00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			wa barakatuhu wa rahmatullahi wa barak alhamdulillah, thumma
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:43
			alhamdulillah, all the thanks and praises are due
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			to Allah Ta'ala who gathered us on
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			this wonderful occasion, this beautiful day of Jumu
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			'ah, the best day of the week.
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:51
			Allah blessed us with His favour, subhanAllah, and
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			many others are deprived of this favour.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54
			And that's why we are of those, the
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			Ummah of Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, who show
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:57
			gratitude to Allah Ta'ala.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			And every week we show gratitude, inshaAllah Allah
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			will return us to these beautiful places.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			Ameen Ya Rabbal Alameen.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:05
			And today, subhanAllah, we speak about something very
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			very interesting, mashaAllah.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:12
			And our topic is, it's a unique one,
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			right?
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:16
			To see the test that Allah Ta'ala
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			placed upon the shoulders of the people.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			What if Allah tests us with the truth?
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:25
			Because normally what we feel is if we
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:28
			are tested, it's either a calamity, it's poverty,
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			or it's an accident, or a loss of
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			life, or loss of life.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			These and this we feel as being calamities
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37
			and being trials and tests.
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:41
			But if we think about Ibrahim alayhi sallallahu
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			alayhi wa sallam, for example in the Qur
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:48
			'an, and mashaAllah it's a nice quiz, who
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			knows where is the first place that Allah
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			Ta'ala mentioned Ibrahim alayhi sallallahu alayhi wa
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			sallam in the Qur'an?
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			Suratul Baqarah.
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:56
			Anybody knows?
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:57
			Ufad.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:01:59
			Just one?
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			Verse number 124.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:06
			Ibrahim.
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			Allah Ta'ala speak to Ibrahim and look
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:11
			what Allah start of the life and the
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			mentioning of Ibrahim alayhi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:13
			with.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:18
			وَإِذْ ذِبْتَ لَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ رَبُّهُ بِكَلِمَاتٍ فَأَتَمَّهُنَّ Allah
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			Ta'ala says that.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:21
			And mention of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:24
			when Ibrahim was tried by his Lord with,
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			they say, kalimat.
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			Allah Ta'ala mentions kalimat, right?
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:31
			And it fulfilled him.
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			فَأَتَمَّهُنَّ Allah Ta'ala says.
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			And that is why I mentioned that sometimes
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37
			we feel that the trials and the tests,
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:39
			and if we listen to how Ibrahim was
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			tested, it was by kalimat.
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:45
			Allah Ta'ala did not mention that we
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			trial Ibrahim alayhi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam with
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:52
			him through his father being thrown into the
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:52
			fire.
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:54
			That's a calamity, that's a trial.
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:58
			Allah Ta'ala don't mention about Ibrahim alayhi
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:02
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam's trial with regards to
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			his son Ismail alayhi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:05
			that he had to slaughter.
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			But Allah said kalimat.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10
			And the mufassireen speaks about the word kalimat.
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:11
			What is the kalimat?
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			It is al-ahd.
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:17
			It is the covenant that we have with
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			Allah Ta'ala.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			The covenant of la ilaha illallah.
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:26
			So amazing how Allah Ta'ala introduced the
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:30
			grandfather of anbiya, the great great great grandfather
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			And Allah Ta'ala introduced him by saying
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:38
			that we have trialed and tested Ibrahim alayhi
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam with kalimat, with the
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			ahd, with the covenant.
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:45
			And he fulfilled it.
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:49
			What is our ahd with Allah Ta'ala?
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			Every day when something happens to us, we
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:54
			complain.
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			Why is this happening to me?
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:00
			But we have a covenant with Allah Ta
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:00
			'ala.
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			And our covenant is when we say la
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:08
			ilaha illallah, we accept everything from Allah Ta
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:08
			'ala.
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:10
			With the good or with the bad.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:11
			And how does Allah test us?
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:12
			Allah says in the Qur'an.
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:14
			Right?
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:21
			Allah Ta'ala, He tests us in hardship
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:25
			and Allah Ta'ala tests us in ease.
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:30
			So mashallah, there is a beautiful statement of
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:33
			Abdurrahman ibn Auf when he mentions, and this
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:37
			is a sahabi, and look at the acknowledgement
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:38
			of a sahabi.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			We complain mashallah, but we acknowledge.
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			So the sahabi Abdurrahman ibn Auf, and we
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:47
			all know the story of Abdurrahman ibn Auf.
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			There is no one today that can claim
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			that he is more rich than Abdurrahman ibn
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:52
			Auf.
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:56
			No matter how much wealth you have today,
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:57
			you can be the richest guy and all
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			of them together, they will never come close
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:01
			to the wealth that Abdurrahman ibn Auf has
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:02
			possessed in his life.
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:04
			And for some of us it is difficult
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:04
			to fathom.
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:06
			But who says this?
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:08
			He himself says this.
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10
			Rasulullah ﷺ speaks about him like this.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:12
			So we are Muslim and we accept that.
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			He was one of the most rich ashab
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:18
			of Rasulullah ﷺ, but he was one of
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20
			the sahaba that used to give in the
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			cause of Allah all the time.
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:23
			All the time.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			He never blinked when there was a need
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:27
			for this ummah.
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:30
			When the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ had a call,
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			he did nothing twice.
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:35
			Another one of the sahaba that was like
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:35
			that, anybody knows?
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:38
			Uthman ibn Affan.
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:39
			Till today there is a waqf.
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:41
			If you go to Medina, you see the
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:45
			building of the waqf of Uthman ibn Affan.
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:48
			Up until today, it is looking after students.
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:52
			Up until today, it maintains the haram.
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:56
			That haram that was, you know the original
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:59
			haram is about 35 kilometers I think in
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:00
			diameter.
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			How huge is the haram of Medina today?
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:04
			Why?
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:09
			The sacrifice of Uthman ibn Affan who contributed
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:12
			and expanded not only in Medina but also
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:12
			in Mecca.
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:14
			He contributed, subhanallah.
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18
			Can you imagine on his scale of good?
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:23
			Till today, the haram is being sustained by
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:23
			his wealth.
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:27
			That's why today we think we drive a
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:29
			posh car, we live in a posh house,
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:33
			we're living the life, the gucci's.
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:35
			What's the techies nowadays?
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:36
			I don't know.
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:37
			My time was diesel.
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:38
			I was a diesel guy myself.
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			I wasn't Vin Diesel, but I was a
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:41
			diesel guy.
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:45
			So, Versace.
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:48
			What is it today?
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:49
			Fabiani.
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:50
			That's today.
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:52
			I wish I can buy me Fabiani.
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:53
			It's just a wish.
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			And then when I wish and I realize
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:56
			that it's too expensive for me, I say
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			Allah, in the akhirah when I have better
		
00:06:58 --> 00:06:58
			than this.
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:02
			And I feel good again, mashallah.
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:04
			Now we're going to drape it in the
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:04
			akhirah, guys.
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			We're going to yak it out, inshallah.
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:08
			We're going to wear nice, mashallah.
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			Your wife is not going to recognize you
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:11
			and your husband is not going to recognize
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			you, just because the way that you yak
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:14
			it.
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:17
			And you're not only going to yak it
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:18
			with clothes, you're going to yak it with
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			a nose and eyes and hair, mashallah.
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:21
			You're going to even go buy that at
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:22
			the market.
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:23
			Allahu Akbar.
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			It seems funny, but it's the truth.
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:30
			You can beautify yourself in the marketplace in
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:31
			jannah.
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:31
			Yourself.
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:36
			I wonder who everybody want to look like.
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:41
			That day I'm going to say, although you
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43
			are a loveable supporter, you like this style
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:44
			and this drape, mashallah.
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:46
			Allah bless, Allah bless, inshallah.
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:50
			But if Abdurrahman ibn Aufi says, مُبْتَلِينَا فِي
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:55
			الدَّرَّةِ فَصَبَرْنَا That when we were tested with
		
00:07:55 --> 00:08:01
			difficulty, فَصَبَرْنَا Then we practice patience.
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:06
			So he understood and he mentions to us,
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:09
			in order for us to reflect, that when
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11
			we are, and normally this is the case,
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:16
			when we are afflicted with difficulty, فَصَبَرْنَا We
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			do patience because that's the natural thing to
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20
			do when we listen to what Allah says.
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:21
			But look at him, he confesses, he says,
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:27
			مُبْتَلِينَا فِي الدَّرَّةِ فَلَمْ يَصْبِرْنَا He says, but
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:32
			when we were tested with ease, then we
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34
			never practiced patience.
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:36
			And is that not us?
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39
			When things are going good, Allah is the
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:40
			furthest from our mind.
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:42
			No, then it's I.
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:44
			I did this, it's mine.
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:46
			Do you know who I am?
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:48
			And all the statements come.
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:50
			And the chest grows a bit bigger.
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:52
			And the muscles become a bit, you know.
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:55
			My grand used to say, لُبْيَمَتْ اِلْتَىٰ وَنَسَىٰ
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:57
			عَرْمْس You know?
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:58
			You know what's ilta?
		
00:08:58 --> 00:08:59
			I don't know what's ilta in English.
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:00
			What is that?
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:02
			You know what's ilta in English?
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:03
			I don't know.
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:04
			It's like that hard stuff you get on
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:05
			your fingers, yeah.
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:08
			Calluses, calluses, yes.
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:09
			My gran used to say, look how he's
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:12
			walking with calluses under his armpits there.
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:13
			You know, he's growing that.
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:14
			Subhanallah.
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:15
			Why is he walking like that?
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:16
			They didn't like it.
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:19
			Our elders never liked for people to push
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:20
			out their chests.
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:23
			Because Allah says in the Quran, what?
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:25
			That don't walk on the earth.
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:29
			وَلَا تَمْشِي فِي الْأَرْضِ مَرْحًا Don't walk on
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:30
			the earth like that.
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:32
			Allah ta'ala despise people that walks like
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:33
			that, boastful.
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:34
			Subhanallah.
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:37
			And Allah ta'ala protect us from that.
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:38
			But yeah, listen.
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:44
			We should not only practice patience when we
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:45
			are trialed with difficulties.
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:47
			Because when we are in difficulty, we know
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:48
			who to turn to.
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:50
			We turn to Allah.
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:53
			We cry to Allah ta'ala for ease.
		
00:09:53 --> 00:10:02
			And when the ease come, now, Then we
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:03
			didn't practice patience.
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05
			And this is a shortcoming from us as
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:06
			humans.
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:11
			Even in good times, practice patience.
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:13
			Be grateful.
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:16
			Because you have it today.
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:20
			But Allah is all-powerful.
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:21
			Tomorrow you might have nothing.
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:24
			Tomorrow you might look down on somebody that
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:25
			has nothing.
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:28
			Tomorrow Allah makes that one somebody.
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:30
			And then you have nothing.
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:33
			This is Allah ta'ala's way that Allah
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:33
			teach us.
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:37
			Through the great guys in their minds.
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:39
			They thought that they were the greatest of
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:40
			people.
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:42
			And who did they look down at?
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:45
			At the anbiya that were the most humble
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:45
			of people.
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:47
			And what did they want to do?
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:49
			They wanted to wipe them off the surface
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:50
			of the earth.
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:52
			And then Allah ta'ala turn the tides.
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55
			Then Musa became one that we mentioned today,
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:57
			in a state of izzah and honor.
		
00:10:58 --> 00:10:59
			Of reverence we speak about.
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:00
			He is a Nabi Musa.
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:02
			Subhanallah.
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:05
			There is no one that cannot know the
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:06
			story of Nabi Musa.
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:08
			Alayhi Salatu Wassalam.
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11
			But if you speak about Firaun, the only
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:13
			thing we hear about Firaun is, what a
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:14
			tyrant he was.
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:16
			All the worst things we hear about him.
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:20
			He couldn't even be buried under the ground,
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:21
			because the ground don't want him.
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:23
			Allah kept him above the surface of the
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:24
			earth to show us this grace.
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:26
			What this grace truly is.
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:28
			And you think you can stand in the
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:29
			footsteps of Allah?
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:31
			Think you can play Allah and judge people
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33
			the way Allah judge people?
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:34
			Then that is your destiny.
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:35
			Allah is teaching us.
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:37
			So be careful, don't walk in his footsteps.
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:40
			But ajeeb, sometimes today we still feel that
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:40
			we are powerful.
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:43
			We have no power when Allah protect us.
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:46
			So Allah ta'ala, the greatest, He says
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:48
			that the greatest test that Allah ta'ala
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:49
			speak about is the test of the ahd.
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:51
			Of la ilaha illallah.
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:53
			And this is the truth.
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:54
			This is our test.
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:56
			Allah test us with the truth everyday.
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:58
			With that ahd.
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:02
			When Allah ta'ala asked us, Alastu bi
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:02
			rabbikum?
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:05
			Am I not your lord?
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:07
			Allah ta'ala asked us before creation were
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:08
			even sent down to earth.
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			In the alamatul arwah, we were there together.
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:13
			And in one and in unison we said,
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:14
			What?
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:16
			Bala, ya rabbi shahidna.
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:19
			We bear testimony that you are our lord
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:19
			Allah.
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:21
			And then when we come to the earth,
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:23
			we take everything else as our lord.
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:27
			We consider our own efforts.
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:29
			We do what we want.
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:32
			You know, like the yahood, the Bani Israel,
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:33
			in the time.
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:34
			Can you imagine this?
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:37
			Allah ta'ala fed them from jannah.
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:40
			How I wish that can happen.
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:44
			Allah say, Allah send the food for them
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:47
			from the samah on a table decorated for
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:47
			them from jannah.
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:49
			Allahu akbar.
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:52
			How I wish that table can come down.
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:54
			You know, imagine you eat the fruit of
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:54
			jannah.
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:56
			You eat the food of jannah on this
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:56
			earth.
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:57
			There is nothing else that you are going
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:58
			to want to eat after that.
		
00:12:58 --> 00:12:59
			You want to eat the food of jannah
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:00
			everyday.
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:01
			They had the food of jannah.
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:03
			What did they tell Allah?
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:05
			Ya rabbi, we don't want this.
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:06
			We want to plant our own seeds.
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:09
			We want to water it and we want
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:09
			to make profits.
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:12
			What an arrogant nation it was.
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			They were not grateful to the ni'm.
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:17
			To the favours that Allah bestowed upon them.
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:18
			And Allah snatched it away.
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:19
			And now today, who is suffering?
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:21
			Ya Allah, how can we be like this?
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			What suffers on my earth today.
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:24
			Subhanallah.
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:28
			You know, because of the weakness of being
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:28
			human.
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:30
			And that's what we need to understand.
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:32
			That we are weak.
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:35
			We have a creator that is all powerful.
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:38
			And he is the only one that is
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:39
			in control.
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:42
			And he is testing us with the greatest
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:43
			test.
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:44
			And that is the test of la ilaha
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:44
			illallah.
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:47
			The test to believe in your heart.
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:49
			And firmly believe that there is only one
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:51
			deity to worship and that is Allah.
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:53
			It's not about us.
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:54
			It's not about them.
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:57
			It's about the outcome and what the outcome
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:57
			is.
		
00:13:57 --> 00:14:00
			Either you are going to be successful or
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:01
			you are going to be unsuccessful.
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:05
			And that covenant, subhanallah, that we have with
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:07
			Allah ta'ala, we need to fulfil that
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:07
			covenant.
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:09
			It's hard work.
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:11
			And what is that covenant?
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:13
			It is the way of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:13
			wa sallam.
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:18
			Allah ta'ala says, You want my love
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:18
			and success?
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:21
			Follow him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:24
			If you are going to follow him, mashallah,
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:25
			you will fulfil this covenant.
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:27
			And I will grant you such a gift
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:29
			that you cannot imagine.
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:34
			Nobody saw that except Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:34
			sallam.
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:38
			No ears ever heard what is happening there.
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:43
			No heart and mind can perceive what Jannah
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:43
			is about.
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:45
			La ilaha illallah.
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:46
			Do we think Jannah is cheap?
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:49
			Jannah is not cheap.
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:51
			* is cheap.
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:53
			* is very cheap.
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:55
			You want to go to *?
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:56
			Do what you want.
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			Allah ta'ala is saying to you, If
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:03
			'al, Do what you want.
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:04
			Do whatever you want.
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:06
			And if you are going to do that,
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:07
			you are going to see the outcome.
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:08
			There is going to be a consequence for
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:09
			that outcome.
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:11
			The outcome is, we are going to send
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:11
			you in the fire of *.
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:15
			That will be your abode forever.
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:17
			Allah protect us.
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:20
			But if you work hard, and what is
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:20
			Jannah?
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:21
			It's not cheap.
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:24
			Jannah is sacrifice and toil and taking nonsense
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:24
			of people.
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:28
			And just humble yourself, and make a thousand
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:29
			excuses for the other person.
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:31
			Although he doesn't want to make excuses for
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:33
			you, you still make excuses for him.
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:36
			Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is our greatest example.
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:38
			Mocked him, called him names.
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:40
			They did everything to him.
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:42
			They made his life a living * on
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:42
			earth.
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:44
			But what did he do?
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:48
			He says, Oh Allah, I complain to you
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:49
			about myself.
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:52
			It's because of my weakness, that I cannot
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:54
			have an impact on these people's heart.
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:55
			Ya Allah, don't punish them.
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:56
			Why?
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:00
			Because they don't know.
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:02
			Why do we have a heart to do
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:03
			that?
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:05
			Do you have a heart if somebody hurts
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:05
			you?
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:07
			To say, Ya Allah, forgive him.
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:10
			We don't know what he's doing.
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:12
			If I say, Ya Allah, destroy him.
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:13
			Oh, he's supposed to come.
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:18
			That is our response.
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:20
			Our Nabi teaches us beautiful ways.
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:22
			Our Rasul sallallahu alayhi wa sallam teaches us
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:23
			what Islam is.
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:30
			And through that beautiful, through that perfect akhlaq
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			that he conducted himself with, there is an
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:33
			ummah today.
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:37
			Subhanallah, even though we find ourselves probably in
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:39
			the weakest state that we ever were, we
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:41
			are still the greatest ummah.
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:45
			That we must process.
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			Today, yes we can boast about being the
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:50
			greatest ummah, but we are in a situation
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:53
			where we probably practically never were before.
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:58
			And Allah forgive us for our shortcomings.
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:01
			Because we see in front of us the
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:01
			oppression.
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:04
			We can't even speak out against oppression.
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:07
			We fear humans.
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:11
			We fear our jobs.
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:12
			We fear hunger.
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:16
			We fear our homes are going to be
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:16
			taken away from us.
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:21
			I know this is hard because some people
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:22
			probably in their mind say, Ya Mawlana, you
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:23
			can say that, but if it happens to
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:27
			you, Allah protect us from that.
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:28
			May it never happen to us.
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:30
			But that is what life is about today.
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:33
			It's only about the materialistic things that we
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:34
			see.
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:36
			Because we were taught in the West that
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:37
			seeing is believing.
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:40
			What you see, that's what you must believe.
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:40
			La ilaha illallah.
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:43
			Whenever was it that a Muslim worried about
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:43
			hunger?
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:45
			Because Allah prepare us for that.
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:49
			Allah say, وَلَنَبْلُونَكُمْ بِشَيءٍ مِّنَ الْخَوْفُ وَالجُوعِ Sometimes
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:50
			you're going to be hungry, my boy.
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:51
			Say, Alhamdulillah.
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:54
			And if we say, إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْ
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:57
			رَجِعُونَ Allah say, وَبَشِّرُوا الصَّابِرِينَ They will be
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:58
			glad tidings for you for practicing patience.
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:01
			وَإِنَّ مَعَ الْأُسْرِ يُسْرًا And when the user
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:03
			come after the difficulty, what do we say?
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:07
			الحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ And then, we can't
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:08
			believe, subhanallah.
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:11
			We don't even acknowledge the difficulty because the
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:13
			difficulty will be forgotten immediately.
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:15
			Because here the ease is in front of
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:15
			me.
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:18
			Allah, my Allah is still looking at me
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:19
			and gazing upon me.
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:20
			That is the happy occasion that a Muslim
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:21
			feel.
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			But if you are not connected to Allah,
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:25
			if you are not connected to Muhammad s
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:27
			.a.w., then every difficulty will be a
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:27
			aid for you.
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:30
			It will be difficult for you.
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:32
			It will be when you complain.
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:34
			And you can't move forward.
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:36
			You go into a state of depression because
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:38
			the only thing that matters to us is
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:38
			this world.
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:40
			The true test is the Ahl and the
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:41
			covenant of Allah.
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:46
			Remind yourself constantly, لا إله إلا الله لا
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:50
			إله إلا الله The reason Allah says, أَفْضَلُ
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:54
			الذِكْرِ حَقًّا That the best form of dhikr
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:56
			for you to do is لا إله إلا
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:58
			الله What does لا إله إلا الله do?
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:00
			We know this.
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:02
			لا إله إلا الله, the day of Qiyamah.
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:03
			You are going to come.
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:05
			Your scale is going to be there.
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:06
			And you are going to look and say,
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:09
			يا سلام I am doomed.
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:11
			I am doomed.
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:12
			I am going to *.
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:13
			There I am going.
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:15
			Subhanallah, look at all the bad actions on
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:16
			my scale.
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:19
			And then the one close to Allah s
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:20
			.w.t will be لا إله إلا الله
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:23
			On the opposite side of that scale.
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:25
			And it will outweigh the dunya and whatever
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:26
			it contains.
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:28
			That is the power of لا إله إلا
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:31
			الله Only that لا إله إلا الله can
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:31
			take you to Jannah.
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:32
			We know the story.
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:36
			And this is what we need to become.
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:39
			This is the true covenant that we speak
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:41
			about when we follow the way of Muhammad
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:44
			s.a.w. That two brothers will come,
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:46
			not little brothers, but two of the brothers
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:48
			of the Ummah s.a.w. will come
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:49
			on the day of Qiyamah.
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:53
			And the one brother will need one good
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:53
			action.
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:57
			Just one good action to enter into Jannah.
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:01
			If he don't have that good action, he
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:02
			will enter into Jannah.
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:04
			And the other brother will come, he only
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:05
			have one good action.
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:09
			He's got nothing of good, only one good
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:09
			action.
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:12
			And he's going to meet up with his
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:13
			brother, and he looked at his brother, and
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:14
			he says, my brother, what is wrong?
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:16
			He said, I'm worried.
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:17
			Why are you worried?
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:20
			He said, because I only need one good
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:21
			action to enter Jannah.
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:24
			And he's going to say, you know what?
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:25
			Take my hand, man.
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:28
			I'm already doomed for Jannah.
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:31
			I only have one good action.
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:33
			And he's going to say, you sure, brother?
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:36
			Habibi, how can I enter Jannah with one
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:37
			good action?
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:39
			You take it, inshallah, you'll go to Jannah.
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:41
			And what do we think is going to
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:41
			happen?
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:44
			And Allah s.w.t will come and
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:45
			question.
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:48
			Allah will say, my brother, my servant, why
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:49
			did you do that?
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:52
			Inshallah, I know I'm doomed for *.
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:55
			That brother of mine, shame.
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:57
			You know, he's in a shocking state.
		
00:20:58 --> 00:20:59
			He only need one good action.
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:01
			So I thought, I only have one.
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:03
			I gave it to him, mashallah.
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:05
			He goes to Jannah.
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:07
			What is Allah's response?
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:10
			Allah's response to that abd of Allah is
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:12
			going to be, and ya Allah grant us
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:13
			closeness like that as brothers.
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:16
			Look at this brother, one good action.
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:18
			He felt for his brother.
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:20
			Today we have so much good and khair
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:21
			in our life, we feel nothing for our
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:21
			brothers.
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:23
			The only thing we can say is bad
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:24
			about our brothers.
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:25
			Allah protect us.
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:27
			But Allah s.w.t will ask this
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:31
			brother, this abd of Allah, do you think
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:35
			for one moment that you are more merciful
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:35
			than me?
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:40
			You are more merciful than me giving this
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:41
			servant one good action?
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:43
			You enter Jannah with him.
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:45
			That is my mercy.
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:48
			One act, where did he perform that act?
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:49
			When he's lost, he's doomed.
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:51
			Now I've got no good actions.
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:53
			I'm giving that last one.
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:55
			Allah s.w.t shows his mercy, why?
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:56
			Because of what?
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:58
			Because of the covenant of what?
		
00:21:58 --> 00:21:59
			He's a Muslim.
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:02
			La ilaha illallah.
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:08
			He fulfilled that by not associating partners with
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:09
			Allah.
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:12
			La ilaha illallah takes him to Jannah.
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:15
			Allah s.w.t show him that I
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:17
			am more merciful than any being.
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:20
			So enter with your brother into Jannah.
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:22
			May we be true brothers of one another.
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:25
			We will be tested with the truth every
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:26
			day of our lives.
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:29
			The question is, do we see the truth?
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:32
			Is life really about us?
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:36
			Is life really about 60 years, 70 years
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:36
			you're gonna live?
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:39
			MashaAllah, you're still proud about the 60, 70
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:39
			years?
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:42
			How much good did you do in the
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:42
			60 years?
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:44
			What are you gonna present to Allah?
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:47
			You want to present to Allah 70 years
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:48
			of good actions that you've done?
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:50
			You think that is going to change Allah
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:51
			s.w.t and His greatness?
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:53
			Allahu Akbar.
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:57
			Allah s.w.t is the greatest.
		
00:22:58 --> 00:22:59
			He doesn't need our good actions.
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:01
			We need Allah.
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:05
			We need Allah, Jamaat-e-Muslim.
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:07
			More today than ever before.
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:12
			Let's fulfill that true covenant of la ilaha
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:13
			illallah.
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:17
			You hear bad, turn away from it.
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:20
			You hear people speaking bad about your brother,
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:21
			turn away from it.
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:24
			People that are fitna mongers, stay away from
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:25
			them.
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:27
			The only thing that they can do is
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:28
			create fitna.
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:31
			And we have a covenant with Allah, la
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:32
			ilaha illallah.
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:33
			We have a prophet that show us we
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:36
			can't be a part of this that is
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:36
			happening.
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:39
			And today they come in funny disguises.
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:42
			They come in disguises.
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:46
			They speak in tongues that you want to
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:46
			hear.
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:48
			Because they are most eloquent in speech.
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:51
			But what they're doing is tafriq bain al
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:51
			ummah.
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:53
			They create division in the ummah.
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:56
			Where today, more than ever, the ummah need
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:57
			to get together.
		
00:23:57 --> 00:23:59
			The only thing they focus on is see
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:00
			what He's doing.
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:01
			See what they are doing.
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:02
			They are doomed for this, they are doomed
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:02
			for that.
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:04
			You mustn't go there, you mustn't go there.
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:05
			That is life.
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:06
			Allahu akbar.
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:10
			We have a greater, greater, greater, greater reality.
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:13
			That reality is la ilaha illallah muhammad rasulallah.
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:16
			That reality is that we need to unite
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:17
			and stand together as brothers.
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:19
			We don't have time for this fitna mongering
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:19
			anymore.
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:22
			Now the time is there's a cause that
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:23
			brings the community together.
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:25
			The cause of Palestine.
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:27
			The cause of Gazans.
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:28
			Which we've heard in the week, I spoke
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:29
			about the hadith.
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:30
			The hadith of Gaza.
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:34
			I spoke about, and Sheikh Ibrahim Gabriel beautifully
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:35
			mentioned the hadith.
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:37
			Where he broke down in tears.
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:40
			Where Allah ta'ala mentions that there's going
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:41
			to be a group of people in a
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:42
			certain place.
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:43
			They ask, ya rasulallah, what place is this?
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:45
			He says, baytul maqdis.
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:48
			And that's what is surrounding it, in the
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:49
			surrounding areas.
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:51
			That is where the people will come.
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:53
			That they will fight for this ummah.
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:55
			And they will be in difficulty.
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:57
			The Prophet shallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, although
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			it will be so difficult for them, they
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:00
			will never give up on the cause of
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:01
			la ilaha illallah.
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:03
			How can we not stand with the people
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:04
			like that?
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:06
			When it is the words of your nabi
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:08
			and my nabi, that is encouraging us to
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:09
			stand with them.
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:11
			Today we ask for them, ya salam.
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:14
			You know, there's a thousand questions that go
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:15
			through our mind.
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:17
			You know, when Rasul shallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:18
			say, if you can't be there, and we
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:19
			know we can't be there.
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:22
			Then let the fire burn and the lanterns
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:24
			burn in masjidul aqsa.
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:26
			Send, send, send.
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:28
			Your intention is khair, your intention is good.
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:31
			You do it, Allah sees that.
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:35
			Don't let shaytan, you know.
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:37
			Allah speaks, ya salam, I can speak for
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:38
			hours.
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:40
			wa la tattabi'u khutuwati shaytan.
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:41
			He's busy with us now, he's with satira.
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:43
			The imam prayed for me at the field.
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:46
			And that's why I'm ending off.
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:48
			I don't want you to follow that.
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:50
			May Allah ta'ala forgive us for our
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:51
			shortcomings.
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:53
			Let us renew the covenant with Allah.
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:56
			Make tajdeed of la ilaha illallah.
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:59
			And whenever the bad thoughts come to mind,
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:01
			and you hear bad, say la ilaha illallah.
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:03
			No man, we are the ummah of Muhammad
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:03
			sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:04
			We can't tolerate this.
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:06
			And then we move on.
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:07
			And we do good.
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:08
			And all the khair that we do for
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:10
			the sake of Allah, as long as Allah
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:11
			knows in your heart that you are doing
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:13
			right, and you are doing for Allah's sake,
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:15
			you carry on with the good that you
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:15
			do.
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:16
			And you bring people close, and you bring
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:18
			people to Allah ta'ala's house, and you
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:19
			bring people to Allah ta'ala's deen.
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:21
			That is the right thing to do.
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:22
			People that chase you away from that, we
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:23
			don't have time for that.
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:24
			And Allah bless us.
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:26
			Allah bless you inshallah ta'ala.
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:27
			Hayyakumullah.
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:29
			There is just a few announcements that I
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:30
			want to make inshallah ta'ala.
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:32
			And then we will carry on with the
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:32
			adhan.
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:35
			Inshallah ta'ala.
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:41
			We have a paper sign demonstration today, this
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:42
			afternoon at 5pm.
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:43
			Inshallah ta'ala.
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:45
			I don't need to speak much about this.
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:48
			Please come out and support inshallah ta'ala.
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:50
			We have a taraquz.
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:53
			Yes, taraquz that will take place at our
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:54
			masjid, masjid tuba.
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:56
			It will be presented by Mawlana Siraj Giri.
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:59
			Inshallah ta'ala starting the 27th of October.
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:01
			And then it will be the 3rd of
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:02
			November inshallah.
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:05
			Among the 20th of October, the 27th of
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:06
			October, and the 3rd of November.
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:08
			So next week inshallah we start with the
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:08
			schools.
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:10
			I think it's imperative for us, if you
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:13
			don't know taraq, you never studied taraq, this
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:14
			is where you need to be.
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:16
			Ya Allah, there is a pandemic when it
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:17
			comes to taraq.
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:20
			It's crazy what is happening out there.
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:22
			The smallest thing, people just want to leave
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:24
			their relationships with their spouses.
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:26
			There is a reason why Allah ta'ala's
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:28
			mission says, and this is a weak hadith,
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:30
			but he says that the word taraq shakes
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:31
			the arsh of Allah ta'ala.
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:33
			It shakes the arsh of Allah.
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:35
			Are we comfortable to shake the arsh because
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:36
			of Allah's anger?
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:37
			Allah protect us.
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:41
			So inshallah the youngsters please, you know, attend
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:41
			the schools.
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:43
			Mawlana Siraj Giri is a well known, he
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:45
			is part of the fatwa department, or the
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:46
			Muslim Jesus Council as well inshallah ta'ala.
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:50
			And then our masjid, madrasa, food and funfair,
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:51
			it is this week inshallah.
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:54
			Come out in your numbers, support Allah's house,
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:55
			support the madrasa.
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:58
			Inshallah ta'ala, everything that you are doing
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:00
			and contributing is for a good cause.
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:03
			We always try to encourage everyone that when
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:05
			you come, be within the limits, be within
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:07
			the boundaries, subhanallah.
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:09
			But we must understand that we are a
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:10
			social nation.
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:11
			The Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:12
			a social being.
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:14
			The Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:15
			to interact with people.
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:19
			But there was obviously verifications why he interacted
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:20
			with people.
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:25
			Don't go on a bandwagon, There are limits
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:26
			and there are people that are watching and
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:28
			mashallah their parents are here, and our wives
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:29
			are here, and our husbands are here.
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:33
			Alhamdulillah we are doing and we always encourage
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:34
			these boundaries.
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:36
			So let us always stick to our boundaries
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:37
			and alhamdulillah we do it for the sake
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:38
			of Allah ta'ala.
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:40
			All the khair bringing the community together.
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:42
			May Allah reward us for our good intentions
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:42
			inshallah.
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:43
			Jazakumullahu khairan.
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:44
			Allah bless you.
		
00:41:34 --> 00:41:39
