Google and everyone's a qualified scholar everyone is a qualified scholar other than the swallow that is qualified and everyone will have an opinion other than the scholar him so eaten as soon had been Cassatt it's not soon head Dean case odd yeah this will not happen in any or the field let me ask you a question do you take the medicine book and you don't go to the doctor and you take your own medicine from that book you'll never do that because there's a buck of your mind you know if you've cocked up boy it might harm you big time you just might be history so even though you may possess knowledge but you will not take that medication till you don't get go to the doctor and get it prescribed and that happens in every field but you know what the Quran is a walkover and the sunnah of rasulallah salallahu alayhi wasalam is a walkover and this is why as an Ummah we are lost and our Salaf assaleh him they would spend 30 40 years and even then their bodies would shake when somebody asked him a question in case they cocked up because they know the difference is heaven and hell you can't play with your Deen it's as simple as that 17 years ago Qasim stayed at the feet of the great Imam Malik in madina al munawwara so much so that on one occasion hadith a group of Hajis of Egypt came to visit the rosa of rasool allah i will send him to say their Salaam and express their love to our beloved nabi muhammad sallahu wa sallim they enter the Masjid Imam RA would his daughters would take place in the city of Rasul Allah now with this group of Hajis from Egypt is a young individual his face is covered and he greets in malik assalamu alayka ya malik and he asked imam malik is there our money here called obnoticus him a block casting was pointed out in my mind exactly this person there that's him no Qasim now this young individual his face is covered he makes his way to ignore cos him and he begins to kiss the forehead of him no cos him in that gathering he begins to kiss head kissed the forehead of ignore him it looks awesome shocked he are I don't know this guy from Adam and he's kissing my forehead my young friends in Oh Qasim did not know that this young individual kissing his forehead was none other than his own son his own flesh and blood how can you not know this is your own flesh and blood how can you not know my young friends when he left home he left home 17 years ago you know it wasn't like you've gone in the morning and come back in the evening he left home 17 years ago in such a state that his wife was expecting and he said to his wife BRE I'm going to familiarize myself with my Ilan - all I want to know who my Ilan who might also sonali was son was and I want to live life to please my Allah and - oh I'm going to learn the Deen of Allah when I will return I don't know if you want to stay as my wife and you can make some other then that's fine but if you can't make several because I don't know when I will return and as a result you want to separate you want to divorce you want to move on then I can accommodate this by giving you tell Ark my young friends wives were wives she accommodating his wish and desire and she chose to remain his wife while she was expecting and she gave birth to their son in his absence and this was the first time he was seeing his own flesh and blood after seven years and if you think my young friend is giving 17 years for this Deen is something then my next question will be to you what will you say about a scholar cold but they even in motherland al-qurtubi from Cordova Muslim Spain in the very lump that Muslim rule for hundreds and hundreds of years bhakti even a masala al-qurtubi was from Muslim Spain he left home twice the first time he left home he remained absent for 14 years the second time he left home he remained absent for 20 years he gave if ignore Qasim gave 17 years at the feet of Malik then bhakti I believe motherland alecour tube gave 34 years you know you and I will compete in terms of the dunya I've got one car you have to have - I have one house you have to have - I have got a particular web pair of trainers you've got have a particular pair I've got some some for you want to have some some vibe we compete in terms of the dunya because the dunya is our primary objective we forgotten why I lost places in this dunya these people my young friends they realised why Allah placed him in the dunya their objective was the Asura they would compete in terms of the ocula you and I struggle to give one hour for the Quran we will talk like kings yet we can't even read the basic Quran we can't recite the Quran with tajweed even though learning the Quranic the correct recitation is why here upon the believers and this will not be an excuse on the day of judgement here baki even in mahathat al-qurtubi has given 34 years to learn the deen of allah and you and i are become scholars overnight mr. Google and you know we have opinions and then we'll begin to debate the opinion and will force others to accept our opinion because all of a sudden masha'Allah you are now authority in terms of the Deen 34 years yeah you've never studied from any scholar whatsoever you are a self-proclaimed scholar you read Bihari you read Muslim and that's as far as it goes and even then you've read the you know the translation somebody else's translation God knows whether it's correct or incorrect 34 years he walked from Muslim Spain on foot all the way to Makkah Medina Iraq thousands of miles he covered on foot this is the same bucket even in Makkah lat oco-2 be who will live on cabbage leaves you know cabbage leaves which people scraps with people thrown the ground my young friends he would pick them up he would clean them he would eat them and that is what would sustain him how many a time he sold his trousers trousers my my friend's trousers he sold and the money that he got he would buy paper so he could write the Hadees of a Sunnah last night were Sund and if you think 34 years was a sacrifice and believe me you know it some sacrifice our little minds comprehend such dedication what would you say to a man called half is even Amanda half is evening manda half is you know in this day and age when we use the word half ways is to describe a person that's memorized the Quran and by the grace of Allah there's many you know in those days when they used the words half is there in those days more or less everyone was a half is so you know being a half it wasn't an achievement even though it's a great achievement in those days they used to give the title Hafiz to that individual who had memorized a hundred thousand a hadith of rasool allah sallallahu wasallam off by her son and woman tenant son is and mutton the chain of transmission and the text any person that memorized a hundred thousand Hadees in this manner he was called the harvest him friends are little mind can't comprehend and if you truly want to get a grasp of what I'm saying you know after this lecture see if you can learn 1020 hi this is a Bihari like that and then come on what's at me or you know email me tell me how long it took you to memorize ten twenty Heidi sees with the Sun and and mutton hundred thousand are this is how old do you think he was when he left home twenty years of age when he left home twenty years of age you know in this day and age if a child doesn't go to university then this is the age that he is parents will normally Temuco son you've done your studying now get yourself a job and you'll start beginning to start working and when will you retire even though the government wants you to keep on walk at work until you're dead yeah so they don't have to give you a pension but in general it's sixty five and that's life more or less there's not many people that surpass 65 but okay mashallah in this day and age I should say masha'Allah half of the guys are dropping dead just on the treadmill fit as fiddles ha pops coding is history so not many past sixty five and that's when you retire how old do you think he was when he returned when he left at the hall at the age of twenty sixty five years of age when he returned to home and he left at the age of 20 this is what you call a believer you know he it took him 45 years he's gave 45 years learning the Deen of Allah when you're learning the Deen of Allah what you're really doing you're familiar izing yourself what's the deal about it's about Ilana's rasul so wherever you are choir in a nutshell you are actually familiarizing yourself with you allow your colleague you're getting to know your heart every single bit of em you're getting to know you and abhi Muhammad's like wasalam your mom ooh your beloved you get T you're getting to know every single bit about him that's what you're doing when you're learning the Deen of Allah 45 years of life my young friends who hasn't heard the name of Imam wash away there won't be many believers in this DNA's that haven't heard the name of imam abu hanifa raha metal gnarly Imam was Charvet rahim allah imam malik an imam ahmed emoney humble rahim allah allah gave acceptance to these four individuals there were many schools of the thought in the early days but there was not many people that followed them schools and overtime came to an end but Allah gave acceptance to these four so much not the whole world more or less follows greater number follows the Hanafi school of thought then you have the sharbat school of thought and then you have the Maliki school of thought and you have the Hungary school of thought this is the exception that Allah gave these do you think Imam who Shah he became Shafi overnight 16 years Imam Shafi sustained himself on days 16 years of his life he sustained himself on this and he would only eat as much as he needed to survival 16 years of life he was so poor Imam Shafi that he could not afford to buy paper and ink he would write on stones he would write on leather he would write on bones EMA Mousavi seven years of age seven years of age my young friend and a mom who Shari is in the masjid of rasoolallah sun allah allah wa sallam sitting in the gathering of the great imam malik the imam of medina tournament awara seven years of age my infant what is seven years of age were you not once upon a time seven years old was I not once upon a time seven years of age yeah you know that tender age children don't know their right from their left in terms of daddy they still on basics Qaeda al if baraja at the seven years of age the only thing that interests a child at the age of seven is what play volcano in this day and age that's the only interest even our 40 year olds sitting down with her Playstations beads down here yeah and he's fighting with his son can you been playing with her all day it's my turn and he's playing with his friend you're loving but that is a sad reality it's a funny world and there's some funny people living in his funny world and you know if Allah doesn't guide you cannot be guided if Allah doesn't open the heart and mind and doesn't allow you to see sense my young friends even at 85 you cannot see sense so a 7 year old the only thing that interests him what play he plays my day he plays by night he has no flicker of the dunya and here you have a seven-year-old sha yi he's in the Masjid of Rasul Allah and he's sitting in the gathering of the great imam malik al madina al munawwara now Imam Malik would relate the Hadees of rasoolallah in his machine and the way he would relate the Hadees of Rasool Allah this was his practice he would relay the Hadees of the Sunnah like this he would say and fool on and fool on and so he beheld Alma come now soon sooner is the Hadees he narrates it from so-and-so and it's also narrates a and so I have a harder amacom from the one inside the grave and then he would point out the grave of Rasool Allah when he would say these words that he narrates it from the one inside this grave because he used to give thus inside the Masjid and the graves inside the let's see it and then he wouldn't let the hadith several Sunnah last night was solemn now on one occasion when Imam Malik was relating the hadith of rasoolallah and foolin and fool on and cybo Halima come and he was actually pointing at the grave of rasool allah salallahu alaihe wasalam he saw this young Shar very seven years of age he's sitting there and he's playing with something he's gonna straw inside his mouth and he's adding his thriver to it now this sudden imam ali cannot be a double that this child has no respect I mean the Hadees sulla and he's playing you know don't get me wrong guys standards were different in those days high expectations high standards no like you were mean or half of the time what do you call it you know when there's a talk going on ones in the east and ones in the West and in Juma mashallah you know youngsters will walk in last ten minutes and even though that's that time for that pay Lula the yearning they're sleeping this is the time test that's the other money the ROM that we've got and then we're still professed by Ilana's Rasul bus must not nobody beyond that their standards were so high I don't know whether it is imam malik remember hari one of the two now you know it was narrating the hadith of a sunnah lost somebody was a man within the gathering is becoming pale but he's still sitting there with her arm and the ring the Hadees of rasool allah and after the garden he asked one of the attending the gathering carries the garmet see if there's anything behind me and a scorpion has stung him sixteen seventeen times in his bomb other way there are four the Hadees of rasool allah he wouldn't move and he kept another making the Hadees of rasoolallah son al re wa salim so when you have such a standard where you gonna tolerate even if it's a child showing well you're assuming that you know that so much disrespect there so he waited on that day imam malik narrated forty hadith he waited for the governing to come to an end and when the governing came to an end imam ali called the seven-year-old ER very the seven-year-old came and sat in front of easel start with other manner on an imam malik said Tim Kabat chair you have no respect it cannot be added that you when I'm narrating the Hadees of Rasul Allah you're playing with a straw the child said and this is worth listening to my young friends never forget the child said to Imam Malik chaos a the mccune to our birth I wasn't playing or my master my beloved teacher I wasn't playing I swear by Allah I was writing with my spit what you were saying so I don't forget I wasn't playing he was using the straw adding speech and writing so he doesn't forget the Hadees of Rasool Allah which Imam Malik was in a raid said o my teacher I'm so poor that I don't even have a dirham I don't even have a power to buy ink and paper as a result of which I'm resorting to these methods Imam Malik was shocked so shocked the Imam Ali wanted to put him to the test and said TK by if you're telling me the truth then just to relate one hadith out of the 40 that I narrated today just one my own friends the young Shafi just as his dad imam ali would say and relate the hadees averse to allah and he began at least number one and fool on and fool on and sahib aha the maqam and just as imam ali would point to the grave of rasulallah the child point at the grave of rasulallah and uttered the one is first hadees he began with the second and fallen and fool on and sorry bahar dilemma calm he began with the third and fallen and fool on and sigh be hard and become the child narrated all 40 hadith which Imam Malik hundred in the gathering on that day just as Imam Malik and that's how he became imam of shia you are the master of hadees my young friends I mean I came with the intention of speaking for an hour and I think it's more or less an hour another 5-10 minutes and I'll conclude you had a master about Hadees even attire a time came when only here left was wonder have one pound and he's now thinking what should he spend this theorem on he's in need of three things ink paper and bread to satisfy his hunger three things ink paper bread and he's actually thinking about what should he spend his last there ham on that would never cross your mind that will never crossed my mind we satisfy our hunger even when we're not hungry never mind when we're hungry the question wouldn't even arise but you know we're talking about a fire burning inside the heart and this fire wouldn't let them give preference to anything other than Allah neither soul and the Deen of Allah he is actually sitting there and he's thinking what should he spend his last penny in his heart wouldn't allow him to give preference to his stomach over the Hadees of Rasul Allah so that he was something and he do not spend an hour or two my young friends he says three days I spent just thinking on what I should spend this last pound on ink paper Oh breakfast satisfy my hunger three days and now when he got to a stage where he was mad or Muslim much more he said to himself I am now in such a position that even if I were to buy ink and paper I don't have the strength tonight the Hadees of Allah so Allah and when he got into that position he now took that one there humph placed it in his mouth and left to buy some bread and unfortunately he says I swallowed it by mistake and I said oh Allah look what's happened for three days and now that I've made intention to go buy some bread you've taken the denim from me it was only when a friend of his realize the difficulty that he went through did he actually take him home and feed him never mind giving the last time you had a man call yeah I believe I mean he was a master of Jeremiah Deen it's a science in hadith he inherited 1 million dirhams when his father passed away you know if you and I were to inherit 1 million pound in this day and age and masha'Allah 1 million pound in this day and age is a is a large sum what would you spend your 1 million part 1 million bond you start fulfilling your dreams you know for some a bugatti veyron for some a new bungalow and for some whatever tickles your fancy look at this believer 1 million dirhams he spent every single one acquiring the hadith of Rasul Allah now in his heart is written it got to a stage where he had to sell his shoes because he had no money left so that he could buy paper and write the hadeeth of Rasul Allah Imam Abu Yusuf the student Naaman Eva he did not attend the janazah of his own son how can you not do that your son has died and you know at Kenny's own janazah he made provisions but he did not attend the janazah of his own son in case he missed a lecture of Abu Hanifa it's our cubanía raha why married a woman not she because she bamboozled him and she was God's gift on earth and he was stunned by her astounding Beauty he married her because she inherited the books of Imam Shafi he wanted a benefit from these books so he married her and brought home as his wife and as a result they excelled you know when you give everything to Allah then Allah gives something in return the same year any marine says I wrote with my own hands 1 million Hadees he gave 1 million dirham I like gave him 1 million Hadees this same a sarcomere away that married this woman for the sake of Hadees he says whatever I would hear I would memorize and whatever I memorize I never forgot from the top of their heads they were write books about criminal and body 30 books every Shahin 330 500 the list continues what to say Benny hazard mother Dina I need never you name them one by one every one was a master I asked my young friends where do you and I compare with our forefathers in terms of the Deen in terms of the dunya we live on earth and we talk about planets which are millions of light-years away in terms of Allah dunya that's how far Turkey how far we've got we see in the dunya and you've got people ringing us from the ISS speaking to us millions of miles away speaking to us we're sending spaceship to Mars in terms of our dunya look at this in Sun look at where he's got in terms of his dunya and in terms of his ah hello my young friends it sucked to say that many of us struggle to know how to even perform east india messiah with regards to the east india basic messiah how many times do you relieve yourself a day three times four times five times basic mesial with regards to purity impurity mesial with regards to east india mesial with regards to is the bra majority view were not even heard the word history bra in terms our within my young friends this is how ignorant we are in terms of our deen Messiah with regards to East India there are how that was the biggest obligation in Islam after Iman biggest obligation Islam of the Iman is Salah open the Book of Allah every fifth sixth page Allah talks about Salah a chemist's Allah in the Salah take a little mini nakita mo Kota Hafiz Allah - Allah Hafiz Allah Jalla WA he was taught in Worcester and lady non-fissile a team Harun ghanaian aloe-based Allah he was the god verse of the verse talks about Salah my inference there are not thousands there are millions out there that don't have perform Salah they walk in twice a year either fitter and even Adha and they look at those in front of them how to offer their salat you know don't be deceived by the handful that common read here you know those are actually practicing are probably one or two percent are the Muslims that we have you know 98% in this country don't even practice their D so where they're going to know their Salah never mind Salah the Tablighi Jamaat will tell you that travel far and wide there are people out there that struggle to read a shadow Allah Allah Allah and Mohammad Rasool Allah they can even pronounce now you know the problem is not the ignorance that's not the problem why because we're all ignorant I am ignorant if you compare me to someone else I'm ignorant if you compare yourself to someone else you're ignorant Allah says well folk hakuna the element any above every knowledgeable person there is a person more knowledgeable so we're all ignorant ignorance is not the problem you know what the problem is it's the carefree attitude when it comes to the Deen of Allah no care you know as if you know we're guaranteed paradise away it says Allah loves us so much that is going to give us power it's a carefree attitude when it comes to the deen of allah carefree attitude we've got time to socialize we've got time to Wine and Dine will say hours on end to watch a game of footy but we can't sit down for an hour when it comes to the deen of allah one hour and I'm not asking you to become scholars you know that's too much I'm not asking you to give 17 years of life I'm going to asking you to give 34 like bikini mashallah delicate boobie or 45 Hafiz even Amanda all I'm asking is one hour a week one hour a week so it helps us fulfill our obligation towards our Creator and fulfill our purpose in life the problem is the carefree attitude look at the resources that we have by the grace of Allah we have a hundreds of scholars at our disposal you know once upon a time people they all agreeing glistening ID buttoning that exact day I mean somebody's dating that's the excuse that people used to use by the grace of Allah if you if it's English that you want you have scholars that speak English if it's Pakistani you want you have scholars that speak Punjabi if it's good gelati or scholars that speak Gujarati if it's Somali of scholars that seats Mali if it's what you call it a Hindi of scholars that speak Hindi if it's Arabic your scholars that speak Arabic so you have all the scholars we are modest in every city every town we have Islamic schools in every more or less every city every town we have everything we have all the resources and you know the sad thing is it's free there's no charge yeah top pain your children when you send them to the Masjid what did they pay five quid a week what's five quid compare that with a master English lesson when you pay for tuition tuition twenty quid an hour twenty quid an hour a kid comes to the Masjid ten hours a week is five quid and even then you have a heart attack yeah it's fifty P an hour fifty P in comparison to dunya you pay twenty powerful bucks in English so it's free it's not it's nothing and you know for elders there's no charge all this all this it's free all the resources are there the meal has been cooked all you've got to do is pick up that look mum place it in your mouth and you're prepared to do that the meals been cooked you don't have to travel all the way to my car on foot like our forefathers did you don't have to spend millions and millions upon like your Haven imminent and other scholars like Sharpie can't afford to buy paper the resources are there everything is there the meals being cooked all you've got to do is pick up that morsel and place it in your mouth and you know prepare to do it where are we going wrong how will you show your face on the day of judgment to Allah what excuse do you think ignorance is an excuse I didn't know if ignorant is not an excuse in the dunya do you think it'll be an excuse in the arsenal go and go through red lights and tell the policeman I'm ignorant I didn't know and watch him give you a kiss on the forehead well done well done next time come to know any problem think what planet you want an arrest you for insanity ignorance is not an excuse in the dunya do you think ignorance will be an excuse with regards to the basics of Dean do you think ignorance with regards to fara is will be an excuse on the day of judgement it's no excuse where are we going along let me just tell you where we're going wrong let me conclude let me tell you where we're going wrong we just can't see the benefits why should I waste my time learning the Deen of Allah when there's no to get what can you gain from learning the Quran and Sunnah wal become an imam and you know a monkey's on more nuts than him a monkey is on more nuts than any mum is this is the most oppressed oppressed occupation so that's that's a no-go area there's no benefit there what you're gonna buy a house with it Allah Medine it's not gonna get you a house a mobile phone no a holiday no is there gonna get you a wife no way on God's earth put that on here what do you call it TV she's interested but everyone strives for the dunya because you see them enemies look everyone dreams the dream what's the pakistani dream doctor engineer everyone dreams of becoming a doctor an engineer and farmers in dentists not that there's anything wrong with it and you should because just as we need scholars and we need people on our educate in terms of the Dean we need people that educates in terms of the dunya but the point that I'm making here is everyone dreams of becoming a doctor an engineer why because you see the benefit doctor automatically 100k that's what flushes open your mind and automatically straightaway you can buy yourself that bungalow that you've been dreaming about you can buy yourself that car that you've been dreaming about you can have the latest iPhone and you know what tell that to a woman put that on your CV and they'll be throwing themselves at you and you'll be doing the tango in the Bahamas every year in the Caribbean so you see them anyway but you can't see the benefit in terms of a limousine so why should you waste your time now I'm gonna agree with you okay what you you become a doctor an engineer there are these benefits you'll get yourself a nice house maybe a wife maybe you know a holiday every year yeah but how long will these benefits last 50 years 60s 70s for as long as you live then what what will happen after that will you take these benefits with you will you take your house give me an example of one guy from the time of Adam ELISA ramp to this day but I could give it to me right till the day of judgement yeah one guy that's taking his house with him in his grip other than karun older than karun that's taking his house with him in his grave you know your wife claims that she loves you more than anyone isn't that so your wife is the one that serves you makes your head Matt takes care of you and she claims that she loves you more than anyone have you ever seen one go with her husband okay I can't live without you she sees that in the dunya you know you go let's say from here you're gonna go prophet named Eric Eric I can't live without you one day you're gonna leave me all alone go six foot under and say come with me you know when you take the walls what did she say till death do us part okay you're all right Jillian alive till death do us part you're on your way may I go here and moving on that's the woman that claims that she loves you more than anyone so you're not taking anything with you do you understand and that's as far as it goes the second thing is yeah you'll get these luxuries but having luxuries and happiness is two different things a good surfer brings about luxury comfort a good car brings about look shitty comfort it's not necessary that'll bring about happiness happiness something completely different you know if it brought about happiness then why is it that people possess more than you and I can even dream of millions in terms of dollars with a die of depression they commit suicide if they're happy why would you want to commit suicide if you're happy why would you be depressed if you're happy why would you want to resort to dog to take your mind off things and alcohol and liquor and women just to take your mind off things if you're happy and you what these merely is a pound happiness is one thing and comfort is another thing these luxuries will bring about comfort not bring about happiness and why do you want these converts you want them for happiness so that you can be happy but it isn't my happiness if you're chasing that dunya for happiness my young friends then surely you should be chasing the Deen of Allah illa Medine because if it's happiness that you're looking for Al mayadeen will give you happiness like no element dunya Allah says in the quran allah busy clearly he taught Ummah in Allahu Allah basically like he taught my anal khalood you need to possess knowledge to act upon it the more knowledge that you act upon the more your heart will be at ease peace content satisfied and happy the more and I swear by Allah you don't have to believe me octa pon what I'm saying if you don't find it to be so then you know what I'm not comfortable in what I'm saying that you can hold my neck on the day of judgment before lunch say he did he lied in the Masjid you can hold my leg possess the knowledge and act upon that knowledge the more you act upon that knowledge the more your heart will be at ease and happy and content and he'll get to a stage where you actually begin to taste the sweetness of Iman sweetness of Iman and when you start tasting the sweetness of Iman then you know what whatever Allah throws your way whatever difficulty Allah throws your way he takes away all your children in one Hadees our one event he takes your wife he takes your mother on the father you know what inspire what Allah throws out your way you'll still have a smile on your face because inside your heart will be happy and content just as when he showers you with blessings you'll be happy and content because it's comes from Allah and the day he puts you through difficulties you'll still be happy because you know this is also come from you Allah this is the level every man that you'll get you know I began with the story of Allah and I'll end with this story why is it that Bilal Milani happy she was persecuted by day and by night why wouldn't he renounce the Kalima why wouldn't he say you know why would any chocolate cali make offer they would persecute him by day and by night was he not human being you know if I were to let's say give you an example I would to first I were to get let's say I take a stick and start beating my friend here how long before he started dancing and sighin you know did to the tune that I'm singing how long before one or two good ones and he'll drop his pants never mind anything else and whatever I asked him he will do because he'll feel the pain and naturally saw so would i but why is it belong they would persecute him by day and by night and tell him cover cover cover but Bernard would say no no ah ha ha then he becomes stronger ah ha ha they ain't they out night in now this is how they would perceive and he would say aha you do what you want I had I had why would he do that let me tell you my inference because you know when they were persecuting Balad he could taste the sweetness of Iman and that sweetness would make him forget the betterment of the punishment give you an example and this time really gonna conclude you're just too kind you've got a good rest in here is it the Kashmiri you're gonna kiss me restaurant here the guy from Sweden's walked in he likes the vindaloo there so he's come all the way from Sweden white guy orders himself a window loo and he sits down and he starts he in this vindaloo chicken vindaloo and obviously vindaloo is hot so he takes our is hankerchief and he's sweating he's got smoke coming out of his ears and he's got you know what coming out of his eyes and nose and he's hitting this vindaloo and every time he's eating he's wiping away this wok coming out of his nose and his eyes and he's a man and you've walked into Kashmiri last year and you've seen this guy on a table on his own Beshara sitting down eating and he's - he's crying you know you thinking yahoo Bashara you know he's eating this vindaloo and he's got smoke coming out of his ears and you know what you can see czar Helen outwardly is that this guy's suffering that's what you can see what is that guy really suffering try taking his vindaloo from him do you think he'll give you his vindaloo though you can see him suffer my young friends that suffering from the outside means nothing to him he can take that a million times but he's not prepared to give that vindaloo for that vindaloo he can tolerate the million times over so my young friends you know balada Habashi from outwardly you saw the sofa you saw the pain and I was paying there but you know from inside he was so happy and so content that you know what what he was feeling that buzz at that time inside his heart what they were doing to him then they could do that a million times over he was not prepared to leave when Allah was giving him in place of this torture and go for sweetness of Iman this is when my young friends even when you don't possess a penny in your pocket you're sleeping rough on the streets of India where the mother earth is your bed the heaven is your blanket and a stone a brick is your pillow you're lying there content happy a billionaire with a smile in your face yeah more happier than the sheiks in Dubai and the kings in their policies and if this is what Allah gives you in the dunya that without a penny in your pocket you feel like a king every morning every evening throughout your life and it's all about happiness you're working in their night for what happiness you want to buy stuff that make you happy and if Allah gives you this in terms of your dunya then what do you think Allah will give you in terms of your ocular in terms of happiness because the things that we're chasing are not going to go with you in terms of you are hella in terms of your art Allah you will receive a thing called paradise money can't buy paradise and what will you receive in paradise and on this new I conclude mullah are you none right well that was the newness Amir well a hotter I like I'll be Russia well no eye has seen what no ear has heard the thought which is not even cross the human mind if you're chasing the Doudna be sciences and there's no nothing wrong with God there's nothing wrong with that whatsoever what I'm saying is if you can see the benefits there then why can't you see the benefits here when the benefits here are a million times far greater than the benefits here the benefits here top and other dunya and even then it doesn't bring happiness the benefits here you live like a king in the dunya and you will live like a king in the India here the benefits are far greater and I'm not asking you to become scholars all I'm saying is learn the Deen of Allah come come give one hour a week

misguided and led astray do it like the prophets like wa salam did with jibra eel and the Sahaba did with rasool allah so now you're some heart aha one two one you know from you know the people are
