Just let me know if the sound is coming in. I
haven't done this for like years.
And I'll tell you why I haven't done it in years because the
online space just became, in my opinion, no offense to anyone, but
it really just became stupid. It became something to me that is so
negative, it's all about the negative, right, there's, it's not
about sharing anything positive. And, and it became like that. So
before we continue, I need to know if the sound is coming in. So just
let me know if the sound is coming in. Well, because we have an
amazing book that we're going to cover right here.
I'm going to read from an amazing book, and I have some other things
to share about you to share with you. All right, so So remind is
telling me the sound is clear. Alright, so let's go. So first
couple things we're gonna do is we're gonna actually I'm so happy
to be back doing these things. I remember the days which I was
doing like Tuesday and Thursday, and then got involved in other
things got negative about the internet stuff looking some really
going on. But, you know, let's bring it back and do something
good with it. But
what I want to share with you is that we're having this is the
biggest online offering, okay, that we've ever had, and that is
we got 15 classes that we're offering online, including Islamic
history.
We got Hamza Reza doing Islamic history, starting with the Omean
period, so after the Khilafah we got one of he felt for Maliki FIP
but the chef show fo the chef is they're upset because we don't
have set me think we will get chef effect. We have Arabic Night
course if you want to study Arabic four nights a week Arabic, okay,
and all of it, you go to our website Safina society.org And you
can inshallah get these all more information, I'm teaching
Arpita and sciences of Quran every Sunday. Okay?
And there's a really good fit class for women if there are women
who want to study FIP and they want to study fifth with a woman
because so many you know, things in FIP Are you know, specific to
women. So especially taharah and Salah related. So you can we have
had Ahmed is going to be teaching that more in from the podcasts,
you all know more he and he's going to be teaching theater for
kids. So there's a women's fit class and then there is a theater
class for kids. And that's they're both going to spend fall, spring
and summer already covered everything fall spring and summer
and the women's fit class not just how to select it's also manners of
a Muslim prohibitions of the tongue and rights of parents. I
took Sheikh Ramiz books, summarize them, and they were part of the
course too, right? So
sonic likes that though because it was his friend's company. So this
is a really I guess, what do you call this the kava design?
All right.
I'm telling you, the most blessed thing you could do for your life
is Salah, and Salam on the Messenger of Allah when he was
setting them of course we're talking about after someone's
photo ID and and Sunnah have been observed. And Sharia is observed
from the greatest no effort, meaning extra acts that a person
could do is Salah and Saddam on the messenger and I think we need
it now more than any other time because this is in a day and age
is so dark and so much incented. Okay, on in the world today, that
this is what's going to keep us grounded, of course, all the
shadow, the shadow, meaning that things Allah has obligated upon us
and given us to do but nothing is going to keep you safeguarded from
the anxieties and the the dark. It's a dark energy all around us.
Anytime that there's a Masia there's a dark energy. Anytime
there's a thought there's no there's no you're attracting
either way, right? You're always the if you do since you're
attracting like a dark energy. And that's what brings people anxiety,
even if they physically have no problems. They may physically have
no problems. But if you're upon Masia and you're doing Milesi and
you're having or some crazy beliefs,
you're going to bring darkness into yourself that darkness
translates into like an anxiety and sometimes you look at people,
you don't have any problems in your life, but to have anxiety,
okay? And you have the opposite. Now you can have somebody with so
many issues in their life, but because they're upon TA and the
killer and in specific As Salam, O Allah rasool Allah, Allah when he
was setting them why do I say that is specific because the messenger
himself said that messenger himself said, for those who busy
themselves with Salah and salam and the messengers of Allah when
he was salam, even yet have him look where you shall for them,
look
Okay are Yorkshire ramach way and hammock your your concerns that
are bothering you to go away? Your honeymoon, your anxieties, they'll
also go away, right? And what is the gum? The gum is the thing
that's on your mind, what is the hem, it's like I started the hem
is what's on your mind, the gum is the effect of it. So a bill, for
example, a lot of people have bills. All right, I'm telling you
the best way to handle bills, when you get a bill, be happy to pay
it. Because that's wealth that may be how to home. And we know that
everyone's wealth is mixed with hot on these days, all of our
wealth, there's something that we don't, we're only responsible for
the first layer. So I work for the electric company, I get a salary
from them as hard as the job, right? But we're not responsible
for the second where did the electric company get their money,
we're not responsible for that we were only responsible for one
layer, like I inherited from my grandfather a million dollars.
Well, I don't know if grandpa's business was high that you're only
responsible for the first layer of the transaction. But the wealth
itself may still be tainted. So by shedding your innocent, and now
Allah to Allah will take out that dirty wealth. So when you get a
bill, don't be anxious, don't have anxiety, say okay, if Allah Allah
has taken up the dirty money, let me pay it, let me get rid of that
money. It's not blessed in the first place. When you take when
you do that, it just has a different impact upon you, when
you have this mentality, that I'm not gonna, you know, I'm not gonna
worry myself, because you're paying anyway. Right? If I'm
paying anyway, then why take the attitude of anxiety versus the
attitude of another attitude, that's better, that this is a
positive for me. Think about it, nothing's changing, you're paying
anyway. So your anxiety is not going to change anything, you're
being angry and upset and slamming at the door on the table. It's not
going to change anything, right? So just go forward and have a
positive attitude with it, even in the loss. All right. So this is
what the prophets I sent him said, your your the thing that's on your
mind and has a negative effect upon you, this is going to go away
with a slower scenario. So some people say, well, nothing changed.
Nothing changed, your attitude changed, your feeling changed. And
you could only really think how you feel. If you're totally
miserable. You can't come up with solutions. But when you're happy,
you'd be all creative, right? When you believe that everything's
gonna be darkness, and we're going downhill, then that's all you'll
be able to think of, they only think of ways of destruction. But
if you believe well, because of the Salah, I believe the future is
going to be positive. Now you'll be able to think clearly. So may
not change something right away. But it'll definitely change how
you feel about it. Right. And when you change how you feel, after
salon messenger, as I said in your state becomes calm, you become
whatever you feel like optimistic, there is no way that I'm going to
spend time on the Beloved of Allah and that Allah is not going to
give me back a reward. For sure, I'm going to get rewarded. So I
know that reward is there somewhere. Now it's just a matter
of where it is. So when you have this positive attitude, okay, then
all of a sudden, you can start thinking creatively, right? Second
thing is that we actually believe that there is, when they vicar and
Eva is done, we totally believe that there's a substance called a
node, this node, it is a substance.
It is a material is a subtle substance that descends into the
heart and opens it up, it makes you feel open. And now all of a
sudden, everything's good. You love everyone. You don't want
conflict with anyone.
You're not interested in this, this, you know, the things that
used to bother you before they don't bother you anymore. That's
the effect of a no. Okay, matters of Dean become beloved to you and
you rush to do them. Right, you jump at them. That's the side of
node versus just good mood. Anyone can have a good mood most of them
Gavin whenever can have a good mood. But when nobody descends
upon the heart of a person, then it has a different effect, you
start to have great feelings towards people, the shittier, the
deen of Allah becomes something beloved to you, and you move
quickly to thaw and slowly to dunya that's the effect that it
has on you.
Now the when this comes down in a heart of a person, those are the
signs when gum and him. There also we believe are subtle pieces of
substances. They're subtle substances descend upon the heart
of a person and they cause them to be tightened up, angry, negative,
depressed, etc. Okay, and so when you're literally dealing with
substances that we take unbelief, that's it only because the Allah
and His Messenger have told us that they exist. Okay?
I grew up for example, fear, Rob is something melodica melodica
poor upon people as a punishment. It's a subtle substance that they
pour upon people
Bala trials and tribulations is also a subtle substance that is
poured down on certain people.
So let's look at why is this Salah and salam the most important a
burden for us to be part of, in terms of the no effing vicar that
people do is because it is the one thing that Allah and His angels
themselves do. Allah subhana which Allah tells us soon as in ZURB
Verily Allah and His angels in Allah homiletic Aw saloon Allah
and the big day makes Allah on the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam
Yeah, you're living in a sudden Valley he was suddenly moved to
sleep oh you believe also do Salah and Salam on the prophets of Allah
when he was seven what is the meaning of
the difference then between when we do and what a loss of Hannah
what's added does it ALLAH SubhanA wa it's Allah does it as in dead
to the prophets of Allah when he was Southern, which means he is
busy be stoning upon the messenger peace be upon him, but I can't,
and he's bestowing upon him increase, and sanctification and
purity and mercy it's a lot more than just mercy otherwise he would
have said mercy. Right? So it's in dead from Allah on his messengers
of Allah who it was sudden them and for us, it's just him dead
from that Rama and that everything that Allah is bestowing on the
messenger when we do Salah and said I'm upon him we're receiving
that so min Allah He am dead when Mina is Tim dead? Yeah, so you
have to understand this. Well, now what Allah subhanaw taala is
sending something that he's sending it through somebody right
or wrong, your food for example, does it just come from the
heavens? No, it came through a plant or through your parents who
paid for it right? Or through the farmer who did the work so when
Allah was I thought in this life always comes through something and
I'll what did the prophesy centum say? In them Allah Allah will walk
the will enter Qasim Allah gives and I distributed. Okay, so the
endured this in dead in which is the giving, it's giving of
spiritual matters of various benefits that we can explore that
we can't put a limit to, okay, is coming to the messengers of Allah
when he was so now how do I get some of that so easy Allah has
made it just by moving your tongue with Salah and Saddam on the
messenger. Right. And that's esim dead now the Eastern dead, the
Salah, so we're now taking that whatever the prophets on and
whatever he's receiving it to the degree in which we follow Him,
we're also receiving, okay, that same thing, we're in his lane now,
we're plugged into his outlet, some of the law who it was and it
also means that whatever is against the profit is against us.
And that's why I say not is and beware of anyone who's an enemy of
the Prophet, but then he loves you. Right? There's a problem
here. Okay, this book again, it's I just started reading it. It's
from Durban, South Africa. All right, the gift of Daru, Durood
and Salaam. I just started reading it is one of the best topics. And
I was given this book by 15 years. Right? So it's a wonderful topic.
So this is what we're going to read from and just, you know,
bring up the discussion, whatever comes from it. So it's also
something to worry about, if somebody is dead against the
teaching of your prophet, but they like you. Well, there's a problem.
There's something weird here. So if we're on the path of the
prophets, I send them then whoever, whatever is for him is
for us, and whatever is against him is against us. Now, when a
person does a lot of this, they start to love the messenger peace
be upon him. And that leads you to another level which is whatever is
his Sharia and his sunnah. You start to love it too. And you
start to follow it.
All right, and that increases you in this is Tim dirt. And that's
really one of the great so what did this what was the energy of
the sahaba? Why they followed the prophets. I saw them so much they
loved him.
They loved the messenger. When they loved him. They followed
everything he did they they advanced his Deen after his return
to Allah subhana wa Tada. So it's the habit of the Messenger of
Peace Be Upon Him is one of the things that is what drives us. It
drives us forward. Now if you want to know about the mimetic there
are three major principles you can say in the Matic among them
according to shape. Right. Yeah. And Matata. Yeah. And who tests
for COVID Rahim Allah. One of them. Is that who was Dyneema
medic have like a spiritual shake? And the answer is at the time
there was no such thing as this is my ship and hadith is my ship. And
this is my ship and you know, matters of the heart. But he did.
Right there. It didn't have a name for it. But his shift on these
types of matters was Java sada saying remember Java. So how do we
know this? Because the Prophet himself said it.
He said he used to visit Java to sign up. Send an email job was
signed up was an email ammendment
DNA said I never saw him except that he was sitting on his rug
after prayer or he was praying or he was reciting Quran
sending a message off to the side and then is described by medic as
saying that nobody was more mirthful just it just like to
joke. A lighthearted than Java saw the exact opposite personality of
human medic. Okay. He was light hearted. Medic was not light
hearted medic was serious and stern. He's a nobody was more
lighthearted and liked to joke, okay, then Japhet Assad up until
the name of the messengers of Allah when he was Saddam, was
uttered. And then he became His face changed, it became extremely
serious, okay, and it would change color, and he would enter into a
vicar and DUA and so on the prophets I saw
Malik attended with Java saw that and loved him so much he took on
the same attribute. And this is why you see such an emphasis on
the love and honor of the messengers of Allah when he was
selling them with the mimetic right in his law even and in his
own self. So then, his family and his friends would ask a young Imam
Malik, what is it that we see your face changing when the messenger
is mentioned? He said, This is what I saw the great job for the
sake of doing right.
So he became like that he absorbed the same state of his teacher. On
top of that, saying that Imam Malik received a MACOM. Okay, that
was an amazing one, which is that he never slept, except seeing the
prophets of Allah when he was on them. And he for this is one of
the reasons people say O Matic never left Medina, he wouldn't
consider it that you can only you only leave Medina for a reason. If
you're living Allah bless you to live next to the grave of the
messenger. So I said him and he used to say, don't say graven the
messenger next to the messenger, because he's as Allah, he's more
alive now than he is when he was in this life. Why?
Wonder how early there's a well
documented rule. Allah says, what is to come is always better for
the Prophet, then what is present. And this is also the case for
those who are following the prophets. I said that their future
is always better than their past. Right? It's all it's so
optimistic. That's why soon as the Doha and Saudis are sharp, they
come right after each other. They're the cures of grief and
depression. Right now, I know a lot of people say, Oh, don't say
depression, it's clinical fun. If it's clinical, go to somebody, but
we can also talk about it as being non clinical. Right?
No extreme sadness, let's put it that way and not use the word
depression. So no one gets a confusion. But grief, extreme
sadness, just emotional down. This is something that suited the law
and suited to show are the cures of it, read them, contemplate
them, and you'll see what I'm talking about. But that's what
ematic he got his that from his shift, jump at his side, and he
became like that, okay? That he wouldn't ride on an animal inside
the precinct of Medina or even wear his shoes around the area of
the mosque. Okay, and he would never leave it. And he would say
that the sanctity of the messenger sighs that and while a lot of
while that is the sanctity while alive, which means that you don't
raise your voice around him, you face it, face him. Someone asked
him O Matic. I'm visiting the Prophet. I'm making Salah and
salam upon him. Now I want to make dua, do I turn my back and face
the Qibla? Or do I stay facing the province I Salam Matic said, If
the Prophet was alive, would you turn your back to him? He said,
No, I would just I would, I would say Sudan to make my dua. He said
then do it that way too. So his his the way the prophet is treated
in death is the same way he's treated in life. Okay, so again,
the topic here is Salah, and Salam on the Prophet peace be violent,
which the messenger has told us is our elixir for grief and for
concerns and anxieties and it's not uncommon is very common as a
Kurama for people regular people, they got especially debts, they
got issues they got problems is that they turn to Salah and said
I'm on the Master Site and within a few period of time, a short
period of time their trial is alleviated. Okay
one of the associates the special things about this a bad that's
different from any other a bad is that it's always accepted. Whether
you're heedless or not. It's always accepted. It's one of the
bad debt that is always accepted by Allah subhanaw taala and that's
why if a person is going to make dua he begins the Salah and salaam
before and after the draw, and that which is in between will
inshallah be elevated. I'm telling you, we have to say this because
there's so many. There's so many things now that are causing her
move on people. Okay,
my inability to cover expenses is a big hem on certain people. And
these things are going up, right? The ideas that are spreading
around are also the source of whom. Now, I'm going to tell you
that
this is not a replacement for the sacred law, there is nothing
better for anxiety or stress than to follow the sacred law, because
the sacred law will stop you from going from opening the doors that
are going to let the floodgates open. And what are they there are
only few things that threw few main things in any intoxication,
right?
Women, men and women, the problems and dramas that develop from that.
And then the financial, getting yourself into debt is why Allah is
prohibited Riba. And nowadays, unfortunately, a lot of you a lot
of youth, they're falling into this gambling app. They think that
if I gamble, $1 it's not a really a big problem, right? Gambling
dollars and cents for some kids, and some people just outright
gambling. All of these are bringing home into the people. All
right. And when I look around the United States, right? There's just
anxieties and problems everywhere. Well, it's one of the reasons is
because what the leadership has done. Recently, New York Times
uncovered that a drone strike that was supposed to kill an ISIS K,
which is ISIS, a Hooksett. Leader, turns out the guy's an aid worker
for for an organization that's an American organization in
California. Right? And this guy has seven kids, him and his kids
dead.
Then they discovered Oh, oops, it wasn't a bomb he's holding it was
water. Because there's no water where he lives. He's got to go to
his office, get containers of water and bring it back. So they
saw him and his cousin and his brother, whatever going and get
these water containers brought him into the trunk drive home. And
they said, Oh, it's a bomb. Let's bomb these guy. And this guy know
how much pain is in the heart of that family. Now, can you just
imagine for a second
that you have a spouse? And let's say two kids forget seven kids.
Seven kids you just can't fathom. You have both a wife and two kids,
a wife and three kids.
Or a husband and three, four kids. You get news? They're all been
killed
by a strike.
How much pain is in the heart of that Muslim woman? Now this woman
she has access to Allah Subhana Allah and Allah to Allah. What do
you call It's a p.
m, Quaaludes RP, every pious Muslim is worthy of Allah that
means there is a MACOM of general Wilaya of the macmini. Okay? It
LDL who Elon would have been?
Any would Chappie has a portion of Willa. Willa means divine
protection if he makes to our answer.
Now, the higher bacame of hula means every drive they make his
answer. But the other MACOM is that some of the DUA that they
make is going to have to do imagine how much pain is in the
heart of that mother, right now. When she makes dua, where's that
do I go has been going up and going over to the United States,
they're the cause. It's not just going over to the one person who
hit the button.
And when we look around, we have to make a connection because the
Quran tells us this, make connections don't just watch what
the news is telling you make connections, when bad things are
happening is always connected to some kind of volume, some wrong
and when we look around, and there's properties increases
pricing going up, taxes going up. anxieties, increasing depressions,
increasing all these negatives, and people don't even know who
they are anymore. And they're going into insanities. All right,
forgive me, but it is stuff is insanity. Right?
So much of the cert, some of the surgeries that you see happening
on teenagers.
You're doing gender reassignment on a teenager, they're not even
legally allowed to get a tattoo.
But you're cutting off their genitalia. So this is just
insanity. Insanity is like a type of disease, this type of
punishment that Allah spread on people is the that's the only way
to
interpret it. It's just like a punishment, punishment of what
look at what we've done as a country. Right. Now, most people
can't control it. But the Quran says but we're not we're not the
government. We don't do this stuff. But the Quran says fear the
sins that does not only have a reaction upon the ones who do it.
Okay, so if a government goes and they will destroy another country
and kill so many people innocently.
It's not just the people who pick the buttons that are going to get
the punishment. It there's going to be a general punishment on the
whole entire nation. And when you look around at the insanity, and
the misguidance we know it's misguidance they don't know what's
misguided. We know this stuff will destroy you. You go down this
route and you start
Playing around with this stuff, it will utterly destroy you. Okay?
And that's exactly what's happening. You play around with
the family that happened a long time ago. Now you're playing
around with, you know who
what kind of person you are. That'll destroy you. Now you're
playing all sorts of sexualities and stuff is going to ruin you.
Now gambling is legal. Now, here's the thing in the year 2020 $400
million.
The number the amount of money that New Jersey residents lost in
gambling $400 million.
Okay. And the state earned $120 million in taxes.
Gambling is one of the things is just going to completely destroy
people when it spreads. And you can't even watch a football game
now except half of its all about gambling. I don't even understand
and I don't want to understand when they tell you the over unders
this or I don't know what the the odds are this one that I don't
want to understand. It's almost like Hummer or this is a
convertible the homeowner is not something that you want to
understand. It's actually I think it was almost it was a thug gave a
piece of advice is that don't keep company with sinners, because
you'll learn about sins. I don't want to know the difference
between a champagne, what that's made of liquor, what that's made
of beer with that tomato, unless I need to study it for FIP. Right,
mainly Hanafi fit, because most of the other methods of Commodus
company, but the Hanafi is they have a distinction of what's next
and what's not. Okay, but not that it's harder, but it's maybe not me
nervous. I want to know this information. I don't want to
become educated in this right? Say normal said don't keep their
company because you'll get educated in something that's bad
for you. And when you're educated with something you become like
comfortable with it. Not okay accepting but it's not an odd
thing. Right? It's not an odd thing. One time a guy he gave me I
was at a Japanese restaurant. And he gave me a drink he said drink
this. It's Saki I had no clue what it was right?
Maybe at that point you need to have some clue so that you don't
drink it. Right but he was they put it on the food right? So just
give me a squirt. And anyone you don't want to I don't even know
what they're saying. But these gambling it's destroying people.
Okay, now when people they lose so much money on gambling well what
do they do to alleviate their problem? You can't live with
yourself you drink when you drink he gets sick. Right? So we turned
out that the city itself is the best safeguard from the bulk of
these issues the city itself
but then within life inside the city of the city a person could
still have worldly who moved Okay, maybe not because of these tidal
waves so he blocked off the tidal waves gambling is a tidal wave
intoxication is a tidal wave all these things are tidal waves but
still a regular Muslim life you'll still have humo profit selling
those will be removed by sulla and said I'm on the messenger Peace be
upon okay
I'm going to close with this and we're going to go to the q&a
the most simple Salah and Saddam on the messenger which you can
fail to do it is three words along with Sunday.
Okay, three words a long month suddenly Are they alright which is
That's how simple it is. Oh Allah sense Allah upon him.
Three words Allah masala day.
This is the shortest simplest Salah and Salam on the Messenger
of Peace be upon.
We're gonna get to the q&a Right now I got my iPad, I'm ready to
go. But listen up. The term is starting fall semester is
starting. We got 15 online classes. One five, we got CETA for
kids. Okay.
We got fifth essentials for mainly it's going to be like middle aged
and preteen women who want to learn their fifth from another
woman, we finally are able to offer that with her.
Okay. And I'm making dua, I've made the intention, these live
streams are going to be more regular, right? And it will take
time just find a groove. So for example, tomorrow I have a class,
I still take a class as a student from 12 to two so we'll probably
do this right after that. Maybe 230 to three is short for us. 230
to 315, maybe. Okay, Wednesday, also I can come on right after
round one o'clock. 130. Thursday, same thing. But it's really
honestly it's really fun doing these again, and seeing everyone
talk and be with everybody.
Sundays as part of the class. Now how does this work? All of our
online platform is divided between ArcView basic and arc view plus
ArcView basic is simple Arabic language, simple classes that
every Muslim should know. 10th week we got Chinua Saunders
teaching our 10th week class mashallah we're so lucky to have
him
We have
tweens and teenagers if you want your teenagers to take your class
I want to you know teach the teenagers class I think it's very
important, but
it's going to be a teenagers class Wednesday, they want to take it
they can take that all of the archy basic it's $10 a month. So
people take it and when the term is done, they either stay on and
watch the pre recorded videos, the previous classes, we have now over
30 pre recorded classes, the platform is becoming huge. Okay.
So only 10 bucks a month. The classes are out there and then the
scholarship class is 49 bucks a month. Okay, but you can check it
all out at Safina society.org and you can sign up because the term
starts this next week. Alright Sunday Shalom all right let's get
to your comments or questions here and let's do this for a little bit
it's 137 right we can go for a little bit jolla alright so
Mohammed Adam says Salah and Salam on the messenger say salam
heedlessly
it does have a benefit but it's not the same benefit as if it's
done
with too much Nina slowly. If you want to benefit from a bad you
need to do it slowly. Okay.
Pharaoh very agile with the prophesy seven said the best of
good things is that what you do quickly
means you go to it quickly, like as soon as it comes in mind, drop
everything and do it.
And then he said,
agile administrate on what to end even a rock man rushing is from
satan and going deliberate and slow and steady is from ramen,
which means inside the worship, you go slow in the worship when
you're doing the worship, go slow. Take it easy. You won't benefit if
you rush through it. Okay, you won't benefit. Can you taste the
food? If you're rushing through it? No. Go slow. Take it easy.
Okay.
Now let's go to so rush to it. But when you're in it, go slowly.
Alright, Mujahid Sher Shah Jehan has a great name. He has shared
the link, thank you very much for sharing that because we started
what is the best time to teach young kids Fatima? Afters
question.
Young kids, you teach them stories, and you teach me that you
teach them stories and how to do worship, right how to pray, and
that they should see you sitting down to recite the Quran, how to
do test B and vicar. And you teach them stories. How many Sadat's is
recommended to do per day, though I know that many of them said that
300 A Day is a lot. 1000 is the number that you see all over the
place. Now some people say it is a bit. It is true that it is a sound
opinion that putting a number to something is a bit odd. But the
other opinion is it's conditionally it's a bit out on
the condition, if you believe there's a special thing about that
number, but if it's merely just to help us to be organized, then it's
not. If it's if it's to help you be organized and have a system to
things. But you don't believe that, like 1001 versus 999 is a
difference. Right? Not much. You know, there's obviously a
difference, but there's not no special Baraka attached to that
one number 1000. That's that it's fine. That's the opinion that I
lean towards, and I believe in, because practically speaking, you
need systems. You just can't just leave something open ended. Go try
to memorize the Quran without a system. And every time you get a
system, like I go sit with the shift Tuesday and Thursday, and I
memorize for half an hour, and I memorize five A's a day. And so
it's not at all it's a bit odd to have a system No, you're not going
to do anything. So I respect the opinion that is held by some that
say any number or system is to be discouraged. Right? I totally
respect that. Because they don't want us to get stuck in something
that's not obligating us to be stuck. And I totally respect that.
At the same time, if we don't, as long as we're not recognizing that
there's some special thing about that number because the Prophet
didn't assign it and he's the only one who can make a number special.
And it's just for the sake of being helping us attain
consistency. Okay, then it's acceptable.
And therefore, we have said Abdullah Massoud quoted by eminent
okay him and Josie are saying on Fridays make sure you do 1000
squats on the prophets I said and that's an imminent payment Josie
is book
room on interferon says can you read excerpts from that adequate
odds or do you have to read it every day in order? No, you can
read excerpts no problem. What about 313? It said it's a special
number 313 is in a week narration that that's the number of people
who are with Satan and dilute when he fought alive and it's with the
Prophet when he fought said I will say that
I suffer Allah when he fought the Quran. And so that's why that
number 313 Sometimes 315 and other Hadith say 300 and an odd number.
They come up in those narrations, but they're all weak narrations,
but they are they do come up. Okay?
Good
All right. Roman is asking what is this book called? It's called
The Gift of dudes and Salem,
published by Madras it's Chani, with Dean
Tollywood. Dean is Fingal Beach, South Africa. I've always wanted
to go to South Africa.
But never had the chance. But that's where you you could
probably just Google it and it'll come up there. A lot of effort was
put into this book. It's a hardcover book.
Okay?
Abdur Rahman, Muhammad says, I feel praying Salah for its sake,
how should we get out of it? Can you clarify?
Muhammad Adam says, Is it true that who read more dude in their
lives get a chance to see the prophets I send them in their
dreams 100% 100% And
the goal of every person is to be able to see the Prophet sized in
their dream. And that's a wonderful goal. It's not something
that's light that can be taken lightly.
Zhi Shan says, Is it Is there such a thing as free will in Islam?
Yes, for sure there is enough free will that we will be taken to
account for our deeds. And we have cast we believe all actions are
the creation of Allah Kanaka como Mata Malou Allah says we created
you and what you do, so are all actions. physical actions are
creations, what we have as customers, I have my
Conservatoire. Mr. Testament, what we have is customer, right? We we
can earn those actions by intending them. And either Allah
granted to us or he doesn't, for example, we intend a lot of
actions and are unable to do them. Like I intend to go to visit
somebody, but then my car broke down. So you get the reward of it,
but you didn't do it. So we have CASP, of course, and that's how
we're taking into account we believe that we're taking into
account.
NSF med says
Salawat on Friday after us, the between us and melodem especially
so between, let's say between Austin and Austin is here and
metronome is here. This hour right before Mother's Day is a special
hour, don't book anything
and just focus on da
people they don't I don't know why they don't make a lot of dua, it's
almost like they think and they imagine do i is only when I have
cancer, Allah and look at this creation, look at the vastness of
the creation. Okay? Allah loves to create, and he loves to give, he
loves to give us, okay.
He loves to give it to give us so you ask and Allah loves that he's
asked, he's he loves that he's asked,
it doesn't only have to be when I'm dying of cancer that I make
dua it could be completely selfish. And why did the automat
they sanction them? Why? Because if you make dua, and you're
completely selfish about it, it's just my personal thing that I want
from Allah subhanaw taala okay. And Allah Tada totally accepted
this. Why? Because you will not persist in such dua over and over
and over seeking out the special and sacred times, except that you
will transform guarantee your transform in a short amount of
time. You're going to transform. Okay,
and your Eman is going to be something else. And then you're
going to start realizing that this dua that you're doing is is
greater gift. You may not love it as much, but it is a greater gift
than anything that you're asking. You just may not love it as much.
You may love Oh, I want I need to marry her. I love I want to marry
a beautiful woman. Okay, you keep praying for that. Excellent.
There's no blame on that. That's a wonderful dua. It's totally valid
and Asuna. Okay. But you have to realize that once you've been
given,
this dua is greater than marriage, because dua is immense right into
the heart. But marriage is not always even in the heart. But if
you persist upon this, then Allah will teach you
How to Improve your DUA, when to do dua. And what to also include
in your DUA. You can't do to opt for dunya only after included for
fo when you asked to get married or to have a car or to have a job,
ask for Baraka in it. You may get it, but it might not be blessed.
So you need to learn how to make dua. Okay. And when you start
doing dua that Allah teaches you, in the medic saw his students and
the writing so much and having piles of notes, and he said, Why
do I see you just compiling so much knowledge? Right? Memorize
what you can practice it than Allah puts a note in your heart
and you start seeing what's important, what the how to do
things and Allah shows you. Okay, so that's how, so that's why I
never shy away from when someone asked about da to remind people,
be selfish, all you want with your DUA because that's how you'll
grow. Because if you tell somebody, listen, get up and be
pious, in the middle of the night. Maybe one out of 100 people is
going to wake up to pray in the middle of the night. But if you
tell them listen, what your heart desires, what you truly desire,
write it down.
You can pick it up, go get it in the middle of the night, that 100
out of 100 are gonna get up.
Like everyone's got a different desire. We have all these
different people here, right? All of you have a different desire in
life. You all want something different.
Right? What is it deep in the recesses of your heart that you
would imagine it just put no limits on it? No logic, no limits.
Okay, Allah is the Creator. What do you want to integrate for you?
Go get it in the middle of the night. You will see people jumping
for tahajjud go get it in the sujood insula in the DUA before
and after salah. You will see people jumping for Salah they will
love Salah because that's the time where I can get what I asked for.
And if you want to know if you want, if a dua is going to be
answered, oftentimes, many, many people say that there's a
correlation
between the persistence in DUA and ejabberd to dua, and they say this
because the Prophet himself said, you will get what you want. If you
as long as you don't give up. You don't rush some Saba said what is
rushing, say rushing means he stopped making dua. He said, I
asked, and I didn't get it. Why are you rushing? Take your time,
sometimes things take time, could make one year, two years, five
years even. Right? As long as you're praying for the thing, it
is possible, a little creative for you. And as it becomes more likely
as the more time goes on. So that's the importance of that last
hour before magotteaux By saying an hour doesn't mean 60 minutes,
it means it could be 20 minutes 30 period of time.
All right, let's see. Is it true that vicar of the province I said
was better for you than thinking of Allah? The question room on of
course, that someone gave this to you or mentioned this is a false
question. Vic Rasul Allah is the gorilla. You cannot make
remembrance of the messenger without making remembrance of
Allah and Salah on the messenger is in obedience to the commandment
of Allah. So don't separate the two the salah on the prophet is
the Kula. aren't you saying Allah, Allah subhana wa, alright. And
you're responding to Allah's commands and for the messengers
command. So it is the same thing out there, man, Mohammed says, I
feel like like work like Salah is work.
Just imagine, now there are there's work and then there's
things that you enjoy doing and having, you'd have to make a link
between the two what you enjoy doing and having, who's going to
bring it to you, it's alone. So sulla now becomes for yourself
benefit. You're only benefiting yourself.
Right? You're better paying yourself. He goes to law. And I
believe that I'm standing in front of the Creator.
And he loves to give. So and I love to ask and I have a lot of
things that I want in life. So when you're sulla becomes that you
have a desire for the salah. I guarantee you slowly you will
start to love the one who gives more than the gift. We all were
infantile and we love the gifts we want the gift and Allah is the
giver. We love the gifts we're going to him for the gift. That's
fine. That's just means in maturity level of Eman is growing.
Eventually when Allah gives you the gift that you're asking for,
you will love the giver of the gifts more than any gift he could
give him. But that's going to happen naturally when you go
through the phases
is it true? We've read this question What is the shortest
Hamza Jiang is answering. Maybe he's related to Carl Jung. What is
the shortest route Allahumma Salli ala three words Allahumma Salli
ala you can count the syllables as well.
Sara mo says I've learned that sending salon the Prophet while
preparing food can help make your children your family and so odia
it's it's a practice that all of the ODS they do they do Salah and
salaam on the messenger while
preparing food or any work, especially food doing vicar before
sunset time
before rising sun holds a special place inside of Allah. Yes it does
because ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada says women enter inlayed for some trap
and Maha La La Qatada what's the speciality? Of a Betta any a bad
during around sunrise and sunset? Well answer simply is that look in
this verse in the middle of the night do some a better and at the
edges of the day
look at our locks so that you can become content what So what did
the automat say it whatever is your wish list of desire from
ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada if you persist in remembering Allah and
making dua and thicker than a birder anytime in the middle of
the night, and at the edges of the day around fetch an amalgam
and you don't stop and you don't give up you will be given what
you're asking for.
That's the keys you don't give up. Because Allah promised it I look
at Allah so that you can become content.
I've also been taught that sending Salah and Salam on the province is
gonna help with emotional regulation. So it's the number one
emotional regulator and if you have a character that you have
temper you have depression, you have sadness, you have envy you
have all these messed up, okay, and everyone to some degree is
messed up. That's the truth, right? We all have some thorns in
our character Salah and salaam slowly smooths out your character
he become humble, right? If you're aggregating become humble, if
you've been angry, become patient, if you judge people, you become
less judgmental, right?
So Allah and Salam on the Prophet never matches with being harsh. It
never matches with being harsh.
As salaam aleikum if Allah says disbelievers hearts are sealed
from the truth, does this mean we shouldn't give them down? No,
Kareem even Skander asked a good question. It's not all
disbelievers. It's the disbeliever, who's already
received the Dawa many times and persist in rejecting it. That's
the one whose heart is sealed. And even our best he says, the verse
of the heart sealing is like a hand. Allah gives him the
reminder. He says no, once Allah gives them the reminder, he says
no, again, no, again, no again, no again until He seals it. So who
sealed it, he sealed it, then if you insist upon something that
Allah helps you. That's the law of nature. Everything is by law, and
one of the laws of spiritual laws. If you insist upon something,
Allah will help you do it. So he helps them. So he stamps it for
them. Cut them a lot of Peruvian, when does Allah stamp their hearts
closed? When they close it themselves? They were given a
reminder they said no, given her mind is and you have someone who's
care for a promoting this cool for like Dawkins and these people for
like a 50 year career. You sealed your own heart. Right? They sealed
it themselves. And Allah only gives you what you did.
Good question, but but we're still obligated to. But if someone has
shown no willingness, and in fact, the opposite, then we don't have
to call us they received the data and they rejected it. That's their
issue. No doubt when you want to give Dawa. Save your breath, give
it to the people who have a willingness to listen. Give it to
the people who want to, to hear it and to respond. Okay. And that's
why to be honest, I don't go into the debate world anymore. I don't
debate about liberals about
this nonsense. They don't, they don't want to hear and we can't we
don't talk the same language. We don't have even observe reality is
not the same anymore. Logic is not the same anymore. Language is not
the same. There is no point in having this discussion. I said in
the other podcast, the game's over with that crowd. I'm not talking
to them anymore. And it's very unfortunate that a lot of Muslim
like activists, I guess you can say they just are just repeating
left wing talking points, like woke and progressive and liberal
talking points. Why are you repeating that stuff? I mean,
you're all against repeating right wing talking points. Fine. I agree
with that, right, we only have one talking point. That's the deep,
right, and logic and common sense. But
this repetition of progressive talking points. And I just gotta
tell you,
we don't we don't observe these progressive principles, these woke
or progressive or liberal principles. They're not over the
it's not our principles. So there's no point in coming to me,
or at me with these types of things. And I don't want to get
into that because it just turns you into a negative person when
you argue so much with those people. So I just could argue what
I'm going to focusing on. And guess what, there's a big
announcement coming in two weeks right after the semester starts
because we got 15 online courses now that we're promoting now, once
that semester settles down, I have such an announcement. It's going
to make you all so happy. We're turning away from that crowd and
turning towards people who really can benefit and that's the poor,
right? That they're really struggling. And we're blessed that
we have
that type of community only a few miles away that we can go and we
can do something there. We can benefit them
and bring some benefit and get our sins expunged and Allah saves you
only by helping your health for the poor. Right? That's how Allah
saves people.
Okay, he I'm not from Korea. I'm from India, I speak to you. Oh,
it's Hamza. Okay, I got you. I got you.
Yeah, sometimes I just forget the names. Next question says are
common.
You che Sydney up in the tub near the gym out, they say to tisby of
each student. So far three cut him after Feds Messala.
Sara says sending sulla in our heart countered effectively, yes,
100%. But if it also happens on the tongue, it's a different and
an added type of reward. Right? In case of being company wanted to
make a lot, yes, the movement of the heart is as valid as the
movement of the tongue. But the movement of the tongue adds to it.
All right, two more minutes. So if anyone has any questions, we'll
just take two more minutes of q&a. And then we will be in the wrap it
up. And we had a nice return back to this world, the world of
Facebook live streams, right? What is practical steps you recommend
for us to transform ourselves spiritually? Make a goal for
yourself, what do you want, that would completely motivate you in
your life, that you will break through bricks, if you knew that
you can attain it at the other end.
Write that down.
And then I tell you one simple thing you can attain it only
through Allah subhanaw taala. Go get it from Allah. Allah can give
it to you. And always keep it on your mind. Right? Always keep it
on your mind. Because you keep it on your mind. And remember, Allah
can make it happen for you. He created all this world, right? And
nothing you ask is going to be bigger than this universe. This
the universe is everything other than Allah and cone in Arabic.
Okay? It's not going to be it's not gonna be bigger than that. Go
for it. Get it from Allah Tada, you'll find yourself jumping for
tahajjud jumping for dua for sulla.
So that's how you do it.
You just says how to refrain ourselves from lustful desires.
Okay.
That's a tough one.
That is a tough one.
If you can put yourself a reward, what is the reward if you abstain
from this,
that Allah is going to give me this? Right?
A reward that's greater than your lustful desires. Right? That's
what's going to motivate you to start or you'll be so busy chasing
after your goals. Then you'll leave it off if you know that
that's one of the that's the deal. If I leave off this I know Allah
is gonna give me this. I assemble star says ceremony why concern we
missed the after fetch talks. Yeah. So now inshallah we'll do
these. And as the cabal is agreeing with Aisha matar,
were they friends or something? They related or something? All
right, you show next question, what are some quick Salawat that
we can do daily? Allahumma Salli ala alumna Saudi Ali. And if you
want the long form version, you go to Salawat hub.org For the long
form ones. But Allah Houma Sunday, it is the easiest one. alongside
Dr. Muhammad Ali. Mohammed is another easy one that's very
popular.
Mohammed Adam says you talked about dark energy. Yes, there's an
opposite of Newell, there's no more and there's a volume, Allah
subhanaw taala speaks to them in the Quran of photomerge. When No,
these are the automatic thoughts. These are the it means the
concepts of misguidance but it's the physical Miss matter as well.
It's a subtle matter that is Lumapps and enters the art and
causes fear and anxiety and everything bad.
And you remove it by doing. I bet that by doing good deeds,
right, and that brings new, how do we motivate teens to be more
spiritual?
That's a good question.
And you motivate them.
Okay, by teaching them you want stuff in this world? You can get
it from Allah make dua. Right.
That's how you do it. You want something from Allah, don't you?
We all do. Only someone doesn't want something. You're going to
get it from ALLAH, so obey him. He'll give it to you.
What is the default? How can we say that? You say that? Because
the default of dua is that it's answered as you ask it. That's the
default only as the
Gibler go
for Hamza Yes, all this is recorded and will just it will
download and put it up on YouTube.
The other thing that you can motivate your teams to be more
spiritual is to have deals with them look, you want to go do this,
that or the other fine give me 20 minutes of recitation of Quran and
salah and the prophets I said of them. And we'll do that first. Do
that first and then we'll do the thing that we want to do. Give me
five minutes give me 10 minutes. Give me one minute. Right and
sometimes that's the only motivation but that is the same
thing, right? It's you're connecting it to a reward. People
will move by love, they love something. You want this you love
this. Just give me this. Right? Isn't that what Allah to Allah
will do that for us too, right? You want Hassan you want this?
Just give me some prayers. Give me some fast give me some Hajj. Few
days of Hajj. Let me
the this is going to be put up on YouTube channel Safina society.
Khadija Islam Where did you learn your knowledge from I learned it
from different Allamah

Morocco. Right.

check it out and
and inshallah you will find a lot of classes that a very beneficial
All right, and if you have any questions you can send an email or
tomorrow when I come on we can talk about it. Last question if we
self feel a sense of self pride or satisfaction from doing a Betta
then what do we do? That's knifes and shaytaan getting involved so
you have to pray that Allah to Allah grants you humility and
accepts your actions because just because you did a better doesn't
mean Allah accepts it. So pray that Allah accepts are a Betta and
ask Allah to Allah for humility. Just a couple Okay.
