			Are the below him in a shape line of a jean Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim verse number 60 sudo to
baccala y e this test, Musa li call me he for could not breathe better Assad can hedgehog and recall
when Musa has said and prayed for water for his people. So we said strike with your staff the stone
phone for Gillette men whose letter I shot arena and their gushed forth from it 12 springs, and now
that there were 12 Springs for their Idema could not own Esin Masaba home, every people knew it's
watering place, the bunny is slightly over told Kulu a shovel may risk Allah eat and drink from the
provision of Allah when at Arthel fill up the obsidian and do not commit abuse on the earth
		
00:00:51 --> 00:01:33
			spreading corruption. Now in the previous IO, we learned about how the money is thought you were
told to enter a particular city and they were told to enter with humility and to seek the
forgiveness of Allah subhana wa Tada. But they did so in a complete opposite fashion. They did so
arrogantly sliding on their behind and changing the words that they were taught. So, you will notice
that the incidents that are mentioned over here, they are not mentioned in a chronological order,
okay, these incidents are not mentioned in a chronological order. rather different incidents are
mentioned, you know, from different times from different periods of the history of Bani Israel. And
		
00:01:33 --> 00:02:18
			the purpose over here is to not give is to not teach history, but to remind the Bani Israel of the
favours of Allah so that they become more humble, they become more grateful, and they believe in the
messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So when is it that Musa alayhis salaam prayed for
water for his people, we learned that this happened after the bunny is sawed you crossed the sea.
Because remember, when they crossed the sea, now there were in the desert, they didn't exactly have
anything with them. And if they did bring any supplies, now is the time that they're running out of
those supplies. So then, when they're in the desert, they're in need of water, Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:02:18 --> 00:03:05
			bestowed this special favor upon them, that they were given, not just money and Sunhwa food, and not
just the cloud that provided them shade shelter, but they were also given fresh water to drink. And
this is of the many favors of Allah upon them. So in the Bible, we learned that in Exodus chapter
15, verses 22 to 27, that one moosari The Santa took them across the sea. It says the Moses caused
Israel meaning the children of Israel to set out from the Sea of Reeds, meaning the Red Sea, they
went on into the wilderness of shoot, they traveled three days in the wilderness and found no water.
They came to Mara, but they could not drink the water of Morocco because it was bitter. So that is
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:52
			why that place was called Amana. And the people grumbled against Moses saying, What shall we drink?
So he cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a piece of wood. That's what the Bible says, He
threw it into the water and the water became sweet. So there he made for them a fixed rule. And
there, he put them to the test. He said, If you will heed the Lord your God diligently doing what is
upright in his sight, giving air to His commandments, and keeping all his laws, that I will not
bring upon you any of the diseases that I brought upon the Egyptians, and they came to a lien where
there were 12 springs of water, and also many palm trees, and they encamped there beside the water.
		
00:03:53 --> 00:04:36
			So there's two incidents mentioned in the Bible. One is that they came upon a place where there was
bitter water and Mozart is through a stick and the water turned sweet, you know, people were able to
drink it, and that later on, they came upon a place and they settled over there and there were 12
streets. The Quran correct this, the Quran tells us that no, Musa alayhis salam did not just throw
any stick, and he didn't just throw it in bitter water. It's possible that that was a separate
incident that also happened. But the Quran teaches us that this was a miracle that was granted to
Masada, his sunnah. And this miracle was especially given for the benefit of Bani Israel so that
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:59
			they would have fresh water to drink. And the Bible also mentions 12 springs of water and the Quran
also mentions federal Tamil was letter are shorter in and these were not just random strings of
water, these springs of water came about as a miracle as a blessing as a special favor of Allah upon
the Bani Israel. So what is this our Musa live
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:49
			Call me here and we see over here, the kindness of Musa alayhis salam, the love that was already in
the SAM head for his people that he was a concerned leader that he didn't just say figure it out
yourselves know he prayed to Allah azza wa jal he asked Allah azza wa jal Vidya Allah grant water to
my people and what happened for coin not breed bear Sokal hedgehog Musa listen I prayed at his door
I was answered right away, Allah subhanaw taala said, that strike the stone with your staff. Now
which staff is this, this is not just any piece of wood, this is our soft cup, your staff, your
stick, and remember that this is the same stick that you know turned into a snake and frightened
		
00:05:50 --> 00:06:41
			will start a sound the first time that he saw that and eventually he was supposed to perform that
miracles in the core to fit our own. And this is the same staff that turned into a snake and
swallowed the magic of the magicians. This is the same staff that parted the sea. And now when
Husein is said I'm struck the stone with it 12 Springs gushed forth. So remember that it is not the
staff the stick that had some power in it. No, it is the miracle that Allah subhanaw taala cause to
occur. And this is so amazing, that you know, it's just a stone that is dry, that is hard. And when
most artists have strikes it with the staff 12 Springs gush out, not just one or two springs, 12
		
00:06:41 --> 00:07:34
			springs, Allahu Akbar. So for root beer of socket hudgell. Now, one thing that's interesting over
here is that Musa alayhis salam had to strike the stone, right, he was told to do something for his
people. And this teaches a very important lesson that as leaders, and also you know, as people, yes,
we ask Allah subhanaw taala but prayer does not mean inaction. When you're making dua. That does not
mean that now you don't have to do anything else. Dora is with action. So Busan is Salam. He made
Dora and it's not that you know, water is being automatically we know it's caused to gush forth from
random places no Musa design is told to do something. Money on right when she was in the midst of
		
00:07:34 --> 00:08:26
			you know, her pains when she's giving birth. She is told insulates money. Am I 25 We learned well,
who's Z Leakey big enough naughty. She is told to shake the tree, right to shake the dead palm to
circuit or like Europa geneia and fresh ripe dates will fall down on you. dates were not brought to
her on a platter. No she was supposed to shake the tree and get the dates. We learn about a YouTube
early is Samantha when he was sick and he made dua to Allah for healing in sort of sod I have 42 He
is told on coop village Lika that you should strike the ground with your foot. And when he did that,
Allah subhanaw taala caused a spring to gush forth and that water a Uberti Sudan was supposed to use
		
00:08:26 --> 00:09:12
			that to wash himself and also to drink. So this is the way of Allah that Allah subhanaw taala will
answer your door us but the answering of your laurels does not mean that you will have to do
nothing. relying upon Allah depending on Allah does not mean inaction. You make dua, Allah subhanaw
taala will show you the way. And now you have to do something about it. So Mussolini's Sudan, he's
told it would be our socket hijo. Allah subhanaw taala could have provided water without Husein
instead of having to do anything. But that's not the way of Allah for cleaning up rebel circle hijo.
And this does not diminish the power of drop, not at all. Dora in and of itself is very powerful.
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:57
			Right? So for example, we learned about how the prophets of Allah who already has sent him when he
made God and one occasion he just said, Allah who must be now Allah Who Messina Oh ALLAH provide us
water, oh Allah provide us water. And Hadees we know that there was no trace of any cloud in the
sky, and suddenly the sky was filled with clouds, and there was so much rain that it fell for an
entire week. So there are does not mean inaction and at the same time, action does not mean that you
are diminishing the power of Dora. Dora itself is powerful, and we call upon Allah and we also do
what Allah subhanaw taala tells us to do. We also have to use the means that Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			has provided. So the main thing
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:48
			Is that making or does not mean that now you just sit and do nothing? Okay? Fun Phaedra Minho,
snetor are shorter IMEA So Musa Hassan struck the stone and what happened 12 Springs gushed forth.
Now why 12 springs, because like I mentioned there were 12 asbel or 12 tribes of Bani Israel, you
and this division was extremely important so that people would not end up quarreling and fighting
with one another. Because you know that, especially when people are thirsty, and there are large
crowds, and resources are limited, then, you know, it's very easy for people, you know, to start
quarreling and fighting. And sometimes people, you know, such fights, they get out of control, and
		
00:10:48 --> 00:11:35
			there's loss of life even. And you also know that sharing can be hard, right? Especially when
there's so many people. So this was a huge blessing of Allah upon them, that there were 12 springs,
not 10, not five, that they had to share for 12 springs, so called the Alima, coolant onesie Masaba
home, and each group of people knew their place of drinking in each tribe knew which spring they
were supposed to access. Now we learn in the Quran about the story of Sonic and a setup that, you
know, when his people demanded a miracle from him, because they demanded that a she camel should
just come out from the rocks. And that miracle was fulfilled, it happened, but then they were tested
		
00:11:35 --> 00:12:22
			through that vehicle as well. So they were told, we learned in school of commerce, I had 28 that
when a beat home and Alma Akismet on Boehner home Kulu she'll be marketable. That informed them that
the water is shared between them, between who between them and that she candle each day of drink,
attended by turn. So one day, it was the turn of the she camel to drink. Okay. And the other day,
the next day, it was the turn of the people you know, they could bring their animals etc. To drink.
We don't sweat the short I have 155 on ahead he Napa to Lucha shippon one a commissionable yum
embargo, that this is a she camel, you asked for it, here's the miracle that you demand it. And for
		
00:12:22 --> 00:13:12
			her is a time of drink. And for you is a type of drink each on unknown day. So same pattern we see
over here with the Bani Assad in that there is division, there's clarity, so that you know there is
no fighting, there's no shortage of resources. So this is why the Idema cooler or nasty Michelob
every group of people knew their drinking place. And this shows that, especially when there is a
whole lot of people, there needs to be organization, there needs to be clarity. And people don't
know who to ask what and where to access different things from then there's chaos. So this division,
this organization is incredibly important in large groups, called a washable Medus. In that they
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:53
			were told eat and drink from the provision of Allah feeds what the men and Sunhwa and drink meaning
the water of the springs myth, this pillar, all of this is provision of Allah which has come to you
without any effort, without any difficulty on your part, this is purely blessing of Allah, one that
are thankful of the move, sit in and do not commit abuse on the earth. Because if you commit abuse
on the earth, and you would be the ones who are spreading corruption, so do not do that. Now the
question is, how could they be wreaking havoc? How could they be committing abuse, spreading
corruption, when they're in the desert, right? When they're in the desert, they're not really
		
00:13:53 --> 00:14:39
			interacting with other people, there aren't many worldly resources available to them. And this shows
us something very important that, you know, like the Prophet salallahu Alaihe, Salam told us that
when you're making we'll do even if you're making water from the water of a river, only use as much
as you need. Right? Which is why, you know, when we're making we'll do the maximum that we should
wash ourselves, the maximum number of times is three, right? You're washing your face three times,
you're washing your arm three times not more than that, minimum one and maximum three. So even if
there are abundant resources available to us, remember that if we become wasteful, then we will
		
00:14:39 --> 00:15:00
			cause corruption. Because sometimes we think that you know, just because we can afford certain
things, then we can do whatever we want. And it's high time that we become careful about how we are
using the resources that almost panel Tata has given. You know, for example, a few years ago, there
was this height of
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:44
			about, you know, you're not using plastic straws. And finally, there are places that will give you
paper straws or something alternative or not just give you straws, just like that. They will only
give it to you if you ask for them. Why? Because there were those videos of turtles in whose noses
you know, there's plastic straws that are stuck, you know, switching to non plastic straws is not
solving the problem, there are still a lot of garbage that we are producing. You know, recently I
was reading somewhere about how now what is really polluting the oceans, especially beaches is
plastic containers, takeout boxes, especially in last year and a half because restaurants are
		
00:15:44 --> 00:16:33
			closed, people are taking food home, in want in plastic boxes. So just because we can afford these
things, and just because they're you know, easily available to us, it doesn't mean that we use the
resources irresponsibly. Anybody is like you are in a desert. They're given month, Salwa and water,
simple things, basic things. And they're also told do not cause corruption on the earth. And we
really need to look at ourselves how we shop for, you know, single use plastics just so that we
don't have to wash dishes, we will use plastic plates, plastic cutlery, plastic cups, and throw
things just because we have a garbage truck coming up every week. Any be responsible. Pay attention
		
00:16:33 --> 00:17:15
			to these things. When a thorough thorough fill or the move sit in. And you know, we clean our
kitchen very quickly. We clean our house very quickly. But where's that garbage going? where's that
going to end up? What lies is that going to destroy? You see Darko filled up, do not commit abuse on
the earth. You know, you might think Well, how am I committing abuse of the Earth, I'm just living
in this part of the world. Because what happens in one part of the Earth affects another part of the
Earth, the garbage that we're producing is going to end up somewhere else, the things that we throw
away, are going to end up somewhere else. So let our fulfill of the move city. So this is first of
		
00:17:15 --> 00:18:00
			all a lesson in, you know, using earth's resources responsibly, using the blessings that Allah
subhanaw taala has given us responsibly without being wasteful. Like we're told at another place in
the Quran. kudu was trouble we'll have to see food, eat and drink. And do not be excessive, do not
be extravagant. Be just because you have access to certain resources doesn't mean that you can be
wasteful, and then let our fill fill up in obsidian. Remember I mentioned to you earlier that facade
is also through sins, right through acts of disobedience. So all of your needs are being fulfilled,
you have no reason to fight with one another. You have no reason to get into all of these politics
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:42
			and drama amongst yourselves. You have the blessings of Allah, and with the food and drink and the
ease that Allah subhanaw taala has given you don't use your body and your energy in committing sin.
Let our fulfill our dream of city. rather use this body and the energy that you're getting from the
food that Allah subhanaw taala is providing you to do good things, because disobedience leads to
corruption so that our autofill of the obsidian and we also need to think that you know what we eat
and drink the different varieties of foods that Allah subhanaw taala has given us when we eat and
drink then what do we do? So for example, if we're sitting together as a family, and we enjoy a good
		
00:18:42 --> 00:19:29
			meal, we enjoy a good drink. What are our conversations about and then what do we do afterwards? We
need to pay attention to these things. Then another blessing of Allah subhanaw taala upon the Bani
Israel. What is cool to me or Musa Lana spiller? I love barbed wire. And recall when you said
almost, we can never endure one kind of food, we will never put up with one kind of food. Now if you
think about it, the bunny is slightly we're not just given one food. There were given men and salsa.
And remember Salwa, quails, bird meat, man, either mushrooms or you know something sweet. Do there's
different opinions about what money is I told you about all those opinions? So men and Sanwa The
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:59
			main thing is, it wasn't just one food, there was variety. But any if you think about it, if the
menu was always the same, of course, as human, you're gonna get bored. So for example, if there's a
buffet even, and, you know, you go to the same one every single day, the menu is the same. Okay,
there's chicken, there's rice, there is a salad. There's big potatoes, for example, every day it's
the same. You will get bored
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:46
			This is human. Now the bunnies saw Eve. Remember, they were not meant to stay in the desert. This
was not their home, this was not supposed to be a permanent situation. This was a temporary
situation where they are basically crossing the desert. And you know, every sometime they camp
somewhere to stop somewhere. Because they're passing the desert. They're making their way to Koran.
And as they're crossing the desert, Allah subhanaw taala bestowed upon them, you know, Monday and
Sunhwa every single day so that they don't have to worry about food. Because when you're traveling,
and you have to worry about food, it makes travel extremely difficult. Are you supposed to journey
		
00:20:46 --> 00:21:18
			on are you supposed to stop and prepare food? Imagine out there not just 100 or 200 people, they're
probably in the 1000s. So preparing food for so many people, and then acquiring that food and
preparing that food and serving that food and then eating that food and then wrapping up that food
you need the entire day, which is go in food related things. So they were basically fried off the
responsibility of providing for themselves so that they could quickly cross through the desert.
		
00:21:19 --> 00:22:00
			And that's why they would get mugged and Sunhwa it would come down to them from the sky. So they got
bored very quickly. And they said that we're never going to endure with one kind of food. And
basically the way that they're saying this lameness, but we're never going to put up with this. This
is extreme ingratitude. Many think about the blessing of Allah that Allah has taken that burden away
from you. I mean, if any one of you is such that you have to prepare food for your family every day.
And there are times when you wonder at the end of the day, what did I do all day, in the morning,
have breakfast then I wrapped up and then I went grocery shopping. And then I came and organized the
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:39
			kitchen and then I prepared lunch and then I did dishes and then I was thinking about what to make
for dinner and then I made dinner. And now that kids are home people are working from home,
Mashallah. Their appetites also, you know, people want variety, you're not going out to a
restaurant, so you want restaurant food at home, there isn't, you know, places to go, there aren't
people to meet. So how do you entertain yourself, you just, you know, prepare different foods and
you eat that. So when that burden is on you, to prepare food for so many people, and to you know,
even feed yourself. It takes a whole lot of mental energy, physical energy, and Alhamdulillah it's a
		
00:22:39 --> 00:23:21
			huge blessing of Allah that feeding people is rewardable It's actually a good deed. One of the first
things that the prophets of Allah who already said I'm taught when he came to Medina was up there in
that feed people. So Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah we don't do this begrudgingly. We don't do this
within gratitude. But we recognize that Alhamdulillah it's a blessing. And yes, it is reportable,
and at the same time, recognize that it's not always easy. It takes a whole lot of mental energy,
physical energy, but it occupies a huge space in your life, basically. So the bunny is like you any
day expressed extreme ingratitude when they said we will never put up with this Lenise that are
		
00:23:21 --> 00:24:13
			allowed farm wide. Well, you're not here for entertainment, you're traveling through through the
desert, you're just supposed to pass through here in the Bible in the book of Numbers, chapter 11.
One it says the people took two complaining bitterly before the Lord any they were complaining a
great deal and the word that is used complaining bitterly it's also you know, it means to mourn and
to whine. Any be expressed that lack of patience, right lameness, Berala farm and the surface
themselves. And in numbers 11, four to six it says the riffraff in their midst felt a gluttonous
craving. And then the Israelites wept and said, If only we had meat to eat, we remember the fish
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:48
			that we used to eat free in Egypt. Now they're getting somewhere bird meat. They want cow meat or
other kinds of meat. And now they're remembering the fish. And they said we remember the fish that
we used to eat free in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions and the garlic. And
they said, now our gullets are shriveled our stomachs, our insides are shriveled. There is nothing
at all. Nothing but this manner to look at stuff it'll learn us better I love to Army why.
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:59
			And then look at their audacity their rudeness Lusardi his Sena they say further ruler of buck. So
you Call upon your Lord for us.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:09
			You go and make dua at least they could have said Our Lord, but they said Rob Buck You're about as
if they had nothing to do with Allah stuff.
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:54
			They said you make dua and you know there's nothing wrong in asking other people to make their offer
you but the laziest person is the one who does not even make doll for themselves. You need at least
do this much that you make doll for yourself. And okay you can also ask other people to make their
own but at least make your yourself so they said federal in our book, you go and ask your Lord that
usually agenda in that in between that he should bring out for us he should bring forth for us from
what the Earth produces from what the earth gross, and he should cause the earth around us to grow
different things. We want a variety we want the foods that we like. And here we should be provided
		
00:25:54 --> 00:26:38
			in Buckley, how work is that? You have a full me how where are the see how about somebody I need,
they're basically giving an entire menu. We want variety, right? We want different foods. Now, like
I said earlier, it's very normal to YES to get bored. But if you remember your goal, if you have a
purpose, then you don't really pay much attention to what you're eating. You know, as long as you
get a good meal, as long as you get something that is filling that is healthy for you. That's good
for you. You're fine. You know, for example, days that you're extremely busy, you don't mind eating
a bagel for lunch, and you will see people who are who are doing important things or doing big
		
00:26:38 --> 00:27:11
			things. They're not that much into eating great foods. They need the basics. They need their coffee,
they need their water. They need for example, a salad for lunch or whatever, you know, arrangement
that they've made. But the main thing is that they're not obsessing over food. You see an idle mind
is the devil's workshop. And people who don't really have purpose, okay, people who don't have
purpose are people who are constantly obsessing over what they're going to eat next.
