While at the corner and do not be like the one who can naughty like she who meaning do not be can Lottie like the woman who Nicola who untwisted? Because not remember I told you earlier, it's used for breaking of the Earth, but it literally means that we'll have to untie a rope, you know because a rope how is it made? It's twisted fiber. Right? It's twisted. So to unravel it, untie it, you're opening it up. And this is the same as breaking a promise a commitment. Because when you're making a promise all the terms and conditions one after the other you are, you know putting them together. But then when you break the promise, what do you do? Unravel the whole thing? So do not be like the
woman who knuckle the knuckle down over here is being used in its literal sense who untwisted she untwisted? What was left her her spun thread wasn't from the root letters line ze lamb was also is basically
yarn
or thread that has been spun. Do you know how thread is made? Or yarn is made? From what
your clothes are made? From? What thread?
That thread comes from where?
Okay, so for example, wool, or cotton, okay, or silk or whatever it is? So wool, what is it? Like? It's just a bunch of fibers, very, very thin fibers? Correct. Now, how is it that a thread is made from it? Do you know?
Do you remember that movie? That cartoon movie?
Sleeping Beauty, was it? Yes. Sleeping Beauty. So you know what I'm talking about, right? That she had this big spinning wheel and she would be just making the thread all the time from wool. And back in the day, when they had no spinning wheels, people would make thread how by hand. And what would they do, they will take for example, a whole bunch of wool, color it if they wanted to, if they didn't just leave it plain. And then you take a whole lot of you know, wool in your hand and you send it out in your head, okay. And then you twist it, twist it, and then stretch it and pull it. Okay, twist it and stretch it bullet. And as you keep doing that, the thread comes out. Okay, this
is a thread what you're spinning and twisting in your fingers. And as you're pulling it out that's forming into it. Thread. Okay, and then again, they will twist it one more time or two more times to make sure that it's fine. And it's also strong.
Okay, then they made the hand spinning wheel, and then also the big machines. And now of course everything is done in big factories. But still there are people who are obsessed with this craft, and they will still do it.
Now, this is a very difficult process, especially when you're doing it by hand. Just imagine the entire thread, what are you doing? Twisting, twisting, twisting, spinning with your fingers and then pulling and then twisting and then pulling and then twisting and then falling. And then you're redoing the whole thing and the whole thing again and again. And again. It's a lot of hard work, and it involves your fingers. And I was just thinking that just doing housework, you know, makes my hands tired. When did a woman have the energy to make thread so that she would make clothes for her family? It's a lot of hard work is if there was this woman in Makkah, and this woman she would make
thread and what would she do her hustle her thread? She would break it up again. She would break it up again, like you know, literally shredded to bits and then open it up.
Nakada was Lucha mimbar the coup within after meaning after the thread was made strong. How was it made strong? By spinning by twisting it over and over again. So much hard work went into it but then what did she do? She shredded it into an Katha and calf as a plural of next and next is fiber thread that is shredded. You know for example, sometimes your clothes, you see a thread sticking out and you pull it. That's what next.
Okay.
So this woman, this is what she would do. She would shred her thread into bits open up the whole thing.
Tell me something. If she did this all day long. She just making a thread and she's shredding it to bed. What would you say about her? Is she normal? What would you say about her? She must be suffering from some problem. There must be some issue because No normal person would do this. That all day long. They're making their thread and the net
The end they are destroying their hard work.
So likewise, Allah subhanaw taala is telling us, don't be like that woman.
You put in so much hard work into making a commitment. Sometimes legal documents are pages and pages long. There's this thick, like literally an inch thick, so many pages, terms and conditions, terms and conditions. Have you ever read them? You know, when you're told, I agree to these terms and conditions, this friend of mine once you actually read them, because he's like, if I'm agreeing to all these terms and conditions, I better know what they are.
But it's a whole lot of just legal writing. With a half of what you don't even understand the implications of them, you don't even understand. But anyway, making a contract is not something smart. Let me give you the example of a marriage. Marriage is also a contract. Is there any work that goes into it? are just two people come one man from here and a woman from here? And she says, Oh, yeah, let's get married. Okay, let's sign the contract. Does it go like that? No. If you don't know them from before you get a background check. And you ask their family members, and you ask their friends and you ask one family and then another family and a chef. And then you google them
and you see their Facebook and you see their Twitter and you see who their friends are and who they speak to and where they hang out and what their likes are so much work goes into it. And then finally, after multiple meetings when you agree that okay, we can go ahead with this then what happens? How much money you spent
a lot
on the clothes on the home and before the home, the celebration and the gifts and Mahara and so on and so forth. There's so much gone into it. Getting married is not I mean, it's easy, technically, but you know that it's not all that easy. It's quite complicated.
You put in so much hard work into making this contract. Now don't shred it to bits, just because you're upset and you say Talaq, Talaq Talaq.
It's not that simple.
It's not that simple. And unfortunately, some people, they use the word follow up as if they are nothing as if they have no implications.
And it can have serious implications.
They're amazing stories. You wonder, what were they thinking? What the heck happened is because the man said, he got angry with something and he said, By Allah, you are divorced.
If I don't die right now you are divorced. Really?
Seriously.
And what happens one after the other, and then they realize, oh, it's the third divorce finished.
It's finished now. Children, the house. So many things are going to be affected. You put in a lot of hard work in making this family. Don't destroy it just because you're angry and irritated over something. Salam aleikum. I have never come across any divorced woman who's happy.
And you know, a lot of them they did it in haste. I know one person who regrets it and probably will regret it till she lives. You know, there just is so much haste and anger inside of them. There's no sort of forgiveness, there's no patience. And I see that a lot. Nowadays that you know, oh, this is a second marriage. She got divorced the first time. It's so so common. May Allah give patients to our communities.
mean yes, divorce is a way out. Allah subhanaw taala has legislated it he is allowed it and it is to be applied in situations which are I mean, really, it's necessary for the couples to be divorced. It's understandable. But majority of the times it's not reasonable. Why is one person upset over the other because he's got such and such friends and she does this and this.
This is part of life.
So I remember once she was saying, this woman, she's keep bugging her husband, divorce me divorce me and he refused there. She told him. If you don't divorce me, I'm gonna go to the government. I'm going to take your keys, I'm going to destroy your life. I'll do this, I'll do that. And he was holding his hand like this and listening to her he died out of the heart attack.
So any kind of contract any kind of commitment that is made, it requires work?
Allah subhanaw taala says don't destroy it like the woman who? Because she's not normal. This is what she does. She twists her thread. She spins it and then she shreds it to bits. Allah asks us, doctor he the owner, you take a man a comb your oats, the holen as deceit binder come between you
This is a question that is being asked, meaning, why did you make the contract in the first place?
If you are now breaking it, why did you agree to it in the first place? Why did you make it? Think about it, a marriage when it's contracted, if it's with the intention of divorce, his head called marriage.
Think about it. If two people are getting married, that means that they agree that we will do our best to stay with each other for the rest of our lives.
The hull is from the root letters dal ha Lam the hauler is to enter and the hole is used for something that is inserted in the middle of something in order to cause a disruption in order to cause facade to create problems. Okay. And the hull is also used for deceit, cheating.
Why? Because when deceit enters the heart, then what happens? Good, what happens? Corruption. So that Kahuna, amen, come the Holland Boehner calm. You took those odds and made those contracts in deceit?
Was it you just a short, just a pretense that you are showing to the other that you were very committed, but in your heart, you're not actually committed? You had some other motive? You had some other objective behind that contract? And what was that an takuna that it becomes who becomes automaton a group? Here it meaning that OMA becomes our more numerous men own within them? Another group, the word Aruba is from Robbo raw, wa. And Robbo, Reba, from the same root, what does it mean to rise to grow to increase? So the real reason why you made that contract was not because you were, you know, starting a new relationship with somebody and you had a lifelong commitment, and you
really wanted the business to grow. No, no, no, your actual intention was that one group should become more in their number, or their money, their wealth than the other, meaning you just wanted some personal gain out of it. And as soon as you got that personal gain, you just ditched the other and walked away. You just ditch them and you went away.
Now, this happens many times, when two people come together, for example, for the purpose of a business, one person he invests his money, and the other person invests his plan. Okay, now the person who put the plan together, what happens? He somehow excludes the other, who's put in all the money, because now he got the money. Okay, now he will do something, he will go against the terms and conditions. Why just so that he can take all those $50,000 and the initial investor, he doesn't have any shear left, we hear these stories all the time, a contract was made, a business was started, one party cheated the other one group cheated the other and walked away with half a million
dollars with $1 million. And one group had such a big loss in legal battles one after the other. Why? Why is this happening? Why was the initial contract made? Apparently for a good cause. But in the heart was piano. Sometimes it happens even when people are getting married.
The treaty, marriage is done. Not for the purpose of, you know, having a family, but just to get a passport to a different country.
So as soon as they get that paperwork, come abroad, ditch the wife and go off with girlfriends.
Yes, it happened so many times. That marriage contract was made and so much love was expressed and lavish gifts were given. And the heart was given apparently. And what happened as soon as she went to that country or he went to the other country. Hello us. I don't know you and you don't know me.
So what was the real objective?
Some personal gain. And as soon as you got that personal gain, you abandon the other person. Allah says in nama indeed not but yeah, below Kamala hoobie Allah tests you with this. Allah is trying you testing you in these situations, dusting, what your honesty,
your decency, that how honest Are you that just because you got that benefit, you got that gain. Now you walk away and you abandon the other person, you cheated them you use them.
And so many times it happens that innocent people are used for one reason or another. For more money, for more liberty for whatever people are used in them.
I have Luca Mala who Allah tries you and tests you that what do you do in these situations? How do you deal with others? While you begin another comments surely definitely you will make clear to you yo pm on the Day of Judgment Mac quantum feet after the phone that in which we used to differ because differences always arise due business partners husband and wife a contract was made yes differences will arise and a person thinks okay if I am this relationship if I am this contract, what do I have to lose hardly anything so, just finish it, forget it. Yes, the other person is going to lose everything, what do I care about them? In them I have LUCAM Allahu Allah tested you
do you do ARDL do you do SN
or do you do fascia and Wonka and barley? What do you do? He was testing you. So, remember, that any person who makes a contract, any kind of contract he will be tested,
he will definitely be tried.
He will be tried how that situations will come and he will find a way out you know with a whole lot of benefit and the other person will have to take the entire loss, he can run away safe and secure and the other person will have to suffer the entire loss. But this is a test in I have Luca Mala hobby. And whatever a person does, it will be shown on the Day of Judgment, what is it that you did? How was it that you dealt with others? So from this idea, what do we learn that any promise any commitment that is made, it should not be made for the sake of personal gain? Only because if personal gain is the objective, then what happens you don't care about the other person. You don't
care about the growth of you know, for example, the company or the business and you will end up cheating you will end up being deceitful and you will end up hurting others and before you hurt others you will hurt yourself.
Well Oh sha Allah Who And if Allah who wanted Llodra Allah come surely he would have made you omit Anwar he the one OMA, well, I can but Yulin lumen Yasha, were Demacia shirt. He misleads whomsoever He wills, and He guides whomsoever He wills, while alone nama quantum Tom Malone, and you will definitely be questioned about what you used to do. If Allah wanted all the people would have been together on the same page, no differences perfectly in hearts for one another. But that's not the case. When people will come together, they will have differences and through these differences, Allah is testing them.
Before the marriage demand pop, perfect wife, the woman thought perfect husband after the marriage from the second day differences. I don't like this food, but I love this food. I don't like this car, but I love this car. I don't like this area, but I love this area. I don't want you to do this work, but I want to do this work, these differences will happen. Why? Because people are not all identical. They think differently.
They have different likes and dislikes. And in this is a test and on the Day of Judgment, what will be shown what you did, how you dealt with others, how you behaved with each other. Whenever you do a man and do not take your oats, the Holland as a means of deceit by in a con between you same word the whole is being used, that you insert you know these odds in the contract. You say well Allahu Allahu Allah, He ye to convince the other. You don't actually mean to stay with that woman for the rest of your life. But you just show that you love her because you want that passport? And when you will do that? Will it have any consequences?
Will it have any consequences that you make? Or it's just to deceive the other just to make them believe you and then later on you break it? When you will break the contract? Will it have any consequences?
You will run off with money you will run off with a passport. But what about the other person? And what about those who are watching
those who are looking on? What will they perceive about the religion of Islam? How will they think about Muslims?
First asila Cardamone last, it will slip the Zilla Zalem lambs lol to slip it will step what will step other one foot the foot will slip bothers the booty after its firmness. The foot was firm and then it slipped. What does it mean? What does it mean? That now definitely, you will
end up making more and more mistakes. Because when a person does Leanna he says on the surface Yes, I will be there. Yes, I will do this and in the heart. Yeah, whatever. I'm not going to do it. What will happen? He will end up breaking the promise he will end up breaking not just one term, but another term and another term and another condition and fuzzy Lakota members of Bucha
Many many wrong things will happen
you know when you're being made to agree to do something and you think you cannot do it Don't say you're going to do it. Tell the other person I cannot do it or share your concerns with them. But if you say on the outward Yes, yes, I will do it and in the heart you're saying I'm never going to do this. And all the apparent you also swear an oath by Allah to convince the other person but then what will happen later on will you be able to abide by the terms and conditions? No, because you know your limitations you won't be able to fit us in Nakata, Mombasa Butea, definitely you will make errors later on.
This can be understood in a different way also cardamon this foot, it's referring to the people who are watching or the people who are being dealt with that they became quite firm, you know, on Islam in the sense that they thought positively about Muslims. They thought very positively about the religion of Islam. But when they dealt with you, and you cheated them, now their foot will slip and they will say no way. This Islam, these Muslims, I'm never going to deal with them again. Fattah Zilla cardamom Bertha so booty
tell me something these days, Islam if the image is bad, whose fault is it? It's us, right? Because we lie and we cheat. We cheat one another, we lie to each other, then of course, we will lie to others also.
All the time.
People will say that they're divorced, which is why they need more money, whereas they're not divorced. They're not. They will say they don't have an income, whereas they certainly have an income. They're working somewhere else. And they will show we have no employment here. So they are they're getting money under the table.
And when people find out what do they think about Muslims, greedy, liars, cheaters, dishonest people, unreliable. So whether you are renting out an apartment or a home or you're making a contract, so many checks, many times was sometimes referred to as a parasite community, because sucking, sucking, sucking, taking, taking, taking and not giving back. And sometimes when we're just taking taking we're taking through illegal means. Haram means through lies and deceit, for the Zilla. Kudumbam Baraka so Butea
if people don't think positively about us, perhaps we should think Is it our fault? Are we doing something wrong?
Which is blame other people and don't think about our own faults? Where are we lacking? We are part of the problem. What the local Sue and you will taste evil, meaning evil consequences were in this life and the next why the mouse Ladakh tomorrow and subete Allah because you prevented people from the way of Allah. You showed such a bad image of Islam of Muslims, that what happened other people they keep away from Islam, while Kumada been early and for you is a great punishment. This idea is so clear.
It's so clear, because many times Muslims say, you know, Kfar you can lie to them, you can cheat with them, because you know, there could fall they're not Muslim. But what does this I say that even non Muslims. Be true to your word. Be true to your promises. When you're making an oath mean it don't lie.
When you make a commitment, fulfill it, don't cheat. Because you are not just hurting the other person, you're hurting Islam.
You're hurting all the Muslims, all the Muslims because next time that individual will have to deal with Muslims. He will think about you.
He will think about you for the Zilla cardamom BARDA booty. Ha,
what the local slew of emails flooded tomorrow in Seville, Allah Woolacombe. Darlene
and unfortunately, there have been many stories where, you know, for example, Muslim men, they come to Western countries and they, you know, get married to a white woman, for instance, and they show to her that, you know, they'll always be there, whatever. And then what happens, as soon as they have their paperwork done the lever, they import their family from back home, and now they're fine.
And that woman who was used literally used this used to happen a lot before. Now it's become different because there are too many Muslims. So why would you go to a non Muslim just use another Muslim girl?
No, seriously, when there weren't that many Muslims in Western countries who was being used
just that Muslims. Yeah, you can marry a whole Kitab you can have two wives. You know, why not? And then as soon as you have your paperwork done, call us.
And the relationship and this woman What do you think she's gonna think about Islam, about Muslims that this man used me
Literally he used me. And then thereafter if there is any, you know man who is genuine in his love and his commitment to a woman, he will not be trusted. That he's also going to use us and go away.
What to do pursue Abby Masada tomorrow in Seville Allah Wa la comida. When Arlene look at the seed of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, when he made promises with others, did he fulfill them, even with non Muslims, think about Soho Davia the contract was barely all put together. When a companion came.
Remember, the son of Sohail that how he came, he ran away because he was tied up somewhere he was being abused and he was desperate. That Will you not take me almost as well you leave me at the hands of these enemies. But because the contract was already in process, the Prophet salallahu Salam didn't stop that. He sent him back. As difficult as it was, he sent him back. Look at how true the prophets of Allah Edison was to his promise, and we are willing to break it at every little excuse, while at the start will be our delay feminine kalila and do not exchange the covenant of Allah for a small price meaning for a better gain for some worldly gain in the mare in the law, because that
which is with Allah, who a hiatal Lacan, it is better for you. What Allah has is much, much better for you. If you lie, you break a promise, you break a commitment, you cheat the other person, and you make $150 more a month. Really, is it worth it? $200 Maybe $700 Okay, $1,500 you make a month, you have more of an income. What is that feminine kalila a Betty price. It's a small worldly gain. And remember that the money which is earned through haram and this is haram. By the way, and I make this clear again, this is absolutely haram, that we lie to others about our marital status, about our financial status, and we gain money for free. This is haram money,
food that is bought with that is haram food, education that is acquired with that is haram education, bills that are paid with that for a house that is haram. Then where will the baraka come? How will there be peace in our families in our households? How will relationships be healthy? This is haram money. It is feminine hollyland A petty petty price meaning something so insignificant because of what you're putting your offer at stake. How much can you enjoy $1,500 How much can go with like this, you know, when you go for groceries, how your money just goes away, and how that food also finishes so quickly. Was it worth it, you gain a little bit of advantage in this worldly
life and you're putting your ocra at stake. Some of them kalila that which is what Allah is far better.
There award which Allah has in store for you for your honesty, for your sub over poverty, for your being content with even a little amount, that is how Allah, Allah will give you that which is much better. So trust him, the provision that is decreed for you that is meant for you will most certainly come to you. It will come to you it will find you you don't really have to go find it,
it will find you that money will reach you those things will reach you which are meant for you.
But it's about how you get it that you are responsible for that which is with Allah is far better in quantum tournament if you have knowledge, meaning if you have even a little bit of
even a little bit of knowledge of the deen then you would not be making haram money then you would not be earning money through false means. I was just thinking that we all have golden rules that we live by and Allah is giving us a golden rule of you know, being a person of your word. And that will lead to you know, honesty and that will lead to you know, keeping your promises and all this stuff that just because you're being hat falling that one golden rule, you can earn exactly a good reputation, you know, healthy relationships. It's a very, very unique golden rule which will improve your life drastically. A cinematic
and working supply in daycare, and I went one center when we start talking about slamming I told to have cheating and haram things and she told me then why most of kids here they say we are single mother in the tech subsidy. And I told her maybe they are not practicing. I don't think so she told me they were like you. So suppose we practicing
any This is amazing. where Muslims will say you know Muslim mothers will come and say we are single
and
And this is why we need this discount and that discount. And we need this government, you know, provision in that provision. And at the same time, we also say that Zina is haram and how did you have the child if you're a single woman? 50 of you all 50 of you are divorced, everyone is divorced. How's that possible?
Sound like him. A lot of the times people do this do piano and he's illegal transactions, because they feel like to do has, like impossible. So every time someone tells me like, it really bothers me, when I find out like these kinds of things, and if I tell them, like, why are you doing this, or a small example is, people were some, some youth are applying for a job, and you had to have specific experiences for it. And they did it. So what they did is they borrowed somebody else's resume and just threw their name on it. And then after, I was having a debate, saying, what like, why do we have to do is just for a job. And you're gonna like, you're saying, you're asking a lot
for money so that you don't have to take OSAP but then you're making a using a false resume to get a job. At the end, it's all just Yeah, and then after they're like, Well, you can't get by in this country without, you know, doing these things. And then after so What the Why do you live here if you don't feel like you can, like, you know, do anything * out? Like, if you have to do head on Why on earth are you here? Exactly. And the thing is that when you lie and cheat initially, when later on your lies are exposed, the reality is exposed.
Once I have like, I'm used to do the babysit, there is a lady, she's a Muslim. She's wearing hijab and everything. And she said like now I'm, I can't send my son for the babysit because the subsidies they don't want me to give, because she showed that she is a single mother, although she lives with her husband and everything, and she's wearing hijab and so she's like, what she is showing that being a Muslim, she was telling lie to the government. Now the government knows that she's not a single mom.
Again, I remind you, this is haram.
It is haram. We don't understand we think Haram is Riba.
Haram is alcohol. Haram is pork. Yes, that is haram. But this kind of money is also haram Would you ever put pork in your child's mouth?
Then how can you put haram money, food but with haram money into your child's mouth?
Salam aleikum. I think what people need to understand is that when you lie, the first person you lie to is to yourself. Also as Muslims, we are whether we know that not we're all ambassadors to our religion. Yes. Many years ago, when Muslims went to Europe, there is a lot of Europeans took the Islam as a religion was not what the Muslims preached it, but it was the way Muslims behaved and conduct themselves.
It's the clock, it's the dealings with people. If we connect this to the previous verse that ALLAH SubhanA, Allah has given, like what he has allowed us to do and what he hasn't allowed us to do. It's again, it's he's telling us how to live our life amongst people, not only amongst Muslims, but also amongst non Muslims. And this is only for our own betterment. I know someone who the reason he's able to get him the good jobs and stuff is because he is constantly truthful and honest. Every time someone has asked him, you know, why don't you just add this to your resume? Why don't you do that? He's like, No, how can I say I've done it, even though, you know, I haven't Alhamdulillah.
Because of that he was able to get such a good reference from his previous job place, that he was able to get a good job. Now, just because he was honest, even though before he was in a time where he didn't have a job, just because of his honesty, his previous work like previous employer, he gave him such a good reference. And I'm glad he was able to get a great job. And this was just because of his honesty. And all his all his colleagues respect him just because of how truthful he is. And they're like, Oh, you're the first person I've met who's like this, like a Muslim man who's just so honest and respectable. It was totally saddening to hear that he was the only one who'd gotten such
a good reference. They're all surprised. Oh, wow. He's such an honest Muslim men. So that's how we really need to think about the image we're giving to others. And if we just actually read and try to follow even a little bit of the verses that Allah Subhana Allah has given us, we will find that people think much better of us, and they will treat us much better just because we are being honest to them.
And you see, being dishonest and cheating other people. What's the reason behind that?
Greed?
A little bit more money, a little bit more benefit. But what is that compared to the loss in the ACO?
My question is, now that we know that our ad was supposed to be just, I was also showing example of Muslims. How can we actually fix this problem that we're having with the community and stop this cycle of dishonesty and yeah, it's unfortunate
very, very common, a marble marble roof when the human worker, commanding that which is right and forbidding from that which is wrong, it's the responsibility of the sister to tell the sister know, if you're showing that you're a single mom, that's a lie. Don't know that this is how money
us and I'm gonna go, I feel that we've all lost trust in a lot, because we're playing this victim game where we think we can do something or we can get it if we don't lie. But if you have trust in a lot, you would know that no matter what you did, you would get it. So we all need to like go back and have trust in Allah know that if you do tell the truth, if you're meant to get the job, you'll get it. If you're meant to get that degree you'll get it doesn't matter what you do.
So Michael, in my university, like you get this, you pass for students, and it's like, you can go on the Mississauga transit for 10 months, for only about like, $40. It's included in your tuition. But one time I was on the bus, and I already graduated from university, and there's this girl who was going to university and she was like a hijabi. She was a Muslim. And like, she was a nice girl. And she's like, why don't you just buy it off someone. So basically, she was suggesting that I pretend to be a student, going to university and by the U pass, rather than pay the bus fare every time. And like, I didn't tell, like, I feel like I should have told her this. But like, I feel like if you
restrict your means and pretend to be like, needy, then Allah will always keep you in that position. Like if Allah gave me a job, and if he gave me money to pay the bus fare, then why should I not pay it? Right? Yes, very true. This what you said at the end, that if you always think that you're needy, and you live like that, then Allah will keep you needy. Because in Hadees, also, we learned that whoever tries to be self sufficient, Allah makes him self sufficient. Allah gives him self sufficiency, a person who seeks independence from people, that I should not just be constantly, you know, taking, taking taking, I should do something to look after myself, and Allah will make him
self sufficient.
This reminds me of when we spoke, like in a previous class about how whatever risk is meant for us in our lifetime, it's already written and it's up to us, like whether we choose an illegal way or a halal way of getting it, it's going to be the same in the end. Exactly. Yes. Most of the Muslims believe that if they are paying, there's a cost they are doing their share. That's why they don't need to pay the tax. But could I feel that if you can get away without telling a lie, and get away with the tax, maybe that's right. But that's not possible in Canada. So I think paying tax is as important as paying your car hence the car is your obligation to your Lord, as a Muslim, you have to
give zakat and living in a particular country getting benefits from there, that's your obligation to the country, and that you have to give those taxes. Suddenly,
if we think about like, our life, we were planting a tree, right? If we like fat, like rotten seeds, like mustard seeds, everything else is gonna turn out corrupted, right? Of course, what you saw is what you read, what you put in the ground is what you get for yourself.
I'm a bit shy in saying whatever I want to say. But I just want sisters, really, really sisters who say that they are single all the wherever. And when they are not. First of all, as sister said, as the teacher said It's haram. The other thing I'm saying is, please just be mindful of the impact it's having on your core sisters, or your co brothers, your sons and daughters. We're working in that industry, when people come to you and tell you what about this. And sometimes they say we can have a handshake with a male person, or they are very well dressed and you really love how they're dressed as Muslims, yet what they say is different. I would just request anybody to just take a
minute to think about the impact they're having on those people who are in that industry. Thank you on the Muslims who are working in this industry, that how much shame and embarrassment they have to live with all day, like, literally your employees are looking at you like yeah, one of your kind has come again. And I wonder what story they're going to make what they're going to offer, and at the same time, what impact you're having on people who are genuinely in need,
that how much they have to do in order to prove that they are in need. You're making life difficult for your own brothers and sisters. So I'm similar to what the sisters had the back like for us, like I go to high school. And I went to see the vice principal to make arrangements for a lot of prayers because it's going to fall during school time. And at our school, it's always a complicated business and she wasn't happy about it every year she isn't. And so I asked why is that you have an issue every year for us like Diletta
Do Juma prayers, why not lower pears because it's in between class time. And she said that a few years ago, there was a sister or brother, I forget and how they also went to the vice principal and asked for arrangements to be made for the Harper's. And he said, you know, we have to come every day. And this is a big deal for us and everything. As the Vice Principal made arrangements for them, I got a separate room for them and let them leave class five minutes early, and all of that stuff. And then after a while, she said that the sister or the brother didn't come after why they came regularly for the first few weeks, and then they didn't come afterwards. And then they came again,
and they didn't come again. And then she found out that that was just an excuse to miss class, when there was a test, the brothers sister would leave and then and they use prayer as an excuse. So then the vice principal, now she had an image of you know, daily prayers as something that's, you know, not genuine, like it was just a thing made for convenience. And that effect has fallen on us now. Like, this is your mention of those who might be in need. So those who genuinely want to be the art school, it's an issue for us now, because now the vice principal doesn't know whether to trust us or not.
I was also just to answer a question how we can, like make this cycle stop is to stop making excuses. Like, for example, we have as a university student, half pay $3 was a high school student, I'm just saying like, we're still students just speak to dollar. Stop making excuses and saying like, those people are not being fair to us, or it's not fair that I have to pay so much extra but just know that Allah has testing, you know, what you're doing is not about how if they're being unfair or not. So just always look at yourself and know that one day we're going to return back to a loss. So be prepared for that.
The How to stop this virus from spreading and this unfortunately, so many people are afflicted by this. How do you stop that? First of all, with your own example,
with your own example, because when you will do things the halal way, you're setting an example for people that it is possible to do things a halal way.
So I'm gonna do my work in the subsidized housing industry. And I work specifically with people who live with a mental health issue. And a sister approached me saying how can I get documents that my son is mentally sick so I could get into subsidized housing. So just throwing that into the mix?
In Manila, who are in Nyla, he'll add your own.
Salam Alaikum. I came here just to remind all of us sister Tamia, she said you clearly is haram. And it's not too late to do Toba because Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam he said coolibah Adam hopin every human being can do mistake but it's time we are alive. So we can do Toba. So all of us if any of us doing this Subhanallah we have to do Toba and we have to stop right now. Because in a definitely Yama Allah subhanho wa Taala he will ask what we know if we don't know we can say Allah we don't know but if we know we will be questioned what of what we know. Yes.
I'm a tutor all the time. I have to be pushy to the parents I need checks, right? Because I have to show my income. I am telling you and I had a Hindu students as well and I have Hindu students they are cooperating with me where the Muslims like especially the mothers when they come they say no we're gonna give you cash so it's like a big trouble for me for especially for my husband you know we took that cash and put them back into the you know, the bank then we got just to show them because I have to pay the tax sorry before you move on. It's actually the other way around. Usually when you're giving somebody a check they say I cannot take a check please give me cash
because if I take a check
then I'll have to pay taxes then I'll have to register my business
and a lot of mothers didn't know me here because because I have all the time pushy to them you know you have to pay me the check. You know one time like what happened one lady she said to me I can't afford that you know so I said okay, whatever you were saying I'm gonna because like you know the boy I gave her concession and I give the reset see to that lady and you know she said she saw the receipt to everybody she said you know after that a lot of women they came to me can you give free tuition to my son we go look he is a Hafiz right. So she spread it to everybody like she's a soft hearted woman so you can see what she showed the receipt to that person. Then I discussed with my
husband if I'm giving the receipt to them right and with the concession look there what they are spreading like this so whatever they do I give receipt to them.
