31:40

in the event of physical torture. Okay, what did you say now? Now?

01:31:40 --> 01:31:42

Okay, that's men. What about women?

01:31:44 --> 01:31:45

What about women? Women?

01:31:47 --> 01:31:53

What about a woman with a baby? Her two hardens? If the truth is

01:31:53 --> 01:31:57

at stake, to be hard to that, okay? Like what?

01:31:58 --> 01:32:02

The boy, the King, the magician and the monk who knows the story.

01:32:03 --> 01:32:06

The boy, the magician at the moment, give you the short

01:32:06 --> 01:32:10

philosophy of it. A king, the magician of the cave was getting

01:32:10 --> 01:32:15

more. So he hired him and he got into doing to get an apprentice.

01:32:15 --> 01:32:20

The boy was going to the magician to learn on the way he would see a

01:32:20 --> 01:32:20

monk.

01:32:21 --> 01:32:25

And he would like to hear watch and worship and life is sense of

01:32:25 --> 01:32:29

calmness with a monk. So he started attending with welcome

01:32:29 --> 01:32:31

until the boy reached a level

01:32:33 --> 01:32:37

of spiritual spirituality. But he also learned Mandarin.

01:32:38 --> 01:32:44

One day, he saw a lion in the street, and the people were all

01:32:44 --> 01:32:48

backed off and afraid. Okay, so he said now or there was a beast, he

01:32:48 --> 01:32:54

said now contest both the ways of magic and the ways of ALLAH. So he

01:32:54 --> 01:33:00

took a rock, and he said, Oh Allah, if you're a true, then I

01:33:00 --> 01:33:03

will. I will say this when I let the rock kill me. So he said

01:33:03 --> 01:33:06

Bismillah that he threw the rock and it killed the beast. So he

01:33:06 --> 01:33:10

knew the man path of religion was right, the path of the Golf was

01:33:10 --> 01:33:16

wrong. Okay. So then he called me one time and he told the monkey,

01:33:17 --> 01:33:19

and the monkey said, Now you haven't reached a level that I

01:33:19 --> 01:33:21

haven't reached any. I'm a worshipper, but I don't. I don't

01:33:21 --> 01:33:24

do things like that. I don't have Carabas coming off and be like the

01:33:24 --> 01:33:28

way you did. So now you're at a higher level. The boy kept in

01:33:28 --> 01:33:31

advancing and advancing to the point that you would do the blind

01:33:31 --> 01:33:37

and cure the leper. Okay, and cure the depth and cure all people.

01:33:38 --> 01:33:43

Okay. Finally, this reached elites, and one of the elites was

01:33:43 --> 01:33:47

blind from the Council of the game. So he went to the boy with a

01:33:47 --> 01:33:51

large sack of wealth, sacks of wealth. We put it in front of him

01:33:51 --> 01:33:55

security, the boys and take your wealth for I don't care it is a

01:33:55 --> 01:33:59

love of yours. Okay. It says if you believe in Allah, and make

01:33:59 --> 01:34:03

dua, as I make dua, you'll be cured. He did.

01:34:06 --> 01:34:08

He believed that Allah, okay.

01:34:09 --> 01:34:11

And he was cured. Okay.

01:34:13 --> 01:34:17

He went back and the word started to spread that even the elite are

01:34:17 --> 01:34:20

believing in Allah and no longer believing in their, whatever

01:34:20 --> 01:34:25

religion was, okay? So they bought the king, they bought the boy, and

01:34:25 --> 01:34:30

they punished him enough that he told them the monk, the monk came,

01:34:30 --> 01:34:33

and they killed him that they went to

01:34:35 --> 01:34:36

boy, they finally

01:34:37 --> 01:34:40

they said to the boy, now we're going to make an example. We

01:34:40 --> 01:34:44

cannot kill them or also be a martyr. But what we can do is

01:34:45 --> 01:34:48

scaring them. So they took him to the top of the mountain to scare

01:34:48 --> 01:34:53

him. Right, throw him off a little and hold him back. Right when he

01:34:53 --> 01:34:57

refuses to change, okay, and in fact, a lot was reflective all his

01:34:57 --> 01:34:59

captors fell and he came back

01:35:00 --> 01:35:03

Then the king said, Alright, take him to the ocean, scary by the

01:35:03 --> 01:35:07

ocean, they took him to the ocean to mount a big ship and to throw

01:35:07 --> 01:35:12

him off the ship. Okay, he refused to hop on the waves to move. And

01:35:12 --> 01:35:16

the character the characters felt that he stayed. He went back to

01:35:16 --> 01:35:20

the cave, he wouldn't sleep. Right fleeing would destroy the whole

01:35:20 --> 01:35:25

purpose of vaccinating. He said, There's only one way to kill. He

01:35:25 --> 01:35:30

said how? He said, tie me up to a pole, take the arrow and out loud

01:35:30 --> 01:35:33

in front of everyone say in the name of the God of the boy.

01:35:34 --> 01:35:39

And if you do that, you'll kill someone. He's a good dude. He did

01:35:39 --> 01:35:42

it in front of everyone in the name of the God of the boy flew

01:35:42 --> 01:35:46

the arrow, and it killed him. Okay. And then he was happening

01:35:46 --> 01:35:49

for an instant until the people turned around and said, realized

01:35:49 --> 01:35:53

what you just took the boys and God is right. Okay. Just prove

01:35:53 --> 01:35:57

that the boys God is the trigger. Okay, now the cavemen in another

01:35:57 --> 01:36:02

rage. So he then so in the front of all the main highways that

01:36:02 --> 01:36:07

people have to use in front of neverI is small roads that they

01:36:07 --> 01:36:10

haven't use, right? Okay, that's what they had back then two in

01:36:10 --> 01:36:15

front of every main road, it doesn't finish dish and filled

01:36:15 --> 01:36:19

with fire. And the guard will stand as people are walking to get

01:36:19 --> 01:36:23

their needs his truck stop everyone. Whoever rejects them.

01:36:24 --> 01:36:29

Believe in Allah gets to know, whoever refuses, gets thrown into

01:36:29 --> 01:36:31

the fire. Then what happened next?

01:36:32 --> 01:36:38

There came a woman and her baby, a brand new baby. Okay, this is one

01:36:38 --> 01:36:41

of the four babies and for three babies who spoke before babies. We

01:36:41 --> 01:36:42

spoke.

01:36:45 --> 01:36:49

She hesitated she thought to herself. If I lie,

01:36:50 --> 01:36:57

then I can escape and raise maybe Pantone. Right? If I lie, I can

01:36:57 --> 01:36:58

raise the baby.

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

And

01:37:02 --> 01:37:05

the baby spoke she said the secret truth. And don't worry about the

01:37:05 --> 01:37:10

fight. So what is the most we save people from death? They killed the

01:37:10 --> 01:37:13

victim being tortured violence. What if you're a woman?

01:37:14 --> 01:37:15

What if you're

01:37:16 --> 01:37:22

a young woman with the baby? Even if the truth comes to that, okay.

01:37:23 --> 01:37:26

The Prophet peace be upon it that is preferable than the light.

01:37:27 --> 01:37:32

Okay, so we are Allah azza wa jal read closing. And you will see

01:37:32 --> 01:37:37

that the Prophet wants us to be strong and hard when it comes to

01:37:37 --> 01:37:42

false and not fearing of popularity, not fearing of blame.

01:37:43 --> 01:37:47

And she jumps into the fight with her. Okay, jump to the front.

01:37:48 --> 01:37:53

And we have all of us Hello, dude. As soon as they lose many people

01:37:53 --> 01:37:57

from the Jews and Christian for us, they were given ultimatum,

01:37:57 --> 01:37:58

leave your religion and beyond

01:38:05 --> 01:38:06

which one is?

01:38:08 --> 01:38:08

Kissing?

01:38:15 --> 01:38:15

So you see

01:38:18 --> 01:38:24

this issue of synonyms? Okay, I see my strength being Harding is

01:38:24 --> 01:38:30

very important. And here's another thing reputation, many people will

01:38:30 --> 01:38:34

turn away from the truth. Why? Out of fear of being called such

01:38:34 --> 01:38:35

services such as

01:38:36 --> 01:38:40

you do a big disservice to the truth. If you don't want your

01:38:40 --> 01:38:46

reputation to be martyred, and how will your body be murdered?

01:38:47 --> 01:38:51

Your reputation is something you don't see it doesn't exist, except

01:38:51 --> 01:38:55

in the perception of the awful human beings whose mind always

01:38:55 --> 01:38:59

changed. It means mine always changed. Okay, you're a villain

01:38:59 --> 01:39:03

today, you're a hero tomorrow, and vice versa. So this is the least

01:39:03 --> 01:39:06

thing that you should enjoy. You should never employ repetition,

01:39:07 --> 01:39:11

right? It's kind of this is what it's a hobby used to say, If

01:39:11 --> 01:39:14

anyone comes to you and starts increasing the reputation rows in

01:39:14 --> 01:39:20

the database. Stop. Don't let him tempt you with this drug of

01:39:20 --> 01:39:25

reputation. So successful reputation. All of these are drugs

01:39:25 --> 01:39:28

that need to be slaughtered. Avoid these drugs, because they're going

01:39:28 --> 01:39:33

to affect it. So the one who succeeds isn't Trump more than the

01:39:33 --> 01:39:37

one who says he needs help? He needs more help. Tell me

01:39:38 --> 01:39:42

who needs help the guy who slipped off the first floor where a guy

01:39:42 --> 01:39:43

who's hanging from the 100 foot

01:39:45 --> 01:39:48

instead of the first floor who makes him sprained your ankle

01:39:48 --> 01:39:53

maximum, right. You're in a bad situation. But the guy who is

01:39:53 --> 01:39:57

standing he hasn't fallen yet, but he's standing on the ledge of the

01:39:57 --> 01:39:59

hunting for now all rather regular

01:40:00 --> 01:40:04

All right, it's a guaranteed loss with no increase, then be standing

01:40:04 --> 01:40:09

on the ledge of 100 floors with the possibility of all right. So

01:40:09 --> 01:40:13

this is why indeed the prototype Samsung goes slow, go slowly, slow

01:40:13 --> 01:40:17

and steady, right slow and steady, you rise too fast you can falter.

01:40:19 --> 01:40:23

And this is why it's success, forgetting the success, worldly

01:40:23 --> 01:40:28

success. Alive. So whichever put obstacles in front of you. Let

01:40:28 --> 01:40:33

those obstacles slow you down. If it's alive, committed, I want to

01:40:33 --> 01:40:34

be successful. All of a sudden,

01:40:35 --> 01:40:39

my mother in law has cancer. What am I going to do? Am I still going

01:40:39 --> 01:40:42

to travel every weekend? To earn more money?

01:40:44 --> 01:40:45

Or am I going to have to now cut it down?

01:40:46 --> 01:40:50

I have to cut it down. Right? But this cutting it down. As one of

01:40:50 --> 01:40:53

the poet's said maybe this is

01:40:55 --> 01:41:00

maybe this is what you need to secure yourself your mentality

01:41:00 --> 01:41:05

from going overboard. Slowly, sometimes going slower is far

01:41:05 --> 01:41:09

better than going fast. Right? So all of this is based upon his

01:41:09 --> 01:41:12

hegman or his statement that sometimes, okay?

01:41:14 --> 01:41:18

The success and religion is actually more

01:41:19 --> 01:41:20

dangerous than

01:41:29 --> 01:41:34

sometimes ostentatious penetrating in such a way that no one notices

01:41:35 --> 01:41:42

the thereto too so it's all about guarding yourself from

01:41:42 --> 01:41:45

ostentation, guarding yourself from

01:41:47 --> 01:41:51

things over so the kids might be coming in and out. Babysitting is

01:41:51 --> 01:41:51

over

01:41:53 --> 01:41:55

the biggest center there is we have to leave.

01:41:57 --> 01:42:00

Not sure what time she's supposed to stay in. I think she had to

01:42:00 --> 01:42:00

leave today early.

01:42:02 --> 01:42:03

Just want to warn you they're going to be kids

01:42:10 --> 01:42:15

ostentation is to render in fact, a word of worship, or some other

01:42:15 --> 01:42:20

virtuous deed with the motive of creating an impression inside of

01:42:20 --> 01:42:20

others.

01:42:22 --> 01:42:27

An impression of what an impression to presume, okay, an

01:42:27 --> 01:42:32

impression to elevate you. Not every impression is bad, right?

01:42:32 --> 01:42:36

Every impression is bad. Like what? Sometimes you will do a good

01:42:36 --> 01:42:40

deed. Now we will tell you what is not showing up. Sometimes you will

01:42:40 --> 01:42:44

do a good deed. Because everyone's doing it. It's embarrassing not to

01:42:44 --> 01:42:48

do it. Like when you're at a house and they're 17. Everyone brings

01:42:48 --> 01:42:52

them up. You customarily don't read the show notes. But

01:42:52 --> 01:42:55

everyone's wearing the same number. So you got to know when

01:42:56 --> 01:43:00

are you showing off? We say no. At this point. This is a good

01:43:00 --> 01:43:04

version. This is someone who's embarrassed. If you say you don't

01:43:04 --> 01:43:09

have that brain. You're shameless, right? You're shameless. So they

01:43:09 --> 01:43:14

shamed you into doing a good deal. It's acceptable, to be shamed into

01:43:14 --> 01:43:18

doing a good deed is accepted, likewise, to be shamed into not

01:43:18 --> 01:43:23

doing a bad day is acceptable. Okay, this is the benefit of

01:43:23 --> 01:43:28

family and society. Today, people have psychosis, because they're

01:43:28 --> 01:43:31

allowed to be alone too much. So they do things they would have

01:43:31 --> 01:43:35

never done before. That they feel like they have a double life. Back

01:43:35 --> 01:43:39

in the day, if you think about it, to be alone was actually very

01:43:39 --> 01:43:43

hard. Right? Back in the day in order to slaughter and how do we

01:43:43 --> 01:43:46

have five people in order to skinny you needed help in order to

01:43:46 --> 01:43:49

light a fire, you needed help everything even help? Everyone was

01:43:49 --> 01:43:53

helping everyone. Right? In order to disappear, you had to take

01:43:53 --> 01:43:58

effort. So you didn't have a lot of problems in that respect. But

01:43:58 --> 01:44:01

in the respect of time today, it's very easy to be alone.

01:44:02 --> 01:44:05

And when you're alone, it's easy to do things that you wouldn't

01:44:05 --> 01:44:10

regularly do in front of people. Even regular behaviors, like some

01:44:10 --> 01:44:13

people behave in ways they do things with their body, they would

01:44:13 --> 01:44:16

never do in front of you. They are shameless.

01:44:17 --> 01:44:22

Increases psychosis. But we say the benefit of company if you are

01:44:22 --> 01:44:27

shamed, that means if Allah's view didn't shame you at least let the

01:44:27 --> 01:44:32

peoples view shame you. Right. Love this document a lot stay in

01:44:34 --> 01:44:37

the United States a lot between different people, at least right?

01:44:38 --> 01:44:41

The worst? How do you know the society is destroyed? No one's

01:44:41 --> 01:44:42

ashamed in front of people.

01:44:43 --> 01:44:45

They're not even ashamed in front of him. Right?

01:44:47 --> 01:44:49

And shock jocks and a lot of these

01:44:50 --> 01:44:54

sharp types of, I guess comedians or I don't know what they are

01:44:54 --> 01:44:59

social reformers. They like to find out what is taboo and then

01:45:00 --> 01:45:04

Want to go into and shock the society and write op eds in the

01:45:04 --> 01:45:07

Huffington Post? Why we should accept this? Right? And we're all

01:45:07 --> 01:45:11

doing it anyway and desire hypocrisy? No, we say, if it's a

01:45:11 --> 01:45:15

bad thing, if you're ashamed to do it, because the people that's a

01:45:15 --> 01:45:20

virtue, right? It's not. It's not bad democracy, people hypocrisy,

01:45:20 --> 01:45:24

again, is to worship Allah so that people can look at you. That's

01:45:24 --> 01:45:26

hypocrisy that's showing

01:45:28 --> 01:45:34

real authentication is also known as the smaller ship. And it's also

01:45:34 --> 01:45:37

a stripe of hypocrisy. So

01:45:38 --> 01:45:42

he now says it's to do an act of worship, in order that they

01:45:42 --> 01:45:49

consider him pious and sanely. Now, here's one of the greatest

01:45:50 --> 01:45:52

hills of medicine you'll ever get.

01:45:53 --> 01:45:57

Someone says, How do I protect myself?

01:45:59 --> 01:46:04

From being from fearing this reputation? Like I'm doing a lot

01:46:04 --> 01:46:08

of things, how do I make myself that people don't view me like

01:46:08 --> 01:46:10

that? Or I don't think about them. The answer is very simple.

01:46:11 --> 01:46:14

Continue being yourself. Just be yourself.

01:46:15 --> 01:46:16

Be yourself.

01:46:17 --> 01:46:20

Everyone has enough awkwardness in them, that people will think that

01:46:20 --> 01:46:24

you're bias or sanely or anything, okay? In fact, you probably are

01:46:24 --> 01:46:29

the other, they'll think you're on the other side of things. Be

01:46:29 --> 01:46:35

yourself. This is one of the data that people have emigrated, raised

01:46:35 --> 01:46:39

in England, they said, they said one of the worst things to see is

01:46:39 --> 01:46:42

a regular kid, Goofy, kid, happy go lucky.

01:46:43 --> 01:46:48

He starts coming into the need, all of a sudden, he's not happy go

01:46:48 --> 01:46:51

lucky. And he's not making jokes anymore. He's not being himself

01:46:51 --> 01:46:55

anymore. What's he mean? Right. Ria has entered into him. So it's

01:46:55 --> 01:46:59

creating an image for himself, that I'm so serious. All I do is

01:46:59 --> 01:47:05

talk about the D. I don't know anything about any alien culture.

01:47:06 --> 01:47:11

i And he even if he laughs at a joke, he stops himself, because he

01:47:11 --> 01:47:15

catches himself, right? No, this is you have to be destroyed. This

01:47:15 --> 01:47:19

has to be destroyed. Right? So the solution is just yourself.

01:47:19 --> 01:47:21

Continue being yourself, okay?

01:47:23 --> 01:47:27

You continue being seen where you always are. Like, if you're

01:47:27 --> 01:47:30

getting, what are you gonna do, you're not gonna stop shopping,

01:47:30 --> 01:47:32

you're not gonna stop stopping for gas, you're not gonna stop

01:47:32 --> 01:47:37

driving, be yourself. Don't try to be as a person that is not seen do

01:47:37 --> 01:47:40

all these things. This is a sign of

01:47:41 --> 01:47:44

right? That you don't want to be seen doing mundane things like

01:47:44 --> 01:47:48

everyone else. You don't want to be seen enjoying chicken wings

01:47:48 --> 01:47:49

with the brothers, right?

01:47:51 --> 01:47:53

You don't want to be seen unwinding.

01:47:55 --> 01:47:58

This is all from reality. And the people will not benefit.

01:47:59 --> 01:48:03

And it's showing off. Right? Who are you not to be seen doing these

01:48:03 --> 01:48:05

things. All of this is

01:48:07 --> 01:48:12

so much so that the students have knowledge in the past when that

01:48:12 --> 01:48:18

thing when the era was good. When the times were good. Some of the

01:48:18 --> 01:48:26

mache used to disallow their close disciples from wearing the clothes

01:48:26 --> 01:48:30

of students are having long beards. Right? They said this

01:48:30 --> 01:48:33

allowed? How when it's a sudden, yes, but if it's causing them and

01:48:33 --> 01:48:38

if it's actually causing him to view himself better than he

01:48:38 --> 01:48:43

actually is that it's a problem. But it's a problem. Okay.

01:48:46 --> 01:48:49

Others used to force their students to do mundane things,

01:48:50 --> 01:48:54

like invoking shopping from the market. Right? So he's a student

01:48:54 --> 01:48:58

of knowledge is sitting with a shave all day. Now the shade asks

01:48:58 --> 01:49:00

him to go get cucumbers from the market.

01:49:01 --> 01:49:04

So he's gonna have to go and haggle and look for the cucumbers

01:49:04 --> 01:49:05

and walk around with a basket.

01:49:06 --> 01:49:11

So the chef is putting his ego in this place of forget who you are.

01:49:12 --> 01:49:15

And some people have an easier time and that's another and the

01:49:15 --> 01:49:19

thing is, if someone can call you out on these things at the age of

01:49:19 --> 01:49:22

eight, you're not going to it's not going to be a problem at the

01:49:22 --> 01:49:27

age of 18 months was the age of 50. Some people they know what the

01:49:27 --> 01:49:32

their modem is, whoever they were, was upbringing raising them to

01:49:32 --> 01:49:38

didn't really call it out. This showing off at a young age. So

01:49:38 --> 01:49:42

when he revealed older it became a bigger and bigger snake until it

01:49:42 --> 01:49:48

can be killed anymore. And the person dies upon a dead when I log

01:49:48 --> 01:49:53

with the machine is called and there are a lot of artists

01:49:53 --> 01:49:58

sickness that even the machine cannot cure it. Okay, which is

01:49:58 --> 01:50:00

changing your view of yourself.

01:50:00 --> 01:50:04

If your view of your own self, okay? And this is why

01:50:05 --> 01:50:10

you'll see that the mannequins, the wandering cultural, who wants

01:50:10 --> 01:50:14

to get wandering mendicant? What is that this culture developed in

01:50:14 --> 01:50:16

the southern countries

01:50:17 --> 01:50:24

as a way to combat real? So what would they do? Okay? You're a

01:50:24 --> 01:50:27

student. And now you're doing good. People are looking at you.

01:50:27 --> 01:50:32

And now people are citing you as an example. So how does the ship

01:50:32 --> 01:50:36

cure you of your sickness, or just prevent you from falling into

01:50:36 --> 01:50:41

injury, he gives them a frog, just the frog, a global and a bowl.

01:50:43 --> 01:50:44

And he sends them out,

01:50:46 --> 01:50:49

sends him out to be homeless

01:50:50 --> 01:50:54

for a week or two or 40 days, right? So he may go to the

01:50:54 --> 01:50:57

neighboring city, and he starts to learn what is life life when no

01:50:57 --> 01:51:03

one looks at me? Right? What is life like when people throw me a

01:51:03 --> 01:51:04

coin or an apple?

01:51:05 --> 01:51:08

So he has balanced though, right? So just remove is

01:51:10 --> 01:51:15

one of those worst problems we have is the culture of

01:51:15 --> 01:51:21

entitlement, entitlement, that it's, we don't want to ask our

01:51:21 --> 01:51:26

kids to do menial tasks, so that it doesn't hurt the self esteem.

01:51:28 --> 01:51:31

Well, well, we don't have to disrespect them. We don't have to

01:51:31 --> 01:51:36

look down on them, and feel them that they're disrespected. But it

01:51:36 --> 01:51:40

should never be ashamed to do menial Texas prophets, the

01:51:40 --> 01:51:45

prophets, I saw them himself, kind of up. He was in the lowest chore

01:51:45 --> 01:51:50

of his family. What is the son of a man in his house, to be doing

01:51:50 --> 01:51:57

the lowest chores, cleaning the pots, the pots and making shoes

01:51:57 --> 01:52:03

and doing all these things. There was a chef, who he was a big chef

01:52:03 --> 01:52:05

in one second, but he

01:52:06 --> 01:52:10

and his wife never left the house that was back in the day was often

01:52:10 --> 01:52:13

done. While he does go to the market. He doesn't go out to her

01:52:13 --> 01:52:16

friends. She doesn't go to the message. She stays in her house.

01:52:16 --> 01:52:19

And back in the day the homes are connected so with her and her

01:52:19 --> 01:52:24

other female relatives. The shame though, in following the southern

01:52:24 --> 01:52:29

would take off his turban, take off his cloak and put on regular

01:52:29 --> 01:52:31

clothes and surf.

01:52:32 --> 01:52:35

brooming cooking, cleaning,

01:52:36 --> 01:52:41

doing helping and doing all these things. So much so that the wife

01:52:41 --> 01:52:44

actually never realized her husband has eviction, right? She

01:52:44 --> 01:52:47

doesn't talk. There's no YouTube, there's no papers, there's no

01:52:47 --> 01:52:50

Facebook. So it's very possible. She doesn't even know he's

01:52:50 --> 01:52:55

eviction. Like she goes, he goes out and he does something. Okay.

01:52:55 --> 01:52:56

So

01:52:57 --> 01:53:01

she yells at him. When he's gone the Sunday, the Sunday he doesn't

01:53:01 --> 01:53:06

recognize his wife. He doesn't ask you to do anything, because she

01:53:06 --> 01:53:07

doesn't require

01:53:08 --> 01:53:13

he works hard to clean the house. So she's growing now to

01:53:13 --> 01:53:18

disrespect. Okay. And she said it came as a habit, that she's

01:53:18 --> 01:53:23

yelling at him. Even. He's yelling. She has no respect for

01:53:23 --> 01:53:28

the men. Okay. And he came to realize this whole thing, maybe

01:53:28 --> 01:53:29

I've done it wrong.

01:53:30 --> 01:53:33

Maybe I'm too humble in the house or something. Right? And he never

01:53:33 --> 01:53:36

raised his voice. He doesn't like the properties we have on him. But

01:53:36 --> 01:53:40

his wife is that like I said, right. So you know what a problem.

01:53:40 --> 01:53:44

So one day he said, you know, this guy tomorrow? So he said, he said,

01:53:46 --> 01:53:46

she said,

01:53:48 --> 01:53:52

she said, he said, Do you know that? I'm a big chef?

01:53:54 --> 01:53:56

And she said, Okay, tell me something. Right?

01:53:58 --> 01:54:03

She gave her a dose and hopefully, okay, she's a movie, you can be

01:54:03 --> 01:54:04

making all this up.

01:54:09 --> 01:54:10

So he said,

01:54:11 --> 01:54:17

I'm also a big money, okay. And she said it he said, Okay, so. So

01:54:17 --> 01:54:20

he started shut his eyes and started making some thicker and he

01:54:20 --> 01:54:22

started low floating in there.

01:54:23 --> 01:54:27

Then he opened his eyes. And he said, What do you think of this?

01:54:28 --> 01:54:29

She said, You're crooked.

01:54:32 --> 01:54:34

Not even loading

01:54:36 --> 01:54:38

except the losses in life.

01:54:41 --> 01:54:41

So

01:54:43 --> 01:54:47

you do such acts, balancing the image of right

01:54:48 --> 01:54:49

image

01:54:51 --> 01:54:56

now let's see what else the ship says. Sometimes a person renders

01:54:56 --> 01:54:59

an act of worship in private. Is it how sneaky the notices

01:55:00 --> 01:55:05

Yeah, notwithstanding this right privacy, ostentation still enters

01:55:05 --> 01:55:09

his heart, who is he showing golfer? He's confirming his piety

01:55:09 --> 01:55:10

to himself.

01:55:11 --> 01:55:15

Another form of showing, right? So you reach the point that I don't

01:55:15 --> 01:55:18

care what people think I only care what I think of myself, right?

01:55:19 --> 01:55:20

This is also from five

01:55:21 --> 01:55:27

is better off than your own image of yourself is modest, right? Now,

01:55:27 --> 01:55:34

notice excessive blame of self, is yet another version of narcissism.

01:55:35 --> 01:55:38

As a man came to see the hands, see,

01:55:40 --> 01:55:41

see the chauffeur?

01:55:43 --> 01:55:43

If

01:55:45 --> 01:55:49

he was to see it, as we read it, we sign up, right? She came to

01:55:49 --> 01:55:51

check my hubby.

01:55:52 --> 01:55:55

And this man, he was very proud of himself, he was like a minister.

01:55:56 --> 01:55:59

And to have an essay about himself, he said, I do such and

01:55:59 --> 01:56:03

such I do such and such and such and such and such. So simple have

01:56:03 --> 01:56:08

them and have been began to notice this in him. And he started to

01:56:08 --> 01:56:13

give lectures about putting yourself that dark, don't think so

01:56:13 --> 01:56:18

highly of yourself, you know, put yourself down, right? So now the

01:56:18 --> 01:56:22

man took that to heart. So what did he do now? He would come to

01:56:22 --> 01:56:25

Sheikh Mohammed Amin. And he said, You know, I don't do this. I don't

01:56:25 --> 01:56:30

do this up this up that negative note, right. So he realized he

01:56:30 --> 01:56:34

just went from one extreme to another extreme, but it's a step

01:56:34 --> 01:56:35

to the gradation.

01:56:36 --> 01:56:41

The narcissist does not go from loving himself to being normal.

01:56:42 --> 01:56:46

The narcissist goes from loving attention to himself, to loving

01:56:46 --> 01:56:51

notoriety for himself, to then being normal, right? So he went

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

from praise himself to blame himself. Now he can go to

01:56:57 --> 01:57:01

thinking of someone else ignoring self, right? So Sheikh Mohammed

01:57:01 --> 01:57:04

and he said, Don't say you're going to see your bad just say

01:57:04 --> 01:57:09

Allah. Okay, other words, you're still not there yet. You're

01:57:09 --> 01:57:14

better, you're better, but you're not there. You need now, to not be

01:57:14 --> 01:57:18

a narcissist, you need now to think of other than yourself a

01:57:18 --> 01:57:19

narcissist.

01:57:20 --> 01:57:25

Anecdotally, his situation is such that in any situation, he only

01:57:25 --> 01:57:29

thinks of his perspective, and his feelings in that situation. Yeah.

01:57:30 --> 01:57:32

That's generally what we call a narcissist. So

01:57:34 --> 01:57:39

every year, people who have narcissism in them, they tend to

01:57:39 --> 01:57:44

fall for React a lot more. Right? We have to learn and teach others

01:57:44 --> 01:57:49

to think of others and the whole culture of pity, right, the whole

01:57:49 --> 01:57:53

culture of pity and self help and others that have this and that it

01:57:53 --> 01:57:58

can be easily fixed by putting people in the service industry.

01:57:58 --> 01:58:05

Okay. But if people in the service industry amongst the the jobs that

01:58:05 --> 01:58:10

render people the most polite and the most patient, does anyone have

01:58:10 --> 01:58:15

a guess? What job actually improves your character? In many

01:58:15 --> 01:58:20

ways, the most janitor? Sanitary service facility facilities?

01:58:23 --> 01:58:23

No,

01:58:25 --> 01:58:25

McDonald's?

01:58:28 --> 01:58:31

Well, I mean, I guess this is all opinion, right? But according to

01:58:31 --> 01:58:35

this report, we're studying everything's a study these days

01:58:35 --> 01:58:37

and who's doing the study? You wouldn't be just like medium,

01:58:37 --> 01:58:41

right? So I show this. It's just a real estate agent,

01:58:42 --> 01:58:46

real estate agent, because he must be very patient. He is getting

01:58:46 --> 01:58:51

rejected many times. His hope and his patients have to rise. He has

01:58:51 --> 01:58:55

to have a lot of patience. He has to have a lot of both. But

01:58:55 --> 01:59:00

ultimately what else? He must be clean. Because he's a cop. He's as

01:59:00 --> 01:59:03

quiet as right he has got to be very clean. And not only that, he

01:59:03 --> 01:59:09

must be very nice. He must be very nice, but a real estate agent. So

01:59:09 --> 01:59:13

they say the real estate agent is one of the artists worst jobs, but

01:59:13 --> 01:59:17

ends up producing the best people. Guess what? It ends up being the

01:59:17 --> 01:59:18

worst?

01:59:19 --> 01:59:23

The worst? What is the has the worst impact on your job? What

01:59:23 --> 01:59:27

job? The corporate law Z Oh, no, no.

01:59:29 --> 01:59:36

No banking. You want believers, scholars, professors and scholars.

01:59:36 --> 01:59:39

Because every day of their life, they're telling other people to

01:59:39 --> 01:59:44

tell their acts. Right. Okay. They've tearing down their

01:59:44 --> 01:59:48

opponents with laughter It's gets to their head. It gets to their

01:59:48 --> 01:59:52

head. Right? So the scholar at the end of his life they were talking

01:59:52 --> 01:59:56

about the professor's have PhDs, right. Professors and specifically

01:59:56 --> 01:59:59

philosophers that the most miserable worst

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

Character people that end up doing his profession for like 40 years

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

is the philosophy. Right? And then there's an overlap to that, like

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

the physicists and biologists, right. And then the best is the

02:00:11 --> 02:00:15

real estate agent who he needs to win you over, he needs to convince

02:00:15 --> 02:00:18

him he needs to coax you, he needs to be patient, he needs to be

02:00:18 --> 02:00:24

over. Right? All this has an excellent result. After doing this

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

for 40 years, all right. So you think the businessmen are bad or

02:00:28 --> 02:00:31

horrible? No, they need to because the it has to be a deal, right? So

02:00:31 --> 02:00:34

he needs to coax you into it. The scholars the words that hopefully

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

in Islamic scholarship, right? What is the difference between

02:00:38 --> 02:00:40

Remember earlier, we talked about the difference between academics

02:00:40 --> 02:00:42

and traditional scholarship, very different.

02:00:44 --> 02:00:47

Sport, right. In other subjects, it doesn't matter. But in Islam,

02:00:48 --> 02:00:53

Islamic scholarship, and academic scholarship is very different. In

02:00:53 --> 02:00:59

what way number one, academic scholarship is between academics.

02:00:59 --> 02:01:04

But assignment scholarship is public service, public service,

02:01:04 --> 02:01:08

you must you are obligated to go out and teach people. So you got

02:01:08 --> 02:01:11

to make Olympians you got to mix. Right? You got to mingle with

02:01:11 --> 02:01:16

people, right? And likewise, you have to act upon it. You gotta,

02:01:17 --> 02:01:20

you gotta get married and have kids, you get married and have

02:01:20 --> 02:01:23

kids, you can't go and be a scholar, and then come back and be

02:01:23 --> 02:01:27

a jerk. Right? She'll be the first one to call you out. And

02:01:27 --> 02:01:32

embarrassing, and then tell him, right. So now you're in trouble,

02:01:32 --> 02:01:36

you got to be good, you got to get this, right. Because the whole

02:01:36 --> 02:01:38

your whole operation could be undermined. Even if you do it,

02:01:38 --> 02:01:42

you're faking it. It's not fair. I love it so much. But eventually,

02:01:42 --> 02:01:44

it will have a good effect, it'll become a habit, you forgot the

02:01:44 --> 02:01:47

original reason you were being like, it just became a habit.

02:01:49 --> 02:01:53

Now, he says, such people can still try to show off in front of

02:01:53 --> 02:01:58

themselves. The sign of this type of prostitution is a man's desire

02:01:58 --> 02:02:00

to be honored when he beats others.

02:02:01 --> 02:02:06

So when someone walks into the room, and expects that everyone be

02:02:06 --> 02:02:09

silent when he enters, then expects that everyone's heard and

02:02:09 --> 02:02:13

really when he enters, that expects that people move in the

02:02:13 --> 02:02:16

messiness to make him space. All of this is sign over here.

02:02:19 --> 02:02:22

Likewise, the opposite, the opposite.

02:02:23 --> 02:02:29

The fear, okay, of going into a room, and insisting to be at the

02:02:29 --> 02:02:34

back insisting, right? And avoiding such places is also a

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

problem. Like you're not going because you can handle it, if they

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

don't treat you like that, right? This is real, or that you can you

02:02:43 --> 02:02:48

you have to be viewed as being either you're a champion or a

02:02:48 --> 02:02:51

victim. You can't just be one of the gods, right? You're either a

02:02:51 --> 02:02:56

champion, or you're a victim, you can be the source of type of

02:02:56 --> 02:02:57

problem.

02:02:58 --> 02:03:01

Okay, when he becomes honored, you can be very happy.

02:03:04 --> 02:03:08

When he becomes a local chef and a shout out at one time, a man was

02:03:08 --> 02:03:12

talking to him and his radio host. And he said,

02:03:14 --> 02:03:21

today we have for them to shake him out of the door. Okay, often

02:03:21 --> 02:03:29

do all of these accolades. And she said, she said, look, take all

02:03:29 --> 02:03:33

this blue code, right and put it on the side for now. All this

02:03:33 --> 02:03:38

sweet stuff, just put on December 2. Okay, get on with the radio

02:03:38 --> 02:03:39

show. So

02:03:42 --> 02:03:45

when central honor is not forthcoming from people, he has

02:03:45 --> 02:03:52

some surprise, some are offended, offended. This attitude indicates

02:03:52 --> 02:03:54

that the prison's efforts and deeds are not motivated.

02:03:56 --> 02:03:59

They are motivated by the desire to gain fame and to gain service

02:03:59 --> 02:04:03

from people. Okay, so this is just

02:04:04 --> 02:04:08

and this could be for religious matters and non religious matters.

02:04:08 --> 02:04:13

But if it's for non religious matters, it's considered a

02:04:14 --> 02:04:16

negative, but it's not clear.

02:04:17 --> 02:04:22

It's bad, but it's like someone is a top,

02:04:24 --> 02:04:26

a top whatever professional in his profession.

02:04:27 --> 02:04:31

He wins the Nobel Prize. Then he walks in and he expects everyone

02:04:31 --> 02:04:35

to stop talking and greet him. Because I won the Nobel Prize.

02:04:35 --> 02:04:39

What do we say about we say he has not fallen for showing off? This

02:04:39 --> 02:04:43

is not ready yet. But it's just bad manners. It's not good

02:04:43 --> 02:04:48

character. Right? It's bad character. But remember that idea

02:04:48 --> 02:04:53

is that you worship Allah. Take an act of worship, so that he can be

02:04:54 --> 02:04:57

a praise for you and a feather in your cap and people can praise you

02:05:03 --> 02:05:08

All right, so let's stop here. Classes over and show love we will

02:05:08 --> 02:05:09

get back

02:05:12 --> 02:05:16

back at it next week isn't that regular schedule any quick

02:05:16 --> 02:05:18

questions before we wrap up

02:05:23 --> 02:05:25

let's just say that

02:05:28 --> 02:05:31

it became said that the tear

02:05:33 --> 02:05:33

the tear

02:05:35 --> 02:05:41

to alarm is greater than scattered stop yeah that's true

02:05:42 --> 02:05:45

everyone heard that he said

02:05:46 --> 02:05:50

in the main sentence here on the center is more valuable more

02:05:50 --> 02:05:55

waiting in the sight of Allah and the testimony of the scholar

02:06:14 --> 02:06:14

da

02:06:15 --> 02:06:17

badly paid

02:10:36 --> 02:10:38

to say see
