AI: Summary ©

The speakers discuss the struggles of men and women in struggling and suffering during difficult situations, including struggles with their roles as owners of their bodies and actions. They emphasize the importance of finding a balance between work and personal life, using money in a "slack to war" strategy, and the use of words like "ar passion" and "ar passion" to describe emotions and actions. The speakers also emphasize the importance of following one's desires and setting a path for one's life, as it can harm Muslims and is a way to achieve freedom. They provide examples of how these principles work and emphasize the importance of giving sada 49% to rich and poor people instead of just providing it.

00:02:26 --> 00:02:26
			This
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43

00:03:03 --> 00:03:03
			Am I on
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:11
			edge nine
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:30
			we are continuing and perhaps the day we'll be able to finish the Tafseer of sorts
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			and we reach the statement of a lot
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:37
			of
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			what I do walk can either
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:44
			walk or the
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:48
			other guitar I'm filming the other
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:52
			team and more other Comiskey than them.
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			Let's first of all remind ourselves
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02
			where we got to win this war.
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			What have we covered so far?
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:09
			We said that allies are just to see movie
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			about what it means to swear by
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:18
			for allies which had to swear by
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:28
			the different understandings of that one to human behavior that while you are
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:31
			going to be permitted
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:47
			to fight in the city, no one else was permitted to live in the city except for the messenger of loss
of the law of artemisinin for short periods of time and after that, it became it became how long
life was in the beginning.
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:59
			Why are you doing one on one, and that alarm which is swore by the parent and their child? We said
it's my dad.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:34
			As Australian who said Ibrahim is married, who said the stronger opinion of the Tafseer of the eye
is that will only be one hour that covers every parent and every child. Because gender, the general
idea of parent, fatherhood, and having children is something other than the loss of habitat. It's
something huge in the sight of Allah. Look at how ally soldiers started off this whole creation with
Adam. And then from Adam, all of the human beings came, including the prophets, the messengers, the
prophet, Mohammed Salah.
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:54
			So the parents that have children is a great thing in the sight of a lie, it's not a small thing in
the sight of alone, or anyone, I'll leave something serious in the sight of a law. Well, well, I
need you, woman, what? The parent and their children or the parent and their and their child.
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:02
			Then we spoke about the statement of allies or agenda catalana in South Africa.
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:24
			That man has been created in a state of toil, in a state of problems and difficulties and hardships,
and how life is just one hardship after another. Even when you things are easy for you, you still
find things to be hard, in some way or another. So we spoke about the tenant,
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:28
			the cabeza
		
00:06:29 --> 00:07:09
			tough struggles that you have to go through in life or that this is something that even before
you're born, it starts and when you're born, it gets worse. And then as you grow older, it just
keeps getting more and more and more. And that this is something that should raise your Eman, not
lowering your mind, because you should see the struggles and think, How do I know I can no longer
work so what sort of work so this is what a lot of messenger promised us. So we should take the
truth of Islam and see the truth of Islam in the struggles we go through. Because we see we're going
through hardship we go through struggles with or through a hard time. And we actually seeing that
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:27
			this is the promise of Allah. Allah told us, look God Holla Holla inside if you can, we created man
in a in a situation where he's always struggling, always working, always going through hardships,
muszaphar troubles and problems.
		
00:07:30 --> 00:08:22
			And we said that this also gives you a desire for gender, because it tells you that okay, you know,
this life this journey or whatever you do in this to me a wall, I get the money that you can write
as many zeros on the bank balance as you like, you will not escape that cabinet, that ally soldier
created for you in this life. Whatever you do, how much money you have, how many times whatever from
marriage, from children from money from whatever you have, whether you are working, not work, you
are going to have this struggle. So ultimately, you can't escape it until you go to gender which is
why For example, when they ask the man when you rest, he said that when my feet off in general, or
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:42
			he said when I put my feet in general, and this is when you will find peace This is when you will
find the struggle stop until then. Allah in South Africa, we created man in a situation where we're
always struggling all the suffering always with problems or difficulties.
		
00:08:45 --> 00:09:14
			Isobel la aka de la la he ahead does he think that nobody is going to hurt nobody has any power over
him. ie does he think that Allah has no power over him. Allah created him in struggle and suffering
and he created that human being in a situation where that human being is struggling and suffering
and then he thinks that nobody has the ability to do anything to him. As if he is the owner of the
world and everything that is in it.
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:21
			yaku elect to melaleuca he says I wasted
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:52
			money on top of money. We said loboda it means Moeller better meaning on piles on top of each other
one pile on top of the other pile on top of the other pile. I collect to mail and do better. I used
up all this money and we said this is not saga because if it was saga the phrase would not be used
like this to Mel and lubega. You don't say about sadaqa I burned all of this.
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:57
			You know money piles of money. I just burnt it all up. I just used it all up.
		
00:09:59 --> 00:09:59
			I used a pile
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:16
			of money. You would say in fact to man and Luba I spent for Allah to suck duck to be married do
better, or be married? No, but I spent I give sadaqa with these piles of money, but he didn't say
that he said, luck to
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:33
			you. Alonzo jail tells us this man who a lot created in suffering, a lot created in hardship, a lot
created with difficulties. This man who thinks nobody can do anything to him. He says I left to
Milan, Luba, all this money, I just used it up.
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:37
			As if you just,
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:47
			you know, put a flame to a HELOC to Milan Luba. I had money that was piled on top of money on top of
money on top of money and I just got rid of all of it.
		
00:10:49 --> 00:11:01
			I said well lm era, Who does he think there is nobody that sees him when he was spending this money.
Remember even rigida Rahim Allah Allah to Allah said he spent the money against Islam.
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:11
			I want to stop on that just for a second, because I alluded to it last time, but I really want you
know, I I frequently hear people talking about
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:30
			considering conspiracy theories, talking about the enemies of Islam, talking about, you know, the,
the way the enemies of Islam are plotting against Islam. And a lot of you know, this group is doing
this and the secret group is doing that type.
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:36
			I think here there is something that a person should do.
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:53
			And that is that the people have an interest in this kind of thing. And it troubles them all the
time and always thinking about these different groups and conspiracies and whatever. Go back to the
Quran. And see what does the Quran say about the enemies of Allah and their plots.
		
00:11:55 --> 00:12:21
			And when you do that, you will become balanced. You won't become extreme because if you just get
your information from YouTube videos, about the secret society and that secret society, you become,
well, I can imagine you become like a mad person. You start seeing pictures everywhere eyes, on the
floor and in the walls and you know, this person drove past me and he's watching me, you start to
become paranoid.
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:43
			Likewise, the person who says there are no plots and there are no plans. This person is also
extreme. But the one who goes back to the Quran, they find it very balanced methodology as a
religious ally. xojo tells us that the enemies of Islam have plots and plans
		
00:12:45 --> 00:13:01
			for Kokomo maeklong where en de la humor cool. What in Canada macroom liters who would have been
rude Jeeva Allah says they have plotted a plot that if that this plot, it would be enough to remove
the mountains.
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:06
			If you did this plot against the mountain, you removed the mountain.
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:25
			What did I lost him to Wyoming de la he macro? For all of their plots are with a log line, almost
all the things that plot and this is also mentioned suitability approval as elected by the lubega.
Even ruggerio said he spent these piles of money to destroy Islam.
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:39
			In other words, he said, I piled money up to the ceiling and all of it I spent it in this way and
that way to destroy fandoms. There was a lossy, I accept what an MBR? Who
		
00:13:40 --> 00:14:22
			does he think nobody sees him when he spends that money? Oh, as you just saw him. analyzer just
said, What mecho webmaker, Allah will long hydromagnetic they made a plot and allow me to cross
analyze the best of those who plot. But I think if you were to look at all of the different
articles, you can certainly see that the enemies of Islam plot against Islam. And I think there are
so many islands in the program that tell us that the enemies of Islam plot against Islam, without
mentioned particular people groups names, but there are there are 10s of if not tell us that the
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:30
			enemies of Israel 40 in the key to a Qaeda. We're here to figure they're plotting a plot and I'm
plotting a plot.
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:46
			That's the first thing. Their plot involves spending huge amounts insane amounts of money. yakou
galactomannan lubega I spent these piles of money is so much it's piled on top of each other.
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:50
			And they spent it all to attack Islam.
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:59
			And this is something you see with your eyes. You don't need to believe in any you know, secret
things. Yeah. And you just look with your eyes. Look at the amount of money that is spent on
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:23
			On this entertainment and just taking the Muslims away from their Deen and corrupting them, money
that you the numbers just become staggering. You're looking at the numbers and just thinking this
much money it's as if it didn't exist in the world is just money upon money upon money and they
spend it to hurt Islam and to hurt the Muslims. There's no doubt about that.
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:29
			But on the other hand, Allah azza wa jal doesn't tell you to panic over.
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:36
			allies, he is constantly reassuring you that Allah subhanaw taala controls
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:38
			what they're doing.
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:42
			Like Allah azzawajal told us
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:50
			in Seurat
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:52
			in sort of an
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:56
			escape my mo it is anyways, but Eliza just said
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:01
			faceva una, they will spend that money
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:12
			they will spend that money so meta una la him hacer la, then they will feel regretful that they
spent the money so my Okanagan then they will be defeated.
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:20
			Elijah told us, they're gonna spend huge amounts of money. So
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:55
			he has to do is to take the people away from the pocket of Allah, they're going to spend that money,
then that money is become gonna become what for them hacer la they're going to become regretful
they're going to start saying, Oh, we shouldn't have spent it like that. We wasted it, we didn't
really hurt these Muslims. Like we were supposed to film my yoga, boom, then they're gonna be
defeated. So, really a person should be should have a balance. Some people will lie, they get into
this so much, that perhaps they will reach the level where they can it should be known as
		
00:16:56 --> 00:17:22
			they make a partner with a lot. Why? Because they start to fear. Other than a lot of fear that's
only for Allah. They start to say that there are people who watch everything you do. There are
people who hear everything you do a lie so jelly is the one who sees everything you do. A lie is the
one who hears everything you do. No one has that characteristic except a lot jealousy or other.
People want to hear 90% question over the years, everything that you do except the lies.
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:27
			And then people start to panic so much about what the enemies of Islam are doing.
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:47
			That they start to become paranoid, and they start to distance themselves from Islam. So you see,
maybe they don't come to the machine, because the machine is part of the conspiracy and the last
part of the conspiracy and the relevant part of the conspiracy. Like as they become they start to
have a concrete image more like a meticulous lack of markers.
		
00:17:49 --> 00:18:10
			But if they were to listen to what the Quran says in Abuja, ketone Ikeda What are key indicator,
they are plotting analyze plotting, even the end whose plot is good to him. There is no contest
allows plots against the plot of his enemies is so great that while they're plotting they're
plotting against who themselves
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:14
			like allies, which will told us about those
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:18
			people who are given the book Latina Alton keytab
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:26
			there all our lives would have told us that they want to
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:30
			what that thought if I mean lol kitabi
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:32
			and you'll do look
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:36
			warmer, you will deluna illa and also,
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:44
			there are a group of the People of the Book who want to misguide you, but the only people they
misguide is themselves.
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:50
			They make such efforts, huge efforts, but their efforts all of it is just coming back against
themselves.
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:53
			So a person should be
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:55
			in the middle.
		
00:18:56 --> 00:19:17
			Yes, allies which have told us that the enemies of Allah have got big plans against Islam. But those
plans Allah azza wa jal will take care of them. Our job is not to fret and worry and panic to the
extent that we start to lose our religion, and maybe even make a partner with a lot in fear of him
because of how much we scared of
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:19
			other people.
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:21
			At the same time,
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:34
			we know that Allah azza wa jal controls everything that they do and all their plans are just going
to come back against them. So what does a Muslim have to do? Muslim you do your best to
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:50
			learn your religion to practice it, to teach it to other people to spread it. And the rest you leave
to Allah subhanaw taala you didn't see the prophets I send them imagine how his life was in Medina.
He had around him when
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:59
			you imagine that people in his Masjid, who are pretending to be Muslim who are not
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:05
			Who are not Muslim, and they're mixed in with the community. They're pretending to be Muslim,
they're not Muslim.
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:09
			But the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam didn't
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:26
			allow he didn't, you know, the companions leave the Prophet sizing because maybe you can say he got
revelation from Allah. And that's why he was calm about it. But the companions also, they also
didn't let it change the way they practice their religion.
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:34
			We do our best we get on with our religion and we leave the rest to Allah subhanaw taala so a person
like this.
		
00:20:35 --> 00:21:04
			And there are many, many Ayat of the Quran. And all of them tell us that allies are jealous in
control of what these people are doing and that these people will not be able to escape a lie
soldier and that's why this statement electro man and do better I wasted all of this money I against
Islam, comes between two ayat II sobre la tierra LA I had a several lm era who I had, does he think
no one has the ability to punish him.
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:19
			Does he think that no one sees what he is what he's doing. So from here we can we can understand
that the plots of the enemies of allies origin will always end up in ruin. analyzer gel told us
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:28
			lovely, lovely, lovely when anniversary me and my messengers will be the ones who will be
victorious.
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:35
			lm Naja Allah who is a well he sang and worship attain What are they now?
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:53
			This is where we got up to we spoke about that Eliza which is the one that gave you two eyes, that
Allah azza wa jal is the one who gave you your lips, that Allah azzawajal is the one who guided you
to know what is right and what is wrong.
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:57
			And we said that this is a
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:15
			a kind of rebuke from Allah, that our life is rebuking these people that you are now you're the one
spending your money against Islam, you're the one trying to destroy Islam. And the same two eyes
that you're using are the two eyes that are lugging.
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:23
			And the lips, you're using the word these words are coming out from the lips that Allah gave you.
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:42
			The term that you're using, this is the tongue that Allah gave you. And Allah is the one who showed
you the way that is right and the way that is wrong, how can you use the things that Allah has given
you, and then take the wrong path with them when you know that Allah has given you and that is a
general
		
00:22:43 --> 00:23:14
			sort of a methodology within the core ad, which is that allies or gel shows you His rubia His
Lordship, like his creation and what he's given you and the blessings he's given you and then uses
that to show you and to demonstrate to you why you should be worshipping Him and choosing the right
path and not the wrong path. How can you choose a different path when Allah is the one who gave you
your eyes and your tongue and so on? Okay.
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:21
			We now come to the statement of alarm so a gentle fella kata. Harun acaba,
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:37
			here, Lima myblu Kafeel Rahim Allah to Allah He caught some of moseyed or hammer low to Allah for
the hermit acaba, SLS Celica toddy Allah te fi Hana jet Wilhite.
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:45
			He said Fela kata Hamel acaba, the meaning of it is why doesn't this person because remember,
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:47
			why they know who
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:54
			we have guided to one of the two paths
		
00:23:55 --> 00:24:34
			the path of good the path of Rome falcata Hamel acaba, why doesn't this person take the path of good
that's why to set Fela kata Hamel acaba Why hasn't this person, Salah Qatari ality fee her an agile
hire when this person was shown two paths, a path that leads to gender and a path that leads to
janin and the person new allies who just showed them clearly the past agenda and the past to Johanna
Fela kata Hamel acaba, why doesn't this person take acaba?
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:36
			Now this
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:39
			would
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:44
			acaba hear
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:51
			this word or acaba originally is a tutorial ality
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:54
			filled rabbit
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:59
			the path that goes over the over the mountains
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:13
			Until today even in Arabic you still we still call it we still call it an Aqaba generally speaking
like a path that is an uphill uphill path or a path that goes over the mountains. We call it an
alphabet
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:26
			Why do you think a lot so which we'll call now even a cafe he said that this path is the path of an
ajet. Wilhite
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:33
			is the path of safety is the path of goodness.
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:46
			Why did Allah azza wa jal refer to this path as an aka the path that is over the mountain? The
mountain paths the path that goes over the mountain?
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:50
			Why Why not just call it
		
00:25:51 --> 00:26:01
			the path of good or the path of safety? Or the path agenda? What what why refer to it as the path
that goes over the mountains?
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:07
			Why do we think we can get some answers from YouTube? Do you have any? Any suggestions?
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:20
			Okay, good. I like that Deus Ex. In fact, that's the same answer that the sheriff gave. He said,
Well, howdy kuno.
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:31
			He mentioned he should was rube is going to be a hard and a tough climb.
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:41
			Because it's not something it's something that's going to require effort.
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:43
			And that's why generally
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:51
			misguidance or choosing the path of misguidance requires very little effort.
		
00:26:53 --> 00:27:10
			Choosing the path of misguidance and the path of error doesn't require very much effort. Doesn't
require a lot of hard work. You don't have to work really hard to be misguided. Let me just work
route I'm trying so hard to be misguided.
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:17
			Rather be misguided appears to be the easier path.
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:19
			Everything is handled for you
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:30
			and will like somehow when you look at the Quran well I can just this one I I could stop on it all
day. Fela Kota Hamel acaba, why don't you take the mountain path?
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:34
			Why don't you take the path through the mountains?
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:40
			When you think about it, it's not that Islam is difficult. Islam is not difficult.
		
00:27:42 --> 00:28:11
			But the way that when you see people who get misguided generally speaking, people are misguided
through two things, right? We've spoken about this before. They're misguided to Chabot hat and
Shahada, they're misguided because they're confused about something from a knowledge, perspective,
right? They, from a knowledge reason, they're confused, is this right or wrong, and then they get
misguided because of their confusion. Or they're misguided because of their desires.
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:30
			And following your desires, generally speaking, is a very easy road to take. And that's why Allah
azza wa jal told us in an episode that America can be so the soul is constantly going towards evil
because following your desires is really easy.
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:37
			Eating whatever you want, versus being on a diet.
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:58
			Just for the purpose of getting the idea across it is easy to eat whatever you want, it's hard to
control yourself and say, No, I'm not going to eat chocolate today, I'm not going to eat cakes, I'm
not going to eat biscuits, I'm not going to eat sugar, I'm not going to eat this is hard to restrict
yourself. It's easy to just say, whatever, I'm going to eat whatever I want.
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:15
			It doesn't mean it brings you happiness. Because after your whatever you want, you feel really ill
and you feel bloated. And you're sitting there thinking, Oh, I shouldn't have done that. It doesn't
necessarily bring you happiness, but actually setting off on that path is really easy compared to
the path of restricting yourself.
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:59
			And that's why a lot of people when they either talking about people entering into Islam, or Muslims
who are struggling to practice Islam, the problem is that it requires some effort to actually set on
that road. And you know, when people say, Oh, you know, Islam is so restrictive. Islam is
restrictive. Of course Islam is restrictive. And in Silla de la jolla. What Allah is selling you is
expensive. So the Prophet sighs him said the seller is what you the person who shop sells yet, and
they're in a similar to La haulier. The thing that Allah is selling you is expensive and in a sale
at a loss
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:00
			agenda.
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:24
			By we see a lot here really what we should say is valuable not expensive. We the proper word is
valuable. But I wanted to convey the idea that this is an expensive product you're going to get
here. This is gender, this is valuable it is it's not easy. It's not just the case that you just go
through your life with your eyes and your shot and your fingers in your ears and you end up in
gender.
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:28
			It's an acaba. It's a path over a mountain,
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:46
			again, is the purpose of that we always hear about how easy the religion of Islam is, is the purpose
of calling it the acaba to make you like say, or look at this mountain. There's no way I can get
over this. This is so hard. I may as well just do what I want.
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:54
			It's not the purpose. The purpose is you tell someone okay. On the other side of this mountain is
genuine.
		
00:30:55 --> 00:31:41
			Everything you ever want normal Cabot, normal hardship, normal struggles, normal toil normal
problems, but you just got to pace yourself step by step. Allah loves the continuous deeds, baby
steps nice and consistent. Get yourself ready, go climb over the mountain, and everything will be
fine. It's about preparing you mentally, for what is going to come for what your life is going to be
like, your life is covered. Even if you take your desires, your life is still covered, you're still
going to suffer, even if you take your desires. But it feels easy. But in reality, it doesn't get
you where you want to be. So what we're seeing is, based on the tip of this Sora, the only place
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:44
			where there is real ease and relaxation is gender.
		
00:31:46 --> 00:32:04
			There are three paths. Actually the paths are many, but you can divide the paths into one single
path goes to gentlemen, it's a bit of a hard climb. It's a tough climb, you'll have to work hard,
you'll have to prepare hard, but you get there and you get everything you ever wanted.
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:16
			The other paths, which take you away look easy, but they don't arrive at any destination, just stay
on them forever going around around around until they take you to Johanna.
		
00:32:19 --> 00:33:06
			And Johanna is far far harder and far, far worse and far, far more severe than any of the suffering
that anyone would ever have in this world. So ultimately, the path that looks easy ends in the worst
hardship and the path that has a little bit of hardship in it. It's a client. If you're ready for it
and prepared for it, you will be able to climb that mountain with the permission of Allah and Allah
has made the religion easy for you. A lot hasn't made the religion hard for you. So he hasn't made
the climb to be impossible. He hasn't made the climb to be impossible. He hasn't made it so
difficult that you die, you know, you die, you kill yourself trying to do it. He's made it something
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:08
			which is an acrobat. It's a climb.
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:17
			It's a climb. But at the end of the day, it is achievable if you have the right mentality and the
right
		
00:33:19 --> 00:33:20
			kind of mindset.
		
00:33:24 --> 00:33:33
			So a person has to strive against themselves and the next will like some of them call it jihad or
nefs you have to fight against yourself.
		
00:33:35 --> 00:33:41
			And ultimately, fight fighting against others is very
		
00:33:42 --> 00:33:53
			minor in terms of, or if not in minor. Let's say it's the fruit of fighting against yourself. If you
can't fight against yourself, you definitely can't fight against the shaper.
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:59
			And if you can't fight against the shaitaan you definitely can't fight against the enemies of Allah.
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:18
			That's what happened okay. However, Hakeem explained it like that. So the first person you have to
fight to climb the mountain is you and in all honesty, you are your biggest difficulty in climbing
the mountain. And we know this because our lives we just said what color shape one was.
		
00:34:19 --> 00:34:20
			In allow it
		
00:34:22 --> 00:34:31
			to come from left to come one that can only come in so far in and out to confess their job to me,
fella. Hello, morning. Hello, and full circle.
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:53
			The shaytaan will say when everything is done, Indeed, Allah promised you and his promise was true.
And I promised you and I broke my promise. I never had any ability over you. The shaytan had no
power to throw you off the mountain or take you off the path or take hold of you and put you on a
different path. But the shaytaan invited you and you answered
		
00:34:54 --> 00:34:59
			Illa and Darryl to come up to me. I invited you. You answered me
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:37
			fella telone Don't blame me. Well or infosec can blame yourself. You're the one who answered. I told
you this path was amazing and I lied to you. Sorry, but you know you You're the one who walked on
it. I never pulled you. I never took you by the hand and forced you to come onto this path. I just
told you it's the best path ever. It's more amazing. You love it. It's great. Don't worry that it
doesn't look like it's going to gender eventually. You know, Allah, Allah Karim. Allah is Forgiving
Allah will take you there anyway at the shavon lied about what was on the past. But you are the one
who chose to walk it, you chose to take that path. So don't blame me but blame yourself. So the Shea
		
00:35:37 --> 00:35:41
			pine is not even the biggest problem. He's your enemy.
		
00:35:42 --> 00:36:02
			But actually, the biggest thing you have to control to begin this climb is you have to control
yourself. And if you control yourself allies, which will give you the ability to defeat the shape
Han and then Allah azza wa jal will give you the ability to defeat the wider group of people that
are planning and plotting to take you away from that path.
		
00:36:11 --> 00:36:35
			Basically, what we can take from this is that people always want to rest right? Nobody wants to hard
work. Nobody wants to work hard. Generally, typically, your neffs inclines towards being a bit lazy
and it doesn't really want to work hard. So you have to be in control of it. And I remember one of
my missions, he said to me something which I really
		
00:36:36 --> 00:36:41
			I really benefited from it in the topic of Ischia to neffs purifying yourself
		
00:36:43 --> 00:37:03
			because this is test giftedness, right? Because ultimately, there are two problems with mankind. One
is a volume and one is a giant inner who can have a loom and Jia hula, there is the problem of
oppression. And there is the problem of ignorance ignorance you fix it by learning and oppression
How do you fix oppression?
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:14
			in yourself, not in other people oppression in other people be just I'm talking about how do you fix
oppression in yourself the characteristic of oppression in yourself?
		
00:37:16 --> 00:37:33
			teskey Yeah, you purify yourself teskey utter ness. So that's why you know k Rahim allowed to Allah
He said that the cure of ignorance is knowledge and the cure of the volume is teskey is purifying
yourself. So right here now a person
		
00:37:34 --> 00:37:36
			seeks to purify
		
00:37:38 --> 00:38:22
			themselves, and struggle against the struggle against their soul. And the way that she explained it,
he said to me, Look, your soul is like a comp, the first time you get it to sit, it's very hard to
make it sit, you have to drag it the first time you try. And you know, you're trying to keep your
soul on the straight path. And the first time you you know, it's always disobedient to you. But once
you make a habit of forcing it to sit for you, it will sit for you more, it will become easier every
time. And how many of us seen that I remember when I first became Muslim, I couldn't imagine praying
five times a day, someone said to me you pray five times a day, five times a day who can pray five
		
00:38:22 --> 00:38:23
			times a day.
		
00:38:24 --> 00:38:29
			And now, five times a day is like, I mean,
		
00:38:31 --> 00:39:08
			it's there's days where you don't eat but you pray like I mean, it's easier to pray than it is to
eat, you know, like it's the, it's nothing because you build a habit of it right. And that habit
then leads you to it becomes easy for you. And that's how your soul is you keep on fighting with
your soul on something and you never stop because there's always something new that your soul starts
necessarily, to besought the soul is always going the wrong way. It's like you're trying to go up
the mountain and every time you saw keeps turning around and going back you have to keep pulling it,
forcing it to go the way that the knowledge has told you. Because the knowledge cured your
		
00:39:08 --> 00:39:11
			ignorance. That knowledge has told you that gender is that way.
		
00:39:12 --> 00:39:32
			The knowledge you got told you Jen days that will your soul keeps turning around and going
backwards. And the shaytaan is not helping because he's whispering and telling us all knowledge,
really, it's really good Come this way. So you keep going the wrong way. You have to pull your soul
back. But the more you pull your soul in the right direction, the more it will listen. It will
listen. And Allah hasn't made this religion hard.
		
00:39:34 --> 00:39:58
			But gender is valuable. And something valuable doesn't come for free. You don't get something for
nothing, right? You have to show that you and in reality with gender you're getting way more than
you deserve. Gender is way way more than the actions you do. Why is that? Someone who allow like my
whole life for Islam, how is gender? How can you say that? Because whatever you gave for Islam,
Allah give you much more in the studio.
		
00:39:59 --> 00:40:00
			If you
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:10
			Take the blessings of Allah. If you take the blessings of Allah, and you take everything you've ever
done for Islam, it will not even equal your eyesight.
		
00:40:13 --> 00:40:35
			See, okay, I'm going to work hard. I'm going to pray double now. So now at least I can make up for
something. But the problem is you praying double is actually a blessing from Allah, and you still
can't pay it back. So every blessing you get is another blessing and every action you do is still a
blessing. So there is no way you can ever pay back Allah for what Allah has given you in the dunya.
How about gender?
		
00:40:36 --> 00:40:49
			A person works to earn the mercy of Allah azza wa jal as a gift from a line of fever to get the
mercy of Allah as a gift and a fever. And that is what will enter a person into Jenna. Fernanda
Hamel, aka
		
00:40:51 --> 00:40:54
			one adder aka mal acaba.
		
00:40:58 --> 00:40:59
			Women adore aka
		
00:41:03 --> 00:41:06
			Mel aka. So the question here is Allah azza wa jal
		
00:41:08 --> 00:41:09
			asks
		
00:41:11 --> 00:41:19
			what will make you know what this path is this Aqaba? Which is the mountain the mountain pass?
		
00:41:21 --> 00:41:31
			In other words, what are the things which will let you know or what you should expect to find on
this path?
		
00:41:33 --> 00:41:35
			All the things that will show you
		
00:41:37 --> 00:41:38
			what this path is
		
00:41:42 --> 00:42:01
			or show you how to pass the path because allies which you know said Falco Hamel acaba, in other
words, how can you pass over this path? Women a document aka what will make you know, what is the
path what's on the path and how do I get over the path?
		
00:42:02 --> 00:42:05
			So, then Eliza tells you that Cora
		
00:42:07 --> 00:42:11
			Sekou Kou Raka by freeing a slave
		
00:42:13 --> 00:42:18
			by freeing a slave. So Allah azza wa jal tells you
		
00:42:22 --> 00:42:24
			that these things
		
00:42:25 --> 00:42:31
			are examples of the things that will bring you over the mountain.
		
00:42:34 --> 00:42:56
			fella called Hemel Aqaba Why didn't you take the path that goes through the mountain, the mountain
path, woman Adela camel, aka what will make you know, what is this path, what's on the path and what
will help you to cross the path. So now Eliza gel is going to give you a list of a bar that have
acts of worship. And these acts of worship are going to be what is going to get you over that.
		
00:42:57 --> 00:43:02
			That mountain for kurata freeing a slave
		
00:43:03 --> 00:43:05
			Oh, it's Armaan
		
00:43:06 --> 00:43:10
			fiio mean, the mess of order
		
00:43:14 --> 00:43:15
			or feeding at
		
00:43:19 --> 00:43:19
			a time
		
00:43:22 --> 00:43:23
			is to feed
		
00:43:25 --> 00:43:26
			is to feed
		
00:43:29 --> 00:43:31
			to feed
		
00:43:32 --> 00:43:55
			feed to Mindy Mesaba, meaning we should wear hijab, on a day when people are in distress and
difficulty. To feed people. It means to give time to someone else, to give food to someone else to
give food to someone on a day that is the Masada
		
00:43:56 --> 00:44:06
			a day that is the should wear hijab a day that is a day of hardship, an idea of need. And this has a
really really, really
		
00:44:12 --> 00:44:13
			amazing
		
00:44:15 --> 00:44:19
			benefit in it. Which is this issue of
		
00:44:22 --> 00:44:44
			what sometimes you quote a father and the different deeds which is more which deed is more valuable
when right like how do we know which of our deeds is the most valuable at which time notice it a
time giving out food to people is beneficial all the time.
		
00:44:47 --> 00:44:49
			What is the profit sighs I'm saying I should sell them what alternative Walton
		
00:44:51 --> 00:44:57
			was solo belay when NASA Nia to the full agenda to be set up. I'll come apart so I sent him he said
		
00:44:59 --> 00:44:59
			he was asked about
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:05
			How to go to general how he said he told us how to go to gender easily how to go to gender
		
00:45:06 --> 00:45:07
			safely.
		
00:45:08 --> 00:45:14
			So this hadith goes together with the idea for Lakota Hamel aka calacatta hamanaka
		
00:45:15 --> 00:45:20
			wanna document acaba? This Hadees can go with it the profits or SLM said,
		
00:45:22 --> 00:45:38
			of shoe salon, give the salon spread the salon out to people say salaam aleikum, WA I'll clear my
time and feed people will suddenly be lady in Estonia. And pray at night when the people are
sleeping. The whole agenda Toby Salah, you're going to go to gender with safety.
		
00:45:41 --> 00:45:42
			In the Howdy.
		
00:45:43 --> 00:45:47
			It just generally mentions giving out food, giving out food to people.
		
00:45:48 --> 00:45:54
			But when is giving out food, the most valuable when is it the most
		
00:45:55 --> 00:45:56
			valuable
		
00:45:57 --> 00:46:40
			in a time for yo Minzy Messiah filming the shit that inheritor in a time where people are in
desperate need. And that's why people always ask, you know, like, as an example, you see a lot of
people and it's amazing. Their attachment is sadaqa jariya. For example, they love giving sadaqa
jariya sadaqa jariya. But food isn't sadaqa jariya right. We all agree that given our food is not
Southern Nigeria, because the southern Nigeria is something where the benefit of the sadaqa is
continuous, like the example of Prophet size and give gave Manoir or her Mustapha, whoever leaves
behind a must have a copy of the Quran. Every time someone reads the most half that person gets the
		
00:46:41 --> 00:46:54
			reward, but the food it finishes when the person eats it. So some people because they see that
sadaqa jariya just goes on and on and on and on forever. They're like, Okay, I'm gonna give all my
money to a charity.
		
00:46:55 --> 00:47:11
			But sadaqa jariya is amazing, amazing thing. But it's not always the best saga. It depends on the
situation. What about if you are filming the mascota in a day where people are starving in a day
where people are suffering?
		
00:47:13 --> 00:47:17
			Is it the right thing at that time to say he is almost half you can read
		
00:47:19 --> 00:47:25
			nothing wrong with that is higher and higher, but better than it is to give the people what they
need at that time.
		
00:47:27 --> 00:48:04
			And this is a really main focus sada caught from the fear of giving sadaqa that we don't see a lot
of in this time. For example, I used to, at times work with different organizations and things that
give outside the heart and things like that. And I used to see that sometimes people don't have this
in terms of sada where to give it and when to give it so you see they just keep building massage it
and that's amazing wildlife beautiful building msgid membrana Lila, he must cheat and Ben Allahu
Allah will return to gender whoever builds a Masjid Allah builds a house for them in genda, Masha
Allah,
		
00:48:05 --> 00:48:48
			but you see people starving. And still, we're going to build another one next 10 meters away from
the last, like not, okay, not 10 minutes, but you know, a couple of 100 meters away from the last
one. And still, the people are starving, and then 300 meters down the road, we're gonna build
another one, and still the people are starving. So there's nothing wrong with Bill, it's amazing
thing to do. It's from the greatest of the sidecut a person can do. But you have to try and
understand that the value of sadaqa changes depending on the situation. And the greatest example is
our a fireman filming the merkabah I'm going to feed people because today is a day where people are
		
00:48:48 --> 00:48:58
			starving. So I need to feed those people on that day. That's what my that's the best solder I can
give on that day. And that's why this issue of
		
00:49:00 --> 00:49:13
			the different virtues of deeds is not an easy one to deal with. Someone asked about this after the
hood, but today, how do you rate which deed is better and which one is not? It actually changes
depending on situation
		
00:49:14 --> 00:49:38
			depend on the situation. And if a person also the height is good, but if a person has a lot of
thought about this, they can get more out of their sadaqa because they start thinking not just which
sadaqa is best because okay sadaqa jariya is has more multiplication than than regular sadaqa
because it keeps going. But at the same time.
		
00:49:40 --> 00:49:43
			Allah mentioned that what's going to get you over the mountain.
		
00:49:44 --> 00:49:56
			The mountain path is feeding people on a day where people are desperate for food so you it's not so
easy. Like I give an example people talk about
		
00:49:59 --> 00:50:00
			the best
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:30
			of deeds. When the Prophet sighs Helen was asked about the best of deeds. Did he give the same
answer every time when he was asked about which, which part of Islam is the best? I mean, okay
definitely is to heed and learn in a halal way give that that was the standard answer. But generally
speaking was asked, What good deed what good deed should I do? What part of Islam is best? What good
deed is best? What's most beloved to Allah, you start seeing the answers are different. Why are the
answers different? Because depending on the circumstance, the circumstances change
		
00:50:31 --> 00:50:36
			the way circumstances and situations change. Did we have a question on YouTube?
		
00:50:39 --> 00:50:42
			Is there an equivalent to freeing a slave today?
		
00:50:45 --> 00:50:51
			The concept of slavery is something that continues. Isla Yokoyama
		
00:50:53 --> 00:50:58
			is not something that is, has ended for good because Allah azzawajal
		
00:51:00 --> 00:51:36
			put a system in place for dealing with slavery that will last until your pm allows you to put a
system in place for dealing with slavery that will last until your pm and a person never knows and
situations change from place to place. Slavery can happen as a consequence of war, right? We're not
talking about See, the thing is, I didn't want to go into much into Islam and slavery, because it's
a big it's a big, big topic, and it's more of a topic than the Tafseer topic here. But I do want to
highlight a few things. That slavery that Islam dealt with.
		
00:51:38 --> 00:51:41
			was not the slavery of Jay Hillier.
		
00:51:42 --> 00:52:04
			the slavery of Jay Hillier of the time prior to Islam was the slavery that we saw in terms of the
Western world. When people were kidnapped from Africa and sold into slavery. That is the slavery of
what have Jamelia because it's not slavery that is built upon a shadow a reason it's not built upon
an Islamic reason.
		
00:52:07 --> 00:52:38
			And will lie to you that's why you see Subhana Allah from the people that were taken and enslaved
and sent to the west as slaves will earlier map huge big scholars of Islam were sold into it with
was stolen, kidnapped from their countries in Africa and sold into slavery. In the West. This
slavery was wool was oppression. And it has nothing to do with the Islamic rules of slavery because
those people were enslaved.
		
00:52:40 --> 00:52:46
			by volume by oppression, they will not it wasn't something which Allah azza wa jal legislated.
		
00:52:48 --> 00:53:02
			They were kidnapped and they were enslaved. And that is not the first time it happened, by the way,
because kidnapping and enslaving people was very common in the time prior to Islam. And even there
are stories of it happening to the Sahaba. Several of the Sahaba
		
00:53:04 --> 00:53:13
			were kidnapped and forced into slavery rather before them who did it happen to the very famous story
use of
		
00:53:16 --> 00:53:26
			that he was taken from the Well Did anyone see was taken from the well and said, This belongs boy,
let's go find this father. No, they took him from the way they said kalu
		
00:53:27 --> 00:53:35
			Abu Shahada, Ghulam, they said, this is a but we've got us we've got ourselves a boy we can sell
into slavery.
		
00:53:38 --> 00:53:39
			What as a rule will be a bar.
		
00:53:41 --> 00:54:11
			They took him as something to be sold. So the point here is that Islam had a completely different
concept of slavery. But just to give a simple example. And the reason I mentioned that right now is
because this is a hot topic at the moment. You see, at the moment, a lot of people are going back
and asking about the legacy of slavery and the people who are involved in slavery. I don't want any
Muslim to think that Islam had anything to do with that, rather, Islam was
		
00:54:12 --> 00:54:23
			where the Muslims were among the victims of that they were not among the perpetrators of it. And
that's why you have stories of great scholars of Islam who were taken, and they were enslaved.
		
00:54:24 --> 00:55:00
			So just so people understand in context that Islam had nothing to do with that. But Islam encouraged
the freeing of slaves. Now, what is the Islamic slavery? Typically it is what we would now call a
prisoner of war. That's what Islamic slavery is now we would call it a prisoner of war, and will
light while I am not shy to say that the Islamic system of enslaving prisoners of war is so much
more merciful than the system they have for prisoners of war today. Prisoners of War today, just
read your history what happens to prisoners of war what
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:30
			They do to them, they lock them in cages, they make them any dig tunnels until they die, they buried
them inside of it, the *, murder all these things that happen to these people who are un
prisoners of war, you know, like they're supposed to be this is supposed to be the civilized way of
dealing with things. The Islamic way was much more simple. The prisoners of war became slaves. Now
you clothed them with what you clothe yourself with, you house them, where you house yourself, you
feed them with your own food,
		
00:55:32 --> 00:55:34
			and you free them at every opportunity.
		
00:55:36 --> 00:55:44
			If someone understands what Islam is, they will see that all justice is in Islam, and all oppression
is outside of Islam.
		
00:55:45 --> 00:56:10
			So Islam, today, there isn't really a system of enslaving prisoners of war, typically, among
countries, what we have instead is we have a concept of prisoners of war. So they are imprisoned but
not enslaved. That's the the earth today the kind of way that people do things today, when they
fight wars, they don't enslave people, but they imprison.
		
00:56:12 --> 00:56:29
			And so for that reason, there isn't a large number of the ontological number of, of slaves from from
prisoners of war, and therefore, really, there isn't a big opportunity to free slaves, but we're not
going to see the issue doesn't exist. The end of the day.
		
00:56:31 --> 00:56:41
			Even freeing a slave who was taken involved is still from the great good deeds, right? Didn't Abul
backup, abou backup freed how many of the slaves
		
00:56:42 --> 00:56:47
			and huge numbers of slaves Abu Bakar only allow one, he freed them,
		
00:56:48 --> 00:56:49
			like Villa rhodiola
		
00:56:50 --> 00:57:03
			and others that Abu Bakr purchased and fried, whether they were slave enslaved, legitimately or
incorrectly. in Medina, the stories of the Sahaba, who instead of the Sahaba, cooperated together
		
00:57:04 --> 00:57:12
			submanifolds the other stories like that people were taken, kidnapped, forced to work, another
Sahaba came together to freedom.
		
00:57:14 --> 00:57:18
			So you might still find slavery that is based upon oppression somewhere in the world
		
00:57:19 --> 00:57:33
			in which there is opportunity to purchase the slave and freedom for the sake of Allah. But this is
something that really in our time, we don't, it's not if it exists, it's it's not that it's
extremely rare, if it exists.
		
00:57:36 --> 00:57:44
			Something similar to freeing a slave doesn't quite come under for karaca. But it's connected to it
		
00:57:45 --> 00:57:51
			is connected to it, is to free someone from Cofer
		
00:57:52 --> 00:57:53
			and to call them to Islam.
		
00:57:54 --> 00:57:59
			I don't call it it's not it's not for karaca but it's not quite freeing a slave but it's
		
00:58:01 --> 00:58:05
			it's if slavery to a human being is something
		
00:58:06 --> 00:58:08
			you know, something
		
00:58:10 --> 00:58:17
			which gives a person a very low status. Right? When a person becomes a slave, their status is very
low.
		
00:58:18 --> 00:58:25
			How about slavery to the shaytaan? How about slavery to your desires? How about slavery to idols?
		
00:58:27 --> 00:58:27
			Yeah.
		
00:58:28 --> 00:58:54
			So ultimately, if we can't free a slave today, which is actual slave, while at least the minimum we
can do is to try to free people from the slavery which is the slavery of themselves and the slavery
of the shape on and that's why even okay am Rahim Allah, Allah, Allah has a beautiful line in his
new Nia will lie this.
		
00:58:55 --> 00:59:13
			such an amazing thing he said, he said, horrible woman or lady holy Kula who kabu buress Nevsky was
shaytani. He said they ran away from the slavery they were created for what slavery will be created
for what slavery we created for.
		
00:59:15 --> 00:59:19
			All of us were created to be slaves slaves to who a lot.
		
00:59:21 --> 00:59:29
			They ran away from the slavery they were created for. So they fell into the slavery of themselves
and the slavery of the shaitaan.
		
00:59:30 --> 00:59:59
			Will I think if you were to write this in gold, it would not be a waste of gold, to be honest with
you. If you look outside, look at these people. You live in a society where these people tell you
your free will lie. Horrible Mina recolor the hula hula hoop, ah, boo boo, FC worship and they ran
away from slavery. And they said we are free. We are free people. You live in a free country. This
country is free. Do whatever you want. And voila, he there more
		
01:00:00 --> 01:00:03
			slave, they fell into more slavery than the one that they run away from.
		
01:00:05 --> 01:00:18
			They're more of a slave. They are slave to their desires. They're a slave to the shape on. This is
why look at this idea and we're going to get off the topic but why not look at this idea of women
being free
		
01:00:20 --> 01:00:29
			when they tell you, you know, come to the UK, you can be free. The women here are free. They're
completely free freedom.
		
01:00:30 --> 01:00:34
			say to them horrible monarchy, Lady Haleakala, hufa, barbaric.
		
01:00:35 --> 01:00:42
			They run away from the slavery that they were created for to be a slave to Allah. And they became
slaves to themselves in the shape
		
01:00:43 --> 01:00:54
			and will lie they think that they are free, I won't lie they are. There is no Emma, who is a real
female slave who is in a worse situation than they are.
		
01:00:56 --> 01:01:00
			They have to dress the way they dress to please what men think, to please men.
		
01:01:02 --> 01:01:10
			They put themselves wearing nothing naked on a billboard and they say I'm free. You're not free,
you're enslaved. This is slavery.
		
01:01:11 --> 01:01:36
			Then they say to Muslim, a Muslim woman who covers her hair covers her face and her hands and so on.
They say you're enslaved. While I say back to her. I'm not the one who is. I'm not the one who is
enslaved here. And maybe I'm a slave to Allah. You're the one who's enslaved. But look at how the
shaytaan changed their mindset and their mentality that they actually think this slavery is freedom.
		
01:01:38 --> 01:01:42
			They in a slavery that is the worst kind of slavery a person can be in.
		
01:01:43 --> 01:01:57
			And they think that it is freedom. They really believe that they are in a situation where they are
free. But they don't say that see that they are actually slaves to those men in a way that there is
no slavery like,
		
01:01:58 --> 01:02:12
			but they can't see it. And they keep telling themselves I'm free, I'm free, I'm free. But we'll lie
here if you're not a slave to Allah, which you are created for, you're going to end up being a slave
to yourself and a slave to the shaitaan. And the men situation is the same.
		
01:02:14 --> 01:02:44
			If you're not going to be a slave to Allah, you're going to end up being a slave, to the shaitaan,
and a slave to yourself. And that is the worst of the worst, because you can be a slave to a human
being, and still be a slave of Allah, you can still be a Muslim, could be a Muslim slave, you could
be enslaved by a person but still still pray to Allah azza wa jal, but the worst of the slavery
which is as well as afeeling, the lowest of the low is the slavery to the shape. And the shutdown is
the worst kind of master.
		
01:02:45 --> 01:03:13
			The worst master and the worst kind of slavery is the slavery to slavery to the shape on so maybe
you can say if we can't free a slave physically today, at least we can free people from the slavery
that they are living in right now, to slavery to the shapen and the slavery to their neffs and take
them to slavery to Allah. And the big thing is that slavery to allies the highest status a person
can reach. What's the evidence?
		
01:03:14 --> 01:03:38
			What's the evidence that being a slave of Allah is the highest position a person can reach slavery
to the shape one is the lowest, and slavery to a human being is pretty low down on the scale. Right?
If someone says I'm a slave, right, I'm enslaved. That's a pretty low position in the society.
What's the evidence that being a slave to allies the highest place you can reach?
		
01:03:43 --> 01:03:46
			What is true you don't care about what happens to your life but you need evidence.
		
01:03:51 --> 01:04:16
			Okay, so one evidence is that a lot of calls the angels his slaves, that's a good evidence, but
there's a someone could argue that the angels angels have like no choice in the matter. They don't.
So is there an example we can give for a human human beings that would show us that being a slave to
allies the highest position that a person can reach is the highest status you can have?
		
01:04:21 --> 01:04:22
			I Heidi,
		
01:04:24 --> 01:04:24
			as you like
		
01:04:26 --> 01:04:27
			it, man, no problem.
		
01:04:29 --> 01:04:59
			So Hannah, Lady SRB, Abba de Leyland, minute messagelabs, harem MST, la casa de bochner Hola. or any
of the ayat in which Allah calls the Prophet size lm, my slave. The prophets lie some who all agree,
highest lineage, highest status. Number one out of all the children of Adam and I say you two were
the Adam, whatever. I am the best of all the children of Adam, and yet in the position, let me ask
you this question. The Prophet size M is the best of the children of Adam
		
01:05:00 --> 01:05:15
			Write of all of all of human beings, he's the best. As for the angels, the scholars will not get
into the whole issue of the whole of creation. And let's leave that aside. Let's just stick to a
simple thing. He's the best of the children of Adam.
		
01:05:16 --> 01:05:46
			When was he at his highest status? Like when did what event comes to mind when Allah really raised
him up to the highest place? And it's through our marriage, right? in that event, when you have the
best of the children of Adam, in the highest place that a person is so high that gibreel said, I'm
not allowed to go where you're gonna go jabril said to him, I'm not allowed to go past this point.
Here I stop. gibreel is not allowed to go that high.
		
01:05:47 --> 01:05:58
			And the prophets I seldom went that high. In that state in that place. What did Allah call the
prophets lie Selim sapan la vs. La, B, Agha de he, my slave,
		
01:06:00 --> 01:06:27
			the best of the children of Adam in the highest place that anyone can go and he's called my slave.
And that's an evidence that slavery to Allah is the highest like they call it karma or Buddha,
servitude and slavery to Allah is the highest that a person can go. The highest therapist can go if
that time comes, we will pause the class to give that I don't know who's watching the other time.
		
01:06:32 --> 01:06:39
			Just check on the just check because that that clocks not very, maybe not very reliable. Just check
the timetable.
		
01:06:45 --> 01:07:23
			Definitely seems early 2944. Okay, when the time comes, we'll pause it and we'll then we'll just
continue shall. Okay, so we got the freeing of a slave and we got the feeding of the retirement,
filming the Mesaba Yeti men, them acaba Who are you going to feed so not only do the lies which I'll
tell you about the situation is that the people are in a state of desperate need. The people are in
a state of severity. And you're feeding the people in the state of severity. But Allah azza wa jal
tells us who you're going to feed, you're going to feed your team and
		
01:07:24 --> 01:07:26
			their motto, Maharajah
		
01:07:27 --> 01:07:32
			a team, who is your team who can give me a defined definition of your team. What is the word your
team need?
		
01:07:35 --> 01:07:37
			An orphan who is an orphan in Islam?
		
01:07:39 --> 01:07:40
			In Islam,
		
01:07:42 --> 01:07:51
			the Prophet saizen was often up to a point up to a point but what makes a person often was the
definition of often
		
01:07:53 --> 01:07:57
			got half of it, you don't have a father, that's half of that you lost your father.
		
01:07:59 --> 01:08:02
			There's another half before?
		
01:08:04 --> 01:08:08
			Not quite nearly you lost your father before maturity.
		
01:08:10 --> 01:08:37
			When foccacia manchaca who do a senior boo, whoever lost their father, before the age of puberty
after the age of puberty, we don't call them yet in. We don't call them often we say they were an
orphan. But we don't call them a team when they reach the age of adulthood, before they become an
adult. They are an orphan whoever lose their father. What about someone who loses their mother, we
don't call them an orphan,
		
01:08:38 --> 01:08:43
			then orphan if they lose their father, before puberty.
		
01:08:44 --> 01:08:56
			Because the father is the one who's given the responsibility in Islam of paying for them, looking
after them spending on them, protecting them by the permission of Allah. So losing the father is a
big thing.
		
01:08:58 --> 01:09:04
			And we spoke about the team already in the Tafseer of the ad. We spoke about the team, where did we
speak about the team?
		
01:09:08 --> 01:09:10
			We definitely spoke about the team already.
		
01:09:14 --> 01:09:18
			Anyways, we'll think about it. We spoke about the team already. And we said that
		
01:09:20 --> 01:09:22
			looking after the orphan.
		
01:09:23 --> 01:09:45
			You imagine the orphan is someone who is first of all, they don't have someone looking after them.
They don't have someone to look after them. They don't have someone to protect them. I'm talking
about after allies. They don't have someone to protect them to really like defend them. And I don't
know if you guys saw but when we did the Muslim family
		
01:09:47 --> 01:10:00
			episodes, we spoke about the fact that one of the great things a parent can do for their child is to
defend your child. Like look at how the prophets why Selim was with with Fatima the Allahu anhu when
		
01:10:00 --> 01:10:41
			I wanted to marry the daughter of Abu Jihad rhodiola on her, and he wanted to marry her. And the
Prophet says and became angry. And he said, Fatima is from me. And whether makes her upset makes me
upset. So defending your children is a major part of parenthood. What do you do if you don't have
that finger who is going to defend you? And then the child starts to get older, and the child starts
to realize that their dad's not with them. And maybe the other kids start making fun of them and
start seeing now you know, you don't have a dad, or they start to see I'm going out with my dad, me
and my dad are going out me and my dad, my dad's taking me this, my dad bought me this present.
		
01:10:42 --> 01:10:43
			And this orphan is sitting there thinking.
		
01:10:45 --> 01:10:46
			I don't have that.
		
01:10:47 --> 01:10:52
			I think we pause it there. Pause it, pause it, just put it on pause for a second while we give the
other.
		
01:12:53 --> 01:13:05
			Okay, so we're just going to finish off this. We'll finish off this segment because I don't want to
I don't mind doing another day on the Tafseer. But I want to finish this segment. Otherwise, we're
not going to
		
01:13:07 --> 01:13:08
			sort of Doha.
		
01:13:09 --> 01:13:17
			I was it was certain that we spoke about insulting marijuana we spoke about sort of Xochimilco. So,
the team
		
01:13:18 --> 01:13:23
			is described as Elliott is described as Yeti men that Makarova
		
01:13:25 --> 01:13:34
			Makarova here means caraga meaning a team who is your relative.
		
01:13:36 --> 01:13:39
			The team who is your relative has two rights over
		
01:13:41 --> 01:13:47
			the right of the team, the right of the orphan, we said, you know, the team support especially when
they get older,
		
01:13:49 --> 01:13:53
			and the other children are saying my father does this, my father did this, my father gives me this.
		
01:13:56 --> 01:14:05
			So that's why softening the heart is when you rub your head, you rub your hand over the head of the
orphan softens your heart, you look after the orphan.
		
01:14:07 --> 01:14:10
			And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told us that the one
		
01:14:11 --> 01:14:21
			who he who raises the orphan or takes care of the orphan that he and I will be like this in Paradise
and he put his two he put his two fingers together.
		
01:14:23 --> 01:14:28
			This orphan has two rights, the right of the orphan and the right of
		
01:14:30 --> 01:14:32
			will corba the relative
		
01:14:34 --> 01:14:50
			and relatives and your family is sadhaka is most deserving to be given towards your poor family
members because they have two rights over you. They have the right of El Caribe, the family member
and the right of the Yeti.
		
01:14:54 --> 01:14:59
			Is it the case that all of the Tamar the orphans are deserving of
		
01:15:00 --> 01:15:01
			Zakah, for example,
		
01:15:03 --> 01:15:05
			is the car does the car go to an orphan?
		
01:15:13 --> 01:15:31
			An orphan is not one of the categories of the zecca. The question is, is the often poor or not,
because some orphans are very wealthy, they need taken care of. But that doesn't mean that they're
necessarily poor, some orphans can be more wealthy than any of us, the father left behind millions
of pounds for them.
		
01:15:33 --> 01:15:36
			But the issue is, they still need someone to look after them take care of them,
		
01:15:38 --> 01:15:41
			you know, be kind of like a father figure for them.
		
01:15:44 --> 01:16:20
			Here we're talking about feeding, so we're talking about the poor orphan. And here this orphan is
poor. So they have the right of the orphan, they have the right of the miskeen, the poor person and
they have the right of the party, the person who is your relative, likewise, the neighbor, the
neighbor has another right on top of you. So you're always looking at starting with the people who
have those big rights over you, your close family members and so on, and then outwards and outwards
and so on our miskeen and their metadata or a miskeen person, a poor person,
		
01:16:22 --> 01:16:56
			a poor person, and included in this could be the orphan who is not your your family member. Because
remember, the orphan that is mentioned in the first part of the first ayah is too often mentioned in
the first ayah is the orphan Who is your family member, your orphan who is from your family, and the
one in the second it is the poor person, generally. So this can be the one that is from your family,
and the one that is not from that is not from your family. And the poor person is described as their
mclubbe.
		
01:16:58 --> 01:16:59
			wants to rob
		
01:17:02 --> 01:17:03
			dust,
		
01:17:04 --> 01:17:13
			their metal robber, some of the scholars of Tafseer, they said it's as though the person the only
thing that they have is dust.
		
01:17:14 --> 01:17:34
			It's like that, like someone who is so abject in such abject poverty, such severe poverty, that the
only thing that they have, it's like they have just buried themselves in the dust like they've
covered themselves in the in the dust or like the only thing that they own is dust,
		
01:17:36 --> 01:17:39
			or miskeen. And they're metal, rubber,
		
01:17:40 --> 01:17:49
			or a poor person like that. But some of the scholars have said they didn't say that they said
they're met Robert, they said that we are the one who has a family.
		
01:17:51 --> 01:18:06
			They said it means the poor person who has a family. And this is more beneficial. This is another
reason about focus saga caught the flick of giving sadaqa that looking at the poor person that has a
family,
		
01:18:07 --> 01:18:25
			you're going to benefit not just them, but you're going to benefit their whole family and then more
that gives more than just the poor person who is by themselves. And you know, like as a single guy,
you can you know, you can have suffered with some situations but it's difficult when it starts to
affect your children. And you see poverty affecting the children.
		
01:18:26 --> 01:18:28
			The word in the Quran doesn't
		
01:18:29 --> 01:18:43
			that matter about doesn't mean family, but some of the scholars mentioned it in the by meaning as in
the context of the one who is really suffering the most is the one who has is poor and has to also
support their family.
		
01:18:46 --> 01:18:57
			Otherwise the meaning of the ayah is the one that lay setting the who she is the one who has
absolutely nothing is that the only person you can give saga to the one who has absolutely nothing
		
01:19:00 --> 01:19:15
			in the Masada Cartoon for how long it will Masaki is the is the condition for Zika for example,
we're not sure about Sakaba Sadako generally but I mean Zika is the condition for soccer they have
to be there much rubber, they have to have nothing zero.
		
01:19:19 --> 01:19:41
			A traveler truth you can give it to a traveler, but let's look at just I'm just looking at poor
people. You know, like for example, to qualify for Universal Credit, for example, you have to have
you have to have a certain you have to have a certain amount of income, a little income compared to
expenses and stuff like that. In Islam, what is the threshold for Zika and poor people?
		
01:19:57 --> 01:19:59
			You complicated it with education.
		
01:20:00 --> 01:20:10
			But you're right. But you just you made it more difficult than it had to be. It's a person who
doesn't have enough for their basic essentials.
		
01:20:11 --> 01:20:25
			So what you say is perfectly correct is someone who doesn't have enough for your basic essentials,
what are the basic essentials, this is where there is might be some difference among the scholars is
education a basic essential or not?
		
01:20:27 --> 01:20:38
			What I mean is, if you're in a country where you have to pay for your education, and someone says,
I've got enough for my rent, I've got enough for my food, I've got enough for my bills, but I don't
have enough to pay for my children's education
		
01:20:39 --> 01:21:07
			is an essential, many of the scholars of our time sets from the total react is from the essential
things that a person can't live without, because even their journey, their earning, and their job,
and so on. But maybe in every country is a bit different, right? Everywhere is different, because
some places, maybe your private school is not essential, you can get a public school and things like
that, but generally, they don't have enough money for their essential needs. That's the
understanding of
		
01:21:08 --> 01:21:35
			the person who is entitled to the zakka. As for the sadaqa, there is no limit to it. You can give
sadaqa to a rich person if you want, but it wouldn't be as beneficial as the sadaqa that you give to
the poor person, as the sadaqa you give to the person who has a family and is poor, and so on. So
you can give sadaqa to anyone you want. You can give sadaqa to a rich person, but you need to try to
give yourself data where it's most beneficial.
		
01:21:43 --> 01:21:45
			So we can finish with a principle
		
01:21:46 --> 01:21:49
			that we can take from all of these statements sort of balance,
		
01:21:51 --> 01:22:33
			what principle we're going to take, when it comes to South Africa, the greater the need of the
person, the more reward you get in your Southern car. That's the car that we're going to put here,
we're going to put a principle, and we're gonna say the principle of where you give your sadaqa is,
the greater the need of your sadhaka the more reward there is. So in a place where and what lies not
well, like even the amount of the message he was telling me that when he grew up, he said we didn't
have a must have for everyone. Not everyone had a copy of the Quran.
		
01:22:35 --> 01:22:52
			Not everyone had a copy of the Quran, we had to go and the whole people in the village they had to
go and there's like one call and they have to borrow it to learn the surah and give it back and then
like that they didn't have a Quran for they didn't have a Quran for everyone.
		
01:22:53 --> 01:22:55
			So in that case,
		
01:22:56 --> 01:23:02
			they had food but they didn't have a Quran for everyone. What might be the saga with the most reward
		
01:23:03 --> 01:23:04
			it would be
		
01:23:05 --> 01:23:20
			to leave to give a poor and for example, but in a situation where people are starving of hunger, the
best sadaqa wouldn't be to give a copy of the Quran. The best sadaqa is the one that fulfills the
greatest need.
		
01:23:22 --> 01:23:23
			I thought we were going to finish this
		
01:23:24 --> 01:23:32
			I went off on a tangent and we didn't get a chance to finish it. Does anyone have any questions
before we conclude and we break up for salata Asia
		
01:23:36 --> 01:23:38
			anyone got any questions
		
01:23:41 --> 01:23:42
			any questions from the YouTube
		
01:23:47 --> 01:23:49
			minute give them 10 seconds see how quickly you can type
		
01:23:55 --> 01:23:57
			the type typing okay well let them type
		
01:24:07 --> 01:24:12
			okay put put that on the you can put down the screens Good question. So this question says
		
01:24:14 --> 01:24:23
			the early generations didn't used to wish for death actually we have had if we have enough in this
so we don't we have a clear text the Prophet sighs I'm said lay a term and then
		
01:24:25 --> 01:24:33
			we do when NASA lobby a Comic Con. He said Don't let anyone wish for death because of a hardship
that happened for them.
		
01:24:37 --> 01:25:00
			In Canada boot dermatillomania and failure code if the person must wish for it, then let them say
Aloma a Hany mechanical hire to hire only whatever funding either Canada to offer to hire only or a
lot make me live as long as life is good for me and cause me to die when death is good for me. Like
there is a difference between wishing to die and between
		
01:25:00 --> 01:25:26
			longing for gender, I long for gender. But I know that gender is on the other side of the mountain.
So I want to go as far up the mountain as I can to do as many good deeds as I can to get as much out
of my life as I can. That doesn't stop my longing for gender. wishing for death is like all us. I'm
sick of doing my good deeds here in this life, I've had enough of myself, I've had enough of these
things, I just want to die.
		
01:25:28 --> 01:25:51
			And that's why the Prophet sighs them said, lay at him. And then I had to come on out the door in
naza lobby because something bad happened to him. He didn't say don't wait long for gender, he said
don't wish to die because something bad happened to you. And that's the way you reconcile between
the two. That's the way that we reconcile between the two let go you have one more concretely.
		
01:25:52 --> 01:25:54
			Two more yellows, sir.
		
01:26:06 --> 01:26:47
			So that's a really good question you can put on the screen for everyone. So the question is
sponsoring an orphan is that the same as the one who looks after the orphan? So it's a part of it,
no doubt, but it's not the same as the one who has the really, you know, takes the orphan in and
gives the orphan everything they need. But it's a big part of it. So you get a share in it, right?
So when you pay for an orphan up to sponsor and often what happens, you pay for someone to look
after that orphan. Right? There's a share now, between you and between them, they have a share,
because they are the ones who are actually looking after them and taking care of them. And you have
		
01:26:47 --> 01:27:09
			a share, because you're supporting that financially, and inshallah the reward will be for both of
the people who are involved. But it's not exactly the same as the person who does both of those
things themselves. pretty shallow, the reward, and the the grace of allies was a lot. There's too
much. You can't put a limit on the Lord's grace and mercy.
		
01:27:10 --> 01:27:11
			Plasma.
		
01:27:17 --> 01:27:31
			Well, I asked this to one of the teleporter it's a very good question. They said, I daughter, a
daughter. This is the I didn't know the answer this question I had to ask. One of the students of
knowledge about
		
01:27:33 --> 01:27:42
			a girl reaches the age of puberty. A girl she reaches the age of puberty, but she's not married. Is
she an orphan or not?
		
01:27:44 --> 01:28:27
			And the answer was, she's not an orphan. She stops being an orphan at puberty, but she is from the
army of the women who are in need of the single women who are in need of being taken care of. So she
doesn't go from orphan to everything's fine. She goes from orphan to a lady in need of care, but
she's no longer an orphan when she reaches the age of puberty, she's not an orphan anymore, but she
is a lady in need of care until she gets married. So she's still given social support by the state
from the beta and that we're going to stop there. That's what allies was made easy for me to
mention. Allah knows best for salatu salam ala nabina Muhammad were either the he was happy he
		
01:28:27 --> 01:28:27
			married
		
01:28:32 --> 01:28:32
			or
