her family. We also have the death announcement of uncle of Aslam Durrani who passed away in

			Hamdulillah we praise Allah subhanho wa Taala the most majestic and the Most High. In him we put our
trust and on him Do we rely? He is our Rob and our Mola, our only ally. It isn't turning to him that
the souls Beautify. And it is by remembering him that the hearts purify. We ask Allah Subhana Allah
to Allah that our good deeds multiply, and that he causes our sins and evil to nullify. May Salatin
Salam be upon the one to whose prophethood we all testify as to what follows Allah subhanho wa Taala
has reminded us to be conscious of him when he says in the Quran Yeah, you hola Dina Amanu Tapachula
haka to RT wala temotu illa. One two Muslim moon. Dear Muslims now that Ramadan has come to an end,
		

			all too often, we fall into our previous habits and have the most destructive of those habits is
something that the Quran has explicitly warned against in multiple verses, in the beginning of Surah
10 Menon of the helmet may known, we all know that the first characteristic is a lady known for your
Salah to him cos your own those that have who short in their salah. But what is the second
characteristic mentioned in this series of verses? It is that characteristic that we have to be
especially vigilant of now that Ramadan has come to an end and the hustle and bustle of our A
Baghdad and our rituals and our routine and our coming to the masjid have come to an end and we have
		

			so much free time. What is the second characteristic that Allah azza wa jal describes that people
have filled with those as well Ladino whom I they love, we more or you don't? Even before Allah
talks about Zeca and Allah talks about being honest and upholding your promises. The second
characteristic of the people of for those those who turn away from idle, useless law who will Lavina
whom and Allah with more ideal Dawn, in fact, this reality of turning away from low of turning away
from useless things, it is a constant theme throughout the Quran. Allah subhanho wa Taala describes
it as being of the essential characteristics of the movement. In multiple occasions. Allah azza wa
		

			jal describes the believers for example, in pseudo classes, where either somebody or Allahu Allahu
Anhu when they hear useless stuff, wasting time, they turn away from it, we'll call you learner or
maluna Welcome to come. And they say we have our ways our lifestyle, our deeds, and you have your
deeds. Salaam Alaikum peace be unto you land up till Hilda Helene, we don't have time to be with the
Jah Hill, the righteous don't waste their time, and they don't participate in gatherings that waste
their time. In yet another verse, Allah subhanho wa Taala mentions in the conclusion of certain four
con and by the way, the beginning of certain movement on and the ending of Soto for con, please read
		

			them after the hotbar these are checklists of how to get to fit a dose literally point one point 2.3
Both of them Allah concludes by describing the believers and then saying those are the people that
are going to enter for those. Those are the people that are going after the highest Guardians The
hoerauf And in both of them have the essential characteristics. Allah azza wa jal says we're either
Maru below we Maru ki Rahman Surah Furqan. When they pass by law, who they pass by with dignity,
they don't get involved in the time wasting when they pass by other people gathering together to
waste their time to backbite. to slander to just as we send English shoot the breeze, they have
		

			better things to do more Rukia Rama, they go by with dignity. And therefore in these verses and
others, Allah azza wa jal emphasizes that of the characteristic of the believer is that he does not
get involved in law who now what exactly is law? What's the technical definition of law who
		

			Our scholars say that every type of speech that is of no benefit, every type of speech that doesn't
have any wisdom, no wise purpose, and especially speech that is not fought out, it is just gossip
and vain talk. It constitutes love, hope. And in fact, to give you an idea of what is low, another
verse will make us understand, Allah says, now you are who do Kamala who Billa with the Emani come
while I can market to a man, Allah is not going to call you to task for the low of your oats in
Allah, but rather what you say with firmness, what you say with intent. In other words, you know,
when we speak to our friends, we might just say, Oh Allah, He that places the best will lie that
		

			food was the best food I've ever had. And everybody knows when you say, well, Allah He, you're not
giving like a solemn oath, like a, like a court of law. Like you're saying, well, law here, I'm
gonna honor the contract. Everybody knows this, that when you say it as a figure of speech of Allah,
He, it's not the same as when you say it in a serious gathering. Allah calls this No, you didn't
think about it. Even though it's not wrong. It's not Boulton. But when you didn't think about it,
and it wasn't done wisely, even when you use the name of Allah, Allah says, I shall overlook this
level. In other words, anything that doesn't have a wisdom or benefit, anything that is not of use
		

			to you, or the worldly sense or of an accurate sense, it actually constitutes a type of level And
subhanAllah brothers and sisters will law he all of us are guilty of law who all of us are guilty of
spending too much time in useless or idle matters, and in going to gatherings that are of absolutely
no benefit to us. On the contrary, many of those gatherings are going to harm us or hurt us or
regret on the Day of Judgment. Our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Never does a person
attend a gathering in which Allah is not mentioned, and vicar is not done, except that on the Day of
Judgment, that gathering will be a source of regret. Notice, he didn't say punishment, not every
		

			gathering you go to is gonna get punished. But if you wasted your time, nothing was accomplished. On
the Day of Judgment, you're going to be pinching yourself, I wasted three hours on that day, five
hours, I didn't do anything, I could have done something of use. So there's certain types of Lahu
that are actual sin, and that's gatherings of backbiting gatherings of slander gatherings where
people do bad things. And then there's other level which might not be a sin, but you didn't get gain
anything, you didn't benefit anything. And the believer is wiser than that. The believer does not
waste his most precious commodity, that commodity that cannot be purchased with money. And that is
		

			the commodity of time. The believer spends his time wisely. And that is why Allah azza wa jal says,
Wait a minute, Ruby, love women Rukia Rama when they pass by law, who they are dignified. And Allah
says what they say is Lana maluna.
		

			And they're saying this to themselves. You don't have to say this verbally. But you say to yourself,
I have my deeds. I have to think about what I'm doing with my life, and you have yours. That's your
business. I'm not responsible for you, but I am responsible for myself, Lana, maluna. What Malcolm
produces sisters, now that Ramadan is over, and many of us we are slipping back into our previous
lifestyles. I remind myself and all of you that this is the ideal time, the opportune time to think
critically about how much time we're actually not even spending doing that, which is wise, how much
time we waste in that which is no and as I said, not all law who is bolted not all law who is
		

			sinful, but all law who is a waste of time and all law who is not going to benefit us. So the
believer chooses wisely and only gets involved with that which will be of benefit. How do we go
about practically avoiding such things? First and foremost, don't put yourself in situations where
you're going to waste your time you yourself, be wise, you don't have to accept every single
invitation. Choose wisely. You don't have to walk into every single gathering. Our Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, of the perfection of one's Iman is that you leave that which is of
no concern to you. Choose wisely, where you go and what you spend your time with. And one of the
		

			ironic terms which is very beautiful, Allah says a certain moment on that they are more a real boon
to the whole they turn their backs to the whole look at the profundity they don't even tempt
themselves, they don't even lend an ear and then see what's going on with the gossip and then sit
down know when they pass by the gatherings of love who they pass by with dignity. You don't have to
be nasty to the people but why should you spend time with doing nothing so notice the Quranic term
out although and who more ideal doing they turn their backs away from level so you'll be wise about
wearing
		

			You go and how you spend your time of the ways as well is that we should be conscious that Lahore
involves the tongue. So we make up any negatives with the tongue by positives of the tongue in a
beautiful Hadith narrated in the Senate have been the Saudi Abdullah bin at the OFA, one of the
Sahaba he described the prophets of Allah who either he was set up, somebody asked him, tell me how
the Profit System was, he said, Can you look through the ticker, he would always be doing zikr and
he would minimize level he would minimize laahu Now when we're talking about the profit system level
doesn't mean anything better. But it just means you know, conversation that is of no value that
		

			would be minimal and thicker would be maximum. So in order to counteract low, we need to develop a
lifestyle of vicar, constantly remembering Allah and to speak and to meet also have the ways to
counter low which is explicit in the hadith is by giving charity. In fact, we just gave zakat on
feta two, three days ago, and do you know what the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said in an
authentic hadith he said that the cattle fitter is to make a Farah for the law who have the one who
has fasting literally the Zika is going to be a confounder for the time wasted while fasting. And so
of the ways we get rid of the hope is by charity in one Hadith as well an unnecessary our Prophet
		

			sallallahu either he was selling them pass by the marketplace, and he said, these bazaars, these
souks, there's a lot of low going on here, and so purify it by giving charity and therefore we
should realize that time wasting and doing the whole one of the ways to overcome that is that we
give some charity for the sake of Allah subhana wa Tada and of the ways as well, we counteract law
who is to choose friends with wisdom, and this is something we should constantly do. Brothers and
sisters were Allah who would go through our fridge in our pantries we throw away that which is not
benefit to us might harm us. I'm telling you, honestly, we need to do the same with our
		

			acquaintances. Who exactly do you socialize with? Is that person a positive influence? Or is that
person dragging you down? A person follows the religion of his friends, a person follows the dean
and a flap of his friends. If you're with a group of people who constantly back by slander, or in
the lace suit, latest gossip, then why are you a part of that group withdraw from that and find
another group that is a group of a group of vicar, a group of righteousness, a group that is going
to benefit you? A person follows the clock of your friends of his friends, so be careful who your
friends are brothers and sisters, one of the most amazing things about the the concept of low is
		

			that Allah subhanho wa Taala actually describes Jana as being a place where there is no law
whatsoever in multiple verses in the Quran. Allah azza wa jal says that the place of Jannah law
Allah one fee her one theme, there is no idle talk, nor is there any evil there and Allah azza wa
jal says in the Quran that that
		

			nice Martin if you Hello one Illa Salama, they will not hear any low they're only going to hear
Salam in Jana. Live smarten up, hello, one, one female, they're not going to hear Lahu nor any evil
speech in five verses, Allah describes Jana as a place that is absent of low therefore what this
indicates is that if we want to get to Jana, we should strive that in this world we minimize our
gatherings of local brothers and sisters time is now open for us after the month of Ramadan. Let us
fill that time with that which is wise with that which is beneficial for us. And to conclude this
issue of level please understand that level is not good talk in which you comfort a person or you
		

			find out what they're doing or you have brotherhood in a hallway. This is the essence of Eman to
have positive conversations Lahu means vain talk idle talk talk that is of no benefit and generally
involves other people or involves backbiting or riba or it involves gossip and slander or it
involves complete wastage of time, of course gatherings where our brotherhood is increased and we
find out the situation and hundreds of others and our whole work is for the sake of Allah. This is
the essence of Eman and it is not a part of law who we ask Allah azza wa jal to make us of those who
when they see level they turn and they walk away May Allah subhana wa Tada bless me and you within
		

			through the Quran and may make us of those who is verses they understand and applies halal and haram
throughout their lifespan as scholars forgiveness he was will ask him for his the love for and the
Rockman.
		

			Alhamdulillah All praise is due to Allah the one and the unique. He is He it is when we worship, and
it is his aid that we seek. He is the Lord of the oppressed and the one who answers the call of the
week. Brothers and sisters. We have spoken about philosophy multiple times in the last week. And
some amongst us even feel a sense of fatigue hearing
		

			about philosophy and we have spoken about it almost every single day.
		

			If we get tired of merely speaking about it, what do you think of those that are living that tragedy
right now, one of the things we cannot do is to ignore that reality. And in fact, my advice to
myself and all of you is that do not scroll over those images and those videos that we see on
Facebook and on our WhatsApp, rather watch them so that your hearts remain alive at the pain and
suffering that is happening. As we speak. The situation has gone from bad to worse, and there's only
so much that we can do.
		

			I advise myself in all of you first and foremost, to follow the news. Log on just for the sake of
that particular area. Find out what is going on and understand and listen. So that perhaps in sha
Allah, Allah, our hearts will always remain motivated, as well do not trivialize the spiritual
elements of combating this problem. I have spoken multiple times about this dua, and vicar and, and
charity and helping out in whatever way that spirituality feeling a part of the OMA that
spirituality in sha Allah to Allah will be our salvation on the Day of Judgment do not trivialize
dua, if the least that the DUA will accomplish is that it will soften our hearts it has accomplished
		

			enough. And Allah knows maybe a dua from a righteous amongst us might be accepted, as well. Dear
Muslims, I want every one of us to educate himself or herself about the political realities of
philosophy and so that you can challenge the narrative in your own circle of friends. In your own
acquaintances, I want every one of you to become an ambassador for this cause because it is an
Islamic cause. Do not allow any of your friends or acquaintances to say something that is incorrect,
become a beacon of information. If all of us did this, then the narrative will change. Every one of
you has friends in your own circle your colleagues at work, every one of you has people that follow
		

			you on Facebook that have the opposite news that have the incorrect understanding, perhaps you can
be the one whom Allah uses to change one person's narrative and gain one ally and support be
proactive and be wise and know your facts know your figures. And that requires you to study as well.
Also, brothers and sisters, now is also the time to monitor our own elected officials and others in
our community who are allying with the wrong side. And of course, it's true, our quantities are
small, but in some areas, we can have clout and influence and eventually insha, Allah Allah, we will
have the numbers to have a change across this country. But there are areas in this country where we
		

			already have those demographics, we cannot sit by silently when our own elected officials make such
statements, challenge them, tweet at them, write to them. And if there's alternative candidates in
the next election, the least we can do is to make this one of the key issues that we judge the
validity of a candidate by what is a person's stance on philosophy, and what is the person's stance
on Israel. That should be one of the key issues that we look at every time somebody runs for public
office. Also, as I have said before, no matter how painful it is, but we also have traitors in our
midst who are clearly and vocally allying with the wrong side, or cuddling up with entities that
		

			themselves have long agendas, we have to monitor them and make sure we do not forget that in this
time of crises. These people some of whom even have some knowledge they they took they were on the
wrong side of history, as well. Brothers and sisters, one of the most difficult things to say there
are some people that are misguided in their understanding of Islam. And unfortunately, they make
this issue, nothing to do with the apartheid regime. And they blame the Muslims are they blame other
entities or they blame a political group and fall asleep and they say the fault is all theirs?
Forget those other issues. Right now we have an aggressor, and we have those upon whom aggression is
		

			done. Right now we have a volume and we have a volume, anybody who ignores the volume, anybody who
ignores the Zionist apartheid entity and concentrates on maybe some mistakes were made, or maybe
other issues have to be done. But now is not the time we have a clear enemy. I do want mobian And
for anybody to ignore that enemy and to instead say it's your fault or your fault or your fault,
then this is an internal enemy. We will discuss our differences later on. No doubt they're different
understandings of Islam. But right now the Ummah has to unite under the banner of la ilaha illAllah
Muhammad Rasul Allah, anybody who wants to divide the Ummah now anybody who's going to point fingers
		

			within the OMA, even as the bombs are dropping, and you ignore them, this is a person who the least
that we can say about him, lacks complete wisdom and ACHEMA and does not understand the reality of
Islam. And I say this because I know some of them were
		

			sincere and some of them genuinely believe this is their version of Islam but they are misguided and
mistaken, even if Allah forgives them on the Day of Judgment, and we need to call out this
backwardness of trying to find fault with other Muslims and other understandings and ignoring the
bigger enemy in the room. There is a time and a place to talk about internal issues right now, when
people are dying and children are being buried and bombs are falling on our heads. Now is not the
time to divide and disunite also brothers and sisters, there are charities that Al Hamdulillah are
doing positive deeds in, in Philistine and there are hospitals that we can help. There are other
		

			things that can be done, find out any registered charity that we're allowed to give to and help and
also find out about the BDS movement. The BDS movement is an economic pressure that the Muslims can
put any company that is supporting any company that is operating in occupied territories, any
company that is benefiting from that illegal occupation, find out what they are, publicize them
amongst us and tell us to boycott that company do not buy products of that company, we have to apply
economic pressure. When our profits are migrated to Medina, one of the conditions of the treaty
inside Medina was that the hood of Medina could not deal economically with the Quraysh. If they did
		

			so they would break the treaty, you have to use economic pressure as well. And this is what the BDS
movement is and every Muslim should be a supporter of this movement. These are some of the pressures
that we can do. And of course, more than this is that which other entities and governments can do,
we do what we can now you can live for Allah who enough son in law was but brothers and sisters, the
philosophy and issue the Palestine issue is not something that we can ever ignore. It's not
something we can ever trivialize further Steen and Masjid Al Aqsa is our Holy Land, if it is taken
whether you have to build out or you had to build. We're all failures right now, the people are
		

			Philistine and the people at the forefront. These are the people that we need to be making dua for
we should be proud of every single woman child and man amongst them. Well Allah He brothers and
sisters, a great scholar online he said, those people that have died over there, they're the ones
that are alive and all of us here we are dead. We seek Allah's refuge, those that have died in
philosophy in defending Aqsa, they're the ones who are alive because Allah says in the Quran that
the Shaheed is not dead, and here we are the entire Ummah and we can do nothing it is as a
spiritually spiritually we have failed, we ask Allah azza wa jal for his refuge locally for Allah
		

			who enough sun Illa wasa these are some points and they shall allow to other experts and those that
know can give us more details. But every one of us must do our job and every one of us must do
something so that we can tell Allah on the Day of Judgment, Oh Allah, I tried my best. This is all
that I could do. And that's what I did. And perhaps in that small amount, perhaps Allah azza wa jal
might forgive us Allahumma in NIDA and for aminu, Allah Allah Allah Allah if you had an Yomi them
