00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			Bismillah
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:13
			Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam, ala MBI mousseline LBNL Buddhas in Hamden, are they here for the
Salah was Qatar slim, Allah, Allah, Allah may in fact one that
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:23
			was in there out of enemy. Sudan Monique, when I'm so lucky with regard to our brothers and sisters,
welcome to SEER we're doing to zero so
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			it's
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:41
			the last time that we were here together, we were talking about the little law here, as Magellan won
me on dabba to fill out the wallet or a little visa fee, he
		
00:00:45 --> 00:01:04
			lost power Tada. He talks about the creatures that he has made and placed in his creation. And one
of His Signs is that every single creature experiences community, some type of community, just like
human beings have
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:25
			said there's not a creature upon the earth and not a bird that flies in the air on its own two
wings, except that it has it has Omen, except that it's organized into groups, and allows for
Madonna says groups and local groups just like you are organized into groups.
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:38
			And subhanAllah we find this especially this time of year, and right here, even in Utica, many of
the birds that we have here next to the MSG, they are in the process of
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:51
			gathering into Fox in order to migrate somebody somewhere for the winter. And they gather together
you see the geese and the sky. Right? fIying in the V. Right. And subhanAllah
		
00:01:53 --> 00:02:09
			there's a foul. I heard one the machete said that there's an example of leadership in the geese.
That's relevant for Muslims. Because you know how the geese fly. And they fly 1000s of miles. Okay,
is the same goose in the front the entire time.
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:15
			Is it. It's not? They take turns. Yeah.
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:30
			Yeah, sorry. One of the keys is the email. He's on the front of the others flying behind me and the
others SubhanAllah? Well, I mean a Atilla they're behind the leader. So that
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:39
			it's not as hard for them to fly because they're right behind it. So the one in France is the one
who flies into the wind.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:45
			And the other ones behind the shielded from the wind because of the others in front of them.
		
00:02:46 --> 00:03:00
			Right, so the one who's in the front get hammered about the hammer. And Misha, right. He takes on
and this is an example of leadership. The one who's the man or the one who's the father of him.
That's right.
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:06
			You say it was the epilogue a lot of years where, say the nurse or the mom. Right?
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:21
			Right. You have to be the one on the front. He's the hammer. Yeah, he has, he's flying right into
the wind. But what happens when he gets tired? He goes to the back. And somebody else steps up.
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:23
			Right?
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:45
			So this is a model of leadership. Right? If there's a Muslim community, we have people Hamdulillah
we have people who have skills who have capabilities, okay, if somebody goes down or somebody leaves
next person, next person up, next person up the bird Subhanallah and then you Alamo
		
00:03:46 --> 00:04:01
			case and suddenly any chance evolution sometime, okay. Right. Some of the things that we see the
animals now and the personnel, less OBE Allah, and Allah azza wa jal.
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:29
			And we have abroad, we have those lessons to benefit. Right? You know, you go on to Hamdulillah you
go on to different Muslim communities. And you see, everyone has, you know, football and no one has
monotonous you know, so some things that are good and some things that are bad. In some communities,
you have no email. But everyone's involved.
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:39
			You have different groups and different classes and different organizations and everybody you
Shaniqua you are the nurse Oh, you Hello, right. You tries to do as much as they can.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:59
			And then you have other communities where it's the opposite, right? Maybe one or two people do most
of the things. Right? And we have an example, in the in the geese and in the birds, that when
somebody's not absent, it's not an excuse to not do anything. You have to put yourself forward
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:05
			If you can, there's a cat cafe. That's like we said, if you go on the study, there's a cat.
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:11
			Right? There's a cafe on the talents that are lost pounds Allah gave you.
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:33
			Maybe you think maybe you need to get enough *, maybe you think that you only know I only know
this little bit. If you haven't even a little bit. Somebody else has nothing. So you're a little
bit. Right is amazing to somebody else. That's right. And people who have studied like, Mara can say
stuff on on myself know, like, the way elite
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:39
			athletes, right or very, very studied a little bit. We're not
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:51
			We're not scholars of the beam, right? You go over to Missouri or you go to Edina, and you see
Earlimart fairland. Right. But
		
00:05:53 --> 00:06:01
			this the fitna, right the little bits that we have, we try to mess with Sharla we try to just help
the people as much as we can.
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:07
			Although sobre la hottie
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:26
			Exactly. Communicate from me, even if it's an and so every single one of us has an obligation, and
we have a responsibility. You have a role to play. Right? Even if you don't have a title. You don't
have anything else. You have something that you can benefit the people by.
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:34
			So they're an example for us now for Lattanzi. Kitabi. In shape. What's the kita al Kitab?
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:35
			Ah
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:38
			math Ratan affilate. keytab. You can shake
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			a love for my food however.
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:48
			I love the look for any union show which other nests? Yeah, right.
		
00:06:50 --> 00:07:05
			That's right, right. Because some there's a group of people who say, Well, we're only going to
follow the Quran, we're not going to follow the Hadith. And yesterday, we have had I say navaratna
photography shape. So we have everything and
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:07
			we don't need the same
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:13
			other map or setup of famine that these
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:35
			kids have here is a lawful my fault. Right? in which everything is written. Everything that's going
to happen a lot as well Joe commanded the pen, right? And he said it's going to write every single
thing that happened from the beginning of time to the end of time. Allah azza wa jal now thought and
it had kids happy to write
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:49
			some killer op him your shadow, and at the end, every single one of us is going to be returned to
Allah as a job. And we ask Allah to give us success on that day.
		
00:07:53 --> 00:08:02
			And alas, paradata he says, Valentina kept there will be a attina some are Bookman, digital nomads,
those who can't double
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:22
			right and this is on the was an Allah knew that it would have been right as there was something more
than the Boo Boo ba attina Some they are Deaf or book non blind filled automat automatic Gemma.
Right. So
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:39
			and one of the is the same sorts of battery cells. He takes them from the automatic either no
modular Matt jammer, or normal from play until he die. Why? Right, like and a wall that
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:52
			sort of people I'll get the right the ways of going astray or multiple, and the shaytaan doesn't
care. And I am a shaper. In the club a billion. Meanwhile, I saw
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:54
			its waterfront,
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:56
			a handshake.
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:12
			That's right, as long as you don't actually stop, right, it doesn't care. You have some people, the
shaytaan he uses their zeal against them. Right. And you see that sometimes with people who accept
Islam in the beginning,
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:48
			they have so much passion for the truth. They were in darkness and now they have light but it's as
if the light blinds and they become the sharp edge. Right? They become extreme in some things. They
go around and they act like they're massive at that dunya right. They're just telling everyone do
this do this. And they don't know the basics. Right? Let's see autonomous pulled this person down in
one particular direction. And then you have the opposite extreme. Right? You have people who, Sir
Who, right like they have to too much.
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:59
			For permissibility are too much permissiveness. They take things too easy. Oh, it's okay. Now we
have Halloween right Halloween just happened. Right? You know, you see the kids coming around well
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:08
			The kids just came to me today. He said and mashallah Ali, he said I need to explain to my younger
brothers why Halloween is haram
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:34
			good mashallah says because he's older, I said mashallah, it's a good good thing that you're trying
to do here. I said, Well, Halloween is a holiday, right? He said, Yeah. Okay, I said, What's a
holiday holiday is a holy day. Okay, you've got this young goddess who has the ability to make a day
holy you me?
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:36
			Or Allah?
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:44
			Right? Who is the only one who can give us information either mean email like a EULA? Yeah, any more
about
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:49
			occasion or sad occasion Allah
		
00:10:51 --> 00:11:05
			and the Hadith of the prophesy, Sammy said that you have replaced the aids that you're used to now
with reading, right, the two aids are those that are unable to help and we don't have any need for
any other sort of aid after that.
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:20
			May or may yessuh Illa or your little one may Allah Allah zero the Mr. Clean, get the chakra some of
the people they have doubts about this I and others similar eyes.
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:24
			They say how does Allah subhana wa Tada
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:28
			hold us accountable for going astray
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:33
			if he's the one who willed us to go to stray
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:37
			right? Everybody understand? Yes sir. Allah.
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:43
			Allah Subhana Allah in fact KFA alumina when I know
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:49
			nobody, right? How are we to blame if we're the ones who
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:53
			were just this is just the will of Allah's parents on
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:59
			how they respond and how the summer
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:01
			Okay.
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:09
			Gave her a gift. Hello, Dolly sucks diable animal Aloha Tara Anthony.
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:11
			At for
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:13
			assessment in
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:17
			May, so we will learn
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:19
			a lot faster.
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:21
			Okay, so who are you Norman?
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:30
			checks up on this television
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:35
			series that one's reminding us for so long on public
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:38
			bus had touched him. And that's
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:44
			pretty much Marcelo
		
00:12:45 --> 00:13:28
			saxophones reminding us of the story of Alma, where when he was the Khalifa, somebody stole it
burglarized the house. And so they were apprehended him, they put him to trial. And they found he
was guilty. And they were about to institute the hands. They were about to put the punishment on him
or moving and sand. And he said, How are you going to blame me for something that I lost the other.
But he already determined that I would do this. And they said, Well, you know, last time to add a
decree that you would steal. And he also decreed that we're going to move your head, your hands. So
that's exactly what it says. So foreigners money as part of wealthy that we cannot use the will of
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:56
			Allah's power to order to escape, or to excuse our own behavior and choice. Right at the end of the
day. I had that name today. Now another day, I lost power. The other showed us the two ways he
demonstrated to us, we could go this way. And we can go that way. And Allah subhanaw taala knows
everything. That's always that's already going to happen. But do you know it? Do I know it? Of
course we don't know. So all we see is we see a choice.
		
00:13:57 --> 00:14:25
			That's right, and it's free. And Allah subhanaw taala gives us these choices in order to manifest
what's really in our hearts. Right? If we want to do the right thing. Most of the time, we're going
to choose the right way. We're going to make mistakes, but most of the time we're going to choose
the right way. And if in our heart, we have the faculty of prefer we have these sorts of diseases,
then we're going to usually choose the wrong way. Hello, I'm gonna start you had a question of
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:59
			excellent, Mashallah. And subhanAllah. Middle Aged, you will never find people applying this logic
consistently. Right? Because when it comes to their man, right, they act as if they have FDF. All
right. They're not going to sit at home and complain and say where's my money? Right, but when it
comes to the dean, now when it comes to the asset, when it comes to EMA and suburb and all these
sorts of things, then it's like, well, I didn't really
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:32
			have a choice. I couldn't really do anything. So I lazos has better live in a capital V tech, lead,
and other human capital you can be born right there deep down. They know. They know. Because if they
really believed it, they would apply it and every single sphere of their life, they would apply it
with their job, they would apply it with the dean, they would apply with marriage. Right? Everybody
knows to go take the ASVAB when it comes to marriage, and when it comes to money, all of a sudden,
when it comes to the dean, they're ready to complain and blame, I lost power talk.
		
00:15:34 --> 00:16:18
			So that's one of the other key wills and everything. He decreed everything. And yet he guided and
has a wish there's a difference between the wish of Allah subhanaw taala. And his will, right? What
does he want to have happen? He wants everyone to be guided. However, he's not going to force it on
anybody. He's going to give every single opportunity and give the mechanisms of gifts and talents
like he said, but then he's going to leave it up to us. Why? Because if he forced us to do it, would
it mean anything? In another manner with me? Yes. And if Allah subhanaw taala, can he attribute on
that? AnnaLena Bucha. Right, like in sort of our off, it wouldn't mean anything, just like a man at
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:35
			the moment have a lot of right or when it's too late. You see the shrimps, the sun rising from the
West, it's too late. Man, we laugh, we laugh payment doesn't have any meaning at that point, because
it's not something that was chosen with free choice.
		
00:16:36 --> 00:17:10
			Well may have said, Yeah, John, who is it all teams talking. So there's a relationship between
what's in our heart and how Allah subhanaw taala. For certain, yes, directs and facilitates for us.
For the person who has a Nia, Saudi Ha, he has a an intention that is good. Allah subhanaw taala.
Suddenly, acetyl Gu, they'll use raw, right? Allah Sparta is going to make easy his way to goodness.
And for somebody who has this problem in their heart of Kibito, or whatever it is, then Allah
Subhana Allah is going to make easy his way to sort of
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:54
			tell us about ourselves. Paul writes a column in our level law he sets Comosa to Elvira Allah, He to
their own or even going from Saudi, just like we're saying how the people of color and people have
shipped, they do not apply those sorts of things that they believe in consistently. Allah subhanaw
taala also demands consistency from us right here. He says, basically, when times are tough, when
your back is up against the wall, when things are happening in your life. Who do you call to? Right?
You have all of these gods, you have all these superstitions you have all of these holidays,
Halloween, and Christmas and everything else, right?
		
00:17:56 --> 00:18:34
			When you're in a plane, or you're in a car, and all of a sudden, here comes to accident, the engine
shuts off, something explodes. Who are you going to call? You're going to call even atheists. They
say oh my god, right? Even atheist says, Oh my God, that's the federal we have something deep inside
of us that really knows that the only one that can save us and the only one that can help us or
remove harm from us, is Allah subhanaw taala. And so if the salah came, then we know that he's the
only one that would save us.
		
00:18:37 --> 00:19:20
			Melia hotel, Allah says, No, really, you would Yeah, that's exactly what you would do. But yeah,
hotel the owner, but you actually format to the owner, la Shah, what time some of the managers
recall. At that time, you would forget everything. Everything else that you called upon that you
reached out to back then it was the idols of stone and wood now it's the things like zodiacs and
manifesting all of these things that people believe in now, astrology, it would vanish, you would
not come to it or think of it at all. And it would be exposed. Right? I lost that he actually if
he's going to expose to you the falsehood of the thing that you used to rely upon and call out to
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:59
			that Eliza just says Well, I thought I was selling that healer, omen and melancholic. But as of now
on bill, but say what not right now I love him yet adore our own. Allah subhanaw taala He gives us a
history lesson here. What's the Sunnah of Allah azza wa jal and there's many different aspects of
this First, there's the Sunnah of how he sends messengers. And second, he's it's the Sunnah of how
he sends hardship and what's the purpose of hardship, which is something that a lot of people they
struggle with, when the lost power to Allah wills for you that you're going to be struggling
financially or that you lose your house.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:08
			or that you lose your spouse or that you lose a child. Right? So Pamela, I was talking with my
sister late last night on the phone.
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:24
			She's a similar ages me, roommate that she had in college just died this week. And I was finally her
parents have to bury her. So something that if ALLAH SubhanA, Allah willed, it's going to happen.
Right? And so
		
00:20:25 --> 00:21:10
			why does Allah subhanaw taala other, let those things happen? Why does he will hardship, whether
it's on an individual level or a collective level, many of us come from Sudan, Yemen, from different
places across the world. Allah subhanaw taala allowed hardship to come to these places. Why did he
do it? What's the wisdom behind it? Is he just angry at us? Right? Is there an opportunity there? Is
that something that we did is something we have to understand how this works? So Allah Spano, Tala,
he says, first of all, well after the other seminar either one topic but I've heard nothing. So
first of all, we sent messengers to the groups of people that came before you, and they will reject.
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:36
			Okay. So this is one way and we mentioned this before that Allah azza wa jal, he console's the
prophets of Allah, Allah He was, he makes him feel better, because from the Prophets sincerity
alayhi salatu salam was that he felt bad that his people did not get guided, they did not accept the
truth. And so the way that Allah azza wa jal makes him feel better is to say it's not just you,
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:54
			and happen to every other prophet before you. They came, and they were rejected. What sort of chain
reaction was released after their prophets were rejected? He says, The US had never been built, but
certainly what? Allah Allahu
		
00:21:55 --> 00:22:19
			Allah, how many tallied? Why did Allah subhanaw taala give them that say, what the raw? Why did he
give them hardship, whether that's financial hardship, or warfare, anything that I left home, and
did our own, so that they would MC saw so that they weren't already locked up, so that they would
return to the truth? Right? These things are reminders.
		
00:22:20 --> 00:23:16
			Because the eyewitness the normal situation, is that when life is easy, you get lazy. Right? They
have the status of making the rounds on social media that says, what was it hard times produce good
men and good men produce good times? And good times, produce weak men and weak men produce hard
times that you should that Yeah, that's right. Yeah. It's there's it's pretty true. Right? And so
Allah subhanaw taala gives the hardship that the raw sat, right that he gives it so that you can get
back so that you can get back and this is something that Allah subhanaw taala used, particularly
with Ben Israel, you remember Bani Israel eagles and Mr. Wright and Musala. He said, lead them out
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:16
			of Egypt.
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:22
			And they went through the desert, they got some sort of stain. And what was their attitude?
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:24
			Was it
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:35
			Yes, so they weren't they were go for a nap. Right? Because they were completely ungrateful. And
Allah subhanaw taala showed them about
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:51
			it in Egypt, after Egypt, everything you go forward, sort of Bacara pages and pages and pages of
NASA felida All this stuff. And then they finally get to a little steam. And they say,
		
00:23:52 --> 00:24:00
			and a lot of Booker said hi, it happens a lot because panela varied, right? Oh,
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:10
			look at look at the cover of them. Right? As if they have nothing to be thankful for. Okay, so what
does Allah azza wa jal do?
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:13
			What does the law say?
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:15
			The T.
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:17
			T,
		
00:24:18 --> 00:25:00
			what's the heck behind sending them into the desert? I take your shirt do you call we write all of
the old generation, but matter, right, all of the old generation dies out. The new generation the
Shabaab, the young guys that are raised up in the T, they're raised up in the desert. And then when
they go back to Philistine and they're told to fight, they fight. And they're brave. Allah subhanaw
taala gave them the bitter medicine. Right? The desert, the hardship, exactly, because it was what
they needed. Right. And some of the some of the math said they've taken from the story, they say and
this is applicable
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:02
			to us in America, they said, look at
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:07
			the attach the consequences of slavery.
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:51
			Right? We're not talking about breakfast. We're talking about other types of slavery, like what we
have here in America or what used to exist in America. Look at the mental trauma that Bennigan's
thought you had been through. They come out of Egypt. And they can't function. They're not full
adults. They're not brave. They're cowardly. They're cowardly. They're gymnasts. They have this
bullet you have all these sorts of things. Right? Because this is how the Obama fit our own. Meet
them. Right. There was also there were to blame me too. But look at the long what it did to that.
And so you see, sometimes you see in America you see the effects of slavery on the
		
00:25:52 --> 00:26:23
			right, you see how sometimes African Americans they have certain struggles. People come from Africa,
right from Sudan. Totally different and they come in their armies like Why Why does this big
difference like like you know, we're from Africa you guys are from Africa buried and shut the fuck?
Right look at how slavery did something to them. Right? Broke the mentality of broke their spirit
that all these things panela it's not easy. It's not easy to
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:25
			make them whole again.
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:40
			So Allah Subhana Allah allows but certain para la let them get around so that they would come back.
Okay. But Lola either job or home. Batswana Todaro, wala can pass at Punahou.
		
00:26:42 --> 00:27:00
			If so, if Allah azza wa jal allows your hearts to become hard. It doesn't matter how clear the
evidence is in front of you, you're not going to benefit at all. Right? Let's say, Allah says it's
not the hearts. See me? It's not the eyes.
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:02
			But it's the hearts that are blind.
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:42
			Yes, exactly. Exactly. We act as this is just met the right you give someone evidence, and then
they're going to see now let's point out to you that the right, he puts a veil over their eyes, the
identical mokara and puts a veil over their hearts to the point where it doesn't matter how well it
takes him to clearly. right even if you show them every single sign that you'll learn, you'll be so
mean with the meaning of they would never leave because it's about the heart. So we ask Allah from
protection from
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:46
			from not being able to use our faculties that he gave us.
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:51
			So once their hearts are hardened, plus Ecologo home.
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:58
			That's the first part. That's their issue. They allow their hearts to become hard. Was a
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:02
			shaytaan Omar, can we Yeah.
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:15
			We say this all the time. How does the shaytaan work? How does the shaytaan get people to do evil?
Right? Does he just tell someone you woke up in the morning says Alright, today you're gonna kill
somebody.
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:54
			Right? There's no way he's not going to convince anybody. Or he's off and the key is very subtle,
right? He's going to use a that's the main tactic that the shaytaan uses. He beautifies it for you.
Yes, that's right. Tenzin is going to say hey, wouldn't it be nice if you have this sort of thing?
justifications? He doesn't deserve that. Why does he have it? You should have that too. Right? They
get to have their fun you should get that all the stuff you're talking in your head you're talking
in your head and all of a sudden then it starts to make sense
		
00:28:56 --> 00:29:22
			that's the outside so we have the inside and the outside right about then is what's going on in New
York. Because all of that was Wes wouldn't do anything if there wasn't a part of your heart yeah Bo
il was worse right he what you want it to be true. Ready to be convinced. And then you have the
external influence, which is the shaytaan giving us every reason and every justification that we
could find.
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:31
			Kalam and so mad Okay, we will be attacked now lay him have a web of totally shade.
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:45
			From the Sunnah of Allah. How does he punish the people? Okay, we said that he sent messengers,
okay, but their hearts were sealed. They let their hearts go, okay. They rejected the messengers.
Then we gave them all sorts of hardship.
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:49
			Okay, then their hearts became hard.
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:57
			Then the shaytaan a beautified for them all of the evil things that they were doing. Then what
happens? A lot opens the dunya
		
00:29:59 --> 00:29:59
			opens
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:01
			Have Done yet to get everything they want.
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:11
			You want the money? You want the cars you want the women, you want whatever you want. All of a
sudden it starts throwing itself that you
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:17
			what situation is your heart in at this point? You can't and
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:21
			there's no way you don't stand a chance. You don't stand a chance.
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:27
			You don't even think about. Exactly. So this is complete offline. You're gone.
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:45
			Hot. Either fetish will be Bhima. Otto, and there's happy look at this way at a festival. Female.
All right, everything they're given, what do we say? You know, you're in America. Right? And we're
saying that they couldn't come on.
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:53
			And say I'm a father to daughter Mica. You have a role? Yeah, tuber and Enrique Pena show Arabella.
		
00:30:55 --> 00:31:06
			Right. They think that everything in America is just natural. From gold. Right. And people in the
United States even Yes, we have that. Right. They think that.
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:10
			Brother, can you turn on these lights to please? Thank you very much.
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:30
			Very holy mountains. Right. They think that they're doing okay. Yes. The dill bill? Um, well, I'll
tell you that. Right there. They assume that their success in the material world is an indication
that Allah approves of what they're doing.
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:43
			How could we be wrong? If we were wrong? Would we be the most powerful country in the world? Would
we be the richest country in the world? The biggest economy in the world?
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:47
			How can we be doing anything wrong?
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:52
			That's not the way it works. Either. 30 Kobe gutu
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:54
			have now but
		
00:31:55 --> 00:31:58
			then Allah Subhana Allah takes people barked at him.
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:27
			Suddenly, surprisingly, without warning, alarm star, but either Mobley soon. And they're left
wondering how this could possibly happen. Right? Everything single civilization is like this. Every
single single civilization, it rises, it falls. And then the historians come later and say, Oh, it
was inevitable look at this and look at that. But the people at the time they never saw I never saw
with them like
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:38
			you know, we drop Nashi. I mean, Derek, we saw a little bit of this with COVID. Little bit of this.
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:48
			Yeah. Are you crying or anything? Right, like some little thing, some little thing. And then all of
a sudden, everything changes. Everything changes?
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:54
			Of course, they will come in at the bottom, but I can't do it.
		
00:32:56 --> 00:33:05
			Allah subhanaw taala is just and he loves justice, even if that justice is not on our timeline.
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:12
			We missed that. Right? We're hasty. We want justice. Yesterday.
		
00:33:15 --> 00:33:41
			Right or your justice yesterday? That's right. I was found that Allah has this plan. Right? And that
he taught here, right? He demonstrates people's faults. And this is why you know some people they
asked me, well, if Allah subhanaw taala knows you're going to be in heaven, and you're going to be
in * unless people are bad on these people. Why go through all this trouble? Of the dunya in the
first place? Lima, Filipina.
		
00:33:42 --> 00:33:49
			Oulun. Why did we create us in the first place? How about us and then taking the hammer? Jannetty
Jana will not have us.
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:58
			And why? Why? Why would he go through all this trouble? How to use your VA hero? I'd say about him.
		
00:33:59 --> 00:34:11
			That's right. If Yeah, well, that. That's just if he had not done that people would have come to the
day of judgment and said, Yeah, this is done. How could you put me here you don't know what I would
have done.
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:32
			So last month, Allah gives us this wife. He gives us, Estonia to demonstrate what he already knows
how to and he already knows. But he gives us this fitna. And that if they bought an empty ham, just
to demonstrate to bring out what's already in our hearts.
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:59
			That's right. And that's I mean it. Right spell out why that is some people they go down the same
road. Why did Allah create all this in the first place? It seems like this cruel game. You're going
to put people here in this cone and this creation, they're going to have all these temptations, all
this evil, all this hardship and poverty and war and all these things that we know. Why would Allah
do this? Right
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:38
			To have somebody who has the choice between right and wrong with all of these shadow works, and all
of these trials on the outside and still yet fantasizing at the adult Allah as a sign. So there is
no possible way that people would still choose good and that good would still exist unless there was
a good creator behind all. So the good that exists in our world is proof of loss power to Allah if
there was no creator and everything should have been completely evil by now. Right?
		
00:35:40 --> 00:36:01
			But Allah subhanaw taala will achieve justice whether it's on our time or his of will do debit or
told me that the bottom will hamdulillahi rabbil Alameen Allah Spano Tata praises himself for ending
Katya there it says, a completely cut off the people who are oppressed because Allah does not love
oppression.
		
00:36:02 --> 00:36:14
			And hamdulillah one of my favorite as a friend from Epic Italia, he said that what Allah says, some
people, like we said, there's always a fraud and a threat, right? Some people
		
00:36:16 --> 00:36:18
			they say, oh, Islam, you guys are so violent.
		
00:36:20 --> 00:36:21
			You believe and you know,
		
00:36:22 --> 00:36:43
			let's say that I put it this way. non violence. pacifism is very popular among some people in the
United States. It's very easy to be a pacifist if you're, if your country has all the bombs and all
the guns. Very easy to be pacifist, right? Yeah. So I say when I believe in fighting, I don't
believe in fighting I like Gandhi and
		
00:36:44 --> 00:36:48
			MLK Jr. No fighting no violence, no nothing. Right so far.
		
00:36:51 --> 00:37:19
			But as final I forgot, I forgot to connect. So I was going to make because it just made me laugh.
But I lost power to Ireland. He loves justice. He loves justice and justice must be done. Right? And
to act as if yes, this is it. Thank you for Manasa is some people say and Christians say this a lot.
Because Christians have gotten behind this idea that Allah is just love. Right had a balloon Hola.
Hola.
		
00:37:20 --> 00:37:21
			Right.
		
00:37:22 --> 00:37:36
			mentioned what Sheikh Abdullah Zach brothers said about that a minute and show off your mind. But
they say for example, it's all coded farofa. Right? And Allah will forgive everybody, no matter
what.
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:39
			You say, Abraham?
		
00:37:40 --> 00:37:41
			What? off my limit?
		
00:37:42 --> 00:37:43
			Right?
		
00:37:44 --> 00:37:54
			Are you saying that you are more merciful than a lost parent that write it down is taken to task
class America today.
		
00:37:56 --> 00:38:13
			Right, the heavens and the earth Do not cry over them. You're going to cry over them. You're going
to cry or down. You're going to act as if this is some sort of virtue, who are you being merciful
towards there comes a point when mercy towards the oppressor as though
		
00:38:15 --> 00:38:23
			sometimes mercy towards the oppressor is the one. Right. Boehner ferrata freet I was paradata calls
to justice.
		
00:38:25 --> 00:38:34
			So one of my one of my classmates, one of my classmates asked to set up a reserve to better about
this statement that they make they say Allah
		
00:38:35 --> 00:38:38
			is the Christians here say that? God is love.
		
00:38:39 --> 00:38:55
			Yeah, so this is not just in America but Christians the world over they say they'd say this thing
that God is love. Right. And so some of us we asked this a couple years ago whether Deena like how
do you respond to this thing done as well as say, and he said
		
00:38:56 --> 00:38:58
			that Allah and hope suffer
		
00:38:59 --> 00:39:09
			or have suffered as well as a co nice yeah, I'll suffer. Right was suffer layer clockmaker shape
		
00:39:11 --> 00:39:19
			right. Magellan layer poor problem makin shaken. Right. So there, it's convenient.
		
00:39:20 --> 00:39:42
			It's convenient, because within Christianity if we say that God is love, question must loop mother
NFR mother, Nakata, Mina, right? What should we, what are we supposed to do? There is nothing that
is directing us towards any sort of actions. We don't have obligations. We don't have anything to
do, right?
		
00:39:43 --> 00:39:59
			There is no consequences. Very good. There's no accountability. Right? All I have to do is say that
I believe I accept Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. And then I'm in. That's right, no matter what I
do. So it's a problem. You know, just
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:28
			imagining, No, Allah has loved and Allah loves. But Allah is also more than well, who should eat?
Right? Allah is Severe and punish, or who are sorry, he said, he is someone who was quick to take
account. Right? And so if you look at the, the sufferer Tina, right, all of the attributes or
characteristics of last minute data, they achieve balance that allows them to interact with each
other, all these sorts of things.
		
00:40:30 --> 00:40:36
			And sometimes they're in it's Jonnie sounds Dulwich, right. It's all mixed together.
		
00:40:38 --> 00:40:58
			That's right. Yeah. Oh, many I have many classmates in Medina, from Bosnia. Brother just from Bosnia
just came in, you know, and they said to me, you know, yeah, the war was was horrible. It was
terrible. So many bad things happen. But one of the good things that happened is that after the war,
we started to take a stamp seriously?
		
00:40:59 --> 00:41:04
			Or is that before the war? You know, communism, these sorts of things. They didn't.
		
00:41:05 --> 00:41:09
			Yeah, yeah. Some people abandoned it somehow I forgot.
		
00:41:10 --> 00:41:18
			You know, like, so no one knows best. But sometimes something is a blessing for somebody and it's a
trial for somebody else.
		
00:41:20 --> 00:41:23
			So Allah azza wa jal says, After that,
		
00:41:24 --> 00:41:32
			our item in Africa Allah Who sent Morocco Masada, Mahatma Allah will become many land on obaidul
LAHIA T Combi.
		
00:41:33 --> 00:42:17
			We depend upon the last point Allah even for guidance is coming back to this idea of just because
you have arms, just because you have ears just because you have a heart, it doesn't mean that you're
going to be able to see everything here everything, understand everything. If Allah subhanaw taala
wants you to stop understanding, it will happen. And this is a big test that we have, especially in
the West, where we're told so much. It's about us, right? Like this is it's like the statement of a
bottom. This is because of me. Why do I have the success? My knowledge, how are we going to be
right? This is this is because of me. I got the test scores. I studied hard. I'm the one who passed
		
00:42:17 --> 00:42:18
			the exams. I did, I did it.
		
00:42:20 --> 00:42:22
			Right. And it was time to audit, it's telling us the opposite.
		
00:42:24 --> 00:42:50
			If he wants you to forget, then he will make you forget. I had a professor for sort of UK and he
told me the story was it was about him and classmate of his when they were in school in Santa Maria.
They were always nathless Way to SAP. Right. They were always competing with each other. They were
rivals, when there was before they were friendly rivals to try to push each other.
		
00:42:51 --> 00:43:23
			And so he said, You know, one time, so when they got their exams back, they will always look what
you get. I did better than you. Right. Right. And so he said one time, his friend, he got his exam
back and he saw that he left an answer blank. Okay. And he said this had never happened before in
his life. He said, Wait a second. This isn't right. You've never ever ever left a question blank.
Even if you didn't know you would write something. So he asked me said what happened?
		
00:43:24 --> 00:43:42
			And he said, You know, when I was taking my exam, I forgot the answer for a moment. I was thinking
and my pen fell off my desk. Okay, I reached over to grab the pen. And I saw Novato Isla de
		
00:43:43 --> 00:43:44
			Amelie
		
00:43:45 --> 00:44:03
			loci in a Isla Billa. And right, he said, I accidentally looked at the paper my name. I saw Kelly
Mawashi that I saw one word was Joanne. Jenny. Right and the entire answer came back to me.
		
00:44:05 --> 00:44:07
			Well, if to mean Allah.
		
00:44:08 --> 00:44:13
			And he said and I feared Allah that I would echo that response that it will be your title. Yes,
polish
		
00:44:14 --> 00:44:15
			for Turaco
		
00:44:16 --> 00:44:17
			Aja
		
00:44:18 --> 00:44:23
			so far. Yeah. He was afraid that if he wrote that answer that it will be cheating.
		
00:44:24 --> 00:44:27
			And so he said, I feared a lot. I love the question blank.
		
00:44:29 --> 00:44:37
			This is someone who understands that what we have up here, what we have here, all we have here is
from the last time that he can turn it on, he can turn it off.
		
00:44:38 --> 00:44:59
			He can lead it to tell feedback. He can lead it to success, or he can lead it to fashion to failure
and complete opposite. Definitely Morocco. Right? People who are ignorant and don't even know that
they're ignorant. Right? So we rely upon Allah subhanaw taala to open our eyes and our ears and our
hearts and our minds and
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:29
			So, you know, our professor he said, you know, obviously, he lost points on that exam. But did he
lose anything? In the athletic? No, of course he will he finished the Jowers Yeah, exactly the
baccalaureate madness that what a total and what your data suggests. So if somebody's not making
shape well Xad it tofi Savannah so we asked the last bounce out of the album Celine and that we meet
him where the hustle hot
		
00:45:31 --> 00:45:33
			where we got your time, the time for the
		
00:45:34 --> 00:45:35
			study of that
		
00:45:36 --> 00:45:37
			one minute
		
00:45:39 --> 00:45:42
			okay, so we asked last time to other for,
		
00:45:44 --> 00:46:06
			for facility law, and for selfies, and that he causes us to use our hearts and our minds and all of
our faculties for what pleases Him. And we asked her last time Politicker give us a sample
Subhanallah homie or hamburger Shawanda stalker want to be like fotografico la Nomicon Sharla
