00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			Well, I will
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			literally
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:13
			feed me the hall fee. That was early
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:22
			on Dongho ala you came home in a mobile setting in
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:30
			Abu Dhabi learn him in a shaytani R rajim Bismillah AR Rahman AR Rahim what I'm
		
00:00:32 --> 00:01:21
			gonna call my Dianna Kala and be very DNA Diani. So as we said at the level Allium Subhanallah, the
deal just gets so much more captivating, amazing, and I hope you are appreciating the beauty and the
richness of the Quran. So responding to the sentiments of this very sincere, genuine well wisher,
and honestly today, my brother and my sister, rarely can you find people that are sincere well
wishes they are definitely there. But however, share the Mattoon Callie loon they are few in number
they are few in number. Often when today people would give you something which superficially might
have the flavor of your interests. It could be diluted or tainted with some ulterior or sinister
		
00:01:21 --> 00:02:10
			agenda. May Allah grant us purity of intention and purity of motives. Amin yorubaland Amin. Okay, so
yes, there is this cloud of uncertainty hanging and Musa alayhis salam has to leave in the cover of
darkness, he needs to sneak out, discreetly, and probably many of us might have a recollection,
either the sudden termination of a job or something went pear shaped in a union and relationship.
And no longer was that family, your family now. Or you had to leave an institution or you had to
leave a location or you had to leave. You were evicted by a landlord and where you had spent your
years and those emotions can only be appreciated by the one who has experienced that it's the one
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:21
			who loses. His duvet that feels the cold the one who loses the duvet feels the cold. It's easy to
for someone else to say who hasn't lost his debate as the proverb goes.
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:32
			So verse number 22, Allah subhanaw taala sketches that image, appreciate this. Sedna Musa is alone,
but like I always say, and I've tweeted this year.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:03:18
			If you have Allah with you, then you won't be lonely, though you might be alone. Yes, did you hear
that my brother and my sister, if you have Allah with you, meaning you have not disobeyed your
creator, you are obeying Allah your reliance is on Allah. You will not be lonely though you might be
alone. There are many people out there that by circumstances are living alone, but they're not
lonely. And there are other people who are living sinful lives and there are many people around
them, but within their own hearts, they are lonely. You read and view and listen to the tales, the
stories of celebrities, prominent affluent people, high fliers, who had everything going in their
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:31
			life. And there was a void there was a vacuum there was a sense of emptiness but what hang on you
fill in the stadiums you fill in the theaters, you fill in the shows, you've got so many people
behind you.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:04:16
			Despite the numbers with you, there's a sense of loneliness that's, that's irrefutable. I have seen
this year, it's a common thread that is found across all these people who are searching for Dean or
searching to become you know, more reformed in their religion, meaning non Muslims coming into the
Dean reverting to the dean, or Muslims who are unfortunately not practicing in the deen. Each one of
them would would tell you 10 things but out of the 1010 one would definitely be I had fame, I had
glory, I had wealth, I had popularity. But there was just the sense of emptiness, a sense of
emptiness, read it, I see. And every one without exception speaks about this year. So that's my
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:49
			message. And I often say this an advocate this year, if you have Allah with you, you won't be
lonely, though you might be alone. And if you don't have Allah with you, then even if you have
multitudes of people around you, within your own life, you will be a lonely soul. So yes, even mo
Salah is salatu salam heads out and of course he has the guidance and the protection of Allah
subhanho wa Taala Allah, Allah said to Satan or Musa that when you were in the basket, actually
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:59
			you know what to rob ah, Allah it was well it was not happy. I knew that you would be nurtured in my
care and you
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:42
			In my protection, Allah said to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam for in Nickleby at a uni now
for in Nickleby. A union was a big behind there a big arena to whom you are in my case and in my
protection. So let's see what happens now. Heading out to Medion not like phoning someone, listen,
I'm coming to you. I'm going to put up at your place. Please help me what happened? I'll tell you
later. And an argument with my family. You know what, we had a breakup at home and there's this
marital feud. No, no, no heading out lonely. Allah directs him. And instinctively, the coordinates
go in the direction towards Medina, because this is where Allah subhanho wa Taala had planned. When
		
00:05:42 --> 00:06:26
			Allah plans it, it's just going to happen that way, my brother and my sister said, No Musa said now
use of a Salam is a stone's throw from his dead in the well of Egypt and say now Yaqoob alayhi salam
has no clue, no clue where his son is. And then when Allah decides the reunion of Father and Son,
and is at a distance of eight days, or 10 days or even beyond, according to the different historical
narrations set nyako is like in nila jidori Her use of Listen people I get the scent and the aroma
and the fragrance of my son use of Lola and Tiffany doon provided you don't think I'm old and aged
frail and senile, that I'm just uttering things, but I'm telling you, I can actually get the scent.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:07:18
			So a distance of more than 10 days and he gets the aroma of his son. And prior to that his son was
was dropped into the weld, which was in close proximity, but but he did not get the smell of his son
because at that time, the decree of destiny was separation. And when Allah had ordained the reunion,
then a sham Mullah who re how you sofa Allah subhanaw taala allowed say either nyako balita salam to
get the fragrance of his son use of not withstanding the distance. Okay, so first 23 Follow along.
Wow. And let's just tie it up with the context of courses in OBE and Chef Abul Hassan Ali nadwi
Rahim Allah Allahu Ramadan was the year we have it, while Amara dama Amma Dianna wa Giada Isla de
		
00:07:18 --> 00:08:05
			Mina Nasir spoon. So Musa Ali salatu salam takes the name of Allah and he travels Gela Lane says it
was approximately eight days. Allah alone knows how he survived. I didn't come across anything in
any narrations that explain or give context or meaning. But as the ruling of the Quran, or as the
advice of the scholars of the series, I became uma Bahama, who Allah, if Allah has left something
vague and ambiguous, leave it to that you don't need to probe it. And you don't need to unpack that.
If there was any discussion or reflection in it for our guidance, Allah subhanho wa Taala would have
discussed it. So the Quran fast forwards to the point of arrival into meridian. Now what's the first
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:12
			site that needs Musa alayhis salam when he arrives in Meridian was Salah Musa Illa Madeon la
		
00:08:13 --> 00:09:01
			wa Redfoo hudon he arrives in Meridian, and he doesn't know a soul there. nor is anyone in this
place familiar with Musa alayhis salam for me yet we lay here filet Aina Joby. So where does he go?
Who does the phone? Where does it take shelter? You know, sometimes a person won't listen, I'm in
stranded I'm in a difficulty. I've got some financial constraints, can you just help me out? I'll
sort you out. I'll talk to you later. I just need some help immediately. The Euro Musa what I can
know a corner and Allah Allah you'll be who he had reliance and your opinion and trust that Allah
subhanho wa Taala will make a way for him. Anyway, when he arrives there, one of the first sight
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:53
			that meets his eyes is a well, when Amma whare Dhamma. I met the and when he arrived at the water of
Meridian, when Amma whare Dhamma mediana wa Jeddah Isla de matar Mennonites he has scored and he
found a group of people that will give him water to their flock, they were given water to their
flock, while we're Jedermann Tony Imamura attain it to do that, and he found besides the flock
besides the men that were giving their flock water to woman to man, they were restraining themselves
keeping their distance. They were standing aside aloof. So he's entered. He sees a well he sees a
flock This is the first site you know you'd you talk of? You've moved into the city and I'm staying
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:59
			here for so many years but I won't forget my first moment. The day I came. I remember distinctly it
was a Monday. It
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:22
			was early morning. It was a cloudy day. There was rain and thunder. It coincided with the death of
this person. You have these nostalgic memories to that place. So he enters into Meridian in which
Allah has decreed his his wedding and a stay here for him for a lengthy period of time but we'll
discuss this year, but this is the first site of flock
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:34
			a group of people what they flock giving it water and he finds two women to do Danny, they are, you
know, standing aside aloof and holding back their flock.
		
00:10:36 --> 00:11:26
			What 10 Who were tentatively Irani and yesterday a nurse and they waiting, patiently holding on to
their flock, that the shepherds can give water to their flock and then they will go forward. Or Musa
Danica will be probably 100 Will Kareem was shafa. To Abdul Rahim. Sedna, Musa observed this year,
that people are busy they and grace the moving back and forth giving it moving on. And he finds two
young sisters woman, very modest, bashful, respectful, standing at the side, and in his heart was
empathy and kindness. So this triggered an emotion of care for these woman. And there's so much we
can discuss and we need to discuss and recently I spoke about this and I credit the credit this to
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:30
			the Almighty for putting the story in my heart and my mind.
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:41
			Appreciate the time in which say dinner, Musa is offering K kindness help and assistance to the
vulnerable, the weak. And
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:51
			these young two sisters, he's doing it at a time when he needs more help than them.
		
00:11:52 --> 00:12:37
			You are tired. There was a warrant of arrest against you. You had to flee from your native place.
You haven't eaten for a days, you haven't had adequate shelter, you haven't rested properly. So you
are more vulnerable than them. You need more help than them. And hence I say my brother and I appeal
to you, my sister. Perhaps the help you are waiting for is actually waiting for you to help someone
else who's more desperate than you. And that would be the catalyst for goodness to come in your
life. I know you're waiting for someone to knock your door and give you good news coming up the near
jewel Bashara. Abdullah who Lazzara will come in Abdi near gelato for you to level Bella, the Arabic
		
00:12:37 --> 00:13:15
			poet says people get up in the morning hoping Oops, there's a beep on the phone. I just when
somebody wants to give me a gift or acknowledge me or somebody's invited me, or I got a
complimentary ticket or I got a free holiday. On the reverse. You get an alert to say you owe him
money. Or you know what, there's bad news. There's been an accident, you're hoping for a pleasant
discovery. And on the reverse. It is something nasty. I know you're hoping for a miracle and I'm
also hoping you're dreaming and I'm fantasizing you optimistic and I'm in wishful thinking. But hang
on, you're we get a message. Maybe it's time for us to reach out to someone who's more desperate,
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:59
			who's more vulnerable. And that would be the catalyst to attract good. So listen along. mousseline
salaam observes these two women, they standing aside, not withstanding, in my analogy is simple. You
alight? A long haul a 14 hour flight, at that time when you get off and remember, you're traveling
in relative comfort, but it's just different time zones. It's, you know what? The cabin pressure,
your mind is caught up, you need to get to your hotel settle in. Do you have the mind and the
thought to help someone at the airport, who probably is trying to find his terminal or his gate? And
I often say this Yeah, one of the acts of Ibadah that we can do at an airport is to take people help
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:39
			people. Sometimes you would find old people and I say this in gratitude to the Almighty. I have in
my humble ability only as a motivation to others. I'm saying this here, help elderly people. The
person is lost. He broke away from his group. He doesn't understand which terminal which gate, which
flight he is not literate enough. He cannot tie up his boarding pass correctly. Help the man don't
tell him just walk here. Take the escalator, take the elevator hop onto a train. It will take you to
the next terminal. Walk the man to his gait and this is a great act of everybody. This is a great
act of Rebadow but how many of us would have the time and the energy to do that? When we alight a
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:49
			flight? No because we're so tired. We need the bathroom. We need a washroom we need a bed we're Musa
alayhis salatu salam empathy is just indescribable.
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:59
			So what were gentlemen Dhoni him Oh Murata UNITA do Carla, Mahatma bukhoma Carla Malhotra bukhoma
What's the matter with you?
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:48
			Two sisters like why alone you're standing waiting patiently to see the element of kindness. And I
often say and again Allah puts this thought in my mind, today we prey on the vulnerable p r e, why,
if only we can convert that E into A and we start praying for the vulnerable it will change the
world completely different. Yes, we see two young sisters there, we exploit it, we exploit it and
unfortunately this has happened and it's so important. I mean, if you're traveling at airports you
would observe it's so important I myself have ever observed these type of encounters you know and
that is why it is important to protect your female and the woman folk just stand in a loop
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:53
			immediately somebody would come and make some advancement and back off man, what are you up to?
		
00:15:54 --> 00:16:35
			So sadly, today we live in a world where it is p r e, why prey on the vulnerable? If only we can
convert that E into A and we start playing for the vulnerable then you're the planet will be a
different place. Look at Musa well this was a newbie in the making. Mahatma bakoma are sisters. What
is the matter? Carlita Alana speak who said you cannot assist help empower Islam gives you
guidelines Islam gives you rulings Islam gives you context, but within the parameters and within the
boundaries by all means help the poor and the vulnerable help the weak and the destitute help those
who need your support.
		
00:16:37 --> 00:17:23
			That is why in Islam, there is the ruling of the male Muharram and the scholars say that if that
male Muharram himself poses a threat, then he would not suffice as the ruling of a Muslim. So a male
Muharram is there to protect to safeguard the honor the dignity of that sister of the daughter of
that wife of that mum of that sister. But if he himself unfortunately, is guilty of you know what,
last fall advancements and he himself poses a threat, then he is no Muharram because he's offering
no protection. In fact, there is fear from him. May Allah guide and protect one and all marketable
kkOma What is the matter? Oh, two sisters Carlota. They both replied, learners see, we cannot give
		
00:17:23 --> 00:18:08
			our flock water hotter until you stare or read till the shepherd's return. So it doesn't mention the
biannual Quran due to modesty. If we're going to get into the crowd, then we're going to be rubbing
shoulders with the men that are there. And of course, our modest nature, our best full composition
just wouldn't allow for that. And it's almost like the sense that Satan or Musa was going to ask the
next question. While you're all those that are here I've been represented by the men folk and the
male members of the family to come and do this audio stars. I mean, taking the flock coming in
giving it its its its audience, it's not easy and simple. A woman has been referred to in the
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:48
			Hadith, and Joshua and just out of a Allahu Anhu used to sing along when the camels were moving. And
so the woman were mounted on and then like, you know, people whistle at the dogs or people have a
certain lyric towards the horse, or whatever the animal is. And so and just out of the Allahu Anhu
started singing something along, and this would, you know, stimulate the camels and they started
moving with a swift pace. And that being said, Allahu alayhi wa sallam said riff come build cover,
he'll riff comm will cover real oh and Joshua gradual, slowly take it easy. You know what we have
precious cargo on this camera here. This is glass, the Prophet sallallahu wasallam reference woman
		
00:18:48 --> 00:19:34
			to be glass. Why? Because of the fragile nature. This is how he elevated, honored, respected and
dignified them. And then you have the audacity to accuse Islam of misogyny and call the Prophet
sallallahu wasallam. A misogynist hogwash. And I'm not even targeting the non Muslim who blurts what
he wants to I'm saying to you, my Muslim Sister, don't be a victim of this indoctrination. And don't
be a victim of this propaganda. Look at DEED with a clear lenses and understand what Allah has laid
out for you is wholesome is meaningful is rich, you are unique in your own way. While tetraman No my
football Allah who behaved Baba Comala above and let not the males aspire to be like females and let
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:59
			not the females aspire to be like males. Literally journey in asleep on me MCDA Cebu we're in Nyssa
in Cebu McKesson, for the men, they will be rewarded for the good that they do for the woman they
will be compensated for the merit that they achieve. What's Allah hummin firstly, and collectively
all of us ask Allah for his boon blessing and favor pilota learners to use there are the world
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:45
			Boehner che Han kabhi we cannot go in that crowd. There are many of them, and we cannot rub
shoulders with them. And as for our dad, he is really old and elderly and senior, so he cannot come
out. We leave it on that note, we have a diet hungry, say dinner Musala. His Salatu was Salam who
hasn't slept for eight days conservatively that is the shortest duration explained between the two
cities hasn't had a you know, an adequate meal or any rest. And this is what he observes the
desperation of two vulnerable sisters. Let's wait and see what unfolds. May Allah bless us to learn
from the rich lessons of the Quran Amenia Bill Alameen
