00:00:00 --> 00:00:17
			Lesson number 130 sort of Ibrahim I 18 to 34 methanol ladina kuffaar Obiora be him be example of
those people who have disbelieved in their Lord, our man or woman their deeds. So those who reject
Allah subhanaw taala don't believe in Him
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:26
			as their Holic their Malik their muda bit, their deeds, whatever deeds they do, whether they are
good,
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:39
			you know, any kind of good deeds. So for example, a lot of charity helping other people serving
other people. And sometimes those deeds may even be better than the deeds of those who do believe in
Allah.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:45
			Allah says their deeds are cut all mad in our like ashes,
		
00:00:46 --> 00:01:01
			the deeds of the disbelievers no matter how good they are, no matter how many they are, no matter
how beautiful no matter how excellent they are, at the end, the result will be what call Matt and
they will be like Ahmed, Ahmed ashes.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			What kind of ashes
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:59
			you know what ashes Alright, when paper or wood or anything that's burnt than what remains ashes? Do
they have any weight? Hardly. Hardly. If you pick up, you know, a piece of wood. It's heavy. It's
got some weight to it. But once it is burned, it's turned into ashes. You pick it up and you don't
even know if you have it on your hand. It's that light, it's weightless. And it's so light that you
could blow it away. So Cara Maddon their deeds will be LIKE ASHES ish that that it became severe be
with it a re who the wind, the wind became very severe. With those ashes, meaning it became very
violent and intense, it became so fierce with the ashes, that it just picked up those ashes and blew
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:52
			them away. And once those ashes were picked up at that violent wind, than what remained of those
ashes, nothing. Fee yeomen are all safe on a day that was honestly for all Sif, stormy Aasif is
basically used for stormy, fierce wind. So imagine a day on which fierce violent wind blows and it
forcefully picks up the ashes of something that has been burned, and it blows them away, disperses
all the ashes far and wide. What will remain nothing. Can you ever recollect those particles? No,
because if a violent wind has blown them away, it's impossible for you to go and pick up one
particle from here another particle from there, you can't even find them. They're completely lost,
		
00:02:52 --> 00:03:04
			there is no trace of those ashes remaining. You can never retract them. You can never retrieve them,
you can never get them back. They are lost, completely lost.
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:13
			And if you do get them back, if, hypothetically, then what weight do they have? What value do ashes
have?
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:20
			They have no value, they have to be discarded. They are of no use whatsoever.
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:23
			For example, if a house
		
00:03:25 --> 00:04:03
			ever catches fire, if it's on fire for a long time, then what's going to happen? Everything is going
to turn into ashes. Literally, What good will that sofa be? What good will that carpet be? What good
will that house be? It has no value. You have to go throw those things away. I remember once a
friend of mine and her house, there was fire. And they were basically not allowed to go in that
house for a very long time. Just because they had to do all the investigations and everything. And
even then when the investigations were done, everything was clear. They couldn't use anything.
Because either it was burnt, or it was completely blackened.
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:09
			It smelled horrible. All those fumes. I mean, they were not safe anymore.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:39
			So gone last. Ly yuck. You Luna. They do not have power. They do not have any ability over what
mimica Cebu over that which they have earned or that che in anything at all. They have no power over
anything that they have earned, meaning their efforts will result into nothing. They die, their
works, their efforts, their deeds die in this world.
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:42
			They don't make it to the zero.
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:59
			Just as ashes cannot be taken back. They cannot be collected and if they are collected, they cannot
be turned back to Word just like that their deeds are gone. Then eagle who Allah Allah will bury
that is extreme error. What is it?
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:36
			Stream err good deeds being wasted this is extreme loss. In this ayah the consequence of the
disbelievers deeds is described. Those who reject Allah subhanaw taala. What is their fate? What
will their deeds bring them, no matter what they have done, no matter what they have accomplished,
their deeds will bring them nothing in the author, when the winds of the Day of Judgment will blow,
severely, when the day of judgment is established, their deeds will be picked up, like ashes are
picked up and destroyed completely. Why? Why? Why is it that their deeds will carry no wait,
		
00:05:38 --> 00:06:00
			because they don't fulfill the conditions of acceptance, they never performed them for Allah
subhanaw taala they perform them for this dunya so what happened when this dunya came to when other
deeds also came to an end? They perform those deeds for themselves to make themselves happy, to get
self satisfaction, and when they died, their deeds also died with them.
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:11
			They performed those deeds for certain people for certain worldly causes. And as those causes came
to an end those people died, their deeds also finished.
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:17
			What is it that will make it to the after that which was done for the
		
00:06:19 --> 00:07:07
			what is it that will last forever? That which was done for Allah? Allah the lay of that which is
done for Allah subhanaw taala who does not die while back yet have solid heart? What will remain our
good deeds? And what are good deeds, good deeds? Are those deeds that fulfill certain conditions?
And what are those conditions? That Firstly, they are done with sincerity for Allah? Not for people,
not for worldly cause not for self satisfaction, no, for an only Allah subhanaw taala and secondly,
they're done in the right way also in the way that Allah likes, in the way that they will actually
make it to the Quran what is that way the way that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam taught?
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:28
			So two things. What we see over here is that two things, they basically destroy deeds, first of all
Gopher, which is evident from this idea, and secondly, react showing off also when something is done
not for Allah, but for some other reason. To get the praise of people
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31
			to become big in the eyes of people.
		
00:07:32 --> 00:08:14
			This is something that destroys good deeds. In total CalFire 105 We learn about the people who are
the worst losers, worst losers will equal Latina kuffaar will be at your begin. While he called for
her build, what are MaryLu home, their deeds are wasted. Fela nupi moolah homeo Malkia Mati wasn't
so we shall not assign to them on the Day of Judgment, any importance, any weight, they will carry
no weight on the Day of Judgment, nothing at all. You see, what is it that can last? What is it that
remains something that has a firm solid foundation,
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:59
			right. And if something does not have a solid foundation, if it does not have a solid base, then
what will happen? It'll fizzle away, it will die very quickly, very easily. You know, when somebody
has a herb garden, and they bring those little tiny plants and they try to grow them, if they
haven't planted them properly, what will happen after a few days, you will see the whole thing
turned yellow, and I it has to be planted correctly. Properly. Grass, if you're putting new turf,
you have to make sure that you water it for so many, many hours. Why because the more water the soil
will soften and the more it will attach to the ground beneath. And if you don't water it and it
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:02
			doesn't get attached, then what will happen, it'll die.
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:16
			The foundation has to be there. What is the foundation of good deeds of any deed that will cause it
to live on that will cause it to continue sincerity when a person is sincere.
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:53
			And the methodology is correct because of the methodology is wrong even then you can carry on for a
very long time. You know many people they're doing something for the sake of Allah but they're not
doing it right. They can't have the right kind of balance, you know, family work life balance, they
can't maintain that as a result, their work also collapses. Both things are necessary sincerity and
the right kind of methodology. When a person has this then he will have stability in this life is
the karma. He will be able to continue his work, continue the good deeds that he's doing. No matter
what happens in life when he will have is to karma in this life, then the deeds can continue to the
		
00:09:53 --> 00:10:00
			hereafter. Think about it if we don't have stability here. If we cannot do something good for
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			More than two days, how is it that that good deed will make it to the Akela?
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:09
			If it cannot survive now, how can it make it to the Akira?
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:32
			How can it so it is very important that we check ourselves that whatever we are doing, who are we
doing it for? Why are we doing it? Is it for the sake of getting some praise, acknowledgement from
people rise above the praise of people and rise above the criticism of people, because if you depend
on the praise of people and the criticism, then you cannot survive.
		
00:10:33 --> 00:11:15
			If we depend on acknowledgement from people, then we cannot carry on for a long time. Do what you do
for Allah because he is everlasting. Remember at the death of the prophets of Allah who really was,
what did Abu Bakr say? He said, Whoever used to worship Muhammad Sallallahu or USANA, for him know
who called Matt then in fact, he has died. But whoever used to worship Allah than Allah is the
living the eternal, the one who does not die. So his Islam will continue. In other words, it will
not cease just because the Prophet sallallahu Sallam passed away. And this is what happened. There
were those people who are remained firm on Islam, even though the Prophet salallahu Salam had died.
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:23
			And there were those people who refuse to pay zakat. Why? Because the prophets of Allah Islam was no
longer there.
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:31
			So, what is it that will continue in this world that which is for Allah, and such deeds will make it
to the
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:43
			and what contradicts that, which is disbelief or react, then that will not survive in this world,
nor will it make it to the agora.
		
00:11:44 --> 00:12:38
			And this is extreme loss valleca Who Olala lol buried that is extreme loss. And I'm Tara, do you not
see an Allah Holika somewhat evil, that it is Allah who has created the heavens and the earth? You
know that? You know that for a fact that Allah has created the heavens and the earth will help in
truth, being as it should have been for a just reasonable purpose? He is the one who has created all
of this. So why not do good? to please Him? To make him happy when he made you? Why not serve him?
Why do you serve others? Why do you please others? Why do you want the praise of others? Why do you
expect and hope from others? When he made you when he created the heavens and the earth will help
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:59
			Iesha if He wills you would have come he can take you away? Meaning he can finish you he can destroy
you? Where do we hope in God and he can bring a new creation? We can produce a new creation? Think
about it before Adam or Asana? Did human beings exist? No.
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:22
			No, they didn't. Allah subhanaw taala created other murderers, sinner and after him all the rest of
the children of other races. And if Allah wants he can finish humankind, the human race completely
eliminate them and bring about a completely new creation, completely new creation. Can he do that?
Of course he can.
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:27
			Of course he can. So does he need us?
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:29
			He doesn't need us.
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:43
			If we want to survive, we need him if we depend on Him completely for our survival for our
existence. So if we turn away from Him
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:54
			and do what we do for the sake of people, for the sake of self satisfaction for the sake of getting
the praise of people getting a big name becoming popular and famous.
		
00:13:55 --> 00:14:10
			He doesn't need us. We're only wasting ourselves. We're only destroying ourselves. In your shirt you
the Hebrew comb, where DB hulking God. So if a person makes himself sincere for the sake of Allah,
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:13
			then it is for his own good.
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:23
			If he worships Allah than it is for his own survival iya Shep youth Hibou come where DB Hello Can
jellied
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:49
			if you think about it, on this planet, we see many things that come and go, come and go. As we did
this earth, we find things that existed once upon a time and now they're nowhere to be seen. They're
not there in the surface of the earth. They're lost somewhere in the earth. We know this about so
many species that are endangered, right? Why? Because they can go extinct.
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:57
			Human beings can also go extinct. You and I one day will no longer be here on this world.
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:00
			We are dead
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:28
			Definitely definitely going to die. We're not here forever. So this little time that we have, why
not use it to please Allah so that we can have an eternity of happiness? We can live happily ever
after. In the Quran Allah says sudo Muhammad i a 30 and we're into well lo yesterday little Coleman,
Leila calm. So Malaya kono emsella, calm, if you turn away all believers, then Allah will replace
you with another people. And then they will not be like you.
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:30
			They will not be like you.
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:46
			So we can be replaced. If you think about it, in your family, or at your workplace, if you ever get
that feeling that there is another person who could potentially take my position. How do we feel?
		
00:15:48 --> 00:16:02
			How do we feel? It's a big threat. So this kind of pushes us to perform, you know, at the best level
that we can, why is it that we remain and no one is capable of taking our position.
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:50
			But this ayah tells us that we can be replaced. And we see that in this earth, Allah Subhana Allah
mixes look at the skies and the earth, right? Don't you see in the sky, the clouds, they come and
they go on this earth don't we see trees that grow and then they die, they fall. They don't remain
forever. Likewise, we're not here forever. And if we turn away from Allah, he can easily replace us
woman that only God Allah, Allah Hibiya Aziz and that is not at all difficult for Allah. It is not
difficult for Allah at all, there is nothing preventing him. He is above any weakness, he is fully
capable of removing us. He is fully capable of getting rid of us. So we are kind of being reminded
		
00:16:50 --> 00:17:43
			that there is a purpose of our existence. And we better fulfill that purpose. Because if we're not
fulfilling that purpose, then there is no need for us on this earth. And when we know this, that on
this planet, who is it that survives? Who is it that survives the fittest, right? Who is the fittest
the one who's capable of doing something? Right? Protecting its young ones protecting its family?
You see this in plants? You see this in animals? You see this in the creation of Allah, instead of
the rug also, we learned? What is it that remains? Well, Amanda Young Pharaoh NAS Fang Guto fill up,
that which benefits people is what remains and whatever is extra. It's useless, it is discarded. It
		
00:17:43 --> 00:18:13
			is discarded. It finishes it dies out completely. So in this as a big reminder for us, as a human
being and as people of the Muslim ummah, that we fulfill the purpose of our existence, we fulfill
the purpose of our existence, which is the worship of Allah subhanaw taala and as Muslim Ummah, what
is our purpose of existence? What does Allah subhanaw taala tell us in the Quran, contemplate
Ramadan? To enjoy this dunya
		
00:18:14 --> 00:19:01
			to make your house and decorated and redecorated and redecorated. Yeah. Is this the purpose of our
existence as Muslim? Will this be proud of our Islam and look down on others and just live in our
sheltered closed lives? No. rejet leanness, you have been produced for the benefit of people that
will want to build maruf with an Honan in Mongkok, you command that which is right and forbid that
which is wrong. So if we have the blessing of this Dean from the womb of our mothers, we were born
with this gift majority of us, then it is our responsibility that we fulfill our purpose, follow
this religion. Take care of it. For Trey a good image of it, take it to others. Take it to others
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:47
			because if we don't do that, Allah will most definitely replace us. He will most definitely replace
us because he doesn't need us. You know, Imam Bukhari Imam Bukhari was not an Arab. He was a
Persian. Arabic was not his native language. He was born in Bihar, which is in modern date was Becca
Stan, you're talking about a place that is quite far from Arabia. But this man the way he served
Hadith, the way he preserved Hadith, I mean, when you think about Hadees, what name comes to your
mind, body? When you think about any book of Hadith, which book comes to your mind, body? And after
body, you think about Muslim? You think about a necessity. Right? And Muslim and necessity both of
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:50
			them were students of a mumble hottie both of them
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:57
			this legend, this giant, you know this person who was not an Arab, he was a Persian.
		
00:19:58 --> 00:20:00
			So just because we
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:06
			We have a certain kind of blessing skill. Don't think that the religion depends on you
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:46
			know, it doesn't depend on us, Allah subhanaw taala can take the work of his religion from other
people also. If we don't convey it, Allah will use other means to convey it. If we conveyed it's our
own good, we will survive. And if we turn away from this religion, then we are really nothing
without it. We are nothing without we have no value. We are like garbage. And unfortunately, this is
our present state and we are literally treated like garbage today, not by human beings, literally
treated like garbage. When our brothers and sisters are killed, it's not like human beings are
killed.
		
00:20:47 --> 00:21:35
			It's just like, yeah, those people 1000s 1000s Are massacred. And nobody cares. It so people don't
see why because we as Muslims, we haven't, you know, shown we haven't contributed enough that we
would have a say that we would have a say there's a lecture by Chef Yasir qadhi on, I don't remember
the exact title. But in that he mentioned about how the State of Israel was formed. And it's very
interesting that how they were the people who had money, they had the people who had, you know, some
kind of effect on the top officials. And because of this, whatever they said, it happened. Why is it
that we fuss and we complain, and we go out to the streets, but nobody even acknowledges that nobody
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:43
			even acknowledges that 10s and 1000s of Muslims have collected somewhere. It's like we're nobody
were nobody.
		
00:21:45 --> 00:22:27
			And in order to become a somebody, we have to become a somebody before in the eyes of Allah subhanaw
taala. First, we better fix our connection with Allah first obey Him first, become his true and
sincere servants First, be true to this religion first. And part of that is to benefit humanity
also. Because when we will benefit humanity, when we will serve humanity, then it's no way that
people will ignore us, when we become the contributors, and not just people who are lying and taking
deceiving and taking, then people will have some trust in us, they will have some form of respect
for us. Because the upper hand is better than the lower hand, right? But what has our state become
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:46
			Muslims in general? Lower hand, we always want to be at the receiving end. If you go to a hospital,
and you see the names of the contributors who are that you find Muslim names in general? No. If we
do make money, what do we want with that money, a house, a car and makeup jewelry.
		
00:22:48 --> 00:23:30
			Sounds like a lot of I'm seeing positive comments, in some places where all of the things that are
happening, we should take down the flags of our countries, the nationalism and raise up the flag of
one dean because we are one people. And also with what the issue that's happening in Ferguson in the
United States right now, where the young black boy was killed by police. From Sierra, I remember the
lesson that the sister she shared with us that Rasulullah was also involved in his local community.
It wasn't he didn't stay separate from it, even if, as long as it wasn't, you know, involved in
golfer idolatry. So we should also be we live here, this is an issue that affects us here in Canada
		
00:23:30 --> 00:24:04
			as well. So it's not just being worried about what's happening over there, we should be involved and
speak up about the injustices that are happening here as well. Because it's hard on us to be, you
know, a part of this community, we are a part of this community and it affects all of us. And the
first thing that you do is that you contribute, when you contribute, then people notice you then
they value you then they appreciate you. But when we don't contribute beyond our massages and beyond
our Muslim food banks only then people don't know us.
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:46
			Many times what people do is like when they get involved in the deen they just like they they start
learning about Dean and like the only learn about the dean. And although that's good and stuff, and
they'll help them a lot in this world and in the year after. They should also like try to work for
like to get a career and like actually benefit the world as well. And not like stay, whatever grade
12 Pass or whatever, you know, after they're done. Yes. If you think about it, the prophets of
Allah. Like for example, though they're in a salon, he would eat from his own earnings. And if he
was earning money that meant that he was dealing with people.
		
00:24:48 --> 00:25:00
			As a prophet, he was dealing with people making money, buying, selling or whatever. In the Quran. We
also learn about how he used to make different things with iron. A low Artem what exactly
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:13
			is how he made money but with the work of his hands, and that means directly dealing with people
being within the society, not cut off from the society.
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:57
			When it comes to Muslims that do contribute to the community and stuff sometimes, or ones that are
that are wealthy, and they are trying to give back, I remember once in our neighborhood, there was a
brother, he's a lawyer, and he works at a big firm downtown, and he started some connection with the
food bank. And some people didn't want to support him, because he's not that religious, or whatever.
And I was thinking to myself, he's a Muslim Brother, if we support him and be an influence to him,
and he grows in his Amen, then whatever, like good that he's doing would would help but then people
don't support other Muslims, because they don't agree with their lifestyle or what is their method
		
00:25:57 --> 00:26:03
			of prayer is different. And because of that, we will not support them. So what is it that we can do?
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:09
			What is it that we can do big talk, but what action can we do?
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:29
			What action can we do to make sure that we are living meaningful, purposeful, beneficial lives in
which we are not just concerned about our own body and makeup and jewelry and clothes, rather, we
are also concerned about what we are giving back to the people who are around us.
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:38
			Okay, good. Even before volunteering,
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:42
			whatever you do, do it with excellence.
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:46
			If you're a student, be a good student.
		
00:26:48 --> 00:27:11
			If you are working somewhere being honest, good, the light worker, hard working individual, because
this is the best form of Dawa, that you do the best form of thorough when you work properly. Because
then people value you, when you are a good student, then your teachers will appreciate you, then
they will encourage you
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:14
			then they will
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:19
			acknowledge that yes, your religion, maybe it has something to do with your success.
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:27
			So whatever you do, do it with excellence. Secondly, suggestion was volunteering.
		
00:27:28 --> 00:28:08
			Okay, what kind of volunteer work? Can we do? Yes. As long ago, when I landed over here in Canada, I
was always been a working machine back in Pakistan, right. So I went to the school where my kids was
trading. I talked to the principal that I want to volunteer for mathematics and science. She saw me
in a bind scarf. She refused me. Seriously, she refused me. Then after that, I asked her again, I
want to volunteer for mathematics and science. She again refused me. Third time when I went away,
okay, she gave me some food. And it allowed me to sit in the library. And I knew that Mr. Robertson
is keeping an eye on me. And they gave me only one student. And after that, he started giving me two
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:47
			and three and four more students. And I'm telling you, and one day he asked me, What is your
qualification? And when you came, I said, I came like two months before when Pakistan? And he said,
Why don't you go for like teaching high schools? I said, No, I'm not interested because I want to
give time to my kids. Because back in Pakistan, my mother was taking care of my kids when I was
doing my job. But my first reference is my kids. So alhamdulillah, then that was the point, this
principle started giving me the students because parents were asking who is the Mrs. Han, who is
teaching the kids Alhamdulillah see excellence. When you do what you do in the best way possible.
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:54
			And people feel that they need you, you have something of benefit to give them, then they will want
you
		
00:28:56 --> 00:29:02
			they will come to you. And the first thing they see in you is your hijab, your Islam.
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:45
			So I'm actually I did a Habitat for Humanity, I volunteer for them. And it was really sad to see
sometimes the church will organize something and they will come together and volunteer together. And
it would be nice to see something like that Muslim community will do it. Because a lot of people who
receive these houses are actually Muslim families. So it's definitely a good idea to do that. The
other thing also is, I was listening to a lecture and you know, we're so proud to be a Muslim. We
never really like love Allah enough to say, I'm gonna study this religion, I'm gonna learn Arabic,
I'm gonna, you know, do all the things that we need to be close to Allah. But we're so proud of walk
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:50
			around and say, we're Muslims. And I think that's one thing we can change as well. Yes.
		
00:29:52 --> 00:30:00
			So Volunteering is a very, very good way. And if we just focus on these two things, find out about
where you can volunteer. What
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:24
			You can do, okay. And of course, you have to remember that your religion, the boundaries that have
been set by our deen, we have to observe them, we cannot compromise on them. And whatever else we
are doing in our lives, your motivation should be not to get good marks, good results get a better
pay, but that you are portraying your religion.
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:55
			You're portraying your religion. I remember when I completed my old Of course, and my mom told me
you cannot do the advanced course you have to go back to school. And that was one answer that I did
not want to hear. But I had to go back to school, I had to complete my high school, I had only done
grade 10 or something and part of Greta and I had to go back I had no choice she made me. And when I
went back, I didn't go with just a small hijab, I went with an Obeah and a hijab and also a niqab.
And when I went there, I knew that people can't see my face.
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:59
			And they can't judge me by my looks.
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:19
			There is no way that I can deal with people except that my religion will always be a part of that
interaction, always. Because my religion defines me more than I wanted to. Right. It's that's just
the reality. And I remember what made me study hard was not my results.
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:30
			Not that I wanted to be an A student, I wanted to get the best results. No, it was because if I
don't do well, people are gonna say, Oh, this is how religious girls are.
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:38
			I wanted to do well, because I knew that before Tamia, I was that girl with her job. I was that girl
with niqab.
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:51
			People are not going to see him as an ordinary person, they're going to see me as that Nickleby. So
I better do my best. Because I am representing not myself, but I'm representing a Muslim.
		
00:31:52 --> 00:32:04
			So really, when we put on this hijab, when we are Muslim, then we are carrying this responsibility
of portraying a good image of Islam,
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:06
			a good image of Islam.
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:31
			And Alhamdulillah, my my teachers, they were so happy with me and I'm not boasting over here, but
just something good to share with you that till today, till today, my teachers know me. Even though
that was just high school, one of my teachers has taught me math. And he was after me that I study
more and you know, study more math, and because I was a good student, but I did not like math, but
he wanted me to study because he wanted me to excel.
		
00:32:32 --> 00:32:56
			I'm a nursing student. And recently I got a position in palliative care. And Palliative Care Unit is
where the patient has no P is eventually like, everybody knows is gonna die. So I was assigned to a
patient, I used to just feed the patient, that's it. That was my job that just feeding and go away.
		
00:32:57 --> 00:33:24
			It's more than four to five months. I'm assigned to that patient, and my daughter got sick, and I
didn't go to the unit. And over the nursing station, like when I returned from my task, the nurse
station, she asked me why you didn't came and said My daughter was not well, she said the patient
was crying at the time of failure for the law.
		
00:33:25 --> 00:33:44
			Like, even for I used to feed the patient only for like five to 15 minutes. That's it. But even in
that small time, like a relationship develop. And still I can feel it. That's all like,
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:51
			I can just convey the message that even with small date, you can do a Dawa. Yes.
		
00:33:53 --> 00:34:08
			And you see, there's different ways of doing Dawa. What seems most glamorous, is that you stand at a
stage with a microphone, or that you have 50,000 followers. That's the most attractive, but that's
not the only way.
		
00:34:09 --> 00:34:39
			And I'm sorry, I think that's the easiest way. The real, the real hard task is to deal with people,
live amongst them, and then do that work to them. Because when you're speaking in front of people
who's going to dare to say no to you, who's going to oppose you? Who's going to say something that's
going to offend you? It's the easiest thing to do. You just have to overcome your own fears. That's
it. But when you're dealing with people and then doing Dawa, that is real Dawa.
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:46
			That is real Dawa. The prophets of Allah Salam did not give hotbar every day. He didn't.
		
00:34:47 --> 00:34:59
			He didn't lecture every day. He dealt with people. That is how he conveyed the message to them. And
this is what we need to do. So those of us who are studying in school and university college,
whatever
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:32
			This study hard do your best those of us who are working who work hard do your best, be sincere and
honest. And think outside the box live beyond you know serving yourself only your purpose in life
should not be to live for yourself only volunteer help contribute and when we will benefit others,
we will benefit the religion when we will benefit the religion we will be useful when we will be
useful, then we can remain then our deeds can remain.
