Taleem al Quran 2012 – P10 105D Tafsir Al-Tawbah 41-45

In fiero, go forth, meaning all of you go forth khlifa often lightly with your colon, and heavily. Meaning regardless of what your state is, at this time, every single one of you has to go forth in the way of Allah subhanaw taala. The word in Pharaoh is from the root letters, known Farah, and what does it mean? When an RME group of people, they go out, right, in order to chase something in order to achieve something, but how do they go with enthusiasm with zeal? So go forth rush. It's like get up and do something. So infill Why are you sitting? Go? How prefer fun with the Colin? P five is the plural of coffee F. And C call is the plural of sucky. What does Haviv mean, from the root letters?

Hoffa? Hoffa, you have fifth? What does it mean to be light? And sottile? is the opposite of that. So what would that be to be heavy? Now? What is it that makes a person light? And what is it that makes a person feel heavy? It could be something tangible, and also something intangible. Like for example, if you have no responsibilities, no work, no assignments, no stress in your life, then how do you feel light or heavy? Light, you're so light, that you can just get up and go do something spontaneously is in itself, because you're like, you don't have any responsibility. Somebody asks you, can you go get me a cup of coffee from Tim Hortons, you're like, Sure, get up and go right

away. All right, because your light, on the other hand is a person who has a lot of responsibilities on his head, whether it is family, or it is the stress of work. If you ask them, Can you please come with me? They were like, No, but my children and my this and my that they've got too much with them. Right? So they're heavy, it's difficult for them to just get up and do something. All right. Likewise, what makes a person light is his physical strength. Because when a person is physically active, he can move about easily. But when a person is physically weak, then that makes it difficult for him to get up and go, like, for example, if you have a headache, even Is it easy for you to get

up? No, then it's very heavy, very difficult. If your eyes are hurting, if you have a cold, right, if you have a physical injury, if you're tired and exhausted, because of a lot of hard work again, you feel heavy. All right. Now, if you think about it, a person is either feeling heavy, or he is feeling fatigued.

He is in one of these two conditions. It could be that he's feeling the keel or huffy, because of some internal reasons, or some external factors. Okay, internal could be his own struggles. External could be the weather, okay, it could be the responsibilities that he has the work that he's got the family that he has to take care of, take the example of weather in the summer, what do you have to do just get up and go? In the winter? You have to think twice, do I really, really have to go? Because I know what it's going to take me to do. I have to put on my appropriate clothes and my boots and my jacket and my mittens and my hat, and then go outside and then clean the car, and then

go. So you think many times over before you do anything. So what does Allah subhanaw taala say over here, that when you're feeling light and able, physically active, when you have the resources, then you should go in the way of Allah? What does the ISA in Feudal, he FAFEN? What the Colin, regardless of how you're feeling, regardless of what circumstances you're in, regardless of what burden you're carrying on your head on your back, regardless of what stress you have in your life. The dean needs you. The dean needs you, you have the ability to do something right now. So don't just sit there, get up and do something. But what do we think generally, that when everything's okay, when we have

the physical strength, when we've got nothing to do when we're free, then we can offer some services for our religion. But what does Allah subhanaw taala say here, regardless of how you're doing, regardless of how you're feeling, regardless of what your situation is, in fuel CLI FAFEN what the Colin whether you're

Young or you're old, whether you are lazy or active, whether you're poor or rich, whether you have a lot of resources, or very few resources, whether you're strong or weak, whether you have to go on foot, or you have a mount on which you can write, whether you're free or you're busy, you're sick, or you're healthy, you're married, or you're single,

what you have to do, you have to do, isn't it? So?

You know, sometimes, let's say they're doing their graduate studies. And sometimes they're doing it part time. In their class, there will be people who are coming straight from work,

or right after class, they have to go straight to work. There are women who are pregnant, okay, there are people who are managers. But for those studies, they have made time recently somebody was telling me, they're looking into doing an MBA, and they're looking into different options. And they were saying about how there's a part time option in one of the schools. And the class is from 7am 7am, till about 2pm, or 3pm, or something like that. And they were telling me that there are people who actually do it. Imagine 7am, you're in downtown sitting in a classroom. And it's not like after to your free, you know what that means? After that you have to go to work.

After that, you have to go to work. So don't they have a lot on their plate already? Are they crazy? They're doing that? If somebody is doing this, would you call them crazy?

Would you say that you're taking it too hard on yourself? What would you say? Yeah, you know what, go ahead, do it. It's only a little bit of time, sacrifice, work hard, and inshallah it will be good. In a few years, you'll see the benefit of doing this isn't it's all. So sometimes it happens that in worldly matters, also, it doesn't matter whether you're pregnant, or you have five kids or you have a job, what you have to do, you have to do, isn't it doesn't matter whether it took you an hour and a half to get to work because of the snowstorm. You have to get to work you have to get to work, doesn't matter if at 1am Your answering emails, doesn't matter why? Because what you have to

do you have to do, right? So Allah subhanaw taala told us in federal he FAFEN with Colin, there are some situations where the Dean demands such work from you. It's not like every single day, this is expected of you. But there are times when this will be required. So at that time, don't stay back. Don't make an excuse. Rather get up and go ahead in federal he FAFEN with you, Colin. And we see that there is a companion of the Prophet sallallahu wasallam we learned about Allah, He recited Surah Toba and when he was reciting the Surah, imagine from Bara Ottoman Allah He also Lee when he reached this idea in philosophy five and with you, Colin, he said, I see that Allah had called us to

mobilize whether we are old or young. And he was really old at that time. And he said to his children, or my children, prepare my supplies, meaning get my stuff ready. I want to go out I want to go for Jihad and join the Muslim armies. His children said me Allah show mercy on you. You did Jihad along with the messenger of allah sallallahu Sallam until he passed away. And then when Abu Bakr was the Khalifa again you did you have until he passed away, then when it remote was Khalifa you did you have until he passed away, meaning all your life, you've done it now you're old, you're not required anymore. You'd like people to know You're old now you can retire.

I will tell her refused. And he insisted he had his stuff ready. And he went out to the sea, meaning where the Muslim armies were. And basically, he was on a ship. And he was old, he passed away on the ship. And the army was at sea for a very long time. And they could not find any land nearby. Or they could just go and bury his body for nine days. Imagine his body was on the ship. But you know what the people said his body was exactly the same. It hadn't changed even a little bit.

Can you imagine?

By the sea, actually on that water. There is a body not buried for how long nine days, but it had no signs of deterioration or change at all. But there's a very good example in this for us. That when we find out that the deen of Allah needs us then doesn't matter what your state is get up and go get up and do something in federal he FAFEN what you call and basically this means no excuses. No excuses whatsoever. But generally, is it that we make excuses all the time? I'm hungry. I'm tired. I have this assignment. Do I have that work to do? So that's why I can't do this.

I'll do it later. I'll do it later. And what happens that later never comes. So this is why whatever it has to be done, just do it right now. give priority to the deen of Allah and everything will fall in place. What do we think when everything is set, then we will do something. But it's actually the other way around. When you give priority to the religion of Allah, then everything will fall in place. I've seen with many women that what happens is when they have their children, first child, especially, they say, Oh, I have to wait until my child is a little older, until my child has a routine. And then I will do something, whether it is going back to school, or coming to a class,

whatever it may be. But you know what happens? That child never develops a perfect routine. Why? Because the mother doesn't have a routine. She's sleeping in, she's up too late. She's eating at random hours, she's taking a nap at random hours, right? But when she knows I have to be out of the house at nine o'clock. I have a class at 11 Then she'll be very particular about her childhood routine. And when children have a routine from a very young age than they learned to be cooperative, then they're used to that routine themselves. Actually children they thrive. When they have a routine, it's best for them. So we think when everything is in place, then we'll do something. But

the fact isn't when you will give priority to Allah subhanaw taala and his religion, then everything will fall in place. It's Allah's promise that He will definitely help those who help his cause. Allah's help comes to those who help his cause. So in federal refer often what you call and what Jay Do and strive be unwelcome or unfussy. Come with your properties and your lives. Why are you holding your money back? Why are you holding your life back? How many years will you save? Whatever you've been given, use it for the sake of Allah. Fie, Sabine, Allah in the way of Allah, they rarely come higher luck on that is better for you. In quantum tarla. Moon, if you were to know, if you knew this

would be much, much better for you. If you think about are the five daily prayers? What lesson do they give us? That do everything and then pray

punctuality right that there are certain things that are you at a certain time, whether you have a headache, or you're sleeping, or you want to take a break, doesn't matter whether you're at school or at work at home, whether it's the weekday or weekend, when you have to pray, you have to pray, no matter where you are, stop everything and pray. And then what happens? People who give priority to their swallow, then everything else falls in between and it gets done. Isn't it's all it gets done. But if we think of it the other way, I have to get all my work done. And if I find time, I will praise Allah. Then are you able to praise Allah? No. Are you able to get your things done? No. So

the five daily prayers that teach us that when something comes from Allah that has to be given priority, when you will give priority to that inshallah everything will fall in place.

Lo Cana, if it was out of luck, again periurban near I love, what does Arnold mean? Benefit? Okay, I'll go ahead and add the goods of this life. So if it was a gain, that was bereaved, that was mere, when something is near, it seems achievable. Possible, right? So I don't want to curry been means that if the game meaning victory, booty was near meaning it seemed likely, it seemed possible due to the people in general, was so foreign and a journey that was costly, then moderate postulate of solid then mocked us, right, balanced, moderate that which is in the middle. So if the journey was moderate, meaning neither too long nor too short, then what would the people do let the verruca

surely they would have followed you, but let the verruca surely they would have followed you? What is this referring to the journey to the book? Because remember that the journey to the book was a very long journey, a very difficult journey. Okay. And besides, the confrontation was with who, with the Romans,

which seemed very difficult victory against the Roman seemed very unlikely. Any booty not expected? Any material gains not expected? All right. So Allah subhanaw taala says here, that these people if they knew that the journey was moderate, and the gain

was definite meaning they would have definitely gotten something out of this expedition. What would they do? They would have certainly followed you. They would have certainly followed you.

Allah says we're lacking but baru that it became distant. What became distant. I lay him upon them a shocker. The difficult journey. Show Cashion cough cough. What does that mean? Difficulty? So Shaka is a journey. Okay, that is difficult. Why is it difficult? Because it's far?

No, but like a journey is difficult sometimes because it's very long. And other times it's difficult because of its nature. Okay? Like, for example, if you have to take a flight somewhere, for 12 hours, you're like, Okay, fine, nevermind, I'm gonna just going to be sitting in an airplane. But if you know that, that airplane is a very old one, and the seats are very tiny. Okay, and the filler to the maximum capacity like sometimes people do. I'm sure you've been on such flights and what happens you dread that flight, isn't it? And if somebody tells you it's a 14 hour flight, but you have the seat in business class, you're like, yeah, no problem. Of course. No problem. I don't mind. I'll

have a movie marathon.

One movie after the other in my comfy seat. I don't mind at all. But if it's an economy class, you're like, may Allah protect me.

Because the seats are horrible. Tight, right. And everybody's just standing on top of your head, the smell the stuffiness, it just gets to you. All right. So it's not just the length of the journey that makes it difficult. It's also the nature of the journey. If you're driving, and the road is very bumpy, all right, then it's difficult. So anyway, while I can borrow that early humor, Chaka, the difficult journeys seem too long to them seem too difficult to them too distant. Because if it's one hour even that you have to travel one hour, but if that one hour, is on a very bumpy road, or when you're feeling sick and nauseous, then that one hour is also extremely difficult, isn't it so?

So while I can borrow that early human Chaka it seemed to impossible for them, they didn't want to go ahead. They didn't want to take this upon themselves what I can borrow that early humans Chaka, and this is a reason why they didn't go ahead. So in this ayah, who has been criticized the hypocrites, that they're so selfish, that if they do anything for the sake of Allah, if they do anything for the deen of Allah, it is only for personal gains. If the destination was near the booty was definite, they would have certainly gone forth. But because the destination is far, the booty is unlikely. They don't want to give up anything. The Manasa who always says what's in it for me, what

can I get out of this? He always wants more than what he is giving. He doesn't want to commit for a long time. But what do we see here? What does Allah subhanaw taala want from us? That whatever it is, whatever it is long or short, difficult or easy? You should not be thinking about yourself, you should be thinking about the deen.

Don't be concerned about yourself be concerned about the welfare of the religion. I mean, think about it, if a person has a whole lot of money that he saved, okay, why, for something that he wants to get later in life, and now all of a sudden there's an urgent need an urgent need, like, for example, somebody in the family is really sick. Or for instance, a lot of money needs to be spent on somebody's education or a loan that was unexpected. What will people do? Will they keep that money to themselves? No, they will spend that money, all that money that they had saved up, they will spend it willingly on their child's education, they will spend it willingly on the family car, they

will spend it willingly on the treatment of their loved one, isn't it? They won't say but what about all these savings?

What about all my hard work? No regrets over there. People will spend 1000s of dollars on their weddings, isn't it? But when it comes to the dean, then what happens to us? We have a different standard over there. A completely different standard. There's this lady we met and she's from the Philippines. And she had mentioned a couple of months ago that she was going to go there. And recently we saw her again. So we're like we didn't go. She said no because of the floods. Remember that happened in Philippines. She said that the family home was destroyed completely. So instead of her taking a vacation and spending all that money on her ticket and going there, she said I spent

that money instead to

Fix that house. So right now I don't have enough money to go.

So She sacrificed her trip to help the family is she living in that house, or her parents living in the house? No, it was a grandparent or somebody's house, belong to the whole family. But she is doing her part. She's sacrificing her vacation to save the family house. Many times it happens that we sacrifice our personal needs, our personal enjoyment, for the sake of all, for the sake of our family, our loved ones, the Dean should be more beloved to us than our loved ones. It should be more beloved to us than our family.

But we see that it is only those who believe truly believe, to whom the religion is more precious to whom their religion is more valuable. Well, I can borrow that early humor Chaka, Allah says was a California Biller, and they will swear by Allah. Louis, the foreigner. If we were able Mahajan, American, surely we would have gone out with you. They will come to you presenting false excuses that oh, we really, really wanted to go but we didn't get a chance we couldn't afford. They will come up with excuses. But the thing is that something that you want to do, do you have any excuses for that? Do you have any excuses for that? No. Don't people go to a different city almost every day

just to go to their school. Just to go to their university, just to go to their work. Don't they drive an hour back and forth? Don't they bus it? Our back and forth? They do. If you ever go to the gas station. What do you see over there so many cars parked? Have you seen their new parking lot? The one in Mississauga, I was shocked. A multi story parking lot huge, massive. You think it would be for a mall? But what is it for, for people who are going just to the nearby city for work for school, or for something like that? Where there's a will, there is a way there's always a way. And if a person himself is not determined, then the slightest reason is sufficient to derail him. It is

enough to make him change his mind. So they will come swearing before you will say you're gonna be Lehi Luis de Karna Mahajan, America. Allah says, You've Licona and for sounder, destroying themselves, how are they destroying themselves by presenting these false excuses by lying?

But how are they destroying themselves by lying? Because, first of all, they're staying back from a great opportunity. Secondly, they're lying. They're swearing by Allah. They're making false oats. They're depriving themselves of height. And on top of that they're lying. They're depriving themselves and they're incurring sin, destroying themselves will lower your alarm. And Allah knows in the homeless, aka the bone. Indeed, they are liars. Indeed, they are liars. Allah knows that. The thing is that Allah subhanaw taala knows what ability we have, how much time we have, we can make an excuse before another person. But Allah knows whether that's excuses really valid or not. Because

sometimes it happens and we say, we don't have time to do this. We don't have time to do our lesson. But do we have time to go out and eat? Do we have time to watch a movie? Do we have time to hang out with our friends? Of course. Because something that you want to do? You prioritize that? So the dean, we need to prioritize that. Allah subhanaw taala says Alpha Allah Hua Anka, may Allah pardon you are if Allah who I file you pardon, Allahu Allah Anca from you. May Allah pardon you, oh, Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Lima, why didn't you permitted le home for them? Why did you allow them? Allow who? The hypocrites allow them what? To stay behind. Because you see, when the

Prophet saw a lot of sudden made this clear announcement, we're going to the book and everybody has to go somewhere to Makkah, and all the neighboring tribes that everybody has to go to the book, what happened? People started making preparations. But there were others who had made up their mind from the beginning, we're not going to go and instead of spending their time thinking about how they could go, they spent their time thinking about false excuses that they could present before the prophets all along.

So what happened? They came to the Prophet saw a lot of sun presented their excuse, and the prophets and a lot of them said fine, stay back, don't go. Because you know what the Prophet saw a lot isn't it was a very kind person. And he dealt with people on the surface. All right, which is why we see that there

hypocrites continuously Allah subhanaw taala advised him, ignore them, whether they lie to you, whatever they do, just ignore them. Don't confront them. So anyway, here also what happened that when the people came and presented their faults excuses the most lame excuses, the Prophet salallahu Salam just turned his face away from them. And that meant fine. It's okay. It showed disapproval on his part. He didn't approve of it. He didn't like that. But he just accepted it.

Because what are you meant to? Do?

You ask someone to do something. They don't do it. And they present excuses. What are you going to do argue with them? Can you argue with them? Even if you do? Where will you end up? If a person has made up his mind? They don't want to do it. The more you talk to them, the more disgusted you will be, the more hurt and upset you will be,

isn't it? Because if the other person is lying, one lie after the other, the more they speak, the more annoyed you will be. So what is best viewed as a fine? Like, for example, you ask someone, did you pay your Salah? And they say, Yeah, I did. Your budget? Yeah, I did. And you see that they're still lying in their bed.

They're still lying in their bed. There is no traces of voodoo on their face. The prayer mat is not even unfolded. There is no hijab. anywhere to be found. Yeah, I did. What are you going to say? What are you going to say? No, but I don't see your hijab and I don't see this and I don't see that. What are you supposed to do? Fine.

Fine. What can you do? So the Prophet saw a lot of sin and Walsall. That's what he did. He just said, okay, you don't want to go, don't go he turned his face away. Allah subhanaw taala revealed to him afterwards May Allah pardon you. Why did you allow them? Meaning you should not have allowed them you should not have accepted their excuses. You should have said no, you have to go. Had that until yet obey Jana laka it became clear to you who became clear to you and Latina Sadako those who were truthful, what Turla and you would know Alka they mean the liars, you should not have allowed them because then you would have known who is truthful and who is lying.

You know how there's two kinds of people, one, those who have a genuine reason, a genuine excuse a valid reason because of which they can't do something.

And what happens is that when you tell them, they ask you for something and you say no, then what will happen, they will try their best and do the work isn't at all or they will take your permission and only then stay behind. Okay? The other type of people are those who make false excuses. They take leave without permission without prior notice. And what happens is that if they do bother to inform you even or take permission from you, okay, and you say no, what will they do? Will they listen to you? They're not going to listen to you they're still going to do what they want to. So the prophets Allah Allah some installed you should not have allowed them because then you would have

known who is really genuine and who was lying over here. What diet obey yen Allah cannula Lavina Sadako, what tharla Mal Caribbean, but what do we learn from this for ourselves? What's the lesson that when something is expected of us, there is an important task and important duty that has been assigned to us? Should we keep away from it? And present excuses? No, no more excuses because people who are successful in life, they do not make excuses. They do not make any excuses. They don't allow themselves to fail. You know, we learn that a companion of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam once he went to a masjid. And the event had already been pronounced and the salah had already been

pronounced. But he understood the importance of praying in Jamara. In congregation he knew the reward of Allah then he knew the reward of karma. He knew that the reward of praying in congregation is many times more than praying just by yourself. So you know what he did? He gave the event. He kept the comma. He got a few people together. And he prayed with them in congregation. He didn't accept it. That Oh, I got laid. So it's okay. I'll just pray on my own. No, he had set a high standard for himself. And he didn't let anything get in the way. Anything at all. And this is who successful people are. They don't make excuses for themselves. And the fact is that something that

you like, something that you take seriously, you really don't make excuses for that. Do you ever make an excuse for not taking a shower?

I didn't have time to take a shower, or the water was too cold. That's why I haven't bathed in six days. Really? Would you do that? Even if you have freezing cold water in your house? What would you do? Go turn the cattle on. Right? Fill a bucket with water and take a shower. Even if you're shivering, you'll still take a shower. Why? Because you don't accept yourself to be nasty, smelly, right? You don't allow yourself to be dirty like that. So even if you have to take those extra steps, what will you do? You will take that shower. You're hungry? You're hungry. There is no food. What are you gonna do? Make excuses over there? Oh, I'm hungry. There's no food in the refrigerator.

So I'm just gonna go to sleep hungry? Are you going to do that? No. You're gonna go online and check which restaurant is open right now? Where do they have a good deal? Free delivery? Right? Just eat.com? Or what? Do you have it right? And then you will make an order. Even if it's 12 o'clock in the night doesn't matter. You look crazy. Doesn't matter. I'm hungry. I need food.

Right? I know this friend of mine who when she was pregnant, she was she used to crave watermelon. She used to crave watermelon. Okay, and it was winter. Imagine. So you don't really find watermelon easily. So one night, the middle of the night. She's like, I've really, really, really want watermelon. And her husband's like, What are you talking about? Like, I really want watermelon? I want it now. I want it now for the chapter like where do they get it from? So they checked, which stores which grocery stores are open 24 hours. So they found one which was not really that close to their house. But imagine the middle of the night they went got a watermelon and she ate that? Did

they look crazy? Perhaps? Did they care? No. Because they wanted that watermelon. So she got it and she ate it. So what you want to do, what is important to you, no excuses over there. Right. And this is how we need to be. There are certain things in our life that we have to get done. Like for example, every Saturday, you come here, you have to have your lesson. Every Sunday, you have to have your lesson to just accept it, I have to have it done. I cannot go to class without having done my lesson. Just accept it. Accept this fact. You know, make a pledge with yourself. And once you've accepted it, then really you will do it. You will sit outside in the car, come 10 minutes early, sit

in the cold and do your lesson before you walk in.

Why? Because it's a commitment that you've made. It's something that you've accepted. But if you haven't accepted this, this is something that I have to do, then what will happen. You'll walk into the group without your lesson done. And when the group in charge will ask you did you do your lesson you just look down or look away and said no, I was too busy. Why I had guests over? Why I slept in why I had this I had that. So many excuses, right? So something that you have to do a principle in life is what no excuses will work over there. This is the sign of successful people. And that's exactly what Allah subhanaw taala says lay yesterday the NACA he will not seek permission from you

from Yvan Hamza al noon, who will not take permission from you to stay behind Alladhina Umina Billahi William will ask those people who believe in Allah and the Last Day, those who have the right kind of fear, who fear Allah, who knows that on the Day of Judgment, everything will be displayed. Allah knows my reality. Those people will never make an excuse. They will never seek your permission from staying behind from what Anuj he will be unwilling what and forcing him that they should strive with their properties and their lives with Allah who are Lima Minmatar kin and Allah is Knowing of those people who have Taqwa. Allah knows who has Taqwa. Because really, when we're

making excuses, who are we deceiving ourselves? We're telling ourselves, it's okay. You know, I'm very busy, I really can't do it. But the thing is that, you know, whether you can do it or not, aren't there times when you've gotten something done? Like literally in two, three minutes, because it was important to you. You've gotten an assignment done in less than an hour, because you realize that it was due. And if you don't submit it, you're going to lose 10% of your marks. We have done things like that, right? Always. When something is expected of us, and we weren't able to do it before, then what happens five minutes before we're scrambling away, but we managed to get it done.

Why? Because we realize we have to do it. So likewise, the one who fears Allah subhanaw taala he knows that when it comes to the matter of religion, whether it is studying the Quran or doing anything, this is a commitment that I've made with Allah and Allah knows me more than any

But he else so I cannot make an excuse before Allah. No excuse will work over there. So the one who fears Allah will never ever ask to remain behind he will never make an excuse. Rather he will do his best to go out in the way of Allah. Will Allah who are Limon Bill McLaughlin and Allah knows the people who have Taqwa. Now, does this mean that the people who have Eman, everything so easy for them, this is why they're able to go forth in the way of Allah.

Because this is what we typically say that if someone is doing a lot for the deen, then they must have it really easy, they must have a lot of family support, you know, this is the only reason why they're able to do it. And the rest of us we don't have that kind of support. We don't have the kind of time we have too many obligations. This is why they don't understand is that so? No, the thing is that every single person, every single person, he's got problems in his life. Okay, he's got things to do in his life, they may be different than yours. But remember the things in their life, they are enough as a challenge for them. Just because they're different from your challenges doesn't mean

that they have an easy, they have a difficult in their own way. And each person is tested in his life in a different manner. And each person What is Allah subhanaw taala examining were unnecessary a console for Euro, how much is it that you are striving? How much is it that you're struggling? And the thing is that that when a person strives, he takes that step he goes forward, that Allah's help also comes? Then Allah subhanaw taala facilitates that path for him. I mean, these days, if you look, you find so many examples of people who have many problems in their life, yet they are struggling. I mean, just yesterday we learned about Robert villa, I mean, think about it, a person

who is physically suffering so much, but he has memorized. But at that time he had memorized and solos of the Quran.

If I were to ask you Do you know at least until Rose of the Quran? Would you be able to say Yes, unfortunately, many of us we won't be able to say that. Why? Because we have excuses. We have excuses, reasons, reasons. I have this to do I have that to do. I don't have time to memorize the Quran. I don't have time to improve my prayer. There are people who are suffering more than us. Remember what we've been taught that when it comes to the matter is off. duniya look at those people who are who have less than you. Right? Who are suffering more than you. So always look at people who are suffering more than you. And never think that people who are doing more in religion is just

because everything is easy for them. The Prophet sallallahu sallam was he not an avid the one who did very bad with your son? Yes. Was his life easy? Has his life easy? No way. I shall do though on her said that sometimes days would pass and the only things that they would have in their house to eat were what? The two black things? What was she referring to dates and water.

And imagine after that a person is standing in prayer

for hours until the feet swell. I should it reminds me of the example of profit or you will listen and he was very wealthy and handsome and smart and everything he had, you know, business family from wealth property. So and he was Abdullah he would worship Allah day and night. And we will say why wouldn't you believe that? Um, do that because he has everything in this world. Of course, if anybody should do about that should be him because he's got everything, everything. So then unless Mandela tested him with everything from his health, from his wealth from his family, he lost everything. And they said that he didn't have his family anymore. No children, no business, no

house, and the kind of illness he was going through was not something small. And then a lot he used to worship Yeah, and Hamdulillah. And then I lost one that I gave him everything back after a long test. Yes. So it happens. People who make excuses, they justify they're wrong. Or they justify, they're not putting in any effort and others who are an example for them, they say of course they should be doing it. My situation is different. I am in a different situation. But the fact is that each person belongs to Allah subhanaw taala. And each person is tested in a unique way. They have tests and you have tests. Don't talk about others. Think about yourself, what are you supposed to

do? What are you supposed to do? Allah says that those who believe in Allah and the Last Day, they will not take your permission to stay behind from striving in the way of Allah with their properties in their lives will Allah who are Lehmann, Bill Motoki and Allah knows that

People who have Taqwa, then who takes permission who presents excuses, in NAMA, indeed not but yesterday the Nuka he seeks permission from you. How? By offering false excuses who Alladhina Allah you may know Nabila, he those people who do not believe in Allah, while yo will acid and the last day those who don't believe in Allah in the last day because of the truly believed they would not have made that excuse me yesterday, we learned about the comparison of the dunya and the alpha. If they truly believed in that asset or the home of Jana, the home of the Hereafter the vastness of Jana. Would they make an excuse to stay behind from that? Never. While tablet guru boom and their

hearts are doubting it dabit it is doubting it's full of doubt. From Ray briah for him V Ray beam so they are in their doubt yet or the dune they're hesitating yet a lot the doulas from Tara dude wrote that it's basically to go back and forth. You know, when you're confused, you're not sure. Should I should I not? Is this right? Or is this wrong? It should this be done? Or Should this be left yet? Or don't confused? indecisive, not able to make a decision already.

So what is it that makes a person do something despite difficulty? conviction? I have to do it. This is right.

I have to do it. This is right. Then it doesn't matter what situation you're in, then you'll get up and do it. But when you are shaky, when you're hesitant, you're not confident inside, then are you able to do something? No, then the slightest challenge will be enough to derail you. Let me give you an example. There are some people who get it for Fudger. Why? Because it's time to Roger, you're supposed to get up and pray. So what happens they hear an alarm to hear a sound somebody calls them instantly. They're up in a minute or two, whatever, however long it takes them, they get up. And there are others who say, but she should wake up first.

She should wake up first, or for many women, my husband should get up first. They're waiting. So what happens then you gotta first know you gotta first know you gotta first know you get it first. And then what happens? Salah is delayed and delayed and delayed. What do you know, this is something you have to do that you don't wait. Others doing it or not? Has she done it yet? Or not? Well, you just kind of undo it. Okay. But when you have the slightest doubt, maybe you know somebody else will do it. Then you stay behind confidence makes you jump ahead and doubt makes you stay behind whatever Hello boom for him V Arabia him yet or the dune?

Willow Urdu. And if they had intended alhaja the going out if they had intended to go for the hypocrites than I do, surely they would have definitely prepared the WHO for it meaning for that going or done some preparation? Or does from Arendelle doll and what does it mean preparation? We discussed this earlier as well. It's basically from the word or that or that means number because when you prepare, the first thing is that you count, right to make sure that it's sufficient. So if they were really intending to go, they would have made some preparations, at least if you're planning to travel somewhere. What's the first thing you do? Preparation? What's the first thing you

do? Get your ticket? Right? are thinking about how you're going to get to your destination? Are you going to drive there? You're going to take a train there, you're going to take a bus there, what are you going to do there some preparation? It's not like 15 minutes before you have to leave the house. You're wondering how can I get my ticket? No. Or as you leave the house? You wonder so where are we going? No. If you're really intending to go somewhere you will prepare from before your actions will show. But then when naphthalene were there preparing, they weren't preparing the whole time they were just commenting on the state of the believers and walking at them making fun of the charities

that they brought. One of the Muslims he brought a handful of dates and the prophets of laws and and put that on top of the pile of wealth that had been collected. And the moon Africa and they made fun. They said oh, they're gonna go conquer the Romans with a handful of dates. They're gonna go conquer the Romans with a handful of dates. They made fun. Instead of preparing, what were they doing, commenting, and this is the bad habit of some people. They don't do anything themselves. What do they do? What do they do? Talk Talk, talk talk, common common common comment, tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet. Right? If it's really important to you, then do something. Some people just talk and

other people, they do it. So we need to be of those people who do something. Not just

Talk about it

some people are a source of motivation for others and others are a source of weakness for others. In a group of people, every group of people, whether it's a family, or it's a group of friends, or it's a group of people who are working together for a cause.

There are always those who hold everyone together, they motivate others, we have to do this doesn't matter if it's difficult, we are going to do it.

But then there are some other people who create weakness in the group because they're afraid themselves. And so they spread that fear and weakness amongst the rest of the people. So we need to ask ourselves, what do we contribute? are we contributing in a positive way? Or are we contributing to the weakness of the group that we are in whatever it may be? Are we the ones whining and complaining are the ones who are positive and spreading that positivity
