1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:12,519 Kiss Mila rahmani Rahim in the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the 2 00:00:12,599 --> 00:00:37,640 most merciful heard low excellence presents lessens from the stories of the prophets by Mufti 3 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:58,320 Ismail even Musa mank his Salam Noah, Peace be upon him, Skatula ram 4 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,079 Alamin or Salah to us Sarah Muhala al health, Jamain Nabi and a Mohammad 5 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:10,400 Ina Alah Alihi or Sabih Tabin woman Tabi Ahmi san in Ilayomid did. All 6 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:14,200 praise is due to a loss of Hannahua to Allah. Blessings and salutations upon 7 00:01:14,239 --> 00:01:18,480 Muhammad Salah Alihi was seldom. We ask a loss of Hannahua to Alah to 8 00:01:18,519 --> 00:01:22,239 bless him and all his companions, and we ask a loss of Hannahua to 9 00:01:22,239 --> 00:01:26,239 Alah to bless every single one of us. We thank a loss of hannahua 10 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,799 to Allah for giving us another opportunity to meet in order to go through some 11 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:36,120 of the reminders that He has placed within the book that he has sent to 12 00:01:36,239 --> 00:01:38,920 us. So we thank a loss of Hannahua to Allah for this opportunity, 13 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,359 and we ask him to accept it from us, and we ask him to 14 00:01:42,439 --> 00:01:48,040 make us from those who take heed whenever they are reminded. This evening, 15 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:56,319 I must commence by sharing some verses that we recited in the recitation that brought 16 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,680 tears to the eyes. We are lost of Hannahua to Allah. In Surat 17 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:06,599 Araf makes mention of a discussion of the people of Paradise with the people of 18 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:12,159 Hell, and Allah is using the past tense, which means this is as 19 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:19,639 good as done. Alas hanahwatalysis. The people of Heaven called out to the 20 00:02:19,719 --> 00:02:29,960 people of Hell. Listen to what he says. One das habun Janti Oshabandi 21 00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:44,439 Godjama bona hal care for hell uajatungarad bukum help call. The people of Heaven 22 00:02:44,599 --> 00:02:49,319 called out to the people of Hell whilst they were burning in the fire of 23 00:02:49,439 --> 00:02:54,479 Hell. The people of Heaven asked them, we have found what Allah has 24 00:02:54,639 --> 00:03:00,120 promised us to be true. We are sitting in so much goodness. We 25 00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:05,479 have whatever we wish. What about you people? Have you found what Allah 26 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:13,280 promised you to be true? What was the response, na'am? They said, 27 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,479 yes, we did. We found it to be true. For amo 28 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:29,719 adenobaina hum a learnt long alahlime So. A caller from amongst them called out 29 00:03:30,479 --> 00:03:36,759 the curse of Allah be upon the oppressors anahwat alan of makers from the oppressors. 30 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:42,719 And sometime later, a few verses down the line, Alas of Panahwat 31 00:03:42,759 --> 00:03:46,039 Alah makes mention of yet another call. This time it was the other way 32 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:53,120 around. These people were bubbling in the hell fire. When I say bubbling, 33 00:03:53,199 --> 00:03:58,159 the bubbling is made mention of in various ahadith of the prophets of allaho 34 00:03:58,199 --> 00:04:01,879 Ada he was seldom. And the condition of the skin is made mention of 35 00:04:02,039 --> 00:04:12,240 in the Qur'an that the people burning in hell fire kuna manabijatjo do but dla 36 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:24,759 juno dan loyalialloula. Every time their skins are burnt, they will be renewed 37 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:31,240 in order that they may taste the punishment afresh Allah protect us. The Hadid 38 00:04:31,319 --> 00:04:40,040 speaks about how they will be roasting in hell fire, and the flesh will 39 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:46,920 be burning, dripping passe and blood, and they will be so thirsty they 40 00:04:46,959 --> 00:04:49,959 won't have anything to drink. They will be heat, they will be fire, 41 00:04:50,639 --> 00:05:00,720 they will be burning. And Alas says wuana ours harmburn our hair Belgian 42 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:14,079 anti and a field alina I mean and aumi maaza kankhumu law. The people 43 00:05:14,199 --> 00:05:18,199 of hell fire in that condition will scream out to the people of heaven, 44 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:24,680 and they will say, please, can you pour on us a little bit 45 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,160 of water or any liquid that you have, Just pour it on us, 46 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:38,959 and the people of Heaven will respond, gone in allah harama Huma n caf 47 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,600 Allah has prohibited anything of that nature for those who disbelieved, for those who 48 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:53,279 denied, for those who turned away. Alas Hannahuataly says, it's prohibited. 49 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,000 You're not allowed to pour anything. So what will they be forced to drink? 50 00:05:57,959 --> 00:06:02,399 The same extract that was released when they were roasted the pass and the 51 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:11,439 blood and so on. The Hadith uses the word trinatul kabalah water filthy drink 52 00:06:11,639 --> 00:06:16,920 alas of Hannah Allah protect us. So one might ask immediately, how what 53 00:06:17,079 --> 00:06:21,399 do we do to protect ourselves from this? Well, let's listen, Alas 54 00:06:21,439 --> 00:06:30,480 says in the Koran. Immediately after that, a ladinada hum la hua laibau 55 00:06:30,759 --> 00:06:45,240 hum will higher to dunya fel yauman sahum comasuni call ayaomi him warm can be 56 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:55,680 a tinajahadu. Those who did not take their religion seriously, those who did 57 00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:01,079 not take their religion seriously, meaning those who took it as an amusement and 58 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:06,399 a pastime, and they did whatever they desired. Alasses, they forgot us, 59 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,480 Alasses, on this day, we will forget them in the same way 60 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:17,120 that when we sent them reminder after reminder they decided to ignore. Last month, 61 00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:24,800 I was having a discussion with a person who claimed that there was no 62 00:07:24,959 --> 00:07:30,399 life after death. So he tells me, you prove to me or say 63 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:36,040 something to me that will convince me that I need to believe that there's a 64 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:40,959 life after death. And Alas hannahwat Alah put something in my mind and I 65 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,000 want to share it with you. I told him, Okay, you don't 66 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,040 believe in revelation, do you? He said no, So we need to 67 00:07:46,079 --> 00:07:50,600 speak now with the brain with common sense. We need to talk without revelation. 68 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,360 Put it on one side. I told him, brother, if you 69 00:07:54,439 --> 00:07:59,360 are going to Japan and you know what has happened in Japan, and I 70 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:05,680 were to give you a uniform, I were to give you a suit like 71 00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:07,439 a space suit, and I were to tell you, look, you're traveling 72 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:13,439 to Japan, take this because there is a nuclear leak there. Take it. 73 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,800 There is a nuclear leak there, you might need it. In fact, 74 00:08:16,879 --> 00:08:20,079 if I were to tell you you're definitely going to need it, what 75 00:08:20,199 --> 00:08:22,639 would you do? He said, I'd take it along. I said, 76 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,959 but what if you went there and there was no nuclear leak? He says, 77 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,560 well, then at least I didn't take it for nothing, because I 78 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:33,080 saved myself. I said, Okay, remember what you said. There are 79 00:08:33,159 --> 00:08:37,000 people like you who are saying that you're going to die and all that's going 80 00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:39,279 to happen is you're going to rot, and that's it. It's the end. 81 00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:43,360 He said, yes, and there are people like us who are telling 82 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:50,600 you that there is something to come. So if we were good and we 83 00:08:50,759 --> 00:08:56,080 abstained from bad, and we sought forgiveness and we did everything that we believe 84 00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:01,919 the Creator has instructed us to do, one of two things is going to 85 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,919 happen to us. According to you, Either, if what we've said is 86 00:09:05,039 --> 00:09:09,840 true, we will go to heaven. And if what you've said is true, 87 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:15,159 we haven't lost anything. We just carried the suit with us. We 88 00:09:15,279 --> 00:09:18,039 haven't lost anything. But for you, you don't want to take the suit. 89 00:09:18,799 --> 00:09:22,559 So it's better for you to fulfill what we are saying, so that 90 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,639 when you get there. If you are going to rot, you haven't lost 91 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,919 anything. But if you're not going to rot, oh, then this is 92 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,240 the call las suhnah howat alas is. And well, lie, this man 93 00:09:33,279 --> 00:09:35,279 told me. You the first person who's given me something to think. I 94 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,960 said, no, you promised me moments ago tell me something convincing. Don't 95 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,080 you agree it's convincing? He said, yeah, it is. But I 96 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:48,840 still believe that may alasu hanahawa t alah open our doors. We are Musli 97 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,720 mean we have the ki tab. We've come to the musket in order to 98 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,799 earn the pleasure of a lassunnahuwa ta allah. We have it with us. 99 00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:00,440 Still sometimes we ignore it. So alas is, you want to ignore it? 100 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,840 Wait, we are We are not. We are warning you that you 101 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,799 might just be ignored on another day. Hannah Alan not do that to us. 102 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:11,159 And this brings tears to the eyes. The other verses that also brought 103 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:20,960 tears. When a loss of Hannah alas is, I mean tea sooner by 104 00:10:24,639 --> 00:10:45,000 emo, I mean sooner how I mean o ConL p li ConL lie in 105 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:54,679 Look, do the people of the towns feel secure against a punishment that might 106 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,039 overtake them? At night, whilst they are sleeping do they feel secure? 107 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:03,679 And the next question alas is do the people of the towns feel secure against 108 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,919 a punishment that might overtake them in the afternoon whilst they are playing lahu akaba 109 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,879 and alasis? Do they feel secure against the punishment of Allah? Nobody? 110 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:18,200 Besides, the losers can feel secure against the punishment of a loss. Supanaha 111 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,440 to Allah, Yeah, Allah protect us yea, Allah, do not punish 112 00:11:20,519 --> 00:11:24,120 us. When we hear the winds blowing, and when we hear the strong 113 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:28,840 winds, and when we see the rains, and when we feel the strong 114 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,200 rain, we ask a loss su hannah to Allah's protection, it could be 115 00:11:31,279 --> 00:11:35,360 punishment. Let's move to the verses we were speaking about yesterday. We had 116 00:11:35,519 --> 00:11:39,679 ended where the prophet Noah, may peace be upon him, no Hanah his 117 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,279 Salah to us Salam had made a dua to Alas sup hannahaa to Allah. 118 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,440 We said, for so long he was just praying for guidance, and after 119 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,200 so many years, he one day decided, now it's time to raise my 120 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:56,519 hands. After they threatened him, and after they wanted to stone him to 121 00:11:56,639 --> 00:12:03,000 death, now he raised his hands and the dua he made. He says, 122 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,759 before he made this dua, he is telling Allah, look ya, 123 00:12:05,759 --> 00:12:09,080 Allah, you instructed me to do this. I want to tell you what 124 00:12:09,159 --> 00:12:13,840 I've done. Now. Allah knows, but this is just so that he 125 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:18,000 bears witness against his own people. All the messengers of a loss of hannahata 126 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,120 allah, they have asked a question to their people and they've received the response. 127 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,000 Have I conveyed the message? And they were told yes. Even Muhammad 128 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:31,960 Salalah, he was seldom in the final hadj, he asked a question all 129 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:37,000 his companions. He says, hall Bellah too, Have I conveyed the message? 130 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,840 They said, Bellah na'am, yes you have. He looked up and 131 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,519 he said, Allah hummafash had oh Allah bear witness. Look at what they've 132 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:50,279 said. They've said that I've conveyed the message because they were messengers. So 133 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:58,200 Hannah nah so no the prophet Noah. He says, halaab in dat collum 134 00:12:58,759 --> 00:13:03,320 naa nahara, oh my rob. I have called my people by night, 135 00:13:03,759 --> 00:13:13,000 and I called them at daytime palamasidoumda in laugha. As I called them, 136 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:18,240 it increased them in running away from the message. They ran no further away 137 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,639 every time I called them, they went further away. Every time I called 138 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,759 them, they went further away. May we not be from amongst those whom 139 00:13:26,039 --> 00:13:28,080 the more we are reminded, the further away we go from a loss of 140 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:33,519 Hannah. Howat Aala, remember the lessons we are drawing. We need to 141 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:39,159 currentize these verses and apply them to our lives. Current So what does this 142 00:13:39,279 --> 00:13:41,840 have for me in it? If nuhale is salat a Salam is complaining that 143 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,480 the more I read for them the verses and the more I called them, 144 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,000 the further they went away. We should not be from amongst those. Then 145 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,320 a loss of Hannah. Howatala says he continued, well, in kul lama 146 00:13:54,480 --> 00:14:07,840 daautumlahum jaanu asabirahum mom a bahum, what a sorrow? What tak bamus think 147 00:14:07,879 --> 00:14:13,919 about? Oh Allah? Every time I called them so that you could forgive 148 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:18,240 them, I called them towards seeking forgiveness, so that you could forgive them. 149 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:24,600 They put their fingers into their ears. Imagine adults when you're talking to 150 00:14:24,679 --> 00:14:26,919 them and they put their fingers into their ears. How foolish would that be? 151 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,679 Looking And this was a message of Allah, a messenger of a lass 152 00:14:31,799 --> 00:14:35,440 Annah. Allah the alasays that nhlah Salam complained, saying, oh Allah, 153 00:14:35,679 --> 00:14:39,840 whenever I gave them the message, they put their fingers into their ears. 154 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:46,080 Whenever the message comes to us, Let's never ever put our fingers into our 155 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:50,840 ears. Let's never turn away. This is why tonight we read a verse 156 00:14:50,200 --> 00:15:01,000 at the end of ara alases or either for or anas damio oh se to 157 00:15:01,399 --> 00:15:09,679 lcome to Uham. When the Koran is being recited, be silent, listen 158 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,559 to it carefully, so that you may be overtaken by mercy, or Allah 159 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:18,200 may have mercy on you. So if we'd like mercy when the Koran is 160 00:15:18,279 --> 00:15:20,840 being recited, listen, try to understand the message, and you will achieve 161 00:15:20,919 --> 00:15:24,639 the mercy of alasu hannah at alah. So no haalai Salam says, whenever 162 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,399 I called them, and in order that you may forgive them, they put 163 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:33,879 their fingers into their ears. And over and above that, they covered themselves 164 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,480 with their clothes. Imagine, if we try to picture it, You're talking 165 00:15:37,519 --> 00:15:41,120 to someone and he's put his fingers in his ears, and when you're talking 166 00:15:41,159 --> 00:15:45,279 to them a little bit more, he tries and cover himself with his clothes. 167 00:15:45,519 --> 00:15:48,039 How foolish does it look Alas says, look no Halla, Salam says, 168 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:52,279 look at what they were doing. Well, are sorrow. And they 169 00:15:52,399 --> 00:15:58,840 continued, They remained on that mischief that they were engaged in. It did 170 00:15:58,879 --> 00:16:03,080 not help them at all. Was ta kamarus think varah. And they were 171 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:07,399 arrogance, great haughtiness, arrogance meaning they rejected the truth. And they were 172 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:17,960 despising the people. They were despising Nu himself. Um in a tou la 173 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:23,600 um ronald tu la mum is uh, he says the verse just before this 174 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,919 one I read now, he says, oh Allah. Then I called them 175 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:32,559 openly directly. I called them in the masses, and I called them in 176 00:16:32,679 --> 00:16:36,360 private, and I called them openly, and I called them in secret. 177 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,000 I went to them one by one, and I also spoke to them publicly. 178 00:16:40,639 --> 00:16:44,559 But it didn't help them. What did I tell them? Let me 179 00:16:44,639 --> 00:16:47,519 tell you ya allah Alam is saying, yeah lah, this is what I 180 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:59,440 said to them. Fakultustauvi ram bakum in hu ka. I said, seek 181 00:16:59,559 --> 00:17:03,759 forgiven of your maker, who ever made you your rub. And I told 182 00:17:03,799 --> 00:17:08,079 you the meaning of rub is the one who created creator. Narisha cherish sustainer, 183 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:12,519 provider, protector cura. The one in absolute control of every aspect of 184 00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:18,079 existence is known as rab Bun. So he says, seek the forgiveness of 185 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:23,200 your rub for indeed he is most forgiving. Inhukana affara, he is most 186 00:17:23,279 --> 00:17:26,880 forgiving. That's the lesson for all of us. Every time we are told, 187 00:17:27,039 --> 00:17:30,880 seek the forgiveness of Allah. Allah is most forgiving. This is the 188 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,160 month of Ramadan, month of forgiveness. Seek the forgiveness of Allah. This 189 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:37,200 is a blessed day, a blessed moment. Seek the forgiveness of Allah. 190 00:17:37,519 --> 00:17:40,759 Leave your bad ways, leave your bad habits. Seek the forgiveness of Allah. 191 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,119 He is most forgiving, most merciful. We hear it in Salah a 192 00:17:44,279 --> 00:17:49,960 rahman rahe most beneficent, most merciful. We hear it every day. We 193 00:17:51,079 --> 00:17:56,039 read it every day subhana lah. But the rejected one is the one who 194 00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:00,240 doesn't turn alas is he is merciful. Yes, But if you if I 195 00:18:00,559 --> 00:18:04,880 alasu hannah howa to Alah beyond a certain point, then his punishment overtakes that 196 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:07,960 au hanah to ala. Not do that to us. So he says, 197 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,920 all llah, I told them that seek forgiveness. Allah is most forgiving, 198 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:18,960 And I even made it clear what you revealed to me. I told them 199 00:18:18,079 --> 00:18:22,240 clearly that when you seek forgiveness, these are the benefits. Do you want 200 00:18:22,279 --> 00:18:26,799 to hear the benefits of seeking forgiveness? Do you want to hear the benefits 201 00:18:26,839 --> 00:18:36,000 of still far no? Halai Salam told his people your seeing is some alncome 202 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,319 mida. Firstly, when you seek forgiveness, Allah will forgive you, and 203 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:45,039 he will send rain that is beneficial for you, which means your crop. 204 00:18:45,319 --> 00:18:51,079 The economy of any country today is based mainly on rainfall. If there is 205 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:55,839 drought, there is a problem. When the rainfalls and there is no drought 206 00:18:55,920 --> 00:19:00,519 and the crop has grown marcia Allah, the economy flourishes. But when there 207 00:19:00,599 --> 00:19:03,960 is a shortage of water, when there is rain, no rain, there 208 00:19:03,039 --> 00:19:07,279 is a punishment of alas sudhna hawat alah. So the first thing that will 209 00:19:07,319 --> 00:19:11,119 happen when any one of us engages in seeking the forgiveness of Allah sudhnahwat alah, 210 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,240 is that he will forgive us. And one of the signs is the 211 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:21,279 rainfall will come. Correct rainfall, because too much of it is punishment or 212 00:19:21,519 --> 00:19:25,440 a test, and too little of it is also either a test or punishment. 213 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,119 But when it is just right. It shows that Allah is forgiving us, 214 00:19:29,279 --> 00:19:37,960 and he has forgiven us wayum dii decomi amali abanina, and he will 215 00:19:38,039 --> 00:19:42,599 grant you sustenance that you are content with. He will increase your wealth. 216 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,920 So those who want increase in wealth, Allahu akhbar lahu akaba. There is 217 00:19:48,039 --> 00:19:52,480 no point in going and seeking wealth by haram means and trying to go and 218 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:57,440 gamble and think that you know what I want. I tried with ten rants 219 00:19:57,799 --> 00:20:00,519 and I got sixty rants. Now let me put ten millions so I can 220 00:20:00,599 --> 00:20:03,359 get sixty million. When you put in the ten million, you come back 221 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,480 with the same six that you started with. Then what happened? You lose 222 00:20:07,519 --> 00:20:10,759 your house, you lose your car, you lose your business, you lose 223 00:20:10,799 --> 00:20:15,440 your family. But moments ago you were a loaded person. It's greed alas 224 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,599 is Sikh forgiveness. We will grant you contentment with the six rands you had. 225 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,960 You will spend it through the day and you'll still have two rands change. 226 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,960 Wow, So this is what is still far will do for you. 227 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:32,839 No haleehi Salam told his people. It will grant you wealth. It will 228 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:37,680 open your doors of sustenance. So if you want sustenance, ask the owner 229 00:20:37,759 --> 00:20:41,039 of sustenance. Don't go to anyone else. Ajib to limnpala ba dunyam in 230 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:48,119 redri maliki hair. I'm amazed and surprised at the one who seeks sustenance from 231 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:52,200 those who don't own it. Who is the owner of sustenance? Allah, 232 00:20:52,599 --> 00:20:55,880 you want sustenance, it's a Llah who will provide, not anybody else. 233 00:20:56,559 --> 00:21:00,640 May Alasuhanaha Allah open our doors. And that wealth that has come to us 234 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:06,519 via clandestine and prohibited means, it will be used in a destructive manner. 235 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:11,319 It will result in our children being so disobedient because they are eating that which 236 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:15,160 is prohibited by a loss of Hannah Howata Allah, Safe Goddess. It will 237 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:21,640 bring with it lots of harm and curse and turbulence rather than goodness, prosperity 238 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,839 and contentment. So it's better for us to ask Allah and to try our 239 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:30,200 best and be happy with what we have. And then he says, if 240 00:21:30,279 --> 00:21:34,119 you seek forgiveness, Allah will purify your offspring for you. First me he 241 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:38,599 will grant you the offspring, and secondly he will make them also from amongst 242 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:45,319 the good by your instead of harm by your repentance. When you repent, 243 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,079 then there is a greater likelihood that your children will also in shallah follow suits. 244 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,599 You might have one, you might have someone. After you have fulfilled 245 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,440 all your duties and they have now arrived at adulthood, they might be made 246 00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,240 here and there that is between them and a loss of Hannah hoa to For 247 00:22:00,319 --> 00:22:03,359 as long as you have fulfilled your duty, and for as long as you 248 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,640 have been exemplary, and for as long as you were their role model in 249 00:22:06,759 --> 00:22:10,519 sha Allah, then by the will of alaunahwat Alah, there is no blame 250 00:22:10,599 --> 00:22:15,720 upon us. Alasu hanahoa Allah grant us understanding. So he says yum dii 251 00:22:15,799 --> 00:22:26,519 de kobi amali abani nowaya jaal l kum janatiya jael lakum, and over and 252 00:22:26,599 --> 00:22:30,920 above that he will grant you gardens, and he will grant you rivers that 253 00:22:30,079 --> 00:22:36,359 flow. This is also speaking about the life after death. When you increase 254 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:41,000 your repentance, Allah will open your doors in this life as well as in 255 00:22:41,079 --> 00:22:48,519 the life after death. And this is why the Hadid says Tuba Limanuji Sahifeti 256 00:22:48,559 --> 00:22:53,720 Hisstivar and Kathira give good news of paradise. To the one in whose books 257 00:22:55,039 --> 00:22:59,799 or on whose papers, on whose records there is a lot of histevar. 258 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:07,079 That's a clean kat hadid. It makes so much sense if in my book 259 00:23:07,319 --> 00:23:10,359 or in your book there is a lot of repentance on the deal of Tihama, 260 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,160 it's going to come home and a loss of hanah. Howatalah is going 261 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,920 to see and everybody is going to see that there is so much repentance here 262 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,960 and a loss of Hannah. Houwat Alah has told us through the blessed lips 263 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:25,240 of Muhammed salahah a he seldom give good news to that person. May Allah 264 00:23:25,319 --> 00:23:30,880 make us from those who can engage in repentance on a daily basis constantly, 265 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:36,400 because that will help us. Then no hadeh is Salah to as salam continue, 266 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:44,440 He asks them. He says, Mala come later, junia. What 267 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,160 is wrong with you people? How can you not have hope in a loss 268 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:52,319 of Hannah? Howat Alah's mercy? How come you are not hopeful of anything 269 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,240 good coming from Allah? I am telling you if you do this, the 270 00:23:55,319 --> 00:23:57,000 goodness will come to you. You're still not doing it. Look at that. 271 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,920 So, on one hand, he warned them of a punishment and told 272 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,759 them, when you do evil, this is the bad that will come in 273 00:24:03,839 --> 00:24:07,799 your direction. And on the other hand, he told them, if you 274 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,160 seek forgiveness, this is the good that will come in your direction. So 275 00:24:11,279 --> 00:24:14,720 he's saying, you're neither taking the warning nor do you want to have hope 276 00:24:14,759 --> 00:24:17,519 in the goodness. So what is it that's going to move you people? 277 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,559 Now? No, hala is Salam is telling Allah ya Allah, I have 278 00:24:19,759 --> 00:24:23,680 depleted absolutely everything. I've told them everything. I gave them this example, 279 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:29,400 and I gave them that example. They still don't want to turn. And 280 00:24:29,519 --> 00:24:32,240 then he says, there was one more thing that I told them about. 281 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:47,880 What was it? Alam tarau kaif halaklah saba samawatia comar of h wajashan sasia. 282 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:52,039 Don't you see how Allah has created the skies above you, the seven 283 00:24:52,079 --> 00:24:57,640 heavens. Don't you see how He has created the moon that shines and the 284 00:24:57,759 --> 00:25:08,519 sun that gives off light. Wallah a batman all in abata thum maorido comfi 285 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:17,599 comeraja. It is Allah that created you from the soil, and he will 286 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:22,599 return you to the same soil. Don't you see you burying your dead returning 287 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,799 to the soil and Allah says, we will resurrect you from that soil. 288 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:37,000 Wallah la hold on missa the tesino Kumin sna. Don't you see that Allah 289 00:25:37,079 --> 00:25:42,119 has created gravity. Allah has laid the earth in such a way that you 290 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,880 can walk on it. Imagine if there was no gravity on earth, what 291 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,400 would happen to us. We would have to be tied to something and we 292 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,319 would have to be floating around. And alas Hannah Alan laid it down. 293 00:25:53,599 --> 00:25:57,039 He laid it for us, Bisathan, he actually laid it, and he 294 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:03,799 says, you can walk on that, and you can make roads. But 295 00:26:03,039 --> 00:26:07,000 no, they didn't want to listen. They were interested in their own thing. 296 00:26:07,279 --> 00:26:11,920 As we said yesterday, very few people accepted the message. May lass 297 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,400 of Hannah Hawa to Alah make us from amongst those who can see his signs 298 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:21,440 and turn to him. In this message prior to Ramavan, I spoke about 299 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:27,960 the greatness of a loss of hannahuata Alah with an example of the stars and 300 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:34,279 that star subhana Lah. The closest star is four and a half light years 301 00:26:34,319 --> 00:26:38,680 away from us, which means when we look outside, we only seeing a 302 00:26:38,799 --> 00:26:44,200 star that was there four and a half years ago, and we still think 303 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:48,759 it's there, Subhana Lah. There are other stars that are fifteen light years 304 00:26:48,839 --> 00:26:52,960 twenty light years away, which means we're looking at it, and if there 305 00:26:52,039 --> 00:26:56,279 is a shooting star, we're reading the duar for it. But we don't 306 00:26:56,319 --> 00:27:00,319 realize this happened before I was born. I'm only seeing it now because light 307 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,200 travels at so many light years. The distance between me and that star is 308 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,559 so much. This is the greatness of Allah. We are so insignificant, 309 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,799 Oh man, you are small, insignificant in comparison to the rest of the 310 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:19,960 creatures of Allah. Subhanahwat alah la han ku samawati wan ordi akbau min hanqinsi 311 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:29,519 huana qing akanasinayala mu. The creation of the skies and the earth is far 312 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,880 greater than the creation of man. But Man, many men do not know. 313 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,599 So Alla subhannahwa Ala says, then knu hana is salah toua Salama. 314 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:52,680 After that, he says, klabi in Nahuma sonia tabauman lamyazid humanau in Navasara. 315 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,400 After I told them everything, they still went against what I said, 316 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:03,400 and they followed the paths that resulted in destruction against their wealth, and their 317 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:11,920 own children. Those are the paths that they chose to follow. Wama Karumakumbara. 318 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:17,160 And they were plotting huge plots not only against me and against the believers, 319 00:28:17,319 --> 00:28:25,400 but even against one another Wakannata darun ali takum. And each time they 320 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:29,880 had children, they continued telling their children, don't leave your gods, these 321 00:28:30,319 --> 00:28:38,759 stones and statues that you have here Wuala ta daruna wan da alasuaav Hawaiian tawanash 322 00:28:41,119 --> 00:28:45,759 these statues that we have. They warned their children, don't leave these statues. 323 00:28:45,839 --> 00:28:49,920 So their children were even more venomous than them. Their children became more 324 00:28:51,039 --> 00:28:53,720 dangerous than them. Imagine how bad they must be. The prophet is there. 325 00:28:55,279 --> 00:28:59,440 They are related to him because they're not very far off from Adam Alihisala 326 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,880 to a Sala, and he is warning them. And as he is warning 327 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,640 them, even their children are becoming worse than them. May Allah, protectors 328 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:14,039 of hannah houa to Allah protect us. If a person is evil, you 329 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:22,839 find his children will overtake him in evil, unless with the miracle of a 330 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:26,480 loss of Hannahua to Allah. They are guided. And when a person is 331 00:29:26,559 --> 00:29:30,359 on the right path and has sacrificed and dedicated for the sake of a lassu 332 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:34,720 hanaha to Allah by the will of Allah, from his offspring will be those 333 00:29:34,799 --> 00:29:40,200 who have also come out on a similar path alasu hanahua to Allah Granta's goodness. 334 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:45,759 So this is why no aaleh is Salatasaram is now complaining about even the 335 00:29:45,839 --> 00:29:56,680 children. So he says, alvaloka jila tanzidvani mean in love Malallah, they 336 00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,680 have led so many astray, so many. He now raised his hands and 337 00:30:00,759 --> 00:30:12,440 he says, we call an me later laimin al caffinina dama. What a 338 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:18,200 powerful dua. Imagine for a messenger to make such a solid dua of destruction 339 00:30:18,359 --> 00:30:22,640 against his own people. What must have happened? He says, oh Allah, 340 00:30:23,119 --> 00:30:26,799 now that I've told you everything and I've explained it one after the other, 341 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:32,400 do not leave a single one of them on this earth. And do 342 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:36,039 you know what alas is? We read the verse, the last verse yesterday, 343 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:42,920 and there is another verse I'd like to read alas is wu Hanna dam 344 00:30:45,079 --> 00:30:53,160 cobberlofstejabanala in Satulambia alassies and knu haleehi Salam called out to us a long time 345 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:59,599 ago. We answered him immediately. We answered him immediately because it took him 346 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:04,519 so long to make this dua. The point we raised yesterday is remember those 347 00:31:04,559 --> 00:31:08,960 who are friends of Allah, those who are close to a loss of Hannah 348 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,279 Houa to Allah, the Musliman, those who are trying to earn the pleasure 349 00:31:12,319 --> 00:31:15,839 of a loss of Hannah. Howa to Allah never harmed them. If they 350 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,039 raise their hands, they won't do so immediately. They will make do ay 351 00:31:18,039 --> 00:31:22,599 Allah guide this person. They Allah have mercy on this person. Ya Allah 352 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:26,720 bless this person. But when we engage in their lives negatively, they may 353 00:31:26,799 --> 00:31:30,559 come a point in their lives when they will say ya Allah destroy this person. 354 00:31:30,799 --> 00:31:33,119 That's the end. Then we are wondering why is my life a mess? 355 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,519 I usually like to tell people. If your life is in total chaos, 356 00:31:38,039 --> 00:31:42,480 is there anyone who is serving the cause of Allah, any scholar of 357 00:31:42,599 --> 00:31:47,079 Islam that you've ever harmed? That's the first question you should ask yourself. 358 00:31:48,079 --> 00:31:51,599 If you have, whether you have spread rumor about him, or harmed him, 359 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:55,119 or attacked him, or blocked him, or did whatever. Your life 360 00:31:55,440 --> 00:32:00,880 is doomed, doomed? Why because he works for Allah, his boss will 361 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:07,240 sort you out? Love Love, Love, what co love ak. It's 362 00:32:07,279 --> 00:32:10,039 a powerful statement. Think about it. Sometimes our lives are in a mess. 363 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:14,880 We don't know what we've done against one of the friends of Allah sudhanahwat 364 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,440 al, and we're trying to find the button that went wrong, and we're 365 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:21,400 trying to press the right button, and we don't know. Our lives are 366 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:25,559 upside down. Remember, if you cannot benefit someone minimum, don't harm them. 367 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:30,839 Love what man. If you cannot benefit someone minimum, don't harm them. 368 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:35,000 And those who are friends of Allah Suhanah howat Allah. If negative thought 369 00:32:35,079 --> 00:32:38,920 goes through your mind, remember something, you better block it very quickly and 370 00:32:39,039 --> 00:32:43,839 don't allow it to continue. Who knows they might be closer to Allah Suhanah 371 00:32:43,839 --> 00:32:45,599 howat Ala than anyone else. And the day they say, yeah, Allah, 372 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:49,880 this person is now troubling me, destroy them. Believe me, If 373 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,160 not today, in a few years time, it's coming. Before you die, 374 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,279 you taste it, not after death. Before you die, you taste 375 00:32:55,319 --> 00:33:00,880 it, and then after the death it will continue alas subhanah to Alah safeguards. 376 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:07,920 So no halae Salam says raila and kafa yah lah, don't even keep 377 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:14,079 one of them on this earth. Inham you didn't know Ima dhaka while I 378 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:21,400 alido in fagi kavara. If you leave them on this earth, ya Allah, 379 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,279 you know what will happen. They will be leading people astray, that's 380 00:33:24,319 --> 00:33:29,200 all they know. And they are not giving birth to anyone except those who 381 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,200 are worse than them, which means their children. Yare Llah they are that's 382 00:33:32,279 --> 00:33:36,319 the same, if not worse. So yeah, Allah, there's no hope 383 00:33:36,359 --> 00:33:42,680 even for their children. Allah. When he made this, do our Allah 384 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:49,759 su hanahu Alah responded and in sort of huda lasses after that, Oh, 385 00:33:49,880 --> 00:34:00,519 here in him and I mean aman komika in amamen fella is Mima khan haven 386 00:34:01,039 --> 00:34:05,720 We revealed immediately to know Halah is salam. Oh no, we've heard your 387 00:34:05,799 --> 00:34:08,360 Doah, We've heard what you said. Now we want to tell you that 388 00:34:09,119 --> 00:34:13,840 we have sealed. We have sealed the hearts of the people. At this 389 00:34:14,039 --> 00:34:17,360 point, nobody from today will accept your message. It's over. Whoever is 390 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:21,400 with you is with you now. We have crossed to a new level. 391 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,880 Laho akhbur so No, Halah is Alam stopped calling people towards Allah at that 392 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,880 point, why because Allah told him from this moment, no new people are 393 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:35,119 going to accept your message. It's over. We gave them a chance. 394 00:34:35,519 --> 00:34:38,000 My beloved brothers and sisters. I learn a lesson from this, and so 395 00:34:38,159 --> 00:34:43,360 should you. What is the lesson? Allah gives you one chance to turn, 396 00:34:43,599 --> 00:34:46,360 two chances to turn, ten chances to turn, a thousand chances to 397 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:51,039 turn. After that, he might throw you right out. Akbar. May 398 00:34:51,119 --> 00:34:52,039 he not do that to me, and may he not do that to you. 399 00:34:52,599 --> 00:34:55,679 We need to turn now, because I don't know if this is going 400 00:34:55,719 --> 00:35:00,159 to be the last chance that all us giving me. Who can guarantee that 401 00:35:00,199 --> 00:35:05,199 they are going to stand up from here alive? Anyone we can put up 402 00:35:05,199 --> 00:35:09,199 our hands a llahu akbar Allas of Hannah, Allah say, Goddess, death 403 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:13,760 is a whisker away. We are fortunate in a Llah to Alaia to be 404 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:17,480 able to tell al abd mala the prophets are allow slam says Allah will accept 405 00:35:17,559 --> 00:35:22,599 the repentance of a worshipper for as long as their soul is not being taken 406 00:35:22,679 --> 00:35:27,599 out of their throats. We Allah open our doors and gaunt us acceptance. 407 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,719 Remember, it is not difficult to turn to Allah. It requires will power, 408 00:35:32,079 --> 00:35:36,400 It requires iman and belief, and we have that in Shallah. By 409 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:43,480 the will of a loss of Hannah at Allah, so Alas is wasna in 410 00:35:43,679 --> 00:35:50,400 full kabi anina aina alass We want you, oh no to create or to 411 00:35:50,519 --> 00:35:57,440 make an akh. We want you to build an akh. Amazing this nohala 412 00:35:57,559 --> 00:36:00,760 Islam was not a carpenter. He was not a builder. He didn't know 413 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,840 anything about building. And Alas says, we want you to do something. 414 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,360 We will help you, We will guide you. We will be watching and 415 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:12,239 we will instruct you what to do. So what happened amazingly. The tree 416 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,840 would grow. He would cut it down, take it to the top of 417 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:19,880 the mountain, because Allah instructed him to build that arc at the top of 418 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,239 the mountain. And when he took it and laid it there, he was 419 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:27,840 granted dusul. He was granted nails, and he would nail one into the 420 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,639 other. When he went back, there was another tree ready for him. 421 00:36:31,199 --> 00:36:34,639 He would cut it down and bring it. When he brought it, it 422 00:36:34,679 --> 00:36:37,480 would fit like a jigsaw with the other one, and he would nail it 423 00:36:37,559 --> 00:36:45,840 in. Amazing and his people wakulla mamal laimla omi callmi sasim I mean every 424 00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:51,639 time, the cronies mala mala, meaning the chiefs, the big boys in 425 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:53,679 community when they passed him, they used to laugh at him. Hah hah, 426 00:36:54,519 --> 00:37:00,559 Yeah, I know, Sultanadjar and Bada and kunt Ennabe, you've now 427 00:37:00,639 --> 00:37:02,320 become a carpenter. We see you used to be a prophet. You stopped 428 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:06,920 calling us at least, but now you're becoming a carpenter. But we want 429 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,039 to give you a piece of advice. Scoffing at him, they said, 430 00:37:09,599 --> 00:37:13,679 you want to build an ark or a ship, you'd rather do it on 431 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,280 the coasts, because how are you going to take it from here? Today? 432 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,960 Is a jin gonna come and carry it for you all the way there? 433 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:28,599 And he kept quiet. He says, that's home in for in as 434 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:32,760 Ham, Come, come aus home. You want to laugh at us today, 435 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:37,199 don't worry. A day is going to come when we will be laughing 436 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,440 at you. No Halley is Salatus Salama, the prophet Noah, May peace 437 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:45,199 be upon him. So it is reported that that ark. Now what I'm 438 00:37:45,199 --> 00:37:47,480 about to say, now, Allah knows best. We've got it in a 439 00:37:47,599 --> 00:37:52,079 narration that we've taken from the people of the book. As I explained yesterday, 440 00:37:52,119 --> 00:37:55,599 the Israeli Wayat and the Kuran neither agrees with it, nor rejects it, 441 00:37:55,679 --> 00:38:00,400 so we're just making mention of it. They say the ship or the 442 00:38:00,599 --> 00:38:05,599 arc was nine hundred meters long. Now the people were also very very tall. 443 00:38:06,079 --> 00:38:10,320 Remember we spoke about them being eighteen meters tall. So it was nine 444 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:16,599 hundred meters long, and it was one hundred and fifty meters wide and ninety 445 00:38:16,679 --> 00:38:21,760 meters high. Because it was more like a submarine, he covered the top 446 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,280 as well. It was not a ship with the top opened. It was 447 00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:29,960 covered as well, more like a submarine ready to go. And Allah Suhanahuatlah 448 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:37,119 taught knew how to build this state of the art peace only by him coming 449 00:38:37,199 --> 00:38:42,559 back cutting the tree and it fits. Coming back cutting the tree and it 450 00:38:42,639 --> 00:38:47,480 fits. Imagine what must have happened, subhanah Lah subhana vah love akbar. 451 00:38:49,079 --> 00:38:52,440 Just think of a jigsaw, very difficult one, and you're looking that way, 452 00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:53,559 and someone gives you the right piece, you fit it in. You're 453 00:38:53,599 --> 00:38:55,440 looking the other way. They give you a right piece, you fit it 454 00:38:55,519 --> 00:38:59,639 in. How happy you are. Wow, we completed this whole map of 455 00:38:59,679 --> 00:39:05,480 effort in a little while. So banaaah aah grant us an understanding. So 456 00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:12,199 here no hallala to a Salam was now ready. It is reported also another 457 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:16,119 israeliliineration that it took almost one hundred years to build that up. Allah knows 458 00:39:16,159 --> 00:39:30,280 best. Then a last of hannahata Ala says hata ether amrnawafa coulah milfikul, 459 00:39:34,559 --> 00:39:46,199 like in Lama Saba call woman Amen, woman Manama in a phony. We 460 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:51,760 gave him a sign new halle his salam that when you see the sign, 461 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:57,880 and the sign was that the earth and oven would gosh forth with water. 462 00:39:58,039 --> 00:40:01,199 When you see water coming up from the ground around, then you start preparing 463 00:40:01,559 --> 00:40:07,079 by taking twos of all the animals and twos of all the creatures of alas 464 00:40:07,119 --> 00:40:15,039 subhanahawa talah and your family besides the one whom Allah has rejected. And we 465 00:40:15,079 --> 00:40:20,360 will get to that in Shahlah, and take with you those who have believed. 466 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:22,440 And Allah is telling us Amaama ahu i la khalid. We want you 467 00:40:22,519 --> 00:40:29,199 to know that those who believed with him were very very few khalil khalil means 468 00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,320 very few. I told you either between eleven or from eleven to eighty people. 469 00:40:32,599 --> 00:40:37,440 The narration that makes mention of the smallest number speaks of eleven, and 470 00:40:37,519 --> 00:40:40,159 the narration that makes mention of the highest number is eighty, but there is 471 00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:44,920 little For nine hundred and fifty years of Daur, only eighty people accepted. 472 00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:51,119 And from this we learn something that the majority is not always correct. So 473 00:40:51,239 --> 00:41:00,599 Bhanama the Koran speaks about it well in totter ak Karama fin Aldi, come 474 00:41:00,519 --> 00:41:07,239 savil in. Not always is the majority correct. When you follow the majority 475 00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,440 of those on earth, they may lead you astray from the path of a 476 00:41:10,519 --> 00:41:15,760 loss of Hannah Ala. So not always what is right is right, even 477 00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:19,519 if the whole globe is telling you it's wrong and you're the only one left. 478 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:22,639 And what is wrong is wrong, even if the whole globe is engaging 479 00:41:22,679 --> 00:41:25,480 in it and they see nothing wrong with it, even if you're the only 480 00:41:25,519 --> 00:41:30,119 one left. Akaballa, keep us on the straight path. So a loss 481 00:41:30,159 --> 00:41:35,480 of Hannah to alyas is. We then told him, carry these people with 482 00:41:35,639 --> 00:41:43,440 you and get into the ark. Then a lossom Hannah to alyas is walk 483 00:41:43,679 --> 00:41:54,599 lakai ha bis milna image eh one alosaha in. He said to them, 484 00:41:55,119 --> 00:41:59,639 come, let's ride in this ark. We're all inside now, and we 485 00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:01,719 want to make a dua. And this dua to this day we make it, 486 00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:05,119 and we are taught to make it when we are on journey. One 487 00:42:05,199 --> 00:42:07,960 of the duas, that is a sunna of the prophets of Llah, Allah 488 00:42:07,039 --> 00:42:13,199 was seldom bismila hi majereha omur Saha. In the name of Allah, it 489 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:19,480 will move and it will stop. You know, we hear about those Lexus 490 00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:23,679 motor vehicles that have a defect with the breaks. I hope those people did 491 00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:30,119 not forget to read the Dua because it goes with Allah's instruction and with his 492 00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,920 name, and it should stop with it as well. So don't think that 493 00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:37,280 it's going to stop just by pressing the break. It's a Llah who grants 494 00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:42,280 that break whatever it is, whatever is needed for it to catch. And 495 00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,960 Llah, there are people. I read a story that in one of the 496 00:42:45,039 --> 00:42:49,599 highways of Saudi Arabia three days ago. It was in the Arab News newspaper. 497 00:42:50,079 --> 00:42:53,800 They said there was a man whose breaks failed at two hundred kilometers per 498 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:58,440 hour and he phoned. Luckily he had a phone and it was on the 499 00:42:58,519 --> 00:43:04,880 highway between Rabi and did that and he phoned the traffic police and he told 500 00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:06,679 them this is who I am, this is where I am, and this 501 00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,440 is what has happened. I'm on cruise control and it's not coming off and 502 00:43:09,519 --> 00:43:15,239 my brakes have failed. You can actually google it. You'll find the story 503 00:43:15,639 --> 00:43:22,079 and what happened. They escorted him at that speed, and they opened up 504 00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:28,599 all the road blocks for him until his fuel ran out. Allahu Akbar, 505 00:43:29,119 --> 00:43:32,400 look at Allah's gift on this man. Imagine if it was here. I 506 00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:36,239 don't think we would have had that long roads for the fuel to run out. 507 00:43:37,079 --> 00:43:39,719 And this is a true story. It happened three days ago, not 508 00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:44,960 longer than that. So this is why it's important for us to read the 509 00:43:45,039 --> 00:43:47,039 dua. Jump in the vehicle, don't just think right, jump in start. 510 00:43:47,079 --> 00:43:52,719 I've got the latest milk and I'm going no this milahima amrsa. In 511 00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:54,599 the name of Allah, it will go, and in the name of Allah 512 00:43:54,639 --> 00:43:59,920 it will stop in him. Indeed, your rub is most forgiving most. 513 00:44:00,519 --> 00:44:07,000 There is another du as well that we can read Subhana. It's a longer 514 00:44:07,079 --> 00:44:10,920 du a with a similar meaning. These are the prayers. So now what 515 00:44:12,079 --> 00:44:21,159 happened, Alas says what he tajiribimujin kanjiba. The ark is moving being guided 516 00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:24,519 by Allah through waves which are like mountains, and no Halah is Salam is 517 00:44:24,559 --> 00:44:28,960 looking out as they're closing listening here, and he sees his son, and 518 00:44:29,119 --> 00:44:30,639 his son did not want to be with him. This is what we were 519 00:44:30,639 --> 00:44:37,079 saying, that you take your family besides those whom Allah has rejected or turned 520 00:44:37,079 --> 00:44:39,679 away. His son was a quiet boy. He didn't want to be with 521 00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:44,320 his father, and he was with the other side. So his father says, 522 00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:58,239 Juana dan kim zil, yeah, kamatakum malkafi no hala Islam calls out 523 00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:00,039 to his son, saying, oh, my son, and ride with us. 524 00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:05,199 Don't be with the disbelievers. Come come into the ark and his answer. 525 00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:10,679 His answer was as follows, all A sa'ahi in la jabel yeah, 526 00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:15,559 simon in Almah. He says, oh, my father, don't worry. 527 00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:20,679 I'm a mountain climber. I'm going to climb the mountain and it will save 528 00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:22,920 me from the water. Where Ever, have you heard that the floods have 529 00:45:23,159 --> 00:45:27,320 reached even the top of the mountain. No, I will climb the top. 530 00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,760 Don't worry, my dad, and Alas says no hala is Salam answered 531 00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:36,480 him, la ah siman yaoma, I mean amri llai in lah ma lahim, 532 00:45:36,559 --> 00:45:38,519 Oh, my son, I want to tell you today there is no 533 00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:44,760 savior from the water for anyone besides the one whom Allah has had mercy upon. 534 00:45:45,039 --> 00:45:51,159 So come come o, my son waharadl Maojua can I mean al Moaki. 535 00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:58,000 As the discussion was pursuing, a huge wave came and he was drowned. 536 00:46:00,679 --> 00:46:04,400 What do we learn from this? In the midst of a sin, 537 00:46:04,559 --> 00:46:08,239 we are reminded not to commit that sin. It happens a person might have 538 00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:13,719 come out from the bar and he's drunk on Thursday night, and then he 539 00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,159 comes for Friday Jumorah, and the Imam, as I told you the other 540 00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:20,400 day, doesn't know this man at all. But Allah inspires him to say 541 00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:23,360 something that there are some people who drink on a Thursday night and Friday morning. 542 00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:27,159 They're coming to the maschief. They'd better stop that. And he looks, 543 00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:31,400 he says, what is he talking about me? But it's Allah. 544 00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:37,199 Whilst you are involved in it, Allah sends you a message. If you 545 00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:39,239 still do not turn, look at what happened to the son of Mohaleh is 546 00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:43,400 Salah to Asadam. He drowned in it. There are certain people who are 547 00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:45,960 drowning in sin, literally drowning in it. They don't want to come out 548 00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,800 of it, and they are being warned by their family, by other people, 549 00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:52,239 by Rolamah, by different people, leave it, stop this, stop 550 00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:57,079 your hotines, stop your pride, stop deviating others, and so on, 551 00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:00,400 and they don't want to learn a lesson. Allah says they will down in 552 00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:04,000 that. Definitely, they would drown in it. So then a loss of 553 00:47:04,039 --> 00:47:09,159 hanahuatalyases. Imagine I'd like to make mention of a verse where a loss of 554 00:47:09,199 --> 00:47:16,639 hannahuat ala is describing the water. Imagine it came from the bottom and it 555 00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:22,000 came from the top. A loss of hannah houatalysis in will come up fa 556 00:47:22,039 --> 00:47:32,320 fata sammaibi maim Munhemid. We opened the doors of the sky completely with water 557 00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:39,119 that poured down ma in Munhaemid. This word in himar is the greatest word 558 00:47:39,159 --> 00:47:45,480 you could ever use to describe the density of water coming down mah in Munhamed. 559 00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:50,800 On top of that, alassies, we didn't wait there to ensure that 560 00:47:51,000 --> 00:48:01,599 destruction was total. Fajagnal alvaruna felta kalmaala God Cordid. We let the earth 561 00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:06,920 gush its water, so it came out so much that it was enough to 562 00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,119 flood them with only the water on the earth, but the water of the 563 00:48:09,159 --> 00:48:13,880 sky and the water of the earth met at a distinct point that Allah wanted 564 00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:16,920 it to meet. Imagine, take a tennis ball and put it into a 565 00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:21,559 bucket and immerse it right in and think if that was the earth. What 566 00:48:21,639 --> 00:48:25,360 has happened? Laho akabar Allah is saying. It didn't only rain, but 567 00:48:25,519 --> 00:48:30,320 we instructed whatever the earth was holding in terms of water to get out. 568 00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:35,840 So all the water in the earth came out on the land and it came 569 00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,840 up. It rolls so high, and the water from the top came down 570 00:48:39,039 --> 00:48:45,159 and the two waters met fell tatamah allaho akaba. Look at this. This 571 00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:51,280 is such a vivid description in sa will come on. Then a last from 572 00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:57,119 anahuata Ala says, as for the arc, we guided it, We guided 573 00:48:57,159 --> 00:49:07,639 it. It went through with our guidance. And then Joaquin alim aq ansomeri 574 00:49:07,159 --> 00:49:15,559 quarian amro. When Allah instructed the water to subside alasses, it was said 575 00:49:15,599 --> 00:49:20,199 to the earth, swallow back your water. So the shows that it had 576 00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:24,320 spat it out, swallow back your water. And the skies were told to 577 00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:30,400 hold back their water. And the water subsided, and we guided this ark 578 00:49:30,079 --> 00:49:36,000 and it rested on Mount Jude where exactly that is Alo's best. There are 579 00:49:36,039 --> 00:49:38,840 a lot of statements. In fact, recently I seen someone said they discovered 580 00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:44,280 an arc in Turkey somewhere, someone said they discovered something elsewhere only alanos. 581 00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,559 But the lesson we know it's true. So Alas is that k was guided 582 00:49:47,599 --> 00:49:59,480 and it rested Joaquin callm vlimi and it was said distance or destruction. B 583 00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:05,719 woe be upon those who were valiman balimin meaning oppressors. They are not gone 584 00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:09,679 completely. Then a loss of Hannah howat alas is when it had stopped, 585 00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:19,039 no honey, is Alam called out to Allah nab no HeLa. Islam called 586 00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:22,480 called out to a loss of Hannah. Aah. He says, yeah, 587 00:50:22,679 --> 00:50:30,480 rall be in nebi in ahli what in now that can help ca What came 588 00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:36,880 hanky me? Oh my rub my son was part of my family. You 589 00:50:37,039 --> 00:50:39,840 promised me that you would save my family. Yeah, Rubby, you are 590 00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:45,159 the one who decides. He didn't question a loss of Hannah howat alas degree, 591 00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:50,679 but he wanted to understand. So Alas is, yeah, who in 592 00:50:51,079 --> 00:50:59,360 now? Who is I mean? Ahlik in now huam sale fellahs Alah can 593 00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:07,119 be here in avoka uh takuna mean and gerany oh. No, he was 594 00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:14,360 not from your family. He had done deeds that were very very impure, 595 00:51:15,159 --> 00:51:19,440 unacceptable, rejected. He was a criminal. In other words, he's not 596 00:51:19,559 --> 00:51:23,400 a member of your family. From this, we learn that the bond of 597 00:51:23,519 --> 00:51:28,599 shahada is far stronger than the bond of blood. When it comes to the 598 00:51:28,679 --> 00:51:35,079 pleasure of Allah, we will have to seek that first, even if we 599 00:51:35,199 --> 00:51:37,800 earn the displeasure of someone in the process who happens to be a family member. 600 00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:43,440 And if we want to please a family member in the displeasure of a 601 00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:45,280 loss of hanah HOAt allah, we won't do that because we don't want to 602 00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:50,119 earn the wrath of a loss of hanah howat ala very important, and on 603 00:51:50,199 --> 00:51:52,159 top of that, a loss of hanahawatalys is. He was not from your 604 00:51:52,199 --> 00:51:57,639 family. Amazing, look at how powerful the word is. Yet biologically he 605 00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:01,599 was alas of hanahawata al grant us a deep understanding. This afternoon, I 606 00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:06,639 was speaking on the radio radio a Ansara, and I had made mention of 607 00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:12,239 how sometimes the best gift we can do to our children is not to interfere 608 00:52:12,559 --> 00:52:15,679 when they're in trouble Sometimes, What does that mean when you know your child 609 00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:21,119 is on drugs, and you know you've tried the rehabs, and you know 610 00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:23,760 that you've tried everything, and you've spent money, and one day he's arrested 611 00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:28,599 for something related to that and he's jailed. It would not be in the 612 00:52:28,639 --> 00:52:30,760 best of your interests to get him out of there. That probably would be 613 00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:35,960 the best rehab. Why do we say this? If a child is a 614 00:52:36,039 --> 00:52:38,880 criminal, he's a criminal. When we go and defend him, what happens 615 00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:44,960 we defend him crime? Lahu akbar. We learn this from here. I 616 00:52:45,079 --> 00:52:50,159 definitely do know that there are people in the prisons who are innocent. There 617 00:52:50,199 --> 00:52:52,920 are some who have sent me a message with some of the brothers here who 618 00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:54,880 say, we listen to you every night on radio Mashallah, we may do 619 00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:59,760 our for you. We know that really a lot of those who are there, 620 00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:01,840 many of them who are there, they may not They may have been 621 00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:06,920 framed, they may have been blackmailed. I always believe that sometimes, as 622 00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:08,800 we know from the story of the prophet Joseph, may peace be upon him, 623 00:53:09,039 --> 00:53:13,960 the law is guilty of finding an innocent man guilty. It can happen 624 00:53:14,119 --> 00:53:16,719 and it has happened from the very beginning. So we need to know that 625 00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:21,920 as much as we pray for those people, sometimes when a person is guilty, 626 00:53:22,039 --> 00:53:24,079 the best we have is when they're in the prison. It gives them 627 00:53:24,119 --> 00:53:28,199 the time to think. It gives them the time to ponder, It cleanses 628 00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:30,480 them. May Alas of Hannah, howat Alah elevate us all? And may 629 00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:35,280 alass of Hannah, howat Alah is the sentences of those who've been sentenced, 630 00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:37,960 And ma Alas of Hannah, howat Allah grant them goodness in such a way 631 00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:40,760 that when they come out, they come out the best of people. And 632 00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:45,119 may He make us from those whom when the inmates have served their sentences and 633 00:53:45,199 --> 00:53:51,519 they've come out, we can now re accept them into society without that stigma. 634 00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:55,400 Alas of Hannah, howat Alah granted to us? Then alasu Hannah. 635 00:53:55,400 --> 00:54:00,960 Howat Alah makes mention of a beautiful verse in the Purana beautiful verse in La 636 00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:07,119 Poran. This verse has the most memes. You know the alphabet Arabic alphabet, 637 00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:10,159 there is one letter known as a meme. Listen to how many memes 638 00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:16,039 in this verse seventeen to be precise, listen to them. In one verse, 639 00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:28,760 kilaya beto di salah mi miwa barakat in alakaala omami mi ma mark oh 640 00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:39,800 mammon sum mayamasommada ali sobhana. How many memes in this that's obviously just an 641 00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:45,840 item of interest, not related to our subject as such, but a beautiful 642 00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:51,880 verse alas is we said, Oh no, disembark in peace from this arc 643 00:54:52,519 --> 00:54:59,559 you and your people, and from your people, disembark those whom we will 644 00:54:59,639 --> 00:55:04,480 grant them goodness for a short period of time, and thereafter we will punish 645 00:55:04,559 --> 00:55:07,960 them even after that. What does that verse mean? That verse means that, 646 00:55:08,119 --> 00:55:10,960 oh no, we want you to know that now there's only believers with 647 00:55:12,039 --> 00:55:14,639 you. When they come out and they're going to have their children and so 648 00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:17,440 on, they will come a time when they will then deserve the punishment once 649 00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:24,719 again. Alas Supanahua to Allah protect us and our offspring as well. Then 650 00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:30,960 alas Supanahua to Allah gives a gift to no Ali Salah to usna alas is 651 00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:37,639 in the puran Waja al Naduria tahu Humul backing those who are in the ship 652 00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:42,000 with Nu or in the ark with Noah. May peace be upon him. 653 00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:47,440 None of them had offspring besides Nuh. So every one of us here we 654 00:55:47,559 --> 00:55:52,760 are the children of no not anyone who was with him Subhanah la alas is 655 00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:58,280 the others. They were not granted children him. His progeny is what continued 656 00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:00,400 him and his sons, and his sons sons and so on, And there 657 00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:06,000 was continuation there.
