[SPEAKER_01]: Because when you ask a lot to add a year establishing so many pillars of faith, number one his existence, you don't ask someone who doesn't exist, you don't ask one who doesn't understand, you don't ask, so if he's like a law of nature, as the spinos in God or the Einsteinian God, like a law of nature, a cosmic law of nature, not a personal God you can speak to, so that they're God, it's not a God.

[SPEAKER_01]: has no capacity of life, speech, hearing, and understanding. [SPEAKER_01]: And all the new ages, they're sort of confused when they talk about the universe. [SPEAKER_01]: Talk about the universe as a placeholder for God. [SPEAKER_01]: To develop an allergy for God, really have an allergy to the Christian God.

[SPEAKER_01]: To be truthful. [SPEAKER_01]: You have to be more accurate. [SPEAKER_01]: You have an allergy to the Christian God, to the Christian conception of God. [SPEAKER_01]: That's what you're allergic to. [SPEAKER_01]: to the biblical God, which is basically a mythical book that has no history to it, yeah, it says its history, there may be some artifacts indicating, I can write a fiction book relying on artifacts, too.

[SPEAKER_01]: So they don't really trust their book. [SPEAKER_01]: If you're if you're smart, you don't base your life and your governments and your laws and everything on a book that you don't even know is true or not. [SPEAKER_01]: So I can't blame their intelligent people for rejecting the Bible, but I can blame them for what they think they replace it with, which is probably far worse.

[SPEAKER_01]: So a little bit of so, so because they plucked out the things that were harmful, any old religion with laws that God revealed that were either altered by man or abrogated by God. [SPEAKER_01]: in the next with the next messenger is bad for humans, that's what we can call bad religion. [SPEAKER_01]: It's bad for humans.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to lead to their harm. [SPEAKER_01]: That's why God abrogated them. [SPEAKER_01]: Or it's that man had altered those laws in the first place. [SPEAKER_01]: Secondly, the Christian religion did have things in it that were very good and true. [SPEAKER_01]: Now, when the modernists came and the Renaissance people came, they threw it all out.

[SPEAKER_01]: So they experienced some benefit and they opened a door to some harm. [SPEAKER_01]: And that's why there's a whole new set of benefit harm now. [SPEAKER_01]: So there was benefit in harm in the Christian era. [SPEAKER_01]: And now there's like the almost the opposite benefit in harm in the modern era.

[SPEAKER_01]: But a lot out of love for us to ask him because we're affirming that God is living, that God hears us, that it God is compassionate, that God is in control, because deism is that God is not in control, it's one of the meanings of many ayats in the Quran, that negate this, that he is in control of this world, because the deistic belief is that Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ad, God created the earth, [SPEAKER_01]: like a clock maker click creates a clock.

[SPEAKER_01]: He spends it and then he lets it go. [SPEAKER_01]: And now the clock is moving by itself and God's out of the picture. [SPEAKER_01]: So the founding fathers, when you notice that God's all over the documents, but he's not in the loss, right? [SPEAKER_01]: It's because they believed, yeah, there is God.

[SPEAKER_01]: He made us, he made the whole earth. [SPEAKER_01]: And there is a system and there's a law of nature and all that state of nature and all that, but [SPEAKER_01]: He left it to us to figure stuff out, right? [SPEAKER_01]: So we say, that's not the case at all. [SPEAKER_01]: So when you're making dua, whenever you're praying and asking for something, you're affirming that a laws in control.

[SPEAKER_01]: You're affirming his generosity. [SPEAKER_01]: His control, his power, his hearing, his seeing, his knowledge, his existence. [SPEAKER_01]: And that's why Allah loves to be asked. [SPEAKER_01]: So much so that if a person says, I'm good, [SPEAKER_01]: That's nice for me and you. [SPEAKER_01]: So if I say, out of what would you like to eat?

[SPEAKER_01]: And what does the plate think to say, I don't understand enough? [SPEAKER_01]: I'm good. [SPEAKER_01]: Everything's, whatever you bring me, it's fun, right? [SPEAKER_01]: And nothing, even. [SPEAKER_01]: Don't even bother yourself. [SPEAKER_01]: In fact, I'll do something for you. [SPEAKER_01]: That's our whole look towards one another.

[SPEAKER_01]: Even when all Egyptians, when we're young, we're going to someone's house, eat something before you go to the house. [SPEAKER_01]: So you don't go too hungry and then you're like eating all the food and you act in crazy, right? [SPEAKER_01]: And then you say, don't ever look up and down at the spread back on the old days when someone invited you to the house, they put the food on the kitchen table and we sat around and eat, right?

[SPEAKER_01]: Now it's all but face. [SPEAKER_01]: Now it's all catered anyway, right? [SPEAKER_01]: And they'll tell you who they catered it from, right? [SPEAKER_01]: It's just like it's a different era that we live in, but in the old days, [SPEAKER_01]: You had an invitation in the house, the mom cooked, right?

[SPEAKER_01]: Sometimes the other mom came, if they were really good friends, the other mom came and cooked or bought something with them, then you put the food on the table and you ate. [SPEAKER_01]: But you're taught at Deb. [SPEAKER_01]: Don't sit there looking. [SPEAKER_00]: What's there? [SPEAKER_00]: What's next?

[SPEAKER_00]: Right? [SPEAKER_01]: No. [SPEAKER_01]: Act like you're not hungry and you're not interested. [SPEAKER_01]: And whatever gets put in the plate, you finish it. [SPEAKER_01]: Even if you don't like it, you eat it. [SPEAKER_01]: These are the adab of being a guest. [SPEAKER_01]: So with humans, we love this idea that you don't ask.

[SPEAKER_01]: And a lot of praises in the Qur'an, the people who have F, they don't ask. [SPEAKER_01]: Al-Ladina, Lai'as, Aluna, Nasa, El Haifa. [SPEAKER_01]: They don't ask out of dignity. [SPEAKER_01]: They're poor, they need, but they don't ask. [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, it's a funny joke one time. [SPEAKER_01]: It's actually a true story that there was a beggar always sitting there outside, [SPEAKER_01]: Karawien and Morocco and the beggar, the Quran teacher, the fucky, the scholar, he never used to give him because a scholar believed pen handling is wrong.

[SPEAKER_01]: You have two arms, two legs, two eyes, go and work. [SPEAKER_01]: One eyes enough to work, right? [SPEAKER_01]: And he didn't give him. [SPEAKER_01]: So this is pen handling, pen handling is different than being poor, right? [SPEAKER_01]: Pen handling is taking [SPEAKER_01]: So the beggar then said, I'm going to embarrass him this time.

[SPEAKER_01]: So he learns an a of the Quran about giving. [SPEAKER_01]: So as the Sheikh came out, he says, [SPEAKER_01]: So the Sheikh looked at him and he said, oh, I think I saw them there, walking with the people who don't ask out of dignity. [SPEAKER_01]: Right, I told him that Abu Maladina Lais and I didn't necessarily have it, right?

[SPEAKER_01]: But Allah, Allah, is the opposite. [SPEAKER_01]: He loves for us to ask. [SPEAKER_01]: And if and for us now, let's not take the level that you're gonna ask between us humans, if you're gonna ask, ask something reasonable. [SPEAKER_01]: right? [SPEAKER_01]: That means if you're going to ask me for a loan you're building in an extension to your house or you're getting married or you're having a dowry or whatever, if you're going to come and ask and you're going to patch it together as a loan and don't come and ask me 50k.

[SPEAKER_01]: You're just like over the top, right? [SPEAKER_01]: But if you ask me 5k and him 5k and him 10k and him 2k, then that's reasonable. [SPEAKER_01]: Now I'm happy, I'm happy to help you with 2K. [SPEAKER_01]: I'm happy, I'm happy with 5K and everyone could do that. [SPEAKER_01]: A lot of people could do that number.

[SPEAKER_01]: Don't come and ask 50K. [SPEAKER_01]: I need the dowry, I need the furniture, I need the wedding, I need the QLED TV, and I need the honeymoon. [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, what do you think I am here, right? [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, if I think I'm like an espresso machine, I'm just going to give it whatever, even if somebody had, it does not healthy.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's not healthy being debt to one person $100,000, right? [SPEAKER_01]: How do you even cross pass with the guy again? [SPEAKER_01]: And then the chances of you not paying it back is very high. [SPEAKER_01]: The chances of if you screwed up and after dividing that loan into 20 people or 10 people or 7 people, it's a little dent in each person if you screw up and you can't pay back the loan.

[SPEAKER_01]: So we love that if you do ask, ask it, because you really need it, and make it reasonable. [SPEAKER_01]: But Allah doesn't like this. [SPEAKER_01]: Allah does not like for you to only ask when you need something. [SPEAKER_01]: Look at the last creation. [SPEAKER_01]: Why don't you want it?

[SPEAKER_01]: Isn't Allah have a beautiful creation? [SPEAKER_01]: And certain things Allah told you to want such as marriage you should want. [SPEAKER_01]: Expansion this. [SPEAKER_01]: If you're going to use it for the right reason, and not be corrupted by it. [SPEAKER_01]: Expans in leadership. [SPEAKER_01]: John Aleyman, more kids, more kids in these more money.

[SPEAKER_01]: There's a head-death on this, but I will ask you dignity, honor, and there's no honor without action. [SPEAKER_01]: If I want to be a dignified man, one of the ways to be dignified is, I have, I'll help him with his expenses, I've helped build a message, I employ 20 people, that's dignity, right?

[SPEAKER_01]: So you need action. [SPEAKER_01]: So we said, oh, and the dot says, and there's no dignity without action, and there's no action without wealth. [SPEAKER_01]: So my Lord poverty doesn't benefit me. [SPEAKER_01]: Doesn't suit me. [SPEAKER_01]: So even asking for wealth, if it's for the right reason.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, for it. [SPEAKER_01]: So you don't have to have a reason. [SPEAKER_01]: And you shouldn't belittle the request. [SPEAKER_01]: I need some money on how much money a raise of $2,000 a year. [SPEAKER_01]: So most you spend on easy-pass in New Jersey and Chicago and these places with the highways, right?

[SPEAKER_01]: You spend two, it's not a joke. [SPEAKER_01]: You can spend $2,000, you're just, if you have family three, four people with a car and they all go and up and down Jersey, you spend $2,000 just in the highways. [SPEAKER_01]: So Allah says, the promise I said of says, if you ask, make your ask big, other you're insulting a lost man with that.

[SPEAKER_01]: You're saying it's difficult, [SPEAKER_01]: So, Tessaluni, for Altikum, now here's the other one, where Tessalfiruni, for Al-Firul-Hakum, this other thing that Allah gives. [SPEAKER_01]: What is the opposite of giving? [SPEAKER_01]: It's for giving, which is you offended. [SPEAKER_01]: God's law.

[SPEAKER_01]: You insulted God's command by committing sins. [SPEAKER_01]: Don't ever imagine, here's a message for all the Shabbab that are involved in YM, MSA, the brothers who are involved in misagid. [SPEAKER_01]: In charities, in knowledge, and you see yourself falling into sins. [SPEAKER_01]: And you say, in my hypocrite, is everything about me false, don't everything these thoughts, but God doesn't love me, don't even think these thoughts.

[SPEAKER_01]: Human being, he falls into sins. [SPEAKER_01]: It's not an excuse, but it's an explanation. [SPEAKER_01]: He always falls into sin. [SPEAKER_01]: But if Allah has put you in the deen, do not think you're falling into sin, means Allah no longer loves you. [SPEAKER_01]: If you stop making Toba, and in your heart, you no longer put your head down and say, what did I just do?

[SPEAKER_01]: Stop, blah, blah, I'll love for give me. [SPEAKER_01]: I don't even know what I just did. [SPEAKER_01]: Why did I do this? [SPEAKER_01]: If that's present, then no, that'll love still loves you. [SPEAKER_01]: And maybe he's forgiven you before you even made Toba. [SPEAKER_01]: It's who inspired you with that idea.

[SPEAKER_01]: Who inspired your heart to turn and say, My Lord, what did I just do? [SPEAKER_01]: Is it's not a good deed? [SPEAKER_01]: Who put it in your heart? [SPEAKER_01]: So Allah forgave you before you even to make forgiveness for yourself. [SPEAKER_01]: It's not forgiveness for yourself. [SPEAKER_01]: If you're involved in the deen, that is a sign Allah loves you.

[SPEAKER_01]: Ask for the dunya. [SPEAKER_00]: Habib, mama, I think it's up to learn Mahindar. [SPEAKER_01]: That's Habib Omar's brother-in-law, but also the son of his Sheikh. [SPEAKER_01]: If you see the picture of the man with thin white turban and a red beard, that's Habib Omar's Sheikh and father-in-law.

[SPEAKER_01]: His brother, you're beautiful talk. [SPEAKER_01]: It just basically reminding of something that we all know very well, the dunya laggave to everybody. [SPEAKER_01]: The dunya laggives it sometimes to the one he hates more than one he loves. [SPEAKER_01]: This worldly life, a laggives this worldly life, often times.

[SPEAKER_01]: to what those he hates more than those he loves. [SPEAKER_01]: But the dean, he only gives it to those he loves. [SPEAKER_01]: So if you're involved in the dean in any capacity, dean is vast. [SPEAKER_01]: Charitable work is dean, knowledge is dean, messured boards is dean, charity boards, and he capacity in the dean.

[SPEAKER_01]: Just caring a lot of love is you. [SPEAKER_01]: fulfill the rights of the beloved by making Talba and don't ever imagine and have a bad opinion of Allah because I fell into sin a lot no longer loves me. [SPEAKER_01]: We don't have that in Islam at all. [SPEAKER_01]: If you stop making Talba, you were stopped repenting, then we have another discussion.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's scary. [SPEAKER_01]: By defaulting into sins is not a prerequisite to [SPEAKER_01]: So every one of us is going to fall into sins. [SPEAKER_01]: But the question is now, the question is now, do you repent from it? [SPEAKER_01]: Do you feel bad from it? [SPEAKER_01]: And the repentance truly, it's an Adam.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's regretting your heart. [SPEAKER_01]: And so the next I says, [SPEAKER_01]: That's the right of the created upon the Creator, and it's a right of love placed over himself, upon himself, because there's no actual rights that anyone has over a lot, absolutely. [SPEAKER_01]: You have rights with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, because he placed those rights there.

[SPEAKER_01]: There's no scale out there that says, if you're a creator, you have to then give your creation. [SPEAKER_01]: No, and let them ask, but a law himself said, I'm your creator, so you ask me. [SPEAKER_01]: So what is our relationship to our Lord that He's given us is our right? [SPEAKER_01]: And is why we exist, we ask Him.

[SPEAKER_01]: Give us and forgive us. [SPEAKER_01]: We ask Him, giving and we ask Him for giving. [SPEAKER_01]: Forgive us. [SPEAKER_01]: What's the opposite now, is that we worship Him alone? [SPEAKER_01]: And we believe that all causes and effects are His alone. [SPEAKER_01]: There's nothing except happening except by His permission.

[SPEAKER_01]: Allah has called you with His messenger. [SPEAKER_01]: He sent you the greatest of messenger to tell you that you rejected this beautiful thing. [SPEAKER_01]: This beautiful thing where when God creates a sense of, oh God, what did you create us for? [SPEAKER_01]: So you can ask me and I can give you because in that asking and believing He's the only true giver is to aid in a bad.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's built into it. [SPEAKER_01]: And when I ask forgiveness from the Creator, knowing that He's the only true and absolute [SPEAKER_01]: That's a grower bittoheet, where Abu Diyah, whereas asking anybody else is only asking him as a means, not believing his absolute giver. [SPEAKER_01]: So, Fakat kedeptum, oh, kufar of Korayish, why would you reject this beautiful deal?

[SPEAKER_01]: Why would you, so I bring you here into my home? [SPEAKER_01]: Why did you bring me into my home? [SPEAKER_01]: Why did you invite me? [SPEAKER_01]: For what are we having a meeting? [SPEAKER_01]: Do you need something from me? [SPEAKER_01]: No, it's a feast. [SPEAKER_01]: I'm here to give you food.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's when we get an invitation, that's what happens. [SPEAKER_01]: You go, why is it so good to invite your friends over for dinner? [SPEAKER_01]: It's because he comes there and he expects to do nothing, except sit on his rear on the entertains. [SPEAKER_01]: And have dinner served to him and then have dessert served him and have tea served to him without ever have to live live live to finger.

[SPEAKER_01]: So it's a wonderful thing, right? [SPEAKER_01]: And the host, he's been working, he's cleaning the house, he cooked the food, he's going to clean the food, then he's going to serve, who knows if he's even going to eat, right? [SPEAKER_01]: Because he's busy, so it's work. [SPEAKER_01]: But he's doing charity.

[SPEAKER_01]: So a lot of how to invite us, all you have to do is accept the invitation. [SPEAKER_01]: prophesied, said, the likeness of my coming as a messenger is a likeness of a man who says, oh, people, there's a very rich man and he has a feast. [SPEAKER_01]: Go and eat. [SPEAKER_01]: So we go. [SPEAKER_01]: So our going is accepting the religion that accepting, believing him, believing in him and walking to where he told us to go, [SPEAKER_01]: Where is actually a leading us to?

[SPEAKER_01]: We ask a line of you for this. [SPEAKER_01]: We sit at the feast table. [SPEAKER_01]: And in this life, it's like when you go to a high class, restaurant, a high class, anything, wedding, there's appetizers first, right? [SPEAKER_01]: And in fact, these days, the appetizers are better than the wedding, right?

[SPEAKER_01]: You're the reason for these contemporary weddings. [SPEAKER_01]: And what do they call it? [SPEAKER_01]: Cocktail Hour. [SPEAKER_01]: What do they call it? [SPEAKER_01]: The cocktail hour is better than the wedding. [SPEAKER_01]: They've got like six things and waiters coming around with all sorts of unique different things, right?

[SPEAKER_01]: And sometimes they're like, let's leave, right? [SPEAKER_01]: I could just, I'd rather just attend the cocktail. [SPEAKER_01]: I have an idea. [SPEAKER_01]: Reverse the whole thing, right? [SPEAKER_01]: Make the majority of it cocktail hour. [SPEAKER_01]: And then a little bit of wedding.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's instead of 25% as a cocktail or 75% wedding, but our gifts in this world is the cocktail hour. [SPEAKER_01]: And then paradise is the dinner, okay? [SPEAKER_01]: So you don't go into that hall, that big hall, that big beautiful hall, you don't go into that until the wedding. [SPEAKER_01]: When you arrive, you just hang out with your friends, at those tables that are like standing tables or schools, the servers coming around with all these unique [SPEAKER_01]: That's the reward of a Muslim in this life, and that's also sometimes, by the way, because the Prophet did say, some believers, they suffer in this life and they get through it in the next life, other believers, they enjoy this life and they enjoy the next life, and that's the best that you would want.

[SPEAKER_01]: For self-acunulism, meaning it's going to be a big regret, you're going to suffer in this life, and you're going to suffer in the next life. [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. [SPEAKER_01]: Talbahat-e-yujaz-e bi-am-al-e-gha-kha-le-b-n-jir-e-b-n-juro-y-j-h-l-ab-n-d-e-m-n-w-h-l-h-l-k-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m- [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe someday, if there's someone with a passion to build it out and be the operator for it, we can do that.

[SPEAKER_01]: But, well, I started, it caused me to get into the algorithm of marriage advice on YouTube, because I was listening to all those. [SPEAKER_01]: And that led also to a lot of dating mostly complaints, and saying like, it's a disaster out there. [SPEAKER_01]: It's a complete disaster.
