			Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala Mala Nebia by the Hoonah Vienna Muhammad sinuata early or Sahibi
was salam, ala Houma to Sleeman, Kathira and my bad, all praise due to Allah and His praise and
blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam, his family,
his companions and his followers until the Day of Judgment, I bear witness that Allah is the only
one worthy of worship, and Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam his last and final messenger, my
dear brothers and sisters, enjoy the little things in life.
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:58
			For one day, you will look back and realize they were the big things.
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:09
			When I read this first time, this code and the first time it really stuck with me. And the more I
think about it, I see it makes a lot of sense.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:55
			These little things in life, when you look back at it, later on, you will find them that they are
big things and meant a lot for you. So matter of fact, it's interesting. When you usually try to
remember things, you always remember small little things like a moments, you remember a specific
incidents, even the Sahaba of the Allahu Anhu sometimes when they try to have a moment of nostalgia,
they will mention little small things. He held my hands on alladia salah, he put here basically
patting me on my back, Salah is Allah He came in, he hugged me from behind me, these little things
meant a lot to them that after decades, they still remember
		
00:01:56 --> 00:02:04
			come. And in many different areas. This issue is not in one aspects of life.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:48
			And I want to talk today about how important it is to care about these things. That might be called
small or little but indeed they are not. They mean a lot and they can add up to be something very
great. Come out in a salon Romina Zulu boom, rotted Zulu either to man Allah Allah Abdul Malik Anna
who come up call and abuse or Salam. For in us Allah Iran Hassan Assad, either terminal Illa Abdi
and Jaina who yarmulke Yama as the small sons and minor sins. When you collect so many of them the
prophets are solid said it will take you straight to hellfire.
		
00:02:49 --> 00:03:30
			And the other hand also we understand from the same Hadith. We understand that also these little
small good deeds that you do every day and you accumulate them it will save you in the day of
judgment and it will raise your level in Jannah pile individual Salam Elif Lam Meem be Cooley how
finacially Hasina la Apollo Alif Lam Meem health well I can elephant health when I'm on hard for me

			for Sinatra who Sinatra to hula hula halwa, Robert Northam got a poor person who's blind. So Robbie,
his wife was making food and like some dessert or cake for him.
		
00:03:53 --> 00:04:00
			Then Robert, when he took the sweet he started making sure it looks nice and fits perfect and
everything looks good.
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:12
			For Connington Molotow who I am What are you doing his blind? Why do you care about decorating it so
much? Paula kin Allah ha yes no era?
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:27
			Yes, he might not see but Allah does that little things, even to the extent that he making sure that
this is presented in the most perfect way. It shows a sense of attitude.
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:38
			And that's why my brother and sisters success in general, is the sum of a lot of small things been
done correctly.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:59
			The true people who achieved success in life and they achieve excellence in big things are the
people who develop the habit in little you know matters because excellency is not an exceptional
Excellency and success is that he
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:46
			Zolt have the habit of caring about doing things correct and doing things in the best way.
Developing that habit is so important. Having that attitude. It is so important for us as Muslims.
And if we look at our religion and way of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, you will see that
this is something that the Shediac cared for it so much, and it's very interesting. And we look at
the model for us, which is Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Look, for example, cannot eat an
adult who Raju SallAllahu Sallam Lal Tuffy to La he suddenly Belial tivity relay he besonderer
SallAllahu sallam. When someone called the prophets of salaam he will not just say yes like this and
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:55
			turn his cheek. He will turn his whole chest to basically be in front of the person and talk to him.
		
00:05:56 --> 00:06:24
			A lot of things but it matters. It shows how much he cares salatu salam when some Salah Salem Shake
somebody's hand cannula true Creator Rajamouli Hatay. Hakuna Willa theatrical Awada when you shake
somebody's hand you will not leave somebody's hands until the person leaves first. Today you got
lucky if you got even a shake hand you're lucky if you got an eye contact for you know three
seconds. Yeah.
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:30
			And he's like already gone over to give you like the tip of his finger.
		
00:06:31 --> 00:07:03
			It just not paying that attention to you when he gives you how many times the Sahaba said the first
thing they saw the pros when they saw the process on him every time not one not occasionally not
rarely, every time you practice him you smile at them so a lot is a limb when he speaks to someone
Salah Salem and someone speaks to him he will never cut that person off. He will wait until the
finish the person finished completely. And he said even to the gallery Dublin Marina which is for
ANA the Luma pilot, I believe are you finished?
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:12
			Making sure that he's not going to interrupt the person in front of him. You're going to Ben gerade
had Destiny APA
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:24
			and the who called in originally you had this in you will Hadith first me Rhoda. Who can you? Oh
well Amara estimated Hadith. Well, Anna submitted to Coppola, Newland.
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:45
			I thought I'm gonna be on my back. And that's the Tobia of the companions. He's a student of an
ibis. He said, a young man will come and narrate for me a hadith and I will listen to it so
attentively, as if I am Yanni listening to it the first time I heard this hadith before this young
man was even born.
		
00:07:47 --> 00:08:12
			But that's how the Tobia that's how the etiquettes that how that the care about these small things,
and indeed or not. So surely I said when someone gives you salaam, it is in Islam, it is an
obligatory on YouTube, and total Debbie Metheny how Asad Amina and he somebody said What's why the
Allah Subhana Allah Allah above his throne cares about when someone greed you how you respond.
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:21
			He said you respond equal or more, not less. And if I said to you As Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah
you can say welcome. Some
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:32
			have to say why they come with cinema Rahmatullah or you add or Baraka. That's why sometimes they
get a little bit annoyed and email somebody. I said, I'm on a coma Rahmatullah what I got. Now I
have to write.
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:38
			It's too long to write. take too much time. But I have to
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:44
			that so come up with a technical Asara masala Anisha manpower.
		
00:08:46 --> 00:09:11
			So the point is that Allah cares about this that's to me that's making sure that we care about these
things. On a Nabi SallAllahu Sallam let Anna Justinian do natality Huma became Leia isn't that even
Massoud was say when three people together they should not to have them talk to each other and
privately and the third person left out why because that will make that person feel bad
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:14
			and matter
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:16
			and it's a sin
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:22
			and it's not just an easy thing no a Sharia have ruled about it.

			And, you know, I don't like it. It's bad. That's our kids. Unfortunately, we not caring about even
these little small kids and older. Making these kind of comments. No, the person would never
criticize the food that provided them either Shehu Akella were either LM yesterday Tanaka if he

for you and embroider to you, either you let that servant sit and eat with you, or do you give him
some from the food and the Hadith in Sahih Bukhari and in the narration in southern New magia. He
said, because that servant is the one who cook it, who dealt with the fire dealt with the heat, and
with all the effort at least give him some see that thing should not go unnoticed. Even though he's
your servant.
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:59
			That you make sure that you give the person you share with the person the food
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:13
			and maybe salsa lamb praying. And he said, I will pray and my intention to have a good long prayer.
But I hear the child crying in the back of the Messenger SAW will make the solar so short.
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:21
			Why? Because his mum worry about him because the child is looking for his mother.
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:38

00:17:10 --> 00:17:13
			I wanted to be more specific about small things matter
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:16
			in the messenger to
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:19
			smiling at someone passing by you.
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:22
			You know,
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:25
			not cutting someone out in the parking lot.
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:28
			giving someone an opportunity to go
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:47
			not pushing the parking lot guy on he said, Hey, please go there, even if you don't agree with him.
But you know, it's not gonna harm me. But I will be you know, I can talk about it later. But I will
respect that the line behind me just being patient with others not being wasteful.
		
00:17:49 --> 00:18:04
			Also, one of the thing is, you know, means a lot when we have a guest, and somebody comes in he say
when I traveled to muster, and somebody comes Hey, Sarika What's your name? Thank you. Your hope was
good. I really benefited from your hotbar
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:13
			or somebody, Hey, you lost hope. Oh, by the way, that was very good. I learned this. I share this
with my family. These things makes huge impact on people's
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:15
			feelings.
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:23
			And it developing a habit of goodness. And a good connection. Good attitude. Good luck.
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:25
			You know,
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:31
			last week, we had guests and the mustard
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:35
			coming from overseas, Muslims and non Muslims.
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:47
			And as much as I was so happy because they were so proud. They told me this is the best mustard
we've been to and there's so many good compliments. As much as I was so happy with that. I was also
in the pain
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:49
			last week,
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:59
			even though I'm paying with this for a while, but last week really hurts me the most. Because it's
not only in house, this is now
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:03
			Afghani visitors coming
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:08
			in the salon, the salon, were amazed by how quiet you guys are.
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:14
			The moods that somebody got this turned to be like, you know, marketplace.
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:17
			Fish Market.
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:21
			And that's not acceptable.
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:27
			I am the same person who was talking in the member who was talking under microphone.
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:30
			I stopped my evil twin.
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:32
			That's me.
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:43
			I'm talking telling Hey, by the way they have theirs 123 You don't want to hear the announcement.
It's up to you. You can go but he don't have the right to talk while I'm talking.
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:48
			That's more things matter.
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:59
			You don't have the right to be talking and the echo of your voice going wild. There's somebody
trying to pray there sooner.
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:02
			That's not correct
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:14
			and I think that we need to be more responsible about these small things because that what's really
sometimes shape who you are as a community
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:32
			is we care about not to leave a shoes I don't think somebody died if we're going to leave one single
shoes in front of the masala but it does because we all do that it became look nice we look it's
safe for everybody those who are you know want to get out quickly somebody handicap you know, same
thing
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:49
			I would just want to make a rule that we all agree upon. There is no more talking raising voice
inside the Salah prayer area after Salah you want to talk when you will reach to where the shoes
area is, talk as much as you want.
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:56
			And here it is completely soft. Some people like me, I'm by nature loud person.
		
00:20:57 --> 00:21:06
			So we try to, to minimize this to the minimum. And especially when the announcement make because
it's really feel so bad. I wish
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:16
			I can do that. But I feel embarrassed. All the people always see them talking one day I asked him to
do the announcement, you're reading and everybody's like
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:19
			talking or like not giving you attention.
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:30
			So these little things also matter in the mustard. And we cannot live like double life. We should be
consistent in our
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:32
			these areas.
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:50
			Why little things matter? Because it means that if you care about the small things you will care
about the big things. And also when you care about those things when it comes to dealing with
people. It means that you really care about that person, respect that person. Things really don't
matter what matters is people.
		
00:21:51 --> 00:22:34
			So I asked Allah subhanaw taala to do was make us among, I'm not aiming for basics. I consider us as
a community a role model. And I will hold ourselves to the highest standard. That's I'm very open
about this and talking about it like this with you guys. And I will not get tired from reminding and
I have nothing like 100 I love each and every one of you the most. I think we're the one of the best
community ever seen in my life. But you know what, that's how it goes. We push each other and I will
highly recommend you to listen to my list second hotbar online because of my alert my second
football talk is in details about some of the evidence related to that issue of the ruling of
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:39
			talking in the mussten raising voice in the mustard and I highly recommend you to listen to it
online.
		
00:22:41 --> 00:23:04
			To kind of complete one another to do we have a shortage of Imam so I'm giving the two hookless 100
