[4:27]muham muham m for the human being is composed of feelings and

[5:39]emotions if you want to define a human being you see that

[5:45]a human being is made up of many emotions and feelings and

[5:48]that is what defines the human being of course these emotions that

[5:57]we have and these feelings that we have they have a primary

[6:02]purpose and the purpose is to help us make better decisions in

[6:07]life for example I have the feeling of fear fear will help

[6:15]protect me in times of danger or for example sometimes I feel

[6:18]a sense of Happiness regarding something then that is something that I

[6:23]will be more likely to make that decision and go forward and

[6:29]go forward and pursue that which which makes me happy of course

[6:34]feelings Allah subhana wa ta'ala has given us feelings which help us

[6:41]make decisions but at the same time Allah subhanahu wa taala has

[6:44]given us the the intellect and the power of reason and it's

[6:48]the job of the and the reason to help navigate our emotions

[6:55]a person who's controlled by their emotions may not always make the

[7:00]right decision a person who's controlled and defined by the feelings that

[7:07]they have may not always make a healthy decision this is why

[7:12]Allah subhah wa ta'ala while he has given us the the emotions

[7:15]and the feelings Allah subhah wa ta'ala at the same time has

[7:23]given us the to navigate these emotions to deal with these emotions

[7:28]and when a person loses control of their emotions when a person

[7:32]does not have full control of their emotions then you see they

[7:39]start making destructive decisions please please can you stop playing with the

[7:44]put those away please so while while we have the emotions we

[7:54]have the and we have to allow the to not take advantage

[7:56]we have to allow the emotions to not take advantage vage and

[8:03]use the and and overcome us and you see sometimes it becomes

[8:07]very dangerous when a person when a community when a group of

[8:11]people they allow their emotions to overcome them Allah subhana describes for

[8:17]example Sometimes some people the emotions of happiness and joy overcome them

[8:22]they're always happy people are suffering people are dying there's a war

[8:26]going on people are displaced they're always happy they're always laughing Allah

[8:31]subhana T describes groups of people that were punished and they were

[8:35]unaware because they're only thinking about their Joy people are suffering the

[8:39]world is collapsing and this person is thinking about what he's going

[8:44]to go out and eat or the football game and only things

[8:47]of Joy Allah talks about this when the reminder of Allah subhana

[9:05]wa tala comes to them they're playing they're they're thinking of their

[9:09]fun they're think they allow the emotions of happiness and fun to

[9:14]overcome them and they are unable to make good decisions and you

[9:18]could find this with individuals and you also find it with communities

[9:21]you find it with groups of people some groups of people they're

[9:26]always thinking of their fun they're always thinking of their happiness not

[9:29]caring about what what's going on about the suffering of others and

[9:33]what's going on another emotion that often times controls people is the

[9:41]emotion of anger Allah subhana wa tala has given us emotions anger

[9:46]sometimes it's useful sometimes with anger you could protect your principles and

[9:51]your values and your family but when anger is taken out of

[9:54]control when it's not Guided by the when it's not Guided by

[10:01]the intellect anger also becomes very danger Dangerous this is why he

[10:10]says be very careful of allowing anger to overcome you because the

[10:18]first is J it's Madness and at the end it's going to

[10:21]be a regret a lot of times people in a state of

[10:25]anger they might do certain things that might lead them to destru

[10:29]destruct themselves destruct their Community destruct their family and ruin that which

[10:35]they have but sometimes anger could be a good thing especially if

[10:40]it's anger and in the way of God in the way of

[10:45]your principles in the way of your values then that is a

[10:50]good thing from amongst the sah of there was a companion who

[10:56]used his anger in a positive way and that was abari AB

[10:58]Ari he came and he saw that the third Khalifa during the

[11:04]time of people were taking advantage of religion and abari he came

[11:08]and he protested and he kept speaking and speaking and speaking until

[11:12]they kicked him out of Medina until the third Khalifa he kicked

[11:17]him out to and abari this great companion of the Prophet one

[11:21]of the earliest Muslims was kicked out and he died in the

[11:26]desert all alone when he was when he was leaving the third

[11:30]Khalifa he said no one is allowed to bid him farewell no

[11:35]one is allowed to come and say goodbye to Abu but Amir

[11:37]and IM Hassan and IM Hussein they came and they stood and

[11:43]they said goodbye to him and each one of them gave him

[11:45]a few words of motivation he tells him you were angry not

[11:58]for sake of worldly benefit not for your own personal gain you

[12:02]became angry for the sake of Allah you revolted and you spoke

[12:05]out for the sake of God and this is what we say

[12:11]aboutus it means you stood for the sake of God and for

[12:17]the sake of the principles so tells him they were worried about

[12:32]their D but you were worried about your religion so anger sometimes

[12:37]it's positive sometimes it's negative but we have to allow our to

[12:41]take control of our emotions and do not allow your emotions to

[12:48]control you another feeling and emotion that many of us have today

[12:53]many people have the feeling of anxiety and the feeling of fear

[12:57]and the feeling of worry and that sense of unsure of what's

[13:05]going to happen you see that a lot of times many people

[13:08]they're controlled by that feeling many people they allow anxiety they allow

[13:13]fear they allow stress to control their lives in fact according to

[13:18]studies it is estimated that an that 31.1% of us adults experience

[13:27]any anxiety disorder at some at some point in their life Liv

[13:32]so today there are some some um many people 31% of Americans

[13:36]they experience this type of anxiety disorder and sometimes having that fear

[13:44]or that anxiety sometimes it could be good and sometimes it could

[13:50]be destructive when it's good it helps you anticipate danger it helps

[13:54]you protect yourself but sometimes when it is out of control it

[13:57]leads people when people have fear that fear leads them to do

[14:02]certain things that are irrational today there are some people they're afraid

[14:07]to do good deeds they're afraid to give sodak they're afraid to

[14:11]practice their faith outside in public because they have this fear and

[14:15]anxiety you see some Muslims in the Masjid they're Muslim and they

[14:22]practice Islam the moment they leave you see they hold a totally

[14:25]different identity because they're ashamed and they're afraid of revealing that identity

[14:29]outside and some people are afraid to pray in public some people

[14:35]they are afraid to practice their hijab some people are afraid to

[14:40]associate anything with the religion you see that this is a irrational

[14:43]fear you see that here fear is controlling their life they're allowing

[14:47]that that feeling of fear to control their life I've had some

[14:54]sisters they come and they say either my father or my husband

[14:56]they force me to not wear the hijab out of fear because

[15:01]they're afraid they come and they tell their wives you don't wear

[15:04]the hijab why this is when they allow fear to control and

[15:08]dictate their lives some people they have a fear of poverty their

[15:14]whole life they're living under the risk of Allah their whole life

[15:17]they've never slept a day hungry Allah has kept sending them the

[15:20]risk but they're afraid of poverty it's a fear that a lot

[15:25]of people have this is why some people they don't give charity

[15:27]they don't help out they don't give donations they don't give Sak

[15:33]why because they're afraid what's going to happen tomorrow and what's going

[15:36]to happen in a year and what's going to happen in in

[15:37]10 years and in 5 years the same Lord that has been

[15:41]giving you today and gave you yesterday and gave you last year

[15:43]and the year before that is going to continue to give you

[15:48]so you see this is a type of irrational fear when emotions

[15:53]overcome people the Quran gives us examples and this is something that

[15:59]is very common until today until today you see many people that

[16:02]abort their children in the past they used to have children the

[16:06]moment they find out the gender of the child after the child

[16:10]was born they would come and they would bury that child alive

[16:21]the they used to come and bury a child because of fear

[16:28]of poverty Allah subhah wa tala says don't come and kill your

[16:38]children or be afraid of having a child out of fear of

[16:40]poverty we will give you and we will give them today in

[16:46]the United States how many abortions take place how many people are

[16:50]afraid of having children according to an Institute the good match Institute

[16:56]73% of abortions the reason the reason for the abortion 73% they

[17:03]say because they are afraid they cannot afford having a baby so

[17:08]what is this this is a fear of poverty because of that

[17:11]fear people go and do something that is irrational they come and

[17:17]they carry out irrational decisions another fear that sometimes people have this

[17:23]is when emotions overcome people is the fear of enemies today people

[17:28]are afraid of their enemies yes we all have enemies and sometimes

[17:32]fear is where it's supposed to be it's there to protect you

[17:37]Allah subhana has given it to you but sometimes this fear becomes

[17:40]irrational and people they let go of their identity they let go

[17:45]of their honor and they let go of their dignity because their

[17:49]life is defined by fear however in the Quran Allah subh describes

[17:54]that a mmin a Believer is one that should not be afraid

[17:59]yes there are certain things that I should be afraid for there

[18:02]are certain things sometimes it's rational to make decisions that preserve and

[18:07]protect my life but we should not have irrational fear some people

[18:12]they make erratic decisions and they're controlled by fear but Allah subhana

[18:17]wa tala describes the in the Quran Their Fear does not control

[18:25]them [Music] [Music] Allah describes the Believers when they come and they

[18:36]tell them there are others plotting against you the whole world is

[18:39]plotting and working against you what do the M do they say

[18:46]they say I have God defending me if Allah subhanahu wa taala

[18:53]is defending me I turn to Allah I allow God to be

[18:57]my Defender and what happens when a person does that says in

[19:00]the Quran they will be in a from Allah subhah wa tala

[19:10]and they will not be harmed Allah subhanahu wa taala will protect

[19:17]them and they follow the satisfaction they receive the satisfaction of Allah

[19:22]which is the greatest that a person could have in their life

[19:27]who cares about living an extra year or having D and having

[19:30]power when you are getting the satisfaction of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

[19:35]and then Allah describes how where that fear comes from where does

[19:39]that fear that a lot of people have where does it come

[19:52]from Shan instills fear Shan instills doubt in the hearts of those

[20:01]who follow him but those who obey God and those who follow

[20:03]Allah they don't have fear of dun they have fear of disobeying

[20:09]Allah subhana wa tala they have fear of doing that which will

[20:11]bring the Wrath and the punishment from Allah subhah wa ta'ala in

[20:15]their lives otherwise they're not afraid and they do not allow Shan

[20:22]to come and place that fear in their hearts so you see

[20:24]this is where emotions come into play emotions Allah subhana wa tala

[20:28]has given them to us the emotion of Happiness the emotion of

[20:33]anxiety the emotion of fear these are necessary sometimes they're good when

[20:38]they're within when they are Guided by the intellect but when they're

[20:42]out of control they make a person be erratic and do irrational

[20:45]decisions in their life that end up destructing their life and destructing

[20:49]the lives of others around them we ask Allah subhana wa ta'ala

[20:56]to strengthen our emotions and to make us be from those who

[21:00]allow our emotions to bring us positively to Allah subhah wa tala

[21:04]and not away from allahham muh ald aldam muham Muhammad Ali Muhammad

[22:48]Al Muhammad Ali Ali Muhammad Hass as we are talking about emotions

[23:14]and feelings and how emotions and feelings are a part of every

[23:18]human being no one could escape from their emotions it's a part

[23:22]of your identity but a mmin a Believer is the one who

[23:26]allows the positive dimension of their emotions stand out and shine and

[23:35]a person who does not have very strong faith in Allah they

[23:39]allow fear and they allow stress and they allow anxiety to dictate

[23:42]their lives and when Allah describes a m Allah subhanahu wa taala

[23:47]in the Quran and in theith of the prophet and the imams

[23:53]of the describe one of the qualities of a m is the

[23:55]quality of bravery and bravery comes from strength Inner Strength where a

[24:03]m should not be afraid a m should not be worried a

[24:09]m should not always be in doubt and this is something very

[24:13]important especially in times where you are being tested where your community

[24:17]is being tested where your faith is being tested this is the

[24:20]time to not shake and not waver this is the time to

[24:25]be very strong and do not allow doubts and do not allow

[24:30]anyone to come and make you question your identity and question your

[24:35]beliefs in AI from he says he says a is firmer and

[24:51]stronger than a mountain and then he says e because the because

[24:54]even the mountain the mountain you could trip away from the mountain

[24:58]the mountain Mountain over time you keep tripping away from it you

[25:00]see it becomes flat but a m no one could come and

[25:05]trip away from your faith no one could come and take away

[25:10]from your IM and from your faith and Allah describes in the

[25:12]verse that we [Music] recited when they come and they tell them

[25:25]the whole world is against you be afraid surrender surender but the

[25:34]the believer in these difficult times that's when they Iman shines in

[25:38]these difficult times that's when they show their strength and their resilience

[25:43]and they say if I have god with me then I don't

[25:44]be I'm not worried about anyone else and Allah subhana tala tells

[25:54]us Allah has made us numerous promises in the Quran that a

[25:59]m is not afraid afid of this a is afraid of a

[26:03]is afraid of Allah the of Allah those who are close to

[26:13]God they have no fear in their hearts they are not saddened

[26:18]by what is going on because they have Allah subhana wa tala

[26:21]because they see a very clear Vision in front of them the

[26:38]they receive the Bushra they receive the good news they see their

[26:45]place in jna in this and in the and this is what

[26:46]we say about those who were slain in the way of Allah

[26:50]the Hadith of the imams says that those who were slain in

[26:55]the way of Allah when they fall to the ground you see

[26:58]them falling on the rubble and falling on the dirt but they

[27:01]are actually falling in paradise and they see their place in jenah

[27:08]during this life before the so we and Allah subhana wa tala

[27:17]has promis that those who those who have that Iman they will

[27:20]live with dignity and they will live with honor and they will

[27:23]not have fear whereas those who are questioning their faith and those

[27:28]who are always struggling and those who are on the fence you

[27:31]see that they will live a life of lack of dignity lack

[27:35]of Honor there are certain things that give dignity and honor to

[27:38]a person and there are certain things that take away dignity and

[27:41]honor from a person one of them is is fear fear if

[27:45]someone has too much fear it takes away their dignity it takes

[27:48]away their K it takes away their honor Allah describes B is

[27:53]the Israelites with mam while they were just saved they were just

[27:58]saved from they were traveling they met a group of people who

[28:01]they had to confront them they had to fight them and Musa

[28:05]is with them the prophet of God is with them what do

[28:07]they tell him they told M you and your lord go and

[28:21]fight we're sitting here Allah subhah wa ta'ala describes how they were

[28:29]struck with vill they were struck with humility and lack of dignity

[28:32]and they were lost for 40 years as a result of their

[28:35]actions as a result of their shakiness and their unwillingness unwilling they

[28:41]they were not willing to go and stand with Prophet mam my

[28:46]dear brothers and sisters the Quran gives us these examples because the

[28:50]Muslim um is also falling in exactly the same way today you

[28:58]look at the Muslims over 1.5 1.6 billion Muslims they could be

[29:02]divided into two groups one group that has allowed fear to overcome

[29:07]them anxiety to overcome them where they have been totally Stripped Away

[29:11]of any dignity and any honor where the enemy dictates their life

[29:17]you do this you do that you spend your money here this

[29:19]is what you do this is what and you find others who

[29:24]are not they don't allow fear to control their lives they stand

[29:29]Brave and they resist and they have that strength and Subhan Allah

[29:34]Subhan Allah Subhan Allah you see that wherever they may be those

[29:41]who have those who have dignity they're inspired by the sunnis or

[29:46]sh those who are those who have dignity they are inspired by

[29:52]theit you hear them in their words you hear you hear those

[29:55]who are resisting oppression even from the sunnis when they want to

[29:59]talk about dignity and they refer to Al they refer to IM

[30:04]Hussein they refer to the day of as they refer to the

[30:08]Hadith of and this Hadith I heard it yesterday and you see

[30:12]that people Inspire and they take from the yes because the they're

[30:20]the ones who give us and Inspire us to resist oppression and

[30:24]have that sense of honor and dignity theith of when he was

[30:30]going out to fight the some people they came and they told

[30:36]him oh protect yourself you need to protect yourself you should protect

[30:43]yourself which day I my life is defined in two days which

[30:48]day should I run away from one day has been destined that

[30:55]this is the day I die and there's another day that I'm

[30:58]not going to die if the day that I'm not going to

[31:02]die no one could come and take my life on that day

[31:03]that's the day that Allah has not written for me to die

[31:06]no one could come and take my life on that day and

[31:10]the day that I'm going to die even if the whole world

[31:11]tries to protect me no one's going to be able to protect

[31:16]me so you see the they Inspire us to have that sense

[31:23]of dignity when all of the Arabs of qur they fought and

[31:25]they waged a war against him before Islam in the battles with

[31:31]and then in the battles after 30 years later they waged another

[31:34]series of Wars against him he says if all of the Arabs

[31:45]they gathered to fight me I would not turn back I would

[31:48]not turn run away you look at IM Hussein you see that

[31:54]sense of Bravery that sense of strength that sense of honor and

[31:58]K and dignity he says the enemy has given me two choices

[32:10]either live with the grace either be humiliated and taken my honor

[32:17]away from me or face the thorns and face the swords and

[32:20]then he says I shall never take the path of humility I

[32:26]shall never take the path of lack of honor and you see

[32:28]that this was passed on from the IMs of the to their

[32:33]sons and to the sh look at ALB on the day of

[32:38]he says we are not going to be afraid whether we go

[32:46]to death or death comes to us look at says I'm not

[33:09]going to allow fear to dictate my life I'm not going to

[33:14]allow my emotions to come and control and take me away from

[33:18]doing that which is the right thing to do my dear brothers

[33:24]and sisters every human being is entitled to live a life of

[33:27]dignity every human being is entitled to live with honor this is

[33:29]the way God created the human being no person no single person

[33:35]has the right to come and take away the dignity and Karam

[33:38]from a human being and the moment a person does that they

[33:43]try to take away the dignity and K from people that is

[33:47]the one who is terrorizing and today we see this going on

[33:51]in gazah and we see it going on in Palestine how many

[33:55]hospitals have been bombed how many innocent people have been killed how

[33:59]many people have been burned alive we saw an image just a

[34:02]few days ago a man he's he has IV drip he's attached

[34:06]to it a young man attached to an IV drip and he

[34:11]was burned alive is this not a holocaust they talk about the

[34:13]Holocaust this is the Holocaust and who's carrying out this Holocaust it's

[34:17]being carried out by Israel the Zionist and supported by America and

[34:22]there are no red lines for them they're killing anyone in their

[34:27]way they kept saying they using human Shields and then they would

[34:31]bomb hospitals and they would bomb buildings and then they see that

[34:34]their enemies are facing them in the front line they're not using

[34:36]human Shields they're right in front of you but you just use

[34:41]that argument to go and kill extra people to go and kill

[34:44]more people and take over and occupy illegally occupy land of others

[34:48]my dear brothers and sisters today these people what are they supposed

[34:51]to do a person who his family has been killed has he

[34:56]is living in a open the largest open air prison they have

[34:59]no rights they have nothing given to them what are they supposed

[35:03]to do the only option that they have is to resist and

[35:05]stand against the oppression and the and the Injustice that is going

[35:09]on sooner or later this suffering is going to end and the

[35:15]whole world is going to know who was the one supporting the

[35:17]oppressor who was the one who was bombing innocent people and who

[35:22]were the oppressed and who are those who are standing against oppression

[35:25]things are going to become clear people are not going to remain

[35:28]in the dark forever eventually people are going to read the history

[35:31]books and they're going to see a reality for what it is

[35:35]we ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to to give Aid and rescue

[35:42]those who have been oppressed and those who are suffering and end

[35:47]the suffering wherever it may be in the world and we ask
