[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
