Wasting Time - Sheikh Assim Al-Hakeem

you Sheila Rohan r-rahim al-hamdu lillahi rabbil alameen wa sallahu wa salamu alikom abruzzi ausrotten lillahi mean nabina muhammad in voila our Deen Iwasaki humanity day we had ye was in the vicinity he Alejo Medina assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh the title of tonight's lecture is wasting time I hope this is the right title but before we go into wasting time it is quite essential for us to know the value of time because we so often hear people say let's kill time as if time committed the crime and should be executed for that crime time in Islam is very important to the extent that Allah has a gel swore in the Quran with a variations of time Allah Allah said what Guha well fed you wash em Sawako ha ha Allah so L said well lady Aisha when heritage Allah so Allah so jealous war with the forenoon with the dawn with the night and the day and allah azza wajal is the creator of all and therefore he subhana WA Ta'ala has the right to swear with anything he wishes but we as individuals we as slaves and servants can only swear by Allah Azza WA JAL we cannot swear by the prophet alayhi salatu salam though we love him we cannot swear by our fathers we cannot swear by anything that is precious in our lives the only thing that we can swear with or by a Allah and his beautiful names and attributes and not only that allah azza wajal swore by time itself when he said well awesome and what did Allah say elsewhere but for it reads afterwards in Ensenada the ocean the whole of humanity are in great loss except those who fulfill the four qualities or characteristics mentioned in the surah why is the whole of humanity in great loss simply because they have lost the meaning and the use of time and whoever loses these days these months these years whoever loses time then he is in loss because this is your capital any trade you go in you must have a capital and our capital in life is our time and the majority of us I will not say the majority of the people because usually when giving an advice I look at those who are to my left and to my right and I never look at myself the majority of us here are in great heedlessness are in great rough flat and this is what allah azzawajal described in the Quran by saying ya lamu neva here on Mineral Hyatt in dunya whoa ho I need a Fiat a home laughs you don't they know only the outside appearance of life of the world and they are heedless of the Hereafter and that is why we never think or evaluate things in the perspective that affects the Hereafter when we look and evaluate something we evaluate it on materialistic basis how much it's going to benefit me how much real am I gonna gain more what is it what did in it for me the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said in an authentic hadith narrated by Bukhari and other narrators nimittani Malibu non Fatima kathira - ah so hot well follow that there are two favors there are two blessings from Allah Azza WA JAL upon the humans that they or many people do not make the most of and thus lose out what are they good health and free time good health and free time what is the word used by the Prophet Ali Salim Malu boon and it stems from Al Robin and we have the day or Yom at talha wooden we have a surah in the Quran right by the name of terrible a lot of the brothers saying there is there is a surah but maybe it's not a famous one that's why we can't ya know the name we usually know only Pudwill our hospital fell apart of the nasa and we make mistakes but other than that we don't know no there is a surah and what is yo muta robin it's the day where people find that they have lost why Robin in Islam is forbidden and this is when you buy something that costs much less than what you pain or when you sell something way less than what it is actually valued at so the Prophet is telling us that our free time I'm not going to take about health I'm not going to talk about health I'm going to talk about free time the Prophet is telling us a lesson the free time that we have is a favour it's an Emer it's a blessing yet we are fooled one way or the other for not utilizing it and a lot of the Muslims as you see they waste time on not that's beneficial for them and if you evaluate now it's 8:30 almost if you evaluate what you have done since morning till today what would you find in your record on the day of judgment how many soap operas it's not my business how many movies how many songs how many prayers you've missed how many of car you've missed all of this is has nothing to do with me this is something that you should evaluate as we will come to see insha Allah the Prophet tells us at a solid restaurant for those who are heedless for those who forget and we all do forget he says Salah Lahari when you sell them the son of Adam will not be dismissed from before his Lord on the day of resurrection until he's been questioned about five things so am I going to be questioned on the day of judgment I am shared what do you mean yes everyone is going to be questioned even the messengers and the prophets not either him or the messengers and prophets of Allah are going to be questioned yes but their question is different than ours Allah will ask and interrogate those whom these messengers were sent to and Allah would interrogate the messengers themself about the response so even the messengers will be questioned each and every one of us the Prophet tells us Allison will not move from in front of Allah Allah on the day of resurrection until he's asked what are the questions the Prophet says Alice awesome his life and how he spent it if you're 60 years of age if you're 70 years of age if you come to a person like me almost there I'm almost 50 years of age I am 50 not almost when someone asks me what about your previous years how do you feel wallahi as if it was yesterday I can yanny relate to that so 50 years of sin was was fun but nothing remains except the memory and the punishment on the day of judgement yet ask those who have been praying and going for Imran going for Elgin doing Dawa and making Vika and reciting the Quran fifty years has gone and nothing remains except the reward you evaluate the Prophet says Allah his salat wa salam his life and how he spent it his youth and how he used it if you are a bodybuilder if you are strong you know you do MMA much mixed martial arts if you are masala jiu-jitsu fighter if you Brazilian or even Taiwanese who cares if you would do whatever you want no problem but you're going to be asked about your health what did you do how did you spend it how did you utilize your youth when you were 20 were you among those who used to pray taraweeh and qiyam al alien ramadan 3-4 hours no I was in now when you're 50 or 60 don't you regret this yes what I regret it what Salafi no it's not you might be asked this is a question you have to prepare an answer for and the Prophet says awesome his wealth and how he earned it and in what did he spend it on so a lot of the Muslims their earnings is from Hara clear Haram income yet masha'Allah masha'Allah when they go to a restaurant is the meat halal or not but they're consuming RIBA they are stealing money they are taking bribes it's an issue of dispute amongst words but chicken it has to be Helen and wisest of all I'm not going to eat it so people are crazy even if you're earning is Herod assume all of your money Masha Allah is from halal income you work with your own hands and you get halal money the question would be where did you spend it wallah I spent it on a satellite dish so that I can get hanky-panky movies masha'allah internet connection I spent it on going to beaches and to places that Allah does not permit me to go to you're going to be asked so prepared the answer from now yeah this is something that is inevitable as the Prophet said alehissalaam sir and then he said and how he acted upon what he acquired of knowledge masha'Allah you find brothers who are knowledgeable in Islam they know the difference of opinions and this and that they wrote the ruling they know how to get the information what did they do about it did they act or was it only something rhetorical something that is verbally said but not acted upon this is something you're going to know on the day of judgment analyze Dajjal would ask you about so whoever evaluates his life he would know that he has done a lot of wrong to himself and whoever believes in Allah who's ever considered to be a good practicing Muslim he value eights or values time a good Muslim always values time why because he knows that there is a Day of Resurrection in Allah would ask you about every single thing not a small or Lord every single thing I saw Allah wanna sue allah azzawajal has calculated it has registered has recorded it but they have forgotten it so you will come on the day of judgment and you'll find so many things to answer for and you can't remember I did this so many sins we do in the day and the night and we completely forget or make ourselves to forget so that we won't feel bad about it Allah so Allah tells us in the Quran after a symptom and halakha now from a bethen one a chameleon Allah tojon this is one of the beautiful ayahs of the Quran but it is a one of the most scary verse of the Quran one small eye Allah says in the Quran did you think that we had created you in play without any purpose and that you would not be brought back to us that you would not be brought back to us whatever you do do it nothing enjoy your life life is short make the best of it enjoy it but wait until you come on the day of judgement wallahi every single thing you've done you're going to be asked upon every single thing small or big do whatever you want this is a dire warning from allah azza wajal that this life is not funfair it's not for us to play and to leave the believer and i pray to allah that he makes all of us among these believers will be called in the day of resurrection enter gender and this is a reward because of what you have forwarded because of what you had done and Allah Allah may Allah make us all about among those the kaffir or the sinner thinks otherwise and that is why each and every sinner and kafir would ask Allah Azza WA JAL the chance to be able to return to this dunya and offer good deeds when death comes to them and when they stand before Allah and while they are in hell three occasions Allah Allah says in the Quran until when death comes to one of them he says my Lord sent me back so that I may do good in which I have left is there any possibility no Subhan Allah those who are martyred in the sight of Allah in the course of Allah they also call for the same request and that is send us back but why to die again in the cause of Allah and then to die again in the cause of Allah 10 times analyzer L tells them that this is not possible no one goes back the kafir sent me back so that may be seized even certain in the ayah it says maybe I will do something better so even that even at the time of death he is not certain Elijah tells us in another location and if you only could see when the mujrimun when those wrong-doers shall hang their heads before their lord saying our lord we have now seen and heard so send us back another time this is when they stand in front of a large hotel send us back will you say this I don't know will I no no I hope not so we have the time and we have the ability to do well now before death comes to us and finally Allah soldier says about those who are in Hell therein they will cry our Lord bring us out we shall do righteous good deeds not that we used to do so even in hell and Elijah tells them haven't I prolonged your life and you could have done whatever you wanted didn't my warning come to you what you are a community what is the warning some interpreters say it is the white hair you've got white hair what are you waiting for have you ever seen someone with white hair goes black again yes if he dies it it goes black again but again you're not allowed to dye it in black in Islam a Muslim is forbidden to die in black use any color this is not our topic this is the warning as interpreters say some interpreters say no the warning is the Koran the third say no it is the Prophet himself alayhi salat awesome there are so many warnings that Allah sends to us but we're heedless so many times I'm astonished by people when they put a cigarette in their mouth you know they put it in an angle it looks Wow sophisticated cool and the guy goes with the lighter and it's not working he does it 12 times 1020 times it's not working yeah he Allah is giving you a warning accepted Hamas it's not good for you he goes begging people yes could you have a light you have a light yeah he begs people Subhan Allah and they reject him they don't smoke and he's adamant look how Shaitaan controls us and this is one sinner cigarette if you cascaded to all other sins may Allah have mercy on us this life is a life of work this life is a life of fulfilling Allah's Commandments to us on the Hereafter there is no work there are no Commandments there are no forms of worship that you're obliged to do it comes from within you do it for the sake of Allah praising him glorifying him and that is why we never settle in this life expats they travel from one country to the other what do they do I I never seen an expert I come from Saudi Arabia Saudi I've never seen an expert coming and buying a house and buying a piece of land and starting to cultivate Allah a farm buying a farm trying to work beside it's against the law but you would not find people doing this why because I'm here for five ten years I'm going back to my country so I'm building my house in my country Muslims are like this are we here to stay and if you ask anyone and you even the sinful people okay how long do you wish to live and this is not a life TV this is in Allah's hand I might die tomorrow I might there today okay but you're sinning yes but I may not die in hand Rudi's if you go to someone who's like me fifty years of age harsher how long would you reckon you're gonna live Allah the prophet says the ages of my Ummah is between 60 and 70 so if I'm a liar each 6061 hamton I enjoyed life this is good for me if wallahi longer may Allah grant us all health and wealth and good deeds and if you go to someone who's seventy years of age uncle how long do you think you're going to live well I yeah yeah any I heard that one of my cousins in my country he's 90 years of age so happily if I reach 90 okay if you go to his cousin uncle how long do you think you got live where am i shun I'm 90 years old but no lived ninety nine hundred and fifty years so yeah okay nobody is sick of this dunya we want to live and the longer we get older the roots are further in the ground it's very difficult to take us out a true believer is always on the go his bag is packed whenever they tell him this is your ticket this is your boarding pass I'll travel this is his objective not to live in this life his objective is to go to the hereafter and find his house there his palace there people come and look at your house here he there's a window missing he should have put some decoration here why should I I'm decorating my house in heaven inshallah in paradise this is how you should act behave and feel that is why the prophet sallallaahu are they well you seldom grabbed even Omer by the shoulders and said config dunya canonical re l have your savvy be in this life as if you are a stranger or a passerby when someone passes by like me I'm here for 4 days only I'm not asking about the price of lands I should Prince here are very high which is lucrative for me to think to buy an apartment and rent it but again this is not a good opportunity to discuss business nevertheless I'm a I'm a passerby so I stay at a hotel and I travel I leave I'm not going to stay here forever and this is how a proper Muslim do in this life get ready pack your bag furnish the house or the palace or the mansion in paradise the Prophet said adding salat wa salam make the most of five things before five others and this shows you the value of time make the most of life before your death because once you die you've heard what that people said send me back you don't have to ask this you're here now let's see what you do health before sickness so many people have heard this personally from people who are now unable to pray and prostrate on the floor so many old people righteous masha'Allah if you ask them they're 70 80 is problem with the knees they can't go to the ground what is the most thing you miss well like all of them say putting my forehead on the ground for a large ocean and they cry one of the brothers cried is one of the uncles cried when saying this just because he cannot prostrate how many do you know do not pray at all Muslims my identity how many and when you tell them I pray what do they say and so do we call them nowhere I don't know what do you call the beer nut ball where you empower pray for me and go to hell this is what they usually say they mock they make fun so make the best of or the most of your health before your illness before your sickness three times before becoming busy I remember when I was in my twenties I had nothing to do I had one wife one child and the whole world in front of me none the day is the same 24 hours but there isn't enough I wish it was 48 I don't have time for the kids for the wives for the business for make a putting the bread on the table for their waffle traveling for sports for things that I want to do for visiting my relatives next of kin my in-laws time is not enough so I wish but it's too late this wish is not possible anymore and the Prophet goes on to say allahís aloud was salam your youth before old age and we've gone through this and your wealth before your poverty you save money in the bank hamed illa some of this money allocated for charity give it to the poor ah yes but there is a sealing I'd like to reach okay trust me use your money in charity this will make your money grow but if you don't and it's all gone then you would say I wish and this is not the time for it but Hassan Hassan Al Basri one of the great Abilene says o son of Adam you are merely a number of days every time a day goes by some of you is gone away and this is logical you know when so many times we rush things we Allah when is when someone going to come why do you want summer I want to the holidays the holidays come the new year starts you go to school you go to work what is your objective the next summer vacation and time flies time flies but we don't value this time that flies and every day you take a paper from the calendar this is part of you is gone even masud may allah be pleased with him said I abhor I hate to see someone doing nothing doing nothing neither in dunya things that benefit him yahi I've seen so many people just sitting there looking at the ceiling doing nothing I've seen people sitting with five or six remote controls not one or two five or six changing channels and staying until Fajar one of my daughter's was telling me last week that she had a friend that spent 19 hours a day on the internet for hours of sleep 19 hours and I said this is not possible she says daddy she wakes on the Internet she eats on the Internet she takes the internet to the bathroom she does everything on 19 hours doing what Subhan Allah servin my soul says I abhor I hate to see someone doing nothing neither for the benefit of his dunya nor for the benefit of his after yes if you don't want to pray if you don't want to make dhikr do something for the dunya increase your income learn a handicraft learn something that benefits you in the dunya rather than just wasting your time or Nothing and has an air bus free again tells us that I've met people and he's talking about the Companions because he's from the Tiberi he said I met people who were so protective on their time more than their wealth money didn't happen Tina why because when an hour of your life goes by it will never come back will it can you say that ah-hey wallahi the five hours the previous five hours were not that good I'd like to erase it delete it or cut and paste and do it again no what about the money if you lose the money if you waste the money if you spend the money Allah dhul Jalal will grant you something more so don't you ever think of money equals time time is more valuable and so many times I I hope I'm not advertising for supermarkets so many times I go to the supermarkets that charge me 20 or 30 percent more than other downtown stores just to save time because I know if I go to turn town the vegetables is different than the fishery is different than the the butcher's is different than the groceries and this consumes time so I'd rather go to one place in an hour collect everything pay a little bit more just to save time plus I'm lazy time is gold no no this is an understatement time is more valuable than gold because we said that gold can come and go time can only go and if you look at the profits time is a lot o sanam was he utilizing his time or did he have leisure time in free time and Subhan Allah the prophet alayhi salatu was-salam in his gathering the companions say that we use to calculate him saying as subhana wa ta'ala wa to relate 70 times while he's sitting and and the prophet said about himself a little oh people ask Allah to forgive you and seek or repent to Allah and asking for forgiveness because I repent to Allah and seek his forgiveness during the day a hundred times now you ask yourself when was the last time you said a stubble for Allah from the heart after Salah we texting the brothers after Salah they're making a car and they're texting what are you doing you should be utilizing the time I have to you know instead of just wasting my time - Subhan Allah Subhan Allah I sent a text messages and do this what is this the Prophet used to utilize his time sallallahu alayhi wa sallam the Companions if we go and open this subject it will take us until fajar but these are only bullet points Abu Hurairah may Allah be pleased with him he accepted Islam on the seventh year of hijra which means that he accompanied the Prophet Iran for three and a half years almost yet he narrated the majority of the hadith why because the Prophet supplicated make made dua for him and he asked him you know the hadith after the death of the Prophet Ali Salim what did Abu Hurairah do he used to divide the time the night time into three divisions of three parts the first part after Isha until the first third is over he used to memorize and study the hadith of the Prophet Aristotle Sunnah because we all know that he did not write he only kept it in his memory in and and the tablet used to test him they asked him a question and they come after one year and ask him about the same hadith and not a single letter is changed so the first third he used to study the hadith of the Prophet al salam the second third he used to sleep the third third which is before budget he used to pray night prayer and in his biography he had a brother and a mother and they used to divide the night into three parts each one takes 1/3 to pray night prayer so that the whole house there would be someone during the night praying yeah he well I this is something that makes us feel ashamed who among us wakes his wife for night prayer to pray 2 rakaats with him there are from doula don't raise your hands on I know mashallah inshallah the majority of you are like this but it's a shame that the Muslims don't a practice is Sunnah the Prophet says if you pray with your wife 2 rakaats Allah would record you among the deck in a logic a theatre is accurate those who remember Allah a lot males and females two rakahs how long will it take our standards you know because nobody's watching it's night we want to go back to bed takes three minutes yes they make it 10 minutes it's nothing but Allah would record you this nobody does this why I have worked tomorrow ok but you spend the night until 1 or 2 o'clock in a wedding inside you I don't know about you guys in Pathan do you have late weddings as well in Saudi they serve the food at 1:00 a.m. what is this well I I got four of my daughters married at hamdulillah at each and every one EEMA I'd write 9:30 is to be served or maximum ten o'clock and if you don't if you you're late you're not going to find food people come at quarter to 11:00 nobody's there tough luck I put it on the card why utilize your time and if you sit for three or four minutes of hours what will you do thicker of course we're making dhikr subhanAllah I'm to learn more Berlin you've got a bad bite you got about my friend did this my neighbor did this my ruler did this my ambassador did this myself and did this backbiting backbiting and the best of them would talk about footballers yeah this donkey he could not score and this ape could not defend his goal Canela dead Muslim Jerry what are you doing no no no the footballers okay so do we utilize our Knights no we don't even generate poverty do not mean jarir al-tabari everything is you know German jarir al-tabari the compiler of the taxi the greatest of seer of the Koran he asked his companions do you feel fit to write that obscene of the Quran and should yes how many pages he's at 30,000 so what 50,000 you crazy we will die before doing it how la ilaha illa billah so he wrote it in 3000 pages only the one we have and then he told them do you feel fit to write the history of mankind and he said and they said how many pages hit three thirty thousand should come on this is too much and he said la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah there are no aspiration there is no him man in the the chests of men even general poverty they've calculated his books that he had written and divided it on the time he lived of course after reaching the age of puberty 15 years until the date he died and they found out that he used to write on average 40 pages a day when it is a date when did he read what time did he give Bruce in the demoscene fatwa his family a lot less their time because they works for Allah so many times you find people working so hard and having no blessing in their time and people working so little yet Allah blesses their time isn't that true do you find this among you that among those you know you find them blessed with being able to utilize the time Abu Bakr Siddiq may Allah be pleased with him after fajar prayer the Prophet looked after Federer what is the beginning of the day budget who among you is fasting today Abu Bakr says I who among you fed a poor person a Booker says I who among you visited a sick person ibaka said I who among you followed a funeral until it was buried Abu Bakr said I yes what were you doing if you don't you don't get in enough sleep yes you know you don't go to work that's why they don't didn't go to work he was one of the richest businessmen and six of the ten heaven-bound accepted Islam on his hands so don't tell me he didn't go to work he went to work and he knew how to utilize the time the Prophet said whoever does these four things in a day will enter Jannah from any of the eight gates he wishes fast Monday I know people do this they fast Mondays and Thursdays and in the daytime they look for peasants or poor people and they buy them we have it inside the day we don't have it here you know they can I'm not gonna advertise that everybody says Shh please bring me one with you anyhow and they buy ten reals give it to a poor person and then they go to a Masjid next to a cemetery where people usually pray funeral prayers ahara rasa and they will find in saudi we go to enjoy democra in maqam 1510 every every Salah so humbly we get a lot of good rewards and then they visit a private or a local hospital and they enter randomly of course the same sex don't let their sisters know enter only brothers and visit a sick person and supplicate to him and give him a booklet or Huntelaar for things done in a day and they do this every week so many things you can do to enter Jannah but you're not the one who's refusing to do this a lot of us when you talk to them ah hey isn't it time he would say inshallah and the Arabs are known for saying in Charlotte that's why the Westerners when they hear us say inshallah snow please don't say in Shaba say you will do it yeah okay tomorrow I will come in Charlotte snow you Saudis you Arabs when you say inshallah meaning I'm not God coming but this is this is wrong and this shows how bad we are when it comes to practicing Islam when we when it comes to giving an impression to the non-muslims a lot of the Muslims if you okay what are you going to quit smoking Rama bana Sharma okay ot sister when are you gonna wear the hijab Oh after the Shama I perform Hajj I know a brother will lie it's been 15 years and he's smoking and he's mashallah has the beard he has so much love for Islam but he smokes and every time 15 years ago I asked him this question he said in sha allah two months from today is Rama bond I will quit and every time I see him I tell him but on the band did not come yet he says smokes so this is one of this the traps of Shaytan that he always tells you there is time there is time yeah a lot of them would say inshallah when I reach 14 ask everyone who is over 40 ha said I was talking about 40 years in the hizzy now I'm in the Gregorian and if you ask him you know this is the Chinese years you know the Chinese years are much longer so I don't know when I will reach 40 somehow Aman what is this every time Shaytan tells them delay postpone not knowing that the countdown has started when when did the countdown start the day you were born your clock is ticking but you don't know when it will stop say no a shame I'm still young I'm 16 I know a lot of 16 years old who died once there is no I'm a footballer I think a footballer or know the the swimmer huh he was a gold medalist he died last week 21 years of age he says he's an Olympic a gold medallist swimming your house strong and healthy can you be more than that and he died of what a heart attack and he was discovered half in the top and half outside us when death comes it comes it doesn't knock any doors it just come comes in and claims what Allah soldier tells him and if you know that the countdown has started and your clock is ticking ask yourself when was it the last time you've missed such a prayer with the congregation or on time time here is fudge it is 3:30 approximately much always with you to us it's quite early we're an hour behind you but I asked this question to one of the brothers in UK I was in a chore so I the guy was with me and I said mashallah when was the last this is not interrogation huh I'm giving him a lousy harm his uncle and then and then this is shocking nowadays everybody comes to see uncle uncle what uncle you're stopped I'm still young but people preserve me as an uncle and have to adhere to that so I was just giving advice to the brother and I say hey when was the last time you missed fajar prayer in JAMA in congregation he said asked me when was the last time I prayed I was shocked the guy's beard was this long and he's you know involved in that one he what do you mean said well a chef I spent like all of my night preparing leaflets and doing banners and going to centers and announcing your lectures and I sleep at 2:00 a.m. so I miss for sure and I said all of this is in vain all your work is in vain because you would not become or get closer to Allah doing anything except or more beloved to Allah than the obligatory prayers the follower so you have a problem you ask yourself why where does my time go does it go in watching movies and soap operas a lot of the Muslims would say yes unfortunately a lot of the Muslims and a brother with mashallah practicing looks practicing short trousers in one European country I'm not going to call it he was asking me a sheikh who lies upon Allah we were talking is it did you see hangover hmm said what are you talking about see okay the movie is very funny but it has you know good morals and a good advice for the Muslim yes and I said okay is it hard to watch movies and then the guy came back to his senses whoops I'm talking to the wrong guy this is this is halal Haram is going to behead me now seriously we have gone so far away from the basics even the basics Muslims don't adhere to they know only a few things Halas I'm a practicing Muslim I can do anything else watching movies is it Helen is it you have doubts watching women on TV yes yes it's not beautiful if she's beautiful it's Haram is not beautiful it's a lot what is this watching soap operas listening to music all of this is basics and any Muslim from outside with tension power is no illogical tells us to lower our gate so all of this is Haram so where do you spend your time in some of the brothers after raesha you sure please make the lecture a little bit quicker why so why yeah there is something what there's something I'd like to see on TV so anyone you want me to wrap it up so that you can go and not be late for your show so Hanuma do you spend your time in video games a lot of the young youth you know video games you play video games if it's hella half an hour a day okay refresh but to spend like eight hours putting the headsets and talking to someone in America in Australia yes do this do that and jumping and breaking the chairs or the throwing the councils and I know a lot of the Muslims do this do you spend your time on the internet well lie I was once in a European country I'm not making this up I was going from one city to the other to give a lecture and a sister calls and says that my husband does this and that he gives his back to the wall and he opens the laptop and puts the headsets and works until 2 or 3 a.m. after a shanty and he's chatting he's talking and I can tell that anywhere you never we boys huh we have a chat with a with poison and laugh do we do you communicate and and the Internet and laugh my wife always says when I answer a mobile say I know that if the caller is a man or a female so how do you know that she said when you say why they come salaam wa rahmat allah this is a female and you see naam this is a man I don't know this is what she claims but it might be true it's it's human nature huh so the sister was telling me that my husband does this in that and I was saying that this is Haram she said can you give him advice and I said yes I will Hashanah if I meet him she said share his next to you in the car I was I was shocked I looked next to me the Prophet was very active in down work but this happens huh we all have a dark side we all like the moon we all have a dark side but Allah social gnosis so you have to know where am I wasting my time in some of the brothers yeah they are Beach Boys not in the band and if they love to go to the beaches spend six hours in in Judah where I come from people love to fish so they go Wednesday evening and they come Friday evening no solid room wanna praying on the boat and they just yeah I go to the fishery save your time pay hundred reals more and get all the fish and just pretend that you've got got a good guy mashallah bundle some of the people spend the time on off-roading four-wheel drives to the desert camping for 3 4 hour of days or so on some of them spend their time in watching wrestling and I was shocked a brother came I don't run 17 years of age and asked me about someone I said I sorry I don't know him he should know this a great wrestler and so on and he said what is this sign language so no sure this is his his move you wrestle with people doing this I could be the strongest man he said no no no so I know I did this in European country in a machine and I did this and everybody laughed meaning everybody watches this this is awkward I think you've seen the outfit they wear yeah I need a man would not wear this to his wife let alone wear it in you looking at our ah what is this said no no no I watch UFC or MMA or okay our exposed yeah yeah but we don't look then why'd you turn it on to begin with so a lot of us they have a problem with the definition of a Dada what is a bad we all know the definition so I'm not going to go into it what is the purpose of our creation to worship Allah are you worshiping Allah in your free time yes yes one hour for Allah one hour for myself this is because our for yourself is not for yourself it's for Shaitaan so you have a split personality now you're not your practicing Muslim but you know dr. Jekyll and mr. Hyde you have a split personality with the people yes Jessica wahoo hi Ron even if you play football yeah he passed the ball just like a la high-ranked if you're running up after your opponent fear Allah it tequila give me the ball what is this and now much I love all the football teams are doing this whenever they score what do they do they prostrate so you're the show called masha'Allah thematical yeah you didn't pre-market any other things what are you doing well I say it looks nice everybody's doing it so Subhan Allah we have a problem we cannot become the rulers of this world again as Muslims unless we learn how to balance how to balance our life how to divide our time in a fashion that allah azza wajal is pleased with as Muslims we always have to give the priority to priority to allah azza wajal to Islam so if there is a conflict my Islam or my work my Islam or my wife my Islam or my desires and my hobbies what do I put forward my Islam Allah social says in the Quran but seek with that wealth which Allah has bestowed on you the home of the hereafter and forget not your portion of legal enjoyment in this world so the priority is for the Hereafter yeah this does this mean I have to stay in the message 24/7 wearing a long bead with 1000 beads in it saying holla holla holla holla holla I used to have a 1994 Jim's GMC Suburban and this is a car that the Moto where the the people of haya usually right in and mashallah even that car remembers Allah will you turn it on lalalalala so people used to make jokes about this so this does this Islam tells what you do this do I have to sit in the message saying Allah Allah Allah no this is an elevated 'no it's not permissible for you to see but is it what Allah wants me to do know the definition of a bada is far greater than this you can do it either by drinking water by drinking tea you can have intimacy with your wife and this would be a better you could feed your children you go to the grocery and bring big bags of food and this is a badda this is charity so it can go on and on the most important thing is that you utilize your time if it's not for Allah because you need time off then make it for something that benefits you I know brothers who are doing well like you I was shocked I met a brother who's very famous Derek in UK and I was shocked to know all that he has for PhDs and he's ten years younger than me and he's working on his fist PhD but you don't have time and he's so active in that wa he's so active in publication he's so active in so many things I a life in this small next to him but Allah blessed his time he knows how to balance time now you ask yourself what did you do for the sake of Allah zone what did you do for the sake of Darwin when you go to the jungles of Africa and see the missionaries who are in their early 20s finished college going they're spending 17 years 20 years of their time giving the order falsehood with air conditioning masha'Allah Malak Allah lights cameras action no nobody knows their existence they're in the jungles of Africa the mosquitoes with heat with a life that we could not tolerate yet they're doing it for what they believe what did you do ok shake I'm traveling tomorrow to African come down don't be too aggressive think of your time of your capabilities of your abilities you have the ultimate truth no one can doubt this your Islam is the ultimate truth but work for it and each and every one of us could find a window of opportunity to help Islam allah azza wajal is the most forgiving in the most generous your time can be utilized by saying so little and getting so much reward subhanAllah will be hemmed in 100 times what does it do to you what does it do if you say subhanAllah be hamd it a hundred times what does it do to you forgive all of your sins even if they are as many as the foam of the sea 100 times wallah it does not take more than three and a half minutes try it from walking from the gates tonight each other so I can get so I can get the reward Sharla try it when you walk out to your car say subhanAllah hummus and mob Hamlet subhanAllah Hamdi 100 times Allah forgive your sins I will get that large inshallah but you will get some don't worry utilize your time the Prophet tells us at least a lot o Sam that if you want to plant a palm tree or a a tree in paradise say la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah this is absolute huh with the intention of one Hamas it's one so I can say a thousand times and I have a garden a big farm a big plot of land because I'm saying so many however the poet La Bella so little but imagine I remember one of my relatives he passed away may Allah have mercy on his soul he was 6 years of age a healthy fit he went to bed woke up at 7 o'clock his wife woke him up he said he was a manager I don't feel like going to work early I'm gonna go at 9 o'clock so he went back to sleep she came at 11 o'clock he was still asleep shook him he was long dead he died this brother may Allah have mercy on his soul he's a cousin of mine he when I was young I used to whistle a lot young young boy hearing a mule a song here or there just repeating it by whistling she used to listen to music I was young do you think I was born with a beard I didn't ask my mother but I don't think that I was born with a beard so whatever he used to hear me whistle what would he say he said if he says subhanAllah Hamdi would it make your records heavy or lighter and whenever I remember this if I'm until today whistling I would say subhanAllah the guy is dead and still accredited to him I am exempted from whistling and I'm making dhikr to Allah Azza WA JAL there are so many ways that you can utilize your time coming to the Masjid this is one of the best ways of utilizing your time the Prophet tells us a little at some high eurocom the best among you is those who learn the Quran and teach it when was the last time you were with a circle that teaches the Quran or you were a teacher of Quran 2 verses imagine you come to the Masjid and one-to-one with a friend with a brother and learn to is two vases the Prophet says that is some to his companions who are among you does not want to go to that area which is close to the message it and come back with one of the most precious and valuable to camels and the companion said will I prophet of Allah each one of us doing nothing just go and bring two camels and the Prophet said yes and said all of us love this the Prophet said by Allah if you come to the Masjid and teach or learn two verses of the Quran it is better for you than two camels of them among the most valuable and precious camels and if you teach or learn three then you will get three F for then you will get four utilize your time do something for your acura not quit your job and sit back no there are so many things you can do as a Muslim to utilize real time help a widow woman or an orphan support them provide for them take care of them give them what you the non-muslims how many non-muslims embrace Islam on your hands inside you usually I tell them how many non-muslims how many Muslims rejected Islam because of you seriously we have big issues Muslims and Saudis but that is all of us we have our shortcomings but we have to make up for it so how many as expats or batteries or Saudis how many Muslim how many people except in Islam because of you well Lauren I think why I'm still learning are here 90 years old how until when you're going to learn yes they only one verse you give only when that one when you go into in the cab with a non-muslim driver what do you do nothing are showing but an important person I don't speak with him you decided to speak with him which country are you from what's your religion why this is this throw something that would affect him maybe not this month maybe not this year in few years time everyone goes in with him would give him the same that were eventually he will accept Islam you can do a lot of volunteer work in non-muslim countries they have the volunteers doing the CSR corporate social responsibility so what are you doing for Islam when was the last time you saw something a particle in front of you and you picked it and you put it in your pocket this what all the self you should do albahari Malik they used to put it in their sleeves and they used to try their best people not seeing them because they wanted this to be for the sake of Allah not like me I did showing off do it for the sake of allah azza wajal so what was the last time you clean the masquerade you went to the bar to go to the toilets of the master isn't clean they did something for the community re not necessarily for the mention if you're a a person with with engineering degree or mathematics when was the last time you came to the message that said to the youngsters listen next week is exams anyone of you needs help I'll be there I'm devoting my time between Maghrib and Isha for any questions I will solve it for you yeah this is for who for the sake of Allah well last year between mother live in Asia there is a tailless turnout I have to watch it it's girls but I usually a brother came to me after German saying chef is it permissible to watch tennis and basketball and volleyball games and matches and a teller said problem via him if their basketball is okay because they're wearing long pants or shorts or whatever so no no I'm talking about females after the drama a lot the guy came to me after my football I'm giving the whole time to a mom and he's coming to it and I look at the
