1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,280 This millahi will hamdulillahi was Salah to Salah Moallah 2 00:00:03,280 --> 00:00:07,200 Abdullahi or asuli Muhammad Allah Ali Wasahi Jamain. 3 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,920 My beloved brothers and sisters, one of the favors of Allah 4 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:18,480 Subhanahu Atallah upon us is the fact that we can repent, seek 5 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:22,360 forgiveness, earn the forgiveness, earn the pleasure 6 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:26,720 of Allah Subhanahu Attallah. And if we change our ways and 7 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:31,560 habits permanently, Allah says He will convert that bad which 8 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:37,680 we did or used to do into good on the right side of the scale 9 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,280 on the Day of Judgment. So to put this into perspective, 10 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:46,160 what it means is that if you used to do bad or you have done 11 00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:50,560 bad, and not only do you seek the forgiveness of Allah, but 12 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,280 you leave it for the sake of Allah. 13 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,880 And nothing would make you leave it unless you have a connection 14 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,400 with Allah, unless you feel that you need that bond with Allah, 15 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,200 and unless you realize the status of Allah. 16 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,360 So if you have left your ways that you may have had or you 17 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:15,400 have quit it and changed your life, Allah says, I love that so 18 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:21,120 much, the realization of Insan, the realization of mankind. 19 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,440 When He turns to me seeking forgiveness after having sinned 20 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:30,800 for a very long time, I love it so much because He only did it 21 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,960 for me. Only for me that I will take 22 00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:37,560 those bad deeds and convert them into good deeds. 23 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:42,280 Because it was very possible that he could have continued 24 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,600 doing it if he did not want a relation with me, Subhanallah. 25 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,080 So this is one of the favors of Allah that we don't realize. 26 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,120 We all have weaknesses. We are all Bashar. 27 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,200 We are all human beings. Human beings falter. 28 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:02,480 Sometimes we make more mistakes than sins, and sometimes we make 29 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,240 more sins than mistakes. What's the difference between 30 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,400 the two? When I'm saying mistakes and 31 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,479 sins, A mistake is something perhaps you might not have 32 00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:12,600 planned to do and you fell into it. 33 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,640 I bumped into a car. Its a mistake, its not a sin 34 00:02:15,640 --> 00:02:19,800 right? But when I intentionally want to 35 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,440 ram into someones vehicle in order to do something that is 36 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,080 criminal, that becomes a sin. You see the difference? 37 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,800 So the same applies. If you planned not to get up for 38 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,400 Salat al fajr, then that is something sinful. 39 00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:38,000 But if you overslept even after having set the alarms and having 40 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,920 planned to get up, that is a mistake. 41 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,960 So This is why there is a difference between the two. 42 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,840 As for the mistake, Allah Almighty can forgive it even if 43 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:54,040 you may not have had specific repentance depending on what 44 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,800 exactly it was. Minor sins are forgiven by Allah 45 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,160 subhanahu at Allah at times even without you seeking the 46 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,400 forgiveness. Because when you do a good deed, 47 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,360 the bad one is automatically wiped out. 48 00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:09,320 You make will do. The hadith says when you wash 49 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,280 yourself in preparation for prayer, that water the droplets 50 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,720 that actually fall down with each droplet, your sins are 51 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,800 falling down. That's the hadith of the Prophet 52 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,600 sallallahu alayhi wasallam. So its very important to realize 53 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:27,320 all of this is the favor of Allah, the favor of Allah upon 54 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,280 us. Imagine if there was no toba. 55 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:35,040 Imagine if you committed a sin, you have to pay for it, whether 56 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,440 you say I'm sorry or you don't. Imagine if that was the case. 57 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,040 Now some people have a misunderstanding regarding the 58 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,040 issue of shirk. What is shirk? 59 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,960 It is association of partnership with Allah in worship. 60 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:54,040 When a person engages in shirk, there is a major, major concern 61 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,720 because if that person dies in that condition, what would 62 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,480 happen is Allah has issued a warning. 63 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:25,040 He says in Allah, Allah forgives or Allah will not 64 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,840 forgive association of partnership with Him, but 65 00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:35,080 besides that he will forgive whatever He wills and whatever 66 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,840 he wants to forgive. That verse is very clear. 67 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,080 It appears more than once in the Quran. 68 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,120 Allah has that warning in several places in the Quran, in 69 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,520 some places worded a little bit differently, but the 70 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:52,520 misunderstanding is that if a person commits shirik, are they 71 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:58,480 always not forgiven? Bear in mind the verse is only 72 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:03,120 talking about a person who died without seeking forgiveness from 73 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,920 shirk. So if you and I were to die 74 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,840 right now, I'm sure there might be some sins we havent sought 75 00:05:09,840 --> 00:05:15,240 forgiveness of or from right? If you die right now, I die 76 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,920 right now. Allah says I may forgive you, I 77 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,760 may forgive anything and everything you've done. 78 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,840 Allah has his own. He's the most merciful, the most 79 00:05:24,840 --> 00:05:28,760 kind, the most forgiving, the most unique, the most just. 80 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,520 And what so many qualities that are amazing, superb qualities of 81 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,280 Kamal, qualities of the highest level of that particular 82 00:05:36,280 --> 00:05:39,520 quality, they belong to Allah. So if Allah is most forgiving, 83 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,400 most merciful, most kind, most loving, we have a lot of hope. 84 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:48,080 But if a person dies right now, Allah says I can forgive 85 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,640 anything no matter what it is, its up to me. 86 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,680 That's why its important to have your personal relationship with 87 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,320 Allah, your personal relationship with Allah, its 88 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,720 your secret. Have have some communication 89 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,040 with Allah, something you know when you do something wrong, 90 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,640 talk to Allah, say oh Allah forgive me, I'm wrong, I'm in 91 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,200 sun. I did this not because I defy 92 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,200 you, You are my maker. I have no option but to go to 93 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:13,480 you. But I'm so weak. 94 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,560 I ended up doing this. I feel embarrassed. 95 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:16,760 Forgive me. Oh Allah. 96 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,400 That's your connection with Allah, Your personal private 97 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,360 relationship that no one knows besides you and Allah. 98 00:06:22,840 --> 00:06:27,400 Do you know that there is nobody on earth who can know you better 99 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,080 than Allah? In fact it goes a level higher. 100 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,440 Allah knows you better than yourself. 101 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:34,840 Allah knows you better than yourself. 102 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,120 So ask Allah for guidance, He will guide you. 103 00:06:37,280 --> 00:06:39,000 Ask Allah for goodness, He will grant you. 104 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:44,120 The problem is if a person has died and they engaged in shirk 105 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,560 and they have not repented from it, that's where this question 106 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,920 comes about to say will Allah forgive such a sin? 107 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:58,560 He says no I don't want to, how and why I have no option. 108 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,120 I have nothing to tell you because I just have to read to 109 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,080 you. This is what Allah said and its 110 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,320 full stop. It stops there. 111 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,240 I can't explain to you beyond that so please be careful. 112 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,320 Something dangerous but the good thing you and I are breathing. 113 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,280 May Allah forgive us. May Allah forgive us for the 114 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,840 sins we've committed knowingly, unknowingly, astafiru kalimalla 115 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,320 alamuhu. I seek the forgiveness of Allah 116 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,560 for that which I might have committed without even me 117 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,160 knowing Allah. Hum ini oudu bikamin and 118 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:33,200 Ushirika bikashe and Allah mohu. Oh Allah, I seek protection, 119 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:39,720 refuge in you from shirk, from committing sin, of association, 120 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,760 of partnership with you knowingly. 121 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,880 And I seek forgiveness for that which might have happened 122 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,360 unknowingly. Allahu Akbar, may Allah forgive 123 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:52,040 us. So there we are covering 124 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,520 ourselves. Allah Almighty says to us, you 125 00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:00,000 are alive for as long as you are alive and you are breathing and 126 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:05,320 you have your consciousness and you are conscious, you can seek 127 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,160 forgiveness. Allah will forgive you. 128 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,080 Allah says when you seek forgiveness, I get very happy. 129 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:16,520 Why would Allah get happy? Today I want to explain to you 130 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:21,080 why Allah who does not need you, would even become happy that you 131 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,040 seek forgiveness. He doesn't need to be happy but 132 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:25,920 he tells you. I get so happy. 133 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,600 There's a hadith that actually explains how happy Allah gets. 134 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,640 Subhanahu to Allah. Let me tell you why he gets 135 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,159 happy. Because Allah created the 136 00:08:35,159 --> 00:08:37,240 angels. The angels do not have the 137 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,080 capacity to transgress. And Allah, Subhanahu Atallah 138 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,240 created shaitan. Shaitan out of his arrogance, 139 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,160 sworn enemy, He will not obey Allah's instruction. 140 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:52,080 That's why he's called Shaitan. You know Shabana in the Arabic 141 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,720 language, that root it is derived from one who is away 142 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,720 from the obedience of Allah, one who actually catapulted himself 143 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,440 out of the obedience of Allah. Subhanahu Atallah, he came out. 144 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:08,000 He doesn't want. He knows Allah, Shaytan knows 145 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,960 Allah. Shaytan knows what's right. 146 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,560 But his arrogance made him think he's higher than man. 147 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,640 However, all of that was a plan of Allah. 148 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,360 Why did he do it? We only have the answers from 149 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,440 Him. We can't go into it deeper than 150 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,120 what Allah said. If Allah said I created man 151 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,520 because of this, He created man because of this. 152 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,840 If Allah says I created shaitan because of this, He created 153 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,560 shaitan because of this. I created the angels because of 154 00:09:35,560 --> 00:09:37,280 that. He created the angels because of 155 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,840 that. You and I are believers. 156 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:44,040 We believe. And for your information today, 157 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,240 I've said this three times in the last few days. 158 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,040 I have to say it again. Today we have artificial 159 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,520 intelligence. Artificial intelligence can comb 160 00:09:52,520 --> 00:10:00,240 through the whole of whatever is available on line, everything, 161 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:06,440 every book, every Bible, every Quran, every Torah, whatever 162 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,920 there is, every website that has it, I mean, and everything 163 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,280 completely the discussions of whatever there is on earth. 164 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,520 And they've come up with artificial intelligence, various 165 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,080 platforms. The probably one of the most 166 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,560 reputable of them is known as ChatGPT. 167 00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:25,720 You might have heard that right if you were to ask. 168 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,520 And there are people who have people who have asked, 169 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,400 non-Muslims and Muslims have asked ChatGPT. 170 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:36,320 Tell us about the most authentic book in existence. 171 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,720 It will tell you the Quran. The Quran Tell us about the 172 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,240 faith that is the most authentic Islam. 173 00:10:44,680 --> 00:10:46,960 What about Christianity? It will tell you whatever it 174 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,840 wants to. It will still confirm Islam. 175 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:53,000 So much so there is a sister who said, well would you be Muslim? 176 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,920 So ChatGPT says yes, if I were a human I would be Muslim. 177 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,240 And I'm telling you this because look, look who are we? 178 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,120 Even if you didn't have knowledge, forget about it. 179 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,880 Just ask if you know. I'm not saying its always 180 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,640 correct but in this particular instance its backing. 181 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,240 The evidence is backing Allah. I should be thankful to Allah 182 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,160 that I didn't need all of that. I believed it without all of 183 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,600 that Allahu Akbar. It reminds me of Abu Baker 184 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,040 Siddiq or the Allahu and he became known as a siddiq because 185 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,120 when Miya Raj happened and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi 186 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:30,000 wasallam went up to the heavens and Allah Subhanahu attallah 187 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,280 took him and favored him in a billion and one ways. 188 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:37,080 That night he came back to a warm bedding and the kufar was 189 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,600 saying, do you know if anyone were to do this and to claim 190 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,440 this, would it be true or false? Abu Baker al Siddiq al Allah and 191 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:49,400 who said, well if he is claiming it then it's true, Allahu Akbar, 192 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,680 Allahu Akbar, if he is claiming it then it's true. 193 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,560 It reminds me of Ibrahim Ali Salaam when he when he was 194 00:11:56,560 --> 00:12:00,400 instructed to sacrifice his son, when he was instructed to leave 195 00:12:00,560 --> 00:12:04,960 his family in the desert and go a wife and a child and nothing 196 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,680 with them, no water, no drink. He says if it is Allah 197 00:12:08,680 --> 00:12:12,320 instructing me, I'm walking. He started walking Subhanallah. 198 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:17,280 So without any need for any evidence, without any need for 199 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:23,200 any explanation, it did not make sense to Ibrahim Alayhi Salaam 200 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,120 to sacrifice his son. It did not make sense. 201 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,880 But he says, you know what? I know where the instruction is 202 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:34,680 coming from, so I will do it. That resulted in him becoming 203 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:39,400 Abu al Ambiya. He became the father of all 204 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,400 those messengers to follow you and I. 205 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,920 If we sacrifice, Allah tells you to dress in a certain way. 206 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,200 Don't question it. Are you a believer? 207 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,600 Yes, put it, you know what to do. 208 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,400 Men and women. I'm not talking about women 209 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,080 alone, Men also the boys also sometimes nowadays we wear these 210 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,560 half bombers that are really, really embarrassing. 211 00:12:58,680 --> 00:13:01,000 You know that we don't. We are believers. 212 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,880 Carry yourself with respect. You want a haircut, beautiful 213 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,320 haircut. You respect, you're a believer. 214 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,240 You need to have good language. You swear FS and BS no need for 215 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,080 that. You are a believer on a very 216 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,200 high level. You have a status beyond what 217 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,200 you you can imagine. You have a favor of Allah that 218 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,680 you don't even realize the value of. 219 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,600 You know you don't need to swear. 220 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,680 You don't need to cheat and deceive. 221 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:30,400 You don't need to be a person who is abusive or belittling of 222 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:31,880 others. You don't need it. 223 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,920 You are such an amazing person gifted by Allah. 224 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,840 Allah is telling you not to do certain things. 225 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,960 The fact that Allah says don't do it, do not do it. 226 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,760 See what it will do for you in your life. 227 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,480 When Allah instructs you to fulfill Salah, He tells you fajr 228 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,080 vohor asor maghrib isha at certain times. 229 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,760 Fulfill it as Allah asked you. No need to ask, no need to 230 00:13:55,760 --> 00:14:00,240 doubt, no need to get, you know, a person who's justifying why 231 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,600 they didn't pray. Someone says, you know, I didn't 232 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,320 pray, but you know, like now I heard about what did you hear? 233 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,120 There's no excuse, there's nothing. 234 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,160 No one who's a true Muslim can ever say that. 235 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:12,720 You know what, never mind, you don't have to pray. 236 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,720 Who are you to say that? When Allah tells you just say 237 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,360 something in our apana, that's it. 238 00:14:17,560 --> 00:14:20,920 And This is why when Allah looked at the hearts and the 239 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,480 souls, the best and the greatest was that of Nabi Muhammad 240 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,040 Salallahu Alayhi wasalam, created by Allah. 241 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,000 That way Allah made him the final of the messengers, the 242 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,080 most noble of all of them, the highest of all of the creatures 243 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,120 of Allah Subhanahu Atallah. Here's the soul going into the 244 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,760 blessed body that is Muhammad Salallahu Salam, created as 245 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,960 though he was made the way he wished to be. 246 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,080 That's what the Sahaba of Allah and who said about him. 247 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,400 Then Allah Subhanahu Atallah chose the best of the souls, 248 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,560 made them the companions of the Prophet Salallahu. 249 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,160 This is why one of the most dangerous things to do is to 250 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,480 talk bad about any one of the companions, because they were 251 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,440 chosen by Allah to carry the Dean. 252 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,280 Anyone who starts talking bad about companions of the 253 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:11,560 prophets, Allah Salam, their aim is only one thing, only one 254 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,120 thing to destroy the whole Dean because it was carried only by 255 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,400 those people. If it was only carried by a 256 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,560 certain number of people and you're talking bad about the 257 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,760 main people who were there, Abu Baker, Omar, Othman, Aisha, 258 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:28,040 Hafsa, etcetera, etcetera. Your aim is only one thing to to 259 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:29,720 to destroy the Dean. That's it. 260 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,040 To destroy the true teachings of this faith. 261 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,880 Why? How can Allah make such a big 262 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:39,640 blunder to have 120,000 companions and only six of them 263 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,360 were good? How can you say that? 264 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:46,160 So we need to be careful because we will not talk bad about any 265 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,640 one of them. Lata subbu as habi for Latina 266 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:59,240 CBD he had to commit Don't ever talk bad about my companions. 267 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,360 The prophets are seldom says it himself, and he said it at a 268 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:06,360 time when some of the newer were speaking, saying one or two 269 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:10,280 things about some of the older. He says Don't ever you dare say 270 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,080 a bad word about any one of my companions. 271 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,080 For. Indeed, if you were to spend 272 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:20,600 Mount Uhud full of gold in the cause of Allah, it would not be 273 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,160 equivalent to 1 handful that they spent, or even half of it 274 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,000 they spent at a time when it was most needed. 275 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,200 Look at the battle of Badr. The battle of Badr, how many 276 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,720 people were there? 313 Initially they went out. 277 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:40,920 The intention was not even to go and fight the Kufar, but rather 278 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:42,280 do you know what was the intention? 279 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:48,640 These companions were driven out of Mecca and the people of Mecca 280 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,640 stole their wealth and usurped whatever their belongings were 281 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,520 and they took that and they went to a sham which is the Syrian 282 00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,600 region and they were bringing back caravans with merchandise. 283 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,840 So the sahaba of the Allahu and whom were given permission by 284 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,839 Allah, the professor Sallam was given permission by Allah 285 00:17:06,839 --> 00:17:12,319 Subhanahu at Allah that they can go and they can get back. 286 00:17:12,319 --> 00:17:17,520 What was this? Abu Sufyan was coming back with 287 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,240 a group of people. The Prophet Salallahu Salem took 288 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:24,920 a few, not even well armed, but 300, a few people and he went 289 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,720 with them and he ended up Subhanallah right in Badr 290 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,640 because they changed the route and they went the other way and 291 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,040 they decided to go back. You read the story, you probably 292 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,800 know some of the details. The point I want to raise is 293 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:42,760 that when they faced an army of 1000 strong, strong, heavily 294 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:47,000 armed Meccans superpower of the time and these guys were 313, 295 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,720 what did they have? Very few weapons, little bit, 296 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,920 nothing much. They had an option. 297 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:57,200 What do we do now? Allah gave them revelation to 298 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:02,080 tell them to calm them down. Don't worry, you believe we will 299 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,760 send angels to protect, We will send angels to fight. 300 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:13,200 These people pitch up in better and they look at the statistics, 301 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,920 see how many they are. They already started having a 302 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,200 party. The war hasn't even taken place 303 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,280 and what were they doing? They were partying. 304 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,400 Now, when you party, why do we tell our youngsters, don't go 305 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,840 and party and drink yourself out and don't go and do all these 306 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:27,920 things. You're a believer. 307 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:32,120 You are higher than all of that. You are so high that you don't 308 00:18:32,120 --> 00:18:34,320 need to do cheap things to be happy. 309 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:38,080 You don't need to do low things. You don't need to be on drugs. 310 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,680 You don't need to go out and gamble all your earnings. 311 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,880 You don't need all of that in Islam is considered Haram 312 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,560 because Allah says you are Ashraf al mahlukat. 313 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,040 You need to be higher than that. You don't just go and intoxicate 314 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,160 yourself. The difference between you and 315 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,640 animal is your brain. Why block the same brain? 316 00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:00,000 Allahu Akbar, these people started drinking and partying 317 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:01,520 and they were partying all night. 318 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,280 In the morning when the war was taking place, they couldn't even 319 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:05,760 look properly. They couldn't even stand 320 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,400 properly. They didn't even know what was 321 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,440 going on. And in the in a short while the 322 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,320 Muslim men had already won. They were shocked. 323 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,320 What happened? You got knocked. 324 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,040 That's exactly what happened. May Allah Almighty protect us. 325 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:23,240 But the point I want to raise is Allah Subhanahu at Allah had 326 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,440 given Rasool Allah Sallallallah Salaam some good news. 327 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:31,600 And Rasul Allah sallallahu Salaam says, oh Allah, we are as 328 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:36,760 you can see, this number, this number meaning they were 313. 329 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:42,560 If you would like to be worshipped after today, grant us 330 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,760 victory. Allahu Akbar. 331 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,120 What does that mean? There's only this, there's no 332 00:19:47,120 --> 00:19:49,600 one else who's going to come. We these were the only people. 333 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:51,800 Now I want to tell you something interesting. 334 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:58,680 They were granted victory. And after that, later someone 335 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,960 spoke about one of the companions who had done 336 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:06,720 something, who was from among those who participated in Buddha 337 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,680 later on. And people were talking, hey, 338 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,000 this guy, did you hear what he did? 339 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,160 He did this and he did that and maybe whatever. 340 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,960 And the Prophet Sallalla Salaam gave us good news. 341 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:28,400 He gave U.S. news that every single one of those 313 who took 342 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,320 part in the Battle of Badr, whether they were martyred or 343 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,120 remained and died later or martyred in other battles, all 344 00:20:36,120 --> 00:20:41,640 of those 313, Allah was pleased with them and told them do what 345 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:48,800 you want from today because I've forgiven you everything to as 346 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:58,920 you please for in because I have forgiven you. 347 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,040 Allah looked at the hearts of the people on that day of Badr 348 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,880 and He saw what they were ready to give for His sake. 349 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,760 You and I are not ready to forsake the blanket for fajo or 350 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,320 lie. You're not prepared to wear a 351 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,480 thin piece of cloth for the sake of Allah if needed. 352 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,880 You, we, you and I are not prepared to correct something 353 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,600 that is not even giving your life. 354 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,040 No ones asking you to sacrifice a son like Ibrahim Alayhi 355 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,120 Salaam. No one is asking you to 356 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,000 participate in a battle of battle. 357 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,760 But simple things, we can do it, we should do it. 358 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,240 We are high. Those companions look at what 359 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:42,000 Allah gave them. You mentioned any name. 360 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,560 What do you have to say after the name? 361 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:49,280 Radhi Allahuan Ho Abu darda Eradi Allahuan, Abu Hurairahi 362 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:54,120 Allahuan, amrab nullahas Radhi Allahuan, Abu Baker Ibn U Abu 363 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:59,320 Allahuan Othman abney afan Radhi Allahuan and sometimes we would 364 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,400 say also Radhi Allahuan Huma because both the son and the 365 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,080 father are both Muslim mean and sahaba Allahuan. 366 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:12,640 Imagine the status now, don't you think that even though we 367 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,760 were not chosen as sahaba and Allah knows why, you and I are 368 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,760 born in this era, we are born in this era, we are not born in the 369 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,360 era of the prophets of Sallam, but we are part of his ummah. 370 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,360 Allah knows we are so weak that if someone came and told us this 371 00:22:24,360 --> 00:22:29,000 is Haram, we will say I'll think about it, am I right? 372 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,840 Sometimes the Imam gets up or anyone gets up and tells you, 373 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,760 you know what brother, this is not allowed sister, stop judging 374 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,160 me.

I also want to add please when 380 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,520 you correct someone don't don't issue harsh statements. 381 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,840 Do it in a beautiful way. You know when you talk to 382 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,320 someone you don't tell them brother why don't you pray say 383 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,320 my brother Mashallah we all need to improve inshallah when it 384 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,840 comes to our prayer. I need to do better, you need to 385 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,200 do better. Come together, we will do 386 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:06,240 better. That's how you talk. 387 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,080 That is hikma, that is wisdom. When you belittle someone, 388 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,080 they're not going to come. You see someone smoking, say 389 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,520 Haram, yes, we all know what it is. 390 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,920 But you say, brother, you know Mashallah, Allah has blessed you 391 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,040 in so many ways. My dua for you Inshallah is and 392 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:21,480 for me. You pray for me for so many 393 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:22,800 things. I pray for you inshallah. 394 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,040 You know the habit of cigarettes by the will of Allah. 395 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,760 Recently someone asked me, hey, I no longer smoke man, I no 396 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,960 longer smoke. I said, oh Mashallah, that's a 397 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:35,600 big achievement, am I right? I was smoking for 15 years and I 398 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,440 was smoking like a chimney and I no longer smoke. 399 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,720 I said, oh Subhanallah. A little while later he takes 400 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,840 out some vapes and he's puffing away like like no man's 401 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,280 business. I'm thinking to myself, I better 402 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,160 keep quiet here for now because Allah knows best, you know, 403 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,600 Allah knows best. So may Allah Almighty grant us 404 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,640 ease. The point here is when you want 405 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,800 to correct someone, do it in a beautiful way. 406 00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,680 Think hard. How would I like it? 407 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,720 You want to tell someone you know that you need to correct 408 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,880 this or that. Please go easy and then put 409 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,040 yourself also inside that whole picture. 410 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,840 Talk about your weaknesses also and then mention one or two 411 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,240 things in a lovely way so that they can feel that you know what 412 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,920 this person cares for me. So the sahaba of the Allahu 413 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,360 Anum, I said we are not sahaba because Allah knows. 414 00:24:21,360 --> 00:24:25,000 If we were sahaba, I think may Allah forgive us, we might not 415 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,960 have just listened to the instruction. 416 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:33,160 When alcohol was banned, someone read a verse and it the message 417 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,400 went to the people of Medina. They didn't ask, is it true, is 418 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:37,680 it not true? I'm going to go, I'm going to 419 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:43,040 ask, I'm going to see. They immediately spoiled 420 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,480 whatever they had to spoil, gone today, they will phone a, you 421 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:47,560 know, I got this. I don't know. 422 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,320 Is there any halal way of coming out of it? 423 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,160 I'm going to suffer a loss. Maybe this, that's how we talk. 424 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:53,800 Let's be honest, that's how we talk. 425 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,040 But look at that. They got a status. 426 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,240 They won the dunya and they won the ahila. 427 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,920 Why did they win the ahila? Because Allah chose them. 428 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,360 Up to today. I've never seen Abu Baker of the 429 00:25:05,360 --> 00:25:10,440 Allahuan, but trust me, not only me, all of us, we love him so 430 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,680 much that when someone says something negative about him, 431 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,480 they are actually degrading themselves, not him. 432 00:25:17,120 --> 00:25:20,880 Its like the prophet Salallahu Salam, no matter what anyone 433 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,320 says about him, negative. Allah says we've protected your 434 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,000 reputation. They will never be able to 435 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,520 damage it. Its impossible, its impossible. 436 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,400 You cannot harm the reputation of Nabi Muhammad Salallahu Salam 437 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,200 at all. You harm yourself. 438 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,320 You might think it will cause a little bit of this and that you 439 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,640 might meaning a person who's doing that type of behavior and 440 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,400 engaging in that type of statements and so on. 441 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,400 They might think I'm going to cause harm to Muhammad Salallahu 442 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:50,880 Alayhi wasalam. They won't. 443 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:57,240 Actually, Allah Almighty has protected him in Kafina Kal 444 00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:02,240 mustazi. In what a beautiful verse, Allah 445 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:07,000 says we have protected you from those who want to scoff and mock 446 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,280 and joke and whatever else they want to do in order to degrade 447 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:11,680 and belittle. It can't happen. 448 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,400 We have protected you. In another verse, Allah tells 449 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,960 the Prophet sallallahu sallam and I tell you something, the 450 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,880 Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam had people standing 451 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,880 with him. They used to stand while he was 452 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:29,080 asleep and they used to take turns so that no one harms him. 453 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,560 They loved him. A day came when he sent them 454 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:33,640 away. What happened? 455 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:56,320 A verse was revealed. Messenger get up and convey the 456 00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:00,960 message and then part of that later on, Allah says Allah will 457 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,920 protect you from the people. They won't be able to harm you. 458 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,960 How many times someone came with the sword and suddenly the 459 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,680 process and just lean forward to see what's going on in the sword 460 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,840 drops. How many times there there are 461 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,720 incidents where things like that have happened, People intend to 462 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,560 harm but the harm actually came on them. 463 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,400 Allah says we protected you, We have protected you completely. 464 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:27,440 That day the Sahaba of Allah who said we heard a light snore from 465 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,320 him, he had such a good sleep and no one was standing around 466 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,560 him. No one was standing around. 467 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,440 He had such a good sleep. They heard a light snow. 468 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,720 Allah subhanahu at Allah Grantas good sleep. 469 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,880 So the point I'm raising is look at the blessing of Allah on us. 470 00:27:45,120 --> 00:27:48,040 Allah tells us to turn to him. Allah tells us repent, I'll 471 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:49,720 convert it. Change your life. 472 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,520 Its the day to change. You won't have gatherings of 473 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,760 this nature so often, they'll happen a few times in the year. 474 00:27:56,040 --> 00:28:00,800 But sometimes you find Allah wants you to change so he gets 475 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,840 someone to come and stand and tell you today is the day. 476 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,160 You wanted to change your life, you wanted to do this. 477 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:07,880 You knew what you had to do today. 478 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,000 You got to do that. Make sure that it's done. 479 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:11,960 That's it. I want a better life. 480 00:28:12,120 --> 00:28:15,480 Look at my brothers and sisters struggling in Lebanon, in 481 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,640 Palestine and so many other places across the globe. 482 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,800 Do you think that we don't care? Well, Lahi, we care. 483 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:25,720 Right now there are teams working in Lebanon to help our 484 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,640 brothers and sisters and we're not going to go to them and say 485 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,200 brother, sorry, what sect do you belong to? 486 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,560 Before I help Wallahil Avim, you're a Muslim, you say the 487 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,400 shahada, I will help you to the degree that even the 488 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,600 non-Muslims, if we can, we will help them. 489 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,600 That's who we are. We are Muslim mean we are 490 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,480 taught. They will come to the Dean of 491 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,400 Allah by looking at who we are and what we stand for. 492 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,520 All that becomes irrelevant. So remember one thing, you are 493 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,440 not going to survive on your own in your small little cocoon. 494 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,640 No, you will have to cooperate with the rest of the ummah 495 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,760 whether you like it or you don't like it in order to get power. 496 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,880 Because Allah says well, living in a cafaro bar, the whom? 497 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:15,680 Only Allah talks of Kufar, He says they support and protect 498 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:20,040 one another. If you're not going to protect 499 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,000 one another in a similar fashion, there will be chaos on 500 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:24,520 earth. Hence we are witnessing the 501 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,200 chaos today. It's in the Quran. 502 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,080 Why is chaos happening? We don't care. 503 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:34,440 This enemy has succeeded in making us into so so tiny 504 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,880 groups. Each one thinks I'm on the Hut 505 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,560 and everybody else is going to Jahannam for them. 506 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,880 Jahannam would probably empty place, no traffic, no nothing. 507 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,440 Subhanallah, you'll be shocked when you go there. 508 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,840 The people you least thought were going to be there will be 509 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,960 there waiting for you. But it's going to be full 510 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,400 inshallah with all of us. I mean, Mela Grant is Jannah. 511 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,920 Seek the forgiveness of Allah, have a good heart, have a clean 512 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:02,400 heart, learn to love people. There will be differences. 513 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,280 Allah has created us. He made sure we are different. 514 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,920 He made sure that everybody's understanding is unique. 515 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,920 Your understanding and mind, your brain capacity and mind, 516 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:13,920 your way of thinking and mind is unique. 517 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,800 It's different. It's completely different. 518 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,040 Why Allah made it that way. He wants you to get the reward 519 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,800 by bearing the interactions with one another. 520 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,080 I'm going to meet you. You're a difficult person, 521 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,120 you're tough, You've got a mouth that is very shy, sharp meaning 522 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,880 a tongue that's really sharp, a mouth that wags and just keeps 523 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,360 moving whole morning and evening. 524 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,760 I'm going to be able to inshall and navigate through it because 525 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,240 I'm also a human. Part of my duty on Earth is to 526 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,400 learn how to interact with people like you. 527 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:46,000 Sorry, I'm not pointing at anyone by the way, but you know 528 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,480 what I mean. Its OK, people will be 529 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:48,720 different. Learn to love them. 530 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,280 So what? He might have said one or two 531 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,760 bad. Oh my brother man, he's my 532 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,120 brother in the deal. I love this person. 533 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:56,800 That's when you develop your heart. 534 00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,920 Today many people say purification of the heart let's 535 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,480 but their own hearts need help sometimes. 536 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,960 Because you know what? A little bit of hatred and 537 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:06,720 jealousy. That's it, its over. 538 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,320 Take it out, its not worth it. Try to bring people, try to 539 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,040 learn. Learn to love people who don't 540 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,160 look like you. Learn to love people who look 541 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,040 poorer than you, who might be a different race from you, who 542 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,320 might come from a different part of the globe than you. 543 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,080 That is Islam, that's the beauty. 544 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,720 People enter the fold of Islam because they see no racism in 545 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,360 Islam. But racism is alive. 546 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,280 But not A true Muslim is not supposed to be racist, but 547 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,040 racism is alive. You see someone looking shady, 548 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,520 coming from a totally different range, No importance. 549 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,640 Another guy is coming and he's looking smart at Salaam Alaikum. 550 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,840 My brother, we are Muslim. What Muslim you talking about? 551 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:42,800 Which Islam? Islam would have started with 552 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,120 the other guy, right? You should have been fair with 553 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:46,040 everyone. Come on. 554 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,440 May Allah Subhanahu, Attallah forgive us. 555 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,160 This is the Dean of Allah. And I say this as an ambassador 556 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,480 of Abdullah Aid as well, that when we go out and help, we've 557 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,120 been to Far East Asia, we've been to Africa, we've been to 558 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,240 the Middle East, and we've been wherever is needed, including in 559 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:05,080 this country when it was needed. May Allah Almighty grant us 560 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:09,200 cease. May Allah Almighty, except from 561 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:14,720 us, my brothers and sisters, imagine if we have to say 562 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,760 submitting our apana to Allah Subhanahu at Allah, don't you 563 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,440 think we will get a very high rank? 564 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,080 What is the meaning of submitting our apana when Allah 565 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,680 has instructed something we say, we have heard and we have 566 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,240 obeyed. We have heard and we have 567 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:29,880 obeyed. Allah says Salah. 568 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,160 You will get up and push yourself. 569 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,720 And for your information, you are not going to be able to 570 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,040 better yourself unless you push yourself because Allah has given 571 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,160 you a capacity. Shaitan keeps wasa wasa, wasa 572 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:43,360 wasa. What's that? 573 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,600 He whispers in your ears, He massages you, He makes you want 574 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,200 to do that. Don't worry Allah, forgive you, 575 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,040 Don't worry Allah. You have to push yourself to 576 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:55,040 protect yourself from Haram and you have to push yourself to do 577 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,120 the right thing without pushing yourself you're not going to get 578 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,000 anywhere. But I want to give you another 579 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,520 piece of good news. See this body of mine, Allah has 580 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:07,280 created it in a way that when you get it used to something, 581 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:09,880 that thing starts happening without an effort. 582 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,640 If you go to the gym for example, you start picking 583 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,400 weights first few days what happens? 584 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,840 A my muscle is paining, a this is stretching or you know, I 585 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:23,080 lifted 20 KGS what? What keep going every other day 586 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,080 regularly, regularly and what would happen? 587 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:30,040 You would be a solid person, but it was the fact that you pushed 588 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,840 yourself to go. You become addicted to it such 589 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,960 that you cannot let go. But there was a time when you 590 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,800 couldn't even start. That's why they say do Salah 591 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:42,200 with Jamaah 40 days, see with the Kabir with when the imam 592 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,920 says Allahu Akbar, you should be there standing 40 days. 593 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:48,000 If you haven't missed anything. A lot of the people say Allah 594 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,960 will help you to become so regular that when you're not 595 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:52,880 there you feel like something happened that's wrong. 596 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,120 Force yourself to get up for Salat al Fajr. 597 00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,160 When you've done it for a few months, you know what will 598 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,640 happen. You set your alarm, you'll get 599 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,920 up two minutes before the alarm and switch the alarm off. 600 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,080 Ask the people who do it. They will tell you Allah, here 601 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,600 you are telling the truth. It's Allah, He made your body. 602 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,360 Allah says initially, I want to see, are you coming? 603 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,040 When you come to me, I will come to you faster than you. 604 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,520 Hadith, Hadith. When Attorney Yamshi ate to 605 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,920 Harwala, whoever comes to me walking, I will rush towards 606 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:23,280 him. But did you come walking? 607 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,040 That's the question. Did you come walking? 608 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:31,040 Don't lose yourself. We have the most beautiful game. 609 00:34:31,199 --> 00:34:33,280 We have an amazing ummah there is. 610 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,600 There is life in the ummah, there is. 611 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:37,719 Its not all doom and gloom. There is. 612 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:39,760 Look at us seated here in Gloucester. 613 00:34:40,159 --> 00:34:42,760 I did not expect this Masjid to be full. 614 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,679 I in my mind, I thought to myself, Subhanallah will go and 615 00:34:45,679 --> 00:34:48,480 meet a few brothers. I didn't even know there was an 616 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,719 accident on the way. We were delayed a little bit. 617 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,040 I messaged one brother. I told him, brother, we are only 618 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:54,880 going to arrive after Salatul Maghrib. 619 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,760 Perhaps they can fulfill the Maghrib and then we will come 620 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,040 in. It was Allahs plan that there 621 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,920 was a little accident on the road and it delayed us by quite 622 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,640 a bit. Nonetheless, look at the ummah 623 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:09,160 seated here, people from all over, different types of people, 624 00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,600 different faces, Whoever Allah, he, we love each other for the 625 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,720 sake of Allah and Allah alone. Allah alone. 626 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:21,600 If your life does not change tonight, then I don't know what 627 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:25,800 you're going to answer to Allah because this is a Masjid of 628 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:27,920 Allah. We are here reminding each other 629 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,720 just to go back to Allah. Even if its a few inches, make 630 00:35:30,720 --> 00:35:33,360 one move tonight, one move. Allah will help you to make 10 631 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,320 other correct moves. If you don't make that one move, 632 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,480 what's the point? Learn to have good friends. 633 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,760 I see a lot of youngsters here wherever I'm going. 634 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,880 A lot of young people mashallah sitting near the front as well. 635 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,800 I my advice to you is just to have good friends, very good 636 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:52,080 friends, very very good friends. If you have good friends in 637 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:53,400 Charlotte, do you know what will happen? 638 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,920 You will grow in goodness. When you have bad friends, do 639 00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,960 you know what happens? Allahu Akbar, you become worse 640 00:35:59,960 --> 00:36:03,360 than them sometimes and you don't even realize it. 641 00:36:04,720 --> 00:36:06,320 I always tell parents, you know what? 642 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,640 Just ensure that you have the friends come over at your house 643 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:11,960 rather than go to someones house. 644 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,600 I don't know them. Meet the parents perhaps of the 645 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:16,080 person whom your kids a friend of. 646 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,000 If they're on a decent level etcetera, like you, then you can 647 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:23,040 trust a little bit this way. That way, you know, we have 648 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,680 something known as a sleepover. Have you ever heard that word 649 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,680 sleepover?

Allah is the one who brought me 700 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:48,800 and taught me and gave me. Every instruction that Allah has 701 00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:53,160 ever laid down can only be a brilliant instruction. 702 00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,080 Allah cannot ask you to do something destructive ever, 703 00:38:56,360 --> 00:39:00,240 never. If the prophet Salallahu Salam 704 00:39:00,240 --> 00:39:03,960 told you this is Haram it means it came from Allah and if it 705 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,680 came from Allah and his messenger it means the fact that 706 00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,600 they said its Haram, it is bad. That's what it is. 707 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,200 It's not good, it's something as a believer you should not 708 00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,160 participate in.

I don't need to come here and 713 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,680 read a list of halal and Haram and dos and don'ts. 714 00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:35,000 You already know them, but I'm here to encourage you to say 715 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,760 this is the Dean of Allah. We are fortunate to have it. 716 00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,320 Allah has favoured us by allowing us to say oh Allah 717 00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,880 forgive me, keep seeking the forgiveness of Allah. 718 00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:48,280 Tuba Lehmann wuji dafi Sahi fatih history faran kathira tuba 719 00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:53,960 Some explaining meaning those who explain the Hadid, they say 720 00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:58,760 it is a place in Jannah. A special place in Jannah for 721 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:02,400 those. In whose records there's a lot 722 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,480 of is still far. Oh Allah forgive me, oh Allah 723 00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:09,160 forgive you committed 50 sins but you said is still far 50,000 724 00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:12,400 times. I'm not repeating it because I'm 725 00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,960 doubting Allah. Don't doubt Allah, Allah loves 726 00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,280 you. Allah is happy when you turn to 727 00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,400 him and I explained to you why He's happy. 728 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:24,200 He's happy because you are doing it yourself, your own accord. 729 00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:28,000 He gave you the capacity. He created Angel and Satan and 730 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,120 He created us in the middle. And He told us I will give you 731 00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,760 the capacity. Yes, I've destined and I know 732 00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:37,480 what you will ultimately do, but I have given you a capacity. 733 00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,320 I've shown you the right and the wrong. 734 00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,000 I've told you to walk in the right direction and stay away 735 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,200 from the wrong direction. Let's see what you will do Go 736 00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,200 forth. Stupid example I can give you is 737 00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,400 that of football. If you know the rules of 738 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,360 football, right when the whistle blows and the game starts, 739 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:57,560 imagine someone from a team kicking the ball in the wrong 740 00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,160 direction. What will happen? 741 00:41:00,240 --> 00:41:01,920 That's what we are doing in our whole life. 742 00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,040 The whistle was blown, we supposed to kick the ball 743 00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,000 towards Jinnah, we kicking in towards Jahannah. 744 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,280 Exactly. So as much as you think it is 745 00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,960 silly for a footballer to be trying to kick the ball to court 746 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:18,080 to to score an own goal, that's what we're doing in real life. 747 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,840 We're scoring our own goals every day because you want to go 748 00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,120 to Jannah, but you heading the other direction. 749 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:25,880 May Allah not do it to me and not to you. 750 00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:30,400 So This is why when Allah tells you what to do, what not to do, 751 00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:36,160 if you fall, what will make you seek forgiveness? 752 00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,440 Nothing besides your connection with Allah. 753 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:46,920 So Allah says, oh, I'm so happy that the, the, the angels had 754 00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:51,280 said when Allah was creating Adam Alayhi Salaam, the angels 755 00:41:55,440 --> 00:42:01,280 said, why are you creating someone on earth like this who 756 00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:06,200 is going to, you know, cause corruption and chaos and kill, 757 00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:11,120 spill blood on earth? Allah says, I know something you 758 00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:12,480 don't know. I know what I'm doing. 759 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:13,880 I know better than you. That's Allah. 760 00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:18,760 What was it that Allah knew? Allah knows that in sun when he 761 00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:23,760 falters, he will regret it and go back to Allah and say, oh 762 00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:28,520 Allah, forgive me. Now as we grow older, I want to 763 00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,400 give you very good news, very, very good news. 764 00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:35,480 As we grow older, we start looking back and we regret what 765 00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:37,480 we did when we were younger because why? 766 00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:41,760 Now I'm older, I realize I am going to go back to Allah. 767 00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,680 Subhanahu at Allah. But I did a lot of things in my 768 00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:46,120 point. I was young and energetic. 769 00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:49,320 I there were times when I even forgot about Allah. 770 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:53,760 It happens to a lot of people. You know what Allah says, Allah 771 00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:58,320 Almighty says as He grants you age, He grants you forgiveness. 772 00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:02,920 As He makes you older, He gives you a bigger opportunity to turn 773 00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:04,960 to him. When you turn to him, he wipes 774 00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:09,720 out every single thing that you've ever done in your past 775 00:43:09,720 --> 00:43:13,800 completely and totally. And then Shaitaan comes and say, 776 00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:17,160 no, you're not forgiven, you're not forgiven. 777 00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:23,640 So Allah says he be careful, do not ever despair or doubt the 778 00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:25,120 mercy of Allah. No way. 779 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,320 If you're doing that, you're falling into the trap of 780 00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:30,040 shaitan. So anytime Shaitan makes you 781 00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:33,960 think that perhaps Allah did not forgive me, kick him out and say 782 00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:37,800 no, Allah forgave me. And Allah says I'll treat you 783 00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,080 the way you think of me. You think I forgive you, forgive 784 00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,320 me. Hadith. 785 00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:47,040 May Allah Almighty bless us all, may Allah grant us the goodness 786 00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:50,440 of this world and the next and truly may Allah subhanahu at 787 00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,800 Allah help us to help one another. 788 00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,200 We are an Ummah today. We are bleeding. 789 00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:59,360 Its true we are, but at the same time there are so many people 790 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:03,320 standing up and doing things to try and help the Ummah. 791 00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:07,680 We might not be able to solve every pro problem, but at least 792 00:44:07,720 --> 00:44:12,200 amongst us we will try our best to show that there is no problem 793 00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:16,840 new one created in our midst.

If you want to do it step by 803 00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,720 step, do it step by step. Inshallah, head in the right 804 00:44:51,720 --> 00:44:53,600 direction. You want to do it all at once, 805 00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:57,120 do it all at once and Allah Almighty will really help you. 806 00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:01,160 When you come towards Allah, you get a contentment. 807 00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:06,120 And one of the signs that you are truly getting towards Allah 808 00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:10,440 is when you go easy on other human beings. 809 00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,520 Treat them respectfully. It's a sign that you are pious 810 00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,640 or you are getting there. Treat others where you see 811 00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:18,520 someone. Salaam alaik, my brother, how 812 00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:20,160 are you? Everything good, Hamdullah? 813 00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,560 I won't harm you.
