We ask a loss sub Hannah huata Alah, to bless him and 9 00:01:23,079 --> 00:01:27,640 to bless the noble and pure family of his, and to bless all his 10 00:01:27,719 --> 00:01:33,000 companions, and to bless every single one of us, to bless our offspring 11 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,640 those who come up to the day of Kayama. The ala subnahuwat Alah. 12 00:01:36,719 --> 00:01:41,959 Keep us steadfast on this dean, beloved brothers and sisters in Islam. We 13 00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:46,760 have been going through the life story the most beautiful story in the Quran. 14 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:52,000 As the Quran says as alas sub hannahuata Alah says, this evening in Charlah, 15 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,359 we will complete the story. Yusuf Alai is Salam or the prophet Joseph, 16 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,159 May peace be upon him. He had had a plan to keep his 17 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:06,480 brother in Egypt where he was and the other brothers. From amongst them, 18 00:02:06,599 --> 00:02:12,080 one decided to stay back because he said, we had promised our father that 19 00:02:12,199 --> 00:02:15,439 we will bring this other brother back, whose name was Binyamin or Benjamin. 20 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,960 And because he is not with us, I am too embarrassed. I cannot 21 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,199 face my father. I will not be able to go there. You people 22 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,039 go there and talk to him. And when they went to their father, 23 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,560 they told their father, you can ask the people we came with. Your 24 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,360 son was a thief. He stole and this is what happened. And the 25 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,639 father says, a a la mumin alla him a la ta lamun. I 26 00:02:38,719 --> 00:02:43,719 know from Allah that which you don't know. He says, my patience is 27 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,960 very, very beautiful, and we made mention of this yesterday. Now they 28 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,719 had already told him that, look, there is no point in keeping on 29 00:02:52,960 --> 00:03:00,319 remembering Yusuf, because he told them go and try and look for you and 30 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:10,560 the brother. Yeah Anihabu fata has saso me oh soufar, while as mirrah 31 00:03:10,879 --> 00:03:23,479 in in, I assume your raw in in uncomunk. He told him, 32 00:03:23,479 --> 00:03:28,719 Look, my children, I am instructing you to go and try and look 33 00:03:28,759 --> 00:03:32,360 for Yusuf and his brother, and don't lose hope in the mercy of a 34 00:03:32,439 --> 00:03:38,800 loss sub Hannah hawat Alah. For indeed, the only people who lose hope 35 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:44,159 in the mercy of the Almighty are those who disbelieve. Now a lesson for 36 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,960 us in life, we lose hope small things, small matters, lost a 37 00:03:49,039 --> 00:03:53,680 job, lost hope, lost a wife, lost hope, someone passes away, 38 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,800 lost hope. What is this? Malsub Hannah hawat Alah. Grant us 39 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:02,159 strength in our belief because the Koran says, and this would not have been 40 00:04:02,199 --> 00:04:06,879 in the Koran if it was wrong. The Koran says, no one loses 41 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:13,199 hope in the almighties mercy besides the one who disbelieves in him. And why 42 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,839 is this? Because Allah says a rahman in Rahim, he is the most 43 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:23,560 forgiving, most merciful. So if Allah is the most merciful, how can 44 00:04:23,639 --> 00:04:27,199 me or you lose hope in the mercy of alass of hannahua to Allah. 45 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,639 This was something for the brothers of Joseph made peace be upon him yusuf alaihi 46 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,199 saaland it was impossible to them. They got rid of him a long time 47 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:39,639 ago. He was gone. But here's the father, still with hope. 48 00:04:41,399 --> 00:04:46,839 And years had passed, it is reported. Some historians say twenty five years, 49 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,319 some say thirty years, some say forty years. Some take it as 50 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:55,839 far as eighty years having passed. Whatever it is, decades had passed, 51 00:04:56,439 --> 00:04:59,319 and here is the man with hope in a loss of hannahwa alah, making 52 00:04:59,399 --> 00:05:02,759 to av every day, day in day out without losing hope. How many 53 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,600 of us when we make do ar to a loss of hanahwat alah for something, 54 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,920 we say, yeah, Rabbi rabiya Allah, grant us, grant us. 55 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,240 And after a few days we start losing hope. You know, I 56 00:05:13,319 --> 00:05:15,959 don't have this. It's been so many years past, and I'm making to 57 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,720 ur to Allah, it's not coming we Allah. He I swear by Allah 58 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,560 that dua on its own, together with the hope, is an act of 59 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:30,000 worship that would probably qualify a person free entry into paradise, So don't lose 60 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,879 hope, because it is a sign of belief that a loss of Hannah Howat 61 00:05:32,879 --> 00:05:35,399 Alah wanted us to make do us. So we are making to our. 62 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:40,000 So here you have a nabe of a loss of Hannah howat Alah making do 63 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,360 aur for another nabee who was his son of a loss of Hannah awat Alah, 64 00:05:44,439 --> 00:05:46,439 meaning the nabee of a loss of Hannah awat Alah. Use of Alat 65 00:05:46,519 --> 00:05:51,439 is salah, tou was sellah. So the children decide, okay, this 66 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:58,160 father of ours, we know that he's just keeping on mentioning the same thing 67 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,560 again and again and again, and he is just saying it. They even 68 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,120 told him, you know what, you'd better stop uttering all this because you'll 69 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:08,680 die saying this. You know, sometimes when we get irritated, we tell 70 00:06:08,759 --> 00:06:12,199 someone why are you repeating this? You'll die saying this, which means when 71 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,079 are you ever going to stop saying it? Is it dead that's going to 72 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,519 make you stop? So this was roughly the question they asked their own father. 73 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:24,759 But when they needed food again and they found the drought was prolonging, 74 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:30,360 the drought was long, and they didn't have much merchandise to go and pay 75 00:06:30,439 --> 00:06:33,480 for it because although it was subsidized and they had their own plan. We 76 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,560 don't have the details of what exactly the plan was, but they had to 77 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:42,839 pay something minor and collect the grain and come back. So now they decided. 78 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:47,360 You know, our father, he has now turned blind. Why because 79 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,680 of his concern and because of his tears. Too much crime can mess up 80 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:57,439 your eyesight, and at the same time, together with worry and stress, 81 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:02,040 it can also cause deterioration in your eyesights. Malas subanahwa ta Allah protect us 82 00:07:02,319 --> 00:07:09,560 from stress, and may alas subnahwa ta Allah protect us from crying for nothing. 83 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,639 But we should be crying for the sake of Allah sudhanah Allah. Some 84 00:07:13,839 --> 00:07:17,360 people they watch a movie, they start crying, but you read Huran and 85 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,680 they don't want to cry. Well, Lahi, you see Anthony Quinn being 86 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:27,199 murdered and the tears in the eyes that man was paid and what you're seeing 87 00:07:27,319 --> 00:07:30,839 is ketchup or tomato sauce. It's not blood. And here's the people are 88 00:07:30,959 --> 00:07:34,879 crying la hu akbar. And when you tell them a verse of the Koran, 89 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:39,560 it doesn't shake them. May Allah make us from those whom when the 90 00:07:39,639 --> 00:07:44,000 Koran is read, oh hey dand I mean that's a sign of iman. 91 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,040 When the Koran is recited, the power of it goes straight down your spine 92 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,000 and you feel it on your hey. This is a sign of iman. 93 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:56,920 The Kuran says it. And we've mentioned the verse. Let's repeat it in 94 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:07,600 malm mean ala either don or la hujil and color boom what either toni andiam 95 00:08:09,519 --> 00:08:20,800 yeah to zada tom ima are on beahm yaw. The true believers are those 96 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,800 whom, when Allah is mentioned, their hearts tremble, and when the verses 97 00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:28,519 of the Kurana recited, it increases their belief in a loss of Hannah hot 98 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:33,639 alah. Their conviction is increased and they lay their full trust in a loss 99 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:39,480 of Hannah how Allah. In another verse, the losses allaha zala asan al 100 00:08:39,639 --> 00:08:50,039 Hadi think it a bam matthanim in hu ju no dun leavina sha or on 101 00:08:50,320 --> 00:09:03,720 bahom beautiful description dom mataliino juno doom, color boom, loving can Allah has 102 00:09:03,879 --> 00:09:09,399 revealed a beautiful book that has in it verses that are repeated many times. 103 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,600 We have in the Poran verses that are repeated many times, a beautiful book 104 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:24,039 with similar verses that the skins of those who purely believe in Allah they tighten 105 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,399 up with goose bumps when they hear these verses, and after that the skins 106 00:09:28,519 --> 00:09:35,519 loosen up, the hearts softened towards the remembrance of Allah. What a beautiful 107 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,799 description of the poran. I'm sure we felt it. Annahuwat Alah accept it 108 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:45,960 from us. So Yusuf alihi Salam sitting in authority in Egypt, and his 109 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,879 brothers walk in, and a loss of Hanahuatala says they now spoke to him 110 00:09:50,639 --> 00:09:58,360 Phalamdakluli. As they entered, he obviously noticed that their condition is slightly different 111 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:03,799 than now. Somber they are. They are now more humbled and so on. 112 00:10:03,039 --> 00:10:09,840 You can notice when a person has prolonged difficulty, they are humbled shanata 113 00:10:09,919 --> 00:10:15,919 grant as humbleness without difficulty. We must not wait for difficulty to come in 114 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,480 our lives before we land on the ground. No, we should Inshallah be 115 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:26,279 on the ground the proper level humbleness, humility, mantawada alillah. Here Ahulah. 116 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:31,679 We've mentioned the hadith. Whoever humbles themselves for the sake of Allah Allah 117 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:37,320 will raise their ranks subhana Lah, and whoever wants to be proud and arrogant, 118 00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:45,039 Allah drops him down onto the ground. So alas is carl yeah ha 119 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:52,600 lazizumasana ah oh you who is in authority? Oh Aziz? He was given 120 00:10:52,639 --> 00:10:56,120 a position. It was known as al Aziz. He was the one in 121 00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,840 authority. He had the say and the clouds in Egypt was given because of 122 00:11:00,879 --> 00:11:05,399 his knowledge. From this we also learn they called a man from the prison 123 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,720 in order to lead them, because they gave that authority to the one whom 124 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:15,919 it is most deserving, or to the one whom it is most deserving. 125 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:22,120 Upon we learn from this, don't be shy to make as your leader the 126 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:26,360 one who deserves the post and who is able and capable, even if you 127 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:31,559 and he might not be looking eye to eye. This is what happened here 128 00:11:33,039 --> 00:11:37,360 with us. No, we will propel into positions of leadership those whom we 129 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,159 know they are our friends. If they become leaders, we'll make money out 130 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:45,200 of it. Then we love that leadership. Or if they become powerful, 131 00:11:45,279 --> 00:11:52,799 then our agenda is served. Mallah protectors. Remember Rasulu la Saselam speaks about 132 00:11:52,919 --> 00:11:58,480 destruction, and he says either with sid al amru Ela ri ahlihi fan Taisha. 133 00:12:01,279 --> 00:12:05,919 When authority is given to the one who is inappropriate for that position, 134 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,960 then you can wait for the hour, which means Karama is coming. There 135 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:16,759 are two interpretations to this. Anything that is given to a person who doesn't 136 00:12:16,879 --> 00:12:22,080 deserve, or who doesn't know, or who is incapable to look after or 137 00:12:22,159 --> 00:12:26,399 to be in authority over it is the end of that particular item. It 138 00:12:26,519 --> 00:12:28,840 is the end of that committee. It is the end of that country. 139 00:12:30,039 --> 00:12:31,919 It is the end of that company, It is the end of that business, 140 00:12:33,039 --> 00:12:35,679 it is the end of that family. When you put at the top 141 00:12:35,759 --> 00:12:39,120 someone who doesn't know anything about it, it's over. That is one of 142 00:12:39,159 --> 00:12:41,639 the meanings of the Hadid, which is an authentic narration of Rasulu la allah 143 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:46,759 Ahasulam, and he warns us. Secondly, when you notice on the globe 144 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,919 that all goes in authority are people who know nothing about that particular field, 145 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,840 you must know Kayama is also very close. The world is going to come 146 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,360 to an end. So you have a person leading the most powerful country in 147 00:12:58,399 --> 00:13:03,679 the world reading a book upside down, you know there's a problem. Malasub 148 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:09,080 hanahawat Alah Safeguardess really Malasu hanahawat Alah, open our doors and grant us a 149 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:13,120 deep understanding, because if that is happening everywhere across the globe, then really 150 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,919 we have a crisis. People who don't know how to solve a problem are 151 00:13:18,039 --> 00:13:22,440 made our betrators in order to solve people's problems. What is that? So 152 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,279 this is one very important point we learned from the story of Yusuf Adai Salam. 153 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:30,799 They did not have pride in them. That's why they succeeded. If 154 00:13:30,879 --> 00:13:33,480 that king was too proud, he would have said, no, that man's 155 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,720 an inmate. How can we bring him in here and give him authority even 156 00:13:35,759 --> 00:13:39,960 over us? They told him, do as you want. Yesterday I was 157 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,279 speaking to one brother from Syria who is sitting in our midst and he says, 158 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,480 my father, he farms olives. And he says, you know, 159 00:13:48,039 --> 00:13:50,159 every time he used to. This is a true story, the brother told 160 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:54,080 me yesterday. Here he says, every time we harvested the olives and we 161 00:13:54,159 --> 00:13:58,720 wanted to squeeze them and so on. The shelf life or the life of 162 00:13:58,799 --> 00:14:03,279 that olive was very short. In a short time, it would become unusable. 163 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:11,879 So my father decided to follow Sura Yusuf where Yusuf valet is Salam told 164 00:14:11,919 --> 00:14:16,240 this king that that corn, meaning the wheat, leave it on its corn, 165 00:14:16,399 --> 00:14:18,559 don't take it out, save it whilst it's on its corn, and 166 00:14:20,039 --> 00:14:22,320 you will be able to use it seven years later. So he says, 167 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,559 what we decided to do, leave the olives with the branch and the leaves, 168 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:31,440 and then we found its shelf life was increased amazingly. Now the same 169 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,360 applies to lichies in our part of the globe. The same applies mashallah to 170 00:14:35,759 --> 00:14:41,720 maize. They leave it covered, everything closed, exactly as it grew. 171 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:46,440 The shelf life is longer automatic, natural nature. From Allah who inspired use 172 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,320 of aalet Salam to say this? It was Allah, Well, lie when 173 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,840 I heard it. The brother was talking to me there, and I said, 174 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,279 in Challah, I will have to say this because it's important and it 175 00:14:56,399 --> 00:14:58,799 is true. We know it in our lives as well, but it's in 176 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,240 the Koran. We take it for an't it. It's a lesson we learn 177 00:15:01,799 --> 00:15:07,240 now. Yusuf adahi Salam. He hears them saying, oh, as ease, 178 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:15,080 we have been afflicted. Our family has been afflicted by some harm. 179 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,399 We have been harmed. Meaning we are in a situation that is very difficult. 180 00:15:20,799 --> 00:15:28,080 Baby a team USA and we have come with merchandise to pay for our 181 00:15:28,159 --> 00:15:31,879 grain. But our merchandise is not even grand. It might not even be 182 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:35,440 enough, and it won't be of the proper quality. So firstly, we 183 00:15:35,559 --> 00:15:37,639 are suffering. We are going through a lot of turmoil in our family. 184 00:15:37,879 --> 00:15:45,159 There's a lot of problem. There is difficulty for our feel and ala alaina. 185 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:52,639 So grant us our ration and just be charitable, give us a sadakakabar 186 00:15:52,879 --> 00:15:58,279 alain. Grant us charity. Be charitable, charitable in the sense that one 187 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,519 brother of ours, you got him with you, please send him with us. 188 00:16:02,159 --> 00:16:04,759 And another thing is overlook the fact that our merchandise is not that grand. 189 00:16:04,799 --> 00:16:07,559 Please still give us this grain and let us take it and go with 190 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,240 Now this is a blood brother. He couldn't take it more than that. 191 00:16:11,759 --> 00:16:17,399 Now he's the blood brother. He needs to know because obviously you see that 192 00:16:17,639 --> 00:16:21,720 he feels. My brothers are now asking me and they are telling me that 193 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,120 we have a problem back at home and this is the situation. He looks 194 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:32,759 at them and he says, karla hala alim to mafaal to be Usuf is 195 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,600 Tumjahino. He says, I want to ask you one question. Do you 196 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,320 know what you did to Yusuf and his brother? Whilst you people were ignorant, 197 00:16:41,399 --> 00:16:47,799 They were shocked. Why nobody knows about Yusuf, No one, It's 198 00:16:47,879 --> 00:16:52,519 either them or Yusuf himself. When he said that, they immediately knew this 199 00:16:52,679 --> 00:17:03,400 man is Yusuf Carlo innakala alta Yosuf. Are you Yusuf allah an aosuf ai 200 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:14,319 god man Allah? While in in my attack, WHI else bill for in 201 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:22,359 Allah Allah? Are you doing a jo almini? He says, I am 202 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:27,319 yoursuf, and this is my brother. Indeed, Allah has blessed us in 203 00:17:27,519 --> 00:17:33,519 so many ways, and definitely those who bear patience, those who are conscious 204 00:17:33,599 --> 00:17:40,160 of Allah and bear patience, Allah will never waste the reward of those who 205 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:45,599 do good deeds. So he immediately spoke to them. He says, look, 206 00:17:45,279 --> 00:17:48,240 yes, you are right, I am Yusuf. This is my brother. 207 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:56,279 He didn't now try and speak to them arrogantly. He just told them, 208 00:17:56,279 --> 00:18:00,039 look, I want to tell you something. Allah always rewards those who 209 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:04,880 have two qualities in them, the quality of takua and the quality of sabal. 210 00:18:06,079 --> 00:18:08,359 You need to have both those qualities. Allah will not waste your deeds. 211 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:14,920 Alasuhnahwat Alah says, Maya Taki whyls bid. You need takua, you 212 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,720 need the consciousness of a lasub Hannah hawat Alah, and you need the suburb 213 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,599 You need patience, you need perseverance. It's important for us all to know 214 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:29,200 that success does not come without consciousness of Allah, and success will not come 215 00:18:29,279 --> 00:18:33,359 without patience. I want to pause here for a moment and tell you something. 216 00:18:34,079 --> 00:18:41,279 The Sura was revealed in makatul Mukarama when alasub Hannah hawat Alah chose a 217 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,759 moment and the time to reveal the Surah. The prophets all Allahu Alesalam had 218 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,039 just lost his wife, the most beloved to him, Kadija Tabinti Hueli d 219 00:18:49,079 --> 00:18:56,079 Rady Allahu Anha, this great woman Kadijah Raddi Allahu Anha. He had just 220 00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:00,519 lost her. And then he loses his uncle Abu Talib, who had been 221 00:19:00,559 --> 00:19:03,720 a pillar of support. And then he goes to Taif and he is beaten 222 00:19:03,839 --> 00:19:10,599 up in Taif and he comes out of tha If meaning they blasphemed him, 223 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:15,960 or should I say they really disrespected him In Thai if in the greatest way 224 00:19:15,039 --> 00:19:19,759 possible physically, they tried to harm him, and they tried to Alasu anahwa 225 00:19:19,839 --> 00:19:26,079 tala protect us all. And as he comes back, Alas says, we 226 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,400 are going to reveal to you the most beautiful of stories. Here is the 227 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,039 story. So the story of Yusuf Alai is Salam was revealed in what is 228 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,759 known as amul Husen, the year of sadness, that is the same year 229 00:19:36,839 --> 00:19:38,880 that the prophets all Allahu Alahu was Selam was taken up to what is known 230 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:45,319 as mihaj also a gift from Alasu ana Awatalah. And Alas says, here 231 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:49,480 you bear patience, oh Muhammad Salallah Ali is Slam. Look how long this 232 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:56,079 man suffered Yusuf alai Islam. Look what he went through. And Alas says 233 00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:00,119 He also says, if you have takua and sober, Allah will not to 234 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,960 waste the reward of those who do good. Layu do by our means to 235 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:08,839 waste to go in vain. Allah says no, if you have takua and 236 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:14,559 sabber, your reward will come. But just be patient. Lahu Akaba and 237 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,920 Mohammed sarala A Salam was so happy. The story brought a lot of comfort 238 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:23,799 to his heart. Sala lah alai so yusuf a Salah was salam. Immediately 239 00:20:25,079 --> 00:20:37,160 he paused, These people uttered words kanu tlahi lakad sarah kalami in in kunalahati 240 00:20:37,279 --> 00:20:42,920 in. They said, Walahi, we swear by Allah, Allah has elevated 241 00:20:44,039 --> 00:20:48,000 you above us. We were definitely wrong in what we did. Now look 242 00:20:48,079 --> 00:20:52,759 at how they had planned his downfall. They wanted to kill him. They 243 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,440 threw him in the well. And what Allah did as a result, he 244 00:20:56,759 --> 00:21:00,720 raised those pole if he raised this man so oh Hi above these people, 245 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:06,839 that they food depended on him after a loss of anahatta, they had to 246 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,559 come begging with a bowl like this to say we need food. Tasadaka alina, 247 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,200 give us a charity here. Look, so this is why I never 248 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,799 planned the downfall of someone. There is a chance that through that planning they 249 00:21:18,839 --> 00:21:21,799 will get a lot of success. Look at Mohammad saraalaha Allah. He was 250 00:21:21,799 --> 00:21:27,599 seldom They planned his downfall in Mecca. They literally threw him out of Makanaugabilah. 251 00:21:29,079 --> 00:21:33,680 And what did that result? In the great migration the Hidra. The 252 00:21:33,799 --> 00:21:38,319 doors were opened to another territory of Madina Munawara, and Islam grew from Medina 253 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:44,640 far greater than these people of Macca ever dreamt of. Until one day he 254 00:21:44,759 --> 00:21:47,839 came back to Mecca victorious. And I'm going to mention that in a few 255 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:52,720 moments here Yusuf Adai Islam tells his brothers immediately he didn't wait for more words 256 00:21:52,759 --> 00:21:56,000 of praise, and he didn't start patting himself and saying, right, you 257 00:21:56,079 --> 00:21:57,359 see now, I'm going to punish you. You see this. No, 258 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:03,000 there was no word, no time for that, no negative word. He 259 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:14,720 immediately says, lad atiba alain kum on yam yaofilak whuhamon Rahimi, no blame 260 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,319 upon you today. I don't want to know anything. It's all over, 261 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:23,960 forgiven and forgotten. Let's talk about something else, Lahu Akbar. And he 262 00:22:25,039 --> 00:22:27,559 started talking of the shit. He says, I'm really I'm taking out my 263 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,720 shirt because I've heard what happened to our father. He's lost his sight. 264 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,559 Take this to him, and isha Allah, when you cast it over him, 265 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,519 his eyesight will return by the will of Allah. So Hannah hawata Anna. 266 00:22:41,519 --> 00:22:45,240 Now Muhammad saraalahu Adah. He was Alam when he came back to Mecca 267 00:22:45,559 --> 00:22:49,640 victorious, exactly the same way he didn't come, you know, standing and 268 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,240 beating drums and telling people I'm winning and so on, and raising his hands. 269 00:22:53,319 --> 00:22:57,000 Nothing. He was down on his camel. His head was so down. 270 00:22:57,079 --> 00:23:02,319 He was in sujud He was in to Judo subhana lah. His head 271 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:06,759 was right down. It was almost touching the back of the camel. S 272 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:11,720 La lah alai. He was seldom and he entered thanking Allah sudhanah alaiy Allah, 273 00:23:11,839 --> 00:23:15,119 You've granted me victory over these people who have prepared armies to come and 274 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,279 fight me, who have tried to kill me, who have killed so many 275 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,359 of my companions, my relatives, my cousins, my uncles, so many 276 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,359 of them have been murdered, mass murdered by these people. Ya Allah, 277 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:29,279 Today you are giving me victory. He looks at Korajh Yeah, Mashara Korash, 278 00:23:29,519 --> 00:23:33,640 mother Taruna and nefa Ailumbkul or people of Korash. What do you think 279 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:40,480 I'm going to do to you today? They were at his mercy, really, 280 00:23:40,599 --> 00:23:42,680 because he had one hundred thousand he was. He came in with a 281 00:23:42,759 --> 00:23:45,799 large army. There was no ways they were going to face him after so 282 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:51,079 many years, similar to what happened to us off Alai Salam. So they 283 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:56,079 looked at him and their leaders told him, we hope that it is something 284 00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:00,839 good, because you are Ahun Karim wabunu ahink In. You are an honorable 285 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:06,799 brother, the son of a noble man, an honorable brother. He says, 286 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,640 I am not going to tell you anything besides what Joseph told his brothers. 287 00:24:11,839 --> 00:24:17,759 What use of Alai Salam told his brothers La tati by alai Kumuliam, 288 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,759 no blame upon you today I habu and tumutu lakal go. All of you 289 00:24:22,839 --> 00:24:27,759 are free. So La lah Ali he was seldam. He sought no retribution. 290 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,559 S La lahu Ali, he was slam. There were a few criminals 291 00:24:30,799 --> 00:24:34,400 who were dug out. The rest of them were let loose, nothing to 292 00:24:34,519 --> 00:24:38,920 be mentioned. So many of them accepted Islam on the occasion of that fatah 293 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:44,480 and that victory because they were witnessing in the bee of Allah. Sala lah 294 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,599 ALIHI was slam Allah suhana Alah Granta's lesson. This lesson we also find it 295 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,079 in Surah Yusuf. He tells his brothers no blame on you. Today, 296 00:24:53,839 --> 00:24:57,480 Allah will forgive you, for indeed He is most forgiving, most merciful. 297 00:25:00,279 --> 00:25:11,160 You see for a unco tivas what to nei be alikum agine mine, take 298 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:15,920 my shirt, Go and place it on your father, Cast it over him 299 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:19,000 in shah lah. His eyesight will become clear once again. And bring the 300 00:25:19,039 --> 00:25:26,119 whole family and come here. They were suffering. There they expressed their sadness 301 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,680 and their condition. And here he is saying, bring them all and come 302 00:25:29,759 --> 00:25:33,759 and live in Egypt. Come so a loss of Hannah, howat Alya say, 303 00:25:33,759 --> 00:25:37,799 is now we take him the scene back there where yakub ad is Salam 304 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,279 was the father. He couldn't see. He had lost his sight. Whether 305 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,480 it was a cataract or what have you. Only Allah knows best exactly what 306 00:25:44,599 --> 00:25:48,279 it was. But what we do know somehow the sweat of use of alaih 307 00:25:48,319 --> 00:25:52,599 his sadah to a Salam, it had resulted in the cure of these eyes 308 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,400 by the will of a loss of Hannah. Howat Ala for your information today, 309 00:25:55,759 --> 00:26:00,759 as we're speaking, there are studies in the Western world as to how 310 00:26:00,839 --> 00:26:07,400 some of that which is found in the sweat of a human being can be 311 00:26:07,599 --> 00:26:15,200 used to cure the cataract Subhanaa. And these are studies that are at a 312 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,359 very advanced stage. You can actually check it out. The world is now 313 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:22,319 just a little global village and you can see what we're talking about. It's 314 00:26:22,319 --> 00:26:26,160 amazing, it's amazing. We spoke about all of us moments ago from Soda 315 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,599 Yusuf. Now we're speaking about these eye drops and something to do with the 316 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:41,200 eyes. Suba Ala Grant is understanding. So alas is oulama fasoli cola boom 317 00:26:41,759 --> 00:27:00,240 in elajiduri a yosufa la la ollafiedo carutalai in a cola fi Balaliclucardi him. 318 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:04,400 On one hand, the caravan is leaving Egypt, going towards Yakub Balai his 319 00:27:04,519 --> 00:27:10,079 salam with the shirt, and on the other hand, yakubala is salam so 320 00:27:10,279 --> 00:27:14,799 many hundreds of kilometers away, is saying, oh my people, I know 321 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,880 I can't see, but I can definitely smell Yusuf. I can smell him. 322 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:22,880 I can smell him. He is coming near and the people around him 323 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,519 are saying, no, man, you are fildala kadim. You just have 324 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:30,799 this obsession and what you've been saying all along for all these years, you're 325 00:27:30,839 --> 00:27:34,079 just repeating it, and it's probably something that you're going to now need to 326 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:41,359 forget because this is out of a question. And suddenly the caravan appears love 327 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:57,279 Akaba Palam alashiro Ala fed dabas adam a coulacum in lam in allah him alaalamo 328 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:06,440 on Akaba. When the caravan came, they took the shirt and they cast 329 00:28:06,519 --> 00:28:11,200 it over him, and his eyes became clear once again, and the story 330 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,720 was manifest open loud for everybody to read. He says, Oh, my 331 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,079 children, oh my people, didn't I tell you I know something from Allah 332 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:26,160 that you people do not know. Now the children are embarrassed because they need 333 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:30,920 to face their father years of what they did for your information. Had they 334 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:36,359 not done what they they did, where would you sub Ali Slam have been 335 00:28:37,319 --> 00:28:42,319 alas Ubhanahuatla's plan was such alas as they planned and we had a plan. 336 00:28:42,759 --> 00:28:47,680 And look at the end of that plan. In another place in the Koran 337 00:28:47,759 --> 00:29:00,960 alass Wama kaum Karamama Karnam Karamla shown found Kayakana kibant my kiddy him in another 338 00:29:02,039 --> 00:29:06,240 place in the Quran regarding another Nabi. But we want to use that example 339 00:29:06,359 --> 00:29:14,119 here. Allas says they planned and alas subhanahuata Allah planned without them even feeling 340 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,880 what the plan of Allah was. So now look at the outcome of their 341 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:25,759 plan. It resulted in their own destruction. Akaba. When people plot against 342 00:29:25,839 --> 00:29:30,079 you or against me, don't worry when we should be worried when we plot 343 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:34,079 against somebody else. This is when we should be worried. Why we should 344 00:29:34,119 --> 00:29:38,200 not engage in that type of behavior and that type of activity continue. We 345 00:29:38,319 --> 00:29:41,880 are always taught when you see a crooked line, don't waste your time trying 346 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,960 to straighten it. Draw a straight line next to it, and walk away. 347 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,559 Those who are passing by will say that's a crooked line. This is 348 00:29:48,599 --> 00:29:51,440 a straight line, and they will also benefit from it. But if you're 349 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,319 going to fight your whole life trying to plan and plot and do this and 350 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,960 do that, people will look at you and they think you're also part of 351 00:29:56,039 --> 00:30:03,400 the crooked line. Now alas sunnahuata Alakranto's goodness and safety. So alasu hanahwat 352 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:10,839 Ala says, these young men who were the sons of Yakuballeh Salam yeah Abana 353 00:30:12,319 --> 00:30:19,720 in Kunakati in oh our father seek forgiveness for our sin. We are definitely 354 00:30:19,839 --> 00:30:22,880 wrong. We were totally wrong. At least they're admitting the sin. Now 355 00:30:25,359 --> 00:30:30,359 alas Hannah Allah grant us the ability to admit our sins and to repent to 356 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:34,079 Allah before it is too late. We need to turn to alasu Hannah Hawatana. 357 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:38,359 This evening again powerful verses. We have read in the Quran so many 358 00:30:38,799 --> 00:30:41,720 that it is impossible for us to talk about all of them in a few 359 00:30:41,799 --> 00:30:45,960 minutes. But in a nutshell, it is important for us to turn to 360 00:30:47,039 --> 00:30:52,160 Allah alasis. The verses we read this evening in the Taruha alas is kulla 361 00:30:53,039 --> 00:31:02,799 kumun pharah in far to min ALMAUTI will katon way the land to matterna in 362 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:11,240 Kranila Ohhammad sal lah al Seldam. Tell them that it will not benefit you 363 00:31:11,359 --> 00:31:14,759 at all if you think you are going to run away from death or from 364 00:31:14,839 --> 00:31:18,000 being killed or dying in the way Allah wants. And if you think you 365 00:31:18,079 --> 00:31:21,359 have missed death, you should know that you still don't have to die. 366 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,319 Many of us are saved from a car crash. We come out unscathed, 367 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:30,000 and sometimes we were sick and ill. The doctors gave us two hours twenty 368 00:31:30,119 --> 00:31:33,079 hours and what happened. It's now twenty years. We're still alive. It 369 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:37,319 has happened many people. But death has to still come to you no matter 370 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:41,039 what. This is what Alla is saying in the Qur'an that if you think 371 00:31:41,119 --> 00:31:42,920 you ran away from death, don't worry. It is still behind you. 372 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:48,359 It has to come al MoU to babunkulu na si da Riloh. Death is 373 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:52,279 a door that every single person has to enter. There's no ways that you 374 00:31:52,319 --> 00:31:55,720 can run away from it. So prepare for that day. Well, Hi. 375 00:31:55,799 --> 00:31:57,880 A winner is the one who abstains from sin. A winner is the 376 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:02,599 one who constantly sacrifices for Allah. We spoke about Takua and suburb and we 377 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:07,359 said that is what will result in the success of a human being. Ala 378 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:17,119 Granta's success. So Yakuba Salam tells his sons calas Ola Kumra be in Allah 379 00:32:17,759 --> 00:32:23,400 Rahim. He says, I will ask Allah to forgive you because he is 380 00:32:23,519 --> 00:32:29,519 most forgiving, most merciful. Now the wedding here is very powerful. They 381 00:32:29,559 --> 00:32:36,119 didn't say, Oh Father, forgive us, Oh Father, seek Allah's forgiveness 382 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:40,160 for us, Oh Father, seek Allah's forgiveness for us. We were wrong. 383 00:32:40,599 --> 00:32:44,599 The father is Annabe. He says, I will seek the forgiveness of 384 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:49,079 Allah for you, because he is the owner of forgiveness. Suhannah Ala, 385 00:32:49,119 --> 00:32:55,480 grant us forgiveness. Now the beauty lahu akbar. They all left and everyone 386 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:59,720 was excited, and they started the caravan set out and they're now going to 387 00:32:59,799 --> 00:33:04,039 eat and a loss of Hannah. Howat Ala is describing yusuf aalet Sadam preparing 388 00:33:04,279 --> 00:33:09,319 to now meet them. And as they're entering Palam mad a dayo sofa ah 389 00:33:10,319 --> 00:33:28,319 Elia callad mislai shah along a meani what of lash so jada look at the 390 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:32,319 scene alas is the parents came in, the brothers came in. They all 391 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:37,039 walked in. Yusuvalet Islam was so happy to see his parents, masha law 392 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:43,200 and you can imagine the emotions and a loss of Hannah. Howatla says, 393 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:50,720 they raised him upon a throne and he they had prostrated down prostrated and he 394 00:33:50,799 --> 00:33:58,000 looks and he sees father, mother and eleven brothers and he says, yeah, 395 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:05,799 abati ha that o we no yaya mean comble de ja'lah and be hal 396 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,440 call oh my father. This is the meaning of that dream that I had 397 00:34:09,519 --> 00:34:14,840 had a long long time ago. Allah made it come true. I see 398 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:16,400 the sun, the moon, and eleven stars. Today, my mother, 399 00:34:16,519 --> 00:34:22,039 my father, and here the eleven brothers. Now it is prohibited for us 400 00:34:22,079 --> 00:34:24,599 to put our head on the ground for anyone besides Allah in our Shariah, 401 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:29,199 in the law that has come with Muhammed Salahu alaih was Alam, your head 402 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,840 goes on the ground solely for your maker, nobody else, whoever made you, 403 00:34:32,079 --> 00:34:35,920 whoever you're going to return to, that is the one and only. 404 00:34:37,119 --> 00:34:40,280 But in that Shariah, in order to acknowledge the level and the status of 405 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:45,559 a person, out of respect, they bowed down and they engaged in sujud. 406 00:34:46,199 --> 00:34:50,199 Obviously with us, it's not allowed because people might ask how come they 407 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,360 did sujud? So we need to clarify that. So Allah suhnahuata ala, 408 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:59,559 then says Yusuvaleh is Salam. He was one of the most powerful men you 409 00:34:59,599 --> 00:35:02,639 could have. He had the control over the Egyptian Empire, the Kingdom of 410 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:07,000 Egypt. Powerful. It was one of the biggest and the most powerful of 411 00:35:07,079 --> 00:35:12,000 the time. And he had so much wealth. He was the one giving 412 00:35:12,119 --> 00:35:15,800 to everybody, and he had lots of good looks smash Allah. He was 413 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:20,920 the most beautiful human being you could have, so handsome, given from alaso 414 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,400 hannah Awa to Alah. He had wealth, he had authority, he had 415 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:28,719 everything you could think of. He had his parents now were here. He 416 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:30,960 had his brothers. They solved the problem in a minute. How did they 417 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:35,679 solve the problem? I need to pause there for a moment by one man 418 00:35:36,119 --> 00:35:39,199 who was right for giving those who were wrong totally, and he says, 419 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:43,199 listen, don't bring it up again. It's over. Forgive and forgotten. 420 00:35:43,519 --> 00:35:46,320 That's how you solve your problems in your houses. That's how you solve your 421 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:50,880 problems with your brothers and sisters. That's how you solve your problems with your 422 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:55,039 in laws and outlaws. Yes, you know they always use the term in 423 00:35:55,199 --> 00:35:59,760 law because I think that's where the lawyers come in Allas of Hannahua to Allah 424 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,760 grant a savior. I don't know why we look at people with skepticism. 425 00:36:04,039 --> 00:36:06,519 There is no need to do that, not at all. You need to 426 00:36:06,599 --> 00:36:09,159 have a clear heart. Life is too short to make our heart murky and 427 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:15,400 dirty. Open it. Forgive. When you forgive, you are liberated. 428 00:36:15,679 --> 00:36:19,679 Liberation meaning you feel free, you feel let loose machi Allah. But if 429 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,039 you don't forgive, you hold baggage, and it holds more, and it 430 00:36:22,199 --> 00:36:25,880 ties you with chains, and you feel so down, and you at night, 431 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,320 you are feeling so stressed. Why your heart has not forgiven? This 432 00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:34,519 is what you learned from the story of Yusuf aaleh Isalam. If he wanted, 433 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:38,039 he could have executed them, because he was in authority and they wanted 434 00:36:38,079 --> 00:36:43,480 to kill him. They could have gone for whatever you'd like to call it 435 00:36:43,559 --> 00:36:47,360 in terms of crime. He could have executed them all. But no, 436 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:52,280 he just looked at them and said, no problem, no blame upon you 437 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,159 today, don't worry a lie's most forgiving, most merciful. That's the last 438 00:36:55,199 --> 00:36:59,079 and the first thing he ever said about it. He never spoke about it 439 00:36:59,199 --> 00:37:04,159 again. And he lived with them so well. He gave them dwellings in 440 00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:07,000 Egypt. He let them do as they please. He made them people who 441 00:37:07,079 --> 00:37:10,719 were looked up to now in society and community. He never went around telling 442 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,840 the whole world that, you know, these are my brothers. This is 443 00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:15,199 what they did. You go back to the next man. You see these 444 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,480 brothers of mine, the crooks. You go back to the next man. 445 00:37:17,559 --> 00:37:20,800 You see these brothers of mine. They wanted to kill me. You go 446 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:22,880 to the next one. You see these brothers of mine? Why spread stories 447 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,920 all over? That is our weakness, the weakness of man. Let us 448 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,599 learn a lesson from the story. No point in going to complain about your 449 00:37:30,639 --> 00:37:32,599 own brethren to everybody else, not at all. We need to learn a 450 00:37:32,679 --> 00:37:37,960 lesson. Allah Subanah howat Alah. Grant has a good lesson. So here 451 00:37:37,039 --> 00:37:43,800 you have a powerful man. He's holding absolutely everything, and he says to 452 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,800 his to his father, he's making mention of the gifts of Allah Subanah howat 453 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:50,199 Alah. He says, this is the meaning of my dream. Number one. 454 00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:54,400 Number two. He continues and he says, well, are the ahsanabi 455 00:37:54,760 --> 00:38:00,800 is a Trajani mean a siegin? And Allah has really done me a favor 456 00:38:00,119 --> 00:38:05,800 by removing me from the jail. Stop and think about what he's saying. 457 00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:09,679 He says, Allah has bestowed a favor upon me by removing me from jail. 458 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:13,920 He didn't say, Allah punish me by letting me go into the jail. 459 00:38:14,159 --> 00:38:17,400 Although he went in wrongly, he was jailed. He looked at the 460 00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:22,360 positives and he says, Allah blessed me by taking me out of that negativity 461 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,880 a love akhabar. How many of us are prepared to look at the positives 462 00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:30,360 in our lives and ignore the negatives. It will really enhance us emotionally, 463 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:37,320 mentally, physically, spiritually. Look at the positives in life. Stop harping 464 00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:42,960 about the negatives in your life. You are being blinded by two negatives from 465 00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,639 another one hundred positives in your life. Why there are so many points of 466 00:38:46,679 --> 00:38:51,800 goodness in your life that really we all sometimes take for granted. May Allah 467 00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,599 open our eyes. May he grant us the ability to be thankful like Yusu 468 00:38:54,639 --> 00:38:59,280 Ali Sarama. And then he continues and he says again, look at the 469 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:07,039 power of his words. He says, w jaabikomminan badu. And Allah has 470 00:39:07,119 --> 00:39:13,559 really blessed me by bringing you people from those rural areas and bringing them here 471 00:39:14,199 --> 00:39:16,840 from the desert you came in. Allah bless me. He didn't say Allah 472 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:20,960 punished me by separating me for so many years from you. He didn't say 473 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,760 that. Look again, how positive his thinking is. Then he says, 474 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:35,280 mean badi and azara chipan baini bahina equity. This all happened after Shaitan caused 475 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,360 a difference between myself and my brothers. Remember we spoke a few days ago 476 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:44,000 about one young boy from amongst us who said that sometimes we can just blame 477 00:39:44,079 --> 00:39:46,559 Cha'than for our problems and solve our matter, which means, if I got 478 00:39:46,599 --> 00:39:49,920 a problem with you, you can say, look it was Shathan, and 479 00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,199 I can say look it was Shathan, and the two of us come together. 480 00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,119 At least we got Chathan to blame. Yusuvala Sada'm blamed Schathan. He 481 00:39:55,199 --> 00:39:59,400 says, look, my brothers are good, Shathan is bad. Chathan is 482 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,239 the one who was this problem. It is solved. We've taken Chipan out 483 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:07,719 of the equation. So now the two of us are united. Whenever you 484 00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,719 have disunity, you need to know Chaithan is playing the quicker. You identify 485 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:15,199 Chithan and remove him, and eradicate him, and take out your pride and 486 00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:19,119 come back down to the earth. Then the problem will be solved. Alasupnahwata 487 00:40:19,119 --> 00:40:24,400 Allah grant a solution to our Madison problems. In Rabi Latiful Maya Shah, 488 00:40:24,599 --> 00:40:29,000 the power of the Quran, the power of the words of these prophets of 489 00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,719 alas Supnah hawata Alah. And after that he makes it to up. Sitting 490 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:37,199 right at the top, he says, rob b oh my rub, oh 491 00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:49,519 my rub, God monkey ALAMII had it falsamaiti, Well, oh my rub. 492 00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:54,719 You have granted me so much in terms of authority and kingdom. You 493 00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:59,199 have given me so much, all this power that I have, all this 494 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,480 kingdom that I have, all this authority that I have, and over and 495 00:41:01,599 --> 00:41:06,320 above that, you gave me knowledge of certain items that other people do not 496 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,360 have the knowledge of. One of that was he had the knowledge of the 497 00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:14,360 interpretation of dreams. Someone seen a dream, they could go to him and 498 00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:16,480 tell him, we've seen this dream. He was able to tell you exactly 499 00:41:16,559 --> 00:41:20,880 what the meaning of the dream was. Look at this surah, beautifully, 500 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:24,159 it starts with a dream. The prison is so a dream. The king 501 00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:29,760 saw a dream, and when the prisoners saw if it was interpreted, when 502 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,320 the king saw if it was interpreted, and the main dream which started the 503 00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:38,119 surah, ends the surah with an interpretation physically of that particular dream. It's 504 00:41:38,119 --> 00:41:43,280 all about dreams. Now he makes it die, He says, alamton him 505 00:41:43,679 --> 00:41:49,440 lahadif. Then he says fa thera samawatim oh Allah, you are the one 506 00:41:49,679 --> 00:41:52,480 who created the skies in the earth. I might have clout, I might 507 00:41:52,559 --> 00:41:55,519 have authority, I might have power, I might have wealth, I might 508 00:41:55,559 --> 00:41:59,840 have good looks, I might have good health. All this means nothing when 509 00:41:59,920 --> 00:42:02,679 it comes to your own power and might. You are the giver, youah 510 00:42:02,679 --> 00:42:07,480 Allah, You are the one who gives. You are in supreme control. 511 00:42:07,599 --> 00:42:12,360 You made everything in the first place, us and our surroundings. Everything has 512 00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,119 been made by you, your Allah. This was a statement of Usu alai 513 00:42:15,199 --> 00:42:22,199 Islam. Then he says uh tauali ye lah Akama. You are my wali. 514 00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:27,719 You are my protector. The word wali it means a protector. You 515 00:42:28,079 --> 00:42:31,639 are the only one who protects me. You are my guardian. I will 516 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:37,039 not seek protection from anyone, but you are Allah. So I am asking 517 00:42:37,159 --> 00:42:39,079 you something. You're Allah. I want a favor from you. You are 518 00:42:39,079 --> 00:42:45,920 Allah, tawafani muslima al hakoni Bisali. I want two things from you. 519 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:50,480 You are Allah. I want you to cause my death in the state of 520 00:42:50,599 --> 00:42:54,480 submission to you. I want to be a slave of yours. I want 521 00:42:54,559 --> 00:42:59,320 to be submitted to you, your Allah. And I want you to join 522 00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:05,960 me with the pious whom you have chosen and selected lahu akabar, what a 523 00:43:06,039 --> 00:43:08,079 powerful do are We should also be making the same to add yea. Allah, 524 00:43:08,119 --> 00:43:12,280 You've given us clothing, You've given us food, You've given us goodness, 525 00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,280 You've given us so much. You've given us all the positives. We 526 00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:20,039 have so much from Allah. Tawafana Muslim, and all heckona is salahei Muslimina 527 00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:23,719 we all heckona is salahim oh Allah grant us death in a condition that we 528 00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:29,480 are Muslim Muslim meaning what is the meaning of Muslim? A one who surrenders 529 00:43:29,519 --> 00:43:32,519 to Allah. The one who surrenders to Allah grant us death in that condition. 530 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:37,199 He knew that all this is not going to last. All this I 531 00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:39,880 have here, I need Allah more than anything else. I need to start 532 00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:44,280 preparing for my death. But he was more powerful than any one of us. 533 00:43:44,519 --> 00:43:49,559 He had much more in any way than every single one of us put 534 00:43:49,599 --> 00:43:52,400 together. Loah akabar, use of valetsanam. And he's still preparing for his 535 00:43:52,559 --> 00:43:55,199 death. He says, Allah, who akabar ya Allah, I want you 536 00:43:55,519 --> 00:44:02,400 to grant me goodness. And this is when Alasu hannah Ala says to Muhammed 537 00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:12,920 sah Mohammed, seldom we have favored you that he came in like, these 538 00:44:13,039 --> 00:44:15,320 are the stories of the unseen, which you haven't seen. We have revealed 539 00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:28,880 them to you. Mac Neither you knew any of these stories, nor any 540 00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:32,800 one of your people knew these stories before we revealed it to you. So 541 00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:43,599 the lesson Alas says fuss b lo akabar so bad patience. Alas Hannah Ala 542 00:44:43,679 --> 00:44:46,119 is telling Mohammad, tell them to bad patience. This is in another place 543 00:44:46,159 --> 00:44:51,559 in the Koran where alas hanah Howat Alas says, first bird, so bad 544 00:44:51,679 --> 00:44:55,239 patience. The lesson The moral of the story be patients, don't worry. 545 00:44:55,440 --> 00:45:00,079 Goodness comes to those who wait for it. Those who are stead first don't 546 00:45:00,079 --> 00:45:02,920 lose hope in the mercy of Allah. And in this particular, Sura Alas 547 00:45:04,119 --> 00:45:14,480 is wama cotaladaihim ajma am rahum wahumam ko. You were not there when those 548 00:45:14,559 --> 00:45:19,840 brothers were planning their plot against Yusuf Alahi Salam. You were not there when 549 00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,920 they were doing all that, But we told it to you, as though 550 00:45:22,159 --> 00:45:27,719 now it feels like you were there. All of us who sat and heard 551 00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:30,159 the story, couldn't we picture it in our minds? That is the gift 552 00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:37,760 of Allah. So hannahawa to Alah and Alas is still wama akara stadim, 553 00:45:38,039 --> 00:45:43,760 meaning, no matter how hard you try, the majority of people won't believe. 554 00:45:44,679 --> 00:45:46,679 May Allah make us the exception. May He make us those who believe. 555 00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:50,159 May He make us those who learn a lesson. May He make us 556 00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:53,400 those who constantly learn from the Puran. There are so many lessons we've derived 557 00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:57,760 from Soura Yosuf. There are still more lessons, but in Sharlah we will 558 00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,039 leave that for another occasion tomorrow. In Charloah, we have an appointment by 559 00:46:00,079 --> 00:46:02,679 the will of a Las Supannah. Howate Alah, Yeah, with the life 560 00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:07,679 of a U ballet Saddam and you know sah to Saddam alas Supana, howate 561 00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:09,960 Ala keep us to Then was slaa who is selling them?
