00:02:28 --> 00:02:31
			every time we go back and study
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:40

00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			in this very famous Hadith
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:50

00:10:40 --> 00:10:42
			never the Messenger of Allah
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:51
			30 companions of the message and
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:53
			so
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:55
			on
		
00:10:58 --> 00:10:58
			and
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:06
			of themselves
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:13
			Wait a minute, you tell me that some of the most common companions were afraid
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:30
			oh
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:49
			I've come to the conclusion
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54
			feel nervous,
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:56
			anxious
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:00
			Would you talk about
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:04

00:12:15 --> 00:12:18
			with a lot give us the good news
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:20
			right now.
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:27
			Whenever
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:30
			we see
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:48
			melodica was dangerous you know
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:53
			he was home with his wife
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:57
			and heard about
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:02
			and left his home before he goes
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:03
			and
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:13
			then the Prophet peace and blessings upon said I saw the angels watching him and given him a
football
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:18
			harmonica, he was the key
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:21
			I gotta, I gotta,
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:23
			I gotta
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:26
			I gotta
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:28
			listen to what
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:36
			he says that we are with the Messenger of Allah.
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:50
			He reminds us of the gentleman
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:59
			in our pocket, we
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:06
			we feel the same thing. So what did they do? They went to the messenger.
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:19
			If you remember
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:30
			the same way you do in my presence, the ages would shave your hair in your bed, or on rows.
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:59
			If you permit me Can I take about three minutes some big use case
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:08
			Would you?
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:11
			would you know?
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:14
			So? Yes. So yes.
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:21
			And why would you do this because
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:33
			you will start sweating.
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:40
			Let me just reiterate.
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:46
			I was at the University of Ohio,
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:50
			and I had lunch with the Muslim students.
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:55
			What motivates you the most
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:58
			is the fear
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:03
			in the system.
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:15
			What really
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:27
			got us?
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:36
			Let's see what
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:38
			they say.
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:44
			The law is the beginning of wisdom.
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			Now, when we talk about fear,
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:11
			consciousness
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:35
			was
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:43
			an optimist.
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:56
			African American communities. At some point, our mothers and fathers didn't beat us. They just look
at us.
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:07
			You talk about
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:12
			sweating, I would be sweating with my mother.
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:18
			My mother was a big woman
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			to be an old man
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:40
			a lot.
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:44
			But she he or not, and I was
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:46
			in one way
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:48
			or the other day.
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:53
			How was your day was used?
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:55
			You know?
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:57
			She says.
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:21
			But now
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:26
			I want to take a moment. First to say
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:40
			to better know that Allah is strong.
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:50
			What are the
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:58
			chances
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:01
			Those who reject Allah
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:04
			won't be the size
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:07
			of
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:10
			the Prophet peace
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:13
			he says
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:18
			there will be the size of
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:24
			and the distance between the shoulders of a camel
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:28
			is three days
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:38
			have you ever had
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:52
			your nerves The reason that you feel pain is because you got nurse
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:55
			or nurse you don't feel pain
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:58
			I read
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:06
			to have
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:11
			an animal that Allah has taken upon himself to give a substance
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:26
			win
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:38
			the size of
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:45
			his creatures
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:51
			3
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:01
			million a day
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:10
			because
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:14
			people will be so
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:16
			thirsty
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:30

00:22:32 --> 00:22:33
			is so bitter
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:49
			Yeah, despite eating all that food
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:52
