Ali Dawah - A MESSAGE TO BROTHER ALEEM AKA LORD ALEEM

00:00:00.000 As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu brothers and sisters and dear friends hope you

00:00:28.480 guys are doing well um obviously we're going to talk about what this video is and what the purpose

00:00:33.360 is behind it uh before we get into that and brother uh imran is going to be sharing with us

00:00:37.600 a verse in the quran and going into the tafsir a bit from um ibn kathir yeah so inshallah he's

00:00:43.280 going to explain to us in detail how to find the true happiness that our hearts yearn for

00:00:47.600 so obviously this message is to brother uh aleem uh as you guys know him you know he likes his cars

00:00:52.640 etc you know uh mashallah you know he's got really nice cars you know may allah bless him and inshallah

00:00:57.280 that wealth is for the good purpose of his instead of uh bad you know because obviously allah gives

00:01:01.360 uh wealth to everybody but it doesn't mean it's for the good so inshallah is for his good and his

00:01:05.200 family um now brothers and sisters you need to understand that every single one of us are created

00:01:10.640 in a way where we yearn for something and some of us think that happiness lies with cars money girls

00:01:17.520 houses whatever it may be and personally myself coming back from that jahiliya days this is what i

00:01:22.480 used to search for and i thought this was happiness and i did chase it only that allah guided me and

00:01:27.120 made me realize that these kind of things will never make you happy it just it just won't make

00:01:31.360 you happy you know even though i didn't drive as much as nice cars as brother aleem you know i had

00:01:35.520 my little voxor corsa but again i did yeah you know it still it did not make me happy no matter what it

00:01:40.880 was no matter what car i had so obviously that's why me and brother imran i spoke to him in the morning

00:01:44.160 and i said aki you know i saw the instagram of the brother and he looked like he's a bit upset and you

00:01:48.720 know we all go through these stages in life as well so i thought you know what let's do a brotherly

00:01:52.800 message because obviously you need to understand you're a muslim we're muslim do you get it you

00:01:55.760 know if you know if you're going through something we should be there to help you inshallah so i

00:01:59.200 discussed with imran imran you know went for the quran found some amazing verses so that's about it

00:02:03.680 from me and inshallah brother aleem this is for you inshallah akim may allah bless you inshallah i'm

00:02:08.160 going to give it straight to brother imran and he's going to share with you the ayah in the quran inshallah

00:02:11.840 alhamdulillah wassalatu wassalamu ala rasool illahi sallallahu alayhi wassalam amma ba'd

00:02:18.080 assalamu alaykum brother i want to talk to you directly inshallah ta'ala

00:02:21.440 that he always does with everybody masha'allah yeah

00:02:23.600 akhi kareem um basically first and foremost this is not coming from a place of hate in any way shape

00:02:29.920 or form it's coming from a sincere place the prophet sallallahu alayhi wassalam said

00:02:34.720 this religion is advice so i'm just coming at you from a perspective of brother i see you know on your

00:02:40.480 instagram you was down you're a bit confused you don't really have focus in your life you said

00:02:44.080 you're going through depression and i just want to reach out to you and just share something with

00:02:48.080 you that i'm confident if you listen to me bro it will give you that clarity and eradicate that

00:02:53.360 depression it will show you how to rather eradicate that depression in surah ahli imran allah subhanahu wa

00:02:59.680 ta'ala says allah talks about a group of things that human beings naturally desire understand it's

00:03:07.360 natural it's not bad it's not wrong to desire any of these things and allah's affirming that for us

00:03:12.320 so some of these things and these are the main things that we really do desire allah says

00:03:27.520 allah says that we have placed inside of the human being

00:03:30.880 zuyi and i didn't nurse inside humans the desire for women because let's be real 0.99

00:03:38.800 men like women women like men right you desire each other it's like one of the biggest desires out

00:03:43.360 there right then upon that allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says also the holding of gold and silver now gold

00:03:48.080 and silver that time to us means money cash you like money that was their currency we need to start in

00:03:55.120 peace but then allah says something interesting he said he said and very fully bred horses

00:04:03.120 like top of the range horses my brothers and sisters by extension who are listening what is the

00:04:09.040 equivalent of full nice bred horses today because you get horses then you get the fully bred ones

00:04:16.160 like ferraris maybe exactly exactly they remember horses were a means of transport for them the

00:04:25.120 the ones that allah is talking about in this ayah khayla al musawwamati these are the ones that are the

00:04:30.000 super cars of today and then allah said wal an'ami wal harth which is basically today's equivalent of

00:04:35.280 businesses nine to five a good job and a nice income a nice career in other words so akhi allah's affirming

00:04:42.160 for us that he put and allah's saying he did this he put inside you and me the desire for women the

00:04:47.840 desire for wealth the desire for nice cars and a really good career but then allah said

00:04:55.440 now listen this is the one the one who himself gave this inside of you now tells you about it

00:05:00.720 you know what this is this is just from the provision of this worldly life

00:05:11.600 what's about to come exactly yeah allah's saying this is just all of this these big women cars all 1.00

00:05:16.800 these things it's just it's just the worldly life but with allah in the law but what allah has for you

00:05:25.680 with him that's not in this world what allah has for you with him is even better if i was setting

00:05:31.600 phones you came to me to acquire this phone and i told you bro i made this phone i sell this phone

00:05:38.480 i know this phone guess what it's a rubbish phone are you gonna buy it no because the one who created

00:05:44.080 the phone the manufacturer of the phone is telling you akhi this phone is a waste of time don't purchase

00:05:48.000 this phone you're gonna be like yo okay i mean you're losing business but i'm not about to buy this

00:05:53.600 phone the same with akhi the one who created this uh who created a woman who created this

00:05:58.480 this super powerful rides and cars he created a mind that manufactured these rides who created wealth

00:06:03.280 who gives us wealth businesses gave us these opportunities he's telling telling at the end

00:06:07.280 that you know what it's not even worth a penny to me we can have women money cars it's fine you can 1.00

00:06:12.480 have a night obviously as a wife not like women on the street or whatever have you but the thing is you 0.91

00:06:16.960 have to have these things in balance you have to have them with something else as well they can't be your

00:06:22.000 objective they can be a means towards an objective but then they can't be the sole reason and purpose

00:06:26.480 for which you live now i'm not going to leave you hanging there bro and and and and and i want you

00:06:31.040 to and and i want to explain to you something right so what i want to do is i want to take you to the

00:06:33.920 next ayah because in the next ayah allah subhanahu wa ta'ala what he does is he tells you that which is

00:06:38.480 better remember that's which which with allah is better and allah said you know what else is better

00:06:46.480 is earning allah's pleasure bro you know when you work and spend your entire life trying to

00:06:52.960 accomplish something and then you look towards those who you look up to and respect the most for

00:06:59.600 their approval like your parents for example if your parents come to you and tell you i am displeased

00:07:04.640 and disappointed that hurts but if your parents and if they are the ones that really mean the world

00:07:10.080 to you and they say you know what my son i'm pleased with you you could have nothing you could

00:07:17.840 have just just brought home a little drawing you did at school in year nine and they told you that

00:07:21.760 that will make you feel like you're on top of the world i mean allah is when allah is pleased with you

00:07:29.440 that that is real pleasure that is real happiness now the question comes what is the relationship

00:07:36.960 between having a spiritual relationship with allah and mine and your happiness well it comes back down

00:07:42.320 to mine and your essence you see allah mentioned that these things these things in the previous

00:07:48.800 verse money women cars that he put this pleasure inside of us it's because they're not bad no one's 0.53

00:07:54.880 saying it's bad to have really nice things it's yo allah put that desire in you and the reason he did

00:08:00.080 that in us was because that it feeds our body remember we're made from two components we're made

00:08:06.720 from our soul and we're made from our body sometimes we act like we're just a body not a soul the body is

00:08:12.160 a material thing so it requires material things in order to feed it right it needs food it needs the

00:08:17.680 body can't be like actually fed you know with things that are immaterial you need to put material

00:08:23.920 tangible fruit in your belly right to feed you but notice that the body where did it come from it came

00:08:29.440 from the ground because allah created adam our father from the dirt that came from the ground 1.00

00:08:34.560 now we feed our bodies nice our bodies are healthy but guess what we don't feed and we deprive and we

00:08:42.560 starve we don't feed our soul our souls are starving and hungry and you know when you say i'm feeling an

00:08:52.320 emptiness inside you your body is not feeling an emptiness your body is healthy my brother but it's your

00:08:58.320 heart it's your soul your soul is feeling weak the depression is a result of having a disconnection

00:09:04.960 with how to actually feed and nourish your soul so you've got a very hungry soul right now bro now in

00:09:11.360 order and why i promise you my brother the only way to get over this void you feel in your life is to now

00:09:16.400 fill that soul up with healthy things now where does the food for the soul come from which is a very

00:09:22.640 rational question to ask well it comes from the same place the soul came from the same way the food for the

00:09:27.440 body came from where the body comes from the food for the soul comes from where the soul came from

00:09:31.760 where did the soul come from the omur the command of allah okay the soul came from allah

00:09:39.280 allah gave us that soul so guess where the food for the soul comes from

00:09:44.240 it also comes from what allah gave us what did allah gave us

00:09:46.640 Allah gave us the Quran

00:09:49.280 It's his direct speech

00:09:53.400 It came from above the heavens

00:09:54.680 Allah gave us the Quran

00:09:55.980 He gave us something that is from Allah's direct speech

00:09:59.200 And the way that we implement the Quran

00:10:01.860 The very basic way is through the five daily prayers

00:10:04.620 So anything that we place our happiness and desires

00:10:07.380 Whether they be women, cars 1.00

00:10:09.040 Anything from that verse

00:10:10.440 Women, money, wealth, cars, businesses 1.00

00:10:13.920 These things will eventually go my brother

00:10:16.000 So if they are what our happiness is based on

00:10:18.620 Our happiness will go

00:10:19.500 But guess what

00:10:20.260 If our happiness is based on Allah 1.00

00:10:22.180 Even if these things leave us

00:10:25.080 And our body is still starving

00:10:26.260 The fact that our soul is still happy

00:10:28.680 Is connected to something that's everlasting

00:10:30.780 Our happiness will be everlasting

00:10:32.520 Okay as you heard from brother Imran Masha

00:10:34.220 They explained it in a beautiful way

00:10:35.420 And also I'm just going to share two verses in the Quran from you

00:10:37.300 Where Allah SWT says

00:10:38.120 If you forget my remembrance

00:10:40.060 Indeed you will have a depressed life

00:10:41.820 And this goes to everybody

00:10:42.780 Not just you, actually me, everybody

00:10:44.360 And Allah says only with the remembrance of your Lord

00:10:46.700 Does your hearts find peace
