			Rahim in the Name of Allah, the Gracious merciful, my dear brothers and sisters, As salam o aleikum
in Ramadan mubarak.
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:28
			Once again, we meet in this blessed month of Ramadan, to achieve one goal, and that is to finish
what we had started. We have come a long way, starting from renting a church to say our prayers to
building this beautiful
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:36
			community center. We are one step away from achieving our goal.
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:49
			Let me give you an overview of the construction. We restarted the process last year by getting three
bids from
		
00:23:50 --> 00:24:22
			three local contractors. After careful analysis of the bridge, the construction committee decided to
go with the one who was most cost effective and efficient. The estimated cost of the project pre
COVID was about 800,000. The project ID cost of the project now is about 1.1 million.
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:59
			Let's go over the Phase One B, the total square footage is about 19,000 square feet. It houses six
classrooms, to work out areas to use lounges at the administrative offices, to storm shelters, which
will work as daycare for the infants and toddlers, a kitchenette and a grand foyer. We expect the
project to be finished by the fall of two
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:02
			2023 In sha Allah.
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:39
			All the milestones achieved so far by MMIC is because of the strong commitment and immense support
of the community. So thank you very much for your continued support and trust in the organization.
As I said earlier, we are one step away from reaching our goal. So please help us finish this
project by donating generously as you have always done. May Allah subhana wa Taala bless you
immensely. God bless you all. Thank you.
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:47
			Brother Omar, you can stay Smilla Smilla Rahmanir Rahim wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:51

00:26:10 --> 00:26:12
			Last year in fundraiser
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:59
			in the fundraiser last year, the our team said I took too long. So this time they sent Dr. Umar
Farooq to monitor so I will try to stick to the script. This time. I'm gonna Shalabh in the Rahmani
started. So I want to share with you like three or four things that we did three or four things that
we want to do and we want to capsize the vision of MICU with you insha Allah being the Rahman if you
look at it in sha Allah, where we were maybe 2010 to 2020 especially the 2018 19 most of the time
like people might like me who come late, we will bring outside in trauma into our way we were
crowded in the hallways Rabbil Alameen you remember that and Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen we were
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:52
			able to open this spacious and we can play with comfort and ECR rabbil aalameen Even during COVID Al
hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen so we have nurses nice wonderfully spacious, we are sitting and then we
took this land and there is and we have come construct a beautiful sport complex and one of the
things I like about this is that little corner spot that is it. Memphis Zoo inspire water bark for
the little kids that say water bark basically insha Allah will be opening in the next you know,
month or so that the kids can enjoy. This is right now becoming one of the most commonly use spot in
our campus. Al hamdu lillahi rabbil aalameen So we are also one thing we did we open the outdoor
		
00:27:52 --> 00:28:45
			complex of the campus around the pond. Now you can take a walk from Menara building all the way to a
sport complex and combat several miles is not bathe yet, but it's up in Al hamdu lillahi rabbil
aalameen So we up in the facility both indoors and outdoors. And with that our community able to
utilize with festivity aid festival for festival and Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen. Our youth, our
young ones able to generate unforgettable cherishable memory in their family life center. So we want
you to understand Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen you have built you have contributed to the one of
the best and most beautiful and most spacious Islamic centers in the North America. Allahu Akbar
		
00:28:47 --> 00:29:36
			Al hamdu lillahi rabbil aalameen One of the things that we are most proudest, last year, we have Al
hamdu our youth our leadership, our executive leadership that same year they put together what I
consider face the for lobbying, face enriching youth programs for preteens for teens, for college
students, for young professionals where they come together play together, if you can see this, you
can take the beach picture but you cannot capture the joy and the happiness these young people feel
when they forming friendship Inshallah, in this picture, if you look at it, Chef is doing the timing
timekeeping and Youngbae is channeling the rope but she has it has not jumped the rope yet so maybe
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:59
			later tonight we can ask him jump the rope inshallah Rama. So, what we want to become very spacious,
very beautiful center, but we also want to become very spiritual center of the region. No, nor to
the Chicago is to Virginia, south to Florida, west to Texarkana. Anything well
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:17
			As of Texarkana, we will Let's see if he has to handle it in sha Allah. Rahmani r Rahim Allah Allah
me. We want to be on a regional conferences in sha Allah we have a regional scientific Islamic
Conference coming in July. We want to do one for women, one for youth Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil
aalameen.
		
00:30:18 --> 00:31:09
			We also started endowment fund that we started 2002 to 22 with $10,000 Alhamdulillah already have
had close to $100,000 in sha Allah in the next five years we expect that to be 1 million and in the
next 20 years these $10 million we have a brothers who are dedicated and talented and giving their
expertise and time to grow this May Allah grow 10% of what you raised tonight will go to this
inshallah we also have a very robust our programs Alhamdulillah we feel it's our opportunity to
convey the message of Mohamed Salah to lie wa salam O Allah to the greater community. We're gonna
put Quran distributing centers all around Memphis inshallah we have a robust in Dawa, we have in
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:53
			jails we have about 100 and Muslim inmates, we provide Iftar and all that stuff Alhamdulillah we
have almost more than 102 140 new converts to Islam Rabbil Alameen. In just last week in Ramadan, we
had at least five people who took shahada. So please understand, we want to convey this message of
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Allah to the greater community, the future of the center lies
in the youth and the comfort if we don't reach those two displays dies. So we are laser focus to
that Al Hamdulillah. Adam. So if you ask us, what is the fishing of Nic, I want you to hear me
clearly.
		
00:31:54 --> 00:32:42
			Is that family life center, it is a private is spritual Shelby Farms, all of us know what Shelby
Farms look like. That's where we go to exercise to enjoy nature. So how about if you have that, but
you add the privacy and the spiritual component to that, that has been the dream. And that's what it
is. So with that, to continue that will in the next few months. So listen to me closely, I say next
few months, we want to complete these four quick projects that we want to complete for is be that
brother Omar, talk about it, we want to do the walking tracks like Shelby Farms, or our our around
our beautiful bonds, we want to create outdoor bathrooms like BVs did Alhamdulillah and working well
		
00:32:42 --> 00:33:33
			contain and create a storage facility for our lawn mowers and things like this in the next few
months in sha Allah Rubble, ashleigh dim, if Allah accept it with your support. So with that, we are
asking tonight for $100,000 to accomplish the mission. And with that, I started my timer, and I
still have a 23 seconds. So just saw Kamala, Ohio, what's that I'm on a kumara amatola Cat. One of
the things that I love about NYC, and this particular campus is that not only is it very an exciting
place, a very impressive place to be at as it is right now. But it also would, you know, has the
potential to actually for us to do more. So unlike the story of many community centers, where they
		
00:33:33 --> 00:34:25
			talk to the community about how they have outgrown the current location, how, how hard it is to do
things, we're not in crisis mode, what we're in is, we are at the beginning of a great potential. So
it's impressive as it as it is, the potentials of what we can do with this place is great. So anyone
that is part of this story is just going to be there from the beginning, I don't know if people
really realize how, how amazing this is you really have to, to be exposed to, you know, other models
or examples to be able to appreciate what you have here. But this project is unfinished. So and this
is what is exciting about it, that there's more room to grow for us. And we we have the potential to
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:25
			do it.
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:33
			You know, there are great activities and programs in place and there is even more to come.
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:37
			The Masjid
		
00:34:38 --> 00:34:39
			How do you find
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:59
			a place for the elderly to pray while all the youth within pushed away? But is that community
success? Is that really to impress? But we've got a look at the bigger picture that was not what was
made clear in the Scripture. And just like the thread is there far before the quilt and you'd see
man is there before a whole machine is built. Not a place with three
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:40
			Because expectations making it difficult to achieve the obligations, making it impossible without
explanations and if you fail all that is done is that of accusations that is not what it's supposed
to be the lock of the heart needs the key it's instinct to make mistakes but the help should come
for Allah sake. If not everyone feels comfort we've truly have failed the wrong path is how then
We've sailed. Although it started off small and became immense all the hard work put in wasn't just
common sense 901 Omar Costa heart the bond can be broken apart working under them for Allah sake was
a decision that will never be a mistake. All this is a part of a my see where all the true success
		
00:35:40 --> 00:36:00
			is with guarantee a community where love is displayed a community where no one's afraid where good
manners is displayed and the true message is conveyed. Without a harsh expectation making your deen
seem more like a negotiation. The message should be the place you love and preferred all above. So
make this be your sign on how a masjid should be defined.
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:21
			Next up Alhamdulillah is I'm not going to say guests because he's not a guest Mashallah. But our
keynote speaker for tonight somebody that is well known to everybody here, Chef Doctor Yeah, so to
call the please give him a round of applause welcome here. Welcome him here back to Memphis
inshallah. Santa Monica Monica mitula. He'll barakato
		
00:36:23 --> 00:36:26
			hamdulillah How are you guys doing in Ramadan so far?
		
00:36:27 --> 00:36:46
			hamdulillah Al Hamdulillah. You know, I have a rule by the way. You guys know this one I used to
live here. I don't travel and Ramadan. I always stay home. I refuse all invitations, no matter where
it is. I want to stay home. Somebody said to me, but you're traveling to Memphis. I said no, I'm
coming home. So I haven't broken my rule and Hamdulillah.
		
00:36:49 --> 00:36:50
			I looked at my
		
00:36:52 --> 00:37:08
			emails about moving to Memphis a few weeks ago. And subhanAllah it was in March of 2010 13 years ago
from right now. When the discussion began for me to seriously start thinking of moving here.
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:27
			And that same year, we had our first fundraiser as well. And in that fundraiser, we broke I think
national records everywhere. Three, four or 5 million pledged Alhamdulillah. By the way, how many
were in that fundraiser in Germantown
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:33
			mashallah, mashallah, I can't see all the hands raised but I see at least 4050 hands.
		
00:37:34 --> 00:37:39
			It's been 14 years since that event.
		
00:37:40 --> 00:38:05
			1516 Since the vision of MICC you all know the story. I said this multiple times, that division of
MICC when I heard about it, I wasn't involved with it. Right. I was teaching here for the
mothership. And you know, at nisi Montes, house the May Allah forgive her May Allah grant agenda for
those, you know, the famous story of putting it on the napkin that took place more than 15 years
ago.
		
00:38:06 --> 00:38:34
			In the course of the next 1415 years, I have been with you every single fundraiser except for the
last two. And I have seen this semester then community grow from nothing but a seed until it is now
Alhamdulillah, the largest facility and center in the entire tri state area, Mississippi, Alabama,
Tennessee. You guys are number one and hamdulillah Al Hamdulillah.
		
00:38:37 --> 00:39:19
			Because I'm an insider, and I'm still an insider inshallah. I know that the process to get here
wasn't always easy. I know the grumblings and frustrations I was a part of it. I know the feeling of
exasperation, like we're doing this again. And for how many years we kept on wanting to pray in this
facility, a blessing that I didn't get until I moved to Dallas then came back here which is fine. I
had nine years and hamdulillah all my memories over there. Every year we kept on hoping next year,
next year next year. And I remember those frustrations because I was a part of it. And I say this
because in sha Allah Who Tada
		
00:39:20 --> 00:39:59
			once all is said and done. It is not the sweat and tears and frustration that remains. It is the
legacy that has been built. After years and years and years of consistent toil and struggle. This is
our legacy that we are just beginning brothers and sisters. This is the legacy that every one of you
has had a role to play in. And as we look back and we take in and we stand in awe at this mashallah
I mean I could never have imagined Allah He this I could never have imagined this 15 years ago. It
wasn't even in my mind how beautiful this hall would be. But here I am Here
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:41
			You are and I want you to remember every single year those negativities that means you will also
have the Westwater of che THON. And I want you to remember that why because that was wasa is gonna
get you nowhere is gonna bog you down is going to impede you in your progress. The only way you're
going to build a legacy is if you consistently put in every single bit of effort that you can. And
when you look back when the years turn into decades, as they have already turned into decades, these
are now 15 years since the vision began, we are already looking at the second decade, the third
decade.
		
00:40:42 --> 00:41:27
			We need to realize that we have the potential to go much more than this Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah.
You guys, all of us. I'm a part of you. We Allah has blessed us, we have done something amazing. We
have done this amazing family life center. It was always our goal, how many times I stood not on
this stage, but in stages in Germantown, and stages in, in color right next to my house over there,
how many times I stood, and I kept on pushing on you the vision of a family life center, the vision
of a massive banquet hall attached to a masala with all of our parks and all of our playgrounds,
guess what, by and large, we've achieved that vision. And yet here I am again, asking you for more
		
00:41:27 --> 00:42:06
			money. And if Allah gives me life, I'm going to continue coming asking you for more money. Do you
want to know why? Because our vision is not going to be finite. Because our goal is not going to be
stopped simply because we have a beautiful all know, we're going to keep on building we're going to
keep on adding to that legacy. Because this is how legacies are built brothers and sisters
Subhanallah I look back and Allah has blessed me to have met with many of our pioneers in the
American Dawa scene. And in his own small way, my father was also a pioneer as you're in this in his
own small way in Texas. And Allah has blessed me to grow up with, you know, the likes of Ahmed
		
00:42:06 --> 00:42:47
			Sakura would come to Jamal by the way now I'm still in touch with him. These are the pioneers and
visionaries and you don't want you interact with them. You humanize them, you see them, you realize
they weren't angels. They weren't superhuman. They weren't created out of a different cloth than me
and you. They're the same flesh and blood. They're the same people struggling with their daily lives
and their families and their and frankly, their struggles were far more difficult than ours
financially, socially. But what they did was they made the best of their circumstances. What they
did, there were all average people that came here. But they weren't satisfied with being average.
		
00:42:47 --> 00:43:31
			They weren't satisfied with mediocrity, they wanted to do something more. And so whatever
opportunities they had, they kept on pushing forward pushing, pushing, pushing, until finally, they
all established the legacies that they did, because of their sacrifices. And here in Memphis, as
well, you've had a number of pioneers that have come before me before all of us, you have a number
of pioneers, some of them no longer with us. They did whatever they could, they laid the foundation.
And because of that foundation, whenever you move to Memphis, there was something for you must do
the salam or MRC if you were already here, or whichever community and now it's your opportunity. And
		
00:43:31 --> 00:44:12
			if every single generation that moves here, if every single batch that moves here understands you
have a role to play as well. And you can make your own legacies and what we are doing then in sha
Allah Who Tada we will be able to trampoline off of every single effort. Those that came in the 60s,
if they were to simply have a house that they convert to a masjid, that is a big deal. They did it
those that came in the 70s and 80s. They made a purpose built masjid, those that came in the 80s and
90s. They made it a bigger facility. Now here we have a mega complex, a family life center and
Shaolin the next stage after this is going to have a mini school, Mini University Mini, you know,
		
00:44:12 --> 00:44:57
			old people's home, whatever it might be a mini Ummah right here in Memphis, and we have the
potential and the land and the means and the resources to do that. So I make no apologies about
standing here 15 years in a row asking for your money, I make no apologies because collectively
together, look at what we have accomplished. Alhamdulillah look at what has happened of Oh, after
all of these years at hamdulillah and at Hamdulillah. The future is bright, the future is bright.
And we have in this generation, the opportunity to establish a legacy that is going to last not just
our lifetime, but many many lifetimes. Brothers and sisters. My time is limited and shallow. Be here
		
00:44:57 --> 00:45:00
			for the rest of the story. But I just want to leave you with one
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:45
			and simple points. One simple point. And I gave similar sentiments a number of years ago when I was
when I was out, you know, had to leave this beautiful community which is always going to be in my
hearts. But I said something then and I'll say it again right now. Never forget, our Institute's our
masajid never forget the religion of Islam is above any Institute. The goal is the religion. The
goal is of the deen the goal is the pleasure of Allah subhanho wa taala. So the religion is always
above any Masjid Foundation, any institutes. And if we have that in mind, then the petty issues that
happened, the frustrations that happened, the complaints that happened, you shall have the Eman to
		
00:45:45 --> 00:46:30
			swallow them and move on. We're not doing this for our egos. We're not doing this because somebody
says something that hurt my feelings. We're doing this to establish the religion of Allah in this
land. We're doing this to fortify the Eman of our children to protect our great grandchildren after
us. That's why we're doing it. So remember, the religion is above any Institute, any board, any
group of people, any community and remember the Institute and the masjid and the foundation is above
any one individual. No one individual is going to dictate the entire foundation or Institute people
shall come and go I had to leave this community some of our elders Allah azza wa jal chose them and
		
00:46:30 --> 00:47:11
			return them back to us. May Allah azza wa jal accept all of them for the good that they've done.
People are going to leave some of you are gonna have to leave this community. It doesn't matter, the
Institute, the Masjid this community is bigger than individuals. And the religion of Islam is bigger
than this community. If you keep that priority, if you keep that hierarchy in your minds, if you
always understand where do you fit in the grand scale of things, and you realize, if I do my bit, if
I do whatever little I can do, I can actually impact a change in the global scene and the state of
the OMA, I can actually do that even though I myself cannot coming together 700 800 people in this
		
00:47:11 --> 00:47:53
			audience, all of us together in this community, I can actually do something that will leave a
lifetime of a legacy that will allow me and my name in the eyes of Allah to remain long after I've
done I've gone that's the point brothers and sisters understand me and you individually are nothing
coming together. We have this blessitt community, and even the community will come and go bigger
than all of us is the religion of Islam. And every single one of us, we have an important role to
play you do you you rise to your role you do the max you can do and if you do so, you have
established your legacy on this earth Subhanallah brothers and sisters, fact of the matter is, most
		
00:47:53 --> 00:48:36
			of us our legacies are not going to be remembered by mankind. Most of us after a generation or two,
our names are going to be forgotten. That is the reality. But Alhamdulillah Allah subhanho wa Taala
does not forget, and that Hamdulillah, the Kitab that is with him, and all of the things that are
done in our lifetimes. Alhamdulillah Allah preserves, so if we create for ourselves a legacy in that
book, if we are able to construct a mini OMA for our children, and you know, this has been my plea
from the beginning, what we're doing here is not just fancy halls, what we're doing here is
fortifying emotions, what we're doing here protecting the fragile natures of our children, allowing
		
00:48:36 --> 00:49:14
			them the opportunity to see what it is to be a Muslim making them proud of their identity. That's
what we're doing. And we're going to do this at every level, educational, physical, psychological
sports, every level we're going to do that if every one of you understand you have a role to play.
And if every one of you lives up to that role, then in sha Allah Who to Allah your legacies will be
carved out and Allah azza wa jal will know your class and sincerity and Allah will know you did what
you could do for the sake of a greater good I might not know every one of your names people around
you might forget you and 20 3050 or 100 years, but Allah azza wa jal will know and the good that you
		
00:49:14 --> 00:49:55
			have done will literally be a sadhaka Giardia we used to say this 1015 years Bill sadaqa jariya Bill
sadaqa jariya people of Memphis MMIC you have built a sadhaka, giardia, Masha Allah, Masha, Allah,
you have built a southern Nigeria. But there's more to do. This is just the beginning. You have
already done phase one. And I'm telling you from now, I don't know what the board has in mind. But I
hope that whenever this phase finishes, they have another phase in mind. And when that phase
finishes, they have another phase in mind because that's how legacies are built. That's how the
standards are raised. We should never be satisfied with mediocrity. We should always strive to be
		
00:49:55 --> 00:49:59
			number one in every field that we do. So I encourage all of you to
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:38
			Raise up to your greatest potential to understand when you come together you can accomplish much
more than if you are all alone and Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah when all is said and done when all
the last 15 years are looked at who cares about the naysayers who cares about the West was out of
shape on where is all your frustration now it's all gone. So tonight as well get rid of the West
wasa get rid of the frustration. Get rid of all the naysayers and do your bit for the sake of Allah
subhana wa Tada May Allah azza wa jal continue to bless this community may Allah subhana wa Tada
protect all of you and all of us and our loved ones may Allah subhanho wa Taala allow MICU MICC to
		
00:50:38 --> 00:51:16
			be a shining beacon of Islam of Eman of Taqwa of the message of our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam for many, many, many generations to come. May Allah subhanaw taala accept our meager efforts
may Allah bless whatever little we do to make it something that is perpetual and permanent for many,
many generations to come. May Allah protect our children and their children after them. May Allah
allow the legacy of na Ilaha illa Allah to be passed down from my children and your children to
their children after them until the Day of Judgment. May Allah Allah was to live as righteous
Muslims to die as Mormons and to be resurrected with the prophets and the martyrs and the Sidious
		
00:51:16 --> 00:51:26
			the initial head and so on in what has sunnah will occur a fear call which is our Kamala, who later
on was set on why they come to Allah he will Barakatuh Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
		
00:51:29 --> 00:51:31
			Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
		
00:51:33 --> 00:51:44
			One of the hardest things after Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim, Al hamdu, Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa
Salatu was Salam ala Sayyidina Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi. Edge nine.
		
00:51:45 --> 00:52:29
			It is always hard to be on the stage two trying to entice the community to do something they all are
here already willing to do. But one it only makes it harder when you have to follow esteemed people
like the ones he saw on stage. Not on stage. Not to mention chef. Yes, sir. May Allah subhanaw taala
bless him and his family. We thank him for his visit. And we thank him for continuing to support
this project where we, and I'm talking about the collective week because how many hands were here
from day one, from that night in 2009, where this community pledged over $3 million
		
00:52:30 --> 00:52:40
			to put the foundation for this project. And this project now is the reality. This project now is
something that we can see and we can touch.
		
00:52:41 --> 00:53:25
			Please, if you can turn the lights on. I would love to see those faces in our community the faces of
Eman the faces that came here tonight, chosen by Allah subhanho wa Taala why are we here tonight
because Allah made it easy for us to be here. Allah invited us not just the board of M IC that
invited us but Allah subhanho wa Taala invited us to do good. And this good is to continue on this
journey. And to put the last phase of this current stage of MICC into reality. How many people here
would like to see more classrooms?
		
00:53:26 --> 00:54:19
			How many people here would like to see more places for the youth for the young people for our future
generation to be able to do the things for Seville Allah subhanho wa Taala how many people wants to
see the daycare center open? How many people here wants to have this entire facility, beating with
life beaming with life every day for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala the legacy is way beyond
where we are tonight is way beyond where we have arrived. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
said is a matter of no other man who will come in Salah. When the Son of Adam dies, there are only
three things that are left behind. Only three things that continue to benefit. The son of Adam or
		
00:54:19 --> 00:54:59
			the daughter of Adam, the children of Adam after they pass sadaqa jariya and you just heard check
yourself saying this is sadaqa jariya. This is the definition of the sadaqa jariya the perpetual
charity, every person that comes here and have Salah and mentioned Allah subhanho wa taala. The
reward comes back to those who helped put the foundation and the cornerstone and we are still in
that phase. We are still this is the night and maybe the last night that we continue to have that we
put the foundation for this building for this institution for this current
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:19
			phase and it's always the reward is always hard hire for those who come in the beginning. For those
like tonight, they are in the beginning of this of this project. Lester women come in and come in
Kabul in fact, a cartel like
		
00:55:21 --> 00:55:21
			Alladhina
		
00:55:24 --> 00:56:14
			Allahu Allah Krishna. Allah Subhana Allah to Allah said about those who spend their money before the
conquest of Makkah that they have more reward than those who did it. After the conquest. We have not
opened maquette, we are about to in sha Allah after tonight's fundraiser. So three things stay after
we pass sadaqa jariya anymore new and tougher obey knowledge that will benefit people and which
place you can think of that can have that spread knowledge more than this place right here.
Knowledge of Eman knowledge of Taqwa knowledge to you to the youth and knowledge coming to the
future generation and we ask Allah subhana wa Tada to put all of that in the scales of your Hasan
		
00:56:14 --> 00:56:15
			ads.
		
00:56:16 --> 00:56:38
			The other thing is while while Adan Saleh Anya dragula The third thing is a righteous child. While I
don't solve it, and this is the place this is the dream, this is the vision where we raise children
that are righteous and Solly Hain and they can continue the message of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
wasallam.
		
00:56:40 --> 00:57:40
			So Allah subhanho wa taala, entrusted us with money, entrusted us with wealth and he gave us
different scales and different levels. But we all see it and we call it our man our money, our
wealth, our property, and the Hadith and that's in Sahih Muslim in sand O'Malley Mellie my money my
wealth mine, this is mine, that's mine walay salah, hoomin Melly Illa Salah there are only three
things that define what you have in money, my Akella Fafner the things that we eat, we consume,
that's ours. Well May Allah be SIR for Ebla and what we were and we were it out, everything we were
eventually becomes old and we consume it. And then he said Salah Ali you were Salam wa mata sadaqa
		
00:57:40 --> 00:58:30
			for aapke what you give FISA Villa and in sha Allah what you give tonight, that is the part that
will stay that is the part that will stay in our account, not what we have in the bank tonight. It
is what we give FISA vilella And that's when then an example of that happen when Rasul allah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had a lamp and he started distributing the lamp and given it V sebelah.
And finally one piece of shoulder meat was left and Aisha came to him Pradhan, Allah, Allah and she
she said Dr. Rasool Allah, the habit is share with me up Carl KTF the entire lamb is gone. And it's
only that shoulder meat that is left. So Rasulullah sallallahu sallam said lie
		
00:58:31 --> 00:59:19
			back a year to share with the Hellcat if the shoulder that we're gonna eat is the one that's that's
not gonna count. The rest of it that we gave FISA vanilla is what will count. So I asked upon this
community, I asked about everyone tonight to do the thing that I always asked you to do for those
who want the blessing of Allah for those who appreciate the opportunity that Allah subhanho wa Taala
chose us for tonight. Raise your hand and pledge that you will not leave this hall tonight. Before
you give something fee Sabine Allah. Anyone here that will say $100,000 visa vie nila $100,000 To
finish this project, to have classrooms to spread the knowledge of Allah subhanho wa Taala and the
		
00:59:19 --> 00:59:35
			guidance of His Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, anyone for $100,000 Anyone that will
inshallah start it and get the reward of everything that comes behind it. Because men sunnah Sunita
and Hassan a fella who drew her bedroom and
		
00:59:38 --> 00:59:59
			those who start something and do the Sunnah. Al Hassan is a good way Allah subhanaw taala will give
them their full reward. And then Allah subhanaw taala will give them the reward of everyone that
follows who will be the leader tonight who will lead us for $100,000 I know that family is here in
sha Allah, and I know this person is
		
01:00:00 --> 01:00:49
			Here insha Allah who can do $100,000 V Sabine, Allah, Allahu Akbar, may Allah reward you may Allah
bless you may Allah bless your family, I have a son always in the forefront, and the last 15 years
Alhamdulillah and I say this always, why do you see a lot of times the same people come again and
again and again and hamdulillah they never say, Well, I've already done more than my share. I've
done more than than I should. Because you know why? Because Allah subhanaw taala replaces that
wealth, because when you give it Allah subhanaw taala put Baraka in your money in your family in
your health, and Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Man, Osama al Amin sadaqa. This is if
		
01:00:49 --> 01:01:12
			you believe in Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam you believe in this, that the sadaqa that you give,
whichever you give tonight, you will get the full reward and it will not decrease or diminish any
any of your wealth in sha Allah. May Allah bless you may Allah bless your family and optimum if you
can, California or Bill alanine, Paulo Amin
		
01:01:13 --> 01:02:09
			who can join our brother, Abu Hassan who can join him and match that $100,000 No, you can do that
and we will have $200,000 who can do that in sha Allah. I'm looking for someone that will do that
and said Here I am. I'm putting my hands and the hands of Assam and we are walking together and that
will raise 20% already for what we need to raise tonight. Who is that family in sha Allah and I know
that is here. We have one in sha Allah Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbar, we have 100 Another $100,000 Say
Allahu Akbar, tek Vu. Now we have 200 I ask Allah Subhana Allah to Allah to bless them, to give them
more and more in this life and in Accra, bless their families, and bless their their wealth and
		
01:02:09 --> 01:02:37
			maybe will win sha Allah will continue to come over and over again and continue to be blessed visa
vie Lila. So now we have $200,000 We need to get to the 300 and that will be 1/3 SubhanAllah. This
community these phases that are shining with a man that I'm looking at right now with noon, always
come forward and exceed and go beyond what Allah subhanho wa Taala is requesting from us tonight.
		
01:02:38 --> 01:03:33
			So can I have two for 50,000 and that will get us to the 300,000 that will get us right there to the

Memphis, we don't see what we have. We don't see what we have here tonight. And that is by the
		
01:03:33 --> 01:04:10
			blessing of Allah and the generosity of this community. So who can and I know many people here said
maybe I'll come and I'll do 25 But the shaitan is not gonna let you do that. And we ask Allah
Subhana Allah to give us the courage and the generosity to do more than what we came here to do. And
Sharla double it. Anyone for 50,000 Anyone here for 50,000 Anyone? Am I missing any hands any 50,000

they'll give you 700 times more than what you given them. What kind of investment in that
		
01:05:00 --> 01:05:33

01:06:26 --> 01:06:52
			Some of you will hold back that Allah says we're my year CalHFA in Namibia and Neff say those who
are holding back they're only holding back from their own selves because what we give is for
ourselves Allah does Allah need our money? Does Allah need our wealth who he gave it to us in the
first place? So if we hold back when we are called to spend in his sake, we are holding back against
our own selves.
