1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,679
but what do we do we say we use Islam to

2
00:00:02,679 --> 00:00:05,839
say oh parents have all the rights and

3
00:00:05,839 --> 00:00:09,200
children have none of the rights by the

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,599
way the only relationship where one has

5
00:00:11,599 --> 00:00:13,120
all the rights and the other has no

6
00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:15,679
rights is Allah and the slave because

7
00:00:15,679 --> 00:00:18,279
Allah has all the rights and we are just

8
00:00:18,279 --> 00:00:20,119
slaves of Allah we don't have any rights

9
00:00:20,119 --> 00:00:21,519
against Allah everything Allah gives us

10
00:00:21,519 --> 00:00:24,199
is a favor from

11
00:00:26,359 --> 00:00:29,080
him but then the Quran teaches you and

12
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,239
teaches me how how is that an a how is

13
00:00:32,239 --> 00:00:36,760
the wind an a how is how is the Sun an a

14
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,320
without it I could learn a lot about the

15
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,600
sun in science class but I won't learn

16
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,680
that it is what it's an Ayah the Quran

17
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,760
came and changed the world around me and

18
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,840
I started seeing ayat everywhere and the

19
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,440
more ayat I see in the world it takes me

20
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,520
back to what he teaches me about those

21
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,440
ayats and the more I read the Quran it

22
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,399
makes makes me go back into the universe

23
00:00:59,399 --> 00:01:02,480
and explore those aat so those aat pull

24
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,559
me back towards these aat and these aat

25
00:01:04,559 --> 00:01:06,960
push me back towards those ayat and they

26
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:09,640
keep I keep going between the aat so

27
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,280
when the prophet s wasam is reciting the

28
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:12,960
ayat to them he's changing their world

29
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:15,240
view people now recognize that ayat are

30
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,119
all around them right so it's a very

31
00:01:17,119 --> 00:01:18,960
powerful phrase that's used as the

32
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:21,000
opening statement of these four steps

33
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,759
now we're going to talk about the second

34
00:01:23,759 --> 00:01:28,240
step and he purifies them uh the word Z

35
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,439
yuzaki comes from the letters Z CF and

36
00:01:31,439 --> 00:01:34,479
wow and it actually means either means

37
00:01:34,479 --> 00:01:37,360
an even number so a balance of numbers

38
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,320
or two odd numbers together uh when when

39
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:44,920
a land uh has no bugs and you can grow

40
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,320
really good plants on it it's healthy

41
00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:49,159
soil it's

42
00:01:49,159 --> 00:01:51,680
called or Saina meaning it grows really

43
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,680
good fruits uh growth itself like a

44
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,759
child growing is also called

45
00:01:57,759 --> 00:02:03,280
zaka so you know like in you

46
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,640
have did you kill a boy Zak could mean

47
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,840
pure but it also means a growing boy

48
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,360
like he's still he's not grown yet he's

49
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,000
still on his process of growing so he's

50
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,760
innocent he's pure but he's also growing

51
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,680
so a zakat what we use in our uh in our

52
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,879
sh like you have to pay zakat every year

53
00:02:21,879 --> 00:02:24,160
right so the zaka means it purifies your

54
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,120
money but it actually also means it

55
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,400
grows your

56
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,000
money right because when you give it it

57
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,319
puts more Baraka in the rest of your

58
00:02:31,319 --> 00:02:33,640
money and that grows right so and of

59
00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:35,760
course you're growing because whatever

60
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,440
you spent you've actually given to your

61
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,000
own self for the account you just

62
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,040
transfer from D account to account so

63
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:46,120
it's growth all around Z is used as a

64
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,959
verb T the verb tya was used in Arabic

65
00:02:48,959 --> 00:02:52,319
for two things to fix something like if

66
00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:54,959
you fixed your car then you did Tasia of

67
00:02:54,959 --> 00:02:57,159
your car and also means to clean up

68
00:02:57,159 --> 00:02:59,480
something to purify something and often

69
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:00,400
times

70
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,440
fixing something actually requires the

71
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,599
first step of it is what cleaning up

72
00:03:04,599 --> 00:03:06,319
like for example if doctors are trying

73
00:03:06,319 --> 00:03:08,519
to fix a cut or an injury what's the

74
00:03:08,519 --> 00:03:11,560
first thing they do they disinfect right

75
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,840
they clean up all the mess and then they

76
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,560
they they they fix if somebody's trying

77
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,720
to fix a beat up old car that's Rusty

78
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,519
what's the first step they're going to

79
00:03:19,519 --> 00:03:21,280
clean up all the rust get rid of that

80
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,840
then begin the fixing process right so

81
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,879
the same way zaka actually means to fix

82
00:03:26,879 --> 00:03:29,159
where the first step is actually uh

83
00:03:29,159 --> 00:03:31,400
cleansing or purifying okay now now we

84
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,319
get to the heart of the matter the

85
00:03:33,319 --> 00:03:35,280
Second Step that is being described is

86
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,280
that he purifies them he purifies them

87
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:39,920
and usually what we think of somebody

88
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,840
being purified we think in the spiritual

89
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,760
sense but I want you to take the full

90
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,959
picture what does it mean that the

91
00:03:45,959 --> 00:03:47,760
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam and

92
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,200
the Quran is purifying them right the

93
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:52,760
messenger is purifying these people

94
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,439
firstly yes it is spiritually purifying

95
00:03:55,439 --> 00:03:57,959
meaning they believed in multiple gods

96
00:03:57,959 --> 00:03:59,959
they didn't they didn't realize the the

97
00:03:59,959 --> 00:04:02,319
damage their sins do to their souls

98
00:04:02,319 --> 00:04:04,799
their hearts they didn't realize that so

99
00:04:04,799 --> 00:04:07,000
there is a spiritual cleansing there's a

100
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,280
spiritual purification that's happening

101
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,439
by the way when we see tya or

102
00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:13,680
purification you should also think of

103
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,959
nurturing and cleansing because those

104
00:04:15,959 --> 00:04:18,320
meanings are growth nurturing and

105
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:19,799
cleansing all them so you know what that

106
00:04:19,799 --> 00:04:22,400
means people are being spiritually

107
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,840
developed they're not just becoming pure

108
00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:26,759
overnight they're being nurtured and

109
00:04:26,759 --> 00:04:28,759
developed right you're not there yet

110
00:04:28,759 --> 00:04:30,520
you're going to get there like for

111
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,080
example and some people they have a

112
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,160
really bad diet and they want to fix

113
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,680
themselves they want to get healthier

114
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,199
then they go to a nutritionist or they

115
00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:38,639
go to a fitness coach or something and

116
00:04:38,639 --> 00:04:40,880
he says okay we're going to do a detox

117
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,080
or we're going to do this program and

118
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,440
you're going to go on a keto diet or

119
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:44,479
you're going to go to this other kind

120
00:04:44,479 --> 00:04:47,199
ofab diet or whatever they come up with

121
00:04:47,199 --> 00:04:50,120
right so what what what are they doing

122
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,160
do you get cleansed overnight no and is

123
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,639
it sometimes you're in the process of

124
00:04:54,639 --> 00:04:56,320
cleansing and you're like I can't I see

125
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,479
a donut I don't know what to do and then

126
00:04:58,479 --> 00:05:01,759
you go back and you dirty yourself again

127
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:03,520
you so you make progress then you fall

128
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:04,800
then you make progress and you fall you

129
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,600
make progress and you fall overall you

130
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,120
should be making progress but it's not

131
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:09,759
like every day is progress sometimes

132
00:05:09,759 --> 00:05:12,039
there's dips right some some days

133
00:05:12,039 --> 00:05:13,919
they're not as good as other days but

134
00:05:13,919 --> 00:05:16,800
overall you're developing and actually

135
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,800
falling is also a lesson and then you

136
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,400
learn from that lesson and you develop

137
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:21,720
again and you keep taking more and more

138
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,360
steps towards furthering so that's

139
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:24,720
Spiritual Development and that's

140
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,639
actually something that many in in the

141
00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:28,520
Islamic tradition we've talked a lot

142
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,800
about purification of the heart

143
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,800
right uh and the cleansing of the heart

144
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,280
and Allah talks about that in the Quran

145
00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:36,680
quite a bit I have my own unorthodox

146
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,840
view on spiritual purification so I'll

147
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:41,479
share that with you because I'm only

148
00:05:41,479 --> 00:05:42,880
here for a few days and then you have to

149
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,039
deal with the consequences yourself um I

150
00:05:46,039 --> 00:05:49,560
do believe that uh what Allah revealed

151
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,880
to us is right to the point like Allah

152
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,600
does not speak in circles and Allah does

153
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,560
not speak in abstract philosophy Allah

154
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,639
speaks Direct IR L you know the the

155
00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:02,280
shortest distance between two things is

156
00:06:02,280 --> 00:06:04,520
a straight line when there's a problem

157
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,000
Allah addresses the problem directly

158
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,319
right so for example Allah says well

159
00:06:09,319 --> 00:06:11,039
okay how do you get people say how do

160
00:06:11,039 --> 00:06:14,160
you get TA of Allah how do I get Allah

161
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,440
says okay start fasting and in month of

162
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:18,599
Ramadan and what's what's it going to

163
00:06:18,599 --> 00:06:20,720
give

164
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,960
you like how how's fasting going to give

165
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:24,479
me well you're going to learn to stay

166
00:06:24,479 --> 00:06:26,840
away from things that are even Halal and

167
00:06:26,840 --> 00:06:28,720
it's going to teach you how to stop

168
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,639
yourself and tawa in the end is what

169
00:06:31,639 --> 00:06:34,560
stop yourself so 30 days of stopping

170
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,319
yourself might help you build a little

171
00:06:36,319 --> 00:06:39,319
bit of an ability to stop yourself from

172
00:06:39,319 --> 00:06:41,080
doing stupid things from doing Haram

173
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:42,919
things if you can even stop yourself

174
00:06:42,919 --> 00:06:45,199
from Halal things then maybe that's a

175
00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:46,639
pretty good training for you to even

176
00:06:46,639 --> 00:06:50,039
stop from Haram things right so that's

177
00:06:50,039 --> 00:06:51,960
it's a it's a step and it's not

178
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,880
guaranteed means hopefully you'll get

179
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,280
some tawa out of it the hope is you'll

180
00:06:56,280 --> 00:06:59,879
get TAA out of it okay well how do I how

181
00:06:59,879 --> 00:07:03,039
do I know if I have ta he

182
00:07:03,039 --> 00:07:05,520
says be mindful of Allah and say things

183
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,039
in a straightforward

184
00:07:07,039 --> 00:07:10,400
way just say say exactly what you

185
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,759
mean what happens sometimes when you

186
00:07:12,759 --> 00:07:14,840
need to talk to somebody do you say

187
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,080
exactly what you mean or do you

188
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:17,599
calculate in your head if I say this

can't tell him no I need to be strategic

192
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,800
about this we have so much fear of

193
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,720
people that it over rides the fear of

194
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,720
who even Allah says if you have TA of me

195
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:34,879

196
00:07:34,879 --> 00:07:36,840

offend doesn't matter if you ended up

198
00:07:38,879 --> 00:07:40,440
siding With the Enemy because you're

199
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,639
saying the right thing doesn't matter if

200
00:07:42,639 --> 00:07:44,039
you were going against the loved one

201
00:07:44,039 --> 00:07:45,039
because you're siding with the right

202
00:07:45,039 --> 00:07:47,039
thing just say if you're really fearful

203
00:07:47,039 --> 00:07:49,360
of me just say the right thing and then

204
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,639
I will fix whatever situation there

205
00:07:52,639 --> 00:07:54,840
is in other words Allah does not give us

206
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,120
some oh you must first climb on this

207
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,720
mountain and you must sit under a tree

208
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,440
and until you feel the

209
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,560
breeze you will not know the truth of ta

210
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,520

learn Kung Fu and he says just go up and

213
00:08:12,039 --> 00:08:13,840
down the mountain 20 times and learn

214
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,199
this breathing technique before I even

215
00:08:15,199 --> 00:08:18,039
begin to teach you or wax on wax off

216
00:08:18,039 --> 00:08:19,879

case before the coming of the Quran this

250
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,440

Islam this is what people that used to

manipulate people in the name of

255
00:09:51,839 --> 00:09:54,640
religion used to do guys sorry for the

256
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:55,839
interruption in the middle of this

and the wisdom of the Quran uh and are

265
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,240
insh T spreading that in their own

266
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,240
circles thanks so much and the Quran

267
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,160
came to get rid of all of this but human

268
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,839
beings have their own human tendency so

269
00:10:20,839 --> 00:10:23,200
what did they do over time they went

270
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,920
back to the same Tendencies again and I

271
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,800
don't dismiss the entire genre and I I

272
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,000
actually appreciate quite a bit uh you

273
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,640
know across a variety of genres in

274
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,120
Islamic Studies including Sufi

275
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,880
literature however did we develop

276
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,200
extremes yeah and are some of them

277
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:41,880
extremely against the spirit of the

278
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:42,959
Quran

279
00:10:42,959 --> 00:10:45,279
absolutely absolutely and if you study

280
00:10:45,279 --> 00:10:47,680
if you just read if you go back to Step

281
00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:50,160
One you be like I need to distance

282
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,720
myself from this this this this version

283
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,200
of spirituality that's actually against

284
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,600
the quran's spirituality it's not just

285
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,800
cleansing me spiritually it's cleansing

286
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,720
my concept of

287
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,959
spirituality it's actually purifying my

288
00:11:05,959 --> 00:11:07,959
con what does it mean to be a good

289
00:11:07,959 --> 00:11:10,160
person you know a young lady asked the

290
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,240
other day I feel so bad that I don't

291
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,040
fast on Mondays and Thursdays did Allah

292
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:15,800
in his entire Quran ask you to feel bad

293
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:16,880
if you don't fast on Mondays and

294
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,959
Thursdays didn't he free you from that

295
00:11:18,959 --> 00:11:20,880
burden there are some things you should

296
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,279
feel bad about and I'm pretty sure Allah

297
00:11:23,279 --> 00:11:25,839
the knower of the Unseen and the seen

298
00:11:25,839 --> 00:11:27,839
who guided Humanity until the end of

299
00:11:27,839 --> 00:11:31,000
time with his most perfect speech would

300
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,760
tell you here are the things you should

301
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,480
actually feel bad

302
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,880
about right so didn't he liberate me

303
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,320
from all the other

304
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,639
guilts that I don't have to

305
00:11:41,639 --> 00:11:44,880
carry it's Li it's actually spiritually

306
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,240
liberating then there's intellectual

307
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,480
purification Quran keeps

308
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,680
saying this isn't just a spiritual

309
00:11:52,680 --> 00:11:54,680
religion it's an intellectual religion

310
00:11:54,680 --> 00:11:56,560
ibraim Alam isn't just questioning his

311
00:11:56,560 --> 00:11:58,760
people spiritually he's he's questioning

312
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,240
them int

313
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,600
saying um so why do you follow this why

314
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,360
should I believe in this what is the

315
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,480
reason behind this there's this Quran

316
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,240
keeps saying go ask questions explore go

317
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,519
see the Earth travel ask those who you

318
00:12:12,519 --> 00:12:14,199
ask the people who know if you don't

319
00:12:14,199 --> 00:12:17,959
know learn inquire what religion tells

320
00:12:17,959 --> 00:12:20,680
you to leave the monastery and go

321
00:12:20,680 --> 00:12:23,160
explore people religions usually told

322
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:24,920
you don't go out there you will lose

323
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:25,920
your

324
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,160
faith don't think for yourself thinking

325
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,279
is from the Devil

326
00:12:30,279 --> 00:12:31,680
I've actually met some folks that I

327
00:12:31,680 --> 00:12:33,000
talked to about God a little bit I was

328
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,880
like yeah that makes a lot of sense but

329
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,079
you know my pastor told me that if it

330
00:12:37,079 --> 00:12:38,360
makes too much sense it's the devil

331
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,320
trying to trick

332
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,120
you and it's not just some denominations

333
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,199
of Christianity that developed that many

334
00:12:45,199 --> 00:12:47,360
Muslims don't listen because it's going

335
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,480
to seem like it makes a lot of sense

336
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,480
that's how shatan Gets You by using your

337
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,279
brain stop thinking and you will be safe

338
00:12:56,279 --> 00:12:58,279
Allah created the best of creation the

339
00:12:58,279 --> 00:13:00,279
human being and the best of his muscles

340
00:13:00,279 --> 00:13:02,839
is in here and the and you use this to

341
00:13:02,839 --> 00:13:04,600
come to Islam and after you come to

342
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,440
Islam you tell people stop using this

343
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,320
thing because now you're a Muslim now

344
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,199
you can be

345
00:13:10,199 --> 00:13:13,560
stupid the book came to cleanse us

346
00:13:13,560 --> 00:13:15,480
intellectually to make us people of

347
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,600
thought and exploration and

348
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,000
learning you know and this is an

349
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,680
intellectual cleansing that's part of

350
00:13:22,680 --> 00:13:24,399
and you know what should I believe about

351
00:13:24,399 --> 00:13:26,480
Allah why should I believe that about

352
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:27,600
Allah what should I believe about the

353
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,880
prophet was why should I believe that

354
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:30,880
what should I believe about my

355
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,040
relationship with him these are

356
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,360
intellectual purifications and then

357
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,199
there's a physical purification like

358
00:13:36,199 --> 00:13:37,519
what give me an example of physical

359
00:13:37,519 --> 00:13:40,399
purification in this

360
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,880
religion and actually even what we eat

361
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,320
what we put inside our body has to be

362
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,920
good and pure isn't it so the body on

363
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,880
the external needs to be pure and also

364
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,480
physically internally also needs to be

365
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,000
pure and the relationships the physical

366
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,519
relationships we have with other human

367
00:13:56,519 --> 00:13:59,920
beings the spouses has to be pure

368
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:02,600
all of it has to be pure so it's it's

369
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,680
not just spiritually and intellectually

370
00:14:04,680 --> 00:14:06,639
cleansing it's actually physically

371
00:14:06,639 --> 00:14:08,680
cleansing and our physical cleanliness

372
00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:10,440
is tied to our intellectual and our

373
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,000
spiritual kindliness and one of my

374
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,440
favorites is the quran's emotional

375
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,560
purification I love I alluded to it

376
00:14:16,560 --> 00:14:18,040
before but I'll tell you some more about

377
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,360
it in Arab culture for example if a

378
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:21,959
husband and wife had an argument with

379
00:14:21,959 --> 00:14:23,759
each other and the husband got really

380
00:14:23,759 --> 00:14:26,880
mad at his wife it would say I hate you

381
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,000
so much from today on when I think of

382
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,079
you it's like I think of my own

383
00:14:33,079 --> 00:14:37,279
mother from today you are my

384
00:14:37,639 --> 00:14:40,079
mother and she' be

385
00:14:40,079 --> 00:14:42,880
like this is called this was a practice

386
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,120
called the Arabs used to do this and

387
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,360
that means forever again I will never be

388
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:48,880
with this woman again I will never think

389
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,560
about her romantically again I will

390
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:51,800
never be in a relationship with her

391
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,160
again because she is now equal to who my

392
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:59,560
mother so it's disgusting not for me

393
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,320
Allah says in the

394
00:15:04,399 --> 00:15:07,000
Quran oh those people who do this with

395
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,440
their women they're not their

396
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,600
moms

397
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,680
done I can't believe he said I'm his mom

398
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,079
Allah said no they're

399
00:15:17,079 --> 00:15:20,199
not you're not his mom you could say

400
00:15:20,199 --> 00:15:22,160
whatever you want some people are really

401
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,279
into drama right they say dramatic

402
00:15:24,279 --> 00:15:26,480
things some I mean I come from South

403
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:27,959
Asia we're really into

404
00:15:27,959 --> 00:15:30,720
drama right some moms will say to their

405
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,920
son from today you are not my

406
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,560
son still your

407
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,000
son can't change

408
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,360
that fathers can say if you do this

409
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,360
again you are no longer my son actually

410
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,880
I am you okay the genetics are still

411
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,519
yeah I look like you Dad look look at

412
00:15:54,519 --> 00:15:57,360
me no you can't change that you can't

413
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,519
emotionally blackmail people you can't

414
00:16:00,519 --> 00:16:03,560
use emotions to control people Allah

415
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,199
even said you know and if you I

416
00:16:05,199 --> 00:16:07,680
mentioned this before emotionally people

417
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,040
you know relationships are supposed to

418
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:10,519
be healthy which means I have some

419
00:16:10,519 --> 00:16:13,000
rights and my wife has some rights I

420
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,399
have some rights my parents have some

421
00:16:14,399 --> 00:16:16,519
rights I have some rights my siblings

422
00:16:16,519 --> 00:16:18,560
have some rights I have responsibilities

423
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,079
they also have what responsibilities

424
00:16:21,079 --> 00:16:23,360
it's a give and take it's a balance

425
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,040
between both but what do we do we say we

426
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,680
use Islam to say oh parents have all the

427
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,120
rights

428
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,480
and children have none of the rights by

429
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,880
the way the only relationship where one

430
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:37,560
has all the rights and the other has no

431
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,120
rights is Allah and the slave because

432
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,680
Allah has all the rights and we are just

433
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,519
slaves of Allah we don't have any rights

434
00:16:44,519 --> 00:16:45,920
against Allah everything Allah gives us

435
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,639
is a favor from him every other

436
00:16:48,639 --> 00:16:51,920
relationship has what rights and

437
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,920
responsibilities you think of a mother

438
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,639
who doesn't feed her child and throws

439
00:16:56,639 --> 00:16:57,839
him out in the

440
00:16:57,839 --> 00:17:00,360
trash and goes to jail because of it she

441
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,560
says but in Islam I have all the rights

442
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:04,799
and that baby I threw in the trash

443
00:17:04,799 --> 00:17:07,400
should still treat me withan when he

444
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,160
grows up one day after he comes out of

445
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:10,600
foster

446
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,480
care you think she has that right you

447
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,240
think this is what Islam teaches no no

448
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,480
there's you have to do your part even in

449
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:19,919
the Dua you make for your parents for

450
00:17:19,919 --> 00:17:21,280
example you

451
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,319
say my master show them

452
00:17:24,319 --> 00:17:27,079
both but you don't stop there what do

453
00:17:27,079 --> 00:17:27,840
you

454
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,480
say

455
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,320
the way they raised me when I was the

456
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,080
way they nurtured me when I was small

457
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:34,320
but if they were beating you up when you

458
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,120
were small if they were abusing you when

459
00:17:36,120 --> 00:17:38,039
you were small if they were abandoning

460
00:17:38,039 --> 00:17:39,960
you when you were small if they were

461
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,480
drinking alcohol and fighting each other

462
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,080
and scarring you psychologically in

463
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,559
front of you when you were small is

464
00:17:45,559 --> 00:17:49,120
that did the DU

465
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,840
say whatever they did they did it's

466
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,360
okay read the Quran bro you know what

467
00:17:57,360 --> 00:18:00,679
that is that's emotional cleansing why

468
00:18:00,679 --> 00:18:03,000
because now the only emotionally you

469
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,400
only carry the burdens Allah made you

470
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,640
carry and you don't have to carry any

471
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,880
burdens and any guilt that Allah did not

472
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,400
make you carry there are some things

473
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,880
emotionally also in in our families and

474
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:16,520
in our cultures there are some things

475
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,120
that are wrong but they're not wrong in

476
00:18:19,120 --> 00:18:21,640
Islam you know that right there are some

477
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,720
things that are culturally very wrong

478
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,039
but they're not wrong in Islam and when

479
00:18:27,039 --> 00:18:29,000
you do something that's Allah has no

480
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,720
problem with it completely Halal Allah

481
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:32,919
has no problem with it and you're doing

482
00:18:32,919 --> 00:18:35,280
the right thing and everyone in your

483
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,720
family says this is wrong we hate you we

484
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,039
can't believe you did this you're such

485
00:18:39,039 --> 00:18:41,520
as shame Allah will ask you why Allah is

486
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,159
actually not having a problem at all

487
00:18:44,159 --> 00:18:45,799
you're having a problem Allah has no

488
00:18:45,799 --> 00:18:48,559
problem I'm well within my rights I

489
00:18:48,559 --> 00:18:50,679
didn't violate anybody's rights I stayed

490
00:18:50,679 --> 00:18:53,559
within Allah's shade of Hal you know

491
00:18:53,559 --> 00:18:55,760
what Allah does he removes that

492
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,679
emotional baggage he cleanses my emotion

493
00:18:59,679 --> 00:19:01,480
I don't have to carry those emotions

494
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,760
with me I don't have to carry that guilt

495
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,400
with me if I owe real guilt I owe it to

496
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,240
someone who I actually wronged according

497
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,080
to the book of Allah if I actually

498
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,679
wronged my parents I owe that if I

499
00:19:12,679 --> 00:19:14,280
actually wronged some fine I owe an

500
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,840
apology and the other incredible

501
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,120
emotional cleansing that Allah did is

502
00:19:19,120 --> 00:19:20,559
how many times do you have to make Toba

503
00:19:20,559 --> 00:19:22,080
to Allah before Allah accepts the Toba

504
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,240
tell

505
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,960
me sincere Toba how many times

506
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,760
and then you have to believe that Allah

507
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,559
has what forgiven you have to believe

508
00:19:34,559 --> 00:19:36,880
that that's we learned that in the Quran

509
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,320
of course you should keep making Toba

510
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,320
because we make many sins but if you

511
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,520
sincerely like so for example you stole

512
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,440
when you were a teenager you were stupid

513
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,080
and you know you you ran away with

514
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,840
somebody else's McDonald's

515
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,200
fries you feel really guilty now you

516
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:52,960
next Ramadan you decided to make TOA for

517
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,280
those fries we're like I'm going to make

518
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,760
I I remember I ate 18 fries so I'm going

519
00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,840
to make first 18 days of Ramadan 18

520
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,000
different toas no no no you could put

521
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,480
the whole packet together and just make

522
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,000
one Toba sincerely and you can move on

523
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,440
now you don't have to live inside that

524
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,120
guilt you understand you can move on mam

525
00:20:11,120 --> 00:20:11,960
killed

526
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,919
somebody and he made to Allah but did he

527
00:20:14,919 --> 00:20:17,120
keep on making to Allah or he madear to

528
00:20:17,120 --> 00:20:18,880
Allah that's it now he's doing good

529
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,320
things he's moved on because he's hoping

530
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,919
that Allah will now forgive that's

531
00:20:23,919 --> 00:20:27,799
it what do we do human beings Allah says

532
00:20:27,799 --> 00:20:29,679
ask me sincerely

533
00:20:29,679 --> 00:20:32,520
once what do human beings do sorry I did

534
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,440
that that's not good enough for

535
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,679
me you know you're not really sorry

536
00:20:37,679 --> 00:20:40,200
right yes I am I am sorry I said I'm

537
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,880
sorry did you

538
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,760
though and then the next time you're in

539
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,600
a bad mood you remember what you did

540
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,400
right but I said sorry for that yeah you

541
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,720
said sorry you think that's

542
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,640
enough but I didn't just say sorry I try

543
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,120
I asked you what can I do to make it up

544
00:20:56,120 --> 00:20:58,120
to you and you said this this and this

545
00:20:58,120 --> 00:20:59,640
and I did this this and this and you're

546
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,480
bringing it up again yeah well I can't

547
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:03,960
let it

548
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,039
go because I don't think you've paid

549
00:21:06,039 --> 00:21:07,520
enough of a

550
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,120

552
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:14,960

00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,200

554
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:18,600

555
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,400

567
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,880
he will say Ya Allah hold on I'm still

568
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,760
upset

569
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,960

forgiveness I'll give you just one

573
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,559
example to put me and you in our place

574
00:22:06,559 --> 00:22:08,559
just to put us in our

575
00:22:08,559 --> 00:22:12,919
place wasallam was in and he got

576
00:22:12,919 --> 00:22:15,760
injured he got hit he fell unconscious

577
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,679
he wakes up from unconsciousness and he

578
00:22:18,679 --> 00:22:21,200
says how can Allah guide a people that

579
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:22,600
spill its prophet's

580
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,080
blood he was upset with the qur who

581
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,679
almost killed him you know what Allah

582
00:22:27,679 --> 00:22:30,520
said to him

583
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:32,559
you have no

584
00:22:32,559 --> 00:22:36,679
Authority you don't have no Authority

585
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,799
whatsoever whether he forgives them

586
00:22:41,799 --> 00:22:44,320
accepts their Toba or he punishes them

587
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,000
and and they are in fact

588
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,039
wrong Allah owns whatever is in the

589
00:22:49,039 --> 00:22:51,279
skies and whatever is in the

590
00:22:51,279 --> 00:22:53,919
earth he forgives whoever he wants and

591
00:22:53,919 --> 00:22:55,640
he punishes whoever he

592
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,600
wants and Allah is forgiving Allah is

593
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,240
loving and caring one by the way who was

594
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,080
the one person in the Battle of that

595
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,520
caused the prophet to bleed actually one

596
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,080
person who turned the whole battle

597
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,400
around you know who that is his name is

598
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:10,679
khb

599
00:23:10,679 --> 00:23:13,039
W he was the strategist who saw the

600
00:23:13,039 --> 00:23:14,520
Muslims are in a weak position we can

601
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,799
come around flank them from behind and

602
00:23:16,799 --> 00:23:18,240
that's when everything went bad for the

603
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,080
Muslims what's his

604
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,159
name did Allah forgive him did he become

605
00:23:23,159 --> 00:23:24,000
a

606
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,400
sahabi the one who all the one who was

607
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,039
the reason for the prophet almost being

608
00:23:28,039 --> 00:23:29,880
killed

609
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:31,840
right Allah says he forgives whoever he

610
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,120
wants he punishes whoever he wants

611
00:23:34,120 --> 00:23:35,919
that's up to

612
00:23:35,919 --> 00:23:39,559
Allah he can tell that to his Prophet

613
00:23:39,559 --> 00:23:43,000
but you think you're going to tell Allah

614
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,080
that your cousin's not going to get

615
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:45,880
forgiven cuz you're still

616
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,440
mad whatever Allah does with them that's

617
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,840
between Allah and him you have your

618
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,679
dealing with Allah and Allah says about

619
00:23:53,679 --> 00:23:55,840
judgment Allah will heal the hearts of

620
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,320
believer yes there may be somebody who's

621
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,039
caused you pain and and that you see you

622
00:23:59,039 --> 00:24:00,480
feel like they're getting they got away

623
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,720
with it and maybe they'll just make Toba

624
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:03,919
think you know it's okay I like this

625
00:24:03,919 --> 00:24:06,600
better these things make me sneeze more

626
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,600
I love the gesture it's okay at least

627
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,120
I'm not sneezing so that's I'm happy

628
00:24:11,120 --> 00:24:15,120
about that cu the amount of angels today

629
00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:18,880
oh man okay anyway so now let's move on

630
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,640
to financial

631
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,159
cleansing here's what's coming up in the

632
00:24:24,159 --> 00:24:26,320
next episode in this deeper look of

633
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,880
Surah J you know

634
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,760
like for example uh um in in many

635
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,120
cultures you cannot get married until

636
00:24:34,120 --> 00:24:36,039
you have this much degree this much

637
00:24:36,039 --> 00:24:38,240
money you've done this this this this

638
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,240
and then maybe we'll think about getting

639
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:41,919
you married and then once you are ready

640
00:24:41,919 --> 00:24:43,960
to get married the Mah has to be this

641
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,480
amount and this amount and this amount

642
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:47,720
and then if you are going to get married

643
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,279
we have to have this kind of a hall and

644
00:24:50,279 --> 00:24:52,720
this kind of catering and these kinds of

645
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,000
gifts and there's like the the bill

646
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,240
keeps going higher and higher and higher

647
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,399
and higher and and what Allah did in

648
00:25:00,399 --> 00:25:04,440
Islam is he made the path to Halal easy

649
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,559
and the path to Haram difficult and what

650
00:25:07,559 --> 00:25:10,440
many cultures do is they P they make the

651
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,720
path to Halal extremely what difficult

652
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,799
and when you make the path to Halal

653
00:25:15,799 --> 00:25:17,840
difficult automatically what becomes a

654
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,159
lot easier the Haram becomes way easier

655
00:25:21,159 --> 00:25:25,399
so much easier you know
