00:04:11 --> 00:04:14

But the experience was very strange to me.

00:04:14 --> 00:04:16

I mean, I I thought that it was

00:04:16 --> 00:04:17

possibly a little bit more.

00:04:19 --> 00:04:20

That's very,

00:04:20 --> 00:04:21

very,

00:04:22 --> 00:04:23

odd opinion.

00:04:23 --> 00:04:24

It's not what we're used to.

00:05:16 --> 00:05:18

No house that has wings in it

00:05:18 --> 00:05:20

is void of a grave.

00:07:56 --> 00:07:58

With base and.

00:07:59 --> 00:08:00

Is like

00:08:01 --> 00:08:02

like jungles.

00:08:04 --> 00:08:04

Right? It's

00:08:05 --> 00:08:06

like a it's like a it's like a

00:08:08 --> 00:08:10

it's like a thing of wheat that's made

00:08:10 --> 00:08:10

of whisky.

00:08:11 --> 00:08:12

Rasool was also celebrated

00:08:13 --> 00:08:14

his Waleemann

00:08:15 --> 00:08:16

to Sofia

00:08:18 --> 00:08:19

with dates

00:08:21 --> 00:08:23

and something like generals.

00:08:25 --> 00:08:27

That's the closest thing that I can that

00:08:27 --> 00:08:29

I can get to to our understanding of

00:08:29 --> 00:08:30

what's the image is.

00:08:31 --> 00:08:34

Imagine that it's it's white human. It's a

00:08:34 --> 00:08:35

lot of other stories.

00:09:17 --> 00:09:19

6 months before I'm gonna get married.

00:09:23 --> 00:09:25

And then I thought I'd invite all my

00:09:25 --> 00:09:26

family because the venue is too small.

00:11:56 --> 00:11:59

And, it's something to get sometimes when a

00:11:59 --> 00:12:00

Mohammed is amazing to me,

00:12:01 --> 00:12:02

sometimes you have it pretty handy.

00:12:03 --> 00:12:05

And then you stand so much like and

00:12:05 --> 00:12:08

the next day the flavors all soaked through

00:12:08 --> 00:12:09

nicely.

00:12:11 --> 00:12:11

And the next day, the the flavors all

00:12:11 --> 00:12:12

soaked through nicely, and it tastes even bigger

00:12:12 --> 00:12:13

than the day before. So now next time

00:12:13 --> 00:12:15

we're gonna have our leftover food,

00:12:16 --> 00:12:17

we must remember Rasoolullah

00:12:20 --> 00:12:21

and the

00:13:19 --> 00:13:21

than that part that that we are eating

00:13:21 --> 00:13:23

from. When I happened in a Baraka, then

00:13:23 --> 00:13:23

fairly

00:13:24 --> 00:13:26

and that very same point, I didn't see

00:13:26 --> 00:13:28

speaking about the very same

00:13:28 --> 00:13:30

dish that was served, I didn't see a

00:13:30 --> 00:13:32

food that had less Baraka in it

00:18:16 --> 00:18:18

So we should start with thinking the name

00:18:18 --> 00:18:19

of Allah

00:18:19 --> 00:18:21

but not just taking the name of Allah

00:18:22 --> 00:18:24

at times because it becomes something ritual and

00:18:24 --> 00:18:26

you don't think about what you're saying.

00:18:27 --> 00:18:29

We should say the name of Allah

00:18:29 --> 00:18:30

recognizing

00:18:31 --> 00:18:32

upon the onset of our that

00:18:33 --> 00:18:36

this action that I'm doing is mundane as

00:18:36 --> 00:18:37

it may seem.

00:18:38 --> 00:18:40

I am doing this action for the sake

00:18:40 --> 00:18:40

of Allah

00:18:42 --> 00:18:44

I'm doing this action to please Allah

00:18:45 --> 00:18:47

Then your eating becomes an.

00:18:48 --> 00:18:49

And, you know,

00:18:50 --> 00:18:51

the beauty of it is that you would

00:18:51 --> 00:18:53

never have known to do this and not

00:18:53 --> 00:18:56

be for the teachers of Rasool. Yes, sir.

00:19:11 --> 00:19:14

Mundane acts of this Duniya, acts of the

00:19:14 --> 00:19:14

islands.

00:19:16 --> 00:19:17

A way to build the agenda.

00:19:19 --> 00:19:20

When I start eating, I take the name

00:19:20 --> 00:19:21

of.

00:19:22 --> 00:19:22

I say,

00:19:24 --> 00:19:26

I'm eating right now to please.

00:19:43 --> 00:19:45

I should be eating things that that although

00:19:46 --> 00:19:48

is peacefully eating, I don't eat haram.

00:19:51 --> 00:19:53

You can take the medicine further.

00:19:54 --> 00:19:55

But that's why this video I need for

00:19:55 --> 00:19:56

myself to see.

00:20:13 --> 00:20:14

But

00:20:15 --> 00:20:17

but I see the energy that you must

00:20:17 --> 00:20:18

come to terms with.

00:20:20 --> 00:20:22

And we must we must make a start.

00:20:22 --> 00:20:24

We must start something. We must decide, you

00:20:24 --> 00:20:25

know what? I'm going to change something.

00:20:27 --> 00:20:28

I'm going to get the easy plan.

00:20:29 --> 00:20:30

I'm gonna eat.

00:20:31 --> 00:20:32

Instead of drinking cooling,

00:20:34 --> 00:20:36

I'm gonna drink ginger nani

00:20:37 --> 00:20:38

or yummy sotoba.

00:20:39 --> 00:20:40

I'm

00:21:26 --> 00:21:27

Whether I might not be

00:21:28 --> 00:21:30

standing and performing salah,

00:21:30 --> 00:21:33

whether it be fasting another day, like

00:21:34 --> 00:21:35

the Sahaba meal

00:21:35 --> 00:21:38

gives a state to, wouldn't it be that

00:21:38 --> 00:21:40

I need to go out and earn my

00:21:40 --> 00:21:42

my my living wage

00:21:42 --> 00:21:44

so that I can feed my family? All

00:21:44 --> 00:21:46

of those are foods that I value, we

00:21:46 --> 00:21:47

can die for the sake of Allah's power.

00:21:47 --> 00:21:48

And

00:21:48 --> 00:21:50

all of it's, you know, it's

00:22:06 --> 00:22:08

Every little thing go to the toilet,

00:22:11 --> 00:22:12

meeting our friend.

00:22:13 --> 00:22:15

Whatever it may be, Rasulullah

00:22:15 --> 00:22:18

came, and he taught us a different dimension

00:22:19 --> 00:22:20

to that action.

00:22:22 --> 00:22:24

And that's something that we can't love Rasool

00:22:25 --> 00:22:27

while it's not poison. I don't know. Did

00:22:27 --> 00:22:28

there something wrong with us?

00:22:29 --> 00:22:30

The Rasool want to identify us.

00:22:31 --> 00:22:33

We would have been lost. We would have

00:22:33 --> 00:22:34

been like

00:22:59 --> 00:23:02

And even at the same time, what's also

00:23:02 --> 00:23:04

such a off eating? And he recognizes

00:23:04 --> 00:23:06

the fact that what he has eaten coming

00:23:06 --> 00:23:06

came from.

00:23:07 --> 00:23:07

Allah

00:23:08 --> 00:23:09

I might have a nice meal, even what

00:23:09 --> 00:23:13

he tables his that he was really nice.

00:25:45 --> 00:25:45

Yeah?

00:25:49 --> 00:25:52

And it's been manic, the Allah we

00:25:52 --> 00:25:53

like.

00:25:53 --> 00:25:55

And a little bottle,

00:25:57 --> 00:25:59

which you will apply

00:25:59 --> 00:26:01

feed from perfume from

00:26:07 --> 00:26:08

have to stop,

00:26:08 --> 00:26:09

not to stop

00:26:09 --> 00:26:10

this. And,

00:26:11 --> 00:26:13

applying the interview to yourself is a beautiful

00:26:13 --> 00:26:15

thing. Sometimes you don't get afraid of yourself.

00:26:16 --> 00:26:18

But as a charity, other people can smell.

00:26:19 --> 00:26:21

And people like to smell nice smells.

00:26:23 --> 00:26:25

They they get benefit in it. They get,

00:26:26 --> 00:26:27

joy in in in in

00:26:33 --> 00:26:35

So, you know, when applying that to ourselves,

00:26:36 --> 00:26:38

we should have these intentions. I'm doing it

00:26:38 --> 00:26:39

because it's a sunnah for ourselves.

00:26:40 --> 00:26:42

I'm doing it because it's a it's a

00:26:42 --> 00:26:42

charity.

00:28:15 --> 00:28:17

When I came to what he said, he

00:28:17 --> 00:28:19

will speak, he can have him. He will

00:28:19 --> 00:28:21

speak with speech. It was clear.

00:28:25 --> 00:28:26

Clear

00:28:26 --> 00:28:27

and simple.

00:28:28 --> 00:28:29

Word for word.

00:28:43 --> 00:28:45

The preservation of our being hinged on the

00:28:45 --> 00:28:47

fact that these say the Rasool

00:28:48 --> 00:28:48

Allah

00:29:01 --> 00:29:02

And the way Rasulullah

00:29:03 --> 00:29:04

spoke easily,

00:29:05 --> 00:29:07

but it also teaches us a good way

00:29:07 --> 00:29:08

of speaking.

00:29:09 --> 00:29:09

Rasulullah

00:29:10 --> 00:29:10

spoke

00:29:11 --> 00:29:13

with clear speech,

00:29:13 --> 00:29:15

word for word, easy to understand,

00:29:15 --> 00:29:17

those that were a hundred could memorize what

00:29:17 --> 00:29:19

he said. So long

00:29:21 --> 00:29:23

winded speech onwards.

00:29:25 --> 00:29:27

Speech was be short into the hood.

00:29:27 --> 00:29:27

He

00:29:30 --> 00:29:30

was

00:29:37 --> 00:29:39

his speech was short but noted with me.

00:29:45 --> 00:29:46

Items.

00:29:47 --> 00:29:49

He he would say his little things at

00:29:49 --> 00:29:51

hand, very short words,

00:31:56 --> 00:31:58

I didn't see anyone that smiled more than

00:31:58 --> 00:31:59

Rasoolullah

00:32:02 --> 00:32:04

And isn't that true? That speaks a lot

00:32:04 --> 00:32:05

of the image of Rasoolullah,

00:32:06 --> 00:32:08

of the the internal qualities of Rasoolullah. He

00:32:08 --> 00:32:10

was a person who exuded positivity.

00:32:36 --> 00:32:37

Great responsibility

00:32:37 --> 00:32:40

than Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi wa Salam. Rasulullah Sallallahu

00:32:40 --> 00:32:42

Alaihi wa Salam, and to convey a pristine

00:32:42 --> 00:32:43

message from Allah

00:32:44 --> 00:32:47

that wasn't specific to one people for to

00:32:47 --> 00:32:50

one period of time. It was from his

00:32:50 --> 00:32:50

lifetime,

00:32:51 --> 00:32:54

till the end of times, and you were

00:32:54 --> 00:32:55

very specific to

00:32:56 --> 00:32:59

him. There was no one that had a

00:32:59 --> 00:32:59

great responsibility

00:33:00 --> 00:33:00

that

00:34:41 --> 00:34:43

that in deep bias, it becomes karma. It's

00:34:43 --> 00:34:46

just like you're, like, angry all the time,

00:34:46 --> 00:34:49

something like that. Just look down. It's maybe

00:34:49 --> 00:34:51

I should look down a lot more time

00:34:51 --> 00:34:53

differently. I should have had that.

00:34:53 --> 00:34:53

But

00:35:35 --> 00:35:37

that we can even debate in our lives

00:35:37 --> 00:35:39

as a means of doubt,

00:35:40 --> 00:35:42

is that we're being people that smile.

00:35:43 --> 00:35:45

People will ask you one day, why do

00:35:45 --> 00:35:46

you smile so much?

00:35:47 --> 00:35:49

Why do you smile so much?

00:35:51 --> 00:35:52

Why do you smell so much? You know,

00:35:52 --> 00:35:53

there's so much problems in the world. Everything

00:35:53 --> 00:35:54

is going wrong.

00:35:55 --> 00:35:57

There's so much suffering. There's so much poverty.

00:35:57 --> 00:35:59

You, yourself, have so much problems.

00:35:59 --> 00:36:01

Your car breaks down every single day.

00:36:02 --> 00:36:04

You're under the job. Why do you smell

00:36:04 --> 00:36:05

so much? You're crazy.

00:36:22 --> 00:36:24

Because this world is deprived of positivity.

00:36:25 --> 00:36:26

This world is like positively

00:36:27 --> 00:36:28

sucked out of of this world of every

00:36:28 --> 00:36:30

food. There's so much happening. There's so much

00:36:30 --> 00:36:31

worship.

00:36:32 --> 00:36:34

But despite all of that, Rasool

00:36:35 --> 00:36:36

teaches us
