00:00:00.000 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, 1.00
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,
00:01:07.540 because we know that brings greater harm.
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.
00:01:20.800 Do you get what I'm trying to say?
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.
00:01:28.960 So what do we learn from this?
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.
00:01:35.340 I've come across it.
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,
00:01:47.820 it'd be unfair to say a lot, yeah?
00:01:49.480 Some Saudis are insecure, yeah?
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.
00:02:00.640 I live in the West.
00:02:01.760 I'm happy.
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.
00:02:14.680 So the point is this.
00:02:15.560 But however, if there's things that need to be corrected in this land,
00:02:19.160 that we would have to tell them.
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.
00:02:25.000 One million people in London have STD.
00:02:27.420 Sexually transmitted diseases, yeah?
00:02:29.320 Alcohol consumption, gambling addiction, yeah?
00:02:31.900 Murder.
00:02:32.740 It's crazy. 0.62
00:02:34.360 Promiscuous relationships.
00:02:35.620 And you name it.
00:02:36.800 Drug addiction.
00:02:37.860 It's crazy.
00:02:38.480 And they want to be, like, they have no idea.
00:02:40.620 You know, it's just something that shaitan has beautified.
00:02:42.340 But there is one thing that we can take.
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?
00:02:58.360 Now, he has some issues.
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.
00:03:10.780 Allah exists.
00:03:12.400 Allah promises you sustenance.
00:03:14.180 Allah is the one who's created the heavens and the earth.
00:03:16.260 You have no tawakkul, yeah? 0.66
00:03:18.020 You don't fear Allah.
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.
00:03:29.340 There is no tawakkul.
00:03:30.260 He's saying that oil might run out.
00:03:32.300 Okay, therefore, I'm going to go and do things that are not permissible
00:03:35.240 because our kingdom has to survive.
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,
00:03:46.400 oh, I need to sell drugs. 0.96
00:03:47.860 Allah is the one that provides. 0.92
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? 0.98
00:03:58.080 Basically, there's oil.
00:03:59.380 He's enriched you.
00:04:00.180 Why do you doubt him now?
00:04:02.220 He has shown you.
00:04:03.720 And Allah says, talk about my mercy.
00:04:05.480 And talk about the favors that I've given upon you.
00:04:07.820 Talk about it, yeah?
00:04:09.680 Don't forget it.
00:04:10.960 If Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has provided and given oil to the kingdom, 0.92
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.
00:04:23.460 Let's sell drugs. 1.00
00:04:24.420 If we don't sell drugs, we're not going to survive.
00:04:26.320 No, brother.
00:04:26.940 Your risk is written for you.
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.
00:04:42.200 And this is an issue of aqidah and tawheed.
00:04:44.220 It's as simple as that.
00:04:45.140 But that's my two-pence piece.
00:04:46.620 And wallahi, we need to have tawakul in Allah. 0.60
00:04:48.420 Allah provides.
00:04:49.400 Don't ever think you need to go into haram.
00:04:51.920 Wallahi.
00:04:52.640 I'm a witness.
00:04:53.920 I'm a witness.
00:04:55.000 It is not a time.
00:04:55.960 I don't remember.
00:04:56.940 A day that I've given you one pound of sadaqah that is to return back to me five pounds.
00:05:00.300 Wallahi.
00:05:01.180 I'm just saying in general, put your trust in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. 0.98
00:05:04.000 Allah will provide from places. 0.97
00:05:06.940 Allah says, if you fear me, I will provide to you from places you've never imagined.
00:05:12.140 Till next time.
00:05:12.700 Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
