[0:00]handshake with anyone.

[0:02]Again, we are socially distancing for inshallah whatever may come.

[0:05]Also, these programs run based on the donations that you guys make.

[0:10]So, if you have any questions, any donations, please see me or

[0:15]brother Amin with with salawat.

[0:15]Please help me welcome the [Music] [Music] Ali Muhammad.

[1:19]Alhamdulillah.

[1:21]Respected brothers and sisters, last night we mentioned that the weapon that

[1:50]the shaitan uses to misguide humanity ity is whispers.

[1:54]He inserts his satanic insinuations inside our minds and our thoughts and

[2:05]he con convinces us to disobey Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

[2:09]He convinces us to sin.

[2:14]And this is the only weapon that thean has.

[2:19]He uses chakr.

[2:55]I'm sorry for that distraction.

[2:59]Like I was saying, the we mentioned last night that the weapon

[3:03]the Shayan uses to misguide humanity is whispers.

[3:07]And we said that the shaitan is bold and cunning.

[3:10]He doesn't just use the same method and tactic and strategy to

[3:17]misguide everyone.

[3:17]No, he doesn't have a one-sizefits-all for each one of us.

[3:23]He has a unique custom-designed strategy that works best for me.

[3:28]Because we mentioned what does the shaitan do?

[3:29]The shaitan initially he sits and studies you so that he knows

[3:35]what your weak points are and then he tries to come up

[3:38]with a plan and strategy that can easily exploit your weak spots.

[3:43]Everyone will have different weak spots.

[3:45]Correct?

[3:45]Like I mentioned, some people it's money.

[3:48]They can easily be swayed with money.

[3:50]There are others if you give them millions of dollars you can't

[3:54]sway them you can sway them with other things for example right

[3:58]so the shaitan he searches for those weak spots those weak points

[4:02]and then he devises a strategy that will work against me and

[4:08]there's many weak spots that we have brothers and sisters but there

[4:14]are three common there are three common weak spots that we human

[4:18]beings have and the shaitan focuses on on these weak spots.

[4:21]Almass he speaks about these weak spots that we have.

[4:26]We have to be careful brothers and sisters and not allow the

[4:33]shan to employ and exploit this amongst us.

[4:36]Says he says that there are three factors or three weak spots

[4:44]that we have that may lead to our doom and destruction.

[4:49]The first one I im says arrogance.

[4:52]Arrogance is one of the tactics and methods that thean looks for

[4:58]in order to exploit in order to misguide me.

[5:01]If he finds any arrogance inside me and then the im says

[5:06]what's ironic is the shaitan himself his weak spot was arrogance.

[5:14]his own weak spot that led him to become a devil and

[5:16]a demon was what was arrogance because the shaitan don't look at

[5:21]him as he is now he's a devil he's a demon before

[5:23]Allah created human beings before Allah created Adam the shaitan was a

[5:27]very holy righteous virtuous individual he was so virtuous that Allah subhanahu

[5:33]wa ta'ala he elevated his status and he allowed him to be

[5:38]with the angels now he wasn't an angel he was a jin

[5:41]but he was the only jin out of the millions that Allah

[5:44]has created that reached the level of angels.

[5:47]Allah let him hang around with angels.

[5:49]He would worship all day, all night Allah.

[5:52]So you can see how great and virtuous he was that he

[5:56]was given that status that he can be with the angels all

[6:00]the time.

[5:59]Im Ali says that the shan worshiped Allah for 6,000 years before

[6:07]Adam was created.

[6:07]6,000 years he was in constant state of ibada.

[6:11]So he was very virtuous.

[6:14]But what happened?

[6:14]But all of a sudden Allah created Adam and Allah told the

[6:21]angels and he also instructed Ll.

[6:22]He instructed he instructed the shaitan.

[6:24]He told them to all prostrate the Adam to Adam.

[6:27]It's mentioned in the Quran a couple of times the story.

[6:29]They all prostrated to Adam except the shaitan.

[6:33]He said no.

[6:35]He said I will not prostrate to Adam.

[6:39]So Allah asks him, Allah tells him why did you refrain out

[6:44]of all the angels?

[6:46]You refrained.

[6:48]You said no.

[6:47]They all did the sujud to Adam but you refrained.

[6:51]Why?

[6:51]He gave him the answer.

[6:52]Shan was very honest with Allahh.

[6:57]He didn't make an excuse.

[6:57]He gave him the answer.

[7:01]He told him, "Thean told Allah, I didn't prostrate to Adam because

[7:08]I'm better than him." He exposed himself.

[7:11]He exposed his weak spot, arrogance.

[7:13]I'm better than Adam.

[7:14]Who's this Adam you want me to prostrate to?

[7:16]You created me from fire and you created Adam from clay, from

[7:22]dust, and fire is better than dust.

[7:24]So, because I am better than Adam, I will not prostrate to

[7:27]him.

[7:28]Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala he saw shaitan being arrogant with him.

[7:32]This is something Allah never tolerates.

[7:33]You want to be arrogant with god and you want to talk

[7:37]back and you want to bring excuses for not following Allahhana ta's

[7:41]commandments.

[7:42]So Allah was angered and first of all he was with the

[7:45]angels.

[7:46]Allah stripped him of the status and then he exiled him from

[7:50]paradise.

[7:58]And not only did Allah banish him, but he condemned him.

[8:03]He condemned him till eternity.

[8:04]He told him, "Tell the day of judgment, my curse and my

[8:10]condem condemnation is upon you." And then Allah, he took away all

[8:14]the reward of the 6,000 years of worship that he did.

[8:17]Im Ali says, "See how destructive arrogance is.

[8:22]one hour, one moment that he was arrogant with Allah, Allah took

[8:27]everything away from him.

[8:30]That position that he had, that he was with the angels and

[8:32]6,000 years worth of of worship.

[8:34]Allah erased all of it because he was arrogant with Allah just

[8:39]once.

[8:40]He did not want to follow the commandments of Allah.

[8:41]What?

[8:42]Because of his arrogance.

[8:43]So the weak spot of the Shayan was arrogant.

[8:45]He wasn't a lazy person.

[8:48]He was always praying to Allah subhana wa tala, always glorifying him.

[8:51]But his weak spot was arrogance.

[8:53]And that's why I im Ali says that the worst thing for

[8:56]the shaitan to see is when someone does sujud when someone does

[9:02]sujud this breaks his heart.

[9:03]This is really so difficult for him.

[9:06]Why?

[9:07]Because when he sees you do sjud this reminds him of his

[9:09]what?

[9:10]Of his weakness of the day that he fell from an angel

[9:14]to a demon.

[9:16]Subhan Allah.

[9:15]In a matter of a minute the shaitan fell from being an

[9:20]angel and he turned into a demon.

[9:22]Why?

[9:22]Because he could not do that sujud to Adam.

[9:26]So every time you do sujud to Allah, he is reminded of

[9:27]that terrible day.

[9:29]You know, if you have a real bad day, you don't never

[9:30]want to remember it.

[9:32]If it's the worst day in your life, correct?

[9:35]If there was a day, for example, you got caught doing something

[9:37]or you fired or kicked out of school or whatever, you don't

[9:40]want anyone to remind you of that day, of that shameful day.

[9:44]Every time we do sujud, the shaitan, he starts panicking.

[9:47]He can't handle it because he's reminded of his weak spot that

[9:55]he could not do one short sujud to Adam.

[9:55]So then im Ali says the Imam says that Allah made an

[10:07]example out of the devil out ofl so that no one becomes

[10:08]arrogant after him.

[10:10]Who can think they can get away with arrogance afterl?

[10:12]Look at what Allah did to him.

[10:14]He was an angel.

[10:16]He was brought down to the level of a demon because of

[10:20]his arrogance.

[10:20]So the imam says this is an example.

[10:21]Learn from the example and be careful of arrogance.

[10:26]It is destructive and it could lead you in the same path

[10:28]that it led the shaitan.

[10:32]And that's why brothers and sisters the shaitan when he saw that

[10:39]because of Adam because of his arrogance he became a demon and

[10:43]he lost everything he was filled with animosity and grudge and hatred

[10:47]towards Adam and that's why he swore by the might of Allah

[10:53]ya Allah because of Adam I became a demon I will go

[10:57]after Adam and his children and his progeny and I will misguide

[11:00]all of them.

[11:02]So the shaitan when he comes to misguide the human beings obviously

[11:06]he knows how destructive arrogance is.

[11:08]So he will use arrogance with us.

[11:10]If there is room for arrogance inside my heart he will try

[11:15]to use that arrogance against me because he knows how destructive it

[11:18]is.

[11:19]Look at the time of sallallam.

[11:21]There were many people of Quraysh that didn't believe in him.

[11:25]Why didn't they believe in him?

[11:27]They waged wars against him.

[11:27]People like Abu Jah.

[11:30]Abu Jahal who was the arch nemesis of Allah and he was

[11:32]the one waging the wars and leading the defamation against Allah.

[11:37]Why didn't he believe in the prophet?

[11:40]Was it because he was not convinced that the prophet is a

[11:43]messenger of God?

[11:45]Was it because there was not enough proof?

[11:47]No, there was proof and he himself knew that the prophet was

[11:50]a messenger of God.

[11:52]You know why he didn't believe?

[11:54]Because of his arrogance.

[11:54]He was a very arrogant man.

[11:56]He was a man all about money and wealth and prestige.

[12:01]And the prophet, Prophet Muhammad, he was born an orphan.

[12:06]His father had died when his mother was pregnant and he was

[12:09]raised by a single mother and then his mother died.

[12:12]He was raised by his grandfather, then his uncle and he wasn't

[12:15]wealthy.

[12:15]So based on Abu Jah's standards, he was a nobody.

[12:17]The prophet is a nobody.

[12:20]Abu Jah is wealthy.

[12:20]He's prominent.

[12:22]He's prestigious.

[12:22]Everyone respects him.

[12:25]So when Allah sent Muhammad as his messenger and Abu Jah saw

[12:29]that now he has to submit to this man who was an

[12:31]orphan who's from a lower class based on his standard.

[12:35]He could not believe I cannot submit to someone like that and

[12:38]he himself admitted it.

[12:41]One day his nephew alnas came and he told Abu Jah, "Oh

[12:44]Abu Jah, do you really believe Muhammad is a liar when you

[12:48]come out?" Because they used to call the prophet a liar and

[12:50]then they called him crazy.

[12:51]They used to make up all these names against him.

[12:53]Do you really believe that he's a liar?

[12:56]Abu Jah because it's private.

[12:57]He told him, "No, Muhammad is a messenger.

[13:00]He's a true messenger of God and I know it because I

[13:05]heard the words of God, the Quran.

[13:06]These are not the words of a human being.

[13:09]They're not man-made.

[13:08]This is divine from Allah." So then his nephew told him, "Then

[13:13]why don't you believe?

[13:14]Then why are you waging so many wars?

[13:16]Believe in him." He told him, "I cannot believe." He tells him,

[13:18]"Why?" He says because look Muhammad is from the tribe of whom?

[13:25]Of Beni Hashim.

[13:23]I am from the tribe of Mum.

[13:25]And there is competition between our tribes.

[13:28]How can I submit to someone from a tribe that I see

[13:33]is lower than mine.

[13:34]Every time they would feed the poor, we would feed the poor.

[13:39]They have a warrior.

[13:38]We have a any virtue they have, we would also have a

[13:44]virtue.

[13:44]We would also compete with them in a greater virtue.

[13:46]All of a sudden, a man comes from Beni Hashim and says,

[13:49]"I'm a messenger of God.

[13:50]Where am I going to find a messenger of God in my

[13:53]tribe?

[13:54]I can never follow someone from another tribe, a tribe that I

[13:56]see lower than me." He says, "We were always neck andneck, my

[13:59]tribe and his tribe." Now, he's going to have the upper hand.

[14:03]So, when there's rivalry and I feel like I'm better than someone

[14:08]else, it's difficult for me to submit to that person.

[14:12]So Abu Jahal even though he knew the prophet was a messenger

[14:15]but he could not submit because of his arrogance.

[14:19]You see how arrogance sometimes prevents you from following the truth because

[14:23]you don't want to submit to to this person.

[14:25]You don't want to admit that this person is right and you're

[14:30]wrong.

[14:28]The same man Abu Jah he went one day to Alw he

[14:32]was another one of the enemies of the prophet Alw he heard

[14:37]that the prophet is you know they're calling him crazy and they're

[14:40]making up so many names against him so he decided to go

[14:43]and listen to the Quran when he listened to the Quran brothers

[14:46]and sisters he fell in love with it he knew right away

[14:50]that this can't be man-made unfortunately if you don't understand Arabic you

[14:54]you can't feel the sweetness of the words of God the sweetness

[14:57]of the Quran how beautiful it is.

[14:59]You can, you know, you can understand yourself that this is not

[15:02]man-made when you compare it to any other scripture, any other poem.

[15:08]So, al he fell in love with the Quran.

[15:10]He would go every day and just listen to the Quran.

[15:11]So, Abu Jah, he hears that alw is going to listen to

[15:16]the Quran every day.

[15:15]He quickly goes after him.

[15:18]He tells him, "Ya, you want to follow this orphan?" And that's

[15:21]how they used to speak about the prophet in a condescending way.

[15:25]They used to belittle him.

[15:25]you want to go and submit to the religion of this orphan

[15:27]Muhammad?

[15:28]He says, "No, no, no.

[15:31]I don't." This was a big, you know, accusation.

[15:32]He's I just want to listen to the Quran.

[15:35]So then he tells him, "No, don't listen to the Quran.

[15:39]This is all fake.

[15:41]This is all Muhammad's writing." So Alwi tells him, "No, do not

[15:44]say that." Tells him, he tells him, "I myself, I'm a poet

[15:49]and I am the most eloquent person in Arabia.

[15:50]I know all the poems.

[15:53]I know all the literature.

[15:53]This is not man-made.

[15:56]This is something supernatural.

[15:57]Don't tell me that this is just like any other poem.

[15:59]This is something unique.

[16:01]And that's why brothers and sisters, one way that proves the Quran

[16:05]is a miracle is the fact that the Quran was revealed in

[16:11]the most eloquent way.

[16:11]And then the Quran it what it uh challenged all the Arabs

[16:16]to bring one chapter like it in its eloquence.

[16:17]And remember the Arabs back then in Jah they had all mastered

[16:23]the Arabic language.

[16:22]They were born poets.

[16:24]You had little kids walking and they were reading poetry better than

[16:29]you and I understand today.

[16:29]So they were top in the Arabic language.

[16:32]And that's why even up to today the greatest poems of all

[16:35]time, they're all from the Jahalia.

[16:39]No one could match the poetry of the Jah area area era

[16:41]for 1400 years.

[16:44]So they knew what eloquence was all about.

[16:46]So the Quran came down and its eloquence and then it challenged

[16:49]them.

[16:49]Bring one chapter like it.

[16:50]If you say Muhammad made it, they couldn't.

[16:53]They waged wars.

[16:52]If you can disprove someone just by bringing a chapter of the

[16:57]Quran, why do you wage a war?

[16:58]Right?

[16:58]So that shows that they couldn't they couldn't scholarly and academically disprove

[17:03]the Quran.

[17:02]This proves that the Quran is the word of Allah subhanahu wa

[17:08]ta'ala or else you bring one like it.

[17:11]So anyway, he tells Muira, Abu Jah tells Alira that this is,

[17:14]you know, this is Muhammad's writing.

[17:16]Al- Mu tells him, "No, these are not the words of Muhammad.

[17:21]These are not man-made.

[17:21]They are supernatural.

[17:23]And then he starts to praise the Quran.

[17:25]He says, "When I hear the words of the Quran, Muhammad is

[17:27]reading it, it's like honey.

[17:28]It's like it's so sweet to my heart.

[17:30]It's like like nothing I have ever heard before.

[17:34]It is so grand.

[17:37]It is so superior to anything else." But then Abu Jah, what

[17:39]does he do?

[17:40]He says, he finds out that he figures out that logically he

[17:43]can't be.

[17:44]So he starts to talk about the tribal system.

[17:48]But remember he's from Bihashim and you're from Bif fan.

[17:50]You're from another tribe and if you submit to him that means

[17:55]you have disgraced your tribe.

[17:56]What will your forefathers say in their graves that you went and

[18:01]submitted to this orphan from another tribe?

[18:04]This logic worked for al- mu.

[18:04]He's like you know what?

[18:05]Yes.

[18:06]Even though I accept that he's he's a prophet and this is

[18:10]not man-made but because of that arrogance they could not believe in

[18:13]the prophet and that's why al- mu he came up with this

[18:14]idea that the prophet is a magician yes when you listen to

[18:19]the Quran you'll like it but not because it's the word of

[18:20]god because he hypnotizes you so arrogance brothers and sisters it can

[18:24]prevent me from believing in the truth like shaitan and like these

[18:30]disbelievers during the time of the prophet now what constitutes arrogance What

[18:35]makes a person arrogant?

[18:36]Brothers and sisters in one traditional imam he explains who an arrogant

[18:43]person is.

[18:45]You know what he says?

[18:45]He says he says whoever thinks he is he is better than

[18:55]anyone else in this world and im says then that person is

[18:59]arrogant.

[19:00]You want to know if you're arrogant or not just apply this

[19:05]test.

[19:05]If you think that you are better than anyone else in this

[19:08]world, I'm better than him, I'm better than her, it doesn't matter,

[19:11]then the imam says that you're an arrogant person.

[19:15]I'm better than him because, for example, of my skin color, of

[19:19]my language, because I'm an Arab and he's not Arab or I

[19:23]am from this country or I'm from this village and thus I

[19:25]am better than that person because I am educated and he's not

[19:28]educated because I am wealthy.

[19:31]This is obviously one of the greatest reasons and most common reasons

[19:35]that someone becomes arrogant.

[19:36]When he becomes wealthy, right?

[19:37]Because I have power, I have wealth and I become this im

[19:42]says is an arrogant person that thinks he's better than someone else

[19:45]because he has more money.

[19:46]Having more money does not make you better than anybody else.

[19:48]Right?

[19:49]Or else Alis, the family of Saudi Arabia is better than all

[19:53]of us because they have 10 times more money than all the

[19:55]rich people of the world combined.

[19:56]Right?

[19:57]So having more money does not in fact the a hadith tell

[20:02]us that wealth comes with what comes with many evil things.

[20:04]It makes you uh stingy.

[20:08]It makes you arrogant.

[20:08]It makes you more attached to the dunya.

[20:11]So usually wealth makes you even worse.

[20:13]Usually doesn't make you a better person.

[20:15]Some people they may think because of my knowledge I'm more knowledgeable

[20:18]than fan and thus I am better than him.

[20:22]This is also wrong.

[20:22]Why?

[20:23]The greatest testimony to this is whol himself.

[20:26]Ll the shaitan he's more knowledgeable than all of us he's more

[20:29]knowledgeable than me and you and all the scholars because he knows

[20:34]everything right but his problem is arrogance so if you think because

[20:36]of your knowledge you're better than someone else that means shaitan the

[20:40]devil is better than you so then the companion of the imam

[20:44]he asked him a question when the imam told him if you

[20:46]feel like you are better than anyone else you're an arrogant person

[20:49]what does the companion tell him the companion tells him but what

[20:56]if what if one Today I see someone committing a sin, I

[21:01]will have something inside me that I'll feel I'm better than him.

[21:06]Right?

[21:06]I was at the lecture listening to a lecture.

[21:08]I was at the masjid praying while he was partying in a

[21:12]bar.

[21:12]When I see this, when I know this, there's something inside me

[21:14]that will make me feel better than that person.

[21:18]This is what the companion tells us.

[21:20]He says here, it's justified for me to feel that I'm better

[21:22]than that person because I did something good.

[21:25]he did something evil.

[21:25]The Imam replies, "No, even then you have no right to feel

[21:30]like you're better." Why?

[21:31]He says, "Because this man, even though he's doing evil now, but

[21:37]he may repent tomorrow.

[21:37]He may repent tomorrow and Allah may forgive him.

[21:41]And you, even though you're doing good now, but you could do

[21:44]evil tomorrow and Allah may not forgive you." Remember when I began

[21:50]the series uh a week ago, we spoke about examples of people

[21:52]who had reached the highest levels of virtue and then they deviated.

[21:55]We gave the example of a Zuber who was the closest companion

[22:00]of the prophet but then he died kill he he died fighting

[22:02]against Imam Ali Alisam.

[22:06]So don't be misled by your you know by your virtues and

[22:08]good deeds now.

[22:10]Who knows what will happen later on.

[22:11]So don't feel like you're better just because you're good now.

[22:13]And of course the example of himself, he's an example of someone

[22:19]that reached the highest levels of faith and virtue and then he

[22:22]fell.

[22:22]So the im tells him that just because you see someone committing

[22:25]a sin doesn't mean you're better than him because maybe he will

[22:28]repent tomorrow like we mentioned the example of the companion of Imam

[22:34]Hussein who was one of the commanders of the army of Yazid.

[22:36]He was there to kill Imam Hussein but then he repented and

[22:40]he switched sides and he fought for Imam Hussein and he was

[22:43]killed.

[22:44]So if he's evil now maybe he'll change tomorrow.

[22:47]So don't think that you're better than him.

[22:47]So the imam he explains to us he defines what arrogance is.

[22:52]Anytime you have that feeling that you're better than someone this is

[22:56]when the shaitan comes and he exploits this feeling that I am

[22:59]from this country from this race from this from that because I

[23:02]have money.

[23:04]He comes and he exploits that and he tries that you disobey

[23:07]Allah in any way because remember when you have arrogance what do

[23:10]you start doing you start belittling people you start disrespecting them you

[23:14]start neglecting them you see how an arrogant person is it's not

[23:17]just a feeling in your heart you start expressing it through your

[23:19]actions so this is the one of the most common methods that

[23:25]the shaitan uses to misguide us he comes through arrogance number two

[23:30]and I hass in that hadith where he mentioned three things he

[23:34]says number two a second weak spot that many of us have

[23:37]is what is envy.

[23:41]Hassad envy.

[23:39]Envy brothers and sisters is a problem that we all suffer from.

[23:46]We all suffer from fact Hassan says that the first crime ever

[23:51]committed on earth was because of envy.

[23:55]Who's he talking about?

[23:56]Who?

[23:59]I can't hear.

[24:02]I can't understand.

[24:05]Can someone be more specific?

[24:07]What?

[24:06]and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala he brought down Adam to this dy

[24:13]right and then he had those his two sons and I imam

[24:19]says that who's called Kain in English right Kain and Abel so

[24:25]he was older than Habib so he expected because he's the older

[24:29]son he expected that he would be his father's successor but Habib

[24:35]was more virtuous.

[24:37]He was a better person.

[24:38]So Allah he instructed Adam to tell his son Habir that you

[24:46]are my successor to appoint him.

[24:46]So he found out that his father chose his younger brother over

[24:51]him.

[24:52]He went crazy.

[24:55]What happened?

[24:53]Envy.

[24:54]The envy and inside him started to burn.

[24:57]So he went to his father Adam.

[24:59]My dear father, why did you appoint my younger brother?

[25:04]I'm the oldest one.

[25:03]I should be your successor.

[25:05]Adam told him, look, this is not my decision.

[25:07]This is the decision of God.

[25:09]God knows better.

[25:11]So he started to object.

[25:12]So to prove to him that this is God's decision, not mine.

[25:16]He told them, why don't you and your brother both offer a

[25:20]sacrifice?

[25:20]Choose something that you love.

[25:22]They used to put it on a mountain and then they would

[25:27]wait.

[25:25]Lightning would come from the sky and it would burn the sacrifice

[25:30]of the one that Allah accepted and leave the other one.

[25:32]So Habil he chose something he put it on a mountain chose

[25:37]something and then they were just looking which sacrifice will Allah accept

[25:42]and Allah mentions the story in the Quran he says all the

[25:56]sudden lightning came and it struck sacrifice and was just waiting nothing

[26:01]happened.

[26:02]Now instead of what?

[26:03]Instead of accepting that his brother is better than him.

[26:07]But no, his envy started to increase and he was raging.

[26:10]So what did he tell his brother?

[26:13]The Quran says he told his brother I will kill you.

[26:18]You see envy brothers and sisters as a feeling is not haram.

[26:21]If you have envy towards someone, you know, you and and basically

[26:25]envy Islamically the definition of envy is when you want someone to

[26:30]lose their good things they have.

[26:31]If you just want to have what they have, this is not

[26:35]envy.

[26:35]So let's say someone is wealthy.

[26:36]I envy him.

[26:38]I want also to be wealthy like him.

[26:39]This is not envy.

[26:39]This is not bad.

[26:42]This is not advice.

[26:41]This is called it's positive envy.

[26:44]He has money.

[26:45]I also want money.

[26:46]He has kids.

[26:47]I also want kids.

[26:49]This is not bad.

[26:49]Envy is when you want that person to lose what he had.

[26:54]I want him to fail.

[26:54]This is envy.

[26:56]So envy as a feeling is not a sin.

[27:00]When does it become a sin?

[27:01]When you start expressing that envy through actions because you have envy

[27:06]towards someone and you want them to fail.

[27:08]What do you do?

[27:10]You start hurting that person, right?

[27:11]You start trying to hurt that person any way that you can.

[27:14]Once you put that envy into action, this is when it becomes

[27:19]haram.

[27:18]The shaitan when he sees you have envy inside you towards someone,

[27:23]he comes right away and he pushes you to hurt that person.

[27:25]Go and hit him, go and kill him sometimes like or you

[27:30]know try to make him uh uh lose and and and fail

[27:35]in any way possible.

[27:35]So thean comes to and he tells him go and kill your

[27:40]brother.

[27:38]So he was playing on that envy that he had until finally

[27:43]he went and he killed his own brother.

[27:46]And Allah made an example of him in the Quran.

[27:50]And this shows you brothers and sisters that envy is so powerful

[27:53]that even the sons of prophets are not immune.

[27:57]Even if your dad is a prophet, you could still what?

[28:00]You could still be fooled and misguided by envy.

[28:03]Yes, it's very powerful.

[28:06]Every one of us brothers and sisters there will be days there

[28:08]will be times in our lives where there will be envy in

[28:12]our hearts and the shaitan will try to seize the opportunity to

[28:15]what?

[28:15]To make me go and hurt the person that I envy.

[28:20]Look at the story of prophet Ysef.

[28:21]Prophet Ysef saw the dream.

[28:23]He told his father he tells in the holy Quran and his

[28:28]brothers they were envious of him.

[28:28]His 11 or 10 brothers they were envious of him and his

[28:31]younger brother binyamin.

[28:35]In fact, Allah says this in the Holy Quran they said the

[28:43]brothers of Ysef they said that our father loves Ysef more than

[28:48]us and the younger brother.

[28:48]Now this is envy.

[28:49]Remember if it's just a thought it's not haram.

[28:51]You have to fight away that you know you have to take

[28:55]that thought out of your brain.

[28:56]Tell yourself this is the shaitan.

[28:58]No, no, no.

[29:00]But they allowed the shaitan to play on that idea.

[29:01]So they came up with an idea of how to what get

[29:05]rid of Ysef the Quran says so one of them said you

[29:14]know what you know what's the solution to this the fact that

[29:16]our father loves Ysef more than us let's kill Ysef sons of

[29:24]prophet they think of murder because of envy so they decided to

[29:27]kill Ysef they told him let's go and play they took him

[29:31]from his father and then They threw him in that well and

[29:33]then one of them said, "Let's not kill him.

[29:35]Let's just sell him." And they sold him as a slave and

[29:38]he was a slave for so many years.

[29:39]So why did they commit that act brothers and sisters?

[29:41]Why did they commit that crime?

[29:45]Because of envy.

[29:44]Their envy was so powerful that it led them to this.

[29:49]And they justified it.

[29:50]Why should we kill Yousef?

[29:54]So that our father can focus on us.

[29:56]Enough Ysef.

[29:58]We want the attention.

[29:58]So they thought by getting rid of Yousef, their father will will

[30:01]start loving them.

[30:02]And this is also one of the whispers of thean that he

[30:04]fools you into thinking if you hurt your rival, whoever you're envious

[30:09]of, you will get the benefit.

[30:11]You won't you'll be caught eventually.

[30:13]And they were caught.

[30:13]Their father found out.

[30:15]He knew that this was their plot and this was their scheme

[30:18]because he's a prophet.

[30:18]Allahh told him they just upset their father and they committed a

[30:24]huge crime.

[30:24]So when we're envious brothers and sisters, when we have envy, we

[30:29]don't even think logically.

[30:29]We are just driven by animosity towards the person that we have

[30:33]envy towards.

[30:35]So these two stories, they the story of Adam and of the

[30:39]brothers of Ysef, it shows you that number one, it doesn't matter

[30:45]how virtuous, how great your family is, you could still be misled

[30:48]and you can you're still uh susceptible to envy.

[30:52]And that's why even religious people, even scholars, even scholars, they can

[30:57]have envy.

[30:57]In fact, there is a hadith that says he is one problem

[31:03]with scholars and with knowledge in general is what?

[31:07]It's envy.

[31:06]He has more knowledge than me.

[31:09]I start having envy.

[31:09]He's more successful than me.

[31:11]I start becoming envious.

[31:13]That masjid is more successful than this masjid.

[31:15]Envy starts to build.

[31:17]Now, you have to try to get rid of the envy.

[31:20]But no, sometimes the shaitan comes and he tries to fool you

[31:23]to start a fight against another masjid.

[31:25]How many communities have you seen two massages they fight over silly

[31:29]reasons?

[31:30]Why?

[31:30]Envy because they have more people than us because they make money

[31:34]more us because because so even religious people brothers and sisters faithful

[31:38]you will find that fights will happen between them problems will happen

[31:43]because of envy.

[31:45]So we have to be extra careful of envy.

[31:47]And a second lesson we learned from these stories of the sons

[31:50]of prophets is that envy brothers and sisters sometimes is a common

[31:58]problem between siblings between siblings like Khabil and Kabil and Ysef and

[32:04]his brothers and that's why as a parent brothers and sisters as

[32:08]a father or mother you have to be extra careful in how

[32:10]you treat your kids.

[32:13]If you start giving one of your kids special treatment over others,

[32:16]one of your daughters, one of your sons, trust me, the others,

[32:20]they will what?

[32:22]Start feeling jealous and that envy will start to develop and the

[32:25]shaitan will come and it will try to exaggerate and will try

[32:28]to play on this and to push them to what?

[32:31]To seek revenge and do something either against the father, against the

[32:34]mother or against their own siblings.

[32:37]As we saw stories of the brothers of prophets and the sons

[32:40]of prophets, they did that.

[32:41]So we have to be very sensitive.

[32:42]Anything you do for one of your children, do it for the

[32:47]other ones.

[32:46]Even even if one of them is better than the others.

[32:50]Don't give that person special treatment in a way that the other

[32:53]one can see because this will what?

[32:54]This is fuel for that person to try to seek revenge and

[33:00]do something evil.

[33:00]Don't say, "No, he's my son.

[33:03]He's not." The sons of prophets try to kill each other.

[33:05]You're not better than a prophet, are you?

[33:07]If they were not immune, our children won't be immune.

[33:10]And the hadith of you know they focus on this.

[33:13]Treat all your kids equally.

[33:16]Even if some of some of them are better than others, then

[33:17]you have to treat them equally.

[33:19]Ysef was much better than his brothers.

[33:21]Don't think that he was just you know he was just he

[33:25]loved Ysef just because he looked better than the others.

[33:27]No, because Ysef his personality, his traits, his uh his merits, his

[33:32]virtues, he was much better than his brothers.

[33:35]But yet he should not have you know done it in such

[33:40]an obvious way that the the brothers they started to feel so

[33:42]jealous and envious.

[33:44]So we have to be extra careful when it comes to how

[33:47]we treat our own kids.

[33:50]So this is the second brother and sisters this is the second

[33:56]method or the second uh weak spot that we human beings usually

[33:59]have that the shaitan tries to exploit.

[34:01]Number one we said was arrogance.

[34:02]Number two I Hassan says is envy and envy is very dangerous

[34:09]and every single one of us brothers and sisters we will be

[34:12]envious one day.

[34:12]Allah subhana wa ta'ala has created us as human beings.

[34:16]We will become envious.

[34:16]But as we said that feeling of envy is not haram.

[34:20]You have to fight it.

[34:20]Whatever your envy is telling you to do, don't do it.

[34:24]You hate that person because he's more successful.

[34:27]No.

[34:28]Say no.

[34:27]This is wrong.

[34:28]Allah subhana t gave him this wealth.

[34:30]Allah gave him the success.

[34:31]Allah gave him that.

[34:33]So you have to fight these insinuations of the shaitan and tell

[34:36]yourself, look, I know he's my cousin and he's wealthier than me.

[34:39]Well, maybe because he works better than me.

[34:41]Maybe it's because he's smarter than me.

[34:43]Maybe because I sleep till 10:00, 11, and he wakes up from

[34:48]6:00 a.m.

[34:47]and he's working.

[34:48]That's why.

[34:49]So give them the benefit of the doubt versus just saying he's

[34:52]a spoiled brat.

[34:51]He has more than me.

[34:54]No.

[34:54]First of all, you're going to destroy yourself because of the, you

[34:57]know, the psychological torture that envy has for the own envious person.

[35:01]And number two, this may lead to a crime.

[35:05]How many crimes you hear in the news, you know, between family

[35:08]members or between two people who are in the same profession.

[35:12]One tries to kill the other, he tries to steal from the

[35:14]other, he tries to hurt the other just because of the envy.

[35:18]So this is number two.

[35:20]And number three, number three, Alm Hassam says the third way or

[35:24]the third weak spot that we human beings have is what is

[35:29]what is greed?

[35:31]Greed for the dunya.

[35:34]This I will speak about tomorrow inshallah.

[35:34]How powerful this vice greed can be in us and the shaitan

[35:40]uses this to misguide us in this.

[35:43]Inshallah I will speak about greed tomorrow night because it needs an

[35:46]entire lecture to speak about the dangers of greed and how shaitan

[35:53]I'll give you examples how the shaitan he exploits greed to misguide

[35:57]us.

[35:58]I'll speak about that tomorrow.

[35:59]Inshallah tonight we will have the bonfire outside.

[36:01]Alhamdulillah, there's no rain tonight and it's a little cold.

[36:04]So, I hope you brought your jackets if anyone's will wanting to

[36:08]stay.

[36:08]We'll just have it in a couple of minutes inshallah for about

[36:11]an hour.

[36:12]Uh it will be an open Q&A discussion session and then I

[36:15]think there will be food uh the there's a truck that sells

[36:20]food.

[36:20]So, whoever wants to have their during the discussion after the discussion,

[36:24]you're more than welcome to attend.

[36:25]Thank you so much brothers and sisters.

[36:28]I ask Allahh to bless you all except your to forgive us

[36:30]all of our sins to guide us in the footsteps of and

[36:35]to protect us from these traps and manipulations of the ask Allah

[36:42]subhanahu wa ta'ala to grant us the z of in this life

[36:43]and their in the next life and let us end by reciting

[36:48]fat for all the and that have departed us after a loud

[36:51]salawat for Muhammad and al Muhammad Bat.
