00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			I hope that you're all doing fantastic by
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27
			the grace and mercy of Allah
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31
			We find ourselves
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:34
			on another blessed Friday that Allah
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			has blessed us with. And,
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			you know, I was thinking maybe it's not
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			really feeling like Friday for many people,
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			you know, rushing out for
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			I was reminiscing actually. You know, today is
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			a PD day, a day off, for most,
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			students or many students.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			And,
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54
			I was thinking,
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			you know, a year ago,
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			when this day came or whenever will come
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01
			in the past before the pandemic, you know,
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			the,
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:03
			the the,
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:04
			our own
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08
			complex where we would be renting and holding
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			salatul Jummah, the witchcraft recreation complex will be
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			full. I'll be looking forward to seeing my
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			young friends.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			You know, there'll be many children and youth
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			in the audience.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			But alas, it is, not to be. I'm
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			sitting in front of an empty hall,
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:21
			right now.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			But in any case, we
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			have still opportunities to connect with each other
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			virtually
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			and to hear messages from one another. And
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			I know people are getting tired probably
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:33
			of,
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
			going online.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			As we know, school closure has been extended.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			It's hard for students,
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			parents as well,
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			you know, having to work from home,
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:45
			and,
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			having the children going to school from home
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:49
			as well at the same time, trying to
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:52
			supervise them, and all of those things, the
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			Internet connection being shared, you know, if it's
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			not strong enough.
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			So I know it's, it's tough. It's not
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			easy to go through, and I don't want
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01
			to take, you know, too much time online
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			because I know we're we're already spending too
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04
			much time.
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			But, you know, I wanna say that these
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:07
			are not normal circumstances,
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10
			and not everyone is able to adapt very
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			quickly. And we have to keep that in
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			mind. You know, some people,
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			they're very quick. You know, they're very quick
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			at adapting to new circumstances. This is from
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			Allah.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:20
			They're very adaptable
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:22
			and, you know, others
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			may not be, you know, and this is
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			normal. This is normal because not everyone is
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			the same. Allah
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:30
			has created all of us different. Right? And
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:30
			therefore,
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32
			you know, people,
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			react as we've discussed before. We have to
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:38
			different circumstances and different situations in different ways.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			So for some, it may be working great.
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:46
			For others, it might feel really terrible. So
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:47
			what I wanna say is
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			don't be too harsh on yourself.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:51
			Don't be too harsh on yourself because what
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:54
			happens is, you know, we try to maintain
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:57
			that same level of performance, the same level
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:57
			of perfection
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			for those who are perfectionists
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:03
			that we had otherwise before the pandemic, before,
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:04
			you know, we were all forced to go
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:05
			online.
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:06
			But
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			we may not be able to maintain the
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:11
			same level, right, because everything has changed so
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:12
			much and because of the circumstances.
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:16
			And then we keep pushing ourselves and keep
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			trying hard and,
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:20
			and, you know, it's frustrating, and maybe we're
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:21
			not getting the results that we're trying to
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			get or that we're hoping to get. So
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			messages, don't be too harsh on yourself.
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28
			Yes. You know, don't waste your time when
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			you're in school, when you're online and your
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			teacher is teaching. You know, try to pay
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:33
			attention. I know it's hard,
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			but try as much as possible,
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			but take frequent breaks. You know, if you're
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			taking class from bed,
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			of course not today, like, if you're off
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			today, but, like, generally, if you're going to
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			school from bed, if you're working from bed,
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			you know, get get out of bed. You
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			know, get off your device as much as
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:51
			you can.
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			Get out and walk, and play with members
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:54
			of your own household.
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:58
			People are, you know, even biking. Right?
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			They're they're playing in the snow. They're doing
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:03
			different activities. So try to make the most
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:04
			of that. Right? Try to get out there
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			even if it's cold. Like, last week was
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			really cold on some days, but, honestly, just
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			bundle up. Like, we live in Canada. Right?
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:11
			What do you expect? It's gonna be cold.
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			Right? It's up north. So you dress up
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:14
			warmly,
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:15
			and make sure you get out. Try to
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			do it every single day and get get
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			some exercise. Get out there and walk. And,
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			honestly, you'll feel better. Right? Research has shown
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24
			even 5 minutes of moderate activity of just
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			5 minutes of just regular exercise, even just
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			walking, it has an impact. It has a
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:29
			positive
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:31
			impact on your mood, you know, on your
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			mental health. So it's really important. Like, I
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			know I keep mentioning this, but it actually
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37
			is super super important to get moving and
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:38
			not to just get hold up,
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			inside home.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			Or even if you're you can't leave, you
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:43
			know, do some work around the house, move
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:44
			around, do something.
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			Don't just keep, you know, being plugged to
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			your to your device. It's gonna be really
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			bad for your brain, for your mind,
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:53
			and, you know, for your physical, spiritual health
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			as well. So really try to unplug as
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:56
			much as possible. For people working at home,
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:57
			you know, a common,
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			comment is that, you know, it's hard to
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			unplug because your computer's right there, you know,
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			no matter what the hour is, you know,
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:05
			it's
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:07
			you wanna respond when you hear that beep
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			or, you know, when you get that message.
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			Try to set time and or boundaries for
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			yourselves. And this is gonna be good for
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:14
			yourself. It's gonna be good for you for
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16
			your family. And I know it's hard. Like,
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			it's tough for me too, but let's try
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			to do that as much as possible.
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			Now the COVID numbers in Ottawa and Ontario
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:23
			are dropping, Alhamdulillah.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:25
			So it seems like our efforts,
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:27
			are, paying off.
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			We are, you know, hearing of cases of,
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:31
			people we know,
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:32
			families,
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:35
			brothers, sisters, who are still getting infected.
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			So this is, still a concern. It's not
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:39
			over yet.
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:40
			But the numbers
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43
			are are getting lower, so that's a good
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:43
			sign.
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:46
			But the key honestly, if you wanna just
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			make it simple, the key is
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:51
			not to have close contact with people outside
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:53
			your household. K. It doesn't matter who it
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:55
			is. Do not have contact with people outside
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:58
			of your household. Close contact. Okay? If you
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:01
			need to be around others, wear masks and
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			wash your hands frequently and properly. Like, it's
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:05
			really simple. It's really simple. This is what
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:06
			we are able to do. There's a lot
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			of things that are not in our control,
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:09
			but these are the things that are in
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:12
			our control. Only have close contact with members
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:14
			of your own household and no one else.
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:15
			If you need to be around others, wear
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:18
			a mask. And number 3, wash your hands
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20
			regularly and properly at least for, like, 15
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:22
			to 20 seconds. Okay? So,
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:24
			you know, if you don't like the situation
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			that we're in, I don't like it either.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28
			You know, these are the 3 things that
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			are in our control that we can do.
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:31
			The rest is up to Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:34
			Ta'ala. And to him alone, we turn to
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:35
			seek help and to seek relief from this
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			trial. You know, these little steps that I'm
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			talking about that we've been hearing, you know,
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			they're they're not gonna grant us relief. Allah
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:42
			Subhanahu wa ta'ala is. But we need to
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44
			do our part. So these are three simple
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:47
			things that we can do. May Allah
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:48
			make it easy for all of us. May
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:51
			Allah keep us all safe. May Allah
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53
			cure those who have been afflicted.
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			Today, inshallah, I'm going to tell you a
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:59
			short but important story, and then I'll tell
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			you why. Okay? Now we all know that
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:02
			chetan,
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:04
			is,
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:05
			public enemy number 1.
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			Okay? If there is a a a public
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			security threat, if there's a threat to the
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:13
			well-being of the public of of of humanity,
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16
			enemy number 1 is Shaytan. You know, some
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:20
			enemies are hidden, but Shaytan has openly declared
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:21
			war upon us. And Allah
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:23
			has repeatedly
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:26
			warned warned us about Shaytan. For example, he
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:27
			says,
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			All you who believe, do not follow in
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:37
			the footsteps of shaitan. Like, honestly, could it
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39
			be any clearer than that? Do not follow.
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43
			Do not follow in the footsteps of shaitan.
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			Shaitan. Whoever follows the footsteps of Shaitan
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:55
			should know that he orders 1 to commit
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:58
			shameful acts and evil deeds.
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:01
			Shameful acts and evil deeds, munka, those that
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:02
			are prohibited by Allah
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:07
			and going against what Allah has commanded. Okay?
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:08
			So this is what he does. This is
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10
			what he gets people to do. Allah tells
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:10
			us,
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:16
			shaitan
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:19
			frightens you with poverty. What does he do?
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:20
			He frightens you with poverty, like, you know,
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:23
			when it comes to giving and charity, when
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:24
			it comes to, you know,
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:26
			not being greedy, what does he do? He
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:27
			frightens you with poverty.
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34
			So as shaitan frightens you with poverty,
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37
			sorry, and bids you to commit
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:40
			indecency, indecent, shameful, immoral
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:42
			acts. But Allah
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:45
			promises you forgiveness from him and grace as
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:48
			well. So 2 opposites. If you this is
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:50
			what shaitan invites people to or, you know,
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:53
			he he he, frightens people, that's his message.
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:55
			He frightens people with poverty, so it gets
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:57
			them to do all these, you know,
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:01
			undesirable and haram things, and he commits or,
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:03
			commands people to commit indecency.
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:04
			Whereas Allah
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:05
			promises
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:09
			forgiveness and grace. Allah tells us,
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:17
			Surely, Shaitan is an enemy for you. Indeed,
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:20
			surely shaitan is an enemy, so take him
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:21
			as an enemy.
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:23
			Recognize him as an enemy. Take him as
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:24
			an enemy.
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:32
			He only invites his group to falsehood so
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:35
			that they became so that they become inmates
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:37
			of the blazing fire. So this is what
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:39
			his objective is. Now
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:40
			clearly,
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:43
			shaitan is an enemy. He commands us to
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:45
			do everything that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala doesn't
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:46
			like, and he does it in different ways.
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:49
			And this is so important to understand because
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:50
			if you're in a war, if you're in
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:51
			a battle, if you're in a, you know,
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:53
			in a in a in a conflict with
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			someone, then you need to know how they
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:57
			operate. You need to know their MO. Right?
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			What is it that they do? How do
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:01
			they operate? How are they gonna try to
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:02
			get you?
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05
			And Allah tells us in the Quran, he
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:08
			warns us about shaytan. Right? His shaytan's Iblis'
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10
			own word because he says he's gonna use
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:11
			different approaches
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:13
			because not everything works on everyone. As we
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:15
			discussed in the beginning, every person is different.
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:19
			Right? People are different. So Iblis, Shaitan, knows
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:21
			that, and he has promised that he's gonna
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:25
			use different approaches for different people. He says,
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:38
			Says then I will come upon them from
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:40
			their front and from their behind and from
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:42
			their right and from their left, and you're
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44
			not gonna find most of them to be
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:46
			grateful. Right? So this is these are his
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:49
			words towards Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to Allah
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:51
			promising that he's gonna try to get us.
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:54
			He's gonna try to attack us from different
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:57
			avenues, from different approaches, different ideas, different temptations,
		
00:10:58 --> 00:10:59
			different trials, like, different different,
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:01
			traps that he's gonna be setting up for
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:04
			us all around us. Okay. But,
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:06
			you know, here is something,
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:08
			that we need to realize that throughout the
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:09
			course of our lives
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:13
			for our and for as long as humanity
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:13
			exists,
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:15
			shaitan will continue
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:18
			to try to deceive people with false promises,
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:20
			building up false dreams,
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:23
			leading people to make bad choices,
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:24
			temptations,
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:27
			traps. This is what's gonna continue to happen
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:30
			till the last day. But let's talk about
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:31
			what's gonna happen on the day of judgment.
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33
			Here's the story. Now the day of judgment
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:35
			is going to be a very difficult day.
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:37
			It's gonna be a very difficult day. We
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:38
			ask Allah
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:40
			to make it easy for us.
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:41
			And
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:44
			it's when, you know, the the distress
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:46
			and the waiting will become too much for
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:48
			people. It's like, you know, I don't know
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:50
			if you've had this encounter you know, this
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:51
			experience, but, you know, let's say you're traveling
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:54
			somewhere and your plane lands and now, you
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:56
			know, you're stuck in customs and immigration,
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:58
			and you're not getting your turn or, you
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00
			know, you're waiting at the passport office and
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:00
			it's taking forever.
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:03
			It's taking forever. It's like there's no hope,
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:05
			there's no end in sight. And there's, like,
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:06
			a huge lineup of people, like, you know,
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:08
			your number is, like, I don't know, like,
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:10
			way behind, and you're just stuck. Okay? So
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:12
			it's like that type of situation times, like,
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:14
			a1000000. Okay? So the distress
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:16
			and the waiting will become too much for
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:18
			people. So the people are gonna go from
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:21
			prophet to prophet, from one prophet to another
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:23
			prophet. You know, they're gonna go to, prophet
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			Adam alayhi salam, prophet Nuh alayhi salam, Musa
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:27
			alayhi salam, Isa alayhi salam. They're gonna go
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:28
			to each prophet
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:30
			asking them to intercede,
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:33
			asking them to plead with Allah
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:35
			to remove the distress and to get the
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:37
			judgment to happen. Okay? Because the, you know,
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:39
			the the distress, the the waiting is just
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:41
			gonna be way too much on that such
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:43
			a difficult and hard day.
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:44
			So
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:46
			they will come to the various prophets and
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48
			they will excuse themselves. So prophet Adam alayhi
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50
			wasalam is gonna excuse himself. They'll come to
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:52
			Nuhar alayhi wasalam, he will excuse himself. They'll
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:54
			come to Ibrahim alayhi wasalam, he will excuse
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:55
			himself. They will come to Musa alayhi wasalam,
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:57
			he will excuse himself. They will come to
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:59
			Isa alayhi wasalam, he will excuse himself.
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:02
			Then they will come to our prophet Muhammad
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:05
			sallallahu alaihi wasallam, and he will be the
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:07
			one who will intercede for the people in
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:09
			that place of gathering so that the judgment
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:11
			may be passed. Now it comes in a
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:12
			narration that is quoted in some books of
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:13
			tafsir
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:15
			that the rejecting disbelievers
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:18
			will then say because, you know, the believers
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:20
			were looking for someone to intercede for them
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:21
			and the prophet
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			has done it. So now the the rejecting
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:24
			disbelievers,
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:26
			they will then say that
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:30
			that the believers have found someone to intercede
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:31
			for them.
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:34
			Who will intercede for us?
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:37
			Who will intercede for us? So they will
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:38
			be wondering now,
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:41
			what about us? Okay. So the the believers
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:43
			have been taken care of by the prophets,
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:44
			by the prophet Muhammad, but
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:46
			what about us? We didn't believe in them.
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:48
			Okay? So who's gonna who's gonna stand up
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:50
			for us? Who's gonna do something for us?
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52
			They're looking for someone to help them out.
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:54
			And then
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:56
			they think about it, and then they're gonna
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:56
			be like,
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:02
			It is none other than Iblis who has
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:03
			misled us.
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:06
			So they will so they come to Iblis.
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:07
			So they'll come to Iblis
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:10
			and they'll
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:12
			say
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:15
			that the believers have found someone to intercede
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:16
			for them.
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:21
			So arise and intercede for us.
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:25
			Why? Because for you have have led us
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:26
			astray. You are the one who got us
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:30
			here. Okay? The believers, they had the prophet
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:31
			standing up for them. They had the prophet
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:32
			Muhammad
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:35
			standing up for them, interceding for them, but
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:37
			we don't have anyone. You, Iblis, Shaitan, are
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:39
			the one who got us to this point.
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:40
			So you are a leader, so you go
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:42
			ahead now and and you you do something
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:43
			for us. You intercede for us.
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:44
			And then,
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:46
			you could just see where this is going.
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:48
			Right? Okay? And then
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:51
			in in verse 22 of Surah Ibrahim, Allah
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:52
			tells us what is gonna happen next at
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:54
			this point. And he says,
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:58
			and Shaitan will say to his followers after
		
00:14:58 --> 00:14:59
			the judgment has been passed.
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:06
			That indeed Allah has made you a true
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:09
			promise. Okay? So at this point, you know,
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:11
			the decision will likely be made. Nothing will
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:12
			happen for the intercession.
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:14
			Then shaitan will finally speak.
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:21
			Inna Allahu wa'adakummaadalhaqq.
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:25
			Indeed, Allah has made you a true promise.
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:29
			I too made you a promise. He's gonna
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:31
			admit, yeah, I made a promise, but I
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:33
			betrayed you. It's so straightforward.
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:36
			On that day, when everything's done, he's gonna
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:38
			come out. He's like, yeah, Allah made a
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:41
			promise. Allah's promise was true. I made you
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:42
			a promise, but I betrayed you.
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:48
			I did not have any authority over you.
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:50
			It's not like I was putting a gun
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:51
			to your head and telling you to do
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:53
			everything and follow me. I didn't have any
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:55
			authority over you. I wasn't controlling you.
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:02
			Only I called you. I only called you,
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:04
			and you responded to me.
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:06
			I called you. I gave you an invitation,
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:07
			and
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:09
			you
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:11
			you responded to me.
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17
			So do not blame me. I ain't do
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:19
			anything. K? It's not my problem. It's not
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:21
			my responsibility. Blame yourselves.
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:24
			Blame yourselves.
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:30
			He's gonna say, indeed,
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:33
			I cannot save you
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:34
			nor can you save
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:36
			me.
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:41
			Indeed, I denounce your previous associations of me
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:42
			with Allah in loyalty.
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:45
			He's gonna completely wash his hands off of
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:46
			all of his followers,
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			all the people he got in trouble,
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:51
			all the people he gave false hopes to
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:52
			temptations
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:54
			that he set up traps for, that he
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:55
			was leading,
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:57
			that he was guiding in it with his
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:58
			own evil whispers.
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:01
			He thought, like, they thought they were guided.
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:03
			Right? But they actually weren't. And now he's
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:06
			just completely disassociating himself from everything. He's like,
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:07
			I have no authority of I did not
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:10
			have any authority over you. I only called
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:12
			you. You responded to me, so don't blame
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:14
			me. Blame yourselves. I can't save you. You
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:17
			can't save me. I denounce, you know, your
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:20
			previous associations of who with Allah. Like, okay.
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:22
			And that's it. Like, I have nothing to
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:25
			do with you. K. Can you imagine the
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:26
			the the the the,
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:29
			the the the shock, the frustration,
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:31
			the, the disappointment
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:33
			of these followers of shaitan?
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:35
			Right? In other places,
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:47
			They will say, our lord, we obeyed our
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:49
			leaders and elite, but they led us astray
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:52
			from the right way. They're gonna try to
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:55
			get rid of, you know, the, they're they're
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:56
			trying to forgo the responsibility,
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:58
			right, or accountability for what they've done. So
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:00
			they say, no. No. We will beat our
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:00
			leaders.
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:04
			You know, they are the ones who led
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:06
			us astray. You know? So it's like, look
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:08
			look towards them. And in another verse
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:11
			or immediately after that rather, they will say
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:18
			Our lord, give them double our punishment.
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:22
			Give them double the punishment and condemn them
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:22
			tremendously.
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:25
			Right? They should have more accountability. They're the
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:27
			ones who we were following. We thought they
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:27
			were correct.
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:29
			In another place, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala tells
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:31
			us, Surah Fusilat.
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:46
			That the disbelievers will then cry, our Lord,
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:48
			show us those jinns.
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:54
			Show us those jinns and humans who led
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:56
			us astray. We will put them under our
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:58
			feet so that they will be among the
		
00:18:58 --> 00:18:59
			lowest in the punishment.
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:02
			Right? They want them to? Like, there there
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:04
			there's so much anger now and and there's
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:06
			so, you know, the the the they feel
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:09
			soaked and, you know, they're they're so,
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:11
			upset over what has happened to them. They
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:12
			wanna go after their leaders. They wanna go
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:14
			after the people who brought them to that
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:15
			place.
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:16
			Allah
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:17
			will say,
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:27
			that enter the fire among with the evil
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:28
			groups of genuine humans
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:31
			that preceded you. And what will happen?
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:37
			Whenever a group enters the hellfire, it will
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:39
			curse the preceding one.
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:41
			And what will it do? It will curse
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:43
			the preceding one
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:49
			until they're all gathered inside. K? So these
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:50
			are gonna be this is gonna be one
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:52
			terribly miserable group.
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:53
			And
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:55
			they will say right?
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:58
			The, the the followers will say about their
		
00:19:58 --> 00:19:59
			leaders
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:09
			Our lord, they have misled us, so multiply
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:12
			their torment in the fire. Allah
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:13
			will say,
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:19
			You will answer it has already been multiplied
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:21
			for all but you do not know. So
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:23
			this is going to be a very, very
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:25
			terrible miserable state that
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:29
			these, people sadly will be finding themselves in.
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:29
			May Allah
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:33
			protect us and our future generations. May Allah
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:34
			forgive our ancestors.
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:37
			Ameen Yarbaralameen. May Allah protect us from all
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:40
			types of evil traps. May Allah protect us
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:43
			from all types of evil inclinations, especially our
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:46
			youth, our future generations, our children, and their
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:48
			progeny. You know, this this shaitan,
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:50
			is is like I said, he's public enemy
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:52
			number 1. He's gonna try to set up,
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:53
			you know, all types of traps,
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:55
			for us. So and we have to be
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:56
			so aware.
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:58
			Like, we know we are the targets, so
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:00
			we have to be so careful and we
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:01
			have to be so aware. Otherwise, we don't
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:03
			wanna end up like those losers.
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:05
			Protect us.
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:08
			May Allah guide those who are heading in
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:09
			that direction as well.
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:12
			Because, you know, it's it's very sad when
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:14
			we see people falling into these types of
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:15
			traps. Now,
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:17
			you know, what I've just described
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:19
			will be the ultimate betrayal.
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:21
			Right? Shaitan and his buddies,
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:25
			leaders of groups of people who followed him,
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:26
			leading people astray,
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:29
			making false promises, promoting immorality,
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:31
			promoting indecent,
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:32
			you know, indecency,
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:35
			promoting evil, you know, leading people to the
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:36
			disobedience of Allah
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:39
			and then not taking any responsibility. So this
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:42
			will be the ultimate betrayal because at that
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:44
			point, there's no going back. At that point,
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:46
			there's no way to to to make things
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:48
			better. There's no way to correct any mistakes.
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:51
			The time is up at that point. Right?
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:52
			The time to do to to make amends
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:54
			and to fix the the situation
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:56
			and to fix our path and our course
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:57
			is now.
		
00:21:57 --> 00:21:58
			Right? This is the time to fix it.
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:00
			If you don't fix it now and you
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:02
			wait until that point, then it's just way
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:03
			too late. Game over then. You know? Then
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:05
			then it is what it is, and no
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:07
			one can do anything about it. You know?
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:09
			And, unfortunately, my brothers and sisters, my young
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:11
			friends, it's really important. We see this happening
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:13
			in front of us today.
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:15
			We see this happening in front of us
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:16
			today. We see leaders,
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:17
			presidents,
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:20
			kings, prime ministers,
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:23
			or, you know, perhaps just school yard bullies
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:24
			or gang leaders,
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:25
			fraudsters,
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:28
			fake friends, friends that you think are friends
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:29
			but they're actually not really friends,
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:31
			making false promises.
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:34
			You know, tempting their followers with promises of
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:36
			rewards and big dreams.
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:38
			They riled them up.
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:40
			They riled them up. They build them up,
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:42
			you know, whether it's to fight against something
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:44
			or whether it's to to try to achieve
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:46
			something, you know, and they make them do
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:47
			all sorts of things.
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:50
			And they make them do all sorts of
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:52
			things. But when the trouble strikes, they vanish.
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:56
			When the trouble strikes, they vanish, or worse
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:57
			yet, they turn against their followers.
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:00
			Say, no. Oh, you never told them to
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:02
			do that. I'm gonna get on my plane
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:04
			and go to my resort and just relax.
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:06
			And, oh, all those people who are who
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:08
			are trying to stand up, who are my
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:10
			followers, who who I incited and I let
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:12
			them to do all these things. Oh, no.
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:15
			Oh, who cares about them? Oh, yeah. Oh,
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:17
			you're nice people. You know, I love you.
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:19
			But, I'm gonna go relax now and now
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:20
			you you're stuck.
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:22
			Okay? This is what happened in this world,
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:22
			unfortunately.
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:25
			You see this with gang members, unfortunately. It's
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:27
			so terrible. The first murder, you know, the
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:30
			first murder victim in in in, in in
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:32
			our city here in Ottawa, unfortunately, a Muslim
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:32
			name.
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:34
			You know? And,
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:36
			you you learn about the history. You learn
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:38
			about what has happened. Unfortunately, this is what
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:40
			it is. It was, you know, a lot
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:42
			of the best, but, you know,
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:45
			involvement in gangs and drugs doesn't get anywhere
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:46
			in a good place. Doesn't get anyone into
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:48
			a to to a good place. You know?
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:50
			And a lot of times, there's the big,
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:53
			you know, kingpins, you know, the the the
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:55
			big gang leaders. They're all sitting at the
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:57
			top. Nothing's happening to them. They're not the
		
00:23:57 --> 00:23:59
			ones getting arrested. They're not the ones getting
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:00
			murdered.
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:02
			Right? But they're the ones making all the
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:04
			money, and they're using our people. Right? They're
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:07
			using our kids our kids who fall into
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:08
			these traps, unfortunately.
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:11
			Right? Society's kids, our neighbors' kids, they are
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:13
			the ones who are falling into these traps
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:16
			and being used as pawns, and they are
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:18
			the ones who end up getting killed. They
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:19
			are the ones who get arrested. They are
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:21
			the ones who end up going through all
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:23
			the trouble, and families are destroyed. Right? And
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:24
			and and, generations
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:27
			even are getting destroyed. May Allah may Allah
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:28
			save us,
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:30
			and them and all of
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:31
			us. And this is what it is that
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:33
			people fall for these traps and they fall
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:34
			for these temptations, unfortunately,
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:38
			not realizing that they are being fused. The
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:41
			followers are left dejected, left helpless, in trouble,
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:43
			in jail. No one's gonna come in jail
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:44
			and ask them, oh, how are you doing
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:46
			now? Can I help you out? No. They're
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:48
			all gone. They're all, you know, enjoying their
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:50
			own lives. They don't care. And sometimes, like
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:51
			I said, people are even losing their own
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:52
			lives. So my friends
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:55
			my friends, especially my young friends, but adults
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:56
			as well, everyone,
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:58
			don't get duped.
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:01
			Don't get fooled by Shaytan
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:03
			or anyone who is following his playbook.
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:06
			And before doing anything that could be considered
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:07
			questionable or unacceptable,
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:09
			When you ask yourself, this action that I'm
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:10
			about to do I mean, honestly, if people
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:13
			started thinking about their actions before they actually
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:14
			did them, like, half the problems of the
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:15
			world would probably be solved.
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:18
			Okay? Before doing anything, just stop, pause, and
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:20
			ask yourself. Okay? Especially if it's something that's,
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:21
			like, questionable
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:22
			or unacceptable,
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:24
			you know, like, in society, according to the
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:26
			law, according to the religion, you know, according
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:29
			to to to the ways of doing things
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:31
			in your family. You know, whatever standard you
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:33
			wanna use, ask yourself 3 questions. Number 1,
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:34
			what are the consequences?
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:37
			Right? What's gonna happen if I get caught?
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:39
			What what what could happen to me? Where
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:40
			where if I end up? What am I
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:42
			gonna end up with? Who am I gonna
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:44
			end up with? So what are the consequences?
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:45
			Number 1. Number 2,
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:47
			what's gonna happen if I don't do it?
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:50
			Yes. I'm being enticed to do this. But
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:51
			what's the worst that's gonna happen if I
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:53
			don't do it? What if I just don't
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:55
			do it? Like, it's okay. Right? Number 3,
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:56
			who benefits?
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:59
			If I do this, who's gonna benefit?
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:01
			And a lot of times we've seen this,
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:03
			right, over and over again. It's the people
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:06
			who are in power, people in positions, people
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:08
			who are rich or, you know, who are
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:09
			protected. They are the ones
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:11
			who are benefiting,
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:13
			and it's the little people. It's the ordinary
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:15
			person. It's the, you know, the the person
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:17
			who's at the lowest level of the chain,
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:19
			who is having to take the risk and
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:21
			and and and hurt themselves and and and
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:23
			and get themselves into trouble, and that should
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:26
			not be happening. It's breaks my heart to
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:28
			see people duped, whether it's by a political
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:31
			leader who follows, who who who who, you
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:32
			know, who who,
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:35
			who people are following or a gang leader
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:37
			who uses young people, got some to put
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:39
			lives on the line, or anyone else who
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:42
			manipulates people, manipulates other for their own for
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:43
			his or home benefit.
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:45
			Okay? So be wise.
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:48
			Beware of Shaytan and those who follow him.
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:49
			Beware of thoughts,
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:50
			ideas,
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:51
			temptations,
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:53
			trends,
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:57
			friends, ads, commercials, all of these different tools
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:59
			that Shaytan may be using against you.
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:02
			K. Post that you come across, crazy ideas
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:03
			that are planted in your head that you
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:06
			hear across or people are talking about or
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:07
			they're throwing at you and it starts messing
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:09
			up with your mind, with your faith, you
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:11
			know, with with with, with your heart, with
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:12
			your spirituality.
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:14
			Like, it's just not worth it. It's just
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:16
			it's honestly, it's not worth it because this
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:17
			is what's gonna happen at the end, what
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:20
			I just described to you. You know, instead,
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:21
			flee to Allah
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:22
			and you will never be disappointed.
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:31
			Allah told him. He said, you will truly
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:33
			have no authority over my faithful servants,
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:35
			and sufficient is your lord as a guardian.
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:38
			Allah said, we're protecting those who are, you
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:41
			know, who are faithfully, sincerely his servants. So
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:45
			flee to Allah and you are not gonna
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:49
			be disappointed. He certainly has no authority over
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:54
			those who believe and who put their trust
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:56
			in their Lord. So my brothers and sisters,
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:58
			my young friends, I love you all for
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:00
			the sake of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. May
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:00
			Allah
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:03
			keep you and your future generations always safe
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:06
			from all types of harms, whether they're physical,
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:09
			whether they're spiritual, whether they're mental or financial
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:11
			or emotional or of any other type. May
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:11
			Allah
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:14
			always be with you. May Allah always keep
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:15
			you under his protection.
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:24
			And whoever is mindful of Allah, he will
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:26
			make a way out for them. And
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:30
			provide for them from sources they could never
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:31
			imagine.
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:36
			And whoever puts their trust in Allah, then
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:39
			he alone is sufficient for them.
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:44
			And certainly, Allah achieves as well.
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:51
			Allah has already set a destiny for everything.
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:52
			Let us make
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:27
			Oh, Allah. All praises for you. Oh, Allah.
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:29
			We thank you. Oh, Allah. Even if we
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:31
			thank you for every second and every moment
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:33
			of our lives, it would not be enough.
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:35
			Oh, Allah. Please accept our entire existence
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:38
			as a form of gratefulness and thankfulness to
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:41
			you, You Rabbal Alameen. Oh, Allah, please enable
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:43
			us to thank you through every action, through
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:46
			every breath, through every moon movement, and every
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:48
			thought, You Rabbal Alameen. Oh, Allah, please count
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:50
			us amongst those who are the grateful, You
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:52
			Rabbal Alameen. Oh, Allah, please protect us from
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:54
			being counted amongst the ungrateful
		
00:29:55 --> 00:29:56
			and those who reject you.
		
00:29:57 --> 00:29:59
			Oh, Allah, we are your weak servants. Oh,
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:01
			Allah, we are committing so many sins. Oh,
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:04
			Allah, even since last Friday. Oh, Allah, even
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:06
			in just one week, we have committed so
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:08
			many sins. Oh, Allah, if we sat down
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:09
			to make a list of all of our
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:12
			sins and weak and shortcomings and mistakes in
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:13
			the last week, oh, Allah, it will be
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:15
			such a long list. Oh, Allah, what about
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:17
			our whole lives? Oh, Allah, what about our
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:19
			entire lives that you're watching over and that
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:21
			you're recording? Oh, Allah, please forgive us for
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:22
			all of our shortcomings. Oh,
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:24
			Allah, please forgive us for all of our
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:25
			sins.
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:28
			Oh, Allah, please remove all of the evil
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:30
			effects of our sins on our hearts and
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:31
			our minds.
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:33
			Oh, Allah, all the evil effects of our
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:36
			sins in society, our on on on our
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:37
			families and our communities.
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:40
			Oh, Allah, please guide us to that which
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:42
			pleases you most. Oh, Allah, we are so
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:45
			weak. Oh, Allah, we are so lacking. Oh,
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:46
			Allah, that we don't even know how we
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:48
			should be. Oh, Allah, guide us to how
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:50
			you want us to be, how we should
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:51
			we should be, how,
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:53
			our existence will become a means,
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:55
			of of acceptance
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:58
			and that is that will be pleasing to
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:01
			you. Oh, Allah, please open the gates of
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:03
			cloud sustenance for all of your faithful servants
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:04
			in your creation.
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:06
			Oh, Allah, many brothers and sisters are struggling
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:09
			at this time. Oh, Allah, please make it
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:10
			easy for them. Oh, Allah, please remove their
		
00:31:10 --> 00:31:13
