Muslims now. Yeah, that'd be crazy. That's the 20 year goal.
Yeah.
The you know, what I loved about coming here is that when you walk
in here, there's certain language certain crazy ideas that are that
just do not exist here. Like all the crazy liberal stuff that would
have existed anywhere else. It doesn't exist. Luxury, luxury
problems. Yeah, I think have you been what put us here hamdulillah
to stay away like how did chick chick Yeah, he get away from it to
the farmlands. So how would I get away from it? To the hood? To
people who speak English? Forget being woke?
Yeah, all this stupid jargon that makes me crazy. That's the thing
about these jargon words. I was thinking I think someone said it
in the chat.
Like, they don't translate to other languages. No, like, how are
you going to say microaggressions?
Yeah, eventually you're gonna have a whole dictionary of words that
no one has a clue what you're saying. Yeah. And this
community here, you could never be in New Brunswick. This close to a
university with 50,000 students. Yet this far away from woke ism.
Yeah, the way we are here
we are
Smilla Rahmanir Rahim Al hamdu lillah wa Salatu was Salam ala
Rasulillah. Who was the woman who Allah? My brothers and sisters a
system or a comb, Jimmy and welcome to all of you here to the
Nether effects live stream. today.
We started late. Why did we start late? Do I like to start late? No,
I don't like starting late. But I started late because
there's a somebody very close in our community who was going
through basically near death. And it's Jani. You don't like to say
this, but it's like going to be almost like any minute now. And
that's what we've been doing tending at the hospital. You know,
not attending but visited constantly visiting, visiting,
keeping tabs overnight preparing all this stuff. Hey, right. When
you get a minute, I think actually turn this thing off.
What you see, yeah, I think I just turned off.
Okay, I turned it on when I came in. It's on now, because I was
playing with the buttons and just double check when you get a
minute. If you look back there, it's it's coming up.
Yeah, I guess it'll start coming soon. If it doesn't know, I'll
just let you know, because I touched the temp temperature. But
I think I hit the on off button. By accident.
I don't know.
My son's always messing stuff up when I play with it.
So that's what we've been doing. And that's why we're late. So I
hate being late to this. But we're in a situation that is a unique
situation. That, to me is very special. Some people think it's a
crazy idea to talk like this, but I don't I really think that the
death of a righteous person is a blessed season. It's like a mini
season and a mini little window to the unseen. And people look at the
body of the person.
The body is just a casing.
This is not even how they look for real. It's not how the room looks.
Jerry has its own form, and it will be given a whole new body.
And age is nothing either for us because otherwise, they don't age.
Okay. So let's see how we're doing on Instagram.
All right, yes. Coming up.
Open up here. There's no news today, to be honest with you.
There's nothing special to talk about in the news. So I'm not even
going to do news today. What we're going to do today is we're going
to read
from the opening of hearts, wonderful book
that you can get from Lulu Press.
Good. And this book, we're going to look at the chapter on a good
ending. What is the sign that a Muslim has a good ending? Like,
what are the signs of that? Now Allah to Allah does never never
gives us a goal to see to reach and to aim for without showing us
the signs of the progression. And without showing us the sign that
someone's made it.
Okay? Now there's only there's a danger. And it's a prohibition of
ever imagining that you made it.
Good. But there is permissibility and it is rationally and by
Shinya. It is possible.
Read I'm going to look up your your question right now.
And that's by the way, that is a very good way of getting our
attention.
See how she put the questions here? One word per thing and I'm
looking at what is going on here so very that's a smart I guess she
is social media type okay she she knew how to get our attention now
I'm going to look it up so he can you put a link actually give me
the link that'll be that'll make my life a lot easier if you give
me the link and just put it in the in the in the in the thing
but
Allah China does not give a person a goal
and it is possible to reach the goal and know that you reach the
goal while you're still alive.
But it's dangerous territory
Sahaba knew they entered Jana.
But did they sit there thinking about it and allowing themselves
to say well, I made it I can just chill now. If they truly made it
they never think like that.
Saying Abu Bakr Siddiq had more taqwa and fear of the consequences
of sins than anybody else.
It's not don't think, oh, it's Allah is going to punish him. No,
it's not about that. It's about sins have consequences attached to
them. Whether or not you're wealthy,
or you're a sinner, no matter how much worship and how intimate
you've been with ALLAH SubhanA wa that it doesn't matter. The sin
has a consequence attached to it forever. Okay.
No matter how successfully, you've avoided getting burned in your
entire life, touching a flame will still burn your hand.
So don't ever think about, oh, Allah is not going to punish him.
Allah is not going to punish me. It's not about Allah going around
and punishing. It's about the sins
being attached to punishments.
So don't think about it. And because I remember one time
someone said, can you imagine a law punishing someone? I can't
imagine it. It's not about that. There's a cause and effect.
There's a spiritual cause and effect certain deeds. They're
attached to certain sins of certain punishments.
It's a law in the same way. What can you imagine? You know,
someone's so and so?
And you know, not walking?
You can't? Can you imagine someone like
LeBron James not knowing how to play basketball? Yes, I can
imagine if he falls out of a plane. Right? If the certain laws
and causes and effects happen, then it could happen. Yes. And
it's not personal.
It may it may be that Allah Allah wills to forgive somebody and love
somebody. But if you touch those sins,
you will face the punishment, the penalty, the pain attached to that
sin. That's why Mmm, no, he said, a person can no he's well, even
earlier Allah. But that will only increase him in support. Because
he understands fully that no matter who you are, sins come with
baggage. And that baggage is pain and torment and darkness in the
heart and all sorts of other problems. All right. Don't imagine
that it's a personal thing. That Allah is going around chasing and
punishing people. It's the sin itself is attached to that. Why so
you could stay away from it?
Why would Allah attach torment to certain deeds, so you can stay
away from it for your own betterment? So medicine, they
always make it taste bad. So kids don't eat it. Don't drink it.
Right?
Bottles, the medicine bottles don't look nice. They're not
supposed to look nice.
Alcohol a lot out of meat, it is the worst thing for your body. All
right, it is the worst thing for your body.
You they drink it and they're in pain. And I'm thinking to myself,
why would you do this yourself?
Peer pressure, it bliss, whatever. So Allah has attached bad effects
to bad things
immediately, because if you if that bad effect wasn't there, and
you progress into something long term, then you you're totally
lost. So there's an immediate symptom to many, many, many, many
sins,
to avoid you.
Going deeper into that sin and then making that thing a complete,
it becomes like a cancer that takes over the whole body. And
there's no way out of it.
There's no way out of so that's the concept and the idea. But
Allah subhana wa Tada when he gives us a goal. He gives us a
sign that we're progressing that signs of arrival. That's why
Monica Zadie. He talks about there is a stage a state
of a category of odia called Wolsey Dune, they have arrived.
Where's he making that judgment from because they have revealed
the signs of arrival are upon them.
One of the greatest signs of this arrival is that a couple
Allah subhanaw taala describes it. In the Hadith of the announcement
of Willa, Willa is our goal. Our goal as individuals here, speaking
earlier, Allah.
The goal of when we give down with a goal is to bring people into
Islam. Just to believe in Allah Muhammad Rasul Allah. That's the
goal.
When we're most of them already, the goal is to have Taqwa to be
from us. Hubballi Amin, not as hard as Shimon, which is the major
deeds, we the obligations, we do them, the major sins, we avoid
them.
And as much as possible in private as well. But at least we have
enough shame, enough Taqwa to avoid doing them in public. Okay,
and then to do it in private now, takes a little bit more trouble.
And then once we've arrived at that level, and it's okay, it's
been five years I don't drink I don't I never skip prayers. What's
next is to be from a McConnell ravine, as Allah says is similar
to the walker, those were very near to Allah subhanaw taala. And
that's the path of we live.
In this hadith of Willa, ALLAH SubhanA wa Giada. He says, the
prophesy centum says, either a Habibollah who have done
if Allah loves, doesn't Allah love everybody? The answer is no. Allah
has mercy with everybody. And Allah has opened a path
for us to receive His love. So the divine love for everybody is
there. But we have to open that path and travel it. It's not, no
love is a one way street. Right? No, love is a one way street.
Like, I want to love all my kids. But they also have to reciprocate
for it. Now if they start doing everything, the opposite of what I
want. How can I love them anymore? At some point, I can't love you,
every single turn, you're going against me.
So you have to we have to do our part, to open the door and clear
the route and go claim that love. I mean, Amazon to deliver us a
package. But you got to go to your door, open the door, take the
package and open the back. Amazon can't do that for you. Right? They
want to make your life so easy. They'll bring you the box right to
your house, but you got to move to right. Same with divine love. So
what we say which is different from the Christians is that we say
that the divine love that Allah has mercy over all people.
He has Rama over all people. That's the big difference. He has
Rama for all people.
The fact that you're he invited you into existence, that you
are alive that you're breathing, thinking the sun is out for
everybody foods out further out there for everybody.
That aspect, but love we have to reciprocate so Allah does not love
just anybody
has to be a two way street. Then Allah subhanho wa Taala either
below I've done Ned Gibreel he calls Jibreel
Wirkkala in knee or hip bufala and for our Himba I love so and so. So
you know love him. That means transfer this person's MCOM in
your heart, from applicant
to accepted,
like on a desk, that's how it would be. But in the spiritual
realm, it's in the heart in his heart. Oh, God. Love him. He's not
just a movie anymore. He's Murad. He's not a seeker. He's wanted
he's accepted His love.
So my unity Jibreel 11 We early summer. Yeah, last summer in Allah
you're able to learn and bow. Oh people of the heavens.
Allah Hola. Hola, soy and soy. So you love him?
Favor Hey, boo. Hello summer. So all those in the heavens love him.
This is a great ceremony.
You may kick graduation from school. It's a big deal. This is
the ceremony.
Then Allah sama those angels of the heavens when they come down.
What is prophesy Samson thumbor You thou Allahu Allah Kaboul, the
earth, then Cabul acceptance is placed for him on the earth. What
does that mean? It means that pious Muslims they began they
begin to love him too.
This is called a cabal. What's an example of Cabal?
is not a member Bukhari Is there anyone in the OMA that
any reputable pious person scholar non scholar who does not have a
place in
As are remembered because
of all the names
it's impossible to who can compete
who could compete. Who has anything bad to say about Imam
Bukhari except the entire Ummah
surrounds him and expels him like you expel a piece of mucus out of
your mouth that's what they are
that I've seen anybody attack you members will call you then be
accepted in the any body of Muslim
practice. Anybody and any organization
show me one person who has aggression towards him admirable
quality.
said a word yet is suddenly like no problem accepted.
Okay
so that's where we're looking at here. l Kaboul is the greatest
sign
that someone covered by whom? Allah Allah, sunnah Salah Allison,
the scholars of the religion, and the pious people of the religion,
good. They love a person. Now at a small level, when there's
somebody, let's say in a family in a community, and the pious and
everybody just has good things to say about
that's a sign of Kabuto.
Then if they die, now, here's the problem with Kabuki
if you're still alive,
because to lose it, we lie up by definition can be something that
is lost because its establishment in the first place is money.
Right? It's establishment of Wilaya. For a person while he's
alive in the first place is London. It's possible that it can
be lost London means like it's speculative. It's based on our
understanding or view of things, our observation that can be lost,
and it has been lost by many people. There was a man in the
time of Sedna, Musa alayhis salam who turned against Sydenham was
Allah reveals the story in the Quran. And he dies a catfish.
So yeah, he was accepted by Satan was an all the Benissa eat at one
point. So that may have seemed like it's like it's based on our
observation. But as long as you're alive you can fall so that's why
the truest and the best and the most reliable sign of acceptance
with ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada is Kaboul of the Solahart and the
Sunnah of Islam because and this one is Islam.
after their death, it's stronger than before their death.
So after the death is more important, or at the moment of
death, since most likely most likely and Allah knows best people
can't take action while they're on their deathbed sickness.
Why does Allah subhanaw taala basically have people have
prolonged sicknesses so they don't mess up the scoreboard right? Just
stop it right here. No action. And Allah knows best but it's also
purification.
With that
with that, we will return to reading this book, which is the
opening of hearts we read from this every once in a while good
every once in a while to keep our hearts Fresh, fresh for elke
till we die we're going to be reading from this book.
But first we have to see about this murder that he'd talk to us
about.
But
where is it someone gave me the link Muslim a killed in Chicago
because I said there's no news.
There is this
Muslim, a Muslim woman Chicago kilts.
Do you see it right?
No, Reid said
I'm traveling to Chicago.
Okay.
All right.
Georgia, man.
All right. I mean, Georgia to Chicago is a long drive.
I don't see any I don't see anything here.
Okay, let's take out Chicago. My name is Sonia.
Sonia who?
Sonia
Well she's obviously a famous person because
she's all over the internet as some kind of
health something
I have what's up yeah, he sent me the link
all right we're looking at the story because today's
its Muslims in the news is our topic for today but I didn't see
any Muslims in the news there was no news so we're going to read
from the depth we're going to read from that but first we're going to
see the situation
you sent it
there supposedly situation about a murder
I got it
Chicago sometimes so I guess it's a big deal if it's in the Chicago
sometimes
Georgia man traveled to Chicago and fatally shot his ex wife this
is this is a personal beef it looks like all right, then killed
himself.
How to La Cocina de la la la la The this is like it's not like it
doesn't look like it's beef with Muslims. It looks like it's just
inter family their own their own issues, right. Is that what it is?
That's what it looks like to me. Let's see here. So a Georgia man
traveled to Chicago shot his ex wife
it's a different Sonia Khan from the health lady.
The health industry. Sonia Khan, there's melt multiple Sonia cons.
This is Sandia cons Fannia
as in 30th name, you know, that's like the female version of
Abubaker. You name Sandhya in order to only they have the
subcontinent for their love of Abu Bakar they've named They're the
only people who have named sunniest name, which is from the
Quran 30th name, second of two and the verse of the Quran second of
two in the cave 30th. Nene in Houma, LA. So to make the feminine
version, it's Sandhya. Okay, so it's a Sunni name that represents
the number of occurrences.
All right, so what happens here, this one, this
young lady, her ex husband
traveled from Georgia drove all the way um, you didn't think twice
you drove all that time? And clearly the melodica they, you
blocked them out that
he drove all the way from Atlanta to Illinois. So for those of you
in England, that's like from the southern tip of England
to the northern tip of England, and then probably back.
All right, achmad. Rahila. Hamid, his name is and his wife Sandhya.
Cron. They were going through a divorce. He was depressed and went
there to salvage his marriage. All right, so he went there not with
the intent of murder. He went there to save his marriage. Good
story so far. He's in love. What can you do?
Two of her friends though,
said that the divorce was already final.
And then when the police were called, and they entered, they
found gone unresponsive. And they heard a gunshot
from outside the door.
And they found her already full of blood.
This is more of a I mean, it's a bad story. Bad thing, but it's not
like Islamic related news. It's just a beef that happened between
two people.
Okay.
He had a nine millimeter Glock, and a suicide note. And he killed
himself. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Ahmed was taken to
the hospital and then he died.
Her death was a homicide and his was a suicide. Khan was a
photographer. She took pictures of weddings and of happy couples. And
he she had a professional website.
All right, as all photographers do, showing examples, I help
people fall in love with themselves. Well, that's not a
good thing but
and each other in front of the camera.
Fair enough.
I
I used to love travel so much that I was a flight attendant.
My favorite layover was Chicago. And who would have known I would
have moved there two years later, okay, this is just all her
personal stuff that's not really relevant to.
Alright grant, a friend of cons from high school he didn't want
his last name published said she was going to move back. Alright,
to start planning her next part of her life, photography career,
you're stepping into the next chapter of your life, and then you
left us
Alright, um, mean it's a bad story, but it's not exactly like
OMA news. It's just like news of a Muslim woman. Right. But since he
is, you know, one of our regulars, if she asked for it, then we'll
give it to her. And we gave it to her. So there you go. Heed?
We read it for you. Yeah, it is tragic. But it sounds like just
like, family beef. Not necessarily.
Not necessarily like in Islamic thing. Or Muslim related.
Someone said to me, the other day.
What do you call two vegans having an argument?
You know, this joke, right? What is it called? When two vegans have
an argument?
If you're gonna be right, and it's silly kids joke, you know, all
these intermediate school kids really excited about the joke.
All right, we read it. It's terrible. And, and guess what? I
read one of the worst.
Worse than this, Michigan family of four kids, husband and wife.
The guy
gambled
away the family fortune.
And he gamble. And to get it back, he only had one thing to put on
the line to show you how bad gambling is.
On the night before, it was like the night before.
Or he'd something like that.
And he's hanging out with his friends.
And the only thing that he could do to gain and pay off his
gambling debt, which was now in six figures was his house.
And a gambling debt. Now, you know that, in the gambling underworld.
It's always connected to some kind of gangs or mafiosos is the only
way to make you pay up.
He puts his house on the line. This is an Arab family in
Michigan, or maybe he was days I can't remember. Doesn't matter.
There in Michigan, though, is a couple years ago.
And he lost.
He lost the poker game. He lost his house.
He goes the next morning.
While I don't know what, while the kids are asleep, he puts a bullet
in everyone's head. And then he puts a bullet in his own head.
Five Muslims killed five people. At that point, it's just the human
side of things take over. And you just wonder. Gambling is just one
of the worst vices it destroys everybody.
rim lock ons is this remember? Why are we just discussing this? Just
wondering well, we aren't we were discussing this case of because it
Wednesdays we do Muslims in the news. And usually some OMA related
news. But nonetheless, like so as I said, we don't have any news
today. So we're going to read from the opening of hearts about the
sign of a good ending in life. But then it needs to know there is
this tragic thing that happened.
So we read that case, and that's why
that's why we ended up discussing murders within the family. Right?
And how,
you know, these these are tragedies, what can you do? But
gambling is always part of it. And
or gambling is whenever it comes, it's never good.
All right, let's start off now let's go back to readings.
And we start off with our sponsors a word from our sponsors.
And our first sponsor is Mecca books.com, two books.com
coupon code Safina you will not find this book on Microbox.
Unfortunately, he doesn't supply this book. Just look it up and
type in Lulu Press. You can get this book from Lulu Press. This is
a massive massive work massive massive work and the author of
this this work he didn't put his name here. Hear it so translated
in the in that page three
Maddie lock, Mandy lock. I love Matthew lock. Mandy lock is a
brother that he's an international brother. He's a he's Russian by
ethnicity grew up in Britain, I think partly in Canada, spent some
time in America is international guy and his his knowledge
mashallah he's upon, you know like where there's forks in the road,
he's like on the right track, like all the time Masha Allah, who may
Allah preserve Him and accept Him. Alright, Mandy Locke.
And when he was doing this,
it happened after the death of his mother in law. And again, I, as I
said, because we're having this in our community
that someone's dying,
hospice care, hospice care means that doctors have said, plus
nothing we can do, we just put them in a room, give them pain
medications, and let them just die. That's what hospice cares.
There's a feeling around that time, when a righteous person is
going to die, there's always a feeling
of like, you just feel that there's a little bit of a window,
opening up into the afterlife. And you're seeing someone that you
know, you walked around with, right?
And a feeling that they're leaving this boat and go into that other
boat.
He's he experienced the same thing with his mother in law, and was an
older woman in England. And she was towards the end of her life.
And then when she died, it was like, again, a like a blessed,
almost like a blessed feeling there. And so he was inspired
to write something for his family, for his sisters in law, his
brother in law,
whatever, his family, his wife, and so we came upon this book. All
right, the opening of hearts.
Of course, it was an Arabic,
huge book. Let me look, just look at his, like 500 pages. And he
said, You know what I'm going to try, I'm gonna translate this.
And he starts translating it, but it's so huge. And he says himself,
well, if I translate to head eats two entries, two pages a day, two
pages a day. I'll finish it within a year.
And of course, you know, when you ever do this, and the first month,
it's wonderful. But then you trail off, something happens in life,
like Ramadan, for example, a disrupter. Not in a bad way. It's
it's disruptive. Or like you get the flu, it disrupts all your
schedules, right.
I always tell him, I actually feel that
he met an angel one day, because he was at a bookstore one time.
And he had moved, I think, to some other country, and not brought his
book with him, the Arabic, so he didn't have anything to he
couldn't translate any more, because he had moved and he left
his books over there in another country.
So he's at a bookstore one time, and this bookstore has all sorts
of wonderful books. And he asked the the attendant there, the guy
who was working at the bookstore is like, do you have this book,
and Shafi FIP? And it's Oh, yeah, we have this, here it is. Then he
turns around, and he finds a man saying,
Well, no, the answer has to do with a complete stranger.
saying to him, Well, what about the opening of hearts? This this
book is called shot has to do with or the appeasement of hearts
solace to the heart of someone who lost a loved one.
Mother unsure has to do this complete stranger says to him.
And then as is really the sign that of an otherworldly
experience, he turned around and without thinking just said to the
attendant, without thinking that this person does not know me, does
not know I was working on this book. I've never seen this person
before. Right? But when you have those otherworldly experiences,
you just absorb it, and you move on. And then afterwards, you
realize, wait a second, who was that? How did that happen?
That's melodica. So he said to the attendant, Oh, do you have the
bookstore has to do it? And he says, yes. Okay. And he gives them
the book, and he buys the book, and he starts his transitioning,
and then afterwards, he's like, wait a second, who was that
person?
That's an amazing, you know, spiritual opening. And when you
have those things connected to your works, and to your life, it
gives, you know, such a feeling of meaningfulness.
So let's take a look at the sign of a good end autonomy the said on
the authority of Ennis that the messenger of allah sallallahu
alayhi wa salam said, if Allah wants goodness for a slave, he
uses him.
That's wonderful. What Allah wa
Once
goodness for somebody, he employs him in the work of good deeds, do
good deeds, right?
Do good things
so that you rack up good deeds and you earn the Rama of Allah
subhanaw taala you are in the forgiveness, a scholar, a group of
scholars, it is said a group of scholars came on the day of
judgment.
Okay.
group of scholars came on the day, their deeds were mixed.
And they looked at each other. This is this is like
one of the stories told by some of the earlier it's not a hadith.
They look at each other and they said,
What do you think Allah is going to do with us? says I don't know.
I mean, we we taught our whole lives but we also had an ego. And
we made a lot of mistakes. We did a lot of sins.
So we have to ask Allah to accept our good deeds are teaching people
we teach people FIP to tweet, Hadith, hymns of Quran all these
things our whole lives, and we hope Allah forgives our sins.
They wait on the RF, the area where deeds are 5050 It's called
the odd off. On the IRA. If you look right, you see people go into
paradise, you look left, you see people falling into the abyss of
*.
And they're so you're nervous and hopeful at the same time, you
don't know where you're going.
Until finally they hear a voice which says
if I wanted to punish you, I would not have let you learn my
religion. Subhanallah go for you are all forgiven.
So it's like for the scholars who did the best of deeds, but they
still had egos. And their egos made them commit since.
I mean, some sometimes scholars, they don't always behave well in
their personal lives. Good. Should but they don't always do. So.
Another Hadith says.
If Allah loves us, He makes him needed by the people.
Some of these shoe like I remember
Kim Murad saying that he didn't know how have you ever matured had
dad? How does he live?
He doesn't know how he How does a human being live like this. He has
no private time at all. There's no such thing as private time.
He's needed and people are knocking on his door and his door
is basically almost open to everybody at all times. I think he
had his wife
and most of the wives of schewe. They're also involved. They're the
mediators, they're the middleman.
They're the intermediaries with the women. Okay.
So they're always receiving the questions of the women then coming
to the husband in the same way that say that Aisha she used to
bring a woman would come. And she used to bring the question to the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam because the prophets not going to
be alone with the woman in the room. That's the role of the wives
of those legends.
If you look at the life of most youth, you just wonder how they
survive. They have zero downtime, zero private time.
Even when they have downtime in the relaxing, all the movies want
to relax around them to like I remember in tidying Yemen, there
was a pool house. There was a house with a kitchen and some
bathrooms, and like the courtyard, a covered courtyard and a swimming
pool.
And at nighttime, they used to open it up and people used to go
swimming and sometimes it's you would go there to unwind.
But even their their shoe.
So people are still asking them questions. People are bringing out
food. And one time it was like a party. Imagine having a pool party
with a chef. That's what it was like, like we were all swimming.
And the shoe sitting at the there's like
outdoor area, but it's covered. And they were sitting there and
food was brought out and we went late into the night.
That's how the sheep like they aren't even when they unwind.
They're there people are milking them for knowledge, milking them
for drop.
So what Allah loves a person he makes them needed,
makes them needed. It's proud a lot of them.
If we're not useful to the society, we should worry.
And some people are not useful to the society.
In their own mind, in their own mind, they're not useful but they
are *. You may be useful and you may spend your entire life
serving a disabled child
and you don't know
you're absorbing Bella that would have been went to others.
People
because you're the example.
You're the example of somebody, and we know some people
that their entire life is consumed, taking care of one or
two kids that have various disabilities, physical or mental.
So you have that person has taken the role, and has putting up a
position that is basically announcing to the world say and
hamdulillah said, hamdullah for your lives, I've absorbed it.
Gaza, the people of Gaza, are they have no use to the OMA.
Now you can argue, and you will be correct in saying the What have
the people of Gaza put out, but that's such a shallow view.
Because what they've put out is that they make the entire OMA say,
Alhamdulillah, Allah has chosen them
to take on that bully, and to bear the brunt of that bully. Allah has
chosen them for that they're absorbing that. So you are either
with Bella, you're in the world of Bella. You're absorbing
tribulations
so that the rest of us can say, wow, look at this blessing that we
have
and make do out for you. And you're elevated for fulfilling
that role in the society in the community. Like the disabled
person. Every semester, there's someone disabled, someone with a
arm that doesn't work, a spine, spinal cord that was cut and they
have to use a wheelchair. They're serving the position of reminding,
Allah has chosen them through you, I will remind everyone of the
blessing that they have.
So nobody complaints and they're absorbing that but that is their
commitment to the OMA. That is a massive commitment to the OMA. So
don't ever ask or what am I doing.
There's not only one way to be
to be with Allah subhana wa Tada there's not only one course of
action.
If a person has chocolate in their Eva dots, and they're up to either
Allah Tada will open away from them. Well, an Indiana homeschool
learner will show you your path. So here we have other people
that Allah has made them healthy.
Alright, if Allah makes you healthy, then you better be in the
kedma
I'll tell you what you don't want to be. You don't want to be
somebody Allah has given you health and wealth and time and
everything. And you give a little bit of Kidman to the ummah. And
then you just spend the time enjoying go on vacation, let's
build the house. Let's do this. Let's buy that let's just
I would say
this is not the right way. Spend your Allah says in the Quran with
deadly female attack Allah who Donald aka what I tend to not see
becoming a dunya with all your energy, go into the service, Be of
service what however you can, Allah will open away you keep
pecking and Allah will open the way for you. Find a way
and Allah will open the way for you. But don't forget a little bit
of dunya for yourself. Don't forget a little bit. You know what
some of the LDS said, when they were asked, What does it mean?
Don't forget your portion of the dunya. He said, Your Kevin rep.
Your burial rep that's the only thing you take with you. Other
people said it's one hour at night, every night with your wife
and your kids.
Bring out the food bring out the leftovers. And we sit around in
the old days here in America sit around the fire, probably
everywhere in the world. Today sit around the living room for an
evening to touch base with your family. Right? It's wahala what I
tend to see but coming to dunya Allah says As for you don't just
don't forget about it. Muhammad zany
the way that we operate on this live stream. Right when I finished
giving this presentation or our segment, we open up for q&a and
put your question right here in the live stream. You can go to
YouTube do it there at Safina society or do it here and I will
answer the question in the lights Allah if I if I know the answer.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said If Allah loves the
ABD, he gives them to Philip to do good deeds before he dies.
So you look at Al Kadima
and hurt him hospital Katima having a good end.
That's the most important thing. Now, the one who lives with a
checkered past and the one who has a clean past, they're not going to
be the same. But that doesn't mean that Allah cannot forgive the
person with a checkered past.
Someone asked me a question.
And if you ask a question about the dean, I'm gonna answer you.
That doesn't mean I like you or I don't like you. Okay, but I'm
gonna
Just tell you what the Dean says, because it's not my religion,
right? I can't, I can't make stuff up. They asked me a woman doesn't
wear hijab. What's the ruling? Said? Kabira.
So the person said, Are you telling me I'm sinful?
said, Yes. I'm telling you, that's the ruling.
Right? Well, how do I how do you say that to people? Like when you
deal with all the time? I don't just befriend people because
like other my other friends from the guys in the local community.
Oh, so I just I from McDonald's is haram. See? Yes, that means not
the beer
isn't, but we've been hanging out forever. I was like, I don't go
and asking people what they do. If they're nice to me. And we're in
the local community together, we hang out.
And someone says, oh, you told them that is haram? Aren't you
friends? Friends with the guy, right? It's not my religion. If,
if a lawyer asked me something, if I asked my lawyer, Hey, can I not
pay taxes this year? He's gonna say no, I don't make up the rules
of the deen. There are a lot of people that I like, and they do a
lot of haram things.
Has nothing to do with like or not like, has nothing to do with good
person or bad person. It has nothing to do with it. It's just
what The Book says. What the law says. That's it.
All right. So say, Well, is it Allah merciful, said, Yes, Allah
is merciful.
But are you don't also know also know that he's just so the person
who did things, right.
And the person who did something wrong,
there's going to be a difference, there will be a difference. Even
if Allah has mercy on both, there will be a difference, there has to
be a difference.
So but what's most important, is to rectify yourself before your
death. And here's the beauty of it. You don't know when you're
going to die. Here we have someone in our local community
in their 40s, and they're on their way out.
How many of the last 10 geneticists we have? I bet you at
least one of them is under the age of 40, under the age of 50, so you
don't know so you better act quick. You better act quick and
get things right quick, so that you can be from those people who
have more right to Allah's mercy, or have or I should say, nobody
has a right to Allah's mercy, but should have positioned himself
better to receive the Divine Mercy. We don't cut corners in the
law.
You know what people say about us? Right? You probably may not know
this, some of these circles. But we have some Luke warmers in the
community.
Luke warmer is someone they love the dean, what they truly love the
dean, but they also they have habits, that bad habits. And like
at certain occasions, they may behave badly, like from an Islamic
perspective. And people from the more stricter communities, they
said, that's because you are too lenient. Yours just all about
spirituality, you too lenient, right. My response is, if someone
comes us to our masjid, with a warm spirit, a good spirit, a good
heart, I'm never going to make them feel bad about anything,
while at the same time, never shortchanging them, and not
telling them the truth. But I'm not going to isolate them. How do
people change? They change slowly, like the night comes day slowly.
So yeah, we tolerate that. And we get accused all the time. Oh,
there we go. Those are the mbsc. Guys, those are the people who are
hanging out. Right. And yeah, they take stuff inside the classes. And
yet there they are doing this, that and the other. Oh, and
there's that sister blah, blah, blah.
And they, but I welcome those who come with a sincere intention, and
they need time to change. Yet at the same time, I cannot
shortchange them and tell them what's Haram is halal and vice
versa. And something's not sinful. I can't do that. That would be
cheating them. Right? So can't cheat them. So rectify yourselves
before you die. Every one of us has got to do this. Because if you
do that is one of the best signs. If you can rectify yourself, don't
cut corners in the sacred law.
Forget culture, I don't care about culture. Culture is not going to
save me on the day of judgment. My grandmother though, doesn't like
me to do this. My mom doesn't like me to do this. My dad doesn't like
me to do this. Go ask your dad to save you on the Day of Judgment.
He can't even save himself.
Some people are stronger than others. They just do it and that's
it and others. They worry well, what's my mom gonna say? What's my
husband gonna say?
What's my wife gonna say? So I tell those people eventually every
once in a while you gotta say listen, strengthen yourself up
so that you could be asleep with a sound mind
don't cut corners in the sacred law.
So, some people, they have that checkered background, and maybe
for the last 20 years of their lives, they're upright, they wipe
away all their sins in the law, other people, only one year before
their life. And some people literally, like, weeks and months,
and days before their death,
they rectify themselves.
And that is a good sign. But you don't want to bank on that.
All right, you don't want to bank on that, because you don't know
when you're gonna die. And just because yes, they had a good
ending, does not mean
does not mean that they won't have some hardship in the grave, some
hardship at the moment of death, hardship in the resurrection, and
then they get the mercy.
You don't want to go that route. You want ease
from the moment you die.
I feel like another part, yeah, come close to another part of this
hadith, where it says like Allah, Allah loves us, and gives him the
trophy to do good deeds. There's like so many dimensions to that
like that. Allah is the one who's giving you the ability to do good
things, and we have no
credit for what we do. So there's a lot of and for people, it's one
thing for people at the end of their life, to be thankful to
Allah and not to be self righteous about their good deeds, but also
for young people who don't have the Tofik to do all the good
deeds, maybe they can't have a high station, it's also about the
color of Allah.
We don't do anything from ourselves. It is Allah who
inspires in action. And all we have as heavy volume to teach us
is the ability to put yourself in a position to be used. And how
make yourself malleable.
Okay, you can't use a tool that stubborn. I can't use an employee
who's stubborn,
be malleable? How do I be malleable, study?
Study FIP and follow it. And I'll tell you, you'll get such a
feeling of sweetness, you become an addict. I'll tell you how this
works. And I remember this Subhanallah them from when I was
like 1314. And that's why it's always good to teach people the
deen when they're young. Because there's nothing to sacrifice.
There's very little to sacrifice when you're young. So I remember
loving certain things, then getting the shock of my life.
Learning is haram.
Then you go through like the phases denial, not always an
extremist can't be haram.
But your mind sees the evidence in it and you can't sleep at night
comfortably. Because you know, the evidence is right. You know, it's
but your neffs is in a rejection.
You get through that rejection phase, that denial phase. And then
as you grow older, you get better, right? Because you now search for
other evidences back in the old days. If someone showed you a book
and say, here's the here's the ruling. You can't go to Google,
there was no Google to go find a federal for yourself and find
another ruling. And all the validity say this right? Or
got it that would have been said that there was none of that.
There's like two books in the whole town on Islam. So that was
it. So it was easy.
You get through that denial phase.
Then you hit a procrastination phase. Okay, fine. I admit, I put
up the white flag, I'm wrong. It's haram, I get it.
I'll do it. But not know.
When this the year ends, and I'm out of school, then I'll do it.
When I'm home all alone, I don't have to go to my friends. Right,
then I'll do it. So you get into the practice procrastination
phase. But then finally,
usually a bad thing happens that lowers your ego a little bit,
or forces you to make a lot of a blood drop. When your ego goes
down and your DUA goes up, you're stronger and your Eman is
stronger. you view the world in a different way. And you said you're
more submissive to the sacred law. Then you say alright, you know
what? I'm gonna muster it up. And I'm really bothered by this
cognitive dissonance inside myself. I'm doing this thing yet I
know for sure It's haram. Now I'm ready.
And you just break through and you do it. When you break through and
you do it. It seems it's like pulling cotton out of cotton, but
it's not fun.
But after you do it,
there is such a Sakina that comes down on you.
And it says if a huge burden is lifted off of you and you realize
that's the Sakina of Allah that's his reward. Right then and there
he rewarded you right
On the spot, the moment you don't you fix yourself.
And then you put two and two together. Like, oh my gosh, this
feeling of just being at peace to be like a raging sea to now flat
lake a flat ocean, right? You're like, wait a second, that felt
really good.
Hey, what else is haram? So I could do that again. I want to do
it again. Isn't that the feeling? It's like and some people
when I went through that phase, and a lot of people can go through
this, and a lot of people can recognize this. You go into the
books of law and you want to repeat it. I want another
challenge. What's the next challenge? So you start looking up
in these books of FIP and Hadith and back in the den, we didn't
know anything. So just look up Hadith, right? What else is haram?
Give me something haram. I want to pluck that weed to pluck weeds out
of out of your backyard, your lot your your your patio, and the
patio looks so good afterwards. And then you become obsessed with
plucking the weeds to become obsessed. Then you learn
obligations.
And you as Oh, this is fun. I remember,
we prayed so bad and our family.
We pray when you wake up if you have an exam, right? The idea that
you have to get up at five in the morning. It was new.
And like in denial for a long time.
I know that this was for the old days only pray French and now we
pray when you wake up
when we came around to the fact that no we're actually obsolete.
So we went through denial and procrastination
actually had to get up for fetch.
And then we did we're like, oh my gosh, I felt so good. It's the law
of Allah Tada coming down on your hearts Sakina coming down on your
heart. So what do you do next? What else is fun? What else is
obligatory? And you move you start mowing it down. You start mowing
down these sins and mowing down like a pitcher who's in a groove.
Right? He gets that first strike out. Boom, that's it. He's gonna
get 10 strikeouts in a row.
Okay, so how Subhan Allah.
So then you become Subhanallah you you start searching for
challenges, spiritual challenges, anything to overcome my ego.
So that's where you want to have a good ending to your life.
And you want to have that good ending, but you want it earlier.
You don't want to wait until right before you die. That's not That's
not good.
When Allah loves her appt he sweetens him, how does he sweeten
him? He gives him Sophia to do good deeds, okay.
In a way that make his neighbors happy with him. Oh, this is
beautiful.
So there are people who do good deeds. But they're not loved.
Right? They're not loved. They're not sweet. They're not nice.
They're mean.
That means that person is still on their way. Right? They're still
cooking. They're not done yet. So if ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada loves her
out. This is narrated by Muhammad, he makes the people around him.
Love him, even if he's way more religious than everybody else. And
you but he never makes you feel bad. And that's one of the big
things that I've been taught many, many times.
You have taqwa and do your thing and follow every sunnah, and speak
the truth. But don't dare make another Muslim feel less than
don't ever make him another muscle feel that they're outsiders,
outside as to what Allah is available for everybody. Right?
Don't ever make a Muslim feel that you're special to them, in the
sense that
you're someone special and unique. And there are someone, some nobody
know, there's a million ways to draw near to Allah to Allah.
It's very, very important.
And so the idea that his neighbors and his family are pleased with
it.
That means he's done it. He's doing it right. He's doing it and
he's maintaining his humility.
And if you want to know the reality of humility,
it's that you don't become humble. You are by nature. lowly, right?
The humble person is not achieving anything except discovering and
acting according to his actual reality.
Any one of us is dispensable.
And Islam will move on. Life will move on. Your wife will move on.
Your kids will move on. Everyone will move on. Right. How many
people their parents died? They moved on. You think you're
indispensable? No, you can be backspace you can be removed,
deleted. Everyone will move on. Okay.
and maybe even better than when they had you. So that is that's
not an insult. That's the Haqiqa of things. That's the reality. So
a humble person is doing nothing. Except living according to actual
reality.
Everyone could move on without me.
Right? The people who depend on me for everything, they can move on
without me, Allah will provide from them with someone else, and
maybe even better.
So with that reality because you have to be humble.
It'd be dunya narrates on the authority of a Seder. Ishwara the
Allahu anha
to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam. When Allah wants good
for a slave,
he sends an angel to him a year before his death, who guides him,
gives him success.
In fulfilling Allah's Will, meaning the shittier
until he dies as one of the best people of his time.
Then the people say, he died upon the best of deeds.
when death approaches and he sees what has been prepared for him,
his soul starts to be summoned from its eagerness to depart. This
is him loving to meet Allah and Allah loving to meet him. If Allah
See, that's how it is, that before their death, that Allah to Allah
starts showing him all right, you're going to do this, you're
going to do this, you're going to do these amazing things. Then
shortly before their death, Allah starts to show them their rewards
in the afterlife. So they start losing the attachment to this
life.
Right?
You ever wonder why the dead don't come to us in our dreams and don't
visit us and some people say, Oh, I saw this dead person. I haven't
seen my father died, but he never comes to me in a dream.
probably seeing things that are keeping him busy.
And not only keeping him busy, from coming us to back to the
dunya into people's dreams, but also so reassuring that he's no
longer worried about you.
This is one of the NEM that when people go to the bizarre and the
other worlds there, they no longer worry. Allah cofund la him
Wollombi has known that when they see Allah is Rama.
They don't worry, you left an orphan in the dunya. But you see
Allah's Rama?
I have no worries about he'll be fine.
He'll be fine. So he doesn't need to come back like some usually
people who pass away. Immediately they come and give some
reassurance to their loved ones in a vision. But that's it. That's
enough. Hello, that's reassurance for you. But after that, I'm not
worried about you. Allah is Rama is so vast.
So they lose attachment to this head to dunya through displacement
and seeing all the great rewards and all the great Rama and they
realized that ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada is Rama and muhabba. As one
person said on the strip, Edward ood
which means loving, subtly loving, it's the most intimate love. So
then what where's the punishment? That's what I said. The punishment
is attached to bad deeds, so you don't do them.
Good. That's what it means. That's why there's punishment. But other
than that, the nature of Allah subhanaw taala with his a bed is
in suits. In fact, Ramona Rahim hamdulillah Bellami Rahmani Raheem
again, mentioned,
but if somebody has an ill will, if Allah
wills something else, and this person does not love to meet
Allah, then Allah allows a devil
to join him in the last period of his life, and lead him to worse
and worse and worse and worse deeds, until he dies is one of the
worst people of his time. And the people say he was the worst and
Hamdulillah that his oppression is over with his death, and they
start hating to meet him as he hates to meet Allah, that person
hated to meet Allah. So Allah made all the other people hate him.
Okay, the other people are the people's opinion about you is
sometimes a reflection of Allah's opinion and Senator NESEA clamor
Huck, which is the pen the tongues of people are sometimes depends of
the truth.
No, that the soul comes out when the angel of death summons it, and
it has the same kind of summoning that one uses to call a snake out
of its lair. The exiting of the two bodies is the same once the
call has been made. As for the believer, he summons his soul to
come out as the meaning of to who to who.
It's to force one's vomiting to come out. As for the display
lever he's clinging to his soul and it's called Tibetan law. Okay,
which is to return what is in your mouth back into the body. Okay, so
he's trying to keep his soul here and the monastic are trying to
pull it out. One of the scholars said the reasons that would
necessitate an evil End are for they have been neglectful about
their salah they drink calmer they have vocal well again and they
harmed the Muslims. These are four
these are four sources of Su Alka tema having a bad and and I'm
telling you
one of the worst is cutting off the OMA. That means thinking
you're better than everybody else, and ignoring the Muslims and
having no concern for them. Okay.
So
let's stop here and take our q&a. What do we have here? We got
remember, are not scrolling up. So put your questions from now and if
you put it already, then put it again.
Sehgal, Ibrahim says I have free time. And I really want to use
this time to learn about the dean. Where do I start?
Arc view.org. And by the way, we are rebuilding the entire arc view
site. It's going to be so easy to use. But for now go to our
temporary site. Arc view.org classes are alive. There's classes
for high schoolers, middle schoolers, and adults. Sehgal
Ibrahim, if you sign up for arcview.org Then Saturday morning,
there's Tajweed with North Saunders Tuesday, there's FIP and
tafsir.
Good. I was in this morning, I was sitting here shaking with autarky
because yeah, it's a kids class, but I was just disguised. Yeah, it
was really so really good. It's a great class Murad. Oh, man is our
is our PETA teacher. And subhanAllah. He's, he's really
good. He's really thorough, and he knows his stuff. Sage says, or
Sega says, I start everything and stop the next week. I asked a lot
to keep me consistent. But I think Allah wants me to do my part and
show him I really want to learn this dnn teach. I mean, I always
think that a person should go to their local shield if they have
one. But so many people in the world don't. So you have to have
an online community. So this is our online Holika here. And then
through ArcView, we have WhatsApp groups.
And that's how we're trying to encourage people to, to connect
online and have some community online. Okay.
Are you available able to build an app for ArcView?
Well, I believe there is an app, but not for iPhone. And the app
would be the teachable app. And if I'm not mistaken, because
teachable is the repository of the classes.
Good
rimless, part of our focus group that we're going to perfect, we're
really gonna work hard on making this system as easy as possible
for people to join. They could see all the classes, and they could
take what they want from the pre recorded classes. And then they
could take the live classes, we always have live classes, and we
have pre recorded classes on arc view. And the idea the goal behind
arc view, is exactly what just happened, that I want to be able
to go out talk to the Muslims, and someone says, Hey, we're gonna
learn to tweet, boom.
arcview.org $10 a month. It's basically free. And then the
ArcView plus, which has a scholarship track, slowly to put
people on a heavier scholarship level is 49 bucks a month. But
again, this summer is the summer of complete rebrand, rebuilding
and revamping the entire arc view, a platform and it's going to be
just so much better. Inshallah Tada with your daughter, we need
your DUA, or our philosophy of victory in Islam is that it's by
method. It's by Sakina. It's by a bad that's the Muslims philosophy.
A victory in this life is a burdah. First Sakina comes from
Allah, then it inspires you to the right actions. So you have to take
the actions after some people say, Oh, you're just doing a better and
now we need to act. It's both. You can't just do one. Okay? It's you
have to have both. You guys are inspired to do the wrong actions.
You're inspired by bliss. Some of these Muslim activists, like when
I look at it, how is this Islamic
How was it Islamic to do something against the deen. And you're
saying Muslim activism. So you're inspired by the wrong source. So
we need to purify our hearts bring down that Sakina and that new
and then take action. And activism is two things. It's
relief,
providing relief to the hungry to the poor. But then there's
advocacy, fighting for the oppressed.
I don't know how but we need to get to that element of fighting
for the oppressed. I don't know how, I don't know, you know, how
we what we might do is just create maybe one day down the line, we
create a fund.
And then people can apply, like the cases, legal cases. Right.
And then we could we could get lawyers to support them.
Right? Something like that. Because I don't know, I don't know
how, how to go into the advocacy route.
Certain says, I have Muslim friends. And every time we hang
out, we talked about other people. And I ended up saying things I
don't like, do I cut off those friends because I don't want to
become come off as if I'm better. It's not that you're better.
It's that you want to do something better.
We don't know about ourselves, right? But Allah knows best about
other people and us. So you know, the idea of don't judge don't
judge is about don't judge the soul of another person. Because
you don't know how they're gonna die. They may die upon Toba. So
don't go there. You don't know what phase they're in in life. But
as for the act that he's doing right now, I can judge that. Of
course I can. I can judge right now that the act that he did is
bad. A guy zips through a red light, right? He zips through a
red light.
And he almost causes an accident. I can judge that what he did was
illegal. But I can't judge why he did it. Maybe he's
maybe he's got his wife in the car, and she's about to have a
baby, then I would laugh it off. Right? We'd all laugh it off.
And we'd rule for the guy.
Maybe he's running away from the cops, then that case we say he's a
criminal. Right? If he has done something, a crime. So that's
where we don't, we don't pass off a judgment on the heart of a
person, but we definitely pass the action. And we can say that, yes,
you should probably slowly without hurting their feelings move away
from such a group
and become friends with people who don't backbite
good. ramela says there's Muslim legal funds in America of America.
So you know what maybe we should do? If they're a good group, why
don't we reach out to them.
And in the same way that like, we're spot we're helping sponsor
Mecca books, or we're promoting Mecca books for knowledge.
We need a relief organization. And we need a legal fund organization
to highlight their cases. So that our action is not just for
ourselves.
When we promote for all of us to study and to do a better who's
benefiting ourselves,
we need to start benefiting others. So we need a relief
organization
to be tied with. And we need an advocacy group.
And there's definitely some active advocacy groups that we're not
going to go with.
If any one of these advocacy groups has like a whiff
of this progressive liberalism,
you're gonna make me vomit. It's going to be an injustice all over
here. Okay, because I can't stand these types of things. Like
there's that one Muslim advocacy group that just went way off the
rails in the last two years. That's why I'm saying some
activism is is inspired by the wrong source of inspiration must
be bliss, the inspiration.
Alright, absolves Khan says that there's a cage. So why do we need
to reinvent the wheel, we could just have an like official or semi
official
partnership with one of these groups, we highlight the cases
that they give us we develop a relationship with them. And we can
even fundraise for them.
All right.
But I'm telling you, the moment I see some kind of of that other
stuff. That's what just turns me off from that. So so we'll see. So
REM can you do? Can you get us a report on that? What are they all
about?
And if it's something that, you know, you know, how we operate,
right, and what we're allergic to?
I'm sorry, it's just an allergy. I have a severe allergy to liberals.
And you know what I noticed, by the way, a lot of our dua, the
people in Dawa and the Imams that are a little bit more sympathetic
to the left than the right. They're all southerners because
they've tasted the
vicious hatred of the right.
And we have the north.
We like loathe and despise these liberals, but we're like, I'm
almost like I have no emotions towards the right. We've never
tasted it. It's never been fought. We've never suffered from it.
Right
so
all right next
cage. Everyone is saying cage.
Alright, ta Hara says we should have a day for just q&a. Maybe
that's a good idea.
I'm not here 911 says Is it normal to feel deflated and empty being
away from the mosque and one's elderly parents once we become
more religious? Yes, it is. Anytime that you're far from ALLAH
SubhanA which either there will be a sign that Allah Tada gives you,
okay?
The sign will be different. Sometimes it's an emptiness. I met
a guy who says that when I'm far from Allah to Allah when I don't
remember Allah when I delay my salah when I delay my Eldad when I
haven't remembered Allah for a long time, I start to feel
paranoid that everyone hates me.
Allah and then as soon as I get back onto my wavelength in my a
Betta, I feel that everyone loves me. It's it's upon Allah, someone
says If Allah has given it to you right there.
What is the schedule for these classes? Monday through Thursday,
1:30pm shedule must return. But we really want to make it actual
130 It's just that we had this death. nothing we could do when we
have someone who's in the hospital, and it's just thrown
because there's stuff to do, right.
Thrown things off a little bit. But we really we stick to 130
Okay, 130 and then we go on Mondays is the long one.
Tuesdays, shorter. Thursdays, shorter Wednesday, we have the DUA
remember Wednesday between Bogota and us. It's a time of Da
No joke, to time, have serious a burden and drop and you may get a
sign of the acceptance of your DUA. Because that's what happened
to Javad and Abdullah when he saw the prophets of Allah when he was
done to make dua on Monday. And then Tuesday, no answer, no
answer, then Wednesday. And that dua was against it was to save
Medina from the siege of Quraysh. And the Arabs 10,000 soldiers
around the city of Medina. And then the wind came and blew them
away and ruin their tents and we get cold and rainy and terrible.
And they all left
jab at him. And Abdullah said, When the Prophet had made that
dua, that Allah showed him a sign of his acceptance and the prophets
face became happy and he knew his draft was accepted. And now it's
just waiting to see how it will be. How it will happen. So jabber
said I then started to make that dua. Okay. On when anytime that I
had a need, but Wednesday between Dora and us, and I would see the
sign of each other.
Is there a special reward in washing the deceased? Yes, and
that special reward is there's the uniqueness of the reward is a
greater reminder of death. That's the reward, a deeper reminder of
death. One day someone's going to be watching us.
All right, how do you influence parents?
We, according to Guzzardi, we don't enter into the business of
Dawa of forbidding wrongs to our parents unless it is in a very,
very, very, very, very gentle way.
Very gentle way.
So lots of the horror is with the print one of the there's two
prayers that can be delayed vor and Asia without sinfulness.
All right. So it's the Finnish society only for your community
physically. Our headquarters is in New Brunswick, New Jersey and
North Brunswick, the mosque is technically in North Brunswick.
NBRC New Brunswick Islamic Center is our physical headquarters.
That's our community. All right, I feel very nervous about the idea
of being no having no roots in a local community. So that's our
local community at Hamdulillah that we've had a wonderful
relationship for over 10 years now.
And may Allah try to keep it like that? And where I'm sitting now in
the studio is about three minute drive away from the mosque, in an
institution which is a soup kitchen, a studio and it is a man
had a man had being like a
That's what we're aiming for as a true Islamic College, which were
insha, Allah to Allah seeking to we just established it. It's not
something like big online and it's only on site classes.
Okay? Our online operation is this is the nothing but facts live
stream.
And then arc view, arc view.org is
it's under construction, but you can still sign up.
It's under construction this summer, you can still sign up. And
that's how we teach beginners and intermediate level classes. That's
our onsite learning operation. Nothing but facts is our public
Dawa Holika.
And then if you want to visit us, you can always come the public
Mosque, the or the masjid the community, Masjid is NBC. And then
this place has its own scheduled operations, time of opening and
closing. And always in the in the Islamic world. There has been the
masjid and then there's been the madrasa.
The Mother's Day used to be in the masjid but eventually they had to
move it out. And that's where Zoey as an Islamic college is started
up around the misogyny. Alright, so they don't have the burden of
having jamaa Tato. We're having the doors open all the time.
That's what this building is. So we're not burdened with all the
things that the masjid is burdened with. And we're allowed to do
things like keep the equipment up without having to break it down.
Because there's a lot of times where things like that, or that
it's a public place that gets stolen
and protected from getting stolen. So that's the operation that
you're watching right now. We'll take a few more questions before
we go into our da
Are you answerable? Responsible, says Frida con, if a member of the
family back bites, even when you remind them, they just can't
control what comes out of their mouth?
You ever wonder?
No Sehgal I said door and Aisha can be delayed without sinfulness
or Aisha up to midnight. That's it. But the hook, you can pray at
any time in in the door time without sinfulness. Okay?
You can delay the hook. And you can delay Sure, but up to the
middle of the night only.
But ever notice with some people they're out of control is one way
only they can be out of control. Right? The whole family accepts
their wild behavior. But nobody else can behave wildly towards
them. Ever notice that? So if it's an equal, why don't you be as wild
and telling them to stop backbiting? Like why is the
wildness only one way?
But if you can't, then you have to just move away from them in a way
that's that's not offensive to them.
And sometimes if it's offensive, then Tough luck because sometimes
sympathy has limits. And sometimes upsetness is justified or not
justified sometimes upsetness is not justified. Like you're not
you're not. This is not an
example you stop. You don't want to back by somebody and they say,
Oh, I'm offended, he's rude. You're offensive, you're offended.
This is not valid. Not all feelings are valid, right? Like I
always say like sympathy in the wrong place is just as bad as hard
heartedness in the wrong place. Right? roughness, and we all know
that being mean, and being a hater and all that stuff is bad.
Sympathy in the wrong place, is that you don't sympathize with a
bliss. You don't sympathize with a *. You don't simply
sympathize with a Nazi.
Does anybody sit here and say, You know what? The Nazi soldiers? I
don't know what they were going through. We don't know their
perspective. Okay.
*.
He didn't hurt anybody. He just has pictures of kids, babies. He
did not hurt anybody. Why don't you sympathize with them?
Answer the question. Is he hurting anybody? He gets a doll of a three
year olds four year old a doll. And he sodomized is the doll. Is
he hurting anybody?
Is there anyone who's doing anything without their consent? Go
sympathize with them that
sympathize with
so sympathy has limits. We don't sympathize. Your heart does not
should not soften.
to something that's disobedience of Allah. Simple as that. If it is
that's a misguided sympathy
is it true that Islam and Khilafah will return? Yes, in the end of
time. Quick order of events is that Allah will raise up in this
room at a time of complete total darkness and oppression.
And the men and the Muslims will follow that Imam and he will unify
the Muslims and they will become a force again. That Allah
Allah will allow the judge to come out and he will lower the
hypocrites out of the aroma of Islam. And he will rally the world
to fight a ghastly and a vicious battle against the Muslims in
which so many people will die.
And that Allah to Allah will bring down to the earth say Nisa, Maria,
and say now ESA will defeat this force of the Antichrist. That is
three stages, and then say now he's of Imodium will the Imam that
Maddie will die
as of and Maria will lead this OMA and spread Islam throughout the
world with his army? Okay, not through interfaith dialogue
with an army and the biggest battle will be where the demons
have taken such deep root and paganism has taken such deeper and
that's because what's in his mind? Because Watson watching and
Muslim and Adnan have questions What's the bit? What is the
question here for Muslim and Adnet? You know, I hate scrolling
up.
But someone is saying can you please look up? You found it girl
read you can read it for us. Is it true that slave girls were not
allowed to wear hijab and cover themselves like free woman? Is it
true that slave girls were not allowed to resemble free woman
allow them I can't I don't know about reading that. To be honest.
I heard it said several times. But I'm not sure that
it's exactly the way it was set a low
can someone ever become sinless? You can Allah to Allah can protect
you from sins. It's not that you are Masoom but you are my food.
Right in the same way. When you sleep at night, you're protected
from sins, you can't sin when you're asleep. If you're at Hajj,
most likely person will go through entire hedged without committing
sins, right, you're protected. The best that we can attain is
protection. But we'll never be Masoom the ability to commit sins.
Okay.
Mohamed says when I was in Cairo I was humbled how many cemeteries
there are
people just live next to the cemetery. Same thing I noticed in
Turkey right you walk in Turkey, there's like a bakery. There's a
shawarma shop and in the middle there's a grave right? And they
symbolize their graves that if it's a woman, there are flowers
that symbolizes how many children she had if it was a scholar
there's a turban on the grave like in cement
Yeah, like like when they make the grave whatever it is marble,
concrete whatever it is, they make a sculpture of a turban.
I once saw a bank see writing by the cemetery, which it is which is
them who are dead. Are you living to die?
Are you talking about Banksy, the artist? Who makes those little
drawings with the read?
Can a person have Kaboul acceptance with Allah but not the
people?
He will not be accepted by sinners and those who are astray.
Okay, and maybe later if people learn his story, then they can
accept him and they will love him.
My dad obviously not to this extent, but he said like it would
take a long time for people to pray his books to a mom and her
dad said that about his books that they will spread in the home after
300 years. And they did.
And at the time,
scholars would look at the moment had dad's books and say this is
just a summary of what we all know. But he said there will come
a day when that's what the people need on this trip
All right, let's go to by the way, don't forget to subscribe to this

backslash Safina society.
Does Allah strengthen believers who are going through extreme
hardship with good dreams? Yes. And also
with with a desire to do a bad is a way to strengthen you
can we have sessions on legal matters? Do you mean like thick to
Allah? Why not?
Sophia says why don't you establish a worth? Yeah, that's a
good idea. We already have Safina foundation. So we need to
establish it as a formalized walk that people can put like for their
wills. Right? You can put one six or 1/3 of your will to go
To this endowment that's all possible
are good deeds accepted when you're not praying on 100% Of
course, everything is accepted. When a woman is on hide, there's
no change at all except she doesn't have to make the law
top three Arabic Tafseer books burger we go to B. And then the
next one it's up for grabs.
To simple my opinion, there's not enough meat on the on the bone
by the way, are to be then I would go to either necessity, which is a
it's it is reasonably length. But if you want to really dig deep
dive, it's Rosie. Rosie is the deep dive
haven't she says, Hola. Hola. I live in a villa. And I heard if is
it not? Well, Willa is nearness to Allah if is a description of the
type of knowledge he has. And I believe he has understood how
Allah works in his creation. That's the difference. Okay, how
Allah works
in his creation, so to the one we say I had, if Billa we're not
describing a spiritual state, we're describing his knowledge.
Okay, he has a knowledge of how Allah operates in his creation,
and Allah operates in his creation, by slowly bringing the
night into the day things like that and you start to see it. You
start seeing something in your life creeping in so slowly that
it's becoming part of your consciousness without you even
realizing it. That's one of the signs of Allah's work, that Allah
is doing something so slowly it comes in to your life
and without realizing it's part of your life, it's part of the fabric
of your life
came in
okay, we answered that question on the tough seat I hope that's
beneficial but but they're they're all available on PDF that's why I
love iPad because you can get them on but iPad I'm serious. I'm so
upset with what they've done. They took all my downloads for iBooks
you can't have it on your machine anymore. It has to be on the cloud
that really bugged me
Yeah
how do you avoid feeling disheartened that you keep
failing?
As long as
you're in the game still you're trying then you haven't failed?
You failed only when you give up
when you give up you Phil
What do you mean don't compare Muslim with a Kaffir says has
Ibrahim it is forbidden for us to make certain comparisons. You
can't say for example, like this Muslim Tyrant is like frown,
because he's not the Muslim tyrant so believes that Allah and His
messenger for Allen was a Catholic. So we're by law, we're
not allowed to make comparisons between Muslim and a Catholic. So
you have to make that clause if you're going to talk about two
different things related to them.
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam gulped milk, but he sipped
everything else. What about other drinks like milk shakes or sour
milk? If I believe that we should keep it to milk only because milk
is an exception. Exception to the rule. Now Prince Matthew, listen
to this principle very closely.
We don't make an allergy by exceptions. So if this default,
the rule is sipping, but gulping is the exception, then it's that's
it milk only. So if it's a milkshake, or milky drink sips, we
don't make an allergy to exceptions. That's why we don't
medicate meant that we don't make an analogy to the cuff. Because
it's an exception. You have to wash your feet exception quoth we
don't mattock does not make an allergy by exceptions. Sheffy
does. And therefore, anything that is waterproof, you can wipe over.
So the Shafia are sort of lucky about this some sort of jealous
that they
that they they can wipe over what's called hydro skins, and
their wetsuit socks, right? They can wipe over them. Sophia, where
is your question? I didn't see it.
But it's Sofia's question.
Is there a special reward for Washington deceased? Yeah, we
answered this. And I said that. Yes, the special reward is a
nearness to the experience of death. Vicodin Mote is heavier.
That's your reward when you wash the debt. So it is 100%. We did
answer that in the back. I would never ignore Sofia's question. So
if he was one of the regulars, the one that is sick and now like
very, very
sick. She's one of the local regulars. Like one of the people
that never misses a Holika and if they can't they ask for the link
spot a lot. They're regulars
How do you help addiction for *?
Nothing and that's a sin has seeped so deep in the hearts of
its immovable. I would advise those people to focus on their
belief, the belief that Allah says nothing is immovable. Shaitan for
the * addiction, drug addiction, heroin, addiction, all
those.
The issue is that bliss wants you to think that even Allah cannot
change you. That's the ultimate goal of bliss. Trust me on this.
When it comes to addiction. This is something a lesson I learned
regarding the attribute of Allah Quadra. Okay,
on Allah has Quadra many people, they believe Allah exists. They
believe he has knowledge, but because of one addiction, they
start not believing
that Allah can do something. And I remember a brother. He sat there
crying in front of me late at night. This is one of the lukewarm
brothers. I told you. There are some people lukewarm. And this is
one of the brothers who loves to come to the masjid but he also
does some wild things on the side.
It is part of people's growth. They don't go from midnight today.
Okay.
So he comes in he says, Listen, I want to talk to you is one of
these brothers that always talks
always comes to the master but he has his own side life. So I said,
Alright, let's meet we talk after Isha mastery. It's empty. It's
just me and him sitting in the in the atrium of the lobby of the
masjid on two chairs.
And he's crying. Okay, I can't stop it. I think it was marijuana
or something? I don't know. It doesn't matter because we didn't
say his name.
I asked one simple question.
Do you believe that Allah subhanaw taala has The Quadra the belief,
the ability, the power to remove this addiction from your life
permanently, before you walk out this door?
And he was shocked by the question
as an answer, what is that what his answer? He says to be
truthful? No. I said that's the problem right there. That's where
it least wants at least doesn't care about your weed or your
*.
This is the end game. And that is the precursor to getting you to
that false belief to destroy your theta in Allah's Quadra when that
pillar falls,
your Islam cannot survive. You will just have the image of Islam.
That's it. And you will just go become one of those people goes
from photo to photo and just weak and Islam. Because the pillar of
Allah's Quadra has been shot, killed, dead.
Destroyed. So I said to the brother, good, your number one job
is to remind yourself every single day, I don't know how you remind
yourself whatever you want, you have to, like brainwash yourself
almost, you have to program yourself.
By reminding yourself of the truth, there's bad programming,
and there's good programming,
depending on what you're programming and why. So you must
program yourself by nonstop daily reminders for days, weeks, months
and years. Allah has the power to end this right now. And your name
that you should be calling all the time when you're stuck in
addiction is Yeah, because of the emulator. And then every time that
you fall into the addiction you make Toba
without hesitation,
but you must always emphasize dig the seed into your heart. Yeah,
cada Yeah, Moqtada. Allah is Able, he's more powerful than this
addiction. And I'm telling you, the end goal of bliss, is to get
you not to believe in Allah squadra that he's not he's not
able. That's why I love to look at pictures of space, and animals and
insects, and the vastness of like vast scenes of nature. Because
it's a reminder, he's able to create all that you think he can't
solve this little problem right here. How big are you?
He's able to
Yeah, but he's also able to test you and make you wait
and test your persistence.
So you have to have that belief and I would say subhanallah
just emphasize your cards at em oxygen and mock that it is a
stronger,
stronger, it's like mokdad case capable of what you cannot
imagine.
Oh,
yeah, have she? What's your question there is sometimes
unfortunately to be honest with you.
It's not possible to see all the questions because by the time I
answered one question that thing scrolled up, so I missed your
question.
So what has happened? She's question I think I answered his
question.
Yeah, how did we answer your question? And I? Haven't I've been
ZIL hamachi, who is better in rank that odia? Or that offense? We
answered that question already.
Alright, we have to go to the draw. Now it's 330.
Got
came in.
I'm trying to use if you don't have a shift, you try to use
ArcView until you're able to get
a shake that's on site for you. Last question, what about wiping
on the face when you do do Ah?
Yes. And Timothy has a hadith on that. So that's why we were able
to do it. To me, he has a hadith on that.
What do we study? First off PETA and Tajweed? And then
what do you do on your birthday? If you're an adult? Nothing?
Okay.
So I tried to scroll to see him she's question I think I answered
it.
Maybe there's a delay in receiving the YouTube chat questions. Bushra
has a question. Like, we have advocates now, on the
we have chat advocates, Bushra Begam. Students, Benny is Robin,
it's mentioned the rule is from the affairs that Allah has
knowledge of, and we cannot have except a limited knowledge of why
is that one of the reasons is that the the, the rule is something we
cannot observe. We cannot rationalize. And Allah has only
told us a little bit about it.
That's why that's a Roman Emery Robbie. It also means that a rule
is something that Allah only will speak about it, and the Prophet
will only be allowed to speak on certain aspects of it. And Allah
knows best about the meaning of that, that. But the rule is a vast
and expansive and powerful thing that has been packed into the
small body. And the brain offers you a filter, it filters, okay,
and the eyes and the ears, they provide a filter so that you can
only see this world,
you cannot go look up and see the heavens, your door cannot leave
your body and roam around and do something else. So that's why when
you sleep, you're able to access when you shut down this body,
you're able to access a little bit of the unseen realm. And you're
able to fly around a little bit. That's the world of dreams. But
when you're awake, your body is now in this filter. So there's
information going on here right?
All sorts of waves are flying around so the phone is a filter.
It filters for me what I can see and I can do something back it
sleep paralysis real. Allow them
I don't know anything knowledge about sleep paralysis there is. I
did read about one type of shaytaan that that sucks, stuffs
up people and makes them unable to move. And they even the Arabs have
a name for this type of shaytaan.
Right there is a name for this type of Satan El jefe. Whom I
think it's called that he actually stifles people when they sleep for
fun to bother them. That's it. But it could be something medical to
Allah knows best or have knowledge on that. Show you fast on your
birthday. No fast in general, has nothing to do with our birthday.
How do you become more involved with the Muslim community and make
yourself useful? Go to the masjid and do any little thing without
anybody asking. Keep doing that one day someone will ask you to do
a job. That's from Allah. Then they'll ask you to do another job
that's from Allah, another job, another job, another job, so on
and so forth.
Should we fasten the ninth 10th of Muharram you can pass on the 10th
but it's better to fast on the ninth and 10th or 10th and 11th.
Brother has sleep paralysis will lie in Mulleavy sleep paralysis. I
have no knowledge on sleep paralysis, paralysis.
Okay,
Chief Latif is from the south. Wow. So
it's permissible to pirate Islamic texts online for the sake of
seeking knowledge.
You gotta give those shoukat donation or something because it's
good, they're not going to write books anymore.
You know?
Because they got to have some economy.
But I think everyone does it a little bit, but don't sell it,
spread it around and try to find a way if you have money to.
What if it's the books of the deceased? Well
the thing is that the editors themselves I think we all got
PDFs, right.
We all got these PDFs. So I think that I don't know how they how any
of these book publishers survived. Right?
I don't know how they survive, because everything's on the PDF
now. Is it permissible to celebrate anniversaries? Yeah,
like husband and wife. Yeah. Like, but it should not be with
extravagance, and burdening people and come celebrate our anniversary
and then you get hesed. Half the people are divorced, have the
other half is miserable. And you're like, Oh, look how happy we
are. You're gonna bring yourself hesed and you're gonna make them
feel bad. So just do something private with yourself. And that's
it. I never understand people put their public life online, so
that's not something you want to do. Last question before we go to
the DUA. Sehgal, Ibrahim says Could you repeat the three Tafseer
books please number one tafsir al bulgogi number two,
Al Cora to be number three raazi and the only reason I put raazi
third is because it's so long it's like 26 PDFs
and number four unnecessary
those are my favorite go to books on tafsir
if you're a site it costs 200 times to follow that hadith of
wiping 50 cents Do you write investment I once or every time
you can do it once only
All right,
for the fifth time, that was the last question and now let us move
to the dua of Yeoman RBI being authority what else
may Allah always keep us doing the DUA? This dua because it is a it's
a real if you're on Instagram, you can come to YouTube and you'll see
the split screen
