We got to get that message. We we have to get it we have to understand that we have to appreciate it.

Everything you read in Sharia

is about people doing things for the pleasure of Allah. Go to the 26th Surah of the Quran. The poet's

on the Estella Comala human agile

When you go on to Hajj

I want to get rewarded. I want to be forgiving my sins. Well, why are you praying at night? I want to be forgiven my sins. Why are you looking for Leila to God? I want to be forgiven my sins. So everybody understand that it has something to do with Allah but yet I'm gonna give you a remarkable Hadith Give me a minute. I'm gonna I'm gonna end with that with that hadith. But I want you to, to get this picture

And indeed, I used to love the Lord Anna, because she's married to the Prophet salallahu Salam. There are many things that he did, in private that we would never know. Unless Alicia told us I'll give you one example. She said one night the prophets Allah Salam prayed so much that his feet begin to crack

Allah has already forgiven any mistakes that you will make any sense that you could you make commit in the future Allah has already forgiven it.

And the Prophet alayhi salat wa salam said something very interesting to his wife Alicia.

I forgot who Hakuna Abdullah supporter,

Motivation

what moves you

what makes you give

you want to do for pleasure of Allah.

You want Jana?

Course?

Let me give you

a hadith and narration

that might

give you pause to think

this has this narration as two narrations both of them multifocal malaise Bukhari Muslim Hadith.

And you know, the Hadith you know, we can we can call it a lot of Hadith and what Abu Bakr did, or the law and what Omar did or the line,

but this hadith

I will bucket it and do it Omar didn't do it. Abdul Rahman and didn't do it. The Prophet didn't do the laser that was on the profits do it. Sahaba didn't do it.

Who did it? Orange alone, man.

No,

in the Hadith,

buggy

buggy, you know, I'm trying to be polite. The lady of the night, harlot

prostitute.

And this hadith narrated this two narrations first, this man, you know, had the

he was on a journey and became very thirsty.

And he saw well,

he went into well, iniquitous thirst.

But when he came out of the well he saw a dog

licking his tongue on the earth.

And he said

this dog is suffering the same thing I'm suffering from

and when in the well

and gave

water to a dog.

Who is this habit? No profit No. was the original Amen.

Gay water to dog what's his motive?

He read some idle Quran.

Hadith of the Prophet No.

Nobody said

his dog is suffering from the same thing I'm suffering from

and again wanted to a dog.

And the Prophet alayhi salat wa salam said about this man three things. Shaka Allah Allahu

Allah was grateful for what he did. thankful

to God for God for Allah who are ne forgave that man.

At the whole agenda of color who agenda in the incident to gender.

Allah was grateful

you forgave him his sin in the incident agenda.

Think about it.

Motivated that man.

was no iPhone Quran he didn't hold Hadith.

There was something within him.

And this buddy, same thing, she saw a dog and she went in the in the well and took out a shoe put water in the shoe

and came out of the well and gave the dog water. And Allah subhanaw taala The Prophet said that I love her gave her

you know that reminds me of

when the Prophet alayhi salat wa salam finished his night journey.

He was very thirsty.

And he was offered

some milk

and some wine.

In those days why wasn't prohibited.

So the Prophet alayhi salat wa salam he chose the milk

please

sent to put Jabril laser that was unanswered and I think this is the key going back to this hadith that I said, Remember what Brother Chavez said was correct.

And Hamdulillah he led the DACA live fitrah

club the camera, the word Omar to

Praise be to Allah who guided you all Muhammad to the fifth

to the very nature

had you chosen the wind your own man would have gone astray. Petra

that woman the buggy, the prostitute. She wasn't thinking about no I had she wasn't thinking about let me give water to this dog so that I can go to Jana. Let me give water to the dog that Allah forgive me my sin. No.

It was fifth.

Something deep within.

So I close my message today is very simple. Allah knows.

I love ignor Allah knows I love

I love maths,

Islam and mana and Munna and care

and all of these Islamic organizations

Ignis close to my heart,

people so much

help in hand for relief and development, the work that they do around the world sure they do it for the pleasure of Allah of course they do.

But you know what?

Deep within

they feel for the people who suffer

I went to Kenya would help him from leasing development. I saw firsthand what they do.

He can relieve i i know what they do. I see what they do the work that they do. Of course they do it for Allah. Of course. Allah given Jana all of them Allah forgive them, since all of them Yes, of course.

There is something within

the say, let me let me help mankind.

If Allah can forgive a prostitute,

give water to a dog. How much more so given water and food to human beings to Muslims?

Yes.

I love

all of those relief organizations, Islamic Relief all of them.

But today, we're talking about an institution called Edna

this virus have stopped us from coming together, collectively.

Still, we must go on.

And finally,

you make a deposit.

You make a deposit today

for any aspect of

you know, right now brothers and sisters, we have to make a connection with this virus to the people we have to make the connection to Allah, we got it we got to bring it back to a lot less the people not gonna get the message. So we have to do the download work, gain peace.

Ignore does it have all of these magnificent programs?

Let me leave you with one thought.

Most of you know by now I know many of you know by now that I was a student at New York University. Majored in mathematics.

And I understand mathematics studied. I learned it. I learned advanced mathematics, calculus, trigonometry, algebra, all of that.

And I've come to the conclusion

that what the Prophet sallallahu sallam said is so deep. You heard it. You hear it at every fundraiser, the NACA Salmela Abdon. In South Africa,

wealth is never decreased by given Satoko one lies true. While lie I swear by Allah. It's true.

And you know what you have to think about it. When you spin,

you give $1,000 for Aetna or $10,000 for Aetna or 100,000 Donald's

you got to look at it as a lesson Quran as I mentioned when that 20 Come in hiding for the unforeseen, whatever

you spend, have good is for yourself.

Don't look at it as spending.

Rather, looking at it as a deposit.

You go to the bank,

you have a savings account.

You put money in a savings account.

You know, it's there for you.

When you give sadaqa

Give it today, no doubt.

Don't be stingy.

See, the proof of these bonuses is the Prophet peace and blessings be upon them. Leslie la Rasulullah he is Salah Salem che and Kata for call Allah. The Prophet never, ever said no.

He never said no people ask him, he never said no. Because he understands

it's only a deposit.

You're going to get it back.

And Allah is going to multiply it in such a way that you spend something so small. It will grow into size of a mountain.

That's the way it is

for it, you know, they say about athletes like Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan. They were so good. And they used to say, the left they're all on the field. Would that mean that means that they gave everything they could, again, a basketball game, a football game, a baseball game, they left it out on the field, they get everything they had.

When you see the Prophet peace and blessings be upon him, literally. He gave everything that he had you study Sahaba to give what they had.

You think about that. When the Prophet alayhi salat wa salam died.

Would he have left?

million dollars $2 million.

What

know

his weapon

a white new

in some land that they gave away in Saudi.

He left they're all in the field.

We thought

we're gonna die. Human beings die Kudo. Lovcen Vikatan. Now Petia all tastes of death.

But institutions shall live on after us. Measured harm is their

profits mastered is their measure the OXA is there were gone. The people that built them are gone. But it's a less than legacy.

I ask Allah bless Edna to be around for 1000s and 1000s and 1000s of years.

Probably will not going to be around to see it. But they will still be doing good. Still benefiting the people

seeking reward from Allah on the one hand,

but on the other hand doing it because it's right is the fifth. It's in our very nature. Allah bless you to have it. May Allah bless you. I love you. And love the work of Edna anonymous components. Keep up the great work. Salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
