Sora Tolman Alfie Kohn

00:00:07--> 00:00:57

sudo Moon Alfie Kohn is a Madani Surah as we can see from the name of the Surah it talks about the people with NIF Ark, the people with hypocrisy. And remember that hypocrisy was something that was unknown in Makkah. When the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam was in Makkah, it was only somebody who really, truly believed that would accept Islam openly also, because believing meant taking up a lot of opposition. So, in Makkah, you could say that the Islam of people was very sincere. But in Medina very soon, things became easier. It was like the in thing to become Muslim in the city of Medina, because so many important people were accepting Islam. And then, with better victory after

00:00:57--> 00:01:38

victory, it was again easier to accept Islam. So remember that NIFA was a Madani phenomenon. So Supermoon Alfie Kohn is a Madani Surah even our best wrote the Lahore annual reported that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used to recite pseudo Jamara and Solothurn Munna Alfie Kohn during the Friday prayer. These two solos he would recite them when, in the Friday prayer, remember that the way of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was such that his Holtville would be short and his prayer would be long. Unfortunately, it's the exact opposite today. What was a very long and the prayer is extremely short. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam recited the sutras in salatu.

00:01:38--> 00:02:30

Jumeirah why these two sutras remember Jamara public gathering? Right Jimmer so, so many people have assembled why sutra tomorrow, because it was a reminder of the importance and etiquette of the Friday prayer, as well as some very powerful reminders are given into tomorrow. And why sort of Moon African? Because this sort of reminds us of the seriousness of hypocrisy, that how evil it is. And it is something that we all need to constantly reflect upon. Because Nipah can come in, you know, very quietly, you see, hidden *, hidden *, what is that the corruption of the intention? Right? And how does it creep in? How subtle is it it is like a black end on a dark rock in a dark

00:02:30--> 00:03:03

night. Just imagine how subtle and hidden it is. And this is how nofap is. So it is necessary that certain Moon Alfie Kohn is not just recited once, but over and over to remind ourselves of the seriousness of this crime. We see that in this group of Madani sorrows, sorrow to surf and sort of Jumeirah, all of these Madani sorrows this group, Allah subhanaw taala addresses the believers, isn't it? The yeah are you Alladhina amanu Lima tokoto Kulu Murata for

00:03:04--> 00:04:01

the believers are being addressed. And in the sutras, our deficiencies are being pointed out. Why? So that we can recognize them? We can identify them, we can see them because only once we identify our deficiencies, can we work on them? Can we improve ourselves? We see that Amen. Amen. It creates unity so total Jamara Jimmer every week people come together Eman creates unity intro to soft also we learned that in hola you Hibou Latina ukata Luna visa vie soft Franca and the whole banana muscles banana muscles, this is unity. How does Iman create unity between words and actions between people also because the goal of Eman is though hate knee Phalke On the contrary, what does that

00:04:01--> 00:04:34

create disunity between words and actions between people also, because the goal the objective of nofap is what the ego a person is following his ego he is satisfying his ego and that is the worst false God as a Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that false god that is worshipped is what? Howa is the desire so do Maura Soto Jumeirah, Jumeirah, the Friday prayer it leads to Jamar and NIFA leads to division and this is what we will see in this surah.

00:04:35--> 00:04:46

Now pseudoalteromonas Raccoon it was revealed on the return journey from Gaza Moray seer, which is also known as Gaza Binomo Starlock.

00:04:48--> 00:05:00

The banal masala a tribe they lived by a pond named Maurice here, so this is why it's known as one with a seer as well as well, but almost a luck because the tribal one musta luck they live

00:05:00--> 00:05:21

lived near what? A pond known as build a seer. And this pond was located somewhere between Makkah and Medina, the bundle musta luck. They were the allies of the people of Makkah. All right. And they had also helped the Moroccans against the Muslims in the Battle of Ohio.

00:05:22--> 00:06:08

All right, so they were allies, and they had assisted the Mushrikeen of Makkah against the Muslims, in which battle in the Battle of earth and we see that their presence, their location also gave the McCanns safety All right outside of the city of Makkah in the sense that it helped them come closer to Medina. All right, in order to launch an offensive in order to harm the Muslims because they had their allies been musta luck. Macau was far from Medina but but animals Talaq were somewhat closer to Medina. All right. And then we see that at this time the bundle was set up, we're also preparing an offensive against the Muslims in Medina. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam when he heard

00:06:08--> 00:06:58

about this, he sent somebody to investigate and to confirm whether the button was to Lahore planning an attack or not. And once the news was confirmed, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam decided to take the Muslims and launch a sudden attack on the venomous Tallac All right, so 700 Muslims went along. And amongst them, or rather, someone who went along with the 700 Muslims was also Abdullah even obey. Who was he? The chief hypocrite? Why did he go along? Because this was a very easy victory. The bundle masala were not prepared. They were not expecting an attack from the Muslims. All right. So this would be a very easy victory. The journey was not long, the enemy was somewhat

00:06:58--> 00:07:26

smaller. So the Munna Philippine also went along. Now what happened? The Muslims, they were victorious in this launch, and as they were returning certain incidents happened. What happened is that on the way back to Medina, there were two youths, one happened to be from the unsought. And one happened to be from the MaHA Joon they had an argument.

00:07:27--> 00:07:33

All right, and in this argument, the unsavoury use said oh, I'm sorry, come and help me.

00:07:34--> 00:08:16

And the Mohammed youth, he said, Omaha, Jerome, come and help me. You see what's happening over here, division, the mohajir and the Assad were together. They were one people. They were one family. They were brothers. Correct. But what happened in this fight is that the mohajir is saying, Come help me to his folk and the Saudi is saying Come help me to his folk. So what happened when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. learned about this because this argument turned very violent, and people were ready to take up weapons against each other. When the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam found out he came and he resolved the matter. And he said, Man ballew dar will gently Yeah.

00:08:16--> 00:09:01

What is this call of Jamelia? Why are you saying, Oh, I'm sorry, come and help me, Omaha. Jerome, come and help me. This is the call of Jerry Lee. This is in a way racism. What are you doing? He said the rule have for inna Montina leave it because it is stinky. Montina is something that stinky that's so bad that it smells you don't want to go near it. He said Don't say these things. So what happened? The inside of them hygiene were back to normal. Everything was cool. But Abdullah bin obey was not happy with this. Because he did not like them. Oh, hygiene, right. Because since they had come things had changed of the love and obey he was supposed to be crowned as the king of the city

00:09:01--> 00:09:40

of yesterday. And what happened? Islam came and now there was no of the Lebbon obey, becoming a king. It was the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam who became the leader. So Abdullah bin obey was not happy with that. Right? So when he saw this slight division of hearts, he wanted to take advantage of it. So what happened our beloved obey was sitting amongst his friends, like minded individuals. And he said certain things that were very inappropriate about them or hide your own. And also about the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Things such as why you know that the example of these people is like that of a dog

00:09:41--> 00:09:44

that you feed the dog and then it attacks you.

00:09:46--> 00:09:59

So basically, what he was implying was that we have been helping them Oh Ha Joon, We accommodated them in our homes. And here they are ruling us. That doesn't make sense. And then he said things like, you know what we should stop. So

00:10:00--> 00:10:40

bending on them on the MaHA Jiun. And eventually they'll go away. And then he went on and on saying that, you know, I am the one who is more honorable, and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is not when we go to Medina, we'll see who is it that stays in Medina. So he said such things which were very inappropriate. And there was a boy who heard all of this conversation. His name was eighth. They had been accom when he heard that he went to the prophets of Allah who already was salam, and he informed him that this is what our beloved obey said. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he called Abdullah bin obey. Did you say this? And Abdullah ibn obey, refused, he denied?

00:10:41--> 00:10:49

He said, No, I didn't say anything like this. So now Zaid, he was seen as a liar. You understand as a child who is inventing things.

00:10:51--> 00:11:09

Now what happened? Our beloved obey was very upset, and they are the Allahu anhu, the little Sahaba he was even more upset. Alright, so but he knew that Allah subhanaw taala will clarify his position. And so these verses were revealed. These verses were revealed.

00:11:10--> 00:12:03

Showing Who exactly are the Levin obey was? He wasn't a believer as he portrayed himself. In fact, he was a hypocrite inside out. So these verses exposed the hypocrites. So let's look at these verses Bismillah AR Rahman Rahim, either jackal Munna Khun when the hypocrites come to you, although they say Nash hurdle we testify in Nicola rasool Allah. Indeed you are Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam are surely the Messenger of Allah. The hypocrites justify and they say We bear witness that you Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam or the Messenger of Allah. Allah says, that will Allahu Ya Allah.

00:12:04--> 00:12:31

Allah knows already in Nicola rasuluh, that indeed you are His Messenger, meaning the testimony of the hypocrites is not needed. Their statements, what they say is not needed because Allah already knows what Allahu Yash hurdle. However, Allah testifies that in Melbourne africaine that indeed the hypocrites locale the bone surely they're liars, Allahu Akbar.

00:12:32--> 00:13:02

Here is a person coming to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam saying, apparently such a big statement, Nash huddle in Nicola rasuluh and Allah says, You don't need to tell us that. Allah already knows. However, Allah he has heard who Allah testifies that in an Munna, Filipina, loca, the moon, that indeed the hypocrites are lying. They're lying. Yes. How? Because they don't mean what they say.

00:13:03--> 00:13:32

They say with their mouths that they believe, but do they really believe? No, they do not. It's just lip service. It's just verbal statements. They don't really mean them. Even though the statement which they utter is true, because the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is indeed the Messenger of Allah. Right? Allah is the One who sent the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So the statement in Nicola rasuluh. Yes, it is correct. It is true.

00:13:33--> 00:13:58

But the hypocrite saying Nash huddle in Nikola solo, this statement is false. Their statement is a lie, because they don't mean what they say. So Allah subhanaw taala does not accept this statement from them. What does this show to us that in the middle are Merleau Binda, yet, actions are truly judged by what by their intention.

00:13:59--> 00:14:26

A person could be uttering a statement of Schick a statement of cover, but if he doesn't mean it from his heart, and he is being forced to say it, and if he doesn't say it, his life is in danger. Like what happened with Mr. Vinyasa or the Allahu Anhu right that he finally had to say a statement of offer in order to save himself. So that statement was not counted, because his intention was not to pronounce Kafir.

00:14:27--> 00:14:46

And here we see, one of the most truest statement that in Nikola rasuluh when the moon African said, they say it with dishonesty, Allah does not accept it. What does this mean then? It's not about what we say. It's about what we believe. And what we do.

00:14:47--> 00:14:59

Saying is easy. Talking is easy. It seems very difficult, but actually it's very easy. What is really difficult is honesty. That

00:15:00--> 00:15:03

person truly believes in what he is uttering

00:15:04--> 00:15:28

that a person is saying from his heart, what he is pronouncing from his mouth, that a person is showing with his actions doing in his actions, what he is saying from his mouth. So the moon Alfie Kohn, they are accused of lying over here, and this is their Nipah. This is their hypocrisy, that from their mouths, they say that they believe but in their hearts, they conceal disbelief.

00:15:29--> 00:16:19

And what's amazing over here is that they're swearing oaths, Nash hadoo, Nash hadoo. And Allah does not accept it at all. So we could say, very big statements, very powerful statements. But those statements are worthless, worthless, they don't carry any weight near Allah. If those statements are not backed up with action and sincerity, then there are hollow and empty words, we see that the way off the munafo Clean was indeed this that every time they would come to the Prophet sallallahu, alayhi wasallam. They would remind him, and they would try to assure him that we believe we believe when they would go to the Muslims, again, they would say I'm an Amana. The thing is that if a person

00:16:19--> 00:17:03

believes he doesn't need to keep saying, I believe, I believe, I mean, it's understood you believe Yeah, I heard you last time also when you said that, but why does a person need to say again and again and again, because he knows that the other person doesn't believe him. So he wants to assure with his words. So there's a sense of guilt in the heart. Right? There's a sense of guilt in the heart. So he keeps saying with his mouth, I assure you, I assure you, as Allah says, In the Quran, you hide your own Allah azza wa jal ladina. Manu, they try to deceive Allah and those who believe. But who are they actually deceiving? themselves? Similar? Salam Alaikum I know when sister tamer she

00:17:03--> 00:17:45

said that statement you say it's not enough you have to say it from your heart also, I know the sister before it in 10 of Ashraf our love will hate her mom. She doesn't have money in back home and she said I will send you some money and she doesn't have much and her mom She said you don't have much money but and she said no Allah Karim and Allah subhanho wa taala. If you have dawah he gives you from place you don't expect it. She said this word. After one week, Allah subhanho wa Taala he gave her $15,000 And I was so surprised. Subhanallah how this happened. If you have the word if you say it from your heart, if you Nia is clear, Allah subhanho wa Taala will help you Yes, if you

00:17:45--> 00:17:59

honestly say something while believing in Allah, Allah will make that statement come true. And if a person is lying, saying a big statement with dishonesty, then that lie will be exposed sooner or later

00:18:00--> 00:18:40

on the lecture on Thursday, by Sheikh Khalid with Sunni, he was saying that when you make dua, you should have like your pain in your DUA and you should start acting on the DUA. So it shows your your clean because when you have that sincerity and that level that almost at all will make it easier for you. Yes, actions are by intentions, right? So from the Sunnah, we learned that the hypocrites they would come repeatedly to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam swear oaths before him. You know, every time they did something wrong, every time their guilt was exposed, they would come and try to assure the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam with their mouths, that they were believers. In fact,

00:18:40--> 00:19:22

we learned that our beloved obey at the beginning remember he embraced Islam. Why? Because everybody around him was embracing Islam. And if he didn't, he would appear to be someone who's standing up against the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. So anyway, he embraced Islam outwardly. And Jumeirah Friday, when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would come to give the hotbar our beloved obey would stand up in his spot, and he would address the people. And he would say things like, the Prophet of Allah has come, so all people believe in Him and follow Him. And on and on and on. He would say such things, and then finally he would sit down. So when, after the Battle of Ohio,

00:19:23--> 00:19:59

remember what happened at a hood, or the Levin obey, he left the Muslims, right? And he came back to Medina, with his people. So after in Jamal, when he stood up, in order to start his speech, again, people forced him to sit down. We don't want to hear it from you. We don't want to hear it from you. We know who you are. And from this point onwards, his new book was exposed. But he continued in this way, that every time he did something wrong, he would come to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam and say, Nash hadoo in Nicola rasool Allah

00:20:00--> 00:20:54

Allah revealed this ayah well Allah Who ya allah mu in Nakamura Zulu wala who Yeshua do in and Munna Athena, look at the moon in total fat is 28 Allah's pound artist has worker Fabula he Shahida that Allah is sufficient as a witness. This is with regards to what the ayah that Muhammad Rasul Allah. That Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam is the messenger of Allah. It the hadoo they have taken a man at home their oats Jonathan as a shield. A man is a plural of Yameen and Juna Jean no known Jana is too high to cover something and the word juna is used for a shield because it hides you it covers you. So they have taken their oath as a shield. Meaning they use lies to convince others and lies to

00:20:54--> 00:21:05

shield themselves. I mean think about it when someone swears an oath before you how can you reject them? Like for example if you ask somebody did you do this? And they said no Allah He I didn't do it.

00:21:06--> 00:21:09

What are you gonna say? Well Allah He you did it.

00:21:10--> 00:21:58

If you say well Allah He they'll say no, Allahu Allah He I didn't do it. Right. I mean, what are you going to say? So in this situation, when our beloved obey point blank refused that I didn't say anything like that, ze this little kid is lying. What do you do? Can you take any action against a person who's lying? How can you? So it Taha do a mana home Jonathan, they have taken their oath as a shield? They silenced the truthful with their false oaths. Mean Zed, he was truthful, but he was silenced over here. Why? Because Abdullah, what did he do? He took an oath. So they would use oaths, to say that they are Muslim. Right? There were hidden enemies, they conceal their cover, but on the

00:21:58--> 00:22:43

outward they used their oaths to protect themselves. You see, someone who outwardly says I don't believe and then they take some action against the Muslims. Can you take an action against them? Yeah, of course. Think of the zero. A person like somebody from Makkah. Right, a mushrik coming against the Muslims in a battle. Is there any doubt that their enemy? No there isn't. Can the Muslims take any action against them? Yes, they can. And they did. But a man like our beloved obey someone who is, you know, attacking the Muslims from the inside, disrespecting the prophets of Allah who already was alum, opposing him while he's supposed to be from the Muslims. If he goes against

00:22:43--> 00:23:29

the Muslims, what action could the Muslims take against him? How often did remodelled Allahu Anhu asked the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam permission, please allow me to get rid of this man, didn't he? But what did the Prophet sallallahu wasallam say to him? No, no, because otherwise people will say that Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam killed his own men. He killed his own people. So this is the thing it da do a man who do nuttin they have taken their oaths as a shield. And remember that the statement that our beloved will be uttered over here about the Muslims about the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam. This was a statement that made him punishable. But he protected himself

00:23:29--> 00:24:18

from the punishment. Right he took his oath as a shield against the punishment. We learn in Surah Toba is 62 that he actually found a villa Hilah calm Laolu calm, they swear oaths by Allah in order to please you, in order to satisfy you, in order to Toba if 56 Allah says wakley fauna Billahi in the home lemon comb, this were oaths by Allah that there shortly from you were my home income, they're not actually from among you. What are Kingdom Omonia for Akun? So it took her do a mana who do nuttin for subdue? Ansible Allah. So as a result, they stop people from the way of Allah. What does this mean? How do they stop people from the way of Allah, they lead by a bad example? They lead

00:24:18--> 00:24:28

by a bad example. You know, if you ever do something wrong, why is it that that wrong action became easy for you? Because you saw somebody else do it?

00:24:29--> 00:24:53

A bad word. Why is it easy for you to say it? Because you've heard so many people say it around you? You've heard so many people saying it on TV, that now for you to repeat the same thing. It's not a big deal. That same word that bothered you as a kid, or that same word that bothered you. Have you ever seen the reaction of children when they hear a bad word? Right? It's amazing.

00:24:54--> 00:25:00

You know, the other day I heard a kid saying S word. Right? S word is for soup.

00:25:00--> 00:25:06

it, right? Because it's such a bad word that I'm not going to say it. But I want to say it so S word.

00:25:08--> 00:25:39

All right. I was like, this is a kid. And now what happens to the same kids as they grow older, everything becomes stupid, right? They say it over and over and over again. It's not a big deal. So for subdue, Ansible, Allah, when these people lie, and they use all tools, they lie so, so openly, then what happens? They are preventing people from the way of Allah. They're leading by such a bad example.

00:25:40--> 00:26:22

In the home, sir Americana Yama, Lune. Indeed, it is evil. What they're doing whatever they're doing is evil. I mean, think about it, the mafia clean. They would stop people from the way of Allah. Like, for example, they would say, don't spend on the Muslims. They would say, don't go out in the way of Allah. Don't participate in this jihad. Don't listen to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, they would make fun of the Quran, they would conspire against the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. Now, if there is someone who claims to be a Muslim, and they are attacking the laws of Islam, they are attacking the Quran, they are speaking up against Muslims. They are opposing the

00:26:22--> 00:26:31

Shah of Islam, things like the hijab, alright things like the norms that that Muslims observe if they are opposing them. What can you say to such a person?

00:26:33--> 00:26:34

What are you going to say?

00:26:35--> 00:27:15

For subdue? I'm Sabina Allah, the stop people from the way of Allah intro to Lhasa 18. Allah says Khodiyar anomala. Whom are we Keenum income? We'll call illegally who Annie him Halima Elena, that Allah no such people who stop others from the way of Allah they say come back to us don't go out in the way of Allah in the home set. Amma CAN WE ARE Malone, their actions are evil. Yes. It's like their lives have become so bad that the only way people can even listen to them as if they have to swear by it. If any other person said, You know what, I didn't say this, you would believe them because you believe them to be an honest, truthful person. But they have to use oats because they

00:27:15--> 00:27:35

know that nobody is going to take their statements, you know, at face value anymore. Exactly. You know, the truthful person, their words have weight, they're believable, isn't it? Even if they say something in the most simple words, their statements are accepted, but a person was a habitual liar, then their simple words don't work, they have to come up with more emphatic statements.

00:27:36--> 00:28:10

So I'm gonna come just to a couple of things that I want to say just for raising our kids in the society. When I was younger, my mom and my grandmother they always would tell me this folk story about how there was a gentleman who was just very well mannered and very nice. And they would always ask him how to learn how to you know how to do these things. And they would say he would say that I would see people doing the opposite. So what do the opposite so if you see somebody doing something bad, do the opposite and not don't learn from the things that they're doing? Don't learn from the bad but do the opposite. So that way, you know your manners and so on, so forth are better. Yes.

00:28:11--> 00:28:57

Allah says Valley can be unknown. That is because they Amanu initially they believed that Delica they're hypocrites Allah subhanaw taala called them Munna cone. I mean, this is so frightening. Either Jheri curl Munna cone, when the hypocrites come to you. It's not just people who have a little bit of luck or people who have some Murata in their hearts. No, it's my nephew cone. Why does Allah subhanaw taala describe them as one Alfie Kohn, who stopped people from the way of Allah? How, why? Because they are Manu, they believed with their mouths, some maca photo, and then they disbelieved with their actions. For tobira. Then it was sealed. Isla Kulu became upon their hearts,

00:28:58--> 00:29:02

for whom lie of a home, and so they do not understand.

00:29:03--> 00:29:07

How did they become an African? What happened? They believed initially.

00:29:09--> 00:29:34

With their mouths, they said, we believe, but then Cafaro they disbelieved how with their actions. And when they contradicted their words, what happened when they did something so horrible the first time, then there was a second time and a third time and a fourth time. So what happened will be our ll kuruva. Him, the heart became sealed desensitized.

00:29:35--> 00:29:44

And then a person just gets worse and worse. You know, for example, cheating or lying the first time is difficult.

00:29:45--> 00:29:59

But then when a person survives, then he tries again, and then he tries again. And it just comes to a point where he doesn't even feel bad about it. He doesn't, so that he can be unknown, Amano sama Cafaro

00:30:00--> 00:30:32

For two br Kolbe him and now that the heart is sealed lay of the moon they don't even understand their foolishness, the severity of what they're doing. In surah nisa 155 Allah says bultaco Allahu alayhi Kufri him Fela, yo, Mina Illa kalila. Allah has sealed their hearts because of their disbelief. So they do not believe except a little. You see, when the heart is sealed than a person cannot distinguish between good and evil, he cannot understand the obvious even mean, is there any doubt that lying is bad?

00:30:33--> 00:30:49

And taking an oath, while offering a false statement? Is there any doubt that this is something that's wrong? Isn't that something that's universal moral, you could say or value, that lying is wrong. But what makes it so easy because the heart is sealed.

00:30:50--> 00:31:30

Just like lying, there's other sins that we fall into that we don't even realize our bad until, I don't know, there's something like this that comes up and we realize that we've been doing something wrong. And I've noticed that, like romantic books and stuff like that are a big issue for people nowadays. Like Muslim girls, especially, like it starts off at a young age, you read a book or something that mentions like a crush, or like, like a hug, or kiss or something like that. And then it just gets worse from there. And then you'll find Muslim girls reading such vulgar books, and they don't even like they're not like they're desensitized, to the how bad they are. But the thing is,

00:31:30--> 00:31:36

that we have to realize that these are wrong, you know. And this is true with regards to every single thing.

00:31:37--> 00:32:03

You know, whenever my kids are watching TV or something, I make a point that, you know, initially when some song comes up, right, for the cartoon show, it's just a song, but there's a whole lot of music in it. So I remind them again and again, put the volume down when the song is over, then you can put the volume up, because it starts like this. You know, we become so desensitized to it that we don't even feel that there is anything wrong. We don't even realize it.

00:32:05--> 00:32:39

There's a concept in psychology cognitive dissonance, and what it basically is that you believe something in your mind or your heart but your actions are doing something opposite and so you have a contradiction within yourself where your mind is telling you oh you believe this but then why are you doing this? And so eventually one or the other wins out either your mind overpowers your action and says no, this is wrong you're like I mean if you don't believe in this and why would you be doing this? But if your action is stronger, like there's more motivation from that side, then you actually convince your thoughts the other way you justify it to yourself. Salaam Alaikum I was gonna
