00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			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.
