0:27Welcome Dr. Haifaa Younis, VICS visiting
0:29scholar.
0:31Jazak Allahu Khair. Assalamualaikum.
0:34Masha Allah tabarak Allah. Is that
0:36normal every Friday?
0:39Masha Allah. And then Allah Subhana Wa
0:41Ta'ala said "Lildhakari mithlu hadhil
0:42unthayayn."
0:44The man usually inherit double the
0:46woman, right?
0:48Looks like in lectures it's the
0:49opposite.
0:51So alhamdulillah rabbil alameen.
0:52Bismillah walhamdulillah wassalatu
0:54wassalamu ala rasulillah
0:56wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa man walalah.
0:58Allahumma allimna ma yanfa'una wanfa'na
1:00bima allamtana. Innaka sami'un mujibud
1:02du'a. Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min
1:04ilmin la yanfa' wa qalbin la yakhsha' wa
1:06nafsin la tashba' wa du'ain la yusma'.
1:09Rabbana la tuzigh qulubana ba'da idh
1:11hadaytana wa hablana min ladunka rahmah.
1:14Innaka antal wahhab. Rabbi ishrah li
1:16sadri wa yassir li amri wahulul uqdatan
1:18min lisani yafqahu qawli. Alhamdulillah
1:21rabbil alameen. This is my first program
1:23as your visiting scholar. May Allah
1:25Subhana Wa Ta'ala make me worthy of
1:27these titles and may Allah Subhana Wa
1:28Ta'ala give you more and give you more.
1:31Uh
1:32knowledge and more important than
1:34knowledge as most of you, if not all of
1:36you know, is that we walk the talk as I
1:39always say. One of the first statements
1:42I learned from my teachers is walk the
1:45talk. Because we attend a lot of
1:47lectures, a lot of programs. You live in
1:50a city you don't know because you live
1:52in Dallas, but I live in California.
1:54It's called the Mecca of knowledge
1:56of the states.
1:58That's how it is. Everybody talks about
2:00Dallas. When there was a debate whether
2:03I'm moving to Dallas or staying in back
2:05in Irvine and Irvine won at the end.
2:08The question was why do you want to move
2:10to Dallas? They have everybody there.
2:13Which is true.
2:16But that's also bring with it a lot of
2:17responsibility.
2:19Because what are you doing with all this
2:21knowledge you have?
2:23With all these institutes, with with all
2:25these visiting scholars, let alone your
2:27resident scholars. So let's first all of
2:30us put this
2:32as my daily theme.
2:34As a person who lives in Dallas, a man,
2:37young man, young woman or woman,
2:41know the ne'er that Allah gave you.
2:44If you don't know what Allah gave you
2:46and you take it granted for granted,
2:49sooner or later, you know what will
2:51happen.
2:53What will happen? Anybody can answer me.
2:55Both sides. Allah will take it away.
2:58Because he will say, "You know what?
3:00They don't know the value.
3:01Fine. I'll take it away and I'll give it
3:03to somebody else."
3:05So when I come to this masjid and I
3:06travel almost every weekend to
3:08everywhere including in the world, my
3:10expectation here is way higher.
3:14So I've definitely I'm raising the bar
3:16in this especially in VRIC.
3:18The bar has to be much higher. Not only
3:21in knowledge, which mean when I ask you
3:23will answer me, but in practice.
3:27So exactly when we enter the masjid,
3:29again brothers and sisters, we enter the
3:31masjid, what do we feel? What is this
3:34place? How do I behave? How do I sit?
3:37How do I talk? I don't need someone to
3:40remind me no food or drink. I'm not
3:42going to do it. It's the house of Allah.
3:44I have heard so many lectures. I have
3:47this and that. So the bar is already
3:50raised for you people of Dallas,
3:52specially VRI see.
3:55Be up to it.
3:57Be up to it. And again, when you travel
4:00somewhere else,
4:01more than welcome can come and visit us
4:04in Irvine.
4:05Then you will see where how much Allah
4:08gave you and how many people are trying
4:10to follow you. Everyone says, and I'm
4:13I'm again, it's very nice to have an
4:15outsider
4:16that is to masjid where it is the Mecca
4:19that all the masjids go and says, "Go
4:21and see what they are doing." One of
4:23them is you.
4:24My president, the president of the
4:26Islamic Center of Irvine, where I am now
4:28the resident is called texted me and
4:30says, "When are you coming next time? I
4:33want to come and see what is this VRI
4:34see."
4:36And it is not about the beauty. This is
4:38way more beautiful, but there is a lot
4:40of a beautiful masjid also.
4:42The beauty, the place doesn't make
4:44things a special.
4:46It's the people inside.
4:48The people of Mecca were Quraysh, but it
4:51is the believers who made Mecca special.
4:54So hopefully all of you, everybody, and
4:58especially the youth who are growing up
5:00in this near Mecca, you will be
5:01different and Allah will expect
5:03different from you. Did I raise the bar
5:05already?
5:06Yeah, Rabbi Amin. Alhamdulillah.
5:09So I love the topic. I didn't choose it,
5:11by the way. I'm a guest, so I have to
5:13honor the host. What is a confident
5:17Muslim? Now you Some of you may used to
5:19my style and I'm going to share it with
5:22the brothers, too. We're going to talk.
5:24If I will talk only at 5-10 minutes, you
5:27will be bored. And you say, "You know
5:28what? I'm going to go home and listen to
5:29her on YouTube." What is confident
5:33Muslim mean? One, and if you don't mind,
5:36raise your hands. I'll take one from the
5:37sister, one from the brother. What is a
5:39confident Muslim mean?
5:41I think it means that to live up your
5:44So to live up a confident Muslim to live
5:47up your Islamic value. Anyone from the
5:49brothers?
5:51Anybody want to define it?
5:53Have you ever thought of this? Am I a
5:56confident Muslim? Are you a confident
5:58Muslim? Are you?
6:01So, you need to look at what confident
6:03and what a Muslim. Muslim we all know
6:06externally.
6:08A Muslim, we all know what is Islam. The
6:11famous Hadith of Sayyidina Jibreel and
6:12to mean by Allah and
6:16the shadow and light of Allah and
6:17Muhammad and Rasulullah what to give us
6:19Allah what to give us a car to some of
6:22them what to have your bait in the stuff
6:23that is similar. You know the five
6:25pillars of Islam that everybody is
6:29know or everybody should know, which is
6:31basically
6:33bear witness Allah is one and then you
6:35perform salah, you do zakat if you are
6:37eligible and you fast Ramadan if you can
6:40and you go to Hajj. Is that what we mean
6:42by the confident Muslim?
6:45There's way more.
6:47And if I and you and we
6:51do number two
6:54So, I'm going to divide it in one and
6:55two. One is the confident.
6:57Two is the Muslim.
6:59If I am the true two
7:02the confident is is taken is is granted.
7:06Are you all with me?
7:08What the what what what does this mean?
7:11Who is the real Muslim?
7:13I'm not talking about the external.
7:16I'm not talking about the external. If
7:18all if it's only the external, then
7:20there is no need to discuss this topic
7:22because we are all the external or
7:23sitting in the masjid. There has to be
7:25more than that.
7:27The real Muslim is and I highly
7:29recommend everybody here. Again, I'm
7:31raising the bar for you.
7:33Is just just Google or go and read how
7:37did the Rasul Allah Wasallam in
7:39different
7:40Hadiths define the Muslim.
7:43For example, al Muslim
7:46that's Hadith man selling Muslim on men
7:50Yadi he will he say no the real Muslim
7:53is the Muslim who the Muslims feel safe
7:57from his or her tongue and hand meaning
8:01again as I always remind myself and
8:03everybody what does this mean for me
8:05living now?
8:07Meaning when I come to this Masjid
8:09whether I entered from that door or I
8:11entered from this door or from the back.
8:14When I see you and you are the true
8:16Muslim number two
8:18I am not worried that you will hurt me
8:21or he will hurt me or I am going to hear
8:24something
8:25that is hurtful whether directly to me
8:29or whether to another person.
8:31Whether by saying, whether by acting,
8:34whether by the way I pray, whether I'm
8:36bringing my children with me to the
8:37Masjid may Allah bless the children
8:41but I'm not going to hurt the other
8:42people.
8:44Whether my children cries
8:46and then I leave them whether I'm
8:48getting my phone with me and the phone
8:49is ringing and I leave it.
8:52So number one, am I the real Muslim that
8:56Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala want me when I
8:58am going to be standing in front of him
9:00and all of us will. Am I going to say ya
9:02Rabbi this is me, this is what you
9:04wanted and I worked on it and here I am.
9:08So here you go.
9:10Woman as a new dinner Allah describe the
9:13dinner here as Islam but it is not the
9:15way I and you know woman as a new dinner
9:18women as a new watch a whole dinner
9:21wah who Muslim
9:24who is better Muslim than who take Islam
9:27as his or her religion wah who Muslim
9:30two things.
9:32The real Islam my beautiful sisters and
9:34dear brothers
9:36is you submit to the will of Allah.
9:40You all know what this means, but it is
9:42not easy to understand and practice.
9:46Whatever Allah wants me to do,
9:50I My answer is Who can answer me?
9:54It's a verse in the Quran.
10:00Allah said, "You going to move to
10:01Dallas." Allah said, "You staying in
10:04California." Allah said, "You're not
10:06going to have children." Allah said,
10:08"You will not get married." Allah said
10:10this, Allah said that through his
10:12actions and qadar, my answer is samena
10:15wa atana.
10:18Majority of us, humanity, we are part of
10:22it, living in this day and age of
10:26technology and everything is under my
10:28control, I think,
10:31finding this very difficult.
10:35So, the confident before the confidence
10:38comes in,
10:39I need to to be the real Muslim first.
10:43And again, I'm going deeper. I'm not
10:45getting externally. Externally,
10:46alhamdulillah, we are all.
10:48That's There's no doubt about that. But
10:50the reality of a Muslim, because if I am
10:53the real Muslim, samena wa atana,
10:55confidence follow
10:57like your baby follows you.
11:00That's number one.
11:01Now, come to the confidence, and then
11:03I'm going to share with you some
11:04examples from the real confident
11:07Muslims.
11:09So, we can compare. Maybe we are, and
11:12maybe we need some improvement, or we
11:14need
11:15a lot of improvement.
11:18So, what is confidence? Who can define
11:19confidence for me? This is not Islamic.
11:21What is confidence?
11:23Anybody?
11:26Yes.
11:27It's a simple question, right?
11:29Yeah, this is what we need. We need
11:31simplicity.
11:33And just think of the word. What is
11:34simple? What is confidence?
11:38Being unapologetic.
11:41It's a very dangerous word, Hadi.
11:44I'm glad you said it. Yes, about what?
11:49So, unapologetic about being a Muslim.
11:53There's a fine line between
11:55confidence and
11:58arrogance.
12:00This is exactly what I wanted to get to
12:02and alhamdulillah you said it.
12:04Very fine line.
12:06When I stand up in let's say in an
12:09interfaith
12:10and I'm sure you have this here and I
12:12say Islam is the truth.
12:15I come out as
12:17arrogant.
12:19I'm confident.
12:21It's true inside me, but I came out as
12:23an arrogant.
12:24When I if I'm practicing externally the
12:27way we are as sisters alhamdulillah the
12:29brothers, you come five times to the
12:31masjid Fajr especially and then you look
12:33down at somebody
12:35for whatever the reason
12:37Allah not yet blessed them with this
12:41then I'm not confident, I'm arrogant.
12:44It's a very fine line.
12:47Very fine line.
12:49And this is sometimes us people of
12:51masajid
12:52May Allah make us truly people of
12:54masajid.
12:56That Allah will look at us on day of
12:57judgement and says innam
12:59masajid Allah. Truly the those people
13:02who will flourish and build the masjid
13:05of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. May Allah
13:06make us not build only by money money
13:09and donation, but by presence.
13:11So, be careful. Always ask yourself, am
13:14I confident or am I arrogant?
13:18I'm give you I'll give you practical
13:20example of a confident Muslim.
13:23How many of you and I know this is to
13:24the brothers. You travel
13:26frequently.
13:28How many brothers do you travel
13:29frequently for business or you live here
13:31and family lives somewhere else? Can I
13:33see hands?
13:35Not okay.
13:37And how many sisters?
13:40Right. Do you pray in in the in the
13:43airport?
13:45Right? Then you're confident.
13:49You're not worried about somebody is
13:50looking at you.
13:52A lot of people are.
13:54Or what they will say.
13:56That's confidence.
13:59Did you get my point? Confidence is
14:02I know
14:04two things. I know.
14:06I know what I am doing is right not
14:09because it's my opinion and I studied
14:12and I have this degree and that degree
14:14cuz he said so. And who's he?
14:17I want to hear it.
14:19With capital
14:20H.
14:23And number two, the most important.
14:25That's why I asked about the prayer in
14:27the in the airport or in public places.
14:31I am
14:32110%
14:34sure
14:36he will never let me down.
14:39Never let me down.
14:42That's confidence.
14:44Confidence has nothing to do with other
14:46people, what they are doing. It's
14:48absolutely related to me.
14:51To me.
14:52I'll give you one example from the Quran
14:54not about the Muslim. Of course, he's
14:56Muslim by the general name of Islam but
14:59he came way before
15:02and that's Sayyidna Sulayman.
15:04Right? Sayyidna Sulayman, what is the
15:07uniqueness about Sayyidna Sulayman? Who
15:10can tell me? He's a prophet, I know.
15:12He's a prophet. What is so special about
15:14him?
15:15As a prophet
15:17he was very
15:19he He very
15:21rich.
15:23He made a dua. Rabbi
15:31He made a dua for himself. Anybody wants
15:33to be rich,
15:36don't go right and left. What kind of a
15:38business I'm going to do? What's
15:39investment? Go to the source and make
15:42the dua of Sayyidna Sulaiman. Rabbi hab
15:44li mulkan. Ya Allah, give me
15:46uh sovereignty
15:49that nobody after me will have it.
15:52And then he didn't say, "Well, maybe
15:54maybe not." He said, "Innak
15:56antal Wahhab. You are the one who gives
16:00without asking and gives wahhab when you
16:04give without people asking and without
16:06expecting back."
16:08Immediately after he said that,
16:11what is the next immediately?
16:13Fasakhkharna lahu r-riha tajri bi amrihi
16:16rukha'an haythu asab. This is in Surat
16:19Sad. Immediately Allah used fa.
16:22Fa is a letter in the Arabic language
16:25meaning it is happening immediately.
16:29Thumma, you would read so those of you
16:31who know Arabic. Thumma meaning it
16:33happened but it's after a while. This
16:36one right away. What did What happened?
16:39Sakhkharna lahu r-rih. The wind
16:42follows him.
16:44Why?
16:45It's not hurricane, no destruction.
16:48On the contrary, or rukha'an haythu
16:51asab. Wherever he goes, the wind behind
16:54him and then there is a prosperity where
16:56he is.
16:58When he made the dua to Allah subhanahu
17:01wa ta'ala, was he confident?
17:04I want to hear it.
17:05In what?
17:08In Raise one one person. What was he
17:10confident about?
17:12Two things.
17:14Two things. Nothing about him.
17:17I did it. I deserve it.
17:20He knew Allah is hearing him.
17:25Make
17:29the dua and you are confident.
17:32Have certainty that Allah will respond.
17:35So, number one, he asked Allah something
17:38impossible.
17:41But he knew Allah is hearing him.
17:45And number two,
17:47he knows Allah will do it.
17:49And number three, it's a subtle meaning
17:52because he used the name of Allah
17:54al-Wahhab. He didn't put al-Razzaq. And
17:57this is something you all have to learn
17:59when you read the Quran. Why this name,
18:01ya Allah? Because when you say Wahhab,
18:04when Allah
18:05gives something and it's usually related
18:06to Allah, doesn't mean you deserve it.
18:11It could be you don't deserve it at all,
18:13but Allah can give it.
18:16The confident Muslim.
18:18Now back to this day and age. And I'm
18:20here to speaking to the youth.
18:23Anybody here, how many people are in
18:24college here?
18:26College students?
18:27Not many. How about high school?
18:30High school. How many in
18:34Yeah, okay. High school. You live in
18:36Texas, it's a it's a plus.
18:40Me coming from California.
18:42We have way more challenges than you
18:44have.
18:46The confident Muslim.
18:48They stand up wherever they are.
18:51Wherever Allah put them.
18:53And they know
18:55when they are in that choice
18:58between
18:59practicing Islam
19:01physically
19:03or saying things pleasing to Allah in
19:05the best way
19:07versus going with the flow.
19:12That is the confident Muslim.
19:15I I had this last weekend. I was in
19:17Minnesota.
19:19And a a first year college student came
19:22to me.
19:24And says, "Shaykha, the first day in in
19:27school, in class,
19:30her professor
19:31looked at all the students and said the
19:33following." And she said, "He was
19:35looking at me."
19:37She was the only Muslim in that class.
19:39That's why I asked who's in college.
19:41And he said the following, "I want every
19:45student in this class to use pronoun."
19:50And you know what's pronoun?
19:52Yes, everybody?
19:54He,
19:55his,
19:57her,
19:58she.
20:01And he was looking at her.
20:04And he said it three times looking at
20:06her.
20:08Now, the confident Muslim is under
20:11the radar.
20:13Under the test.
20:16And she came to me and she says, "What
20:18should I do?"
20:21This is your confidence, your yaqin,
20:24certainty in Allah has been tested.
20:28And I said, "The first thing you should
20:30turn to Allah al-Wahhab.
20:33The first thing the confident Muslim
20:36is not what you say and do. It's your
20:38relationship with him.
20:41You turn to him and says, "Ya Allah,
20:43I don't want to do or say anything
20:44that's not pleasing to you.
20:47Show me
20:48how I'm going to handle this."
20:50With the certainty, that's the certainty
20:52of Sayyidina Sulaiman. He's listening.
20:55He will do it. He'll show you. He'll
20:58guide you.
21:00So, that's number one. And number two,
21:02you go and explain it in a very nice,
21:05confident way
21:07that this is not something we as Muslims
21:11say simply because there is
21:14we don't need to do that. And I went
21:17into a lot of details, but that's not
21:18the the point. The point is confident
21:22Muslim is the Muslim who
21:24knows it's the truth, but don't say it,
21:28but act by it.
21:31Nothing nothing
21:35sway you right and left.
21:37So, if everybody doing this, and this is
21:39what Islam want me, alhamdulillah,
21:41that's great. But if everyone doing
21:44something and Islam says no, now I need
21:46to find excuses
21:48to do to be fitting.
21:52Confident Muslim. So, Sayyidna Sulaiman
21:55the second test to Sayyidna Sulaiman,
21:57and I brought Sayyidna Sulaiman because
21:59Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gave him all
22:01what we all want in this dunya.
22:04When they wanted to lure him,
22:08the Queen of Saba, Sheba, she wanted to
22:12sway him.
22:14Right? Qalat ya ayyuhal mala'u aftuni fi
22:17amri. Ma kunti qati'atan amran hatta
22:20tashhadun. She did consultation with her
22:22people. Says, "Okay, people, my people,
22:25tell me what should I do? He sent me
22:26this letter.
22:28And he want us to be Muslims."
22:30And the people said, "You decide. You
22:32are You are the leader."
22:34Now, she used a trick that many of us
22:37get tested this day and age. She said,
22:40"Let me try this trick. I'm going to
22:42send him a gift."
22:44And what kind of a gift?
22:47She's the Queen of Sheba.
22:49How did he respond?
22:53You do this.
22:55That is not what Allah wants me to do,
22:58but I'm going to get this.
23:00So, it's okay, let's do it just one
23:02time.
23:03I'm not a confident Muslim. What did he
23:06respond?
23:10You're trying to lure me with money?
23:13This is exactly how you read it. What?
23:17Do you think I'm going to change my mind
23:20because you're going to give me money?
23:23Now, the confident Muslim in the unseen
23:26for my end of Allah what Allah has is
23:29way better than what you are giving me.
23:33The confident Muslim
23:35is the Muslim who knows or Muslima
23:38who knows I know you again.
23:42As you are seeing it, as you're seeing
23:44Jannah.
23:45Not hearing or imagining, seeing that
23:48Allah and I want everyone if you're
23:51writing write this statement.
23:53Will never
23:55ever let you down.
23:59As long as you are pleasing him and
24:03doing what he wants you to do.
24:06And that's what he did.
24:08Being confident doesn't mean I'm not
24:10going to take the means.
24:12That doesn't mean I'm not going to look
24:14and see how should I prove my point and
24:17that's what say the Suleiman did.
24:25I want to do something. That's what he
24:27was thinking. I want to do something to
24:29impress her and tell her I am better.
24:32Meaning we are better. And he looked at
24:34his people and start planning.
24:37Confident Muslim when you are in that
24:39school
24:40when you are in that job when you are in
24:43that company.
24:46Don't be shy
24:47to say who you are.
24:51Don't don't say
24:53and I actually had again that question
24:55last week.
24:57I just can't fast on Monday and
24:58Thursday. And I said, "Why?"
25:01They said, literally, this is a question
25:02came to me. And the questioner said,
25:05"Because every Monday we have a meeting
25:08in the company at lunchtime, and the
25:10managers bring lunch." And I said,
25:12"And?"
25:14She said, "I feel uncomfortable
25:16telling people I'm fasting." And I said,
25:18"Why?"
25:21Why?
25:23And I said, "I work Well, you know, I
25:24had I would be happy from the word I,
25:26but I had my office and finally I worked
25:29in a hospital. And then every Monday I'm
25:31fasting. So, this is usually very common
25:32on Monday meetings and things. So, you
25:35go to the manager, she brings the food.
25:37And I said, "Of course I want the food,
25:39but I'm not eating with you. I'll take
25:41it home and I'll eat after sunset."
25:45First time everybody looking at me. Why?
25:48That's your opportunity to teach people
25:50about Islam. I said, "I fast Monday and
25:52Thursday." "Why, Dr. Younus?"
25:55I said, "Because we are we Muslim
25:58believe
25:59that our deeds is presented to Allah
26:02weekly deed presented to Allah on Monday
26:05and Thursday. And the most beloved deed
26:07to Allah is fasting and he will be
26:11happier when I present my deed and I am
26:14fasting."
26:16Is that Does that makes anybody
26:18uncomfortable?
26:20Did you not explain it the right way in
26:22the nice way? And they accepted. Now
26:24every Monday
26:26the food is on the side.
26:29It says, "Dr. Younus, your food after
26:31sunset."
26:35Why?
26:36That's a question I'm throwing it to
26:38everybody.
26:39Especially the youth.
26:41Why do you want to be like everybody
26:43else?
26:45Why not everybody else like me?
26:49And this is what Sayyidna Omar asked the
26:50Rasul Sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
26:52all I'm sure know the story.
26:55When they went so they call Sulhul
26:57Hudaybiyyah the Hudaybiyyah treaty.
27:00So basically story short long short they
27:03decided they that they are going to
27:05Mecca for Umrah everybody was wearing
27:07the the Ihram and they're going Rasul
27:10alaihi salaam Sayyidna Abu Bakr Sayyidna
27:12Umar was with them.
27:13Right? And then then the negotiation and
27:15they prevented them from going to Umrah
27:18and they reached the treaty. If you read
27:20the treaty and I'm sure this was
27:22discussed in this masjid. When you read
27:24when you read the rules that the Rasul
27:28alaihi salaam
27:30signed
27:31externally
27:33why?
27:34This is putting us down. Nobody could
27:37say anything cuz that's a Rasul alaihi
27:38salaam
27:40who stood up and asked
27:42anybody knows?
27:44I want to hear it.
27:45Sayyidna Umar.
27:48And he said the following confident
27:50Muslim.
27:53Pay attention. He said ya Rasul Allah
27:55alast an nabi Allah aren't you the nabi?
27:59And he was upset not for himself was
28:02upset for the deen.
28:05Because if you read it externally it is
28:08an insult to them to the Muslims.
28:11And Rasul alaihi salaam
28:13said yes.
28:14Are alast na al haqq are we not on the
28:17right path? He said yes.
28:20Didn't you promised us that you're
28:22taking us to Mecca?
28:25And then I'll tell you what he said
28:27later on in his life and Rasul alaihi
28:29salaam wa salaam
28:31he didn't get upset.
28:32He didn't tell him how dare you ask me
28:34this question.
28:37He said did I say this year?
28:40A qultu hadhal aam?
28:43And Sayyidna Umar didn't say a word.
28:47Later on he used to make a lot of
28:50istighfar to Allah
28:52because of the way he asked the Rasul
28:54alayhi sal Allah wa sallam. Many lessons
28:56from this incident.
28:58You ask
29:00because you care about this deen.
29:03Not because you are un not confident and
29:06you're not sure and why everybody else
29:09is not doing it because you care about
29:11this deen. But when you are wrong, this
29:13is what I want to come now.
29:15When you are wrong
29:18then you need to admit you are wrong.
29:21Otherwise, I am arrogant.
29:24The confident Muslim
29:26believe or Muslima believe he or she are
29:29human beings
29:31and human beings makes
29:34mistakes. There's a famous
29:37statement or a quote from the 1800, "To
29:41err is a human."
29:43"To err is a human." Sign that you are
29:46human is you make mistakes. Even if I
29:48and you are the best Muslims, we make
29:50mistakes.
29:51Our Rasul alayhi sal Allah wa sallam,
29:52those of you who were in the second
29:54Jum'ah, may Allah reward the khatib,
29:56quoted "Abasa wa tawalla."
29:58Right? The verse in the Quran where the
30:00Rasul alayhi sal Allah wa sallam made a
30:02mistake.
30:03And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
30:05reprimanded him in the Quran that I and
30:08you reading it right now. There's
30:10nothing wrong with that. When you make a
30:12mistake you say, "I did it." and
30:15apologize.
30:16Apologize. Don't be defensive.
30:20Don't say this and that.
30:22Because otherwise, you are now moving to
30:25arrogance.
30:27So, if I am reading, let's say, the Imam
30:30is here
30:31and he made a mistake in the qira'ah,
30:33which is very common. Right? And someone
30:36corrected him.
30:38The sign the Imam is confident Muslim
30:42accepted
30:44corrected, finish the salah and look at
30:47the brothers says Jazakallah Khair.
30:50Then I'm confident.
30:52Because I know who I am and my ability.
30:56Did you all get me?
30:57The confident is not arrogant I'm always
30:59right.
31:01Who are you to teach me?
31:03Right?
31:04Sayyidna Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz
31:06Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz you all know.
31:09He the
31:10an entourage from Yemen came to visit
31:13him.
31:14The leader of the entourage was 10 years
31:17old.
31:20And Sayyidna Umar was surprised you know
31:23they didn't find older person.
31:26So he asked him.
31:28The 10-year-old he said you are their
31:30leader? There's a lot of men behind him.
31:33He said yes.
31:34The boy the confident Muslim
31:37Now he's in front of Sayyidna Umar ibn
31:39Abd al-Aziz.
31:41So he felt that Sayyidna Umar
31:44is asking him because he's too young.
31:47What is that?
31:48And he said and Sayyidna Umar was young
31:52also relatively as a leader. So he said
31:55to him
31:56is the leader I'm just paraphrasing. Is
31:58the leader by age
32:01or the leader 10-year-old
32:04is the leader by age
32:06or the leader by qualification?
32:10Is that confidence?
32:12I want to hear it.
32:15Is Sayyidna Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz
32:17confident or arrogant? Hasha.
32:20If a 10-year-old look at you
32:23or me
32:24and answer this way, how will I take it?
32:2810 years of age
32:31Sayyidna Umar said
32:34by the meaning again by qualification.
32:36You know what the 10-year-old answered?
32:39He said, "That's why you are
32:42the leader of the believers, and you're
32:44not the oldest one."
32:47Is that confidence?
32:53That's what we need.
32:55What we need, as Al-Hujjat al-Baligha,
32:58Allah said it, "Falillahil Hujjatul
33:00Baligha."
33:02We all
33:03all
33:04need to be proud without arrogance.
33:09Confident without arrogance. Believe in
33:13what we believe truly
33:16without being arrogant. And I'm fo-
33:18focusing on our arrogance cuz I see it.
33:22And may Allah protect me, number one,
33:24and all of us.
33:26Confident.
33:28You are strong.
33:30They come together.
33:32And you live by this Hadith. For Rasul
33:35Allah alayhi salatu was salam,
33:36"Al-Mu'minul Qawi
33:38khairun wa ahabbu ilallah minal Mu'minid
33:41Da'if."
33:43The strong believer more beloved
33:46and more preferred to Allah than the
33:50weak believer. Wa fi kullin khair, but
33:52both there is goodness in them.
33:54Sign of strength is not being loud.
34:00Sign of strength
34:02not being
34:04arrogant and dominant.
34:06Sign of strength is not you never
34:09apologize and you never make a mistake.
34:11It's on the contrary.
34:14As Rasul Allah alayhi salatu was salam,
34:16when they came to him and took his
34:17opinion about the tree in Medina, and
34:20some of you may know the story.
34:22And then another man came to him and
34:24says, "No, ya Rasul Allah." Then he
34:26said,
34:27"Ahlul The people of Medina they know
34:30better than me."
34:32Confident.
34:34Now the the the I call it the
34:36million-dollar question.
34:38Where does the confidence comes from?
34:41Who can answer me?
34:42Or basically, how do I become confident
34:44Muslim?
34:46Yes.
34:49Faith in Allah. Absolutely.
34:52Before and after the faith of Allah,
34:55what do I need?
34:58What do I need?
34:59Knowledge. Knowledge in what?
35:04Knowledge of Dean, that's a huge word.
35:07You know, only the scholars who are here
35:10are the confident Muslim?
35:12You know, after that it doesn't apply to
35:14us?
35:16Otherwise, why we are talking?
35:20What kind of knowledge that every Muslim
35:23and Muslima
35:25need to know? Number one.
35:28Before even salah and siam and
35:29everything. The brothers are too quiet.
35:35You need to know who is he.
35:39Who is Allah?
35:42Who is Allah? So when you turn to him
35:45and says, "Ya Allah, protect me. Ya
35:48Allah, give me. Ya Allah, make me
35:51stronger." You know he hears and give
35:55and able to do.
35:57The confident Muslim is not the Muslim
36:00or Muslima.
36:02That one day need something, they going
36:04to try everything they know.
36:07And then when nothing works, they turn
36:10to Allah and says, "Ya Allah, please do
36:11it."
36:13I tried everything.
36:15That's not
36:17You put him, may Allah forgive me, put
36:19him
36:21the last resort.
36:23That's not the confident Muslim.
36:25The confident Muslim is the better.
36:29That's why everybody
36:31referred to
36:33before and after better they say or the
36:35Sahabi Shahid better. That companion was
36:39in better. That he's a different. Why?
36:42There were 300 versus 1,000.
36:45But they were confident.
36:47With all the confidence still Rasul
36:49Allah was Salam the night of the battle.
36:52Tomorrow is the battle. What was he
36:54doing all night?
36:56Making dua. You all know this. And what
36:59kind of a dua?
37:01The dua that is described one of the
37:04ways we learned. What is the etiquette
37:06of dua? Where is your hand in dua? Is
37:09they referred to his dua it during the
37:12night of better. And what did he say?
37:16If you will not let this to Allah, if
37:19you will not give this small group
37:23victory, who will worship you on this
37:26earth?
37:29Look even at the dua.
37:31If you will not give If
37:37you are not going to give victory to
37:39this small group 300, who will worship
37:43you?
37:45So if every woman
37:47feels uncomfortable and
37:49not confident to show herself as the
37:52true Muslima outside, who's going to do
37:56And if every brother can't say I'm a
37:59Muslim, I can do this, I can do that
38:01because I'm a Muslim, who's going to do
38:02it?
38:05We need to become and move
38:09and work on us becoming a confident
38:11Muslim. How many of you were here in
38:14during September 11?
38:18Right. So majority you were not here.
38:21That's when the confident Muslim was
38:23tested.
38:25You were not here. I was actually going
38:28to the I was in labor and delivery that
38:29day. And I remember I looked at the
38:31screen
38:32and I was like and then the nurse looked
38:34at me and said, "Dr. Younis, do you know
38:35what happened?" And I was looking and
38:37the second plane hit the tower.
38:40Tell us and everybody remember this what
38:44we went through.
38:46And then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
38:48tested us.
38:50Be confident.
38:53Be sure.
38:54And I will end up with this so I can
38:56leave some time for question and
38:57answers.
38:59Be like Sayeda Hajer.
39:01Woman and brothers and men.
39:05When Sayyidna Ibrahim left her alone
39:08in the middle of nowhere
39:10with a baby
39:11Ismail that they were waiting or Ishaq.
39:14No, Ismail is one. When they were
39:15waiting for him for years
39:18and he couldn't even look back
39:21cuz he couldn't. He was walking. He was
39:23moving cuz Allah told him leave.
39:25And and she said, "You're leaving us
39:27here? Are you leaving us here?"
39:31No answer. "Are you leaving us here?"
39:34Basically, death penalty.
39:36And he didn't answer. Three times.
39:38Finally, the confident Muslima
39:41she asked the famous question, "Allahu
39:44amarak? Did Allah
39:46ordered you?
39:47Did Allah ordered you?"
39:49And he said, "Yes, Allah."
39:51"By Allah is Allah?" He said, "Yes." She
39:54said, "Go.
39:56Allah will never let us down."
39:59That's the confident Muslima. That's the
40:02confident Muslim.
40:04I need this.
40:06The best way to get there
40:09one is dua. Ask Allah.
40:12We need to ask Allah for dunya, but
40:13let's make akhirah.
40:15And Islam is also part my dua. Ya Allah,
40:18antal Qawi, Qawini. Ya Allah, you are
40:21the strong.
40:22Make me strong and keep me strong.
40:26Ya Allah, teach me how to become strong.
40:29When you go first day in college, as you
40:31are entering, Ya Allah, teach me how to
40:35say the right thing, do the right thing,
40:37act the right thing. First day in your
40:39work
40:41and your name is Muhammad.
40:43Don't change it and make it Mo.
40:45No.
40:47It's Muhammad. Alayhi salatu was salam.
40:50And be confident and teach them who is
40:53he
40:54without being arrogant.
40:56So, dua. And keep asking Allah to keep
40:59you going.
41:00And number two, learn about
41:03the Qawi,
41:05the Aziz, al-Jabbar,
41:08the one who is going to give you
41:09everything and anything you want
41:12in the right time that he knows. Two,
41:15three, don't give up. We all will fail.
41:18We will have the these moments when we
41:20will be afraid, will be weak. That's
41:23fine.
41:24But get up and keep going.
41:27And help each other. That's the last
41:29one.
41:30Help each other. Each one.
41:34Help each other to be the confident
41:36Muslim. It's not impossible.
41:39We have many examples before us
41:41recently, even now
41:44among us.
41:45You will see this. I'll end up with this
41:47story. It's a true story.
41:49In San Diego, a 9-year-old. I think 9 or
41:5311. I think 11 cuz she was in
41:57middle school. And everybody was She
41:59wears hijab and everybody was making fun
42:01of her. You know how it is, right? She
42:04was bullied right and left. And the last
42:06trick they wanted, they said, "Okay, you
42:09know why you're covering? Because you
42:10don't have a hair.
42:15If truly you have She said, "No, I do."
42:17Said, "If you truly have hair, show us."
42:2111 year of age.
42:23You know what she did?
42:24She took all the girls to the bathroom.
42:28Took off her hijab and showed them the
42:30hair.
42:31That's the confident Muslim. May Allah
42:34subhanahu wa ta'ala make us from those,
42:35ya rabbi, amen. May Allah show us the
42:37path. May Allah keep us going. May Allah
42:40forgive our shortcomings. May Allah help
42:42us to get up when we fail. And he knows
42:45the struggles we go we through.
42:48Subhanaka Allahumma wa bihamdika ashhadu
42:50an la ilaha illa astaghfiruka wa atubu
42:52ilayh. Sallallahu ala Sayyidina Muhammad
42:54wa ala alihi wa ashabihi tasliman
42:56kathira.
42:57Any questions? Yes, please.
43:01Wa'alaykumu assalam. Do we have another
43:02mic?
43:04Okay, I'll hear her and then I can. Yes.
43:07Wa iyyakum.
43:09Yes.
43:13So, a fine line I'm repeating the
43:15question so everybody can hear. A fine
43:17line between the confidence and the
43:20arrogance.
43:23So, how do I know? Very good question.
43:26How do I know I am not arrogant?
43:30What is you said what is the litmus
43:32paper?
43:33The litmus paper, two things.
43:36One, it is not you and your ability that
43:39made you who you are.
43:41It's Allah.
43:42And when you make a mistake, you
43:45acknowledge and apologize.
43:48That's why the dua when Allah when
43:51somebody praises you publicly, the
43:54summary of it, ya Allah, make me better
43:56than what people think of me and forgive
43:58what they don't know about me.
44:00When you say forgive what they don't
44:02know about me, you're acknowledging that
44:05you make mistakes.
44:07And always, always ask Allah
44:11to save you from being arrogant.
44:15You know the Hadith and the dua and then
44:17wa min al
44:18su al-kibar. Su al-kibar either kibar
44:21arrogance or su al-kibar being older.
44:24And this is one of the adhkar we do in
44:26the morning and in the evening.
44:28Especially when Allah gives you things.
44:31We live in a day and age of social media
44:34and followers and influencers and all
44:36this. Especially when Allah tests you
44:39with this.
44:41Don't forget you're a human being.
44:43As the the famous poem in Arabic said,
44:45"Wa fawqa Wa fawqa Wa kullu ma fawqa
44:48turabi turabu." And everything above the
44:51dust is a dust.
44:55So, may Allah make it easy.
44:57Any question from the brothers? Okay.
44:59Any other question?
45:02Yes, please.
45:04Yes.
45:11I can't hear you. I'm sorry.
45:18My question is nowadays there is group
45:20of people that can go to Umrah together.
45:23Back in the days I knew that you have to
45:24go with your brother, your husband.
45:26Okay, I'm not going to take any fiqh
45:27question. The most common question I get
45:30is this one. As if we women have no
45:32other issues
45:34other than this. Honestly, put your
45:36priorities, people.
45:39We have our children leaving Islam.
45:42We have our people struggling with with
45:45practicing. We have the children going
45:47to school and they are faced with right
45:49and left. We have drugs pandemic in this
45:52country. Fentanyl death.
45:56Focus
45:57on the most important things. I'm not
46:00saying this is not important, but it's
46:01not a priority.
46:04This is not a priority. If you would sit
46:06down with the youth, I never got this
46:08question. I give class to the youth
46:10every Thursday.
46:11I never get this question. What do I
46:14get? The commonest question from the
46:16youth,
46:18"How do I fit in?"
46:21"How do I fit in?" "What do I do with
46:24bullying?"
46:25"How do I stay strong?"
46:27Focus on this.
46:29That's what we need.
46:31Those the generation, 20 years from now,
46:33most of us will not be here. Those will
46:36be the leaders.
46:37Are they going to be like you here?
46:40Is she going to be like you here?
46:43Or the dunya and the others pull them.
46:46Focus on that.
46:48Foc- I'm not saying it's not important,
46:50but it's not a priority, especially in a
46:52family night. It is not.
46:54Any other question?
46:56Sister Aisha.
46:56Yes, please.
46:58Um, can we
47:00Actually,
47:02I'm here.
47:02Oh, can we take them from the brother?
47:04Jazak Allahu Khair.
47:06It's okay.
47:08It's just okay, just to be fair.
47:16Bismillah.
47:17If our confidence we feel like is weak,
47:20what is a healthy way to grow it
47:22Islamically?
47:23I loved it.
47:25I acknowledge that I don't have the
47:27confidence of the examples I shared with
47:30you. What do I need to do?
47:32Number one, as I said, is ask Allah to
47:35make you strong in sujud.
47:38Yeah, this is what I always say, "Ya
47:40Qawiyyu, Qawwini." I call Allah by His
47:43name, Al-Qawiyyu, the strong, and I
47:45wanted this this character to be me. "Ya
47:49Qawiyyu, Qawwini." One, there is no
47:52strength
47:53and now I'm taking practicality without
47:55the following, without the five days
47:58salah.
47:59Without it, I'm struggling.
48:02And now I am moving I want really to be
48:05the examples without connection with the
48:07book of his I wouldn't I don't call
48:09Quran the book of Allah.
48:11Of course is the book of Allah. I call
48:13it his words.
48:15It has different impact on me when I say
48:17his words.
48:19This is the three. There is no strength
48:22without night salah alone.
48:25You and him.
48:27Fifth,
48:28no strength without failure.
48:31And acknowledging the failure
48:33and getting up and moving on.
48:35Sixth, the yaqeen, the certainty that
48:38you can be.
48:40You tell yourself you can be. If Allah
48:42said so, it will happen.
48:44But I just need to be patient and it
48:46will happen be it in Allah. And may
48:48Allah make it happen ya rabbi ameen.
48:51Now back to you.
48:54Thank you, sister
48:55What time we have to stop? You're going
48:56to tell me, right?
48:57Yes, okay. Bismillah.
48:59Sister Hafsah, I have two questions.
49:00Yes. So, number one, if we have friends
49:03and family members very close, if we are
49:07together and somebody is indulged in
49:10some activities displeasing to Allah,
49:12how do we interact without sounding
49:14arrogant? Number two, how do we persuade
49:18our teenage children, our young boys and
49:20girls to become confident Yes, to become
49:23confident and a Muslim too. Like both
49:25things together in this day and age.
49:27This is a whole lecture.
49:30Any tip?
49:31Any tip? We will. So, let's start the
49:33first one.
49:34Um Some of you may know we
49:37Every Tuesday I do the same but in
49:40Irvine, which we call it Let's
49:41understand the Quran. It's
49:43It's live streamed usually. And now we
49:45are covering Surat al-Ankabut. And there
49:48is a reason why I chose this this surah,
49:50right? Many surahs in the Quran
49:52beautiful. But this one is the challenge
49:54surah. They call it the surah of tests.
49:57The surah of trials.
49:59And among the priority
50:02of tests is family.
50:05Everybody in this room, young and old,
50:09you know what I'm saying.
50:11When you start practicing Islam, start
50:13meaning I grew up as a Muslim, you know,
50:15I know, but I didn't really know what it
50:17is. And then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
50:19opened my heart and I start learning and
50:21I start changing. The number one
50:24challenge will be your immediate family.
50:28And they can be as harsh as possible.
50:33And it's very painful. You know why?
50:36Because we love them.
50:37And because they love us, they're harsh.
50:40It's not because they are not No, but
50:42they don't see what you and I are
50:45seeing. So here you go.
50:47And this is daily test. Friday night,
50:50let's go out. Wedding, let's go.
50:53This is where you
50:55start putting who are you number one in
50:58that family. What is your education?
51:00What is your Islamic education?
51:03Now, where is your red lines?
51:06Because remember in this deen, there is
51:08haram obvious.
51:10There is halal obvious. And there's a
51:12lot of the
51:13doubtful.
51:15Many of us don't know.
51:16Don't make doubtful haram because it is
51:18not. Don't make haram halal. It is not.
51:22And don't make haram doubtful.
51:25So what are they doing? Is it haram?
51:28Then that's a red line
51:30for me.
51:32Is it doubtful? Where am I in my journey
51:35with Allah and where they are in their
51:37journey? If it is halal, you don't like
51:39it, let them do it. Give you example.
51:41This is the commonest question I get in
51:44this matter. My grandmother lives with
51:46me.
51:47Or I go and visit my grandmother or my
51:49mother, and the discussion is always
51:52backbiting.
51:54Does that sound familiar?
51:57Talks about her daughter-in-law, the
51:58grandchildren, all this. What do I do?
52:02Right? And I know this is haram, there's
52:05no question about that. And it applies
52:06also to the brothers, by the way. Your
52:08grandfather It's always
52:11the grandfather talking about his
52:13daughter-in-law or talking to the
52:14brother about his other son, and on and
52:17on and on, it's all haram. There's no
52:20doubt.
52:21Three options.
52:24Number one, can I change the subject?
52:28No, you change the subject, she comes
52:30back and And let's continue.
52:33Honestly.
52:34Right? Failed. I call it tactic one
52:37failed.
52:38Right? Tactic two,
52:40can you praise that person?
52:43No, it's not exactly Oh, you didn't know
52:45what they did with me. It was amazing.
52:48And you start praising them.
52:50Failed.
52:53Honestly, it's challenging. This is
52:55usually when you get family together, ya
52:57Rahman.
52:58You really need to have the confident
53:00confidence actually put in your backpack
53:04and move. Third one, and this is, as we
53:07say in Arabic, akharu dawa'i al-kayy,
53:09the last medicine is actually you leave.
53:13Well, I can't leave the house.
53:15So, you're going to go to the bathroom
53:17and you're going to do the longest wudu'
53:19of your life.
53:22Honestly, cuz you can't Yani, you can't
53:25look arrogant. You cannot tell your
53:28mother this
53:29Let let mother or grandmother or
53:31grandfather or father, this is haram.
53:33They will not listen. Oh, no, remember
53:35when I raised you? This is what you're
53:37going to hear.
53:38So, be
53:40I I like the word creative because Allah
53:42is the only one who creates, but be
53:44smart.
53:46But there is red lines.
53:47The red lines
53:49I'm not going to eat with a family
53:50member if they're drinking alcohol.
53:53Even if this is my brother, if this is
53:55my father, I'm going to move.
53:58Yeah, you need to put your red lines.
54:00You're going to get a lot of heat in the
54:02beginning. But then keep confident
54:05because that's obvious haram.
54:08Did Did I Did I get Did I answer you?
54:11And it is this is the one of the biggest
54:13challenges. Coming to the teenagers,
54:15this is I'm meeting the youth on Sunday.
54:17It's part of the program. If you are not
54:20confident
54:21your children will not be confident.
54:24Don't ask your children to be something
54:27you are not.
54:28It's not going to happen.
54:30Because then
54:33Why do you say what you don't do?
54:36And the end as the poem said
54:39Start
54:44with yourself and control yourself and
54:47prevent yourself from injustice. If you
54:50can do it then you are wise.
54:57At this point when you practice what you
55:00preach, people will listen to you and
55:03teaching will bring fruits. I can't
55:06change my teenagers if I am not. That's
55:09one.
55:11Don't start
55:12teaching them or practicing them at age
55:1514 and 15. Where were you?
55:18Where were you when they were two and
55:20three and 10 and 12?
55:23Once they become, and I say this to all
55:25my friends, once they become These days
55:2911 and 12.
55:31I hate to say this, but it's too late.
55:35You need to engrave in them, actually.
55:38Raising righteous children starts before
55:41marriage.
55:43Who are you getting married to?
55:47So, this is a long topic. When you reach
55:50to the age of 16 and you have no control
55:53over them, you still have one weapon,
55:55huge one. And what is that? Dua.
55:59And you are righteous.
56:02Because today is Friday, I mean,
56:05yesterday was Friday, right? And what
56:07did Allah, how did Allah save the two
56:10orphans?
56:11Because wa kana abuhuma saliha. The
56:14father was righteous. You become the
56:17righteous couple, couple,
56:20Allah-pleasing.
56:22The children are not,
56:24the end result is not in your hand.
56:26Sayyidna Nuh, his son was kafir.
56:28Sayyidna Ibrahim, his father was kafir.
56:30But I don't give up on them.
56:33I keep making dua. Allah change the
56:35hearts.
56:36And may Allah protect our youth.
56:39Really. And I'm not going to say youth
56:42only in this country, youth global.
56:45Because what happens here is all over in
56:48the internet and everybody is exposed
56:50to. And may Allah make it easy for all
56:52of us.
56:53Amen. We're done. Alhamdulillah.
57:04tasliman kathira.
