00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			Killed 99 people. He went to who was
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			was someone who was known to be an
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			abid, a worshiper. And he asked, can Allah
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			forgive me? And the man said, No. Allah
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			can't forgive you. So since he said, Well,
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11
			if Allah can't forgive me, I'll kill you
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:14
			too. So he killed that man, right? Then
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			he eventually his
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19
			fitra pushed him towards, I wanna know, can
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			Allah really forgive me? So he said, Where
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			is the most learned amongst you? Who is
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			the alum from amongst you? So he went
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			to him, and he said, I've killed 100
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			people including a worship of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:32
			ta'ala. Can Allah forgive me? He said, who
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			told you Allah cannot forgive you? Allah
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			forgive all sins, but you need to leave
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			this place. Right? You need to go somewhere
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			else. You need to leave and go to
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			a town. There are some people over here
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			who will help you be a better person.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			So he left, and he was on his
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47
			way there. And what happened to him?
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			What happened to him? He died on the
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			way. And when he died on the way,
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:54
			the angels of mercy and wrath
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			both came and started arguing about who should
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			take him. I want you to see what
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is willing to do
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:04
			for this man who killed 100 people. So
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			they started arguing, who should take him? The
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:07
			angel of wrath said, I should take him
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08
			because he didn't make it where he was
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			going.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			The angel of mercy said, No, no, no.
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			He was on his way. So they debated.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			Then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said, Okay. This
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			is what you do. You measure the distance
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:20
			between where he's coming from and where he's
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			going, and whichever place you find him closer
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			to. If you find him closer to the
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			place where he was coming from, the angel
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27
			of wrath will take him and I will
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			punish him. If you find him closer to
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:30
			the place where he was going to repent,
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			then the angel of mercy will take him.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			Which place was he actually closer to physically
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			at that moment?
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			He was closer to the place where he
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			had come from, so the Angel of Raf
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:43
			should have taken him. But then Allah
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			ordered the earth,
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			ordered the earth between those two places to
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			shrink. This is for a man who killed
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:50
			100 people.
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			Allah is now ordering the earth to shrink
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			its circumference
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			between those two places so that he was
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			found to be measured closer to the place
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			to where he was going,
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:03
			and he was received with Allah's mercy. Now
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04
			could not have Allah just have made the
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			man die closer?
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:07
			Could he could he have just made it
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			easy and made the man die closer? Yes.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			He could have. But the whole point was
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			so that this type of story would reach
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			you and me. So that we could understand
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			how merciful Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20
			truly is for those who seek it. As
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23
			Allah said before creating anything, he made an
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:25
			oath with himself that my mercy will always
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:28
			overcome my anger. So brothers and sisters,
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			know that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, the prophet
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:33
			sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, said that Allah is
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			more merciful than a mother is to her
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			child. Once the companions were sitting around a
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			fire, and there was a child who was
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			playing around it, and every time it would
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:43
			crackle and sparkle and the fire would shoot
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:44
			up, the mother would reach out and grab
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:45
			her child and pull it back and the
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			prophet
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			started crying. And the companion said, yeah, what
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:50
			makes you cry, You Rasulullah?
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			He said, look how much this mother loves
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			her child. Know that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			loves every single soul that he created
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			more than this mother loves her own child,
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:03
			yet they are so persistent about jumping into
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:06
			the fire. So no, brothers and sisters, Allah
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:07
			is
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10
			He is the most compassionate. He is the
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:10
			most merciful.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			The only thing that is required from us
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			is to make the intention. It does not
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			matter if you get to where you were
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			trying to go. The results of our efforts
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21
			are not in our hands. The result of
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			your effort, whether you wanna start a business
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			or you wanna get a degree, no matter
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			what it is you want to do with
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:28
			your life, the results of that are in
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			the hands of Allah The
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:33
			effort lies with us. So our job is
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:34
			to make effort towards Allah
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			Make effort towards him. Seek his forgiveness. Seek
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			his bounty. And he will take care of
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:40
			the results and the rest of it
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:43
			So it is about what you intended to
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			do, not what you do in your life.
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			So if you intend to do right, you
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			intend to make a change, you intend to
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:50
			be right with Allah, you intend to make
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52
			better with your life, then then Allah
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			will not only facilitate that, but he will
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			reward you even if you die on that
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			path as if you reached
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			the destination.
