 think I want to ask question why are we all here tonight and I propose that the answer is because this life is worthless this world is worthless compared to the next world and compared to the next life and so we're all here to testify to that with our actions that's why we're not in our bed right now sitting comfortable because we're saying with our actions this life is worthless and meaningless and nothingness compared to the next life today in the tarawih there's a beautiful verse that was read out of the blamestown regime where God tells us and he says listen what God tells you this is good news to all of you guys this is congratulations to all of you God says to all of us and we're supposed to see the Quran like it was like it's revealed to us like it's being spoken to us God is speaking to us so God says you don't know you don't know what God is hiding for you that's gonna make you so happy because of what you used to do you don't know what God has stored for you that's gonna bring you so much joy and pleasure and happiness because of what you used to do because of moments like this because of moment this world is nothing is this world God says in his site this whole entire world universe isn't worth the wing of one mosquito the wing of one mosquito the the last person to enter heaven he gets the least he has the smallest space in heaven and you know what he gets he comes crawling crawling and he can't believe it like God you're gonna give me heaven you're not joking you're not like you're really gonna give me heaven and he comes crawl the last person and he says I'm gonna give you ten times the entire world ten times so this place this isn't this is crumbs this is crumbs and we need that perspective that we're not chasing crumbs you know fighting over crumbs brothers fighting with each other and and and cousins fighting with each other and uncle because of what because of crumbs like we're bigger than that this world is meaningless this world is nothing and we're waiting for what God is hiding for us what God is storing for us that we'll be patient here we'll be patient this is the domain of difficulty however the friend of God loves this world why that's weird one-third of the Quran belittles this world and the people of this world one-third of the Quran belittles this world and the people of this world but why does the Wali the friend of Allah why did they why does he love this world because a dunya mazraatul akhira because we only because in this world we plant for what we're gonna get in the next world because what we do tonight standing praising the beloved our feet hurt our ankles hurt oh my god why do I have to stand what is he even saying he's making this long supplication in another language I don't even know what he's saying what is he saying but we stay sitting in our back hurts in our hands her and our elbows her and then one day a law is storing for you and hiding for you things that you're just gonna be like thank God I stood up thank God my ankles hurt thank God my back hurt so this is good news for all of us being right here testifying to God that we submit to him that he owns our time we don't own it we manage it he owns us we only man he owns our body we just manage it he owns our hands and our feet our heart our money we just manage it he owns our hair he owns our time he owns our eyes our ears our hands we just manage them and one day they'll speak and inshallah they'll testify and they'll say on April what is it 22nd that he came to the MCC and East Bay Pleasanton and he stood and and the feet will say he stood and the hands will say and he prayed and and the eyes will say he looked at the Quran and the ears will say he used me to listen to the Quran you know there was this one lady she was in front of the Kaaba and she couldn't read she was illiterate she couldn't read or write but she took the Mus'haf she took the Ka'bi of the Quran she took the Quran and she would take her finger on every single line in her eyes on every single line of the whole every page of the whole Mus'haf why just so on the day of judgment she can say her finger will testify touched every line like to be close her eyes will testify her hands her fingers so this this world this this world is is nothing and that's why we're here may Allah accept from all of us may Allah bless all of us may Allah make this a beautiful night if you do the math one second is equal to 22 years at least if this is the night of power because it's worth more than a thousand months right if you do the math nine hours and you divide it by a thousand months and you do the ratio at least because it's Khairon min al-Fijadi we do the math one second of late al-Qadir is equal to at least 22 years of reward years 22 months 22 hours which one is it 22 hours I think it's 22 hours sorry sorry I think it's 22 hours I just did the math like two days ago one second is worth 22 hours so if you say subhan Allah get the reward of saying it for 22 hours so so in these 10 days give charity every one of these 10 days call your mom call your dad every one of these 10 days and very very do all the different types of actions and rewards so Allah can hide for us and store store for us a surprise of all the reward inshallah may Allah accept amin
