[0:09][Music] I begin in the name of the almighty God the compassionate

[0:26]the merciful the one who has created everything in utmost perfection ction

[0:31]and May the peace and blessings of the almighty God be upon

[0:36]his pure and beloved messenger the peak of his creation the symbol

[0:45]of humanity the holy prophet Muhammad and his Immaculate progeny of the

[0:56]bit peace be upon them especially the leader of our time the

[1:03]awaited savior IM we ask Allah subhanahu waala to hasten his reappearance

[1:10]and make us all amongst his sincere and dedicated servants respected brothers

[1:17]and sisters Allah subhanahu waala states in the Holy Quran inah verse

[1:28]29 those who believe and they do good the reward that they

[1:44]receive from Allah isba and they will have the best destination on

[1:50]the day of judgment illuminate your hearts and Minds with a loud

[2:00]salawat trees are one of the most beautiful creations of Allah subhanahu

[2:12]wa ta'ala I'm always fascinated when I see how a tree grows

[2:18]from dirt lifeless dirt that's not attractive produces such wonderful and beautiful

[2:26]Creations like the tree when the spring comes com and you see

[2:31]the trees turning green it really opens your heart it changes your

[2:37]mood it makes you happy trees are one of the great creations

[2:42]of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala imagine planet Earth without trees it would

[2:49]be very dull now just as in this life one of the

[2:52]joys that we experience is to see trees on the day of

[2:59]judgment one of the joy that Allah subhana wa taala will give

[3:04]to the people of Heaven is Heavenly trees one reason why Heaven

[3:09]is called Jenna is it because it's covered and concealed with trees

[3:14]it's Lush with vegetation these Gardens on the day of judgment beneath

[3:23]which rivers flow have been described as being a Jenna why because

[3:28]they're covered with trees because the root word Jenna in Arabic means

[3:34]to cover if you're standing outside of Heaven you would not be

[3:40]able to see what's inside because it's covered with trees now the

[3:46]most important and beautiful tree on the day of judgment in heaven

[3:51]is the tree ofba it's a very beautiful tree that every single

[4:00]believer will benefit from on the day of judgment I will share

[4:06]with you a very fascinating Hadith attributed to that has been mentioned

[4:13]in the book of Ali that captures for us the description of

[4:18]this Hadith truly motivates us to be better human beings the Imam

[4:27]begins this Hadith by giving us first signs of those who are

[4:33]religious if today you are asked can you define for me a

[4:40]religious person who's someone who's religious usually if we're asked this question

[4:46]we say someone who prays someone who fasts someone who gives a

[4:49]zakat or and someone who goes to ha these are indicators of

[4:52]religiosity but the im here gives us the following signs when it

[5:01]comes to being religious and knowing the people who are truly religious

[5:05]the IM States the people of religion have signs by which they

[5:18]are known what is the first sign that the Imam mentions the

[5:22]first sign they are truthful if you really want to know if

[5:30]someone is a believer someone is a true Muslim M see if

[5:35]they're truthful or not we human beings have the tendency to lie

[5:40]some scientific Studies have shown that on average people lie two to

[5:47]three times a day now there are gender differences by the way

[5:51]one UK British study discovered that on average women lie twice a

[5:56]day or as men lie three times a day so yes the

[6:01]the award goes to the brothers when it comes to the number

[6:03]of Lies per day and then some feminists tell us there's no

[6:08]difference between men and women here I give you a difference now

[6:11]it's natural human behavior to lie but that's part of your trial

[6:15]as a True Believer as a mmin you make it a priority

[6:23]to never lie because the truth is the most precious thing in

[6:27]the universe when I lie I am betraying the the truth I'm

[6:30]stepping on the truth and that's why lying is a big sin

[6:36]in our communities in our lives lying is a normal sin we

[6:41]don't consider lying to be a big deal it is a big

[6:42]deal lying is one of the it's one of the major sins

[6:46]in the eyes of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala so if you want

[6:50]to know whether someone's really religious or not see how truthful they

[6:55]are and these are the words of that's the first sign that

[7:00]he mentions the second one how trustworthy am I that determines my

[7:10]level of religiosity a truly religious Mutan person as we call them

[7:16]are those that you can count on you can rely on if

[7:21]you entrust them with money they give it back to you if

[7:23]you entrust them with a business they do justice to that business

[7:28]if you entrust them with a secret they will not going they

[7:33]will not go spilling and revealing your secrets that's part of the

[7:38]am sometimes my friend confines in me confides in me and tells

[7:41]me a secret you know what's my next goal the next sah

[7:45]that I have with my friends let me talk about the secret

[7:47]because it feels good when you talk about people's Secrets it gives

[7:52]you recipe for talking in your sahas but this is a sin

[7:56]because you are violating the trust that your friend has placed in

[7:59]in you or your spouse has placed in you or your family

[8:04]member has placed in you trustworthiness is a sign of every prophet

[8:09]and every believer hence when the prophet Muhammad s Alam when he

[8:22]migrated from Mecca to Medina even though he really wanted IM aliam

[8:27]to be with him and he was worried about him him he

[8:31]told him I want you to stay in Mecca come later why

[8:37]because these pagans these mush they brought their am their trust and

[8:41]they gave it to me because in the past there were no

[8:43]safe boxes and Banks so sometimes when some families wanted to travel

[8:49]and they had valuables they needed it they needed to keep it

[8:52]with someone safely you know where they would keep some of their

[8:56]belongings with Prophet sallallahu alaihi Al because they know he's trustworthy even

[9:00]though they they're fighting him they're still worshiping the idols they don't

[9:04]believe in his message but they know he's trustworthy so he told

[9:08]IM aliam stay in Medina longer do not start the migration stay

[9:13]in Mecca longer do not start the migration to Medina unless you

[9:20]go back and give all the amanat that's how valuable the amanat

[9:24]are that the prophet is endangering IM aliam by staying longer in

[9:29]Mecca but he wants to fulfill this very important obligation and that's

[9:33]what im Ali Alam did he went he stood in Mecca he

[9:38]made an announcement anyone anyone who's kept an am with the prophet

[9:41]sallallahu alai come to me I'll give it back to you this

[9:45]is the second quality that the Imam mentions in this Hadith the

[9:49]third one when you make a promise you keep your promises this

[9:57]is a sign of Iman this is is a sign of religiosity

[10:02]praying and fasting are important but they don't necessarily indicate that you're

[10:08]truly a man of God mua also used to pray yazid also

[10:12]used to pray but do you keep your promises or not that's

[10:18]a sign of IM if you know that you're not able to

[10:24]keep your promises don't make promises because when you break your promise

[10:31]you can ruin someone's life there are some people out there counting

[10:35]on your promises they're relying on you but you shatter their hopes

[10:39]you affect them by breaking your promises if you know that you'll

[10:43]not be able to keep your promise don't make a promise no

[10:48]say it but I was under pressure I felt awkward I had

[10:53]to accept to make the promise Habibi if you break your promise

[10:57]later you'll be in a more awkward position it's worse don't put

[11:04]yourself in that situation it's not recommended for you to make promises

[11:08]when you know you'll not be able to fulfill them one of

[11:14]the qualities of Believers is to keep their promises whether with their

[11:18]family members with their friends with their work with Allah subhana wa

[11:22]tala many times we make a promise with Allah subhana tala yaah

[11:25]Allah if you get me out of this I'll do this I'll

[11:28]be a better person I'll stop sinning the minute Allah saves us

[11:32]we go back to our old ways you're breaking your promise with

[11:35]Allah subhana wa tala that removes the Baraka from your life my

[11:39]respective father says one day a lady came to visit him and

[11:44]she told him that she had stopped believing in Allah subhah wa

[11:48]ta'ala but one incident that happened it made her believe in God

[11:54]she was traveling in a foreign country in Central America and a

[11:59]gang over there was was about to kill her and harass her

[12:02]but then miraculously she was saved she said then and there I

[12:08]believed in God I knew that God exists and he's the one

[12:09]who saved me so I went back to religion my father says

[12:15]a while after he met her family they told him say she

[12:18]left the religion again and she St stopped believing in Allah again

[12:23]Subhan Allah just a few months ago you came and you said

[12:29]that God saved you and you made a promise to have a

[12:33]good relationship with Allah now that life is good and you're saved

[12:35]you again go back to your disbelief that's breaking your promises with

[12:40]Allah subhah wa ta'ala so that's the third quality that the Imam

[12:45]mentions the fourth one keeping good ties with your family members that's

[12:51]a sign of Iman and it increases your blessings in your life

[12:55]the fifth one is very important you have mercy on those who

[13:06]are weak sometimes in big families you see there is someone who's

[13:10]weak he or she does not know how to defend their rights

[13:13]you stand up for them that's a sign of IM be a

[13:19]source of for the weak ones in school if you see someone

[13:26]getting bullied don't say it's none of my business that none of

[13:29]my business this attitude is not Islamic you'll be disappointing Allah subhana

[13:33]tala if you say it's not my business go and report it

[13:36]Go and stand up for the one who's being bullied you know

[13:39]why students keep getting bullied in schools because there's no one who

[13:44]stands up for them a true sign of Iman is for you

[13:47]to stand up for the oppressed to stand up for the weak

[13:50]who cannot defend himself you see a poor student being bullied in

[13:55]your classroom do something about it I know it's not popular to

[13:58]do but with Allah that's an act of worship you are not

[14:03]able to do something about it go tell the teacher go tell

[14:08]the principal do something about that if every person acts responsibly in

[14:13]society to stop Injustice we will not have Injustice you know why

[14:17]we have Injustice in society because we stay silent we let the

[14:20]oppressors get away with their oppression today my dear brothers and sisters

[14:25]why is Israel getting away with their oppression and their killing women

[14:28]and children left and right every week hundreds and thousands are being

[14:35]killed why because the world is letting them because the Arab countries

[14:38]are letting them but once you're firm and you stop sending them

[14:43]arms and you send them a powerful message they'll stop the reason

[14:47]why oppressors oppress is because the others allow them to oppress so

[14:53]a sign of faith is to be for the for those who

[14:59]are weak who can't defend themselves you be their Defender you go

[15:04]and defend them this is a quality of Iman then the IM

[15:10]States Believers are those the IM is giving us signs of who

[15:17]the true Muslim is who the people of religion are they have

[15:22]a big heart they are very tolerant and forgiving they always follow

[15:29]knowledge they don't insert their own opinions they don't live their life

[15:33]in ignorance they always follow knowledge now after mentioning that what does

[15:38]the Imam State what is the reward that Allah gives these successful

[15:43]people Allah subhana mentions the reward in verse [Music] 29 Allah will

[15:59]grant them now linguistically comes from the word which means good but

[16:05]what isba in this verse the Imam describes for us beautifully what

[16:09]tuba is the Imam says tuba is a tree in heaven in

[16:14]Paradise its base the trunk of the tree is in the house

[16:20]of the Prophet Muhammad sallallah alaihi and the branches of this of

[16:27]the tree extend into the house of every believer believer can you

[16:32]imagine how massive this tree is the base of it is in

[16:34]the house of the Prophet it's so massive it Shades all of

[16:41]Heaven such that every single house in heaven that belongs to the

[16:44]m the branches of sh extend into your house now what does

[16:55]this branch do what is the role of this Branch any anything

[17:00]that you desire in heaven Allah subhah wa tala sends it to

[17:04]you through this Branch the Hadith of the IM States anything you

[17:10]desire the branch will deliver it to you it's the Amazon of

[17:12]Heaven it will deliver to you what you want instantaneously now do

[17:18]you know how massive this tree is the Imam States if there's

[17:22]someone who's traveling a rider and he's traveling hard if he were

[17:31]to travel under the shade of sh for 100 years he still

[17:34]cannot leave the shade that's how big the tree is and if

[17:37]there's a bird that would be flying to reach the top of

[17:43]the tree if it would fly fly until it becomes old and

[17:48]falls it would not reach the top of the tree this is

[17:51]a symbolic expression to indicate the massive size of now let me

[17:57]give you some very interesting descriptions of this tree because this is

[18:01]the reward that Allah subh T is going to give the Believers

[18:03]and we ask Allah to give us the to experience the pleasures

[18:09]of this tree you're familiar with the rivers of Heaven one verse

[18:14]tells us there are four rivers in heaven one is made from

[18:21]what honey the second is made from what leban which is milk

[18:25]the third one is made from what wine of course course it's

[18:31]not intoxicating wine the wine in heaven is a fine grape juice

[18:35]but it doesn't make you drunk but it is wine as the

[18:38]Holy Quran calls it and the fourth one is pure Incorruptible water

[18:45]there's a verse in the Holy Quran that talks about these four

[18:51]rivers and these Rivers bring you a source of joy in heaven

[18:54]do you know where these Rivers originate from from all the four

[19:00]rivers in heaven that you've heard about they originate from the Tree

[19:04]of tuba even more than that the spring ofil have you heard

[19:12]ofil in which Allah refers to inah insan this is a very

[19:21]fine Ginger drink According to some reports now I know in this

[19:24]dun you don't probably like ginger drink right but it's just an

[19:29]indication of a fancy drink because at the time of the revelation

[19:31]of the Quran if you wanted to tell the Arabs that this

[19:36]is a fancy drink you would say that this is a ginger

[19:38]drink also the right that the Holy Quran refers to the sealed

[19:45]it's a type of wine on the day of judgment this also

[19:51]originates from sh let me give you further descriptions of this amazing

[19:56]tree this tree has a courtyard do you know what's the carpet

[20:03]of this Courtyard fine silk brade as for the ground of this

[20:11]tree it's made from red sapphire and green emerald this is mentioned

[20:15]in our hadiths the grass around the tree is made from saffron

[20:19]can you imagine what type of tree Allah subhana wa taala has

[20:26]created in heaven it has yellow flowers on it that look like

[20:29]Gardens each flower in itself looks like a garden and then as

[20:35]for the gum that comes out from the tree you know some

[20:37]trees have gum like if you were to cut them you get

[20:42]this gooey substance out of them what is the gum of sh

[20:47]it is honey and ginger honey and zanjabil it's a very massive

[20:51]beautiful tree these are some descriptions of this tree Allah States if

[20:56]you do good this will be re your reward on on the

[21:00]day of judgment the branches of it will extend into your house

[21:07]now we said that this tree where is the base of it

[21:12]the house of who the prophet sallallahu alaihi but we also have

[21:16]hadiths that tell us the base of this tree is the house

[21:26]of Im so how do we reconcile between these hadiths there is

[21:30]one Hadith from ANB Malik that sheds light on how we can

[21:37]reconcile between these two hadiths this Hadith is mentioned in the book

[21:41]by he says one day the prophet sallallah alai came and he

[21:44]said to his companions that in the on the day of judgment

[21:49]there will be the tree of tuba and the base of this

[21:53]tree will be in my house another day the prophet sallallahu alaih

[21:57]told his companions about sh and he told them that the base

[22:02]of the tree is in the house of so got agitated and

[22:08]frustrated he came to the prophet and he objected he told him

[22:12]Yol Allah did you not tell us that the base of this

[22:17]tree is in your house now you come and tell us the

[22:20]base of the tree is in the house of Al Talib which

[22:22]is it your house or the house of Al in heaven the

[22:28]prophet sallallahu alai beautifully responded and he told him oh Omar do

[22:32]you not know that my house and Ali's house are the same

[22:37]one house in heaven and my Palace and his Palace will be

[22:40]the same Palace is the self of now the question is why

[22:53]is in the house of IM Ali also why not just for

[23:00]the prophet there's a story behind that this story has many lessons

[23:03]for us my dear brothers and sisters this there is an authentic

[23:06]Hadith that tells us why will be in the house of on

[23:13]the day of judgment the Hadith States one day um aan came

[23:17]to see the prophet who's um aan um aan was like a

[23:22]mother figure to the prophet sallallahu alaihi Al because when the prophet

[23:26]was a child she helped raise the prophet after the wedding of

[23:32]Lady FAA with IM Ali she comes to these to see the

[23:34]prophet when she sees the prophet she begins to cry the prophet

[23:40]tells her why are you crying what's the matter what's disturbing you

[23:45]she tells him Yol Allah I'm very upset over the wedding of

[23:50]fa and Ali why why are you upset about this wedding just

[23:56]now I came from the wedding of one of the one of

[24:01]the residents of Medina and it was such a fancy wedding they

[24:04]had all these decorative objects like the confetti that they were Distributing

[24:09]in the wedding but your daughter Fatima had a very humble wedding

[24:14]my heart is broken y she loved lady FAA was like a

[24:22]mother to the prophet FAA was like her daughter she saw people

[24:25]having fancy weddings in the society but the prophet's daughter did not

[24:29]have a fancy wedding so she began to cry she felt like

[24:34]Fatima did not get her social respect through that wedding because that's

[24:39]the reality today in society how do people evaluate your standing through

[24:45]your wealth through your wedding if you have a very fancy rich

[24:48]wedding people respect you more people think you're a big shot people

[24:51]think you're important and that's why there are peoples who spend millions

[24:57]of dollars on weddings just a couple of weeks ago I'm sure

[25:00]some of you saw on the news probably the most expensive wedding

[25:07]in the history of human kind in India by the what family

[25:10]andani family andani family God knows what their name is they spent

[25:14]$120 million on the pre-wedding it was a pre-wedding event by the

[25:21]way not the actual wedding God knows what they want to do

[25:24]in the actual wedding $120 million ,500 guests who arrived on their

[25:31]private jets from all over the world Zuckerberg was there everyone was

[25:35]there fancy wedding $120 million on a wedding they brought a singer

[25:41]to perform an hour and a half they gave her $6 million

[25:44]for $1.5 hours of performance my dear brothers and sisters I myself

[25:49]I've been to India you see people who live on the street

[25:53]and die on the street once I was passing with my father

[25:55]we there was a program we passed by a street on a

[26:00]corner we saw a mother with two kids at night the kids

[26:04]had covered their head with a blanket just watching that was their

[26:07]house and then you have people who spend $120 million on a

[26:14]pre-wedding event not even the actual wedding felt sad she came to

[26:22]the prophet Allah your daughter FAA had a simple wedding and that's

[26:27]why I'm crying this means she's not that important in society I'm

[26:32]crying for that the prophet sallallahu alaih was disappointed in what said

[26:38]and the prophet said to her om what you're saying is not

[26:41]true don't look at the outside fa had a humble wedding yes

[26:48]her humble her wedding was very humble the prophet did not spend

[26:52]months planning for the wedding within days it was planned within days

[26:56]the prophet said in 2 days 3 days we have a wedding

[27:00]and then the companions got together they helped with making the food

[27:03]and the prophet distributed blessed food that was the wedding of Imam

[27:07]Ali and Lady fa and the prophet is the greatest creation of

[27:11]Allah today some people are not getting married in the community some

[27:15]shabab some youth I know them personally you know why a brother

[27:21]came to me say I'm ready for marriage I am responsible I

[27:24]even found the right person everything's set I even have a job

[27:27]I started I have a job I have a stable job what's

[27:31]the problem say what's giving me nightmares is the wedding they want

[27:37]a wedding that's $50,000 $100,000 I can't afford that I can't afford

[27:41]that besides if I had 50 I'd want to put it on

[27:46]my down payment to get a house there is immense pressure on

[27:48]us around the world to have the fanciest weddings my dear brothers

[27:54]and sisters and I wish I wish most of these weddings were

[27:56]Halal at least you can say Okay halal you want to go

[28:01]shell out $100,000 fine okay maybe your on the day of judgment

[28:03]is going to be prolonged a little bit as we mentioned yesterday

[28:07]but at least you're not committing a sin most of these weddings

[28:11]are Haram in Haram double Haram triple Haram they bring the DJs

[28:15]I know families will spend $20,000 on the DJs I'm not talking

[28:20]about non-muslims I'm talking about people from our communities my dear brothers

[28:22]and sisters they bring the DJ they pay them a good $20,000

[28:27]and then when you tell them support a project Masjid here not

[28:29]too much $1,000 is too much but you're giving for Haram $20,000

[28:36]that's okay you bring the DJ and then the mixed wedding and

[28:38]then the dancing amongst the mixed genders and then God knows how

[28:44]much they spent the ladies at the salons coming and fully displaying

[28:47]their makeup to the men yeah I'm sure Allah is happy in

[28:54]our weddings Subhan Allah we live our lives asking Allah to bless

[28:57]us Ya Allah bless me grant me sustenance yaah Allah I want

[29:00]you to take me to this Heaven Ya Allah when I have

[29:04]a crisis help me and the day Allah helps you and he

[29:08]gives you the resources to get married you start by disobeying him

[29:12]Ya Allah now that you've blessed me alhamdulillah I have a wedding

[29:16]I'm going to start by disobeying you with the Haram music and

[29:19]the Haram singing and the Haram everything that's our weddings today and

[29:23]we spend a lot on our weddings in one community in the

[29:27]US I did this resar search because I wanted to know how

[29:31]much they spent on wedings in one community in the United States

[29:35]I'm talking about our community okay our commity the Shia Community I'm

[29:38]not talking about other communities they spend in a year the average

[29:42]Community spends in a year 50 to a million dollar on weddings

[29:47]we have a lot of resources brothers and sisters and we claim

[29:51]we don't have resources we want to build an Islamic school in

[29:55]most cities there's no one to support or very few people to

[29:59]support alhamdulillah there are good generous donors in every Community but we

[30:04]always think that we don't have others have no we have the

[30:08]resources if we want we're just putting it in the wrong place

[30:11]50 to a million dollar only on weddings in one year in

[30:15]that Community that's the spending that a lot of people are doing

[30:22]so the prophet sallallahu alai told a a why are you so

[30:25]upset what's the matter here what you're saying is not true don't

[30:30]look at the outside of the wedding of Lady fa let me

[30:36]tell you what happened in the heavens when faam got married you're

[30:40]concerned and crying because decorative objects and confetti they were not distributed

[30:46]in her wedding they were not tossed and thrown in her wedding

[30:50]let me tell you the Trees of Heaven all of them tossed

[30:52]gold and silver and silk on the inhabitants of heaven when faam

[31:01]got married and let me tell you the Dow of was the

[31:06]tree of tuba is the dowy of Lady fa that's the doy

[31:10]that Allah gave her this beautiful tree that we described is the

[31:14]dowy of Lady fa has three Diaries did you know that not

[31:19]one dowy but three the first one is the monetary DIY what's

[31:26]the monetary DIY that she got 500 dirhams 500 silver coins and

[31:31]today's value that's about $1,000 very simple dowy IMI used this money

[31:36]to buy some things for the house this was the monetary dowy

[31:44]but fa also had a spiritual dowy you know what her spiritual

[31:50]dowy was she went to the prophet sallallahu alaihi and she told

[31:54]him y Allah what's different about me than other girls other girls

[31:57]all they care about is money and dowy I want to be

[32:01]different I don't care about money and dowes so I want to

[32:08]be different the prophet sallallahu alaihi told her fa what do you

[32:11]want your Dowry to be you know what she said she said

[32:15]I want my dowy to be I want my dowy to be

[32:27]the power of sha to intercede for the Sinners FAA thinks of

[32:32]us FAA wants to intercede for us that's the big heart of

[32:36]Lady fa that's her spiritual dowy and then she had a third

[32:42]dowy the third dowy of lady faam was what the Heavenly dowy

[32:45]which is after the prophet describes this the prophet sallallahu alai says

[32:56]to and that's why the tree of tuba is in the house

[32:59]of Al on the day of judgment because this tree is the

[33:04]dowy of IM Ali to Lady F that is the reason why

[33:09]it's going to be in his house this is the Heavenly Dary

[33:16]of Lady the beautiful lesson we learned from this Hadith of the

[33:21]Prophet sallallahu alaihi Al is that if you want to know your

[33:23]worth don't look at Society who cares what Society thinks about you

[33:27]if society looks at lady fa and her wedding and what she

[33:34]had in this world she came from a very very low economic

[33:38]class but lady faam had a very big status in the eyes

[33:44]of Allah but that's a lesson for you and me don't be

[33:47]upset if sometimes you're depressed no one cares about me I feel

[33:50]like no one is giving me attention in this world I feel

[33:54]like my Society does not respect me who cares does Allah respect

[33:57]you does your IM respect you does your Prophet respect you that's

[34:00]fine when you have Allah with you you're not losing anything in

[34:06]fact Society is nothing but a distraction so sh is that beautiful

[34:13]tree that Allah subhana tala has given to Lady fa as the

[34:17]doy for her wedding now after IM aliam describes to us the

[34:22]tree ofba the IM mentions something very beautiful he begins to continue

[34:27]to describe the Bel Believers because theith on started with what the

[34:31]IM says do you want me to give you signs of who

[34:34]is a m of who is a person of religion he gave

[34:38]us those signs then the IM concludes with a couple of more

[34:44]signs the IM [Music] States what a beautiful description by the Imam

[34:55]the IM says let me further describe the m to you the

[34:58]mmin when it comes to his own self he's always working hard

[35:04]and tired he's working hard he never really makes it a goal

[35:07]to seek Comfort but the people around him they are at peace

[35:17]and in Comfort because of him a good mmin is the one

[35:25]who tries to make you comfortable if he can with his words

[35:28]with his financially if you need his help or he serves you

[35:33]have you seen in some families there's always someone who's very helpful

[35:37]anything you need that person will bring it to you will give

[35:39]it to you will serve you this is a sign of Iman

[35:43]the mmin is the one who always puts himself in hardship so

[35:49]that other people are at peace this is a sign of Iman

[35:51]Allah loves this trait now today when you ask Society they tell

[35:56]you no what are you talking about why you want to stress

[35:58]yourself out who cares about people you enjoy your life that's the

[36:02]dun attitude but the attitude of Allah and the attitude of the

[36:08]is the exact opposite you put yourself in hardship so that others

[36:11]are in comfort and in peace don't boss people around there are

[36:17]some people they have a tendency to boss everyone around right you

[36:21]could be for instance a father in the house a grandfather in

[36:24]the house you think everybody is a Slave for You y get

[36:28]me this do this do that you could have a company and

[36:30]you think all your employees are your slaves and you could boss

[36:34]them around whenever you want the true mmin is the one who

[36:41]tries as much as he can not to burden anyone not to

[36:44]burden anyone my late maternal grandfather may Allah bless his whole his

[36:50]father so my great-grandfather who was in carbal he was very old

[36:57]and I've heard this from his children they say despite his old

[36:59]age and he was a mer and he was a great scholar

[37:04]he was like 80 years old sometimes he needed something like a

[37:07]cup of water that he needed he was thirsty he had to

[37:12]go up the stairs to get some water from the kitchen that's

[37:14]how the house was and it would take him a long time

[37:19]to go up the stairs at 80 and he has you know

[37:22]heart condition and it's very difficult for him to keep going and

[37:26]coming so his children say sometimes we would see him go up

[37:29]the stairs and he's breathing heavily and we run to him Baba

[37:33]what do you need what do you want he says no it's

[37:34]okay I'll get it myself what do you need I'm thirsty I'm

[37:39]getting some water why don't you tell us no I don't want

[37:43]to burden anyone that's a true M when you don't want to

[37:46]burden anyone my dear brothers and sisters that's a sign of Iman

[37:55]then the IM beautifully includes the Hadith by saying this true M

[38:02]who is going to get the tree of tuba and the blessings

[38:04]of tuba beautiful description by is always at the peak of eloquence

[38:17]he says when the night sets on him in Arabic means what

[38:22]farash means the carpet that you put on the floor or the

[38:26]blanket that you put on the floor you know what the M

[38:27]does not does he only do suud he puts his face on

[38:33]the ground in other words his face becomes a carpet on the

[38:40]ground he sticks to the ground and he does sujud to Allah

[38:47]subhah wa ta'ala in the midst of the night when people are

[38:49]asleep when people are watching their favorite late night show or Netflix

[38:53]series The M says none of this is going to help me

[38:57]he puts his face on on the floor and he begins to

[38:59]cry and he does his sujud for Allah what does he [Music]

[39:07]say he speaks privately to the one who created him to Allah

[39:12]who created him and he says oh Allah I want you to

[39:16]free me Ya Allah I want you to free my neck from

[39:21]the fire of Hell yaah Allah forgive me the IM says be

[39:23]like that this is theba that you should pursue if you have

[39:28]these qualities Allah subhana wa tala will give you that amazing blessing

[39:32]we ask Allah subhah wa ta'ala to open our hearts for the

[39:35]path of guidance we ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to grant us

[39:38]the branches of sh let's now raise our hands in Dua everyone

[39:56]together Allah Allah Allah oh Allah hasten the reappearance of our Master

[40:11]Al IM Ali oh Allah all those who are ill who've asked

[40:17]us for Dua grant them a speedy recovery oh Allah all those

[40:20]who are distressed grant them a speedy relief oh Allah our brothers

[40:24]and sisters who are being massacred in Gaza give them a speedy

[40:28]Victory oh Allah forgive us our sins oh Allah grant us the

[40:39]sh ofuh oh Allah grant us the Z of muham muhamad
