			Lesson number 108 02 Toba. I remember 75 to 93 Women home and from them man who are herder he made a
covenant with who Allah with Allah. Meaning from among the hypocrites, there are those who make
promises with Allah. Over here, more characteristics more habits are exposed, that what kind of
people are Muna 15. And in this we need to reflect on ourselves that these are the traits of
hypocrisy. Is there something like this that exists in me? Is this my habit? Also, do I do this once
in a while? Also, have I done this in the past? Am I doing this right now? And if we find anything
in ourselves what is necessary that we discontinue that we stop that because remember that one trade
		
00:00:49 --> 00:01:34
			of hypocrisy leads to another which leads to another person goes down the slippery road until he's
in such a mess that he cannot come back. What are some of the common signs common indications of
hypocrisy when he speaks? He lies when he makes a promise. He breaks it right? And when an Amana is
deposited with him, what does he do? He is treacherous, right? Earlier we also learned in these
verses that they come to the prayer how lazily how do they spend? Reluctantly, they don't like to
spend in the way of Allah. There is hesitation over there. All right. And then we also learned that
they hurt the Prophet salallahu Salam, they lie openly. They swear a lot. All right. They present
		
00:01:34 --> 00:02:02
			false excuses. They don't like to exert any effort in the way of Allah they just like to stay back
and for that they will come up with the most lame excuses even. Now, over here, what is it that we
learned that among them are those who make a promise with Allah? And what is that promise that law
in surely if aterna He gave us men fugly from His bounty, Lenin, salud de cana, surely we will
definitely give sadaqa
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:55
			surely we will definitely give charity we will spend in the way of Allah while an akuna and Charlie
we will definitely be Minnesota Lahaina those who are righteous, meaning I'm an ethic. He doesn't
look at what he can do, in the way of Allah. Firstly, you'll come up with an excuse. I can't do
this. Because you know, I'm too weak. You're gonna put me into fitna the most lamest excuses, right?
And then another excuses what? That I don't have anything to give. I hope Allah will give me money.
I hope Allah will enrich me. You know, I really hope to do this one day as well. I don't have the
time. I'm too busy. I don't have money right now. I hope Allah will let me do this. Pray for me.
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:59
			Somebody who wants to do something?
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:08
			Who's made up his mind that yes, I'm going to do this. Are they stopped by the lack of resources?
No.
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:16
			Are they stopped by the lack of cooperation? No. You see some children. They're like go getters,
okay?
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:54
			They ask for candy. And you're like, No, you can't have it right now. What are they gonna do?
They're gonna look at you blink their eyes thinking thinking, they're gonna go grab a chair, push
it, push it, push it all the way to the cupboard, where the candy is, they're gonna climb on it.
They're gonna climb up, up, up, up, up, and they're gonna get what they want. Even if the fall in
the way and get hurt, doesn't matter. My mom said, No, who cares? I want that candy. I'm gonna go
get it. You don't give it to me. I'll go get it. Do this stop anywhere. You threaten them, you're
gonna get a timeout. You threatened them, you're not gonna getting any candy. It doesn't work,
		
00:03:55 --> 00:04:28
			doesn't work. This happens with children. And this also happens with adults. There are people whose
family will tell them, we're not going to financially support you at all. If you do this, you're
going to be grounded. This is going to happen, that's going to happen to the stop. No. Because once
a person is sincere in his intention, right? He's sincere in his goal that yes, this is something
that I want to do, then there is nothing stopping them. It doesn't matter if they don't have money.
It doesn't matter if they have a disability. They want to do it. They will do it.
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:49
			But others who are just trying to please and satisfy the people who are around them. What do they
say, oh, you know what? I don't have time right now. Maybe in a month. Maybe pray for me. I'll do
it. I don't have the resources right now. Maybe after two years. Pray for me.
		
00:04:51 --> 00:05:00
			But if it's really important to you, then what will you do? You will do it right now. So the NFL
clean. They have a lot of money to spend on their show.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:42
			During to spend on their food to spend on their clothing, on their houses on their fragrances. But
when it comes to spending in the way of Allah when it comes to going for Hajj, they will say, let in
turn on Lachman fugly. If Allah gives us we'll do it. So they're basically blaming Allah, I really
want to do it. Allah doesn't give me I would really like to do this. But you know if Allah were to
solve this problem for me, if this problem in my life will be resolved, then I will do this and this
and this. So amongst the hypocrites are also those who say If Allah blesses us with money,
definitely we will spend and charity and we will be of the righteous we will support this Islamic
		
00:05:42 --> 00:06:25
			cause we will support that Islamic cause and we will go for Hajj when the Quran Amina salah, hey
will do a lot of riba will go for Hajj. But what happens Philomathean When at home, he gave them in
fugly from His bounty, when Allah actually gives them they have the time, they have the money, what
happens, but he'll be He, they became stingy with it, meaning they didn't want to spend it in the
way of Allah. They became stingy. What the Well, no, and they turn away, well, whom already alone,
and they're actually those who turned away, meaning this is their habit, they always turn away
before also they turned away, they made an excuse I don't have, I can't. And now when Allah gave
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:35
			them the opportunity, they turned away as if they never made a commitment in the past, as if they
never made dua to Allah that Ya Allah, if you give this to me, I will do such and such.
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:48
			Making a promise with anybody means what that you have to fulfill it. If you're making a commitment,
then you have to fulfill it. And making a promise with Allah subhanaw taala is something very
serious.
		
00:06:49 --> 00:07:04
			What happens is that sometimes we find an opportunity to do something good. Learn something, read a
book, take a class, if we really want to do it, we pick up that book immediately and we start
reading.
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:47
			Correct? And if we are not really sincere and committed, then what do we do? We say yes, when I have
the time, then I'll read it. So yes, you put the book by your bedside. And then a month goes by and
you haven't even touched it. It's only collecting dust. And then eventually you're like, you know
what, I'll just put it back in the bookcase. And then it goes from one place to another to another
and you don't end up reading it. Why? Because you didn't really want to read it. If you actually
wanted to read it, what would you do? Open it up, you would grab the opportunity that is coming
before you. So there are some people who blame the circumstances always. I can't do this, because of
		
00:07:47 --> 00:08:00
			this. And this, I can't do this because of that and that. But there are others who take
responsibility that No, I have to make myself do it if it's important to me. And once you are
sincere in your Nia then Allah will definitely provide you with the opportunity.
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:20
			Well, one is that you made this genuine, sincere intention. Right. And for that sincere intention,
also a person is rewarded. If he doesn't get the opportunity, no problem because he was sincere in
his intention. So Allah will reward him for that. What's the problem over here? Not being sincere in
the intention even
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:30
			not being sincere in the intention? And how was that proven? That when Allah gives the opportunity,
a person doesn't avail it. At that time also, he turns away.
		
00:08:31 --> 00:09:14
			So I'm gonna go, I had a story to share with all of you. It's something that happened. Recently, a
friend of mine who studied Talmud Quran with us, she had to go back home to India to sort out some
problems. And when she was going, she bought almost half saying that Inshallah, I'm going to do the
Respironics Ramadan. And she did though the Quran. And then she had to stay in India, she's got four
children, and she put them in schools. They're in Islamic schools, so called Islamic schools. And
her daughter would come home and say, I was beaten. And my hijab was pulled off by the PT, teacher,
whatever. And then my friend would go and tell them and they would stop that with her kids. And they
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:55
			will do it with other kids. And she decided, no, I'm going to start an Islamic school. And one thing
she noticed was majority of the people in India are youth. And all of them are very far from the
religion. She said, there's two things that interests the pupil. One is having lavish weddings, and
other thing is cooking and eating. Besides that, she said, people not bothered about, you know what
to do with the children or with the youth. So she decided she's going to start a school. And then
she called up all her cousins who were in the states and said, Look, this is my plan. I'm going to
start a nonprofit organization. I want all of you to help me because these are our kids. They are
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:59
			from our OMA and they are going astray. So they all said okay, we're going to put it
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:39
			so much, whatever and she was very happy. And then the next thing they asked her, when your school
starts to make money, what is in it for us? And then she decided she's not going to go and take any
money from them. And she approached various foundations in the States. And they said, you know, we
maxed out our funds, we don't find people in India, whatever. And most of her relatives, they said
to me, silly, you're a woman, what can you do? You're gonna change all of society by yourself, go
back to Canada and raise your kids. She said, You know, the more they told me, the more determined I
am, that I'm going to do something. So she said, Do you know somebody in Saudi Arabia, I'm going for
		
00:10:39 --> 00:11:11
			Amara and Ramadan. Do you know somebody will help me with some funds, even to buy a piece of land?
I'll build the place myself, by whatever means I can, you know, she's so determined. I made dua and
I cried that day, I said, Oh, Allah, this is like, she's telling me, I'm all alone come out here. I
wish I could just check up whatever I'm doing, get on that flight, and go and help. I made a lot of
the work and ask all of you to make dua for her, that Allah help her and Insha Allah, she's so
determined, Allah will help.
		
00:11:13 --> 00:12:00
			So it's with the intention, right? determination that resolve. So some people, they just blame the
circumstances and say, it's not possible. It's not going to happen. And they just keep dreaming and
wishing. And even when Allah does provide them with the opportunity, they don't avail it. So this is
of hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is what be insincere. Right? So those were sincere, they make do with
whatever they have, and those were insincere. They will come up with excuses, one after the other.
So what happens for the man or woman fugly Bucky Looby? What are low Well, whom more real balloon
and they turn away? For the expedition to the book? What were the believers told in federal he found
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:48
			what he called them, whatever situation you're in, go for, it doesn't matter, you are weak, you are
tired, you are sick, you have, you know, your harvest doesn't matter go out in the way of Allah, no
excuses. So sometimes the situation is such that we have to do whatever we have to and we can't wait
for the ideal time. If we wait for the ideal time, then who knows, by the time that the situation is
ideal, we're not that motivated anymore. Right? Or there's something else that's occupying us, the
some people, they say, you know, if only I get married, then inshallah I will be so righteous. If
only you know, I have a job, then I will do such and such. So many people that say, You know what,
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:54
			many children you ask them, What do you want to be when you grow up? I want to be a doctor. Why?
Because I want to treat people for free.
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:58
			And then what happens? Where do those doctors go?
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:31
			Where do they call? They're busy building their own houses and their own villas, right? And they're
busy with their own family and their own children. And they say, oh, you know, what reality check.
There are too many problems in the world. And me, one person can't solve all those problems. Right?
So what happens, but it will be they became stingy with it. How many times is it that we think when
we learn about the reward of charity, you know, when I get my gold when I get married, I'm gonna
give half of it in the way of Allah. And then what happens when that gold actually comes?
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:37
			When we go, I only have this much, Buckley nubikk, they become stingy with it.
		
00:13:38 --> 00:14:21
			If only I have this blessing, if only Allah solve this problem for me, I'll do this and this and
this. Similar to him at this, I have reminded me why the present times call it a present, it's a
present for us right now. Because tomorrow might not belong to us today. So where is that we need to
take advantage of it all the way. Today is a present, right today is present. So take it as a
present and avail it. Use it don't wait for tomorrow, because tomorrow, things might change. And
your Nia might change and you might not be able to fulfill your dreams. So start working on them.
Now, you don't like to say if you have dreams and wake up, right? If you have dreams and wake up,
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:26
			the first thing you have to do is wake up and start working on fulfilling your dreams.
		
00:14:27 --> 00:15:00
			Somebody, when a person struggles during the time of difficulty, when it becomes easy for them,
they're already you know, so motivated to do it that when it becomes easier for them. They do more
than they did when they were struggling. Yes, very true. And if you wait for that easy time, then
what's going to happen? You're not going to have that motivation. Right? Like for example 100 law so
many of you have been coming here for two plus years now. At the beginning it was difficult every
week and was like oh, again again. And then now what happened?
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:42
			It's like, second nature, okay, Friday night, you're preparing for your class the next morning. It's
second nature, it becomes easier. And if you wait to graduate, if you wait until your children are
older, if you wait until you know you're done working, who knows if that time will ever come, and
who knows how much more busy you will be by then each day, you are increasing in your work. Right
now you're single, tomorrow you will be married and then the day after you will be having children
and then you have one child, and then you'll have more with each day, your work increases. So don't
delay what is important, do it now. And this way of making promises with Allah, let in Atlanta
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:50
			setting these conditions. Oh Allah, if you give me then I'll do it. But if you don't give me I'm not
going to do it.
		
00:15:51 --> 00:16:42
			Allah has given you already so much. And you can do so much with what you have right now. So do it.
Don't blame Allah don't set conditions with Allah and later on turn away. So those who turn away
Allah says what happens for our Cobra home, so he penalize them or Aqaba home from REM cough but
Erica, what does it record mean? Punishment archivists eel, so it is what punishment that follows a
said, a crime. So our cover home, they broke their promise with Allah so what happened? Allah punish
them he sent after them the punishment what punishment NIFA can hypocrisy feel Kenobi him in their
hearts as a result of this breaking their promises with Allah, what happened? Allah punish them. And
		
00:16:42 --> 00:17:27
			what was their punishment NIFA hypocrisy took place in their hearts and this hypocrisy, it became so
firmly rooted that it will remain Eli Yomi Alcona who, until the day they meet him, meaning until
they die basically, they're not going to repent from this hypocrisy, just like we discussed earlier.
It begins with an innocent crime. And then what happens when a person deviates, that Allah causes
their heart to deviate? Right over here, it seems as though Allah is to blame that Allah is making
them hypocrites. But that's not the way what happens. A person commits a crime, he breaks his
promise with Allah He lies, Allah gives him a chance to repent, the person does not take advantage.
		
00:17:27 --> 00:18:04
			He doesn't repent and Allah punishes him. So what happens for our cover home NIFA, confused Karoubi
Illa Yomi Alcona, who until the day they meet him, they will remain as hypocrites. Why the man of
love Allah because they went against, they broke their promise with Allah Malwa do that which they
had promised him they made a promise, and they broke that promise won't be mad. Can we actually moan
and because they used to lie. So two reasons for the birth of hypocrisy? What are those two reasons,
breaking promises, and lying, breaking promises and lying?
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:48
			When you've made a promise with Allah or with people, make sure it's a true promise you actually
intend to do it? If you don't intend to do it, that's a lie in itself. And once you make that
promise, fulfill it don't lie later on. Oh, I didn't really promise that. It's like many people in a
fundraiser, they'll get very emotional. And they will raise up their hand. Yes, I'll give $1,000 And
then what happens afterwards? During the fundraiser, they have so many figures $200,000 of actually
they're supposed to collect because it is how much people committed for and how much money is it
that they actually received from the people? How much is it? Maybe 50,000? Maybe 20,000? All those
		
00:18:48 --> 00:19:29
			pennies and coins that you know brought together? Maybe they'll add up to 50,000? The promises the
pledges that people made? Yes, I'll give 1000 I'll give 5000 Where are those promises? The people go
and hide. They don't show up. They never made that check. This is a lie. This is breaking a promise
with who with the people and with Allah. So what happens as a result, hypocrisy, then a person
becomes a hypocrite and that hypocrisy gets worse. And if we've ever made a mistake like that in the
past, we promised to help someone. We made an ear that we're going to spend in the way of Allah when
I have my job. I'm going to spend this much money in Allah's wit. And if we're not fulfilling those
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:33
			promises, what is important that we start fulfilling them now?
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:57
			Because otherwise, this is very dangerous for our Aqaba home the Falcon field. Kulu Brahim Illa yo
mele Kona, will be my UCLA for Lahoma. Or do who will be McCann who yuck the moon? Allah says Allah
may Allah Moon Do they not know and Allah Allah mu that indeed Allah knows cidre home their secret
when a dua home and their private conversations meaning Who are they trying to deceive?
		
00:19:58 --> 00:19:59
			When they make that false
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:05
			intention, whether it is SIFT, sift is what a secret when a person keeps in his heart.
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:08
			And Najwa is what a private conversation.
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:40
			So whether they keep something in their heart or they share with someone secretly doesn't allow
already know, he knows. So who are they trying to deceive? When they say, Yes, we will spend in the
way of Allah, yes, we will give this much and yes, we will do such and such good deed? Did Allah not
know when you made that intention? Yes, Allah knew about it. So who is it that a person is trying to
deceive what Anila I love who you are, and that indeed Allah is Knower of the unseen.
		
00:20:41 --> 00:21:24
			Allah knows about every unseen. You see, if you make a promise with a person, I promise I will do
this for you. Or I promise I will start doing this. And later on, they see that you're not
fulfilling your promise what happens? They come and ask you, Hey, where's my money? Hey, where's
this? You said, You're gonna do it? Where's it? They come after you? Right? So what happens is that
the fear of people, it makes us fulfill our promise. She's gonna ask me What if she tells my mom,
what if she tells my dad, what if you know something terrible happens, no matter how difficult it
is, I better do it. I better fulfill my promise because otherwise I'm going to be in trouble. But
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:37
			what happens is we make promises with Allah. When I'm 16, I'm going to start wearing hijab. When I'm
20, I'm going to start wearing hijab. And what happens? We turned 16, we turned 20. And then like,
yeah,
		
00:21:38 --> 00:22:15
			it's still not ready for it. I'm not going to do it right now. And then in their heart in the
arteries is guilt. I was supposed to start wearing hijab when I was 20. I was supposed to start
wearing hijab when I graduated from high school, because it's something that I had promised to do,
and I'm not doing it still. guilt, guilt, guilt, and then what happens a person is guilty. They
don't feel like making dua. They don't feel like they're fasting means that much they don't feel
like their other good deeds mean that much. And so what happens there is a distance that comes
between the servant and Allah subhanaw taala. Right. And then you are guilty, even lifting up your
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:31
			hands. You're guilty doing anything, you lose that motivation takes you farther and farther. So
remember that if you made the intention in your heart, okay, I'm gonna do this when I get married.
I'm gonna do this when I hit 20 Then you better do it.
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:47
			Because Allah knows what you said in your heart. Allah knows the promise you made with yourself and
with him. He knows your mom might not know your dad might not know but Allah knows what an Allaha I
learn well, who up is the Knower of the unseen so YouTube?
		
00:22:49 --> 00:23:08
			Allah says Allah Dena, there are those who yell mizuna, they criticize meaning. The hypocrites do
nothing themselves when it comes to spending in the way of Allah they say, if Allah gives we will
give to they blame Allah. They do nothing themselves. And those who are actually doing something,
they criticize them.
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:16
			It's like you ask someone come everybody clean up. And they're like, yes, if Allah wants
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:24
			and they just sit on the couch, and they just stare at everybody. And the people who are dusting Oh,
you left that part out.
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:28
			Vacuuming Oh, you missed that corner.
		
00:23:29 --> 00:24:17
			You know what? Get up and do it yourself. Stop criticizing others get up and do it yourself. So this
is something that the Mona Lisa can do well, so they do nothing themselves and instead they just
comment on others. They criticize others Alladhina yell mizuna, they criticize Elmo where ina moto
we're in as a plural of Moto where from their letters for well I am Thor and Thor is obedience that
when a person willingly obeys, happily obeys, and moto were is basically used for someone who
performs voluntary good deeds. He's not obligated to but he voluntarily does it happen he does it.
Like for example the cat is mandatory but giving sadaqa what is that the word? It is voluntary. All
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:57
			right, likewise, praying the folks Allah that is something that you don't have an option with. But
when it comes to voluntary prayer, what is that Salah total word, voluntary prayer. So the third
word is a term that is used for voluntary good deeds. So motto were in refers to those who spend in
the way of Allah voluntarily happily. But then when African what do they do they criticize them and
who are these motto wearing minimal movement ina from among the believers, so they criticize them
concerning what first saw the court concerning the charities. At the expedition to the book, you
know, Abu Bakar Lulu one who brought everything he had or Moldovan who brought half of his entire
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			possessions or as mind will do the one who also spent
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:05
			generously Abdul Rahman bin have also spent generously we learned that he gave about 4000 Did hum
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:58
			if you hear somebody spending $4,000 Even that's a big deal. He gave 4000 At home. Awesome. Ben Ali,
he gave 100 was sack of debts. One what's up? Okay? Is a whole lot of it's about more than two and a
half kilograms don't write this down. I'm just trying to, it's an estimate that I'm giving you it's
a certain number of SAR and each SAR is two and a half kilograms. Okay. So it adds up to about 6000
sar, which equals 6000 times two and a half kilograms. So imagine two and a half kilograms
multiplied by 6000. How much would that be? Over? 12,000 kilograms? Can you imagine 12,000 kilograms
of Dead Sea gave because it was 30,000 people man
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:26
			he gave all of that in the way of Allah. Now when that whenever Kane who weren't spending anything
themselves when this almost some spending so generously, they said, show off. Look at him. How much
he's coming up with what is he trying to show? He's very rich. What is he trying to show he's very
generous. So yell mizuna, they were criticizing those who are spending in the way of Allah
voluntarily accusing them of RIA.
		
00:26:27 --> 00:27:12
			One Lavina and on the other hand, those people who lay edge do not they do not find it Allah except
the home their effort. Remember the word explained to you earlier efforts driving? Because they
don't have much financial means. So what do they have to offer services? So for example, one
companion, he worked all night long, and he earned only a handful or two of dates. So what did he
have to offer? That only it was a striving his effort that he had to offer? So he offered that? So
what happened then when everything when they saw first cut on him and hope they started mocking at
the really, this is what you're going to spend in order to go for is the Romans. Yes, Haruna Minho,
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:22
			that with a handful of dates, they're going to go fight the Romans and be victorious. Look at them.
These people are not living in reality.
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:51
			Some people they do the job with whatever capacity they can, if they can spend money to spend that
if they can offer their work, they do that. And others, they just sit and comment and comment. Like
politicians such as dock height, they don't do it. They don't actually do anything. This is a sign
of the file. And there's something that we need to worry about. Because unfortunately, we like to
talk a lot. If there is a fundraiser.
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:53
			And we happen to be there we say
		
00:27:54 --> 00:28:00
			I don't know how people can just raise your hand and say they're willing to contribute $10,000 I
mean, it's not showing off.
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:07
			And then they say look at these people. They're spending only pennies. They're giving only a few
cents.
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:13
			They think they're going to build a masjid with these few cents. What did you give?
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:22
			What did you give nothing? Or you know what? It's between me and Allah. It's between Mila I will
give secretly when when Never.
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:40
			Never. This is the attitude of people who talk a lot. They don't do anything. They just like to
comment on others. So Alladhina yell mizuna, and mocha were in a minute Momina facade Akkad? Well,
Nadine, Elia gtuner Illa. The home first home in how they market them. They make one of them.
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:43
			Now, what do we learn over here?
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:55
			See what has mentioned Alladhina Elia DeLuna Illa. Joe the home? There are some people if they don't
have the money, they still don't stop. They say okay, I cannot give $100 Maybe I can give 100
minutes.
		
00:28:57 --> 00:29:08
			Because the one who truly wants to go in the way of Allah then like we discussed earlier is nothing
that will stop them nothing at all. If they don't have the money, they will spend their time.
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:10
			Right.
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:47
			Recently, I learned about this one girl who made it to the news of selling cookie boxes. Cookies,
right? How many did she sell? Does anyone remember? Okay, but a lot, okay. A lot in a very short
amount of time. And what was it that she did? Basically, she asked everybody, she raised so much
money, which he didn't have in her pocket. If she asked her parents, could you give me this much
money to give to this? Cause would they give it perhaps not. But what did she do a lot of work out
and about asking every random person would you like a box of cookies?
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:53
			And then what happened with that effort with that striving? How much money did she raise? A lot?
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:59
			A lot. We just think oh, Claire in sha Allah Allah, you know, oh,
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:12
			Allah knows my knee. I don't have the money, Allah's gender centerboard. But the work needs to be
done. If you don't have the money, come and offer your services, why should you stay back?
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:44
			I just want you to say that many people come here on the weekends. And after that is a lot of
vessels very difficult to claim on that this really one person came to secretly and clean all the
washrooms. And then if you're going, they will all speak and span clean eating. And she contributed
and we don't know who was that. This is 10 persons. Now. One is that we say, you know, if I had the
money if my husband gave me more money, I could probably put some money in the donation box.
		
00:30:46 --> 00:31:30
			But my husband, he's too like this. And he's too like that. We make excuses, right? But don't we
know how to clean? Don't we clean our own washrooms, the only vacuum our own houses we do, right. So
one way of serving the religion is putting the money in the box. And the other way of serving the
religion is what? exerting your effort yourself well, Levine, Allah de Luna, Illa, Jota, home,
whatever that you can do. Whatever strength that Allah subhanaw taala has given you. You bake really
well, sometimes once in a while, if you're baking your banana bread or whatever, make double and
bring one, give it at the cafeteria. You can't give money. But at least you can share half of your
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:38
			banana bread. Or maybe one you're making a whole lot of cookies, How many will you eat with this
guilt, I'm getting fat, I'm getting fat.
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:42
			You baked one dozen, bring half a dozen.
		
00:31:43 --> 00:32:25
			You know the first time that we started raising money for this building, how it started all these
lovely Auntie's every day, they would bring nice food, samosas and pakoras. And you know, all these
nice things that you get to eat once in a while when you go to somebody's house for a party. Right?
So all this food they would bring, and there was I remember, there was a huge glass jar, okay. And
what they will do is nobody would bring lunch from home, they would just buy every day, you know,
$1.50 $2. And with that, at 100, they collected so much money every day, just bake sales, just bake
sales, basically. So sometimes you have the money to give, and sometimes you don't have that. But
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:28
			why should you stay behind? What about your budget?
		
00:32:29 --> 00:33:04
			What are you going to have on the Day of Judgment, the Sahaba, they were so conscious of this. They
went to the prophets of Allah Islam and said, those who have a lot of money, they have gone ahead of
us, what are we going to do? For the prophets of Allah Islam taught them certain at God that you say
that and inshallah you will also earn a lot of good deeds they didn't want to stay behind. But then
the wealthy companions, they learned those of God also. So then they're like, What do we do with the
prophets, Allah loves and said, That's the funnel of Allah, that Allah gives to whomsoever he
pleases. But the fact is that if you really want to do something, Allah who definitely definitely
		
00:33:04 --> 00:33:15
			give you the opportunity, you just have to do it yourself. And you know, whom Allah gives
opportunity to the one who shows that he wants to do it, the one who shows that he wants to do it.
		
00:33:17 --> 00:33:55
			So I've noticed that most of these Islamic institutions usually strive on volunteers. And most of
them are students who maybe don't have enough means, but they have the time and the energy. And
you'll see time and time again, when you go to different institutions, you'll find the same people
who volunteer over and over and over again, they've been doing it for 1015 years just tell they're
in different, not just in one cause, but in so many different causes. Right? Because they have that
spirit. Somebody was telling me they were reading a book on volunteerism, it was basically something
of that nature. But anyway, they were saying that they had mentioned in the book, that when people
		
00:33:55 --> 00:34:40
			are working as a volunteer, without any material incentive, then what happens is that they're very
passionate about their work. They're very passionate. But as soon as they're offered even a little
bit of material compensation, then what happens is that they become lazy in their work. This is
something that's scientifically proven based on a lot of research. So when you're doing something
for the sake of Allah, without expecting any material gain in return, then you have that passion.
But as soon as you start thinking, what about me and what about this and what about that, even a
little bit, then your work? It declines, it declines. So what is necessary that you bring about that
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:59
			passion? You have that burning desire to serve a love serve as religion and Allah will provide you
the opportunity and those are just stay back and talk and mark it others vice Corona minimum, Allah
says SUCK IT Allah who have been home, Allah mocks at them. Those who mark at the believers, Allah
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:18
			La will mark at that meeting Allah will create a situation in which these people will be laughed at.
Today they laugh at the believers tomorrow, they will be laughed at side Allah Who Minho what to
whom I love when Aleem and for them is a painful punishment.
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:40
			Ma mocking it others making fun of others is not a small crime. It's something quite serious. It's
something that Allah will punish how there's something in the Quran that we learn about that the
recompense for an evil is an evil like it which is that oh say yeah to say here Mithila
		
00:35:41 --> 00:36:28
			the recompense for an evil as an evil exactly like it. So if a person makes fun of another, then
what will happen he will be made fun off. He will be made fun off. This is why we see that the
seller they were even conscious about laughing at animals that today if I laugh at a dog because of
what he's doing or how he's walking or a laugh at a donkey, I'm afraid that tomorrow I will be
laughed at those who mock others they are marked at so yes Haroon, Amin whom Allah says Sahid Allah
Who mean whom Allah is going to market them what to whom Allah when Allah human for them as a
painful punishment. And an example of this mockery is that on the Day of Judgment, we learn that
		
00:36:28 --> 00:37:04
			when people will be crossing the bridge, there will be complete darkness, complete darkness and how
is it that people will cross with their light, so that when Africa they will say to the believers,
wait for us, we were with you share with us some of your light, share with us, and they will be
almost catching up with the believers in order to be with them in order to share their light with
them. But what will happen, a wall will be placed between them. A wall will be placed between people
who are arrogant today they laugh at others, on the Day of Judgment, they will be resurrected, like
ants,
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:11
			like and small and being trampled, looked down on by everybody.
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:55
			So remember what we do to others. That is how we will be dealt with the way we deal with others.
That is how Allah subhanaw taala is going to deal with us. This is why in the Quran, What is Allah
say? Allah to him guna Allahu Allah who do not wish that Allah should forgive you. So if you want
Allah to forgive you, what should you do with others, you forgive them. So if you laugh at others,
Allah will have you laughed at and if you forgive others, you will be forgiven. If you appreciate
others, Allahu will appreciate you. If you thank others, Allah subhanaw taala will reward you. If
you look down on others, you will be contemptible. If you humble yourself, Allah subhanaw taala will
		
00:37:55 --> 00:38:41
			raise you up Allah will elevate you, right. So remember the way we deal with others, that is how
Allah subhanaw taala is going to deal with us. So be very careful when laughing at others. laughing
with others is different, but laughing at others not acceptable. And today, unfortunately, in the
name of entertainment in the name of comedy, this is something that is permissible. Pick anybody and
mark them, the way they talk, the way they dress up the way they speak the way they move. And how is
that a talent being able to imitate others? How is it a talent but people think oh, wow, look at
that they can do it so well. And they laugh and laugh. They will pay in order to see somebody making
		
00:38:41 --> 00:38:53
			fun of others and imitating others. They didn't do anything themselves. They're just copying others.
So, this is something that must be avoided recitation of these iron Well, I mean
