			Baroda bIllahi min ash shaytani R rajim Bismillah Al Rahman Al Rahim is number 123. Good luck to all
Dhonielle mousseline get the bat it denied, don't the people of odd and mousseline, the messengers,
the people of odd denied the messengers. Do you notice the word cut the Beth's she denied? Does it
mean that the people of odd were all women? So why is the feminine verb used? Why not cut Baba? Why
cut the bits? Because in Arabic when you're referring to certain nations, like for example, that
people have odd, then female pronouns are used. So because of it, Aden, the people of add denied and
mousseline all of the messengers, how did they deny all of the messengers when they denied the
		
00:00:54 --> 00:01:39
			messenger who was sent to them? And when was that it call Allah whom? A whom, when their brother
said to them, who was their brother? Who don't? Who are they his salaam, so who the early his Salam,
the prophet hood, was sent to the nation of odd and Allah subhanaw taala called him their brother.
Why? Because he was one of them. And he was well known to them and he also had brotherly concern for
his people. So he said to them a lot that the cone, do you not fear? Do you not fear Allah or Allah
do not that the goon you protect yourselves? Because remember that Taqwa? First of all, it is
understood as fear of Allah. So do you not have any fear of God? Meaning what kind of actions are
		
00:01:39 --> 00:02:26
			you committing? And secondly, do you not protect yourselves? Meaning what kind of actions are you
doing that you're putting yourself up for punishment? I love that Takane won't you fear Allah
meaning you should fear Allah, you should do something to protect yourselves in the law calm indeed
I am for you. Rasulullah Amin, a trustworthy messenger. The fact is that when a person is disobeying
Allah subhanho wa taala. What is he doing in reality, he is harming himself. Even though in the act
of disobedience, there may be a lot of pleasure, a lot of fun. In reality, a person is putting
himself up for punishment for loss, and later on, he will regret either in this life or definitely
		
00:02:26 --> 00:03:08
			in the Hereafter. This is why Allah talkin Why don't you do something to protect yourself? In other
words, why are you putting yourself in danger? Why are you harming yourself? Why are you destroying
yourself? By committing these crimes? What were the crimes of these people, we will learn about
their crimes in the following verses. But in particular, what was common amongst all of these
nations was their schicke. associating partners with Allah subhanaw taala, whether it is schicke, or
it is lying, lying to who our friends or our parents, our siblings, whoever it is, lying, cheating,
all of these actions are what in reality, their sins. And when a person is sinning, when he's
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:56
			crossing limits that Allah has said, then he is putting himself up for punishment. Factor Kula
worldly, your own. He says, I'm a messenger to you, I'm conveying this message to you faithfully,
without holding anything back without changing anything. So fear Allah and obey me, obey me. Notice
the Prophet said Allah, your only He did not say worship me. He said, obey me. But who is it that
you should worship Allah? He said, Woman LUCAM and I do not ask you, I lay on it on what for this
work that I am doing of conveying Allah's message to you, I do not demand from you in return men
edger in any other. Look at the word men, what does men mean from but men, it also gives a meaning
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:38
			off a little bit. So men adjutant meaning not even a little bit of compensation, a little bit of
reward, meaning I want nothing from you in return. Why? Because in Nigeria, my reward is not in
there except our level of Bill Alameen upon the Lord of the Worlds, meaning I am His Messenger, He
is the one who has sent me and he is the one who will compensate me you don't need to worry about my
wages, you don't need to worry about my pay. I am God's Messenger and He will take care of that. Now
the people of odd they're mentioned in great detail in the Quran, this is not the first time we are
reading about them in the Quran, and it will certainly not be the last time and we see this like for
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:59
			example, in sort of the short Ah, so far we have read several stories and in the following verses
also we will come across many stories many people of the past and the reason why the stories of the
people of the past are spread out through the Quran, is because each time a story is mentioned, we
are being taught a lesson. Like we discussed earlier. The Quran is not a book of information. It's a
book of
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:44
			lessons and in order to learn lessons sometimes you have to look into things which you are already
familiar with. Isn't that so? You you are made to revisit and we think about things which you know
very well. So, the Quran is a book of lessons and over here again the people of other being
mentioned why so that we take a lesson from their story. Now the people of odd how are they
described in the Quran? First of all, we learn that the people of odd came soon after the people of
New Orleans Salaam in the Quran in surah Arafa 69 We learn is jhana come hola Farah min birdie told
me know that Allah made you hola fat successors on the earth after the people of New Alayhis Salam.
		
00:05:45 --> 00:06:32
			So people have odd our ancient, very ancient people. Now of course they're extinct but they lived it
is said that approximately 3000 years before restarting his sternum. Secondly, we learned about the
people of our that they were a very strong and mighty nation. They weren't just any people they were
people who possessed a lot of physical strength a lot of resources. They were very mighty into the
full Senate if 15 we learn that the people have odd they said for a madam for stock but who fill out
the belated Hakoah Carlo man Asha Domina Cova they said that who is stronger than us in strength
they boasted about their physical Mike their physical strength meaning no one is more powerful than
		
00:06:32 --> 00:07:15
			us we are the most mighty people men are Shadowman nakawa In total Arafa 69 We learned was that they
can feel healthy best for their profits that to them that Allah has given you added increased
physical strength meaning he's given you such physical strength that he has not given to others.
Then we also learn about the people have odd that with their physical strength and all of the
resources they had they constructed large buildings they were known for this so for example in
through the furniture is six to eight we learned LM curve okay for foreigner logbook or beyond era
modality Mazatlan Emad their city of Iran, which was full off very mad fillers. Fillers, what does
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:17
			that indicate? Huge buildings.
		
00:07:18 --> 00:08:01
			And Allah describes that city Ilam as a Leti lamb you walk me through Hasselblad that these people
constructed such buildings with such pillars, the likes of which were not to be found anywhere else,
or the likes of the people of odd were to be found nowhere else in the world. So they also
constructed large buildings. And then we also learned that these people were especially very, very
proud. Because what happens if you've got the physical strength? If you've got the looks, and then
you've got the money? Then what do you think is going to come next? If a person has both of these
things, what's going to happen next? Pride.
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:48
			So these people were also extremely proud. We learn in sort of the hood if 59 were till God Jehovah
will be it will be him where our soul Rousselot Waterboro Umrah Coolidge a burden I need the people
of our they followed the command of every Jiabao tyrant, so it shows that their leaders were also
oppressors. Then in total Arafa 70 We learn that these people they were so stubborn on their ship
that they said to their Prophet, bring this what you threaten us with. So again, it shows their
arrogance and their pride. Now, over here in particular, what is mentioned about the people of odd
What did their profits say to them? He said a tuber noona a do Deborah Nuna you all build you all
		
00:08:48 --> 00:09:23
			construct from the word Bruneian? Burner by noon? Yeah. Bina, Bina construction to construct
something Boolean that which has been constructed, all right, Banner the act of building so double
noona do you all build you construct be commonly be at Cooley every rear in elevation, meaning at
every elevation, every high place? You build?
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:27
			You build an IRA assign
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:41
			meaning you construct buildings at every high place. And these buildings are not for the purpose of
residence? No, there simply is. Why is the building called assign?
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:59
			Assign because the purpose of these buildings was to show off their strength their resources, like
for example, a landmark or a monument or something like that when it's made. What's the objective?
What's the purpose? It is to show
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:41
			that we have so much gold that we can actually make a statue out of gold. We have so many artists,
we have so many resources that we can actually build all of this. So at habenula be co located here
in Islington. Now look at the word rear and this is new, the word rear Roya iron is used for L
McCann and Mirtha fair, meaning a place that is elevated a high place and such a place. Is it
visible from far? Is it? Of course it is. Now imagine if there's a high place that's visible from
far and on top of that is a monument. Can everybody see it? Of course, can you see from a distance
for sure you can.
		
00:10:42 --> 00:11:27
			So he said that you make all of this data bassoon, amusing yourselves to our bassoon from ibis, ah,
Bertha, what does our birth mean? Our birth is to do a purposeful action uselessly, a purposeful
action, meaning it's not that a person is just doing nothing. No, he's actually doing something. But
what's the objective of that something that he's doing? Nothing? Nothing useful. Like, for example,
if you are cutting paper, why are you cutting paper because you need that paper to be cut in a
specific shape so that you can use it for a certain reason. Now, if you're just cutting newspaper,
into shreds, why are you doing that? Why are you doing that? Okay? If a three year old is doing it,
		
00:11:27 --> 00:12:07
			you can understand they're practicing their cutting skills. But if as a 25 year old, you're just
shredding newspaper, what's the purpose? What's the reason? If there's a reason? Okay, go ahead and
do it for two hours if there's a reason. But if there's no reason at all, and once you've shredded
that entire paper and you're throwing it in the garbage, what was that activity of two hours? What
was that? Useless? This is our bus. Like, for example, bubble wrap, right? So for example, bubble
wrap, you're just popping those bubbles, right? For fun. You're putting in effort. Sometimes it's
not that easy, because you have to keep doing it. And one after the other. I remember, there was an
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:19
			app. I don't know if an advanced version of that exists today. But there was an app, all you had to
do was a step the bubbles. Like seriously, tap the bubbles for what do you get scores? And even if
you do get scores, what are you going to do with it?
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:53
			Pop an advanced level of you know, some bubbles or something. What's the purpose? I mean, tapping
itself is a useful action. But the purpose is nothing. So taba throne, this is what you're doing.
Meaning, you know why it gets addictive, because you don't feel satisfied, you don't feel satisfied.
So you want to do more and more and more. And the more you do it, the less satisfied you feel until
you finally delete that app, or just throw your phone down and go do something else that will
actually bring you a sense of fulfillment.
		
00:12:54 --> 00:13:16
			So he says to them that what are you doing, you're constructing all of these monuments, these
buildings. In reality, you're just wasting your time, your resources, your skill, your talent, why,
just for the purpose of fun, just for the purpose of displaying and showing off your strength and
your power and your wealth? Why would you do that?
		
00:13:17 --> 00:14:00
			Like for example, if there is a city where people are living, and they do build some nice, you know,
monuments or structures or art pieces or things like that around the city, is that something good?
It could be good, why not? Like for example, when you go to Makkah, there are many beautiful things
that you see around the city. You will see for example, a bridge that you have to go under but it's
actually like a Quran, like almost half that's open and you have to drive from under it. So these
are beautiful things to look at. However, does this Iam mean that we shouldn't do these kind of
things. Because Prophet who is criticizing his nation, a tuber Nona because Lydia in Ireton, tar
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:16
			bassoon that if you're not going to live in it, you're not going to sit under to get some shade.
You're not really making any money out of it. This is a waste of time. You shouldn't be doing this.
He's criticizing them. So does this mean that we should not indulgent similar things?
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:22
			Remember, Jamal beautification is for three purposes.
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:45
			It could be for three reasons. One is that which is praiseworthy, meaning if you adopt that
beautification, whether it's in the form of a structure, it is in the form of clothing, it's in the
form of some art or you know, an art piece, whatever it is, it could be praiseworthy, when is it
praiseworthy, when is it good? When it is done for the sake of Allah?
		
00:14:46 --> 00:15:00
			It is done to please Allah subhanahu Atharva Makana Lilla this the gem will this adornment this
beautification, whether it is on our body or it is in our homes or in
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:14
			The city in the country that we're living in, it could be good when it is done for the sake of
Allah. Now the question is what do you mean by doing it for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala? How do
you do this for the sake of Allah to please Allah, when and how?
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:16
			Think about it.
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:56
			So for example, a woman is adorning herself before her husband so good, Mashallah. Very nice.
Because usually women don't do that. When we're going to parties or weddings, that's when we really
adorn ourselves and go to extreme lengths in beautifying ourselves but at home, it's another story.
So if a woman does that for her husband, essentially, I mean, she's doing it in a halal way, the
context is all halal. It's going to inshallah increase in appreciation and love for each other. And
this will strengthen the marriage bond, which will be a source of good for both people, then
inshallah for the sake of Allah Hamdulillah. God, how else
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:47
			so for example, if a masjid is built in a beautiful way, or a masjid, is made to look nice. Why? How
is this for the sake of Allah? Because when people will come and pray in the masjid? Will they feel
good? Yes. Think about it. Any place that you go to? Doesn't that affect you? Like, for example, why
is it that some stores you walk into, and you're like, I have to get something from here. Why?
Because everything just smelled so good. It smelled so good that even when you're passing from
outside, you can smell everything in there. So the atmosphere has an effect on us. When you go to a
masjid that is bright and clean, then what happens? You want to be there. But if it's dark and
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:59
			gloomy and smelly, and stuffy than what happens, you fall asleep? Or you're like, it just feels so
icky. I have to get out of here, isn't it? So? When is it that you can really do such the property?
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:39
			When the carpet fields clean, it smells clean, and it looks clean. But the moment you put your head
on the ground and you're wondering, did a child ever puke over here? Or what happened? You like
seriously, sometimes you get those mounts. So then what can you actually do so do properly? Never.
So having a nice clean carpet, an expensive one maybe that's actually soft and it's easy to set on.
Having nice clean painted walls, having nice bright lights, all of this, Xena, this is for who?
Lilla it is for Allah because it is helping us obey Allah.
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:45
			It is helping us implement Allah's orders.
		
00:17:46 --> 00:18:32
			Advanced technology or like really fancy. And not just fancy, but really advanced buildings and all
such structures, which could be even in Makkah, is that okay? Why not? I mean, when you're doing a
live and you see that clock, it's very, very helpful, isn't it? As opposed to taking out your phone
all the time. And then looking for the time all you have to do no matter where you are in the
huddle, just look up and you know what the time is. Likewise, now these buildings being so close to
the Haram, it makes it easier for you to actually go for to love and worship Allah subhanaw taala
easily. So I mean, of course, things should be in moderation, but this kind of beauty, adornment,
		
00:18:32 --> 00:19:14
			these kinds of advancements, if they are for the right reason for the sake of Allah Lilla helping us
worship Allah helping us obey Allah, then there is nothing wrong with the Zina nothing wrong at all.
In fact, it is praiseworthy. Even if a lot of money has been spent on this, why not? Why not? I
mean, think about this huge expansion that has been done on the HUD home, I am so happy about that.
It's actually making it possible for people to go and do the wife and Umrah you know, like for
example, that that fancy thing that they've put in the actual month off, so that there's two levels
now of doing tawaf, come on. Otherwise, if you didn't find room in the month, you would have to go,
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:59
			you know, upstairs on the upper floors, and it will take three times the amount of time that you
would spend, I mean, it would take so long. So now I'll handle the lights easier. So these
conveniences if there are for the purpose of accommodating more people, if they're for the purpose
of making a better, easier than why not? If you have the money, why not? Isn't it better than
wasting it on other things? So, remember that this kind of Jamal is praiseworthy, another kind of
Jamal. The second type is that which is blameworthy it is Moom meaning it is condemned. Which one
when this Jamal beautification is adopted for the purpose of dunya for the purpose of faith
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:43
			him for showing off to show that yeah, we also have this much money to show that Yeah, even I went
back home and bought all these nice fancy clothes. And I can also dress up in parties with the wrong
intention. This is what this is something that is blameworthy. Thirdly, the third type of Jamal is
that which is neither praiseworthy nor blameworthy, neither of the two objectives are met, meaning a
person is not doing for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala. Nor is he doing it to show off for the
purpose of dunya he's just doing it because he's doing it. And many times we do this, you know, for
example, we will decorate our houses, why not to show off, not so that my house looks good. It's
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:48
			that whenever I walk in, I actually feel grateful to Allah subhanaw taala just we're doing it
because everybody's doing it.
		
00:20:49 --> 00:21:07
			So this is a waste. So what's the main lesson than that anytime any kind of beautification is
adopted, whether in our body or in our homes, in any way, it should be for whose sake for the sake
of Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:55
			what that though he donor, he said, and you take meaning you build for yourselves. maslon Yara
masonicare phalluses. plural of the word must now what is Messina? Fortress? What kind of fortress
in particular that which is built to protect from enemy. Meaning it's so strong that once you hide
in it, you're safe. Also Mothma from Saad no nine sunnah. It's basically manufacturing. So that
which is constructed artistically meaning it's not just a building, it's a balance that actually
looks nice. So you build for yourselves palaces and fortresses. La La Quinta, hello, Dune, so that
you might abide eternally the Hello dune from Hollywood?
		
00:21:57 --> 00:22:19
			Why are you building such houses such palaces? What's the reason? So that you can live forever? Can
you live forever? No, you cannot? Basically he is criticizing them that? Don't you have anything
better to do? What is the purpose of these structures? How are you making them? How are you setting
them up thinking that you will remain in them forever?
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:35
			Because think about it, if there is something that is going to benefit you for one day that you're
going to use for one day? How much money will you invest into it? How much of your time and your
energy will you invest into something that's going to help you for just one day?
		
00:22:36 --> 00:23:22
			Everything you've got no way very little. Now, if something is good for five years, then how much
money are you going to invest into it? A little bit more? Correct. And when something you know it
has a lifetime warranty, for instance, then you're willing to pay hundreds of dollars 1000s of
dollars even why? Because there's lifetime warranty, you're willing to invest your money, you're
willing to invest your time, a lot of yourself into it, because you're gonna get back from it a lot.
He says that you will build your houses as if you're going to live in them forever. Meaning you pay
attention to so much detail. its color, its size, its strength, everything as if these houses are
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:27
			never going to break as if you're never going to die, as if you're going to abide there in forever.
		
00:23:29 --> 00:24:09
			This idea is so frightening. Because if you just look at your own self, at least for myself, when I
read this, I was surprised that how quickly we forget this, how much time and energy and money we
invest into our living spaces, decorating them, and then redecorating them, furnishing them, and
then changing that furniture because we're bored of it, right? And then buying something new because
it just matches what you have already. And then changing something because it just doesn't look nice
anymore. And then most of all, how much time we spend in looking for the right things?
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:51
			How much time and then how much money as if we're going to use those things forever. As if we're
gonna live in these spaces forever. We're not going to live in these living spaces forever. They're
just temporary. So he criticizes them that Who are you trying to impress? Now remember, there is
nothing wrong in building a house. There is nothing wrong in decorating your house. But the
intention should not be to show off. And secondly, it should not consume a person to such an extent
that you don't have time to do what is more important in your life.
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:57
			But sadly, if you think about it, for most adults, what is their concern?
		
00:24:59 --> 00:24:59
			What is their cause?
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:40
			Certain house, either we have to pay off the mortgages or we have to pay off the bills, or we have
to pay off the furniture that we bought on credit. This is what we are being consumed by. So it
should not consume us to such an extent that we don't have time and energy for other things.
Likewise, the intention should be correct. It shouldn't be for the sake of showing off to others,
for the sake of impressing other people. You know, for example, sometimes literally, people will
walk into their houses. Okay, if I were to walk into this house, how would it look? Okay, this wall,
how would it look? Okay, no, no, I have to fix this, I have to fix that we've paid so much attention
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:58
			to detail, especially women, that we leave no corner, no wall, nothing in our house empty, it has to
be filled with something. And then the rest of our time is spent in cleaning that maintaining that,
or making sure that our children don't ruin it.
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:02
			Were we created to worship our houses
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:19
			were we created for that purpose, we were created for whose worship, the worship of Allah subhanaw
taala. And remember that when we fill our houses so much with even artwork, that there's nothing in
the house that is plain,
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:48
			then you get no time to think, I mean, your mind is constantly being engaged. You know, like, for
example, for children, they say just leave them on their own, you don't have to fill their, their
space with toys. You know, for example, a child is sitting in a car seat and a toys dangling. A
child is in the crib, and there's so many toys around and above, everywhere toys, toys, toys, what
do they say leave them, let them be? Let them think on their own even.
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:53
			So likewise, for us, we need some mental space also,
		
00:26:54 --> 00:27:18
			not just houses, but also appearance, we spent so much time like fixing every little thing, like
making sure that there's not even like a little piece of hair on our bodies, or like, not one piece
of hair on our head is like Miss colored or whatever. And it's like we're so obsessive over our
bodies. I mean, to a certain extent, it's fine. But when we become obsessive, then it's a problem.
		
00:27:20 --> 00:28:01
			So Michael, also think of our wedding dresses, like my wedding dress, personally, my mother in law
went back home to get and she spent so much money and time designing. And I told her to get
something simple, but now it's like, it's so nice, but it's so nice. I can't wear it. So like, I
don't want to look like a bride wearing it to another party. So I wish I didn't have that or I just
like borrowed one or I don't know, I wish I could sell it or do something with it. Because it's like
a nest off. And it's not like I'm gonna wear it ever again. And then the problem is that if you
don't get rid of it immediately, five years down, nobody's gonna take it either. Nobody's gonna take
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:05
			it from you why? Because the fashion has changed.
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:08
			So this is often
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:21
			the author Seth Godin, he writes about front lawns. So for example, a huge property that a person
may have, they have their house, but in front of their house is a front lawn.
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:27
			He says that front lawns are organized waste, organized waste,
		
00:28:29 --> 00:29:11
			communicating confidence and a bit of arrogance. Why does he write that? Because he says that these
front lawns, they came from the idea that we have so much money, that we have so much land to spare,
that we don't need to use it for farming, we don't even need to use it for grazing our animals. It's
just extra land, you know, we're so rich. So what people started doing was that they would build
their houses a little far from where their property began, just to show off. So this is the origin
of front lawns. So he says that the reason you have a front lawn is to demonstrate to your friends
and neighbors how much time and energy you are prepared to waste. All right. Now, I'm not saying
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:42
			don't take care of your front lawn. It's there, it's there. But you get the idea that so many things
which have become a part of our lives in reality serve no purpose whatsoever. And what they're doing
essentially, is that they're consuming us consuming our money, our time, our mental energy, mental
capacity. So we don't have the time or the strength to do other things. We really don't. Because
we're so preoccupied with these unnecessary things in our lives that what is more important, we
cannot bother to take care of it.

			A Buddha will deliver a new he said that once I came to the Prophet salallahu Salam and he was
sitting in the shade of the Kaaba, and you were saying, who will act saloon what a Bill carrabba who
will act saloon what a bill car but they are losers by the Lord of the car but they are
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:46
			losers BY THE LORD OF THE garba. Buddha Dilawar and who he thought that maybe the Prophet said a
Lawson was referring to me that I have done something wrong. So he said that I asked myself what is
wrong with me? Is there anything wrong that I've done? Do I look like I've done something wrong? So
then he said that I sat with the Prophet sallallahu sallam, and I couldn't remain quiet because the
prophets Allah wa salam kept repeating himself. So I asked him, that who, who are the losers? May my
mother and father be sacrificed for you? The Prophet salallahu Salam replied, at thoroughness, I'm
Wella. Those who have a lot of wealth, they are losers. They will definitely definitely be losers
		
00:30:46 --> 00:31:32
			who will at Verona ammo Allah Illa, mancala. Hacker, the hacker the hacker, except for the one who
does like this and this and this meaning, the one who gives and gives and gives you see something
very beautiful I heard is that when Allah subhanaw taala gives us money, or things or food,
sometimes it is for the reason off, so that we may pass it on to others, we are like a means that
Allah subhanaw taala is giving it to us so that we can give to others. What happens with us is that
when we got a lot of wealth, whatever form that wealth is in, we think, Oh, I don't need it, store
it.
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:44
			I don't need it. Let me put it away. It can go in the basement, it can go in the garage until I need
it. It can go into spare bedroom, spare bedroom,
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:46
			spare.
		
00:31:47 --> 00:32:28
			So there's so much extra that we have. And we think we have to consume it, we have to use it. This
is why stored save it, do something with it, but don't give it away. And then what happens, we start
complaining, oh, my house is full of stuff. I have too many things. My kids have too many toys, I
have so many clouds. I'm sick and tired of all of this. We are essentially complaining about the
blessings that Allah subhanaw taala has given us what we need to do is take account of what we
really need, and what is it that we should give away to others so that their needs may be fulfilled
also. So whenever something is extra, what is it that we need to do instead of storing it for like
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:30
			five years, 10 years? What should we do?
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:54
			Give it to others? This is what the prophets of Allah Salam said, a Corona and why Allah Who are
they Alok saloon? They're losers, the greatest losers, except for those who give like this and this
and this. Because sometimes we think, Well, I just gave something away. Yes, you just give something
away. Now again, give something away if it's extra, and again, give something away if it's extra,
		
00:32:56 --> 00:33:37
			and the blessings of giving the blessings of sharing, even if a little, of course it's Allah's
promise, that when you are grateful than what will happen, Allah will increase blessings for us. And
increase of blessings is not just in the form of having a lot. It's also in the form of having that
satisfaction. That contentment. This is true Lena, this is true richness that when a person feels
satisfied inside, they're not greedy for more constantly looking. Where can I get more from? How can
I get my hands on more stuff? satisfaction, and this is a result of gratitude. And a form of
gratitude is giving to others what you have with yourself. I want to share a story with your recent
		
00:33:37 --> 00:34:18
			experience. Just last week, my husband went somewhere and they gave out little bottles of zamzam.
Now usually when my husband gets his hands on ZamZam, he loves to bring it home because you know,
it's something that everybody likes. So he brought this little bottle of zamzam. I don't know how
many ounces it was maybe just maybe five ounces, six, seven ounces. Very, very little amount. So
what happened was sitting in our house and a friend of mine came and her son was unwell. So as she
was leaving, I gave it to her. I knew that my husband inshallah he wouldn't mind because he would
like it. So I gave it to her. Now, when my husband came home, he's like, come on, I thought we were
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:41
			drinking, you know, when I cried inshallah doesn't matter. Last week, I met somebody who had just
returned from Ramallah. And they gave me Zanza. All right. Now I took her to my husband. I'm like,
there you go. Drink. Enjoy. Right. And I'm like, You know what, you can drink all of it. It's okay.
I don't know what he did with it, but I gave it all to him. What happened?
		
00:34:42 --> 00:34:54
			A friend of mine messaged me. She said, I have something for you. Like, okay, what is it? She said,
I'll bring it like okay. I couldn't meet her where I was supposed to meet her. So she gave it to my
family.
		
00:34:55 --> 00:34:59
			So when I got home, I see a huge can of this
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:00
			Sam Zell
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:05
			literally, I mean this big alright, this big.
		
00:35:07 --> 00:35:11
			I was shocked how it started with a few ounces
		
00:35:12 --> 00:35:17
			and how much more it became. And now I'm thinking what am I supposed to do with this emza
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:26
			start giving it away I wanted to bring some for you guys but then everybody will get maybe half a
SIP because there isn't much left.
		
00:35:27 --> 00:35:30
			There will be Baraka inshallah I will bring some tomorrow inshallah.
		
00:35:31 --> 00:35:43
			So, anyway, this is just an example, that when we get something from Allah subhanaw taala, instead
of warding it and saying that all Muslims and for me this brace that I'm going to wear it, I'm going
to keep it
		
00:35:45 --> 00:36:00
			think about others also. Think about others also and Allah will amaze you. You're not going to have
less if you share what you have with others never ever will you have less and when a person becomes
greedy, then there is no limit to that greed
