[24:25]all know I was recently blessed to on this amazing and Z

[24:29]Trip with amazing people and it was really fun alhamdulillah I was

[24:35]with some very great people new people that I met and it

[24:38]was just amazing to me and my favorite part uh of whole

[24:43]of this whole trip was the part um of the what is

[24:47]it called the omra part that was my favorite trip uh thing

[24:50]part of it that was my favorite part of it um as

[24:55]soon as I saw the Kaa I just felt all these emotions

[24:56]around me and like I felt spiritually connected to myself W I

[25:00]forgot everything behind me it's something beautiful and the Zar was nice

[25:04]alhamdulillah we went and we saw all of the imams we visited

[25:09]them alhamdulillah we did all our Dua we did all the it

[25:13]was really nice alhamdulillah and I met a lot of new people

[25:17]it was really nice shout out say and everybody uh thank you

[25:26]alhamdulillah Salam alaykum everybody how are you so this was a very

[25:36]beautiful trip of the omon zata trip it was me my dad

[25:40]and some of my folks from Mecca it was very very beautiful

[25:43]the places that we travel to is Saudi Arabia Iraq and Iran

[25:49]very very beautiful I think my favorite part was visiting the Caba

[25:52]um it was a very beautiful site you know I got to

[25:56]touch the cabba I had to do tawa around the Caba AB

[25:58]I got to pray in front of the Caba um I think

[26:02]my uh most favorite part about the trip was visiting the shrine

[26:05]of Imam Hussein um they say if you stand underneath the Dome

[26:10]and you make your wishes um Allah will make them happen so

[26:12]I prayed for everyone here um I'm usually not really a big

[26:18]traveler but this trip changed my mind um I do encourage uh

[26:21]some of you kid some of you kids over here that are

[26:25]my age and younger to go on this trip it was very

[26:27]very beautiful you know I'm not really like I said I'm not

[26:31]really a big traveler but alhamdulillah it was very very beautiful um

[26:35]when I first walked into the shrine of IMA it was like

[26:40]a kingdom and then when I saw all the Shia muslims praying

[26:42]it was it was very wonderful it was very heartwarming touching all

[26:46]the graves and praying and you know I've never thought I'll be

[26:51]able to go to the Middle East the last time I went

[26:52]to the Middle East was in Lebanon when I was 3 years

[26:55]old but I don't even remember it so now I could tell

[26:57]everybody I went to the Middle East now I can tell everybody

[27:00]I touched the Caba now I can tell everybody I visited the

[27:02]imams alhamdulillah it was a it was a very beautiful trip and

[27:08]I encourage everybody to go alhamdulillah alaykum everyone so as you guys

[27:22]heard alhamdulillah we were blessed to go on the and z and

[27:26]alhamdulillah I've been before on both the and Z but this time

[27:29]felt more special because I got to go with people I know

[27:34]and I had already had bonds with them but this strengthened the

[27:37]bonds and it created like a sense of Brotherhood so it was

[27:42]really nice and my favorite part was also the Kaa because you

[27:46]go and there's so many people walking around the Kaa and it

[27:52]never stops and and when you pray in front of the Kaa

[27:54]it's so nice because everyone from the whole world is praying towards

[27:57]the and you get to go and stand in front of it

[28:01]so it feels much greater so alhamdulillah so that's itam so I

[28:12]guess they left the best for last so alikum everyone for anyone

[28:17]who doesn't know me my name is m ham I was also

[28:18]on the trip I was lucky to go on all three parts

[28:22]of the trip and I've never done any the AO before so

[28:25]it was like surprise after surprise after surprise after surprise a lot

[28:31]more surprises and the trip was like was a very big roller

[28:34]coaster cuz like I got sick like the second day on the

[28:39]trip and I stayed sick the entire time and there was like

[28:41]I think in nef in NE like there was this like 10minute

[28:47]period where my hotel room was like a hospital room but everything

[28:51]got better and I think the best part of the Z was

[28:57]um going each maam each m at like 2: a.m.

[29:00]3:00 a.m.

[28:59]4:00 a.m.

[29:00]and like everything's empty and you just get to go up you

[29:04]can touch whatever you want you can do whatever Dua like no

[29:07]one's no one's telling you y ya and yeah you just get

[29:11]to relax and see the view and everything and it was really

[29:13]amazing to go with all the mecca people cuz like you know

[29:17]them really well and you got to know them even more well

[29:19]you know you're eating lunch breakfast dinner even your midnight snacks together

[29:24]so yeah I think it was it was an amazing trip Sol

[29:28]a lot anyone else Ali yeah Ali just for the record uh

[29:40]a lot of these guys when I ask him the same question

[29:43]uh will behind the camera they said the best part was the

[29:47]food so they Hade a lot of Lamp Shop especially in Iran

[30:00]trip you know I was able to go to all three alhamdulillah

[30:02]uh being with everybody is a different experience you know most of

[30:06]us have probably those who have been to Zara you might have

[30:11]gone from a from Lebanon Pakistan like some random H where you

[30:15]don't know the people but being on a flight together going there

[30:17]and then standing in front of the Caba looking to your left

[30:21]and right and seeing people that you know anud is a very

[30:23]like blessing experience um I wouldn't trade it for anything in the

[30:26]world you know most of us say where would I want to

[30:29]go on vacation if somebody asked me most people would say Cancun

[30:33]somewhere warm I'd probably say I'd do a whole another zot trip

[30:35]again um my favorite part was being with all the shab with

[30:41]the S was there as well seeing all the faces there and

[30:43]we got to do the Dua together visit the makam together uh

[32:56]Muhammad ald how do I stop this from figure it out how

[33:31]to stop it from moving so alhamdulillah um first of all it

[33:51]is great to be back after being gone for three weeks and

[33:56]as we heard the brothers and sister maram speaking about the experience

[34:01]alhamdulillah it was truly a a blessed experience to be able to

[34:07]visit the perform the visit and all the the graves of all

[34:16]of the that have deceased and of course we went and we

[34:19]went to Sam as well to the home of IM Al so

[34:25]it was truly a blessed experience um every day was memorable probably

[34:32]the most memorable part for me was when I almost got arrested

[34:36]for um reciting Z of that's a story of its own and

[34:46]um alhamdulillah we came out and uh we would do it all

[34:49]over again for the and for brothers uh and sisters we we

[35:00]are beginning the holy month of rajab inshallah probably Saturday will be

[35:08]the first day of this holy month of rajab we have four

[35:12]sacred months four referred to as the Haram months and one of

[35:20]those four is the holy month of rajab and in fact rajab

[35:26]is the beginning of these season of spirituality a lot of people

[35:31]you ask them which season which month is the month of spirituality

[35:34]they'll tell you Shahar Ramadan but in reality Shahar Ramadan is the

[35:40]end of the season Shahar Ramadan is the time that you're supposed

[35:46]to reap the crops but when do you plant the seed when

[35:48]do you get your soul ready when do you get your body

[35:53]physically ready to fast your soul uh spiritually ready to perform Dua

[35:58]you do that during rajab and Shan there's two months that come

[36:04]before the month of Ramadan in rajab you plant the seed in

[36:07]shaan you water that seed in Ramadan you reap the crops you

[36:12]reap the reward a lot of people the month of Ramadan comes

[36:15]and they're not ready they don't know how to have that spirituality

[36:18]with Allah subhah wa ta'ala the answer is because we did not

[36:24]start earlier you start now you develop the habit of of Dua

[36:27]you develop the habit of fasting you develop the habit of having

[36:34]a conversation with Allah subhanahu wa tala inshallah tomorrow during Friday prayer

[36:38]we will talk about the merits of rajab and the reward of

[36:43]fasting in rajab and the reward of the and the duas that

[36:44]are to be recited during the month of rajab another great feature

[36:50]of the month of rajab is that it is a month of

[36:52]connection with the so you connect with God spirit spirituality but you

[37:00]also during the month of Raj there's a lot of reward in

[37:03]the Z of the there's a lot of Islamic dates important Islamic

[37:10]dates the birth of is on the 13th of the of the

[37:17]day the prophet was commissioned to deliver the message of Islam is

[37:22]on the 27th of rajab and then you also have the birth

[37:27]of IM the birth of and several of the IMs of the

[37:33]important days for them are during the month of rajab the first

[37:40]of rajab is the birth of Imam Muhammad Al the fifth IM

[37:44]of so inshallah tonight we will dedicate tonight to learning more about

[37:50]the fifth IM of unfortunately many of us we don't know much

[37:55]about our imams we know about IM Ali we know about IM

[37:58]Hussein we know about but you ask them about IM IM jaad

[38:05]many people don't have much to know this is why we take

[38:12]this opportunity to learn more about the lives of our imams IM

[38:18]Muhammad bakam is known as The Scholar of Al Muhammad now of

[38:21]course all of the imams were Scholars all of the imams were

[38:28]but IM he had he and his son IM ja they had

[38:32]the opportunity to spread the knowledge to disseminate the knowledge we know

[38:38]the imams of the they live through difficult circumstances IM Hussein was

[38:44]killed IM Z he did not have the freedom to go and

[38:50]speak publicly so he started teaching people through Dua through then you

[38:55]have a brief time period where the imams of theit had some

[38:59]relative Freedom not total freedom some relative freedom and this began with

[39:09]IM Muhammad this is why we the followers of the we take

[39:13]90% or 95% of ouram our laws our rulings we take them

[39:21]from these two imams IM Muhammad alak and his son IM ja

[39:24]this is why the in terms of Juris Prudence they call the

[39:31]sh they call them Jai why because it goes to IM ja

[39:39]but before IM jaad it was his father IM who began to

[39:45]disseminate the knowledge and this was a name that gave him means

[39:51]the one who disseminates the one who spreads the knowledge named him

[39:57]he tells one of the companions of he the story of the

[40:06]of IM Hussein we mentioned the story of jabir he was the

[40:08]first visitor of IM Hussein tells jab he tells him oh jab

[40:15]he was seeing IM Hussein as a child he tells him you

[40:18]love him he says yes of course I love him he tells

[40:23]him you're going to see his son Ali who is named named

[40:27]him the adornment of the worshippers and then he tells him and

[40:31]you will also see his grandson Muhammad Bak his name is my

[40:37]name and his title is albak when you see him give him

[40:43]my Salam this is whydah he becomes an old man he used

[40:49]to walk around and saying people thought this man had gone mad

[40:52]he's walking around Medina saying yak yak tell him what's wrong wrong

[40:58]with you why do you keep saying that he says told me

[41:00]that I'm going to see the grandson of Al Hussein he goes

[41:05]to the house of IM Zin and he sees a child he

[41:07]tells him walk in front of me what's your name and then

[41:11]he finds out his Muhammad he tells him your grandfather sent Salam

[41:15]to you so IM replied he said and peace be upon my

[41:23]grandfather and peace be upon you oh Jab imak during his life

[41:29]he had the opportunity to sit in the Masjid of the prophet

[41:35]and educate people and he began to teach people all types of

[41:39]knowledge people from all over the Muslim World they would travel to

[41:43]sit in front of IM and at that time right now for

[41:50]example if you think of Oxford you think of Harvard you think

[41:53]of the top universities people from all over the world they come

[41:57]to these universities to study in these Universities at that time this

[42:02]was the beginning of the Muslim Golden Era where people from all

[42:05]over the world they would travel to the Muslim part of the

[42:08]world to seek knowledge you know the first surgeries the first hospitals

[42:18]the first um Sciences algebra and chemistry and these sciences that today

[42:23]we are so proud of and we benefit and the whole world

[42:26]benefits from they all started during the Muslim Golden Era and the

[42:33]IMs of the IM and IM they had a huge impact on

[42:35]that Muslim Golden Era that Muslim Renaissance of in intellectual Renaissance that

[42:42]was going on and you had not only sh followers of coming

[42:49]and listening to imak No you had all Muslims Sunni people who

[42:52]believed in them as imams or people who didn't and you had

[42:55]others they would come one of the narrators he he says he

[43:11]says I never saw the the scholars they look so small in

[43:18]front of IM when they sit in front of IM these giant

[43:21]Scholars they would be they would feel so small because of the

[43:29]great intellectual power and strength and knowledge of IM he says he

[43:42]says I saw one of this big Scholars his name is he

[43:47]says this man is so he's respected everywhere but he sits like

[43:52]a young child like a student in front of IM this was

[43:56]the knowledge of IM Al bakam and he would sit and educate

[44:04]his companions and educate people one of the companions one of the

[44:09]companions Muhammad Muslim he narrates 30,000 Hadith from IM another companion he

[44:17]narrates 70,000 Hadith from IM alak now the question is what type

[44:25]of knowledge did the IM teach the IM am would teach all

[44:29]types of knowledge some people when they think of a Islamic scholar

[44:31]they say all he talks about is Quran and Hadith and and

[44:38]things pertaining to Islam the imams of the no they were knowledgeable

[44:44]in all aspects he has a book on medicine the golden treaties

[44:52]on medicine IM used to teach geology and Anatomy and physics and

[44:59]these Sciences one of the narrators he says that the Khalifa came

[45:05]all the way from Damascus ald Malik he comes and the governor

[45:14]of Medina ABD was giving him a tour of the mjid of

[45:19]Al the Masjid of the Prophet had gone through an expansion and

[45:22]this was financed by Al ABD Malik so he's coming he's seeing

[45:30]the building and the governor ABD is giving him a tour he

[45:33]says they entered into the mid and they see a class is

[45:37]in session in the Masjid and this is how a Masjid should

[45:39]be some people that have the idea that a Masjid is just

[45:43]a place of prayer yes prayer you pray the five five daily

[45:46]prayers but a Masjid should be a place of knowledge the Masjid

[45:50]should be a place of learning it should be a hub for

[45:52]the community and this is how the imams of the treated it

[45:57]the IM would sit and he had students butd Malik he didn't

[46:01]hear the Quran orith he heard some type of science some type

[46:06]of knowledge that he had never heard of before so he says

[46:12]he asks he tells him what is this that he's teaching so

[46:18]theak he paused they asked him they told him what are you

[46:20]teaching he says he's teaching about geology and the skies and the

[46:38]Sun and theum and the Stars astronomy these are the this is

[46:42]the knowledge of the imams of the another question people ask is

[46:49]where do the imams of the get their knowledge from did the

[46:52]imams of the go and attend a university attend a class like

[46:58]you and I do no we believe that the imams of the

[47:00]they have the knowledge that is divine it is given to them

[47:07]by Allah subhana tala the same way God gave and the prophets

[47:12]who's the one who taught God and Allah subhana wa tala there

[47:18]are certain individuals that Allah taught them Allah educated them in we

[47:24]read there's two types of knowledge there's meaning this is a knowledge

[47:41]from God God places that knowledge in someone's heart and then there's

[47:45]the type of knowledge that we all normal people we go to

[47:48]school we go to university we sit and we learn the prophet

[47:51]and the prophets of Allah they have that knowledge directly from God

[47:55]and the IMs of the they get they get that Knowledge from

[48:01]God through he educated IM Ali he educated him he would whisper

[48:09]in his ears while the Muslims were sleeping would sit for hours

[48:17]private sessions with and would teach him and this is why said

[48:24]about I am the city of knowledge and Ali is the gate

[48:29]to that City this knowledge was passed on to the IMs of

[48:33]the and this is the reason why we follow the imams today

[48:38]some people they say why are you you sh why are you

[48:42]you have to follow these individuals why can't you just follow everyone

[48:45]else like all the other Muslims we tell we follow them because

[48:49]they have the knowledge if someone else had the knowledge we would

[48:54]follow the other person as well you follow the one who has

[48:57]the knowledge and they are the ones who had the knowledge during

[49:03]the time of was there someone after was there someone more knowledgeable

[49:08]than alali from the sah there was no one they all know

[49:10]that they all acknowledge that he didn't say about the other they

[49:17]are the Gate of knowledge he said about and they themselves the

[49:23]sahab they acknowledged that IM Ali was the more knowledgeable he has

[49:28]several statements several times he says if it was not for would

[49:34]have perished they would always go and learn and seek knowledge from

[49:38]they would admit the day Abu Bakr came and the first day

[49:43]he came and he sat on the member he says I am

[49:47]leading you but I am not the best from you he admitted

[49:48]he said I don't have the knowledge the imams of the they

[49:54]during their time they were the most knowledgeable this is why he

[49:58]stood on the m and he said ask me before you lose

[50:04]me because by God I know the paths in the heavens better

[50:07]than the roads on Earth these were the imams of the bit

[50:13]so we believe that the imams of the they had Divine knowledge

[50:18]and IM he has that knowledge and this is what makes them

[50:23]perfect and it was not just knowledge the of the they had

[50:29]all they were great in everything there's an interesting story IM he

[50:33]narrates the story he says I was with my father imak we

[50:40]were performing ta around the Kaa it was during the Hajj season

[50:44]and he said I started doing a Dua and people heard and

[50:48]the governments at that time they had spies that would listen to

[50:54]the Imam and monitor the Imam IM sad he says in his

[50:56]Dua he says all praise is due to God that he made

[51:03]the prophet from us and the imams and the leaders from us

[51:09]at that time the khif Washam ABD Malik hasham IB Abdul Malik

[51:13]the son of Abdul Malik the son of Maran these people they

[51:19]became the leaders of the umah a man like Marwan and his

[51:21]children they became the leaders of the umah hasham ABD his spies

[51:27]they told him that this is what the Imad is saying he

[51:32]orders for Imad and his father IM to go all the way

[51:34]to Damascus so that they could meet the Khalifa and the Khalifa

[51:42]wants to humiliate the Imam so IM IM sad he says I

[51:45]was with my father we went he says we were about to

[51:50]enter on Damascus where the where the Khalifa is in his Palace

[51:53]he said the Khalifa he made us wait out outside he made

[51:57]us wait for hours and trying to humiliate the Imam IM sad

[52:03]he said I looked at the face of my father IM Bak

[52:05]became red he became angry at the way he's being treated by

[52:11]the Khalifa and then he says we entered on the Khalifa and

[52:14]the Khalifa he was sitting with his generals and his heads of

[52:20]the military and they were they were doing archery they were shooting

[52:25]arrows at the at the uh Target he says they were sitting

[52:29]there and they were shooting he says Theif hasham he wanted to

[52:37]humiliate my father and me IM sad he said he tells imak

[52:38]he tells him you shoot arrows as well I have all my

[52:44]generals they're shooting arrows I want you to shoot arrows as well

[52:48]imak he tells him I've become an old man this is not

[52:53]something that I do anymore excuse me from it he tells him

[52:56]no you have to shoot tells him this is not something that

[53:01]I do now excuse me from it he says no you have

[53:06]to do it he says he forced my father he says my

[53:08]father took the took the um the arrow and he placed it

[53:14]in the bow and he shot and it went right on the

[53:17]Target and then he says do another one he says my father

[53:23]took the arrow and he shot it and it went right on

[53:29]the target again a third one a fourth one a fifth one

[53:32]nine times nine times he keeps hitting it right on the target

[53:36]the khif he looks at him he tells him you told me

[53:40]you got old and you don't do this anymore what happened tells

[53:45]him this this Perfection this is passed down in US Allah subhana

[53:50]tala has perfected us can you make someone who God has perfected

[53:54]can you remove remove the Perfection from this person and then he

[54:00]tells him what about your son ja can he do it he

[54:03]says yes my son jaur is also chosen by Allah and he

[54:05]could do it he says IM ja he also did the same

[54:09]thing then he tells him how do you do this the Imam

[54:14]was explaining to him you're trying to humiliate us you're trying to

[54:18]bring us and compare us with others God has chosen us he

[54:23]says how could God chose how could God have chosen you when

[54:26]when the last prophet was imak he tells him yes the last

[54:30]prophet was rol but the knowledge of the Prophet was passed to

[54:36]his and that was alali and then from alali it was passed

[54:39]to IM Hassan to IM Hussein to IM to IM and these

[54:45]are the 12 IMS that spoke about told the Muslims the the

[54:53]calebs after me they are 12 and they are all from qu

[55:00]so IM he proved his knowledge and he would educate people he

[55:09]would spread the knowledge but there was also another feature in the

[55:13]lives of the imams that often times you don't find it with

[55:15]people that have knowledge a lot of times you Fe you see

[55:21]people they have knowledge they end up losing the the manners they

[55:24]end up losing their kindness and compassion to other people and this

[55:29]is what happens when people become knowledgeable they think that other people

[55:33]need them and they start looking down at other people the imams

[55:36]of theit were not like that the imams of the were the

[55:41]true of the um the true knowledgeable people and a true knowledgeable

[55:45]person is someone that does not have pride someone that does not

[55:49]have a ego because when you have pride and when you have

[55:54]ego that goes against the knowledge that you have have today look

[55:59]at the world some countries universities democracies they have some money they

[56:06]have some power and they come and they think they are better

[56:08]than other people right now why is what's going on in Palestine

[56:14]the genocide that's going on why are certain countries treated as second

[56:18]and third tier countries because you have the powerful countries those that

[56:23]have the universities the knowledgeable people The Scholar they look down at

[56:28]other people but that's not real knowledge the imams of the teach

[56:31]us that when you have the knowledge you don't become arrogant you

[56:34]don't become full of Pride and this is how IM through his

[56:41]through their manners IM through his through his even though he was

[56:50]the most knowledgeable most sought after person in the society because everyone

[56:53]wants to seek knowledge they the Imam would spend time sitting with

[56:59]the poor people he would go and work he would go in

[57:01]physical labor work in the field this is something that the Imam

[57:05]teaches us having strong work ethic you go to some countries some

[57:13]of the countries that we just go to there's no work ethic

[57:15]you see five people they're standing and one of them is working

[57:18]and four of them are just watching there's no work ethic they

[57:23]don't want to work IM and the IMs of the all of

[57:31]them they would work he used to dig Wells used to plant

[57:35]trees IM he sits and he works in the field and there's

[57:39]an interesting Hadith this man by the name of mamed he was

[57:47]from the Sufi the sufis they admired IM Z Hussein the father

[57:55]of imak he says when I saw IM IM excuse me IM

[58:01]I never thought that anyone would come and fill the role of

[58:04]imin because of how much he admired IM Z the knowledge and

[58:10]the tawa and the piety and the he says until I saw

[58:15]his son Muhammad alak once I saw Muhammad Al Bak then I

[58:17]realized that he comes and he FS the position of the father

[58:23]but he says one day I saw IM Bak working in the

[58:27]field he has the the um what is it called the shovel

[58:33]and the axe and and he and he is working and he

[58:36]is sweating sweating sweating and it was a very hot day he

[58:39]said I thought to myself I'm going to go and give him

[58:43]advice he is a say from qur he's a leader from qur

[58:48]why is he working running after the dun is this is it

[58:51]appropriate to go and run after the dun right now and work

[58:56]he said I'm going to go and give him advice he says

[58:59]I go to him and I tell him he tells him you

[59:08]are a from you're working exhausting yourself what if you die right

[59:12]now what are you going to say to God you're running after

[59:15]Dunya you're you're working you're exhausting yourself and and and what if

[59:20]you die in this state he says the IM he says he

[59:32]says if I die while I'm working in the field I die

[59:38]while I'm worshiping God the Imam teaches us that you have to

[59:40]have strong work ethic that sometimes there's no shame in working and

[59:48]then he tells him he says I was afraid he says I'm

[59:50]afraid to die while I'm asking other people for money or I'm

[59:55]going to to you or other people or I'm doing something Haram

[59:57]for the sake of money that is that is how I'm afraid

[60:02]to die but dying while working there's nothing wrong with that the

[60:06]man he tells the IM he tells him he says you I

[60:15]wanted to give you advice but you gave me advice look at

[60:18]the Imam this is how the imams of the Alit were when

[60:23]we talk about Islam a lot of people they say oh this

[60:28]is theoretical Islam you can't really practice it you can't really Implement

[60:31]these teachings but the they teach us that no you could Implement

[60:34]Islam in the way that it is through their through their manners

[60:40]there was a man from now B when you read when you

[60:48]read what do we say all of are cursed but there was

[60:56]a good man from Ben his name was they call him he

[60:59]was a companion of the imams one day he comes and he's

[61:05]crying in front of imak he's crying he tells him I'm from

[61:11]this family this cursed family this family that brought so much Injustice

[61:15]to the B how can I be saved and if I'm from

[61:21]this family the IM he tells him you are safe through your

[61:23]actions you fall follow God and you follow the prophet and the

[61:29]and God will save you and then he recited the verse from

[61:34]the Quran whoever follows me ibraim tells his people whoever follows me

[61:39]then this person is from me IM he writes a letter to

[61:45]this man and I will conclude with this he tells him I

[61:53]give you advice my advice for you is to have tawa in

[61:58]Allah what's tawa tawa is to have God on the on your

[62:04]mind at all times whatever you want to do you're happy you're

[62:08]angry you're sad you're getting emotional you're want to make money whatever

[62:13]it is put God ahead of every decision that you make and

[62:16]then he says because it will protect you from harm and it

[62:30]will save you from falling and falling in this dun having going

[62:38]going through a disaster in this duny he says God will protect

[62:48]you through ta what your mind cannot protect you in doing a

[62:51]lot of us we think that through my intellect I could live

[62:55]a perfect life sometimes we miss certain things why because we don't

[62:59]have God Consciousness you have to have the no one's saying don't

[63:03]use your no have the but in addition to the you need

[63:07]to have tawa you need to have fear of God because some

[63:09]people they think through through intellect I could become a billionaire I'll

[63:13]take money from this person steal kill abuse and then through my

[63:17]intellect I'll become the richest person but then you're still not protecting

[63:21]yourself from harm you need that tawa you need that fear of

[63:26]God so he says and Allah will make clear through tawa what

[63:44]your eyes cannot see there are certain things our eyes cannot see

[63:49]we are blinded of certain things but when you have that God

[63:51]Consciousness then you'll be able to see better then you'll be able

[63:55]to make better s more sound decisions in life and then he

[64:03]says through prophet new and the people who were with him in

[64:10]the ark they were saved through tawa not because they were smart

[64:12]and witty because there were other people that were smart but they

[64:19]ended up drowning but it was the tawa that saved and the

[64:22]people that were with him and then he says and prophet and

[64:31]they were th those who were with him they were saved because

[64:35]of tawa not because of how smart or how much money they

[64:38]had tawa was the one that saved them and and through ta

[64:44]the patient ones are those who are successful my dear brothers and

[64:49]sisters we ask Allah to help us prepare for the month of

[64:56]rajab which will be beginning on Saturday inshallah and it is highly

[65:01]highly highly recommended to fast during the month of rajab and shaan

[65:05]and preferably the first day if you couldn't the first day second

[65:08]day the third day at least one or two days or three

[65:12]days if you could do more during the month of rajab and

[65:18]shaan to fast it is highly rewarding and we will talk about

[65:22]the merits of fasting and the tomorrow during the Friday prayer m
