			fathers, honorable mothers,
honorable Brothers and Sisters in
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:44
			Islam as salaam alaikum wa
rahmatullahi wa
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:52
			barakatuh Alhamdulillah. First and
foremost, we thank Allah subhanahu
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:55
			wa for all the favors and the
bounties and the gifts that Allah
		
00:03:55 --> 00:04:01
			subhanahu wa continues to bestow
upon us, and we pray Salah adjeem
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:08
			upon the Muhammad Sallallahu. A
means of barakah. Firstly, I would
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:12
			like to take this opportunity to
show my Shukr and my gratitude for
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:16
			the honor of delivering the today.
I think the last time I was at
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:20
			this beautiful mercy, plus minded
probably five years ago. And
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:23
			Alhamdulillah, I see the beautiful
upgrades, looking beautiful Masha
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:36
			Allah, so Allah subhanahu wa dunya
and Allah SubhanaHu wa
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:44
			sta mean, when we think about this
dunya, we understand it to be a
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:50
			place that is not meaning for
peace. It is not a place that
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:54
			entirely is going to give you that
absolute happiness and that
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:59
			absolute tranquility and that
absolute harmony. There's a reason
		
00:04:59 --> 00:04:59
			as to why that.
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:06
			Is known as well as it is known as
the place of peace and
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:10
			tranquility. And this dunya as
Allah subhanahu wa described
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:18
			within the Quran Allah subhanahu
wa says Allah Kum ayukum that
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:24
			Allah subhanahu wa has created
this dunya and created death and
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:28
			life. For what reason? Yah, Rabi,
because it's important for us to
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:33
			also not necessarily question in a
manner that we deny, but inquire
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:37
			so that we can understand, so that
when we face difficulty upon the
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:42
			dunya, we can face it with iman.
But Iman is an understanding of
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:46
			absolute conviction, and it's not
blind imitation, and the biggest
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:50
			strength that a person can use and
face in this dunya is none other
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:55
			than the Iman and Allahu Subhana
wa taala. So Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:58
			tells us, informs us, why did I
create this dunya? Why did I
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:03
			create life and death? Liabum
ayukumar, yakumana so that Allah
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:08
			subhanahu wa test and see who are
those that are going to come with
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:13
			the most righteous, most best of
acts that you can do now sometimes
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:18
			mean we have a misconception when
it comes to the best. We think
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:22
			that the best means perfection.
Have we forgotten that all
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:27
			perfection alone belongs to Allah,
that Allah subhanahu wa and all
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:31
			that he describes himself is all
perfect in a way that Allah
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:36
			subhanahu wa is not contained by
anything. Allah subhanahu wa is
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:41
			not confined by anything. Allah
subhanahu wa is not encompassed by
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:45
			anything. Allahu Subhana wa Taala
is not dependent on anything, and
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:51
			Allah subhanaw wa Taala is not
limited by anything. As Allah
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:55
			subhana wa Taala is not in need of
anything for anything, yet
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:58
			everything is in need of Allah for
everything.
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:03
			This is our Imam, Jamaat al
muslimi. And once we Fathom we
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:07
			understand that all perfection
alone belongs to Allah, we will
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:10
			then understand that it is not
expected from us perfection,
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:14
			because Allah subhanaw taala says
in the Quran when speaking about
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:18
			the creation of the human being,
Allah subhanahu wa says, Wahoo
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:25
			insanu daifa, human being has been
created weak. We were created with
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:28
			our faults and our errors and our
limitations, and it is not
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:32
			expected for us to become
infallible. The only infallible
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:35
			beings that ever walked upon the
face of the earth, sinners and
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:38
			none other than the messengers and
the prophets of Allah.
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:42
			Other than that, you won't find
anybody that is infallible of
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:46
			humankind. And so when we look at
this ayah, we understand that
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:51
			Allah is informing us beforehand,
that I've created this dunya so
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:55
			that I might test and see who is
going to be the most sincere and
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:59
			genuine when it comes to Allah
subhanahu wa, the ayah comes to
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:07
			mind that we think of Elijah
Wallahi, beautiful,
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11
			and it
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:18
			is important for
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:20
			us
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:26
			to come contemplate Jamaat al
Muslim. This Quran is not meant to
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:30
			just merely translate. And please,
translation does not mean tafsir.
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:34
			Somebody that thinks they open an
English version translation of the
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:39
			Quran that is not tafsir. I heard
on the other night on one of the
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:43
			radio stations, somebody says, No,
I myself go to the Quran and I
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:47
			read. And the person asked him, do
you read Arabic? They said, No, we
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:50
			read it from the English.
Remember, you are then depending
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:54
			on the interpretation of that
translator. So that is not tafsir.
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:57
			In case people think I can become
a scholar just by merely
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:01
			translating the Quran, you can't.
There are many other sciences that
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:04
			are connected to the science of
understanding the Quran. But
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:08
			coming back, it is not only meant
to be translated jamaatul
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:11
			Muslimeen, but Allahu Subhana wa
Taala says,
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:17
			do they not ponder? Do they not
contemplate? Do they not question
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:21
			and try to understand? I know in
the past, especially myself. I was
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:25
			brought up old school, and our
traditional Mashhad in Egypt were
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:29
			also very old school. So whenever
a person of authority told us
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:35
			something as Samar, we obeyed. We
listen right. If my father told
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:38
			me, make me a cup of tea, if I had
to ask, why?
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:46
			We know that if we had to ask or
inquire about mashay, sometimes
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:49
			and some, mashayi looked at it
differently, but at times, if you
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:54
			ask the question in the past, it
might seem disrespectful. Why are
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:58
			you questioning the sheik? But are
we forgetting that the Sunnah of
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:59
			this deen is not blind imitation?
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:04
			Nation, it is based upon
conviction, because, literally,
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:09
			the linguistic meaning of iman is
absolute conviction. How does one
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:13
			reach to absolute conviction with
evidence? In Peru with knowledge?
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:17
			That's why Allah did not order us
to merely say, La, ILAHA,
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:22
			illAllah. But Allah told us in the
Quran, falam and Nahu, Allah,
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:30
			ILAHA, illallah, verily no
understand it. Research, seek that
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:33
			knowledge when it comes to Allah,
because we see that was also the
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:38
			Sunnah of the Malaika when Allah,
Subhanahu wa created Dabi Adam
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:43
			alaihi salam, what was the
question? Allah spoke to them and
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:48
			informed them that I've created
Nabi Adam. And they asked, may you
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:56
			see rufinus Ya Allah, you create
in a being that is going to cause
		
00:10:56 --> 00:11:01
			chaos, that is going to cause
havoc, corruption upon this. Dunya
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:03
			and Wallahi the Malays are not far
from the truth when we look at
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:07
			ourselves, when we look at
ourselves, Jamaat al Muslimeen,
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:11
			you know, in the difficult times
that we are facing, yes, there are
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:15
			so many enemies to Islam. So many
enemies, whether we're talking
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:19
			about the Zionist apartheid state
of Israel, whether we're talking
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:22
			about the West and everything in
its agenda, whether we look at
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:25
			France or all of these different
countries, these are definitely
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:28
			enemies of our deen. But have we
taken a moment to look within
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:32
			ourselves? Because your nafs is
your worst enemy they can ever
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:36
			face. Your nafs is your worst
enemy that you can ever face. We
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:39
			are expected to go when we say, I
have this youngster came to me the
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:43
			other day. Sheik, when is jihad
going to come? When are we going
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:47
			to fight in the path of Allah
subhanaw taala? And I asked him
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:50
			just a simple question. I asked
him, did he go to Majid this
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:51
			morning for Fajr?
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54
			Ah, no, Sheik, it was too cold
this morning.
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:59
			And we understand it's cold. I
mean, it is a jihad on its own,
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:05
			but why are we getting our
prioritization wrong here? If we
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:08
			want to take on the path of Sahaba
that fought in the path of Allah
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:12
			subhanahu wa, let's start of what
they start off. And what was that
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:16
			the building of the Imaan say the
Aisha Raja. Lana mentions it. This
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:21
			is mentioned in the book of Quran.
He says, It say the eyeshadow
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:25
			line. And she said that the NAB
Ali sum for the 12, first 12 to 13
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:31
			years, only focus on matters of
iman, only focus on matters of
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:35
			matters of faith and belief. Why?
Because that is what is going to
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:39
			motivate the believer. And this
she says, in actual fact, she
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:43
			says, so beautifully, she says.
And if the NABI had to start other
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:46
			way around, meaning, if we had to
start with the aka, the laws, the
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:50
			rules, the regulations, those type
of things, she says in her own
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:54
			words, she says. And you might
find some of us not here today, as
		
00:12:54 --> 00:13:01
			we are, which again emphasizes the
importance of ima, the importance
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:04
			of your faith, the importance of
your belief. Somebody comes in our
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:08
			community and says something
controversial, then we lose our
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:11
			iman. Why is it that we lose our
iman? Are we that easily
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:15
			intimidated? Are we that easily
doubtful when it comes to certain
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:19
			matters about either? Why is it
jamaatul muslimin, if we looking
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:22
			in our communities and we see how
many classes takes place. And this
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:27
			is not necessarily to give a
negative aspect to the teachers,
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:30
			but to again, prioritize what we
need to prioritize. We have fake
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:33
			classes, we have Hadith classes,
we have tafsir classes, we have
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:37
			Hajj classes, we have marriage
classes as though they don't even
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:38
			have a spouse yet.
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:42
			These are the people that are
attending these classes. But let
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:44
			me ask, Where's the aqidah class?
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:49
			Where's the classes that is there
to consolidate your iman that is
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:52
			first and foremost for other
times, because Allah instructs us.
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:56
			Know why Allah is alone, verily
worthy of in worship. Don't just
		
00:13:56 --> 00:14:00
			say it. Allah says, Don't just say
it, because when it comes to
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:06
			trials and tribulations, your
biggest defense is your ima,
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:15
			and that's why the law says,
meaning how amazing and
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:21
			astonishing is the state of what A
believer and don't think that a
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:25
			believer and a Muslim is
necessarily the same. Jamaatul,
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:30
			Muslim. Allah corrected the Arabs,
those who entered right in the
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:36
			beginning. Allah informs us,
wakala till arabu, Manu kulam tuk,
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:44
			minu walakin, kunu Aslam, Imam
Allah. Subhana, Iman. Allah tells
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:47
			us that the Arabs of Bedouin tribe
came to the NABI and they said, Ya
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:53
			Rasulullah, we have Iman. And so
Allah corrected them, and Allah
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:59
			subhanahu wa says, don't say that
you have Iman yet, but say that
		
00:14:59 --> 00:14:59
			you have is.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:03
			Serve, and eventually Imam will
enter into your heart.
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:09
			So this is the stage, and what is
reminding us,
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:15
			meaning, ladies and Muslim, how
amazing does the state of a
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:20
			believer when something good comes
his way, Hamid, Allah, He thanks
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:25
			and he praises Allah. When other
than good comes his way, he still
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:29
			seeks istifa, but he thinks and he
praises Allahu Subhana. Why?
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:33
			Because he's ima, say, God in the
way that he perceives things.
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:36
			Because some of us might look at
things like a * that is half
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:41
			empty, and some of us might see it
as half full. Somebody might see
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:45
			something in a good way based upon
the way the positive mindset that
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:49
			they have and the strength they
have in the Ivan and others will
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:50
			might see it as
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:58
			Jamaat al Muslim Allah informed us
He will test us. I mean, fear
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:03
			there are going to be times we are
terrified to our balloon,
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:07
			and if we have not experienced it
yet, prepare for it.
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:14
			It's coming. Allah has warned us
that Allah subhanahu wa test us
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:19
			with fear, and we will be so
scared and so terrified. Why?
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:22
			Because we are going to try and
Imam shahrawi actually explains
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:26
			beautifully this. It gives a nice
of this particular ISS, why is it
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:29
			that you're going to be terrified?
Why is Allah testing you with
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:34
			fear? Because in that moment, he
says, we are going to try to do
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:38
			everything we can to avoid that
fear. We are going to prepare
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:41
			ourselves in a way that we're
going to make sure that everything
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:44
			is in place, that whether it be
fear that somebody is going to
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:48
			break in tonight, somebody is
going to steal our things in
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:51
			tonight. So we're going to put the
alarm on, we're going to get the
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:54
			dogs ready, we're going to get the
security company ready, all of
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:57
			these different things. And what
can occur, even though we have
		
00:16:57 --> 00:17:01
			placed all of these things in
place, Allah will show us. Show us
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:05
			you might plan, but Allah is the
best of planners. You might put
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:08
			the things there, but Allah is the
one that is in control of
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:11
			everything, and even though all of
those things are placed there,
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:14
			what happens? Creation
disappoints.
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:19
			Creation disappoints. No matter
what you do. Never expect
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:21
			perfection from creation.
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:25
			It has its faults. So what is
Allah trying to teach us in that
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:30
			moment of being terrified and
fearful, my slave, you are turning
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:32
			to the wrong one.
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:38
			You are turning to the one that is
limited. Why haven't you turned to
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:39
			the one that is limitless?
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:44
			Why haven't you turned to the one
that is all powerful? Why haven't
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:47
			you turned to the one that said in
Hadith, Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:51
			says that Allah subhanahu wa says
in a hadith, would see that there
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:56
			are two DUA and one of that that
is never rejected by Allah. And
		
00:17:56 --> 00:18:00
			that is dawah ul maglum, the DUA
by person that has been
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:05
			transgressed against, that has
been oppressed. Allah responds to
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:08
			that person, and they make dua
that I will see to your victory.
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:14
			Even it be in a moment. Even it be
in a moment. Why is it that we are
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:18
			making that our last thing that we
do, instead of starting off by
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:23
			firstly asking Allah for us by
turning to Allah subhanahu wa, and
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:27
			this becomes the lesson of fear.
Still don't want to learn the
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:31
			lesson Allah subhanahu wa says
wala nablu and Nakum Shayna hope
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:33
			he will draw hunger.
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:37
			We going to face a Jambi. It will
come.
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:42
			And this is the beauty of our
deen, all of these tests is to
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:48
			show us at the end of the day this
dunya does not last long, that
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:52
			everything upon this dunya is
subject to change.
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:59
			Allahu Subha reminds us also in
Suratul, in shiraq, for in Yusra,
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:06
			in namaha, the word difficulty is
is it doesn't come after. The word
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:09
			that is used is not after. Many of
us find ourselves translating
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:13
			after difficulty comes ease. No
Allah saying, within that
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:17
			difficulty, you will find the
ease. How do I find it
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:18
			perspective?
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:22
			It is that perspective of a
mukmin, that when he sees the
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:23
			situation,
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:33
			he knows then nothing can occur,
nothing can happen except by the
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:37
			will of Allah SubhanAllah. There's
a Hadith also that comes to mind
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:39
			that an
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:46
			imam abuham mentions in his book,
and yes, there's a Krishna on its
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:50
			authentication, but it's something
to think about. He says the
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:54
			Hadith, and Muhammad Sallallahu
Sallam says that Allah subhanahu
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:59
			wa says, Abdi, my slave. And to
read what.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:07
			And read you want and I want. For
in a Qatar read, if you obey me
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:11
			what I want, Allah speaking to
each and every one of us. And
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:16
			Allah is saying, If you obey me in
what I want to read, I will give
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:22
			you what you want. It's not
difficult upon Allah to give each
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:26
			and every creation is Haqq and
mojamaat al Muslimeen. So Allah
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:30
			says, I will give you what you
want if you obey me. But then
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:36
			Allah, Subhanahu wa Taala says, WA
Ilam to our clinic. But if you
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:42
			don't obey me, what I want to
read. I will make it difficult for
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:48
			what you want, and at the end of
the day, it will only be for what
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:49
			I want.
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:55
			It will only be for what Allah
subhanahu wa has written out for
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:59
			us, Jamaat al Muslim. And that's
why Allah reminds us that that
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:01
			test of hunger is coming our way,
and
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:06
			then Allah, subhana wa Taala
reminds us what comes after that
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:10
			we're not seminal amwali Well, and
you're going to face loss of
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:11
			people and wealth,
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:17
			people that are loved ones, that
are around us, whether it be our
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:23
			Parents, whether it be our
siblings or even more sad, that
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:25
			they are own children.
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:30
			How we would love to have them
with us, even it'd be a moment.
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:36
			But Jamaat al mustamin, death is
not a lesson for the ones who have
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:39
			passed on. Death is a lesson for
those who live on
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:46
			because Allah is reminding us, my
slave, have you forgotten
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:51
			that each and every one of you
have a beginning and that will
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:57
			ultimately also lead to your end?
There is only one that is eternal
		
00:21:57 --> 00:22:02
			with no beginning, in everlasting
with no inning. There is only one
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:07
			that nothing can cause anything
for him. But he is the ultimate
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:11
			cause for everything, and there is
none other than Allah subhanahu
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:15
			wa. So my slave know as your
beautiful loved one, passed away,
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:17
			you are also going to return to
me.
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:20
			Have you prepared for that return?
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:24
			Have you made sure that you have
put all the business plans for
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:27
			your earth or investment for your
earth? Have we only done that for
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:32
			the dunya? Have we only made sure
that our children are secured when
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:38
			it comes to the dunya, or have we
secured them for the because they
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:41
			mean whether we are big
businessmen, whether we are
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:46
			doctors, whether we are engineers,
at the end of the day, we all know
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:48
			kunafin.
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:56
			Every soul shall taste it. There's
no doubt about it we don't have if
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:58
			we die, we have when we die,
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:04
			it's certain there's no escaping
in it, in actual fact. And Imam Al
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:08
			qurtubi, he mentions, and this is
really dealing with your iman. He
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:12
			mentions that when the Iowa
review, Allah subhanahu wa says
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:17
			that every soul shall taste death,
he says that if the Abbas radima
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:22
			Anu mentions that the Malaika
said, Alhamdulillah, Rabi, we are
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:26
			not human beings. They have
enough. We don't have enoughs. We
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:30
			were created out of no so this
ayah is not applicable for us. We
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:33
			are going to live on and we're
going to worship Allah. And then
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:37
			the next ayah was revealed, the
abbess is, he says, then the ayah
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:43
			where Allah says, kuluman, alayha
fan, everything upon it will
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:47
			perish. So what did the Malaika
say? They said, ya rab Al
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:51
			Hamdulillah, we are not the people
of the earth, but we are the
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:56
			people of the heavens. So this
ayah is not applicable to us. We
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:58
			will live on and we will worship
Allah.
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:01
			And then the final ayah was
revealed.
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:08
			And that ayah, Allahu, subhana wa
taala, says, Kullu Shaykh, inhale,
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:09
			watch
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:15
			every single thing will perish and
come to an end, except ALLAH
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:16
			SubhanA wa taala.
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:20
			So the Malaika fell down into
sujood, and they said,
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:27
			subhanAllah, all glory and all
perfection belongs to the one that
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:29
			is alive and will never die.
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:35
			The lesson is for us. It is to
inform us, my slave, you are
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:38
			dependent on me. When are you
going to realize that,
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:43
			my slave, you need to trust me.
When are you going to realize that
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:48
			you know when we think? And maybe
some of us have experienced this,
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:55
			our tawakul upon creation is so
blind Wallahi that sometimes we
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:59
			forget that the creation we trust
our parents and our loved ones so.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:03
			Much that we have no doubt in our
hearts that they will always see
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:06
			to the best that we need to have.
Maybe we've experienced when we
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:11
			were younger. I know I have when
there's long road trips with the
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:15
			family and then many of those
shame the poor driver does not get
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:19
			sleep, but the passengers all
mashallah, they take that napkin,
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:22
			that long drive, uh, especially
when you were in traffic. Also,
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:23
			yeah, yeah. Allah,
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:26
			have you forgotten that the driver
is human?
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:31
			Have you forgotten that the driver
can cause an accident? Have you
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:34
			forgotten that you can just make a
small error, and it can be the end
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:38
			of your life, but you will fall
asleep with an absolute peaceful
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:41
			heart, as if there is nothing
wrong in the world.
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:46
			Why? Because you have experienced
that contentment and that peace,
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:49
			and you trust that individual so
much, whether they are parents,
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:53
			you trust them so much that you
know they will never put you in
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:57
			harm's way. Now, if that is the
manner that we trust creation,
		
00:25:57 --> 00:26:01
			Jamaat al muslimin, if that is the
manner that we trust our parents.
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:04
			What about the creator of our
parents?
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:09
			What about the creator of
creation? It's as if you know that
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:11
			moment when you are trying to
convince somebody that you are
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:14
			truly wanting to do good for them,
and you are begging them, you are
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:20
			freeing them. Trust me. Why not
trust me? I will not fail you.
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:21
			Trust me.
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:23
			What about
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:28
			Allah? Allah does not even need
our trust. But yet, out of his
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:33
			rahma, he tells us, why are you
not making tawakul upon me?
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:38
			That anybody that makes tawakul
upon Allah, subhana wa taala, for
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:43
			who hasbu sufficient for him,
enough for him, because nothing
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:45
			can overpower and overwhelm Allah,
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:52
			and that is why jalatan Muslim, it
is important for us to start
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:57
			seeking and knowing whether we are
merely just informed about Allah,
		
00:26:57 --> 00:27:01
			or whether we know Allah. My time
is up, but I want to end them with
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:05
			one example. And we can all do
this test with ourselves. I
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:08
			generally get invited to many of
these schools, high schools. So I
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:12
			do this experiment with the
youngsters. So I ask them, look
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:15
			here, does anybody have best
friends? You know besties?
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:19
			Okay, who's your bestie? This
person here. How long do you know
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:21
			them? 345, years.
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:26
			So you say, you know the person
inside out? Yes. I say,
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:30
			You know what makes him happy?
Yes, Sheik, you know what makes
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:35
			him sad? Yes, what makes him
angry, everything. Yes, this one
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:39
			youngster actually came to me and
said, Sheik, I know him so well
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:41
			that we don't even need words to
communicate with each other.
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:46
			We just look at each other that
facial expression. We just look at
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:50
			one another and we get the whole
talk. In actual fact, I saw this
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:53
			in a it seemed, for me, like I
hold you. Mahutba was taking place
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:54
			just with the eyeshadow.
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:59
			Alright, I hold you. Mahutba said,
masha Allah, so you guys know each
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:01
			other so well that you don't even
need words to speak.
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:08
			I said, Okay, now I want you to
take that relationship and how
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:13
			well you know that best feeling.
Now, compare that to how well you
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:14
			know Allah.
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:17
			Who do you know?
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:21
			And sadly, many times we are
taught
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:26
			that we know creation better than
created,
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:32
			and Jamaat al must mean to turn
that tight is not impossible. Just
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:37
			as much effort and time you have
spent in the company of that best
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:37
			friend,
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:43
			you can do that with Allah and
more, and that becomes your key
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:48
			towards not merely just being
informed about Allah, but actually
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:49
			knowing Allah.
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:57
			So we ask Allah to grant us that
opportunity to renew our faith and
		
00:28:57 --> 00:29:02
			our covenant that we don't merely
just imitate when it comes to our
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:09
			faith, but we have absolute
conviction. Muhammad wala Ali, he
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:12
			was Abu Asmaa alhamdulillahi,
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:28
			as salaamu, alaykum,
warahmatullahi
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:32
			wa barakatuhu
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:40
			for his inspiring words, we may do
all that Allah, that those words
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:43
			resonate with us Inshallah, and
then each and every one of us
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:47
			benefit from this very emotive,
very inspiring talk inshallah.
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:54
			It's very heartwarming for us to
see that Sheik Zayed Qatar is
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:58
			carrying on the magnificent legacy
of his dad, Sheik Riyad Qatar
		
00:29:58 --> 00:29:59
			Mashallah.
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:03
			And his dad back to us
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:07
			inshallah for more lectures.
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:10
			There's been some requests for
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:18
			shifa, for certain brothers, the
one being brother dal Parker,
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:22
			there's also brother Javid Dalvi
will be undergoing an operation on
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:28
			Monday, and also dua for brother
Ismail astika, who is the brother
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:36
			of Doctor ashtika, who is one of
the trustees. And then also on
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:41
			some good news, Alhamdulillah, our
trustee, our beloved nuribai, Nur
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:45
			Muhammad haqqi is making a
recovery, Alhamdulillah, and there
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:49
			is an empty spot there. Inshallah,
we make to others that soon we'll
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:52
			be seeing him again.
Alhamdulillah, we make he's turned
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:55
			the corner, and he's looking much
better than he did a few weeks
		
00:30:55 --> 00:31:01
			ago. So we make dua. Inshallah,
everybody's to us. Alhamdulillah
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:07
			and then also we just ask all
those who are suffering and all
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:10
			those who are ill that Allah
grants them ease and removes all
		
00:31:10 --> 00:31:14
			discomfort. Inshallah. Then, on a
final note,
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:21
			we are imploring the community to
please join us for a stand, a
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:26
			stand for Palestine. We've seen
the numbers dwindle over the past
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:30
			couple of weeks. We are, at times
down to five, at times down to
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:37
			seven on the corner of a club.
It's not a good showing. I know
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:41
			one becomes desensitized over time
and,
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:46
			and, but there is a healing that
takes place when we do engage in
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:50
			these protests, at least we get an
opportunity to show and voice out
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:56
			our descent against what's going
on and things aren't going it's
		
00:31:56 --> 00:32:01
			escalating, and it's escalating at
the phenomenal pace with the
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:06
			assassination of Hamas leader
Ismail hamia Last week, Wednesday,
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:10
			and now we see that the Zionists
are engaging in a proxy war in the
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:16
			UK. How far removed this UK from
but now they've managed to, with
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:21
			the dissemination of false
information, create hatred against
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:26
			the Muslims, so let us not wait
until the fight is on our
		
00:32:26 --> 00:32:31
			doorsteps. You know, it's it's
very easy for us to just put this
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:35
			at the back of our minds and carry
on, but last night, as a free
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:39
			curse to this demonstration, we
had some feedback from the
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:44
			foundation, and it brought tears
to all our eyes, whether it is the
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:49
			IDF setting a dog on an autistic
boy or the man in which a father
		
00:32:49 --> 00:32:52
			cries out for his children amongst
the rubble, calling out each
		
00:32:52 --> 00:32:56
			child's name, we were all weeping
at the masjid, and that
		
00:32:57 --> 00:33:01
			reinstalled the vigor, The the
feeling that we had back in
		
00:33:01 --> 00:33:06
			October, back earlier this year,
when we stood in our droves along
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:10
			the road, even if you give us 30
minutes of your time, 20 minutes
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:14
			of your time, Inshallah, we will
be held accountable, Allah. Allah,
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:18
			will ask us, what did you do that
Friday, that was a public holiday
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:23
			and you had 20 minutes to spare?
Can you spare 20 minutes, even if
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:28
			you don't have a placard or poster
young and old, it will be a form
		
00:33:28 --> 00:33:32
			of showing that we are able to
protest peacefully, and it will be
		
00:33:32 --> 00:33:37
			a very good way for us to start
even the healing within ourselves
		
00:33:37 --> 00:33:41
			as we witness the atrocities. So I
implore you to please join us
		
00:33:41 --> 00:33:45
			immediately after Juma Salah at
The corner of
