00:00:03 --> 00:00:03
			Sisters,
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			please I can hear talk. Please no talk
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:07
			tonight.
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			Tonight is a night where,
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			you know, Laylatul Qadr, some of the Sahaba
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			used to swear by Allah that this is
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			the night of Laylatul Qadr.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			I don't want the angels to descend and
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			to come and to see our masjid is
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			in a in a chaos.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			I want them to see that this masjid
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			and tranquility and peace.
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:29
			Say amen. Amen.
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			So I ask Allah
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			to make us among those witness witness
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			and to be among those. So the prophet
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			said
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			Those who pray the night of Qadr, Allah
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:48
			forgive their sins. And tonight, Shaa Allah, Sheikh
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			Ammar will be talking at midnight
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:53
			to you after sister Rona's talk,
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			right after our week. Sheikh Hamar will have
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			a whole entire Friday night lights about Leila
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:58
			Talqadr
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			and the significance of it.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			But in my talk tonight,
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			I I wanna talk obviously, I told you
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			before tonight, I wanna do a fundraising for
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12
			the Masjid. But before I ask you for
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:12
			for actions,
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:13
			you know,
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:19
			He said knowledge before
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			actions. Knowledge lead to action.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:25
			I wanna make my talk tonight about a
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26
			verse in the Quran,
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29
			which is something I've been reflecting upon for
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:29
			a while
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			since I read it here in the Masjid
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:34
			few, you know, days or maybe couple of
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
			weeks ago,
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			when I was reading in Surat Maryam,
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said,
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			And it's amazing how Allah used the name
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			Ar Rahman
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			as a submitted
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			servant to him.
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:25
			Allah knows each and every one in the
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			heavens and the earth.
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:30
			To the extent not only everyone but everyone
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32
			and what everyone
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			have done.
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35
			Everything you have done.
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37
			Al Hasan al Basri
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:39
			said, when you come in the Day of
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			Judgment,
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:41
			Allah
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:42
			already
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			have the counts
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			That even how many breaths you have taken
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			in this dunya is counted.
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:00
			And each and every one of you
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			will come in the Day of Judgement
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:03
			alone
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:06
			What that means alone? Yani,
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:10
			when you meet Allah, you will meet Him
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:10
			alone.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			We come in groups,
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			but when it comes to meeting Allah,
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:18
			when it comes to meeting your deeds,
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:21
			when it comes to meeting your actions,
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			when it comes to looking at the record
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:25
			of your deeds,
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:26
			you will be alone.
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:30
			And also coming to Allah alone,
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			it's a very unique thing if you think
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:33
			about it.
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:35
			My dear brothers and sisters,
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:39
			we come to this dunya alone, individuals.
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			Even if you have twins,
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:44
			one of them comes first.
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:51
			Then
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:52
			you leave it
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:55
			You leave it alone.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:02
			Alone. You will be replaced in your grave
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:03
			by yourself,
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:05
			and you will be resurrected
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:06
			alone
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:11
			until you gather with everybody. And everybody
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			in the day of judgment feels that he's
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:14
			alone.
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			Even though there are so many people around
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			him, but he feels that he's the only
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:19
			one there.
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:21
			He cares only about himself.
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:38
			That Ibrahim,
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			the father of all the prophets in the
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:43
			day of judgment said, You Rabb, my soul,
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:43
			my soul.
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			And remember Ahmed reported that
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:52
			said that Isa ibn Maryam, his mother approached
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:53
			him, and he said,
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			My mother, I can't help you with anything.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			It is my my concern is my soul.
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			And if this is the case that you
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			will meet Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala alone
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			you have to be prepared for this fact.
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			You will meet him alone. You will stand
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:16
			before him alone.
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20
			Don't let this dunya deceive you.
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			Don't let all the materialistic
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			things around you deceive you
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			because it all will be left behind your
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:29
			back.
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			You will come alone.
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:33
			No parents,
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:35
			no spouse,
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:36
			no friends
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:38
			No community,
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:40
			no secretaries,
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:42
			no employees,
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:44
			no one
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:45
			alone.
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			And the people when he goes to Allah
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:54
			alone, is one of 2. Either he will
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:56
			be looking forward for it,
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:57
			so
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:58
			optimistic,
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:01
			have done so much
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			and he knows that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:05
			will be pleased with him welcoming him.
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:08
			Or you know from yourself
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:11
			that you have not fulfilled.
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15
			The obligations that have made on you.
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18
			You know your own sins more than anyone
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:18
			else.
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21
			You all, you know your shortcoming more than
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:22
			anyone else.
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			I don't want anyone of us to come
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:27
			in the day of judgement
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:28
			to meet
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:29
			Allah
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			I don't want anyone of us to come
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:38
			to meet Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:42
			It's like someone who run away from justice
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44
			and now he's captured to be brought back
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			to meet the court and to meet his
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:47
			judgment.
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:51
			You know when you see in the news
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:54
			somebody get arrested in a country, then he
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:54
			was transferred
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			back to the country, how he comes in
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:57
			humiliation
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			to meet his basically his justice.
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:21
			You will come to meet us
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:23
			individually
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			and You will leave behind you
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:29
			what we have blessed you with in this
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:29
			life.
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41
			You will leave behind you
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43
			those who used to serve you, to protect
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:44
			you.
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:47
			There is no insurance company to cover you.
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			There is no lawyer to defend you.
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			There is no one to be there for
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:52
			you.
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:56
			You come everything, you will have no money,
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:58
			you will not have fan, you will not
		
00:07:58 --> 00:07:59
			have a position.
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:03
			All these things you will leave it behind
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			you. All the things that Allah have given
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
			you, you will leave it behind you.
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:35
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said that all the
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37
			ties have cut in that day.
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:41
			Cut, I need no no connections. That's why
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:42
			Allah said in the other verse,
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02
			In that day when a people run away
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:04
			from their spouse, from children,
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:07
			from family members, from brothers and sisters,
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:10
			each and every one have their own concern.
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:12
			That's why they run away.
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:18
			All these ties that connect us together,
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:19
			cut.
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:26
			I couldn't think of anything more powerful
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29
			to tell you how when you come to
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:31
			Allah and when you come to Allah, it
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33
			start by the moment you are placed in
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:34
			your grave.
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:37
			That when your akhirah start. When
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:41
			you die your kiyama start. I couldn't think
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:42
			of anything
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:47
			can represent that concept more than a scene
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:49
			that I have seen and many of you
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:49
			have.
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:53
			Who's the one who loves you the most?
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:56
			Care for you the most?
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:58
			Your parents.
		
00:09:59 --> 00:09:59
			For
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:03
			sure.
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:09
			And guess what?
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:10
			They are the 1
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:15
			May Allah give your children long life. But
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:17
			any of you have a children right now?
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20
			If one of them passed away, you will
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:22
			be the one who leave him alone in
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:22
			his
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:23
			hole.
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:26
			You the one who will purchase and dig
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:28
			that hole to leave your own son there
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:29
			and you leave.
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:32
			Your father and mother will leave you alone
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:33
			behind their back.
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:39
			What can be more
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41
			powerful picture than this?
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:45
			To make you realize the reality of this
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:45
			dunya
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:48
			and the reality of
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:52
			what Allah says.
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:58
			Each and every one will come alone.
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:00
			That's why
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:04
			if you really care about what's ahead of
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:04
			you,
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:08
			you should prepare for
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			it. Whatever you really want to receive in
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:13
			the
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:33
			and there's basically,
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:37
			with a with collecting.
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:39
			Some people collecting,
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:40
			you know money,
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:41
			possessions,
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:44
			titles, you know businesses,
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:45
			children,
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:49
			uh-uh uh-uh, fans, whatever. Everybody collecting something in
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:50
			this dunya.
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:53
			And Allah said, that be that distract you,
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:55
			that became your main concern.
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:01
			And you keep running and collecting, and running
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:03
			and collecting, and running and collecting, and building
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:06
			and building, until all of a sudden, you
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:07
			are in the graveyard.
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:11
			And you die.
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:19
			Adam
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:22
			son of Adam,
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			the son of Adam, us, children of Adam,
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:26
			us, humans.
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:29
			We keep saying, my money, my money, I
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:32
			want money. I want to secure my future.
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:33
			I want to secure my family future.
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:36
			I wanna make this. I wanna make this.
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:06
			And
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:20
			have donated
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			and that's what you have preserved.
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:27
			That's your money. Anything other than these 3
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:30
			belong to your to your inheritors.
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:35
			Anything extra than these 3, anything extra is
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:36
			not really yours. Listen
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:41
			That money that you have and you collect
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:43
			and you do, it's not yours. It's that
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:45
			belong to the one comes after you.
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:48
			And I told you that interview is something
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:49
			an amazing.
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52
			The guy who used to drive a billionaire,
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:54
			Driver.
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:56
			The billionaire died.
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:00
			And all of a sudden couple of months,
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:03
			a wedding, the driver married the widow.
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:07
			Married his widow.
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:10
			So, the interview, he became a billionaire out
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:12
			of no no way.
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:14
			Then he said, the funny things, I've been
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:16
			driving him for years and I saw how
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:18
			hard he works.
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:21
			And all these years, I was wondering how
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:24
			hard he works for himself. But today, I
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:25
			realized he was working for me.
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:31
			He was not really working for himself
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:35
			because they
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:37
			got not only the wealth, I got her
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:38
			wife too.
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:46
			So your real money is these three things
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:47
			that the prophet said.
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:51
			If you had had a hadithra Muslim,
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:53
			and
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:56
			she got a sheep.
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			Was happy that he got a sheep. You
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:01
			know, usually 3 months goes by, and there
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:04
			is no cooking at the house. So sheep
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:06
			meet, that's something rare to happen in the
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:06
			house.
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:09
			So Nabi sallallahu alaihi wa sallam came and
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:10
			said, what happened to the sheep?
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:20
			He said, You Rasulullah,
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:23
			proud of himself herself. You Rasulullah, I have
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:27
			donated the sheep. Only 1 third left.
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:38
			Perspective.
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:41
			He said to her, You the only one
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:42
			you preserve,
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:45
			the only one you didn't preserve is the
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:46
			1 third.
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:48
			The 2 third of the sheep is the
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:50
			one that you have preserved, you you have
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:51
			kept.
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:55
			That's what really you have kept for us.
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:58
			We have 2
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:00
			life.
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:04
			This dunya and the next.
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:07
			This one and the next one.
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:14
			Binas
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:16
			9 97 Hijri.
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:18
			Then he said,
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:24
			this Madina
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:27
			must be the scholars of Hadith.
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:36
			I want someone
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:39
			have met the companions, so he can tell
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:41
			us something that he heard from the companions
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:43
			about the Prophet
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:02
			the
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:04
			he called him.
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:08
			Then when Abu Hazam Tamar came to the
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:08
			king
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:12
			He told
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:20
			him why you are like, you know, not
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:21
			being nice to us?
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:24
			You know, all the scholars came and met
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:25
			me but you didn't.
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:31
			How can be a Jafwa? How can be
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:34
			not not being nice or like, you know,
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:36
			if if there is something between us, there's
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:38
			nothing between us. I didn't come because I
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:40
			never met you in my life and you
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:42
			never met me in my life and we
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:43
			don't know each other. So, I thought it's
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:45
			not appropriate for me to come.
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:53
			Then he said to him,
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:57
			Asaba Sheikh, he look at the Zuri, he
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:58
			said, your man is good.
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:03
			He's right and I'm wrong.
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:11
			Why do you think we hate death?
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:29
			Because you have ruined your
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:32
			and you have beautified your your dunya.
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:34
			You have built this dunya very well. But
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:37
			the you have corrupted it. Who wants to
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:39
			move from the well
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:43
			maintained, well, yeah, any build and taken care
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:45
			of and the beautiful place
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:47
			to a ruined place.
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:49
			Who wants to do that?
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:53
			Yeah. And if I tell you
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:56
			with all due respect, where's my man from
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:56
			Louisiana?
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:58
			Yeah.
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:00
			If I tell you, you know what? I'm
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:02
			gonna move you to Louisiana.
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:04
			Some rural place in Louisiana.
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:08
			Or Balash, Louisiana. In Louisiana, they say, thanks
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:09
			god we have Mississippi.
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:13
			Okay.
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:14
			Anyway,
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:16
			otherwise they will be
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:18
			in the bottom.
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:19
			So
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:20
			no, I love Louisiana.
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:21
			So
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:24
			if I tell you move from Houston after
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:26
			you build this nice house and you start
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:28
			your business and everything, move to Louisiana, move
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:29
			to Mississippi,
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:31
			Who wants to do that?
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:34
			I already built everything here. So he said
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:36
			to him, who want to leave the area
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:38
			and invest in it to an area he
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:41
			never gonna spend spend any investment in it.
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:42
			That's why you hate death.
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:45
			You're
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:46
			right.
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:52
			How how we will meet Allah
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:01
			The one who have done good,
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:03
			is like the one who coming to meet
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:05
			his family after a long travelling.
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:08
			And they love him and they welcoming him.
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:29
			He started cheering and crying. Then he said
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:31
			what you think we have?
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:33
			With Allah? Any what do you think Allah
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:34
			have for us?
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:49
			And that's to each and every one of
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:50
			us.
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:53
			Where I can find this in the Quran?
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:55
			Then he said, you will find it in
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:56
			what Allah said.
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:04
			Righteous people will be in good place.
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:06
			Wrongdoers.
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:11
			Those who do the haram and they don't
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:11
			care,
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:13
			they are in
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:19
			So where is Allah's mercy?
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:24
			It is where is the Allah's mercy? He
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:26
			said it's near to those who are good,
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:29
			near to those who are
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:32
			near to those who help,
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:35
			near to those who perfect their deeds.
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:40
			One of the best thing I read for
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:41
			Al Azali
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:44
			He said, we all know that Allah
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:47
			but nobody sit home and said, You Rabb,
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:48
			since you are
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:50
			give me provision.
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:54
			We all work so we receive the provision.
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:56
			And we all know that Allah is Ar
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:57
			Rahman.
		
00:21:57 --> 00:21:58
			But for somehow,
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:01
			we sit waiting for the mercy to come.
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:03
			You have also to work to earn the
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:04
			mercy.
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:06
			That's why Allah
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:07
			said
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:09
			to Harwala.
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:24
			And if you take that much of a
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:27
			step, Allah will take much bigger step towards
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:27
			you.
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:30
			That's how it works, you have to put
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:31
			up
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:37
			that's that concept is is an important concept
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:39
			to be in our mind.
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:41
			Maybe this is one of the last
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:44
			yeah. It is one of the last talk
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:45
			that I have with you in this Ramadan,
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:47
			and who knows? Maybe it's the last talk
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:47
			ever.
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:51
			May Allah give a long life with goodness
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:51
			and and health.
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:18
			The only place that you will live in
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:21
			the the the the the the the the
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:23
			the the the the the the the the
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:25
			the the the the the the the the
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:26
			the
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:31
			If you build it with goodness and righteousness,
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:33
			you will be in good.
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:35
			But if you build it and ruin it
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:38
			with with haram and and and and sins,
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:39
			you're ruined.
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:50
			You know,
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:53
			the lucky one, the one who really understand
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:54
			this concept
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:57
			and get ready for what is in front
		
00:23:57 --> 00:23:57
			of him.
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:03
			His stories are amazing.
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:07
			He
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:08
			went
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:09
			into
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:11
			like a camping.
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:15
			With his royal family members.
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:18
			And he, someone who's so dear to him,
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:20
			Abdul Aziz.
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:22
			She said, I want Anuj to come with
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:23
			us. Make sure that he comes with us.
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:25
			As a royal family, each and every one
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:29
			of these princes have what? Have soldiers, have,
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:30
			hadam,
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:33
			people work for him. That's right. You know?
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:35
			And slaves and what you name it.
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:37
			So when they go to picnic and you
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:39
			know they're gonna camp in this certain place,
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:40
			they go hunting.
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:43
			So everyone went and send his
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:46
			servants and his basically,
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:48
			crew ahead of him.
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:51
			What they did? They put the tent up,
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:53
			they made the food, they made the dinner.
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:56
			Everybody, you know, the the the the sitting
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:59
			area where they going to sleep, water, everything
		
00:24:59 --> 00:24:59
			ready.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:02
			So, when they arrive after hunting and stuff,
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:05
			everybody went to what? To their tent.
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:06
			But
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:08
			did not send anyone.
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:12
			After he rested, he realized
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:14
			did not send anyone.
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:17
			Then he asked, look for him. Where is
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:17
			he?
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:24
			We found him in the under a tree
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:25
			in tears.
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:28
			They said to him, Amir and Momineen want
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:28
			to see you.
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:31
			So he came to the Khalifa
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:32
			and he said,
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:36
			yeah, Omar what's wrong? Why you are crying?
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:46
			I was looking at your places
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:50
			for a drug to
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:09
			And those who do not
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:12
			put ahead of them something will end up
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:13
			like me.
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:27
			And I am worried that I will come
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:28
			in the day of judgement
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:30
			and I have not put
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:31
			forward
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:33
			enough
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:35
			to protect me.
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:39
			Enough to make me honored in the day
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:39
			of judgment.
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:45
			Both
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:05
			There is an appointment for each and every
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:06
			one of us.
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:15
			The the the the the the the the
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:15
			the the the the the the the the
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:15
			the the the the the the the the
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:15
			the the the the the the the the
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:15
			the the the the the the the the
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:15
			the the the the the the
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:33
			Don't be deceived by this dunya.
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:36
			Don't let the shaitan dilute you.
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:44
			Fear the day when you will return to
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:45
			your lord.
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:55
			And each and every one of you will
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:56
			be recompensed,
		
00:27:57 --> 00:27:59
			will be judged according to their deeds.
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:09
			A day when the wealth or children will
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:09
			benefit you.
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:17
			Except they'll come with a sound heart.
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:20
			And a person in that day will not
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:21
			be saved
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:25
			unless their good deeds are more than the
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:25
			bad deeds.
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:49
			Those who come in the day of judgment
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:50
			and their good deeds,
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:51
			skill is so heavy,
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:54
			they are the winners. And also their good
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:56
			deeds is light and bad deeds heavier, they
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:58
			are the one who will lose themselves to
		
00:28:58 --> 00:28:59
			hellfire.
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:02
			My brother and sisters,
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:04
			when you come to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:06
			in the day of judgment,
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:09
			the only thing that will benefit you is
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:10
			your good deeds.
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:13
			The only thing will benefit whoever can benefit
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:15
			you on that day is the people of
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:18
			Taqwa. The this the religion is the deen.
		
00:29:25 --> 00:29:26
			Those of
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:27
			the one who would intercede.
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:31
			Those of who Allah collect the family together
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:33
			after the judgement.
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:37
			My brother and sisters,
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:41
			I think it is
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:44
			essential for us to realize this fact.
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:46
			As Ramadan
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:47
			coming to an end,
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:49
			our life coming to an end.
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:53
			And we will meet Allah alone.
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:57
			That's why said
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:05
			hold yourself accountable today before Allah hold you
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:06
			accountable tomorrow.
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:15
			Allah will bring his servants in the day
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:18
			of judgement, the believing servant close to him
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:19
			in a private manners.
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:24
			So in private,
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:28
			cover him and he said,
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:37
			Do you remember the sin and this sin
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:39
			and this sin? Yes. When you when you
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:41
			back by it, when you got angry, when
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:43
			you did this, when you do that. Yes.
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:45
			When you were young, when you're full, there's
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:47
			no such thing, I'm a young and fool.
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:49
			If you are adult, you are accountable.
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:53
			Then when he mentioned all his sins,
		
00:30:55 --> 00:30:57
			he sees that he is ruined. He go
		
00:30:57 --> 00:30:58
			to hellfire.
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:01
			Then Allah said, I never exposed these sins
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:02
			in the dunya.
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:05
			And today I will forgive it for you.
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:11
			Then you will be give a book of
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:13
			good goodness. Well, the book where all his
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:15
			good deeds are. And the bad deeds will
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:16
			be wiped out.
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:25
			The hips and the disbelievers,
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:28
			the witnesses in the day of judgement, these
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:30
			these are liars. We've never really believed.
		
00:31:52 --> 00:31:53
			Will enter fire
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:54
			unless
		
00:31:55 --> 00:31:58
			I settle whatever between him and others. Even
		
00:31:58 --> 00:32:00
			if that person from Jannah, people of Jannah.
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:02
			Yeah. And even if you are from the
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:05
			people of Jannah, but you have done wrong
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:07
			to someone who belong to the hellfire,
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:08
			Allah must
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:12
			settle the matter before you go into Jannah
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:13
			and you go to he go to hellfire.
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:16
			When I am
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:30
			I will settle it between you.
		
00:32:30 --> 00:32:32
			Yeah Allah, we come in the day of
		
00:32:32 --> 00:32:34
			judgement, no money. How can I pay him?
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:36
			Subhanah.
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:38
			At that time.
		
00:32:42 --> 00:32:44
			The currency in the day of judgment is
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:46
			good, is the reward, and the sins.
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:49
			That's the currency.
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:51
			That's why Allah says,
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:56
			My servant,
		
00:32:57 --> 00:32:58
			it is your good deeds.
		
00:32:59 --> 00:32:59
			I collected.
		
00:33:00 --> 00:33:01
			I counted.
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:03
			If you find good,
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:06
			praise no one except Allah and thank no
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:07
			one except Allah.
		
00:33:08 --> 00:33:10
			And if you find evil and bad,
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:12
			don't blame anyone except yourself.
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:15
			You know?
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:41
			Drinking and stuff like that.
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:45
			He has a friend. He always comes to
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:47
			advise him And
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:48
			to remind him. Fear
		
00:33:49 --> 00:33:51
			Allah, fear all. His friend died.
		
00:34:22 --> 00:34:24
			When he saw him in his grave alone,
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:27
			he said that more powerful,
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:31
			your advice to me now while you cannot
		
00:34:31 --> 00:34:34
			talk, while you're not talking, while you're silent,
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:36
			is more powerful
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:38
			than all the advices that you gave me
		
00:34:38 --> 00:34:40
			when you used to talk
		
00:34:41 --> 00:34:43
			and you used to remind me.
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:45
			Me.
		
00:34:48 --> 00:34:49
			Allah is my witness.
		
00:34:51 --> 00:34:53
			I didn't choose to speak about this
		
00:34:56 --> 00:34:57
			just to make you feel bad or to
		
00:34:57 --> 00:34:59
			feel good or to
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:02
			so I can solicit funds
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:03
			from you.
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:06
			I don't care if I don't if I
		
00:35:06 --> 00:35:08
			don't collect a dollar.
		
00:35:11 --> 00:35:12
			But if this
		
00:35:13 --> 00:35:14
			if these words
		
00:35:15 --> 00:35:17
			can save somebody in the day of judgment,
		
00:35:17 --> 00:35:19
			that's all what I care for.
		
00:35:20 --> 00:35:22
			It's more important than anything else tonight.
		
00:35:23 --> 00:35:26
			These words can change your behavior and your
		
00:35:26 --> 00:35:27
			perspective of the duniya.
		
00:35:28 --> 00:35:30
			That will be the best thing that I
		
00:35:30 --> 00:35:30
			can achieve.
		
00:35:32 --> 00:35:33
			Because then Allah
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:34
			will take care of us, will take care
		
00:35:34 --> 00:35:35
			of the master.
		
00:35:37 --> 00:35:39
			But I know on 27th, the hearts are
		
00:35:39 --> 00:35:40
			soft.
		
00:35:43 --> 00:35:45
			And we only make this kind of once
		
00:35:45 --> 00:35:46
			a month.
		
00:35:48 --> 00:35:50
			Because if you do it more than that,
		
00:35:50 --> 00:35:51
			you became
		
00:35:51 --> 00:35:51
			ineffective.
		
00:35:56 --> 00:35:57
			But I'm still giving a fundraise.
		
00:36:00 --> 00:36:02
			As I'm just clear on my intention.
		
00:36:02 --> 00:36:04
			I'm telling you what is it.
		
00:36:06 --> 00:36:07
			I ask you today,
		
00:36:09 --> 00:36:12
			I don't get anything personally. You know that.
		
00:36:13 --> 00:36:14
			I ask you today
		
00:36:15 --> 00:36:18
			to give for that day that's ahead of
		
00:36:18 --> 00:36:18
			you.
		
00:36:19 --> 00:36:22
			I ask you today to prepare yourself for
		
00:36:22 --> 00:36:22
			the day.
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:26
			I ask you so
		
00:36:26 --> 00:36:28
			to prepare yourself for the day when you
		
00:36:28 --> 00:36:30
			leave this dunya behind you. And in that
		
00:36:30 --> 00:36:32
			moment, you can't give, you can't do anything.
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:35
			Allah said that when people die, they said,
		
00:36:35 --> 00:36:37
			I wish I can come back to the
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:38
			duniya to give
		
00:36:38 --> 00:36:39
			for a siddiq.
		
00:36:42 --> 00:36:43
			So I can give, and I'll be among
		
00:36:43 --> 00:36:44
			those who give
		
00:36:45 --> 00:36:45
			help.
		
00:36:49 --> 00:36:50
			I hope that we
		
00:36:51 --> 00:36:52
			truly
		
00:36:56 --> 00:36:56
			sincere
		
00:36:57 --> 00:36:59
			when we say we love the akhirah, and
		
00:36:59 --> 00:37:01
			the akhirah means to us so much.
		
00:37:02 --> 00:37:03
			I ask you tonight
		
00:37:04 --> 00:37:05
			to be so generous with us,
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:08
			And I ask you tonight to give while
		
00:37:08 --> 00:37:10
			your heart full of
		
00:37:11 --> 00:37:13
			love and fear and hope and ask Allah
		
00:37:13 --> 00:37:16
			by this donation that Allah protect you.
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:19
			Because you are giving to his house.
		
00:37:20 --> 00:37:21
			You're giving for his sake.
		
00:37:22 --> 00:37:25
			You're giving for the causes that he loves.
		
00:37:27 --> 00:37:28
			I wanna say
		
00:37:29 --> 00:37:32
			that it touched my heart and maybe that's
		
00:37:32 --> 00:37:33
			one of the reason it inspired me to
		
00:37:33 --> 00:37:35
			talk about this tonight.
		
00:37:36 --> 00:37:38
			That one of the first pledges that I
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:39
			saw,
		
00:37:40 --> 00:37:42
			it's a blood pledge written
		
00:37:42 --> 00:37:43
			the name in it.
		
00:37:45 --> 00:37:47
			Someone who's dear to all of us,
		
00:37:47 --> 00:37:49
			many of us who knows him,
		
00:37:49 --> 00:37:51
			who passed away a while ago.
		
00:37:52 --> 00:37:54
			But when I saw his name as a
		
00:37:54 --> 00:37:54
			donor,
		
00:37:56 --> 00:37:57
			it just touched my heart.
		
00:37:58 --> 00:38:00
			And I said, I wish that I would
		
00:38:00 --> 00:38:01
			have children
		
00:38:01 --> 00:38:02
			of mine
		
00:38:03 --> 00:38:05
			will be like his.
		
00:38:06 --> 00:38:08
			I wish that I can leave behind me
		
00:38:08 --> 00:38:09
			a wealth
		
00:38:09 --> 00:38:10
			that will continue
		
00:38:12 --> 00:38:14
			to be a source of salakah.
		
00:38:16 --> 00:38:17
			Way after I die.
		
00:38:19 --> 00:38:20
			Which is doctor Abu
		
00:38:42 --> 00:38:44
			Such an inspiring thing to see,
		
00:38:44 --> 00:38:46
			an inspiring thing to start with.
		
00:38:48 --> 00:38:50
			Another person told me, Sheikh,
		
00:38:51 --> 00:38:52
			I'm committed for $36,000.
		
00:38:56 --> 00:38:57
			May Allah
		
00:38:58 --> 00:38:59
			give him,
		
00:39:00 --> 00:39:01
			blessed him
		
00:39:01 --> 00:39:03
			and blessed his wealth and his family.
		
00:39:04 --> 00:39:06
			I mean, he said, Sheikh, every day, I
		
00:39:06 --> 00:39:07
			will be,
		
00:39:08 --> 00:39:10
			you know, or every week, I will be
		
00:39:10 --> 00:39:11
			giving, like, $500
		
00:39:11 --> 00:39:13
			for the rest of the year.
		
00:39:15 --> 00:39:17
			And another person came to me and he
		
00:39:17 --> 00:39:18
			said,
		
00:39:18 --> 00:39:20
			I'm committed for $20,000.
		
00:39:22 --> 00:39:23
			He said,
		
00:39:23 --> 00:39:24
			you can count on me.
		
00:39:25 --> 00:39:27
			And another person came to me who's young
		
00:39:27 --> 00:39:28
			man.
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:30
			I'm
		
00:39:31 --> 00:39:33
			not sure if he's in his, like, thirties
		
00:39:33 --> 00:39:35
			or not yet, but if he's in early
		
00:39:35 --> 00:39:36
			early thirties.
		
00:39:36 --> 00:39:38
			And then Nabi sahlam said, the best sadaqa,
		
00:39:38 --> 00:39:40
			the one that comes from someone who have
		
00:39:40 --> 00:39:42
			life ahead of him,
		
00:39:42 --> 00:39:44
			fears poverty, fear, you know, have a lot
		
00:39:44 --> 00:39:46
			of yeah. Masha'Allah, long life ahead of him,
		
00:39:46 --> 00:39:47
			but yet he gives.
		
00:39:49 --> 00:39:50
			And he said, Sheikh, he count me for
		
00:39:50 --> 00:39:51
			$15,000.
		
00:39:52 --> 00:39:53
			Young man.
		
00:39:58 --> 00:40:00
			And I have another person came to me
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:01
			and he said,
		
00:40:01 --> 00:40:02
			and that's person, masha'Allah,
		
00:40:03 --> 00:40:05
			him and his wife, may Allah bless them
		
00:40:05 --> 00:40:05
			both,
		
00:40:06 --> 00:40:08
			been giving every week $10,000
		
00:40:09 --> 00:40:10
			so far.
		
00:40:11 --> 00:40:12
			So that's about $50,000
		
00:40:13 --> 00:40:15
			almost. If it's if it's not 50, please
		
00:40:15 --> 00:40:16
			make it 50.
		
00:40:22 --> 00:40:24
			I'm just I don't know. I think it's
		
00:40:24 --> 00:40:25
			50.
		
00:40:26 --> 00:40:28
			But I might be mistaken and it's 40.
		
00:40:28 --> 00:40:29
			But anyway,
		
00:40:32 --> 00:40:33
			you know, there is a brother here in
		
00:40:33 --> 00:40:36
			the Masjid. Once I I made a fundraising,
		
00:40:36 --> 00:40:38
			and I said, okay. I will I and
		
00:40:38 --> 00:40:40
			I I clay I said he will match
		
00:40:40 --> 00:40:41
			whatever,
		
00:40:41 --> 00:40:42
			and I said it's $70,000.
		
00:40:43 --> 00:40:46
			Anyway, he end up his tab was a
		
00:40:46 --> 00:40:48
			120,000, something like that. And he came to
		
00:40:48 --> 00:40:49
			me and said, did
		
00:40:50 --> 00:40:53
			you read this correctly or you just like?
		
00:40:53 --> 00:40:55
			I said, just like what?
		
00:40:55 --> 00:40:57
			He said, read it. So I read it.
		
00:40:57 --> 00:40:58
			I read it wrong.
		
00:40:59 --> 00:41:01
			I thought he's gonna match everything.
		
00:41:01 --> 00:41:02
			And I said,
		
00:41:04 --> 00:41:05
			whatever you give
		
00:41:07 --> 00:41:09
			me. So instead of giving me a 120,
		
00:41:09 --> 00:41:10
			I still remember that. He gave me a
		
00:41:10 --> 00:41:10
			100 and
		
00:41:12 --> 00:41:13
			80 or something like that. And he said
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:15
			something to me that give me goosebumps every
		
00:41:15 --> 00:41:16
			time.
		
00:41:17 --> 00:41:19
			He said, Sheikh Khaled, I don't think you
		
00:41:19 --> 00:41:20
			have made that
		
00:41:22 --> 00:41:23
			number by mistake.
		
00:41:25 --> 00:41:27
			I think Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala was trying
		
00:41:27 --> 00:41:28
			to teach me
		
00:41:29 --> 00:41:32
			that I'm capable of doing more than what
		
00:41:32 --> 00:41:33
			I said that day.
		
00:41:33 --> 00:41:35
			And he have made you speak that in
		
00:41:35 --> 00:41:36
			your tongue.
		
00:41:36 --> 00:41:39
			And I consider this a message from Allah
		
00:41:39 --> 00:41:41
			to me. Telling me I know what you
		
00:41:41 --> 00:41:42
			have and I know you can do more
		
00:41:42 --> 00:41:44
			than what this what you said.
		
00:41:47 --> 00:41:49
			That's that's iman.
		
00:41:49 --> 00:41:50
			That feeling,
		
00:41:51 --> 00:41:54
			that feeling is more rewarding than the money
		
00:41:54 --> 00:41:54
			itself.
