			Oh praise is due to Allah exalted, we praise Him and seek His help guidance and forgiveness. We seek
refuge in Allah from the evils within ourselves and the evils of our sins, whomsoever Allah guides
because they sincerely seek the guidance. No one can misguide. And whoever he rightfully causes to
be led astray because they are not sincere in their pursuit of guidance, and uncombined and your
witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah alone. And I bear witness that
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam peace be upon him, is a servant and final messenger.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:02:12
			Allah the Exalted reminds us in the Noble Quran, when is translated as, oh, you will believe be
conscious of Allah, as he deserves, and do not die except in a state of worship. May Allah subhanaw
taala make us steadfast upon worshiping Him and allow us to die upon his worship and may Allah
subhanaw taala resurrect us in a good state, Allah, Allah reminds us all you will believe the
conscious of Allah, and let every one of you reflect, think about pondered, and then take action,
about what you prepared for your afterlife for the Day of Judgment, for your meeting with your
Creator, and be conscious of Allah. Verily, Allah is aware of all that you do.
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:55
			There is no doubt that we are living in times in which many people feel uncertain, in which many
people feel anxious about what the future holds, in which many people fear their surroundings, their
environments, their circumstances, we're living in a times in which we are facing once again an
unprecedented pandemic in our lifetimes. And no doubt. For the believer, we have a number of
reflections and a number of reminders from the One who created us and created this world about how
to cope with such a reality. For many people, there are uncertainties with regards to their health.
May Allah grant us all she thought, for many people, their concern is about their wealth, or their
		
00:02:55 --> 00:03:37
			livelihood and their families may have lost count on and protect us and grant us sustenance that is
pure Aloha. For many people, their concern is about their faith alone. mulata, God will say you
wrote an op ed and our whole life did not make our trial, our calamity, our difficulty with regards
to our faith, for that is the one thing that will guarantee you genuine. When we look around us and
see what's happening locally and globally, once again, at the many, many occurrences all at the same
time. There's a reminder today that brings us back to a reality that we know and it grounds us in
this reality so that we do not have excessive fear when it comes to worldly matters. In fact, from
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:49
			the from the perspective of Islamic psychology, an increase in trust in God, an increase in tobacco
and dependence upon God leads to a decrease with regards to worrying
		
00:03:51 --> 00:04:27
			about the future and what it may hold. And what I want to do very briefly, is remind us today about
the saying of Allah subhanaw taala in one of the earliest revelations in Mecca before the hostility
led to violence before they started verbally, before they started physically assaulting and then
talking the prophets on Lohani send them and his followers and this is with regards to the
revelation on the sawed off and half pod in the beginning of the surah. Allah subhanho wa Taala
gives an emphasis and a reminder so that people are listening and there's a literary device here in
which Allah subhanaw taala says and
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:36
			Paul, man ha
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:42
			ha
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:59
			as the people who are listening to this, they hear and how and there was that Madhopur what is it
and how what is this referring to? What can happen when Allah says in the Quran when the Orca such
as water
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:23
			tilaka men are the one that rocket men have up and so on and so forth. It means Allah will inform
you about what it is, Allah will tell you or describe this thing he's referring to. Whereas if Allah
subhanaw taala says what you did he can then he will not tell you, when they leak, allow yourself to
technically where Allah subhana will not give you information about the Day of Resurrection, the
time of when it begins,
		
00:05:24 --> 00:06:02
			what is unhelpful? And how is referring to the inevitable reality, that is the Day of Judgment, the
afterlife, the end of times in this form, it reminds us that this life is temporary, so do not
become attached to it. And as the people of color who are listening, well might as well come and
help for now they are captivated with the opening three verses, Allah subhanaw taala says cut the
events, the people of the ThermoWood a previous nation that you know of why rather than the people
of Ireland, a very powerful nation as well, video quality are they denied they rejected belief in
life after death and all of Europe is another name for the day of judgment and quality or has the
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:40
			connotation of that which is striking that which is loud that what you pay attention to the sweating
reality, I will help for an apology I mentioned in the opening I answered the soma and Allah Subhana
Allah mentions how these nations rejected the truth and what they did and what their punishment was
for an environment and all in the Quran as is mentioned many times, what did they experience the
experience soft, solid, Marathi, a cold, severe wind, a wind that actually blew their entire land
and destroying their land? They were annihilated. My point here is not about the description of the
punishment. But what Allah subhanaw taala says right after this alien number eight, Allah subhanaw
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			taala says the head to toe.
		
00:06:44 --> 00:07:30
			Bow the Do you see a trace of them today? Does anyone on Earth today with the 7 billion human beings
that we have? plus? Does anyone today on Earth attribute themselves to the people of Ireland or the
moon? No, because they were completely wiped out. You see no trace of Ireland or Scotland today. And
this is a reminder for us even as believers when we reflect on past nations, Allah subhanaw taala
starts by mentioning the Day of Judgment, and then reaches those who rejected and oppose the truth.
Those who oppose the belief in life after that those who oppose their messengers, Allah subhanaw
taala realize that people have colorations along the $100 level of imbalance, etc. any trace of them
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:37
			today? Do you see anyone positively speaking about the elites of Polish who rejected Islam today.
And this is a reminder for us as well.
		
00:07:38 --> 00:08:17
			When we reflect on the nations of today, and people who may seem to be in a position that is
advantageous a position of power, in worldly terms, we say what's the measuring stick is not what
you have in this world, the measurement of your success, the measurement of your truthfulness is
where you are in the sight of Allah for there are nations that have power today that will not exist
in the future, every nation that rose to power fellow, and those nations that fell in the nation
states that fall today as well, they might not fall in the same way, especially with the changes in
the modern world. But do not forget that power ultimately is with Allah subhanaw taala for him and
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:59
			taught him in Bulgaria. Now someone might say what is the reminder for me as a Muslim, this is a
clear warning and a threat to the disbelievers. My brothers and sisters reflect on what you are
leaving behind was one. When you leave this world, what traces were there of your presence on Earth?
Whose heart did you touch? Who did you benefit with a reminder? What post did you leave behind on
your social media accounts? What do you teach your children that would benefit the long term? This
is not only a Reminder for those who are being threatened, those reminder for us as believers,
reflect on what view are leaving behind. If you left today, with all the uncertainties of a dunya
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:37
			today, and there's no guarantee that we will make it to tomorrow. May Allah grant us long, healthy,
righteous, productive lives, there is no guarantee. And so the question is what did you leave
behind? What are you leaving behind? Old and young and sometimes young people think well, I'm still
too young, I have a long life ahead of me. And we know this is not the reality. How many generations
have we attended in which there were people in their 60s and 70s and youngsters? 510 15 years old as
well. There's no guarantees for head to toe on the balcony. There are so many people who passed away
in our community. Well long in their affects their positive effects are still seeing today. May
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:59
			Allah have mercy on them and except for now, that is due to their sincerity. We assume their
sincerity because their deeds are lasting. And then it's due to the hard work. Hard work sincerely
for the sake of Allah will pay off. What is it you're tasting this life constantly? What trace
positive traits or the affinity for people have you left behind? One way to think about this is to
ask if you were removed from the
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:33
			legions of this world today? What difference would that make in the lives of people around you? Are
you that good friend that reminds people when they mess around? When they fall short? When they
start saying certain things they should not say or sharing things they should not share? You're the
one who advises gently and wisely. Are you that person that reminded the community? Are you that
person that remind you of your family? Are you that person that shared something beneficial on
social media? Are you the person that contributed to so many families and so many orphans and so
many masajid that when your presence is taken out, people notice a difference, like the presence of
		
00:10:33 --> 00:11:13
			some companions, it was said about how you know, in the long run, and others, that when they passed
away, it was known that they had passed away. And it was known that they had been doing something
specific, because a specific family was receiving food at its door as a donation on on his donation.
And they did not know who it was until they have passed away. What traces are we leaving behind with
all the uncertainty of this pandemic and it is ramping up May Allah protect us all we must be
cautious, we must be cautious. As this this uncertainty is increasing under political uncertainties
as well. We take caution we take heed we protect ourselves we do what we can. But do not forget your
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:53
			ultimate reality, the inevitable as if it traces that you want to leave it behind those people who
oppose the truth there is nothing we have known today, the holy tomboy that will be involved in now
remember, as well that when it comes to oppression and oppressors, sometimes a believer who is not
sure or clear of how theology works will wonder, why is it that today we are still seeing the
brothers and sisters in Palestine suffer and struggle and this is a long conversation. Allah subhana
reminds us not only about Palestine, Allah subhanaw reminds us of oppression in general, in eastern
Pakistan and Palestine, in America and all around the world in Yemen and Syria and Iraq, everywhere
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:55
			we see oppression everywhere today.
		
00:11:56 --> 00:12:36
			Without the law, if you don't, I'm Maya, Bonnie, do not assume that Allah is unaware of what
oppressors do. You yourself can say I will not be an oppressor. And I will work throughout my life
to be amongst those who try to solve the problem of oppression. Allah subhanaw taala reminds us so
that you're not worried and concerned will ultimately you know, in a que de Mateen I delete them the
oppressors for a while longer at times. I delete them with a plan my planning is flawless. Do not be
like some Muslims who say well, Allah will take care of it. I don't have to do anything about it.
No, you might be part of that plan of Allah to solve the oppression in this world. And that is what
		
00:12:36 --> 00:13:12
			is required of us to work on what matters most. And to spend most of our efforts and our times on
things that are lasting up things that are useless, things that are wasteful entertainments that has
no benefits whatsoever. May Allah subhanaw taala guide us and protect us along the immune now in the
Sulong Allah subhanaw taala that reminds the people of God Aishe it's not only Ireland at the
moment, but remember that Ireland as well who had so much more than Allah subhanaw taala reminds him
of fill a hole in the people of Luke all in the same is one of the longer one and pump it out one
more typicality will hopefully not take out to about the people who are overturned and more tickets
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:44
			to the city, the town that was flipped over and punish. They rejected Allah subhanaw taala Allah
subhanaw taala says, but also a pseudo of being in the upper left that Turabian they rejected the
messenger that came to them so they were taken with a seizing grip or a crush. A reminder of past
nations is a reminder for us. A reminder from other people's lives is a reminder for us. And Allah
subhanaw taala that reminds us about one of the oldest messengers and this is the finale here in our
discussion. Almost preparing a toddler says in
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:53
			moving Johnny Lena John
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:56
			Kiato Oh, what are you up
		
00:13:58 --> 00:13:59
			to?
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:28
			When the floodwater had reached a high level? We carried you on the ark? This is of course referring
to profit and how do you settle? Now I want you to pay attention to one particular word you have a
non coding we carried you this is a reference and this is directed out to the people of Malaysia who
are listening to this. And so you might wonder what does Allah mean? We carry with you when the
people have not had a salon or perhaps 1000s of years earlier.
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:36
			This is a reminder for us as well. We can review on the ark of view when the flood had reached high
levels.
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:59
			Have a learn because had there not been believers who are saved with Prophet Newell, how you set up
so you buy more subhanaw taala that there will be no offspring we would not be here today. The
descendants of Dulhaniya Salam will not be on Earth today. And the reminder here my dear brothers
and sisters is also a spiritual one. This is not only directed at the people of Polish, the one who
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:42
			Carrie knew of hiding his salon and his followers, the 70 or 80 followers after he came down with
for 950 years 70 or 80 followers according some opinions, the one who carried and say you know what
Instagram Do you not believe he can carry two out of every difficulty? Do you not believe he can see
you from every calamity? Do not believe that can protect you even when all the worldly circumstances
look like they are against you, or all the world's armies are attacking you do not believe that
Allah subhanaw taala can save you. This is a reminder for us to turn into a loss of primal Uttara
and call upon him with sincere humility. Truly, depending on him truly loving Him, humbling
		
00:15:42 --> 00:16:26
			ourselves and realizing we are not in control of this world. You are not in control of worldly
circumstances, you are not in control of the pandemic, but you can put your trust in Allah subhanho
wa taala. While you take all measures, you can do what you can by turning to Allah as well. All you
who experiences sadness and anxiety and pain and a time of darkness. Remember, remember, remember,
the One who created your body and ruler is the same one who saved people on the ark of newer.
Remember Allah subhanho wa Taala the one who for Musa split the sea and punish those who oppose the
truth. Remember Allah subhanaw taala, the one who brought back use it to his father, then maybe Musa
		
00:16:26 --> 00:17:07
			to his mother, the one who ascended the reciting Salam to the heavens, the one who accepts your
every prayer he says with the Rooney aesthetic devil call upon Allah subhanaw taala we're going to
walk the university Java and you are believing with conviction in the acceptance of your DUA call
upon them Allah subhana wa Tada the one who says call upon me, I will respond to so call upon him
with love, with hope, with optimism for the Promise of Allah is always true. The reality is if we
want to be saved at a time like this, we reflect on these past nations. We reflect on these past
lessons. Allah subhanaw taala carried the believers and saved them when a flood took over the world.
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:18
			So how about today? So how about your situation and wants to pilot and split the sea for Musa
Sullivan his followers? So how about for you, but you must put your trust in Allah.
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:28
			Oftentimes, we take all measures and some people still have fear and anxiety of worldly things. But
you have to remember the end point you lay your sleeve on
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:33
			the wall with whoever
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:36
			whoever
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:38
			long you
		
00:17:39 --> 00:18:20
			can, you know, put your trust in Allah for Allah subhanaw taala he does not decreed for anything to
harm you that nothing can harm you. He is our protector. We put our trust in him. Well, I don't want
defending until okay, but we know it. This means you must believe as you're putting your trust in
Allah that you are in his hands your affairs are safe with him. And the reality is as we reflect on
the many uncertainties politically, on the many uncertainties in terms of oppressions around the
world, on the video uncertainties in terms of the pandemic, put your trust in Allah the one who says
Quinton fair coin May Allah subhanaw taala forgive us and allow us to be amongst input our theory
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:35
			may Allah subhanaw taala because optimistic productive during this time and adapting to every
situation and they also depend on talent because amongst those who aren't going in any any cause of
guidance for others along the Amina hula party how there was something more even a professed of blue
in the womb of
		
00:18:48 --> 00:19:27
			how do we know are salatu salam ala Rasulillah early he was suffering he woman walled off in hola
hola melodica when we saw Lunarlon that we Yeah, you will need some new Allah he was sending waters
Lima and your brothers and sisters Allah subhanaw taala reminds us when he mentions the caring of
the other people on the ark of Noah, honey salaam, the gyro teltik Er, so that this may be a
reminder for you. This is a reminder for all people, whatever you have with them unwelcome and so
that the attentive ear will listen to it. How many reminders do we hear how many people scroll
through social media and see so many beneficial things and ignore them, and they overlook them
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:59
			quickly? They become impatient very quickly. How many people see things around them and they don't
take sides? They don't take heed. They don't learn lessons. Although inquiry is not just someone who
can hear, but someone who hears attentively with their heart and sincerely as well in order to act
upon what they hear. How would you find it was have we heard allowing us to have this checkpoint of
a reminder from Joomla to Joomla. How many prayers do we pray every day? I checked them from Salalah
to Salah and the ratio of many sins excitation of many sins. And how many of us now as the the long
winter
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:36
			We are increasing, are going to take advantage of these knights praying to Allah subhanaw taala call
upon the loss of volatile in times like this in times of difficulty in times of ease, and make sure
that you're increasing in your unburden. You're connecting more with the Quran, when the world
becomes more uncertain. This is a reminder for anyone who wants to take heed, for that give them
early, maybe a half a warning, so reminder for those who want to take a lesson. But your brothers
and sisters that wants to prioritize it was all that we need to get through this life. And it's
turmoils and its trials and tribulations. The question is, what will we do to increase our
		
00:20:36 --> 00:21:13
			connection with Allah moving forward? I ask Allah subhanaw taala to protect us all in our
communities around the world, and to make us people who are optimistic and resilient and attached to
the hereafter attached to Allah's pleasure attached to our greater objective, I ask Allah subhanaw
taala to make us amongst those who benefit from every reminder we hear and every reminder that we
read, or there are different types of people when it comes to the reminder, there are those who sit
in the presence of a reminder and do not listen at all, there are those who hear the reminder and it
benefits them for a very short while a temporary boost and 100 and that's great. But then there are
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:46
			those who hear the reminder and they intend during this time. They intend to while listening to the
reminder to make real change in their lives. I asked you to make the intention today and the
intention now that when you go back to your home or to your work, that you intend to make real
change when your actions with your connection with a walk with your family while dealing with
worldly situations may also Pentatonix up for all of us, forgive us all protect us in this life in
the next slide. And may Allah subhanaw taala grant us all the highest levels of Jannah Allah I mean
a lot more than a minimum you know when you will be nervous when we're singing and listening and
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:52
