Hey. One of the lessons we learned from

00:00:01 --> 00:00:03

these blessed 10 days is no matter how

00:00:03 --> 00:00:05

talented we are, if we don't put some

00:00:05 --> 00:00:08

common sense behind those talents, it could be

00:00:08 --> 00:00:09

it could be a disaster.

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11

And that's why you find a sultan Fajr

00:00:11 --> 00:00:13

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala after swearing by Fajr,

00:00:13 --> 00:00:16

after swearing by these 10 blessed days, after

00:00:16 --> 00:00:17

swearing by the odd and the even and

00:00:17 --> 00:00:19

the nights, he says,

00:00:22 --> 00:00:24

that in this indeed, isn't there a great

00:00:24 --> 00:00:26

oath for the person of hijir, the person

00:00:26 --> 00:00:29

who possesses hijir? Hijra means akel. It's also

00:00:29 --> 00:00:32

from the same word as a rock because

00:00:32 --> 00:00:34

just as a rock is used to stop

00:00:34 --> 00:00:36

and prevent and fortify things from happening,

00:00:36 --> 00:00:39

A righteous mind, a good mind, no matter

00:00:39 --> 00:00:41

how talented we are, should stop us from

00:00:41 --> 00:00:44

evil. That's why it's also called because the

00:00:44 --> 00:00:46

word is something that was used,

00:00:46 --> 00:00:47

Of course, we know this in the chalish

00:00:48 --> 00:00:49

till now, to tie a camel to keep

00:00:49 --> 00:00:51

it from going astray, so a good

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54

is one that keeps a person from falling

00:00:54 --> 00:00:55

into misguidance,

00:00:55 --> 00:00:57

and that's why we see the rest of

00:00:57 --> 00:00:58

the chapter talks about

00:01:00 --> 00:01:02

no matter how much talent they had, no

00:01:02 --> 00:01:03

matter how much strength they had, no matter

00:01:03 --> 00:01:05

how much military superiority

00:01:06 --> 00:01:07

and economic superiority

00:01:08 --> 00:01:08

they had,

00:01:09 --> 00:01:11

their minds weren't right, so their ends weren't

00:01:11 --> 00:01:12

right.
