Another very important point the hatred that we have in our
hearts. For one another, the jealousy,
the Envy, it's a waste of our time life comes once.
We don't have room to hate each other.
Some people don't talk to their brothers and cousins and uncles
for years on end. They cannot solve a problem.
Sometimes we need to say, I'm sorry, even though, you know,
you're not wrong and we are doing things that are
unnecessary. We have a lot of stress tension
in the mind. So, remove those things that are
unnecessary, we give the Sample of the pot.
Each one of us. We have a capacity like a huge
pot and in our lives. There are things that are
equivalent to send things equivalent to Stones, things are
equivalent to rocks. The most important things, the
Rocks, the big ones. If you put the rocks in first,
you will be able to get the stones into the spaces of those
that the rocks have created when they're in and then you can put
the sand and it will all fit in because you prioritized.
But start with this and then what happens, you've got no
place, no place. When you put the stones in the
rocks, are all out. The most important things are
out. And this is why a lot of people
who complain about lack of concentration.
In Salah, I tell them you Have unnecessary things in your
brain. Take them out.
Can I tell you what's one of them biggest?
And this I'm being open. We speaking to young people and
this is a message to carry elsewhere.
I'd like to hope we're not guilty of what I'm about to say
because it's a big one, but we had to carry it to others.
One of the biggest reasons why people do not even want to reach
allies pornography. Now Allah, protect us.
Our Offspring, our colleagues, our children people don't
realize it has such a big impact, such a huge impact on
the mind on the emotions. On the spirituality, on
everything. We do on our thinking, on the
way. We look at the opposite sex,
everything changes and it changes quite badly.
And the worst thing is, we stand in front of Allah subhanahu
wa'ta'ala and you've lost concentration.
Then we say shake Give me a dollar.
I need to concentrate my brother.
My sister a single do our without doing something.
About it will not solve your problem.
And this is why I don't wait to turn to Allah, you know, if we
wait to turn to Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala, if we wait to turn to
Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala, we may never ever get that
opportunity. So one thing we should never
wait for us to turn to Allah when we do not have proper
objectives and goals in life. We waste a lot of time.
We don't know what exactly We want we don't know where exactly
we want to reach and we don't work towards it.
Some people know, I'd like to do this.
I'd like to do that and they don't work towards it.
If you don't work towards it, you wasting time.
You're wasting all your time because before, you know, it,
you would have time would be finished and you would not have
achieved what you wanted. So it's important for us to have
proper objectives and secondly, a point I touched on your
company. Your companions.
They are also a big obstacle. If you mix with like-minded
people who have similar goals and objectives.
You will get there with greater. He's also being involved in
that. Which is glamorous, that which
shines that which Glitters and chasing it.
We heard about the Dunya, those who chase the Dunya, let me
inform you. It has no end you him.
And we like fools, keep running behind, you know, I pictured it.
Once, in my mind. I've seen that load of rats
running behind a cheese. A piece of cheese, and as they
got the cheese, there was one smelling stronger in front.
So they threw this one. And they carried on and they
threw the other one, but eat from this.
He's and be full, at least. I hope you understand what I'm
saying. You've got your cheese, the
first cheese, you've got and what happens.
It goes to Motor Vehicles. It goes to cell phones.
And after that, it goes to your spouse.
Why? You've got a wife.
She's 1990 model. I need now.
I need a better a later model. Why you developed your habit of
wanting? The latest?
So when you see your wife, she no longer appeals to you.
When you see your husband, he no longer appeals.
Why just like your phone? It no longer appears.
I seen a Dude, down the road with a better jeans halfway down
his. But Ma sha, Allah, may Allah,
protect us, who you are, and your role that you are meant to
play. Your objective is made by other
people. Your friends, your peers and the
media in particular every time there is a, you know, a movie
they come up with a new type of dress code and a new hairstyle
and then you have all these hedgehogs in the classroom.
Another very, very important Point.
Some people have a habit of starting Thing before they
finished it. They start something else and
starting a third thing before they finish the second, when you
do something, do it properly, complete it and then go for
something else. This means when you do
something, do a thorough job. Some people and I do know they
start a course. Two years down the line.
No, I don't want to do this course, go to another one.
They do another course in two years down the line.
I don't want to do well, look, if it happened to you once,
probably, maybe it was the wrong field.
Maybe you've now chosen the right one, but finish something,
finish it and your best bet is to choose properly from the
beginning, wizard, but that's what it's all about time is
never enough that use it in chili in the right direction.
Let us make sure that Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala meaning, let
us make sure that we call out to Allah.
I don't know what to Allah to grant us goodness.
Once we have used our time properly and we learn to be
systematic in our life. We will feel so good.
We will be able to achieve our goals and we will be able to
achieve something in life. Be happy.
We will be able to make sure that every moment we have, had
has been used in the right direction.
And this is why I don't wait to turn to Allah, you know, if we
wait to turn to Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala, if we wait to turn to
Allah subhanahu. Nahal and tala, we may never
ever get that opportunity. So one thing we should never
wait for it to turn to Allah, you know, the sisters, Subhan
Allah, even the brothers. Sometimes there's a religious
decision. We need to make make it now.
Don't say okay. I'm not, you know, holy enough.
I don't, I still want to enjoy my life.
I still want to, you know, I cannot go for Hajj now.
I still need to do this. No, it must happen now and 0w if
it doesn't come, now it may never come.
So many examples of it. So if you want to get to a
higher spiritual level, let it happen now.
So one might ask, what are the benefits of Toba.
Do you know that the benefits of Toba?
One of them is that you will be granted sustenance.
The wealth that we want so much if we engage in history of our
and we turn to Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala, he will give it to us
or he will give us Baraka in the wealth.
Listen to what Mahalo his salatu wassalam told his people in
another place in the Quran. Faculty/staff you rock back on.
This is in Surat new in who cannot refer your sillies.
He will send the rain as a result of your repentance.
So when we won rain, we need to ask Allah's, forgiveness, then
the rain will come and over and above that.
He will grant you, lots of wealth and he will grant you
Offspring. Who will be the coolness of your
eyes. May Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala
grant that to us. And then he says, on top of
that, he will grant us Jannah in the Acura.
May Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala grant that don't relate this
good news to your brother's because they might plan and plot
against you. They might become jealous of
you, but do we learn from this? Those who are the children of a
nappy? And something good.
He told his son, don't tell the others when something good
happens to us. We don't even have to tell our
family members some time until we've achieved something.
Sometimes we planning to go somewhere who says that you have
to inform everyone know. It depends on how important that
journey is. You don't have to always inform
everyone of your next move. You don't have to tell them
about your business deals. You don't have to tell them
about anything is that you know, a lotta a huarache communicate
man. You should seek assistance in
fulfilling your needs by being Secret of, to a certain extent.
You don't have to tell everyone everything, because shaytan is
bad. They might be good in a shallow
pan and Engineers on Yahoo. Japan is an outright clear enemy
against man. So even if a person does not
want to be jealous, you find that sometimes shaitan puts in a
spear and arrow interferes and makes a person jealous.
May Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala not make us jealous.
When a person has a A child. For example, a little baby for
those who are newly, married, who have children.
Alhamdulillah, if the baby sleeps all night, you don't have
to tell the whole world. You know what?
That baby? Mashallah sleeps all night from
that night on the baby might not sleep because I'm and the evil.
I might attack that lady. You can say, look, that's a
normal childhood. You know, they sleep, you know,
how children sleep. So you haven't lied and
hamdulillah at the same time when it when something good
happens. You don't have to tell everyone.
And if you tell them, make sure they say, masha'allah in front
of you. Don't be shy to say, say
masha'allah, he was thrown into this but and they picked him up
when they picked him up. What does Allah, say, what are
some people? They regarded him as
merchandise. And they said, no, this will
make money out of this, you know, sometimes when we pick up
Lost Property, what do we do? Valuable you pick up a blank
check. It tells you a million Rands.
What do you do? Very tempting may Allah grant us
a man. May Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala
make us who amongst those who can hand it back.
You know, what happens. Sometimes like what we read in
the newspapers in countries, like these you find you hand
back a large amount of money to the Cop Shop to the policeman.
Sometimes it disappears from there, but don't worry so long
as you didn't steal it. Well awesome.
Hannah what Allah Safeguard us. So the same applies here.
These people. What do we learn from them?
Them. They looked at an innocent boy,
very handsome, man. They said no will make money out
of this Camp. Bring him into this.
They sold him at the next Market.
Someone bought him a very wealthy man, bought him.
And in a nutshell, what had happened, the wife of this
minister of Egypt, had an evil intention when she saw this
handsome, man, and some use of either his salatu.
Wassalam. She says, you know what?
He's a worker for us, he works for us.
Let me advance sexually. How many of us are guilty of
making sexual advances at the workplace.
Let's be honest. This lesson comes from Surah
Yusuf. Whether it is male or female is
besides the point. The lesson is don't ever make
sexual advances that are Haram especially at the workplace.
If someone is working for you and don't think that this person
here is actually under me. So, let me try my luck Allahu
Akbar, Allah Safeguard us, look at the example who would have
guessed that? We learn this from it.
That whenever our eyes and our gaze is not controlled.
And we happen to look at the opposite sex more than what we
are allowed in that case. It will result.
Destruction of one way or another.
Let me give you an example. Sometimes you driving your motor
vehicle and someone happens to pass quite good-looking and you
turn, you might bump the guy in front of you.
It can happen. Why it's similar to cutting the
hand, it will cause bodily harm, material harm.
It will cause lots of harm. It's a fact, sometimes, if you
engage in an act, you might end up with a huge disease.
May Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala Safeguard us.
So this is a lesson to say anyone who wants to follow that
path. There is destruction.
I'm coming your way. Do you know that?
We are taught by rasulullah. Salallahu, alaihe.
Wasalam that when you have wealth a salary at the end of
the month or well, and there is no Baraka in it.
No better care at all. Ask yourself.
You probably engaged innocent. You probably all yielding some
of your bad habits. Maybe Casino may, be gambling,
maybe drinking, maybe nightclubs, maybe drugs, maybe a
woman may be with someone of the opposite sex.
You need to pay money. You need to look after someone
more than what Allah has shouldered upon you.
How can they be Baraka in your wealth?
So if you find your money is running away quickly.
Leave the sins and you will find that 500 grams will last the
whole month. You'll still have 450 in sha.
Allah may Allah grant us Barack. I imagine the Hadith says what
you learned that William rotten that woman sobbing Muhammad Ali.
In fact Allah Allah Allah Allah will grant the shade of his
artists on the day of qiyama to a man whom we know lady who is
very good-looking and wealthy, and well-to-do who has a high
status in society calls him toward sin.
And she says, look, he says, look, I fear.
Allah Allah says, on the day of p.m.
I will call him out by now. Everyone will be wondering, what
is this man called out for by name?
Allah, Akbar. Allah says, come come this day
of heat. You will be under the air
conditioning system, Allahu Akbar, under the shade of my own
heart. This is the interpretation of
the dream that I had in the very beginning of the Sun, the moon,
and the Eleven stars. So the sun was depicting, the
father of the house. The moon was depicting, the
mother of the house. And we've got to listen to this
carefully. And the stars were depicting,
the 11 children. Children, if you take a look at
the qualities of the Sun, strong powerful, it shines.
Everyone feels secure in the presence of the sun.
We go out. We work we and sustenance we
come back. We feel so secure.
That is, those are the qualities of the Sun, every father, in
every home needs, to have the qualities that the sun outside
has. He needs to present to give the
ones in the house, the sense of security bringing the
sustenance, make everyone feel secure and make them feel.
Well, don't we feel so? When the sun is out, we run
around without any fear hamdulillah.
Those are the qualities that Allah has kept in the sun.
They are supposed to be in every successful father of every home.
The moon beautiful. You can look at it.
Mashallah. You can admire it.
The moon. The light of the moon is solely
derived from the Sun. Do we know that the, the
brighter, the Sun, the more you see of the moon.
So Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala has kept the example of the Moon,
the example, of the successful, man.
Other in the house, the stars who are the children?
You don't see them during the daylight.
If you look at the sun, you won't be able to see directly.
You will probably need some glasses.
That is the respect of the father in the house.
Not to say, we shouldn't look at him but we respect him.
But when the moon is out, the stars are twinkling.
Masha Allah, it shows the closeness of relation between
the children and the mother and hamdulillah.
Let's try and understand this example.
It's a very deep example and Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala is
telling us successful mother's amazingly.
They should be having the He's on the moon.
Can I give you one more Jewel that we extract?
The moon goes through a 28-day cycle.
Precisely, some days. It's not there.
Some days. It's there the same applies to a
woman. She goes through a 28-day cycle,
some days. She is there some days, she's
not there now. Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala grant
us the true understanding Allah, he, when Allah gives an example.
It is a perfect example that fits.
And if we think that it is not a perfect example.
A, we need to revisit our intellect because the Creator
cannot make a mistake. The Stars alhamdulillah we've
seen. Now, let me tell you and we want
to end with this inshallah. I might mention one verse of
Surat seeing that I've taken a little bit more time because
it's an interesting sort of today.
Very interesting. Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala gives
us yet another example when we mix the roles, when father wants
to play a role of mother and mother wants to play a role of
Father, what happens? There is chaos and confusion.
They are fighting the children, lose the most, don't we agree
the children suffer the most because these two have now
confused there. Pause.
So when the Sun goes into the place of the Moon, the Moon goes
into, the place of the sun. We have an eclipse where you can
see neither of them amazing. And what happens the stars are
nowhere to be seen. When there is an eclipse.
The same way. When we mix up our roles that
Allah has given us, we have what is known as a social Eclipse.
Chaos in the house Allahu Akbar. May Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala
save us from that sign of Tiana in the same way that an eclipse
is a sign of Tiana. We are supposed to be engaging
in Salah and he still far and Toba.
When the eclipse is there outside, when there is a social
eclipse in the house, that is also a sign of teamö.
We need to be engaging in this type of our and Tobias Allah
until the condition returns to normal.
That is Surah Yusuf.
