[0:01][music] [music] I begin in the name of the Almighty God, the

[0:21]compassionate, the merciful, the one who has created everything in utmost perfection

[0:29]And may the peace and blessings of the almighty God be upon

[0:34]his pure and beloved messenger, the peak of his creation, the symbol

[0:42]of humanity, the holy prophet Muhammed and his immaculate progeny of the

[0:56]B peace be upon them, especially the leader of our time, the

[1:01]awaited savior Ali, may Allah hasten his reappearance and make us all

[1:10]among his sincere and dedicated servants.

[1:13]Respected brothers and sisters, we humans think that if we live a

[1:30]life without any challenges achieving full material comfort, then we will have

[1:39]a wonderful utopian society.

[1:41]If we have no poverty, if we have no struggles, no difficulties,

[1:49]full access to resources, then we will live the best life.

[1:55]Our societies will be the best societies.

[1:58]This is what we think.

[2:00]However, a famous interesting experiment challenges this view and it revealed some

[2:12]very disturbing results.

[2:14]This experiment is known as universe 25 also known as mousetopia.

[2:24]This was conducted between 1950 and 1970.

[2:30]During these two decades, there was a scientist by the name of

[2:39]John Calhoun in Maryland.

[2:39]He worked with the US Institute of Mental Health.

[2:46]He did a series of experiments on mice, on rodents, and he

[2:53]wanted to create a utopia for the rodents to put them in

[2:59]the best society that they can have and see what kind of

[3:01]results would be seen.

[3:05]So he begins the experiment with four male mice and four female

[3:13]mice.

[3:15]And basically what he does with this experiment, he doesn't let the

[3:22]mice work hard for anything.

[3:25]He provides the food, the water.

[3:31]He gives them a very nice nesting place, controlled temperature.

[3:36]Everything was perfect, a utopia.

[3:39]What happened initially?

[3:42]In the beginning, it looked like a utopian, healthy society, an amazing

[3:48]society.

[3:50]The population exploded.

[3:55]These mice were having a blast.

[3:57]They don't need to struggle to get food, to get water.

[4:02]There are no predators, no dangers.

[4:05]Nothing was challenging their survival.

[4:09]Nothing was threatening their survival.

[4:11]So initially the population exploded and they were having a utopian society,

[4:21]a perfect healthy society.

[4:22]So the experiment started with eight mice, but within 18 months, a

[4:31]year and a half, the population exploded to over 2,200 mice because

[4:37]you had these perfect conditions.

[4:40]Guess what happened after that?

[4:43]To the surprise of scientists, just a couple of years later, this

[4:49]society of mice began to break down.

[4:54]The social roles started to break down and they saw some very

[5:01]disturbing behavior.

[5:02]A lot of the male mice, they started having feminine traits.

[5:09]They started to be obsessed with grooming themselves, not fighting at all,

[5:18]just acting very feminine.

[5:20]And a lot of the female mice, they started become to become

[5:26]masculine and aggressive.

[5:28]Their social roles broke down.

[5:32]The mothers started to abandon their babies.

[5:33]A lot of these mice, they became antisocial.

[5:37]Some of them became aggressive.

[5:40]And so soon after that utopia, everything broke down.

[5:48]Basically, you had a community of depressed mice and their survival was

[5:54]threatened.

[5:55]They almost went extinct.

[5:56]Their babies started to die.

[5:58]A lot of them did not even mate to have children.

[6:02]So this was a very interesting experiment done that when you put

[6:11]mice in perfect conditions their society breaks down they can't survive.

[6:18]Now when we look at an experiment like that there are very

[6:24]important conclusions for us for us human beings.

[6:25]Now yes obviously human beings are not mice but we are very

[6:32]similar.

[6:33]You know that more than 90% of the genes of mice are

[6:39]similar to the human being.

[6:40]And that's why when scientists and physicians and doctors they want to

[6:46]test a drug who do they test it on first usually which

[6:52]mammal?

[6:50]The mouse.

[6:52]Because the mouse is very similar to the human being.

[6:57]they try a lot of these drugs, medicines on the mice.

[7:00]If it works with them, that usually is a good indication that

[7:06]this could work on the human being as well.

[7:07]So when we see an experiment like that, we reach a very

[7:15]disturbing conclusion that when human beings are put in perfect conditions, you

[7:21]have unlimited access to whatever you want to resources.

[7:27]You are living a very comfortable life.

[7:31]Usually society begins to break down and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala refers

[7:40]to this in the holy Quran in surahus verse 58 Allah gives

[7:44]us a warning Allah subhana wa ta states how many villages towns

[7:58]cities populations perished and were destroyed because of a lifestyle.

[8:08]What does mean in the Holy Quran?

[8:11]But means arrogance that is caused by luxury.

[8:16]When you have too much comfort, too much luxury, you become arrogant.

[8:24]social roles get upended and society just breaks down.

[8:30]So Allah gives us a warning.

[8:34]Look at all those nations before you because of arrogance that came

[8:41]from luxury.

[8:39]They were destroyed.

[8:43]They fell.

[8:42]They were gone.

[8:52]Look at those villages.

[8:53]You can go and see ruins of past civilizations.

[8:58]They're gone.

[8:59]You can still see the ruins today.

[9:04]What happened to them?

[9:04]Why did they fall?

[9:05]The Roman civilization was one of the most powerful, strongest civilizations on

[9:11]earth.

[9:12]What happened to them?

[9:16]Many historians and scholars have tried to analyze why they fell.

[9:20]Now, a civilization does not fall for one reason.

[9:22]It could be a number of reasons but one primary reason was

[9:29]decadence.

[9:27]Those elites they had so much luxury they became arrogant society started

[9:36]to break down and this accelerated the downfall of the Roman civilization.

[9:40]Today if you go to Italy you go to Rome you can

[9:44]still see their ruins.

[9:46]I mean, you're looking at 2,000 years ago, these structures, who could

[9:53]build that.

[9:54]But this is what accelerated their downfall.

[9:57]And even in our Muslim history, we also have examples like the

[10:01]Abbasid Empire.

[10:02]The Abbassids were very strong militarily.

[10:05]They were among the strongest militaries in the world at the time.

[10:11]They had access to luxury.

[10:14]They had access to a strong economy.

[10:18]But then what happened to the Abbasids when the elites were so

[10:25]obsessed with their corruption, with their desires, with their ego and they

[10:30]engaged in so much injustice that accelerated their downfall.

[10:38]Who would think the Abbasid empire would fall?

[10:40]And that's how empires fall.

[10:46]This interesting mouse experiment demonstrates to us that when we human beings

[10:52]don't put a limitation to our ego, to our desires, when we

[11:00]have so much material comfort around us, what happens to us?

[11:07]We start destroying our own society.

[11:09]And today this describes the state of the world.

[11:14]Look at the US for instance, right?

[11:18]Their president keeps boasting we are the strongest nation on earth, the

[11:23]wealthiest nation on earth, the richest nation on earth.

[11:28]That's true.

[11:29]It is the nation with the most resources, with the strongest economy.

[11:34]But once the elites of any society, they develop that arrogance, they

[11:43]think they're invincible, they start to accelerate the downfall of their own

[11:51]society.

[11:50]We can see this level of arrogance today, brothers and sisters.

[11:54]And if you want to really analyze the crisis of the Epstein

[11:59]files, what is it all about?

[12:01]It's about a group of elite people in the political sphere, in

[12:08]the economic sphere, in the social sphere.

[12:10]Very powerful elite people who have access to whatever their desires want.

[12:18]They thought they would not get away with it and they committed

[12:23]the most heinous crimes.

[12:25]And society is shocked today.

[12:28]These were our leaders.

[12:29]We looked up to them.

[12:32]They were running our society.

[12:34]What happened politically?

[12:34]We voted for them.

[12:38]They run our banks.

[12:38]They run our economy and they committed such vicious crimes without any

[12:44]shame.

[12:44]People are shocked today.

[12:46]But this comes as not a surprise, brothers and sisters.

[12:51]The Quran 14 centuries ago warned us when you have this life

[12:58]of luxury and you leave it unchecked and you don't discipline your

[13:03]nefs and your desires you will destroy your own community.

[13:08]You will destroy the entire world and the world was waking up

[13:12]to that.

[13:13]And when they realized how serious this is to distract people what

[13:18]did they do?

[13:21]They started this war.

[13:20]now as a distraction because now no one's talking about the Epstein

[13:25]files anymore except a few.

[13:26]Whereas just a few weeks ago, everyone was obsessed with it.

[13:31]Everyone was talking about it.

[13:33]People were demanding justice and that threatened them.

[13:37]So how do you escape responsibility?

[13:38]Just start a war somewhere and that's how you evade responsibility.

[13:44]And even look at the title of the operation that they chose.

[13:49]You think this is random, right?

[13:51]Epstein files EP.

[13:53]If you want to search for it, somebody who's raging right now,

[13:56]you go on Google, right?

[13:59]You want to search what's going on with Epstein.

[14:01]What name did they choose for their operation?

[14:04]Epic Fury starts with the same letters.

[14:10]So now when you click EP, the search suggestion will give you

[14:13]something else.

[14:14]Not just Epstein files.

[14:15]it will give you something else to distract you with.

[14:18]And that's their strategy all the time to distract the masses.

[14:24]But this is very important for us respected brothers and sisters because

[14:28]we at a community level on an individual level we have a

[14:36]responsibility when we look at a phenomenon like that.

[14:37]It's a global problem.

[14:40]But this same problem exists in our homes if we don't discipline

[14:44]ourselves.

[14:45]We human beings when we have material comfort and we don't put

[14:52]limitations to our desires that's exactly what happens to us.

[15:00]Our roles break down.

[15:00]We develop disturbing behavior.

[15:02]We become depressed and we ruin our lives.

[15:06]Look at the mental health today of our communities around the world,

[15:11]especially among the younger generation.

[15:15]Many of you parents and grandparents, there is something that baffles you.

[15:21]When you were growing up, you were happier than your children and

[15:25]grandchildren.

[15:26]This is based on official statistics.

[15:28]You had a happier childhood.

[15:32]The rates of depression were less.

[15:35]loneliness and anxiety were less even though you had much less than

[15:45]your children and grandchildren today.

[15:46]This applies to many of you and you're wondering what's going on.

[15:51]My children, my grandchildren, they have 10 times more than what I

[15:58]had when I was growing up.

[15:58]And I was happier.

[16:02]I didn't complain as much.

[16:03]Whereas children these days, it's very difficult to satisfy them.

[16:09]It's very difficult for them to be content.

[16:10]And they're victims.

[16:12]We're not blaming them here.

[16:13]They're victims of the modern society.

[16:15]No matter what you do for them, what you give them, what

[16:21]you buy them, you don't really see that much appreciation.

[16:24]Why?

[16:26]It's because access to material comfort when it doesn't come with proper

[16:32]discipline, it actually becomes a curse on the human being and your

[16:39]life starts breaking down just like these mice.

[16:43]Again, we're not comparing humans to mice.

[16:46]But the human being without the discipline of the nef without piety

[16:50]and tawa is just like an animal.

[16:53]In fact, the Quran says worse than an animal.

[16:59]These people who follow their desires and don't discipline themselves, what happens

[17:05]to them?

[17:06]The Quran says they're like animals.

[17:08]In fact, they're even in a worse state than the animals.

[17:12]At least the animals, they're just doing their job.

[17:15]But the human being can use resources to oppress people to commit

[17:26]injustice to ruin his or her own life.

[17:28]So this is a very important lesson for us that if we

[17:33]have access to material comfort, we need to discipline ourselves.

[17:37]We need to make sure every single day that this access to

[17:45]material comfort is not ruining my life, the life of my family

[17:48]and the life of my society.

[17:49]So what do we do?

[17:53]How do we protect ourselves?

[17:54]Brothers and sisters, number one access to resources, you have more potential

[18:01]to do harm, to harm yourself and to harm those around you.

[18:07]Every single day we need to remind ourselves that Allah subhanahu wa

[18:10]ta'ala is monitoring us and he will hold us accountable remembering the

[18:17]constantly.

[18:19]The prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam he says if you want to

[18:28]achieve the level of those very truthful successful ones pious ones remember

[18:34]death 20 times a day can we do that not in a

[18:41]depressing way in an active positive way that this is my destination

[18:44]am I prepared for that or Oh, am I oppressing others?

[18:49]Is it worth it?

[18:49]Am I oppressing myself?

[18:52]Am I following my desires?

[18:53]Am I doing good with the resources that Allahh has given me?

[18:58]If you remember death 20 times a day, you can keep yourself

[19:02]in check.

[19:03]But there are times, days, and weeks go by and we don't

[19:08]really remember death.

[19:08]That's why it's highly recommended to visit the cemetery.

[19:11]When's the last time we visited the cemetery?

[19:14]Go to the cemetery.

[19:16]Check it out.

[19:17]See a new grave.

[19:18]Look at the dates of birth and the dates of death.

[19:21]You'll see people from all age groups.

[19:26]Have a keen in the house and in the room not, you

[19:32]know, tucked away somewhere in your closet.

[19:35]Do you know that looking at your keen is an act of

[19:39]ibada?

[19:39]Seeing seeing your kan with your eyes is an act of ibada

[19:43]according to our narrations.

[19:43]Why?

[19:44]because they remind you this is your destiny.

[19:48]These people causing all this destruction around the world in any country

[19:52]that you go to if they remember death 20 times a day

[19:57]and they see the kan you think they would do all this

[20:00]but we forget.

[20:01]We think we're invincible.

[20:02]We can get away with it.

[20:03]We're elites.

[20:05]Who can stop us?

[20:08]No one can stop us.

[20:09]That's the mentality that they develop.

[20:11]So the first step is to discipline yourself and monitor yourself.

[20:17]Realize that Allah subhana wa ta'ala is recording everything.

[20:24]Don't think Allah is oblivious.

[20:27]He's recording it.

[20:27]It's just a matter of time.

[20:29]Sometimes you'll see the consequence a day later, sometimes a week later,

[20:34]sometimes a year later, sometimes 30 years later, but you will see

[20:37]the consequence of your actions.

[20:39]So that's the first one.

[20:42]The first step to protect ourselves.

[20:44]The second step and here comes the role of fasting.

[20:46]Brothers and sisters, we need to go through difficulty and sometimes feel

[20:53]what it is to survive, to be in survival mode in order

[20:57]for us to behave.

[20:58]Otherwise, we don't behave.

[21:01]That's why Islam wants you 30 days out of the year to

[21:04]experience hunger.

[21:06]Hunger is good for the navs because when you experience pain and

[21:11]you remind yourself that I'm just a weak creature, who am I?

[21:18]That disciplines you.

[21:17]That does not allow you to break down like we saw in

[21:22]this experiment.

[21:23]When everything is perfect for you, you're living in perfect perfect conditions.

[21:28]you don't experience any problems, any physical, you know, challenges, then your

[21:35]life starts to break down.

[21:37]That's why in the month of Ramadan, don't try to come up

[21:43]with ways to avoid hunger.

[21:43]Wake up at 4:30 and just have a big meal, right?

[21:48]And then throughout the night, snack after snack, meal after meal.

[21:53]The sad reality is some of us we eat more in the

[21:57]month of Ramadan than other months.

[21:59]Come to the masjid.

[22:03]Enjoy the delicious.

[22:03]No doubt about that.

[22:06]But if we are overeing more than other months, we've defeated the

[22:12]purpose of the month of Ramadan.

[22:14]The month of Ramadan wants you to feel some hunger, to go

[22:19]through some difficulty.

[22:19]It's okay.

[22:20]Some of you, you know, you don't like the month of Ramadan.

[22:23]Not you here, but some people don't.

[22:26]I know some a friend who calls it the month of Maran.

[22:31]Yeah.

[22:32]Unfortunately, in Arabic, Maradavan means the month of sickness.

[22:36]Why?

[22:37]Because sometimes people they feel fatigued.

[22:40]You get this migraine.

[22:44]It's just annoying.

[22:43]You want your coffee.

[22:45]Brothers and sisters, it's good for us to go through difficulty.

[22:51]Even if you have a mild migraine, you miss your coffee, you

[22:57]miss whatever lifestyle that you do, this is good for you.

[23:00]That's how you tame the nef.

[23:04]If you let the nef get whatever it wants, that's when life

[23:07]breaks down.

[23:09]So in the month of Ramadan, live with the purpose of this

[23:14]month.

[23:15]Muslims around the world today, they've defeated the purpose of the month

[23:22]of Ramadan.

[23:21]Go to many Muslim countries.

[23:23]I don't need to mention names.

[23:26]Some of those rich countries.

[23:27]You know how many meals they have in the month of Ramadan.

[23:30]In some societies, they have three meals.

[23:34]All huge meals.

[23:37]One is the futur, right?

[23:40]You go to their diwania, you see 17 types of food.

[23:45]this much food and then 3 hours later there's another meal.

[23:48]Maybe someone can help me out.

[23:51]What do they call it?

[23:52]Yeah.

[23:55]What's the We're inventing new meals and this is like two hours

[24:01]afterar.

[24:01]It's not you know many hours later you go to the diwan.

[24:03]They've got this much food more and then there's the and then

[24:10]snacks in between.

[24:10]This is the month of Ramadan.

[24:11]Mashallah.

[24:14]Mashallah.

[24:16]Ramadan.

[24:15]The month of Ramadan is to train you.

[24:21]I know in some families if the mother doesn't cook two, three

[24:24]types of food, the household is upset.

[24:27]That's a shame.

[24:29]That's a shame.

[24:31]Inshah Ramadan your home and what you eat should be more humble

[24:34]than other months because that's the whole purpose of the month of

[24:39]Ramadan.

[24:38]Not to have the poor mothers work more in the kitchen.

[24:43]Okay, if she willingly wants to, that's fine.

[24:46]You know, serving your guests is also recommended, but you just have

[24:50]to strike a balance.

[24:51]The month of Ramadan saves your soul.

[24:57]It saves your mental health because it teaches you discipline.

[25:01]Every body part you need to discipline it.

[25:05]Make sure that it's in Allah's obedience.

[25:08]Make sure it's not doing something immoral from your eyes, from your

[25:12]ears, from your tongue, your body parts.

[25:15]Literally feel every cell in your body is fasting.

[25:16]That's the whole purpose of the month of Ramadan.

[25:18]Otherwise, society collapses.

[25:19]As we saw in the experiment, when you have everything, perfect conditions

[25:26]and whatever you want, you get it instantly, that's when society breaks

[25:31]down.

[25:32]Today, we are living a life of instant gratification.

[25:33]We want things instantly instantly.

[25:35]And we'll pay to get things instantly.

[25:39]Look at the, you know, structure of Amazon, for instance.

[25:44]Prime shipping.

[25:44]When's the fastest you can get a delivery here in the US?

[25:49]sometimes like within three hours you can get a delivery right in

[25:53]three hours here you can you know pay for that prime shipping

[25:56]and get it the same day the other day a brother was

[26:01]telling me he lived in Dubai for a while he says they've

[26:03]got this new thing where in 15 minutes they have to deliver

[26:08]it to you what's it called maybe someone knows in 15 minutes

[26:12]see brothers and sisters on the one hand you may think okay

[26:16]this is all great new services Yeah, but what is the consequence

[26:20]of living a lifestyle like that when we have no patience to

[26:27]wait for anything?

[26:26]If I don't get that item in 4 hours, I have a

[26:30]problem now in my life.

[26:31]I'll be dysfunctional.

[26:33]I'll be angry.

[26:33]And how many times have you been angry when it ships a

[26:37]bit later than expected?

[26:39]Right?

[26:40]We get angry.

[26:43]What happened?

[26:46]Why?

[26:44]What happened to your life right now?

[26:47]We're going to die right now if 3 hours it was delayed.

[26:51]When we live this life of instant grati gratification, that's when everything

[26:56]falls apart and everything breaks down.

[26:59]This is a reality that we are experiencing today respected brothers and

[27:04]sisters.

[27:05]So the month of Ramadan is a month to stop this madness

[27:10]to stop your family structure, your society from collapsing and getting destroyed.

[27:15]Another lesson that we learn from this mouse experiment is that these

[27:23]mice they suffered from overcrowding.

[27:25]Not necessarily physical overcrowding but social overcrowding.

[27:30]Today in our life we also experience social overcrowding.

[27:36]Not physically but on social media.

[27:42]We have no space for ourselves.

[27:43]Today, we live a life of social media.

[27:46]We're obsessed with social media.

[27:51]We're spending hours scrolling through social media.

[27:53]What do people think?

[27:57]The comments, the likes, the new trends.

[27:59]And the biggest disaster is when you hold your phone and you

[28:02]go on Instagram or Tik Tok and you don't have an objective,

[28:04]no purpose.

[28:07]You're just going and scrolling because those algorithms are written to addict

[28:13]you to hook you and then destroy your mental health.

[28:18]That's what they're written to do.

[28:20]So it becomes an obsession.

[28:21]If you use social media, use it but with purpose.

[28:25]You need to know how long are you going to use it

[28:29]and what exactly do you want to see.

[28:30]Know that before you use it.

[28:32]Otherwise you will harm your nefs.

[28:34]you will harm your soul.

[28:37]We need time to isolate from that world.

[28:40]The best thing you can do is go a week without social

[28:44]media.

[28:44]Can you do it?

[28:45]Can you?

[28:47]If you can do it, then you can save your nephs brothers

[28:51]and sisters.

[28:52]If you tell me, "No, no, no, I can't do it." That

[28:54]means I'm in a serious situation here.

[28:58]I need help.

[28:59]So you need to isolate from this social crowding on social media

[29:05]in order to recalibrate.

[29:08]And the month of Ramadan is the best month.

[29:11]Put everything away.

[29:11]Just sit in your room for just two, three hours.

[29:16]Just reflect.

[29:14]Speak to your Lord.

[29:18]Speak to your nephs.

[29:18]Evaluate where you are.

[29:21]Pray to Allah subhanana wa ta'ala.

[29:23]Read a few verses with reflection.

[29:25]We need that privacy in our life from the world and what

[29:32]the world is bombarding you with.

[29:33]So looking at an experiment like that brothers and sisters we have

[29:39]to do something to protect ourselves and we have to put ourselves

[29:43]in difficulty.

[29:45]If the human being does not put himself in difficulty his life

[29:48]or her life will break down.

[29:49]When you live a life that is purposeful from morning to night,

[29:56]you're doing something productive.

[29:57]You may get exhausted.

[29:59]You will get exhausted, but that's actually good for you.

[30:03]If the human being does not get exhausted and you have too

[30:05]much free time, that's when the problems happen.

[30:09]You should never allow for free time in your life.

[30:12]Free time that's aimless.

[30:14]You don't know what you're doing and what you're trying to achieve.

[30:21]Always plan every single hour of the day.

[30:23]So if Allah has put you in material comfort, say alhamdulillah, but

[30:27]now I will challenge myself.

[30:28]I'll put myself in difficulty willingly because if you don't, then your

[30:34]life, the quality of life will go down.

[30:38]And occasionally, brothers and sisters, occasionally give up your comforts.

[30:41]I'm not saying do this every day.

[30:43]occasionally to tame the nefs and to teach your nefs whose boss

[30:49]give up some comforts even with simple things it makes you a

[30:52]stronger human being believe me you have to put yourself in survival

[30:57]mode some sometimes in order for you to save your soul and

[31:00]not break down like this experiment demonstrates to us once a month

[31:05]I'm not telling you do this every night this is just an

[31:08]example you you can be creative once a month sleep on the

[31:13]floor on the No pillow, no mattress, no blanket, just on the

[31:21]carpet.

[31:22]Can you do it?

[31:23]You will not sleep well that night.

[31:25]Sure, you're not used to it.

[31:28]You'll wake up, the next day you're a bit sore, but I

[31:30]guarantee you the next day you wake up, you'll wake up a

[31:34]stronger human being.

[31:35]You'll be stronger.

[31:38]You'll be more focused.

[31:38]Your willpower will be greater.

[31:40]you will be more appreciative to the blessings of Allah subhana tala

[31:45]and no no there are billions of people who sleep like that

[31:49]on earth they don't even have your carpet not even the comfortable

[31:53]carpet that you have they don't even have that challenge yourself give

[32:00]up some comfort that way you can save your nephs brothers and

[32:05]sisters and that's how we can save our families that's how we

[32:10]can save our communities Otherwise, this experiment is a warning to us.

[32:14]Initially, you have access to everything.

[32:16]Things will look okay and then everything will break down.

[32:21]And that's exactly what we're seeing in the world today.

[32:24]So, let's protect ourselves and let's protect our families.

[32:28]Let's be focused.

[32:28]If Allah has given you material comfort, realize this is a responsibility

[32:32]on you right now.

[32:35]If you don't manage it properly, you will lose your nevs.

[32:38]You will lose your family.

[32:40]You will not be able to stay focused.

[32:46]So voluntarily put yourself in difficulty.

[32:47]Once you do so, you will find this willpower and life will

[32:53]have more meaning to you.

[32:54]Life will have more purpose.

[32:55]Allah has created the human being to go through difficulty.

[33:03]We've created the human being in hardship and difficulty.

[33:08]The minute the human being tries to use his technology and money

[33:11]and power to put himself in perfect conditions, that's when your quality

[33:15]of life goes down.

[33:17]That's when your mental health suffers to the point where people get

[33:23]sick like these Epstein criminals, right?

[33:24]They become sick in their mind.

[33:28]They do things just a normal person would never think of doing.

[33:31]That's what happens with unlimited access.

[33:34]They everything they do goes unpunished.

[33:37]The human being becomes a sick animal.

[33:40]The only way to save this human being is by putting yourself

[33:45]in difficulty, disciplining your nephs and realizing that Allah subhana t will

[33:51]hold you accountable.

[33:52]That's how we can save ourselves.

[33:57]And the best time is the month of Ramadan.

[33:58]Now brothers and sisters, these days we are going through difficulties.

[34:05]These are challenging times.

[34:06]And when we think of a utopian society, by the way, a

[34:11]lot of people ask, okay, so if being living in perfect conditions

[34:15]is not good for the human being, then what about the era

[34:20]of reappearance?

[34:21]When our imam reappears, we have been promised there will be no

[34:25]poverty, there will be no crime, everything will look perfect.

[34:28]So how do we make sense of that?

[34:31]Here's what's going to be different.

[34:33]The Immiam when he reappears Allah completes the intellect of humanity.

[34:40]Today humanity is still developing still experimenting trial and error.

[34:47]But during the era of lur Allah subhana t through the imam

[34:53]will complete our intellect.

[34:53]We have hadiths on that.

[34:57]And with a completed intellect then yes you can stay functional and

[35:01]sane even if you have material comfort because now you have a

[35:04]sense of purpose.

[35:06]You will not abuse that immedi will train people around the world

[35:14]not to abuse the blessings that they have.

[35:15]That's what's going to be different and humanity will have learned its

[35:20]lesson when the imam reappears.

[35:21]We have hadiths that state people will beg for Allah to send

[35:24]them a leader because people will say look at the world today.

[35:29]All these fake promises and we're living in a mess.

[35:31]There's so much injustice.

[35:34]People are still arrogant.

[35:37]They think they can figure out everything.

[35:39]These leaders can figure out everything.

[35:43]We can create a good utopian society.

[35:44]before the Imam reappears, humanity will testify and witness that we cannot

[35:49]achieve that.

[35:51]And this will be very important for the Imam to return.

[35:55]It's one of the conditions that people admit they can't figure things

[35:58]out.

[35:59]If you give things to us, we'll just oppress one another.

[36:03]But in these difficult days, brothers and sisters, we must remember that

[36:08]we have an imam.

[36:09]Despite all the injustice that's happening around the world, despite arrogant leaders

[36:16]threatening the world, know that we do have an imam.

[36:22]Don't lose hope.

[36:22]Allah is managing this entire universe.

[36:26]No one can disrupt the system of Allah.

[36:29]If there is some evil in this world, it's because Allah subhanahu

[36:34]wa ta'ala has allowed them to maneuver.

[36:36]Don't think anyone can overpower Allah and the system of Allah subhanahu

[36:42]wa ta'ala.

[36:41]This is a trial.

[36:44]Allah has promised to try us and today we are going through

[36:47]trials around the world.

[36:48]Don't lose your faith in im.

[36:51]Let's be patient.

[36:51]Let's realize that we have an imam.

[36:53]And in these times we have to connect more to the imam

[36:59]of our time.

[36:59]connect to the im through the beautiful duas that we have from.

[37:11]If you feel weak, you feel a loss of hope, just turn

[37:16]to the imam of your time and remember he will restore dignity

[37:21]to the believers.

[37:22]He will restore dignity to the oppressed wherever they are.

[37:38]Where is the one who will humiliate those enemies?

[37:42]Allah has made this promise that this will happen at the hands

[37:46]of the Imam of our time.

[38:00]Where is the one who will finally unite us, gather us on

[38:05]piety and tawa?

[38:07]Where is the door to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala?

[38:09]Call on the Imam of your time these days.

[38:12]Your Imam, he's also going through pain when he sees all this

[38:19]act of injustice.

[38:19]Every innocent person who suffers, the Imisam, he goes through pain because

[38:25]he has that compassionate heart.

[38:52]Oh my imam, it is very heavy on my heart that I

[38:56]can see everyone.

[38:58]I have access to everyone but not you.

[39:01]You're absent physically.

[39:01]You're in you're in occultation.

[39:03]This is heavy on my heart that I cannot see you.

[39:09]Hear your voice.

[39:08]See your blessed face.

[39:26]Oh my imam, it's so heavy on my heart that you go

[39:30]through all difficulties and I don't even remember you.

[39:34]I don't even care.

[39:33]I don't even cry for you during challenging times.

[39:37]Let's hold on to the imam of our time.

[39:41]That's our greatest trial.

[39:41]Our imams have promised us during the if you hold on to

[39:48]your faith, to your to your honesty, to your truthfulness, to your

[39:53]integrity, you are the best people Allah created throughout history because the

[40:03]trials are just so big in our times.

[40:06]So, let's not lose hope.

[40:08]Let's connect to the Imam of our time.

[40:11]We ask Allah subhanana wa ta'ala to hasten the reappearance of our

[40:18]imam.

[40:19]We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to help our brothers and sisters

[40:22]who are struggling around the world.

[40:24]This is the moment of dua.

[40:26]Let's pray for them.

[40:26]Let's pray for those who are ill.

[40:28]They've asked us for dua.

[40:32]This is the moment of dua.

[40:36]Everyone together.

[40:42]Amen.

[40:51]Amen.

[41:04]Amen.

[41:11]Amen.

[41:22]Allah Allah Allah ya Allah Allah Allah Allah Allah Allah Allah Allah

[41:50]for Hussein.
