[1:07]wabarakatuh i sincerely welcome you this morning this very cold morning as

[1:19]we have come together to illuminate our hearts and minds with the

[1:26]warmth of knowledge and be warmth of faith through the path of

[1:30]a headed bait peace be upon them my dear brothers and sisters

[1:36]during the past couple of weeks we've commemorated the legacy of an

[1:43]amazing leader in the religion of Islam and for all of humanity

[1:47]this leader is the daughter of the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa lady

[1:54]fatima az-zahra alayhis-salam despite being so young when she departed this world

[2:02]at age 18 can you imagine that yet she left an amazing

[2:09]impact on history do you know in the history of humankind an

[2:17]18 year old who's given us so much vision who's contributed so

[2:24]much who's left and eternal impact an imprint on time at age

[2:32]18 imagine that but she's a leader chosen by Allah subhana WA

[2:36]Ta'ala she's the daughter of God's greatest messenger the holy prophet sallallahu

[2:42]alayhi wa there are many dimensions to learn from the life of

[2:47]lady fatima yes Sarang but today this morning I'd like to discuss

[2:52]with you an amazing powerful speech that she delivered days after the

[2:59]Prophet passed away this speech is historically known as the sermon of

[3:07]Fedak lady fatima he has saddam when she gave this speech she

[3:14]truly revealed to the world her knowledge her eloquence the clarity of

[3:21]her understanding of islam the way she summarizes religion for us it's

[3:31]truly fascinating just to give you a quick background information about this

[3:40]speech and why she gave this speech her mother lady Khadija and

[3:43]Salaam in Mecca she sacrificed a lot for the religion of Islam

[3:46]she was very wealthy the Prophet came under attack there was a

[3:53]boycott to the point where those early Muslims would literally starve to

[3:58]death so lady Khadijah used her wealth to support those early Muslims

[4:03]to support the path of the prophets of Allah Allah hew on

[4:06]him now the Prophet never had the opportunity to financially compensate Khadija

[4:14]so this compensation came where and Medina lady Khadija had already passed

[4:21]away she passed away in Mecca the Rafat migrated to the city

[4:28]of Medina so years seven after the migration this is about three

[4:33]years before the Prophet passed away the Prophet is given a very

[4:37]significant agricultural land called Fedak this was a gift that a Jewish

[4:46]community gave to the Prophet sallallaahu Allah he wanted so he owned

[4:49]it Allah subhana WA Ta'ala revealed to his prophet in Surat Allah

[4:59]verse 27 jibra eel came to the Prophet he told him you

[5:02]know so Allah pay back Khadija your wife for all her services

[5:06]financially she gave so much now you have this piece of property

[5:13]it's very expensive it generates a lot of money through all those

[5:18]crops and fruit trees pay her back so the Prophet as jibra

[5:23]eel how do you want me to pay her back she passed

[5:24]away you know 10 years ago how am I going to pay

[5:30]her back jabrai l told him Jana so Allah God commands you

[5:34]to give this land as a gift to her only surviving child

[5:41]which is Lady Fatima his daughter from Khadija she was the only

[5:46]surviving child that the Prophet had would lady Khadija so give this

[5:50]land a gift to her so the Prophet gifts her the land

[5:57]of Fedak in honor of who her mother lady Khadija see how

[6:00]Islam ours those who sacrifice and see how Islam sent a beautiful

[6:09]message that this lady ten years ago in Mecca she sacrificed maybe

[6:12]you people forgot these new people who were becoming Muslims maybe they

[6:16]were not aware of the sacrifices of this woman but Allah Spano

[6:19]to Allah wanted to make it very clear that her efforts are

[6:25]appreciated so the Prophet gives her this piece of property when the

[6:30]Prophet passes away and there are some who come to power against

[6:37]the will of the prophet sallallaahu annually he had recommended it I'll

[6:40]even have you thought about his son to be the Calif to

[6:45]be the leader after him others come to power what is the

[6:48]first thing they do they realize that this piece property if it's

[6:54]in the hands of the animal bait Imam Ali Allah's Salam lady

[7:01]fatima this will serve as an economic backbone for them for the

[7:04]animal bait they can fund their projects this will give them a

[7:07]stronger position so sometimes when you want to eliminate your opponent what

[7:16]do you do you financially cut them off so the first thing

[7:19]they did when they came to power right after the Prophet had

[7:22]passed away is to confiscate the land of Fedak they confiscated it

[7:29]so lady fatima nice lamb comes to the mosque the Caliph is

[7:33]sitting there abou back there are many many companions the men were

[7:37]sitting in the mosque lady fatima with a group of her women

[7:43]friends he enters the mosque and she delivers an amazing speech and

[7:48]she basically rebuked them for what they've done she tells them you

[7:51]have no right to take this property from the idol bait and

[7:56]if you don't believe that the Prophet gifted me this land okay

[8:00]I am his sole inheritor here fourth piece of property I inherit

[8:06]this land but unfortunately they denied her that right so lady fatima

[8:11]he said i'm she took advantage of this opportunity to give animation

[8:16]that allows us to better understand life the system God to better

[8:22]appreciate the blessings of allah subhana wa ta'ala I've selected just a

[8:27]few passages from this sermon so we can discuss this beautiful morning

[8:33]with you my dear brothers and sisters just to show you how

[8:36]beautiful this sermon is and I highly recommend that you study this

[8:40]sermon every passage in this sermon contains oceans of knowledge that will

[8:47]bring you closer to Allah allow you to better understand the philosophy

[8:53]of life and how to stand up for the truth how to

[8:56]stand up for justice so lady fatima knees salam begins her sermon

[9:05]by praising the mighty god and reminding us of the blessings of

[9:09]allah early in the sermon lady fatima states alhamdulillah he a llama

[9:17]and nam all praise is due to the Almighty God for all

[9:21]the blessings that he's given us then she gives an example of

[9:27]a blessing that sometimes were not aware of wallahu chakra a llama

[9:33]el hen and I am grateful to God for the divine inspirations

[9:40]that he's given me Allah has inspired me to do good my

[9:47]dear brothers and sisters when you look at your daily activity you

[9:51]do a lot of good deeds maybe you do charity your good

[9:54]towards your parents family members spouse you're seeking education you're helping someone

[10:01]these are all good deeds lady fatima nice alam teaches you who

[10:04]inspired you to do these good deeds who gave you that inspiration

[10:11]who gave you that intellect who gave you that inner light to

[10:15]know right from wrong how many times have you thanked God for

[10:19]that every morning when you wake up or every time you do

[10:24]a good deed even if you pay a dollar of charity do

[10:28]you thank Allah for giving you that opportunity and for inspiring you

[10:32]to do that act of charity too often honestly we forget maybe

[10:37]I'll just think of good when I'm praying Lady Fatima is teaching

[10:44]you that's not the only area where you thank to God and

[10:46]you remember God every time you do put the beat remember Allah

[10:49]subhana WA Ta'ala realize he gave you the success to do that

[10:56]good deed be thankful to him while I was Shukur Allah mmm

[11:00]beautiful powerful Arabic words then Lady Fatima may Salam States giman in

[11:08]Asahi Idaho ha now if you try to count the blessings of

[11:15]God can you count them too often we forget how many millions

[11:19]of factors come together so you can have one of God's blessings

[11:27]have we thanked allah subhana wa ta'ala for them I'll give you

[11:31]a simple example here take a look at a simple food dish

[11:37]plate let's say a pizza right when you have that pizza next

[11:40]Friday night I want you to think of the following this pizza

[11:45]what are the ingredients that it has it has dough it has

[11:49]cheese maybe it has olives it has some vegetables do you know

[11:56]how many millions of factors have worked together so you can enjoy

[12:01]this plate think about it take a look at something simple like

[12:05]the tomato like the olive how Allah has created a system where

[12:10]water evaporates from the oceans the winds carry them to faraway lands

[12:19]as the Quran says and then the system of God is set

[12:21]up such that it generates rain fall fresh water and then you've

[12:28]got those farmers cultivating the land preparing there at the land year-round

[12:35]you know how much work it takes to grow just some vegetables

[12:38]do you know how much work it takes for those of us

[12:42]who live in the city we forget about that the religion of

[12:45]Islam considers the act of farming a holy act and Islam has

[12:51]so much praise and respect for farmers maybe we don't you know

[12:55]we sort of them uneducated people but Islam says known they are

[13:00]really producing something in society that farmer who works with his bare

[13:06]hands in the eyes of God can be much higher than the

[13:11]than the broker on Wall Street who's just charging millions of dollars

[13:15]of interest on business transactions not really helping anyone but his own

[13:21]pocket the farmer is helping you it's humble work so imagine those

[13:26]farmers that work so hard to develop the land maintaining the land

[13:32]to grow one single vegetable and then when you look at the

[13:39]wheat how that's planted how that's made into dough and then all

[13:43]of these different factors and then once they packaged it and then

[13:47]the truck driver who came who took that and he transported it

[13:51]somewhere else or the Baker who made that dough do you know

[13:56]how many millions of factors have come together so you can have

[14:00]that plate think about that but usually we're not grateful to Allah

[14:07]span Owatonna lady fatima says if you try your best to count

[14:11]these blessings of god you simply cannot a single plate of food

[14:14]you don't know how much effort has been put into it for

[14:21]you to enjoy or the clothes that you wear or this functioning

[14:24]body that you have my dear brothers and sisters sometimes it's really

[14:29]humbling to do some scientific research about the organs of the body

[14:35]go and study the liver see what the liver does the way

[14:39]the liver keeps you healthy keeps the toxic chemicals out of your

[14:43]body scientists and doctors are saying if we want a device and

[14:52]machine to do that for you to filter what the liver filters

[14:55]the liver does 500 functions can you imagine 500 functions the livers

[15:05]doing for you if you need a device to do that for

[15:12]you it'll be bigger than this hole it's the size of an

[15:15]entire factory to do these 500 operations Allah has put all that

[15:22]in a small liver are you thankful of allah subhanho to anna

[15:25]for them lady fatima says think about this you can never really

[15:28]capture the praise of allah subhanahu wata'ala then she says the following

[15:36]very beautifully she says one had ever home list his eyes that

[15:41]he has shook literally huh then Allah Spano Ta'ala has announced to

[15:46]all humanity do you want me to continue these blessings for you

[15:51]and give you quality life be thankful use these blessings in my

[15:59]obedience in the path of justice in the path of truth and

[16:04]I will increase those blessings on you many times my dear brothers

[16:07]and sisters we lose a blessing because we were not grateful for

[16:15]it we were we did not truly thank Allah by using it

[16:17]properly Allah gives you many gifts many opportunities if I keep abusing

[16:22]that gift that opportunity every single time Allah might take away from

[16:26]me Lady Fatima says you want to hold on to what you

[16:31]have the blessings that you have be thankful to God use it

[16:36]in his path in his obedience that will guarantee that you will

[16:41]keep that blessing now there's one interesting word of warning here this

[16:47]is a beautiful narration from the elevate the hadith states if you

[16:53]see that God is giving you material blessings and those blessings are

[17:00]increasing yet I'm disobeying God I insist on sins the Imam says

[17:10]or the Prophet says take that as a bad sign how so

[17:14]because some people will tell you look I'm defying God I volley

[17:20]I violate the laws of God my money is increasing I go

[17:23]into this Haram business still I see my money is increasing take

[17:29]that as a bad sign sometimes when you get hit with something

[17:34]my dear brothers and sisters it's a good sign believe me I'm

[17:40]doing something wrong and then I'm stuck in a situation I get

[17:43]hit with something that's a good sign that means a last telling

[17:46]you look I care about you I want you to stop what

[17:50]you're doing change your life it's like you see a child going

[17:54]towards the fireplace the child doesn't know what the fire is if

[17:57]you really care about the child you'll stop that child but if

[18:01]there's this vicious person you've given them so many chances so many

[18:08]chances and they keep rejecting and they're going towards that fire sometimes

[18:13]you'll reach a point where like you know what you deal with

[18:16]the consequences of your own actions I'm not going to intervene anymore

[18:19]I've given you too many chances so Lady Fatima Neeson teaches us

[18:27]to think about God's blessings if you want to really keep those

[18:31]blessings then use them in the path of allah subhanho wa taala

[18:34]that will guarantee you so this is the first opening passage in

[18:41]her sermon then she transitions to the second passage in her sermon

[18:48]in this second passage lady fatima lisa donn teaches us about the

[18:54]gift of life by far the greatest gift Allah has given us

[19:02]the gift of life so she says epi tada an Asia lamb

[19:06]in che in Cana Abraha Allah invented everything Allah created everything from

[19:20]nothing think about that who other than God can do that you

[19:24]know science tells us that matter is neither created or destroyed we

[19:27]human beings we don't really create anything we just take matter reshape

[19:35]it that's all we do is there something human beings invented out

[19:38]of nothing tell me what is it we just examine the life

[19:43]around us the resources and we rearrange them that's all what we

[19:48]do but allah subhanaw taala created from nothing think about that you

[19:53]have a creator who invented this creation the intellect tells you you

[19:59]do have a creator an intelligent designer go to that step that

[20:04]second right before the Big Bang where did that appear from Allah

[20:10]subhanAllah de brought that into existence then lady fatima states were and

[20:16]shahe billah tada I am phillotson empty sella when Allah created this

[20:20]universe he did not have another example he was following another precedent

[20:30]okay you know if you have this other creation someone else made

[20:33]let me use that develop it advance it and then I'll make

[20:36]this creation no it was unprecedented who can pull that off my

[20:43]dear brothers and sisters you create something out of nothing and it's

[20:47]perfectly functional it has an amazing delicate system we human beings we

[20:51]copy we observe we copy and then we create something we generate

[20:55]something but allah subhanaw taala created without a prior example and that

[21:01]shows us the knowledge of allah subhanahu wata'ala that lady fatima teaches

[21:09]us that if god created something if he created you as human

[21:17]beings don't think that God needs you I know many people who

[21:21]struggle with Salah many people who struggle with prayer and they think

[21:25]you know why should I stand five times a day and pray

[21:30]the way that Muslims pray God doesn't need my prayer who cares

[21:33]if I pray or not Lady Fatima is alive in this third

[21:39]passage she beautifully explains to us that allah subhana wa ta'ala when

[21:43]he created us he did not need us a lot doesn't need

[21:47]me or my prayers or my acts of worship allah subhana wa

[21:50]ta'ala is generous so he wanted to share that mercy and generosity

[21:56]with his creation that he would create otherwise allah subhana wa ta'ala

[22:02]as the hadith states was then there was nothing Allah doesn't need

[22:06]anything allah subhanaw taala he's knowledge he's power he is life he

[22:12]doesn't need any thing but he wanted to give me an opportunity

[22:17]to taste his mercy he wanted to give me upper opportunity to

[22:28]enjoy the miracle of life that's purely based his generosity that's purely

[22:33]based on his mercy even for those of us who don't understand

[22:36]why we're created I know people who struggle with that why am

[22:40]I created why did God even create me I never signed up

[22:45]for this right haven't you heard that especially people when they go

[22:49]through difficulty like I never signed up for this why did God

[22:54]choose to create me you know sometimes when you don't see what

[22:57]God sees you object but Allah sees what you don't see I'll

[23:03]give you an example with children with kids sometimes you push your

[23:07]children to do something but they don't understand that they don't get

[23:12]it so they're frustrated whether it's taking them to school right any

[23:15]kids initially resist to go to school but you as a parent

[23:20]do you know that this is good for them there is mercy

[23:23]in pushing your child to learn even if the child refuses I

[23:29]never signed up for this waking me up every day at 7

[23:30]a.m.

[23:31]I don't like this you know when my children two years ago

[23:39]when we settled here they'd go before that to school and boom

[23:42]so over there the study hours are a lot shorter there are

[23:47]four hours you know eight to 12 so when they came here

[23:49]and they had to go to school for like seven and a

[23:53]half hours you know 8:00 to 4:00 literally eight hours for them

[23:56]that was a big transition initially for like the first two months

[24:00]they'd complained even the little one you know I tell her what's

[24:04]what's you don't like school you don't like the teachers what's the

[24:07]matter it's like no Baba it just takes too long I never

[24:10]signed up for this this is way too long kids sometimes don't

[24:17]understand why you're asking them to do something so obviously they'll complain

[24:22]but once they get older they come and they kiss your hands

[24:26]in you thank you for being a responsible parent because then they

[24:31]understand why you put them on that path you know Subhan Allah

[24:35]have you seen with some stubborn kids sometimes even if you want

[24:37]to take them out for fun right there in that stubborn mode

[24:43]they don't want to come let's come let's let's go and I'll

[24:46]take you to Disneyland to Disney World no no I don't want

[24:49]to go they don't know what Disneyland is let's say right I

[24:51]don't want to go but you push them no you have to

[24:55]come you don't know how much fun you're going to have but

[24:59]they resist it but then once they go there and they see

[25:01]wow you know this is a beautiful place thank you for bringing

[25:05]me here many of us my dear brothers and sisters we may

[25:08]not have really experienced the miracle of life to truly appreciate it

[25:15]but one day you will hear in this life you will if

[25:20]not here on the day of treatment everyone will thank allah subhana

[25:24]wa ta'ala when you see the grand mercy of God on the

[25:26]day of judgement and as the hadith states all the mercy you

[25:32]find in this world is 1% of God's mercy fewer through Eric

[25:35]theoretically to divide up God's mercy into 100 parts all the mercy

[25:42]that you see in this world the mercy Allah has put in

[25:44]your compassionate hearts the hearts of mothers even animals the compassion that

[25:49]they have towards their offspring all of that is 1% and Allah

[25:53]has kept 99% for when for the day of judgement when you

[25:59]see that on the day of judgement everyone will thank God for

[26:02]creating them for giving them this experience of life and to enjoy

[26:11]the mercy of allah subhanahu wata'ala Allah did not create us to

[26:16]punish us yeah sometimes we cause negative consequences but a lot did

[26:21]not create us to punish us Allah created us for mercy for

[26:24]compassion so lady fatima he said I miss teaching us that Allah

[26:31]doesn't need you he doesn't need your prayer you need to connect

[26:33]yourself to Allah because Allah is the source of all goodness in

[26:40]this if I don't pray if I'm not on his path of

[26:42]obedience it's my loss I've disconnected myself from the source of all

[26:48]goodness in the universe that's my loss it's not the loss of

[26:51]Allah subhana WA Ta'ala so she beautifully walks us through the [Music]

[26:57]beautiful idea that allah subhanho tell her I did not need us

[27:05]he gave us this gift take advantage of this gift of life

[27:07]but Lady Fatima al salam transitions into the second part of her

[27:18]sermon to tell us about the philosophy of faith and also the

[27:22]rituals that we have the religion of islam so lady fatima es

[27:25]salaam tells us vigil allahu liman top Tahir alikoum miniaturk Allah has

[27:34]given you faith monotheism to believe in the one God to purify

[27:39]you from polytheism you know at the time of his land if

[27:45]you go back 14 centuries ago most people on earth were polytheists

[27:48]they were idol worshippers lady fatima says allah has saved you through

[27:54]these great prophets the last of them being the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu

[27:58]aleyhi wa ala allah horrified your intellect and your heart from idol-worshipping

[28:04]because those who submit to an idol those who submit to iraq

[28:09]a stone an object they are polluting their intellect how they're insulting

[28:17]the intellect can you imagine someone who comes to an idol you're

[28:24]stronger than the idol you may die then why worship the idol

[28:31]why worship something you may you can destroy anything but you know

[28:35]most people on earth were like that they were on the path

[28:38]of idolatry lady fatima says allah saved you from that god purified

[28:46]from insulting your intellect and bowing to an object an idol that's

[28:51]an insult to the intellect so Allah gave us faith to really

[28:58]purify our intellect from all these contaminants and you know they're really

[29:03]the reason why Islam really rejected idolatry because someone could say look

[29:08]okay what's the big deal really what is the big deal of

[29:15]somebody worships a stone so what why is the Quran so you

[29:17]know tough in its language against idolatrous idolatry the religion of islam

[29:26]teaches us that idolatry is a form of self worship where you

[29:35]worship your own desires your own whims and you make that into

[29:40]a religion this is very dangerous you know those people who would

[29:45]worship the idols who would come up with the rules like what's

[29:51]right and what's wrong what's acceptable what's not acceptable when you worship

[29:58]an idol you make up your own rules it's a form of

[30:00]self worship because that idols not gonna speak to you and tell

[30:04]you hey you know this is wrong this is right who's going

[30:06]to check and you know enforce that you're abiding by what's right

[30:15]and what's wrong it's a form of self worship they made up

[30:18]their own rules and they attribute them attribute them to the idols

[30:22]it was an easy way out to follow my desires some of

[30:30]you have seen the movie on prophet youssef alehissalaam if you remember

[30:36]that scheme where you know she locked up Yousef in the room

[30:42]and she invited him to immorality suddenly something came to her mind

[30:47]before she wanted to advance further further what did she do remember

[30:51]she took like a sheet a blanket and she covered the idol

[30:53]in her room because there's that there was an idol in her

[30:58]room that they'd worship so she covered his head his face his

[31:00]eyes use of a stir what are you doing why'd you cover

[31:08]him she's like well I'm embarrassed to do what I want to

[31:11]do in front of my idol so I just cover him so

[31:14]you can't see see you make up your own rules when you

[31:19]want your Lord to see you'll have him see when you don't

[31:22]want him you just cover him but it doesn't work like that

[31:27]with Allah Subhan Allah time there's no place that you can go

[31:30]to where Allah is not going to see you so you have

[31:33]told her oh that's the Lord you worship well I'm glad I

[31:35]don't worship that Lord the Lord I worship there's nothing you can

[31:41]put no barrier you can put for you to stop him from

[31:43]seeing he sees everything and he's present everywhere it's a form of

[31:49]self worship and today my dear brothers and I'll be very honest

[31:52]with you we find that amongst especially the younger generation we have

[31:57]the spirit of worship especially when people say yes I recognize that

[32:02]we're spiritual beings I'm spiritual I'd like to be spiritual I have

[32:06]my own spiritual program but I'm not religious I don't want to

[32:11]go by any divine law that's really dangerous when you make up

[32:15]your own rules how do you trust that the rules you're making

[32:22]up are really based on justice and truth and it's not really

[32:26]your desire how can you trust yourself some of those Arab tribes

[32:31]who practiced female infanticide you know they bury their own female daughters

[32:35]alive when you'd ask them why do you do that this is

[32:42]reprehensible this is a crime no no this is good in fact

[32:43]if I don't do it I feel ashamed of having a daughter

[32:47]I feel ashamed because she's nothing but a liability liability she'll grow

[32:52]up and you know they lived in the Arabian Peninsula I was

[32:57]based on tribalism and tribes raiding other tribes so the father always

[33:02]had in the back of his mind that you know anytime my

[33:05]village can be attacked and my daughter will be taken as a

[33:10]slave so she's a shame disgrace I don't want her they really

[33:14]thought this was good but the Quran condemns them for that for

[33:17]killing their daughter alive when you make up your own rules that's

[33:23]what happens your own rules about right and wrong that's what happens

[33:29]so lady fat the man he said that beautifully teaches us how

[33:34]a last panel Tejada purified us from all these beliefs that contaminate

[33:41]the intellect the heart the mind and our belief system then lady

[33:44]fat the maps and I'm transitions into the rituals of Islam why

[33:49]is it that we have these rituals for instance praying Lady Fatima

[33:55]says Allah subhana WA Ta'ala has asked us to pray to cure

[34:00]us from arrogance think about that this is one reason why we

[34:07]pray we human beings we have this natural tendency to be arrogant

[34:12]when you pray pay attention to the symbolism behind the acts of

[34:17]prayer when you bow when you prostrate take that as a lesson

[34:25]in humbleness humble yourself and my dear brothers and sisters lady fatima

[34:29]teaches us that if i'm praying years and I'm still an arrogant

[34:36]person I'm not praying properly prayer is that prayer which makes you

[34:42]humble if after Salah are not humbled with other people in society

[34:46]I'm not praying properly I'm not praying with the proper mindset you

[34:50]know many of you many of us we wonder if my son

[34:57]has accepted right are my deeds accepted Islam tells you how to

[35:00]figure that out you can evaluate your own deeds whether God accepted

[35:05]them or not believe me it's not that mysterious we're on the

[35:08]day of judgment it's a complete surprise and every single day you

[35:12]don't know whether you did God accept it or not no no

[35:15]nice that gives you a way to figure that out every time

[35:17]you do a deed a ritual an act examine the consequences the

[35:25]next step if that ritual helped you become a better person that

[35:30]is an indication Allah accepted that deed and you got rewarded for

[35:36]it but if I pray and then ten minutes later I go

[35:38]back into my habits gossiping causing problems being arrogant hurting other people

[35:45]realize no that prayer was not accepted in fact I made a

[35:51]joke of that out of that prayer we have a verse in

[35:53]the Holy Quran which is really alarming it tells us that sometimes

[36:03]some people through rituals their hearts become hard some people read the

[36:11]Quran but they after reading the Quran they go further away from

[36:16]Allah some people pray after that Salah they go further away from

[36:23]God how by making a joke out of their premium Quran if

[36:26]I read the Quran and the Quran says don't got ten minutes

[36:29]later I'm gossiping I'm mocking the book of God and when you

[36:34]mock the book of allah subhanaw taala allah pushes you further away

[36:38]think about that Allah has given us the Quran as a prescription

[36:43]use that prescription but you know what we do call The Times

[36:49]my dear brothers and sisters you know imagine you go to the

[36:52]doctor the doctor gives you a prescription you take that prescription you

[36:55]take it to your house you kiss it every single day you

[37:01]put it on the shelf you seek the but I can the

[37:02]blessings from it for years and years that's what you do with

[37:07]that piece of paper if the doctor is going to look at

[37:09]you until you are you making a joke out of my profession

[37:13]I gave you that prescription so you go to the pharmacy you

[37:16]take the medication the way I told you not for you to

[37:23]take that description kiss it every day and then just put it

[37:24]on the shelf but that's what we do Allah gave you this

[37:30]prescription use it if I don't use it if I'm reading the

[37:33]Quran and I'm not implementing it sometimes that pushes me further away

[37:38]from allah subhanho wa taala then lady fatima li salam quickly captures

[37:45]the spirit of giving my dear brothers and sisters lady fatima says

[37:50]allah has imposed the religious dues such as the zakat for instance

[37:55]the charity the financial commitments that we have as a way to

[37:59]increase your reserve as a way to increase your sustenance so often

[38:09]we think if we give more the less we'll have lady fatima

[38:12]says it's the exact opposite the more you give in the way

[38:19]of god in the way of charity the more you give the

[38:21]more allah will increase your sustenance that's the law of god it

[38:26]does not change my dear brothers and sisters no one has become

[38:30]poor by giving believe me that does not happen you will not

[38:34]hear of a person because they gave charity they became poor in

[38:40]fact allah subhanaw taala increases your sustenance and when we say sustenance

[38:49]Aslam primarily means quality of life if you want your quality of

[38:54]life to improve get in the way of Allah Allah will give

[39:00]you a better quality of life there are some people who have

[39:02]millions my dear brothers and sisters millions and millions but do they

[39:08]have that quality of life we have miss could misconception when it

[39:13]comes to what poverty is and to what rich is what's richness

[39:21]what's poverty too often we don't know really we think that money

[39:26]gives you that richness money gives you that happiness that's not the

[39:33]case I invite you my dear brothers and sisters today when you

[39:37]go home look up this research it's fascinating it's by Michael Norton

[39:41]he is a professor of business management at Harvard he came up

[39:47]with this fascinating study look it up read it it will change

[39:54]how you will look at life your outlook on life he wanted

[39:57]to see how happy millionaires were so you know what he did

[40:04]he interviewed two million two thousand millionaires I don't know how he

[40:08]found the time to do that honestly but he did it's a

[40:10]fascinating study interviewing two thousand millionaires that said that's a big task

[40:16]so he interviewed them he went to the guy who had three

[40:23]million dollars he told him are you happy with the amount of

[40:26]wealth that you have he's like not really if I had three

[40:33]times more then I'd really be happy he's like okay good he

[40:36]went to the guy who has how much 10 million he asked

[40:42]him the same question are you happy with the wealth that you

[40:46]have he said not really he told him what amount would really

[40:51]make you happy he's like if I had and he's everything of

[40:54]course some would say two or three or four but on average

[40:58]they would say if I had three times more then I'd really

[41:00]be happy he's like okay he went to the guy who has

[41:04]thirty million dollars are you happy no how much do you want

[41:10]to be happy 100 million he went to the guy with a

[41:12]hundred million and then three hundred million and then a billion and

[41:16]then three billion and then ten billion look it up it's a

[41:22]fascinating research he came up with a conclusion that none of these

[41:26]millionaires or billionaires were fully satisfied with the amount of money that

[41:32]they had two thousand millionaires most of them were not happy that

[41:37]shows you my dear brothers and sisters that quantity a number millions

[41:42]of dollars will not make you happy it will not give you

[41:46]a quality of life when you hear of beefs and verses in

[41:51]the Quran that talk about listeth and sustenance it's not just money

[41:54]a lot talking about it's how much you'll really enjoy that money

[42:00]it's how much but I care and blessings that money will bring

[42:02]to your life to your children and your grandchildren till the day

[42:09]of judgement that's reserved we have a hadith from Imam Ali Allah's

[42:12]Salam once a brother came up to he asked me about this

[42:16]hadith so in this hadith Imam I leave Nabil anybody Salam states

[42:20]prolonged exposure to singing and music leads to poverty waka throttle is

[42:27]steamer Al and Lena uracil hadith from Imam Ali Ali Saleh so

[42:35]the person came up to me he's like say do you really

[42:37]believe in this stuff notice how he worded him I told him

[42:42]what do you mean this stuff this is a hadith it's like

[42:44]come on you know that can't really be true I said why

[42:49]he's like them I'm saying you know those who are exposed to

[42:54]the singing music industry or work in it that leads to poverty

[42:58]saying it it's the exact opposite the wealthiest of people in our

[43:03]society are the singers and musicians they're the millionaire's so what is

[43:08]them I'm talking about here I told him see you've misunderstood what

[43:12]the word poverty means in the words of amel and what minion

[43:17]how do you say poverty doesn't mean lack of money that's one

[43:22]small dimension of poverty poverty means lack of quality life that's what

[43:29]poverty means and look at the statistics statistics show in society the

[43:36]highest rates of depression and suicide are amongst two musicians and singers

[43:42]one study in the UK revealed something shocking my dear brothers and

[43:52]sisters look it up official study by the UK they wanted to

[43:55]see how people suffer from depression and suicidal thoughts so they came

[44:01]up with these figures nineteen percent of British citizens then you know

[44:06]the average population in Britain suffers from depression nineteen percent so one

[44:11]out of five which is pretty high similar you know rate that

[44:15]we have here in the US depression is on the rise unfortunately

[44:17]nineteen percent of people in British society suffer from depression then they

[44:24]looked at subgroups they looked at me musicians and singers in the

[44:31]UK do you know what that figure was how many what percentage

[44:35]of singers and musicians in the UK suffer from depression seventy four

[44:43]percent seventy four percent of musicians and singers suffer from depression and

[44:52]they have the highest rates of suicide in society now you understand

[44:56]when a mama Hattie says prolonged exposure in this field has this

[45:01]consequence now we're not judging them I'm not putting them down they

[45:08]may be very difficult but this is just an effect the amount

[45:10]says if you're in that industry you're gonna end up with depression

[45:13]there will not be quality of life you may have fifty million

[45:17]dollars in your account but you're not gonna enjoy it that's an

[45:22]understanding of what sustenance is of what poverty is so Lady Fatima

[45:26]says the more you contribute the more you give from your time

[45:32]from your mind from your nerves or a sob as we say

[45:34]in Arabic towards helping people from your money the more Allah will

[45:41]put barakah in your life and Allah will continue to do unexpected

[45:44]things for you this is the law of Allah Subhanahu WA Ta'ala

[45:47]so my dear brothers and sisters it's really a fascinating sermon I

[45:53]just shared with you the tip of the iceberg many beautiful passages

[45:57]in one passage lady fatima Hani Salaam talks about being good to

[46:02]parents right if you want protection from Allah Subhanahu WA Ta'ala and

[46:08]you want to save yourself from god's wrath be good to your

[46:18]parents be close to your parents oftentimes we see especially amongst the

[46:23]younger generation they really don't know what their parents went through to

[46:28]provide for them to be there for them to care for them

[46:31]lady fatima says think about that remember how good your parents were

[46:36]to you I remember once a teenager came to me the parent

[46:41]her you know the mom had brought her toxic relationship at home

[46:46]to the point where it got physical this girl beat her mom

[46:51]so her mom couldn't take it anymore so she brought her I

[46:55]spoke to her and I realized okay no there was an issue

[47:00]and the core of it is she did not really appreciate what

[47:02]her mother goes through I asked her one question it shook her

[47:08]up it changed her entire outlook one question I told her have

[47:11]you ever stayed up late whatever you know doing work or out

[47:16]somewhere or doing an activity you come back 1:00 2:00 a.m.

[47:19]you're dead tired yeah okay so what I told her okay imagine

[47:25]if you sleep at 2:00 a.m.

[47:28]you're really dead tired 30 minutes later you're in your deep sleep

[47:33]somebody wakes you up how does that feel oh that feels awful

[47:39]I don't want to wake up okay you go back to sleep

[47:41]20 minutes later 30 minutes later again somebody wakes you up at

[47:45]3:00 how would you feel and this were to happen 20 times

[47:51]till 8:00 a.m.

[47:53]what kind of a night would that be for you Oh that'd

[47:56]be a miserable night I couldn't stand it I told her do

[48:02]you know you did this to your mom thousands of times hundreds

[48:06]of times when you're an infant your mother was that tired and

[48:15]every 20 minutes you probably woke her up she was in tears

[48:19]this is something she had just completely forgotten like okay you have

[48:25]trouble with your mom now maybe your mother's doing something wrong I

[48:32]don't know but just don't forget that appreciate where your mother is

[48:37]coming from that in itself sometimes changes your outlook my dear brothers

[48:42]and sisters last month I was I'll conclude with this example last

[48:45]month I was with a group of youth and we talked about

[48:50]you know some frustrations with the parents so one young man shared

[48:53]the following frustration very fascinating it's like one thing that frustrates me

[48:57]about my father is that when we're watching a movie together or

[49:01]a documentary or whatever we're watching TV he doesn't really understand you

[49:11]know the conversations that take place he reads the caption so every

[49:17]few minutes he makes us stop the movie or whatever we're watching

[49:20]the documentary he says rewind rewind at 20 seconds let me read

[49:23]the caption again I didn't quite read it well he's like say

[49:27]it that really frustrates me I told him okay okay I know

[49:30]it's frustrating but I'll ask you this question when you were young

[49:38]what was your favorite cartoon he mentioned a cartoon he didn't he

[49:41]was reluctant like just give me a generic examples like okay Tom

[49:44]and Jerry I told him go back today to your appearance when

[49:50]you were sitting in the living room how many thousands of times

[49:54]you forced your parents to go back and watch the same scene

[49:58]over and over and over and over again you did that for

[50:03]years to your parents now haromm your poor father he's growing older

[50:07]he wants to enjoy seeing the documentary or the film you got

[50:11]frustrated if every three minutes he says stop stop let me reread

[50:17]the caption just remember what you did to him 20 years ago

[50:20]you forced him to watch cartoons thousands of times what did he

[50:25]get angry at you did he really get frustrated no every time

[50:30]he probably embraced you kissed you and smiled in your face don't

[50:34]forget that too often we forget my dear brothers and sisters so

[50:37]Lady Fatima nice and beautifully reminds us in be fed a key

[50:42]sermon as I said this is just a small glimpse Lady Fatima

[50:45]Islam goes into detail about many aspects of our life I encourage

[50:52]all of you to study this valuable sermon you can look it

[50:55]up online on el islam al - islam or you can find

[51:00]this sermon translated and i highly encourage you to study it this

[51:06]is just one small drop of the knowledge of Lady Fatima Hani

[51:10]Salaam that has reached us may Allah Spano - Allah bless you

[51:16]as Allah to protect you and your families and make sure that

[51:19]you take the light of guidance from Lady Fatima is Salam in
