WEBVTT 00:00.605 --> 00:05.789 [SPEAKER_00]: the Prophet ﷺ fear most for this Ummah in his own words. 00:07.911 --> 00:10.173 [SPEAKER_00]: You can raise your hand and you can shout it out. 00:15.557 --> 00:17.839 [SPEAKER_00]: Disunity, he certainly feared it. 00:18.859 --> 00:23.083 [SPEAKER_00]: But there is something he said, ahwaful, ma ahhafwala umati. 00:23.743 --> 00:25.805 [SPEAKER_00]: The thing I fear most for my Ummah, 00:29.363 --> 00:33.804 [SPEAKER_00]: Qala Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, a shirk al-asqaq. 00:34.824 --> 00:40.925 [SPEAKER_00]: He said, the thing I fear most from my Ummah is a shirk al-asqaq, the smaller shirk. 00:42.186 --> 00:45.146 [SPEAKER_00]: And they said, yara sur Allah, what is the smaller shirk? 00:46.106 --> 00:48.187 [SPEAKER_00]: Qala alaihi wa sallallahu alaihi wa sallam arriya. 00:49.287 --> 00:49.867 [SPEAKER_00]: Showing off. 00:51.388 --> 00:53.568 [SPEAKER_00]: Why do I start with this particular Hadith? 00:54.718 --> 01:00.099 [SPEAKER_00]: And what do I want you to remember, Bethany Lightahar as we build out the frame for tonight? 01:01.420 --> 01:17.564 [SPEAKER_00]: We've been speaking about a determined umma, an umma of himma, an umma of azim, an umma that possesses ambition, and determination, and zeal, an umma that Allah Subhaner Tata establishes on this earth with 01:22.390 --> 01:38.096 [SPEAKER_00]: And tonight, I want to actually start off with what the Prophet's lie some feared most for this umma, because victory is not always what we think it is, and victory in outcome is not always victory of the umma. 01:39.557 --> 01:45.479 [SPEAKER_00]: Here's what I want you to walk through with me with Nenahintahala for tonight. 01:46.853 --> 01:54.557 [SPEAKER_00]: When we think of victory and when we think of defeat, we often think of material outcomes. 01:55.798 --> 02:03.942 [SPEAKER_00]: And we want to see some sort of joy come back to the Ummah and power. 02:04.392 --> 02:05.933 [SPEAKER_00]: come back to the Ummah. 02:06.454 --> 02:11.998 [SPEAKER_00]: We are sick of a state of humiliation, and we want to see the Ummah back on top. 02:12.359 --> 02:14.480 [SPEAKER_00]: When we read about Salah Adina, A.U.B. 02:14.580 --> 02:25.329 [SPEAKER_00]: Ahim Allah Teala, when we read about Andalus, when we read about the golden days of the Ummah, we long for certain elements of those golden days. 02:26.110 --> 02:30.454 [SPEAKER_00]: But there's a question that we have to ask ourselves, what part of the 02:33.485 --> 02:36.025 [SPEAKER_00]: What part of the victory appeals to you? 02:37.266 --> 02:43.447 [SPEAKER_00]: Because Islam is an affair of the heart before it's an affair of material external outcomes. 02:45.367 --> 02:46.727 [SPEAKER_00]: And so I start with this head-eath. 02:49.088 --> 02:50.448 [SPEAKER_00]: Mahahaf wa anahumati. 02:51.148 --> 03:01.650 [SPEAKER_00]: The thing I fear most for my umma is a lower version of shirk, a lower version of shirk, the smaller polytheism, which is a ri'a. 03:02.628 --> 03:03.228 [SPEAKER_00]: to show off. 03:04.569 --> 03:08.212 [SPEAKER_00]: Now, this is a very interesting hathith for multiple reasons. 03:08.252 --> 03:12.615 [SPEAKER_00]: First and foremost, where is the shirk in the, yeah, that the Prophet Salaism is talking about. 03:13.095 --> 03:29.447 [SPEAKER_00]: You are supposed to be performing for the site of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, but instead you perform for the site of other than Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, therefore in the process you wait, the site of someone else, the way that you should only wait, the site of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala upon you. 03:30.848 --> 03:31.048 [SPEAKER_00]: What does 03:33.165 --> 03:52.074 [SPEAKER_00]: The messenger of Allah ﷺ said that the first three people, that would be pulled into the fire, would be a scholar or a reciter of the Qur'an, a person of generosity, and a person who was perceived as a Shahid as a martyr, can you imagine? 03:53.557 --> 03:57.520 [SPEAKER_00]: Why, every single one of them is brought forth before Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. 03:58.120 --> 04:01.303 [SPEAKER_00]: Mather, Adam, what did you put forth O scholar? 04:01.643 --> 04:03.845 [SPEAKER_00]: What did you put forth O reciter of the Qur'an? 04:04.285 --> 04:07.047 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Allah, I taught the people the Qur'an for you. 04:08.728 --> 04:11.450 [SPEAKER_00]: Allah, as O Jeh, we'll say, Qadapt, you lied. 04:12.891 --> 04:16.934 [SPEAKER_00]: You did that so that people would praise your knowledge, people would praise your recitation. 04:16.994 --> 04:20.577 [SPEAKER_00]: You got what you wanted and now there is nothing left for you in the hereafter. 04:23.212 --> 04:25.394 [SPEAKER_00]: O person who donated and was generous. 04:26.995 --> 04:29.397 [SPEAKER_00]: Mata cadent, what did you put forth? 04:30.177 --> 04:32.579 [SPEAKER_00]: I put forth my money, I put forth my wealth. 04:33.480 --> 04:38.784 [SPEAKER_00]: Fisabiliq in your path, O Allah, I spent Fisabiliq in that to you life. 04:39.964 --> 04:43.387 [SPEAKER_00]: You did that so that people would say what a generous person you are. 04:43.727 --> 04:47.370 [SPEAKER_00]: And it was said, there's nothing left for you in the hereafter now. 04:49.710 --> 04:51.991 [SPEAKER_00]: The Shaheed comes forth, a martyr. 04:52.771 --> 04:54.951 [SPEAKER_00]: Can you imagine a person who gave up his life? 04:55.671 --> 04:56.912 [SPEAKER_00]: What did you put forth? 04:59.292 --> 05:01.273 [SPEAKER_00]: I put forth my life for you, Yallah. 05:01.393 --> 05:02.673 [SPEAKER_00]: I was killed for your sake. 05:03.253 --> 05:05.194 [SPEAKER_00]: Kha'apt, you lie. 05:07.674 --> 05:13.716 [SPEAKER_00]: You did that so that people would say, Jari, what a courageous person you were. 05:15.076 --> 05:18.657 [SPEAKER_00]: And it was said, what you have nothing left for you in the hereafter. 05:19.812 --> 05:27.376 [SPEAKER_00]: It's a scary head-eat to start with, and it expands to a broader framing that the Messenger of Alasli Salam is giving to us. 05:28.536 --> 05:31.938 [SPEAKER_00]: That sometimes, winning, is actually not everything. 05:32.718 --> 05:41.322 [SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes, the material outcome, if coupled with spiritual decay, is actually against you and not for you. 05:41.863 --> 05:44.404 [SPEAKER_00]: And so, from the broader perspective of the Umma, 05:45.347 --> 05:55.361 [SPEAKER_00]: When the Prophet ﷺ tells us about a time of fitham, a time of tribulation, and he says, Qunnaab-dallahu l-maktu'ul, wa l-taqunnaab-dallahu kata. 05:56.788 --> 05:59.629 [SPEAKER_00]: be the servant of Allah that is killed, and not the one that kills. 06:00.469 --> 06:08.212 [SPEAKER_00]: That if oppression takes place, I would rather for you to die as a Muslim, to die as an oppressed person than to be an oppressor. 06:08.652 --> 06:10.833 [SPEAKER_00]: It's not always about being on the throne. 06:11.573 --> 06:13.674 [SPEAKER_00]: It's not always about material victory. 06:14.074 --> 06:21.517 [SPEAKER_00]: It's not always about winning as an umma, because if that winning, if that victory, if that triumph, 06:22.517 --> 06:29.001 [SPEAKER_00]: is coupled with spiritual decay than it is against you and not for you on the day of judgment. 06:29.321 --> 06:36.706 [SPEAKER_00]: And this affaire of la ilah Allah Muhammad al-Rasulullah is primarily an affaire of the ahirah, not an affaire of this dunya. 06:37.787 --> 06:39.007 [SPEAKER_00]: It's an affaire of the hereafter. 06:40.788 --> 06:49.694 [SPEAKER_00]: So when it comes to your goodness, if your good outcome doesn't have a good internal quality, forget the good outcome. 06:52.665 --> 06:53.366 [SPEAKER_00]: on the other side. 06:54.487 --> 07:02.595 [SPEAKER_00]: The Prophet ﷺ also said, I don't fear poverty for you as an 엄마. 07:03.496 --> 07:05.759 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm actually not worried about you going poor. 07:06.840 --> 07:10.964 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not worried about the resources leaving your 엄마. 07:12.266 --> 07:14.128 [SPEAKER_00]: But I'm actually worried about 07:15.587 --> 07:18.948 [SPEAKER_00]: A loss of Hanoatata, opening the doors of wealth for you. 07:19.669 --> 07:24.790 [SPEAKER_00]: The earth presenting itself, too, you having all the wealth and the resources in the world. 07:26.711 --> 07:38.275 [SPEAKER_00]: But then you fight over that wealth, become intoxicated by it, rivalries, overworldly possession, start to take place. 07:45.770 --> 07:47.071 [SPEAKER_00]: It's a very interesting Hadith. 07:47.492 --> 07:48.773 [SPEAKER_00]: La Aqshadi, come and fuck. 07:49.193 --> 07:55.679 [SPEAKER_00]: Now, by the way, on an individual level, the Prophet ﷺ said, al-Yadul Iriya, khairum Nalyadu Sufla. 07:56.440 --> 07:58.942 [SPEAKER_00]: The upper hand is better than the lower hand. 07:59.162 --> 08:00.484 [SPEAKER_00]: Al-Yadul Iriya, al-Munfiqha. 08:01.495 --> 08:03.196 [SPEAKER_00]: The upper hand is the giving hand. 08:03.816 --> 08:06.797 [SPEAKER_00]: At the other sufla, the lower hand is the receiving hand. 08:07.277 --> 08:12.159 [SPEAKER_00]: It's better to have the upper hand than to have the lower hand. 08:12.580 --> 08:16.341 [SPEAKER_00]: What is true at an individual level is also true at the collective level. 08:17.102 --> 08:22.864 [SPEAKER_00]: When the Prophet ﷺ praises the virtue of something individually, it applies to the ummah as a whole. 08:23.304 --> 08:24.985 [SPEAKER_00]: And when he talks about 08:26.094 --> 08:31.115 [SPEAKER_00]: something being dispraised worthy at the individual level, it applies to the umma as a whole. 08:31.595 --> 08:33.935 [SPEAKER_00]: So is there a contradiction between the ahadith? 08:34.355 --> 08:36.756 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not worried about you being poor. 08:37.176 --> 08:38.496 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm worried about you being rich. 08:38.616 --> 08:44.557 [SPEAKER_00]: But by the way, it's better to have the upper hand than the lower hand and to be the giving hand rather than the receiving hand. 08:44.917 --> 08:46.778 [SPEAKER_00]: Is there a contradiction between the two? 08:48.078 --> 08:48.298 [SPEAKER_00]: No. 08:49.578 --> 08:51.919 [SPEAKER_00]: Because it's better to be the upper hand 08:56.696 --> 09:09.480 [SPEAKER_00]: But if there comes a time where the choice is having the upper hand with corruption, or being the lower hand with your religion intact, then it's better to be the lower hand. 09:11.101 --> 09:22.384 [SPEAKER_00]: It's better to actually not be on top if the expense of being on top is the relinquishing of what makes you elevated in the sight of your Lord. 09:25.282 --> 09:36.511 [SPEAKER_00]: You can praise an outward condition or say that all things equal and outward favorable condition is better than a lower favorable condition or a lower condition. 09:38.032 --> 09:42.316 [SPEAKER_00]: So should we as an umma seek to be on top? 09:42.616 --> 09:42.936 [SPEAKER_00]: Yes. 09:44.398 --> 09:50.363 [SPEAKER_00]: But litaqun kedi matullahi al-Aliya, so that the word of Allah is what is most high, not us. 09:51.630 --> 09:55.111 [SPEAKER_00]: Should we seek to be in a situation where we are financially capable? 09:55.511 --> 09:55.891 [SPEAKER_00]: Yes. 09:56.852 --> 10:01.934 [SPEAKER_00]: But so that we can spend for the sake of Allah Subhanar Tata, not consume the world for ourselves. 10:04.834 --> 10:10.256 [SPEAKER_00]: The Prophet ﷺ told us that one day we would be many in number. 10:11.557 --> 10:11.757 [SPEAKER_00]: Right? 10:12.937 --> 10:14.718 [SPEAKER_00]: Is it a good thing to be many in number? 10:16.278 --> 10:17.579 [SPEAKER_00]: I really want to see interaction though. 10:21.428 --> 10:25.290 [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, either, in answer to Allah, He will fit. 10:25.490 --> 10:29.672 [SPEAKER_00]: What are I to naseya, the Qur'an-e-Fedin-e-Lahi-e-Flajha? 10:30.333 --> 10:33.775 [SPEAKER_00]: Fasad-behb-hamdirab-bika wa-staghfiru-e-na-hu-kana-tawaba. 10:34.515 --> 10:36.856 [SPEAKER_00]: The Allah, Israel, marks the victory and the fit. 10:37.256 --> 10:40.718 [SPEAKER_00]: You see people coming into the religion in huge numbers. 10:40.798 --> 10:41.639 [SPEAKER_00]: Alhamdulillah. 10:42.863 --> 10:47.986 [SPEAKER_00]: Subbedi Hamdir Abbi Qawastah, glorify the praises of your Lord and seek His forgiveness. 10:48.446 --> 10:49.867 [SPEAKER_00]: It's good to be of a large number. 10:50.167 --> 10:56.931 [SPEAKER_00]: The Prophet ﷺ said, to have children, I will be proud of your number on the day of judgments. 10:58.291 --> 11:08.717 [SPEAKER_00]: One of the most beautiful elements of the Apeka, is the Imam Nil Qayim Rahimullah Tadah said, is that the Apeka is a celebration of the joy of the Prophet ﷺ that his Ummah has just been expanded. 11:09.057 --> 11:10.838 [SPEAKER_00]: It's part of the wisdoms of the Apeka. 11:12.388 --> 11:14.289 [SPEAKER_00]: Our Prophet's song will be proud of the number. 11:15.190 --> 11:35.061 [SPEAKER_00]: On the night of Al-Sratul-Miraj, the messenger of Allah, Allah, he was said, I'm talked about seeing this Ummah that filled the horizon and he thought, is that my Ummah, and then Allah's pants I said, no, and Jabri al-Ali, his salam, turned the Prophet's song to an Ummah that dwarfed that Ummah in size and said, this is your Ummah. 11:37.683 --> 11:38.884 [SPEAKER_00]: The numbers are a good thing. 11:39.044 --> 11:40.545 [SPEAKER_00]: It's one of our greatest strengths. 11:41.726 --> 11:45.570 [SPEAKER_00]: in theory that we are two billion something strong. 11:46.030 --> 11:48.853 [SPEAKER_00]: In theory, this is an incredible strength. 11:50.115 --> 11:58.963 [SPEAKER_00]: But then you have another narration, where the messenger of Allah Almighty was said, I'm said, you should go and ta-da ar-aikum wa l-uma. 12:01.586 --> 12:02.227 [SPEAKER_00]: I can see it. 12:03.479 --> 12:12.285 [SPEAKER_00]: that there will come a time that the Umam, the nations will gather against you, the way that the patrons gather at a table to feast. 12:13.685 --> 12:15.226 [SPEAKER_00]: By the way, that's an incredible visual. 12:16.667 --> 12:19.829 [SPEAKER_00]: I can't think of a time that it's been more vivid than now. 12:21.851 --> 12:30.376 [SPEAKER_00]: When you listen to the powers that be speak about razza as a real estate property, 12:31.967 --> 12:35.950 [SPEAKER_00]: and the 50 plus Muslim nations are absolutely worthless. 12:37.712 --> 12:40.294 [SPEAKER_00]: Can't lift a finger for our brothers and sisters in Rasza. 12:40.594 --> 12:41.695 [SPEAKER_00]: Well, La Hayat's pathetic. 12:43.217 --> 12:48.521 [SPEAKER_00]: And the people of Rasza, when you listen to their complaint, they're not complaining about their enemy, they're complaining about their brothers. 12:48.841 --> 12:52.945 [SPEAKER_00]: May Allah Azzaajad forgive us for our shortcomings in regards to them. 12:53.585 --> 12:57.789 [SPEAKER_00]: And exclude us from their du'a, against the Umma that has abandoned them. 12:59.430 --> 13:00.011 [SPEAKER_00]: It's pathetic. 13:01.434 --> 13:05.475 [SPEAKER_00]: People can talk about feasting on the best of this Oma. 13:06.795 --> 13:12.957 [SPEAKER_00]: Can speak about Resa like real estate and completely ignore the existence of the people? 13:14.997 --> 13:16.957 [SPEAKER_00]: And we sit there as 2 billion in watch? 13:18.718 --> 13:18.938 [SPEAKER_00]: What? 13:20.518 --> 13:21.779 [SPEAKER_00]: It's so strange. 13:22.939 --> 13:26.380 [SPEAKER_00]: How can 2 billion people not come to the aid of 2 million people? 13:26.500 --> 13:27.680 [SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't make sense. 13:28.862 --> 13:32.364 [SPEAKER_00]: All of these nations around can't move, it doesn't make sense. 13:34.005 --> 13:35.585 [SPEAKER_00]: But now the Hadith makes sense. 13:36.906 --> 13:52.014 [SPEAKER_00]: But there will come a time that the Umam and Subhanallah, there are so many subtleties in this Hadith, the fact that the messenger of Allah, so I am used to the word Umam, one of my teachers in Hadith, he said, Subhanallah, that there is a ishara, there is a sign that they are more united than you are. 13:53.815 --> 13:56.136 [SPEAKER_00]: They are acting like an umma, you are not. 13:57.588 --> 13:58.969 [SPEAKER_00]: And we can see this with our enemies. 13:59.269 --> 14:00.450 [SPEAKER_00]: They act more united. 14:01.010 --> 14:04.753 [SPEAKER_00]: By the way, you think that they are united with Qulubahumshatta. 14:05.573 --> 14:06.274 [SPEAKER_00]: They hate each other. 14:07.214 --> 14:10.156 [SPEAKER_00]: But they know how to gather on the basis of mutual interest. 14:10.176 --> 14:10.657 [SPEAKER_00]: We can't do that. 14:10.677 --> 14:20.183 [SPEAKER_00]: We'd like that Muhammad al-Sallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallallall 14:21.118 --> 14:23.299 [SPEAKER_00]: They, on the other hand, they act like an umma. 14:23.799 --> 14:25.579 [SPEAKER_00]: They act like umma, like nations. 14:26.120 --> 14:29.361 [SPEAKER_00]: They gather around you, like patrons at a table. 14:29.641 --> 14:30.581 [SPEAKER_00]: They feast on you. 14:32.562 --> 14:33.382 [SPEAKER_00]: Yadal sur Allah. 14:34.262 --> 14:36.123 [SPEAKER_00]: Is it because we are kiddla? 14:36.363 --> 14:38.323 [SPEAKER_00]: Is it because we are less a number? 14:38.924 --> 14:42.024 [SPEAKER_00]: No, you are many in number that day. 14:42.565 --> 14:43.625 [SPEAKER_00]: But you are like what? 14:43.645 --> 14:47.326 [SPEAKER_00]: Al-Lusatah say, foam, the foam of the sea. 14:50.540 --> 15:02.527 [SPEAKER_00]: On the one hand, he praises our numbers sallallahu'aihi wa sallam, but here the messenger of Allah sallallahu'aihi wa sallam said, your numbers mean nothing, because you are like the foam of the sea. 15:04.589 --> 15:05.629 [SPEAKER_00]: Kelwotha is safe. 15:08.791 --> 15:09.051 [SPEAKER_00]: Why? 15:09.972 --> 15:13.594 [SPEAKER_00]: And this is where I want to take us to once again, the spiritual condition. 15:14.223 --> 15:16.966 [SPEAKER_00]: The problem is not the numbers. 15:17.447 --> 15:20.110 [SPEAKER_00]: In fact, the numbers should be a good thing. 15:20.170 --> 15:23.133 [SPEAKER_00]: The problem is that you're not using the numbers. 15:23.314 --> 15:29.120 [SPEAKER_00]: The problem is the condition that exists beneath the numbers, not the condition of the numbers themselves. 15:30.187 --> 15:54.958 [SPEAKER_00]: The messenger of Allah-Sallallahu alayhi wa-Sallallahu alayhi wa-Sallallahu alayhi wa-Sallallallahu alayhi wa-Sallallallahu alayhi wa-Sallallahu alayhi wa-Sallallahu alayhi wa-Sallallahu alayhi wa-Sallallahu alayhi wa-Sallallahu alayhi wa-Sallallahu alayhi wa-Sallallahu alayhi wa-Sallallahu alayhi wa-Sallallahu alayhi wa-Sallallahu alayhi wa-Sallallahu alayhi wa-Sallallahu alayhi wa-Sallallahu alayhi wa-Sallallahu alayhi wa-Sallallahu alayhi wa-Sallallahu alayhi wa-Sallallahu alayhi wa-Sallallahu alayhi wa-Sallallahu alayhi wa- 15:57.049 --> 16:01.291 [SPEAKER_00]: This is probably how these talks just as much about the other side as it does us. 16:02.752 --> 16:03.792 [SPEAKER_00]: They don't fear you anymore. 16:04.852 --> 16:06.213 [SPEAKER_00]: They don't respect you anymore. 16:06.973 --> 16:08.414 [SPEAKER_00]: They denigrate you in the open. 16:08.954 --> 16:10.235 [SPEAKER_00]: They degrade you in the open. 16:11.736 --> 16:13.576 [SPEAKER_00]: There's no Mahabha anymore for this Umma. 16:14.637 --> 16:16.498 [SPEAKER_00]: The Muslims don't mean anything. 16:17.878 --> 16:18.699 [SPEAKER_00]: So it's first them. 16:19.759 --> 16:25.582 [SPEAKER_00]: But then the Prophet ﷺ said in about you, that what is put in your hearts is 16:27.326 --> 16:28.787 [SPEAKER_00]: This is the condition, al-Wahn. 16:30.769 --> 16:38.856 [SPEAKER_00]: Y'ar al-Sallallahu al-Wahn, the Prophet-Sallallahu al-Lahn, he was on him side, Hubbed dunya, Waqarahiyatul-Maut. 16:40.498 --> 16:44.982 [SPEAKER_00]: The excessive love of this world and the excessive hatred of death. 16:46.403 --> 16:48.045 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not trying to depress you with the talk. 16:48.085 --> 16:51.888 [SPEAKER_00]: I know you guys are probably like last night, why is he coming to beat up on Durban? 16:53.530 --> 16:53.870 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not. 16:55.190 --> 16:57.270 [SPEAKER_00]: I want to make a broader point-vid in the lying town. 16:57.671 --> 16:58.871 [SPEAKER_00]: It's a very important point. 17:00.291 --> 17:01.851 [SPEAKER_00]: Al-Wahn, the quality. 17:02.892 --> 17:06.052 [SPEAKER_00]: It's the spiritual part here that the Prophet's license is talking about. 17:06.092 --> 17:07.152 [SPEAKER_00]: What's at the inner core? 17:07.532 --> 17:09.593 [SPEAKER_00]: What's in your heart as an individual? 17:10.413 --> 17:11.933 [SPEAKER_00]: What's in your heart as an umma? 17:12.593 --> 17:13.934 [SPEAKER_00]: This is a matter of the heart. 17:14.014 --> 17:15.414 [SPEAKER_00]: This is a matter of the ahira. 17:15.434 --> 17:20.075 [SPEAKER_00]: This is a spiritual matter before it's a physical matter, before it's a material matter. 17:20.488 --> 17:24.711 [SPEAKER_00]: It's about what's in here at Takoha Hona Piety is in the heart. 17:25.031 --> 17:26.132 [SPEAKER_00]: It's not in your numbers. 17:26.412 --> 17:27.553 [SPEAKER_00]: It's not in your machinery. 17:27.773 --> 17:28.774 [SPEAKER_00]: It's not in your money. 17:29.154 --> 17:30.255 [SPEAKER_00]: It's not in your outcomes. 17:30.656 --> 17:31.736 [SPEAKER_00]: It's a matter of the heart. 17:32.137 --> 17:32.797 [SPEAKER_00]: What's here? 17:33.478 --> 17:38.962 [SPEAKER_00]: What is the symptom actually telling you about the spiritual disease? 17:40.608 --> 17:43.130 [SPEAKER_00]: There's a narration from Hassan and Bosti Rahimullah Tahanah. 17:43.570 --> 17:48.715 [SPEAKER_00]: It's mentioned as a rewaya to the Prophet ﷺ, but the chain is not established. 17:49.335 --> 17:51.697 [SPEAKER_00]: The meaning, however, is Hubba dunya. 17:52.458 --> 17:53.539 [SPEAKER_00]: What else could he have for ya? 17:54.960 --> 17:57.982 [SPEAKER_00]: The love of this world is at the root cause of every single sin. 17:59.604 --> 18:06.509 [SPEAKER_00]: Every sin and every sinful quality and every sinful disease comes back down to loving the world too much. 18:07.330 --> 18:08.451 [SPEAKER_00]: You love the world too much. 18:08.511 --> 18:09.392 [SPEAKER_00]: That's why you prefer. 18:09.946 --> 18:13.028 [SPEAKER_00]: a temporary pleasure over eternal prosperity. 18:13.448 --> 18:14.589 [SPEAKER_00]: You love the world too much. 18:14.669 --> 18:17.691 [SPEAKER_00]: That's why you will disobey a loss of Hannah and Tata and obey your enough. 18:17.812 --> 18:18.872 [SPEAKER_00]: You love the world too much. 18:18.932 --> 18:20.413 [SPEAKER_00]: That's why you can't resist the craving. 18:20.894 --> 18:21.974 [SPEAKER_00]: You love the world too much. 18:22.034 --> 18:28.619 [SPEAKER_00]: That's why you compromise on your principles because something is being dangled over you, like the carrot of this world. 18:28.959 --> 18:30.080 [SPEAKER_00]: You love the world too much. 18:30.140 --> 18:31.141 [SPEAKER_00]: You love the world too much. 18:31.161 --> 18:32.142 [SPEAKER_00]: You love the world too much. 18:32.562 --> 18:38.306 [SPEAKER_00]: Every single sin and every single poison, every single quality, somehow ties back to Hibbedunia. 18:39.733 --> 18:41.014 [SPEAKER_00]: loving this world too much. 18:41.895 --> 18:47.879 [SPEAKER_00]: Being too attached to the material, therefore you will sacrifice what you can't see for what you can see. 18:48.299 --> 18:57.826 [SPEAKER_00]: And you will sacrifice for what is the laid gratification, even if it's catering what up caught, better and everlasting, for what is immediate and immediately pleasing. 18:58.967 --> 19:00.248 [SPEAKER_00]: You'll sacrifice these things. 19:01.369 --> 19:06.573 [SPEAKER_00]: That is the psychology of sin, the psychology of every bad quality. 19:06.693 --> 19:07.313 [SPEAKER_00]: Hope the dunya, 19:10.453 --> 19:12.794 [SPEAKER_00]: Let's peel the layers and shall let's tie a little bit more here. 19:14.474 --> 19:17.055 [SPEAKER_00]: Allah Azzaajad mentions and so it's Adiyam Iran. 19:18.075 --> 19:25.798 [SPEAKER_00]: Waqim min nabi'in qatala, how many prophets before Fawq and had rippi yuna kathiyah had many righteous ones with him? 19:26.758 --> 19:33.500 [SPEAKER_00]: And Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'ala then says three things about this person or about this group of people that go forth in righteousness. 19:34.881 --> 19:36.141 [SPEAKER_00]: Allah Subhanahu Wa'hanu. 19:37.345 --> 19:41.306 [SPEAKER_00]: same root word, the same word, in fact, Fama Wahanu, but it's a verb. 19:42.186 --> 19:44.346 [SPEAKER_00]: They did not collapse. 19:45.487 --> 19:47.667 [SPEAKER_00]: Wahanu, Wahanu, the same quality. 19:48.427 --> 19:50.128 [SPEAKER_00]: They did not collapse. 19:50.488 --> 19:52.268 [SPEAKER_00]: They did not lose morale. 19:53.648 --> 19:54.428 [SPEAKER_00]: That's the first thing. 19:55.149 --> 19:56.529 [SPEAKER_00]: Wama, Wahanu, full. 19:57.689 --> 20:02.110 [SPEAKER_00]: And so they physically did not weaken in the fight. 20:08.591 --> 20:09.892 [SPEAKER_00]: I want you to follow the process. 20:10.753 --> 20:15.276 [SPEAKER_00]: Alas, as psychologically, Malwahanu, they didn't lose resolve, they didn't lose morale. 20:15.936 --> 20:18.138 [SPEAKER_00]: Their hearts and their minds were stubborn. 20:18.738 --> 20:21.660 [SPEAKER_00]: If you want to win a battle, you have to be stubborn. 20:23.301 --> 20:25.643 [SPEAKER_00]: If you want to win a fight, you have to be stubborn. 20:26.183 --> 20:27.905 [SPEAKER_00]: You have to draw from something deeper. 20:28.465 --> 20:30.747 [SPEAKER_00]: Thema Wahanu, this is the determination part. 20:32.127 --> 20:36.571 [SPEAKER_00]: And then Malwahanu, that played out in the physical sense, 20:37.545 --> 20:41.871 [SPEAKER_00]: They did not weaken, Nima Al-Sabahum, without which struck them. 20:41.951 --> 20:42.792 [SPEAKER_00]: So they got hurt. 20:43.153 --> 20:53.027 [SPEAKER_00]: They took some bruises and they took some wounds along the way, but they didn't stop going forward because Mahwahano, Wamastakano, and they never surrendered. 20:54.454 --> 20:58.717 [SPEAKER_00]: They never actually submitted their affair to the one that was in front of them. 20:59.177 --> 21:06.521 [SPEAKER_00]: Instead, they continued to be connected to the one that had inspired them, that had created them, that had commanded them in the first place. 21:06.601 --> 21:08.322 [SPEAKER_00]: They went back to Allah, Subhanu t-taw. 21:08.342 --> 21:10.904 [SPEAKER_00]: They were drawing from a deeper spiritual resolve. 21:11.424 --> 21:17.187 [SPEAKER_00]: The Prophet Sallam says, the condition of the Umma becomes a heart disease called one. 21:19.829 --> 21:21.530 [SPEAKER_00]: We developed this condition. 21:22.692 --> 21:30.274 [SPEAKER_00]: And he boiled it down, saw Allah, and he was sent him to Hebbedunya, Waqarahiyatul-Mote, loving the world to much and hating death to much. 21:31.614 --> 21:42.297 [SPEAKER_00]: If you were to draw a diagram, and you were to mention, every symptom of these two diseases, or two halves of the same disease. 21:43.858 --> 21:44.118 [SPEAKER_00]: All right? 21:45.258 --> 21:51.280 [SPEAKER_00]: Every virtue has two sides of the coin, and every disease has two sides 21:53.989 --> 21:55.390 [SPEAKER_00]: You have no idea what I'm talking about. 21:55.410 --> 21:56.051 [SPEAKER_00]: Let me explain that. 21:57.051 --> 21:59.093 [SPEAKER_00]: Every virtue is two sides of the same coin. 21:59.854 --> 22:06.599 [SPEAKER_00]: For example, Subur and Shukur, patience and gratitude are two sides of the same coin. 22:07.220 --> 22:07.480 [SPEAKER_00]: How? 22:08.280 --> 22:10.602 [SPEAKER_00]: In Mammul-Ghazairahim Allah Tata explains this beautifully. 22:11.043 --> 22:14.926 [SPEAKER_00]: Subur, patience is gratitude in hard times. 22:17.208 --> 22:22.011 [SPEAKER_00]: Gratitude is patience in easy times. 22:23.027 --> 22:34.392 [SPEAKER_00]: how, suburb, patience is actually just gratitude in hard times, meaning a lot of results take something from you and you say, at least I still have this. 22:35.692 --> 22:38.734 [SPEAKER_00]: So you're actually being grateful when you're being patient in hard times. 22:39.774 --> 22:41.275 [SPEAKER_00]: The other side of that coin, 22:42.744 --> 22:46.427 [SPEAKER_00]: Gratitude is actually patience in times of ease. 22:46.547 --> 22:46.767 [SPEAKER_00]: Why? 22:46.847 --> 22:52.331 [SPEAKER_00]: Because you have Elhamdulillah, or Blahalamin, and your patience with that, which you still don't have. 22:52.411 --> 23:04.639 [SPEAKER_00]: Because we know that the reason why we become ungrateful, low orty of N'ad and wad in Indahab, wad in Indahab, if the son of Adam is given a valley of gold, he says, I think I could turn that valley of gold into two valleys of gold. 23:06.460 --> 23:09.122 [SPEAKER_00]: And if he gets two, I think I could turn the two into three. 23:10.149 --> 23:15.211 [SPEAKER_00]: and he's not satisfied except with dirt in the mouth, the pursuit of the world never actually stops. 23:15.971 --> 23:21.853 [SPEAKER_00]: Likewise, a lot of blesses you, you get that car that you wanted, you get that house that you wanted, but then you go visit your friend's house. 23:24.533 --> 23:27.434 [SPEAKER_00]: And you become impatient with taking the next step. 23:28.775 --> 23:34.256 [SPEAKER_00]: So gratitude is actually just patience in times of ease. 23:35.737 --> 23:38.678 [SPEAKER_00]: Patience is actually just gratitude in times of hardship. 23:38.878 --> 23:39.578 [SPEAKER_00]: Does this make sense? 23:42.366 --> 23:47.550 [SPEAKER_00]: like wise with vice, vice-like virtue, two sides of the same coin. 23:48.251 --> 23:55.356 [SPEAKER_00]: What's the difference at the manifestation level between HUBBA DUNIRA, WAKARAHIA, to the note? 23:56.877 --> 23:59.519 [SPEAKER_00]: The love of this world and the hatred of death. 24:00.320 --> 24:01.161 [SPEAKER_00]: What's the difference? 24:01.321 --> 24:03.883 [SPEAKER_00]: They both are described by the same condition. 24:04.123 --> 24:05.244 [SPEAKER_00]: The coin is one. 24:05.984 --> 24:06.865 [SPEAKER_00]: The coin is one. 24:08.422 --> 24:12.226 [SPEAKER_00]: a breakdown of resolve, psychological defeat, weakness of the heart. 24:12.446 --> 24:13.066 [SPEAKER_00]: That's the coin. 24:13.106 --> 24:14.187 [SPEAKER_00]: The coin is the word one. 24:15.288 --> 24:19.252 [SPEAKER_00]: The two sides of the coin are Hubbedunia, Wakaraahia to the note. 24:20.553 --> 24:23.176 [SPEAKER_00]: Hubbedunia is when you're very comfortable. 24:23.756 --> 24:24.597 [SPEAKER_00]: You love the world. 24:25.998 --> 24:26.719 [SPEAKER_00]: You're comfortable. 24:27.540 --> 24:28.681 [SPEAKER_00]: And so you're complacent. 24:29.922 --> 24:30.623 [SPEAKER_00]: And therefore, 24:31.537 --> 24:37.400 [SPEAKER_00]: When someone calls you to voluntarily relinquish your place of comfort, you go, why would I do that? 24:37.500 --> 24:38.840 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm comfortable with Hamdiri La. 24:39.621 --> 24:40.421 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm good right here. 24:41.441 --> 24:42.102 [SPEAKER_00]: Life is good. 24:42.942 --> 24:43.642 [SPEAKER_00]: Family is good. 24:43.782 --> 24:44.483 [SPEAKER_00]: The money is good. 24:45.603 --> 24:50.926 [SPEAKER_00]: Why would I step out of my comfort zone and put myself in the line of fire? 24:52.766 --> 24:55.187 [SPEAKER_00]: At the end of the day, that's Gaza. 24:57.188 --> 24:58.149 [SPEAKER_00]: That's somewhere else. 25:00.228 --> 25:03.570 [SPEAKER_00]: At the end of the day, that's somebody else that's eating it right now. 25:03.810 --> 25:05.491 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't need to put myself in that. 25:05.511 --> 25:06.812 [SPEAKER_00]: And how did I not uncomfortable? 25:06.872 --> 25:08.073 [SPEAKER_00]: I'll just pray my Salah. 25:09.414 --> 25:10.374 [SPEAKER_00]: I'll do my Duran. 25:11.575 --> 25:12.896 [SPEAKER_00]: I'll take my vacations. 25:14.217 --> 25:17.959 [SPEAKER_00]: I'll be a good Muslim at the same time. 25:18.760 --> 25:21.721 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't need to put myself in these uncomfortable situations. 25:21.882 --> 25:22.502 [SPEAKER_00]: Uncomfortable. 25:22.802 --> 25:23.422 [SPEAKER_00]: Habbedunia. 25:25.584 --> 25:27.345 [SPEAKER_00]: The spiritual condition. 25:28.136 --> 25:29.357 [SPEAKER_00]: as you love the world too much. 25:29.557 --> 25:42.268 [SPEAKER_00]: Therefore, HUBBED DUNIA refers to, like if you could think of a person, we're talking about wanting to be a determined omma, a person that is on a racetrack, HUBBED DUNIA is run, no, I'm okay. 25:42.789 --> 25:43.429 [SPEAKER_00]: Just stay right here. 25:45.211 --> 25:45.451 [SPEAKER_00]: All right? 25:45.831 --> 25:52.757 [SPEAKER_00]: It's the inability to move forward and to exert yourself because you're too comfortable because you love the world too much. 25:53.898 --> 25:55.079 [SPEAKER_00]: So what happened in Medina, right? 25:56.969 --> 26:06.095 [SPEAKER_00]: They were told to go forth, Fisabi de la, if that cultum, and this bed is great, the garden is great, it's hot if we go out right now. 26:06.776 --> 26:13.600 [SPEAKER_00]: Things are settling down in Medina, and when Oara, we just got out of Handa, can the whole ordeal of being in this genocide? 26:14.501 --> 26:18.083 [SPEAKER_00]: Why am I going to leave this comfort, right? 26:18.203 --> 26:21.946 [SPEAKER_00]: Let me just stick to what I'm comfortable with, complacence. 26:26.102 --> 26:32.047 [SPEAKER_00]: The hatred of death is when you retreat in the face of fear. 26:34.448 --> 26:39.592 [SPEAKER_00]: So if you're thinking about a person that's running, how bad dunya is, I don't want to run in the first place. 26:40.873 --> 26:54.404 [SPEAKER_00]: Karahia to the note is that when push comes to shove, when you find yourself in the face of a tyrant, when you find yourself in the jaws of evil, when you find yourself and there is a threat that's been posed to you, 26:56.690 --> 26:57.451 [SPEAKER_00]: because you fear death. 26:59.212 --> 27:03.436 [SPEAKER_00]: So, Hubba Dunya refers to the inability to move forward. 27:04.457 --> 27:13.105 [SPEAKER_00]: Karahiyatul-Mot means the quickness to retreat, but they come from the same coin of al-Wan, the weak resolve. 27:14.687 --> 27:22.214 [SPEAKER_00]: Every single output speaks to and input, the messenger of al-Laslai-Sanam was more concerned with this. 27:23.075 --> 27:26.816 [SPEAKER_00]: He was more concerned with the internal condition, meaning what? 27:28.157 --> 27:50.824 [SPEAKER_00]: If a person finds themselves in a situation where they don't speak the truth, or they don't spend feesabitullah, or their dawah is weak, or they water down the religion, seeking down, seeking someone else's validation, or all of these things which speak to a weakness, 27:54.003 --> 27:56.364 [SPEAKER_00]: That doesn't force them to relinquish comfort. 27:56.845 --> 27:58.466 [SPEAKER_00]: It goes back down to Habedunia. 27:58.506 --> 27:59.506 [SPEAKER_00]: You love the world too much. 27:59.907 --> 28:01.368 [SPEAKER_00]: You love the people of the world too much. 28:01.488 --> 28:02.768 [SPEAKER_00]: You like your comfort too much. 28:02.868 --> 28:09.873 [SPEAKER_00]: And so you will craft out a space of this religion to the extent that it does not chip away at your comforts. 28:11.894 --> 28:14.155 [SPEAKER_00]: That's religion in the 21st century, by the way. 28:16.097 --> 28:16.797 [SPEAKER_00]: It's panellots. 28:16.877 --> 28:19.338 [SPEAKER_00]: It was an article that I read a long time ago. 28:20.379 --> 28:23.301 [SPEAKER_00]: Written by a rabbi called the Allure of Spiritual Narcissism. 28:24.075 --> 28:29.077 [SPEAKER_00]: This is one of the most powerful articles I've ever read, spiritual narcissism, or narcissistic spirituality. 28:29.557 --> 28:31.237 [SPEAKER_00]: What is narcissistic spirituality? 28:32.398 --> 28:36.799 [SPEAKER_00]: I will worship and I will engage religion to the point that it makes me feel good. 28:38.440 --> 28:43.401 [SPEAKER_00]: It gives me my therapy, it's my yoga session, it's my nice, it's my self-care. 28:45.182 --> 28:46.242 [SPEAKER_00]: That's what religion is to you. 28:47.303 --> 28:48.063 [SPEAKER_00]: Carvada space. 28:49.168 --> 28:53.689 [SPEAKER_00]: to where I can still pursue everything from a dunya we perspective, from a worldly perspective. 28:53.729 --> 29:02.932 [SPEAKER_00]: My goals, my priorities, my pursuits are all worldly, but religion is important too, but only to the extent that it does not compromise my worldly pursuits. 29:03.532 --> 29:05.612 [SPEAKER_00]: That's the condition of the Prophet's life I'm talking about. 29:06.733 --> 29:11.554 [SPEAKER_00]: So you wonder why you find yourself in a situation of 2 billion, a 2 billion strong Oma? 29:13.134 --> 29:15.475 [SPEAKER_00]: But we have this condition of what? 29:16.995 --> 29:22.837 [SPEAKER_00]: Because one point, something, something, something billion of the Umma is saying, I'm good where I'm at. 29:24.658 --> 29:25.578 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't want any trouble. 29:27.299 --> 29:31.641 [SPEAKER_00]: And is that not the message that the tyrants seek to send? 29:33.101 --> 29:33.562 [SPEAKER_00]: That look? 29:34.982 --> 29:36.263 [SPEAKER_00]: You don't want to end up in trouble. 29:37.243 --> 29:40.244 [SPEAKER_00]: So just shh, prayer, salah, and be quiet. 29:45.190 --> 29:47.871 [SPEAKER_00]: We'll give you your nice little masala in here in the mall. 29:49.492 --> 29:55.695 [SPEAKER_00]: You can come do your halal tourism, but don't you dare say a word about your umma, quiet. 29:57.876 --> 30:05.000 [SPEAKER_00]: Stay calm, sedated, like a little puppy, and all of you, the big chunk of the umma, stay here. 30:06.160 --> 30:07.161 [SPEAKER_00]: And you won't get any trouble. 30:08.241 --> 30:08.982 [SPEAKER_00]: Isn't that a problem? 30:15.241 --> 30:16.662 [SPEAKER_00]: You're standing in front of a tyrant. 30:18.643 --> 30:20.785 [SPEAKER_00]: Kedi met who have kind of disulfon and jarred. 30:20.845 --> 30:22.926 [SPEAKER_00]: They're in a lot of spoke about this, had these very beautifully. 30:23.006 --> 30:27.169 [SPEAKER_00]: On the Prophet's lines, I'm said, in an hour-longed G-hat, Kedi met who have kind of disulfon and jarred. 30:27.510 --> 30:32.293 [SPEAKER_00]: The greatest G-hat is speaking a word of truth in the face of a tyrant. 30:33.294 --> 30:40.679 [SPEAKER_00]: Now you might think to yourself, well, what about like, buddh, and people that were actually killed, what is it? 30:41.899 --> 30:45.382 [SPEAKER_00]: And the scholar's common on this Hadith in a rich way, to rich Hadith. 30:46.343 --> 31:07.320 [SPEAKER_00]: The idea is that when that person stands in front of the throne, of a man who can easily kill him without consequence, and he still speaks the truth, he was not intimidated by the power of the throne or by the threat of death, because he feared more a loss of Hanoatana and the threat of the afterlife if he did not stand on his conviction. 31:09.838 --> 31:15.823 [SPEAKER_00]: You see in the heat of battle, some of the scholars talked about the pace, and the heat of battle, the swords fly and things go very quick. 31:16.023 --> 31:28.794 [SPEAKER_00]: But when you're standing in front of a throne, and the tyrant seeks to intimidate you, and you don't retreats, that means that you've already conquered whatever fear that tyrant seeks to instill inside of you. 31:30.035 --> 31:31.717 [SPEAKER_00]: Conquer your comfort, conquer your fear.
