[29:04]for Allah Muhammad Muhammad to go down like 10 inch.
[30:03]Brothers and sisters, Muhammad amlaykum.
[30:33]Brothers and sisters, tonight is the 24th night of this holy month
[30:42]of Ramadan.
[30:42]This is the last stretch to the end of this month and
[30:47]um we just wrapped up yesterday the sixth night of Alkad.
[30:54]This this year we were lucky to have um do or do
[31:00]six nights of Alad.
[30:59]such a blessing.
[31:01]I was able, alhamdulillah, to do all six of them.
[31:03]I don't know if you uh were able, but hopefully at least
[31:08]you did at least three out of these six um and took
[31:14]full advantage of these holy nights.
[31:16]Uh this program, oh, this year, alhamdulillah, the the uh program uh
[31:22]for especially for Kad was so successful.
[31:26]Um, alhamdulillah, the the community showed up as you noticed yesterday.
[31:32]Um, I received a lot of positive feedback uh regarding the everything
[31:37]pretty much from the good speakers to the good reciders uh how
[31:41]the place was organized everything.
[31:44]Alhamdulillah.
[31:45]This is such a blessing um for you know for someone who
[31:50]u is part of the board and part of um the group
[31:55]that planned these events.
[31:55]I can't be happier to see this um community that we serve
[32:01]is is happy.
[32:01]Alhamdulillah this is such a blessing.
[32:03]And one of the things that I really um noticed uh and
[32:08]I loved in these especially last night the large number of the
[32:12]youth uh that were in attendance and uh they all participated.
[32:18]There was a group of maybe 20 uh of the youth, the
[32:20]boys sitting right on the corner by the mah reading the dua
[32:26]and I was it was so joyful just looking at them reciting
[32:31]dua with passion.
[32:34]This is the moment that it tells you that alhamdulillah this is
[32:38]what gets us moving.
[32:40]This is what gets us going.
[32:41]Those youth are uh the future.
[32:43]And when we took the decision to go big and build a
[32:49]a bigger a larger center, we did not only think of a
[32:54]short-term 3 to 5 years, but we planned for the next 20,
[32:56]30, maybe 50 years.
[32:59]This is when those youth are going to be mothers and and
[33:01]fathers and uh we're going to be grandfathers pretty soon.
[33:06]So this is an investment that the community needed and alhamdulillah so
[33:11]far the community has been very very supportive.
[33:16]You've noticed the amount of uh the the generous uh donors every
[33:21]night for these programs and for their support.
[33:26]Um for that we we want to thank everyone uh as we
[33:28]getting toward the end of this month who uh attended first and
[33:34]who participated and who uh donated and uh we ask Allah to
[33:39]accept all your the donors of for tonight are uh the Muhammad
[33:44]family khalifi and we have an anonymous uh donor as well for
[33:51]the for the souls of the Marin For the souls of for
[33:57]the souls of the and the let's recite after um the U
[34:21]Hassan is um still um he's he's not here yet.
[34:26]So inshallah we have a minute or two until he um comes
[34:31]in.
[34:31]I just want to remind you that tonight after the lecture um
[34:36]Haj Hassan is going to stay here for a Q&A session.
[34:42]This is a good opportunity to um prepare some of the some
[34:45]of good questions.
[34:47]Um I'll talk to him probably with do about half an hour
[34:50]or so.
[34:51]Uh but make sure you um get some good question um for
[34:58]that session.
[34:57]Um okay, I meant to have a short uh MC today, but
[35:01]looks like uh I'm going to keep going.
[35:03]So uh I wanted to give you a break from asking you
[35:09]um to donate for our um uh gym campaign which you are
[35:18]familiar with it now.
[35:17]Um so uh well our guest speaker is here.
[35:21]So he saved me from doing that tonight.
[35:24]I'll save it for another night.
[35:26]And um inshallah we will start uh soon when Hassan um settles
[35:31]here.
[35:32]And uh for now let's do uh aloud three salathammed.
[35:49]Let's welcome um hash hass once again with Allah salathammed.
[36:11]Father, [sighs] Alham Alhamdulillah.
[36:36]Alhamdulillah.
[36:50]Molana Muhammad [clears throat] [snorts] Subhan Muhammad Ali Muhammad All praise belongs
[37:36]to Allah subhana tala and we thank him that he has given
[37:41]us this opportunity that though we disobey him he is oft forgiving
[37:45]and as I mentioned yesterday [snorts] is really the modus upon which
[37:52]you and I need to live by.
[37:54]It's a standard that is so essential because when we practice which
[38:01]is protection and forgiveness, we become vigilant in our behavior.
[38:06]In the Quran, Allah says, This is a beautiful verse in the
[38:32]Quran where Allah says, "Hasten to protection, hasten to forgiveness upon which
[38:37]there is a paradise that awaits you that is larger than the
[38:42]earth and the sky put together.
[38:43]And it is a calling for the God conscious.
[38:48]Who are they?
[38:52]They spend they give charity in good times and in bad times.
[39:03]They hold back their anger.
[39:06]Meaning that they don't get angry easily because they know the function
[39:13]and purpose of life.
[39:13]They have patience.
[39:13]They see the hereafter.
[39:16]And that to me is the ultimate behavior of a is when
[39:19]you and I can hold our anger.
[39:22]If we can hold our anger, it means we have trust in
[39:24]God.
[39:25]It means we believe in a tomorrow.
[39:27]And it means that we know this anger is temporal.
[39:31]And we know that it will lead to destruction should we engage
[39:35]in it.
[39:36][snorts] And holding back anger is one of the greatest characteristics of
[39:40]a human being.
[39:42]The holy prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam has stated that the strongest human
[39:46]being is the one who can hold their anger.
[39:52]And then the next element that I think is extremely important in
[39:57]Allahh mentions is means they forgive mankind.
[40:05]When [snorts] you look around and you hold grudges, if I hold
[40:12]grudges and I'm I have a hard time forgiving people because I
[40:16]feel that I was abused or I feel that, you know, people
[40:21]were not nice to me.
[40:22]What happens is that it actually damages me because when you don't
[40:28]let go, you end up being the victim.
[40:30]So if we're very vindictive, meaning that we have this vindiction within
[40:34]us that we cannot let go because we feel there's been a
[40:40]breach of justice, then we also have to understand that we are
[40:43]not necessarily the most just either.
[40:45]That means that there's a possibility that you and I may have
[40:51]hurt other people.
[40:50]And what is the best thing that we want when we hurt
[40:55]other people is we want them to forgive us.
[40:58]Because that is the reality of life, isn't it?
[40:59]that we ask that people should forgive us.
[41:02]Well, on that same basis, if we want people to forgive us,
[41:07]then we should be ever so willing to forgive.
[41:11]So when Allah says, well they and it's not only you know,
[41:16]you're not only forgiving your family members, you're forgiving mankind.
[41:20]Allah is talking about the universal principle of forgiveness.
[41:24]Forgiveness is such a high character.
[41:29]So you'll notice that leads to being charitable leads to being patient
[41:35]and swallowing anger.
[41:42]Immafisam is known as al- kadim.
[41:44]His title is alim for he swallowed anger.
[41:47]That is his title.
[41:47]For in his time he suffered.
[41:52]He was imprisoned for decades and he was patient and he was
[41:56]not vindictive.
[41:58]There was a woman who was sent you know by by Harun
[42:06]was sent to entice Imam Mus Nafer al Kadim in prison.
[42:11]She was an indecent woman and was sent into the prison.
[42:21]But our imam was so cognizant of God that he takes this
[42:24]woman who visits him in prison and he makes her into a
[42:30]believer, a subservient servant of God.
[42:34]He changes her because I im musafer alim was not a man
[42:37]of vindictiveness.
[42:38]Our imams, none of them were vindictive.
[42:41]The holy prophet peace be upon him sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
[42:50]>> Think about it.
[42:53]When he conquered Mecca, the history shows that 13 years he was
[42:56]subjected in a very tyrannical way.
[43:00]The people of Mecca were vicious on him.
[43:03]In fact, one time he was saying his prayers with Imam Ali
[43:09]Alisam and Khadijah and one of the Meccan pagans came and took
[43:14]the entrails of a sheep.
[43:20]The endrails meaning the u the inside of the animal and threw
[43:24]it on the holy prophet.
[43:24]Threw it on him while praying.
[43:28]Historician say Fatima was very young at that time and she ran
[43:35]and you know consoled her father but the prophet never got angry.
[43:39]There was so much evil done on the prophet in Mecca for
[43:45]13 years.
[43:47]So much it's it's not even a lot of it is not
[43:48]recorded.
[43:49]We don't have it.
[43:52]But we know that the makans were vicious.
[43:55]They were so vicious that they used to throw rocks at him.
[43:57]They used to do all kinds of things at him.
[44:02]All types.
[44:02]History shows that after he conquered Mecca, the likes of Abu Sufyan
[44:09]who were leading Mecca and the likes of the people of Abu
[44:13]Jahal, Abu Jahal was dead of course after as you know um
[44:17]he died by the way after the battle of Badr.
[44:24]And you will notice that even then the holy prophet when he
[44:27]conquers Mecca he forgives them all.
[44:30]I remember I used to speak online and there was a young
[44:36]boy 17 year old boy who was saying that I'm a Muslim
[44:40]and we asked him what's your history?
[44:43]He said I was born in a family of atheists.
[44:45]My parents were atheists.
[44:48]I was an atheist.
[44:49]He says one day I was watching this movie called the message
[44:54]which is as you know the biography of the holy prophet made
[44:59]as a movie by Mustafa Akad.
[45:02]He was an Egyptian who made the movie.
[45:05]And you will see that when uh when the messenger enters Mecca
[45:12]and he forgives the Meccans, this boy 17 years old was watching
[45:22]it.
[45:18]And he realized that util utilitarian reality is that you don't forgive.
[45:27]When somebody's done bad to you, you give them justice, right?
[45:30]He was so impressed by the holy prophet's kindness that when he
[45:38]forgave, he became very intrigued with Islam.
[45:40]He said, "I went into the biography of this man and I
[45:43]studied him and the more I studied him, the more I realized
[45:48]how great a human being he is and I could not stop
[45:50]myself but to become a Muslim.
[45:52]For when I watched the the prophet forgive the makans, [snorts] it
[45:57]took me to Islam." Think about it.
[46:01]14 centuries later, I mean, we're talking about 14 centuries.
[46:04]Within that time when the prophet forgave to today, probably hundreds of
[46:09]thousands of people accepted Islam just by this one act of the
[46:13]holy prophet, which was to forgive the makans, right?
[46:17]To forgive them.
[46:19]In fact, the man who was a pagan who held the key
[46:22]to the cabba ran away thinking that the holy prophet will chase
[46:27]him and take the key away from him because his dignity in
[46:29]Mecca was the fact that he was the keyholder who opened the
[46:35]door of the cabba.
[46:36]Historians say that the messenger asked for him and he had run
[46:41]away thinking that the holy prophet was going to punish him.
[46:43]The man comes to the holy prophet.
[46:45]The prophet said, "You will continue to keep the key and you
[46:51]will continue to open the door." Think about it.
[46:52]He didn't tell him that you must become a Muslim.
[46:55]He was a pagan.
[46:57]He was an idol worshipper.
[46:58]But the prophet said, "You will continue to hold the key to
[47:00]the Cabba." This is Islam.
[47:03]Islam is not where any person who comes to the masjid has
[47:06]to become a believer and purified.
[47:08]This man was a mushri.
[47:11]But the prophet said, "You will continue to hold the key." The
[47:15]man was so impressed.
[47:17]He was an older man.
[47:17]He was so impressed by the generosity of the holy prophet that
[47:20]he became a Muslim soon thereafter.
[47:26]This is the power when Allah says, "Invite people to the way
[47:29]of your Lord kind exhortation." Meaning that when you and I act
[47:38]in a forgiving manner, in a welcoming manner, and we are not
[47:47]vindictive, and we don't hold people with grudges, and we're ever willing
[47:52]to forgive them, we free ourselves.
[47:54]We begin to own ourselves.
[47:55]For when we let go of vindictiveness, when we let go of
[48:02]grudges and we forgive people, it is cathartic.
[48:06]As we say in English, it's catharsis.
[48:09]What is catharsis?
[48:11]It's when this disease that is in me, something that's holding in
[48:16]me that's choking me suddenly comes out and I feel relieved.
[48:19]It's cathartic forgiveness.
[48:23]So Allah says, "Hasten to for is the modus of life." Now
[48:32]all of this is mentioned in the Quran.
[48:36]And then the last part of the verse, Allah says, "God loves
[48:40]the gooddoers." Look how beautiful this verse is.
[48:44]It starts with hasten to forgiveness upon which a paradise awaits you.
[48:48]And Allah continues and shows that you give charity in good times
[48:52]and in bad times.
[48:54]I remember a brother who was very who was starting his business
[48:59]many years ago and the accountant told me he says I love
[49:02]my boss.
[49:03]I said why do you love him?
[49:04]He said when we were started our business we were losing money.
[49:10]We were in the red.
[49:10]We didn't we were not profitable.
[49:13]He said but my boss my owner the owner of the company
[49:18]insisted that at the end of the year he gave his humus.
[49:25]Now hum as you know is one of windfall meaning that when
[49:28]you work and make money [snorts] okay the money that you make
[49:33]you spend for your livelihood what is left at the end of
[49:39]the year there is a 20% zakat on it now I I
[49:45]want to explain this very carefully people think that hums is separate
[49:50]from zakat okay it is Not zakat is the universal terminology used
[49:56]in the Quran.
[50:00]Okay.
[49:57]Zakat the root word is purification.
[50:01]When you purify something okay when Allah purifies you the root word
[50:12]is uh in other words purification zakat.
[50:14]So you notice that when Allah says you must give zakat it
[50:18]means you must give charity to purify yourself.
[50:23]Now zakat has a universal principle.
[50:26]Within the universal word of zakat there is because what does means
[50:32]means 1/5 infall when Allah states that you must giveth of the
[50:42]windfold.
[50:44]Right?
[50:43]Meaning that whatever you have earned one you must give to charity.
[50:51]Here Allah subhana ta is describing a percentage 20% because 1/5if means
[50:57]20%.
[50:58]But what is 20%?
[50:58]When you say I give my hums of what?
[51:03]It's it's a zakats is a zakat.
[51:09]Please understand that.
[51:12]Then we have zakat.
[51:13]We have zakat.
[51:13]So you notice that zakat mal zakat mal is gold, silver, um
[51:22]wheat, rice, matters that you hoard, that you store, that you have
[51:28]not used for the end of the year.
[51:30]That's 2 and a half%.
[51:31]You have to give 2 and a half% of that on an
[51:36]annual basis.
[51:36]The 20% is the windfall you made in your earning.
[51:40]Now some people say that this is only in battle that when
[51:45]you go and fight in battle.
[51:47]That's not true.
[51:46]Malikim doesn't mean only in battle.
[51:51]It means anything you earn.
[51:52]At that time in the prophet's time there were people who used
[51:55]to make a living in battle.
[51:58]That when they went to fight and they would win whatever they
[52:02]collected in the windfall of the battle that was their income.
[52:07]And from that Allah says if you don't utilize it if it
[52:12]is it it is beyond what you need then there is 20%
[52:18]one-time purification you must give.
[52:19]So notice that purification in Islam is beautiful that there's a 20%
[52:25]levy upon the believers one time by the way.
[52:29]So let's say I earned $100,000 and I spent $50,000 in the
[52:36]year for my livelihood.
[52:36]I am left with $50,000.
[52:39]I have to give 20% of that 50,000 towards meaning is the
[52:47]20% which is my zakat.
[52:51]So in other words, I have to give that one time, right?
[52:54]So that's $10,000.
[52:56]Once the 10,000 is given, the remaining 40,000 is pure forever.
[53:03]Forever.
[53:04]Unless it grows further.
[53:06]Should it grow further, then there is again another 20% but only
[53:10]on the differential, not the original $40,000 that's left.
[53:17]Now researchers have done studies that what does society have to contribute
[53:22]to eliminate poverty on earth?
[53:28]Researchers, economists have done studies that what should the human race contribute
[53:34]in their ways of giving that will eliminate poverty on earth and
[53:43]subhan Allah the number that came is 20%.
[53:46]Look how Allah subhana ta understands humanity that when Allah says give
[53:53]1/5if because if that 1/5if is truly given poverty will be eradicated
[53:57]on earth but you and I may be asking that there is
[54:01]a lot of poverty on earth human beings are giving charity well
[54:05]unfortunately the problem we have is not only in the giving but
[54:09]in the distribution.
[54:09]If the distributors of charity are not careful and they don't embezzle
[54:17]in other words or they don't siphon the money in wrong directions
[54:21]and the the the the proper recipients are given their due you
[54:26]will see that not a single human being on earth will be
[54:31]poor.
[54:32]So when Allah says they give charity in good times and in
[54:37]bad times, Allahh is telling me that that isar meaning what isar?
[54:45]What is seeking protection?
[54:49]What is asking for forgiveness?
[54:50]What is the transaction of forgiveness?
[54:53]Allahh says give charity in good times and in bad times.
[54:58]Now that brother who used to give his hummus even in bad
[55:01]times you might say but he doesn't have to but he told
[55:07]his accountant it doesn't matter I'm going to take it out of
[55:12]my savings but I must continue to give this is just a
[55:14]personal uh belief of an individual who wants to serve Allah today
[55:21]he is one of the wealthiest people in North America okay he's
[55:26]close to billions of dollars and I'm not exaggerating that's how rich
[55:31]he is and when you look at him you know whether wealth
[55:36]has come or not we we don't want to transact with Allah
[55:38]saying that you know I want to give charity so that Allah
[55:42]gives me more although Allah says that in the Quran that I
[55:46]will multiply it sevenfolds many folds Allahh says who will give a
[55:57]goodly loan to Allah.
[55:57]Allah doesn't need a loan.
[56:00]Means interestfree loan.
[56:05]Allah is asking us that if you want to doar, you must
[56:10]practice it.
[56:11]You must pray.
[56:14]You must purify.
[56:13]You must fast.
[56:16]You must go to Hajj if you can.
[56:19]Visiting the graves of our imm is part and parcel of and
[56:22]iman.
[56:23]And I'll talk about this briefly about the visitation of graves in
[56:29]Zarat because you know among the five schools of thought unfortunately the
[56:34]other four most of them especially the the ones who come from
[56:38]Muhammad bin Abdul Wahab school of thought or the Salafi school of
[56:42]thought think that the Shia are committing a blasphemous act by going
[56:49]to rever the dead ones or by going and praying to the
[56:53]dead ones.
[56:53]which is very interesting.
[56:55]You will see that the Quran actually counters that the Quran actually
[57:00]proves that the ones that we revere are not dead.
[57:05]First of all, prophets and imams are born alive and they're always
[57:10]alive.
[57:16]Do not say those who die in the way of God are
[57:19]dead.
[57:20]No, they're alive.
[57:22]Now dying in the way of God doesn't mean you go on
[57:24]a battlefield and the enemy kills you.
[57:25]Dying in the way of Allah is doing everything for Allah even
[57:29]if you die on your deathbed.
[57:31]So the holy prophet as you know died of poisoning but his
[57:37]death was technically on a deathbed but he's alive.
[57:41]He's not dead.
[57:41]We send salam to him in salah.
[57:46]If we don't send If we don't send salam to the prophet,
[57:49]our prayer is nullified.
[57:52]You have to send salam to the holy prophet.
[57:54]How do you send salam to a prophet who has died?
[57:56]Think about it, right?
[57:59]He is not dead.
[57:59]So we'll talk about that.
[58:03]But let's get to this point ofar that is built around charity
[58:08]in good times and in bad times.
[58:11]And Allah subhana ta loves it.
[58:12]Now let's go a little bit deeper into this behavior.
[58:15]You will notice that our prophets and imams were the the best
[58:23]example of people who gave charity.
[58:24]They were the ones who were constantly giving right?
[58:29]Allah talks about them all the time in the Quran filled.
[58:35]For example, even as you know in right, Allah says they give
[58:49]food for the love of God and they keep their promises.
[59:04]meaning the poor, the orphan and the wayfairer.
[59:08]They give charity.
[59:10]Charity is the principle in the Quran.
[59:12]Allah says in Allah starts with you.
[59:29]See They have no doubt in the Quran.
[59:41]Who are they?
[59:43]They believe in the unseen.
[59:47]Okay?
[59:48]They they maintain prayer and they give charity.
[59:53]They spend.
[59:55]Now go deeper into this and understand that Allah subhanana wa ta'ala
[60:01]did not have to create us.
[60:03]As I mentioned yesterday, the only reason Allah created us was because
[60:08]he's merciful and he wills to share his treasury through his creations.
[60:13]And there is no string attached.
[60:15]No strings attached between my creator and the created.
[60:22]Every string is attached upon myself.
[60:23]For Allah says when you do good, you do good for yourself.
[60:31]So Allah is telling me to do good.
[60:36]So that means Allah wants me to reward myself.
[60:37]Think about the circularity of this beautiful example that no matter how
[60:42]much good I do for Allah, it always comes to benefit me.
[60:47]This is incredible.
[60:47]There is no transaction with Allah for Allah says transact with yourself
[60:54]purify yourself.
[60:55]You see all you who believe save yourselves and your family from
[61:07]the fire of hell.
[61:10]Meaning Allahh is telling me that my mercy is one direction that
[61:17]I give you with no strings attached.
[61:21]If you study the principles of mercy, the closest ones to this
[61:27]transaction of God creating me with no strings attached are our mothers
[61:32]and fathers.
[61:32]Especially the mother.
[61:34]When the mother gives birth to a child, she has involved herself
[61:41]in the principles of the mercy of God.
[61:45]For even her womb is called Raham.
[61:49]Think about it.
[61:51]The womb is called mercy.
[61:53]Think about that.
[61:55]All right?
[61:57]aram it's plural that when a child is born in the womb
[61:59]Allah uses the term you know meaning the womb is called mercy
[62:05]and when a mother gives birth pain upon pain for two years
[62:19]the mother suffered in weaning this child Allah subhana ta is showing
[62:24]us the gravity of the mercy of the mother that through pain
[62:29]she connected with the child and pain is a connector by the
[62:34]way you might see what why should a mother go through pain
[62:37]you will find if the mother didn't have pain she would not
[62:41]be so committed to the child look at the rah of Allah
[62:44]that when the mother goes through pain it is what connects her
[62:47]with the child for if the mother just gleefully gave birth you
[62:52]know she wakes up one morning and you know the baby's in
[62:54]the womb home and the next day the baby is born.
[62:57]The mom would say it's like uh you know there's not but
[63:01]if you look at the animal kingdom too they go through pain.
[63:04]When animals give birth they go through pain.
[63:08]Only certain creatures may give birth you know in large quantities or
[63:12]maybe through eggs and so on.
[63:15]But you will notice their behavior that as soon as those children
[63:18]are born the parent leaves them does not spend time with those
[63:25]children that they gave birth to.
[63:27]But the mothers who go through pain like pandas and animals you
[63:30]will notice you will notice that they will lick their children protect
[63:34]them be with them until they become adults or until they become
[63:38]independent.
[63:39]Subhan Allah.
[63:42]So notice that the mercy of Allah is built around that connection
[63:46]but the mother is the closest to the mercy of Allah subhana
[63:49]tala for you when you asked most mothers there are unfortunately jahil
[63:56]people on earth stupid you know who don't appreciate their own children
[64:00]who harm them you know who do bad things to them they
[64:08]are unfortunately lost in their fra but in general In the general
[64:13]human when Allah says we have enjoined upon mankind towards their parents
[64:32]meaning be grateful to me and your parents.
[64:35]So notice the closest relationship to the mercy of God that is
[64:39]minimal transactional is the mother and the father.
[64:44]Father is also very much in stress.
[64:47]While the mother is carrying the child, the father is stressed.
[64:54]The tension of ensuring that the child is safe.
[64:55]The tension of ensuring that the child is born.
[64:59]that while the mother is going through pain in carrying this child
[65:03]in the womb, the father is stressed for the father is the
[65:09]guardian, the father is the protector.
[65:11]The father is the one who has to now hold the entire
[65:13]family together to ensure that no harm comes to them.
[65:19]That's huge.
[65:18]Research shows that men die used to die earlier than women because
[65:26]of this stress.
[65:25]The level of stress the men have in protecting and in providing
[65:32]for the family is so stressful that it kills them earlier than
[65:38]the women.
[65:37]Unfortunately, today because of dual income families, the women are dying at
[65:43]the same age as men because they're also now carrying the burden
[65:48]of finances.
[65:47]Unfortunately, we're trying to keep up with the Joneses, but history shows
[65:53]that.
[65:53]But here Allahh is showing mercy of Allah subhana wa ta'ala has
[65:57]no strings attached.
[65:59]And when I see a mother you'll see the child will disobey
[66:01]the mother will even harm the mother but the mother will always
[66:05]welcome the child back.
[66:08]And the mother is only concerned about the future of the child
[66:11]and the mother is willing to give her own soul for this
[66:16]child.
[66:17]She's willing to die for the child.
[66:19]In other words, no transaction.
[66:21]The mother doesn't want anything back for she sees that child as
[66:26]an extension of herself.
[66:27]So the rahma of Allah subhana wa ta'ala on a much higher
[66:32]scale is when God created me out of his mercy and tells
[66:37]me that do good for yourselves and that when you do good
[66:41]I am pleased.
[66:42]God loves the good doers but the good doers benefit and the
[66:48]net return is for the self themselves and not to Allah.
[66:52]I hope you understand this important point here.
[66:54]If we really understand this my dear brothers and sisters you and
[66:59]I will become charitable for by nature now we will love to
[67:06]give.
[67:05]University of Georgia did a study where they gave $500 to two
[67:10]groups of people.
[67:10]One group was told to go buy something for themselves and the
[67:14]other group was told to go buy something for somebody they love
[67:18]or somebody they care for.
[67:20]And there was a prepundonderance of data on this clearly showing unanimously
[67:26]almost unanimously that those who spent money for others were more satisfied
[67:32]than those who spent money for themselves.
[67:34]Meaning the group that spent money for themselves to go buy something
[67:38]for themselves did not feel as satisfied as the ones who went
[67:44]and spent for others.
[67:44]Meaning you and I are hardwired to be charitable.
[67:48]You and I are hardwired to be philanthropic and caring and giving
[67:53]and sharing because by nature when we share we own that individual
[67:59]in terms of the spirit of that person.
[68:02]that when an orphan child is protected and that when you and
[68:05]I give charity to support that child to ensure that they grow
[68:08]up safe and to ensure that we give them with no strings
[68:14]attached because Allah says this is the opposite.
[68:21]Allah says kind speech and forgiveness.
[68:24]Listen to the verse here.
[68:27]Same is used again.
[68:31]Meaning kind speech and forgiveness is better than charity followed by injury.
[68:38]Notice the charity that puts a rope around somebody's neck.
[68:45]When somebody donates money, I've had so many people like this in
[68:50]my life where people donate money and they want something back.
[68:54]I've scratched your back.
[68:55]You must scratch my back.
[68:58]You owe me.
[68:59]This is unethical Islamic be.
[69:04]In other words, it's unethical in Islam.
[69:05]When you and I do favors for people.
[69:10]I recently did something for somebody and that person was so excited
[69:15]they kept saying, you know, I owe you, brother.
[69:18]I owe you.
[69:17]I said, sister, for the love of God, don't say that.
[69:22]But but what you've done is amazing.
[69:25]I said, "No, no, don't ever say that you owe me.
[69:30]You don't owe me anything.
[69:35]But you've done this.
[69:35]I said I did it for myself.
[69:38]When I did something for you, I'm the beneficiary.
[69:41]You don't owe me anything.
[69:44]I have no, in other words, I have no leverage over you
[69:49]because you did something." How many people in our community hold that
[69:53]upon us?
[69:55]I helped this guy.
[69:55]Did you know when he was this and did you know how
[69:59]much donation I gave?
[70:02]Huh?
[69:59]They didn't even mention my name.
[70:03]Allah says you lost it.
[70:07]Every time a human being holds somebody liable for a charity, Im
[70:11]Muhammad Bakarat wasam says that when you give charity and you hold
[70:15]somebody liable for each permutation, you devalue what you've given.
[70:22]Each time you say something against what you gave, you have devalued
[70:26]it.
[70:27]And on judgment day, you will have no reward because you didn't
[70:30]give it with the purity of heart.
[70:33]You gave it with the in with the implication of some net
[70:39]return.
[70:40]And Allah says if that was your indica implication then you received
[70:44]it.
[70:45]For if your implication was that my name should be plastered somewhere
[70:49]and everybody should remember my name.
[70:51]Well that that that is your reward.
[70:54]You will get nothing on judgment day.
[70:57]Now go into the rah of Allahh when Allah says I have
[71:02]made obligatory upon myself mercy.
[71:05]Here the principle of mercy is giving with no strings attached.
[71:11]When somebody says what is the best definition of mercy?
[71:14]You will say it means giving with no strings attached.
[71:19]So when you give you forget it.
[71:24]Somebody says remember you gave me.
[71:26]Oh really?
[71:27]I don't remember it.
[71:27]Let your right hand that gave, let your left hand not remember
[71:33]it, for that is true charity.
[71:35]Now, where does this come from?
[71:37]This comes from the rah of Allah subhana tala.
[71:40]Now, where does this true belief come from?
[71:43]Let me take it one step deeper.
[71:45]People who are stingy, the prophet said, one who is stingy is
[71:53]an enemy of God.
[71:56]stingy one who or who's one who's extravagant who has no value
[72:04]of money Allah says the one who's excessive in spending reckless like
[72:13]the the people who are you know who have stolen our our
[72:20]oil and our resources that belong to the Muslims and their families
[72:26]are making billions of dollars and they would light their cigarettes with
[72:31]$100 bills.
[72:32]I've watched it.
[72:33]They would light a cigarette with a $100 bill.
[72:36]They would laugh or their dining table would be so filled with
[72:40]food that they can barely touch it and then the rest they
[72:44]laugh as it's thrown in the garbage.
[72:46]I remember I was in Dubai one time and I was in
[72:50]a restaurant and people ordered so much food.
[72:52]I'm sitting there.
[72:52]I said, "It's impossible for anybody to eat this kind of food."
[72:55]And I asked the brother, he says, "No, that's the culture of
[73:00]the rich.
[73:01]They want to show off.
[73:01]They want to come in and they want to touch a little
[73:05]bit of the food and then walk away and just laugh and
[73:08]throw it." Allah says, "They are like the brothers of the devil.
[73:19]And indeed Shayan to his lord was ungrateful.
[73:25]Combine these two now and who are these people?
[73:33]People who practice such behavior don't believe in God.
[73:36]Because when you're bah meaning when you're stingy, when you don't like
[73:43]to share, you're selfish, you're self-centered, narcissistic.
[73:48]You will find that such people have no faith in God because
[73:53]they who claim to believe in God.
[73:56]You will say, "Oh, they say I believe in God." Their God
[74:00]has limited treasury.
[74:01]Their God when he gives to somebody, there is no more to
[74:06]give.
[74:07]This activates jealousy.
[74:08]You'll notice Allah in the Quran talks about if you study the
[74:18]history of the human race, you will see one of our biggest
[74:20]problems in society is jealousy.
[74:24]This character is antithetical to jealousy.
[74:29]Where does jealousy come from?
[74:31]It's interconnected with one who is stingy.
[74:37]Because when you're jealous, you're actually stingy with God.
[74:40]Because a jealous individual feels that when somebody has got it, there
[74:48]is no more to give.
[74:49]But if you believe that the treasury of God is infinite, then
[74:53]you will never be despondent about somebody better than you.
[74:56]For you will know that there's a lot more from where it
[75:01]came from.
[75:01]But notice in the essence of the person's belief system, the reason
[75:07]we're jealous is because we feel that there's no more room or
[75:11]I am of the nature that I don't want to come towards
[75:16]God.
[75:17]I don't want anybody accelerating in front of me because it'll make
[75:21]me look bad.
[75:20]Therefore, I'm jealous.
[75:24]So, the behavior of jealousy is to go and impede the individual
[75:28]who's going ahead of you.
[75:30]How?
[75:31]Through backbiting, through fault-f finding, through what we call character assassination or
[75:38]through actual physical harm.
[75:39]Imam Ali Alisatam was a classic example.
[75:43]The prophet loved him so much that when he was born in
[75:49]the Caba, he held him.
[75:50]He nurtured him.
[75:52]People were jealous that this young little boy who's following the messenger
[75:56]of Allah and loves him so much that when the prophet would
[75:59]walk on the streets, Imam Ali as a young boy would protect
[76:04]him.
[76:05]He would take seeds, you know, from dates.
[76:08]He would put it in his mouth and when the people would
[76:10]attack the prophet, he would shoot it from his mouth like bullets.
[76:15]Imam Ali Alisam would would go against the enemy and he would
[76:20]threaten them as a young child.
[76:22]People saw this relationship between the prophet and Imam Ali.
[76:25]While there was a 30-year difference, but they were like brothers.
[76:28]There was a 30-year difference between the prophet and Imam Aliam.
[76:32]But they were brothers.
[76:35]And Allahh is showing us a beautiful relationship.
[76:37]That jealousy was so deep.
[76:41]Just like the jealousy of Imam Hassan and Imm Hussein Alisam.
[76:45]When the holy prophet would carry them, people would see that's the
[76:49]prophet of God and these are his grandchildren.
[76:51]But he would call them his own sons.
[76:54]He would not call them my grandsons.
[76:55]He would call them my sons because the prophet gave up two
[77:00]of his sons to replace them with Imam Hassan and Imam Hussein.
[77:03]As you know, the holy prophet lost two of his sons.
[77:05]Gibbrael came and said, "Which of the two do you want?" He
[77:09]said, "I want Hassan and Hussein." So Allah took his sons Kasim
[77:12]and Abdullah as you know took them.
[77:15]You find that you'll find that the holy prophet held Imam Hassan
[77:21]and Imam Hussein with such love and reverence that people were jealous.
[77:26]The jealousy was intense.
[77:27]I want us to think deeply within our soul.
[77:31]How jealous are we?
[77:32]You hear somebody just got into the best school or somebody got
[77:38]the best job or somebody got married to this person that they
[77:41]have been, you know, you found this person, let's say for for
[77:47]a, you know, if you're if you're a boy or a male
[77:51]and you saw this woman or this girl who is the most
[77:53]sought after and you wished you could have this girl, but your
[77:58]best friend married her.
[78:01]You know what happens?
[78:03]Start to instigate.
[78:06]You start to destroy that relationship.
[78:09]It is so common.
[78:12]Wall I'm sitting on this pulpit.
[78:14]I'm telling you from experience.
[78:15]It is the most vicious behavior I have ever seen on earth.
[78:21]You know, when you're the most sought after for marriage and everybody
[78:28]wants you and then you marry one and all the rest that
[78:30]were rejected, you know what the rejected ones do?
[78:34]They have a vendetta.
[78:34]They pull their swords out.
[78:36]They pull their poisons out and start now to make sure this
[78:41]marriage doesn't work.
[78:42]It is so prevalent in life.
[78:46]look around within families and see how many families have been destroyed
[78:52]within families because of jealousy or one brother has made more money
[78:56]or one sister has made more money and now you find that
[78:58]there's jealousy as to why this one has succeeded.
[79:01]You'll notice jealousy is interconnected with stinginess.
[79:07]It is interconnected with the lack of God's mercy.
[79:11]It is interconnected with the lack of wanting to share.
[79:16]They're all one and the same.
[79:18]They're all particles of the same behavior when you study it.
[79:20]People who are jealous are actually stingy because people who have mercy
[79:29]of Allah who give cannot be jealous because they are so quick
[79:34]in giving that they know that the treasury of Allah is infinite
[79:41]and they know that the mercy of Allah is upon us.
[79:43]A true believer when they see somebody progressing they say blessed is
[79:51]he who makes everything good.
[79:52]Oh Allah also give me.
[79:56]What's wrong to beg for that?
[79:57]Let me also step up to the plate.
[79:59]Oh Allah give this person more success.
[80:03]Make them even richer than they are.
[80:05]Make them happier than they are.
[80:08]Make them closer to you than they are.
[80:10]You know that kind of prayer is for who?
[80:12]When you and I pray for others for them to succeed, you
[80:17]know what the actual meaning of that prayer is?
[80:22]It is for myself.
[80:21]For when I pray for somebody and when I give charity as
[80:30]Allah says very clearly in numerous verses in when you do good,
[80:38]you do good for yourselves.
[80:39]When does Allah say that there is a moment where you do
[80:44]good, it doesn't come for you?
[80:46]This universal verse in the Quran implies that when I'm not jealous
[80:49]and I am appreciative of the successes of others, Allah says that's
[80:56]a good deed.
[80:55]Now I will give you more.
[81:00]Number one, stress goes down.
[81:01]You don't feel stressed because when we are jealous, we're stressed.
[81:04]The prophet said, what is meaning jealousy burns a person like fire
[81:16]burns wood.
[81:17]So when you and I practice jealousy, you will notice that it
[81:24]is actually inflicting wound upon my ourselves.
[81:27]I'll talk about it from the Quran and I will show you
[81:29]how Allah has chosen prophets from Adam and N.
[81:34]And Allah distributed them.
[81:34]And Allah talks about that.
[81:38]You see that you are jealous of the ones I have chosen.
[81:41]You are jealous of how how much they serve me.
[81:46]You are jealous of their faith towards me.
[81:49]You are jealous of the fact that they are so obedient to
[81:52]me.
[81:53]Jealousy.
[81:54]Eliss is a master of jealousy.
[81:57]When he refused to bow to Adam, what was it all about?
[82:02]H he said, "I'm jealous.
[82:05]I am better than this one." But deep down, he's jealous.
[82:08]His jealousy has led to the destruction of the human race until
[82:13]today.
[82:14]He's vindictive.
[82:18]He's nonforgiving.
[82:17]He's jealous.
[82:20]He's stingy.
[82:20]Notice all the negative characters where Allahh is talking in the Quran
[82:28]exactly the opposite.
[82:27]Thatar is when you give charity in good times and in bad
[82:35]times.
[82:32]is when you hold anger is when you forgive mankindar is when
[82:42]you do good deeds.
[82:45]But notice we don't do that if we don't believe in Allah.
[82:47]Now if we go deep into the rah of Allah and said
[82:52]my lord you created me when I wasn't worthy of existing.
[82:58]You shaped me when I'm not worthy of this body.
[82:59]You give me all the natural realities of oxygen and life and
[83:06]I don't deserve it.
[83:07]You think you and I will be jealous?
[83:09]No.
[83:10]We will be so excited because when the human race accelerates, it's
[83:18]for humanity.
[83:18]When somebody becomes wealthy through hard labor, not haram money.
[83:25]You find that when somebody becomes wealthy through natural struggle or through
[83:29]windfall by Allah be happy that this person now is going to
[83:35]give charity.
[83:36]The Muslim ummah is going to become stronger.
[83:39]This is the issue with regards to our behavior.
[83:41]But the whole issue you will notice that and I'll talk about
[83:46]jealousy inshallah in the la in the last few nights because I
[83:49]think it's a very very crucial um thing to focus on.
[83:56]You'll find the kaf of Im Ali Alisam was rejected because of
[84:00]jealousy.
[84:01]In fact the first the second Khalifa stated that you know what
[84:06]his famous statement was when the will of Imam Ali Alisam came
[84:12]they became very jealous and their statement even mentions this in the
[84:19]book called Omar the great Omar Ib Katab said that the whole
[84:25]prophethood came in this family you know by the way the entire
[84:28]prophethood is in one family you know people say royal royalty.
[84:32]You know, the Islamic Republic now has the sun.
[84:36]Oh, this is royalty.
[84:38]Wake up from your slumber, please.
[84:40]When you're qualified, it's a different matter.
[84:45]But prophethood, when you study it, you will see Allah kept it
[84:47]in a family for a reason.
[84:50]Why did Allah keep it in the family?
[84:54]You might ask, why didn't God just randomly choose people and make
[84:58]them into prophets?
[84:57]Why are prophets all from one family?
[85:02]Meaning the children one after the other Allah mentions in the Quran.
[85:09]You'll find that from Ibraim comes is comes is comes comes Yu
[85:13]right comes MS comes Isa.
[85:16]You find all the prophets are one family.
[85:17]They're all cousins.
[85:19]Is this royalty?
[85:21]No.
[85:22]The hikma of Allah is that when you and I follow a
[85:29]chosen tree, it's easier for us to understand that this is authentic.
[85:34]There's authenticity in it.
[85:36]Let me show you proof.
[85:40]When Mariam brings the child Issa, what was the argument of the
[85:45]ban?
[85:46]Say look at the argument that they use when Mariam brings his
[85:55]child.
[85:56]They say your father was a good man.
[85:59]Your mother was a good woman.
[86:01]Notice that the entire nature of Mariam's stature to the people was
[86:05]dependent on her parents.
[86:07]Meaning the interconnection of the family of Zakaria and the family of
[86:15]Ali Imran was so authentic that when Mariam who was known to
[86:19]be in the temple of Sullean in the temple when she brought
[86:22]the baby their connection was the whole tree.
[86:25]How could you do this when you come from such a pure
[86:30]tree?
[86:31]So Allah has made sure that prophethood remains in one family.
[86:35]It's very interesting.
[86:38]Now the Khalifas who took the from Im Aliat they made this
[86:45]statement that how could God give the whole to them and then
[86:53]the will to them?
[86:52]Allah says are you jealous with what God has given?
[86:57]Look at the highest form of disbelief.
[87:00]Highest form of disbelief is jealousy because deeprooted in jealousy is disbelief
[87:07]which leads to a behavior that is so costic that it causes
[87:14]fitna even in the religion of Allah subhana wa ta'ala they said
[87:18]how come this ali is so loved by the prophet we can't
[87:25]allow this we have to block it we have to stop this
[87:27]aal bait when the prophet and Allah is saying that the Bates
[87:32]are a command of God that you must obey them, that you
[87:35]must love them with ma.
[87:38]So notice that Allahh once again is describing to us that today
[87:45]we have these five schools of thought with all due respect.
[87:48]They're all Muslims by the way.
[87:50]We're all Muslims.
[87:53]Alhamdulillah.
[87:51]Because Allah says Who are the believers?
[88:04]Are the ones who believe in Allah and the holy prophet.
[88:10]Right?
[88:10]And they don't doubt and they struggle with theirelves.
[88:13]Alhamdulillah.
[88:14]The Muslim ummah all the five schools of thought are within this
[88:18]prescription in the Quran.
[88:19]Alhamdulillah.
[88:20]But it is interesting that while there was this diversity that took
[88:26]place, what drove this diversity, what is driving this diversity until today?
[88:31]Why are they so why is there such animosity for the lovers
[88:39]of B?
[88:41]Precisely the jealousy of Muin.
[88:43]Imam Hussein Alisam says when he's on the battlefield of Karbala he's
[88:47]looking at Omar Sad and he's looking at the enemies and said
[88:50]what wrong have we done to you for you to corner us
[88:54]in this way they said we were jealous of your father that
[88:59]he was so beloved to the holy prophet we cannot accept that
[89:01]that we have to attack it and it continues until today so
[89:07]I want to conclude today within this time that I have that
[89:11]Allah subhana wa ta'ala is showing ing us in our behavior withar
[89:16]that if we don't behave properly when it comes to forgiveness when
[89:22]it comes to charity when it comes to good doing and not
[89:28]being vindictive it is all interconnected to the rah of Allah subhana
[89:32]wa ta'ala and that when you and I do good what did
[89:36]the B say in We want no thanks nor reward.
[89:51]Meaning they're saying we are practicing rahma.
[89:52]Rahma here is from the perspective that Allah has given us too
[90:00]much and we owe Allah everything.
[90:01]Therefore, if we feed the poor and the orphan and the wayf
[90:06]farer, we have not done anyone a favor.
[90:09]For God has already done too much favor upon us and it
[90:15]behooves us should we not be responding meaning respond to me.
[90:25]the al the prophets and the imams and the true believers are
[90:28]the ones who believe in this that Allah has given me too
[90:33]much and I need to respond.
[90:34]So notice if you and I believe that Allah has given us
[90:36]too much he has given us more than what we deserve.
[90:41]Would we be stingy?
[90:45]No.
[90:43]Would we be giving and forgiving?
[90:48]Yes.
[90:49]Because we would feel overwhelmed by having received too much.
[90:53]When you and I feel the mercy of Allah subhana wa ta'ala,
[90:56]this is the actual meaning of it.
[91:00]I was going to talk about the Quran and inshallah tomorrow I
[91:04]will discuss the nuances of the Quran.
[91:07]But today this verse that I recited you will notice that just
[91:13]this one sentence if you if you break it up you know
[91:17]and it ends with it doesn't end but where I ended Just
[91:23]take this and make this your mantra in life.
[91:28]Is something I need to do all the time.
[91:30]Two elements ofar.
[91:34]One forgiveness.
[91:36]The other is protection that my lord protect me from future mistakes.
[91:41]Quran by the way mentions this very elegantly inah when Allah says
[91:57]people say that this is means a mistake I'll talk about this
[92:02]by the way if time permits about the mistakes of prophets did
[92:07]prophets make mistakes prophets don't make mistakes.
[92:11]They can, but they don't.
[92:12]They can, but they don't.
[92:17]Okay, please understand that.
[92:18]We'll talk about it.
[92:18]Very important.
[92:20]They have the capacity, but they don't.
[92:24]They never will.
[92:23]For Allah says, watch.
[92:27]They're not robots.
[92:26]They can, but they don't.
[92:30]Here in fat, Allah says, "Victory is upon you." After the treaty
[92:34]of Hudabia, this chapters surah number 48 was revealed.
[92:36]Very interesting.
[92:38]And the holy prophet as you know signed the treaty with the
[92:43]makans treaty of you notice that Allah says victory is upon you
[92:49]and soon thereafter in this surah by the way Allah says you
[93:00]will enter Mecca you will do you will do meaning meaning victory
[93:15]is near.
[93:16]Now in this verse the beginning part is very interesting.
[93:19]The meaning of is elegant in this verse.
[93:23]I just want to touch it and I'm going to end within
[93:27]two minutes.
[93:27]People think that Allah is saying that Allah will forgive you O
[93:32]prophet because in Arabic means sin when you sin them means when
[93:40]you have sinned meaning you've gone against the will of something good.
[93:45]Okay this is Allah talking to the prophet that we will forgive
[93:50]you your sins.
[93:56]Noticear here is mentioned very elegantly and I'm going to end with
[94:02]thisar here is protection because the word them here is used very
[94:07]interestingly the holy prophet was against these 365 idols in the cabba
[94:14]the holy prophet his intention was to purify the cabba because his
[94:21]grandfather built the cabba by the command of god shan intruded and
[94:26]adulterated ated the Cabba with these 365 false gods.
[94:33]Meaning the Caba now was occupi the Caba was infiltrated with filth
[94:38]of 365 gods.
[94:38]The messenger was sent to purify that to remove the 365 gods,
[94:46]destroy them, get them out for they are satanic.
[94:48]Interestingly, the Meccans considered the prophet a sinner because he was against
[94:58]their gods.
[95:00]So the them in the Quran here Allah is talking about is
[95:02]the sin that was attributed by the Makkans to the prophet.
[95:06]So the prophet didn't sin.
[95:09]It was the idol worshippers who considered the prophet a sinner.
[95:12]Now how do we know this?
[95:13]Look in the verse very quickly.
[95:16]Sorry if I'm going a little bit on this but it's in
[95:19]the tip of my tongue.
[95:22]You will find that the key word to this and this is
[95:24]a very interesting scenario is one you know you will notice that
[95:29]Allah mentions in the future.
[95:32]Now God can never forgive your future sins.
[95:36]How can God forgive my future sins?
[95:40]It's absurd.
[95:39]Allah never forgives my future sins.
[95:42]So that means the word means protection.
[95:46]So Allah says we will protect you from any accusation of sin
[95:55]now and in the future.
[95:59]It was interesting that when I spoke about prophets being infallible and
[96:02]so on at one of the universities in Maryland, an Egyptian woman
[96:05]who was from another school of thought came to me.
[96:09]She says, "I'm an expert in Arabic and I don't agree with
[96:11]you.
[96:12]I don't agree that prophets don't make mistakes.
[96:15]I believe prophets make mistakes.
[96:17]So I said, "Why?" She said fat.
[96:19]She quoted this same verse.
[96:21]So I looked at her.
[96:23]I said, "You're an Arabic expert." She said, "Yes." I said, "You
[96:26]missed a critical point." She said, "How?" I said, "How does God
[96:31]forgive future sins?" Because it's thear.
[96:33]And she was stunned.
[96:34]She stared at me.
[96:36]She said, "Oh my God, you're so right." I said, "This doesn't
[96:38]mean a sin.
[96:40]What it means is protection from future accusations.
[96:43]So notice the Quran is very elegant in its presentation.
[96:46]You have to read it right and understand how beautiful it is.
[96:54]But notice here the word means protection.
[96:55]In Allah says, now notice this verse.
[97:04]By the way, in the 66th chapter, Allah is talking about the
[97:07]prophet and the people entering paradise.
[97:10]They're now entering paradise.
[97:12]They're going into paradise.
[97:16]Okay.
[97:17]Allah says there is light coming from their faces.
[97:23]Okay.
[97:24]And their right hand from the right side.
[97:29]Right side entering paradise.
[97:36]Right?
[97:41]Once again is mentioned.
[97:44]Why would you want in paradise?
[97:46]Because if means forgiveness, you're already entering paradise.
[97:51]Why would you ask for?
[97:53]They're saying as they're entering paradise.
[97:55]Allah says this in the Quran in 66th chapter light is from
[97:58]their faces and from their right side.
[98:00]They're entering and saying our Lord perfect for us our light and
[98:07]give us thisar.
[98:08]Notice it doesn't mean forgiveness.
[98:12]It means protection.
[98:13]For when you enter paradise you also want protection.
[98:19]For my dispected sisters and brothers, I know as we are approaching
[98:50]ing the end of this Ramadan, we feel tired, exhausted, feeling that
[98:54]we have been doing so much and fasting.
[98:58]But please ask Allah to energize us and let us be deep
[99:00]in our thoughts and let us not lose this energy because Ramadan
[99:07]charges us for 11 months and let it be fully charged as
[99:10]we approach the end of this month.
[99:16]Some Q&A.
[99:17]>> Sure.
[99:19]uh if brother is saying if there's time if you have any
[99:23]questions or any comments to make two minutes three minutes yeah I
[99:26]know it's a bit I covered a lot of topics but if
[99:30]there is anything I've mentioned even in the previous nights if you
[99:34]want to ask just few minutes inshallah take take your time >>
[99:45]yes sister in the clarify.
[99:56]>> Yes.
[99:58]So Adamisam when you look at the spirit of Adam okay you
[100:04]have to take this verse Adam right Adamisam was created in the
[100:14]garden this is I'll talk about it uh this requires a little
[100:17]time to explain but let me summarize it as quickly as possible
[100:21]because you know in Ramadan sometimes your mind is you're tired you
[100:26]just broke your fast and you're not processing information is and I
[100:28]don't want it to go over your heads.
[100:30]I want it to go into your heads into your hearts because
[100:36]then I will have fulfilled my objectives.
[100:37]When Adam was created, before Adam was created, before Adam was created,
[100:44]Allah decreed that Adam should come to earth.
[100:48]Is it correct?
[100:50]withhalif I'm going to place on earth my so I want you
[100:59]to put this into perspective what do Christians Jews and Muslims say
[101:03]typically if I ask a child they'll say God put Adam in
[101:09]Jenna in a garden ja by the way means garden but it
[101:11]is not paradise here Jenna is not paradise it's a garden and
[101:16]that Adam disobeyed Allah And therefore he was kicked out of this
[101:20]garden.
[101:20]And since he was kicked out, we became we became marginal.
[101:29]We became doomed.
[101:27]We became, you know, sub sub um uh in other words, we
[101:34]are not we're no longer good.
[101:35]This is Christianity.
[101:37]By the way, Christianity believes in the original sin of Adam.
[101:41]It's really my God, it's a vicious argument.
[101:46]Vicious.
[101:44]Okay.
[101:44]Adam did not sin at all because did Adam come to earth?
[101:50]>> Yes.
[101:51]Well, did he fulfill God's decree?
[101:53]>> Because God's decree was to put Adam on earth.
[101:57]So notice when Adam was created, Allah said, "I'm going to put
[102:02]him on earth." Did Adam come to Earth?
[102:05]Okay, so he fulfilled God's will.
[102:07]Number one.
[102:09]Okay, now let's go to number two.
[102:12][snorts] When Allah says do not approach this tree for you will
[102:16]be burdened here means burden not wrong.
[102:21]It doesn't mean wrong.
[102:24]When you say or doesn't mean wrong.
