WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.360 --> 00:00:03.040 A person who goes down into their grave after the 2 00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:06.559 soul has gone and they are in their grave, imagine 3 00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:09.960 what will be the condition of an individual there. We 4 00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:13.400 believe that there is something known as dog thought will 5 00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:17.800 cover you know, the grave being made narrow. How is 6 00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:19.800 it going to be made narrow? Allah knows, but we 7 00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:22.640 believe it. It's going to happen because it's there. The 8 00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:27.440 prophet Haslam explained it to us that, you know, tightening 9 00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:31.399 or the narrowing of that grave. What will happen and 10 00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:35.280 how the person will be tested so much? And how 11 00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:37.759 they will be questioned in that grave. It's the truth. 12 00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:40.759 The angels will come and they will see the individual. 13 00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:43.359 How it will happen Allah knows best. But the questions 14 00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:45.600 are going to be asked by the angels. Who is 15 00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:49.280 your rub, who is your nabie, what is your dean? 16 00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:52.600 And so on? And it's no good for us to say, well, 17 00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:54.280 I know the answers. Every day in the morning, I 18 00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:56.759 used to say twenty times, that's not good enough. 19 00:00:56.840 --> 00:00:59.119 If you were following, you will be able to answer, 20 00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:01.320 and if you are not following, you won't be able 21 00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:01.840 to answer. 22 00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:03.439 So here is the mean. 23 00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:05.760 The one who was believing he will answer just like that, 24 00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:08.280 and he will be given a good resting place. You know, 25 00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:11.840 a little perhaps breeze of heaven will be released for 26 00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:14.599 that person because of the goodness that the person engaged 27 00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:18.239 in his life, and the other person, the evil person 28 00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:20.599 who engaged in bad and did not turn back to 29 00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:22.920 a loss of Hannah at Alah. He will say or 30 00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:25.519 she will say, you know what, who is your up? 31 00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:27.280 Who is your nab? What is your dean? 32 00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:27.840 And so on? 33 00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:32.439 Oh yeah, I heard people saying something, and I used 34 00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:37.599 to say something as well. That's what sometimes we are 35 00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:40.599 guilty of. You know how we heard people reading the Koran? 36 00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:43.439 We just read it, that's all. We just said the 37 00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:46.319 same thing without even thinking what's the meaning of it? 38 00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:48.599 What is it?

They belong to Allah before they 121 00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:24.000 were even connected to you. But Allah used you to 122 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:28.240 bring them into existence in order to fulfill the bigger plan. 123 00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:29.639 That he has. That's what it is. 124 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:35.040 But otherwise, Allah owns your child and you do not. 125 00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:38.920 Do you know that because you have to look after 126 00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:41.639 that gift of Allah as a test from Allah in 127 00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:43.800 order to earn paradise through the gift of a love. 128 00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:47.120 I have a temporary I have a child temporarily known 129 00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:48.519 as my child here. 130 00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:49.839 In this world in Chadlah. 131 00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:53.720 If I use that temporary opportunity to prepare for heaven, 132 00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:56.639 I will be getting generous only because of my sacrifice. 133 00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:58.959 Same applies with marriage. You're married to someone. 134 00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:04.000 It's temporary, but you can eternalize it in certain ways 135 00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:04.879 if Allah wills. 136 00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:06.199 Subhanahlah. 137 00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:10.240 For now, Subhanalah, I need to use this gift of 138 00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:16.160 Allah that I have by treating her or him in 139 00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:18.879 such a way that I earn general I prepare for 140 00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:19.680 my afterlife. 141 00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:21.560 It's a sacrifice. It's not easy. 142 00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:23.759 And we tell people and now we need to tell 143 00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:26.759 them more and more because materialism is taking over, and 144 00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:29.639 we tell people, you know what, marriage is a big sacrifice, 145 00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:34.399 a huge sacrifice. Without sacrifice, you won't achieve anything. Subhanahlah Malla, 146 00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:37.199 subhanah hawatala. Help us to sacrifice in a way that 147 00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:40.519 he is pleased with us. So let's prepare for the 148 00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:44.680 day we are put down, when our families will return 149 00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:48.720 and what is left. The Hadid speaks of how when 150 00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:52.279 a person is you know, in the form of a janaza, 151 00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:56.120 in the form of a dead person being carried, who 152 00:06:56.160 --> 00:07:02.639 follows this person, family, wealth following this person they buried, 153 00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:06.480 and some things go back, and something stay. What goes back, 154 00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:09.279 the family goes back. Before you know it, your wife 155 00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:11.240 is married again. Subhanahlah. 156 00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:13.720 You know. 157 00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:16.160 It reminds me, and I must pause for a moment 158 00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:18.560 on the lighter note. It reminds me of a person 159 00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:21.560 who was really upset in his marriage and so on, 160 00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:25.800 and you know, they were not happy, and so something 161 00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:29.120 happened and you know, the relationship began to improve and they. 162 00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:30.360 Were working on it and what have you. 163 00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:36.279 So the man asks his wife, if I die, will. 164 00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:39.560 You marry again? That's a question. Imagine. 165 00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:41.920 You know, people make their promises as much as they want, 166 00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:45.199 but you do not know the circumstances of your spouse say, 167 00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:49.120 for example, you died and your spouse is struggling so 168 00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:51.360 much and they need some form of help. No one's 169 00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:53.560 coming to help them. They wouldn't be wrong to marry again. 170 00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:56.959 In fact, it's encouraged to marry again, subhanahlah. But at 171 00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:00.040 the same time, listen to what the spouse is. A 172 00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:02.000 woman says when the husband says, will you marry again? 173 00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:05.199 So she says no, no, so what will you do? 174 00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:10.360 I'll just stay with my sister. Okay, Wow, good answers. 175 00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:12.319 And a little while later she asked, what about you, 176 00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:15.160 will you marry again? He says no, so what will 177 00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:17.639 you do? I'll also just stay with your sister. May 178 00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:20.439 a loss of Hannah Hotela Granta's is we a loss 179 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:23.800 of Hannah hot Allah? Bless us we a loss of 180 00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:24.600 Hannah hot Allah? 181 00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:25.120 Forgive us. 182 00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:27.800 We ready to make a plan for when our spouse 183 00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:30.920 is dying, But we haven't made a plan for when 184 00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:31.519 we die. 185 00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:34.159 Have you thought of what I'm saying? We make a plan. 186 00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:36.279 We already know if she dies, Hey, I've got another 187 00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:39.120 two three lined up mashallah. And we don't know, brother, 188 00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:42.440 you're dying before her. So Hannah lah may allah sub Hannah, 189 00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:45.360 ho Allah, help us to prepare. May Allah help us 190 00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:48.120 to prepare. Really, this is something that we need to 191 00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:50.679 think about. So I was saying, your deeds are the 192 00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:51.559 only things that. 193 00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:52.200 Remain with you. 194 00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:55.399 Otherwise your wealth goes back. Your children are fighting over it. 195 00:08:55.559 --> 00:08:58.000 They've stopped talking to each other over it. They have 196 00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:00.679 broken the family into twenty pieces of over your wealth. 197 00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:03.039 Ask those whom this has happened to. They will confirm, yes, 198 00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:06.000 it's correct. And what has happened that wealth? Had you 199 00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:08.399 not left it, perhaps your family might have been closer 200 00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:10.519 bonded than now that you had a lot of wealth. 201 00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:12.799 I know of people who had nothing and after the 202 00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:15.039 death the family is so close, mashallah. 203 00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:15.720 And I know of. 204 00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:18.720 People who've had so much that when the person passes away, 205 00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:20.879 someone is trying to rob this one, and the other 206 00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:22.960 one is denying that one, and this one is claiming 207 00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:25.080 his share of inheritance, and the other one comes and 208 00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:27.360 say that was mine, and I worked with dad and 209 00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:29.679 I did this and it was me, And debates go on. 210 00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:31.159 Yes, there are exceptions to that. 211 00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:33.279 There are people who've died marshall are wealthy, and even 212 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:36.919 their children mashallah, have been happy thereafter. But the message 213 00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:39.559 here is what you've amassed in terms of wealth, and 214 00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:41.519 what you have had in terms of relatives. 215 00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:43.720 You've had twenty thirty fifty children. 216 00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:46.799 Trust me, they will go back. Before you know it, 217 00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:49.279 they will forget you. Look, we are seated here. How 218 00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:52.799 many of you know your seventh forefather? I don't know 219 00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:54.960 why they called him four fathers. One day when I 220 00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:56.879 was young, I used to think, the reason why they 221 00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:58.919 called him four fathers is you can only remember up 222 00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:01.240 to four of them. After that, you can't remember that's 223 00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:03.840 a forefather. You remember your forefathers? Say yes, all four 224 00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:05.159 of them. 225 00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:07.320 Hanahwat alah help us. 226 00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:10.720 But one wonders, it's a fact you will not remember 227 00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:13.440 your forefather. How many of us know seven generations back? 228 00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:16.559 But they were important people. You are from their lineage 229 00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:19.000 and you don't even know about them. They why you 230 00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:22.559 are their family. But they went, They left you behind, 231 00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:23.759 gode the wealth. 232 00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:25.720 That they had well too late. So hanahla. 233 00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:27.679 You might have a piece of land somewhere in one 234 00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:29.720 of the rural areas of some place you come from 235 00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:31.200 that was your ancestral land. 236 00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:31.639 Big deal. 237 00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:34.440 No one wants you there today. Hanahwa to alah grant 238 00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:38.600 us goodness. Really, so what happens is the thing that 239 00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:41.159 comes with you your deeds. Your deeds come in the 240 00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:45.559 form of people. Sometimes the ADID has different descriptions. The 241 00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:49.000 deeds come in the form of a protection for you. 242 00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:52.799 That's your deed, that's your deed. What did you do 243 00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:53.519 this man? 244 00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:56.840 This is his zaka, this is his salah, beautiful salah. 245 00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:01.120 We don't want a quality that is useless. Subanah love. 246 00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:02.759 You know, there was a time when we used to 247 00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:05.840 think that the quality of items made in China is 248 00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:06.279 not good. 249 00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:06.960 But that's wrong. 250 00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:09.720 It depends how much you are ready to pay for 251 00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:13.000 an item. Ask those who've done business. There was a 252 00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:16.039 time when I didn't know any better. I was corrected 253 00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:19.559 by someone who is Chinese here in this crowd. Subanah 254 00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:22.399 Lah corrected me. They sent me an email to say, hey, 255 00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:23.679 what you said was insulting. 256 00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:26.159 It was wrong. You cannot say Chinese products are bad 257 00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:26.919 and they're not. 258 00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:30.600 And I guarantee you that it depends on how much 259 00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:33.159 you pay and also on alla's exceptance. You know, sometimes 260 00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:35.480 you buy a vehicle, very expensive one, but it happens 261 00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:36.759 to be slightly faulty. 262 00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:39.440 Well that you paid for a lovely car. The faults. 263 00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:41.320 That was just a test for you, between you and 264 00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:43.879 Allah suhanah, how much alah. No one planned it for 265 00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:46.440 you to have that particular item. It was alas planned. 266 00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:50.600 The same applies. You see how much you're ready to pay. 267 00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:52.960 That's the type of goods you get. So if you 268 00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:56.000 want to buy a light and the light is one 269 00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:58.840 did hum, then perhaps it will last for a day, 270 00:11:58.879 --> 00:11:59.519 two days. 271 00:11:59.320 --> 00:11:59.919 And then it will go. 272 00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:02.919 You know, I don't know if you recall the story 273 00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:06.159 I told you about a man who only paid one 274 00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:08.399 cent for the fans that he had. 275 00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:10.799 So he bought a whole box of these fans, and 276 00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:11.600 he tested one. 277 00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:14.600 His wife tested one and as she held you know 278 00:12:14.679 --> 00:12:15.519 that the fan. 279 00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:16.080 That opens up. 280 00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:19.120 As he held the first fan, it broke, or his 281 00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:21.120 wife held it and it broke. The wife held the 282 00:12:21.159 --> 00:12:25.720 second one, it broke, third one it broke. So the 283 00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:28.480 wife calls him and says, hey, hey, relax, you bought 284 00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:31.559 this thing here and these are breaking. They are defects, rejects. 285 00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:33.720 We have a wedding coming up. We wanted to distribute 286 00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:34.320 these things. 287 00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:36.440 To all the guests. How did you do this? 288 00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:39.080 So he took the boxes and he went back, and 289 00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:40.519 he went back to the man on the side of 290 00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:43.159 the road selling these boxes, and he says, hey, these 291 00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:44.799 things are not working. He says, what do you mean 292 00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:45.279 they're not working? 293 00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:45.840 They're breaking. 294 00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:47.799 The man says, how much did you pay? He says, 295 00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:50.200 I paid a cent each. I bought the whole box. 296 00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:52.759 You know, so many boxes, four boxes. I paid a 297 00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:56.200 cent each. So the man says, oh, there are other 298 00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:58.240 ones that come for a diar hum and another one 299 00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:00.159 that comes for ten dear hums. It depends how what 300 00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:02.279 you pay. Did you read the instructions the ones you 301 00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:04.000 paid the cent ones? Did you look at the what 302 00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:06.279 it says inside there? He said, no, Well there's a 303 00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:08.600 way of using them. You want to pay it the 304 00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:10.919 one cent, you must know how to use it. So 305 00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:15.200 the man says, well, how this is a fan. It's normal. 306 00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:17.440 The whole world knows. You open the thing and Marchiallat 307 00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:19.360 gives you a nice design and then you use it, 308 00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:20.080 you know, with your hand. 309 00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:22.480 He says, no, no, no, no, those are the ones 310 00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:25.360 for dinham. The one for one cent is a different way. 311 00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:26.240 So what's the way? 312 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:27.960 He says, Come, I show you, Okay, hold it in 313 00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:28.320 your hand. 314 00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:29.200 He holds it in his hand. 315 00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:31.159 He opens the thing and it's you know, the fan 316 00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:32.360 comes out, beautiful picture. 317 00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:33.879 He says, Now put it in front of your face. 318 00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:39.279 He says, okay, put it in front now say the 319 00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:41.039 man says, what do you mean? He says, but that's 320 00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:43.120 if you want to pay nothing, you got to know 321 00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:45.679 how to use it. You want the ones that you move, 322 00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:48.279 you must pay. But more do you know what with 323 00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:49.080 our deeds? 324 00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:54.039 Sometimes sometimes our deeds are not the sincerity, the quality 325 00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:55.600 is not good enough. 326 00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:59.879 My love forgive us. So take a look at Suratu. 327 00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:17.279 Mulk Alas subhanah analysis Tabarak gordy Alali, Come, come ala 328 00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:19.159 well as he is. 329 00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:23.879 We know we read Mulk so often people know it 330 00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:25.840 off by heart. Listen to that second verse. 331 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:28.799 Alas says, it is he who has created death in 332 00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:30.480 life for a certain reason. 333 00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:31.480 What's the reason. 334 00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:36.799 In order to test who has better deeds from amongst you? 335 00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:40.440 He didn't say who has more deeds? Because what's the 336 00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:41.360 point of doing. 337 00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:43.840 More deeds when the quality is like that one cent fan? 338 00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:44.960 What's the point? 339 00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:48.000 I'd rather do less deeds with the quality that when 340 00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:50.919 I need the fan and the cooling, I will be cool. 341 00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:54.639 Subhana lah. So this is why I remember your faath 342 00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:58.080 is your fara. You cannot compromise that, your obligation. You 343 00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:01.279 cannot compromise, but that which is excess and more than that, 344 00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:04.919 the quality is more important than the quantity. If you 345 00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:07.960 have read the Qur'an properly and thoroughly and covered it 346 00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:12.279 within a span of a month, and you did it correctly, beautifully, 347 00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:15.000 trying to understand its meaning and so on, it is 348 00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:18.279 far more valuable than whipping through it and telling people 349 00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:21.159 I complete one pur on every third day or every 350 00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:23.759 day and so on. If you want to read raka'at 351 00:15:23.799 --> 00:15:26.840 of salah and offer voluntary salah, it is far better 352 00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:29.519 for your preparation for the afterlife if you were to 353 00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:33.639 offer less with quality than offering more with quantity and 354 00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:37.759 no quality. If you can do both alhamdulillah, quality and quantity, 355 00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:40.840 that is a success. But if you cannot do the 356 00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:43.559 quantity of it, remember it's the quality that counts. 357 00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:45.519 These are the deeds. 358 00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:48.600 This is preparation for the afterlife, because when we get 359 00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:52.399 to our grades, that's salah that we did last minute. 360 00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:55.840 You know it happens every day, Hey, it's us. So 361 00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:56.879 what time is sunset? 362 00:15:57.039 --> 00:16:01.440 Okay, sunset is at five point thirty one, so we say, okay, 363 00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:03.519 it's still five five o'clock. I still got a bit 364 00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:06.240 of time and were still finishing a game, watching a movie, 365 00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:07.279 doing some brother. 366 00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:08.679 Stop everything the. 367 00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:13.799 The time started at three something, three thirty five, whatever 368 00:16:13.879 --> 00:16:17.200 the time was. You need to put aside everything and 369 00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:21.440 read your Salah. We always say tell your work, don't 370 00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:25.600 say don't say oh Salah, I have work, say oh work, 371 00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:26.600 I have salah. 372 00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:29.480 Quit it. The women folks, sometimes they're cooking for you, 373 00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:33.600 because sometimes we come roaring home like a lion. I'm hungry. 374 00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:36.480 Have you heard that? I'm hungry? What is that to eat? 375 00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:39.840 Hey? Poor woman is reading Salah to laso, and we 376 00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:43.200 shouting relax, take it easy, Go and make yourself an 377 00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:46.159 egg in shall Lah. That egg is more blessed than 378 00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:48.720 you screaming in this way while she's trying to earn 379 00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:54.000 her genda.
