And Mashallah, my brother, our Shaykh Ali Hamouda is doing a great job.
00:00:17.000
because the reward of what you give is not just at the moment of giving,
00:00:25.000
but rather it is prolonged for a very, very long time.
00:00:29.000
And it lasts for as long as that Waqf continues to generate,
00:00:42.000
I know the partnership that we have is amazing.
00:00:46.000
And not many people understand the concept of Waqf,
00:00:50.000
yet the reward is far greater through the Waqf.
00:00:57.000
it will be really, really amazing and very, very rewarding.
00:01:02.000
Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, brothers and sisters and dear friends.
00:01:08.000
This will be a video, not a reaction video, not clickbait, not whatever you want to call it, Inshallah.
00:01:13.000
This will be different, a heart-to-heart that I would like to have with you guys,
00:01:16.000
especially for those who are sinners like myself.
00:01:19.000
I mean, those who are committing sins, those who are committing zina, drinking alcohol,
00:01:25.000
I mean, even as bad as someone maybe taking the life of somebody else.
00:01:28.000
Now you might be watching this and you might be thinking you have no hope.
00:01:32.000
That was something that I felt long, long time ago.
00:01:38.000
And subhanAllah, the lifestyle that I come from, as I told you guys,
00:01:49.000
And subhanAllah, I want to speak to the sinners,
00:01:51.000
the people out there who subhanAllah are indulged in this.
00:01:58.000
I've noticed, alhamdulillah, Allah subhanAllah,
00:02:02.000
The greatest of all teachers teaches you tawakul,
00:02:05.000
teaches you trust in him, to know that the risk comes from him.
00:02:08.000
And these are things that a lot of born Muslims,
00:02:13.000
They don't understand how tawakul has changed my life forever.
00:02:18.000
As a non-Muslim, you know, where my money came from,
00:02:27.000
I can remember times where there was a specific sin
00:02:38.000
And subhanAllah, I can remember my first Ramadan as well.
00:02:45.000
Because you was indulged in sins that you couldn't let go.
00:02:56.000
and we've created mankind with inclination towards evil and good.
00:02:59.000
So you've been created with that for Allah subhanAllah to test you.
00:03:05.000
And I used to have some really deep satanic evil thoughts that would come to me.
00:03:14.000
And subhanAllah, I will struggle with this sin.
00:03:18.000
you know, who's involved in athletics or whatever it is for that matter.
00:03:22.000
Every time I would go and commit that sin, I would cry.
00:03:33.000
or those on the verge of accepting Islam would relate to this.
00:03:45.000
Shaytan always makes you want to do the opposite.
00:06:18.000
and this, that, whatever it is for that matter.
00:07:01.000
Brother Ali, what on earth are you talking about?
00:07:15.000
but this doesn't mean you don't put the effort.
00:07:42.000
Allah looks at the sacrifice you're going to do.
00:07:45.000
Allah looks at how bad do you want to leave that sin?
00:08:00.000
Some scholars say the first thing he had to sacrifice
00:08:08.000
Because if he didn't sacrifice that internally,
00:08:19.000
You have to put the effort to the best of ability.
00:09:30.000
But when Allah sees how bad you want to stop it.
00:09:57.000
And I put so much happiness and content into my heart.
00:10:08.000
It's as if I forgot and remembered it about a year and a half later.
00:10:25.000
Do you really think Allah is going to let you carry on that sin?
00:10:36.000
That the way I'm going to move away from that sin.
00:10:43.000
Not that the temptations or this that or whatever.
00:10:53.000
You know if you leave something for the sake of Allah.
00:11:15.000
But you don't know the struggles that I go through.
00:11:18.000
That we call to people something that we don't do.
00:11:20.000
What I am saying is that the struggle is still there.
00:13:08.000
And I wanted to share this message with you guys.
00:13:21.000
The hadith of the Prophet shallallahu wa ta'ala.
00:13:32.000
So much so that man who was killing those people.
00:14:41.000
And please share this with your friends and family.
