What I want to share with you is where does guilt go?

My guilt is supposed to go first towards Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and there's a huge difference between the guilt

I have towards Allah and a guilt I have towards a person and let's understand that a little bit

I'll give you practical realistic examples like for instance, we have the case of you know Yaqob alaihi salam

in the Quran right so his sons messed up pretty bad and they hurt their father for many many years

they abused him, they called him insane, they taught their children to call him insane, they taught their wives to call him insane

in fact they weren't even home, they were with Yusuf alaihi salam and when Yaqob alaihi salam heard the scent or smelled the scent of Yusuf's shirt

you know that story right, he wasn't home alone, he was with his daughter-in-laws and his grandchildren

because the sons were not home, they were elsewhere and he said Lola Antofanidun

he said in Nila Ajidur iha Yusuf Lola Antofanid

he said I can smell the scent of Yusuf despite the fact that you people, who's the you people

that's his daughter-in-laws and his grandchildren, you people think that I'm insane

where did they learn to call him insane from his own sons

and these are the sons that know that their father is in fact a prophet, they know that

they actually know that, they know that he's the son of his haqq who is the son of Ibrahim alaihi salam

alaihi salam so they know all of that and yet they committed these horrible crimes inside of the family

it's one thing that you owe the best to your father because he's your father on top of that he's a prophet too

so the level to which they messed up cannot be undermined, there's a pretty serious degree of crime here

but at the end of it all, at the end of it all, the Quran seems to indicate that they felt bad about what they did

when they were finally confronted, when they were finally humbled, they feel bad about what they've been doing

and they come towards their dad and they say that you should, you know, please make a stick for us
