Auto-generated transcript:In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
And peace and blessings be upon the most honorable of the prophets and messengers,
Muhammad and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him and upon his family and companions.
May peace and blessings be upon him and upon his family and companions.
And may peace and blessings be upon him and upon his family and companions.
I would like to remind myself and you that for all of this to happen for us,
and we ask Allah the Exalted to make dua, but remember, I remind myself, dua alone is not enough.
Dua has to be with dawah. There has to be action.
The key is to get those good deeds into our account.
It's not simply making dua.
Allah said, see the generosity of Allah.
Allah said,
Masalu allatheena yunfiqoona anwaalahum fee sabeeli Allah
Kamasali habbatin anbatat
Sabaa salabila fee kulli tumbulat
Immiyatu habba
Wallahu yuda'ifu liman yasha
Wallahu wa'asi unaleem
Allah said, the example of those who spend their wealth in the cause of Allah
is like that of a grain that is planted and it sprouts into seven years.
The plant has seven years, each bearing 100 grain.
You know, think of a corn plant.
You plant one corn seed.
The plant grows.
It has branches.
Each branch has a corn cob and each cob has 100 grains.
There is one you planted, you got 700.
And then the word of my Rabb, Jalla Jalaluhu.
And Allah multiplies the reward even more to whoever he wills.
For Allah is all bountiful, all knowing.
Whenever I read this ayat, I revel in the fact that, you know, I am a person who is not a person.

No thought is available to you.
You move carefully that you are looking at God.
We will first look at Mohamad Sanqu lotta who also says, a witness from the Prophet Mohammad,
the ummah проблема has this command that I came from you.
What does mooha meanơi That Allah is the hall ofиш and hu.
which can really and truly only be done when we understand it in its original.
And this is true of all languages.
Urdu, for example, which I, alhamdulillah, is my mother tongue,
and I think I speak it, and I understand, I read it, I write it, I love Urdu poetry.
If you recite a Urdu couplet, with each word, the nuance of the word, the tone of the word,
the way the word is used in that couplet, each one has a delight of its own,
which you translate it, none of that can be conveyed.
Now, this is the Kalam of Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Ta'ala Allahu alhamdulillah, we don't compare the Kalam of Allah to the Kalam of any shahir.
In any case, the Quran is not shahir.
Very important to learn the Arabic language.
That is what touches our heart and strengthens our faith.
Just think about the dua which we make every morning,
and see how Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is described in this dua.
The glory and magnificence of Allah.
And how we place ourselves in a position, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gave us the permission
to place ourselves in a position where we are invoking Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
and making Him the witness on our tawhid.
Allahumma inni ushiduk wa ushidu hamalata arshik
wa malaikatik wa jamiya qalkik
annaka anta Allah la ilaha illa ant wahadaka
la sharika lak wa anna Muhammadan abuduka wa rasuluk
O Allah, I make you the witness.
And I make witness the malaika, the angels who hold the throne.
And I make witness all the angels.
And I make witness everything in creation.
Every breath of air, every wave of the ocean, every drop of rain,
every flick.
of snow, every sound, every radio wave, every creature, every human, every jinn,
every animal, every bird, every reptile, every amphibian, everything I know and everything
I don't know, every grain of sand on every beach.
I make all of them witness that you are one.
Wahadaka.
La sharika lak.
And there is no comparison to you.
There is no one who can be joined with you.
There is no one who is like you.
There is no one who is equal to you.
