			Tip number seven
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:19

00:03:42 --> 00:04:31
			Alhamdulillah we praise the loss of Hannah hooter, Allah, the majestic and the Most High. In Him, we
put our trust in Him do we rely, he revealed to us his speech, whose recitation with our voices we
beautify. And he gave to us actually, that we strive to live by. We ask Allah to forgive our sins on
the last day and our good deeds amplify, may saw that and Salah be upon the one the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, to whose Prophethood we all testify, dear Muslims, Allah subhana wa
tada reminds us to be conscious of him when he says in the Quran, yeah, you Hello Dina Amano. topo,
Lahore to Karachi mutanda illa one to Muslim moon in a hadith reported in the Sahih Muslim our
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:59
			Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said in a sheath on a yes and yeah Buddhahood masala Luna
features eaten out of what can fit to Harry Shiva you know whom shaitan has given up hope of being
worshiped by those who prey in the Arabian Peninsula. shavon has given up hope of being worshipped
by those who prey in the Arabian Peninsula. What is meant
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:49
			By the Arabian Peninsula as the Muslims because the Muslims of Arabia used to be pagans. So when he
is saying the Arabian Peninsula that means the Muslims shavon has given up hope of ever being
worshipped again, idolatry will not come back to the oma once a person has believed in a law once a
person prays so then what is the goal of shavonne if the Muslim oma is not going to revert to
idolatry, what's going to happen? Why not can fit Rishi bainer home, but instead shaitan is aiming
to incite divisions between them. The goal of shavon is no longer idolatry. He has given up that
hope, as a majority oma, the mainstream Muslims shall never revert to idolatry. This is a prediction
		
00:05:49 --> 00:06:37
			as Mr. manoli and others have said, it is a prediction that has borne true throughout all Islamic
lands. Never has any religion spread so fast, so quickly. So permanently, like Islam has never have
masses of people embrace the new faith, and then remained firm on that faith from Kazakhstan all the
way to underdose from the lens of Indian avani son all the way down South Africa, throughout these
regions, wherever Islam spread, it's remained up until this day, accepted politics kicked it out
like under this otherwise, wherever Islam spread it remained and our promises and predicted this
shaytan is not going to now target you with idolatry with paganism that is gone. That's not going to
		
00:06:37 --> 00:07:31
			happen as the mainstream. So then what is Plan B of shavon? If he cannot get you to worship idols,
he has decided that the next biggest thing that he can succeed in is to disunite is to cause
divisions is to incite of hatred, what I can fit it Shiva in a home. And this shows us dear Muslims,
the evils of division, because one shavon cannot get you to worship an idol. What is the next thing
he falls down to? Subhana Allah look at what is number two on the list. Worse than many of the major
sins is when the oma is divided because a major sin between me and a lot when the oma is divided all
of us suffer when the oma is disunited that we collectively become weak. And so the second tactic of
		
00:07:31 --> 00:08:18
			shavon What can fit it she benina home. So this shows us so many things. First and foremost, it
shows us that shaitan is an active enemy is not a passive enemy. shavonne is assessing shavonne is
like a military general who is looking at the troops looking at the enemy's tactics, looking at what
is happening and re evaluating the next strategy. shaitan tried to get the early Muslims to go back
to idolatry in the reign of Abu Bakr Siddiq, there was the movement of ryda. And it seemed as if it
might be successful, but the Sahaba grouped up together and a lot of preserved eemaan through the
wisdom of Oba Caruso did and the Sahaba. And idolatry was permanently wiped out, as predicted by the
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:58
			prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So what did that evil that cunning military general known as
shavonne do? What did that conniving entity do? He decided that if I cannot have them worship idols,
I will make sure every group is bickering with another. Every person has problems with another,
every society, every community is going to be at odds with another, and I am satisfied if I can get
to that level. So our Prophet being the loving prophet that he is Salalah, who I think he would sell
him, he's warning us all Muslims, be careful that shavon does not succeed in this plot. How are some
of the ways that shaytaan will do this, first and foremost, and the worst of them, and the most
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:43
			disgusting of them and the most vile of them is by causing division based upon imaginary
differences, not even real differences of skin color, differences of caste, differences of
tribalism, differences of ethnic origin, differences of nation state, all of these differences are
man made and superficial. All of these differences mean nothing in the eyes of Allah subhanho wa
Taala. Who cares where you were born? Who cares where your parents were from? Who cares what
nationality you have in a Chroma come in de la he a taco, but shaitan comes along and shaytaan
causes us to raise our children that we are so in so be careful of that group. Be careful of that
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:59
			ethnicity. Be careful of that person. We are this group. They are that group. We are this nation,
they are that nation, we are this tribe, they are that tribe, and shaytan causes us to feel an
element of superiority. There's nothing wrong with liking your culture. The problem comes
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:44
			When you think your culture your land, your language is inherently better than others. That is the
problem. There's nothing wrong with being happy about you speak multiple languages, about your
cuisine about your different ethnicities, no problem. But the minute you think that your race your
nation state is inherently better, and you start categorizing all of those people of that land, all
Pakistanis like this all Bengalis like this, all the Egyptians like that, or all skin colors like
this, know that shaitan has succeeded in this issue called Irish. The Irish means inciting one group
against another stereotypes caricatures. This is the tactic of shavon Be careful, do your Muslims.
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:47
			Remember the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to a Buddha,
		
00:10:48 --> 00:11:27
			when he said something that he should not have said to be learned. He said to him that oh Buddha,
you still have some jelly in your heart. You still have some jelly? Yeah, you should not have said
this about a person of a different race and above without immediately apologized and asked for
forgiveness. Remember what our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, about tribalism leave it
for it is rotting. It is infested leave it leave this tribalism my tribe better than your tribe, it
is of the tactics of shape on the second way that shaitan comes in is that if he cannot succeed at
the tribal level, if he cannot succeed at the community level, he will go down to the individual
		
00:11:27 --> 00:12:10
			level and he will cause brother to not speak to Brother cousin to break off from cousin friends to
have suspicions amongst themselves. If he cannot succeed at the community level. He will take it
down to the individual level. Anytime dear Muslim, anytime you hide a friendship or the bonds of
kinship with another person and you no longer have that bond realize shavon has succeeded. Realize
shaytaan has one one more in his battle to cause division amongst us realize, dear Muslims of the
most vicious tactics of shape bond is rumor mongering, slandering, spreading evil about another's
LIBOR Mima, somebody is going to come and say so and so said this about you. And all of a sudden
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:50
			that friendship you had is broken. And that's why the one who does Riba and the one who spreads it,
there are both doing things that should not be done because it breaks the bonds of society. When the
Prophet Yusuf Alayhi, salaam had issues with his brother and his brothers did whatever they did at
the end of the story, when he reconciled with them, what did he say, Man, by the anessa shavon obey
any webinar and hottie shake on was the one who caused those evils between me and my brother He
blamed shape on even though his brothers did certain things. But shavon was the one who whispered
shavon was the one who caused it all to happen because the brothers felt to their jealousy. And so
		
00:12:50 --> 00:13:32
			realize shavon wants you to not be friends with that Muslim brother You were friends with He wants
you to have problems with your family, he wants you to break off the ties, and therefore you have to
be the better of the two. The last point will mention here, and perhaps the most evil of all, of all
incitement. Perhaps the worst of all, is that which takes place between the spouses between the
husband and wife. In the authentic hadith in Sahih. Muslim shaitan sits on his throne every day, and
he assesses his minions. I told you he's a general I told you he has his troops. I told you he sends
them out. The Hadith tells us this every day or every night shaytaan welcomes the military generals
		
00:13:32 --> 00:14:18
			back to his to his palace to his entourage and he asked them what did you do? And everyone says I
did this I did this and he trivializes. Then this one shape on comes and he said and he says to
Emily's the big herbalist. He says to him, I continued giving watsa to a person until he broke off
with his wife. Notice the phrasing module two I continued, I continued pestering, continued making
something small, bigger, continue telling the husband or the wife this and this was what's up until
finally he ended up divorce. According to the Hadith, shaitaan stands up and embraces this devil and
he says you have accomplished something today. This is the essence of of breaking up the bonds for
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:56
			something that might be trivial, of causing a marriage to come to an end for a reason that was not
legitimate and who was behind it all. All of this is coming from the tactics of shaytaan. So these
are three mechanisms or three areas we need to be careful in brothers and sisters number one at the
community level at the level of a tribe or a nation number two at the individual level, our
relatives, our friends, our families, and number three at the spouse level realized a bond is
attacking all of these bonds. He's given up that we're going to worship idols, but he has not given
up breaking the ties of kinship and the ties of brotherhood and the ties of husband and wife. So we
		
00:14:56 --> 00:15:00
			have to be extra vigilant and make sure we do not fall prey.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:13
			To the tactics of shaitaan May Allah subhana wa tada bless me and you within through the Quran and
may make us of those who is versus they understand unemployment is higher than heroin throughout our
lifespan. I asked forgiveness you as well ask him for his level of food under a human
		
00:15:24 --> 00:16:09
			hamdulillah Hanwha hadn't had a summit Aladdin, Amelia, whatever you like me akula Hakuna ahead,
we're back do what are some of the ways we can counter the tactics of faith on three things, number
one, number one, what we say and what we hear. The main source of tension between any two people is
the tongue and then the ear for what it hears from the tongue. So we have to be very vigilant about
what we say. and ignore as much as we can what we hear somebody else comes and tells us so and so
said, to shut your ear ignore it. Ignore it, don't make attention to it. You as well be careful what
you say about other people. In fact, Allah subhanho wa Taala explicitly links breaking of the bonds
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:13
			with what the tongue says in the Quran. wakulla everybody.
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:17
			Welcome everybody. yaku Lottie here son in
		
00:16:18 --> 00:17:01
			law obey the home, tell my servants, they should speak always good speech, because she Thawne causes
enmity between them via the speech, tell my servants their speech should be Noble. Their speech
should not be Riba slandering, bickering, backbiting, putting people down making fun of others, keep
your speech noble because when you go down shavon takes your slip and causes that slip to become
much bigger than it needs to be. But you're the one who slipped up only everybody Akala t here and
in the shavon Ian's albina home say the essence speech, otherwise shaytaan will come and cause
problems between people. So you need to monitor your tongue and you need to ignore much of what you
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:44
			hear about others through your ears. Number two, the second thing that we need to do is to make dua
to Allah subhana wa tada to have what is in Arabic called ulb. Salim a pure heart. We don't want to
heart that is full of jealousy, a heart that is full of anger, a heart that is always trying to find
faults of other people's know. Allah says in the Quran, that the people who will enter agenda are
those who come to Alabama Taliban Salim. They come to allow with a pure heart and Ibrahim alayhis
salam is praised in the Quran is Jara bin Salim, he came to Allah with a pure heart, so we need to
make dua to Allah make dua O Allah give me hope, Selim. Don't give me a heart that has jealousy and
		
00:17:44 --> 00:18:25
			enmity, animosity. Don't give me a heart that wants to put other people down. I want to have a pure
heart to Allah so you don't get involved in the Taylor call. In the he said, she said, in the
proliferation of Libra and Amoeba, your heart is pure. And the last point dear brothers and sisters,
and of course, much more can be said, but time is always limited. The last point is the fact B, let
t hear us and for either the bayonet Cobain or I don't know what do you mean, when something bad
comes to you some news that is negative, somebody mistreats you, you be the better of the two for
the sake of law. in any situation, you strive to be the better of the two. Allah says in the Quran,
		
00:18:25 --> 00:19:05
			repel evil with good, repel evil with good and you will find that the one that was an enemy to you
will become your closest ally. And friend, if you stand up for the sake of a law and you forgive for
the sake of a law and you return that negative comment with the positive somebody says something bad
and you give him a gift somebody puts you down in one gathering, you go to another gathering and you
praise him behind his back you do it not for his ego, you do it not to make something for him but
for the sake of Allah subhana wa tada so that you have the highest reward so that you attain the
pleasure of Allah, guess what, if you do this, you will attain the pleasure of Allah and you will
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:42
			gain the friendship of the one that was your enemy. So these are the three simple tactics. Point
number one is to monitor what are we saying here? Point number two have a clean heart. And point
number three, repel evil with good and that will not allow you to either make us the better of the
two May Allah subhanho wa Taala make us of those who have the Elven surname and have the pure tongue
and have nothing but good thoughts for other people may I'm making duraceramic do I with me? A lot.
We ask that you do not allow for any sin of ours to remain except that you have erased them. Oh
Allah we ask that every worry of ours is converted and dispersed from our law convert every sick of
		
00:19:42 --> 00:20:00
			ours to someone who is cured. I will love our law every deceased amongst us forgive them our law,
our law our loved ones Oh Allah protect them. Oh Allah, our debts repay them. Oh Allah, our
difficulties ease them with your mercy r Rahmani r Rahim. Allah bring glory to Islam and
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:39
			It's people and they make it blessed and peaceful and protected from those who desire for it evil
and protect ourselves from any civil wars and upheaval with your power Yakubu Aziz servants of
Allah. Allah subhanho wa Taala has commanded you with a matter that he began with himself. And he
followed it up by asking the angels themselves and he told us to implement it ourselves for he said
in the Koran in the law homiletical do so. Luna nebby Yeah, you aladeen amanu sallu alayhi wa sallam
with us Nima Allahumma salli wa sallim wa barik winrm, Abu Kurosawa, Mohammed Ali, he was a huge
Marine, by the law in the law. Tada. Yeah. Anyway.
