So Alladhina Kelowna, Reba Lau your kimono Illa color your como Lilia the hub moto che condominial mas Subhan Allah, you know, the matter of Riba is so serious, there are many things that you know about whose prohibition we have learned in the Quran for example, you know haram food and things like that. But this kind of warning that the people will consume rebel will stand in this way on the Day of Judgment, this is very severe, very, very severe, this type of warning is given only for the Riba he, there is many things that Allah subhanaw taala has mentioned in the Quran, things that are immoral things that are prohibited, and legal punishments are mentioned. But this kind of a threat,

00:00:51--> 00:01:37

this kind of a warning, this is only for Reba. And the strange thing is that we are so careful. You know, as Muslims, we are so careful that we don't want to be near pork, for example, some people don't even say the word pig, right? In so many Muslim cultures and Muslim families. This is something that is unmentionable, it's the animal that must not be mentioned. Right. It's so filthy that you don't even say the name, you just say pi G. All right, or like a friend told me recently that in her family, they said Gunda janhvi You need the dirty animal. All right, they weren't even allowed to use the word pig. This is how much we will avoid eating something haram. But when it

00:01:37--> 00:02:26

comes to Reba, Reba is so much more serious, so much more hateful near Allah. yet. So many Muslims have made it permissible for themselves. They take this matter so lightly, look at what Allah subhanaw taala is telling us over here that those people who consume riba lie your co Munna they do not stand or they will not stand lie your kimono your kimonos from cough whelming. Camellia como is to stand and this is standing either in the world or on the Day of Judgment. So they will not stand or they do not stand in that except command just as your Kuhmo he stands who stands a lady at the hob bottle who shaped on the one home shape on has beaten to insanity, menial muss whoo with demonic

00:02:26--> 00:03:21

possession, yet the whole bottle shaitana Shaitan has driven him mad. Okay, the word yet the hub bottle is from ha Balto and humped is to beat something very harshly. All right. This is the meaning of the word hub. So for example, the word hub is used for when a camel beats something with his forefoot with his front foot, or the word hub is also used for when a person uses a stick. Alright, to beat the leaves of a tree in order to make them fall down. This has helped me it's not to strike gently but it is to just go after something and just beat beat beat beat this has helped. All right, and the humbleth which is the form over here, yet the hub bateau the hub booth is when something is

00:03:21--> 00:04:20

beaten or moved to a state of disturbance, any it has been beaten and beaten and beaten, agitated, so that it is in a state of commotion, it's not still, okay, it's not still, like for example, if a tree is beaten, beaten, beaten, even when a person stops beating for a few seconds, what's going to happen, the branches are still going to be moving. Right. So this is the hobbits that when something is in a state of commotion, convulsion disturbance, all right, and hobbled over shaytaan or the habita. Who means when shaitan has harmed a person such that shaitan has driven him insane shaytaan has made him go mad. Basically shaytaan has made that person crazy and confused, because what does

00:04:20--> 00:04:59

shaitan do? shaytaan sometimes interferes with the thoughts of a person right? So for example, we learned that when a person is making wudu, than shaytaan does worse was that Oh, you didn't wash properly. You didn't say Bismillah you didn't wash your hands. Start again. Start again. And person is washing their arms, or you didn't wash properly wash it in Washington. You only washed once. Whereas the person has already washed the arm three times in a constant interference with these thoughts. What happens a person gets confused, confused, right? I remember this one friend of mine she was telling me about how her grandmother

00:05:00--> 00:05:35

in her old age would, you know she would forget when she was making well do you know if she had done wudu properly or not. And when she was praying Salah she would forget. And then if left on her own, she would spend an hour making, we'll do our praying salah, like, you know, she would continue to start again and again and again. Allahu Akbar. And so she said that she was asking me what to do. And I said, you talk to her and you say that I am going to be with you and you're making will do and I'm going to be with you when you're praying. And then grandmother agreed, but it was very hard for her to just listen to her granddaughter, and do what her granddaughter was saying. So this is what

00:05:35--> 00:06:34

shaitan does with his WESA imagine just by interfering in our thoughts shaytaan can drive a person to a state of such confusion, alright, but here what is mentioned minute in must, from an account of a must, must is touch, any, this is referring to the touch of the devil, any physically, shape on has possessed this person. And so this person is in a state of madness, any, what this means is that on the Day of Judgment, the people who consume interest will come as insane people, they will come out of their graves as if they are insane. Shaitan has driven them insane. And some olema what they say is that this means that they will not be able to stand because a person who is in a state of

00:06:34--> 00:07:24

madness confusion, and especially because this is the hub booth, what's going to happen, the person is going to try to stand, but he will fall, he's going to stand, take a few steps, and he's going to fall. So he's going to keep trying to stand up to get up but he's going to fall. So he will not be able to stand. This is how the rubber eater will be recognized on the day of judgment. And you see, Allahu Akbar, the reward or punishment for a deed is similar to the nature of the deed. All right, the person who consumes interest, what is he doing to others? He is not letting others stand on their feet. Because what's happening? Someone borrows money from him. And he says, sure, take it,

00:07:24--> 00:08:15

but I will charge you interest. All right, he charges interest. And so what happens the person who borrowed the money. Now his financial condition is worse than it was when he initially took the loan. And especially now, if he's asked for an extension, and now he has to pay interest every month. All right, what happens is eventually the interest amount is way more than the amount that he even borrowed. So this poor person now is in debt forever. Even if he tries to establish himself be financially independent, he's not able to write. So the river eater does this to others, he doesn't let them stand on their feet, he doesn't let them gain any financial independence, they make some

00:08:15--> 00:08:56

money, and they try to you know, improve their condition. But then what happens they have to pay the interest they have to pay back the loan, and so they're never able to stand on their feet. So the river eater you know, subject people to such torture in the world that every month literally with some people is what they feel like now they'll be able to stand on their feet, but they're not able to the fall again. Now we'll be able to sustain the fall again, paycheck comes paycheck goes paycheck comes paycheck goes and they have nothing. So the punishment for the sin is similar to the deed itself, right. So, he did not let other stand and he will not be able to stand himself on the

00:08:56--> 00:09:45

day of judgment, He will keep falling keep falling keep falling like a mad person. And somewhat renumber say that this means that in this world lie a kimono Illa come out of a bottle shaitana minimus, a person who is driven to insanity, by shaytaan. Like someone who is possessed by the devil. If you talk to them, they don't know what you're saying. It's like they're zoned out. They're in another world. They cannot make a conversation. So the person who consumes riba he is like this, that the love for wealth has made him blind to the needs of people to the struggles of people. He's just so lost in his own world that he doesn't care about how others are struggling. So Alladhina

00:09:45--> 00:09:59

Karuna Reba Lai a kimono ELAC Amalia como Ledi. Yet the Humberto shaytaan minimis on the Day of Judgment they will stand like an insane person or on the Day of Judgment, they will not be able to stand they will stand and fall

00:10:00--> 00:10:51

Stand and fall in this life. They are driven mad in their love for wealth, and their ability to distinguish between right and wrong to distinguish between human need and their own personal desire and need, that ability is gone. So they're not able to to differentiate between halal and haram. Stuff it Allah, so can I accumulating at the hub bateau shaytaan Meenan. Mus. And this shows us that shaytaan can have a physical impact on human beings. This is true shaytaan doesn't just affect people spiritually. Shaitan is also able to harm people, physically, and mentally. And there is many proofs of that in the Quran and the Sunnah, and we learn about how the Prophet sallallahu earlier

00:10:51--> 00:11:37

sent him would make drop, seeking a loss panel tarnis protection, that what are all the weaker and yet the hot button your shaytaan are in the note that I seek refuge with you lest shaytaan should drive me to madness near my death, because this is what shaitan does. At the time of death, you know, you will come to people and drive them insane such that they will say things which are wrong about Allah or they will make very bad decisions, and so they will waste the entire effort of their lives. So that he can be unknown Talu in normal Beirut myth, hello Reba. One more thing. I don't know if you've ever come across a story or if you've ever witnessed someone who is possessed by

00:11:37--> 00:12:25

shaitan, maybe exorcism something like that you have seen sometimes literally when the effect of shaytaan goes away, the person is physically exhausted or they have broken bones in their body, they have bruises on their body, and physically exhausted because any shaitan has physically harmed them. They are in excruciating pain. And this is how the Rebbe eater will be on the day of judgment that this person did not care about what others were suffering, they put others in excruciating pain by demanding interest so they will be put in excruciating pain on the Day of Judgment. If you look at the previous idea, we learned that those who spend in the way of Allah Allah when I lay him, wala

00:12:25--> 00:13:13

homea has unknown, they will not have any fear, they will not grieve. And here we learned that those who take interest from others look at the pain they will be, look at the humiliation, the disgrace, the fear the agony that they will be in on the day that they meet Allah Valley could be unknown Carlu in the mulberry room with lottery bow, why this punishment that is because they say trade is just like the river. But Allah subhanaw taala says who are halal Allah Who will buy our health from a riba Allah has made bear lawful and he has made it HIPAA haram unlawful now they say Valley code that what is that referring to the punishment off those who consume rebel why will they be punished

00:13:13--> 00:14:05

so severely be unknown TyLoo because of what they said and this shows us that words what we say can be extremely damaging, we are responsible for what we say there are rewards for saying certain things and there are punishments for saying certain things, okay. What we say matters, what we think all right, as long as we filter those thoughts, and we keep a check on them. We are not responsible for the thoughts, but we are responsible for what we say so be very careful about what you say. So this is because they say in the military or military by indeed Bayer is like rubber. What is bare via is from through letters by Yeah, I mean and Bayer is trade basically you are exchanging one

00:14:05--> 00:14:59

thing for another, right? So they say the trade is just like river. Now. Allah subhanaw taala has declared riba to be haram but these people oppose Allah and they say a trade is like Riba okay, what is interesting is that they're not saying Riba is like trade they don't say in nama Riba, mythical bear. No, they say, trade is like interest as if interest is the main thing. And this is how twisted their thinking is. So their objection is against Allah or zoologia that why is it forbidden? why has Allah forbidden riba whereas trade is just like Reba? And this objection against Allah subhanaw taala any This is very wrong. Because Allah azza wa jal has the right to do whatever he pleases. He

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

has the right to come in

00:15:00--> 00:15:44

Do what he likes. He can declare what he wants to be lawful and he can declare whatever he wants to be huddled, because Allah Allah will hook him judgment belongs exclusively to him. He gets to decide the rules. We don't We are His slaves, and we do not have the right to criticize the law of Allah. And remember that all of Allah subhanaw taala, his actions, whatever Allah subhanaw taala decrees whatever law that he has legislated, it is based on his hikma on his wisdom. And so, what Allah subhanaw taala has commanded us to do, this is free of any fault any the law of Allah is free of any fault. So if Allah has prohibited Riba, there is some wisdom in it, there is some benefit in that

00:15:44--> 00:16:35

for us. And the fact is, that river is what it is little it is oppression, all right, pure oppression. And over generations, what happens because of Riba is that the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and there is exploitation of the poor, you know, it only perpetuates systems of injustice. I mean, we see from, you know, individuals to even countries, right, that are under debt. And those debts are collecting interest, any it's impossible for them to get out of those debts. And when they cannot get out of those debts, they cannot pay them back because the interest is way more than the original amount that they had borrowed, then what happens? You're always the smaller guy,

00:16:35--> 00:17:28

you don't have the ability to do what you want. Right? So if Allah subhanaw taala has prohibited Riba, this is to protect us, Allah subhanaw taala responds what a hello law who will be our HUD Rama, Reba that No, trade is not like Riba. Why because Allah has made Beyer trade lawful, and he has made the river haram. So one is lawful, the other is unlawful. And remember, the lawful and the unlawful are not the same. Halal and Haram are not the same. There is a huge difference between the two. And only a person who is extremely ignorant or is choosing ignorance could say a statement like this, the trade is like interest. And the fact is that the profits obtained through trade, and the

00:17:28--> 00:18:07

profits obtained in the form of interest from alone are not the same. There's a huge difference between the two. How first of all, the first difference is that one is halal. The other is haram and haram and halal are not the same. There's a huge difference. Some people would like the world to be like that, that everything's fine. But that is not the case. If that was the case, then why did Allah reveal any revelation? Why did Allah send His Messenger SallAllahu Ortiz and why did the prophets of Allah whoever it is and have worked so hard 23 years bearing so much difficulty to convey the *tier of Allah, why also that we can say Halal and Haram are the same. So, the first

00:18:07--> 00:18:51

difference between bear and riba between trade and interest is that trade is permissible interest is not Secondly, interest is a fixed benefit that one makes how by sitting on their couch and just lending money, right, there is no risk, there is no effort. In fact, if you find people who are already struggling better for you, because they will never be able to pay back the loan. And so, they will always be under debt, they will always be paying you back they will always be paying you interest. So you can just sit at home, enjoy your life and collect interest. Trade. On the other hand, what does that require? It requires hard work, you cannot sit at home, people who are in

00:18:51--> 00:19:34

business, you know, they work very, very hard. They work weekends, they work evenings, they take huge risks. And the profits through trade are not always guaranteed. Right? Also trade what does it do? It causes the economy to thrive, it provides opportunity to people so that they can, you know, earn money, they have access to different things. But interest river only allows the rich to get richer and the poor to get poor. Riba is the exploitation of those who are in need. And there's so much injustice, right that it almost becomes structural injustice, that it's so difficult for people to come out of the cycle.

00:19:35--> 00:20:00

Any I know of people who have inherited their father's mortgages, so the poor guy is working a nine to five jobs five days a week and he's not able to, you know, do what he wants with his money because he has to pay off his father's mortgage Subhanallah so this is very serious. What 100 Allah Hubei are what heard Rama Riba? One is halal, the other is not. Then Allah subhanaw taala says from India who

00:20:00--> 00:20:44

Marilla to middle of Bihi from unser, whoever Jaya who it comes to him, what comes to him Marilla tone and admonition from whom Mira behaved from his Lord. What is the admonition? The admonition is what is mentioned over here in this ayah that those who consume interest will be insane on the Day of Judgment, this is a clear warning, a clear admonition to clear instruction that do not consume interest do not consume River, this is haram and this mower Allah is coming from whom in Rubby from his Rob This is coming from Allah, Allah is instructing us over here. So, the one who receives admonition instruction and more or less from the root letter as well or in law and then Fanta her

00:20:44--> 00:21:37

then he stops he seizes Fanta, High Noon higher now he is to stop any he stops taking interest, he stops dealing with interest, then what's going to happen? Fella Houma sell off, then you will have whatever has passed saliva is from the root letters seen lamb fat and it means what has passed, what is gone, what is over from the same root is the term self. Self are the earlier generations, right? The people from the time of the companions, and the generation after them the generation after them the earlier generations. Why are they called the self? Because they're gone? They're no longer alive. All right, but self alone is not determined seller for slyly. A seller for Seiler meaning the

00:21:37--> 00:22:24

righteous predecessors anyway follow myself you will have what is past, okay? Meaning now a person doesn't have to sit and calculate, okay. In the past in my entire life, how much interest have I earned? Okay. And now he's trying to think he's trying to dig his past records and he's trying to calculate how much interest he has ever received or how much interest he has ever paid. Because remember, the one who pays interest is also guilty as the Hadith mentioned, the person is not required to do that fellow who myself II will have what is passed, whatever is done is done. What Unruh Illa Allah and his affair rests with Allah. What does this mean? This means what Unruh Illa um

00:22:24--> 00:23:19

Rahu his affair or its affair, this is interpreted in several ways first of all, um, Rahu the ruler, merci Umrah whoo hoo, the pronoun is referring to myself meaning what has happened, the interest that he earned in past life, it's a fair is with Allah, meaning now it is up to Allah to punish that person or pardon him for the interest that he earned in his past life. Okay. Secondly, the URL MSA M RW who, the pronoun who is referring to the person, which person, the person who received the admonition and stopped taking interest now his affair rests with Allah. What does this mean? This means that now it is up to Allah, Allah can forgive you or Allah will hold you accountable. So yes,

00:23:19--> 00:24:04

you should be careful in the future, and you should stop taking interest immediately. Right? But keep seeking forgiveness from Allah azza wa jal because it is up to Allah. He can hold you responsible for what you did in your past life. All right. And he can also pardon you it's up to Allah. Other Roma say that um, Rue it Allah. And he Yes, the pronoun refers to the person, but in this is actually hope. All right, some say that in this is warning another saying this is hope that don't be afraid, Allah will deal with you. And when you have repented and change your course, you're no longer taking interest, then you will find Allah to be forgiving and merciful. But what's the

00:24:04--> 00:24:49

main thing fun to her? He stops taking interest. He has to stop because part of Toba is what their conditions of Toba? Right Toba is not just that a person says a software law stuff for Allah. I'm so bad. My bed. This is not Toba. Toba is that you feel guilty you feel remorse, regret over what you have done. You feel terrible about the fact that you disobeyed Allah that you did something in clear violation of his commands. So the first step of Toba is regret. The second step of Toba is that you leave the sin you stop doing it. So for example, if a person is drinking beer and at the same time saying a Stafford Allah with every sip, Toba Toba stuck with Allah, some people do that their

00:24:49--> 00:24:59

backbiting and they say a Stafford Allah, but you know she was saying this to me. Toto Baba, you know, this is what he did. This is a mockery of Toba is different

00:25:00--> 00:25:48

You cannot be committing haram and saying Toba. Toba is the hardest of all at the same time, if you are really regretful and really seeking forgiveness, then leave the sin. Right? And then another part of Toba is that you fix any damage that you caused when other people are involved. And you also seek forgiveness. So what I'm gonna do il Allah seek forgiveness, leave the interest do not take it anymore. And on the other hand, woman Narada for hola Iike us herbal now, Humphrey, her Holly don't woman or other, whoever returns are those who remain well done, are allowed to return. So whoever returns meaning he hears this admonition, he learns that interest is haram. Here is this idea. reads

00:25:48--> 00:26:35

this idea learns this idea. Here's the Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam but then goes back to taking interest dealing with interest his actions don't change for hola Erica is Habana then those are Companions of the Fire? Can the warning be any clearer? Can the prohibition of interest be any clearer than this for hola equals harbor now home fee her Holly dune they will abide they're in eternally StuffIt Allah. And this shows us that those people who with knowledge keep dealing with interest and this is a major sin for which is the punishment of help. Because when punishment of Hell is mentioned for a sin that means that that sin is a major sin. But you see when

00:26:35--> 00:27:23

there's a major sin. If a person is a believer, and they commit a major sin, then what's going to happen eventually, they will be taken out of hell. Right? There's many a hadith that mentioned that. But here it has been mentioned homefree Holly doon After the pause for Oli calls her go now pause home via holiday and they will abide there and eternally. So how come it has been said with regard to the Rebbe eater that you will abide there and eternally? Because this is the fate of those who say in normal bedroom with low Riba, those who reject the law of Allah to consume interest while believing it is haram? That is bad. Yes, it is disobedience, yes. But to deny the prohibition of

00:27:23--> 00:28:19

interest and to say, I don't accept that it is prohibited. I don't think it is prohibited or saying that the device, okay and then justifying it, it's just like trade. There's no difference. This is the form of trade, then this is actually Cofer. Remember, this is the halal of Haram is Cofer what is is the halal to make lawful to believe that it is lawful. So to believe that interest is lawful to make it lawful for oneself, this is covered, this is rejection of Allah subhanaw taala as law, this is opposing Allah azza wa jal so for them, it is at home via Caledon, they will abide there and eternally, can you imagine? And sadly, there are many Muslims who fall into this mistake that, first

00:28:19--> 00:29:05

of all, they're taking interest that they're dealing with interest, and then they say it's okay. Not a big deal. You know, in this day and age, actually, you cannot do anything without interest. And then they will justify saying things like, the Quran only mentions taking interest, it doesn't mention anything about giving interest, so we're only giving interest we're not taking it. So, you know, this doesn't apply to us. So basically, what they're saying is, that giving interest is permissible, and this is completely wrong. Very, very wrong. To say that giving interest is okay. This is opposition to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So in this ayah, we learn that Allah

00:29:05--> 00:29:48

subhanaw taala gives a very clear, huge warning for dealing with interest. And in this is a warning for those who take the matter of interest lightly. And so they receive interest or they engage interest bearing loans, or investments that are like that, or purchase different things with interest payments, or put their money in such accounts where they receive interest. And all of this is wrong. You see, committing murder, okay? It's well known that it is wrong. If you have a weapon, and you say, No, I'm not going to kill anyone with it, but you give that weapon to someone that use this and go kill them. And you say, I'm not using it, they're using it. You're also a criminal.

00:29:48--> 00:29:59

You're very much involved in that crime. So remember, the alkenyl Rebbe, the one who receives interest is a majorem is a criminal. But even the most

00:30:00--> 00:30:52

Malkiel the one who pays interest, he is also a criminal. Because the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in one line. Okay, in one statement, he cursed the Akeelah riba were mukhiya, who were Shahidi were katiba, who we learned the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam cursed, the one who takes interest, the one who pays interest, and the two who witness it, okay, meaning the two witnesses to a transaction, where interest is involved. And also the cat is the one who records the transaction, because some financial transactions require witnesses, right. And then you have an official person who is transcribing who was writing that was recording that transaction, all the

00:30:52--> 00:31:39

people involved in Ribba, they are cursed by the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam. So whether a person is dealing with a bank, or an individual or a university, remember, paying interest is also a crime, being a witness to such transactions, facilitating interest bearing mortgages, for example, and receiving interest, all of these are crimes, and those who eat interest, they are directly on the receiving end. Right. And they have exclusively been mentioned in this idea because such people are most hated, right? Loan sharks, it's well known, they are hated by people, and they're the ones who benefit from it the most, they are the worst, but those involved in this crime in other ways are

00:31:39--> 00:32:28

also guilty. All right. And another important thing is that if a person is involved in interest in some way, right, this is well known Muslims all over the West, right they have made interest lawful for themselves. And if a person is involved with interest in any way, please, please do not ever justify it. Do not argue about it and say things like Quran only condemns the one who receives interest. So paying interest is okay. This is a form of denying the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa salam, and opposing and rejecting the law of Allah, and this is far more dangerous than consuming Riba. In Hadith. The Seder listed for the chief does have is the fourth What do we say are all the

00:32:28--> 00:33:11

becoming surely mouse on Earth? Europe, I seek refuge with you from the evil of what I have done a boo like have been aromatic Irelia admit all of your blessings on me what Ebola can be done V and I admit all of my sins, I admit my sins for fiddly, so forgive me forgiveness only comes after admission of guilt. But if a person is justifying their sin, and they're saying that it's okay it's okay it's okay. Then this is worse and ask Allah subhanaw taala in a hadith we learned the prophets of Allah who are is and would pray the DUA is Miss noon Allahu mfine Behala Lika and haram ik wel, l Nene befuddling Carmen seawork That Oh ALLAH suffice me with your lawful against your unlawful

00:33:11--> 00:33:51

meaning. Give me satisfaction with what you have made lawful for me, so that I have no need for what you have made unlawful. In another draw along my name is Erica Emma Nafion what is called the human where I'm Allah Mata Kabbalah, and this is a dua the prophets Allah who are listening would make in frigid right in Fajr Salah right before saying the salam that oh Allah I ask you for knowledge that is beneficial for sustenance that is pure, and for deeds that are accepted. Now, this is the eye of the Quran that very clearly told us about the prohibition of interest. There are so many a Hadith also, which tell us about the prohibition of interest and I think one Hadith to a hadith are

00:33:51--> 00:34:37

sufficient over here. In one Hadith, we learn the Prophet sallallahu or you said I mentioned a subdural mobile caught the seven destructive since any those sins which will destroy a person. What does that mean if a person engages in them, their dunya is destroyed ruin and their alcohol for sure, definitely is ruined. And all of these seven destructive sins is the river dealing with interest. In another Hadith we learned the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and this hadith is in Makati. He said this night i drempt The two men came and took me to a land the holy land from where we proceeded on until we reached a river of blood. Okay, the Prophet sallallahu sallam was

00:34:37--> 00:34:59

shown a river of blood, in which a man was standing and on its bank, meaning the edge of the river was standing another man with stones in his hands. The man in the middle of the river tried to come out of the river, but the other threw a stone in his mouth and forced him to go back to his original place.

00:35:00--> 00:35:41

So as the men in the water tried to come out what happened, the one on the bank, the one of the edge, threw stones at him straight in his mouth, and forced him to retreat and go back to the middle. And this kept happening. The Prophet sallallahu sallam said, Whenever he tried to come out the other man with throw stone in his mouth, and force him to go back to his former place, imagine, and that entire water is turned into blood. The Prophet sallallahu already said, I'm asked you, buddy, who is this? Who is this man who has been tortured this way? And he was told, this is the person who consumes the river. This is the person who consumes the river. There's such severe

00:35:41--> 00:36:34

punishment. Make the intention, that you're not going to deal with interest, you're not going to receive it, you're not going to pay it and purify your wealth. Ask Allah subhanaw taala to assist you, to make ways for you believe that Allah is your result. It's not that $100,000 loan, it's not that $50,000 loan. It's not the house that's going to shelter you know, it is Allah azza wa jal, who is at LaSalle. And the risk, the sustenance that Allah has written for you will definitely reach you. You cannot die until you receive all of the sustenance that Allah subhanaw taala has decreed for you. It was decreed for you before even you entered this world. So make the intention and ask

00:36:34--> 00:37:16

Allah subhanaw taala to assist you regularly pray for yourself that yeah, Allah provide me with lawful income, lawful sustenance. I don't want to deal with haram. I don't want it. You know when it comes to her on food, same thing. When you go to the store. Sometimes people will go to a halal meat store. There is a huge sign outside halal meat, they will still ask the butcher is this hand slaughtered, they will go to a restaurant. And again, it says over there halal, but still people will ask so careful about what they put in their mouth. And riba notice how it's been said Yeah, Kelowna, Reba, any you don't like the thought of putting pork in your mouth when it comes to river

00:37:16--> 00:37:18

you have taken this matter lightly.
