			Got
		
00:00:01 --> 00:00:08
			a lot of banana means that allow us to kind of you know, Mohammedan Oregon, with sort of a man was
reciting from tonight pajama pocket. All right.
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:24
			Wow. Again, sort of that's easy for people to remember to remember subpanel and memorize what is so
unique about Surah Surah what is the, the major story the major theme of Soto speaks about whom?
Yusuf Ali Salaam, right?
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:42
			Who musasa It speaks about muscle is most of the surah is about Musa alayhis salam. So Allah will
talk about the story of Musa like I said many times in different parts of the Quran, Allah subhanho
wa Taala repeated that particularly surah Moosa more than any other surah in the Quran.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:01:20
			More than any other story in the Quran, the story of Moses was repeated more and more in many, many
different ways. We look at the story of Musa ceram each time it was repeated, the theme was
different Allah subhanho wa Taala is bringing to our attention at different side from the story of
masala serum so one time the focus is on the conversation between Muslim and the crown. One time was
the focus and Musa and Benny Israel in one time the household of Musa his mom has to when he was
born and so on, so there's always some emphasis on some specific direction for us to focus on
tonight. I want to share with you something very unique. When Allah subhanho wa Taala when Allah
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:49
			azza wa jal ordered musala his Salaam with the mission to go around and ask them to give him many
slaves who could take them to the Holy Land. The Philistine moose Allah Serrano, he relies a lot I
mean, there is no return. That's a loss of Hanna windows commanded him. He said with his own eyes,
or ears. This is a miracle Allah has given a miracle right now and he's going to be standing before
around and he is going to go and invite him to Allah subhanho wa Taala and asked him to bring
bunnies for you out with him.
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:57
			Whenever you go and speak to people specifically of that caliber, you speak to the crowd. What do
you guys call this?
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:04
			When I'm speaking to right now, what do you call this? public speaking? That's called public
speaking. And it's an art
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:27
			it's an art sometimes you need to some speakers like myself, you fall asleep right? And sometimes
you have other speaker lecture almost no Mashallah you're awake. So it depends. It's a skill, it's
an art and in the Quran, Allah subhanho wa Taala was teaching us the skills of public speaking the
prophetic way. So my mission to you right now my message to you knew go to public speaking, then
prepare like a prophet.
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:46
			Prepare like a prophet. How do prophets prepare for public speaking? Look what Allah Subhana Allah
says about masala Salaam when Allah told me Salah Salem you go to brown Illa for Ana in Otago, you
go to brown standard for him, speak to him. He's a talent Be careful. Like I was preparing him he's
not going to be easy for you.
		
00:02:48 --> 00:03:15
			He didn't say go to speak to around negotiate with him. He might listen to you. He didn't say that.
He says you go to and I'm telling you from now. He's a tyrant. Which means it's going to be rough.
Get ready for it. So what to expect for most of the time Allah subhanho wa Taala then if Allah La
Musa go respective around and be careful, he is rough. He's a tyrant. He's gonna transgress. Like,
it's not gonna be easy for you. What do you expect most to ask for them? For Allah to make it?
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:28
			Easy. Right? So he said, Carla, like saying okay, this is the case, your law. What was the first
Moosa asked for? For a ride? private jet
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:48
			salary? What is his vacation time before I go to brown? He didn't ask for this. The first thing when
you prepare for public speaking, if you're on a mission to give Dawa if you are on a mission to give
a presentation to talk to people, what is the first thing you need to ask for from Allah subhanho wa
Taala call or be a slightly sorry.
		
00:03:49 --> 00:04:04
			The first thing you're like you send him it to him. I know he's rough. You know a lot he lives
sadly, in the translation of a study, you open my heart to it? What's the meaning of open your heart
to something? What does that exactly mean? That you believe in it?
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:24
			That you believe in it? When you when you go into when I give a presentation and you made the
presentation with your team and you're not 100% believing in what you're going to be presented to
the to the board? How the president How does the presentation sound like? You don't seem convincing
because you yourself don't seem to be convinced. Your heart is not there.
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:27
			Your heart is not there.
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:34
			musala is Salam colosse he believes what does he need from Allah subhanho wa Taala your Allah opened
my heart to
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:40
			your surgery, and this is for all the MBA.
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:56
			Why was the mission of Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam as difficult as it sounds to us? We read the
spirit of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, what was a successful Why was it easy? Because Allah in the
Quran told us we needed to the Prophet sallallahu Sallam he said to him, lm nasura la casa de
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			la casa de Musa Mohammed sobre la sala
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			He says a panel that didn't we open your heart to it
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:05
			we made it easy for you.
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:33
			He said color of beshara so the first thing you ask a lot your Allah make it easy on me open my
heart to this make me too strong believing that what I'm going to speak about is actually open my
heart to it first that's the first thing second column surgery and then what they say well yes sir
Lee Emery make my affairs easy because I'm going to do my best but the end result is in the hands of
whom Allah subhana wa tada
		
00:05:34 --> 00:06:13
			So Moses telling Allah Hazara, I'm gonna do everything possible to I'm going to prepare everything
in the best way possible. But from you I asked you to make it easy. Like whatever I prepare for your
Allah make it easy. That's the same thing for you. You're going to read books, you can listen to
tapes, you probably going to watch you know videos and do this and do that all these kind of things
right? But then at the end, still you need Allah subhanho wa Taala to make your affairs easy, make
the trip easy for you. Make the presentation easy for you. We don't need any have the hiccup with
the microphones with the with the PowerPoint, for example, or this so that whatever you asked to
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:17
			make everything easy for you, westerly Emery. And I wanted to say
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:30
			that the men listening Yala, untie the knot on my tongue. What does that mean? Make me more eloquent
in my speech, when I talk that people would listen.
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:37
			Why is that? Because not everybody who talks really can, you know can make it easy for people to
understand.
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:45
			It's it's an art. And that's why they say everybody communicates but few Connect.
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:47
			You won't be talking for hours.
		
00:06:48 --> 00:07:21
			And people will be listening. But how many is actually tuning in and how many is running out. So you
need when you talk. You need the people to connect with you. And he's asking Allah, Allah make me
eloquent of mice in my speech so that people connect with me so I can deliver in the best way
possible against a speech speech acts as an art, when you come to speaking to people, it is an art,
so is asking you to give me the art of public speaking. That's basically and then then he said, You
have Kahoot Kohli so that they might understand what I say. That is the connection part.
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:36
			The first part your alarm, make me a good communicator. And the second part, he says, and you know,
a lot make me a person who delivers right? That they understand from me. It's not that like they're
struggling to figure out what he's talking about.
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:44
			When I talk, make it easy for me to communicate the right way, and make it easy for them to connect
with me and understand what I suggest.
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:47
			And then what what did he say
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:55
			for you? If you'd be given profited. If you'd be given proper hypothetical. What is the first thing
you do?
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:00
			You'd go on Snapchat and you make a snapshot on it. I became a prophet.
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:16
			you brag about it. When Messiah became a prophet, what did he think about the first thing? Wow, this
is high, right? Who's the most Who is the one who deserves that hire the most among all the people
you could think of? For Muslim, my brother?
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:58
			Like you know what? Let me call my brother into this. You're like, Can I have my brother to help me?
Since you told me it's gonna be rough and frown is gonna be tough. I need someone to help holla was
Ali was your Amina Honey, can you just give me an advisor someone to be with me I need to help. I
just kind of take that that mission on my own. It's very hard to get to be hard for me was when he
was urinary Haruna my brother Harun, who should be ezri armaskin that you OSHA, OSHA, which was
basically we got like you can strengthen my, my case through him. Who should be here? Why should it
be emiliania Allah making my partner I can make him a prophet. Musa was the messenger. And how long
		
00:08:58 --> 00:08:59
			was the Prophet?
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:30
			Why should it be Emily? And then he gave his reason. Cain was a backache at all, one of the kuraki
Theater so we both we both make the spear Do you remember you together like we strengthen and assist
each other? What does that mean, Mr. Partnership, even in public speaking, when you go on a mission
anywhere you need someone to be with you. Being alone, it feels lonely sometimes. So you need
somebody that will always remind you, I'm here for you. I'm here with you. You're doing great job,
someone to cheer you up.
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:49
			And that was Harun masala is someone to cheer him up to know that I can talk to him and I feel
confident about it. And then he says, How long should that be as you were should Kofi Emery kinosaki
the amount of Coca Cola kakatiya in a cocoon Sabina basura. And then he says yo Allah, you know
better.
		
00:09:50 --> 00:10:00
			After he made all his case, it says you see us and you know what is best for us. That's what it
means. Like I'm just living my case through Allah. So Allah subhana wa
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:04
			I said to him, Allah cut outta silica masa wish granted.
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:53
			We are giving it to you all what you asked for, has been given to you. Next time when you prepare
for a presentation at our mission, program, activity, talking to your spouse, your children,
anything that requires you communicating with people, make sure to memorize that. This is in Surah
Taha chapter 20 from 25 to 3520 2535. memorize this, this is memorized. Every time you're going to
be speaking with whomever you can think of in this world. Remember to recite this ayah and ask Allah
subhanho wa Taala to make it easy for you. Open your heart to it. Make that first easy for you, make
you speak what it was you could communicate in the best way and you connect with the people so they
		
00:10:53 --> 00:11:01
			understand you and then hopefully you have someone who will assist you in helping shall Allah make
that Allah subhanaw taala make it easy on all of your enemy.
