1:14actions that will gain your love. And
1:16Allah, we ask you for the love of the
1:17people that you love ya arhamar
1:19rahimeen.
1:21>> Bismillah Rahman Rahim.
1:24Uh
1:24I read something today from Ibn
1:26Ata'illah al-Iskandari
1:28in which he said that
1:30if you think you will reach Allah
1:32subhana wa ta'ala by
1:34removing yourself from your faults
1:37and your ayb uyub
1:41uh like deficiencies
1:43he says you'll never reach Allah through
1:44that through that path.
1:47If you try to just remove everything,
1:49you'll never And he says one of the
1:50commentators says cuz they'll always be
1:52there.
1:53We're going to be old like OGs, you know
1:55what I mean? Like old heads. And we'll
1:57still have all of those deficiencies.
2:00But he says the way that you will reach
2:02Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is by adorning
2:04yourself,
2:05covering yourself with the qualities of
2:08God.
2:09With the qualities of Allah subhanahu wa
2:11ta'ala.
2:12Now, what does that mean?
2:14It means that these names of Allah
2:15subhanahu wa ta'ala that we are
2:16studying,
2:18that we have to like
2:19one is one one is like the relationship
2:21I have with Allah through this name.
2:23Number one.
2:25Like I know my creator.
2:27But then there's another impact of how
2:29does this change who I am with the
2:31creation?
2:32Like how do I now, when I walk around, I
2:35remind people of God?
2:38Like that's literally there's a
2:39narration that says like that to the to
2:43the meaning of
2:44who are the ones that you want to spend
2:46time around? It says either or whom that
2:48can Allah.
2:49They're the people that when you see
2:51them, you remember Allah subhanahu wa
2:53ta'ala.
2:55You see them. And so last week, I think
2:56it was last week, I mentioned like are
2:59you that person that if somebody's
3:01moving,
3:02they call you up?
3:04Like yo, we're moving, bro. Help me out.
3:08Or do they move and then later they tell
3:10you, "Yo, I moved." You're like, "Yo,
3:11what happened?" You're like, "Nah, I I
3:12took care of it."
3:14So my my question is when people see us,
3:18remember us, think of us,
3:21do we remind them of Allah subhanahu wa
3:22ta'ala?
3:25Now, how do I do that? I want to become
3:27that person.
3:28Well, by knowing these names of Allah
3:30subhanahu wa ta'ala,
3:32the goal is to become some of the names.
3:34You can't become all the names. And even
3:36if we try, like that there's a level of
3:38the name that is reserved only for
3:39Allah, of course.
3:41Even the best of creation has there's a
3:43limit cuz we're created. Allah is the
3:44creator.
3:46But nonetheless, we can strive and
3:47strive and strive. Like last week, we
3:49learned ar-rahman.
3:52Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says the rasul
3:54said said Ar-Rahimuna
3:56Yarhamhum Ar-Rahman.
3:58That the people who are people of mercy,
4:01Ar-Rahman loves them.
4:03Ar-Rahman loves them. So, what do we do?
4:05Irhamu man fil
4:07have mercy upon people. So, that's the
4:09idea. Ibn Ata' is telling us stop
4:11focusing so much on just cleaning your
4:13faults, cleaning, cleaning. No, just
4:15adorn yourself with these beautiful
4:17qualities of who God is.
4:20Now, tonight inshallah Ta'ala we'll
4:21cover a name of Allah.
4:24That like
4:2530 weeks ago we did a name of Allah that
4:27was similar to this name, but we never
4:30went in depth into this particular name.
4:34And this name of Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala
4:36is Al-Mughni.
4:38Al-Mughni.
4:40Which which easily translates into
4:44the one who enriches us.
4:46Like the light translation is the one
4:49who makes us ghani. In Arabic the word
4:51ghani
4:52like Uthman bin Affan Al-Ghani they call
4:55him, it means to be rich.
4:57It means to be rich.
4:59And one of the names of Allah is Al-
5:02Ghani. That's the name we did back in
5:03the day.
5:05But tonight we study a different name.
5:08See Al-Ghani, why do I need to know
5:10Allah is ghani?
5:11Because if I recognize he is ghani
5:14then it tells me something about my
5:16reality.
5:17And my reality
5:19is that despite no matter how much money
5:21I make
5:23no matter how much money I make
5:25and it's crazy cuz right now the whole
5:27Muslim scene, we got the startup, the
5:29founders
5:31we got like, yo, yo, you know what I
5:33mean?
5:34Man, never mind, whatever.
5:37Like we got the San Fran Muslims got
5:39their startups going.
5:41We got the, you know, DMV Muslims got
5:43their joint going, Seattle like
5:45mashallah.
5:47Like the ummah has never been into money
5:50more, yo. Like, mashallah.
5:53And if your feet Maybe it's my feet. I
5:55was preparing for this. I'm like, maybe
5:56my feet is cooked, yo. Like
5:59I was like, maybe my feet is cooked.
6:01I'mma say so. Like, yo, bro, I don't
6:02know what you're talking about.
6:04But anyways.
6:05So, the the point here is Al-Ghani is
6:09Allah. And what does that name teach us?
6:11We're not going to focus on Ghani. We're
6:12going to talk about Mughni tonight. But
6:14Al-Ghani
6:15is the one who is is is Now, we won't
6:17say God is rich, cuz that doesn't even
6:19make sense. If you like, God is rich,
6:20you're like, bro, I don't even know what
6:21that means.
6:23So, what does it mean that Allah is
6:24Ghani?
6:25Because Ghani, at the end of the day,
6:27what it actually means is to be free of
6:29need.
6:30To be independent and free of any need.
6:34That is why a lot of the rich people
6:36nowadays ain't rich, yo.
6:39A lot of the wealthy people, put it that
6:41way.
6:42A lot of wealthy people aren't rich.
6:45Aren't rich at all.
6:47Because they need that check, yo.
6:50They need that, yo. They need that
6:52square footage of that house, yo.
6:55They need that BMW. Benz, my bad. Benz,
6:58my bad.
7:00They need it, bro.
7:02And and as I was starting the halaqah,
7:04yo, like
7:07I thought to myself
7:09like
7:10wallahi, this is not a flex, but I just
7:12want to share. I grew up poor.
7:15But I didn't realize I was poor till I
7:16saw rich people.
7:19Cuz when I was poor, we were good.
7:23We were good like low-key If I tell
7:25y'all now, you're going to be like, oh
7:26my god.
7:30Wallahi.
7:31Wallahi.
7:32Like
7:34I grew up in Buffalo, New York, okay?
7:36Which is a small little city. It ain't
7:38even all that.
7:40But the it's cold, yo.
7:42It's cold.
7:43I remember
7:45winters when our heat would get turned
7:47off, yo.
7:49Like like like cut off.
7:52Cut off. Well, I I kid you not. We used
7:55to have sleepovers. Cuz back then there
7:56was no parents sleepover. Yeah, go
7:58ahead. Nowadays, who sleeps over
7:59anyone's house, right? We used to have
8:01sleepovers.
8:02I kid you not. The heat would be cut
8:05off. Some of y'all is like, "What does
8:06it mean to be cut off?" But
8:08go online, check it out. You You see
8:10what I mean.
8:11Heat would be cut off.
8:13I would call my friends on the landline.
8:17I'd be like, "Yo, I know we was going to
8:19be at my house today." It's funny. We
8:20would have electricity, but no heat.
8:23>> [laughter]
8:24>> Crazy.
8:25Crazy. I'd be like, "Yo, the heat's cut
8:27off. So, we should go to one of y'all
8:29house today."
8:31They'd be like, "Nah, Mike, we coming to
8:32your house anyway. We'd be cold
8:33together." I kid you not.
8:36It was so cold. We used to be in the
8:37cover
8:38singing our in the house.
8:41In the house.
8:44But I kid you not.
8:46Like you We I'm not saying like feel bad
8:49for me. I didn't feel bad.
8:51But you know what I realized?
8:53What's sadder than that is to see
8:56someone with extreme amount of means,
8:58but they're poor at heart.
9:01I'm going to say that again.
9:04Poverty is not a problem
9:07in the sense of material poverty.
9:11True poverty as the prophet Muhammad
9:14defined poverty, that's what breaks your
9:16heart. And what is that? That is a
9:18person that has the car, has the square
9:20footage, has the house, has the pool.
9:26In Dallas, a pool you next level, bro.
9:29But like they're miserable.
9:32They're miserable.
9:35And it's like subhanallah, that's sad.
9:39And that is why tonight
9:42we look at this name Al-Mughni.
9:45Because Al-Mughni
9:47is the one who enriches. But when you
9:49realize
9:51what enrichment means when God gives it,
9:55oh my it shifts your perspective on am I
9:58poor or am I rich?
10:01Am I poor
10:02or am I rich?
10:04So I'm going to start off with with a
10:06verse of Quran.
10:08Where Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says,
10:12Ash-Shaytanu
10:13ya'idukumul faqra.
10:16Shaytan warns you, scares you.
10:20Yo, you're going to be poor, bro.
10:22Ya'idukumul faqra.
10:24Wa ya'murukum bil fahsha'.
10:26And because he warns you, oh you're
10:27going to be broke, you're going to be
10:28poor,
10:30he uses that as a gateway to force you
10:33to haram.
10:34Like I I got to do this haram thing or
10:36else I'm a I'm going to be broke.
10:39My family won't respect me.
10:41Ash-Shaytan, what does Shaytan do? Tells
10:43you you're going to be poor.
10:45That's interesting, okay.
10:47There's another verse where Allah says,
10:50Ya ayyuhan nasu antumul fuqara'u
10:53ilallah.
10:54Oh mankind,
10:56know that every one of you
10:59fuqara'u ilallah. What does faqir mean?
11:02You're poor.
11:03But here's the beautiful part. So
11:05Shaytan scares me I'm going to be poor,
11:07but then Allah tells me I am poor. I
11:09don't get it. I Should I be scared of
11:12poverty?
11:13The big difference is here.
11:16What we realize tonight by this name
11:19is what true poverty actually is.
11:22Because Allah says in that verse,
11:25Ya ayyuhan nasu antumul fuqara'u
11:29ilallah.
11:30That oh humanity,
11:32every one of you
11:34wealthiest person
11:37least wealthiest person
11:39All
11:42of you are poor, but here's the key. You
11:45are to God.
11:47You are equally in need of Allah.
11:51And here's where it truly hit me.
11:55Allah does use people to give us things.
11:58He does give us things through things.
12:01But what I realized is
12:05the thing that I was searching for in my
12:07marriage
12:09that deep deep feeling of appreciation
12:11and love
12:15I can only get that deep deep deep deep
12:17deep feeling from Allah.
12:22That feeling I want from being wealthy.
12:25You don't want wealth. What do you want?
12:28What do you want? What do you want the
12:29wealth for?
12:31Ask yourself truly, why do you want the
12:33wealth?
12:35Some of you if you're real with
12:36yourself, I want to flex. Okay, cool.
12:38You want to flex. Be real with me for a
12:39second.
12:41I want to flex. Okay, tell me why you
12:43need to flex so much though.
12:45I need people to see me, man.
12:47I need to be seen.
12:49Ah.
12:51You know what Allah's name is?
12:53Al Basir, bro.
12:54He's watching you. He's never took his
12:56eyes off you.
12:59Some of you know, I don't want to be
13:00seen. I could be rich and don't nobody
13:02know.
13:05You want security maybe.
13:06I just want to be secure.
13:08Sister, that money ain't going to secure
13:10nothing.
13:14Mhm.
13:16You know who's going to secure you?
13:19Al Mu'min
13:21Al Mu'min, that's the name of Allah. Al
13:23Mu'min, the one who gives you security.
13:26So what I'm what I'm what I'm realizing
13:29is that
13:30the fakir I'm the fakir, you're the
13:33fakir.
13:35But what I realized is where other
13:36people think that they can enrich
13:39themselves and remove the the poverty
13:41nature of themselves,
13:43what we realized tonight is if you try
13:46to fill it with anything but God, you'll
13:48always be poor.
13:50Always be poor. And what does that mean?
13:52Needing more. How can you reach millions
13:55and be like, I need to be a billionaire?
13:58I kid you not. That person who's a
14:00billionaire, I guarantee when he was
14:03getting his first 100,000, he was like,
14:04if I just get 200, I'll be good.
14:08You think he was thinking about trillion
14:09and billion when he was like getting his
14:11first 100?
14:13No.
14:15But because and this I was talking to a
14:17friend,
14:18you know,
14:21you know the analogy of a rainbow?
14:22What's at the end of the rainbow?
14:24What's at the end of the rainbow, yo?
14:26Pot of gold.
14:28That's the nature of this dunya.
14:31The nature of the dunya is that they
14:33tell you if you get it, you'll be good.
14:35If you get it, you'll be good. If you
14:37get it, you'll be good. And we keep
14:39chasing and chasing and you get to the
14:40rainbow, you get to the end,
14:43and the Wizard of Oz ain't who he was.
14:47The Wizard of Oz is fake.
14:49He ain't even real.
14:52And so so tonight what I want us to do
14:55is I'm going to go deeper into this name
14:56Al-Ghani, Al-Mughni.
14:59But I want us to see how
15:01we understand two types of poverty.
15:05Poverty of material means.
15:07And I hope my mother isn't watching cuz
15:09she did her best, yo.
15:11She did her best.
15:12I don't I'm not even salty. Wallahi, I'm
15:14not salty. Those those those cold nights
15:17made me, bro.
15:19Alhamdulillah.
15:21And I'm not it's no flex. Wallahi, no
15:23flex.
15:24So, there's material poverty
15:26that we see around the world.
15:28But, if you go to those refugee camps in
15:31Jordan, if you go to those places around
15:33the world, you will realize something,
15:36you're poorer than they are.
15:39Can I repeat that? You are poorer than
15:41they are.
15:43Because
15:45you have and don't have.
15:47They don't have and have.
15:51Does that I don't know if this is making
15:52sense, bro.
15:54I don't even know if I'm making sense
15:55over here, bro.
15:57You have and don't have.
16:00And that to me, I've realized is sadder.
16:04So, let's look at a few Hadith.
16:07The first Hadith I want us to understand
16:10is the Hadith where the Prophet
16:11Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
16:13he said, "Laysal ghina
16:15an kathratil a'rad."
16:18The Rasul Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he
16:19said,
16:20"Richness is not having abundance of
16:22means."
16:24Ris- richness has nothing to do with
16:26abundance of means.
16:28"Walakinnal ghina
16:30ghinan nafs."
16:32Walakin, but the true richness,
16:35the true richness is a self that doesn't
16:38need any more.
16:40A self that doesn't have this desire to
16:42have more, that's when you know you're
16:44rich.
16:45And that's why the scholars, they used
16:46to say, "At-tama' faqr." Arabic.
16:50"At-tama' faqr."
16:52Wanting more is poverty.
16:54You're poor. The moment you want more,
16:56you're poor, bro.
16:58But, the moment you're like, "I'm good."
17:00"I'm good."
17:02I got to pause, cuz sometimes I think
17:04what happens is, especially in this
17:05time, I'm telling you we're in the
17:06Muslim founder time, startup tech, all
17:08of you guys are like, "I got to do
17:09stuff."
17:09No one told you to not build it build
17:11things that will benefit people and
17:13humanity.
17:15But, the idea that that thing will
17:17satiate the need inside of you
17:21to be seen,
17:23to be secure,
17:25to be understood,
17:28that need will never be filled by that
17:30thing.
17:31And that's what we're learning tonight.
17:32Al-Mughni is the one who enriches.
17:35But what does that mean when he
17:37enriches? I'm going to take you straight
17:39to a verse of Quran. There are two
17:40verses in the Quran that speak directly
17:42about Allah will yughnika, enrich you.
17:45You know what they are? One is marriage,
17:47one is divorce.
17:49One is marriage
17:51and one is divorce.
17:53So, y'all want the good or the bad?
17:54Which one we go first? Which one?
17:57>> Divorce.
17:58>> Divorce. Well, it's all good, brother.
18:00>> [laughter]
18:01>> Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala, he says
18:04regarding divorce,
18:06the reality is the reality is that
18:09divorce is a part of our religion for a
18:10reason.
18:12It's there It's not We're not Catholics.
18:13You know what I mean? I was talking to a
18:14Catholic priest the other day. I was
18:16like she was the person was like, "I do
18:17like marriage counseling in
18:19Catholicism." I was like, "But y'all
18:20ain't got divorce."
18:21She's like, "Yeah, we got annulment." I
18:23was like, "Huh? What you mean?" She's
18:24like, "We just go back in history and
18:25like it didn't count from the
18:26beginning." I was like, "Oh, y'all
18:27shady, bro."
18:30Oh, y'all be just playing with the
18:31sharia, bro.
18:34You're playing I didn't count from the
18:35beginning. Oh, okay.
18:37No, our religion has divorce for a
18:39reason.
18:41Has divorce for a reason. It's because
18:44there Allah can give you something
18:46through a person for a time being
18:49and bless you immensely
18:51and give you something amazing through
18:53that time.
18:55And that's okay.
18:57There are amazing Sahaba.
19:00I'll tell you a story. Al-Mughith and
19:02Barirah.
19:04It's a complicated fiqh issue, but
19:06basically Barirah
19:09So, she was a slave cuz that was allowed
19:11back then all right, back then, right?
19:13And she got freed.
19:15But when she got freed, this ruling
19:17kicked in where the the guy she was
19:19married to,
19:20and Mugheeth,
19:21she actually didn't have to stay
19:23married. She could have stayed married
19:24or left him.
19:25It's an issue. It's a nuanced issue.
19:28So, what happened?
19:29The moment she got freed,
19:31she told Mugheeth,
19:38"I'm out."
19:39Now, in Medina, this was a big deal.
19:42You know why?
19:44Because
19:45Mugheeth
19:46loved her so much.
19:49You This is in Bukhari. You can look
19:50anywhere for this. Mugheeth
19:52Bareerah.
19:53Mugheeth was walking around Medina
19:56following her.
19:57Following her.
19:59And he's like, "Please, please." And
20:01she's like, "I'm good. I'm good. I'm
20:03good.
20:04No."
20:05The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
20:07one day,
20:08while this whole drama is playing out in
20:10Medina,
20:11y'all drinking the tea now. Y'all like,
20:12"What happened next?"
20:14Whole drama playing out in Medina.
20:16Mugheeth is just trying. He's doing
20:18everything he can. Like, "Please, please
20:20stay with me."
20:22She's like, "No, I'm good. No, no, no."
20:25The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
20:26steps in.
20:28And he's like, "Oh, Bareerah,
20:30why don't you just, you know, keep the
20:31guy?"
20:32She says,
20:34"Is this a order, or is this just a
20:36recommendation?"
20:38She He says, "It's just a
20:39recommendation." She says, "No, I'm
20:41good."
20:43Ya Rabb.
20:44She is an amazing woman. Mugheeth is an
20:46amazing man.
20:49It's okay.
20:50It was a funny moment where where
20:53literally the Sahaba are chilling,
20:54Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is
20:55chilling, and they walk past. Bareerah
20:58with Mugheeth behind her. "Please,
20:59please." And the Prophet Sallallahu
21:01Alaihi Wasallam he says, "Man, look.
21:02Whoa."
21:03He goes, "Look how much he loves her,
21:05and how much she hates him."
21:07He literally said, you could look this
21:08Hadith up.
21:11I say this because there is nothing
21:12wrong with divorce. Yes,
21:15if there if it's if there's a good
21:17marriage, why would you do that
21:18unnecessarily? Why would you break up
21:20something beautiful?
21:22But it's a part of our religion for a
21:23reason. Does that make sense?
21:25Now, with that said, let's look at this
21:27verse.
21:31Now, sometimes,
21:33let's take the case that we objectively
21:35all agree this marriage is not a good
21:37marriage. Let's say we all agree, like
21:3899 out of 100 people going to be like,
21:40yeah, y'all should split is yeah.
21:42You know what I mean?
21:45But sometimes we stay in. Why?
21:48Fear.
21:49Fear.
21:51Where will my security come from?
21:54Where will my wealth come from?
21:56Where will my love come from?
21:59Where will I get that from?
22:02Do you feel me?
22:04This room too young, man.
22:06This room [snorts] too young, man. It's
22:08all good. Somebody online like preach.
22:10Go ahead. Go ahead.
22:12>> [laughter]
22:13>> So, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
22:15Allah says in this verse, "Wa in
22:17yatafarraqa,
22:18and if they happen to split, wa in
22:21yatafarraqa, if they happen to split,
22:25yughni yugh yughnihima Allahu min kullin
22:28min sa'atihi."
22:29Allahu subhanahu wa ta'ala says, "Wa in
22:31yatafarraqa,
22:32yughnihima Allahu kullin min sa'atihi."
22:36Allah will yughni. Allah will enrich
22:39both of them
22:41from his vastness.
22:44Meaning, if you have to do this,
22:47don't stop because of fear. I got you. I
22:50am mughni.
22:51Your husband is not mughni.
22:53Your wife is not mughni.
22:56And the word says, "Kullin."
22:59Kullin. Allah will bless her. Allah will
23:01bless him. Allah will bless those kids.
23:03Allahu Akbar.
23:06Allah says, "I got everybody down."
23:09Because I'm Mughni.
23:11And how many people stay stuck because
23:14they think she's Mughni?
23:16Or
23:18vice versa.
23:20Where will I get love from? Where will I
23:22get money from? Where will
23:25Allah is Mughni.
23:27And And Allah does give us people. I
23:29want to say this. Allah does give us
23:32through people.
23:33There is a beautiful verse most of us
23:35know. Wa wajadaka 'ailan
23:38fa'aghna. You know what that verse says?
23:40Oh Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
23:43Wa wajadaka
23:45and we found you
23:48Wa wajadaka and God found you poor.
23:51Fa'aghnak
23:53and he enriched you. Do you know what
23:55the tafsir of that typically is?
23:58We married you to Khadijah.
24:01We married you to the Khadijah. Allah
24:03says Allah says, "I I enriched you
24:07through her."
24:08Allahu [laughter] Akbar.
24:10Allahu Akbar. And my man is afraid to
24:12marry an accomplished woman.
24:17Bro, you tripping.
24:18>> [laughter]
24:20>> You tripping.
24:23The prophet alayhi wasallam in a verse
24:25Allah says, "I found you in need and I
24:27enriched you." All the mufassirin say,
24:29"Enriched you by marrying you to
24:32Khadijah radiyallahu anha."
24:35So, Allah does enrich us through people.
24:39Do you get the balance of what I'm
24:40saying?
24:42But sometimes those people leave you,
24:44leave the world, something you leave
24:45something Like it happens. That's life.
24:50And it broke his heart when Allah took
24:51Khadijah away.
24:54It broke his heart
24:56when he lost Khadijah.
24:59And he never forgot her.
25:01He never forgot her sal Allah alayhi
25:03wasallam.
25:04He used to always remember her.
25:07Until Aisha used to say,
25:09"Why do you remember this old lady?
25:11Allah has replaced you with better."
25:18Do you know what he said?
25:20Because you always got to defend people.
25:22He said, "Allah has not replaced her
25:24with better."
25:26Yeah, some of y'all are like, "I don't
25:27even know how to take that." I'll tell
25:28you how to take it. People can't be
25:30replaced.
25:32People can't be replaced. If May Allah
25:33protect us. If you lose a child, you can
25:36have 10 more childs. That doesn't You
25:37know what I'm trying to say? You can't
25:39replace people.
25:40Yes, Allah will give you someone else
25:42maybe, but that person is never
25:43replaceable.
25:45Ever in life.
25:46They are a unique creation of God.
25:50Their genetic sequence is unique. It
25:52never came before, never come again.
25:54They are special.
25:56So, they can never be replaced.
25:58Yes, Allah gave me you, yes Aisha, and I
26:01love you. And he would say that openly.
26:04But, no one replaced anybody here.
26:06That's not how this world works.
26:09But, my point is that yes, God gives us
26:12people through which he enriches us.
26:15But, what do you do when
26:17that person leaves you or passes away or
26:22what do you do?
26:23You have to remember that what I truly
26:26needed was given through God, not them.
26:31Exactly, Moz. Subhan Allah.
26:34What I truly needed was given to me
26:36through Allah
26:39and not through the person.
26:42Not through the person.
26:46Wa in yatafarraqa
26:48yughni humu Allahu kullun min sa'atihi.
26:50And if they split, Allah subhana wa
26:52ta'ala will enrich both of them from his
26:55vastness.
26:56From his vastness.
26:58It's beautiful verse.
27:00And it reminds us to shift our focus
27:02back to Al-Mughni.
27:05Now let's move to the second verse.
27:07The second verse.
27:12The second verse is about marriage.
27:16It's mainly addressing men, but it could
27:18address women, too.
27:20Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala he says, "Wal
27:22yasta'fif alladheena la yajidoona
27:24nikahan
27:25hatta yughniyahum Allahu min fadlih."
27:29Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala he says,
27:31"Let those who don't find the means to
27:34get married."
27:37And that's why I said typically it's
27:38considered for men.
27:40Because you could be young, handsome,
27:43emotionally intelligent,
27:46broke.
27:50Ain't no uncle in the back going to give
27:51you her hand. Sorry, I can't. What you
27:52want me to do?
27:54You want PB&J Crustables?
27:57I just I would, you're a great guy.
28:01You are objectively a great guy. You're
28:03just
28:04You got to get a job, man.
28:07Right? So this verse is typically
28:09regarding men because it says la
28:11yajidoona nikahan, yani they don't have
28:14the material means. And this is why when
28:16we talk about ghina, the Quran does
28:19refer to ghina as actual money, too.
28:23It says, "Let those who do not find the
28:26means to marry,
28:28let them remain chaste. Hold it down,
28:30man.
28:32Hold it down.
28:33Patient. Don't go to haram.
28:35Don't go to haram while you wait for
28:37halal.
28:38Because what you're seeking in the halal
28:40cannot be found in the haram.
28:43I'mma repeat that.
28:45Don't go to haram while you're for
28:47halal.
28:49Because what you're seeking in the halal
28:52you can't get it in the haram.
28:55You won't get it.
28:56I just trust me if you if try you can't.
29:00What you truly desire
29:03can only be get be be received through
29:04the halal.
29:06And that is a hadith, not my words.
29:08The hadith of the prophet Sallallahu
29:09alaihi wasallam he says
29:10do not let the delay
29:13of risk sustenance
29:15force you to seek it
29:17in the disobedience of God.
29:20Because you can never get what God wants
29:22for you from haram.
29:24You might get a dumbed-down quick
29:26dopamine version of it.
29:28Does that make sense? You get the
29:30dopamine quick ver- you ain't getting
29:31serotonin. You know what I mean?
29:34Y'all don't even Man, they don't even
29:35feel me with the Y'all don't
29:36I'm on another level with y'all now, you
29:38know what I mean?
29:39You're not getting that true good
29:40feeling.
29:42You're getting that quick dopamine hit.
29:45After which you feel horrible.
29:47But you know that serotonin is that real
29:49goodness, you know what I mean? They
29:51can't bottle that stuff up.
29:53Every addictive drug works off that
29:55dopamine receptor.
29:57Dopamine receptor, dopamine receptor.
29:59I'm in my bag right now, psychology, yo.
30:03Every one of those addictions is based
30:05on that dopamine receptor right there.
30:08So Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala he says in
30:10this we're looking at that that's that
30:13that hadith
30:15that don't seek out
30:17the halal don't seek out through the
30:18haram
30:20that can only be received through the
30:22thing through the halal.
30:24So what does this verse say? Stay
30:25chaste, man.
30:27Hold it down. Get a job.
30:29Work hard.
30:32Do what you got to do
30:33to prove to Allah you're ready.
30:36So what does the verse say?
30:38You got to be Allah. And you You what
30:40the verse says? It doesn't say wait
30:42until
30:43you blow up, until you get it. It says
30:46wait till God enriches you, man.
30:48Just do the work, Allah will enrich you.
30:51Do the work, Allah will enrich you. Do
30:53the work, Allah will enrich you.
30:55And that's all we're
30:56So, what is this verse like the reason I
30:58wanted us to understand this verse
31:01is because
31:03what we truly desire out of marriage
31:07what we truly want out of it
31:10is that bond, that love, that emotional
31:12connection. That's what we truly want.
31:15Even those that are very physical and
31:17like what they truly desire more than is
31:19that emotional bond.
31:21That's what they're truly seeking after.
31:24And that can only be given by God.
31:26Cuz he's Al-Mughni.
31:28He can give you the form of marriage and
31:31it be completely devoid of all emotion.
31:36And he can give you wealth
31:38and you feel poor, broke.
31:41You feel broke, man.
31:43Cuz the moment you get that new joint
31:45you drive off the lot, you need another
31:47one.
31:49You drive off the lot, you need another
31:51one.
31:53Subhanallah.
31:54You know, they they show us these
31:56extremely wealthy people that flaunt and
31:58show and it's just it sometimes it
32:00breaks your heart.
32:01Because you see what happened.
32:03Some of it they all larping anyway, but
32:05we can talk about that later.
32:07Well, yo, larping actually fits in here
32:09low-key. I'll I'll tell you how.
32:11I'll tell you how. No, no, for real.
32:14We have become so focused
32:16on the external form of richness
32:19that we even have a term for faking
32:21you're externally rich.
32:23Yo, do you know what level of delusion
32:25we're living in?
32:26The prophet said to me saying actual
32:28money won't make you rich. And now we're
32:31doing what? Larping. Which means what?
32:33I'm going to pretend to be fake rich.
32:36I'm a fake, fake richness.
32:40Yo, Allahu Akbar.
32:43I'm going to fake
32:45the false form of richness. Oh my god,
32:48where are we at? Let me explain. I got
32:50you. Sister like, what does he mean? I
32:51got you.
32:52I got you. Listen.
32:54The prophet said you're not rich if you
32:56have things.
32:57You're rich if your heart is content
32:59with what you got, correct?
33:01Correct?
33:02So, that means richness
33:05has nothing to do with what you have.
33:07Richness is right here.
33:09That little kid in Sudan, boy is rich.
33:12Smiling with nothing.
33:14That's richness. Do we agree?
33:17Cool.
33:18Then there's a fake richness.
33:20Wealth, amassing things.
33:23Like, you have things, but you're empty.
33:26That's why it's fake.
33:27You have
33:29which is an oxymoron. It doesn't even
33:30make sense. How can you have and have
33:32nothing? That's why the dean is so
33:33beautiful. It's like, Allahu Akbar, our
33:35religion is so beautiful.
33:37So, fake richness is to have a lot of
33:39things. You have a lot of wealth, a lot
33:40of cars, a lot of
33:42You got all this stuff.
33:44But it's fake rich.
33:45But now we're at a state where people
33:48fake
33:53fake richness.
33:55Does it make sense? Now, y'all in the
33:56car right home, they going to break it
33:57down to you guys.
34:00Got you.
34:02But some of You get what I'm saying.
34:03Which means, this what it means to me.
34:05We have gone so far away
34:08from what it means to truly be rich
34:11that now we don't even mind faking this
34:13form of richness because
34:15at least I'm You Subhanallah.
34:19Subhanallah.
34:20Let's go deeper here though. It's so
34:21profound. Allahu Al-Mughni. Allahu
34:24Al-Mughni. When you remember that God is
34:26Al-Mughni, it forces you to question,
34:28how do I consider richness?
34:30That's the point of tonight. When you
34:32call Al Mughni
34:34because you lost your job.
34:36And low-key the economy is hard right
34:38now, for real for real. All jokes aside.
34:41All jokes aside.
34:43So so we ask Allah to enrich us.
34:47We beg Allah subhana wa ta'ala to enrich
34:49us
34:50with halal risk.
34:51Ameen.
34:53Ameen.
34:55But the the point I'm trying to make in
34:57this is that by knowing who Al Mughni
35:00and that's his name, that he enriches,
35:02it automatically forces you that when
35:04you ask him, "Ya Allah, enrich me."
35:07You're automatically saying, "Wait, if
35:09Allah is the enriches, I got to ask
35:11myself,
35:12how do I consider richness?"
35:15Now, let me go deeper here.
35:17There was a young man by the name of
35:18Rabi'ah
35:20who used to serve the Prophet sal Allahu
35:21alayhi wasallam.
35:23And one day
35:25he had prepared
35:27wudu water for the Prophet sal Allahu
35:29alayhi wasallam at Tahajjud time.
35:31He prepared wudu water for him. So when
35:33the Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wasallam
35:34got up and the wudu water was ready.
35:37You know, that's like subhana Allah,
35:38that's like 15-20 minutes right there.
35:40So the Prophet sal Allahu alayhi
35:41wasallam, he saw the water, he saw
35:43Rabi'ah, he said, "Rabi'ah,
35:46ask me whatever you want." It's Tahajjud
35:48time. Rasul Allah sal Allahu alayhi
35:50wasallam is saying, "Ask me whatever."
35:52Bro.
35:54Do you understand the epicness of this
35:56moment?
35:57It's Tahajjud time. You already know
35:59Allah comes down in the like duas
36:00accepted. And the Prophet is saying,
36:02"Ask me whatever you want." Whatever you
36:04want. You know what he says?
36:07He says, "Unzurni hatta anzur." He says,
36:09"Give me time. I need to think about
36:11it." First of all, that's amazing right
36:12there.
36:13Just off the strength right there where
36:15he's like, "I'll get back to you."
36:18Like
36:20like your boss walks in and like,
36:21"You've been amazing, Fatima. What just
36:24whatever you want is yours." You're like
36:26you you don't right away. You're like,
36:28"Give me a second. I'll get back to
36:29you."
36:29Cuz you're sharp.
36:31The next day the Prophet sees Rabia. He
36:34ain't going to let him sit too long. The
36:36offer isn't there forever.
36:38So, he says, "Rabia, what is it?"
36:40He says,
36:43"Make dua
36:44that I'm your neighbor in Jannah."
36:49Hold up. The Prophet You know what he
36:50says? He says,
36:52"Man, who
36:53taught you this?"
36:56Like like a hold up. Who taught you? Was
36:58it Abu Bakr? Like like who taught you
36:59this?
37:00"How did you get this?" You know what he
37:02said? He said, "No, I realized
37:04something." He says, "I realized that
37:06this world is fleeting." Allah.
37:10He's like,
37:11"I realized that this world is fleeting.
37:14And because it's fleeting,
37:16I saw your position with God.
37:19And I knew what to ask for."
37:22Now, you know what I actually think?
37:25He actually said something in that
37:27statement that really opened my mind up.
37:29And I I I wrote it down.
37:31He says,
37:33"No one told me anything.
37:34What I can be I learned. I knew.
37:37And the dunya when cut here, this dunya
37:39is going to end. Why would I ask for
37:41money? That's dumb. I have the dua of
37:44you. I'm going to ask for money?
37:47See, here's what I said. You remember
37:48how I said like you want to become
37:49famous? Why? Cuz you really want people
37:50to accept you and love you. You want
37:52money? Why? Cuz you want security. Like
37:55he realized
37:58he realized something.
38:00He realized what he truly wanted.
38:03And a lot of us don't know what we truly
38:05want.
38:07A lot of us in this room don't know.
38:09What do you really want, man?
38:13Anyways,
38:14he says,
38:19He says, "I realized this dunya is
38:21fleeting
38:22and I realized the position that you
38:25have
38:27with God.
38:28Like how close you are with God.
38:30So that's the dua I want you to make.
38:33That's the dua I
38:35I just want to be right next to you. But
38:37but you know what's crazy?
38:39Why does he want to be right next to
38:40him? He said it.
38:43Cuz I know how close you are to God.
38:47I know how close you are to Allah.
38:50This is profound.
38:52Because when he realized what he wanted
38:54because I I'm speaking about being
38:56enriched and need. And I'm asking you
38:59what is it that you truly need, what you
39:01truly want?
39:02Ask Allah for that.
39:04And go beyond the external. Let me share
39:07one more thing which is so profound.
39:09Because everyone needs this reminder,
39:11the reminder we're getting right now
39:13that Al-Mughni is the one that doesn't
39:14just give you the external richness,
39:17the form of richness, but the reality of
39:20richness which is a heart that is free
39:21of need.
39:23One time, it was after the Battle of
39:25Hunayn.
39:27After the Battle of Hunayn,
39:29in the Battle of Hunayn,
39:31we got a lot of spoils of war,
39:33more money than we had ever seen.
39:36Here's the backdrop. The Ansar, the
39:39people from Medina, they had given all
39:41of their money and everything to support
39:43the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
39:44when he first came.
39:45And to support the immigrants that had
39:47come from Mecca.
39:48So you have to understand, Ansar had
39:50given all their money.
39:52Everything for who? For the Prophet
39:53Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
39:55and for the people who migrated from
39:57where?
39:58Mecca.
39:59Now, what happens after the Battle of
40:01Hunayn?
40:02There's more money than we've ever seen.
40:05So now it's time for the Prophet
40:06Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam to distribute
40:08this money.
40:09To give it out.
40:11Because these were the people in the
40:12war, that was the norm of the time.
40:13Cool.
40:14So So, begins to give it out.
40:17But, you know what he does?
40:19He gives out
40:2199.9%
40:23of it
40:24to the people of Mecca.
40:27To the people of Mecca.
40:29I I don't know an analogy that to for us
40:31to understand, but you just got to
40:33understand the scenario.
40:34The people of Medina have protected me
40:36for the last 13 years. They've died for
40:39me.
40:40And the day comes where we have more
40:42money at our disposal than ever.
40:45Now, think naturally and be real. Where
40:48should that money have gone in in your
40:50mind? Be real.
40:52To the people who sacrificed everything.
40:54Correct?
40:56So, now the Prophet Sallallahu alayhi
40:57wasallam, what does he do?
40:59He starts giving it out.
41:00And he's giving it out to like
41:03brand new Muslims. I'm talking dudes
41:06that just converted 24 hours ago.
41:08Not that there's anything wrong, but
41:10like, yeah, whatever. But, the point is
41:13like, they don't even know the deen yet.
41:16They don't know anything yet.
41:18And I've been Muslim for 13 years.
41:22Now, do you get the emotion in the room?
41:25You feel me?
41:26So, what happens?
41:28One of the Sahaba,
41:30I think it was a
41:31Sa'd ibn Rabi'ah,
41:33or Sa'd ibn Malik, one of the
41:35leading of the
41:37the Ansar, he comes to the Prophet
41:39Sallallahu alayhi wasallam and you know
41:39what he says? He said, "Ya Rasul Allah,
41:43there's a little bit of chatter
41:45amongst the Ansar.
41:48They're upset
41:50that you're giving all this money
41:52to the
41:54new Muslims of Mecca.
41:56Some of these people aren't even Muslim.
41:58And we've been by your side this whole
42:00time."
42:02The Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wasallam
42:03looked at Sa'd. He goes, "What do you
42:04think?"
42:06Sa'd is just a messenger. He But, he
42:07goes, "I'm just one of my people's
42:09people. You know what I mean?" He didn't
42:11affirm it. He didn't deny it. The
42:13prophet he said, "Call all the Ansar
42:15into one tent. I need to talk to them."
42:18So, so they gather all the Ansar, all of
42:20them.
42:21And they're all in a tent.
42:24And they come and get the prophet
42:25they say, "Ya Rasul Allah, they're all
42:27here."
42:28Rasul walks in. He says, "Is anybody
42:30else here?"
42:32They say, "No, it's only Ansar."
42:34He goes,
42:37"If you wanted to say this, you could
42:38say it and it would be true.
42:41And you would be true and I would
42:42support you. You could say what I'm
42:44about to say. You could say that I came
42:46rejected and you accepted me.
42:48I came poor and you enriched me.
42:51I came with nothing and you gave me
42:53everything. You could say that to me."
42:55This is what he's saying. "You could say
42:56that to me and you would be true and I
42:58would say you are true."
43:01And then he goes,
43:03"What's wrong with y'all?
43:06These people are going home
43:08with gold, silver, goats, and camels.
43:13And you're taking me to your home."
43:18Now, I got to
43:19I didn't do a good job.
43:22Because you didn't get what he just
43:23said.
43:26He said to them,
43:27"I gave these people money,
43:31but I gave you me."
43:33That's what he said.
43:36Who was given more?
43:38Now, some of us in this room we're so
43:41melodious, but we're so disconnected.
43:44There's a little shape on in us that
43:45like, "Yeah, but the money."
43:47It's okay. We'll get there. We'll get
43:49there. Ask Allah to open your heart.
43:50Wallah, ask Allah to open your heart.
43:52Ask Allah to open your heart. Because
43:54they realized immediately. They said,
43:57"Oh my god.
43:58This guy's taking goats home.
44:01Goats. Now, goats are are valuable.
44:05But I have Rasul Allah coming home me.
44:08Why am I sharing this? Because even the
44:11greatest of people needed that reset of
44:13what is true ghina. What is true
44:16richness?
44:18And why am I saying this? So that you
44:20don't make dua that Allah bless you with
44:22a new job. So that you don't make dua
44:24that Allah 10x your company. No. I'm
44:26saying this so that when the 10x comes,
44:30you already had your heart connected to
44:31Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala.
44:33When you do get married to Prince
44:35Charming,
44:36you already had your heart still
44:37connected with Allah.
44:39You all right, but I got Allah.
44:43You do get wifey. Amazing. But guess
44:46what?
44:47You still get what you truly truly need
44:50from Al-Mughni.
44:52Al-Mughni.
44:54Al-Mughni. And so may Allah Subhana Wa
44:56Ta'ala enrich us in every meaning of the
44:59word enrichment.
45:01May he allow us to truly understand what
45:04enrichment means. May he allow us to in
45:07the case of separation understand that
45:09he is Al-Mughni no matter what. May
45:12Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala bless us with
45:14this true understanding of what it means
45:17to be truly rich and what it means to be
45:20truly poor. If we understand this,
45:23we understand this through the name
45:25Al-Mughni.
45:27And listen, I'mma say this.
45:30Uh yo, do your thing.
45:33Make the money, do what you got to do.
45:36But trust me.
45:38Trust No, don't trust Rasul Allah. I
45:40said Allah.
45:42It won't give you what you think it's
45:43giving you.
45:45And as long as you know that there's no
45:46pot of gold at the end, go after it,
45:48bro.
45:50And as long as you know
45:52that what you're truly seeking is Allah,
45:55and I'll give you the Here's the deal.
45:57Here You want the real hack our teachers
45:59used to tell us? When you run from the
46:01dunya, what does it do?
46:03It chases you. They say the dunya, what
46:05is dunya? Like this world? The dunya is
46:07like your shadow. You go after it, it'll
46:09run from you. You run away, it chases
46:11after you. That's the dunya.
46:13Abdur-Rahman bin Auf died with a
46:15portfolio of about $5 billion in today's
46:17assets.
46:19$5 billion. Abdur-Rahman bin Auf, you
46:22could do the math.
46:24Do you know what he says?
46:25They said, "How are you dying with so
46:26much money?
46:28It's like not good. Like, bro."
46:31He says, "Wallahi, I tried to give it
46:32away."
46:33Wallahi, I tried to give it away.
46:36Every time I gave it away,
46:40Allah would just give me.
46:42Because he understood what poverty
46:44meant, and he understood what wealth
46:45meant.
46:46And so he kept giving away because he
46:48understood that true wealth
46:50is the wealth that Allah gives me in my
46:51heart, in my relationship with him.
46:54So as we ask Allah after salah for
46:56wealth,
46:57say Al-Mughni. Say that name. Why? So
47:00that you remember what the true wealth
47:01actually actually is.
47:04There are many many big houses all
47:05around Dallas.
47:07They're not homes though, yo.
47:10Do you get what I mean?
47:12They're large, man.
47:15They're big houses, bro.
47:17Frisco.
47:19Allen.
47:21But they're empty. They're not homes,
47:23man.
47:24And there's many people living in a
47:26small apartment, man. 1,500 square feet,
47:28800 square feet. And there's so much joy
47:31in that home.
47:33Dudes cook She's cooking that. He's
47:35doing this. Playing with the kids. It's
47:37like life.
47:39Big old house. Everyone grumpy, mad at
47:41each other.
47:44The prophet told us,
47:46"True richness is richness of the heart,
47:48not richness in your hands." May Allah
47:50bless us and allow us to understand
47:51that.
47:59>> Subhana rabbika rabbil izzati amma
48:01yasifun.
48:03Wa salamun ala mursalin walhamdullilahi
48:05rabbil alameen.
