			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 wa
Taala that our good deeds multiply, and that he causes our sins and evil to nullify. May Salatu
Salam be upon the one to his prophethood we all testify as to what follows Allah subhana wa tada has
reminded us to be conscious of him when he says in the Quran, you Hello Dina multiple law helper to
potty while otter mutanda illa one two Muslim on dear Muslims now that Ramadan has come to an end,
		

			all too often, we fall into our previous habits and of the most destructive of those habits is
something that the Quran has explicitly warned against in multiple verses in the beginning of surah
Tell me known as the Hellmuth Menon. We all know that the first characteristic is a lady known csrt
him harsher on those that have who shorten 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 ibadat 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 xojo describes the people have fitted those as well ladina whom
I didn't know we more or didn't. Even before Allah talks about zecca 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 low one Lavina whom Angela who is more ideal don't. In fact, this
reality of turning away from law who have turning away from useless things, it is a constant theme
throughout the Quran. Allah subhana wa tada describes it as being of the essential characteristics
of the movement. in multiple occasions. Allah xojo describes the believers for example, in Surah
		

			costs what he does Samir Allah, Allahu anhu, when they hear useless stuff, wasting time, they turn
away from it, we'll call it Lou, Lana ahmadu. Now what a kung fu come, and they say we have our ways
our lifestyle, our deeds, and you have your deeds. Salaam Alaikum, peace be unto you learn up to
Hill Jaya healing, we don't have time to be with the giant 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 won't be known and the ending of circle four on please read them after the hotbar these are
		

			checklists of how to get to fit those literally, point 1.2 point three, 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 to be the highest guardians the hoerauf. And in both of them of
the essential characteristics. Allah azza wa jal says what either Maru below him or Rukia Rama surah
Furqan. One day 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 Maru kirana 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. Whoa. Now what exactly
is law? What's the technical definition of level? 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 thought out? It is just gossip and vain talk, it constitutes level. And in fact,
to give you an idea of what is the whole another verse will make us under
		

			Stand. Allah says, Now you are who do como la who Billa with a mannequin while I can my apartment a
man, Allah is not going to call you to task for the law who have your oats in a law, 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 law he you're not given like a solemn oath like
a, like a court of law. Like you're saying, well law here I'm going to honor the contract. Everybody
knows this, that when you say it as a figure of speech, well law 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 bountiful. 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 No. In other words, anything that
doesn't have a wisdom or benefit, anything that is not of use to you, either worldly sense, or of an
art hero sense, it actually constitutes a type of level and SubhanAllah. Brothers and sisters will
law IE 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 to 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 going to 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 know who 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 there, Maru been
lovely Maru. kerama, one day pass by lagu they are dignified. And Allah says what they say is lenna
are maluna welcome to come. 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, Mr. Luna, welcome, Malcolm, brothers and sisters, now that Ramadan is over, and
many of us we are slipping back into our previous lifestyles, I remind myself in 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 Boulton, not Allah 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 wasallam said, of the perfection of one's Eman 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 is within what we're
		

			doing that they are more 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 ironic term out all do I know who more ideal doing they turn their backs away
from Lego so you'll be wise about where you go and how you spend your time of the ways as well is
that we should be conscious that Lego involves the tongue so we make up any negatives with the
		

			tongue by positives of the tongue in a beautiful Hadith narrated in the sooner the better. Sorry,
I've done the ofa one of the Sahaba he described the Prophet salallahu idea he was set up somebody
asked him Tell me how the Prophet system was, he said gonna yoke through Vicar. He would also
		

			Always be doing Vicar and he would minimize level he would minimize level now when we're talking
about the Prophet system level doesn't mean anything vaulted but it just means you know conversation
that is of no value that would be minimal, and Vicar would be maximum. So, in order to counteract
level we need to develop a lifestyle of Vicar, constantly remembering Allah and to spirit and to
Hamid also have the ways to counter the who, which is explicit in the Hadith is by giving charity in
fact, we just gave the cattle fitter two three days ago and you know what the prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam said in an authentic hadith he said that the cattle fitter is to make a cafaro for
		

			the low of the one who has fasting literally does the car is going to be a cofounder for the time
wasted while fasting. And so of the ways we get rid of low hope is by charity. And when Hadeeth is
well then unnecessary. Our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam passed by the marketplace and he said
these bazaars, these souks, there's a lot of level going on here and so purify it by giving charity
and therefore we should realize that time wasting and doing Lahu 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 level is to choose friends with wisdom, and this is something we should constantly do.
		

			Brothers and sisters, Allah who we go through our fridge and our pantries we throw away that which
is not benefit to us might harmless. 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 deen
and a flap of his friends. If you're with a group of people who constantly backbite slander, or in
the latest 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 flock 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 level is that Allah
subhana wa Taala actually describes Jenna as being a place where there is no level whatsoever in
multiple verses in the Quran. Allah azza wa jal says that the place of Jenna Lala one fee her one
theme, there is no idle talk nor is there any evil there and Allah azza wa jal says in the Koran
that that
		

			nice Murphy Hello one Illa Salama, they will not hear any level they're only going to hear Salaam in
Jana lifesmart. no fee Hello, one one. FEMA, they're not going to hear lebeau nor any evil speech in
five verses Allah describes Jana as a place that is absent of law. Therefore, what this indicates is
that if we want to get to Jenna, we should strive that in this world we minimize our gatherings of
Lucha 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 hole. This is the essence of a man 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 liba 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 how of others and our who is for the sake of Allah. This is the essence of the man and
it is not a part of who we ask Allah azza wa jal to make us of those who when they see the who 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 versus they understand and apply is held on and held on throughout their
lifespan. ask Allah for forgiveness, he was will ask him for his liver for under a human
