[3:36][Music] ill [Music] [Music] alhamd alhamd muham muh [Music] one of the

[6:00]beautiful traditions in in this country is to have a day out

[6:05]of the year in which we show thanks and appreciation for the

[6:12]blessings in our lives and this tradition aligns with our religion and

[6:19]aligns with our faith with the exception of having our religion and

[6:26]the Quran tells us to show appreciation every day the Quan an

[6:30]teaches us to show appreciation Allah subhah wa ta'ala keeps reminding Us

[6:37]in the Quran Allah subhana wa tala has declared that you thank

[6:50]Allah subhah wa ta'ala Allah will give you more and if you

[6:53]don't then the punishment from God is very severe in another verse

[7:02]Allah subhana says in the Quran family of D work in showing

[7:08]appreciation don't just say don't just say it don't just have it

[7:13]in your heart but let it be through your actions so we

[7:17]see that the Quran and theah of and the religion of Islam

[7:24]teaches us to show appreciation and when you show appreciation you begin

[7:31]to appreci appreciate and you begin to acknowledge the blessings of Allah

[7:36]subhana wa tala in your life many of us we do show

[7:39]appreciation some people they appreciate the wealth that they have some people

[7:44]appreciate their children some people appreciate people in their lives there are

[7:50]many blessings that we have to show appreciation for the blessing of

[7:57]Health the blessing of safety these are two very important bless blings

[8:01]in our lives that often times we do not appreciate but we

[8:06]only remember and realize once they have been taken away from us

[8:14]your health according to the two two blessings that they they go

[8:19]we take for granted we do not truly acknowledge and appreciate until

[8:23]they are taken away from us health and am safety these are

[8:32]some blessings in our lives from amongst the blessings in our lives

[8:36]are the blessings of people your family your loved ones your parents

[8:40]they are a blessing in our lives but often times we take

[8:46]them for granted and we only realize it once they are not

[8:49]in our lives anymore then we realize the importance of that blessing

[8:54]and from amongst the blessings from amongst the of Allah subhah wa

[9:01]ta'ala that we have to show appreciation for that we have to

[9:07]constantly show thank Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala for is the of the

[9:12]of Faith the of the fact that Allah subhah wa ta'ala guided

[9:17]you the fact that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala took you by your

[9:23]hand and showed you the way to the H to the this

[9:25]is one of the greatest blessings in a life of an individual

[9:29]this is why we have to thank Allah subhah wa tala for

[9:36]these blessings alhamdulillah the Quran teaches us to say we have to

[9:48]thank Allah for guiding us guiding us to the Quran guiding us

[9:53]to the religion of Islam guiding us to the H to the

[9:55]truth and if it were not for God's guidance if it were

[10:00]not for Allah waala showing me the path and showing me the

[10:03]way then we would have been taken astray so we have to

[10:09]thank Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala for the blessing of hi for the

[10:12]blessing of IM for the blessing of following the true message following

[10:17]the following the message of the in the of this verse Allah

[10:27]subhana tala on the day of judgment is going going to ask

[10:32]everyone about the about the blessings in their life IM he tells

[10:37]his companions that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is much more generous than

[10:42]to give you food until you thank me for it give you

[10:48]shelter until you thank me for it this is with people if

[10:50]someone for example gave me something I have they expect me to

[10:56]show them thanks for these small things these small worldly things Allah

[11:00]subhah wa tala yes we have to thank him for our food

[11:03]for our sustenance for our risk for everything that we have however

[11:09]IM he says Allah wants people to thank him Allah wants people

[11:18]to thank him for the IM for Faith for for having in

[11:25]our lives for having the Quran in our lives and this is

[11:27]a that we should not take for granted and we see that

[11:31]there are many Muslims that underappreciate their religion that take their faith

[11:37]for granted they take the Quran for granted you see the Quran

[11:43]is on the shelf and dust is piling up on it and

[11:45]days and weeks and months pass and the words of God are

[11:50]not in our lives anymore words of God are not being appreciated

[11:53]we see the mid many times out of the year they're empty

[11:58]they're not being appreciated who who appreciates the one who appreciates is

[12:01]the one who realizes the realizes the value of what they have

[12:07]if you have a diamond in your pocket and you think that

[12:10]this diamond is a piece of rock are you going to appreciate

[12:14]it it's just a plain piece of rock that you picked up

[12:16]from the ground you're not going to Value it but when you

[12:21]know the value of a diamond then you're going to preserve it

[12:23]then you're going to cherish it then you're going to take care

[12:27]of it then you're going to Value it my dear brothers and

[12:31]sisters Islam is a diamond in our lives that we do not

[12:37]acknowledge that we do not know the true value of often times

[12:40]I see some converts those who have converted to the religion of

[12:44]Islam and they tell me they tell me you Muslims you who

[12:50]are born Muslims you don't know the value of your faith we

[12:53]know the value of faith Muslim family when you're born in a

[13:07]Muslim Community you is Muslim you begin to not appreciate it they

[13:15]take one out of prison and they put this person they give

[13:18]this person Freedom going to know are born to work on recognizing

[13:37]the value of our faith so that we could truly show appreciation

[13:40]to Allah subhana t for if I don't appreciate I'm not going

[13:45]to show appreciation for it have a relationship with your the value

[13:56]relationship that you own you're going to take care of it but

[14:01]if you don't know the value you're not going to take care

[14:02]of it you're going Overlook it you're going to ignore it filled

[14:11]with regret we have to know the Val Faith know the value

[14:19]of Islam know the value of following the the IM and he

[14:29]tells him I'm poor the IM he tells him you're not poor

[14:35]he tells him but I told you I'm poor he tells him

[14:41]you're not poor the man he tells the Imam have you seen

[14:44]my life have you seen the house that I live in have

[14:47]you seen the the the the car that I drive or the

[14:51]camel that I ride have you seen all of these I tells

[14:59]him how he tells him if someone were to come and give

[15:06]you 100 din 100 dins for you to let go of your

[15:10]faith and your belief and your identity would you let go of

[15:13]it he said no never do that he tells him to give

[15:20]to let go of your for the would you let go of

[15:25]it the man said no I will never give I never let

[15:29]go of it he them if someone gives you 100,000 din to

[15:31]let go of your faith and your of the would you let

[15:35]go of it he said no I would not let go of

[15:38]it and the Imam kept going up in Number the man keep

[15:42]saying no I would never let go of my faith and never

[15:43]let go of my value then the IM he tells the man

[15:48]he tells him you have something that person because everything every item

[15:59]right now I buy a house I buy a car I buy

[16:03]a diamond whatever it is it has a value to it comes

[16:07]and brings enough money you come and you it but when you

[16:09]are not willing to let go of your values you are not

[16:13]willing to let go of your faith that means you truly acknowledge

[16:16]it that means you truly appreciate it and that means you are

[16:22]the wealthiest person and my dear brothers and sisters our Iman our

[16:27]faith our teach our yeah this this is something that is very

[16:34]our Liv's value so that means we have to preserve it that

[16:40]means we have to appreciate it with our faith just as I'm

[16:48]tested with my health health is valuable I'm tested with my health

[16:51]I'm tested with my wealth wealth is valuable I'm tested with it

[16:54]I'm tested with people in our lives I'm tested numerous types of

[17:00]tests in our lives Liv we are tested do we ever come

[17:02]to the realiz but often times the problem is that we don't

[17:10]see the test of faith as a test if I'm tested with

[17:14]my health I cry I come and I say let's do Dua

[17:18]I raise all the alarms I want to make sure that my

[17:20]health gets better if I'm tested with my job with my career

[17:24]I make sure I do whatever it takes so that out of

[17:28]this test but when my faith my when my when my religion

[17:34]is being tested often times we ignore it often times we act

[17:37]like we're not even in a test and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

[17:42]tells us this because we are so distracted by this D that

[17:45]we end up not realizing that we our faith is being tested

[17:51]on a daily basis says in the Quran test their accountability is

[18:05]coming very near but they're in a state of they're are unaware

[18:09]they don't even realize that they're in a [Music] test when never

[18:21]a reminder comes their way to show them the way gu they

[18:27]are busy they're playing their their life is full of amusement and

[18:32]they're not realizing that the most Val away from them as a

[18:38]result of their own lifestyle my dear brothers and sisters when we

[18:43]look at the Quran we see the Quran is full of reminders

[18:49]of communities of people that were tested not with their wealth not

[18:53]with their health yes wealth and health and these DWI these worldly

[18:56]tests these could pass because Allah Suba tala will reward you for

[19:00]it Allah subhana tala will compensate you for it but be very

[19:04]careful not to give up not be to be tested with your

[19:09]Iman with your faith make sure you preserve your faith preserve your

[19:13]values preserve the faith of your children my dear brothers and sisters

[19:19]there are people right now instead of on a Friday like this

[19:24]there's no school instead of bringing their family to the Masjid they're

[19:27]out in the malls they're out out shopping because of Black Friday

[19:31]right so it all depends on the attitude and the mindset that

[19:38]you have some people they're just chasing this duny not aware that

[19:42]they're losing their own children not aware that they're losing their own

[19:47]faith and then there are also who prioritize their faith prioritize their

[19:52]belief so we have to my dear brothers and sisters we have

[19:56]to make sure that we preserve and we cherish our values and

[19:59]our faith and make sure that it passes on to Future Generations

[20:06]that are to come I have a duty I have a responsibility

[20:08]Allah subhana wa tala is going to ask me what did you

[20:13]do to your children how did you guarantee that your faith that

[20:16]the that the religion of Islam that this very valuable thing I

[20:19]know some people because they have a few dollars in their bank

[20:24]account they go and they find the most expensive lawyer to put

[20:26]their wealth in a trust so that it could pass on to

[20:30]generations and the government is not going to take it but do

[20:32]we care do we value Salah do we make sure that we

[20:36]pass on Salah the same way we want to pass on our

[20:39]wealth do we make sure that we want to pass on our

[20:42]and the teachings of Islam and the teachings of the Quran the

[20:44]same way we want to pass on our wealth that we have

[20:50]our money that we have so we have to make sure we

[20:51]recognize the value of what we have once we do then we

[20:57]will appreciate it today in the the past year we have seen

[21:03]groups of people that are targeted just because of their faith just

[21:06]because of their belief the people of Gaza if you think if

[21:09]they were another religion if they were not holding on to their

[21:15]faith you think they would be targeting be targeted the same way

[21:18]that they are right now the people of Lebanon you think that

[21:21]they would be targeted the same way that they are being targeted

[21:23]and bom bombed no it's because of their faith it's because of

[21:29]their Val vales it's because of what they cherish here this is

[21:32]a clear test we see they're being attacked and assaulted and targeted

[21:35]as a result of their faith we have to be very careful

[21:41]maybe my test is more subtle maybe my test and my faith

[21:43]is not as clear as it is with the people of Gazza

[21:47]and the people of Lebanon this is why we have to always

[21:53]ask Allah subhanahu wa taala for hi we have to always ask

[21:56]Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to show us the way in a Dua

[22:00]that we do in the we say oh Allah do not misguide

[22:15]us after you have guided us keep me on the keep me

[22:18]on the straight path in a Dua that is done during the

[22:22]time of the during the time of occultation according to the Hadi

[22:25]of IM he says during the time of the no one is

[22:34]going to be saved except if you do this Dua what is

[22:37]this Dua oh one who transforms and changes the heart make my

[22:47]heart be solid on your faith so my dear brothers and sisters

[22:53]we have to ask Allah subhana to help us to give us

[22:55]the of appreciating and showing thanks to people in our lives to

[23:01]objects to things that we have but most importantly we have to

[23:04]be thankful for Faith because faith is what will guide us in

[23:07]this D and in the we ask Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala to protect

[23:13]us we ask Allah subhah wa ta'ala to guide us and show

[23:16]us the way when we do the when we ask people to

[23:45]stand I want everyone not now when we when we all stand

[23:49]to come as much uh to this side of the room and

[23:52]forward as you can please alhamd alhamdulillah mam muham Al Muhammed Ali

[25:26]Muhammad Hass Ali please if you could come forward and fill the

[25:45]gaps my dear brothers and sisters as we are discussing the value

[25:51]of faith in our lives and how faith we must recognize the

[25:59]value and the importance of faith not only is it valuable but

[26:02]it is something that will give us value Allah subhana tala says

[26:10]in the Quran that the m is not the same as the

[26:12]F the M the one who believes is not the same A

[26:21]and A F are not at the same level why because the

[26:26]m has faith and when you have faith your life is going

[26:30]to be different the way that you live your life your perspective

[26:34]and your approach on life is going to be different and you

[26:36]will see that your faith is going to give you more value

[26:42]in your life first of all it's going to take you to

[26:47]the Jenna it's going to having faith is a lifestyle is a

[26:50]plan that will guide a person to heaven and to Jenna and

[26:56]this is something that is very important but from amongst the values

[27:01]of Faith other than that it keeps you from Haram it keeps

[27:03]you from sinning it keeps you fromat doing the wrong drinking and

[27:08]cheating and stealing and abusing and living a good life a good

[27:15]healthy life one of the most important blessings of IM and faith

[27:19]is that it gives the M it gives the M dignity honor

[27:26]and this is something that you cannot go and Shop you can

[27:28]go and buy dignity you can't go and buy honor this is

[27:33]something that is not a transaction you can't go and buy dignity

[27:37]you could buy whatever you want that is worldly but you cannot

[27:43]buy dignity dignity comes from the lifestyle choices dignity and honor comes

[27:48]from Iman Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala places it in the heart and

[27:52]in the life of a m and we have seen throughout history

[27:56]my dear brothers and sisters that the m they are always suffering

[28:02]they're always being targeted as a result of their faith as a

[28:06]result of their values maybe the enemies of Islam the enemies of

[28:11]the M they could take away everything they'll take away your belongings

[28:13]they'll take away your life they'll take away your property they'll take

[28:19]away everything that you have but they cannot take your honor they

[28:23]cannot take your K they cannot take your dignity and honor that

[28:27]Allah subhah wa tala has given and throughout history M have always

[28:32]suffered they have always paid the price holding on to the truth

[28:37]is not easy no one said it's easy do people think that

[28:46]they're going to be left alone they just say and they're not

[28:48]going to be tested of course they're going to be tested everyone

[28:52]is tested my dear brothers and sisters and the are tested even

[28:55]more but if you pass that test if you hold respond to

[29:00]that which is valuable Allah subhanahu wa taala will give you dignity

[29:05]and in this D and in the the Quran is full of

[29:08]examples of individuals that were tested that were killed that were targeted

[29:14]and assaulted just because of their belief in Allah talks about a

[29:21]group of people by the name of this was the first Holocaust

[29:28]in history why because of their beliefs at that time they were

[29:34]believing Christians this was when Christianity was the right religion before Islam

[29:39]came they were Believers and the king and the leader of their

[29:42]time they came and they dug trenches and they placed them and

[29:47]they tied them up in these trenches and they burned them to

[29:50]death Allah subhana wa tala says in the Quran the only reason

[30:11]they were killed the only reason they were targeted is because they

[30:17]believed in Allah subhah wa ta'ala because they had the audacity to

[30:21]believe and we see prophets Prophet Zakaria was chopped up by saw

[30:29]he went and he hid in a tree and they came and

[30:31]they chopped him into pieces John the Baptist he was beheaded because

[30:38]he was doing was targeted you think he had a very easy

[30:47]life many times he would come home bleeding from head to toe

[30:53]as a result of holding on to the IM in a few

[30:59]days we remember remember who was targeted because of her faith because

[31:04]of her values and the sh IM Hussein but my dear brothers

[31:12]and sisters when you have faith you know that Allah subhah promises

[31:15]you and gives you Victory and God does not break his promises

[31:20]when Biden promises Victory to a group of people when presidents when

[31:26]kings they promise Victory to a group of people they will not

[31:30]be able to hold on they cannot keep their promises but when

[31:33]Allah subhah wa ta'ala promises Victory Allah gives Allah fulfills his promise

[31:39]and many places in the Quran we see God promises the M

[31:47]Victory if you support God Allah subhanahu waala will support you and

[31:53]strengthen your foundation and your footing yes Victory does not come for

[31:59]free Victory does not come without pain Victory does not come without

[32:08]losing things without sacrifice without giving today the biggest example of someone

[32:14]who was victorious in our lives in our history that we look

[32:17]in the history of Islam is IM Hussein was IM Hussein Victorious

[32:20]over yazid of course he was was Imam Hussein killed yes he

[32:26]was killed Imam Hussein he was killed along with his family along

[32:30]with his children nothing was remained from IM Hussein yeah IM Hussein

[32:34]is the one who was Victorious so my dear brothers and sisters

[32:38]Allah promises Victory to the and that victory means that even if

[32:46]you gave sacrifices even if you were killed even if your children

[32:50]were killed even if your house was bombed you can still gain

[32:52]Victory as long as you hold on to the truth as long

[32:56]as you hold on to your values as long as you don't

[33:00]let go of what you believe in and this is what we

[33:02]are seeing my dear brothers and sisters before our eyes we are

[33:08]seeing how Allah subhah wa ta'ala day after day gives Victory to

[33:12]the people of gazah why because they're standing solid because they're standing

[33:16]strong because they're not complaining why is God doing this to me

[33:21]why is God doing that and similarly a few days ago we

[33:24]saw how Allah subhah wa ta'ala gave Victory to the people of

[33:30]Lebanon people go back at 4:00 a.m.

[33:32]they announce the ceasefire and at that very moment you see people

[33:36]they get in their cars and they start going back to their

[33:41]Villages you see people at that moment as soon as even the

[33:44]enemy is still there the zionists are still there occupying parts of

[33:48]Lebanon you see they're going to their Village they're going to their

[33:51]homes and they stand above their destroyed homes and they are victorious

[33:56]isn't this honor isn't this K isn't this dignity isn't this how

[34:04]Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala honors a group of people so my dear

[34:08]brothers and sisters we learn from the and we learn from these

[34:14]examples that we are seeing on the television people that do not

[34:17]let go of their values they're targeted because of their faith yet

[34:21]they hold strong victory means holding your ground victory means holding on

[34:27]to your faith holding on to your Islam holding on to what

[34:33]you honor and we have to thank Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that

[34:36]we are not being bombed we're not being killed others are but

[34:41]we still are being tested with our faith and I have to

[34:44]ask myself what have I done to preserve that Faith what have

[34:48]I done to preserve that honor and many people are going to

[34:51]come and try to shake you many people are going to come

[34:52]and try to take that away from you people that live with

[34:58]dignity and you always have people whispering in their ears telling them

[35:01]you don't need to do this you don't need to do that

[35:07]you need to give up an interesting story from one of his

[35:11]companions his name is was known as the most generous of the

[35:16]Arabs he died before came and and and became a prophet but

[35:25]ADI his son became became a Muslim and he became a follower

[35:31]of and he became a in the Battle of sa three of

[35:38]his sons they were killed defending IM Ali three of his sons

[35:44]he has three sons after the death of after the martyrdom of

[35:52]he goes to see muawiya for some reason mua he would summon

[35:57]these people and mu he wants to come and burn his heart

[36:02]he wants to break his heart ad had lost his eyes in

[36:04]the Battle of s and his sons three of them they were

[36:10]given so he tells him mua he tells he tells ad he

[36:13]tells him what happened to your sons you had three sons they

[36:20]were all killed because of he tells him ad he tells him

[36:26]they were killed defending the truth they were killed defending then he

[36:31]tells him mu he tells he tells him he kept his sons

[36:38]safe and your sons they were the ones who were killed Ali

[36:42]was not fair with you where his sons were safe while your

[36:47]three sons they were killed this man who lost his eyes and

[36:50]he gave his three sons he says no I was not fair

[36:57]to ALB that Al Talib was killed and I remained alive and

[37:01]this shows you the dignity and the K and the honor that

[37:07]Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gives the M my dear brothers and sisters

[37:10]I just wanted to conclude with this um last week the senator

[37:16]from South Carolina Lindsey Graham a man who takes thousands of dollars

[37:20]from APAC a man who instead of focusing on his own people

[37:27]there was a hurricane that hit South Carolina and in the middle

[37:30]of the hurricane they're asking him what are you doing about the

[37:32]hurricane he says I'm worried about the people of Israel and he's

[37:37]a senator he's a senator from South Carolina last year uh last

[37:40]week in Congress he came and he said a very dangerous statement

[37:45]he came and he said that the religious Doctrine the religious beliefs

[37:51]of the Shia lead them to want to K compel them to

[37:57]kill all the Jews and you see that this is a very

[37:59]inflammatory statement this is a statement trying to cause division trying to

[38:05]make people fear one group of people and it's a speech of

[38:09]hate when when Rashid she said the people of Palestine deserve to

[38:15]be free from The River To The Sea Congress came and censored

[38:18]her and this man he's coming and he's talking about the Shia

[38:22]of the and he's saying that their beliefs compel them to kill

[38:26]all Jews you see that there are no repercussions for his actions
