00:00:00.000 Very interestingly, he promotes this album via a Qur'an recitation.
00:00:03.760 Let's listen to the Qur'an recitation which he's picked.
00:00:11.680 I've done the seven-day free trial of the Qur'anly app and it exceeded all my expectations.
00:00:16.000 Alhamdulillah, I was worried that it was an overrated product. That's what he thought until
00:00:20.240 he tried it. Prophet's assistant, you can build a habit with the Qur'an by seven-day free trial
00:00:25.040 brothers and sisters, no credit card details required at all and you decide for yourself,
00:00:28.800 is it overrated or is it underrated? Go to the link in the description box below brothers and sisters,
00:00:33.600 download it and see what time it is.
00:00:36.880 As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh brothers and sisters and dear friends. We're
00:00:39.440 gonna get straight into it. Fresh Montana, you guys know him, I don't know nothing about him,
00:00:43.520 I'll be honest, I just know he's some kind of a rapper, musician, whoever he may be.
00:00:46.960 And subhanallah, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala sometimes has mercy on us by calamities.
00:00:50.720 I have hardly seen anybody come to Islam or closer to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala via blessings.
00:00:55.440 These are very unique people that genuinely come close to Allah via blessings. Allah's giving
00:00:59.920 the blessings and they get closer to Allah. Very unique people. But most of us,
00:01:04.080 we come to Allah via calamities. It's calamities that make us want to come to him. Because if we
00:01:09.040 didn't have calamities, we would think we're invincible and we don't need Allah. And sadly,
00:01:12.400 that's the reason why Allah sends calamities because Allah says we send a smaller calamity to divert
00:01:16.640 a bigger calamity in the hereafter. And that's exactly what happened with Fresh Montana. Look what he says in
00:01:20.240 his post. So in his post, he says the following. They got amnesia. They forgot. So that's his album.
00:01:25.120 That's how badly it was affected. Why? The album November 12, grateful to be here to tell my story.
00:01:31.360 Two years ago, this same day, I was in ICU fighting for my life. Loss of memory, loss of friends,
00:01:37.440 loss of hope. Almost I lost it all. And when I was down, I found out all I had was Allah. He picked me up
00:01:44.320 and gave me a second chance. While I was trying to bounce back, they counted me out and forgot everything
00:01:49.040 we did. Day 730, they got amnesia, the album. Now, very interestingly,
00:01:53.920 he promotes this album via a Quran recitation. Let's listen to the Quran recitation, which he's picked
00:02:02.320 by the star when it goes down to set.
00:02:08.720 Your fellow prophet has neither missed the way nor he has deviated.
00:02:12.320 He does not speak out of his own desire.
00:02:23.680 It is nothing but revelation to him.
00:02:29.680 It is taught to him by the angel of strong faculties.
00:02:32.640 Wallahi, listen to this recitation. If I was not a Muslim and I listened to the Quran, I would say,
00:02:37.040 this cannot be but of God almighty. Beautiful. But let's carry on.
00:02:45.120 The one of vigor. So he stood poised.
00:02:50.880 While he was on the upper horizon.
00:02:56.160 Then he drew near and came down.
00:02:58.080 So as he was at a distance like that of two bows or even nearer.
00:03:12.560 Thus, Allah has revealed to his slave what he revealed.
00:03:19.680 The heart did not err in what it saw.
00:03:21.840 Do you quarrel with him what he sees?
00:03:32.800 Indeed, he saw him another time.
00:03:37.920 The fact that French Montana picked this verse is so powerful because Allah is glorifying and
00:03:43.040 affirming what the Prophet saw and those who doubt him are in transgression.
00:03:48.080 Because it is clear and it is the Lord of the heavens on the earth claiming what the Prophet saw is true and he is a true prophet.
00:03:55.920 And to be honest, I'll wrap it in a nutshell, inshallah, that whoever is in another, whatever prophet may be,
00:04:01.600 and French Montana is one, any rappers, when you was in ICU, no friends, no fans, nobody.
00:04:08.400 Forget this. This is this dunya.
00:04:10.400 In the hereafter, because in this dunya you're going to have your family and friends which are going to be there for you.
00:04:13.840 In the hereafter, mom, dad, brother, sister, son, daughter, they don't know you.
00:04:20.160 They don't know you not because they hate you, but that day is a severe day and that day everyone is for himself.
00:04:27.680 And that is the reason why we ask Allah to make us among the believers because that day believers are going to want to associate to one another.
00:04:34.720 Yes, we believed and those who disbelieved are going to curse each other and ask for Allah to punish them more.
00:04:40.640 May this be a wake-up call for brother French Montana and inshallah, he gets closer to his deen inshallah.
00:04:45.840 Till next time, assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
