1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,459
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

2
00:00:03,459 --> 00:00:17,809
“Say: Lo! my Lord enlargeth the provision for whom He will of His bondmen, and narroweth (it) for him. And whatsoever ye spend (for good) He replaceth it. And He is the Best of Providers.” (34:39)

3
00:00:17,809 --> 00:00:20,579
Echoes from the pulpit.

4
00:00:20,579 --> 00:00:23,579
Real-life stories regarding the effects of charity.

5
00:00:23,579 --> 00:00:25,579
He said to him, "As for the dogs,"

6
00:00:25,579 --> 00:00:27,079
"they give birth to many times the number of sheep,"

7
00:00:27,079 --> 00:00:28,079
"and as for the people,"

8
00:00:28,079 --> 00:00:29,079
"they eat sheep and lambs,"

9
00:00:29,079 --> 00:00:30,579
"but they do not eat dogs."

10
00:00:31,079 --> 00:00:32,079
"Why, then,"

11
00:00:32,079 --> 00:00:35,079
"is the number of sheep many times over the number of dogs?"

12
00:00:35,079 --> 00:00:36,079
"Why, then?"

13
00:00:36,079 --> 00:00:37,079
The young man fell silent,

14
00:00:37,079 --> 00:00:39,079
and he could not answer this question.

15
00:00:39,079 --> 00:00:41,079
The father continued his hadith, saying,

16
00:00:41,079 --> 00:00:43,079
"My son, these matters"

17
00:00:43,079 --> 00:00:46,079
"are not taught in the greatest universities in the world."

18
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:48,079
"This is barakah (blessing),"

19
00:00:48,079 --> 00:00:50,079
"and this is charity,"

20
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:52,079
"and doing good,"

21
00:00:52,079 --> 00:00:55,079
"which increases wealth and causes it to grow,"

22
00:00:55,079 --> 00:00:57,079
"and never diminishes it."

23
00:00:57,079 --> 00:00:59,079
Charity.

24
00:00:59,579 --> 00:01:01,579
A sermon by the honorable Sheikh

25
00:01:01,579 --> 00:01:03,579
Khalid Ibn 'Abdullah al-Hamudi,

26
00:01:03,579 --> 00:01:05,709
may Allah preserve him.

27
00:01:05,709 --> 00:01:08,189
O servants of Allah,

28
00:01:08,189 --> 00:01:10,189
I will speak today

29
00:01:10,189 --> 00:01:12,439
about a matter

30
00:01:12,439 --> 00:01:14,439
for which I will pave the way

31
00:01:14,439 --> 00:01:16,439
with these three stories.

32
00:01:16,439 --> 00:01:18,730
The first:

33
00:01:18,730 --> 00:01:20,920
One day,

34
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,239
a young man graduated

35
00:01:23,239 --> 00:01:25,239
from the College of Economics

36
00:01:25,239 --> 00:01:27,400
and Commerce

37
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,400
at one of the most prestigious international universities.

38
00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:32,099
After the young man finished

39
00:01:32,099 --> 00:01:34,099
his studies,

40
00:01:34,099 --> 00:01:36,260
he returned to his father

41
00:01:36,260 --> 00:01:38,260
to help him

42
00:01:38,260 --> 00:01:40,260
in the business of selling appliances,

43
00:01:40,260 --> 00:01:42,260
selling electrical

44
00:01:42,260 --> 00:01:44,260
and home appliances

45
00:01:44,260 --> 00:01:46,260
that he owned.

46
00:01:46,260 --> 00:01:48,260
After a few days

47
00:01:48,260 --> 00:01:50,260
of working,

48
00:01:50,260 --> 00:01:52,420
the young man noticed

49
00:01:52,420 --> 00:01:54,420
that his father would donate every month

50
00:01:54,420 --> 00:01:56,420
a refrigerator,

51
00:01:56,420 --> 00:01:58,420
or an oven, or a washing machine,

52
00:01:58,420 --> 00:02:00,420
to a needy person among the poor,

53
00:02:00,420 --> 00:02:02,420
or the orphans, or the widows.

54
00:02:02,420 --> 00:02:04,420
The young man was astonished

55
00:02:04,420 --> 00:02:06,420
by this matter

56
00:02:06,420 --> 00:02:08,419
and objected to it

57
00:02:08,419 --> 00:02:10,419
strongly,

58
00:02:10,419 --> 00:02:12,419
arguing that it was

59
00:02:12,419 --> 00:02:14,419
a loss for the business and trade.

60
00:02:14,419 --> 00:02:16,419
The young man began

61
00:02:16,419 --> 00:02:18,419
to calculate the cost of these

62
00:02:18,419 --> 00:02:20,419
donations

63
00:02:20,419 --> 00:02:22,419
monthly and annually,

64
00:02:22,419 --> 00:02:24,419
just as he calculated the amount

65
00:02:24,419 --> 00:02:26,419
over ten years,

66
00:02:26,419 --> 00:02:28,419
and what if these funds

67
00:02:28,419 --> 00:02:30,419
had been utilized

68
00:02:30,419 --> 00:02:32,419
to increase capital,

69
00:02:32,419 --> 00:02:34,419
increase profit,

70
00:02:34,419 --> 00:02:36,419
and expand the business and trade.

71
00:02:36,419 --> 00:02:38,419
He came up with high figures

72
00:02:38,419 --> 00:02:40,419
and significant sums of money

73
00:02:40,419 --> 00:02:42,419
that were not to be underestimated.

74
00:02:42,419 --> 00:02:44,419
And so,

75
00:02:44,419 --> 00:02:46,419
he decided

76
00:02:46,419 --> 00:02:48,419
to discuss this matter with his father

77
00:02:48,419 --> 00:02:50,419
and tried to convince him

78
00:02:50,419 --> 00:02:52,419
to stop this

79
00:02:52,419 --> 00:02:54,419
action that was harming him,

80
00:02:54,419 --> 00:02:56,419
for it contradicted commercial logic

81
00:02:56,419 --> 00:02:58,419
and everything he had learned

82
00:02:58,419 --> 00:03:00,419
of the laws

83
00:03:00,419 --> 00:03:02,419
of economics and trade

84
00:03:02,419 --> 00:03:04,419
in the greatest universities

85
00:03:04,419 --> 00:03:06,419
of the world.

86
00:03:06,419 --> 00:03:08,419
His father did nothing

87
00:03:08,419 --> 00:03:10,419
but smile calmly

88
00:03:10,419 --> 00:03:12,419
and ask him a question

89
00:03:12,419 --> 00:03:14,419
that was extremely simple.

90
00:03:14,419 --> 00:03:16,419
He said, "My son,"

91
00:03:16,419 --> 00:03:18,419
"are sheep"

92
00:03:18,419 --> 00:03:20,419
"more numerous, or dogs?"

93
00:03:20,419 --> 00:03:22,419
The boy replied,

94
00:03:22,419 --> 00:03:24,419
"Sheep are certainly more numerous."

95
00:03:24,419 --> 00:03:26,419
The father asked him,

96
00:03:26,419 --> 00:03:28,419
"And how many times do dogs give birth"

97
00:03:28,419 --> 00:03:30,419
"in a year?"

98
00:03:30,419 --> 00:03:32,419
"And how many times do sheep give birth?"

99
00:03:32,419 --> 00:03:34,419
The boy said,

100
00:03:34,419 --> 00:03:36,419
"Dogs give birth more than once,"

101
00:03:36,419 --> 00:03:38,419
"and each time,"

102
00:03:38,419 --> 00:03:40,419
"five or six,"

103
00:03:40,419 --> 00:03:42,419
"and perhaps more,"

104
00:03:42,419 --> 00:03:44,419
"while sheep"

105
00:03:44,419 --> 00:03:46,419
"do not give birth in a single year"

106
00:03:46,419 --> 00:03:48,419
"to more than one lamb or two at most."

107
00:03:48,419 --> 00:03:50,419
The father continued,

108
00:03:50,419 --> 00:03:52,419
saying,

109
00:03:52,419 --> 00:03:54,419
"And do people"

110
00:03:54,419 --> 00:03:56,419
"eat the meat of sheep and lambs,"

111
00:03:56,419 --> 00:03:58,419
"or the meat of dogs?"

112
00:03:58,419 --> 00:04:00,419
The young man's astonishment increased

113
00:04:00,419 --> 00:04:02,419
at the questions,

114
00:04:02,419 --> 00:04:04,419
and he did not know what his father

115
00:04:04,419 --> 00:04:06,419
wanted to say to him.

116
00:04:06,419 --> 00:04:08,419
But he replied in any case,

117
00:04:08,419 --> 00:04:10,419
saying,

118
00:04:10,419 --> 00:04:12,419
"Of course, people"

119
00:04:12,419 --> 00:04:14,419
"eat sheep and lambs."

120
00:04:14,419 --> 00:04:16,420
The father said to him,

121
00:04:16,420 --> 00:04:18,420
"As long as dogs,"

122
00:04:18,420 --> 00:04:20,420
"and as long as people"

123
00:04:20,420 --> 00:04:22,420
"eat sheep and lambs,"

124
00:04:22,420 --> 00:04:24,420
"and do not eat dogs,"

125
00:04:24,420 --> 00:04:26,420
"why, then,"

126
00:04:26,420 --> 00:04:28,420
"is the number of sheep"

127
00:04:28,420 --> 00:04:30,420
"many times over the number of dogs?"

128
00:04:30,420 --> 00:04:32,420
The young man fell silent

129
00:04:32,420 --> 00:04:34,420
and could not answer

130
00:04:34,420 --> 00:04:36,420
this question.

131
00:04:36,420 --> 00:04:38,420
The father continued his hadith, saying,

132
00:04:38,420 --> 00:04:40,420
"My son,"

133
00:04:40,420 --> 00:04:42,420
"these matters"

134
00:04:42,420 --> 00:04:44,420
"are not taught in the greatest"

135
00:04:44,420 --> 00:04:46,420
"universities in the world."

136
00:04:46,420 --> 00:04:48,420
"This is barakah,"

137
00:04:48,420 --> 00:04:50,420
"and this is charity,"

138
00:04:50,420 --> 00:04:52,420
"and doing good,"

139
00:04:52,420 --> 00:04:54,420
"which increases wealth and causes it to grow,"

140
00:04:54,420 --> 00:04:56,420
"and never diminishes it."

141
00:04:56,420 --> 00:04:58,420
"Indeed, it is a profitable"

142
00:04:58,420 --> 00:05:00,420
"trade with Allah."

143
00:05:00,420 --> 00:05:02,420
The Messenger of Allah,

144
00:05:02,420 --> 00:05:04,420
peace be upon him, said:

145
00:05:04,420 --> 00:05:06,420
"Wealth does not decrease"

146
00:05:06,420 --> 00:05:08,420
"because of charity."

147
00:05:08,420 --> 00:05:10,420
Narrated by al-Tirmidhi.

148
00:05:10,420 --> 00:05:12,420
This is the first story.

149
00:05:12,420 --> 00:05:14,420
And listen to the second, O servants of Allah,

150
00:05:14,420 --> 00:05:16,420
which

151
00:05:16,420 --> 00:05:18,420
is more amazing than the first

152
00:05:18,420 --> 00:05:20,420
regarding the virtue of this subject

153
00:05:20,420 --> 00:05:22,420
that we are talking about.

154
00:05:22,420 --> 00:05:24,420
There was

155
00:05:24,420 --> 00:05:26,420
a teacher who was giving lessons

156
00:05:26,420 --> 00:05:28,420
to a group

157
00:05:28,420 --> 00:05:30,420
of women,

158
00:05:30,420 --> 00:05:32,420
and she was urging them to give charity.

159
00:05:32,420 --> 00:05:34,420
After the lesson ended,

160
00:05:34,420 --> 00:05:36,420
and in order to ensure

161
00:05:36,420 --> 00:05:38,420
that the teacher

162
00:05:38,420 --> 00:05:40,420
was certain everyone understood the lesson well,

163
00:05:40,420 --> 00:05:42,420
she opened a box

164
00:05:42,420 --> 00:05:44,420
to collect charity for the poor.

165
00:05:44,420 --> 00:05:46,420
Every woman present

166
00:05:46,420 --> 00:05:48,420
who was attending the lesson

167
00:05:48,420 --> 00:05:50,420
hastened

168
00:05:50,420 --> 00:05:52,420
to give charity

169
00:05:52,420 --> 00:05:54,420
with whatever money she had.

170
00:05:54,420 --> 00:05:56,420
Indeed, there were even some

171
00:05:56,420 --> 00:05:58,420
who did not have enough money,

172
00:05:58,420 --> 00:06:00,420
so they began to give charity

173
00:06:00,420 --> 00:06:02,420
from their jewelry.

174
00:06:02,420 --> 00:06:04,420
Some of them took off

175
00:06:04,420 --> 00:06:06,420
their earrings,

176
00:06:06,420 --> 00:06:08,420
and some took off their necklaces.

177
00:06:08,420 --> 00:06:10,420
Among those sitting

178
00:06:10,420 --> 00:06:12,420
was an elderly woman,

179
00:06:12,420 --> 00:06:14,420
well-off,

180
00:06:14,420 --> 00:06:16,420
who was wearing a necklace

181
00:06:16,420 --> 00:06:18,420
made of pure

182
00:06:18,420 --> 00:06:20,420
pearls.

183
00:06:20,420 --> 00:06:22,420
She stood up and donated this necklace.

184
00:06:22,420 --> 00:06:24,420
At this point, the teacher

185
00:06:24,420 --> 00:06:26,420
refused

186
00:06:26,420 --> 00:06:28,420
to take it and said

187
00:06:28,420 --> 00:06:30,420
to her, "This necklace"

188
00:06:30,420 --> 00:06:32,420
"is very valuable,"

189
00:06:32,420 --> 00:06:34,420
"I cannot accept it."

190
00:06:34,420 --> 00:06:36,420
But the woman

191
00:06:36,420 --> 00:06:38,420
insisted on donating it.

192
00:06:38,420 --> 00:06:40,420
The next day,

193
00:06:40,420 --> 00:06:42,420
the teacher went

194
00:06:42,420 --> 00:06:44,420
to a jeweler

195
00:06:44,420 --> 00:06:46,420
to sell what she had received

196
00:06:46,420 --> 00:06:48,420
and then donate it

197
00:06:48,420 --> 00:06:50,420
as charity.

198
00:06:50,420 --> 00:06:52,420
When the jeweler

199
00:06:52,420 --> 00:06:54,420
saw the valuable

200
00:06:54,420 --> 00:06:56,420
The jeweler was dazzled by it,

201
00:06:56,420 --> 00:06:58,420
and he said to her,

202
00:06:58,420 --> 00:07:00,420
"What a precious necklace this is!

203
00:07:00,420 --> 00:07:02,420
However,

204
00:07:02,420 --> 00:07:04,420
to appraise it,

205
00:07:04,420 --> 00:07:06,420
I must first remove

206
00:07:06,420 --> 00:07:08,420
all the beads."

207
00:07:08,420 --> 00:07:10,420
"Do you agree?"

208
00:07:10,420 --> 00:07:12,420
The teacher agreed.

209
00:07:12,420 --> 00:07:14,420
A merchant came to the teacher,

210
00:07:14,420 --> 00:07:16,420
looking fearful,

211
00:07:16,420 --> 00:07:18,420
and said to her, "When

212
00:07:18,420 --> 00:07:20,420
I removed the beads from their place,

213
00:07:20,420 --> 00:07:22,420
I found beneath them

214
00:07:22,420 --> 00:07:24,420
clippings of hair

215
00:07:24,420 --> 00:07:26,420
and women’s fingernails.

216
00:07:26,420 --> 00:07:28,420
These things are likely

217
00:07:28,420 --> 00:07:30,420
the work of sorcery."

218
00:07:30,420 --> 00:07:32,420
At that moment, the teacher realized

219
00:07:32,420 --> 00:07:34,420
that she was facing a story

220
00:07:34,420 --> 00:07:36,420
about the virtue of charity.

221
00:07:36,420 --> 00:07:38,420
The following Friday,

222
00:07:38,420 --> 00:07:40,420
the teacher met the woman

223
00:07:40,420 --> 00:07:42,420
who had donated the necklace,

224
00:07:42,420 --> 00:07:44,420
and said to her,

225
00:07:44,420 --> 00:07:46,420
"How are you?

226
00:07:46,420 --> 00:07:48,420
How are your affairs?"

227
00:07:48,420 --> 00:07:50,420
She replied, "I had been,

228
00:07:50,420 --> 00:07:52,420
along with my children and my husband,

229
00:07:52,420 --> 00:07:54,420
in a state of dispersion and estrangement,

230
00:07:54,420 --> 00:07:56,420
and great mutual aversion.

231
00:07:56,420 --> 00:07:58,420
But as soon as I gave the necklace in charity,

232
00:07:58,420 --> 00:08:00,420
I sat with my children

233
00:08:00,420 --> 00:08:02,420
and my husband

234
00:08:02,420 --> 00:08:04,420
at one table

235
00:08:04,420 --> 00:08:06,420
for the first time

236
00:08:06,420 --> 00:08:08,420
in over twenty years.

237
00:08:08,420 --> 00:08:10,420
In fact, we have begun

238
00:08:10,420 --> 00:08:12,420
to converse and laugh

239
00:08:12,420 --> 00:08:14,420
naturally,

240
00:08:14,420 --> 00:08:16,420
as if nothing had ever happened."

241
00:08:16,420 --> 00:08:18,420
Do you see, O servants of Allah?

242
00:08:18,420 --> 00:08:20,420
Then the teacher said to her,

243
00:08:20,420 --> 00:08:22,420
"This charity

244
00:08:22,420 --> 00:08:24,420
warded off harm from you,

245
00:08:24,420 --> 00:08:26,420
for the necklace had been enchanted."

246
00:08:26,420 --> 00:08:28,420
The woman was astonished

247
00:08:28,420 --> 00:08:30,420
and asked, "How so?"

248
00:08:30,420 --> 00:08:32,419
"A close friend gifted me the necklace,

249
00:08:32,419 --> 00:08:34,419
and I loved her

250
00:08:34,419 --> 00:08:36,419
to the point that I would not take it off,

251
00:08:36,419 --> 00:08:38,419
even while I slept."

252
00:08:38,419 --> 00:08:40,419
"So praise be to Allah,

253
00:08:40,419 --> 00:08:42,419
who removed the veil

254
00:08:42,419 --> 00:08:44,419
from my insight,

255
00:08:44,419 --> 00:08:46,419
and by His grace,

256
00:08:46,419 --> 00:08:48,419
made me never to be miserable again."

257
00:08:48,419 --> 00:08:50,419
As for the third, O servants of Allah,

258
00:08:50,419 --> 00:08:52,419
I tell you

259
00:08:52,419 --> 00:08:54,419
about a man I know closely,

260
00:08:54,419 --> 00:08:56,419
and he may even be among us

261
00:08:56,419 --> 00:08:58,419
in this mosque.

262
00:08:58,419 --> 00:09:00,419
I have traveled with him,

263
00:09:00,419 --> 00:09:02,419
and I found him to be generous

264
00:09:02,419 --> 00:09:04,419
and a lover of good.

265
00:09:04,419 --> 00:09:06,419
He was afflicted with an illness

266
00:09:06,419 --> 00:09:08,419
that baffled the doctors,

267
00:09:08,419 --> 00:09:10,419
and they were unable to treat it.

268
00:09:10,419 --> 00:09:12,419
He began to say of himself,

269
00:09:12,419 --> 00:09:14,419
he said, "I reached a state

270
00:09:14,419 --> 00:09:16,639
known only to Allah,

271
00:09:16,639 --> 00:09:18,639
of despair and exhaustion,

272
00:09:18,639 --> 00:09:20,700
until I began

273
00:09:20,700 --> 00:09:22,700
to await death.

274
00:09:22,700 --> 00:09:24,700
Then Allah opened the way for me through charity,

275
00:09:24,700 --> 00:09:26,700
so I began to give charity

276
00:09:26,700 --> 00:09:28,700
every day, morning and evening,

277
00:09:28,700 --> 00:09:30,700
with the intention

278
00:09:30,700 --> 00:09:32,700
that Allah would heal me."

279
00:09:32,700 --> 00:09:34,700
He said, "Days passed,

280
00:09:34,700 --> 00:09:36,700
and I began to see

281
00:09:36,700 --> 00:09:38,700
a vast difference

282
00:09:38,700 --> 00:09:40,700
and a wide gap

283
00:09:40,700 --> 00:09:42,700
in my health for the better,

284
00:09:42,700 --> 00:09:44,700
until the appointed day came,

285
00:09:44,700 --> 00:09:46,700
and I met with the attending physician.

286
00:09:46,700 --> 00:09:48,700
He requested a repeat

287
00:09:48,700 --> 00:09:50,700
of the tests.

288
00:09:50,700 --> 00:09:52,700
When he saw them,

289
00:09:52,700 --> 00:09:54,700
he was dazzled and amazed.

290
00:09:54,700 --> 00:09:56,700
By Allah,

291
00:09:56,700 --> 00:09:58,700
there was no trace of any illness

292
00:09:58,700 --> 00:10:00,700
from what had been there before.

293
00:10:00,700 --> 00:10:02,700
'What did you do?

294
00:10:02,700 --> 00:10:04,700
What medicine did you take?'

295
00:10:04,700 --> 00:10:06,700
When I told him,

296
00:10:06,700 --> 00:10:08,700
he said, 'There is no god but Allah.

297
00:10:08,700 --> 00:10:10,700
Indeed, Allah is over all things

298
00:10:10,700 --> 00:10:12,700
omnipotent.'"

299
00:10:12,700 --> 00:10:14,700
Do you see, O servants of Allah,

300
00:10:14,700 --> 00:10:16,700
the effect of charity?

301
00:10:16,700 --> 00:10:18,700
Charity is like a wide well,

302
00:10:18,700 --> 00:10:20,700
which,

303
00:10:20,700 --> 00:10:22,700
if you lower a bucket into it,

304
00:10:22,700 --> 00:10:24,700
returns to you

305
00:10:24,700 --> 00:10:26,700
full, containing blessings

306
00:10:26,700 --> 00:10:28,700
that only Allah knows.

307
00:10:28,700 --> 00:10:30,700
Yes, it returns to you,

308
00:10:30,700 --> 00:10:32,700
your bucket, filled with blessings

309
00:10:32,700 --> 00:10:34,700
that never end.

310
00:10:34,700 --> 00:10:36,700
Our topic, O servants of Allah,

311
00:10:36,700 --> 00:10:38,700
our topic is charity.

312
00:10:38,700 --> 00:10:40,700
Charity, O servants of Allah,

313
00:10:40,700 --> 00:10:42,700
and its

314
00:10:42,700 --> 00:10:44,700
great impact.

315
00:10:44,700 --> 00:10:46,700
Charity is a protection from the Fire,

316
00:10:46,700 --> 00:10:48,700
and charity extinguishes the anger of the Almighty,

317
00:10:48,700 --> 00:10:50,700
and wipes away sin.

318
00:10:50,700 --> 00:10:52,700
Charity is shade for its giver

319
00:10:52,700 --> 00:10:54,700
on the Day of Resurrection.

320
00:10:54,700 --> 00:10:56,700
Charity is a cause for healing

321
00:10:56,700 --> 00:10:58,700
from diseases of the heart

322
00:10:58,700 --> 00:11:00,700
and the body.

323
00:11:00,700 --> 00:11:02,700
Charity, O servants of Allah,

324
00:11:02,700 --> 00:11:04,700
is a cause for winning

325
00:11:04,700 --> 00:11:06,700
the supplication of the angels

326
00:11:06,700 --> 00:11:08,700
for replacement and compensation.

327
00:11:08,700 --> 00:11:10,700
Charity is a cause for blessing,

328
00:11:10,700 --> 00:11:12,700
and a cause for entering Paradise,

329
00:11:12,700 --> 00:11:14,700
and for salvation from the Fire.

330
00:11:14,700 --> 00:11:16,700
Charity is a cause that

331
00:11:16,700 --> 00:11:18,700
gladdens the heart,

332
00:11:18,700 --> 00:11:20,700
preserves wealth,

333
00:11:20,700 --> 00:11:22,700
repels calamity,

334
00:11:22,700 --> 00:11:24,700
and protects against evil ends.

335
00:11:24,700 --> 00:11:26,700
Charity, O servants of Allah,

336
00:11:26,700 --> 00:11:28,700
covers every fault,

337
00:11:28,700 --> 00:11:30,700
increases one's lifespan,

338
00:11:30,700 --> 00:11:32,700
attracts the prayers of people,

339
00:11:32,700 --> 00:11:34,700
and intercedes for you before Allah.

340
00:11:34,700 --> 00:11:36,700
I ask Allah, the Majestic,

341
00:11:36,700 --> 00:11:38,700
to make us among His servants

342
00:11:38,700 --> 00:11:40,700
who do good,

343
00:11:40,700 --> 00:11:42,700
among His servants who give charity,

344
00:11:42,700 --> 00:11:44,700
and among His righteous, God-fearing servants.

345
00:11:44,700 --> 00:11:48,049
Until our next meeting,

346
00:11:48,049 --> 00:11:50,049
within the "Echo of the Pulpits" series,

347
00:11:50,049 --> 00:11:52,049
and peace be upon you,

348
00:11:52,049 --> 00:11:54,049
and the mercy of Allah,

349
00:11:54,049 --> 00:11:56,049
and His blessings.
