When Levina and those who either unfuckable when they spend, what are their spending habits like
when they spend lamb UserInfo
they do not do Astrov they're not extravagant UserInfo from a Seraph seen Rafa, what does his rough mean is rough is to spend in that which is unlawful. So spend for a cause for a purpose that is unlawful, meaning it is not lawful for you to spend your money in that way, or for that particular object or whatever it is that a person is purchasing. Right? Like, for example, buying a bottle of alcohol, for instance, even if somebody gives it to you for $3, which is highly unlikely. But even if they give you like a very quality wine, if they give you for $3, would you say oh, $3 only? No, did you save money there? You wasted This is a Seraph, you understand, likewise, is trough also
applies to spending for the sake of showing off. Because when a person is spending in order to show off, then they are basically spending their money on things they don't need. You understand? They're spending their money on things that are extra that are irrelevant to them. But they're just spending in order to impress others. Is that a waste of money? It's a big waste of money because people don't even notice. And even if the notice how much will they appreciate? Really how much?
Yeah, even if they appreciate it, it's quite possible that they're not even sincerely appreciating, they're laughing at your choice inside. Right? They disagree with what you chose, but on the surface are saying, Oh, very nice. Very nice. You know, Party City. Party City says big store, right? So when my son could read, of course he could. He was looking at words, which were pink and blue and green and colorful, right? So on our way to Alberta. Every time we drive we see Party City. So one day he said Party City. And my daughter's like what is that? So every time we drive by Can we go to Party City? Can we go to Party City? I'm like, Okay, fine. So eventually, like fine, I'll take you
guys there. I took them there. But before we entered, I said, we're not buying anything.
We're not buying anything. You can see what's inside, but we're not buying anything and the like, but mama or like whatever you need, Inshallah, we'll get you. But we're not buying anything from here. So they're like, Okay, we went inside, can you imagine, didn't buy anything except for, except for just one plate. All right, that was a need. Not an extra thing. It was something that was needed. And it was a dish. So it was useful. But anyway, I was thinking, whether it is paper plates or whatever. I mean, sometimes you need these things. But majority of those things are what decorations, which are bought, you spent so much of your time putting them up. And then what happens
the moment the party is over,
the more intent is over what happens to it. In the garbage in the garbage. Why did you go through that effort of buying all of that, putting up all of that, because you want to impress your guests, it doesn't mean that you let your guests come in into a dirty house into a messy house. No, into a house that's not, you know, welcoming. No, you make it welcoming, and there's nothing wrong in putting decorations, but do it within moderation. Moderation, we have forgotten moderation. And we have, we are blindly imitating other people that if other people are celebrating a particular occasion, then we have to celebrate in the same way. We have to buy party decorations also, and we
have to decorate our house inside outside. And the next day, we're going to throw it out. And we are the same people who will use the masajid. Right? And we don't want to give even $5 Even though we've used the bathroom. We've used the classroom we've used whatever it is, we don't want to pay the fees. We don't want to buy books. We don't want to spend money there. But we have the money to spend on these extravagant things. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against Party City. Okay.
I'm just against extravagance, we have to be careful about what we spend our money on. Think before you spend Why are you buying something? What's the purpose? Is it to impress other people? Is it to look good in the eyes of other people? That is rough. Another form of a Seraph is to spend on something that is not a need.
All right, that is not a neat. Does this mean that you cannot buy things that you like? Well, you can buy things that you like, even if they're not a necessity? Yes, even if they're not a necessity if they're going to be a convenience for you, and you can afford it Bismillah go ahead and purchase it. Make your life easy so that you can use your time
For more productive work, why not? If you've got the money, go ahead and spend it make it easier for yourself. Right? Like, for example, you can use a phone that's 10 years old. Yeah, it works perfectly fine. You can send text messages, for sure you can. But wouldn't it be much easier for you if you could just talk to Siri, as you're driving?
Wouldn't it be easier? It would save you time, right? The other day we were walking in Winston Churchill. I told my son Winston Churchill was a person. He was like, Who was he? Like, I don't remember who exactly he was. I know that he was from England. But will he was exactly not sure. When I go to when we go home, he's going to ask me again. And he's not going to let me do my work when I open my computer until I answer him. So as I'm driving, I just pressed my home who was Winston Churchill? I got the answer. Save time, right.
But Astrov is when you buy everything that you please, everything that you desire, even if you have no need of it. This is why some scholars they said, Manish Thoreau, whoever purchases everything that he pleases is the her that he desires for who will most riff.
So for example, you go to the grocery store. Yeah, I feel like having groups. I feel like having strawberries. I feel like having berries. I feel like having these berries also. Yeah, they're on sale or buy three boxes. Are you going to eat all of that? Can you possibly consume all of that before it goes bad? By the way, you can't buy just because it's on sale. And just because you feel like buying every fruit over there. And just because you can afford to buy it doesn't mean that you should buy it. You understand? Because when we start spending our money like this, then what do we have left? Little and when we have little left? Then can we spend in good works then? Now we can't?
We're not able to? So the bottom ramen Alladhina either? unfuckable lamb UserInfo? Well, I'm Yocto they don't even go to the other extreme. And they do not spend sparingly they're not stingy, yet through is from faff da, da, da is to not even spend on ones need. Especially milk that is used for a person who is stingy with his family. tight *. Right? Like for example, diapers are needed? No, but I just bought the diaper as well even if you bought them diapers or needed. What are you going to do not put the diaper on the baby? You understand? There is no point beings trying to save money when it comes to diapers. Does it make sense? No, it doesn't. Does it make sense to try to
save money when you have a headache and you need a coffee? And you're standing in front of Tim Hortons and you have $5 in your pocket? Doesn't make sense. I mean, it's understandable if you've got no money at all, except for those $5 Yes, you're like, Okay, bear the headache and don't have the coffee. But if you've got money, and you still don't buy the coffee that you need, what is that you're being stingy with yourself? And this is not noble? All right. So Alladhina either and for holding them up for Well, I'm Yocto root and how do they spend? Allah says what can Avena Delica? Oh, but they are can What does kinda show ever always they are between that meaning between these
two extremes? They are called
justly moderate Kawan. What does it literally mean from the religious cloth? Well mean. Beyond from the same root right? Column is upright posture, upright posture. So for example, if a person is sitting or standing straight,
as opposed to leaning forward, or standing so arrogantly that they are almost falling behind. You understand? What is moderate, leaning forward, or with your shoulders thrown back. What's moderate, standing straight up, right, this is our you understand what kilometers. So our aim is that which is balanced on both sides. And if you think about it, moderation.
What does that allow? Moderation allows you to continue what you're doing, right? Moderation allows you to be more productive. Like for example, if you sleep,
right? Like for example, seven hours, seven hours. Is that enough sleep? It is if you sleep three hours, is that enough sleep? What's gonna happen? What's gonna happen to you? You're gonna get sleepy. If you're driving, you might get so tired that you won't be able to focus correct, you might harm yourself. And if you oversleep is that harmful as well? Yes, it is. When it comes to eating, not eating enough. And on the other extreme, eating too much. If you don't
Eat enough, you're constantly hungry, isn't it? And if you eat too much, then you have your first world issues off. How do I feel better? What do I eat in order to fix what I ate? Right? Like, for example, I had so much food. And now I am feeling such and such, what should I eat? While the problem is that you ate too much in the first place, you shouldn't have eaten and now you're thinking about what to eat to fix the first problem. That's worse. Right. So what is Columbian moderation, because when you are monitored in something, moderation is what allows existence if you think about it, because it brings you consistent energy, like, for example, moderation and eating
and sleeping, you have consistent energy levels, right? socialization, when you're socializing with your friends, even that in moderate amounts, is it healthy? It's healthy. So when it comes to spending, also, how should we spend column moderately? What does it mean then, that they spend on their needs, and they also save for greater purposes. Because we go on two extremes. Either we spend whatever we have, or we go to the other extreme, and we save everything we have. And we don't spend on what we need. You understand. So there has to be a balance, or about the Rockman neither give everything away, nor do they keep everything to themselves. And remember, this is a sign of a
person's intelligence, how they spend their money. How you spend your money is a sign of how sensible you are. Or you are not. Okay? If a person spends all the money that they've got, what does it show? They're not careful. And if a person does not spend them their needs even what does that show? They're very greedy, right? They're insecure. In total Israel I owe 27. We learn in the mobile Delena Kano, a Hawaiian a che our plane will kind of show off on a little bit quicker for those who are wasteful. They're the brothers of shaitan. So being wasteful, makes the person closer to shaitan. In total, Izaiah 29. We learned well, I told you earlier that Lula and ILA are no quick
WalletHub Sudha colobus don't go to these extremes, that you tie up your hand to your neck, meaning you don't spend anything. And don't even open your handout completely, that you give everything away, that you spend everything that you have. No. Why because this will make you regret. What Lavina and those people who lie at the Runa Allah He Isla Han, who do not invoke with Allah, another deity. Why? Because invoking another god with Allah. besides Allah, what is that? It is schicke and in surah Nisa, I have 48 we learned in Allah Allah.
Allah does not forgive shit, but he forgives other sins, so they keep away from shit. When I have to learn and they do not kill enough's the soul which soul which person allottee haram Allah, which Allah has forbidden meaning which Allah has declared sacred, meaning whose life is sacred, the person whose life is sacred, he's innocent, he should not be killed. Sorry that man do not kill innocence. In that will help except with the truth meaning with a just cause, meaning if a person is declared guilty, all right. If a person is declared guilty, and they're to be punished, with the capital punishment, then only about the man will kill them otherwise rebels man will not kill
others. Why? Because human life is sacred, while I as known, nor do they commit unlawful sexual * they do not commit Zina. Why? Because in total Israel I owe 32 We learn in the WHO CAN affair Hey Schatten was Sassa Vela Zina is an indecency and it's an evil way. It's a very bad way. It's a very bad thing. We may have our VALIC and whoever does that does what any of these three things any of these three crimes, which three crimes are mentioned over here, shink Cottle, Zina Warmia. File VALIC. Yellow Car he will meet from lamp off yeah, Luca is to meet he is going to meet a Thumma penalty. Punishment. A thumb is the punishment for Ethan. It is the punishment for sin. So
whoever does any of these actions, what does Allah say? This person will definitely meet punishment, if not in this world, for sure in the hereafter. In a hadith and Behati. We learn from the
Little bit Masaru little Dillo Arne who said the Prophet sallallahu sallam was asked which sin is the most serious? And he said that you appoint a rival to Allah when he has created you. The man said, then what he said that you kill your child for fear that he will eat with you. The person asked then what the Prophet sallallahu sallam said that you commit adultery with your neighbor's wife. These are all serious worst sins in the sight of Allah subhana wa Tada such a person who commits the sins you barf it will be multiplied bog I infer mobile alpha to multiply the whole for him what will be multiplied for him Elijah the punishment, when will it be multiplied for him? Yo
Malkia on the Day of Judgment way of blood and he will abide eternally fee in it in what in the punishment how how will he abide eternally in it Mohana humiliated Mohan from the letter is how well known
alright we learned to hone in earlier Hone is with humility, softness correct. And over here Mohan means one who is humiliated
all right and this is from whom are there well, whom whom one is honed and the other is who Hoon is disgrace so yes no fee Mohana he will be disgraced despised he will not have any honor whatsoever in hellfire. Why? Because of the sins that he has committed notice or that was mentioned. And the fact that he will be Mohan is mentioned because our that punishment This is hesi it is physical. And Mohan being humiliated, that is minor we it is intangible that is what you feel in your heart and people in * will be treated. In this way they will be humiliated and disgraced insulted me no and I are 108 We learn that when the people of * will beg in order to be taken out of hellfire, they
will be told called Sophie hawala to call the moon. Allah will say to them remain in here and do not even talk to me. Do not even talk to me yet not V Mohana. Now there is a question over here Allah says the punishment will be doubled, multiplied, not just doubled but multiplied many times over. But doesn't Allah subhanaw taala say in the Quran, that mangia will have sanity fella who are short on 30 Her woman job is say at Fela, user Illa Mithila. That whoever brings a good deed he'll be given. Sometimes it's like and whoever brings a sin, he'll be given only its compensation. Right it's recompense. Meaning sin is not to be multiplied, but reward is to be multiplied. So what does
it mean by this you bla bla hula either. Yes.
Okay, that's right. One sin. Remember, it never remains one sin.
Especially the sins that are mentioned in this verse schicke Cottle, Zina. They never remain an isolated action and isolated sin. No. It's definitely going to be connected with other sins, it's going to lead to other sins. One wrong action for sure will lead to another wrong action. For example, Zina, does it just happen like that? No. There's many sins that were committed before Zina that a person ended up committing Zina Patil also, can a person just get up and kill another human being like that. No way. He can't, when will he do it? When he's lost respect for humanity when he does not care for human life.
This is the reason why we're not allowed to backbite This is the reason why we're not allowed to insult one another, to be rude to each other. We are taught to speak to people good words, because you respect their dignity, so that you can respect their life. And when one limit is crossed, 100 is crossed, then what happens? You cross more and more limits that have been set. So once it never remains one sin, it is composed of many sins, and it leads to more sins. And also remember that a person is emulated by others also, because when a person commits a sin like what is described over here, then he is taken as a role model by others.
Isn't that so?
Rarely is that people will take a good deed as an example. or so and so has memorized Quran let me also do it. But when a person is committing a sin, then what happens? What do people do while they're doing it? I can also do it. She's doing it. Let me also do it. And this is why in the Quran we learn in Sri Lanka Budaya 13 well as MeLuna as Allah whom was Colin mass calling him they will carry their
her own burdens and also the burdens of others on the lettuce tree. So this is why you lost the hula or that the punishment will be multiplied. It will be increased in that except men tab, the one who repents what Armineh and he believes Well, I'm an unsightly hand and he does righteous deeds for hola Iike than those you bet did Allahu Allah who will change the ad to him their sins, into Hassan Ad into good deeds. What can Hola Hola Hola, Rahima and Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. Notice over here what is mentioned, except for the one who repent what is repentance that you leave the sin and you decide never to do it again you seek forgiveness for what has been done. This is Toba, but after
taba what is mentioned Elena, he also believes Why believe? Doesn't he already believe? If he didn't believe why would you repent? What does it mean by this? Allah and tava? What are mana? You see, in a hadith we learned that when a person is committing Zina than a man leaves his heart
when a person is stealing, committing theft than a man leaves his heart. Yes. Because it's not possible that a person believes Oh, my Lord is watching me and he is going to ask me and yes, I am still going to commit the sin. You understand? This doesn't mean that if a person has committed a sin, they've become a non Muslim.
Be very careful, because some people go to this extreme and they say, Oh, if a person has committed a sin, they have become a mortal. They become an apostate so they should be killed. That Hola Hola, como de la Bella. This is an extreme. This is not what the Sunnah teaches us. The Sunnah teaches us that when people committed sins, major sins in the game to the Prophet sallallahu send them the Prophet sallallahu Sallam taught them to do Toba and he taught them to revive their Iman how we learned in the Hadees that a particular person sarpaneva Cos Rhodiola horn who and not an ordinary Sahabi Sergeant Obi will cause war doesn't have their name. Sar gonna be what costs he said that he
swore by a let and reserve who are Latin Erza they were idols. So perhaps it was his habit from before Allah Harlem, he swore an oath by Latin Erza and this is a statement of Sheikh so he got really worried and he went to the Prophet sallallahu and he said that I did this. The Prophet sallallahu sallam said, c'est la ilaha illa Allah wa the hula Sharika the whole monk who Allah will hum Wahoo Anaconda che in Cadiz. Meaning say the statement to revive your faith in Allah Alone into hate. You understand? So revive your faith. This is what is meant by Ramana and then what Amina Ramadan Salah Han, then a person must also do righteous deeds. Why righteous deeds? Because in Al
Hasan ad, you hipness, a good deeds erase bad deeds. So what do we learn from this idea that if someone has committed a sin even like that, if schicke even like that, a bottle of Zina, what do we learn? He should repent. You should believe revive a spare and perform righteous deeds, renew his faith because Eman was made very, very weak. And also remember, sincere repentance will convert sins into good deeds because what do we learn here for Hola, Erica, you bet did Allah who say he has an ad, this is amazing.
Imagine sins are being converted into good deeds? Or about the right man right? When a person worships Allah, he finds Allah to be our rock man. Tell me which judge is it that you go in front of right and they convert all of your bad record into a good record? Who's gonna do it? Nobody does that the maximum they do is they say okay, you know, you're not going to be punished for such and such. You are exempted from this in this right? But they're not going to convert your crimes into good things never ever, but Allah subhanaw taala convert sins into good deeds, this is the reward of sincere repentance. The Prophet sallallahu sallam said some people will wish on the day of judgment
that they had more sense.
Some people will wish on the day of judgment that they had committed more since this doesn't mean in this world, by the way, on the Day of Judgment, okay, so don't say Well, let me send you that I can be of those people that Hello Lakota. Okay. So he was asked, why the Prophet sallallahu sallam said, there are those who sins Allah will convert into good deeds. Alladhina but then Allah will say yeah, Tim has an so when their sins will be converted into good deeds
If they will wish that they had committed more sin so that even they would be converted to good deeds, they would have more good deeds, therefore more reward. In a hadith we learned this hadith and assessor to Sahana, very similar hadith is in Muslim also that a man will be brought on the day of judgment and it will be sad, present his minor sins. So his minor sins will be presented and the person will be asked, Did you do this? Did you do this? Did you do this? And he will say because he's a believer in Allah, true believer, but after all, he was a human being he made mistakes, he will say yes, yes, he will not refuse even one he will you will admit you will confess, and he will
be afraid that what if my major sins are presented before me? If they're presented, I'm finished. So then it will be said, replace or to hold McCanna Coolessay at an army Lucha Asana give him in place of every sin that he committed a good deed.
Replace his sins with what with good deeds for the person will say, in nearly the newborn mouth or Ahana. I also committed other sins which I don't see here. Where are those? Now he will want that his major sins are presented, so they're converted into major good deeds.
But my dear sisters, this is the reward for what? sincere repentance Toba is still far. This is why it is necessary that daily every single day we beg forgiveness from Allah subhanaw taala we admit our sins before him. And this is why the daughter of Satan is the father is precious is so important. Every morning every evening Allahumma Anthropy Wallah You are my Lord Lola and there is no god but you collected you created me one hour of look I'm your servant will enter Allah handy. Kawara DECA must authority. I am on your promise, meaning I am obedient to you as much as I'm able. I'm doing the best that I can.
What's next? I will do because men sharing Masana I seek Your protection from the evil that I have committed. What's next? A boo laka binaire Motyka aleja I confess before you all the blessings that you've bestowed upon me meaning I admit the yes you have given me this I acknowledge all the blessings that you've given me what's next? What a boo. Be them be and I also confess my mistakes my sins. What's next fall fairly? For in the whole lie y'all Feroz, Aruba Allah so Allah forgive me because none can forgive sins except for you. This is necessary. And when a person sincerely repent to Allah everyday like this in sha Allah, there's hope that their sins will be converted into good
deeds. This is why a Toba is the father should be a regular habit. Allah says woman tab whoever repents why Emilio Sala Han and he does righteous deeds for inner Huya tubal in Allah Hema tava for a know that indeed he yeah to boo he is returning it Allah to Allah metabo with accepted repentance metab is basically a must not and he has come here for emphasis return in repentance, meaning the one who repents and does good deeds, then yes, he has truly repented. His repentance is sincere.
Do you ever wonder after saying stuff that Allah stuff that Allah and Toba? Do you ever wonder if your Toba was sincere or not?
You always wonder Right? Was my is Stefan even accepted was my Toba even accepted. I committed the sin a while ago and I've been doing this too far, but I wonder if my Toba has been accepted or not. How do you know what's the sign? Look at this eye and tell me what's the sign?
Woman Thaba y mi la sala Han the sign of true sincere Toba saw how sincere repentance is that a person will change he will change his actions. He will change his lifestyle his habits he will erase his sins how? By I made a solid one by performing good deeds. It is actions that show whether a person's repentance was sincere or not. Not that a person keeps returning to sin deliberately as if he is mocking at his Lord.
Remember for sincere repentance. What is necessary good deeds. sins must be left and good deeds must be performed in place of those sins. And when a person repent sincerely to Allah subhanaw taala then their reward is immense. It is immense. First of all, a person is blood
literally transformed. He's changed like the prophets of Allah Islam said criado cranfill Jehovah Yeah, we are completely Islam. Those of you who are best in the days of ignorance are now best in Islam, best in Islam because that Tiber has transformed them. And remember for this, the reward is immense. Once a person came to the Prophet salallahu Salam, and he said that, what do you say about a man who's committed every sin and he's not left any sin at all? No sin at all. He's left he's committed every sin possible. What do you say about that person? The prophets of Allah Azza knew that that man was asking about himself. Because that man from other airports, we learned that either
he was concealing his face or something like that he was trying to hide from the Prophet sallallahu sallam. So the Prophet sallallahu sallam said, Did you accept Islam? And he said, Yes, as for me, I bear witness that there is no God worthy of worship of Allah and that Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam is his messenger. So the Prophet sallallahu sallam said, do good deeds, and leave since and Allah will turn all your sins into good deeds. Allah will turn all your sins into good deeds. This is for who for a person who especially has embraced Islam,
for a person who has embraced Islam. All right. So when you meet a new Muslim, or if you happen to be someone who has helped another convert to Islam, accept Islam, then give them this good news that their sins have been converted into good deeds. Recently, I met a sister who had recently converted to Islam. And she was asking me about things that she had done. I said, don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. And I told her about this hadith, and she was pleasantly surprised. Very, very happy, you should have seen the expression on her face. I mean, revival.
Right. When your worship Allah you find that Allah, Allah man, you find him most most Merciful. When Medina and those who lie ash whodunnit zoo, they do not testify to falsehood, Yeshua doon from shahada what the shahada mean. shahada means to testify, like, for example, in a court, so for example, you're a witness to a particular thing that happened. So you're called to give testimony. So over there, you have to speak the truth. Right, speaking falsehood over there saying that, Oh, yeah, this person I saw them committing the murder for instance, whereas you didn't see them? You're making it up? This is what false testimony. So Allah says when leadin Allah shadowed a zoo, they do
not give false testimony. Why? Because this is a major sin, major sin. In a hadith we learned the Prophet sallallahu sallam, he asked, shall I not tell you of the greatest of major sins? And the Sahaba said, Yes, please. And the prophets of Allah Islam said schicke and disobeying one's parents, and at this time, the Prophet sallallahu sunnah was reclining. And then he sat up straight. And he added Wilco to Zoo and false testimony, false testimony, false testimony, he kept repeating himself until the Sahaba thought that he wouldn't stop. This is how much he emphasized false testimony is what it's a major said. So Alladhina lash Sedona Zoo. But remember, that shahada doesn't just mean
testifying in a court it also means to be present somewhere, to witness something, meaning to see it to listen to it to be somewhere when something is happening. This is also Shahada. So they do not witness zoo. What is zoo falsehood. I gave you the detailed meaning of the word zoo at the beginning of April for con, right for Joe Woolman was hoorah. So I'm not gonna go into the detail over here. So zoo falsehood. What does it mean by this, that they neither lie, nor are they present, were wrong is being done. Wherever wrong is being done. They don't stay there. They don't stand there watching it. They don't sit there listening to it. No. And whatever color shape or form that wrong is in that
falsehood is in they have no interest in it. Falsehood does not attract them, even if it is for the purpose of entertainment. They don't like lies and they don't find falsehood to be funny or entertaining. Even our basketball below our annual he said that a Zune refers to their Aedes and the festivals of the Mushrikeen
All right, the festival that we're seeking, now remember that they were religious ceremonies, religious ceremony, so we're open issue is being committed. They're about to recommend don't go to such places where people are circling around their idols and they're, you know, worshipping their idols. No, they don't do that Mujahid said that a Zulu refers to the gatherings of music and singing
meaning that where that entire atmosphere of sin is created that entire atmosphere of sin.
And I mean sin. All right? That for example, the way men and women are dressed the way they're sitting with each other, the way the whole crowd is cheering and the way people are singing, and they're not just singing, they're also dancing. And there's inappropriate words in the lyrics, you understand. So such kind of gatherings are about overhand keep away from them. Imam Abu Hanifa, he said Lucha well Hina simmilar singing a Zuhdi he said Medallia's of alcohol places where alcohol is being served. All right. Now one is that you choose not to go there. All right, you have control over that. Sorry about the merman whenever they have the option of leaving a place like this, right?
Or of staying away from places like this. They stay away. They leave such places. But sometimes you don't have the option.
For instance, if you're sitting in an airplane and the person sitting next to you, orders, alcohol, what are you going to do?
Stop this plane right now.
I have to get out of here. Can you do that? No, you can't. So then what do you do? Don't look at that alcohol. Layers whodunnit Zoo. Understand? Don't look at that person. Oh, I wonder what it tastes like? No. You see what happens when you keep looking at it? You begin to admire it. You understand? Likewise, somebody may be blasting with loud music right next to you at a traffic light. What do you do at that time? Put your windows down so they finally got to listen. Because mom doesn't let you listen to him anyway. So might as well listen now for a few seconds. No Lasha Duna zoom.
Sometimes you're dragged to such places with your family. You're not given the choice. And it happens in real life. If it's your relatives, wedding,
weddings wedding season, right? Isn't it? So when it comes to weddings, your own relative? You know, if it's your uncles, cousins, mom or something mom's daughter's son in law, something you can say I'm busy. But if it's your sister, your brother, your nephew, your cousin, your very close blood relative? What are you meant to do? Lie Asha Duna? Zu, Allah says, What are you going to do them?
Because we go to different extremes. Either we go full out and enjoy ourselves and just party and you know, have fun? Because we can or we say I'm not going at all. Not at all. So what are you going to do? Yes.
Okay. Alhamdulillah for, you know, wedding, this standard time. I don't know about other cultures, but at least in Indian Pakistani culture, it's understood that you go to a wedding late. Right? Always, you always go to a wedding late. So you can walk into the wedding fashionably late, like three, four hours late, even.
Go on it. Go late, keep in touch with people who are there, maybe find out when the music and the partying is when it's over, go? Or go early or go on time. And then say that book a doctor's appointment or something like that, right? Scheduled something, try to get out of that situation. What else can you do?
Once you started practicing,
at these kinds of gatherings, she's decided to lead by example, she would go. And if there was anything inappropriate, she would still say salaam to everyone. But she would say I'm sorry, I can't stay and she would explain why. And then they would feel bad because they were close relatives, and she's an elder of the family. So slowly, people in the families like if she can't stay, then it's a bad thing. So they started changing the arrangements and handling. So that work and hunger. And if she said I'm not coming at all, then what would happen? Good. You're not coming. We'll do whatever we want, isn't it, but because of her presence, at least they have the hire to you know, not do
certain things. Go ahead. It was my own daughter's wedding. And I said that if there will be new music, I will not come. So she didn't have any choice. So I put the sheet all the time at the wedding day, but on the Vailima and they of course it was not my function. So they put the music. So when after the arrival of the bride and groom, I came out of the hall and I was sitting outside in the lobby. So the mother in law came said Why are you sitting I'm sorry, I cannot sit inside because there's a muse so they came to know indirectly what we want. So they avoided it handled. But generally what do we do? We just stay like oh, what can I do? It looks so bad. No doesn't matter.
Because remember that when a person is sitting, that he looks bad in
The sight of Allah subhanaw taala. One is our image before people and the other is our image before Allah image before people who cares. Image before Allah matters for eternity forever. So be careful about that. Layers whodunnit zoo, they're a battle rock man do not witness falsehood. We're in a Monroe billowing. And when they have to pass by vain talk by vain speech, Ill speech. And remember law is not just speech, we did a whole discussion on Lovoo earlier, law is basically useless stuff that must be left everything that's extra irrelevant, useless garbage, basically, that you have to get rid of. Right? So sometimes you're not doing it but other people are doing it. And you pass by
them and you see them for example, listening to loud music, or for instance, not just listening but also dancing to it. For instance, now what do you do? How do their about the Rockman respond in this situation? What do they do? Allah says Monroe they pass Kira with dignity keramas applaud of Kareem and Kirana meaning with dignity without taking interest in it.
Meaning they keep themselves noble by refraining from participating in that loan. They move on.
Just like if you're walking. Alright, let's say you're walking on a sidewalk. And you see dog poop. I'm sorry for a very nasty example. If you see dog poop, what are you going to do? Oh my God, how could people do this? Like seriously? Is that dog poop? Really?
Are you going to do that?
Are you going to do that? What would you do?
Isn't it if you see it, you're just gonna ignore it and walk away.
Now what happens is when we see people doing wrong things, either we participate in it, or we start looking at them and criticizing them, backbiting about them. Like for example, you go to a wedding, there's music, not gonna say anything to the family, but sitting at the table that saying, You know what, you should have come to the other function. Oh my god, such loud music. My head still hurts from it.
What's the point? What's the point? Monroe Kalama rebuild the rock man, how do they walk with dignity, they keep themselves dignified by refraining from by keeping away from love.
Okay. Now, one thing I'd like to mention over here are about the man they keep away from Zoo. And they also keep away from love. And by keeping away what do they do? They keep themselves dignified in the sight of Allah. What does it show that when a person indulges in lung or zoo, what happens he loses his dignity, he falls in the sight of Allah subhanaw taala. Now these days, you don't have to pass by a gathering, in order to witness zoom or logo. This can happen even at your own house,
on your phone or on your computer. Right? You're opening a link to a particular article, and a pop up comes up. Or, for example, there's an ad on the side ads, of course, what do you do about them? Right? So one is that you look at it. And the other is that the moment you realize this is inappropriate, you either you know, make the screen small or you do something in order to hide that part in order to protect your eyes from it. Because remember, when a person starts looking at these things, then he is witnessing zoom. And there's something that does not befit about the Rockman. I read something in the news today, which shook me It hurt me.
You know, in India, they banned * websites, and there was a huge uproar and they had to basically the government had to lift that ban. And from one of the websites they got from the statistics, they found out that in India around the Wiley Online traffic to a particular * website drops by 36% drops. Why do you think it drops by 36%? Because people are busy in their Diwali
but in India around eidl Fifth it rises by 9%
traffic on such websites increases by 9%
around either fifth I had to read it multiple are either fifth Yeah, either fifth increased by 9%. Yeah increased by 9%. If you want to check for yourself, check BBC
because people are for
ie underneath, they're not going to go for Salah finally they're not fasting, they're awake. And all of a sudden, the traffic on such websites is increased by 9%.
And this is something that's very disturbing. We have to be very careful about what is going on, through our internet, on the phones and the computers, which are in our house.
We have to keep a check on ourselves. And we also have to keep a check on the people that are living in our houses and don't think it's only men. By the way.
Men alone are not addicted to *, even women watch *. Even women watch * many women do. And I'm not just talking about Western women. This is all over the world. If you look at the statistics, you'll be shocked. It's disturbing. When Latina lash Sedona zoo, you see Rebekah rock man, a person who truly fears Allah subhanaw taala he fears Allah even when he is alone in privacy, because when we will correct our behavior with Allah subhanaw taala and privacy only then in public can we be good also
