00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			We think that we pray and our beds
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			are longer than everybody else and maybe our
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			children all who fars and my son is
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			a half is and my father is a
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:11
			sheikh and I got everything and I got
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			all the businesses and,
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			oh, this is a sad situation.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			You know, many a times in many masjids,
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			you know who are the people make the
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:20
			problems?
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			Who, brother Irfan? Now honest, tell me. The
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			people who pray salah 5 times a day.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			It's not the visit and the stranger brothers
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:28
			at.
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			You go to many masjids in America,
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			back home,
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			the people who always
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			very
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			I wish I could use the word, but
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			always have a lot of hang ups
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			and a nasty attitude
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			and bad manners
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			and insultive to others.
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			And many a time the people who think
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			they pray the most and they pray the
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			best and they are the best so they
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54
			can
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			treat people back.
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			Right, brother?
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			And brother Nasib, do you see that?
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:05
			Fighting to praise Allah, fighting to call us
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			on, fighting who should be here.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			Because that arrogant
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			quality is in them.
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			So they think they are pious,
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			but then they got pride.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			And the prophet says,
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:27
			a person who have as much as
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			a
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			mustard
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:30
			seed
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			of
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			pride
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			will
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			not
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
			enter
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			Jannah.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37
			Oh,
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:37
			It's
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:38
			very
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:39
			dangerous
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:40
			thing.
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			The person who has as much as a
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			mustard seed
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			of pride will not end agenda.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:51
			So my brother says I pray over Ramadan.
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			I give this. I give that. I do
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			this, and we all walk with pride, and
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			that's what Allah is saying in the Quran
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			here.
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:06
			Don't think and don't have this insolence in
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			you, this highness, this hot in you. Don't
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			walk through this earth like that. This is
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			my earth, Allah is saying. Who do you
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:14
			think you are to walk on my earth
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			as though you're bigger than everybody else?
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			And hear what Allah says.
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:26
			Allah says, Allah says, certainly, Allah does not
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:31
			like those people who are arrogant. Allah is
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:36
			saying he does not like the people who
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37
			are arrogant.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			And it's sad to see
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:43
			that arrogance sometimes.
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			Arrogance sometimes.
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			And many a times,
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			people with this and you do that analysis,
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			you will see it. Look, Ramadan is a
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56
			little bit around the corner. We're already in
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			Rajab. Next month is Shabaan and Ramadan. You're
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			gonna see everybody become this holiest of the
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:01
			holy.
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:03
			First time you see them in the masjid
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			for the year, you know.
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			But it's like the holiest of the holy.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10
			They are more holy than the month of
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:10
			Ramadan.
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			They are holier than the month of Ramadan.
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			The best of the best.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			Shaitan is chained but they have now become
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:20
			loose.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			That's the Satan in them.
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			So I wanna remind myself and you'll be
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28
			very careful, my brothers and sisters. A lot
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:29
			of us could lose our blessings
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			because we think we are pious.
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:34
			And we have this arrogance that we are
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:37
			superior to others. And we look down on
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			others. Do you know who I am? You
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:40
			know how people talk?
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			They don't know who I am. Who are
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:44
			you? You don't even know who you are.
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:46
			That's what happens.
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			You know many times people who have arrogance,
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			they're like, you know who I am brother
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:51
			Azar? They They know who I am in
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			Darin Lanun. They they started. They know who
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:54
			I am in this Masjid.
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:56
			They know who I am in Florida. You
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			don't even know who you are. That's why
		
00:03:58 --> 00:03:59
			you're asking that. Right?
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			You're so stupid. You don't even know you
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:03
			are nothing.
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:05
			Oh, I'm the doctor. You're not the doctor.
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:06
			You're nothing.
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			Listen, brothers and sisters. You have 3 things
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			for sure we need to understand that we
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			know. If you think you're big
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			and we think we are big, there's 3
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:16
			things you could be.
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:23
			Strong on with confidence that you know,
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			which is a sign of humbleness,
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:27
			not about who you know I am and
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:28
			what I am.
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			Because you drive a good car and you
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			have a position or you have a doctorate
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:33
			or you have money.
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			One thing for sure we need to know
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:38
			to humble ourselves. Allah is the most merciful
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			and Allah is the most forgiving.
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			So if we can forgive people and can't
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			be nice and loving to people, we are
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:46
			nobody.
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			Allah is Akbar
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			and he is the most merciful and the
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:51
			most forgiven.
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53
			You know who I am when we when
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:54
			you tell yourself that
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			and you say you know who I am
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			always add to it I am nobody.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			And secondly,
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			concrete in your mind that one thing for
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			sure we know that we are nothing.
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			You know how we say in order to
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:10
			do come to not. She's like,
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:12
			We are nothing.
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			We are nothing. We may think we are
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:20
			something. That's because the one eye man leads
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			the blind. When you are just here among
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24
			some people, you feel you have it all.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			You have more money. You have more position.
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			You have more. When you really meet people
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			with money and position, you gotta humble yourself.
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:31
			We are nothing.
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			And thirdly, one thing you know for sure
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			is that we have to die.
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:41
			So if we would only understand these true
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:42
			things that we are sure we know, we
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			don't know who we are. If we have
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:45
			to know who we are, the only thing
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			we should know about who we are is
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:47
			that we are nothing.
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:49
			Nothing.
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:52
			That's why Allah reminds us in the Quran
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:53
			Europe,
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:56
			a you're a drop of sperm
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59
			that people say yak and wash it off.
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:01
			That's what you came from. That's where we
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:04
			came from. Go read Surah Yaseen. Go read
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			the Quran. Allah tells us that and if
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			you don't believe that tear the pages off.
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:11
			Allah tells us that we are nothing.
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:13
			You're a drop of blood.
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:18
			You're a little nuffar, little drop of sperm.
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:19
			That's the Quran.
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:22
			You don't believe that? They get out the
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			Quran. Don't say that I have said something
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			obscene on a member. That's what Allah tells
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:29
			us. Only to let us know. Don't think
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			that you are somebody and you're something. You're
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:31
			nothing.
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			We are only something if Allah makes us
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:34
			something.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			And when we are something in the eyes
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			of Allah, we are something.
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:41
			So much.
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:44
			And we know for sure we're gonna die.
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			And if we know for sure we're gonna
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:46
			die,
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49
			we're gonna then prepare for that death and
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:50
			that life in the hereafter.
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:53
			And nothing that we are everything down here.
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:55
			We are nothing.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:04
			Why
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:08
			don't you let these radical imams brainwash some
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:08
			of us?
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11
			We come here, we sit, we sleep in
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			khutbas, we don't get the message, that's why
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:14
			we miss it. All I need you to
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16
			be grateful, m'Allah.
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:20
			Are you telling me Allah will not protect
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			the the prestige of Muhammad Salah? Of us
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:23
			only living for business.
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			That's all our dream. Let me see who
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:27
			shall save you now.
