00:30We have to take care of our relationships.
00:33We have to try to meet the needs of the people.
00:37We have to give the right to our souls.
00:40Then we have to do some work to meet the needs of our stomachs.
00:48Whether it is a job at the office,
00:50or you are working at the shop,
00:52or you are doing agriculture,
00:54or you are doing business.
00:55Whatever you are doing,
00:56it is according to the means available to you.
00:59But we were not born to be a machine to earn money.
01:06Today, our problem is that from morning to evening,
01:09this is our job.
01:11And people have dedicated their lives to earning money.
01:14When a child is young, he starts earning money.
01:17He has to build a house, he has to do this and that.
01:19Even during the special time of prayer,
01:21we are thinking about not having a customer at the shop.
01:24Then what light will come in that prayer?
01:27The prayer in which we are standing is not of God.
01:30Even when we are standing in front of God,
01:32we are not of God.
01:33Then how can we be of God at the shop?
01:35That is why our society,
01:36even though it is called Muslim,
01:38it is not Islamic.
01:39Because even in our prostrations,
01:41we are thinking about something other than God.
01:43When one prostrates,
01:44he puts everything in his hands.
01:49He rubs his forehead,
01:51he rubs his nose,
01:52he rubs his body on the ground.
01:54And how does he fall?
01:56And what does he say when he falls?
01:58Glory to my Lord, the Most High.
02:00Master, this is me who has fallen,
02:02and You are the Most High.
02:04But even in prostration,
02:06if you are standing at the shop,
02:08even in prostration,
02:09if you are standing at the shop,
02:10even in prostration,
02:11if you are standing at those things,
02:12then tell me, where is he standing?
02:14So we should organize our life.
02:18What Allah has made easy,
02:20if our needs are fulfilled,
02:22then we should be thankful for it.
02:24The Beloved of Allah has
02:26given a very beautiful instruction on this.
02:29He said,
02:33Create a habit of looking down.
02:36When you look down,
02:38you will be assured that
02:40my Lord has done a great favor on me.
02:42You will start looking up.
02:44Even if you live in a bungalow of two canals,
02:46you will find it annoying.
02:48But we look up in the world,
02:51and look down in religion.
02:53Allah has said,
02:55look down in the world,
02:57and look up in religion.
03:00I only offer five prayers,
03:02and such and such person even offers tahajjud.
03:04I only have this much fate,
03:06and these are his deeds.
03:07But what is our view there?
03:10If he is not forgiven,
03:11then we will also be forgiven.
03:12Okay, what if he is not forgiven?
03:15We have combined our forgiveness with him.
03:18So this is our way of life.
03:21We look up in the world,
03:23and look down in religion.
03:25We will have to look up in religion,
03:27and look down in the world.
03:29The kind of life we are living,
03:32in the past, such a life did not even exist for kings.
03:35I have seen the settlements of the people of Aad.
03:37I have seen the settlements of the people of Samud.
03:40I have seen the area of Ashab-e-Ras,
03:42and the city of Madian in a time.
03:45And I have seen the houses of those great people,
03:47who dug up the mountains and built them.
03:49So I said to those friends who were with me there,
03:52that today our residential style is better than them.
03:57They made a bed-like thing in the mountains,
04:00and these were their high-class residences of that time.
04:03Today's food and drink, today's rides,
04:06and today's people coming and going,
04:08and the enjoyment of life,
04:10but from dawn to dusk,
04:12it is on the ungrateful tongue of Allah.
04:15Learn gratitude, be grateful to Allah.
04:18Gratitude increases blessings.
04:20Ungratefulness leads to unblessedness.
04:23Ungratefulness takes away sustenance,
04:26and leads to unblessedness.
04:28Even after having sustenance, there is no blessing.
04:31The abundance of sustenance is not a thing,
04:33the blessing of sustenance is a thing.
04:35Even if it is a little, may Allah put blessings in it.
04:38May it be enough, may it fulfill the need.
04:41May it be a health element.
04:43May it be the cause of the health of the body.
04:47But if there is abundance of sustenance,
04:49but there is no blessing,
04:51then that sustenance, that wealth, that wealth becomes a disaster.
04:54When you go for Hajj for the first time,
04:57and when you reach Manaa from Makkah,
04:59wearing a hijab,
05:01and you enter the tent,
05:03you feel a shock.
05:05It is as big as a grave.
05:07It is one and a half feet wide,
05:09and five and a half feet long.
05:11And they are kept together.
05:13You have to sleep there,
05:15you have to put your luggage there,
05:17you have to put your shoes there.
05:19It is very difficult.
05:20When a person enters the tent,
05:22it is one and a half feet wide,
05:23and five and a half feet long.
05:25When he sees that this is his bed,
05:27it is a small tent,
05:28how many people are there?
05:29There are forty-five people here.
05:31And there, even when the carpet is changed,
05:34other people fall on it.
05:35The feet are on the head of the other person,
05:37and the feet of the other person are on your head.
05:39And how many days do you have to spend there?
05:42And how difficult it is.
05:44When there is a line in the tent,
05:46it is such a difficult stage.
05:48But despite this,
05:50everyone suffers.
05:52But there is no quarrel.
05:54Because my Lord has said,
05:56my people, come to my court,
05:57and do not fight.
05:58Allah has tested us on Hajj.
06:00Comparison with a woman and other things
06:03are permissible apart from Hajj.
06:05They have been forbidden for Hajj.
06:07But Fasooq and Jadaal,
06:09the work of sin,
06:10and the quarrel of war,
06:12are not permissible apart from Hajj.
06:14But especially,
06:15they have been forbidden inside the Hajj.
06:17Because there is a crowd.
06:19And in the crowd,
06:20people fight among themselves.
06:23This happens in general.
06:25Those of you who are from the villages,
06:27know very well,
06:28that there used to be fairs in our villages
06:30when we were young.
06:31So there was a fight at every fair.
06:34The heads used to burst,
06:36and there used to be a conflict.
06:38Why?
06:39Because when people are gathered,
06:41there is a fight.
06:42Allah Akbar.
06:43So Hajj is a gathering of 400,000 people,
06:46and there is no fight.
06:48This is not a small thing.
06:50This is the truth of Islam.
06:52People tolerate it.
06:54Allah Akbar.
06:55There is a softness in the heart for Hajj.
06:58So where four people gather,
07:00there is a fight.
07:01Allah Akbar.
07:02So people tolerate it.
07:04Allah Akbar.
07:05There is a softness in the heart for Hajj.
07:08So where four people gather,
07:10there is a fight.
07:12How can there be a bigger fair than Hajj?
07:14This is a fair of 4,000, 10,000, 50,000 people.
07:18It is a fair of 40,000,000 people.
07:20But there is no fight in that fair
07:22because my Lord has said,
07:24Wa la fasook wa la jadaal.
07:26O My servants, you will not fight.
07:28The Lord has said,
07:29I command you, you will not fight.
07:30Allah Akbar.
07:31Allah takes another test on Hajj.
07:33What is that?
07:34It is the condition of Ihraam.
07:36Even if it is a woman with a veil,
07:38she should not cover her face.
07:40There should not be a veil on your face.
07:42Allah's house is in front of Kaaba.
07:44Mataaf.
07:45Even if there is a woman without a veil,
07:47she should cover her face.
07:48But he said,
07:49Ihraam, your face should not be covered.
07:53So you have to keep your face covered.
07:56Master, what is this?
07:57He said,
07:58I want to see
07:59whether my people come in front of my house
08:01and humiliate me or not.
08:03This is what I want to see.
08:05Do they feel shame in their eyes or not?
08:07This is what I want to see.
08:09Do they feel shame in their eyes or not?
08:13Do they feel shame in their eyes or not?
08:16What kind of purity is this?
08:18What kind of chastity is this?
08:20Even if your wife is with you,
08:22you cannot look at her in that way.
08:26Then how can you look at another woman?
