00:01:42 --> 00:01:43
			in the dunya.
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:49
			And I remember many songs that I used to listen to when I was young.
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:56
			And one of the songs was this. What's love got to do with it?
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:03
			I said to myself, when the man hears this and hear the football he's gonna Google
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:08
			to find out what's love got to do with it.
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			And he surprised me.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			He knew the person who sang the song
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			says
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:20
			I saw you serious.
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:25
			So this is what I want to talk about today. What law has to do with it?
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:30
			The answer is
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			everything.
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35
			Today is good.
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:45
			Everything is about love and this is what I want to leave you with. I want to leave you with some
work to do I don't want you to just to listen to the football to be entertained.
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:58
			I want you to take something from it. Because the more you study Islam you find out everything has
to do with love.

00:05:01 --> 00:05:09
			A conversation between the Prophet peace and blessing be upon them. And Omar Abdullah Han 1400 years
ago.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:13
			Omar says to the Prophet Alayhi salat wa salam,
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:18
			ala rasulillah Huggy Lamin Cooley, Shane, il NFC,
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:29
			O Messenger of Allah, you are more beloved to me than anything else,
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			except myself.
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:35
			That's a powerful statement
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41
			to me than anything else except myself.
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:50
			All of enough sitting here,
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:55
			I swear by him and whose hand my life is,
		
00:05:56 --> 00:06:01
			until I am more loved by you than yourself.
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:03
			What?
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:06
			And then almost
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:09
			an will lie.
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:14
			You are more beloved to me, then myself.
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:16
			And the Prophet said,
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:21
			Allah and Yama now.
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:38
			You see, the Imam will tell you there's a movement around the world. They call themselves and Cora
Nia Al Quran iya These are the people these are Muslims who say we don't need Hadees
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:44
			we don't need Hadees All we need is the Quran. Really?
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:50
			You think you can practice Islam without Hadees Really?
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:56
			All we need is the Quran. You believe that for sure.
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59
			All right, let's see
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:04
			five prayers a day beginning with fauja
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:09
			I mean rocket you make you make two or you know the Quran don't say
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			for rockets for for how we do
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:22
			see rockets for for for for for Asia for for us. Hi.
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:29
			Oh, we have to do Hodge, you Nick Hodge, when do you begin? How'd you
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:32
			How you doing?
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:38
			How many times you go around the copper. Buddha PJ suffered a murder we're going to
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:51
			go on to lose della fat you tell me for following the Quran itself. Because the Prophet peace and
blessings be upon him. He explains the Quran the Quran was revealed to him and he explains it
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:55
			for Luca naraku.
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:59
			Morning Sunday the prophecy prays you see me pray.
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:02
			Then Allah says the ultimate
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:09
			compliment to the Prophet peace and blessings be upon. Now you tiraspol fukada Allah,
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:15
			whoever obeys the messenger has in fact will be it alone.
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:20
			So ask myself the question why did the Prophet tell Omar
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:26
			that no, no Omar? Will you don't have full faith?
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:31
			Unless I am more beloved to you than yourself.
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34
			You know, the Prophet peace and blessings be upon him.
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:39
			He doesn't follow his own desire
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:41
			is nothing but
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:56
			what you can when you get a chance not now but I want you to go to the ninth chapter of the Quran in
the 24th verse. This explains why the Prophet peace and blessings be upon them told oma
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:03
			not until I am more loved by you than yourself. This explains why
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:08
			some will go into details or just say quickly cool in Kenya
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:14
			as Raja Kumar so you have to either
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:26
			say, Allah is telling the prophet to say if it is that you love your fathers, and your children, and
your brothers and your wives,
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:41
			and your near relatives, and the wealth that you have gained, in the businesses that you fear
decline in your homes that you love. It was more beloved to you that Allah
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44
			His Messenger,
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:52
			His Messenger, Allah wants you to love the Prophet more than we love ourselves.
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:55
			It makes sense.
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			So brothers and sisters, too.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:05
			Today I want to leave you with this. Number one. Love one another.
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:14
			No, I should say number one to love Allah and His messenger. And then to love one another.
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:18
			There is one brother
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:35

can say what no one else can say Yes, me and he mama Suraj we were friends in the dunya we're best
friends. We play basketball together.
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:39
			We went to parties together.
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:53
			I was in college, and I introduced them to one of my friends in college and she became his wife.
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:59
			But you know what? All those years we know each other.
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:03
			Now we love each other FISA de la

00:12:05 --> 00:12:10
			who tell me Yes ma'am. Suras I'm a Muslim. So that's good.
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:13
			Do you pray? No.
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:16
			But don't pray but I believe
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:19
			for you.
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:21
			Impossible
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:31
			it's impossible for you to really believe and you don't make a lot I'm shocked when I learned that
there are people don't make a lot how do you not make a lot
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:36
			the Prophet peace and blessings be upon him.
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:43
			Amen came to him he wanted to learn about Islam.
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:50
			And the Prophet said comes the Sunnah what five prayers a day
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:52
			listen to what he said
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:57
			nothing more than a five prayers a day
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:06
			no except what is extra and then the Prophet said cmo Ramadan is coming soon in the month of
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:15
			Ramadan fasting in the month of Ramadan hallelujah guiro who is anything more than this fast Ramadan
Kala
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:28
			No, no. Except what is extra? And then the perfectly so that was an answer as a cat hallelujah guy
who has anything more color left.
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:48
			Except what is extra. So the man he turned around and walked away and said what lie lies he had?
Will ankle soo min Whoa. I swear by Allah I will neither increase nor decrease and the profit at
least that was an answered for the hand photocall
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52
			if he would do that
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:54
			he'd be successful.
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:57
			mandatory.
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:03
			I would argue that when you do the mandatory maybe you do because you feel alone.
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:07
			If I don't make Salah I say Allah
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:17
			on Yom Okayama the people in general will look down to people and Hellfire missiles aka soccer has
landed you in the Hellfire
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:27
			will not go so mate solok
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:29
			Inga no option.
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:39
			It is a loss, right? The hippie worship how he is to be worship. Five prayers a day you have to do
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:47
			it before the rise of the sun and you turn to an Kaaba and you pray to Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:54
			you can't get up to make prayer to Allah.
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:58
			You can fast in the month of Ramadan.
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:00
			You can
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:01
			gives a cat
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:05
			oh
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:07
			we're not doing a lot of favor
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:17
			Allah don't need us know that he need our salon also cat on cm you don't need us
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:21
			you cannot benefit Allah no Can you harm him?
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:26
			What It Is it is it is his right.
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:47
			So the Prophet peace and blessings be upon him he said there's nothing that brings a slave closer to
Allah than the fluoride you will get close to Allah make us a lot. You want to get close to Allah,
you fast in the month of Ramadan you want to get close to a lot you paid as a cat
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:52
			and then when a person does the noesis
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:55
			the extra
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:59
			Allah loves them
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:07
			you want to get closer to Allah so Allah love you for sure. In them there's another song
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:13
			and other song was and you may not know this one you may be too young for this one.
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:17
			It's um
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:21
			I'm gonna make you love me.
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:29
			There was a group call the Supremes, Diana Ross and the Supremes. Some of you shaking your head
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:33
			and, and the temptations.
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:41
			I'm gonna make you love me. I'm gonna do all the things for you. A man wants a woman to do
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:44
			another song.
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:55
			I Can't Make You Love Me. A third song. I can't make you love me. I'm saying today in this Masjid.
You can make a lot love you.
		
00:16:56 --> 00:17:00
			What you mean ma'am? What do you mean you can force a lot of love you. I don't mean that.
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:07
			I mean if you do this, Allah will love you. I give you 10 examples I give you maybe 312 or three
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:13
			cool and conform to HIPAA law. The only common law
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:18
			say Say Say Say if you love
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:27
			me, if you love Allah say this to say this to the people if you love Allah follow me
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:30
			of our love you.
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:45
			If you give me a sense, you want to get the love of Allah, Allah Muhammad peace unless I give you
another one. And Assad whom in the movement whether you give monastic men
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:50
			the answer, no one loves them but a believer
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:54
			in nun hates them but a
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:56
			hypocrite.
		
00:17:57 --> 00:18:04
			Whoever loves them, Allah loves whoever hates them. alights
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:14
			we can get Allah subhanho wa Taala to love us by doing those things that is pleasing to Him. In my
last point
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:18
			just in case you never forget this.
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:27
			It is impossible is impossible to love Allah more than Allah loves us.
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:31
			Some possible can do it
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:43
			because you see when you love someone is a manifestation is not lip service. So you can lip service
I love you. I love you I
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:46
			love you.
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:48
			Really
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:54
			easy to say. It's really easy to say
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:56
			but the manifested
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:58
			the answer.
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:02
			They love the mahogany.
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:07
			Answer wasn't the name that wasn't the name of a tribe. Allah gave them that name.
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:10
			I finished with this
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:30
			as our pseudo law he saw the law seldom been abroad men in alpha Saudi Arabia, and the profit made a
band of brotherhood between the Mahajan and the answer. After alpha Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia and
saw he says I am the wealthiest of the handsaw.
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:34
			the wealthiest no one has more than me.
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:38
			Take half my wealth.
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:45
			Can I give you a modern perspective? Bill Gates,
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:47
			probably the richest American
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:50
			telling
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:52
			him I'm
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:59
			gonna love you. I'm going to give you half my wealth.
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:04
			Normally, that would be something like $59 billion
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:06
			people give you
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:10
			this love the answer head for the Mahajan.
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:20
			So brothers and sisters on Let us love one another and let's do it for Allah only be one other thing
that has just happened is
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:27
			this a store that I go to brothers from Yemen that's not far from my house. It's a grocery store.
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:33
			And about a month ago, I saw an African American elderly woman
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:40
			in a in a recall those things sit in the walker Walker.
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:48
			And she's on the outside of the of the store. She has a cup. So she wants some charity.

			She needed it.
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:16

00:21:43 --> 00:21:56
			She went to the store. And she looked for that woman. She wanted to give us something just because
her husband gave it she understood the condition. Yesterday I'm coming from the masjid. I said, You
know what? It's raining. It's cold.
		
00:21:57 --> 00:22:01

00:22:06 --> 00:22:12
			Maybe she's dead today. And she saw it. And I gave another $50
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:17
			and you can see how light eyes they light up? Why do that? I don't know.
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:22
