With regards to that, Allah says in the livina indeed those people who do a fair humble Mala Iike to the angel take them, meaning they take their souls at the time of their death. And how in what state to the angels of death come to them? Wally me and forcing him, Lolly me, Florida law alum, meaning those who are doing loan against to against themselves, the angels of death, they come to them to take their soul. And at that time, these people are busy in doing one on themselves. What's the greatest injustice on yourself? Sinning, disobeying Allah subhanaw taala. But in reality, when do we pity ourselves, when we have less food, when we have fewer clothes, when we don't have that amazing
lip gloss, right? That's when we pity ourselves. But we need to pity ourselves at the time when we disobey Allah that's really sad state to be in, Lolly me and forcing him. So the angels they come to take their salt and at that time these people are busy in sending in disobeying Allah Aalu. The angel say to them femur con Tom, where were you? What were you doing? And what state were you? In? What condition were you FEMA? fee in MA? This is an abbreviation of Ma? Ma? What? FEMA in what country? You were meaning in what state were you? In? What condition were you? What were you doing? What were you busy with? What on earth were you doing FEMA? contam Kalu their response is gone. Now
we were most of our fina fell out. They have an excuse. And what's that excuse? We were oppressed in the earth? I didn't have an option. I was forced to do it. I didn't have a choice. Mr. Darphin. We have done this word earlier. Chlorella Musa DARF. One who has been made weak one who is oppressed. So we didn't have a choice. We were oppressed. Follow the angel say to them, and I'm talkin Was it not a Mullah? He the land of Allah West, the earthen vast, this earth that Allah has made? Is it not spacious? Is it not West era where you really constricted confined to this one place that you had to disobey Allah, you have to sin. The earth of Allah is vast, you could have for 200 Euro fee here,
you could have migrated in it. If it was not possible for you to practice Islam here. You could have left this place, gone somewhere else and practiced Islam over there for 200 Euro fee here. Why didn't she do that? So in other words, their excuse will not be accepted. Allah says for Hola, eco welcome Johanna such people their abode is Hellfire was at mostly raw, and what an evil destination it is. So we see that some people when they're doing something wrong, they do not take responsibility of it. What do they do? They blame others. They made me do it. The system is such they forced me. She told me it's not my fault. This is just like sometimes we say, oh shaitan made
me do this. Shavon men do this shape on. Okay. Shaitan whispered to you, but who listened? who listened? You listened? Shaitan suggested to you, but who obeyed. you obeyed. So whose fault is it? It's your fault. Because if someone tells you to do something, you also have the right to say, no. If somebody forces you to do something, you have the guts to refuse. Isn't that true? My daughter, she's 18 months only. And once she makes up her mind to not eat something, you cannot even force it into her mouth. You can never do that. There have been times when I've you know accidentally you know, without her realizing managed to shove, you know some food into her mouth. And she will spit
it out. immediately spit it out. And again, I will try through one way or the other different ways I will use to get it into her mouth. If she does not want it. She does not want it she will spit it out. And she's been doing this since she was six months old.
Since she started eating, if she doesn't like the taste of something that's extra something she will spit it out immediately. You can't get it into her.
So if a little child can assert themselves like so firmly that no I don't want it or I want it. Then adults can they don't do that.
Can they not do that? Yes. When somebody tells us no you can't do it and we want to do it. We say it on their face. I am going to do it.
I think a lot of the times we give excuses just for the Dean like for example like we don't mind traveling for work and
When it comes to traveling for the dean, we have a problem with it. We don't have problems studying for school. But when it has a test over here, then we have a problem with it. Yes, very true that we make excuses when it comes to the for other things, no excuses. Why? Because we take it seriously. And when it comes to the matter of Dean, we just hold on to these two words of a fool Rahim. Allah is Allah fooled Rahim, you don't really have to sacrifice you don't really have to put in so much effort. So basically, this verse was revealed about those people who were not practicing their Islam the way they should have been. Why? Because of social pressure, because of the fact that if they
did, publicize their faith, and they would have to face a lot of opposition. So what was the solution over there? Hide your Islam, leave your Islam? No, the solution was to get up and leave, go somewhere else. You know, if you're in a place where people are not cooperative, whether it's the same house that you're living in, what will people do, they will move out, they will leave, they will not tolerate people whom they do not get along with. Women will leave their families, they will leave their houses, they will go somewhere else, they will go to a shelter sometimes why? Because they cannot tolerate the situation at home. So if for worldly reasons, for personal reasons, we are
ready to give up anything, then for the cause of Allah for the sake of Allah, we are not willing to. And then we make the excuse that oh, people forced us. They didn't let us this excuse will not be accepted. It will not be accepted. And sometimes for worldly achievement for worldly success. We compromise on our deen a lot. This is why we eat haram. We live haram. We live in a house, a residence that is not halal. We drive haram. And what's the reason? Well, the system is set over here if you don't buy, and how can you survive? If you don't buy a house, then how can you survive? This is a fairly new trend. Go 50 years back 100 years back, every person on this planet did not own
a house. And you go to different countries. And you will see that every person does not own a house. People will give the excuse but the system is such over here that if you don't buy a house, then you'll have so many other bills to pay. But what did we learn earlier, young Hakala who Reba where you will be sort of caught, you can buy a house on haram and you can go on paying interest for the rest of your life. And still at the end of the month, your builds will be more than you expected, you will see that there is no Baraka in your life. And because of that, you will have to keep your hand back from spending in the way of Allah fulfilling your needs easily from living a happy life.
What's the reason? Because we want the best in this world. We want to keep up with the Joneses, right? If our neighbors have a car, and we have to have the same kind of car as well, even if it means I cannot afford it. If he got a motorbike that I have to get a motorbike as well, if their daughter got a car, my daughter has to get a car as well. They're moving out upgrading, we have to do the same thing as well. They're renovating, we have to do the same thing as well. We hear about some person in the community who bought a house, a much bigger house. So we have to do the same thing as well. Even if it means our pockets don't allow us to do that.
I was thinking about the
volume. I'm really scary. I really love you all for the sake of Allah, I hope you don't mind what I'm seeing. I see a lot of sisters text message and in the middle of the class, looking at the pictures, sisters, please because the Angel of Death can come anytime. While we're text message. Imagine if the angel of this came to you while you text messaging. It's really it's not good picture. So I really advise you when sister is teaching, or we are having presentation class, please don't text message is the engine of this come while we take some message is really not good picture. But you will see to Allah subhanaw taala.
And the fact is that we die as we live. We die as we live. Whatever we are doing in daily routine, that's how we will die. And the angel of death will not delay.
He will not wait for you to stop doing what you're doing. He will not wait for you to go into that bias mode. And then he will take your soul No. The Angel of Death can also come while we are Lolly me and forcing him so we have to be very careful. And we cannot make this excuse that oh everybody does this so I have to do it as well. I don't have a choice so and so is telling me to know this excuse will not be accepted. But if you think about it for everything that we do not follow in our deen for everything that we compromise on in our deen we have a reason
We have a justification. Ask any person. I don't wear hijab, because I don't pray because I still have a mortgage because I've taken a haram student loan and I'm deferring to pay it off because I take interest because I give interest because it's really amazing how things that we've been obligated to do. And many non Muslims like my mom's nurse came in the other day, and she was saying how she read a part of the Quran and she taught how the hijab was such a beautiful thing and how fasting is good for the body. She's a nurse, so she knows all these things. And she's like, there's so many amazing things your religion you guys follow, and she and her family started implementing
it. So here we are trying to implement what non Muslims are doing and want to do this and mortgages and whereas they are the ones realizing how amazing our deen is and they're trying to implement what we're doing and we don't realize what we're losing. Yes.
Except I must have Darphin Amin originally when Nyssa II will will there any except for those who are oppressed for among the men and the women and the children original plural of Raja Nyssa. Women will then plural of wallet, except for those men, women and children who lay a stick to your own or Haledon. Who cannot devise a plan hailer from her. Yeah, love. Hina is a means a strategy of getting away from something whether it's an excuse, a plan, a trick, whatever, getting away with something. So they cannot come up layers to the arena. They're not capable of coming up with any healer, to somehow get away to somehow leave that place. Go somewhere else practice Islam over there, they're
not able to while you're doing a Sevilla and they're not able to find a way either, meaning they don't have an option. They are really, they are really oppressed, they cannot get away. Now remember that there were people who had not migrated to Medina, some of them they chose not to obey, and others they had no option. Now imagine if someone was fettered and chained. Could they do something? No, they couldn't. How could they get away from there? They couldn't, they were trapped. Alright, so when someone does not have an option to obey Allah, then they are excused. But if there is a person who has an auction, who can go and sell that house that they really love, because they want to come
out of haram, who can go for vegetarian as opposed to the food that is easily available? They are taking the other option so that they can remain obedient to Allah, then they are not excused. If they don't obey Allah, when we choose to disobey Allah, we are not excused. When we don't have that option, when we don't have that choice. That's a different situation. So for example, there's a girl
and her parents decide that they're going to move into a house that's bigger, and that's bought on her arm. So she tells them that no, this is not right. And she tries to explain to them, she tries to make them understand, but they don't listen to her. They don't agree with her at all, or they agree but they said that, yes, beta, but we have to do this, right? So they do it anyway.
So she doesn't have an option over there, but to accept her parents decision.
If she sets that house on fire, she's going to be a criminal. And she's not allowed to do that. Anyway, she cannot destroy other people's property, she doesn't have the right to do that. If she leaves that house, then that doesn't make sense either. So she's stuck in that situation, she cannot get out of it. Likewise, there's, you know, a son, or and he's telling his parents the same thing, but he's not getting anywhere. Likewise, there is a woman who is telling her husband, but he's not cooperating. He is not listening at all. Men in this situation, what's the option? What's the option? What should she do than she should constantly seek is the fall she should constantly seek
forgiveness from Allah subhanaw taala. She should keep doing underbid marital Nahan and Wonka to the best of her ability. And she should feel that discomfort in her heart.
But unfortunately, we put the blame on our husbands. And we say, Oh, he's taken the mortgage, his responsibility and the house. It's mine. Right? And we're so proud about it. We're so happy about it. We love every corner of it. We decorate every corner of it. We invite people over we have dinners and lunches and so on and so forth. And we have divided the responsibilities between ourselves and the husbands like you deal without an ID with the house. The house is mine. And the money is yours for example.
We take full ownership of it.
And whenever the thought comes, but this is not halal. We say Oh, it's my husband's decision. What can I do I make him understand but he doesn't listen. So easy to blame. We don't
Want to take responsibility? Remind yourself at that time, if the angel of death were to come to me in this house,
this house, what am I going to say?
The angels will be in shock FEMA content. What were you doing? Didn't you know? Didn't you learn? Didn't you study, FEMA countdown. And I will say good news though there are fina fillant.
And the angels will not accept that at all. They will not accept that all Illa only in the situation where a person is truly oppressed. And really ask yourself is tough to call back. Ask your heart. Am I really those who are oppressed? Or have I accepted it and settled with it? And am I embracing it and enjoying it?
For Hola, Iike. So those people are so Allahu, perhaps Allah, it is hope that Allah will a year who are in him that he will pardon them who? Those who were really oppressed, who tried many times, who made many attempts, but unfortunately, they got nowhere. So for example, a woman is constantly on her husband's case. And she says, let's get over this quickly. Let's make a plan. She is on his case. Right? She is trying to convince him she's making him understand constantly she is cooperating with him.
You know, when it comes to financial decisions, she is cooperating with him. Both of them are together getting there. This is a different situation, right? So such people are also Allahu ayyar for whom it is hoped, maybe Perhaps Allah will forgive them. It's not guaranteed. Hope has been given. So a person should always remain between fear and hope. What can Allah who are full one of the folder and Allah is Ever pardoning and forgiving?
Well, may you heard it feasible, Allah shaytaan makes us fear that how was it possible if you sell this house where you gonna go? You're gonna be renting? How will you know afford that? Within 10 years you will have nothing in your hands. What does Allah say? Well, may you heard it feasable Allah, whoever migrates for the cause of Allah and to remember that Hijra is not just leaving one city, one country and going somewhere else Hijra is also leaving a sin and obeying Allah, what do we learn and mahadji Roman Hajra man Allahu Anhu then will Hajj is one who leaves that which Allah has forbidden him from. So once a person leaves what Allah has forbidden for him, he leaves that and
adopts that which Allah has allowed for him, whether it is a job or a job, that was not correct, that was not halal. So she leaves that why, so that she can have a job. That is right that is halal. That is the correct means of earning money. Whoever does this, Allah says he legit feel ugly. This person will find in the earth moral human Cathedral on wasa he will find many locations and abundance Morava is from raw line meme. Muralla is from raw plain mean from the word ROM and ROM is to get dusty. And this is an expression for being humiliated. Like for example, they would say Laulima unfold May his nose be rubbed into dust. Right? So moron, thumb is the place or the position
of being dusty.
Okay? Basically, this is referring to two things. First of all, means ways. The path the road that a person takes in order to hit in order to leave one thing and go somewhere else. And as you're going, you're taking a path you're going on a road obviously, aren't you gonna get dusty in that time? Definitely today? No, but in that time, definitely when you're traveling, when you're moving from one place to the other. Think about it when you're moving houses your furniture, aren't you gonna get dusty and dirty? Of course you will. No matter how clean your house is you are gonna get dusty and dirty. So it refers to the means of Hijra.
The person who wants to do hijra, Allah will provide him many, many ways. And this is true. Once you make up your mind, I want to get out of this.
You make a decision, I want to put an end to this, I have to change, I have to move away. I have to quit this job. I have to get rid of this house. I have to get rid of this thing that is haram. And Allah will give you many options. Allah will provide you many ways.
Ask the people who have experienced this and they will tell you that yes, this is true.
This is very true. That once you make up your mind to leave something for the cause of Allah
Allah will always give you many other options. But they will come when when you make up your mind, but what do we do? We cited as a condition. If I see an option, then I will consider leaving this for Allah.
Isn't it so? But if you don't come out of the house, if you don't come out of a closed door, then how can you find other places to go to? If you're just sitting in the house? And you say yeah, but if I find a way out, then I'll go if I find another option, then I'll go no, you have to walk out of the door, and then you'll figure out to go right or to go left or to go straight. Allah will give you the options, because who is your Rasul? Allah is Allah is your provider right? He has taken the responsibility to provide you Well mom and dad but in full of the Illa Allah He to school her. There is no creature on this earth except that it is Allah's responsibility to provide for it. Allah has
taken it upon himself because he's a rub. He is a Razia.
So when he is your provider, you will provide you but you have to listen to him.
So whoever migrates for the cause of Allah, He will find in the earth many ways many means to do hijra, you will find in front of him many options.
Secondly, what Allah will be your first or the place of refuge, the place of Israel, meaning many places where he can go many places where he can go.
But you have to want it and then Allah will give you the option. What's our and vastness, spaciousness, well seen, our aim was, meaning Allah will give him Musa Allah will give him spaciousness.
Sarah, the spaciousness doesn't just mean that the place is going to be big.
Because Sarah, is you can say the state of your heart, you could be in a very small place, but because of the happiness that you feel, the freedom that you feel, you don't feel constricted, you don't feel restricted. And at the same time, you could be in a mansion. But because you're unhappy there, you feel as though that place is closing in upon you.
So the one who obeys Allah, then what happens? Allah takes away the burden of guilt from him, and that sets him free. That gives him inner peace and satisfaction. That lets him relax. That lets him relax. Let me give you an example. If you've ever taken a loan from someone, then what happens you feel as if you are bound. You're tied up. You're restricted. You want to purchase something, but the thought comes to your mind but I have this loan to pay off. You want to go somewhere this thought comes into your but I have this loan to pay off you can relax and once it's over, even if it's $100. Once you've paid that off, then how do you feel free? Free.
So the person will be given Saara freedom, freedom to practice the deen freedom to be Allah will give him abundance and vastness, many opportunities, while may or Hodgman bait him or her Do you run and whoever goes out of his house to do Hijra in Allah, He will also lead to Allah and His Messenger, meaning he is leaving a place he is leaving something he's getting out of it, to obey Allah, to be more obedient to the messenger SallAllahu wasallam. So my youth recall modes, but then death overtakes him.
He dies on the way. This is specifically with regards to the people who embraced Islam at the time of the Prophet sallallahu wasallam. And they left their homes, they left their cities, why to go to Medina Illa Allah he will also lead they're doing his right to go to Allah and His Messenger, but on the way they passed away, on the way the angel of death game, so they basically never got to the place of Hijra.
What would you think that this person, too bad? How sad? They missed out on their award? They were trying, but they never really made it. But what does Allah say, for God, a worker or a Judo or an Allah, this person his reward has Walker Walker, it means to happen. And over here it gives meaning of Sebata that it has confirmed his reward is confirmed meaning ALLAH will definitely reward him. What can Allah hula photo Mahima And Allah is Ever forgiving and merciful. So what do we see over here, that when a person starts something good, but he is not able to complete it, he is on the way
And he dies then it's as though he has done it.
It is as though he has done it.
So better die trying than just sitting idle. Right? What's the expression?
How do they say it?
Okay get rich or die trying. Alright? So get to your goal either get it, reach it achieve it and if that's not possible at least die trying die in the state while you're making that effort to get there don't just sit there doing nothing sitting idle because then you're completely useless
let's listen to the recitation of these verses Yeah.

War long oval Hold on.
So if you look at all of these verses together, what do we learn
that there's two ways of living. One is that a person wants to achieve greater goals. A person wants to go higher. He wants to have a higher rank agenda. And the other is to be certain with less
what a person has settled with less what happens he ends up compromising. He ends up falling behind.
And then he makes up excuses.
He comes up with a reason to do whatever wrong that he's doing. He ends up justifying his wrong actions.
Right? He's falling behind behind behind following shape on justifying his wrong actions. I have to shake hands with men because I cannot wear hijab because I cannot pray because there is a reason for everything justification for sins. But when the angel of death will come, he will not accept any excuse such people their good deeds or waste
Then they've accumulated so much wrong, they can make an agenda.
But if a person is forced into something wrong without a choice, he hates it, he detests it, he doesn't like it at all. And he's trying full effort to get out of it. That's a different situation. And from this, we learned that if we are ever in a situation like this, that we are being forced to take the wrong option, that we should feel guilty at heart, we should not be happy with it, when when we're taking an option, that is not correct.
And we should constantly seek forgiveness from Allah subhanaw taala.
And when a person makes up his mind, to leave the bed, to leave the wrong to leave the prohibited than what will happen, Allah will provide him many opportunities, many other ways, many other options, but he has to come out to see them, he has to leave what he has in order to take advantage of the other opportunities. And as long as a person is struggling, as long as a person is trying,
then inshallah forgiveness and mercy is there for him. He is guilty. When he is settled with less he is guilty when he is okay with compromising. When he doesn't feel that he's doing anything bad. That is where he is wrong.
So I found that like sometimes, what like, especially myself when I you know, don't put as much effort as I should for studying or whatever I have to do. And a lot of times I feel like I make these excuses just to cover up my own guilt. So it's just to try and make myself feel better, even though I know inside that what I've done is completely wrong. This is just like what bliss did. Allah asked him Menaka What stopped you from doing such the? What did he say? And I don't mean who I'm better than him. He came up with the justification he came up with an excuse, was it accepted? No, what was it all for him and her then get out of here leave. But then he ended up doing more
wrong. Right, because when you take the wrong path, then you go further and further into it.
And he said, I will mislead people for be metal wait any I will mislead all of them. Every single one of them I will try to elaborate where they're coming home when we're closing. So when a person takes the wrong path, then he goes deeper and deeper into it. When you realize you've done something wrong. Allah shows you your sin. What's necessary, take a U turn, repent, seek forgiveness immediately. The Renaissance also made a mistake Dinty he ate of the fruit of the tree which he was not allowed to do. But when he realized what did he say, of banana alumna and Forcella were ill and of Atlanta, what are him now then according to nominal capacity.
So when Allah shows us our mistakes that we are doing something wrong, than we have to leave it, we have to make up our mind. I'm not going to do this again. And once we get out of there, once we make up our mind, Allah will show us the way out Allah will guide but we have to accept the guidance first.
