Suleiman Hani – A Truthful Heart, The Power of Sincerity

			Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah while early he was having a woman one, our
topic today is the power of sincerity the power of sincerity will be clear crystal clear as soon as
we get to the story and it is the climax, it is the pinnacle. It is the peak of this webinar
inshallah. Tada. So, are you ready for this? The introduction is very straightforward. Allah
subhanaw taala says in zona Lal Kitab will help the farmer de la moglie Swan London. Indeed we sit
down the book to you oh Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in truth. So worship Allah
alone, Motley Salahuddin being sincerely devoted to him now, we have Muslims from all over the world
		

			we have 2 billion Muslims and counting. The question is, are we as Muslims progressing in terms of
the level of sincerity that we have? We say we worship Allah alone. Islam means submission to Allah
submission with what submission with sincerity, submission with humility, you cannot submit to the
Creator of the heavens and the earth unless you have some humility and sincerity. So the condition
of acceptance is sincerely first and foremost. Now, you do an act of worship. You're praying, you're
fasting, you have good character, everything you're doing your life for Allah subhanaw taala Paulina
Salatin. So indeed my prayers when no Sookie my sacrifice or my worship, while my Aya woman Mati
		

			lillahi, Rabbil Alameen my death and my life are all for Allah subhanho wa taala. So you say, I'm
living for Allah, the condition of acceptance in general is that you are sincere, and specifically
with acts of worship, that you are sincere, and that it is done correctly, that the act of worship
is done correctly. So if lost in the Arabic language, that word that people usually refer to when
they talk about sincerity, it's, it gives the connotation of something that is so clear, you can see
through it. So sincerely here in terms of the state of your heart, is the alignment of the internal
and the external, in terms of goodness, sincerely, brothers and sisters, it is the fragrance of your
		

			heart. Some people love fragrances for the external, but they absolutely do not care and they
abandon and neglect the internal fragrance. Most Hadith books, and many books will start with an
emphasis on sincerity. I'll give you an example of a story here. This example. And again, I'm giving
you an example just to demonstrate a brother who shared his concern that he committed many sins.
I've heard this many times. He said, I've committed so many sins, and not that many good deeds is
like I have five prayers and that's it a day. And I'm barely like struggling to just fulfill these
five prayers, but I'm committing so many sins, I feel like I gossip a lot. I lie a lot. I listen to
		

			things I shouldn't listen to. He's like, I just I feel like I'm committing way more sins than good
deeds, and I'm trying to improve I am trying to repent. This was a beautiful opportunity. The next
time you think of this, or you know someone who is to remind them of the Hadith of the Prophet
salallahu Alaihe Salam that has good news for all people. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
said, Allah subhana, WA, tada has recorded good and evil deeds and made them all clear. Whoever
intends to perform a good deed, but does not do it. Allah will record it as a complete good deed. So
you intended for example, to bring a cup of water to your family member who is thirsty or to your
		

			parent, good deed. And along the way, something else interrupted you something else happened or they
got their own water, you're like, oh, Allah didn't work out. You still got the reward because you
intended it, although you did not do it yet. Were you sincere? Yes, you sincerely wanted to do it.
Now, ALLAH SubhanA, Allah tells us through the messenger, and it's a lot of serum, that if that
person intends to do it, and they go through with it, they actually are able to do it, Allah
subhanaw taala will record it, pay attention, this is going to just blow you away in terms of the
generosity of Allah, Allah will record it as 10 good deeds for one thing you did, or up to 700 times
		

			as much, or even more, Allahu Akbar, you can do a single good deed and be rewarded possibly 700
times as much because of the level of your sincerity and many other factors behind the scenes. And
then what happens here, Prophet salallahu alayhi salam says, Now if that servant intends to do
something evil, and then does not do it alone, subhanaw taala will record it for him as one complete
the deed. But why did they not do the sin, they stopped for the sake of Allah. They didn't stop
because let's say somebody opened the door so that they stopped talking to someone on the phone or
they were listening to something haram and somebody found them and then they change it to a Quran.
		

			Now they stopped a sin for the sake of Allah. So Allah Subhana Allah will give them a good deed.
This is someone who did not yet commit the sin. They intended to do something that but they did not.
If he does it, then Allah will record it for him as a single evil deed. A sin is going to be
punished with one one, basically, deed one savior. Whereas the good deed that you do and the good
deeds that you intended but could not do and you try your best, you'll be rewarded for it with a
multiplier of 10 minimum 700 Or even more is Alana generous.
		

			Now a lot of brothers and sisters ask and maybe some people here are wondering as well, how do you
know if you're sincere? What are some signs of sincerity? You look about everyday life and
everyone's doing their thing you're like, how many of us are actually being sincere and how many
people are insincere? What can you do? What can you observe privately between you and a lot to know?
So for example, some of the signs of sincerity will take place before you begin a task. You're about
to join this organization, you're about to give a charity, you're about to volunteer, you had a good
intention before you started, you went to a class to learn about Islam, Allah subhanaw taala is so
		

			merciful, He rewarded you for it before you even started the task itself. But then I want you to
think about this during the task during the act of worship. Even if you received praise from other
people, you stayed sincere. Here's an example. You go to the masjid you're praying. And as you're
praying, you notice from your peripheral vision, somebody walks into the masala and maybe they're
like looking at you know, your institute. But that person is like staring at you. You might think to
yourself, you know what I don't want to show off. So I'm going to make it very short. I don't want
to look like I'm too long sujood just because they're watching. So your thought is I don't want to
		

			be insincere. So you cut off the act of watching you rush it. But actually actually the commentary
for many of the earliest generations, they say what, renew your intention and elongate your sudo
take your time with it. You don't care about that person who's watching. At the end of the day,
Allah subhanaw taala is the only one who will reward you. So focus on Allah, Allah is the only one
who will reward you for your acts, acts of worship. So focus on Allah, Allah subhanaw. Taala is the
only one who will reward you and accept from you an act of worship. So focus only on Allah subhanho
wa taala. But then, of course, you might finish the task, and now you're receiving praise. Now
		

			there's a possibility of some kind of interference with your intention, keep renewing it. The
renewal of your intention is an act of worship. renewing your intention is an act of worship. That
pursuit of sincerity is an ongoing way of life for the believer. What else is a sign of sincerity, a
sign of sincerity is that you have private deeds, more than you're worried about what people see in
public? You might say, well, everything I do is almost in public La Ilaha illa Allah you know, what
you don't want to do is to pray pm will lay the night prayer, let's say for half an hour an hour you
got up at night just to pray family, and then to go on social media and write something like what
		

			hamdulillah for the opportunity prickly I'm a little hashtag road life. What are you doing with your
good deed? You're exposing it to all the other people on social media. So make it private? Make it
private? Hide it may Allah subhanaw taala protect us and grant us sincerely, Lama? I mean, here's a
principle if you want to keep this in mind. I think personally, I believe this is one of the easiest
things to keep in mind as a principle that will liberate your child in terms of the state of your
heart. Are you ready for this? All right. You know how you pray your Salah, sometimes in private,
many times, at home and other times in front of other people, whether with family or with community,
		

			in the masjid. Here's the principle. Make sure your prayer in private, is equal to or even better,
and it should be better than the prayer in public. But never worse. If your prayer in private is
worse than your prayer in front of other people. It's a very dangerous thing. Why? Because you're
saying you're applying that the only audience here that matters are the people that watch you but
not Allah subhanaw taala May Allah forgive us all and guidance. Make sure your prayer in private is
equal to or much better than the prayer in public but never worse. Remember this principle. This is
one of the signs that you are trying to remain sincere and you're not giving up. What else can you
		

			do a sign of sincerity is that when people advise you, you're very welcoming. They're welcoming
people are advising you Why Are you welcoming? Because when it comes to sincerity, you want to
improve, you want to grow, you want to become a better person. And so naturally, if you're sincere,
yes towards Allah, Allah, I want to become a better believer, then naturally when people advise you,
you should at least consider what they are saying. Thank them for it and then reflect on it in
private, is there something I can change? Is there something that I can do? This is something that
we should keep in mind. I'm also passionate that America sincerely and to reflect on the internal
		

			state a lot. Sometimes you'll see people on social media, masha Allah, they are going after everyone
attacking everyone criticizing everyone. But when people try to reach out to them, scholars have
reached out to them derived students of knowledge will reach out to the million friends and family.
They're afraid to advise them or they're not able to advise them because that person is so arrogant,
refusing to be advised. They're very harsh, very hard hearted, and they're not focused on their
internal shortcomings and their internal state. And that is a very dangerous thing to do. And in
fact, we're talking here about sincerity. We're talking with a state of the heart, may Allah protect
		

			the soul, a sign of true faith and a sign of humility is that you are receptive and you focus a lot
on your shortcomings, rather than making it a way of life to always be criticizing other people's
state. And sometimes it's not even accurate based on some external interpretation. That is
		

			While the Prophet sallallahu wasallam gives us good news here, you know how today with social media
and the world that we're in people are very superficial. People are focused on the external things.
It's very superficial society today, may Allah protect us on many parts of society and social media,
the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam says in the law, hella young law, you know, sort of Allah
subhanaw taala does not look at your appearance were unwelcome or your wealth, meaning it's not
about the size of your house, it's not about the brand name, shirt or purse or watch or whatever
else you have. It's not about your physical appearance, obviously take care of your appearance in
		

			general, but it's not about your appearance. So people's perspectives on your beauty are handsome,
this does not matter with regards to your true state of faith. Well, I can yonder or either Kuru
become America. However, Allah looks at your hearts and your actions. So your actions have to be
correct. And the state of your heart has to be sincere. And hypocrisy is when there is a clash
between the two people act like they're Muslim, obviously, they're the larger type of major
hypocrisy, and that is an
		

			equality, the hypocrisy of beliefs. And then you have an effect calamity, right? The hypocrisy of
actions in some Muslims may fall into this May Allah protect us all. But what what we were led to
here is a story one of the most important stories in the authentic tragic tradition from the Prophet
salallahu Alaihe Salam, and really tells us about the power of sincerity. This is a story that you
should always reflect on when it comes to how sincere Are you in terms of your relationship with
Allah subhanho wa taala. And you may again, sometimes overthink it, if you're being sincere and
other people No, that's fine. Just keep going with your act of worship. If you're being sincere,
		

			somebody notices your act of worship, that's okay. If you go to somebody's house and you say, is
there a place that I can pray that's not showing off you legitimately need to pray, don't worry
about what they think. But you're focused on something you are in need of doing for the sake of
Allah subhanaw taala so don't overthink it either. Because some sometimes shape on will distract
people. And in fact, take them away from acts of worship because they they're worried about showing
off. Keep doing acts of worship for the sake of Allah renewing your intention, ask Allah for
acceptance. But let's get to the story. This is the culmination of our talk. And the crux of it all.
		

			It's a very lengthy Hadith many of you have heard this many times before. Abdullah bin or model the
Allahu Anhu. I reported, the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, while three men
were walking, they were overcome by rain, and they took refuge in a cave in a mountain. So this
isn't a story of the three men in the cave. They took refuge in a cave in a mountain, and then a
boulder fell over the opening of the cave, blocking them inside now they're in this cave because
they needed shelter from the rain, and a boulder is completely blocking them inside they're not able
to leave. So one of them said to the others, think about the good deeds you've done for ALLAH
		

			SubhanA wa Tada that you may call upon Allah subhanaw taala by them for perhaps he will relieve you
meaning what? Here's the solution, one of them thought of how about we think about acts of worship
that we did sincerely for the sake of Allah and maybe if we ask Allah subhanaw taala through and by
means of those acts of worship, and we were actually sincere, then perhaps that will be the reason
that today we are saved because they're blocked, and they're trapped in a cave. What else are we
going to do that so this is a solution and this presents to us what we'll talk about later,
inshallah Tada, which is to listen through a sincere act of worship, we'll talk about that means at
		

			the end inshallah. Okay, so what happens? They think, and I'm commenting on the Hadith here, they
reflect, and eventually the first one of them makes Do you are you listening to this, this is going
to ensure time motivate us. So one of them said, Oh, Allah is making you are Oh ALLAH. I had two
elderly parents, as well as a wife and a young child, and I tended to a flock. And when the evening
came, I milked the animals. And I served my parents first before my child. One day, one day I went
in search of father and I did not come back until it was evening. And I found both of them his
parents sleeping. So I had milk milk, as I had done before meaning I brought the milk. And he said,
		

			I stood by their heads, many I stood by their where they were sleeping, for I hated to disrupt their
sleep, or to serve my child before serving both of my elderly parents. My child was crying nearby.
And yet I continue standing over my parents nearby meaning until they approach them dark. And then
the man said, y'all Allah, if you know that I did that seeking your countenance meaning, for your
sake, sincerely, if you know that I did this act of worship sincerely for your sake. Yeah, Allah
didn't relieve us of this distress, that we may at least see the sky that the key was completely
blocked. And then the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam said what the DUA was accepted what happened?
		

			Allah shifted the boulder until they could see the sky meaning now there's a slight opening
		

			But still they cannot escape the second of the three men that made a DUA. And I just want to give a
heads up here, because this is a diverse audience in terms of age, I will be very cautious with my
words, this second man made dua, now he needs to have an act of worship that he did sincerely for
the sake of Allah to make dua through it. So he says, oh, Allah, I had a cousin whom I loved more
than any man could love women. He said, I presented myself to her and she refused unless I could
give her 100 coins, meaning almost I paid her, by the way commentary here, why did she say,
stipulate that she was extremely, extremely poor, and she had no other source of income? She needed
		

			the money. And so she was in a state of distress. Is it justified? Islamically it's not justified.
But what is this man doing? This man is taking advantage of her in a vulnerable state. So she said,
Okay, give me 100 coins, meaning, basically pay me for this to be with her. And again, I'm being
very cautious with my words, and I'm paraphrasing. So he said, I worked hard until I gathered 100
coins, and I brought them to her. He said, When I prepared myself to do whatever it was with her,
again, I'm paraphrasing the Hadith. When they were about to do what they were about to do, she said
to him, or servant of Allah, fear Allah and do not break this, do not do this, without the right to
		

			do so meaning without being married to it, don't do this without being married to me, don't do this
without the right that is going to allow you to do this. So she said Fear on law. He said, I stood
and then I left her, your wife, you know that I did this for your sake. If I left her just for your
sake, Alma, then relieve us of this distress. And then again, what happened? The Prophet salallahu
alayhi salam said the boulder shifted a bit, meaning Allah relieve them once again. So it shifted
again. Now they can see a little more of the sky, but still they cannot escape.
		

			And then the last man made dua, he said, Oh Allah, I employed a worker for a portion of rice. When
he finished his work, he said to me, give me what I deserve. So he hired someone, and that man was
supposed to get paid. The man said, Give me basically my payment. I offered his share to him, but he
didn't accept it. So he said, I continued planting his share. So he reinvested in the, in the
ground, and eventually grew, it grew and expanded so much, he said, until I had amassed until I
accumulated cows and flocks. So what that meant left of his share, grew as an investment became
something much more expensive, much more valuable. He said, and then finally a man came back to me,
		

			Allahu Alem, how long, one day that man comes back. And he says, fear Allah and do not violate my
rights. In other words, give me what you owe me from previously, from the time past. Let's say
somebody, you owe them $100, you took the $100, you invested it back into your business, and you
have maybe another, let's say, $100, or $1,000, whatever it may be, your business expanded now
became worth a million dollars. And then one day, the man comes back, and he says, give me my $100.
That's all you owed him back. And then the problem is now you reinvested it in something else in
this business in this land. Now it's worth let's say, $100,000, as an example, if you were sincere
		

			to Allah, you would tell that man, I used your money invested it as part of my business, and it's
worth a lot more, I'll give you the same percentage that you had before the same share. But I'm not
only gonna give you $100, because it's worth so much more. If you fear Allah subhanaw taala? That's
what you do. Is that an easy thing to do? financially? No, because the man came back for $100. Most
people today, like yeah, you only had $100 to give you back your $100? Well, you invested it. And so
out of sincerely, what did this man do? He said, Go to this part of my land, go to this cow, and its
flocks and take them all, basically take everything there. Imagine he pointed, said all of that is
		

			yours. The man said, fear Allah. And don't walk me Don't make fun of me, meaning I'm only coming for
my $100 my rice might whatever he actually ordered. I'm only coming for that. Don't make fun of me
and say, go ahead and take my whole business. He said, I'm not mocking you. I'm not making fun of
you take the cow and all of its flock. So the men like he eventually accepted, perhaps explain to
him what happened. He took the cow and the flocks. And he left he actually took that share that had
magnified over the years. Can you imagine how difficult it was for this individual, the businessman
to give it to him? And then he said, Yeah, Allah. He said, If you know I had done that, for your
		

			sake, then relieve us of what remains meaning the last part of the boulder that needs to move just
so we can escape. And the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam said, and then Allah relieve them of what
remains, and the Hadith of a hottie and their brothers and sisters. These are three men trapped in a
cave in what looks to be a scenario in which there is no way in the world you're going to be saved.
There is no way you're going to escape. The Boulder is blocking the mouth of the cave. And so it
looks like eventually they're going to maybe die of starvation if there's no other escape and it's a
small cave, Allah who and what will happen.
		

			They made dua to Allah and Allah Subhana Allah accepted
		

			a lot but it wasn't just a random to Allah help us, which is important in all situations, but it was
doing it through a sincere act of worship. What does that tell you? It tells you the title of our
webinar today. The power of sincerity, the power of sincerity, the power of sincerity, can never be
belittled, do not ever undermine the power of sincerity. The power of sincerity can move mountains
can move boulders, your sincerity can move planets obviously it's not you causing it but you're
sincerely as you call upon Allah through it and say Allah if you believe that what I did, if you
know that what I did was sincere for your sake, then yeah, Allah helped me you know, Allah helped me
		

			along helped me. This is a really important concept to keep in mind. Here's my question to you. If
you were trapped in the cave, as one of these three people, and you had to make dua, through a deed
that you knew was sincere and private, only for the sake of Allah subhana wa Tada. And it was very
sincere, is very true. There's no doubt you did it for the sake of Allah. You want to hope your
assignment what you want to write down privately, don't ever share this Inshallah, tada. Don't ever
share this information. You want to make sure you have something sincere with Allah. And not just
one but many. You want to have many secrets between you and Allah and they're in good secrets,
		

			secrets that perhaps Yes, you'll see the fruits of them in this life, but most importantly, on the
Day of Judgment, have a good secret with Allah have good secrets between you and Allah. And you'll
notice that your DUA is responded to in an expedited fashion sometimes in the fashion you need it
for in that moment, rather than being delayed for another time for your art is answered in many
different ways. You want to make sure if you were trapped in a cave, you handle sincere deeds that
yeah Allah if you know that I did those things sincerely for your sake, yell looks after me. And
don't do one or two things but many things continuously as a way of life. It is permissible to make
		

			dua through those sincere deeds. And again, this is one of the bases one of the Hadith that is a
proof of that and Allah knows best. What are some things you can do to attain sincerity? What what
is it that you can do? reflect critically on Allah, the majesty of the one you worship is important
to keep in mind if you worship along you study his names and attributes you fall in love with Allah,
you'll become more sincere you'll direct things towards him. But if your focus is your desire, your
agenda, your worldly state your materialism, you'll start to stray away from pleasing Allah Subhana
Allah may Allah protect us, what else can you do? Reflect on your deeds often? How many of your
		

			daily deeds from the time you wake up to the time that you sleep do you feel are for Allah, acts of
worship that are rituals like prayer, or general ways of life general habits, your studies your work
the raising of your child, consciously intend these for the sake of Allah and you will find some
benefit in it. And you will find the child to accept it and reward as well. What else can you do?
Number three is to reflect on the day of judgment and your meeting with Allah. When will you leave
this world? We are now almost at the end of this calendar year and the year has flown by just passed
by so quickly Subhan Allah and when we say the year flew by the reality is Ramadan is less than six
		

			months away already. Ramadan is around the corner will blink and many of us will make it turn them
on and perhaps some others will not be there may Allah Subhana Allah allow us to make it and accept
those who passed away before then, as shahada May Allah grant them shahada, Mamma mia, what can you
do reflect on your meeting with Allah consistently throughout life, engage in a lot of is still far,
a lot of tilbyr a lot of repentance, almost focus on your private state a lot and don't keep
yourself occupied with what people see. Sometimes mental health is affected when people are chasing
constantly chasing after validation from others. So some people will only pursue an educational
		

			career or a degree or certificate just because one of the factors in their mind is what will other
people say how will other people feel some people act a certain way just because of that some people
will get married or have kids just because of that you're doing these things for the sake of Allah
forget people, it's just you and Allah subhanaw taala and when you're about to pray, think about
that. It's you and Allah, you're having this conversation. And when you die in your in your grave,
you want your good deeds to come to you, to protect you to shame you to intercede for you on the Day
of Judgment. You want all of that so be sincere today, sincerely today towards a lot leads to a
		

			decrease in regrets and consequences in the next life. A decrease when it comes to hardship of the
pain of regret. The more you are sincere today the less you're afraid on the day of judgment the
more you're sincere towards a lot today and you act upon it sincerely, the less you have to fear in
the grave or on the day of judgment and the less you have to experience of discomfort may Allah
protect us all have a lot of private deeds between you and Allah private deeds no one knows about
your night prayer your charity or easy ones even fasting at times helping other people help people
and don't always advertise it help people and don't always post it on social media. Sometimes we
		

			want to inspire people sure that's not a problem at times you can do that inshallah Tada and it
should be done with sincerity but don't make that your driving factor don't make that the reason
you're helping other people in society that all your social justice, all your activism, all your
good deeds are always basically on public display. No
		

			Don't make sure you're doing it for the sake of Allah. There are many people, many people who walk
this earth, and they are unknown. And because of their sincerity and their good deeds, their names
are mentioned throughout the habits. They are famous amongst them America of the heavens. And there
are many people who are famous on Earth, and they are unknown meaning not reference on mentioned in
the habits, be sincere towards Allah subhanaw taala. And remember this at the end of the day,
		

			we are always in need of making dua for sincerity, without overcomplicating it without overthinking
it. Just be sincere and keep moving towards the law and stop worrying so much about other people.
There is a famous dua we can all make. The translation of the DUA is oh Allah We seek refuge with
you from knowingly associating anything with you as well we seek your forgiveness for that which we
do unknowingly. What does this mean Allah mania or the weekend Oshika Vika what an alum was still
fit Okay, Lima Allah Adam, this hadith. This dua comes from a famous Hadith, or people the Prophet
sallallahu sallam said, oh people beware of this minor shirk, for it is more subtle than the
		

			footsteps of an act. The one whom Allah will should speak to him you need to the Prophet sallallahu
Sallam asked a really important question here that helps us how can we be aware of it when it is
more subtle than the footsteps of an auntie Rasul Allah? It's so subtle this time, this type of
shirk. Minor shift here. It's so subtle. How are we supposed to be aware of it? How can we be
cautious? He sets a low high Salam make this d'Orsay alarming, the older, weaker and weaker one Adam
was Delfino, Kalamata and, O Allah, we seek refuge with you from knowingly associating anything with
you and we seek your forgiveness for that which we do, unknowingly. No doubt, sincerely is a
		

			condition for success. No doubt sincerity is a condition for a legacy people have died and we spoke
about them when they died. Like many of our teachers, lecturers, Muhammad Sharif Rahim Allah in
recent times, and when people pass away sometimes you will see the effects of their sincerity if
it's something that's public that they worked on. Like mmm no it I'm Allah worked on the 40 Hadith a
compilation. This is, by the way, one compilation amongst hundreds of compilations of 40 Hadith, but
it is perhaps the most printed book of Hadith. And it's very summarized, very short, very concise in
the world today in terms of what is printed, because it's a compilation, and of course, as many
		

			scholars and because of his sincerity, this is a sign of sincerity. So when a sincere person passes
away, sometimes the effects are through their children, or their offspring until the end of times,
sometimes their effects are not seen by people and sometimes their effects are but the legacy that
is not sincere is not a true legacy for Allah. A legacy that is insincere is not a true legacy for
Allah. A legacy that includes showing off to the creation is not sincere. So when you raise a
righteous child, you may not be known but you know in Mahalia rahamallah has single mother reason.
And he changed the entire world. Sincerely moves mountains, sincerely moves boulders sincere
		

			liberates people sincerely changes the world. One person at a time sincerely changes the world. One
person at a time sincerely changes the world, one person at a time, and it must prevail in your
heart over all other desires. Whether or not you're rich or poor, whether you are in a good
situation or not. materialistically even if you are a king or a queen or a politician, the Queen of
Sheba or southern Belize submitted to Allah subhanaw taala and she was a queen and she had an entire
kingdom she became Muslim. So sincerely means you take the signs that along give you and you act
upon them today. Stop procrastinating for a day that is not guaranteed a sign of faith and
		

			sincerity. And this con is contrasted with what the hypocrites do. A sign of sincerity and a sign of
humility is that you do not procrastinate. Becoming a better believer you do not procrastinate
because it's one of the most destructive and prideful things we can do. There's a man who heard
about Islam in one of our communities, embrace Islam immediately meaning the same day he came to the
masjid heard about Islam. As far as questions he said that everything makes sense. Why would I
procrastinate? Why would I delay? He became Muslim, he died a year later. May Allah Subhana Allah
have mercy on it. There are people who almost died who did not procrastinate there are people who
		

			died and they have procrastinated. My point is what your legacy is built on the foundation of
sincerity. That is the ultimate success. Brothers and sisters. Of course, there's a lot more to say.
And there's there are perhaps dozens of different topics we can cover. I encourage you inshallah
Tada to join us for one of the most important courses of our times that affects the state of the
hearts and deals with the state of the hearts. And this is the course that of hamdulillah was just
launched, recorded by Dr. Monosodium ma last month I reward him and it is faith or fake. This class
covers a number of different crucial things that will help us to remain sincere to reinforce the
		

			Eman that we seek. So this is of course very wonderfully intertwines the Sierra the stories that are
based off of what's happening and also with the mafia clean and the believers and also the Tafseer
of the Quran. So traits of the believers and
		

			traits of the hypocrites the traits of the believers the sincere, the faithful and the traits of
those who are fake. There is the major hypocrisy in the minor hypocrisy. There are different traits
that lead to genuine some are more important than others, but all of them are signs of true faith.
So I encourage you to join us inshallah Tada. And yes, for those who asked I did participate is one
of the teachers for the course. So I recorded several of the modules of hamdulillah especially when
it comes to the topic of hypocrisy and mafia phone and specifically assault on monarchy alone, and
the different traits and how to engage with these characteristics how to deal with these people in
		

			society today, whether you are noticing their effects on social media or as influencers or you're
noticing their effects as politicians does it really matter. There's some application for every
single part of this class for everyone who joins us which so we welcome you all. I invite you all to
join us in sha Allah Allah for this brand new course again recorded by an led by Sheikh Omar Solomon
is one of our newest projects at Hamdulillah that focuses on both r theta and zero and as well you
can say as a Tafseer on the Quran, may Allah subhanaw taala accept from all of you, we welcome you
to join us once again faith or fake launched right now with hamdulillah May Allah subhanaw taala
		

			accept from all being granted sincerely, Aloma Amin, also the Lama and Amina Muhammad. While early
he was so happy to join, I noticed we had just a few quick questions here. Somebody asked What about
joining Quran competitions beautifying your reputation to when it is permissible if you are being
sincere, having a talent or a skill that is demonstrated for a competition that is measuring it,
quantifying it, and judging you for it insha Allah is still for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala but
obviously that Quran competition person should intend that you're Allah, I seek to get closer to you
through this competition, not to people or not because of some worldly thing, but it is permissible
		

			to engage in that somebody asked, Can I ask someone when I visit their home for a place to pray? Or
is it a sign basically is a bad thing you can ask for a place to pray just to remain sincere. Don't
overthink it. May Allah subhanaw taala accept somebody says, but sometimes you're making Salah at a
moderate speed. But when someone comes you feel like making a longer suit. How can I interpret that?
That's what we are talking about. You want to make sure when you're praying alone, your prayer alone
is better than the prayer that you prayed when that person walked in. And that may take some time.
But that is the goal at the end of the day that your prayer in private is the most sincere prayer
		

			that you can pray the best prayer you can pray in if you are judged based on your Salah and private
How do you feel right now? How would you feel on the Day of Judgment? How do you feel that that's
the majority of your salon in terms of your record? May Allah subhanaw taala accept from all of us
and forgive us for shortcomings along that I mean once again, there are many principles that we can
take many things that we can do. Let's start inshallah Tada with these webinars and with the course
that is launched what is up McLaren thank you all for your wonderful engagement. May Allah Subhana
Allah Allah bless you all and allow us to see the fruits of sincerely in this life and in the next
		

			life. And may Allah protect us from any kind of insincerity, any kind of pride any kind of pursuit
of people's pleasure over loss pleasure, may Allah forgive us for all of our shortcomings and
alleviate to the affairs of our brothers and sisters in every land and every place. Aloma Amin will
follow the home island Amina Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi edge mine What does that mean more
