			The most repeated story in the Quran is the story of Prophet Musa alayhis, Salam Moses. And it's
interesting to see all the different experiences that he had. He was sent to the most wicked of
people in history. He was sent to Iran, the pharaoh and Prophet Musa alayhis salam had to endure a
lot throughout his experience. Something interesting takes place. Allah subhanaw taala informs us in
the Quran about an individual who is unnamed. So his legacy is powerful, his reward is unimaginable.
And Allah subhanaw taala highlighted this individual. And this was during the moment in which there
was a conversation between this man, the believing man from the family or the people of fear and
		
00:01:18 --> 00:02:00

have taken place. And then he says, if he's lying, then the lie will affect him. It's on him. It's
his loss. But if he's telling the truth, then a calamity will be flawless. And there were calamities
that have been filled with people before them. And then he says Allah will not guide those who are
transgressing and they are liars. Notice here and the story of this individual this believing that
he keeps saying to His people Yeah, call me. Yeah, call me for example. Yeah, call me let qumola
		
00:02:37 --> 00:03:15

things you can do when you're advising someone is to call them with something that is close Oh my
dear brother or my dear sister or my family or my community or my people and when you call upon them
as such, it will have a greater emotional persuasive impact inshallah. He says well call me in the
hall for it Camille Montana later on in the story. He says I fear for you a day in which people will
be crying and calling out to one another. And he says there were people before us walk on Ludhiana
yeah call me Toblerone equal Sabina Russia. He talks about the people from before the people of
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:56
			newer that people if the mood they were punished for attacking their messenger. And then he says, Oh
my dear people, follow me I will show you I will lead you to the way of guidance. And then he says
yeah, for me, my people in Namaha. The higher to dunya Mata, this life is an enjoyment it is a
fleeting, quick illusion of pleasure. And then he says we're in the clean water here data. And the
hereafter is the home of settlement. That's where you're heading. This believing man used his
position to speak truth to a tyrant to advise people to follow Musa alayhis salam. And you know it
is upsetting for a person when you're trying to call people towards something good. And they're
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:30
			trying to call you towards their pathways of evil. He says why are Homi Malley adoro Camila Naja
aduro Camila Naja, whatever your own and he it and now you're calling me towards the fire? How is it
that I'm calling you towards something good. You're calling me towards something evil. In other
words, I'm calling you to be forgiven by Allah. This is for your own sake, you are from my people,
and I'm from amongst you. And then at the very end, he says faceted guru and Mr. Polina come, you
will remember what I say to you. I'm fast forwarding through the story. But most importantly, is to
notice how he calls upon his people calls upon his people calls upon his people. He speaks directly
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:59
			to fit on, he challenges what's happening. He gives him a persuasive intellectual argument. And at
the very end, he says to his people, you're going to remember what I said, you are going to remember
what will follow will do Emerita ultimately, I entrust my affairs to Allah subhanaw taala. And then
he says in the law, but so you don't believe in Allah subhanaw taala is all seeing of His servants.
Firewall Tom who law who say it man Makoto, Allah saved him from their evil plans and their plots.
And then a las Panatela tells us what half of you are if you're on a suit
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:35
			Other, and the evil punishment took the people off Iran. I want you to think about this believing
that this man was a believer, he hid his faith for a while he started calling people towards the
truth use his platform for something good. What are you doing with the platform that you have? What
are you doing with the situations, the networks, the context of social media that you have? Are you
utilizing that position? That blessing that privilege for something beneficial to call people
towards something good to stop people from doing the wrong thing? Or are you wasting an opportunity?
Are you wasting potential May Allah subhanaw taala make us grateful for every position, every
		
00:05:35 --> 00:06:13
			platform, every opportunity that we have the people of fit on? The those who continue to follow fit
around and ignore Prophet Musa the salam, they saw sign after sign after sign after sign, and all of
these signs from Allah subhanaw taala, they rejected them due to their arrogance. Finally, they
chase Musa Ali Salam and the few followers, the believers that were with him, they chase them, and
they're basically trapped, you have the red sea behind you and the enemy in front of you. And Allah
subhanaw taala tells us about the miracle that took place with the splitting of the sea. I want you
to imagine seeing this yourself. Imagine you're watching as a third party. And you have a group of
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:36
			people with a messenger who showed them all the signs and proofs that they needed that this was
truly a messenger of God, every miracle you can imagine, though, that was mentioned. Imagine you saw
it as well. Now the sea is splitting. And he goes through that they're going through the split, see
they're going through the Red Sea. And right behind them. You have Iran and the arrogance followers,
those who are obeying fit on blindly
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			choosing to pursue and kill.
		
00:06:40 --> 00:07:21
			What kind of worldview how much arrogance must you have for you to see the sea splitting for a man
who showed you that he was truly a messenger of God and still trying to chase him to kill him? How
arrogant must a person be? May Allah subhanaw taala protect us. They chase down Musa Ali Salaam and
the believers and of course they got out safely the believers and Madonna and his followers dropped
his army drowned. And as he's drowning, then finally he tries to proclaim that he believes in the
same Lord as Benny straw eat but by then it is truly May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us humility
and allow us to accept the signs that are in our lives and the signs within us as well before it is
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:29
			too late. Accept the signs of change today because tomorrow is not guaranteed. And they lost the
panel Tada. Forgive us for all of our shortcomings. Llama me
