[16:41]my name is Muhammad F welcome to the fifth night in Ramadan

[16:46]um may Allah all accept all your duas your deeds and bless

[16:53]your you and your family on this cherish month um like to

[16:59]do starting with uh is thank our sponsors for tonight um Haj

[17:07]fuas for the Mustafa Ahmed F Mustafa Ahmed Fu uh our brother

[17:16]Imad aada has health issues so pray for his uh Health quickly

[17:20]and safely anous donor and Ahmed Hussein um please recite fat uh

[17:30]after a loud salawat um in the last week um we've learned

[17:53]what Ramadan is about try to understand various speakers that we've had

[17:59]and what it means uh what it means to to really read

[18:07]the Quran or to pray and focus and also avoiding distractions so

[18:17]it's not it's not let me say this it's very difficult to

[18:23]be a Muslim in a country like this not like our home

[18:26]countries so there's a lot of extra effort we have to go

[18:31]through to avoid these Discretions and and what we learned is how

[18:37]do we get closer to Allah and what are the things that

[18:40]we we need to do to do that number one starting with

[18:45]the Quran how we need to read more but also reflect on

[18:52]what it's meaning to us and really try to understand that um

[18:57]also think about when we fast and it's to see and help

[19:05]understand what other people are going through that are less fortunate than

[19:08]us we we are blessed Allah subhana tala has blessed us having

[19:12]a home we have food on the table we're in the fridge

[19:18]we have power we have security we have health care and you

[19:21]look at other places in the Middle East today they don't have

[19:26]any of this so it's really reflecting on how fort forunate and

[19:32]blessed we are um also what can we do to help people

[19:38]and reflecting on that and especially during this time changing our Behavior

[19:44]behavior for the better and the thing is it's not a switch

[19:50]where you you just turn it on and off but how do

[19:53]we continue getting better over time and that's that's what Allah subhana

[19:59]is looking from us and things we can do volunteer we can

[20:02]volunteer at Mecca it could be a school it could be a

[20:07]third party community service there's a lot of um third parties and

[20:13]uh communities asking and needing help those are the type of things

[20:17]we can do to support the community um another thing we also

[20:22]talked about from the various speakers which is really important and very

[20:28]hard to do and that's having patience and tolerance if you're going

[20:32]you're on Ford Road and you're going to Dearborn you want to

[20:36]get some minut is or sh water a sandwich and a guy

[20:40]wants to cut over let him cut over or somebody cuts you

[20:43]off you know back off and it's that type of behavior where

[20:49]typically you you're stressed and you may get upset really it's kind

[20:56]of backing off and changing that behavior um this month the holy

[21:02]month of Ramadan is also the month of forgiveness and it's not

[21:08]it's not only family friends the hatred that people could have inside

[21:15]really hardens the heart and Allah subhana T wants us to get

[21:21]rid of the egos get rid of the Egos and forgive these

[21:27]people forgive the people that you've had uh difficulty with whether they

[21:34]really upset youve done things wrong and make that first step especially

[21:38]the in this month of Ramadan um and another way um to

[21:46]get closer to Allah is Zak or do donations there's many ways

[21:54]to donate um we can donate um here at Mecca whether it's

[22:00]sponsoring a night um maybe whatever people can afford on a monthly

[22:05]donation reoccurring could be a dollar could be $10 or $50 um

[22:13]to continue supporting this great facility and another way is for our

[22:24]new center is having um a prayer plot for one of you

[22:27]yourselves or a mar to support that will continue giving and if

[22:30]you look around here this is wouldn't be possible without you none

[22:36]of it I was talking to uh hash Hassan earlier this week

[22:40]and he was telling me um how Mecca started there was no

[22:46]facility it was in his living room that's how it started and

[22:50]having it on web and look at us now and mashah we

[22:57]keep growing and we we need to continue to support this because

[23:03]this is the biggest most important in investment you can ever make

[23:11]in your life it's not the house it's not the business this

[23:14]is the biggest investment not only for you but your family and

[23:17]your future families inshallah um I just want to make just couple

[23:28]uh quick announcements uh this Friday we have uh Brothers game night

[24:15]here is uh we're fortunate to have hash H um for another

[24:21]night going to be here for uh through Friday so we appreciate

[24:25]that and without further Ado I I'd like to introduce our Dynamic

[24:33]speaker Al after a loud salaat please muhad alhamd aldd [Music] Muhammad

[25:54][Music] I begin in Allah's name the beneficent the merciful and I

[26:11]bid you Allah in the Quran tells us you're the best in

[26:19]the community you promote good you forbid evil you believe in God

[26:22]as I stated in the first lecture the most difficult aspect of

[26:27]this conversation is what is good and what is evil and what

[26:33]should we do and how should we promote it for when you

[26:35]promote good what is the means by which we should promote as

[26:41]my brother mentioned you know building an Islamic Center is a means

[26:46]of promoting good building a school is a means of promoting good

[26:50]having burial services is a means of promoting good you know when

[26:54]you guide the human race and show show them the evils of

[27:01]society then that's the means of preventing evil and of course having

[27:05]programs that minimizes evil by promoting greater good for the more we

[27:10]can indulge on a day-to-day basis within the limited space and time

[27:14]of the 24 hours a day we're minimizing damage which I think

[27:20]is very important and I want to continue discussing that in this

[27:24]month of Ramadan Allah's main objective is you become God conscious and

[27:31]I want you to use the correlation of the words correctly when

[27:34]people ask you what it what does it mean what does it

[27:39]mean to be God conscious what does it mean to be Pious

[27:41]a lot of kids will tell you to be close to Allah

[27:45]proximity these are all perfect words perfect sentences but many people don't

[27:51]understand it they don't know what it is you know when you're

[27:56]saying getting close to God I don't know what that is God

[27:58]is already close to me he knows me more than I know

[28:02]myself so how do I get close to God you know piety

[28:06]or God Consciousness what does it mean God Consciousness I know God

[28:11]exists I know he's one I know he's Eternal is that it

[28:15]is that God Consciousness no true God Consciousness is the essential nature

[28:23]of how God works in his rahma which is that the most

[28:26]prominent feature in in US knowing Allah if I was to ask

[28:33]us describe the best description of Allah Allah is Indescribable but within

[28:41]the limited frame that he has described himself to us you'll find

[28:46]Allah has 99 Names actually he's got more than 99 but 99

[28:49]are the prevalent ones and of the 99 Allah is the most

[28:56]prominent name obviously because it means the god and that's his name

[29:00]by the way even if you go to Christian churches that are

[29:02]Arabic they use God as Allah so Allah is not a unique

[29:06]feature in the Muslim world it's an Arabic term for God okay

[29:10]the Quran uses it strategically as the best name for God right

[29:15]because when you look at the sentence Allah you will see that

[29:22]you remove the alif becomes you knowah towards God and if you

[29:27]look at Allah if you break it up into to it constantly

[29:29]takes you towards Allah I'll discuss that another time we find that

[29:36]Allah subhana tala's most prominent feature is his Mercy the entire Quran

[29:43]repeats 114 times one chapter is missing it obviously but that's in

[29:48]and Allah is constantly talking about in the name of Allah the

[29:53]beneficent the merciful that's the most prominent feature of God I want

[29:59]us to understand this is a very practical example of how you

[30:02]and I can get close to Allah God's 99 Names some cannot

[30:10]be emulated you know God is mighty powerful there are certain as

[30:18]that the creation cannot take okay but almost all of them are

[30:28]to be emulated by us because our characters are within that frame

[30:32]so let's go back into byi he describes what are the first

[30:49]things that Allah created and there are many first things you know

[30:53]one of the first of the first things that Allah created was

[30:56]the light of the Prophet why this verse is very Universal in

[31:04]principle he creates makes it perfect gives it Destiny and drives it

[31:09]home Destiny is to for you and I to emulate as much

[31:16]as possible the mannerisms of the holy prophet and his b that's

[31:20]the destiny of humankind I'm simplifying it very very simple if the

[31:25]human race can emulate the holy prophet prophet and his family the

[31:31]problems of the world will go away instantaneously but it's not easy

[31:37]so Allah created that light as the driving force giving it impetus

[31:40]and purpose for why you and I should be created it's like

[31:43]the GPS coordinates before you start driving you've got the GPS but

[31:47]it's useless until you put the coordinates the coordinates are the prophet

[31:54]and is okay and in now people say hold on the universe

[32:16]is much greater than that the universe is billions and billions and

[32:20]billions Timeless the holy prophet came 14th centuries ago how can you

[32:25]equate that the Universe was created for these five I want to

[32:28]bring a very important Point here for you to for you and

[32:32]I to understand let's not animate the details of it but understand

[32:36]the essential nature of the holy prophet which is what drives the

[32:40]entire Hadith and the Quran Allah says he created the universe in

[32:49]truth as I mentioned the other day a man came and asked

[32:53]the messenger of Allah how do I become a muslim with the

[32:54]minimal amount of practice and the messenger said Don't Lie be truthful

[32:59]you'll come to the truth Islam is De it's a religion of

[33:04]Truth the universe has been created in truth when you and I

[33:06]debate Christians Jews atheists agnostics Hindus Buddhists confucianists whatever your objective should

[33:14]not be to make them into Muslims your objective my objective should

[33:17]be to make them aware of the truth that's it because truth

[33:25]is compelling it's compelling so Islam is the religion of Truth Allah

[33:32]created the universe in truth so I want you to see the

[33:38]Resonance of Truth the ultimate Creation with two legs and a head

[33:41]and a body that represents the purpose of humanity and and actually

[33:48]represents the purpose of all creatures in the universe whether they have

[33:51]six legs 12 legs two legs no legs they have a function

[33:57]which is to recog ize God's mercy for they're all recipients of

[34:01]God's mercy we have a universal principle even the Quran is pegged

[34:06]universally while it is a book given unto us as a human

[34:12]race it is an extraction from another book indeed this Quran is

[34:22]an honorable book from another book that is guarded why another book

[34:26]because Allah says there's a universal principle that transcends all creations not

[34:32]only you as humans the Gin the angels all creatures that you

[34:36]and I don't even know exist in so many dimensions they're all

[34:42]subject to the same Global principles of God's Divine rule which is

[34:47]promotion of good demotion of evil if Free Will exists in that

[34:51]creation and of course the fundamental principle of Tas towards Allah subhana

[34:58]tala which is recognizing his Mercy that's why Allah says Allah is

[35:09]describing everything in the universe submits to Allah that's the main function

[35:14]and purpose now because the universe is true and it's truthful and

[35:21]it's compelling you will not find Creations on Earth other than prophets

[35:27]and imams who are the ultimate truth and on that culmination that

[35:32]when you and I State Muhammad as Muslims we bear Allegiance in

[35:38]that sentence that or Adam we bear allegiance that MSA and Isa

[35:46]and ibraim all of them are prophets of God by stating that

[35:55]Muhammad is muham muham [Music] that's the universal principle so when Allah

[36:03]says Allah is touching that a fundamental Essence it's not the animation

[36:08]of the Prophet as a being in his soul existing in a

[36:14]Time 14 centuries ago but rather essentially being the cause or the

[36:19]driving force of your existence in mine he doesn't have to come

[36:23]millions of years ago he doesn't have to keep coming but the

[36:28]mere fact of the presentation of this being at a certain period

[36:32]of time and among his Creations there are others who are representing

[36:36]the purity of Truth and Allah would address that Community with those

[36:40]prophets who are the purified ones for them that Allah subhana T

[36:46]would also tell them that I did not create this universe except

[36:49]for the love of these the love of the the exclusivity is

[36:52]universal that when Allah loves the prophet he loves Imam Ali he

[36:57]loves f he loves he loves IM Hassan IM Hussein all the

[37:02]rest of the nine imams it is universal because they all represent

[37:08]the same principles of truth that's the Elegance of the religion of

[37:13]God that they're interchangeable IM aliam says you like Jesus follow Jesus

[37:18]in he says that he says Jesus walked in such abstemious ways

[37:24]where he abstained from eating too much food and indulging that he

[37:31]used to eat the most basic food from the trees that his

[37:37]skin turned green you like him follow him Allah says you want

[37:41]to follow the religion of Allah then follow ibraim actually ibraim Prophet

[37:48]ibraim is the same as the name Islam when people ask you

[37:51]what religion do you follow tell them I'm abrahamic I follow Prophet

[37:57]ibraim you are telling them I'm a Muslim Allah says that yeah

[38:18]Subhan Allah it's so elegant struggle in the way of your lord

[38:24]the way God deserves oh that's a that's a conver ation of

[38:29]a lifetime what does God deserve how do I pay back God

[38:37]how do I struggle in the way of God what do I

[38:39]have in my capacities and Allah says you're going to spend the

[38:45]rest of your existance understanding that but start then God says I

[38:50]chose you and I didn't make religion difficult for you he say

[38:57]this religion your father ibraim the religion of your father ibraim look

[39:03]Allah Associates Islam with ibraim meaning that they were called Muslims before

[39:12]for Adam was a Muslim you know when I talk to Christians

[39:17]and Jews they said you know among the abrahamic faiths Islam is

[39:21]the youngest religion I said who told you that he said of

[39:25]course it's judeo Christian Islamic H I said you got it wrong

[39:32]I said what do you mean I said for you Adam wasn't

[39:36]even a prophet he was a first man and Eve for us

[39:37]he was the first prophet so our Islam was there before you

[39:44]and for you to say I'm the youngest meaning my Prophet concocted

[39:49]a new religion 1400 years ago excuse me I take umage to

[39:53]that it's insulting don't say that my religion pre-existed all of us

[40:00]for the religion of Islam is even before the Earth was created

[40:03]for any system that God puts in the universe in its own

[40:08]Universal systems is Islam why what is Islam submission All Creations in

[40:16]the universe including Angels submit to Allah including the Jin submit to

[40:20]Allah so Islam is an eternal reality as long as God is

[40:25]creating whatever God creates it's subject to Islam so it's not a

[40:29]phenomenon that came with Adam but for the realistic state to be

[40:32]a pragmatist we said that when Allah created Adam Islam was with

[40:38]us so it's the original religion of God which became complete 1400

[40:44]years ago today we complete our favor and perfect for you the

[40:56]religion Al Islam so when we follow the prophet he is the

[41:00]essential nature of Truth thusi When God says I did not create

[41:04]except for the love of this five it is not in contradiction

[41:08]for in principle it's identical the same and that's why it's authentic

[41:13]it's it's it's elementally beautiful but all subsequent schools of thought and

[41:20]religion other than the school of a b you'll find that there's

[41:22]something quirky about the violation of Truth where untrue people have taken

[41:29]the seat of leadership in the name of God and that to

[41:34]me is the greatest breach of justice and they say the Throne

[41:41]of God shakes when an evildoer sits pretending to be representing God

[41:46]and that's the I of sh of mankind because shitan is a

[41:48]master of ausc and what does he do he switches leaders and

[41:54]he makes sure the wrong leaders represent the pretensions because then you

[42:03]confuse the world that's why for us in the school of we

[42:06]insist that our leadership cannot be chosen by humans it must be

[42:13]chosen by Allah 124,000 prophets none of us in the human race

[42:17]ever ever had aurah where you and I ever had some kind

[42:23]of a voting right by which to choose even a prophet who

[42:26]was sometimes sent only to a family for some prophets were sent

[42:31]only to a community not on a larger scale even they were

[42:34]not allowed to choose another excellent example Quran tells us his Prophet

[42:41]M Alam was not only a na but he was a rasool

[42:44]he was a rasool what is a rasool one who receives the

[42:49]laws of God not only that but he's Anam Prophet meaning he's

[42:53]a prophet of the highest caliber among all prophets there are five

[43:01]chosen prophets who Quran calls ulam meaning the most elevated prophets among

[43:09]all 124,000 ibraim Alam is one of them mam Isa the holy

[43:13]prophet Prophet uh n Alam when you look at these personalities their

[43:18]position is of the highest caliber now I want you to understand

[43:21]historically the prophet Musa had a brother whose name was Haron who

[43:27]was also a prophet he was a Nabi he was not a

[43:31]rasool he was a Nabi but notice that the two of them

[43:33]are chosen agents of God by God Brothers two brothers who are

[43:38]prophets one is superior to the other in position created for a

[43:45]mission that at Birth he was placed in the basket by his

[43:48]mother to go and bring down Fon that means the mission of

[43:54]the prophet of prophet Musa Alam was decreed at Birth when Allah

[44:02]says go to he has exceeded his boundaries does Prophet Mussa say

[44:09]to his brother okay come on let's go I choose you you

[44:12]know since mankind can choose sh you and I can you know

[44:17]on the Fly get into somebody's house and say okay I would

[44:20]like you to be the Khalifa and then you look at me

[44:23]I love you brother thank you thank you thank you or you

[44:27]beat me on the nose until you break my nose cuz you

[44:31]don't like me that's what happened when the Khalifa was chosen and

[44:35]then one Khalifa throws it like a ball to the other one

[44:39]I don't like this one I like that one it's like a

[44:41]soccer ball this is Shan does this God doesn't do this mam

[44:47]doesn't have an authority as much as he's AO a of the

[44:53]highest caliber inam he does not have the authority to appoint his

[44:56]own brother on a mission a small Mission can you imagine being

[45:02]the universal representative of god Till Judgment Day how absurd is the

[45:08]proposition unbelievable but listen we're not here to argue we just want

[45:16]to understand the forensics of Shan so that when God says maintain

[45:20]good and forbid evil how would I know what to forbid evil

[45:25]unless I know the Fingerprints of the evil doers so that I

[45:28]know how not to emulate their Lifestyles you have to have forensics

[45:33]you need to know how the Fingerprints of Shan work what is

[45:38]the modus ofendi of el how does he work once you figure

[45:43]him out then you can see it if you don't know it

[45:44]you'll be party to it so notice M says what make my

[45:59]tongue smooth let them understand expand for me my chest my heart

[46:05]make my heart capable of handling this mission to go and speak

[46:09]to this Tyrant then he says make my brother my helper Subhan

[46:19]Allah you're a prophet we are going to choose our own leaders

[46:23]anyway Prophet says that's not how things work even a prophet of

[46:29]God who's of the highest caliber does not have the capacity to

[46:33]choose the leader of God unbelievable so when Allah subhana tala is

[46:38]decreeing upon this and by the way in this Ayah Allah says

[46:43]to M I accept it you and your brother go together you

[46:47]see so Allah allows it authorizes it our Islam comes from Allah

[46:53]and the prophet otherwise we're putting the card in in front of

[46:59]the horse the minute we dictate to God how Islam should be

[47:01]we're putting the cart in front of the horse cuz then I

[47:05]don't need religion anymore if I'm going to dictate to God how

[47:07]things should be then the atheist is right for this that's the

[47:10]atheist is doing exactly the same thing for he's putting the cart

[47:15]in front of the Horse by decreeing that I don't need a

[47:17]God to tell me what to do I'm going to figure out

[47:20]my own destiny that's the problem in life so when we go

[47:26]forward you see that when we look at prophets and imams that

[47:30]they are a perfect role model it is one Central Peg When

[47:35]God says you are the best in the community you promote good

[47:38]promotion of good is to look at God his messenger and to

[47:41]understand now in Al in Ali Allah says the first thing Allah

[47:48]created among Creations was intellect he created intellect and then he told

[47:54]intellect go and intellect left it's a metaphor then Allah said to

[48:04]intellect come back return to me and intellect returned to Allah it's

[48:10]in alfi Imam jaff sadik is explaining this then Allah looked at

[48:14]intellect and said I love you and therefore I endow you with

[48:20]the highest moral characters all the positive characters of generosity kindness patience

[48:27]loving caring sharing giving forgiving etc etc etc there's 72 of them

[48:32]I think or 73 of them he said I endow them to

[48:35]you so notice when you and I submit in the promotion of

[48:41]good and every one of us has received akal akal has been

[48:44]implanted to you and me we have it the capacity of the

[48:51]73 endowments are within us if we simply work within our own

[48:55]frames by which to submit willfully within that framework those 73 qualities

[49:01]will begin to flower in us will start to become forgiving we'll

[49:06]start to become generous we'll start to become introspective we'll start to

[49:13]become humble and not arrogant qualities that are so Central that even

[49:18]atheists talk about these qualities and even they despise it that level

[49:24]of attitude where humans despise arrogance they despise mendaciousness they despise people

[49:34]who are uh for example criminal in nature we despise them we

[49:38]we incarcerate them we execute them when they murder children and murder

[49:42]people and when they when they commit large levels of crimes that

[49:46]hurt the human race it's it's within our F our human nature

[49:52]even outside of those even among those who don't claim to be

[49:54]Believers in God that they find repulsive when another human being is

[49:58]causing harm on another human being this is what Allah is saying

[50:04]you are the best you promote good but what's my template Allah

[50:06]says the template of the prophet's light and this quality of AK

[50:13]that I've placed in you now I want you to focus on

[50:15]the metaphor of go and come back obeyed then Allah created the

[50:27]antithesis now notice in the relative World whatever Allah has created I

[50:32]find it very fascinating there's a system I'm going to introduce it

[50:37]very fast you'll find that Allah has allowed all relative entities on

[50:41]in majority of the cases to have a flip side of every

[50:48]thought here it's many meanings blessed is who create everything in pairs

[50:55]pairs is not only male and female but opposites so you'll notice

[51:00]that in philosophical terms if I propose an idea we will call

[51:05]that a thesis I have a thesis I have a theory it's

[51:11]an idea I think a b c XYZ whatever Allah says whatever

[51:14]you want to present present the minute you present it the thesis

[51:18]becomes a reality in thought then Allah allows immediately instantaneously the existence

[51:26]of the antithesis where now you can say well you say a

[51:31]i reject a the power to reject whatever youve proposed is the

[51:36]opposite and Allah created that relative system you'll notice everything in life

[51:41]has a flip side everything any idea God exists nope God is

[51:52]good nope God is one no God is kind no there's always

[51:56]somebody saying no and whoever says no there's always somebody saying yes

[52:04]thesis antithesis where does the truth where does the truth lie in

[52:09]thesis or in the antithesis he says it depends on the thesis

[52:16]itself yeah but then see the thesis is encapsulated in its own

[52:20]standards so regardless you see when you say depends it means you're

[52:26]making a judgment outside of th so there's a third element and

[52:32]this is what we call Pure Justice H notice how it comes

[52:36]into existence in philosophy we call it there's a thesis there's an

[52:40]antithesis but the truth lies in the synthesis Muhammad Muhammad what does

[52:53]the court of law do guilty party right prosecutor defense prosecutor is

[53:01]the thesis defense antithesis why are the two arguing because the judge

[53:09]is going to give a synthesis the jury is going to give

[53:12]a synthesis they're going to hear both sides and come with the

[53:17]best answer as close as possible to the truth that's the beauty

[53:20]of the creation of God so when Allah created akal he created

[53:26]the opposite called Jah the antithesis to intellect stupidity ignorance ignominy arrogance

[53:36]are all qualities that are the opposite and Allah created jahil and

[53:42]said to jahil go and jahil went then Allah said to Jah

[53:51]come back he said no Allah says I despise you so jahil

[53:57]said you are just you gave akal 73 Allah says I give

[54:04]you 73 also all opposites so if you're generous what's the opposite

[54:08]stingy if you're kind you're wretched if you're loving you're hating see

[54:16]notice there opposite qualities in human behavior and we are all suffering

[54:21]within our scales of which one to hold on to and as

[54:26]I mentioned one of the qualities we have have is that as

[54:28]children if we don't raise children properly with the proper balance of

[54:33]understanding thesis antithesis synthesis knowing what is justice as IM Ali Alam

[54:40]says justice is giving everything its proper du he said if you

[54:44]were to unfold the seat of justice for me I will not

[54:50]deny an insect the husk of its grain that it deserves that

[54:56]that's the nth level of Justice Imam Ali talks about that even

[54:59]an insect whatever it deserves I will give it justice is giving

[55:06]everything its proper due what is that actually synthesis where you give

[55:10]and you deny and you give and you deny but what happens

[55:13]is that balance therefore brings Harmony but to bring Harmony requires knowledge

[55:21]requires experience requires wisdom requires consultation requires prayer from God and guidance

[55:30]for you can't do it until you turn to God and say

[55:35]my Lord guide me to make the right decisions even when you

[55:39]look at Dam he was extremely wise but he would always ask

[55:46]Allah guide me in my judgment how do I judge how do

[55:49]I make a judgment if you look at the justice of IM

[55:52]Ali Alam in his time how he how he would judge he

[55:57]was mind-blowing that you and I would never be able to understand

[56:01]it like a woman who was accused of having a baby in

[56:05]6 months wisdom the second caleff condemned the woman to death so

[56:11]she has committed adultery she should be killed because the baby was

[56:15]born in 6 months and it's known to be 9 months so

[56:19]Imam Ali alisam stops him says wrong he said no baby was

[56:26]born six months she must have had um premarital Affair Imam says

[56:30]no the Quran talks about a mother carrying the in the womb

[56:33]of the CH the child in her womb for 2 years and

[56:38]also for 30 months Quran mentions both verses 24 months and 30

[56:45]months and Imam looks at the second kif and says the differential

[56:48]is 6 months so the child is halal now for you and

[56:53]I to be able to dissect the level of knowledge by which

[56:55]to come come with such a law we'd be in a quandry

[56:59]we wouldn't know what to do we'd be confused but Allah says

[57:05]the HMA I gave to my servants to be able to understand

[57:08]the gravity of Justice now is Allah expecting you and me to

[57:14]be so just as the way Imam Ali was no but let

[57:18]us make the move in that direction such that we try to

[57:21]be as just as possible which then demands patience not impulsive thinking

[57:28]where somebody says something you jump and you make a conclusion you

[57:32]say let me think about it for I need to build a

[57:35]synthesis now why did jahil refuse to come because Jah does not

[57:41]want to do for the true essence of Allah's message that was

[57:48]the best message given to all his Creations is indeed you're all

[57:55]from Allah and you turn to Allah that was what did and

[58:01]dominates everything in the same Adam was tested there were three things

[58:07]jel gives him gives him de and what is Dean religion pathway

[58:15]you know a system of Rights and Wrongs do and downs de

[58:24]and ha what is ha decency awareness of modesty and jibrael says

[58:35]choose one of the three de or which one do you want

[58:38]Adam was wise he says I want AK because he knew what

[58:46]akal is so then jibrael says to Dean and ha leave go

[58:52]get out and then and ha looks at jbel and says we

[58:54]can't go we have been commanded to be with Subhan Allah So

[59:01]Adam actually got all three so when you have intellect and therefore

[59:05]you take the names of God the As and promote good through

[59:10]those by using the holy prophet and B as a template and

[59:13]the Quran is a written document then your chances of success are

[59:20]guaranteed it's so simple but it's an it's a Monumental task so

[59:35]I'd like to stress and I'm going to go on to this

[59:40]let's look at some forensics in terms of our behavior and I

[59:42]think it's important that we just touch on a few so that

[59:47]we are acutely aware of the diseases we have in society for

[59:49]you will notice and I I'll set another interesting standard we have

[59:54]five rules in Islam they're known it as five rules there is

[60:03]everything you and I do in life brething sleeping eating talking walking

[60:07]anything in life as long as you're alive come under the jurisdiction

[60:11]of these five they're known as five rules we are the only

[60:18]religion in the world to my knowledge that has such an ironclad

[60:22]system of what we call um adjudication or judgment that we pass

[60:30]on our Behavior as a human race so there's waj there's Haram

[60:39]there's must there's Mak and there's mu five rules they all have

[60:45]rewards and Punishment built into it waj do it you get rewarded

[60:48]don't do it you get punished Haram is the opposite don't do

[60:53]it you get rewarded do it you get punished Mak better to

[60:59]avoid it if you don't do it nothing happens must better for

[61:03]you to do it you don't do it no problem muba whether

[61:08]you do it or not no reward no punishment neutral now for

[61:11]a True Believer there's no muah one who's a true servant of

[61:18]God does not see anything mubah because within that limited space of

[61:22]time in their existence every move they make is within the waj

[61:26]and must and they acutely aware of the Haram now I want

[61:31]you to understand this it's just an introduction but it's pretty deep

[61:35]but please catch it of the five everybody will tell you the

[61:41]two are the most important is waj and Haram they have the

[61:44]most consequence because they're the ones that have reward and Punishment waj

[61:48]you get rewarded not doing it you get punished understood simple right

[61:55]very fundamental the question is of the two which is more important

[61:59]most people will say waj but actually the answer is Haram why

[62:07]H shouldn't waj be the most important no because by Nature mankind

[62:13]is good and therefore as long as you avoid the Haram by

[62:20]Nature waj will become natural so the most important danger is Haram

[62:26]now you notice the deeply rooted in knowledge and in the Quran

[62:32]we say then what's the next verse why not put me in

[62:43]jna why save me from hell why don't you pray to God

[62:48]to put you in Jenna we ask Allah give me jna right

[62:49]no most in most of the Quran we're asking God to save

[62:54]us from hell why are we asking God for Paradise because because

[62:56]the wise person knows God created before Paradise it's redundant to ask

[63:01]God for it I'm already destined to go there I will do

[63:06]my due to my own ignorance and stupidity I will take myself

[63:11]away from Paradise therefore I need God's help to save me from

[63:17]hell so what do they say he said Glory to you you

[63:28]didn't create this out of foolishness meaning this is a purposeful existence

[63:32]save us from the fire of Hell the deeply rooted in knowledge

[63:35]are asking to be saved why aren't they asking to go to

[63:40]paradise why aren't they asking for from God to be put in

[63:42]the highest stations of paradise it's redundant they look around and this

[63:47]Earth is the first level of paradise we've made it into a

[63:52]hell if we simply obeyed Allah this world would be a paradise

[63:54]I believe if we truly obeyed Allah the way he intended it

[63:58]you and I wouldn't be using cars we'd be going through worm

[64:01]holes in dimensions of all types and you and I would be

[64:07]traversing the universe like it was a piece of cake I'll meet

[64:09]you in that planet tomorrow or how about the next 30 seconds

[64:13]sure let's go have dinner there right the incredible level of Ascension

[64:18]that you and I would have achieved but we've shot ourselves in

[64:20]the foot due to our own foolishness and as a result we've

[64:22]remained mundane and within the ditch but but God is merciful he

[64:29]said it's so no problem when you die I'll Elevate you but

[64:31]notice the beauty that when there is a negativity you need to

[64:36]focus on it so let's touch on a few for example Allah

[64:45]says this now this is a serious problem in society I deal

[64:52]with it every single day at my work at wise I deal

[64:57]with it every day somebody comes Hajj such and such a person

[65:02]said this we need to solve it this person thinks this way

[65:05]I said okay say that now I know whatever they said is

[65:10]a bit outlandish it's not normal I don't judge because I know

[65:15]I don't know how true the sentence is and here Allah interestingly

[65:23]says in who's a f Troublemaker one who loves to change the

[65:26]sentence slightly add a little salt and pepper make it a little

[65:30]more spicy you know and then when you catch them oh I

[65:34]didn't mean that you know what I meant now you're in trouble

[65:38]then you recant but you've already put fire to the pit oh

[65:41]my God we all suffer that in the house too hey Mom

[65:46]my sister you know she did this and the poor sister didn't

[65:49]do it accusations upon accusations we are experts in creating and fabricating

[65:55]things because it just gives us the power to control the world

[66:02]it's a serious sickness in society exaggeration they call them Chinese Whisperers

[66:08]it's not true it's fabricated and sadly some of it has become

[66:13]canonical and holy in religion it's become relig it's become so part

[66:19]of religion it's even in the churches and in the mosques and

[66:22]in the synagogues and in the temples and they worship the LIE

[66:25]cuz somebody cooked it up Allah says validate oh my God you

[66:42]won't believe how many bullets I've dodged just by saying hold on

[66:45]you said this yes yes this person said that I said hold

[66:49]on I pick up the phone call the other person what did

[66:51]you say she say I swear I didn't say it I said

[66:54]what did you say now there's a confusion I said no problem

[66:58]put them on a three-way or bring them into the conference room

[67:01]all right sit down hash it out tell me exactly let's get

[67:06]synthesis in this matter for there's a thesis and an antithesis I

[67:13]am confused and it works incredible that's a sickness Quran addresses next

[67:19]verse Allah says God is now telling me hey hey you're misbehaving

[67:40]get back to your roots understand who you are and how systems

[67:46]work remembrance reminding reiteration hey did you understand our policy go back

[67:54]to the policy you're in violation while no that the prophet is

[67:59]among you were he to listen to your Whimsical suggestions that be

[68:05]much problems much you go into distress but Allah has endeared Faith

[68:11]he has made Faith endearing to you he has made you fall

[68:17]in love with your religion endearing and made it seamly in your

[68:20]hearts and he has made hateful to you unbelief transgression Disobedience what

[68:28]are those qualities the qualities of a j and Allah says to

[68:35]jahil I despise you and whoever goes in that direction with you

[68:38]I will punish them but these are the systems I will allow

[68:44]my creationss that I endow with limited free will they will have

[68:47]both that's the system of God and it's brilliant the way it

[68:53]works oh my God it's masterful and it's all just the rhythm

[69:00]is God's Mercy Mercy Mercy when you and I see problems and

[69:05]you know situations I give an example IM Ali Alam say something

[69:09]if one becomes sad about this world Imam Ali says um one

[69:15]second here just I just lost it muham muham he says if

[69:26]one becomes sad about this world he becomes angry with what Allah

[69:29]decrees this is In N and one who complains about a Calamity

[69:33]that has befallen him he complains against his Lord and one who

[69:39]goes to a wealthy man and humbles himself to him on account

[69:42]of his wealth wipes out 2third of his belief system when you

[69:47]go to a rich person and you bow to them for money

[69:48]you have given up 2third of your faith Imam Ali says if

[69:55]one recites the Quran and such a person ENT ERS hell is

[69:58]the one who used to mock the signs of Allah for you

[70:02]cannot read the Quran and enter hell that means if you read

[70:04]the Quran and you went to hell it's because you were mocking

[70:08]it you were reading it to make fun of it you were

[70:10]not reading it to submit to it IM Ali is talking about

[70:13]this if one keeps talking about his love for the world his

[70:17]heart will become burnt by it in three instances a worry which

[70:22]he will never overcome a miserliness which never abandon abandons him and

[70:28]a hope which he never realizes so true I've seen people like

[70:32]that in this world they have wealth they have power they have

[70:37]everything they're not happy I met a girl many years ago his

[70:39]father was a billionaire I went to his house I mean you

[70:43]know there were guests coming he says brother let's go to the

[70:45]corner so nobody sees us I said what corner I can be

[70:48]in the middle and nobody sees me this house is so big

[70:49]like 60,000 Square F feet like a mall so rich one daughter

[70:56]and I'm there and she's young she's a teenager sad very depressed

[71:02]so I asked I said who is she say that's the daughter

[71:07]of the owner said why is she so sad this Palace she's

[71:09]the sole inheritor of all of this grandness so I sat with

[71:14]her she said what is all this this doesn't give me happiness

[71:17]my parents are busy making billions of dollars I don't see value

[71:25]in this I want my parents to be with me and have

[71:26]time with me and spend time with you know to the love

[71:31]that we should have we don't have that the material world has

[71:34]engulfed us this is a teenage girl and I'm looking at her

[71:38]and I'm feeling so sad for her but how many of us

[71:42]would love to be in her shoes but she's depressed why as

[71:46]Imam says you will never be happy until you put now no

[71:50]one's saying don't live in a big house don't get me wrong

[71:53]no one's saying don't drive a nice fancy car no no no

[71:58]I said that many times no that's not the point let it

[72:02]not be your what we call your goal in life because if

[72:04]it becomes your goal in life you're a loser I'm going to

[72:09]end on this very briefly IM aliam say something very beautiful it's

[72:13]a principle I'll touch on it very fast he says you cannot

[72:43]encapsulate the meaning of life in a more succinct way than the

[72:49]way IM Ali did it he says what shall I describe this

[72:52]world whose beginning is grief and whose end is destruction because everything

[72:56]you and I have on this Earth will be destroyed including our

[73:00]bodies the lawful actions which you perform here they have to be

[73:07]accounted for while the Forbidden ones there's a punishment whoever is Rich

[73:12]here will face mischief and whoever is poor will get grief has

[73:20]in h then the last part is really elegant one who who

[73:28]runs after this world will not get it as the prophet said

[73:32]run after the world it'll run away from you run away from

[73:35]the world it'll come after you if one keeps away from it

[73:41]then it advances towards you and here's the final part if you

[73:46]see through the world Allah gives you sight but if you look

[73:53]at the world you will become blind that's deep love of the

[74:00]world is blinding but the means of the world becomes enlightening using

[74:04]the wealth of God using the world using beings brothers sisters friends

[74:11]using them for the love of Allah is advancing but falling in

[74:15]love with the World Deadly now final Point here in Surat one

[74:23]more point I want to make about the disease I'll continue to

[74:27]talk about it tomorrow because my time is up I'm just going

[74:44]to introduce this today very very beautiful when two groups of Believers

[74:49]fight this is a big problem we all have when two you

[74:54]and I are Muslims and Believers often we fight with each other

[74:58]there's one thing to fight with a non-believer with a disbeliever with

[75:01]an enemy of God but there's another to fight with your own

[75:03]Believers how do you deal with it God is showing me the

[75:09]standards of how to eradicate that the the essential nature of Haram

[75:13]and how to deal with it because the minute you understand it

[75:18]and you make it very very conspicuously aware of what the Haram

[75:21]is in life and you do your best to avoid it as

[75:24]much as you can by Nature you will just naturally gravitate towards

[75:28]the good here this is a long story I will introduce this

[75:33]tomorrow inshallah uh just to kind of keep you thinking in huat

[75:36]this one by the way was in its fullest exposure when Imam

[75:41]Al alisam fought one of the wives of the prophet in the

[75:47]Battle of jaml in Bas the fullest extension of this verse came

[75:53]to fruition when Imam Ali fought her this verse I want you

[75:58]to understand the evils of society by the way many more verses

[76:01]backbiting fault finding suspicion do not spy on each other do not

[76:09]consider yourself Superior don't tell God how things should be Surat talks

[76:14]about all of the negative qualities if we focus on them and

[76:20]really kind of submit inshallah you and I in this blessed month

[76:23]of Ramadan we'll have a much higher status us of spirituality I

[76:27]hope the introduction of what I stated will sink into our heads

[76:32]and thank Allah subhana tala for putting such a fantastic system together

[76:36]and you and I party to it and let's submit to it

[76:38]properly honestly as I grew up as a teenager reading all these

[76:44]I really got I felt very empowered because once you understand the

[76:48]engine and the Machinery of how God transacts With Us you become

[76:51]a completely different person [Music] Alay
