			sha Allah to Allah, I'll be short and sweet, because this is a day of celebration. This is a day of
Mubarak for us, and I want you to enjoy it. But I want you to remember something about this day
we're loving, this is a day. That is like no other days.
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			Because
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:52
			we are in the most blessed days, where Allah subhanho wa Taala extends his grace in his favor to his
creation.
		
00:00:54 --> 00:01:07
			What lahia grace in a favor that were we not to have it we would all be destroyed. Not a single one
of us would ever achieve salvation without the grace that Allah extends to his creation in these
days that we have just passed.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:11
			And it culminated with the great day
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15
			of Yama, Allah Allah for us yesterday young will hedge
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			on the day where Allah azza wa jal
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:26
			descends near his to his creation in a manner that benefits his majesty and glory,
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			according to the rules of the law.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:54
			And he looks upon the judge standing on the plane Avada and he questions the inhabitants of the
lowest heaven. And he asks, Who are these people that have come to this place in this map fashion,
naked, dirty, disheveled? They've been through so much hardship and turmoil just to get here? Why
have they come to this place? And the angels will respond?
		
00:01:56 --> 00:02:01
			Yeah, Allah they have come to this place to ask you, they have come to this place only to ask you.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:26
			And of course we can make anywhere the whole earth has been made a mustard for us, we can make door
anytime accepted the places that is prohibited in bathrooms and such you know that, but Allah, Allah
will ask the inhabitants that have been which he knows best. What are they asking? What would cause
them to go through all of this, to come to this place to ask me
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:44
			they will say your Allah, they are here to ask you for your forgiveness. They've come through all of
this, they've gone through all of this hardship, all of Hajj is leading to arafa everything you're
doing from the camera to the modality for everything is leading you data. For those of us who have
made Hajj
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:50
			and Allah will say to those angels bear witness on this day, I have forgiven everyone who is asking
of me,
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			I have forgiven them all.
		
00:02:54 --> 00:03:09
			And one Angel will step forward and say yeah, Allah, yes, but there is one amongst them. He is a
faucet. He's a rebellious disobedience sinner. He just happened to get to this place by chance.
Maybe he saw everyone going one direction he decided I'm going to go to
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:19
			a law will say, be a witness that I have forgiven him to. That's the greatness of that day, the
greatness of that place. The greatness of that dress rehearsal piano.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:36
			We have really and truly past the most beautiful of these were our last things, the greatest
favorite to us. But I'm going to tell you only one story today. And this will sum up everything.
This was some of this entire day. This was some of the reason that we're here today.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:42
			The reason Abraham Alayhi Salam was willing to follow the commands of Allah
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:46
			and sacrifice his own son, he was willing to do it.
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:51
			There's only one reason we do anything for the sake of Allah azza wa jal.
		
00:03:53 --> 00:04:20
			There was a conversation that took place long before any of us ever existed. A conversation that
took place before any thing known as an insane existed. There was a conversation that took place,
and a lot of records it for us and so to Bopara, at the very beginning, at the very beginning when
you get to verse 30. When you get to Ayah 30. Allah azza wa jal
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:35
			says something very beautiful. It says in Surah Baqarah verse 30, that Allah sent to the angels in
Ninja I don't fill out of the halifa there indeed I am going to place on earth afenifere
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:41
			Indeed, I am going to place on earth advice gerrant a representative
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:53
			a successive leadership on Earth, Khalifa allow us a very beautiful word when describing the first
of us in Nigeria I don't feel out of the halifa
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:55
			now the angels
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			already knew what this insanity would be about.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:16
			Allah already knew what this Khalifa was going to be all about. Because the angels asked the law,
our Lord, would you place one in it to cause mischief and ship bloods, while we celebrate your
praises day and night,
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:20
			now the angels newest and they knew us very well.
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:32
			They knew that that Khalifa that Allah was going to place on Earth, what came out of it would cause
mischief. And we have fulfilled that role. Increasingly, every single generation, we've gotten
worse.
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:42
			And they will shed blood will law here wasn't one generation had not passed to the very sons of that
shed bloods.
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:46
			So panela, they knew us, they knew as well.
		
00:05:47 --> 00:06:03
			So they asked a lot, a very rational question. If you want to be praised Allah, we praise you. If
you want to be glorified and magnified, we do that. And we never fail in it. And we never cease to
do it. And we do it the most perfect of anything Do you have created?
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:06
			A large response to them
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:22
			was not to give them reasoning, or to explain to them what he was creating a way he was creating it.
He just responded by saying, I know what you don't know. I know what you don't know.
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:32
			So he created that Salif, Adam alayhis salam. And he placed him in the garden with his wife Eve. And
he placed in that garden a tree.
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:44
			And he told them, eat from anything, have enjoyed this genda all of it is yours, except this tree.
Just don't touch it. This one tree, don't touch it.
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:59
			Now, we all know Allah already knew before even putting the tree in gender, they were gonna touch
it. He knew before placing them in January, they were gonna touch it. He knew before creating
anything, they were gonna touch it, he knew what was going to be the end result of this situation in
London.
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:16
			So what did they do? They disobeyed. And they did that which they were told not to do and a lot told
them you have to get down from here. You have to get down from here to get back to this place,
you're gonna have to work for it. Now you're gonna have to work. And then a law reminded them
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:34
			that they will come from me guidance after this point now, and whosoever follows that guidance will
be alright. And whosoever dissuades from that guidance, there will be losers. But the real beautiful
part of this story
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:42
			is the solution that Allah azza wa jal gave them to the problem that they faced of disobeying their
Lord.
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:50
			Allah says, we taught them some words, we taught them some words, to say to us,
		
00:07:51 --> 00:08:08
			our Lord, we have indeed wrong their own soul. If you do not forgive us, and have mercy on us,
indeed, we will be one of the losers. This is the lesson from the story but resistance. This is the
lesson from the story. Because you have to understand your
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:57
			life is not about whether you will make a mistake or not. The mistake is guaranteed. The mistake is
guaranteed from the very beginning. The moment you were born, you are guaranteed to make mistakes.
The sin is known. The Prophet alayhi salaatu wa sallam said, every son of Adam sins, every son of
Adam sins, all of you. And there's not a person in here blameless from sin, not a person. But you
know what's so beautiful, that if we had no sin, then days like this wouldn't be so beautiful. days
like yesterday wouldn't be so beautiful month like Ramadan wouldn't be so beautiful. Salah wouldn't
mean so much. I wouldn't be so gracious. The idea that we make wouldn't mean anything. If the sin
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:58
			wasn't there.
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:10
			It life is not about whether you will make the mistake or not. Life is about what you're going to do
with the mistake. Life is all about how you will deal with the mistakes that you are guaranteed to
make.
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:13
			Because it's guaranteed you're going to do it.
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:17
			You see, every religion in the world
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:20
			has tried.
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:37
			Ever since mankind started to deviate from the right path. religions have come about in an attempt
to solve this problem. Every religion has tried to solve this problem. Christianity has tried to
solve this problem. What do we do with the mistake?
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:56
			Well, it can't be forgiven outright. So somebody else has to take it. Hinduism has tried to fix this
mistake. Or if they've tried to clarify this vision. What do we do a mistake? Well, you just live
another life if you try to fix it in that life. Every religion has tried to solve this problem. We
will make mistakes. So what do we do?
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			Islam has the most simple and beautiful solution.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			The most simple and beautiful solution.
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:24
			Our Lord we have indeed wrong their own souls. If you don't forgive us and have mercy on us, indeed,
we will be one of the losers. Because I know I'm going to send a probably send before I got here and
I'll pipes in after I leave here today, I'm going to make a mistake, it's guaranteed. But what am I
going to do with the mistake? You think shavon did not know you're going to make a mistake.
Absolutely.
		
00:10:25 --> 00:11:06
			He doesn't beat you by getting you to make a mistake. Because that's guaranteed. He beats you by
keeping you from fixing the mistake, but alarm bell, he keeps you from fixing the mistakes that you
make. He keeps you from apologizing to the brother that you wronged or the sister that you're wrong.
He keeps you from repenting to your Lord whom you have sinned against. He keeps you from getting up
and fixing yourself and going on and being a better Muslim today than you were yesterday and trying
to be a better Muslim tomorrow than you were today. This is Satan's game with you, to keep you
wallowing in the sin to keep you focused on the mistake that if you make a mistake, I can't fix it.
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:28
			I've made two mistakes, five mistakes, 10 mistakes, I've made a million mistakes. I've been on the
wrong road for so long. Now. There's no way I can get back. See, that's the whole game the shaitaan
loves to play with you. because let me tell you something brothers and sisters, as long as you are
living and breathing, as long as you are living and breathing, there's a chance for you, there is a
chance for you.
		
00:11:30 --> 00:12:12
			The only time there is no chance for you is on three occasions. Number one you've committed outright
blatant open Sherk. And very few Muslims would do that. Without ignorance, knowingly, you know,
without a shadow of a doubt you're committing ship. Number two, your soul has reached your throat,
meaning that death is coming to you imminently. You are on the footstep of death after that is too
late. And number three, the major signs of the Day of Judgment such as the sun rising from the west,
the dub coming from the earth, all of these things that haven't happened yet. If these things
happen, then you tell but it's too late. But until that moment, today, you have a chance to fix the
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:38
			problem. Today, you have a chance to fix every single mistake you've ever made. Every single thing
you've ever done can go away today. Today, it can go away big, small, everything in between can be
solved with this one solution. My Lord, I have indeed wrong my own soul. If you don't forgive me,
and have mercy upon me, I will surely be one of the losers. So panela that's what this day is about.
		
00:12:40 --> 00:13:00
			That's what it's all about. That's the sacrifice that Abraham and Abraham was willing to make. He
was willing to do whatever Allah asked him to do, as long as the law was willing to forgive them.
Yeah, as long as you're willing to have mercy on me and my son, whatever you asked me to do, I'll do
it doesn't matter your minute sacrifice my own self, just tell me, I will do it.
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:49
			This is the attitude that a lot needs to fix what's in here, he needs that attitude that you willing
to do whatever it takes to fix my relationship with my room to fix my relationship with my brother,
or my sister, or my father or my mother or my brother or my children are my parents. If you willing
to do whatever it takes, then you will find a Rob who is enough for him. You will find a lord who is
loving and what he loves and he loves for you to come back to him. The Prophet alayhi salatu salam
said every son of Adam sins, but the best of those who sin are those who repent, every son of Adam
sins, but the best of those who sin of those who repent of who they are, that was actually welcome
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:49
			First of
		
00:13:51 --> 00:14:10
			all, hamdulillahi Rabbil alameen wa salatu salam, O Allah Rasool Allah, Allah Allah, he was a big
man in Medina Toby Sani Illa yummy Deen wash, la la la wahoo la sharika. Wash Mohammedan Abu rasuluh
Ramadan.
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:41
			So brothers and sisters, very simple. Today is your day to fix everything. Today is your day. Don't
wait till tomorrow. Don't wait till next week. Don't wait till next year. Fix it today. Fix it
today. Today is the chance that Allah has given you. You woke up this morning living and breathing
with Islam in your heart. Fix your relationship with a lot today. Don't wait. Do not wait. And let
me tell you this one last final thing.
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:57
			There was a reason why Allah told the angels. I know what you don't know. I know what you don't
know. Because yes, the angel said we can praise you day and night perfectly flawlessly, seamlessly
without mistake
		
00:14:58 --> 00:14:59
			and allows praises
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:01
			be sung for eternity by him.
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:18
			Allows Granger in power could be known by the heavens and earth and that which He has created. The
very dynamics of allows creation, prove everything about Allah as Magellan he can be glorified and
magnified through them. But you know what?
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:28
			They are some things about Allah that He wanted known. There are some attributes of Allah azza wa
jal that he wanted known.
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:31
			And there was only one way they could be known.
		
00:15:33 --> 00:16:04
			That was if Allah created a creation that had the choice to obey Him or disobey Him, and then they
would disobey Him, all of them, would disobey Him. But amongst those who disobeyed him would be some
who would return to Him and repent to him and asked him to forgive them, and he would forgive them,
then a lot could show that not only is he a wee, but he is elegant for, not only could he show that
his teeth, but he could show that he is he's, he's
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:08
			a rough man, he can show that he is.
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:59
			You see, these powerful attributes of Allah are shown through you. Brothers and sisters, Allah shows
how merciful he is by how he deals with you. Allah shows how powerful he is. And the fact that he is
so powerful that he can punish you for your sin, but he forgives you. This is the real power that we
show the world of our Lord, that yes, I commit mistakes. But I can fix them with my Lord, because
yes, he is swift and justice. He is for mighty, he is powerful, but he is forgiving. And he'd said
about himself. My anger, My Mercy, will always overcome my anger, my mercy will always overcome my
anger. And I give you two final small snippets to remind you of this. And then I'll give you a few
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:02
			announcements and we'll have a beautiful weekend in sha Allah to Allah.
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:17
			There are two narrations from the Prophet alayhi salatu salam, one of them is good and one of them
is more good. They're both about animal wave some of the information of the unseen that on the Day
of Judgment.
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:48
			On the day of judgment, there would be a person who is being dragged into *, he's being dragged
to *. The angels are carrying them away to throw him in the fire. And Hellfire itself will pull
back from that person. Hellfire itself will pull back from that person and alone will ask him what
is wrong with you? What is wrong with you that you pull back? And Hellfire will say My Lord, He is
seeking refuge with you from me.
		
00:17:50 --> 00:18:16
			He is seeking refuge in You from me. And Allah will say then release my slave, release my slave and
let him go free. And there'll be another person being dragged to * about to be thrown into the
fire. And this person will say to Allah, my Lord, I never expected this from you. My Lord, I never
expected this from you. When a bold statement, and Allah will ask my slave,
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:27
			what did you expect from me? You did all of this. You committed the sin. You had the choice, you
made the mistakes, what did you expect from me.
		
00:18:28 --> 00:19:06
			And that person will say I expected that your mercy could even reach someone like me. I expected
that your mercy could even reach someone like me. And Allah will say, let my slave go free. Let my
slave go free. You have to understand brothers and sisters a lot created you to live in gentlemen,
He created you to reside in paradise that what that is what you were created for, to praise him
endlessly and gentlemen, and to get the bounties that he created you to get. But that choice has not
been put in your hands. That choice has now been made to you. Jenna is not something that a lot
gives you. It doesn't give you it is a choice that you make. It is a choice that you make. If you go
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:41
			to *, you walk into * with your eyes wide open. And if you go to Jenna, it is because you have
met a lord who is forgiving, and you have sought that forgiveness. And you have done something in
this life to make that forgiveness worthy. So it's all in your hands. So figure out today what you
want to do in sha Allah to Allah with the rest of your life, because the rest of your life starts
right now. I don't care what you did yesterday, last week, last month last year. Today is the
beginning of the rest of your life. If you want to fix it now fix it today. In sha Allah Allah you
will find out who is forgiving, who is merciful, who is loving, who is forbearance, who is patient
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:47
			with you, and who will love to give you gentlemen if you only ask him for it. Now
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:59
			insha Allah Allah, it's my pleasure to be with here all weekend. And I have to say Dakota Hayden,
thank you for allowing me to come be in this beautiful community again for the third time as the
Prophet alayhi salaatu wa Salaam Salah yes
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:14
			Aloha mandla is Chronos that whoever does not think that people he doesn't think Allah, so I'm very
thankful even though my flight was canceled, I didn't think I was gonna make it but I drove 14 hours
last night I literally got here two hours ago to be here with you today because I do love this
community
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:53
			tomorrow in sha Allah to Allah and I will be doing the clipper for jumaane Sharma tomorrow at 3:45pm
there's a fit of that workshop. For those who want to I'm not going to make you a daddy in a couple
of hours, it just can't happen. But for those of you who want to get a taste of what that one may be
about, and so that maybe you can go on to further your studies and our and maybe I can come back and
further present these topics and present this course in a detailed manner. Then come tomorrow at 345
in theater number nine, and we will do a crash course and sick of the hour and sick of calling
people to alarm calling other people to this beautiful way of life called Islam telling those people
		
00:20:53 --> 00:21:29
			outside who have never been in this building what this religion is all about. So if that is
something that interests you, which it should interest you because it is a command from Allah. odo
lsvt revocable hikma then come to theater nine at 3:45pm tomorrow, and then among them Salah we will
be having a community dinner and barbecue celebrating this wonderful days of either in sha Allah so
come tomorrow for the workshop and then stay for the barbecue and the dinner in sha Allah. Remember,
the prophet alayhi salatu wa sallam said that the Muslims have a dying to AIDS, a dying, that's it
to ease it will fit through a lot Ha.
		
00:21:31 --> 00:22:10
			We are not allowed, as I said in the football, the worst of affairs of that what you put into this
religion and every one of them is a bit there. And every bit dies of a wallet and every dollar goes
into the fire every misguidance goes astray. So please, parents, protect your children from this
fitness facade is going on outside these other holidays, because I'm guaranteeing you have done the
research. I've been around born and raised right here. Actually about an hour from here if you want
to be specific. All of these holidays have nothing at their core, but even nothing at their core but
shaitaan and his attempt and his deceit at shirk. So please keep your children from these things,
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:47
			protect them from them. Let them know that we have something better as the Prophet alayhi salatu
salam when he came to Medina, they were celebrating some holidays that the Jews were celebrating the
Prophet alayhi salatu salam said Allah has replaced those days with better days. He's replaced those
days with better days and you only have two of them. inshallah, so please keep our children from
this fitness facade that's coming on, especially the one that's coming up in a few days in sha
Allah. Also, please make a donation and support this machine. This is a new Masjid is a new center,
that it is in its infancy still, please support your Islamic center with whatever you can, this is
		
00:22:47 --> 00:23:20
			your home. This is your responsibility. This master is not the responsibility of the Board of
Trustees. Let me tell you that right now. Because nobody owns a machine. A master is a walk for
Allah azza wa jal, it belongs to Allah. And it is only in the hands of those who will care take for
it according to the Quran and Sunnah of the Prophet alayhi salatu salam. So that's your
responsibility to care take for this beautiful center that you have and make a shining honor for
Islam here in Tennessee inshallah, to Allah. Also early voting and started so get out and exercise
your right to vote. One thing I will say, I don't get into the whole voting thing too much. But one
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:22
			thing George Washington said very clearly,
		
00:23:24 --> 00:24:02
			that freedom of speech is a is a right. It is an inalienable rights that are loved, that humanity
has here in this country. And he said, the moment you lose that freedom of speech, you will be led
like sheep to the slaughter. This is coming from the very first president of this of this country
that you are now residing in, that once you lose your freedom of speech, you will be led blind, like
sheep to the slaughter. So exercise the rights that you have been given under this constitution,
exercise them well, to speak up to say the truth to do the right thing, and to be active in your
community. Because if you're not active in your community, then you can't complain about what
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:07
			happens in it in sha Allah. And lastly, as everyone knows, when I come here,
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:43
			I always bring my DVDs for that hour. And I produce these DVDs over many, many years, many, many
years, I've been producing these DVDs. And these DVDs are for two reasons for you to learn how to
give that will properly. So you learn how to tell people about Islam because not everyone has the
best arguments. And this is something that I have chosen as a profession. I'm not good at it. But
maybe I can help you with something. And they are for you to give to people. Maybe some people say I
don't know how to open my mouth about Islam. Well, then you can get one of those DVDs and hand it to
your neighbor, your coworker or your friend and they can do their own research about Islam and
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:59
			whoever they're going to contact they're going to contact me because my name and numbers all over
those DVDs for some reason. I don't know how that happened, but I'm living with it now. Insha Allah
