Not only does it encourage you to read, it tells you how many verses you've read,
00:00:03.220
how many pages you've read, how long you've been on it, and best of all, the Hasana counter.
00:00:07.380
Download the Qur'ani app now and have a Ramadan with Allah's book like you've never had before.
00:00:30.000
As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, brothers and sisters and dear friends.
00:00:39.360
Brothers and sisters, I've been seeing a lot of news from Saudi Arabia,
00:00:41.920
things that they're doing, hearing MBS talk, and all this kind of stuff, you know,
00:00:47.460
and I've tried to avoid it because it's a double-edged sword.
00:00:50.200
But there's things that I've seen reoccurring over and over again,
00:00:52.860
and I think, you know what, I need to touch up on it and what lessons we can learn.
00:00:56.700
I'm totally against all this thing of, you know, that they're a kafir stay,
00:01:01.620
all this kind of nonsense of extreme thoughts or sayings, you know,
00:01:04.780
or they should be overthrown, they should be a civil war, all this kind of nonsense,
00:01:09.200
So I'm not doing these videos to attack the kingdom per se,
00:01:13.220
even though I do believe what they're doing is wrong, and I would talk about that.
00:01:17.440
But it's also about what we can take out of it, the lessons that we can learn for ourselves.
00:01:21.920
Because we need to save ourselves before trying to save a whole kingdom or whatever it may be,
00:01:25.220
because Allah says in the Qur'an, save yourselves and your families from the fire first.
00:01:30.120
So Halloween, the first Halloween shop has been opened.
00:01:33.220
Now I don't know if this is old news or current news.
00:01:36.420
Now this is the very fundamental thing that we can all take from this.
00:01:39.960
And it's so, so fundamental, and it's so close to home for all of us.
00:01:44.060
And now a lot of Saudis, sadly, you know, because I'm not saying a lot,
00:01:51.460
They're insecure, they don't know maybe much about their religion,
00:01:53.340
even though they live in the kingdom, and they look at the West and admire, like, wow.
00:01:57.140
And they have no idea the filth that goes on in the West.
00:02:02.880
This country that I live in, yeah, there's a lot of benefits that it gives me.
00:02:07.600
It allows me to practice my religion and other stuff.
00:02:09.280
But me criticizing it doesn't mean I hate United Kingdom.
00:02:12.340
No, this is where, you know, I live and reside.
00:02:15.560
But however, if there's things that need to be corrected in this land,
00:02:20.520
There's nothing wrong with that, you know, to express it.
00:02:22.260
So they don't understand, like, even just one thing that I can give you.
00:02:40.620
You know, it's just something that shaitan has beautified.
00:02:44.000
I don't see any difference through, I don't see any difference with a person, A, who is a drug dealer
00:02:51.820
and he believes that he needs to sell drugs in order to provide for his family, yeah?
00:03:00.600
Anybody, a Muslim, that comes and says that he needs to sell drugs or do haram or sell alcohol
00:03:04.600
or gain riba or this, that, to provide, has some fundamental issues in aqidah, in tawheed.
00:03:14.180
Allah is the one who's created the heavens and the earth.
00:03:19.700
So, I can take these attributes, when I look at you and you say to me,
00:03:23.100
I need to sell drugs because I need to, da-da-da-da-da.
00:03:25.480
Now, what Saudi Arabia and MBS is doing is exactly the same thing.
00:03:32.300
Okay, therefore, I'm going to go and do things that are not permissible
00:03:37.780
Now, his head might be in the right place that he wants his kingdom to survive, whatever it may be.
00:03:41.960
But you going about the haram way is as good as saying, like a drug dealer saying,
00:03:49.380
Allah will give a way out from a place you can never imagine.
00:03:51.660
If Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has enabled that you are sitting on a literally oil field, yeah?
00:04:05.480
And talk about the favors that I've given upon you.
00:04:10.960
If Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has provided and given oil to the kingdom,
00:04:14.860
why do you have to turn your back against Allah and make it seem as if Allah can now not provide?
00:04:20.940
And we have to go about the haram way just as a drug dealer.
00:04:24.420
If we don't sell drugs, we're not going to survive.
00:04:28.080
You just choose to earn the exact thing that was going to be destined for you in a haram way.
00:04:32.980
With your own choice because you have a free will.
00:04:34.820
So, this is exactly what I see when I see the Halloween issue.
00:04:37.860
You are taking matters into your own hand because you do not have tawakul in Allah.
00:04:56.940
A day that I've given you one pound of sadaqah that is to return back to me five pounds.
00:05:01.180
I'm just saying in general, put your trust in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
00:05:06.940
Allah says, if you fear me, I will provide to you from places you've never imagined.
