Those who believe and believe in their hearts, they will remember God, they will remember God, they will remember the hearts.

Peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah, and his blessings.

In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Merciful, the Praise be to Allah, the Salat, and the Peace of Allah, the Most Merciful, and His Blessings.

My brothers and sisters, sometimes people are imprisoned, wrongly.

Sometimes the law is guilty of finding the innocent guilty and jails them, but because there was evidence in that regard, or whatever it may have been in some places, it could have even been corruption.

Not everyone in prison is guilty of a crime.

Remember this. Perhaps the majority might be, or a large number maybe, but there will be innocent people there.

Even those who are in the prisons, at times we tend to forget that the idea is to correct them, to be able to come out and reintegrate into society and community in a more constructive way.

That's the reason why we imprison people who are criminals.

So my brothers and sisters, if you were to look at the story of the Prophet Yusuf Ali, his Salan, he actually prayed to be imprisoned wrongly.

Rather than be forced to transgress against Allah, on one hand he could have just committed the act of immorality and come out free.

That might have led one after the other to whatever it may have led, it didn't happen so we don't know.

But he chose to ask Allah, oh Allah, I'd love to be jailed rather than to go against you. Look at that.

So Allah decided Subhanahu At-Ala to grant him the prayer. He was jailed. He was falsely accused. He was found guilty of a crime he never committed.

That's why I started the way I did. And he was jailed, but he was so content he sees the opportunity of him being in prison, doing things that were so constructive.

If you are incarcerated or if you know of someone who is there, remember my brothers and sisters use the time wisely.

You know what prays Allah, get closer to Allah, perhaps educate yourself, speak to the others, talk about something.

If you're alone at least prays Allah, get closer to Allah, do something constructive, your time cannot be wasted.

And that's for depression and sadness. There is no room for it in that particular circumstance.

Because if you were to think about how long I'm going to be jailed for and you know what, I was so innocent and this, the law has found me guilty of something I haven't even done.

And if you keep on thinking on those lines, perhaps you may lose your contentment. But if you know I believe in the Almighty, I've done nothing wrong.
