 Okay, what in the world are you doing here? I'm not kidding. What are you doing here in this much shit at 120 at night? What are you doing here? I'm asking you a sincere question. What are you doing here? Listening to me? Girl, I hope you got a better intention. To become closer to Allah. May Allah grant you that. What else are you doing here? To learn more. You do that in a daytime. What are you doing here? All right, to do the boogie woogie? Is that what it's called? The hokey pokey? Don't you tell nobody you came here to do the boogie woogie with me? I don't know what she's talking about. I don't know her at all. Okay, the reason I ask you that question is because I want us to make like some intention, some serious ones, right? Because we know the Beloved Messenger of Allah, he said that to us. He told us that every action is by his intention. And you will be dealt with according to what you intended. Which is, I can't tell you the level of mercy from Allah that is connected to the hadith. Like, you're going to give me what I intend? Even if I didn't attain it. Even if I didn't actually reach it. But you're going to give it to me because that's what I intended. Subhanallah. So I'm like, okay, well that's easy. So let's make some intentions. Let's in this moment, I'm going to call some out. You snatch them up, put them in your heart, right? And root yourself by it. So that we know that we're here, that we're going to get the maximum benefit. Especially in Ramadan, Subhanallah. May Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala give us the maximum benefit. So we're here by the intention to expose our hearts to the mercy of Allah. We're here by the intention to expose our souls to his transformation. We're here by the intention to expose our minds to the rectification of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. We're here by the intention of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala will heal our hearts. That Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala would remove all of our trauma and our sadness. We're here by the intention of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala would grant us istiqama. We are hereby the intention to pour our hearts out to Allah. And for Allah SWT to answer our dua. We are hereby the intention of Allah SWT would number us amongst those who are sadaqeen wa salihaad. That Allah SWT would number us amongst those who are siddeqeen. That Allah SWT would number us amongst those that are maqarabin, that are near and close to Allah. We are hereby the intention of Allah SWT would grant us an intimacy with Him because we were seeking Him in the middle of the night. We're hereby the intention to seek Allah SWT for us and our entire lineage to Yomu Qiyamah. We're hereby the intention to make a means of connection, to be a connection that is strong and steadfast and never breaks for us and our families and our friends and those whom we love and our entire lineage to Yomu Qiyamah. We're hereby the intention that we could be saved from the torment and the grave and the punish from the Hellfire even for the blink of an eye. We're hereby the intention that us and our entire lineage and all of our children and those whom we love and our soba would be saved from the fitna of Masih ad-Dajjal. We're hereby the intention to connect to the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and never break tie with him. We're hereby the intention to be included amongst those who gave a pledge to the Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam at the moment of Aqaba. Yara'bi include me with them. Yara'bi we're hereby the intention that Allah SWT would numbers from the people of Quran. We're hereby the intention that Allah SWT would numbers from amongst those who have dhakirin Allah-e-Kathiran. We're hereby the intention that Allah SWT would mold and shape us into the servants of his that he's well pleased. We're hereby the intention that Allah SWT would love us. We're hereby the intention that Allah SWT would grant us and our entire lineage to Yomu Qiyamah, Jinnu Toferdol Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. We're hereby the intention to be with the Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in the Dunya and the Akhira. We're hereby the intention to be guided by the Prophet in our dreams and our awakened state for our entire lives, us and our entire lineage. We're hereby the intention to seek refuge in Allah, like the people of Ashab al-Kath. We're hereby the intention that we can be, that we can have a sohbah to strengthen the ummah of the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam wa alayhi. We're hereby the intention that the beloved Messenger of Allah alayhi wa sallam would be proud to say that we were from amongst his ummah. We're hereby the intention that Allah SWT would grant us the highest levels of success and that we would never fail in Dunya and Akhira. Allahumma sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Muhammad wa alayhi wa sallam wa alayhi wa sallam wa alayhi wa sallam wa alayhi wa sallam wa alayhi wa sallam wa alayhi wa sallam Ameen, Ameen, Ya Rabb. Ya Rabb, please accept all of our intention. Because we didn't come here for some small. Allah SWT talks about those in the Quran who abandoned their beds, seeking Allah SWT, may Allah number that we're from amongst them. So, Alhamdulillah wa shukrilah, I'm so honored to be amongst you because there's something that we do together that we can't do alone by ourselves, right? There's something that we bring together. So, why not literally by connecting with each other, right? In this night, we become like a stronger chain, right? We add to the barakah of the gathering. It's increased, right? Allah gives us, Ya, He's giving us increased, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah, by coming together. And we want to make sure that we hold firm onto that, right? And so, this minar, I want to talk about some stories in the Quran that you guys are all familiar with, right? You guys all know these stories, Subhanallah, it's just a reminder for insha'Allah, perchance that it might be a benefit to us. But when we hear these stories, Subhanallah, it's like digging, right? Anytime we hear these stories over again, it's like digging. You're doing the same action over and over and over again, right? It's for a while, it feels like it's a reminder. Why are we saying this? Reciting the same fact you have 17 times a day, but then something happens, Alhamdulillah. And you strike gold, right? Then you strike oil. You'll find something valuable. It happens in that moment when you've been praying for you don't know how many years, Subhanallah, a decade, more than a decade plus, and you haven't been feeling it. And then one day, Subhanallah, you hit a certain, you get to even, and it hits differently. And your tears began to flow and you realize I've been doing the same action, but now it's different. And so, I'm hoping be in Rabbi by us just reviewing some of these stories of women in the Quran or even just women that are listed within our tradition, inshallah, that we become closer to ourselves and that we know who we are, why Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala created us to begin with. And then what do we have to do with Allah and what does Allah have to do with us? That's really the question. What does Allah have to do with us? So I want to start off telling you this particular narration. It's like one of my absolute favorite narrations. Well, the beloved messenger of Allah, and he sent out to us, he's in Isra'at Miraj. He's literally traveling through the heavens with Jibra'in alayhi s-salam, on Isra'at Miraj. And as he's traveling, the prophet, alayhi s-salam, smells something so beautiful, he can't ignore it. And I want you to imagine this because the prophet, sallallahu alayhi s-salam, when he arrives, right? And he's granted the opening, the literally the skies open up. The prophet, sallallahu alayhi s-salam, is greeted by angels up on angels sending salawat. Can you, first of all, we know that the melaika love good smell. So I just say, so how about what the sit must have been like? Just the smell of the melaika, right? The smell of the first heaven and the second heaven and the third heaven. And he sees, seeing subhanallah of jannah, what that must have smelled like. But then for the prophet, sallallahu alayhi s-salam, wa alayhi s-salam, to have a smell that exceeded that, that made him stop in his tracks and say, yeah, Jibra'ir alayhi s-salam, what is that smell? What is that? And he says, oh, this is the smell of the hairdresser of the daughter of Firaum. He doesn't even mention her name. He says, this is the smell of the hairdresser of the daughter of Firaum. First of all, this is like, okay, now I'm really bad at this, so you guys have to help me out. When you're a hairdresser, you're a blue collar worker? Yeah, blue collar worker, okay. You're not like CEO of a company. You're not like, you know, some high status. You're not coming from like some high status. You're the hairdresser, not a Pharaoh's wife. Not like the hairdresser of the queen. No, you're the hairdresser of the daughter of Firaum. And so, Subhanallah, the hairdresser of the, so the Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is like, I need to know, like, what is so wonderful and significant about her that Subhanallah, I can smell her, I can smell her while I'm traveling, right through on my journey to meet Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. Right, so tell me, tell me about her. And so he says, well, he begins to narrate to our Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that basically one day she's combing the hair of the daughter of Firaum and she drops the comb. And as she drops the comb, Subhanallah, she goes and she picks it up and she says Bismillah. And so the daughter turns around and said, what did you say? She said, I said Bismillah. She said, are you talking about my father? She said, no, no, child. I'm not talking about your father. Right, she says, Allah Rabbi wa rabbuk wa rabbil anameen. That Allah is my Lord. Like, you know, you probably don't know. Allah is your Lord and the Lord of the universe. And so the daughter becomes angry. She's like, I'm gonna, I'm gonna tell my father what you said. And the hairdresser said in my Southern accent, go run, tell that. All right, and so she goes and she tells her father. Pompous princess. Daddy, my hairdresser said Bismillah. And so he says, what? She said, yeah, she's been infected with this religion of Musa. So, you know, in father fashion, in tyrannical father fashion, he says, he's got to prove to his daughter, right? Who he is. So he says, well, you go, you tell her to come here. You tell her to report to me. So she comes, right, here I am. He said, do you believe in the Lord of Musa? She says, Allah Rabbi wa rabbuk wa rabbil anameen. Talking about speaking truth to power. She's not doing it from like behind a, you know, a screen, typing Facebook, hitting that change button. Oh, but no, she's standing directly in front of him. She knows what he's capable of. She knows all the babies that he's murdered. She knows all the men that he's murdered. And she says, Allah is my Lord and your Lord and the Lord of the universe. And so he says, okay, like I see your boldness. So he says, you know what? I'm not even, in this moment, I'm not even going to address you directly because I see your, you know, how you're presenting yourself. So he orders his soldiers, go bring her entire family and bring them to me. So her husband also worked in the court of Pharaoh. So he brings her husband. They go bring her five children from her home. One of them is an infant baby, like a baby in her arms. And he then orders a cauldron pot to be boiled of oil. Not just water, oil. You know, the difference between water and oil is that when it boils, if it touches you, it's gonna stick. So even if you wipe it, the skin is gonna come with it. So they boil this oil until it's bubbling. And he asked her, say what you said again. So he looks at him and she says, Allah rabbi, rabbuq, rabbi'l alamin. And he looks at her husband and he says, you allowed this? You let this happen? You let her be infected with this religion? And her husband says, Allah rabbi, rabbuq, rabbi'l alamin. And Pharaoh becomes infuriated. He orders his clothes to be ripped off and thrown into this boiling oil. And in front of his wife and his children, they boil him to his bones. And she's standing there watching. I can't imagine. I can't imagine the tears in her eyes or the lump in her. I can't imagine how she must have felt. And then he asked her again. She answered the same way. They started with her oldest child. He asked her again. She responded the same way. He put the next child and the next and the next until she's holding a baby in her arms. And he asked her again. You wanna change your mind yet? And at that moment, she looks down at her baby. And of course, with the mother heart, she holds the baby a little bit tighter. And Subhanallah, Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala manifest a miracle in her arms. This is the first child that we know to speak. This child speaks and says, Mama, don't be afraid for you are on Sarat al-Mustaqim. And literally even in that, even with Pharaoh hearing that, he then becomes more angry, rips the child out of her arm and then Subhanallah boils her, boils the child in this pot. And he asked her again. And she says, I just have one request. Bury us in the same grave that we could be together in the Akhirah. Allah said, I'm not afraid. I know you're only sending me to my Lord. This is a whole level of iman, a whole level of taqwa. And Subhanallah, he does the same thing to her. He boils her, all of them alive. And so when the prophet, son of Allah, they sent him, here's this. He's just overwhelmed. He's just overwhelmed. And of course then the question becomes, like when he tells the companions is the question becomes like how like, who is she? How does she learn about like, how does she know the deed? What happened? Subhanallah, what happens next? You know what happens next? Queen Asya runs. When she hears the story, she runs the pharaoh. And she said, did you murder her and her entire family? She's asking him like, I know that you're cruel. I know that you've done some horrible things but tell me you didn't do that. And he says, I did. She was talking about this religion of Musa saying that Allah was her Lord. And she said that Allah was my Lord. And he began to laugh. And at that moment, Queen Asya confesses. Queen Asya says, Allah rabbi, warabbuk, warabbil anamin. And this is the moment where he literally orders all of her clothes to be ripped off. He drags her by her hair, hangs her off the balcony. And initially the people are screaming, oh Pharaoh, this is the beautiful, the Queen Asya, the kind, the merciful, the generous, please. And he says, you know what she said? And then immediately the people back off and say, oh Pharaoh, he murders her subhanallah. He literally leaves her first in the desert naked for three days, expecting that the animals would eat her alive. And he sends the soldiers to go find her after three days. And when they find her alive, they literally drag her back by the horse. They drag her back. And when she gets there and he's like, you're still not dead. So then he orders a horse to be tied on one side of her and another on the other. And he keeps whipping the horse until it's literally separating her limbs and the skin from its bones. She begins to make a dua that's mentioned in the Quran. She says, my Lord, build with me, build for me with you a house in Jannah. And Surat At-Tahrim, she's like, build for me with you a house in Jannah. And subhanallah, subhanahu wa ta'ala literally shows her in that moment, the monaika building her home. She smiles. She smiles. Pharaoh becomes enraged. He says, how dare you? How dare you? I'm torturing you after everything I've done. And you smile? Why you smile? And she says, and save me from Pharaoh and his evil folks, his evil people who come with me. Come with him. And in that moment, subhanallah, he's so angry that she smiled. She makes this dua. Like, save me from him, Ya Rabbi. So he then orders a catapult to crush her body. Right before the catapult comes, this catapult's a rock, a stone, a boulder to crush her. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala removes her soul. Now you might be wondering, why do I tell you this story tonight? Because in these moments, what will you do for Allah? What will you withstand? To say, Allah, I will not deviate from this day. I am, how will you say I'm not concerned about the people? I'm not concerned about their opinion of me. I'm not concerned about my perceived notion of what they might do to me, whether imagined or real. I don't care. What I care about is what does my Lord think of me? This is what Usa Al-Shamidah was talking to you about when she says, listen, right? Whether you look like the, I don't know, America's next top model, I might be aging myself. Totally might be. And truth is, I have no, I've been in Gambia. I have no idea what is current. You know, they have like, what's trending? I have, then is, I don't know. No idea. But no, I don't look like the next top model. Or I'm not, you know, I'm not concerned or I'm not jealous of what they have and what the disbelievers are, I don't care what I'm concerned with is a lot of be. I'm concerned that I'm going to face my Lord one day. Will my Prophet, Salamu alayhi wa sallam, smell me coming with a beautiful sin, Subhanallah. You know, at the moment of death, when they remove the soul, when the angel of death comes and he removes the soul, there's a rapping, a beautiful rapping that they do for that soul that's either like a beautiful cloth, right? Or it's something that is horrible. And either it's blessed with like the most blessed of smell. Right? It has that scent or a putrid smell. And that, when that soul is wrapped and it's going through that first minor judgment, this is how the angels receive it. Either the angels will be receiving that soul, right? Saying, Subhanallah, who is this beautiful soul? And the Malaika will then chant what the people said about this. This was the one, Subhanallah, who stayed up in MCC and prayed all night, right? This is the one that Subhanallah, she was tired, but she came to make zikr of Allah. This is the one that Subhanallah, no matter how far it was to be in the company and the Suhba of the Muslim in, Subhanallah, they traveled to it. Where there was lessons and opportunities to learn, to be closer to Allah, as it were done, they were willing to make hijra for it. They're the ones that Subhanallah, they were reading Quran and crying and weeping in the last of the night. They are the ones who were seeking Allah, Subhanu wa ta'ala. They're the ones who, yes, they were wearing hijab when other people were making fun of them. They are the ones who were concerned about their death when other people were only concerned about how they were going to live their best life. They were concerned about how they were going to die their best death. That's what the angels, Subhanallah, will be saying about this beautiful soul. So when Allah, Subhanu wa ta'ala, has us fasting, one of the lessons, one of the lessons, even in staying up in the night, is about for you to think about your ending. For you to think about, Ya Allah, give me a close name, Khatima. What is the beauty? What is the state of my soul? What is the state of my soul? Because our actions only tell us about the condition of our soul. That's what our actions tell us. If we're eager and running to the salah, right? And like, Ya Rabbi, I can't wait to talk. What time I gotta pray? I have to have a conversation with you, Ya Rabbi. I just, I wanna praise you. I'm just so grateful to you, right? I have to, I just wanna say, Subhanallah, we have the Subhanallah I do, but I just can't wait to be an intimate. I'm looking for a moment. I gotta find a place I need to be in an intimate moment with you, Ya Rabbi. Or are you the one who's like, okay, I got like 10 more minutes before Alta comes in. I'll pray in five. Why? Subhanallah. Or if it's like, you know what I'll do is, I'll sleep. Now I'll get up and pray Nisha, like three minutes before Fadr. May Allah save us. May Allah save us. I know, we're all been there. You're laughing because you know what I'm talking about. May Allah, this is, this is why, honestly, this is why we need that da'a. Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala knew our weakness is so well, right? That he gave us like two, he gave us like, he gave us like a really high example. Right? Like our mother Miriam. Our mother Miriam Subhanallah. What I, I have to, okay, I'll tell you that's okay. So either like this example, like the purest of all women, right? Or he's like, listen, at the end of time, I'm gonna need you guys to make this da'a. Allahumma inda ka'afu wumteh but afuafu afuana. Oh Allah, you love to pardon. So please pardon me. Because Allah knows, Allah knows our state. He knows our condition, right? Masha'Allah, Masha'Allah, she has big, she has high hopes for us. She has high himmah for us. May Allah bless her, may Allah bless her. Say amen. She has high himmah for us. I'm saying Subhanallah. Yeah, I'm just like, oh Allah please, make me that woman she's describing. Ya Rabbi, make me that woman. Ya Rabbi, ya Rabbi, ya Rabbi. Make me that woman that we never, when I saw those scattered dots on the screen, I was like, nah nah nah nah. I'm like, damn, she said that looks like, she said, Subhanallah, it's gonna be, what is this, that's your brain? I felt like that was my brain. Because that was like, the perfect guy was like, oh, that's not me. And I saw that, I was like, yeah, that's my brain. That's my household. That's my car. I was like, oh Allah, make me, oh, you see that, Masha'Allah, the other one looks like the women in the ranks, right, the Muslims honing it down. Oh Allah, make me like that. That Subhanallah, that we're definitely between the hope and yet the fear, right, the hope and the fear. And the truth is, we need, we actually need to keep striving though, to be like those women. Cause those women are, we know that they're guaranteed Jannah. That Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala wanted those women to be known so well. And there are just some beautiful things about these women that I just, when I think about the mother of Sayedatina Maryam, the dua that she made. First of all, what I want to talk about is that in the case of Al-Imran, we actually don't have any details a lot about Al-Imran. We actually don't have even one of his dua. We actually don't know his story. And yet Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala is actually telling us the story about his daughter and about his wife. For me, when in those moments Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala is saying to all women, listen, there's gonna come a day when people are going to try to trick you into thinking that your deen doesn't honor women. There's gonna come a day when people are going to try to trick you and say Islam doesn't give women rights. Islam doesn't honor women, that you women are oppressed, you just don't know it, you've somehow digested. What is it that when you have like, you've not ingested racism, like internal racism, right? They've internalized, so what is it when you've done it for like misogyny, internalized misogyny? Is that right? I feel like it's not, but you know. You know what I'm talking about, right? Basically when we have like, when we've internalized oppression, implicit bias against women in this case. Yeah, that's all that sounds good, right? Sounding real intellectual right now. What is it? Stockholm syndrome. You guys know about that? I'm a university professor, I don't even know what you're talking about. Okay, there's a lot of separatist, there's going to be a moment, right? There's going to be a moment when they're going, Shaytan is going to try to trick you outside, Shaytan is going to try to make you a renegade from your Dean. That Shaytan is going to try to convince you to come out of your clothes. That Shaytan is gonna tell you that that's empowering, to be more available to the male gaze, is somehow now more empowering. What? What's to think about that? That somehow to be more, you know, to actually give him more access, the complete stranger of men, I'm saying. The men who could care less about us, the men who don't know our name, they're just benefiting from you walking down the street that somehow to be available to them to give them free access makes you more empowered. Come on. That Shaytan will try to trick you. And by Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la mentioning these women in the Quran, he's saying, listen, listen, listen, listen. I love you. I love the modest ones amongst you. I love the ones that you think that nobody knows you. I love the ones that Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la have sought refuge in me. I love you for the ones that have sought intimacy with me and you're alone in your room crying out to your Lord, Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la, I love you. And Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la is saying, I'm going, I love you so much that even the secret moments between us, I'm gonna make it known to the entire world to the end of time. They're going to be reciting our love story every time they make a khatm of Quran. They're gonna recite the love story between me and you. We're gonna recite the love story between the mother of Maryam and Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la. We're gonna recite the love story between our beloved mother Maryam and Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la. How she was willing to endure Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la that she wasn't, women weren't allowed inside the seminary at that time. Women were not allowed to study. But her mother had already made that promise to dedicate her child to Allah. So when she gave birth to a female, right, she said, Allah had given birth to a female. And Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la said, I know full well whether that could have lasakil on that. And this, the language behind this, the grammar behind this, is like Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la saying this in, you thought you were gonna give birth to a male, but what I gave you was going to be better than what you expected. And that could lasakil on that. You said, what are you saying? You're just trying to push us up. Okay, well, let's ask the prophet, Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la, to send them. And he says, Yalla Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la, who's more worthy of my love and my honor? What are you saying? Your mother, and who after that? Your mother, and who after that? Your mother, and then who? Your father. So three times the prophet, Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la said that. He said, paradise lies at the foot of who? Our mother, Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la. So I'm not just saying things to make you, you know, to gas you up, as they say. I'm not, I promise you, that Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la, behind this panel, our mother, Maryam, was also willing. She sacrificed a lot. She protested outside of those doors of what we now know as Nasser al-Aqsa, to enter. And even when she entered, they didn't allow her to like become a student of knowledge. Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la, I'm so proud of our Ustathas who are receiving their Ijazah, Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la, in Quran. They're following in her footsteps. May Allah continue to ennoble their face and raise their rank. She suffered a lot. Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la. She's a single mother, single mother. Another Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la is in the example of our mother, Hajar. I'll tell you, this is the last one I'll mention tonight in Sha'Allah and then we'll close in Dua'a. In the case of our mother, Hajar, you ever have a story in the Quran that makes you like wanna dance? Do you have that? No, you're not like me. I know. I'm making you do the boogie boogie something. No, you're not like me. Masha'Allah, you guys are like at home, like, oh, you're getting like, you know, your heart's shaking, your heart's quiver. Me, I'm like this. Ah, it's like, oh my, I'm like, this is great. Like, this is great. It's my heritage, I can't help it. And so for me, it's the case of our mother, Hajar. Alayhi Hasalaam. The thought that when we go and make Tawaf around the Kaaba, that she's buried there. The fact that the, like the most blessing you can get, like inside of the Hijra Ismail, like in that area, that's what she's buried, right? The fact that subhanAllah, this is the woman that literally most people, if you're looking on the outside of it, you're thinking her husband abandoned her. You're thinking that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has just thrown her away literally in the desert, right? But subhanAllah, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala leaves her in the desert with a child, so many stories of like just a woman and a child. She's alone in the desert, subhanAllah. And as Ibrahim alayhi s-salam, Prophet Ibrahim alayhi s-salam is walking away, where are you going? Where are you going? Did Allah tell you to do this? That has to be Allah. That Allah is sufficient for me and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will take care of me. He leaves, he leaves. She runs out of water, she runs out of food. I always think about how, how was she when it got dark? You know, we think about like mashallah, all the lights from the clock tower in the McDonald's and all the hotels. No, none of that was there. She was literally a woman alone in the desert with a child. And it got dark. I just, it's like, we are a bee, did you send me here to die? Did you send me here to be eaten alive? Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is in the same. The seed of iman that's in your heart, they're gonna witness it to the end of time. The seed of iman, the seed of towakum, the seed of taqwa that's in your heart, people are going to walk in your footsteps just to complete their faith. That you don't have, we don't complete our Islam of the body even until you walk in the footsteps of Hajj, until you make Hajj, until you go and visit her grave. Your iman is not even, you haven't finished it yet. You wanna earn benefit, you wanna become closer to Allah and go make Umrah, go walk in her footsteps, go do that. Literally, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala builds the holiest city in the world around her. The holiest city in the world is built around her and her iman and her taqwa and her towakum. There's no secret why that would be the place that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala would reveal the final message. There's no secret why that the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would say, not only would be born there, not only that the Quran would be recited there, subhanallah. But when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is going to Isra and Miraj, and the angels come and wash his heart, they open his heart and what do they pour inside? Send them the fruit of her labor, the fruit of her iman. That's what the angels pour into the heart of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam for him to be able to take that journey of ascension. Subhanallah. That which remains of her iman gets poured into the heart of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Lahu akbar. There's something special about that. When the tribe of Jorham comes and they come to her and they say, can we stay here? This is after Zamzam, after Jabra'il comes, splits open the earth for her, which I just want you guys to keep. Like Jabra'il comes and descends for her. Like crocs open the earth for her. Zamzam flows to sustain her. Subhanallah. Tribe of Jorham comes and they ask her, can we stay here? And she says, yes, but I control the water. When I love, this is one of those moments where she's just like, what? Allah! First of all, how bold are you? Right? You're a woman alone in the desert. There's no man here to protect you. What do you mean? Right? What are you talking about? We're an entire tribe. Woman, we could take you over. But that kind of confidence comes from what? From a woman who knows her Lord. That kind of confidence comes from a woman who knows Allah. That's Subhanallah. Inna Allah ma'a sabirin. Inna Allah ma'a al-Mussineen. She has jaqeen. She has certainty despite what it looks like. Despite the apparent reality, she has absolute certainty without doubt, without question. My Lord is there for me. My Lord will take care of me. That as long as I remain firm upon surat al-Mustaqim, Allah will never leave me. And so they honor that. They honor it. She controls the water. She controls the water. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has given each and every one of you a Zem Zem. Watch your Zem Zem. What is your gift? That is a means of healing and nurturing. That is a means of nourishment for those in your family, in your community. And you have to be careful. You have to be careful to guard it. To say, there is a gift that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has given me and I can share it with you, but you can't have it. You hear that women? Because I know we give away everything. We do. Subhanallah. I'm actually shocked, laughing at women right now in our society. Why? They even gave up their womanhood. They even gave up their womanhood. Now they're like, wait, hold up, what? I'm a birthing person and you're a woman? Yeah, I said that. Keep it up. Now they wake up, snap. Oh, wait, wait, wait, hold up. Hold up. No, no, no, no. So what I'm saying to you, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. And I don't want you to think that, you know, you have to be a prophet. I want you to listen to these stories. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is talking about these women in the Quran and the intimate relationship they have. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala talks about the relationship he has with Um Musa, with the mother of Musa. Literally, the mother of Musa is talking to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and Allah is responding back to her. She's not in doubt about it. She's not like, am I trembling? Am I hearing things? Stop being emotional. Stop exaggerating. No, she's certain about it. This is what Allah wants me to do and I'm doing it. She's certain about it. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, again, he's telling us the love story between him and the mother of Musa. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has given each and every one of you a unique gift that he tells you. When you make mention of me, I'm going to mention you in a gathering better than that. We have so many narrations of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala talking about how he is bragging about his service. Right, bragging about them. Do you see her? Sohanallah. She's hungry. She's still fasting. She's thirsty. She's still starving. She got divorced. She feels broken, but she hasn't left this deen. That's Sohanallah. She lost her job because she wanted to wear her hijab. She started her own business. She didn't have anybody else, all of her family, turned against her either because she converted to Islam or because she decided like, I'm not going to do this or that, I'm going to stick firm to this deen and there's, oh my God, you become a religious fanatic. She's like, mm-hmm, yeah, Allah is bragging about you. He's bragging about you to the angels. Sohanallah. He literally sent a host of angels right now tonight. There's a summit of angels. I'm not kidding. Wallahi. There is a summit of angels. Who came and said, I'm looking for this gathering where people are remembering Allah. And he found it, right? That angel found it in San Francisco, in MCC. Where's San Francisco, right? He found it at MCC. And then he branched, he told the other man, I come. Listen, come to what we found it. We found it. Sohanallah. Hey, there's a group of women up all night. They are making, they're making dick out of Allah. They're making du'a. And the angels come and they encircle that gathering with their wings. And they make du'a for the people who are in that gathering. It says, none of them leaves that gathering except all their sins are forgiven. And Allah, the Almighty, knows what you're saying. But he just wants to brag about it to the Malaika. He's like, what are they saying? He's like, Allah, they were saying, Sohanallah, what happened to that? So what did they ask for? Allah, they were asking for jinnah. They were asking the, he's like, have they seen it? No, y'allah, they haven't seen the jinnah. Mm-hmm. And what are they seeking refuge from? Y'allah, they're asking to seek refuge in you from hellfire. And Allah says, mm-hmm, have they seen it? No, y'allah, they haven't seen it. Literally this conversation is the answer to Allah, what Allah, told the Malaika in the beginning when he said, I'm going to create. Right, the Khalifa of the earth. And they were like, oh, you're going to create someone who's going to spread mischief and going to shed blood. And Allah says, I know what you don't know. So in that later on, when he's saying this conversation to the Malaika, you thought that the jinnah was going to entice them. You thought they was going to be up in the clouds, turns out they're in the mush'in. You thought they was going to be being watching in Netflix, turns out they're in the mush'in, making dhikr, making doa, reading Quran. You thought they were going to spin their youth in the street, turns out they traded in, subhan Allah, any of what they were claiming was youth, traded that dunya in for the Akhira. Allah's bragging about you to the angels. And then Allah says, now be my witness that I have forgiven them. Allah is telling the angels, be my witness. I have forgiven them. And the angels say, but wait, y'all don't be there, somebody who came, he wasn't a part of the gathering. He just came for some need and they left. He said, well, the nature of that type of gathering is even if they passed by, I would forgive them too. That's the light they shed. That's the Zemzah they offer as a healing and a mercy and a forgiveness for others. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless us to have the type of iman that is a light for others in darkness. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala make us amongst those who he loves. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala make us from amongst those that are steadfast and never deviate. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless us to be from the people of them. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless us to be amongst those, y'allah, that you've granted in monaduni. May Allah be granted cinema intimacy with you. Y'allah, may we ask you by your infinite mercy. Y'allah, y'allah, y'allah, y'allah, y'allah, y'allah, y'allah, y'allah, y'allah, y'allah, y'allah, y'allah, y'allah, y'allah, y'allah, y'allah, y'allah, y'allah, Allah give us a complete and perfect faith after which there is no disbelief. Give us certainty in you after which there is no doubt and make us firm upon surat al-Mustaqeen.

So we're begging you by your mercy. Y'allah, be make us firm. Make us steadfast. Y'allah, be grant us an istiqama from you that you will accept it from us.

Y'allah, be blessed those that we've harmed to forgive us, y'allah. Y'allah, be and those that have wronged us, place it in our hearts to be able to forgive them. Y'allah, ha'murrahimim. For you are the disposer of all affairs. And so we ask you by your infinite mercy, y'allah, be take care of all of our affairs. Y'allah, ha'murrahimim. Y'allah, be do leave us to ourselves even for the blink of an eye, y'allah. Y'allah, be we ask that you please send down your Malaika and every turn, every angle of our life, y'allah, ha'murrahimim.
