find up on the center line of the runway. Get those wings level. That's it. You're doing fine. It could help if you understood better just how air affects a landing airplane. In other words, let's bone up on basic aerodynamics. It's important that you know how an airplane flies. Many accidents are caused by lack of understanding basic aerodynamics. That's why we have ground school. To get pilots to understand the fundamentals of aerodynamics and make our flight training hours more effective, it's all concerned with answering the question, how do airplanes fly? From a pilot's viewpoint, the aerodynamics we need to know is relatively simple. It's enough to know that this whole field of physics called aerodynamics is largely concerned with the motions of air and other forces and how these forces relate to the mechanics of flying. We don't need to get involved with the mathematical formulas with which aircraft designers deal. But if you asked an aeronautical engineer to answer our question of how an airplane flies, he'd say quite properly that very simply put, it's primarily because lift equals the coefficient of lift times 1 half rho, the atmospheric density factor times the velocity in feet per second squared times the total wing area in square feet. Of course, you don't have to be a graduate aerodynamicist to fly, but you do need to know some of the principles of flight theory which will apply to any aircraft you fly. It's much the same thing as knowing what a road is and how a car is operated in order to become an accomplished driver. But unlike a road, the motion of air is hard to visualize. Perhaps that's one of the reasons why aerodynamics seems difficult to test. Air, of course, is simply a mixture of gases. We live at the lower layer of the atmosphere. This not only makes it possible for us to breathe, but it is also the air that enables us to fly. All we really need to know about air right now is that it has substance, that it is denser near the earth and gets thinner at higher altitudes. Thus, it exerts force when it moves. And as far as air being invisible, the aerodynamicists have come up with a way for us to see it in a smoke tunnel. It's done by drawing streams of smoke into the air. If we can see the air, then perhaps it will help us answer our beginning question. How do airplanes fly? We'll start with a double wing model in the airflow. The action of the air between the wings will demonstrate a basic principle of aerodynamics. Now, by animation, let's study the airflow in greater detail. First, note that its pattern suggests it is passing through a tube-shaped device. Next, notice that the entrance and exit of the device are the same size. We can measure the openings and find that the ends are each 10 square inches. The middle part is squeezed, creating a throat of 5 square inches. Now, if we direct smoke lines through the device, its pattern will show that something happens to the air where it goes through the narrowed part. What we find is that when the air speed is 100 miles an hour at the entrance of the device, it is also 100 miles an hour at the exit. Yet at the same time, the speed at the narrow part is considerably higher. It can easily be understood, therefore, that the air increases in speed as it passes through the smaller opening. But the interesting thing is that in order for the air to go at the faster speed through the narrow part, something has to balance this change in velocity, this speed difference. What changes is the air pressure in the narrow part. This pressure is significantly lower than the pressure at either end. But what does this have to do with flying? If we cut the model in half, we would have a profile similar to an aircraft wing section called an airfoil. You can see how helpful it would be to lower the pressure over a wing. Why? So that the comparatively higher pressure under the wing would push or lift it into the area of lower pressure above the wing. That's part of how an airplane flies. Some of today's wings have what is called a symmetrical airfoil with the same curvature on both sides. In level flight, this design will tend to equalize the pressure on the top and bottom of the airfoil. But watch what happens to the airflow when we incline the airfoil a few degrees. We have caused a low pressure on top of the wing. This creates a pressure difference between the top and bottom, giving us lift. The airflow striking the fixed wing airfoil of an aircraft or the aircraft itself is called the relative wind. The direction of the relative wind is always opposite to and parallel with the flight path of the airplane. In level flight, therefore, the relative wind and the flight path are horizontal and parallel. The center line or cord line of the airfoil, however, even in level flight, forms a small angle with a flight path. We call this angle the angle of attack. We have given it the symbol alpha. What happens when we increase the angle of attack? When we increase alpha, we increase the pressure difference. This creates more lift. But there's a limit on the lift. See what happens to our smooth flow when we increase the angle of attack further. This is where the stall begins. If the alpha angle is increased even more, lift will decrease rapidly until there is total stall with a great loss of lift and turbulence so great it may buffet the airfoil. As a pilot, you'll need a healthy respect for stall. The three aerodynamic principles we've just seen. Lift, angle of attack, and stall are so important we ought to put tags on them. This symbol might serve to remind us of the principle of lift. Lift is the flying principle that, as air is accelerated over an airfoil, it reduces pressure and thus overcomes weight. Let's tag angle of attack with an angle and the Greek letter alpha. As you recall, alpha is simply the angle formed between the relative wind and the chord line of the airfoil, but its importance is in the fact that even small variations affect the amount of lift. Stall might be represented this way with emphasis on the fact that the air flowing over the top of the airfoil ceases to follow the upper curved surface and breaks away in eddies of air. Stall, of course, is the result of an alpha so great that the air can no longer flow smoothly over the curved top surface of the wing. Stall, for many airfoils, begins at about 15 degrees. Why all this talk about airfoils? Well, as we've said, wings are airfoils. But note the other airfoil shapes. The vertical tail, the horizontal tail, even the propeller. And in a sense, the fuselage itself, all are aerodynamic shapes. The design of an aircraft is determined by a careful consideration of many aerodynamic shapes and how they totally respond to the principles of lift, angle of attack, and stall. And because these airfoils are so important aerodynamically, let's get to know their language. To begin with, they have a rounded leading edge and a pointed trailing edge. The center line from the center of the leading edge to the point of the trailing edge is called the cord line. We also speak of camber of an airfoil. Camber refers to curvature. We've spoken of the forces of lift, angle of attack, and stall that work on an airfoil. But there are two others. First, we need a fourth to make the plane go forward and create the relative wind. This is called thrust. Since thrust is another of the major aerodynamic forces, we'll tag it with a symbol representing a propeller and an arrow. Thrust is generated by an engine which exerts the force to move the aircraft forward. Aerodynamically, the airfoils of the propeller blades form lift or low pressure in front of the blades, pulling the propeller forward. But what about thrust in the case of jets? The exhaust gases and air are pushed out of the exhaust with such tremendous action that the balancing reaction thrusts the aircraft forward. But when the airfoil or any object for that matter is thrust through the air, there is a retarding force of air resistance and inertia. We call this drag. Let's represent drag as a backward arrow and a parachute. Drag, too, is one of our major aerodynamic forces. Now we've come to the point of examining all the forces acting on an airfoil in flight. Lift, we know, is what holds up the airplane. Putting it another way, it overcomes the weight of the airplane. Thrust is what moves the airfoil ahead and overcomes drag. When an airplane is flying straight and level and is not accelerating, these forces are in balance. Thrust equaling drag and lift equaling weight. But we don't just fly straight and level. We have to get up there and back down and we want to move around. Suppose we increase power. We increase thrust. And while it is out of balance with drag, speed will increase. But drag will also increase with speed until these forces are in balance. By increasing the speed, we also increase the lift capability of the aircraft because more air is flowing over the airfoil. The lift is maintained equal to weight by changing the angle of attack with speed. In steady level flight, all forces are in balance. Thrust equals drag and lift equals weight. And this forces in balance relationship is so important a principle of aerodynamics that it too should have one of our tags. Let's make it with four equal arrows for lift, drag, thrust and weight. But let's not leave our discussion of these forces without noting that they may be acted on or influenced by outside factors. As we've said, an airplane is a total of many aerodynamic shapes, but some of these are variable. That's how we control flight. The vertical tail has aerodynamic characteristics due to its shape. These cause it to move the fuselage from side to side as the rudder is deflected. This smirk tunnel model shows how control surfaces work. When the hinged surface is moved away from the streamline position, we increase camber. This gives us a controlled pressure difference which produces a desired force. Elevators are hinged surfaces connected to the horizontal stabilizer. They work in the same way as the rudder. Moving the elevators varies the angle of attack of the airplane. This small control surface is called a trim tab and it is an aerodynamic device used to ease the pressure on pilot controls by creating enough lift in the segment to hold the control surface in position aerodynamically. Ailerons, too, are movable surfaces. They are placed outboard toward the wing tips. As they are moved, they vary the air form, increasing the lifting force on one wing while decreasing the lifting force on the other. In some aircraft, there are other devices to vary the aerodynamics of the wing. Most of these are high lift devices, such as flaps, which reduce the stall speed during landing and takeoff. Perhaps you'd like to see the aerodynamic results of the total airplane in the smoke tunnel. Starting at the midline of the fuselage, we slowly move the smoke lines. Note how the shadow of the smoke line moves across the top of the wing. You can see how the air flow is affected by the plane structure. If you look closely, you can see how increasing alpha increases the lift. But what happens to the total aerodynamics when we increase alpha beyond that recommended? You guessed it, stall. Curiously, many inexperienced pilots tend to attempt to raise the nose of the stalled aircraft because of the sensation of falling, which of course increases the angle of attack and brings on deeper stall. What must be done to recover from stall is to lower the angle of attack and make the aircraft fly again by putting all the forces in balance. Let's watch the stall develop from above this airfoil. Note that the stall begins, at least on this shape wing, near the fuselage. This is due to the wing twist or washout, as it is called. The pilot would begin to feel the effects of stall before it reaches the control surfaces. But if he didn't heed this warning or a properly working stall warning horn, the turbulence would work its way out until the entire wing is stalled. While we're looking at the top of a wing's aerodynamics, note that air from under the wing tip tends to work outward and toward the top of the wing as it leaves the airfoil. At the same time, the air above the wing is deflected downward. The air mass tries to balance itself. This is of considerable consequence because it sets up violent whirlpools of air called vortices. And one of these disturbances could last for as much as several minutes in the air. A vortex like this one is an invisible hazard, especially around busy airports where large, heavy aircraft form them during takeoff and landing. They are the reason we always try to avoid the known paths of large, heavy, arriving and departing aircraft. Flight maneuvers create factors for the pilot to consider. For example, an airplane in a tight turn adds impressive, centrifugal forces. The forces are out of balance in such attitudes, and the pilot must adjust to them accordingly. Turbulence, too, is an outside factor seriously affecting the aircraft's aerodynamics. But these are whole subjects in themselves and should be reviewed extensively by pilots as part of their continuing self-training. What we have seen is, of course, by no means the complete aerodynamic story. It's only a beginning to be added to by experience and reviewed throughout a pilot's flying career. The better a pilot understands the basic aerodynamics of flying, the safer he will be able to fly. And knowing how airplanes fly is essential to the skill and enjoyment of flying.


Good morning, Dr. Hirsch and the Scholarship Committee. I just want to say thank you so much. My name is Jason Bowen. I am one of the recipients of the special session scholarships for 2019. I just realized how much of a tongue twister that is. But I just want to say thank you. It means the world to me because I have recently made a transition and my career choices to become a librarian and it's not where I thought I would be, but I'm excited for it. I've recently started working at a university library. Mostly at the reference desk. I'm now full-time at the library, so my responsibilities are expanding quite a bit, but I'm loving every moment of it. I'm loving the challenges that are being provided and I'm loving the opportunities to continue to help students to learn and to grow because education has always been sort of my passion and I just never thought it would have ended up being in library science. I'm really excited to start at San Jose State University for the main reason that I've never done well in online programs in the past, but I feel like San Jose State University's curriculum sets students up for success. Between what I saw in the introductory open house type sessions on Zoom, the students still seem to have a sense of community that I have never seen in online classes before. All the students I've talked to have really caught on to the Spartan spirit and I'm excited to become a part of that community. So once again, I just want to say thank you. Thank you so much for this opportunity and I look forward to seeing hopefully everybody in some form or capacity in the fall. Thank you again.

tell you something when you see a person who's powerful in authority who's got a lot of clout and they're not muslim or they're using their energy in a destructive way and you keep on having hope that you know if this energy can be used in the right direction it will definitely do a great service to islam and the muslim in this person has potential we're not looking at the evil that's coming from them we're looking at the potential the strength the dedication with which they're using these energies in a wrong way and we are saying if it can be channeled in the correct way subhanallah it would be amazing because this person افتلس لی گوزن makes people's lives difficult imagine if they had to be effortlessly going to make people's lives easy how brilliant it would be that is heavenly that is prophetic it's amazing he had hope and he kept on saying oh allah and this is the translation of that du'a grant strength to islam through the acceptance of islam of one of the two عمرs one was known as عمر ابنو حیشام that was the proper name of ابو جہل and one was عمر ابنو الخطاب the man we know رضی الله عنہ لیتے to be known as so he kept making this du'a and he kept asking and he asked اللہ سبحانہ و تعالی do you know why he was waiting for the turning point in them waiting for it he knew it would come when allah wills if allah wills but for him he knows his duty was to convey the message keep on being kind be the best person continue having hope they will come one day and they came one of them came عمر ابنو خطاب رضی الله عنہ and the day he came there was strength granted to islam the man used his energy he used his reputation in society he used the authority that he had to a certain extent in the right direction because he says as soon as he accepted islam اللہ سبحانہ و تعالی حق we not on the straight path and the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم says yes we are indeed we are why should we fear people let's fulfill salah in public let's engage in our prayer in public why should be why should we be worried about these people of quraish that they may harm us they may do this they may do that they can do nothing i am there اللہ is there so they had these two rows of people one was led by حمزہ ابن عبد المطلب and the other was led by عمر بل خطاب رضی الله عنہ they marched in full view of the people of quraish to the حرم to مکر for the first time they read salah in congregation at that time salah was not yet compulsory it was still a voluntary act of worship and they went forth and they engaged in salah the salah that was given in معراج was that salah which was now compulsory and that's when it became five times five times a day that is later on but earlier it was voluntary it was only two units and it was voluntary so they got to the kaaba they got to the front and they read openly they read clearly they used to face Jerusalem at the time it's something unique but the point being raised is عمر بل خطاب رضی الله عنہ was really a man whom اللہ used in order to strengthen the deen and from this it teaches us never lose hope in people never ever no matter who they are your children your friends the drunkard the one in the clubs the one on drugs the one who has the worst qualities keep on praying keep on trying keep on having hope keep on being kind and keep on explaining the truth continuing to explain the truth in a beautiful manner you don't need to become harsh you don't need to become hard because اللہ says in the quran فَبِمَا رَحْمَتِمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ لِنْ تَلَہُمْ وَلَوْ کُونْ تَفَضْضًا غلِضَ الْقَلْبِ لَنْ فَضْضُّ مِنْ حَوْلِكِ It is because of the mercy of اللہ سبحانہ وطعالہ that you were lenient with them or upon them you were kind to them you were سفت with them اللہ says that is the mercy of اللہ when you're soft with people when you kind to them when you're lenient with them it's a sign of the mercy of اللہ upon you and اللہ says if you were hard hearted if you were harsh and hard hearted they would have dispersed from around you they wouldn't have listened to you you have people who don't want to hear a message of doom they want to be told you know with a pat on the back don't worry you're doing well but you can do better there's a way of speaking don't worry you're doing well each one of us has a struggle we are all trying i said it this morning at another university and to be honest i live by it i know there are struggles myself included we are all struggling to earn the pleasure of اللہ and to improve no matter what level i am upon or you are upon every one of us knows we are trying to become better people as the day is passed so much so that if i were to ask you today how many of you read five salah a day i'm sure i would see most of the hands i hope and if i were to ask you how many of us read salah to tahajjud for example i would see slightly less hands but in your heart you know i want to get there someday and by the mercy of اللہ he sometimes inflicts you with something that makes you get up for tahajjud do you know why he just wants you to taste the sweetness of it how many of us have had a difficulty that led us to this late night prayer early morning prayer in a way that we tasted its sweetness even after the problem was gone we still get up once in a while and we love pleasing اللہ in that way the prayer that no one's watching that's a gift of اللہ so we all have our struggles the sisters perhaps with all the peer pressure perhaps the environmental pressure in whatever way it is you know everything that's happening around us the environment sometimes it's difficult even to dress appropriately you know your struggles and therefore you know that you'd like to improve this and you'd like to improve that and perhaps i i believe firmly that every one of us improves as time passes and wherever we falter and drop we turn back to اللہ imagine someone coming to you and say you know what you're not worth it you're still going to hell that's it can you feel it burning اللہ forgive us the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him waited patiently he kept on dedicatedly reminding the people to say hang on this is the path this is اللہ this is the way and he did not lose hope and he continued the same message over and over again in different words if you look at the reminder of salah how many times does it appear in the Quran anyone knows where اللہ says establish your salah we all know it's more than once it's more than twice it's quite a few times the reason is اللہ is telling you hang on there are so many different times and places in the quran and wordings because one of them may affect you as you're reading the quran we are taught to read it from cover to cover say for example and this is something unique to also taught by Muhammad peace be upon him the hearts of the people are not the same every day and they fluctuate and change so grab that heart when it's at a point where it is going to absorb what's coming in the direction of it in terms of spirituality in order to give it a good message so i give you an example you're busy reading the quran at the beginning of ramadan and mashallah you're excited and so on and you're reading the meaning of it and اللہ tells you to establish your salah establish your prayer and it didn't really hit you that much because as it is you're reading tarawih and you're going on and on and on and then when it comes to the second half of ramadan you start softening up a bit because you know with us the month of ramadan you climax at the end right at the beginning everything is still okay i've got 29 days 28 days to go hey there's only six days to go let's get serious that's how ramadan is it's unique it's you know it's like a long race long race marathon near the end everyone becomes more serious to say now we've got to احمد اللہ not to say we weren't running at the beginning but to be honest as time passes you read it again they may come a time of the day that will be different they may come something that's happened in your day that particular day that has made you think from a different angle something that might have happened in your life that makes you feel this is the time for me to change this is the time for me to turn and then you turn and you only turned because that message was repeated in a different wording at a different time but it was the same message subhanallah if you ask yourself you know these imams who come to talk to us these scholars who come to talk to us perhaps the حلقات that we have that are a reminder for us if you ask yourself what is the message to be honest it's always the same message always it's telling you to get closer to Allah to become a better person to improve yourself to worry about what's to come after death and so on all of the messages are the same but the way they're worded different the timings different i believe that there are certain times of the day when people are more receptive to religious instruction perhaps i believe perhaps like at this time here the evening early evening it's a very blessed time early morning very blessed time you know the early hours of the morning subhanallah you and Allah imagine reading a book listening to a talk and suddenly it strikes a chord as they say you changed the same way you can change have hope in the rest of the people the rest of them everybody can change that is the سنہ of محمد صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم he always had hope let me give you another example a companion we spoke about this morning by the name of خالد ابن الوالید ابن المغیرہ رضی اللہ علیہ وسلم powerful man i'm sure we've heard his name okay after the battle of احد and after the treaty of حدیبیا the prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم called his brother who was already a muslim and he was already in madina and said where is خالد imagine the man is gone he's in makkah the man is not even in madina the man just fought us the man is part of the enemy but the prophet peace be upon him is calling his brother says where is خالد so the brother is answering to say okay you know a simple answer the prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم says he says a man like خالد so intelligent so bright he's got such a mind he is an expert he's got a top brain he cannot be ignorant of the correctness of islam that's all he said the prophet peace be upon him is saying this man no matter what he's done he didn't harp on the fact that you know in ڈھوٹ there were 70 people marted and in this is what happened in the other war and خالد did this and nothing of that nature he's a leader he has hope he's waiting for the turning point that's a sunnah that's part of the seerah and it is consistent throughout the life of Muhammad صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم absolutely all the time right up to the end he had hope including his uncle abu talib who was a man who did not accept the faith but the prophet peace be upon him on the death bed of this man abu talib he goes to him and says oh my uncle utter one statement and i will fight your case on the day of judgments what was that hope waiting for a turning point hoping for a turning point even at the last moment that's a sunnah so خالد بن الوالید the prophet peace be upon him says he will not be ignorant of it because he has such a top brain he will be will definitely be thinking about it in the meantime Allah alone knows what's happening to خالد بن الوالید he's considering he says no these people are so dedicated they're so kind yes we fought them yes i have the wrong perception of who they are that's what's happening today on the globe as well a lot of people don't know much about islam a lot of people look at it with skepticism because what do they hear exactly what خالد بن الوالید بن المغیرہ رضی اللہ عنہ who heard before islam he actually went out to fight the muslims and what happened because of the hope because of the goodness because of the kindness because of the character and the conduct of the rest of the muslimin and so on he continued meaning he started thinking about islam no way this is a religion it's a faith but he had one problem what was the problem i've killed people i've committed sin i've committed so much i've harmed i've done i don't think i'm going to be forgiven it took him a bit of a while he built the courage to come to مدین مناورہ and when he came in the prophet peace be upon him knew what was happening he knew he had a feeling this man is coming in is going to declare his faith but خالد بن الوالید رضی اللہ عنہ who did not declare his faith امیدیت لی he had a question he had a question to ask what was the question or messenger i've done so much what's going to happen to that i've committed sin you know what i did in اوپرد and so on the details he says what's going to happen to that and the prophet صلى اللہ وسلم says یا خالد ان ال اسلام يجب مقبلہ او خالد اسلام the fact that you are entering the fold will delete all the bad that you've done in the past guess what the good is carried through سبحان اللہ the bad and the evil is deleted wiped out gone سبحان اللہ he says he asked the question again he got the same answer he asked the question a third time he got the same answer then he stretches his hand he says on that condition i bear witness you are indeed the messenger of allah none worthy of worship besides allah and you are the messenger of allah سبحانہ و تعالی صلى اللہ علیہ وسلم this was how خالد ابن الوالید entered the fold of islam look at the beauty look at the goodness but did the prophet peace be upon him say no that's an enemy اللہ تعالی اللہ's curse on him he's he's he's a right office it's over we do that with muslims we do that with muslims this person is like this that one is like that this one is a goner what are you talking about it just depicts the condition of our own hearts and this is why i say be patient wait for the turning point in others and as for yourself ask yourself am i going to live to see the next morning why should i wait to turn myself so when it comes to others we are lenient when it comes to ourselves we should not be lenient turn now be hard on yourself don't be hard on others you ask yourself why am i not fulfilling my daily prayers why am i not dressing appropriately why do i not worship allah alone why do i have weaknesses of superstitious beliefs and so on why why am i engaging in this ask yourself those hard hitting questions but when it comes to others guide them slowly they will come at their pace if allah wills and if you take a look at the other companions of rasool allah سلام the same applied let's take a step further from خالی دیدن الوالید what was the next step they had the victory of makkah abu sufian who was the leader of the makkans he was one of the one of the enemies of islam who was the leader of the armies some of the armies that fought the muslimin and the victory of makkah when the muslimin were marching onto makkah with their power their might their numbers they would have wiped out anything in their path and the prophet peace be upon him says anyone who enters the house of abu sufian is safe do not harm anyone who doesn't hold a weapon do not harm the women and the children and the elderly do not harm the one who doesn't want to fight you do not harm the one who's gone into the places of worship take a look at what the muslimin are doing today in the name of islam places of worship they are harming people in the places of worship not only non muslim but muslimin this message was about non muslims non muslims in their places of worship no matter who and what they are worshiping the fact that they are in their places of worship they are not supposed to be harmed by the lip of muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم谁誰 ever enters their place of worship is supposed to be safe what are we doing take a look at how we've become so hard hardered we've turned away from the basic teachings of islam i'm not talking about us seated here perhaps but i'm talking about some activity that is happening in the name of islam not in my name not in yours not in the name of islam that is incorrect یہ بہت ہی ہے۔ لہذا when people talk about following the example of Muhammadﷺ the problem we have is a lot of people think that it's only connected to one aspect to two aspects. What about all this? What about what I've said today? Did you know that when we talk of the seerah and the sunnah of Muhammadﷺ, every aspect of your life is connected to it. Every single aspect, whatever you've done, your salah, your walking, you're talking, your cleanliness, what we could be speaking about the tahara and cleanliness and how to wash and how to bail and that would be the seerah of Muhammadﷺ and his sunnah. It would be because it's part and parcel of it. It's unique. It's amazing, but I believe that sometimes because of our weakness, we pick and choose and then we label others and then we look at others and start believing that we are better Muslim than them and this is where we falter. Let's keep on trying. Let's keep on having hope but my brothers and sisters, there is always a turning point in our lives. Allah does not leave a single human being without direct reminders to him or her in his or her life. It's not possible. The minute you arrive at the age of puberty, it's your duty to find Allah. It's your duty to look for him and he will reach out to you because he says clearly There is a beautiful hadith where he says whoever comes to me a handspan, I come to him a foot. Whoever comes to me walking, I come to him rushing. It's impossible for you to look for your maker and he's not looking for you. You look for him a little bit, he'll reach out to you but those signs need to be translated and interpreted in the correct sense. Sometimes it's in the form of a calamity. Sometimes it's in the form of prayers being answered.  What happens? You become a good Muslim for a little while, don't you? Mashallah. Yes, it is. Oh Allah, I promise you. I promise you.  Allah forgive us. It happens, doesn't it? Because why I need to pass my exams. The minute you see your results in you back again. Allah forgive us. This is a reality striking. That was Allah reaching out to you. Allah says you called out to me. Here I gave it to you. What happened? You appreciate, you thank Allah. You know like we say you can't have a guy in your life but you just need to regularize it. That's all. See those who've understood what it means. It's not an easy task. You can't have a guy. You know you can't have the woman of your dreams. You need to regularize it. It reminds me of a guy who came to invite everyone with a little card to say I'm getting married. I'm getting married. I'm getting married. I'm getting married. To who? Hey to the king's daughter. The princess. Oh you're getting married to the princess. And he used to just clean the streets. Yes I am. How did you do it? He says no. It's almost done. Fifty percent confirmed. How fifty percent? Well I'm extremely happy. I'm just waiting for them to accept. Allah help us. Allah guide us. Allah open our doors. But the point I'm raising is Allah creates things in our life.  Well Allah He sometimes failure makes you a person who is much better in character. Do you know that you have people sometimes who develop an arrogance because they pass just like this. They develop an arrogance. They become people who think hey you know that's it. It's me. Thank you fans. Thank you all you know. To be honest with you Allah will wake you up one day to say you know what you just one human being. You're going to return to me. These degrees are all temporary. They will help you for a few years. What's going to help you for the entire life after death is your relationship with me. We're not saying don't become whatever you want to become. Become but understand that will only help you when you serve Allah through your field over and above serving Allah through what He has made obligatory upon you. So how I start as a Muslim if I want to follow Muhammadﷺ I will start off with my obligations. I'll be a good Muslim. I'll try my best to fulfill my Salah to dress appropriately. My social relations need to be pure and clean and so on. I need to treat people with respect and what have you over and above that. If I am for example a doctor I will ensure that I am honest trust worthy hard working.  Do you want to hear the evidence people say what you mean I just look after dogs and I can enter heaven. The answer is perhaps yes it could be if your intentions are right and you're doing it with the right reasons compassion being compassionate towards these animals. It's something great and grand. Listen I'm not encouraging it. I'm actually just saying it's permissible that's all. I don't want people to give up medicine and say right we'll be coming vets now because if you take a look at the hadith it's the third time I'm mentioning it in this season of my presence in Cape Town of the woman who entered Jannah because she quenched the thirst of a dog what happened she wasn't even a vet a vet has spent a lot of time and when they go you know to an ailing dog that is perhaps dying and they for example administer some medication or whatever it be to that particular dog and the dog is doing well and he can bark properly you know you know what would happen سبحان اللہ you weren't expecting that where you're myself you know i was just telling uncle here that you know when we gotta when we gotta talk for youth and the university students i enjoyed because i can just be myself the minute you see old people with white gray hairs here you know you gotta i couldn't do what i just did but the point is you get happy because the dog is once again on his feet walking around wagging its tail whatever and it's gone so if jannah and paradise was achieved by if jannah and paradise was achieved by the quenching of the thirst of the dog what if something more dedicated is provided for that dog don't you think there's a greater chance of getting jannah common sense سبحان اللہ we ask الله to open our door so let's be hopeful let's try let's use our field to reach out to people let's become better and let's remember that sometimes because of our haughtiness and arrogance اللہ سبحانہ وی落ہ تعالیٰigue� knows that it's best for us not to get exactly what we want. And it brings me to one very interesting point. None of us, not a single one of us will have everything we want on earth every time. No, not one because we were not sent to the earth in order to have whatever we want. There's a special place known as paradise where that will come. That will come. If we had whatever we wanted on earth, what was the point of going to a place called heaven. Where Allah says you get whatever you want. You say well I've already got whatever I want. There was no point. So Allah says you coming here we will just test you because if you watch carefully Some of you will pass away early, some pass away a little bit later.  اِس برسی پرلی کو مہارے ہم stehen ہوتا ہے کہ یہ مرسی ہوتا ہے۔ لیکن ممق방 ہے کہ آپ نہیں کے لئے ہو جو آپ یہاں ہوتا ہے آپ ہیطفتران ہے لیکن آپ aquí جانتی ہے آپ مخمپی آپ اللہ میں یہاں ہیتا ہے۔ if he could give this to me then definitely he's got something far better in store for me if he's told me that i believe it really. so when i go there i will be so delighted stop fearing so much that جس کو خرق ہے ، آپ کو دیکھ رہا ہی ہے۔ آپ کو دیکھ سکتا ہی نہیں جاتھیں گے۔ آپ کو دیکھتے ہیں۔ اور ہمیں That کو صحتان صبران ہے۔ ہمیں نعییت کو صبران کے بارے کے لئے دیکھے ہیں۔ انہوں کی بارے پیانے کو و گرکی ہے۔ سبحان اللہ اللہ آپ کو کہتے ہیں کہ بھی مirusہ بیئیت بھی جانتے ہیں۔ مریخ اللہ богت ، تم عطا تیاراتی ہے۔ تو اسی رسالتے کی ممتگر قرآنی جانتے ہیں۔ اس میں نقص میں تکرے ہیں اور ایک ساتھ سکتے ہیں۔ جو بہت مرکہ جمیت میں مطلب کیکراریں اور خارج کے بارے میں ہے۔ بہت پر جمیہ نے کہا جو ہی بہت مجھے اوہ میں یہ سے بہت ہوں گا۔ نہیں ، مرکہ حدیث کہتے ہیں۔ رسلم کے بارے میں میں جائے ہیں کہیں کہہاں کسی کسی داتے ہیں ، کسی کسی کسی کیوں کی آئے بہت کیونے Napoleon بتانا ہے۔ مریخہ ہم دستن Mashallah آپ کو کسی کسی داتے ہیں۔ جو جو یپ اور محلمہوں کے ساتھ ب FX محلمہوں یہ ساتھ سکتا ہوں۔ اس کے دلان کے دوسر جetesتا ہے۔ اگر آپ کو جاتا رہے ہیں کہ ہم نے اندخوش خود میں پہلے دورتا ہے جس کے دلانتے ، بہت ہم اللہ کو سرے سے سوائے ہوا ہے۔ ان کے ساتھ اپنی خود ہوں کہ آپ جو آپ پر کسی بہت معلوم کر رہے ہیں۔ یا بہت حصہ packs آئے یا حضرت پہلے لا کیوں لوگوں سے محلوہ ہے۔ collectives because because you have these faces that are all screwed up literally in our styles were only and what happens you look at the other person you look away and you gone but you're a Muslim you're a Muslim I'll tell you I've seen non-Muslims do better than us were lucky I'm not joking morning sir they will tell you as they passing morning man good afternoon they will tell you hi how you doing fine you سبحان اللہ کو all these words are coming from whom not Muslims they greet you but you're a Muslim you can't greet a fellow Muslim you can't even greet others no one I'm just they I'm my own person dry cold that's it it's me do you know that by greeting someone you actually engaging in a huge act of worship you achieving closeness to your maker because you share the same creator why do we call ourselves brothers and sisters because firstly it's in humanity we have the same creator we have the same forefathers and thereafter if you still share the same faith you've got even more in common what we do today we concentrate on the differences that's all I've got 50 million issues in common five differences you my enemy that's it that's it this is not the teaching of Muhammad ﷺ he sees the opportunity to look into all his companions he used them for what they were keen in some of them could read and write he used to call them and tell them right down this revelation on some occasions some of them were experts for example in learning he told him come here I want you to learn this language in that language I want you to do this and that they learned they memorized some of them were experts for example in sewing or in carpentry he told him come we'd like a member and they made a member you know member the pulpit of Muhammad ﷺ it was made by a carpenter the experts they were all experts some of them were business people top businessmen and he acknowledged it and then he went out and said اتتا جیروا صدوق الامین و معن نبیین و صدیقین و شہدہ و صالحی you know a businessman who is honest and trustworthy will be resurrected with the messengers and the pious and the martyrs on the day of judgment wow and what were you doing business that's it I was a businessman but I was honest so from this we learn whatever your feeling is no problem study it develop in it you know the sky is not even the limit it's beyond the skies but be a good Muslim there must be a turning point in your life you have to turn you have to come close to Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ we ask Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ goodness and we ask Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ to open our doors اقولوا ما تسمعون و صل اللہ وسلم و بارکا علا لبین محمد و آخر جعوانا الحمدلہ اللہ رب اللہ
