Season 3 of the smash hit FX/Hulu show “The Bear” roared to life just days ago, but Will Poulter (the actor who plays fan-favorite Luca) and 2014 F&W Best New Chef Dave Beran had been prepping for weeks. Poulter — like his co-star Jeremy Allen White — staged with Beran at his Santa Monica restaurant Pasjoli to learn how to accurately portray a professional chef onscreen. The lessons went so well, Beran says he’d hire Poulter as a cook — even despite a messy mishap with a pastry bag. The two dished all about getting kitchen culture right on and offscreen, what it takes to be at the top of your craft, and the pure magic of a great restaurant service.

Auto-generated transcript:This is a new kind of Fajr reminder that I want to share with you which is really sharing stuff from my own life which I hope will be enjoyable as well as a means of learning inshallah. On October 20, 2010, we are now in 2024, on October 20, 2010 I was 55. So I published a book on that day called 2010-2010-55 because that's how we write dates in India and everywhere in the world except the US. So in the US we write the day first and then the month. In the US we do it the other way which is the month first and the day afterwards. So this is written in the English or the Indian way if you like. 2010-2010-55 which was 55, the book contained 55 life lessons that I learned in my life. So let me share some of these with you. Those who read the book, please forgive me or read the book, please forgive me and those who are motivated to read the book and get it on Amazon. Those who would like to learn more about my life, there's another book of mine called It's My Life which is for the princely sum of $7. I'm most grateful to Allah that He gave me the life that He gave me for only $7. Alhamdulillah, wajib. So as I told you I turned 55 on the 20th of October 2010 and that's the title of this book 2010-2010-55. I reflected on the lessons that I learned in my life which I think has been, alhamdulillah, an unusually rich and active and exciting life lived in India, in Guyana, in America, in Saudi Arabia and in travels in other parts of the world. I wrote this book as a tribute of thanks to all those who added value to me and taught me formally and informally and invested in my learning. During my childhood and teens in India through the 60s and 70s, I spent all my vacations walking in the jungles of the Sahyadri mountains in Adilabad district in Telangana living with my dear friend and mentor, Uncle Rama, Venkat Rama Reddy Sahib. Imagine the excitement of a 15-year-old with a .22 rifle or a 12-bore shotgun walking with one goan companion, Shivaya, all over the jungle bordering the Karnab river, just Shivaya and myself. At times, Shivaya and I would walk in the night to witness a sambar mud bath and sit behind a tree quietly watching majestic sambar stags roll in mud and then stand up to shake off the excess, coated in an arm of mud which when dry protects them from biting insects. Sometimes we would hear the call of the tiger as it set out for work. I learned to read tracks which tell the story of all those who passed that way. I learned the meaning of smells which tell their own stories and sometimes can mean the difference between life and death. But the biggest lesson I learned was to take life seriously while having fun and to extract every drop of learning. In the late 70s and early 80s, I spent five years in the Amazonian rainforest of Guyana bordering the river Burbys. I went there when I was 19 or 20 and lived alone in Kokwani on the river Burbys. During weekends, my friend Peter Ramsey and I would take our boat on a trip 50 to 60 miles, sometimes 100 miles upriver and camp on the bank or on a sandbank in the river. And sleep in hammocks. It was our code of honor to not take any food on these trips and live off the land from our hunting and fishing. As an emergency fallback, we would take some raw chicken guts in a plastic bag. If we didn't manage to catch any lukanani or to shoot any agouti or kanji pheasants, we would trawl the chicken guts in Burbys and sure enough we would get a bite. Piranha. Great eating as long as you know how to keep clear of the teeth and retrieve your hook. I would say alligator eyes shining like diamonds sprinkled on the dark waters during our night patrols to check our fishing nets. During one trip, Peter and I accidentally caught a 22-foot anaconda in our fishing net. It was so heavy that both of us couldn't lift him clear off the ground. I met people who lived 30 to 40 miles up the Burbys River in houses on stilts in small forest clearings where they grow a few vegetables,

Auto-generated transcript:We talked about the first of the four questions. Fourth question is two and one. What is the most important thing that we will be required to answer when we stand before Allah on the Day of Judgment? May Allah make it easy for us, inshallah. And as the Prophet said, the feet of the son of Adam will not leave the presence of Allah. Until he answers these four questions. So this is Haqq. This will happen. We ask Allah to help us. Because without the help of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, we cannot be successful here. We cannot be successful anywhere in this life or the next. And therefore the help of Allah is something that we seek and we must constantly continue to seek. And so, the second question that we will be asked is, what did you do with your youth? May Allah have mercy on us. Youth is a time of maximum temptation, as well as the ability to fulfill all those desires that we are being tempted towards. Temptation is of two parts. Temptation is of two parts. Temptation is of two parts. There are two kinds. One is the temptation of the nafs, which is our personal desires. And the second one is the temptation that comes from shaitan, whose sworn life goal is to take us to Jainah. Now, how do you distinguish between these two? Temptation that is coming from the nafs and temptation that is coming from shaitan. The way of distinguishing is that the temptation that comes from the nafs is usually for one thing. It's not anything. It's one thing. For example, somebody may be tempted or drawn towards something. Using intoxicants. So, narcotics, drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, you know, addictive substances. So, this is the temptation. Now, that particular person who's tempted to do these things is maybe the temptation of women. The temptation of, if you are a woman, then temptation of having boyfriend, right? The temptation of having a wife. Temptation of friends. Temptation of some other kind. You may not be bothered with that, right? You're not particularly interested in that. The interest is... And the draw, the draw and the attraction is for this particular thing. Conversely, it may be somebody who's young man, must have girlfriends. One is not enough, have one in every town. You know, different kinds of things like that. Which are, you know like for example, Guy Mahajan, you know, in Priickers or stole a cab, write History és Kommandi keitaré yang tohi ben krigen. more sexual related but completely turned off have absolutely zero desire to indulge in drugs or alcohol anything like that even the desire is not there there may be sometimes people are tempted to towards their or addicted to you know the television so you have people who in the in the house house the TV runs though all day every day the other people who the TV is not even a temptation you know it simply doesn't they it's not there it's not part of their thing they don't care they don't watch not a temptation today the biggest addiction and temptation is our screens in our pockets cell phones and this has gone to the point of being a disease where it's it's an actual identified disease psychological illness offered of screen screen addiction and may Allah have mercy it looks like there's no one left on the face of the earth was not addicted to this in one way or the other now this is the temptation that come from the tee quest was so difficult but they remember this 바ً و loves love and his question about stunning that particular causation with takes a very significant tool the knowing and then the revelation of comenoo of the thing لل 與 and we why this wish product Là or must have a contrary opinion. And they will argue with scholars, they will argue with other people, they will argue with their parents. Constant arguments, constant fighting, constant creating irritation in the lives of others. This is an addiction. This is also something that comes from the nafs. Temptations that come from Shaitan are not specific.…

Auto-generated transcript:We spoke about the three questions of the grave. And as I mentioned to you, the three questions of the grave have to do with our creed, our belief. What do we believe? So the first question is about Allah. The second question is about the whole Deen. And the third question is about Rasulullah . Alhamdulillah, may Allah make it easy for us to pass this test because this is a test that is not voluntary, it is compulsory. Everyone who is born, everyone who lived will die and when they die, they will have to pass this test. And then we go to the Day of Judgement and there there are four questions. And we know from the Hadith of Rasulullah . And the meaning of which is he said that the feet of the Banu Adam, the children of Adab al-Israab will not be able to move from before their Rabb until they answer four questions. And the first of those questions is, what did you do with the time that I gave you? What did you do with the time that I gave you? The second question is, how did you spend your youth? So even in time, all time is not equal. How did you spend your youth? And third question is, what did you do with the knowledge that I gave you? And the fourth one is a two in one question. Where did you earn your wealth from? Where did you earn your wealth from? And where did you spend it? So the first question has to do with life, with time. The second question has to do with youths, because youth is the time when you have maximum desire. You also have the maximum ability to fulfill the desires. You have the strength, you have the power and so on. Third question has to do with knowledge. And the fourth question has to do with earnings. So let us look at each of these. We look at one today. That is the question with regard to time. So I ask you to think about it. What will we answer to Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala? If Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala says, what did you do with your time? What is the answer? If you take social media alone. You will find that. You will find that. You will find that. Why? Because statistics tell us that the average person, the average person in this country spends up to six hours per day scrolling their phones. Whatever it is, whether it's Facebook or Tailbook or Mohina, whatever, six hours a day. So, the question is that what will we answer? Allah says, what did you lose the time? People say time is money. But just think about that. Supposing you lose $100. And it doesn't have to be $100. If you lose $20, you will feel it. I mean, it won't kill you, obviously, but say my $20 went somewhere. There's some awareness, some sense of loss. I lost $20. And of course, if you lose more, then the sense of loss is more. But what about if you lose 30 minutes? It won't even register anywhere. Although, if you think about that, money is replaceable. You lose it today when you can get it back tomorrow and so on. But time? Once gone, it's gone. It doesn't come back. It doesn't come back. You can't buy it somewhere. You cannot generate it. You can't say, I will make some time like I'm making cryptocurrency or something. No. So, how aware are we of that? Now, the solution is to create a system. Create structure in your life. Structure is the secret of productivity. And that structure is structure if it is followed strictly. That is very important. Because today, nowadays, what's happened is that people have, thanks to apps, you have an app for everything. You name it. Somebody has made an app for it. So, you've got time apps. You've got, you know, food apps. You've got exercise apps. You've got all kinds of stuff. So, you say, I've got this app on my phone and I'm going to, it will tell me, you know, how the day is being spent. Question is, do you follow that? So, you don't need any app. Forget about apps. What I advise is just take a plain sheet of paper, a notebook, and do two things. One is, every night, think about the coming day, tomorrow, and say, what are the three most critical things that I ne...…

Auto-generated transcript:Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Alameen. Wa salatu wa salamu ala ash-shadab fil anbiya wal mursaleen Muhammadur Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa ala alihi wa sallam. Tasliman kathiran kathira. From Abadu, my brother asked me a question just now. And he said, is cigarette smoking haram? So I answered his question, but before I answer that for you, let me expand this a little more so you understand the principle. The principle of the Sharia as far as things which are prohibited, haram, forbidden, haram. There are two principles. One, everything which is prohibited is intrinsically by itself harmful. Islam does not prohibit anything which has benefits. Everything in Islam which is prohibited is by itself intrinsically harmful. So it is something which even if you did not have a specific rule for that, as a sensible, intelligent, knowledgeable human being, you would not indulge in that, you would not use it because it is harmful. So first principle. Second principle is that when something is prohibited, when something is haram, then everything associated with it is also haram. Right? So this piece, please understand, is very important. If something is haram, if something is prohibited, then everything connected with it is also haram. It's also prohibited. Let me give you an example before I come to cigarettes. Take for example, alcohol. Alcohol, consumption of alcohol, meaning drinking alcohol, drinking alcohol is haram. Drinking alcohol of any kind. Now with alcohol by inference, we also mean anything which is addictive, anything which alters the mind. So all forms of drugs, all forms of narcotics, all of these are prohibited. They're all haram. Number one. Number two, anything which is haram is haram irrespective of quantity. So it is not that you must, that the whole bottle of alcohol is haram. One drop is also haram. One puff on a joint, on a marijuana cigarette is haram. Pork is haram. One gram of pork is haram. One rasher of bacon is haram. One sausage is haram. The whole pig is haram. So irrespective of quantity, it's not the question of how many. It's the question, if it is haram, it's haram. And then I said, everything associated. Now for example, you might say, well, pork is haram. I'm not eating pork. But I have a restaurant in which we serve ham sandwiches and bacon sandwiches. Right? I have a pizza shop and we are selling pepperoni pizza. Is it permitted? No. Even though you are not eating it, you are not allowed to do anything concerning that. You might say, I'm not eating it. I'm not selling it. I'm not buying it. But I have a truck in which I transport pigs. Haram. I have a pig farm. Haram. I have a share in a company which raises pigs. I have not even seen the company. I've not gone anywhere near it. I just, on the road. I have a share. On the share market, stock market, I bought some shares. This company deals in pork products. Haram. Right? Everything do with it. Now I don't think I need to give you more examples. You can figure out your own examples. There are plenty of examples I can give you. Fundamental principle, if it is haram, number one, it is harmful by itself. Number two, it is haram irrespective of quantity. And number three, everything associated with it is haram. Now we come to the specific question which my brother asked about cigarettes. Are cigarettes harmful or beneficial? Go to a doctor, ask him. I want to improve my health. How many cigarettes a day should I smoke? Does any doctor ever tell you you must at least smoke one packet a day, you know, good for your health, good for your life? People may dispute. I mean, first of all, there's no dispute now. There's no dispute now. To say that cigarette smoking causes, there is a long list of stuff. It's not only lung cancer. Lung cancer is definitely there. But even other than that, many cardiac issues, many kinds of issues. Find me one person who said that cigarette smoking is beneficial for you, good for your health. Nobody.…

https://youtu.be/Omw0PzXGqPY Auto-generated transcript: We are out here walking the rain in Ashley Reservoir.And you can see it's coming down at a reasonable pace.It's not heavy, heavy, but it's still quite reasonable.And I remind myself and I remind you, just think about this.This is where reflection, Tadabbur, is so important.We just think about, okay, rain is falling, I'm getting wet.First of all, nobody dies from getting wet unless you're made of salt.But other than that, nothing will happen to you.Point is not that. Point is, think about this.What are we seeing here?We are seeing here, number one, a substance that is foreign to this earth.A substance that was sent.To this earth.4.5 billion years ago.This is not an exact estimate.This is the estimate of the people who know.That water came to the earth 4.5 billion years ago.In various ways.Through, internally through rocks, which Allah created.Also through tremendous storms.From space.Water came to three planets.Of the solar system.It came to Mercury.Where it instantly evaporated because Mercury is so close to the sun.It came to Mars.Where it froze solid.Where underground froze solid because of the cold.And it came to earth where because of the tilt of the axis of the earth.At an exact angle of 23 and a half degrees.Allah gave it the capacity for water to be held.This is the only material which simultaneously exists in three forms.Liquid, solid and gas.Water vapor, ice and water.4.5 billion years ago.Now, Allah created everything from water.Which he mentioned in the Quran.And then Allah created a self-purification and regeneration system.For this to remain with us so that the goodness doesn't go away.And that is the system of precipitation.So this rain which is falling here is water which was absorbed, which evaporated from the oceans of the earth.And we don't know exactly which oceans.It didn't come from a specific place.But from the oceans of the earth.This water which is now raining down on me and Varanavar who is with me.Evaporated from some oceans or many oceans.And went into the atmosphere.Converted to water vapor.Rose up in the air.Traveled across the globe.Rose up high enough for the vapor to get cold enough.That atmosphere to be cold enough for it to condense.And that condenses.And that condensation is falling on us now as water.The water that was absorbed from the oceans was salt water.Not fit to drink.Impure.The water that is raining down on us.The same water.Rained down on us pure.Fit to drink.Fit to use or whatever you like.Entire purification process happens.And it's the same water being recycled.There's no new water coming to the earth from space.Same water coming to the earth from space.Same water coming to the earth from space.Same water coming to the earth from space.Same water being recycled.Purified and recycled.Comes down to us.SubhanAllahiladheem. SubhanAllahilaykum.How do you thank Allah for this?If you, a person can exist without food.For example three things.Air, food and water.A person can exist without air for about three minutes.A person can exist without food for almost three months.But a person cannot exist without water.For more than three days.After three days, you start getting dementia.The balance of electrolytes in your body changes.And you go mad.And then you die.A very nasty death.In three days. Without food.For a month you're fine.For more than a month you're fine.This is water.Absolutely critical.Comes from Allah .Free.And that's why when you walk in the rain, think about all this.Think about the fact that it's not just rain.You don't say, oh my God, I'm getting wet.No, say, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah.Allah is sending this.There's so much, so much blessing in it.And if I didn't have this, what would I do?So interestingly, if you look at the issue of rain,it's interesting how language is influenced by cultureand culture is influenced by weather.Because in the East, in the hot countries,in the tropics,…
Auto-generated transcript:Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Alameen. My dear respected brothers, sisters, elders. Alhamdulillah this year we celebrated Eid al-Adha as one community. Everyone coming together for the pleasure of Allah SWT in fulfillment of His command where He declared Which means the believers are but one brotherhood. So make peace between your brothers and be mindful of Allah so that you may be shown mercy. The result was beautiful where for the first time in the history of Western Massachusetts almost 5,000 Muslims prayed Salatul Eid al-Adha together. I ask Allah SWT to always keep our hearts together and enable us to resolve any differences that may arise from time to time respectfully in the light of the Quran and Sunnah alone. More concerned about guarding the Prophet and the Prophet's family and the Prophet's family and the Prophet's family. The fact that Allah SWT mentions making peace and reconciliation means that conflict is always a possibility. I remind you that conflict is never the problem. It is how we deal with it which can either help us to draw closer or fall apart. It is our choice and we are accountable for it. Allah SWT commanded us to be united and remain together. And He said وَاَتَصِمُوا بِحَبْلِ اللَّهِ جَمِيًا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُوا وَاذْكُرُوا نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ كُنْتُمْ عَادَاءً فَأَلَّفَ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِكُمْ فَأَسْبَحَتُمْ بِنِعْمَتِهِ إِخْوَانًا وَكُنْتُمْ عَلَى شَفَى حُفُرَةٍ مِّنَ النَّارِ فَأَنْخَذَكُمْ مِّنْهَا كَذَلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ آيَاتِهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ Allah SWT said in Surah Al-Imran And hold firmly to the rope of Allah SWT together and do not be divided. Remember Allah SWT's favor upon you when you were enemies. Then He, united your hearts. So you by His grace became brothers. And you were at the brink of a fiery pit. And He saved you from it. This is how Allah SWT makes His revelations clear to you so that you may be rightly guided. I remind myself and you that Allah SWT commanded us to remain united and not to create divisions and enmity between each other. He did not tell us not to have different opinions or not to disagree. It is about unity, not uniformity. Allah SWT commanded us not to allow such differences to form the basis of dividing the ummah of Rasulullah SAW. He called being divided as being on the brink or edge of a pit of fire and said that it was, He, Jalla Jalaluhu, who saved us from falling into it. We ask Allah SWT to save us from enmity towards one another and thereby falling into the pit of fire. To ensure our material and spiritual safety, it is essential to develop emotional maturity and to be able to keep the collective welfare of the ummah as the goal of all collective decision making. This is not an impossible or impossible. It is an idealistic goal. To encourage us, we have examples of the conduct of the Sahaba, Ridwanullahi Alim Ajmain, who always put the ummah ahead of themselves. Let me quote just one of these finest of examples from the early history of Islam and the Muslims. When Sayyidina Abu Bakr al-Siddiq passed away and Sayyidina Umar ibn al-Khattab succeeded him, almost the first act, that he did was to send a Farman, to send an order relieving Khalid bin Walid of supreme command of the Rashidun Khilafah's army and appointing his assistant Sayyidina Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah in his place as the commander. This order reduced Sayyidina Khalid bin Walid from being commander in chief to private, in one sentence. Imagine you are broken from being the commander in chief. In today's language, you would say, general, of course, maybe field marshal. One stroke, you are now private. You're an ordinary soldier in the army. There's no instance to my knowledge in military history to compare with this. This never happened. You might ask what Sayyidina Khalid bin Walid al-Anu had done to deserve this treatment. The answer is he did nothing. He had not done anything to deserve this treatment.…
Auto-generated transcript:In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. And peace and blessings be upon the honourable Prophet and the messengers. Muhammad and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. Peace be upon you all. My brothers and sisters, somebody sent me a very nice quote today from Twitter. And that quote was, six months from now, you can have six months of excuses or six months of progress. Six months from now, you will have either six months of excuses or six months of progress. And guess who that depends on? Right? Who does it depend on? Who does it depend on? So my question to myself, and I request you to ask the same question to yourself is, what do you want to do with your time? Because Allah told us very clearly, Allah said, for the human being is only what he works for. Not what he talks about, not what he dreams about, not what he posts on social media about, not what he writes about. What he works for. Talking about work is not work. Posting on social media about work is not work. Dreaming about work is not work. Wishing about work is not work. Telling the world about work is not work. Only work is work. Because a day will come when we will face Malakul Maut. We know that day will come. We do not know when that day will come. But we know it will come. And at that time, we will truly understand the value of time. Not now. Now it all looks like fun and games. Just imagine, this won't happen to you or me, but just imagine, just to get the impact of it. Say Malakul Maut comes and stands in front of you. And Malakul Maut says, I will give you five minutes. Okay? Your time for death is now, but I'll give you five minutes. First question, will you take it or not? Five minutes. Yes or no? Why? What can happen in five minutes? How can your life change in five minutes? Maybe you led a whole life of disobedience to Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. You're getting five minutes now before you die. Can that change anything? Yes or no? This is what. Speak. Speak. Speak. Speak. Speak. Yes. How? Forgiveness. Forgiveness. Exactly. In that five minutes, you can weep and cry and make sincere tawbah and Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala promise to forgive. So, we have a chance of getting out. Right? You won't get this five minutes, believe me. Nobody gets it. It is all a lie. But today, you have that five minutes and a string of five minutes. For free. As much as you want. What are you doing with it? If you are going to sit in a Majeed and a Khatera and you're going to joke amongst yourselves, that's a choice. Do it. We are getting used to in this country. I mean, there was a time when I first came here, I used to get very upset. Today, I don't. I ignore. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. Because what I told myself is, why do I care more about your life than you care about it yourself? You want to waste your life? Be my guest. No problem, free. Waste it. I'm not going to waste it. So, what is six months? Six months, I'll tell you. Just one. Six months. Six months, I'll tell you, just to give you one example, right? We walk five miles a day, Mara and myself. Take an average of 30 days a month, because there are 31 days also, just for the sake of calculation. 30 days a month, 680 days. 180 days multiplied by 5 is 900. If we walk six months, 900 miles, you can be in Louisville, Kentucky. You can be in Charlotte, North Carolina. But if you talk about walking 900 miles, you'll still be here. You will walk 900 miles, how? If you walk 900 miles. There's no other way. And of course, walking 900 miles will improve your health, better strength of legs, lower blood sugar, better blood pressure, right? You will be fitter and finer and more energetic and the works. It's also excellent for thinking. If I'm working in my mind about something, I go for a walk.…

Auto-generated transcript:Alhamdulillah. My brothers and sisters, that is why Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala taught us to make dua for guidance to the path, the Siratul Mustaqeem. The path of those who He blessed and not those who incurred His anger or were misguided. Think about this. We make this dua at least 17 times a day when we recite Surah Al-Fatiha in every rakat of every Farsalah. Just the Farsalah is total of 17 rakats. Then of course Sunan and Nawafil and so on and so forth. There's no salah which is valid unless Surah Al-Fatiha is recited in every rakat. And what do we ask? We ask for Hidna Siratul Mustaqeem. We say, O Allah, guide us to the path, the straight path, the path of guidance, the path of righteousness. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala accepts. He accepted the dua of Ibrahim alayhi salam and he decreed and said, He is the one who has sent his Messenger ﷺ with right guidance and the religion of truth, making it prevail over all others and sufficient is Allah as a witness. I remind myself and you that the religion is Islam. And this is the religion of every prophet. Every messenger. This was the religion of Ibrahim alayhi salam or Ibrahim. This was the religion of Musa or Moses or Isa or Jesus. This was the religion of Muhammad ﷺ. This was the religion of all the prophets who are mentioned. He is Islam. Submission to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. The question to ask therefore is, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala accepted my dua. I made dua Hidna Siratul Mustaqeem. Allah accepted that dua and he sent his Messenger ﷺ. But am I following him or somebody else? Let us ask before we are asked. Because that is the first question in our grave. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala not only accepted our dua, but he also told us that the way of Muhammad ﷺ, Islam, would become the most preferred and prevalent way of life on earth. Today, we wonder how certain negative harmful lifestyles have become so prevalent and powerful when just a few, few years ago they were despised and kept hidden. That is the power of living your choice with confidence. No matter what it is, if you do it with confidence, the world will accept. If this is possible with negative things, how much more with positive ones? But when the ignorant are confident and the knowledgeable are diffident and apologetic, ignorance will prevail. Remember that when the truth must be spoken, silence is culpable. The Prophet ﷺ and all those who followed him will be our witnesses. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala called the Prophet ﷺ, his blessing on the believers and declared his mission. And he said, Allah said, Allah said, which means indeed, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has done, the believers a great favor by raising a messenger from among them, reciting to them his revelations, purifying them and teaching them the book and wisdom. For indeed, they had previously been clearly astray. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala emphasized two things. The fact that the sending of his messenger, who was also human, is a double blessing. That we got a messenger and he is from among us. And that before the coming of the messenger, sallallaahu alaihi wasallam, the believers had no way, were misguided. This is the most certain evidence that guidance is only in the way of and through Muhammad ﷺ. And all other ways that do not come from him or bypass him are misguided. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala granted Ibrahim alaihi salam his dua, but changed the order of what he asked for, which underlines for us the importance of the sequence of learning. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala sent Rasulullah ﷺ with four connected duties. These are four progressive stages of learning and guidance. Four steps to Jannah. They are, yathlu walaihim ayatihi, recite, wa yuzakkihim, purify, wa yu'allimuhum alkitab, to teach, wal hikmah, to demonstrate. From the perspective of the audience, of the learners, these four, our four steps would be to listen, when he recites, to submit, when he purifies, to learn, when he teaches,…

Auto-generated transcript:Wолаazibullah khair Tawāq. My respected brothers, sisters, elders. The ayat which I recited for you from Surah Al-Baqarah, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said, which means, and remember when Ibrahim alayhi salam said, My Rabb, make this city of Mecca secure and provide food, fruits to its people, those among them who believe in Allah in the last day. He, Jalla Jalaluhu, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, the glorious and merciful. The magnificent answered, as for those who disbelieve, I will let them enjoy themselves for a while and then I will send them to the torment of the fire. What an evil destination. And remember when Ibrahim alayhi salam raised the foundation of the house with Ismail alayhi salam. Both of them praying, O Rabb, O our Rabb, accept this from us. You are indeed the all-hearing, all-knowing. Our Rabb, our Lord, make us both fully submit to you. And from our descendants, raise a nation that will submit to you. Show us our rituals and turn to us in grace. You are truly the acceptor of repentance, most merciful. O our Rabb, O our Lord, raise from among them a messenger who will recite to them your revelation. Teach them the book and wisdom and purify them. Indeed, you alone are the Almighty, all-wise. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala answered his dua. And made the actions, his actions and the actions of his little family, the actual rituals of worship that are connected with the house that he built. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala made that an act of worship that is sufficient to be done once in a lifetime. He caused the multitudes to come to the sacred house from all parts of the earth, using every means of transport with only one desire, to see the house. And to worship Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in its sacred environs. This is real honor where people through the ages, now for over 4,000 years, make the journey that Ibrahim made with his family. And they do what they did. Their actions become the actions, the rituals of a once-in-a-lifetime worship that bestow on them the blessings of Allah. And bestows the honor of forgiveness from all sins. This was the, this was his, Ibrahim alaihi salam's attitude of adab, of respect of huge reverence and submission to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala alone, abudiyat, where though they were building the Kaaba on the command of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, in the way that he guided them to do it, they didn't take this for granted. And Ibrahim alaihi salam made a dua, begging Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to accept their work. Rabbana taqabbal minna innaka anta assami wal alim. O our Rabb, accept this from us. You are indeed the all-hearing, all-knowing. To do good deeds, but with the anxiety that they may not be good enough to be accepted, is a sign of Iman. It's a sign of faith. It's a sign of Taqwa. We don't take it for granted. I'm doing good. Allah has to accept. Allah does not have to do anything. This is the opposite. The opposite of that is a sign of arrogance, and probably a guarantee that the deed will not be accepted. Then he, Ibrahim alaihi salam, made dua for a nation of righteous people to be raised, so that they would spread goodness in the land. Let us remind ourselves, we who live in a world of technology, and in awe of its creators and manipulators, and we call them wizards, that it is values, ethics, and morals, that define a civilization, not the tools they use. Today we call the Greeks and the Romans as the civilization of Greece and Rome. They were not civilizations. They were death cults. They were hugely over-militarized nations, whose constant work was war. There's not a single year in over 2,000 years, of Roman rule, that there wasn't a war. That's not civilization. That's breaking things. That's not building anything. Civilization is where you build things, not where you destroy things, not where your greatness is counted by the number of people you murder. Julius Caesar, when he conquered Gaul, which is currently France, there was a,…

Auto-generated transcript:My brothers and sisters, we are looking at the third question from the questions of the grave. And the first question was, who is your Rabb? And the second question was, what is your Deen? And the third question is, what do you say about the man who was sent among you? And the answer, of course, is that we say that he was the Rasul of Allah, sallallahu alayhi wasallam, and that we followed him. And then the question will be asked, what did you do? And the answer to that is, I read the Quran. And I believed in it. And I lived according to it. As I remind myself and you again and again, the issue is not knowing these answers now and repeating them or memorizing them and repeating them, but living our life in a way where these answers will come out. But starting withیا. And this was a Milanese. And I am going to start from Iran, now that I have opened this book to you, but I want to start from the person who sent me the question to ask and to tell you a discussion, because I know I must tell you the matter. Alright? Please do comment if you want. Okay. In this regard, we are also cloudy with our camp. Yay! Yay! Yeah. God bless you His Majesty. This is wonderful idea. Do it, boy. Shukar pard naya Jin. See if you didn't get this answer as well. Another said, the answer we know. He was the Rasool of Allah and I followed him. Question to ask ourselves is, is that the truth? Is that the truth? See in life, there are different kinds of ways in which we love the things around us. We love our parents, we love our children, we love the place we live in, we love our language, we love our culture, many things we love. And there is nothing like Allah , but we also love Allah and His Messenger . Now, all the different ways. Things that we love, each love has a requirement, there is a takhaza. The way you love your wife is not the same way you love your mother. You love both of them. But you love your wife in a different way, you love your mother in a different way. You love your wife by being good to her, kind to her, by taking care of her needs and so on and fulfilling her needs. You love your mother by serving her. And there is a difference between taking care of and serving. Today, our problems are because we, for our own self, we flipped it. So we take care of the mothers and we serve the wife. Then we complain. The question is, Allah gave us, we love our children. What is the meaning of loving the children? We also love our cats. We love our cats. We love our cats. We love our cats. We love our cats. We love our cats. We love our cats. We love our cats. We also love our cats or dogs or birds or whatever you keep, pets. Is there a difference between how you love a pet and how you love your child? In most places, there is not. The same, we do the same thing. Feed it. Make sure it is dry. Make sure it is warm. Make sure it is healthy. My job is over. Job is not over. Job is not, that is a job over for the pet, for the cat. for the child. For the child, the job is the tarbiyah of the child. Loving your children means that you will spend time with the children, tarbiyah of the children, training their children, teaching their children, teaching their children not to, while the khatir is going on, not to sit in the masjid with their back to the wall, scrolling on your phones. This is part of the tarbiyah of children. If you are not doing that, it means that you have not done the tarbiyah of the children. So taking care of children means tarbiyah of the children. Taking care of parents means serving the parents. Right? So what is the meaning of loving Allah and loving his Nabi alayhi salatu wasalam? Loving Allah is not simply to say, I love Allah. It's not simply to sing, you know, anasheed, hams of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. A nice voice. That is not love of Allah. That is nice to have. If you do it, you know how to do it, do it. I'm not saying it's haram. It's not haram. But love of Allah is obedience of Allah.…

Auto-generated transcript:We were talking about the questions that we have to answer. And as I mentioned, I remind myself and you, there are three questions that we have to answer in the grave that have to do with our Aqidah, with our creed, with our belief. Then there are four questions that we have to answer on the Day of Judgment, which have to do with our Aamad, our actions. The first of those questions we mentioned and talked about that last night, and that was, Man Rabbuk, who is your Rabb? The second question is, Ma Dinuk, what is your religion? Now, I remind myself and you that there is a difference between Deen and Madhab. There is a difference between Deen and Madhab. A Madhab has to do with rituals concerning worship and with certain issues of halal and hara and so on. Right? A Deen has to do with a complete way of life. So Islam is a Deen. In Islam, we have different Madhabs, which we follow until last. No problem with that. But the Deen is Islam. Allah said, Allah said, With Allah, there is only one Deen. That is Islam. And Allah said, Anyone who comes on the Day of Judgment with any other Deen other than Islam, will be among the losers. He should be rejected. So, very important. Allah said, Today I have completed your Deen. So, I have completed your Deen. Today I have completed your Deen. And I have given you my favor. And I have completed your Deen. Islam is a Deen. Now, therefore, it is very important for us to ensure that we learn and we practice. There is no practice possible. without learning. May Allah have mercy on us. We don't seem to give any importance to learning. Islam, learning about Islam is like learning about... in terms of learning, I mean it's not like learning about anything else because nothing else will take us into Jannah or Jayaan, but Islam will. If you practice Islam, you go to Jannah, otherwise you don't. But in terms of the time, the effort, the focus, it's the same. So just like you can't say, you can't say, well, I will learn cycling by watching some YouTube videos. No. You have to get onto a cycle, you have to get a cycle, get onto a cycle, fall off a few times, learn, get your balance, right? If you are training to be something more complicated than that, cooking for example, or just to be a good cook, you can't say something more complicated than that, say you want to become a physician, a doctor, a surgeon, right? Nobody becomes all these things by watching TikTok videos or by watching some YouTube videos. You do that by giving it your full attention, full time, following a prescribed program under the guidance of a scholar. What is a residency program which you do in the hospitals? It's guidance under scholars. These scholars are called doctors. Okay. You can't say, well, I joined medical school and now I want to do heart surgery on you and please lie down, give me a knife. No. Systematic. But somehow we have a different thinking with our, in the case of Islam. We think that Islam is just, you know, baby listening to a khatira or something, listening to khutbah. All this is good. But these are like the frills. In addition to everything else, I go and sit in the khatira, I listen to a khatira, I listen to a khutbah, I go and listen to a bayaan, and nothing wrong with that. But if this is the only way in which you are getting the, excuse me, don't fool yourself. Do not fool yourself. You will not get the deal like this. You have to apply yourself. Systematic process of study. I'm not even going into, the standards of our Salafi Salihin, of the great scholars of Islam. Because today when we talk about that, it seems like it's some fantasy, you know, like, is it even possible? It is possible. It was possible. They did it. And that's how you and I, we call ourselves Muslims. Alhamdulillah. Abdul Abid Mubarak, one of the greatest of the Tabiur. He said, I learned adab. He said, I learned adab. For 30 years before I touched the subject of Islam. Adab. Just how to behave.…

And peace and blessings be upon the honour of the prophets and messengers. And praise be to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and upon his family and his companions. Peace be upon you all. My brothers and sisters, people ask me different questions. Somebody asked me today about the issues of investing in stocks. And say which are halal stocks and different bodies certify certain companies and they have different reasons for certifying companies and all that. So, my answer is very simple. My answer is that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, through his messenger Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, gave us a standard. And the standard is seven questions. There are seven questions. Three questions that we will be asked in our grave when we die. And four questions that we will have to answer on the Day of Judgment. So, seven questions. So, my... Advice to myself and you is that when it comes to any decision in life, irrespective, any decision, whether it is marriage, whether it is investment, whether it is which school to go to, what job to take, what to eat, what to drink, what not to eat, what not to drink, anything, you name the question. Anytime you come to a decision point, refer it to the question that concerns that decision. You don't have to look for... look at all the seven questions, but the question with respect to that decision. And if the answer is yes, do it. If the answer is no, don't do it. I'll give you examples. First of all, what are the seven questions? What are the three questions in the grave? Anybody? What is the first question which you will be asked? Okay. First, man rabbuq. Who is your Rab? The malaika are not asking, who is Rabbul Alameen? Who is the creator of the heavens and the earth? They're not asking that question. They're saying, who is your Rab? Right? Man rabbuq. What is the second question? Ma deenuk. What is your religion? What did you believe in? And what is the third question? They will say, what do you say about the man who was sent among you? And that is Rasulullah . Three questions in the grave. All three have to do with aqidah, with our belief. It's not a question of, is it good or bad? Who is your Rab? Who is, what is your deen? Who is your Prophet ? Then there are four questions on the Day of Judgment. One of those questions has two parts. Four questions. What are the four questions on the Day of Judgment? We have the hadith of Musa . He said that the feet of the Banu Adam will not move from before their Rabb Jalla Jalaluhu until they answer four questions. You know, I remember, on a side note, I'll come to you in a minute. I remember seeing, I watched a film which was about a prison. So, in this prison, they have different floors and the corridors are made of steel mesh, very thick steel mesh. And the prisoners, I saw that they were wearing shoes with metal soles. And obviously, when they walk, it makes a huge racket. Bang, bang, bang. I'm thinking to myself, why do they have to have metal soles and so on? And then in the film, there is a fight. And as soon as there is a fight, the prison guard simply goes and throws a switch. And there is a very powerful electromagnet in the mesh. It grabs the soles of the shoes and the prisoners are locked in place. They can't move. They can't move. So, if a guy is running, his feet are locked. He falls flat on his face. He can't move. And I remember this, Hadith of Nabi said, the feet of the children of Adam will not move from before the Rabb until they answer these four questions. What are the four questions? What is the first one? Omri. Omri. First one. Omri. Omri. Omri. First one. Yeah. First one. What did you do with your life, with the time that you spent in this world? Next. Second one. Maa shabaabi. What did you do with your youth? Third one. Hilm. Hilm.…

Auto-generated transcript:Alhamdulillah we finished the Yawm al-Arafah today. We ask Allah to reward us in keeping with His Majesty and Grace and to grant our duas and to give us the opportunity for this again and again year after year. The people who are in Hajj, they have completed Yawm al-Arafah standing in Arafah and right now they would be in Muzdarifah, they would have finished the maybe even the Tawaf and so on. And Saeed and waiting for Yawm al-Nahar tomorrow for Eid and we also wait for Eid al-Fitr inshallah tomorrow and Eid al-Adha tomorrow inshallah. We ask Allah to help us to celebrate that in a way that pleases His Majesty and Grace. The Hajj is a beautiful journey. We ask Allah to enable us to do it. Those who have not done it. Make it your Niyah that you will do it next year. That is the number one. It's a Rukur of Islam. It's not just something which is just a Faridah. It's a Rukur. And of course obviously it's a Faridah. So it is something which is absolutely critical, must be done at the first possible opportunity. And I can tell you that it is an Ibadah to be done in your youth. Don't wait till you get old to do Hajj. It's very difficult. When you get old it becomes very difficult. But in your youth, it's very difficult. When you are young, alhamdulillah, it's good. So do it in your youth as soon as you can. Right? If you just think about this, when the person... Hajj is a reminder of the entire cycle of life. When a person puts on his Ihram, he is effectively reminding himself that a day will come when that is how he will live this world. In two pieces of glass. Everything he has will be gone from him. Nothing to destroy. Nothing to distinguish him. Whether he is rich or poor, whether he was a king or he was a pauper, whoever he was. Whether he was a scholar or whether he was ignorant, makes no difference. He will go in the same two pieces of glass. Just like when he puts on his Ihram, they all put on the same clothes. There is nothing to distinguish one from the other. Because in the sight of Allah, everybody is equal. And then when he makes Tawaf, he reminds himself that he is equal. He is equal. He reminds himself that this is the house to which Ibn-i-Aim called the other. He invited. Allah said, you call and I will send. And they come from every part of the globe. In every conceivable means of transport. To this day, there are people who are going to Hajj walking. People are going to Hajj on horseback. Three people from Spain have gone to Hajj this year on horseback. People have gone to Hajj walking. I have a friend of mine in Saudi Arabia. He lives in Jeddah. He is a Muslim. He told me his grandfather and three uncles. His grandfather had four sons. So one son, he told him to stay back. He was in Afghanistan in a place called Swat in Pakistan, Swat Valley. So he, grandfather said, one son, stay here with your mother. They will look after the property. The other three sons he took. And they walked from Swat to Makkah. On the way, closer to Makkah. They got attacked by a gang of Muslims. They were very angry. They were very angry. They have a big mouth. I am a robber. Just these four Bhatans, right. All they had were sticks. They slammed the daylights out of the people. Their leader they captured. They tied him up on ropes and they took him to Makkah. And they handed him over to the police. They say who are these? We are safe. We are unjudged. Who are these people? They are trying to attack us. So what happened? This happened. Take them. So the Saudi Government gives them award and all sorts of things. They arrested these ones and they are doing justice to them. So they have a lot of money. So they took them as a court. That is it. They walked and went for Hajj. Until today, there are people who walk and they walk. Right? Sheikh Abdullah was saying his grandfather took one year from Morocco to Mecca and back. He was 22 years old when he left for Hajj. He had no money. So he would go to some place,…

Auto-generated transcript:My brothers and sisters, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has caused us to be Muslim, be raised as Muslims. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has caused us and granted us, inshallah, and we ask Allah to do that. To grant us Yawm al-Arafah, which here in America will be tomorrow, inshallah. And tomorrow, which is the 5th of June 2025, will be the Yawm al-Arafah in America. As per the sighting of the moon, Abdul Hijjah, which was sighted widely. And this day of Arafah on the 5th of June is based on actual physical sighting of the moon. As per the sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. The Yawm al-Arafah, please note the word Arafah refers to the day of Arafah. And when we say Arafat, it refers to the plains of Arafat outside Mecca, where we stand on this day, B meaning the people who have gone for Hajj, they stand on that, in Arafat, the plain of Arafat on that day. So the Yawm al-Arafah is the name given to the 9th of Dhul Hijjah. Please note and understand. This has nothing to do with people standing in the plains of Arafat. This is coincidental. But the day is the 9th of Dhul Hijjah. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam mentioned in the Hadith about the first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah, that these are the best days of the entire Islamic year. He said, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, in the Hadith mentioned in Musnad Ibn Ahmad, there are no days greater and more beloved. to Allah than these first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah. As we know, Daratul Qadr is the pinnacle of the last 10 nights of Ramadan, and therefore it is the best night of the year. Similarly, the day of Arafah is the pinnacle of the first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah, and thus it is the best day of the entire year. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala also mentioned these days, where He said, wa'l-fajri wa'l-ayyal in Ashr. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala took an oath, by the dawn, Pajr, and He said, the 10 nights, the layal in Ashr. Now the Mufassirin have agreed upon, that this refers to the, these 10 days and those nights, and the only night which is superior to that is Daratul Qadr, and therefore, the dalil of the superiority of these days, is from the Quran, and, from the Hadith, and from the Hadith of Rasulullah . Now, some of the merits of the day of Arafah, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentioned in Surat Al-Buruj, wa'l-samai zaati al-buruj, wa'l-yaumi al-mau'ud, wa-shahidin wa mashhud, by the sky containing, the Qura'at, the constellations, and by the promised day, and by a witness, and one witnessed. The first three ayat of Surat Al-Buruj. Regarding these ayat, Rasulullah s.a.w. said in the Hadith in Tirmidhi, the promised day is the day of resurrection, the one witnessed is the day of Arafah, and the witness is Friday. The sun does not rise or set upon a day, that is more virtuous than it, meaning, the day of, Arafah. Rasulullah s.a.w. said in the Hadith in Muslim Sharif, that there is no day on which Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala frees, more people from the fire, than on the day of Arafah. Indeed, he draws near, and boasts of them to the angels and says, what do these people want? Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala proudly displays, these are my people. Undoubtedly, it would be a wasted opportunity, if we did not, try to be one of those people, who Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala draws close to him, and he forgives. Layatul Qadr is the night when the Quran was first sent down, and the day of Arafah is the day, when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala revealed the ayat of the Quran, where Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said, high spiritual, the different verses, and temporarily hand down the Quranic Kayn, Allah sabeed to you, the enemies of始رائيل. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala also says, the conditions of Qaeda. He said, ückenbr kun Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala recipe guide the supposedMINISREVT'HABE görd внутри you. made that day a day of Eid, a day of festival.
