AI: Summary ©

The speakers discuss the need for action and a backup of the mind to handle difficult situations, as Islam is often portrayed as deceptive and clear. They stress the importance of impressing others with one's actions and finding one's own way of life to achieve success. The speakers also emphasize the need to be prepared for events like the end of the world and future events, including the end of the world and the d union of Islam.

			Miss mill near
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			me
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:10
			and Alhamdulillah
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:21
			Alhamdulillah Hera belisle amin wa Salatu was Salam ala rasulillah. While he was happy as main woman
will illuma Dean
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:29
			shadow en la ilaha illallah wa hula Sherry Kala qua shadow anna Muhammadan, Abu rasuluh Emma bed,
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:52
			I have a very short amount of time because somebody else is supposed to lecture at seven and I don't
cut into anyone's time as I would not like them to cut into my time. So I'm going to be very short
which my intention was to be very short and sweet inshallah tada as a continuation of what I said
today, at Juma in sha Allah, I hope you got the message of what I was trying to get across about the
fact that we need to do some action
		
00:00:54 --> 00:01:21
			and inshallah to Allah, we will be finishing up with that tomorrow as well. But now I want to give
you a little bit of a backup of the mind frame that we need to have when we begin to do this action.
Because if you agree with me that we need to do something, which if you don't agree with me with
those ads, that sort of stuff, then I suggest in Sharla, you go back and read them over and over
again. Because it's overwhelmingly clear that a lot of find what the Allah is asking us to make
effort for him.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:56
			But in order to do that, we also have to have to understand we have to have the right thought
process when we're going forward to begin to work for a loss of Hanover with Ireland. And I also
want to answer the second half of the draw that I was speaking to you about because today I answered
a lahoma and soon, Islamorada muslimeen but I did not answer. Why is there? Oh Allah give dignity
and the human soul? Why is the Islamic Muslim dignity to Islam and the Muslims? So I'm going to
answer all of that inshallah to Allah in the next few moments.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:28
			And I begin by asking us, all of us, myself included, to ask ourselves a question, we need to ask
ourselves, who are we trying to please, with our life, the way you live right now the things that
you do, the habits that you have, the tendencies that you have, the way you think, the way you act,
the way you live your life? Who are you trying to please? in your life?
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:51
			Because easily we can say, I'm trying to please Allah. But I want us to really think about that. Who
are we trying to please in our life? Whose approval are we trying to get by the things that we do in
our life, who it is that we look up to who it is that we're trying to impress? A lot of these things
fit into the answer of how we get is that
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			and this is something I want to tell you very clearly.
		
00:02:59 --> 00:02:59
			That is
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:02
			for the Muslim,
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:06
			Allah subhanho wa Taala has already given it to you.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			He's already given it to you.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:19
			And only you and me, and us can decide to let it go away.
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:20
			That's it.
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			Because the is the,
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:26
			of the human being.
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:51
			In the definitely there is a Muslim, in the eyes of Allah subhanho wa Taala. Allah is Islam. This is
the dignity of the Muslim Islam. This is your dignity, and your only dignity before Allah subhanho
wa Taala. And if you're trying to gain dignity from anyone else,
		
00:03:52 --> 00:04:02
			this is the problem. And this is a majority of the problem of why we face the condition that Islam
and Muslims are in today. Because
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:08
			of whom it is we're trying to please home it is we're trying to impress.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:21
			And I'm going to tell you why. Because also some of them said it clearly that this is our problem.
1400 years ago, he told us that this was the problem that we are facing right now.
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			And 2010 throughout the world
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:31
			and we don't have as a right now, your rights because we have given it up.
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:57
			There is a Muslim is his Islam, like I told you, this is our dignity and Allah Subhana Allah gives
it to us and he's the only one who can give you is a you can get dignity from anywhere else. When we
try to get our dignity from any other source than Allah subhanho wa Taala either we go astray
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			because Allah Allah
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:14
			Virgil says in his Koran, that He gives dignity to whomever he wishes, and he gets humiliation, to
whomsoever He wishes. So dignity
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			and humiliation
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:22
			is in the hands of a loss of Hannah who went to Ireland. He says this in his book.
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:37
			But the criteria for that is your thought process, how you think, whom you're trying to impress who
it is that you're trying to look up to, and who it is you're trying to dignify in your actions.
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:56
			And let me tell you, this is our motto salsa that said them gave us the problem with the solution
back to back, and this is my problem, and your problem and all of our problem. And if we can fix
this one thing, we begin to make a major step in the direction of
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:11
			dopamine only been there he was older, he went to jail defensibility law he became widely common for
second we make a major step in this direction. Also sobre la jolla was settled a month ago, a lot of
Arabic for times sake. He said, What is two means in English,
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:15
			that whosoever seeks to be pleasing
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:25
			to people, while it is at the displeasure of Allah subhanho wa Taala Ireland, that Allah would be
displeased with them.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:58
			Again, let me repeat, Whosoever seeks to be pleasing to human beings at the displeasure of a law.
That means that he or she does things in their life, in order for people to like them. In order for
people to accept them. In order for people to respect them. They'll do things that they know a lot
does not like. And we're all guilty of this including me. We're guilty of playing the property in
front of the people.
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:06
			Or they won't do things that they know a loss of Hannah who wants to Allah has commanded them to do
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:11
			in front of the people, so that the people will like them.
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:49
			This is what we do. This is our one of our biggest gifts is that we do things in front of people so
that like us, we shave off pieces of our Deen. In order for people to accept this we don't want to
look too extreme. We don't want to look too backwards. We don't want to look too crazy. You don't
want to stick out. I don't want to stick out men is what you the what I've heard. I don't want to be
sticking out so that I can become a target and people can look at me and say I'm crazy. This is not
they'll say this is not the way to do our brother to look crazy you extreme men
		
00:07:50 --> 00:08:04
			run around with that big beard in the dress on all day long. And I see you praying all in the in the
airport and in the malls and doing all this crazy stuff. Man. This is extreme. This is an extreme
understanding. This is 2010 man that'll get you locked up
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:06
			in mind,
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:08
			but the point is,
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:10
			the point
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:19
			is Who am I trying to please? The people? What can the people give me? What can they give me?
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:22
			What can you do for me?
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:26
			nothing except maybe make me
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:31
			because what Allah Subhana Allah wants to happen to me is going to happen to me without you or with
you.
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:40
			On the day of judgment, I can't come running to you and be like, yeah, you remember when I did all
those things for you? Why don't you go tell a lot that I did them for you.
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:50
			That person is gonna be like me, you out of your mind even shape on on that day. Even as Satan on
that day when people will start blaming him
		
00:08:51 --> 00:09:01
			and saying shaytaan made me do it man. The devil made me do it. Shake I will say Oh, buddy. No, sir.
All I did was calling you all I did was
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:06
			in your ear. You did it on your own. Therefore today,
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:09
			I'm free of everything that you do.
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:27
			So, also, Sara Selim said that whomsoever seeks to be pleasing to men and mankind, at the
displeasure of Allah, not only will allow become displeased with you, He will make the people become
displeased with you.
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:59
			Allah will make sure that not only he's angry with you, with the people won't even like you. He
won't give you dignity and he will not allow the people to dignify you. Allah has made a promise
that he will not allow you to get dignity by seeking it from his creation, because he's the owner of
dignity. And if you don't seek it from him, you can't get it. This is why we are in this condition.
We began to get in this degradative
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:08
			State in our fall began when we started to become trying to be pleasing to people look at your
history.
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:21
			Look at our history. This is when it happened. When we lost sight of the real point of everything
that we do is for Allah alone. Regardless of what the people think.
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:36
			This is why we're in this situation, nobody will respect you like this. I don't care how much of
your dean you shave off, and sometimes literally shave off or take off. Or don't do, or do
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:50
			it decide to go to work, and just, I need this job and I don't want people to think I'm crazy, you
know, so I take off the hijab. It's not that serious. A lot knows when my heart I've even had some
sisters Tell me I'll wear my hijab and my heart's
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:53
			kind of luck.
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:56
			Why don't you see that on X ray?
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:21
			I had some brothers, you know, you know, I shaved my beard because you know, you don't want to be
running around with a beard these days. Man. You look crazy, man. Nobody's gonna hire you. When it
comes time for the Christmas party at work. Yeah, I'm gonna go I didn't drink you know, but I go I
want to. I want to see normal, it actually you fool yourself into thinking that you're going to help
them. You'll see that you know, Muslims are like everybody else.
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:35
			I don't want to be like them. Everybody else. Don't put me in that bucket say you're like everybody
else. Because no matter what you do, they never respect you. They'll still they may say that
person's okay. Still a Muslim?
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:46
			Still Muslim? still an atom still one of those crazy people? How do I know this? You say unusually
Are you being extreme in your ideologies, man. This is a promise of a law.
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:57
			A loss of I know what that is says in the Quran. That they will never be pleased with you. Until
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:00
			you become like them.
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:19
			They will never be pleased with you till you become one of them. Until you leave your deen
completely and become one of them. Or you shave off so much of your deen that Allah does not even
recognize you anymore as a Muslim. When they might like you. You can call yourself a Muslim all you
want.
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:22
			You can call yourself a Muslim all I want
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:28
			doesn't mean that you can be one a non Muslim get around, call himself a Muslim. They don't do the
actions of a Muslim.
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:31
			It's a whole different ball of wax.
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:35
			I could run around calling myself a
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:53
			chicken all day long. I don't care how much I believe it. I guarantee you I won't get none of you to
believe it. This is the game that we play with a law saying that we're Muslim. And we don't do the
actions of a Muslim Muslim. The word Muslim is a verb means to do Islam.
		
00:12:54 --> 00:13:04
			So you never get the dignity this way brothers and sisters and you will end up in this condition
that we're in now. No one respects Islam. No one respects Muslims.
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:08
			Because we can't even respect ourselves.
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:11
			We don't even respect ourselves.
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			the dignity of the Muslim is
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:39
			woman afternoon, call me mandai Lola y mila solly her work call in any minute muslimeen This is the
dignity of a Muslim that he has a call to Allah as he is commanded and he's adore have good actions.
And he says to the people plainly and clearly without a doubt Yes, I'm Muslim.
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:53
			All of us know that point when we've been asked Are you are you Muslim? Or what religion are you and
you feel that little tingling in your heart? You don't want to just go Yeah, Muslim. Oh, man.
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:57
			I get asked me to help men we will get along just fine.
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:09
			But Allah says if they ask you that what follows in any manner? muslimeen surely I'm a Muslim? How
about you? You're not a Muslim? Oh, man, I feel sorry for you.
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:13
			Muslims are the best people on the planet, you know.
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:27
			We could be we have the we have the potential to be if we gain our understanding back and we realize
who we are. That being a Muslim is your dignity. Being a Muslim makes you better than anything that
Allah created.
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:36
			It makes you better than anything that Allah subhanho wa Taala created, even the angels.
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:59
			When you don't live Islam, when you are not acting as a Muslim, when you are not a Muslim, you go
from being the best of the last creation very quickly. There is no sliding scale. You go from the
best of luck creation, to the worst of a loss creation even worse than cows then catalog loss is
even worse than that men
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:02
			mass will put you out to pasture somewhere.
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:15
			This is what I'm not just giving you some foolishness. I'm telling you what Allah and His Messenger
has said about this issue. And it's the reason why we're in the predicament that we're in now the
brothers and sisters
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:21
			but there is hope, plenty of hope.
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:37
			They say that when you lose hope you lose everything. When you give up hope you've lost everything.
So there's always hope when you have hope you have everything then when you have hope in Allah
subhanho wa Taala Allah
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:51
			you have everything then you have everything that you could ever possibly need. I don't care who
likes me, I don't care who respects me. If I have favorite with a loss upon Oh, what the * Oh
man, forget you.
		
00:15:52 --> 00:16:07
			Seriously, I don't need you to give me my dignity. Allah subhanho wa Taala has given it to me.
Because on the flip side of this are also some of our holiday was seldom said, But whosoever seeks
to be pleasing to Allah.
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:29
			Even if it's at the displeasure of the people, that means I do what a lot likes. I don't care who
likes it. I don't care if my boss doesn't like it. I don't care if my neighbors don't like it. I
don't care if my family doesn't like it. I don't care if my wife doesn't like it. I don't care if my
parents don't like it.
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:52
			I don't care who doesn't like it. I do what a lot likes, and nothing else. Also, Saba Selim said
about this person, that when they seek the pleasure of Allah, even if it's at the displeasure of
people, that not only would Allah become pleased with them, he would make the people pleased with
them.
		
00:16:54 --> 00:17:08
			He would make and force the people to be pleased with them. And this is the promise of our rossell
sobre la la he was sending them and we know also Sarah send them spoke nothing but the truth.
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:27
			So also sell or sell in the saying that if you seek to be pleasing to Allah, that means I don't care
who doesn't like the fact that it's time for me to make sell. I don't care what you got going on. I
don't care if it's time for whatever it is, else is going on. It's time for me to pray.
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:37
			I'm praying, dropping everything. And I'm making so long. I'm not waiting to the end of the day and
I go home and make more awesome organization.
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:38
			Jenna,
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:42
			I don't know where to book you read that.
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:45
			But this is a
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:49
			this is a fool's way of making Suleiman
		
00:17:51 --> 00:18:06
			Allah has said in the Quran that he is prescribes the live fixed times. Not with the exception
unless you're working unless you go into school. I didn't I don't know if that Tafseer or that
explanation is out there. But inshallah I don't know everything.
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:23
			I don't care what my boss thinks. I don't care. If I go to this job interview, wearing this hijab.
Yeah, maybe they don't hire me. But if they don't hire me, because I'm wearing a hijab, I don't need
that job anyway.
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:27
			That's the job I don't need anyway.
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:40
			Because if they don't want me to wear a hijab, they certainly not gonna let me pray. They certainly
not gonna let me go to Juma. They certainly not gonna let me do anything that resembles the action
of a Muslim.
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:54
			So why would I even waste my time? That to me would, I would wear it everywhere every job interview
I went just to see if there's a job I want to take or not. If you hire me with this, then maybe we
might be able to work with something.
		
00:18:56 --> 00:19:08
			Or you don't want to hire me? Because I have here or I'm telling you that on Fridays. I have to go
to Joomla that I oh wait a minute, Friday is Joomla Come on, man. This is middle of the day. You can
just leave work.
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:27
			Be like look you man, I will work. I'll work morning time. I work night time. I'll work overtime.
I'll work weekend time, our Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Year's hour any other time but Friday at
noon is a lost time. See you
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:30
			I'm out of here.
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:32
			No matter what you say.
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:43
			When we begin to think like this, Allah Subhana Allah will begin to change your life and he will
begin to change our condition.
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:48
			And I'm not telling you this just from reading in some books.
		
00:19:49 --> 00:20:00
			You'll telling you this because I have put it to the test over and over and over again. I wouldn't
be here right now doing what I'm doing.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:01
			If I didn't put it to the test,
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:14
			I've done it. And I've seen over and over again how I lost the final what the island never abandons
his slave when his slave turns to him. Never, ever. Without a doubt.
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:25
			There was one point just to give you a little personal experience, I don't like to put my personal
stories in, but just to let you know, it works, and I've tried it many times.
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:40
			I had a job. When I first moved to Florida, was a new Muslim, had left South Carolina and was trying
to gain knowledge of my Dean.
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:55
			And the only job I could take was a crazy construction job in Florida in the summertime 90 degrees
outside man 95 degrees with the humidity like 87% outside dying, man. I'm not I'm not made for this
type of stuff.
		
00:20:56 --> 00:21:03
			In on Friday, but I was doing it because this is the only job I can find. And I know that Allah
subhana wa, tada will take care of me.
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:28
			I went on Friday, and told my boss, look, I gotta go to Juma. I gotta go. I'm gonna take a long
lunch today, but I'll stay late. He was like, No, man, we there's no leaving. You don't leave this
worksite I'm like, Look, this is my religious obligation. I have to go to the gym on Friday. He was
like, Look, if you leave the job, then you're fired.
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:45
			I said, Well, I'll see you in two weeks to get my check. Because I'm out. And I left. I just left
and I said to myself hospital law when the molecule Allah sufficient for me, man, I don't need no,
not gonna violate my Deen because I think I need something from the dunya.
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:55
			So I left went to joma not knowing how I'm going to get another job. Not knowing how I'm going to
take care of myself. I went to Juma and I was leaving Japan.
		
00:21:57 --> 00:22:10
			And I made the dua during the the to the to join one of the ones that are associated cinemas is
never unheard from Allah subhana wa, I made one of those. So you're blowing my mind. My wealth is in
your hands. I walked outside of Japan.
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:19
			And there was a brother who had just come from Philistine, a chef from Philistine, one of the most
knowledgeable brothers I've ever met in my entire existence.
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:33
			And he came from Philistine and he had a he owned a pizza shop and now puts in Jerusalem. And he
came here to open up a pizza shop and established his family here because of all the fitna in
Jerusalem at the time.
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:47
			And he came up to me ask what he said, Brother Lucia, do you have a job right now? I said, Actually,
no, I just quit today. He said, Well, I need somebody to work for me. And he had me on the spot and
gave me double what I was making at the construction job.
		
00:22:49 --> 00:23:07
			And this is just one instance of about 1000 that I could give you of how when you put your trust in
Allah subhanho wa Taala he never, ever lets you down. Because if he let me down, I wouldn't be able
to do what I'm doing right now. I abandoned three to four martial arts schools, I had running full
time in Florida,
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:16
			doing well off and more of the duty that I knew what to do with and left it knowing that this is
what Allah subhana wa ala
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:30
			had for me to do this was for me to do. I knew this was my calling. I needed to tell these people
about Islam that I'm in this country that I'm from, and Allah subhana wa jal has never had me to
worry about anything. Ever. I 100 Allah, Allah, Allah mean,
		
00:23:31 --> 00:24:12
			when we begin to think like this, that we want to please Allah subhanho wa Taala more than anything
else, then Allah subhanho wa Taala will look at us and begin to love us again. He'll begin to love
us again. And when he begins to love us again, Otto Susana, Selim said that the Muslim does good
actions so much, until Allah loves him. And then when Allah loves him, he will tell the angels
nearest to him. I love so and so. So you love them. And those angels will communicate that down to
all of creation until the entire creation begins to love this person.
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:30
			This was what are Susana Selim had, this is what the Sahaba had. And this is why the whole world was
given to them. Because the creation loved them. Because even the non Muslims whose countries they
can't could love them so much.
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:48
			That when they decided to leave and try to hand the governorship back over to the people, that
people would beg them to stain and adopt the Dean of their conquerors in mass until the entire world
was willingly under La ilaha illAllah Muhammad Rasulullah
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:59
			because these Muslims put their priorities in place, a lot came first. Everything else came second.
My job
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:05
			came second, the dunya comes second, the family comes second, your children come second.
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:08
			Your wife, your husband comes second.
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:14
			And this is what I tell my family sometimes all the time.
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:22
			When you know we tell somebody Oh, I love you more than anyone else in the world, sometimes our
husband or wife, you know, we tell each other that Come on, don't play with me, man.
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:26
			You know, oh, yeah, honey, I love you more than anything in the world.
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:43
			Your wife should turn around and tell you, then you got a mistake. You have you have me mistaken.
You should love Allah and His Messenger, more than anything in this world, then your mother, then
your father, and then
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:56
			this is the way we have to put our priorities in check that we know what we're dealing with. Because
when we put our priorities in disarray, we have this condition that we look.
		
00:25:57 --> 00:26:05
			I'll tell you how we look as a woman from a hole. If you were to look up from above and see us all
at one time. How many of you've ever went and stuck a stick in an ant hill?
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:09
			How many Come on now? Playing on me? How many of you tortured hands?
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:22
			You go and you stick a little stick in a hand here? What happens? They all start scrambling, trying
to figure out what's going on. And they're all running in 30,000 different directions, trying to
figure out what's going on. in disarray, man,
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:35
			this is us. This is how we look, we look like somebody is taking this they're gonna stick in the
anthill. And we have no idea what's going on. We know that the problem, we know we're all trying to
fix in a different way, and we get nothing done.
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:57
			And I'll tell you why. Because although some of our honey was settled and said, Whosoever vision
where their focus their attention is on this dunya that means when they wake up in the morning, the
first thing they think about is what I got to do today in this venue, how am I to make some money?
How am I gonna do this? How am I gonna do that? is all they think about.
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:13
			Although some of them said that Allah will make that person's affairs in disorder, he will make your
affairs like this. And we all know those people. They seem like they have so much to do when they
get nothing done.
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:20
			And they look crazy doing it and run themselves crazy. I seen brothers like that, like,
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:30
			Where you going? Okay, I gotta go to this class, and I beat that class and I gotta go work, then I
got to go to another job. Here, slow down, man. You mix a lot yet salon. Awesome.
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:32
			I missed like three already.
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:40
			And this is their condition. And also by chasing this dunya.
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:50
			We don't know that we're losing it. Because although some of them said not only what is the phase be
in disarray. Allah will place poverty between his two eyes.
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:55
			Allah will place poverty between his two eyes.
		
00:27:57 --> 00:28:10
			And he will get nothing from this dunya except that which Allah has already ordained for him. What
was written for you before Allah even created you. That's all you'll get.
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:19
			If Allah means for you to get $200 a week, I don't care if you get a job that's giving you $1,000 a
weak
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:33
			at the end of the day, you're going to end up with $200. This is the cover of a law. If you think
I'm playing games tested, try it out, see look at people's lives. Look at how easily money comes and
goes.
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:56
			Just a clear example for you how Allah subhanho wa Taala deals equitably with his issue of what he's
already ordained. We have an economic crisis going on in this country. Right? They call it the Great
Recession. They spent they're spending months and hours in millions. They're spending millions of
dollars to figure out why they lost millions of dollars.
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:07
			And they still haven't come to the conclusion. They still don't know why they lost all their money,
man. When as soon as it happened, I already knew.
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:09
			You know what happened?
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:15
			Allah Subhana Allah Allah says in the Quran that he will destroy forever.
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:37
			He will destroy river usury, they will end not too long ago, about a month ago there was a economic
an economist on CNN that says what happened in this past two years is that we have lost almost all
of the capital interest that we have gained since the depression.
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:57
			Yes, you have because Allah subhanho wa Taala promised that he will destroy this usury, so you can
go ahead and build the system back the way you had it. And the same thing is gonna happen. This is
the cover of a loss of Hanover diet. I don't care how much wealth you think you have, if the law is
already written for it to be this much. That's going to be it.
		
00:29:59 --> 00:29:59
			But also
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:08
			Russell solo Selim said whoever's focus in their mind is on the app here on the hereafter.
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:11
			That means that the accurate is first.
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:15
			And the way you can look at this
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:27
			and I'm gonna explain in a minute, I'll tell you the way you can look at this. He says whoever looks
at the ask you the first, a loss of pitino who went to Allah will make his affairs in order. In
order
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:43
			that person no matter how much they have to do, they will be at peace in their life, and their
affairs will be an order. Have you ever wondered? Have you ever looked at a brother? And I'm gonna
give you a perfect example. Right here in Minnesota.
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:46
			Look at a brother like, like shake Hatton.
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:49
			How much does this brother do, man?
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:51
			How much does this brother do
		
00:30:53 --> 00:31:03
			it but every time I've met him, he's a calm at ease and peace. He never seems like he's in a rush.
Never seems like he's in a hurry. How many of you ever met him and seen him live where he'd be
frustrated and be like, man, I gotta go. Gotta go.
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:16
			He come see all the time helps. He's a medical doctor. He lives some kind of law. almost an hour and
a half away from me. I couldn't even go to his house for lunch. Because he lived so far away from
him. He had to come here to see me.
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:20
			I know another brother like this mm, Safi Khan.
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:46
			He was the Imam of a community. What I mean by the man was he was the man. He solved every single
problem that appeared in the community. He worked from father to late into the night. And he never
turned anyone down. And he had time for all of these things, to be the man to be the leader of the
school to deal with Muslims, all the different problems that were going on, to learn his studies to
go travel and speak here and do this and do that to start an Islamic school to start an Islamic
bank.
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:54
			We look at the scholars of our past, who were not only scholars of Deen, but scholars of dunya.
		
00:31:55 --> 00:32:19
			They accomplished so many things with so little information, they had so little access to
information how, because Allah subhanahu wa taala made their affairs in order, everything they did
was done with a loss of Hannah without his blessing, with a better of a law. And anything with a
loss. medica is better than everything without it.
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:32
			And also, he said that his affairs will be an order. And a law will cause the dunya to come after
him
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:35
			will cause the dunya to come to Him
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:48
			will cause the dunya to come to you. So when you're chasing the dunya Ali era de la Han, and I'll be
done in about 10 minutes. On the road, the long line said something.
		
00:32:49 --> 00:33:00
			He said that when you take one step towards the dunya towards this world, it takes two steps to get
away from you. And death takes two steps to catch up to you.
		
00:33:01 --> 00:33:34
			So do the math, which one is going to catch who first you take in one step don't you take into to
get away from you never catch it. And death is taken to behind you is going to catch you before you
even get close to the dunya. The dunya is getting farther, your death is getting closer. Also, some
of our holiday was Elon said he drew two lines in the sand one farther than the other. He said that,
that the farther line away from him where he said this is man's desire. This is his hopes and his
dreams and his wishes.
		
00:33:35 --> 00:34:00
			But the shorter line is his death. And He will surely run into that line before he ever run into the
other one. This is just the son of Allah subhanho wa Taala you want this dunya Do you want it? Yeah,
I want it we all want to not have to worry about things then run away from it. I know that sounds so
ludicrous. Run away from it and I don't mean
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:06
			I don't mean quit your job. And and and and and and
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:30
			don't work and make things that a law is going to support you while you go and do hotels every other
weekend in the doll in all this other stuff and think that Allah subhanho wa Taala just going to
just magically send the check in the mail doesn't work like that. We still have to work Allah has
commanded the man to work and be the caretaker of his home. Don't think I'm saying that but what I
mean by run away from it is don't care about it.
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:42
			Don't care about this dunya put it in the back burner. And what I mean by putting the back burner
and have the ACA is your focus. Allah subhana wa Allah says in the Quran welaka
		
00:34:44 --> 00:34:59
			look at kennela comfy Rasulullah he also told Hasina that indeed in the Messenger of Allah for you
have a beautiful example, Lehman Cana, your jeweler How will young will ask you to wear that gorilla
cathedra for whoever's mind whoever's vision their hope is in a law and the law
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:00
			Last day,
		
00:35:01 --> 00:35:44
			and they remember a lot much so Muslims should always their focus their vision, their hope, should
be on the Day of Judgment. And I'm going to talk about that tomorrow vision, how we need to have a
vision going forward in this movement of Islam, this new revitalization of Islamic thought in the
Muslims of America and the rest of the world. We'll talk about that tomorrow inshallah to Allah. But
what you need to be looking at when you wake up in the morning, is acida. Because when we think of
al Qaeda, most of the time if people tell you they have judgment, or Yama laughter, we think of
something long way off. Awesome panel. Ah, man, that's, they have just been man.
		
00:35:45 --> 00:35:52
			I'm not worried about that right now. Man, I got to be at work in like 45 minutes. tomada did,
gentlemen, I gotta catch the bus. I'll see
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:57
			who guaranteed you Your Day of Judgment doesn't start today.
		
00:35:58 --> 00:36:22
			Who guaranteed you that your day of judgment is not going to start tonight? What do I mean by that?
I mean that your death come to you. Who's promised you another second in this life? No one. And when
death comes to you, that's the beginning of your Acura. That is your last day. Because that's the
time when all your deeds
		
00:36:23 --> 00:36:55
			cease. Except for three, which we know. But that's it. There's no going back and like, Oh, hold on a
second. Give me 1010 minutes. Let me go pray real quick. When the Angel of Death comes? He doesn't
question anyone. Just takes the soul. So who's going to tell you when your day of judgment is not
going to start? So you should always keep that in mind? What am I doing for the day of judgment? How
many of you would raise your hand and say you're ready to go in front of a loss of Hana with either
right now? With what the DJ, have you ready to go in front of a low? That's it? I have enough?
		
00:36:58 --> 00:36:58
			And think so.
		
00:37:00 --> 00:37:07
			We can never have enough we should always be thinking, What am I taking you for a loan now because
autosource de la Selim said
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:14
			that everyone should take account of themselves before the account is taken for them.
		
00:37:16 --> 00:37:20
			They should take account of themselves before the account is taken for them.
		
00:37:22 --> 00:37:36
			You should always keep track of your own good deeds. We keep better track of our bank accounts than
we do our deeds will lie to them. We keep better track, you can tell me probably your last 10
transactions in your bank account and your balance.
		
00:37:37 --> 00:37:40
			I asked you what the last 10 good deeds you did.
		
00:37:41 --> 00:38:06
			Let me think, give me a second. You pull it on me now. We should constantly be thinking you're
putting your you're thinking more about the money that you put in a bank which I can't promise you
will be there tomorrow. There's no promise you put money in the bank is going to be there tomorrow,
when we don't think about the bank of the aqidah What am I putting there? Because you put money in
this bank. They could What if they came to me and said you know what,
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:22
			all the money is worth nothing anymore. When I take in this money, Morgan create a new money because
this money is worth nothing now. So we create new money, your money's worth nothing. There's no
guarantee that you're going to have at the bank down the street goes out of business, there's no
guarantee you're gonna get your money back.
		
00:38:24 --> 00:38:36
			But when you give it to Allah subhanho wa Taala your deeds, he becomes the guarantee or he becomes
the short term, he becomes the trustee over those leads, and you are guaranteed to get them back
with interests.
		
00:38:38 --> 00:38:45
			is the only ribault Allah Subhana Allah Allah multiplies the deeds with interest manifold that you
cannot even begin to understand.
		
00:38:46 --> 00:39:18
			So this is our mind frame and I'm finished. This is what we need to be thinking about. What are we
doing? Who are we trying to please? What am I doing in my daily life? Am I trying to be pleasing to
Allah? Or am I compromising my Deen in order to make people like me? Because let me guarantee you
they never liked you. Let me guarantee you they never liked you. But when you turn to Allah subhanho
wa Taala Allah, like autosol, soda, cinnamon and Sahaba did the world will come running to us. Allah
will give us the world because we are worthy of having it.
		
00:39:19 --> 00:39:32
			We ask now Oh, y'all not give us a world that he left? And I'm like, No, no, no, no, please don't do
that. Now. If allow us to give us the world right now. We would destroy it. And probably six months.
We have to move to Mars.
		
00:39:33 --> 00:39:59
			We can barely run on messages. We thought about giving us the world man. Now we're not ready. We're
not ready. We need to get ready. We need to prepare the way to be ready. We're asking for something
we're not ready for. We need to get ready for it in sha Allah. We need to ask about soprano with the
eyelid to make us ready for this task to be his he left on this earth. We need to ask him for this
sincerely and check our intentions and check our deeds and
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:39
			Check our actions and see where it is that we're going. And let me tell you all of this stuff for a
massing in this world, all of this stuff when they're trying to collect means nothing, then you want
to own something. My first shift told me this very early as a Muslim, you want to own something, you
may think you own something. Now, you may think you own your money. In all your money, you own some
paper, that the government says what is worth, you think you own your car, you don't own your car,
don't pay insurance on it, don't pay your taxes on it. You may think you own a house, surely don't
pay your property taxes on your house and see what happens. You own nothing. You own nothing in this
		
00:40:39 --> 00:41:20
			dunya you can't take anything of it with you. The only things that you own are the things that you
give for the sake of Allah subhana wa, Tada. That's it. That's the only thing you own. Because as
soon as you give something for Allah, Allah holds it, and gives it back to you. That includes
everything, not just money. That includes your time. Every second that you give to Allah belongs to
you, every second that you spend chasing this dunya you've lost it, you lost it. Every action that
you do sincerely for Allah belongs to you every action that you do for something else, you've lost
it, you wasted it. So let us not waste any more time do your brothers and sisters Time Time is
		
00:41:20 --> 00:41:48
			running out man. Time is running out. And if we don't decide whether we're going to be with it, or
against it, then I guarantee Allah is going to make the decision for us. there's coming a time where
Allah subhana wa that is going to make the decision for us. For who is against him, for who is with
him or who is against him. And we don't want to be on the outside when the gate is closed on that
day. charlotta Allah
		
00:41:49 --> 00:41:50
			Bismillah
		
00:41:57 --> 00:41:57
			Allahu
		
00:41:59 --> 00:42:02
			Allahu wa salam and let me
		
00:42:06 --> 00:42:08
