00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			I am I would like to have a
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:02
			better maybe,
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:05
			half second half of the month of Ramadan
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:08
			But how can we do this? What incentive
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:11
			should I have in order for me to
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			encourage myself and motivate myself even more to
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			do better, do more
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:16
			inshallah.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			May Allah make the second half Ramadan better
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
			for all of us.
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			And make it easy and easier. But I
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			mean, our brothers,
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			sister, Brothers and sisters, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			uses a term which is very close to
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			our fitra as human beings when it comes
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			to exchanging
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			good deeds with him Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. He
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			used the word
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			which means what? Business exchange, trade.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			So you trade with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:43
			and Allah
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			use that term with us in the Quran
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			multiple times, at least 3 times in a
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			way Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has mentioned that
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			what you do with Allah
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55
			you're trading with him subhanahu wa ta'ala. There's
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			a business exchange over here. There's a business
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			exchange. You're giving something and Allah in return
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:01
			gives more inshallah.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			All you who believe shall I guide you
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			to an exchange that will save you from
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:14
			painful punishment?
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:15
			He called
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:20
			and he says to that you believe in
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:20
			Allah
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			and the day of judgment. I mentioned many
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			of the good deeds that we all practice
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:25
			regularly.
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			In the other eye, Allah, as the Surat
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			father.
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			Those who recite the words of Allah,
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			the book of Allah.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			And they established their present their salah.
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			And they spent from what we have provided
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:44
			for them privately and publicly.
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			Those are the ones
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:49
			who hope for an exchange,
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			for a trade, for a fruit fruitful trade
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			that will never fail,
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:56
			will never fail.
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			Like dealing with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:01
			not like dealing with anybody Ajamah Because when
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			you trade with the people today in this
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			market here, it's hit or miss.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			Sometimes it goes well. Sometimes you just kind
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			of like to have to wait before you
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10
			start seeing any result out of that and
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:13
			sometimes you get nothing. But with Allah Subhanahu
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			Wa Ta'ala, you'll always find something.
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:24
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, he bought from the
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:24
			believers
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:25
			themselves
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			and their wealth so that by exchange he's
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			give them in Jannah. May Allah make us
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:30
			from the people of Jannah.
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32
			Brothers and sisters,
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			all of us are in this market. You
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			can't say well I'm not a business person.
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			I'm more intellectual. I like, you know, kind
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:42
			of look. We're all in this market right
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:42
			now.
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			Whether you like it or not, you have
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			to bargain.
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			You're going to have to trade with Allah
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:51
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And say a Muslim
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			and which we were studying on this past
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			Sunday.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:00
			Everybody
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			is going into that market. He said
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			like all people are they go early in
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			the morning into this marketplace.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:12
			And everybody is trading themselves.
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			You exchange yourself and you tell what you
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			get from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in this
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			dunya. And in
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:20
			the
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			so everybody's telling themselves
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:28
			You end up freeing yourself, setting yourself free
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:29
			on the day of judgment
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			or actually ruling themselves. May Allah make us
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			some of those who free themselves.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			I wanna share with you a few things
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			about that trade with Allah
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			Now what is your what is your capital?
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			For every business, you're gonna have to have
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:45
			some capital. You might say, well, I don't
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			have anything. I don't have I'm not a
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			rich person. I'm not have that much money.
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			Well, with Allah as a legal capital, we're
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:52
			all equal in
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:55
			that. We all share that capital. That's your
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:55
			lifetime.
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:59
			The days and numbers that you have
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:01
			attached to you.
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			Are you gonna live 50 years, 20 years?
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:04
			Allah knows.
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:07
			But every single breath counts.
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			Every second of your lifetime
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:13
			counts. That is your capital.
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			I swear to you by Al Asr.
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:20
			Time
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:21
			in general.
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:26
			Every is a constant state of loss, which
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:27
			means what? We're losing
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:29
			so we can also earn as well to
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:30
			he said
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:31
			except
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:32
			except those
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:38
			except for these people
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:39
			who have faith.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:43
			They practice with good deeds. They remain steadfast,
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			and they enjoin each other with good with
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:45
			goodness.
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			So Allah is mentioning it that people usually
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			already in the marketplace and money they aren't
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:51
			losing.
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:52
			Those
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			keep good business with Allah,
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:55
			good trade with Allah
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			Those are these four qualities. They have strong
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:02
			faith. Their practice is put into action, and
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:04
			they enjoin one another with that. The also
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			will have what the wassa will somehow remain
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:08
			steadfast on this path. They don't fluctuate. They
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10
			keep and remain steadfast.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:12
			Brothers and sisters, the prophet
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:13
			says
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:17
			about that capital that we have. We have
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:18
			it already in our hands, but we never
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20
			appreciate the value of it.
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			We never appreciate the value of it. He
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:23
			said
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:24
			about
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:25
			about mankind.
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:31
			2 blessings that you that have been bestowed
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			upon you and many of us which
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:34
			we're deceived.
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37
			We don't really appreciate the value of these
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:37
			two things.
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			Health and free time.
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			When you're healthy and you have the time,
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			we get bored quickly. I don't know what
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:51
			to do. Easy to get bored, SubhanAllah. So
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:53
			we start distracting ourselves for something to keep
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:54
			ourselves entertained.
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:56
			Not necessarily
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:56
			productive.
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:00
			Maybe just getting busy but not necessarily productive.
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02
			And the prophet said of among the thing
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04
			that people will regret the most on the
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			day of judgment these two things.
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:08
			When you're healthy,
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:09
			you were wealthy,
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:12
			and you had free time, so much free
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:14
			time. What did you do with that?
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:16
			That was your
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:17
			capital.
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			That's the capital given to you. You don't
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:20
			have to be rich
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:22
			enough to be healthy,
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:25
			enough that you have time that you use
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27
			in this life. You can now bargain with
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:30
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala with whatever you want.
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32
			And when it comes to now to this
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:32
			market,
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:34
			we're already all in it. Some of us
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			might say, but look. I mean, again, it
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:39
			requires business people, those who have the money
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:40
			to to trade and,
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			but the market of the dunya is open
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:43
			for everybody.
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:45
			For the rich and the poor. For the
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:48
			educated and otherwise. For men, women, adults, young.
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			All of us have the same equal opportunity
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53
			to trade with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			it doesn't matter how much money you have
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			is how much sincerity you have.
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			How sincere you are in the heart, that's
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03
			what's gonna matter the most. You see a
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05
			man, the the the poor people in Madinah
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:07
			came to the prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:08
			wa
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:10
			sallam. So
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			we can't compete with the rich people. They're
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:15
			getting all the rewards.
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:16
			The prophet said, how
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			come? They pray and we pray.
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			They fast, we fast, but they give charity.
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:25
			We can't do that. We can't compete with
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:26
			them.
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:27
			He said,
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			shall I tell you something? If you do,
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31
			you're gonna compete with them, and you even
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33
			surpass those who are before you as well
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:34
			unless they do the same.
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:36
			What is that? He said he says subhanallah
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:40
			33 times. Alhamdulillah 33 times. Alhamdulillah 33 times.
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:44
			You're after salah instead of rushing out.
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:46
			Your dhikr after salah compete you with the
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:47
			rich people.
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:50
			So the people were very excited
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:51
			and they start doing it.
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54
			Now suddenly they have they have something in
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:56
			their hand. They can compete with the rich
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:56
			people.
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:58
			Not long after that, they came back to
		
00:07:58 --> 00:07:59
			Rasulullah
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:02
			We're back again to square 1.
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			How come? He said our brother, the rich
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
			people, they heard about what you said and
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:08
			now they're doing it too.
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11
			What we're gonna do now? That's when the
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:12
			prophet says himself
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			This is the blessing of Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			Ta'ala. He bestows upon whomever he was.
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			But this from this hadith, we know now
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:24
			that even if you don't have money, you
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:25
			can still compete
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:27
			in the market of the.
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:29
			You can still compete with the people. It's
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:32
			not about the money. It's about the sincerity.
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34
			The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam says,
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:38
			One single dollar
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:41
			will have much more reward than a 100,000.
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:44
			And the Sahaba were surprised about this. A
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:46
			man has 2 dirhams.
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:48
			He gave one out and kept one for
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:51
			themselves. That's 50% of their wealth.
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:53
			How difficult was it for them to give
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:55
			50% of their wealth? It's so hard.
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58
			Another person, he had marshaled us so much
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:00
			money. He took from the side and gave
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:01
			it away in charity and happened to be
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:04
			a 100,000. Out of how much? God knows
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:04
			how many.
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:07
			But the idea is that it's not about
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:08
			how much money you have.
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:11
			We all have the exact same amount now
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:13
			of wealth that is time.
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:15
			You might say, but wait a minute. What
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:17
			if someone lives 20 years or 50 years?
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:20
			Remember, with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, you don't
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:23
			really necessarily trading with the the exact value
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:24
			of the dinar and dirham.
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:26
			You're dealing with sincerity.
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:30
			That sincerity in the heart can make so
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:31
			many good deeds
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:32
			much more powerful
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35
			and more rewarding than so many others.
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:38
			Simply with the sincerity of the heart.
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:40
			So it doesn't matter then how much you
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:42
			do as much as you do it right
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:43
			and you do it sincere.
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:45
			A man came to the prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:47
			wa sallam says in a gathering as a
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:48
			prophet was speaking.
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:52
			He wants to know when the market is
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:53
			gonna come to an end.
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:56
			Like, how much time do I have left?
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			And he wants to know, should I pace
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:01
			myself? Should I scale myself up down since
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:04
			I have more time? We don't know that.
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:05
			So he asked the prophet
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:08
			when is the end of this market gonna
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:09
			happen? When is the end of the day
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:10
			that life is gonna
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:13
			the prophet shifted his mind to what is
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:15
			more important to him.
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:16
			He
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:19
			said, what did you prepare for?
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:22
			Basically, what he's telling him is that doesn't
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:23
			matter when he's gonna start.
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:26
			You. Where did you prepare for it? That's
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:28
			what matters right now. So whether you live
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:30
			20 years, 50 years, a 1000 years, it
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:31
			doesn't matter.
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:33
			What comes with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, you're
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:36
			competing against your own self. That's it.
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:39
			How much did you invest in the short
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:42
			time, long time, long age, short age that
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:43
			you lived in this dunya? How much did
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:45
			you invest in the 20 years, 30 years,
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:46
			50 years of your lifetime?
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:49
			That is what you're competing against. Not anybody
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:50
			else.
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:53
			But it's so important that I might materialize
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55
			this by focusing so much on my investment
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:56
			with Allah Subhanahu
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:57
			Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:00
			Brothers and sisters, remember that trading with Allah
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:04
			is a lucrative trade, has no kasara.
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:06
			There is no loss in there. As Allah
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:07
			says in the Quran,
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:10
			because they have they hope for a trade
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			that will never fail an exchange
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:14
			that will never fail. So whatever you do
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:15
			with Allah,
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:17
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will appreciate that for
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:18
			you.
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:21
			Brothers and sisters turning with Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:21
			Ta'ala,
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:23
			that exchange with Allah
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:26
			no matter what it is, it's worth it.
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:30
			It's always worth it. In matters of dunya,
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:33
			you think about it. You ask. You consult
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:36
			with business people, with experts. You try to
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:38
			make sure that you make the right trade
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:38
			and right exchange
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:41
			because it's gonna matter to you where I
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:41
			put my money.
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:44
			But with Allah subhanahu wa'ala, it doesn't matter.
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:48
			Doesn't matter if it's fasting, to Hajjood, dhikr,
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:50
			tasbih, burulwale dein, smile in the face of
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:53
			other people, all these other good deeds? Whatever
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:55
			effort that you put in as a matter
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:56
			of,
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:59
			it is always worth it. With Allah Subhanahu
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:02
			Wa Ta'ala, it's always worth it.
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:04
			You might say, what about $1? It is
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:06
			always worth it because we're trading with Allah
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:09
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, you're not now exchanging,
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:12
			you know, dollar for dollar. No. You're not.
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:15
			Allah.
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:18
			You're trading Jannah right now.
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:19
			That's expensive.
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:21
			That's very precious.
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:25
			Your good deeds not does not don't qualify
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:27
			you to be there. But what qualifies you
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:29
			to be the the grace of Allah Subhanahu
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:30
			wa ta'ala? As the prophet
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:31
			mentioned,
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:32
			the
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:33
			hadith
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:35
			call. None of you is gonna enter Jannah
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:37
			because of the good deed of the submitted.
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:37
			No.
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:39
			That's not even equivalent to that.
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:43
			Except by the mercy and the grace of
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:45
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. You're doing your good
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:48
			deeds to earn that grace of Allah to
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:49
			allow you to be from the people of
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:04
			The example of those who spend their money
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:05
			for the sake of Allah
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:08
			Just like when you give when you when
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:09
			you plant a seed
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:14
			That seed will result in 7 urns.
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:16
			And these urns, of course, they have now
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:18
			a 100 grains on each one of them.
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:19
			You can imagine now.
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:22
			Multiply that to 700 times and even more
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:23
			and more and more.
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:25
			So once again,
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:27
			if someone was able to give $50,000
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:28
			of fundraising,
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:31
			don't look down upon the $50 that you're
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:33
			giving because that's how much I can afford.
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:35
			It's not about 50,000 versus $50.
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:37
			It's about how sincere
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:40
			these $50 came out versus the the 50,000.
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:43
			Yes. They might surpass you with their sincerity.
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:44
			That's what you need to work on
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:48
			Part of, you know, understanding business and trade
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:49
			is you need to realize where you put
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:52
			your money. So, therefore, my brothers, in the
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			second half of Ramadan right now, as we
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:55
			come closer to the last 10 nights of
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:57
			the month of Ramadan, you need to scale
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:59
			yourself and scale up to that moment.
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:02
			Where are you gonna put your investment? My
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:04
			precious time, when am I gonna put that
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:04
			right now?
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:07
			Should I put it during the day, during
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:09
			the night? Do I put it with friends?
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:10
			Do I put it online? Do I put
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:11
			it with the Quran?
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:13
			Where are you gonna put your investment?
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:16
			Be a smart business person and make sure
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:19
			to study the market very well. Brothers and
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:21
			sisters, in order for you to have that
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:22
			done well,
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:24
			remember, I might have multiple intentions what I'm
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:27
			doing this for. Always remind yourself to keep
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:28
			the intention, the purpose for the sake of
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:30
			Allah as they were done. And part of
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:32
			it as well when you invest money, you're
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:33
			not gonna just put your money there and
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:35
			not keep following up with
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:37
			it. Don't ruin your good deeds.
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:40
			Do not ruin your good deeds. Safeguard your
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:41
			investment.
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:43
			Don't show off. There's no reality out there.
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:45
			Don't come for loyalty and what is besides
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:46
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:48
			Don't try to taunt people with your good
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:51
			deeds that you're doing. Don't don't ruin your
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:52
			good deeds. Don't be so arrogant.
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:55
			All these will ruin everything that you're doing.
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:58
			Remember, to safeguard your investment as well too.
		
00:14:58 --> 00:15:00
			And when you work, it's not about working
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:02
			so hard at your mind. It's about working
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:05
			so smart. Working so smart, and that's when
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:06
			you need to choose your investment. Well,
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:08
			May Allah make us among those who invest
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:09
			well with Allah
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:12
			and make our investment with him and our
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:13
			exchange and trade fruitful.
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:39
			My dear brothers and sisters, I just said,
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:41
			you know, that we're a few days away
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:42
			from half,
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:44
			time of the month of Ramadan.
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:47
			And, one thing that we have to understand
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:49
			and remember when it comes to our money,
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:51
			we can put that in our hand and
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:53
			use it for the next day. So your
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:55
			capital in this dunya, you can still save
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:56
			it for another day.
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:59
			But your capital for the akhara, you can't
		
00:15:59 --> 00:15:59
			save that.
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:02
			Once the day passes, it's over.
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:06
			So every single day is a golden opportunity
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:09
			to basically make your your investment the best
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:11
			investment that you can think of every single
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:14
			day. You cannot save your days for another
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:15
			day. You can't.
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:18
			As in the hadith, that every single day
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:20
			when it when when it comes,
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:22
			there's a call that calls upon you when
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:23
			the when the sun rises.
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:24
			Adam.
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:28
			I'm a new day, a fresh day,
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:29
			and I'll be witness
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:31
			for you or against
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:34
			you. So every single day that passes,
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:36
			you can't call it back again.
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:40
			So, therefore, if you wanna really safeguard your
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:40
			investment,
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:42
			make sure that every single day is a
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:44
			day that you value as if it's the
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:46
			only day that you're living in this dunya.
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:49
			And you trade everything that you have
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:51
			in this day. Don't wait for the next
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:52
			day.
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:54
			As if you're living only for this day.
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:55
			So make sure to do it and do
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:57
			it right inshallah and hadith
		
00:16:58 --> 00:16:59
			hadith al Faseela.
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:02
			The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam says
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:09
			If the hour is being established, which means
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:10
			the day of judgement is being established.
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:13
			And one of you has in their hand
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:14
			a shoot of a plant.
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:20
			If you get the chance
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:23
			to just put this shoot now plant, put
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:25
			the roots into the ground, just put it
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:25
			there
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:28
			before everything is over. You should do that.
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:31
			What does that mean? Never ever feel it's
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:33
			too late for investment and trading and exchanging
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:34
			with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:36
			Even if you haven't done well in the
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:38
			first 10, 11 days of Ramadan,
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:40
			make sure to do the best inshallah to
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:41
			end up what's coming up.
