hammer Rahimi Alhamdulillah, we've had a good first half of our session and for those of you who are
going to call in, please do so in sha Allah, the lines are open. It does take a couple of minutes to
get verified and to come through the process and I look forward to hearing you live with me with
		
00:00:37 --> 00:01:21
			your Islamic q&a. inshallah, we were speaking about the importance of self talk and there were three
rules that we spoke about. The first one is that it is preferable Of course, for the one who is
giving charity to do so secretly, especially if it is something that is going to limit ostentation
and arrogance in their behavior towards others. This of course, does not mean one cannot give
charity in public, which is our second principle, that if you give charity in public intending insha
Allah that others follow in light kind, then this is a great activity by that and a great act of
worship. Third, of course, is to not give charity in a way that demeans the one who's receiving it
		
00:01:21 --> 00:02:00
			and I want to be yourself Allah Hardy was sending was a master in fulfilling people's rights and
fulfilling his love towards them and allowing them to feel appreciated and there's one a wonderful
story in the life of the DSi sell him in his syrup. There was one of the viewers will have a who's a
great companion of the messengers on the line send them and he was experiencing a state of poverty.
And while he was in that state, all that he owned up all of the material possessions that he had in
his life was that he owned a camel now this camel was old in age it was one that was you know, it
was almost like with two flat tires. It's like nearly done nearly dead. And the prophets I seldom
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:42
			could see that this man was struggling financially and the Prophet knows that this man was one who
is generous who is giving who is not used to receiving themselves. So the Prophet approaches in one
day so I sent him and he says to him, I want to buy your camel. And the man says Yasuda Lawson I
sell them I would give you my camel forget buying I would give it to you. But this camel is nearly
done. I would feel ashamed to give you something that would trouble you down the road. And the
prophets I sell and said okay, listen, let me try it. Let me ride him. Let me ride the camel and if
she's a quick if she is one that I am accepting of then there's no problem with it. I'll buy it from
		
00:02:42 --> 00:03:20
			you the man said okay on messenger of Allah believing the camel is as it is. And of course the
mobarak nividia Salah I sell them the one who was full of Baraka immediately upon touching the camel
sitting upon the camel the camel you know it was became sad because it was it was the quickest camel
in Medina it and it just sapan Allah It was like it had it was like a brand new cable, fully
refurbish the profit took you know for a spin return to the Vandy said lousy I don't know why you're
complaining about this Campbell and the men's of Han Allah you know he knows the vodka then of us
iclm virga are the profits and how much is it came
		
00:03:22 --> 00:04:01
			between you know, this amount to this amount of profit gave them sighs lm the top amount is this a
good camel to quit camel. So the profit paid a good price for it. And the man was so joyed he said
okay and hamdulillah I took the money, he's going to pay his debt, he's going to refurbish his own,
he's going to buy another candle, and he'll still have a little bit of money over and as he turns to
walk away the prophets I send them said I have a gift for you as well. So this is we finished our
purchase. I have a gift for you. I would like to give you this camel as a gift. Allahu Akbar
sallallahu ala nabina Muhammad, may Allah subhana wa Allah grant us the shape of our unobvious on
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:23
			the law, he was sent a look at how the Prophet preserved his dignity honored him so I sent him gave
him so that he doesn't feel that he is one who is receiving, or one who is receiving charity in that
sense, maintained his presence, and at the same time gifted him an honorable gift Salama who said we
have a caller on the line at Santa Monica in color. How can I help?
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:28
			Yes, it's your How can I help you?
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:36
			I did my face about yesterday. Yesterday.
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			I realized that my
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:43
			day before
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:45
			before and I took my
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:55
			time day before and then I put my phone and then I just capitalized all day today. And I guess
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			I think I was supposed to be at
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			gain or loss today, but actually,
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:08
			I'm not feeling well so my mind is all over the place. So I completely forgot.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:11
			Oh my god I have been
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:12
			living
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:22
			without proper Wazoo because I did my birthday before today, and I suppose to give myself time and
to finish was
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:30
			when I was going to buy or buy today, maybe gone
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:52
			to your sister for your question, oh, we paraphrase it hopefully I've understood it correctly insha
Allah, the sister says that she put on her socks for will do on the previous day at the time after
making will do Advil for a prayer. And she kept those socks on for a full day. So she prayed her
		
00:05:53 --> 00:06:38
			method if, you know, into the next day, and then didn't remove her socks, after the fifth prayer or
after some Oh to do her come about again after the day had come to an end. And now she is wondering
about the prayers. So, you know the correct answer in sha Allah is that there is a limit that has
been set by the prophets I seldom for those who are not traveling, that it is one day and night. So
once the one day a night has come to an end you will do comes to an end. And even though it was
something new for God, you should now make the will do and repeat those particular prayers that went
beyond that amount of time where you have gone beyond that day and night session. So it might be for
		
00:06:38 --> 00:07:18
			your officer and you said for measure to be remembered. So it might be the answer to prayer and
maybe the method of if you haven't remembered before it, make those prayers as a lot in sha Allah.
May Allah some kinda went to Allah except from you and I May Allah keep your heart always wakeful
and always connected to yourself that may Allah Subhana Allah keep you always attached to the best
practice that you can perform. And may Allah subhanho wa Taala grant you the rank of the one who
asks about what they are unaware of hoping for the mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala does Aquila
nephila does that for that wonderful question. I'm sure it can be of benefit to other people, as
		
00:07:18 --> 00:08:09
			well, in sha Allah, we were speaking Alhamdulillah we were speaking about the importance of coming
together. And being able to support one another we're giving and gift. And we said that that number
three example of being one who is generous without making it feel as if we are the privilege and
making others feel downtrodden. In front of us. There's a fourth important principle as it relates
to our southern which is that we should not inconvenience those who are in need. For those who are
beyond our family's needs. What this means is that although we are encouraged to give charity and if
we see somebody outside our home or family who needs we should give them but it should not come at
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:45
			the detriment and the poverty of our own family. And so Pamela this was something the Prophet taught
to some of his beloved Sahaba In fact, in sort of earlier imraan Allah Subhana Allah says, Len
tener, la Pira, heterotopia, for me matter a boon, you shall not attain that elevated status of
righteousness, until you can give and be generous and part with the things you love most in life
that you can share from them with the bounties of Allah that He has given you with others. And I
will tell her rhodiola
		
00:08:48 --> 00:09:27
			turns to Medina and when I was one of the things that with my hedge groups and my oma groups, may
Allah have returned us many more times a lot better I mean, is that I actually show them the
location of these two gardens at the well. Aveda hardware, I will tell you how I used to have this
garden. So in this garden, he used to have a beautiful orchard, a beautiful well that the Prophet
used to love to drink from and sit nearby and enjoying the shade of the trees. And that will come
when you heard this verse. He came to the province I said him he said there's nothing I love more
from my financial affairs. Then these two gardens, O Messenger of Allah, and they are the very back
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:31
			of the mention of the prophets. I send them near the gates of Melek fat today.
		
00:09:32 --> 00:10:00
			Gates number 15 1617 and 18. So that's where that we're at that these gardens are and the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. He said O Messenger of Allah, I'm going to give them to you to give in
charity, and the Prophet sighs lm reviews. He said no, what good is giving charity to others if you
will leave your family poor and disheveled after you. I don't I will not take this
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:29
			charity that is going to put in your own family a level of poverty. Give it if you are, he said what
I want to give this charity. So he said, if you're going to give it, then give the charity within
your household within your home. So he gave a part of the lead to his wife, a part of the lead to
his son, another part of the line to assign and maternal maternal family, paternal family, and gave
it in charity amongst those who are needy and amongst those who are in his family,
		
00:10:30 --> 00:11:23
			as a way of fulfilling that important should know that the charity we do should not be at the
disadvantage. And in fact, in some cases, I've seen it at the loss of our own household in a way
that can make rebellion in the heart against the commands of Allah Subhana with Allah and there is
such wisdom in that area, Mohammed sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And that leads us to point number
five, the prophets I seldom said up Baraka sada, the sadaqa, the charity that will have the greatest
bottlecap the greatest blessing in your home, in your household with your children is infected with
malware Allah is for a person to give charity, by spending on his wife on his family that you spend
		
00:11:23 --> 00:12:03
			on your household and your home. So Han Allah, what an incredible statement of the Prophet Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Why does this bring Baraka because when your children receive
something, when your wife receives something, when your husband, your father, your mother, those who
are your family received something from you, it has the added advantage of softening each other's
heart towards each other, and it reciprocates and you receive, they receive and it breeds love that
is instantaneous, unlike the charity that you give, that is unseen and goes to another place which
has its place, which is important, we should we should not ignore. But it should not be the only
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:55
			charity that we count in our mind as being virtuous. Feeding the orphans looking after the destitute
giving charity to those who are far is a great and noble deed. But Allah always begins with well job
he did. That neighbor who is from nearest to you, and also what this old so those who are from your
own household, and you're an acrobat, write those who are your bloodlines, and those who are from
the ties of the womb. Scylla to Rahim is established through that level of charity and kindness and
giving, we ask Allah subhana wa to Allah to open our hearts to each other, in particular, our
families and our communities that are with us. And number six is to give those who are near before
		
00:12:55 --> 00:13:34
			those who are far and I don't mean just blood relations. So Pamela, sometimes as Muslims, we look so
far away. And of course, we know the pain of our dear brothers and sisters, the Igor people that we
are people. We know the pain of the Rohingya, we know the pain of Afghanistan, we feel the pain of
the salon and of lands in Africa, all of them, we tried to give a help and a level of our Zakah and
charity and kindness. But we'll llahi we also have needs in our communities, as I come to you here
from Perth, in Western Australia, in their communities, wherever you are around the world. There are
needs that are also immediate to you. There are youth centers that need to be will have built
		
00:13:34 --> 00:14:22
			women's hospitals that need to be built. There are massages that need to be repaired, there are
elders in the community that are looking for a place where they can have an elder care home or an
Islamic hospice Center, where people can return to the Lord in their final moments with dignity and
with the Quran in their ear, served by Muslims within the community as Muslims. And sadly, many of
these facilities are lacking within many of our communities in the West. And this is something that
can come as an important process, an action that we should take as a part of the South Africa and
the Zika that we collect, definitely for the far but there must always be a near miss that is within
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:59
			our communities where we consolidate our efforts to support one another as well. Finally, as we
speak about so that it becomes really really important to also consider the ethics that relates
behind our management of funds. And of course it is very important and and hamdulillah it's a great
privilege and honor as Muslims, that Allah has taught us the way to live life in the best of ways
that we don't ever seek to feed our homes or our families from that which is how long the prophets
Allah Allah it was seldom gives us a hint
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:47
			Clear advice as to what restrict our do up from being entered by Allah. He tells us in the authentic
habito well in my Muslim, that there was a man who was out on a journey in the middle of the desert.
And as he went to sleep at night he did not secure his camel well. And when he woke up in the
morning, his Campbell with all of his belongings, his food, his water, his rations, his clothing,
everything he needs to survive was on the camel's back and it left him and ran away. And the man
begins his journey on his feet, walking, making dua to Allah you're up be. Day after day he's losing
his strength, until finally in its final moment, he raises his hands up to a lot to offer I bet they
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:50
			enter who either Semih will find out Oh,
		
00:15:51 --> 00:16:40
			my Lord, my lord. And Allah Subhana Allah to honor the prophets I send them says that and now you're
still juggler. How can this man believe you will be answered? Women Kayla whom in her arm when this
person was habitual, eating from home meaning earning wealth in a way that was unacceptable. See,
earning from her arm and giving in charity is not something that is a benefit to you or others. And
therefore it becomes important for all of us to know the source of our income is Helen and then to
know the source of our purchase being Hello, and to consume it in a way that is Hello in our
clothing. McKellar woman calm this person ate from her own woman better human her arm was dressed
		
00:16:40 --> 00:17:25
			from that which is her arm? Well, why wouldn't he have been held on his whole life was nurtured in a
sinful way. And now used to juggler. Why does he believe now that he raises his hands up to Allah
and then ujjivan will total it though there are Who is the one who answers the one they need when
they make your eye, but how can you feel confident that Allah will enter them when all of these
problems exists in their life. And therefore, one of the surest ways for you and I to cleanse our
wealth is to spend from it in South Africa, and to make sure that we are careful with ours and to
earn from halaal to give in halaal and to make the share of Allah important. Finally, separating
		
00:17:25 --> 00:18:14
			between zeca and sada zeca is something you give by the command of a law when is ordered by a law in
the amount that is ordered by Allah, to those individuals who are law has selected the choice in a
non autonomy in that is limited, it is decreed for you by a lot because of the wealth that you are
paying from it is not actually your own wealth anymore. What does this mean? So kind of if you take
if we take ourselves as you know, if I take myself as an example, as a teacher Alhamdulillah and
paid for eight hours a day as a principal as a as a teacher, and in the course of my day I was to
receive you know, a phone call from the missus, or you know, a personal phone call, which is within
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:59
			my allocated time where I'm not in contact with the students. And for 15 minutes I spent time which
unpaid to be doing duties other than teaching, maybe marking or meetings or whatever. But I spent 15
minutes on the phone with the missus, and you know, what's for dinner while I miss you this and that
and all that nice beautiful talk Mashallah. But it's not on my own time, it's on the company time.
Now, you would say up, but that's not that's not to say everybody does that. But is that and now
just say it was 10 minutes, 10 minutes, say 15 minutes a day that something like a five minute phone
call here 10 minute phone call, whatever it is, over the course of the week, you've taken away an
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:46
			hour of paid work. And your 35 work week is actually 34. But over the course of a month, it's four
hours, and over the course of your 50 of your 12 months, you're now beginning to multiply and that
you've lost days of pay. Now, nobody is going to walk up to their boss and say here is the amount of
$15 phone call that I made to a friend or to my missus or whatever it may be. Nobody's going to do
that. nobody's asking you to do that. But what is the mechanism that we have as Muslims to cleanse
our risk and to make sure it's held out for ourselves in our homes, it's called sec cap, which is
that excess of a year's saving that is reached more than the amount of nisab which you know, in
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:59
			average amounts I say about you know, 4000 Australian 5000 Australian dollars if you're going by the
gold price, if you're going by silver, it's a lesser amount $700 or so, which is a smaller amount
than anything you've saved.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:51
			And you've retained for over a year over four or $5,000 worth. Now you begin to pay 2.5%. So if you
had $10,000, you pay $250 annually upon that $10,000 year after year, and you account for any
increases, that $250 purifies up your wealth, whatever in consistencies they were sucked up on the
other hand, is given by you whenever you want to whoever you want, how often you want in the types
of sadaqa that you want. All of that is given to you in choice and recommended for you by Allah
subhana wa tada seeking the excess of reward we have a caller on the line it'll be our final caller
said I'm Anakin caller How can I help
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:56
			yes
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:01

00:21:23 --> 00:21:26
			they stay with me and I don't know what to do.
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:29
			So you have two children.
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:43
			So you have two children, my Medina
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:45
			and I got my
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:47

00:21:49 --> 00:21:50
			Yeah, big man.
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:55
			I love Mr. Lucky Allah, Allah how much rough sudo ROM.

			Either mean, may Allah May Allah ease for them that affair to come back to Allah Allah.
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:04
			Allah then Geneva
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:07
			more humble me.
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:12
			Question of tsunami out of the Eden Islam. Were then
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:30
			applied to Omaha Omaha out of the enemy within the last hour to Allah opens their heart to the truth
and allows them to have light in their life and that they become more obedient to you. And I
encourage you to speak about your pain. Jani fdmr
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:36
			hb il Allah subhanaw taala in
		
00:22:37 --> 00:23:23
			high school bestie Wahoos Nila Allah, may Allah Subhana Allah ease and comfort y'all what I say to
you, my dear sister, you have yet with regards to these two boys. So you have Allah where give them
what Allah Subhana Allah has demanded and the help of Allah is Krishna tarbiyah was known and
Mashallah to give them the therapy that they were necessary to receive from you and you've given
this Alhamdulillah you've taught them the way to the people or you've taught them the way to Islam.
Number two is to live with them in peace if they are remaining with you. If it is something that is
difficult for them as grown men as you describe, then perhaps as they move forward in life, they can
		
00:23:23 --> 00:24:07
			find a new start a new place, may Allah subhana wa tada make easy for them happiness in their life,
and lead them to that which is good, a lot of them are new. Finally on this, my dear brothers and
sisters, those who are listening as we end our discussion today, it is sometimes difficult in our
day to day experiences to make those kinds of decisions where we ask somebody to leave or there is a
toxic relationship that we are fearing of leaving, but it's only through that hizballah only through
that change and pushing away from that which is hurting us hurting our hearts hurting our own faith
that we can find healing in in that regard. And it becomes important to rely upon others and to seek
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:19
			help from others when it is necessary may allow the removal of our pain and lead us to that which is
good. Well suddenly lahemaa was selling Was it because he didn't want to be you know Mohamed
subhanak along will be having decrescendo
