Allah subhana WA Ta'ala says in Surat al-baqarah which is ayat 60 to 67 he says, "O you who believe ...".  whenever Allah says ...give out from the good of what you have

earned you see again this is Allah subhana WA Ta'ala is honoring Bani-Adam he's saying give out

from the good of what you have earned

how did you earn it

how did you earn it Allah give you the

Quadra he gave you the end he gave you

the Papa he gave you all the means by

which you earned something so did you

really earn it if I've empowered you to

do everything and then you do it after

I've empowered you to do it

do you really feel like you did it or do

you feel like this person is the one

that enabled me to do this had it not

been for him I couldn't have done it so

in reality that father Leo delayed the

the real benefit of it goes back to that

person but Allah is saying I'm filmin ie

Betty Mecca Septim give out from the

good that you have earned the kiss is

your livelihood right but this can be

you can extend this beyond that because

you can say your knowledge is acquired

unless you're a prophet your knowledge

is acquired right prophecy is rare muck

hyssop you don't earn prophecy it's

given as ammo HEPA from Allah but there

are knowledge is there are there are

more hey blue dunya

there's gifts from Allah but there's

also things that you have earned Imam

Ossama says leonardo alma mater al PLN

Caspian kena omaha bia

it lobby didn't what i been wished he

had that the one attempting seeking

knowledge will not acquire knowledge

whether it's crispy or webby those are

the two types of knowledge whether it's

something you earn or something given to

you as a gift it won't be given to you

without effort even if you look at the

prophecy the prophets will i said i'm

before his message came what was he

doing what was he doing he was

meditating in the cave he was going up

and he was fasting and he was in his

cave and he was meditating he wasn't

sitting in his house he was out looking

for for god

the prophecy wasn't earned he did not

earn it because he was meditating but

you don't even what's given to you as a

gift is given from something that's the

nature of the gifts of Allah subhana WA

Ta'ala

is that they're given with effort so was

well-being Caspian can aloha via that's

how you get either one so though you go

out and you earn things now this verse

is same my give at America symptom from

the good of what you have earned what

does that mean what's what does that

mean if you have in in in in when you

look at verses in the Quran you can also

look in many of the verses at what's

known as the moham and mahadeva right

which is the opposite this is the

mephone here monopod key tab here allah

saying give out what you have earned so

what is the what is the opposite of that

what's them of whom and mahadeva if it

says give out from the good then what

does that what is understood there don't

give out from the bad don't give out

from the bat we as yeah I don't even let

him Iook at home they give to Allah what

they don't want for themselves that's

what people do you see people will give

their Dean what do they give to their

Dean it's like somebody in in the East

he said my first son he's brilliant and

he's going to medical school

my second son you know he's good student

he's going to engineering my third son

he's not very intelligent we're sending

him to the madrasah to learn Sharia

that's that's not exaggerated there's

people that's what they do the the now

the people that go to Sharia college are

the people with the lowest grades we do

anything that he might cut a home they

give to Allah what they don't want

that's what Muhammad Rock Azadi the

Egyptian scholar or him oh Allah there

was a brilliant young boy who was blind

and they put him in the allows her

traditionally had a place for blind

people which is beautiful in this

culture what did they do with blind

people they had to beg in the Muslim

world they used to they had special

sections in the Islamic schools for

blind so they could become a dilemma

right and the and one of the things that

blind people Allah gave them real

openings because they don't have the

fitna of the eye they don't look at the

haram so their hearts remain pure but

this young boy went and he was brilliant

student and but they did an operation

and he was cured of his blind because it

wasn't a it was a blindness that could

be treated and he got his sight back and

he was so brilliant they took him out of

the Sharia school and they put him in to

another school to head towards medicine

and Mohammed offers share has that when

he heard that he's a wage I don't even

let my acara home they give to a lot

when he was blind they gave him to Allah

when he got his sight back he goes for

something else so when I lies and give

from the best give from the best of what

you have earned where did you earn it

from

Allah gave it to you in the first place

one you matters up an alumn you and

Filan from what we give them they give

out so give out good don't give out the

rowdy and this comes from a hadith when

a man came he gave something worthless

as charity and the Prophet said it's

bitsa Mehsana what a terrible thing he's

done right this is not sadaqa this is

like a rummage sale at church now even

some of the mosques in America have

rummage sales would eat what a rummage

that you know the rummage sale is is

when people get the worst things in

their house that they want to to throw

away and they go and donate it to the

church it's just an easy way of dumping

stuff most of it they just throw out so

they give it to the church instead right

that's what they dress a rummage sale

you rummage around look at things you're

not using things that you don't want

anymore

people when they're going to throw away

things they all will donate it go donate

it to some I mean people donate mosses

get computers that are you know 186 or

something like that if they even have

that one now it's I don't even know what

it is but they give them these old

computers oh we want to give sadaqa to

the message keep your sadaqa really keep

the sadaqa it's garbage that's all

you're doing you're just getting rid of

your garbage and maybe you want to feel

good about getting rid of your garbage I

don't know but that's not what that's

not what Allah is asking us to give out

he's saying give out Parvati Mecca

symptom from the good of what you have

earned now look at the beauty of the

Sharia when why Adam and Jabbar was sent

to Yemen the prophet sal i said i'm told

him first call them to let it I hate

Allah that's to heed and that's all are

we yet when you go to somebody you don't

say you know what you have to give up

drinking you have to give up fornication

you have to give up he might be enjoying

all those things and then then you tell

him because later I hit a lot G and then

he says when I can't give up all these

things why are you doing that to that

person telling first la la hey la la if

he accepts that he's a Muslim

Laila Allah Muhammad Rasul Allah now

he's a Muslim he can be a bad Muslim

better a bad Muslim than a good cat feel

really is a better to be a bad Muslim

than a good cafe not in this world

right in this world you would prefer a

good cafe to a bad Muslim because of

Mohammed you know you'd rather when if

you have a choice between dealing with a

bad kaffir a good kaffir in his mama dad

he's honest he's upright he's and you

have a bad Muslim you're going to choose

the the good calf here because that's

for dunya but for akhirah that bad

Muslim has better chance right so let

let him in it's like a

she odd Allah said Abdullah from he was

from camera islands he was a scholar

that I met years ago but he was once

somebody one of the Imams at the Central

Mosque asked him to go meet this doctor

English doctor and he went and he said

I've been talking to this man but we

have a problem so he said he went to the

English doctor and he met him and he

said what's what's the problem he said

oh I am is amazing I've been treating

Muslim patients and I really I've read

about it and I just realized that this

is the truth and and there's and he said

humbly lat then you're a Muslim and the

amount was him no no tell him the rest

what you told me he said well I have

problem he said what's that he said you

know I work I'm a physician I do

surgeries I have that praying on those

times is very difficult I just I won't

be able to stop doing things isn't that

he said yeah and what else tell him more

what what else did you tell me he said

well the zakat is fine I don't have any

problem with that I can do that but that

fasting I'm diabetic you know I can't

fast and he sit around it and they said

what else he said what has also he said

I have agoraphobic I don't like to be in

big crowds and idea of going on Hajj is

just too much he said what else he said

well I drink glass of wine every night

you know I've done it all my life and

just and sure how dollar he listen to

all that and then now you can't put

stipulations on coming and slob but

what he told him he said you know what I

can take you around the Muslim world and

introduce you to thousands maybe tens of

thousands of Muslims that don't pray

they don't fast they don't they even

drink they do think but they still

they're Muslim because if you say Leila

Allah Mohammed also by you're Muslim and

that's mr. al Jenna don't let you know

don't put barriers in people coming to

into Islam let them

come into Islam and then let them work

it out that's what the prophets Eliezer

him did there was Sahaba Sahaba that did

not they still kept drinking alcohol

Sahaba it's in sahih bukhari say no Omar

Omar even at her table did the HUD

punishment on his own son for drinking

all might have been a hot Bob a Muslim

can do things that aren't right they're

wrong he's still a Muslim

we're not collage people want the Eman

of angels you know they're Muslim now

they expect if somebody becomes Muslim

they have to be an angel why why you

expect that from somebody just let

people come into Islam and don't expect

anything from them other than Leila hail

allah mohammad rasool allah because if

they believe that according to the

hadith they enter Jenna sooner or later

so he's when he said this man he told

him call them to let you lie hit a lot

why them in German and then he said if

they answer that tell him Allah followed

either him come sorrow what phenom Allah

has made five prayer this is only we had

prioritising now you talk about prayer

he's agreed to tow heed now you Tom

prayer for either add a book if they if

they come to that these are people of

the book he said that you're going to

meet people such as up give you Coleman

a Dickey tab you're going to meet people

that are from the people of the book in

Yemen meaning Jews because there were a

lot of Jews in Yemen call them to this

columns then he said and then if they

answer that tell them that Allah

followed islands ikata

unwary him to Hado min Avenue yah him or

Trudeau era for Cara him what Yakka

baccarat Amy I'm wali him what Yakka

Walker i'ma I'm Wally him and woe to you

in taking the best of their wealth

don't take the best of their wealth

that's why in zakat in the rules of the

count when you learn zakat you take the

middle you don't take the worst and you

don't take the best you take the wassup

of the animals you don't go in and take

the best bulls

they have you don't take the best camels

they have you don't you take them the

middle you don't take the worst we don't

need that he may occur on they give to a

lot what they don't want for themselves

you're relieving them by taking their

weak animals their sick animals no you

take the middle that's what but when

Allah asks us to give when you take you

don't take the best that's right now

from a lot but when he tells us to give

give the best give the best of what you

have for Allah Subhan Allah to ana right

meant by abetemarco septum one in

maharaja Naraku minute are and what we

have brought forth from the earth for

you right that that means as a cut of

harlot the green the the giving zakat of

grain giving zakat of of dates I mean

there's a kidnap a behind for Adela and

said you give zakat to everything that

comes out of the earth and that was his

proof from this ayah the other amounts

have Hadees that they believe hustle so

you know the the hadees' hustle set that

ayah because the eye is am you know the

Amma is a it's general I give out from

what we have brought forth from the

earth for what I am mammal hadith and

don't seek out the foul minho to

amphipoli now what else don't be a seedy

he you wouldn't take it yourselves

don't give out what you yourselves

wouldn't even take right because people

they donate computers that are pieces of

junk they wouldn't take them if somebody

offered them to them why are you giving

it if you wouldn't take it yourself

that's what am i saying why are you

giving something you wouldn't even take

yourself right

what estimable heidi he allah and doe

camille both e and as you overlook it so

something could also the haram if you

give something that's Haram there's

people that take their their uh you know

things that are haram profits that are

Haram is Haram there's hot on profit

they give those out right if you knew

what it was you wouldn't do it but

you'll only take it if you overlook it

if you you know some about a means to

close the eye so that's what Allah

saying that you wouldn't say it unless

you close your eye you know it's like

bribes

you know they bribe they take it from

the back kind of like not looking right

close the eye so that's what I lost you

to handle it the other sang-hwa demo

another half anyone I meet a lot is any

see again he's reminding you I'm not

asking this of you because I need it

don't think I'm

enos of you see you have to understand

this message that Allah has sent from

this is from allah subhana wa ta'ala

this message Allah doesn't need any of

this it's for your benefit not for the

poor people even when you give zakat

don't think you're benefiting anybody

it's your benefit and that's why the

Sunnah giving zakat is to put your hand

under and have theirs over because

they're better than you see now people

look at it like contempt you know

looking down on people no you're

supposed to actually see them as they're

doing you a favor you're not doing them

a favor why hookman embody him take from

their wealth this this charity why

because it purifies them you're

purifying yourself and giving charity

that's what you're doing so when you're

giving this poor person that's his hop

when you give somebody their rights you

don't feel better than them you don't

feel better if you're getting somebody

their Huck it's a right that's a right

that Allah has given that person so all

you're doing is fulfilling a duty when

you fulfill a duty don't feel that

you're doing something you're just doing

the bare minimum a man came to the

prophet Elijah he said Jana suit Allah

I'm cleaning my mother now she was old

and decrepit in her bed

he said I'm cleaning my mother the way

she used to clean me is this bitter

is this what Vidal Valley Dana is

showing them righteousness and he said

no this is equity this is this is took

you know this is Makaha you're just

doing for her now what she did for you

don't think this is extra this is

payback that's all it is you loan

somebody something you give it back when

your parents get old you're supposed to

take care of them why because look what

they did for you for the first 15

years of your life and look how Allah

his Adam is that it's usually about 15

years of their life in which they don't

have strength isn't it somebody till

they're 65 70 they're fine if they live

to be 80 you might spend 10 years

looking after your parent well what

about the 10 years the 15 years your

mother's been what about the nine months

vomiting what about the two years

changing your diaper cleaning your your

feces in your urine

getting up in the night when you cried

worrying about you through your

childhood sicknesses right

fixing food for you three times a day

what about all of that what about that

what about that that your mother did for

you and then your father going out in

the world to provide for you to give you

clothes give you food let's pay back and

now if this culture look what they do to

their parent they put them in old folks

homes and they pay somebody that has no

love for them they can't wait till the

end of the shift

that's all they want they just want the

day to get over because they don't want

to wipe why should I wipe this person's

bottom I don't even know that people

when I worked in a hospital it was very

interesting because I had noticed like

Asian people would come in they wouldn't

let some of the Asian people come they

wouldn't let the nurses clean their

parents they would stay by the bedside

really and Hum doing that there's still

most of the Muslims have that

understanding as well but they're losing

it you look at these young Muslims now

these children seriously you better

start worrying look at them because

they're going to school with all these

non-muslims and they're imbibing the

same understandings they're watching the

cartoons that all make fun of parents

right there watching the sit comedies

that make fun of parents like parents

are the brunt of jokes in this culture

your parents are stupid they're they

don't know they're uncool

they're unhip oh this is Dean is

something else is teaching people to

honor your parents if you want honor

from a lot you better honor your parents

and this was they have that commandment

honor thy parents that was a commandment

is not you should take care of your

parents is a good thing to do to take

care of your present no honor thy

parents the command it was in it was

written in stone according to their own

tradition on the tablets came down from

on high and now look how they treat

their parents

there's comedians that their own parents

are the brunt of their jokes they make

other people laugh by making fun of

their parents so you know that Eliza

honey he's Hameed Allah has no need and

he's praised with his praiseworthy like

Sheikh Ayman al Habibi said woe fabrica

mozu don't behave oh you Dina your

father your bounty exists even if we

didn't exist you don't need us to be

here to be a lira to be a medic to be

eligible to be a aziz to be alpha here

Savion where is and moodle and motley

and man another about you don't need us

you are perfect in yourself nothing

perfects you your creation does not

perfect you allies perfect without his

creation he has no need of us to perfect

his attributes his attributes are

perfect this is father

it's his overflowing bounty that's what

all this is all this to jelly at this

whole world is just this bounty of Allah

well I don't want to love anyone Hameed

now after telling us to do this right to

spend out what does he tell us now a

ship on

yeah I do c'mon shelf on promises

you impoverishment this is what chiffon

does you see

shape on promises you if you do

this if you give out the best of what

you have

you'll be impoverished don't do that

give out that date with the stuff you

don't need yeah I do command he

promises you poverty now whether you

believe in Allah or not I mean

hamdulillah

everybody in here believes in Allah but

out there right whether you believe in

Allah or not that is still going on you

see this is the beauty of the Quran the

Quran apply it's reality it doesn't

matter whether or not you believe it or

not it's happening because there's

people out there fear it's all fear of

provision they're all worried there was

a Newsweek article that showed the flood

rising and there were these two people

in total state of terror about when all

the stocks were crashing and what did it

say are you scared yet what have we got

you scared yet are you scared yet right

and they're all scared I might lose my

job

well you might die tonight I mean that's

the way I look at it is you're going to

be anxious be anxious about something

that's really probable that you might

not get through the day if you're going

to be anxious the only real anxiety to

have in this world as far as I can see

is anxiety about death that's the big

one forget all that other stuff because

there's no guarantee about that one

right so why are you going to worry

about poverty Ida come and up

that's all he can do oh you might be

impoverished you might lose your job I

might die too right

that's a response to shell pond can you

promise me life can you give me a signed

contract and even if he did don't

believe him

because he's a liar so Shep on

yeah I do come on William or

Oakland benefaction

he promises you poverty and then what

does he do well yet MORTAL KOMBAT fashio

why because he needs first to get you

anxious and then he can command you to

do something that's that's bad now if

you look at this even has him the great

and ricean scholar said that the

foundational state of humanity is

anxiety hood Eponine Sano holloa man was

created in anxiety hella

that's the state of human beings hella I

mean even sounds like anxious the word

hella it does hello that's a strong word

and it sounded scary huh whoa that's the

state of human beings hello ah hello I

look what the child he comes out what is

this place that's the first thing he's

thinking he's looking around what is

this place I was in this nice place it

was all I was floating around it was all

cushion right you bumping up against

that nice cushion of the womb that nice

heartbeat right the dub-dub-dub

loved it nice they were in training with

that they felt comfortable they had an

umbilicus they didn't have to worry

about food it was coming all the time

into the into the the valley right they

didn't have to now they feel hunger they

want the breasts and then the first

thing that happens they get that cut off

what does she do that's the first thing

that happens and then boom they slap

them on the bottom right pinch him to

get them breathing cuz they're in a

state look when you're when you're in

tones that you can't even breathe ice

what thereat to go hmm and then boom and

they are and they start crying that's

hella there in Ang's that that's human

being look at that that's how you came

into the world and how do people go out

of the world right heart attack Oh

what's

Anthony what's going on no seriously

look at human being and then everything

that happens oh my god you know I forgot

my keys but just relax hey relax my

wallet where's my wallet

in fact my purse where'd I put y-you why

all that anxiety that's human beings

it's a pathetic creature really we're

pathetic right he's a mess over here

manure when he gets good what's he do

hold it back he won't give out why he's

in anxiety yeah I do come on

see he saying give out why won't you

give out because you're your fear of

poverty either miserable hare manure

when good afflicts him he won't give out

YMS solution Josua goes into jeiza hello

Nina

look at that state of human beings it's

all fear worry right so even hasn't said

the whole foundation of the human being

is this state of anxiety it's all fear

and and chiffon knows that because he

knows us he has a good knowledge of our

psychology some of the unum si that

shelf on here means enough Sal Amara

that it's actually the the soul because

the soul is a shape on as well Nestle

Amara is a Shaitaan Shaitaan in Arabic

means the disobedient somebody who's in

disobedience there's chef honored in

shut down or gin and then they're

shipped on or Neffs so this is the

promise of Shaitaan you're going to be

impoverished don't give out don't give

out that's what he says we got motor

company fat shot now even hasn't said

the whole foundation of man's behavior

it can all be interpreted as audible hum

that's what he said

palpable hum that's all human beings are

trying to stave off anxiety he said

every human action that you see you can

interpret it as an attempt to remove

anxiety why do you eat the anxiety of

hunger why do you put on your clothes

the anxiety of coal or the anxiety of

humiliation for being naked right for

exposing yourself is all about anxiety

why do people go out and seek wealth

anxiety about poverty why do people seek

love of leadership anxiety about feeling

like you're insignificant in the world

Napoleon is just a massive infant he

wants to go out and conquer the world

Genghis Khan these are infants that use

the world as their crib and it's all

about feeling important going to prove

to the world who I am that I'm great

magnificent Alexander the Great

conquered the known world

by the age of thirty three what was

driving him what was the what was the

drive

that wanted him to do that right

immortality' Gilgamesh his attempt at

immortality that's what human beings do

everything that you see them doing why

do we seek out friends fear of Solitude

the anxiety of being alone why do people

turn on music anxiety of silence silence

creates anxiety American they've done

studies where if they close their eyes

start meditating a lot of Americans have

acute anxiety attacks just from from

meditating why do people fear surgery

loss of consciousness people are afraid

of being helpless Hey all these things

is all fear that's what it and she'll uh

know that so yeah I do come in

y-yeah Mortal Kombat fashio because what

happens is if you have anxiety

that's when see even Shawa people will

fulfill their shall why because fear of

missing a pleasure the anxiety of

missing a pleasure so they'll actually

fulfill a pleasure because they're

afraid of missing it there's children

they hate to go to sleep they want to go

to sleep why because they're going to

miss something they want really they

want to stay awake that consciousness is

amazing they don't want to go to sleep

that's why it's difficult to put a child

down they'll go until they drop but to

actually get them in bed and have them

lie down it's very difficult to do that

because they think they're going to miss

something

this way human beings are they're there

they have anxiety

everything's anxiety it's all anxiety

hum hum hum right him--as is aspiration

it comes from the same root anxiety so

you're him as relate Aang's like why do

you why do people seek knowledge fear of

ignorance fear of people treating them

with contempt in this culture it's a big

thing in this culture if you don't have

a degree right if you don't have a they

don't care even if you have a phony

degree they'll hang a phony degree on

the wall there's people that will pay

money to get themselves in who's who and

why are you wasting your money you

didn't do anything or get their pay

$1,000 you get $1,000 and you'll be

given some thing that says you're one of

the top doctors in America you can pay

it hang it in your office why are you

doing that you didn't do it you just had

a thousand dollars to give away to a

for-profit organization you would have

been better off giving it to a nonprofit

organization and then you really would

have been one of the best doctors in

America but only Allah would know but

you don't want that you want other

people to know not enough that Allah

knows because how does that benefit me

in the world all these benefits people

want is all trying to get something

everybody wants what that's why cynics

because they know themselves so well

they can only interpret everybody else

what's the bottom line what's his agenda

what's he really trying to get see

that's a cynic because that's his state

right it's from a Greek word doglike

that's what a cynic is they're like dogs

that's why when the Munaf your own see

they wouldn't do anything that they

didn't have some worldly benefit for it

they didn't like it Asia and fuzzier

because it was at dark nobody could see

them when they went to the horror

also--and Mugler if people could see

them as they also and so was in the

prayer line but he Shan fudger was it

was dark there was no electricity in

Medina and if it wasn't a moonlit night

they didn't want to go nobody would

notice they weren't there

Allah would that's not a major concern

so this is the sickness of the soul so

he says everybody's just trying to

remove this anxiety this state of hella

even hasn't said that they'll go to

great links to do this expend their

energy and he said and yet they won't be

able to get rid of it because no matter

how much money you have

you want more the more they get the more

they want they never get satiated

that's what imam advil city in the

border he said don't don't fulfill your

appetites thinking that you'll break it

right he said haven't you seen how the

gorman the glutton only increases in his

desire for food the more he eats that's

the nature the more you get the more you

want there's a hadith a Amla FF&E; Adam

Allah horrible company nothing will fill

the mouth of the son of Adam except the

dirt of his grave that's the only thing

no can lo can it the whole Laden min Deb

Letterman no Athena had he had a valley

of gold he just wants another valley of

gold that's even Adam that's his state

if he has a valley of gold he wants

another Valley yet lash back right

there's no Shiva come on you know one of

the the grammarians noted that all the

letters of Pama have circles in them aw

ein meme and I mean because he said

that's the nature of Pama it's hollow in

the middle it's just always empty come

on just more and more Yelp the Mac Yelp

the matter

and look at shabbat which is to be

shared to seen yet efficie it spreads

out bat closes the the hollow and then i

aim is the source the joke so it gets

filled right that's what shebat to I

can't eat anymore I'm full Shabbat so

then he what so this is what she upon

does he get do that do that you need to

do that no no take it even though it's

Haram if you don't do it you're gonna

you know miss out and that's stupid so

it's all promises of dunya worldly gain

this is what chef anh promised all world

again he can't promise you the next

world he makes you fear this world Cal

ability ribbon and aji de you love the

aji de what is the agita the immediate

world

what is chiffon what's his his favorite

thing Angela Li Jada to minish upon

immediacy is from chiffon your immediate

needs you have immediate needs don't

give out what is a las a Lenten anode

better attitude upon me matter hit boon

you won't gain righteousness until you

give out what you love not what you

don't love anybody can do that anybody

can give those computers they want to

throw away but who can give that

brand-new computer they just bought for

themselves when they see that somebody

needs it for the sake of Allah right who

can give that money that when the stock

drops right you get it's easy to give

your your stocks they were worth eighty

dollars now they're worth two dollars

well I'll just donate them to the Masjid

that's easy to do it's it's it's when

they were riding high well just wait and

then she have fun even if you want to

give he'll say no just wait they'll get

higher he wants to he'll work every

angle that's the nature of chiffon

because he's the conman he's the guy

that does the shell game right flipping

the shelter on the peas in one of them I

can see it I just I'm gone I'm going to

work this out that's what the shell game

is based on these guys that sit on the

streets and do the shell game it's based

on you watching him and you think I know

where the shell is you didn't see him

take the pee out it's not even there

it's sleight of hand

that's what shelf on June it's all

sleight of hand and then in the end you

get cheated all right that's what he

does and then what's he do in me buddy

of mine come

don't blame me let's hello morning no

one physical don't blame me blame

yourselves you got the message you heard

the warning you you were given all his

strategies you were told who he is now

the question is do you really believe do

you believe the book right do you really

believe this because it's there don't

think it's not there all of you have it

you all know it you want to give up what

you think I need that it's hard to do

you heard it you heard oh but you know

saving is it from Islam too so you'll

justify it you'll work it all out in

your mind make it all work why is it

then what people's Iman is is high they

give out why is that there's people that

won't give out and then their Iman

shoots up and boom they give out why is

it only when the Iman's high I mean

isn't that interesting why don't people

give out when the immense low these do

it I mean it's about amen and then you

find out when you give it out you didn't

lose it

right I mean I once I had something I

loved so much and I was in the most of

the provençal I tasted them and there

was an old Sheikh there and he just had

his eye on this and I really didn't want

to give it away but I think I'm in the

mosque of the Prophet his old man's here

I said this Mila I still think about it

every once in a while you know but

sometimes I think maybe that'll get me

into paradise because he was so happy

but maybe if I wasn't in the Masjid of

the Prophet I wouldn't have done that

really maybe I wouldn't have done it

maybe I was here I wouldn't have done it

just would have ignored

and then we walked away shot Abdullah

will dock man who was with me he said

Tama who shakeela because the man he

really wanted it from me it was mine but

he wanted me let me know he wanted it is

so that was his thumb right that that

wanted the pulse I you know what big

deal he was a poor man I could I could

go if I wanted now I could go get

replace it really most of the things

that you have you could replace if you

gave away your Lexus you could replace

it seriously think about that most of

the things you really have you can

replace them might take a little time

but you can do it so why the fear

because maybe I can't maybe I won't be

able to that's all well that's one all

right what a beautiful word well it's a

beautiful word one begins heart of Allah

it's a weak radical Wow

it's the weakest one Wow and then huh

coming from that empty source huh comes

from the Joffe right and then meme it

ends up nothing there and just close

your mount one lime is illusion right

that's what this this whole thing is

just a bunch of one everything you own

is one your own family's one your one

the whole thing really it's all one

right at one more who would he juggle

that is the veil all this illusion cuz

you're we're all gonna die we leave this

place it goes it it just we leave it

every single one of us there were people

a thousand years ago teaching pot on a

thousand years ago think about that 1400

years ago people reading this verse that

I'm reading now here we are today in

California looking at a verse there was

somebody giving tough shear a thousand

years ago telling people a thousand

years ago ship Tanya to come and

all right he was thought now they're all

gone they're all dead

there he was the world reminding people

look it's here it's true believe it

some did some didn't but they all died

so he commands you to fashio

because he's got you in that state of

anxiety if you're not in that state of

anxiety he's got no power over you

that's why he knows the first I have to

get him anxious then I can then I can

tell him don't give out because if he's

not anxious he'll just give out and ship

on has no power so his power is anxiety

yeah I do common a shipowner yeah

I did converter up we are monokuma

Tasha while lahu yeah I do come mother

Ottoman who but what is Allah promised

mother Pharaoh he forgiveness menu is

not just mother Farah it's men who how I

could have said well oye Takuma ferritin

that's enough in the Arabic language he

promises you forgiveness but he says

mother ferritin min who just to let you

know because hedeman multi right you do

Luana element martha the the vastness of

the giver indicates the greatness of the

gift mother Pharaoh from Allah

now what does see what a ship on

promising you he's promising you

something which is one do you understand

that yeah I do commit will you

become impoverished maybe you will but

maybe you won't now we know if it's

about sadaqa what is the prophets allah

i am say mana pasar malam means avocado

wealth is not diminished by charity

that's a promise

so if you believe in Allah his promise

is false but even if we grant the common

maybe you will become impoverished but

maybe you won't it's only probable now

what is it in relation to what is his

promise in relation to the dunya is only

related to dunya he's not promising that

you're going to be impoverished in the

Ankara that's what will happen if you

don't give out in the dunya he's working

on your love of dunya he's working on

your your love of being in the world

that's what he's what is Allah promising

mahira in the al-shara min who from

Allah SWA his wad is about acida is

about infinity it's not about finite

it's not about you know you're going to

lose a hundred thousand dollars you're

going to lose two hundred no this is

about infinity monofilament well thought

that I'm and bounty father in other

words you have bounty in the world as

well he's promising you that because

Allah is not promising you scarcity

Allah the the whole crux of this

sentiment in the Quran is that we live

in a bounteous universe we have a

bounteous Lord see there's two ways of

looking at the world there's the way of

scarcity and then there's the way of

bounty these people are all is all about

scarcity there's not enough water the

water tables are dropping right there's

not enough gas oil is about to go out

right there's not enough food there's

going to be great famines it's all fear

do you see this is what they're working

on it's all fear there's not enough jobs

to go around there's two overpopulation

there's not enough land it's all

scarcity that's what they do because

shelf on this is all don't think believe

that this is true Quran is telling us

the truth and this is what they're

working on they're playing on anxieties

right the topsoil is disappearing

all this fear it's all about fear fear

fear look at the earth there was a time

in America when when they said a

squirrel could go from the east coast to

Oregon and not touch the ground there

were so many trees they're all gone

right they're all gone the same is true

of North Africa people don't realize

it's North akka Africa used to be

jungles the word in Arabic where model

that has lives is called taganas which

means in Berber it means jungle it's a

desert now who made in a desert right it

was made a desert by the Arabs even

Hodgins had many he doubt crossed North

Africa like locusts see we're not the

only one I mean they think now these are

the only people that have ever been

guilty of crimes against the earth it's

an old old thing though the Romans the

Muslims did it we made our mistakes many

people made our mistake many people made

these mistake but look at how each at

each level when when what was the

primary fuel of the earth initially wood

woods all gone we're worried now about

what they're what's left if it's

produced enough oxygen for us then what

showed up after wood when all the

forests were gone coal who where'd that

come from hidden all that time why

didn't people discover it when there was

no wood and then coal started causing

all the problems and and and and

diminishing in number then what shows up

oil and how oils is going to go it's

going to disappear put everybody in a

state of anxiety why why is it that

everything man needs men gets provided

for his needs are met they've always

been met

they've never not been met we're still

here after all these millennia still

eating still drinking still procreating

but when you're not in a state of

devotion Allah will meet your needs but

they'll harm you

so our fuel is toxic we still get it but

it's toxic if we were doing the right

thing Allah would give us things that

didn't harm us but he does that why

LAN LAN LAN no mirrors your own maybe

they'll return to it maybe they'll enter

in the state of humbleness and beg for

help that's that is all done for a

reason so this is what share pandas well

oh yeah I Tacoma villa to Managua favela

well la wash your own allies vast Eileen

all-knowing chiffon is not vast Shelton

is not all-knowing now after all of this

what does Allah subhana wa dare to say

you would see in hikmah tomainia

but this is wisdom the people that are

able to understand this are wise people

and he gives his wisdom to whomever he

pleases the Quran is what the Quran al

Hakim it's the wise Quran woman you'd

said hikmah Tophet ot a high rank akhira

and whoever is given hikmah is given

great good Ramaiah DeCaro

illa allah al bab but only people have

innermost core remember this look lubicz

is the seed it's the pit people have pit

weighty people pity people waiting

people not empty people because human

beings are between Apple and hump alkyl

is intelligence hump is foolishness and

what's in between is soft so fief

that's why most people if you look out

there are in a state of hamako even the

intelligent people they're all in a

state of hamako stupidity because what

is an apple Allah says about the kuffara

whom Coleman they are people there are

people that don't use their Apple what

is often what does happen what is the

benefit derived from outcome is that

you're able to weigh things intellectus

in Latin means to judge between things

Alcon enables you to judge between

falsehood and truth in the mockolate in

the intelligible and right and wrong in

the more I'm mad at you have mockolate

and you have more I'm a net alcohol is

the ability to judge between truth and

falsehood in the intelligible and

between right and wrong in the

transactions so the human being has a

rational and a moral component both of

them are related to the intellect and

that is what the alkyl is the Alpha yaki

Luca and in balton it prevents you from

falling into falsehood we are kilkanin

haram and it prevents you from entering

into the wrong in your moral

transactions

that's what alkyl is so if you see

people out there no matter how

intelligent they are no matter how to

see jihad is cleverness what's called

dahab the Arabs have words for all these

things we used to a clever person is not

an out them for instance you know

there's Wall Street people Boesky type

people there's no doubt that they're

clever they're dajia they have to have

but it's not alcohol because their their

their cleverness does not prevent them

from doing wrong and does not encourage

them to do right so in the end like the

Arab say a potato hadaka

his cleverness killed him iemon tamiya

called one man he's one of the

philosophers he said vicki haru's icky

he was clever but not pure Vicky

he was icky so you want the anthem

that's what we want neither come to Peru

that's what this all is all about it's

learning to use the internet and the

intellect is trained by education first

and foremost you have to educate the

mind the mind is is the mind has amazing

innate abilities but it also has amazing

innate flaws and that's what learning

does it separates what's good from the

intellect from what's bad because the

intellect will trip you up just like a

napkin can stop you prevent you from the

truth as well they thought the thing

that the aqua can do that even has him

says that the majority of people have

this quality of soul they'll talk about

things of no benefit to them he said

that they'll desire things that can he

said the world is like this he said it's

like a wheel being turned by a torrent

you know like these water wheels but

there's a torrent coming down he said

you can't stop the wheel he said all

your wishes are empty wishes you're not

going to change things by wishing you

change things by engaging the world so

that's what he said you can spend your

life just talking about things and then

there's other people that go out and do

things they engage the world they change

things and they're easy to criticize

those people but the people that

criticize them are people sitting on the

sidelines that's what that's who

criticizes you'll always see the critics

are people on the sidelines they're not

in the world they're not engaging the

world they're just watching oh look at

that guy he's trying to do this look at

that person is so stupid this is madness

there's an empty life and then when they

die they just find out they just wasted

their lot he's had it better to have a

good opinion of everybody have good

feelings goodwill towards everybody he

said have goodwill towards everybody

desire good for everybody on the planet

why desire

evil for people it comes from an empty

source people that want the destruction

of another people people that want I

mean there are some evil people on the

world there's no doubt there are people

there they're just evil the majority of

people they're just their fence sitters

what you need to do is to tip the fence

over there's a low I'm gonna see the

muhammad's embodies and I'm
