Smilla hamdulillah are salat wa salam ala Rasulillah well Ali he
was after he or manual Allah, Allah Allah Baraka, few shahada
Siyam.
The Holy Prophet says sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
lo candelilla insert any word in the hub, that Amanda and your
Cornella Hallward en la em let Wolfer who elect Robert.
He says sallallahu alayhi wa sallam if a man were to have a
whole valley full of gold, he would want to have a second valley
full of gold. But at the end, only dust will fill his mouth.
Another of our deep problems as human beings is this humble Mal is
love of wealth.
It's no coincidence that some of the very first verses of the Holy
Quran to be revealed. We're condemnations of this human sleepy
acquisition of stuff, a futile exercise because the more we have,
the more we tend to want
and how Kamata khairthal
rivalry in worldly increase has distracted you. There's three
important lessons in those two words.
Not just the problematic nature of wanting worldly worldly increase,
but the fact that we compete with each other.
This guy's got a billion I want to have 2 billion or I can't sleep
well. And then the fact that l How come it distracts you?
What does ultimo macabre until you can't go to the graves. All of
these people who are at the very last minute of their life as still
checking the footsy
and the Dow Jones just to see what's happening to their fortune.
They can't see the dark mouth of death yawning in front of them
waiting to swallow them whole. But this is how we are.
But at the end, only dust will fill our mouths.
Holy Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
This is a Hadith.
Good see 11 ADAM
Oh son of man Halochem in Melaka illa ma occulta for F neat.
Hola Vista for ablate outer. So Dr. B, for Unlight.
That son of Adam do you own any of your wealth except for something
which you end up eating and you
pass it on? Pass it away, it goes through you is no longer yours,
you destroy it. Or you wear it and you wear it out?
All you give it in sadaqa and make it eternal?
This is the irony. We think, ah, if I give 10 pounds to the
Cambridge Muslim College, I'll be 10 pounds poorer? Nope. Actually,
you're poorer if you hold on to it, because it's not going to go
with you into the grave. But the esodoc art the investments deposit
in the eternal bank.
This Tiara townland taboo, this transaction, which never
diminishes this hisab. This account, which is the account of
the akhira the believer knows this. And with the expression of
pain, perhaps he produces a cat when he can, as much as he can,
and his sadaqa and his Lilla. And he's a cattle fitter, and these
things but there's an element of pain, which is foolish. Because
he's actually liable to lose these things, he may not even enjoy them
himself. If he walks around this life with all of these coins,
jingling in his pocket, what should he do? Put them in the
bank.
But not the Bank of this corporation or that corporation
that may or may not in the current reckless world of casino
capitalism and financial freefall go on.
But instead, the only bank which wants the deposit has been made
with a Bismillah that will keep it for eternity and will yield
dividends eternally.
That's intelligence. That's wisdom.
But unfortunately, even though ours is a world of overflowing
wealth, is the forgotten man gigantic cornucopias of money and
money breeding money thanks to the river system river upon river
Upon rubber and derivatives and futures and all of these very
strange instruments which human ingenuity concoct in order to
conjure money out of money that you haven't even borrowed yet,
it's a very strange, magical world, so much money, and yet, so
much poverty.
So many rich people, so many poor people, but that is deductive the
polarization of wealth between rich and poor gets greater and
greater and greater. And we know that this brings the Divine anger
because it's an injustice.
And having 2 billion doesn't feel very different in practice to
having 1 billion or even 1 million for most purposes.
But for the poor, having $200 is very different to having $100. But
still, they get poorer, and the rich get richer, and the world is
kind of shaking as a result is one of the major imbalances of our
time. And so this condemnation of how como to khairthal was from the
very beginning of Revelation, but is absolutely appropriate to our
time now and Islam as the religion that says, give and give and give.
There's a cat and a sadhaka are the nerve filler obligations and
optional forms of giving. Again, and again, a child is born there's
the RP occur,
somebody dies, there is the inheritance which can't go to just
one person who gets distributed out again particularly to the
young This is our system,
give give give,
we are a people who are Autocentre been given sadaqa is related to
sit which is a word which means sincerity, truthfulness being
real. This is the nature of the Holy Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, Allah the kana Edward in this, who is the most generous of
people. Well, Ken Edward, Ma, Cornel fear Ramadan. And was it
his Most Generous in the month of Ramadan? Well, the Rasul Allah He
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Edward will bill hiree Minari Hale mo
Salah, the Holy Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was more generous
and swift in giving, doing good than the wind let loose. In other
words, it's there's no he said there's no calculation he just
gives and gives and gives because he's not afraid of poverty.
So that's the moral aspect but there's also the human aspect and
one of the most challenging aspects of prophecy
is that the Holy Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam prayed
to be with the Moroccan Moroccan who had really poor, the
destitute, those who have nothing. Your alot age, I'll go to Allah,
Mohammed and Keifa. He used to pray, make the food for the family
of Muhammad enough for
today.
That would panic us. We think, oh, maybe we'll run out in three
months time. I've got a cushion.
The bank says this. I've got these financial projections. But
tomorrow, that's inconceivable.
And he used to pray. Washington, leafy zoom routine Messiah keen.
resurrect me resurrect me in the company of the destitute.
Not the super rich, not the sleek Hollywood actors and the so called
elites who are role models and who everybody wants to gossip about.
But the poor, the asylum seekers, the refugees, the homeless people
sleeping rough, the broken hearted
as allies, and then one can theoretically go home with the
broken hearted, the Holy Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam wished
to be resurrected with those people.
And this is challenging, because we like to have those coins
jingling in our pocket.
As a story that says that when the first gold and silver coin were
minted,
created, when somebody first had this idea, Iblees Allah, Allah,
Allah He Lana raised them and put them to his eyes and kissed them,
and said, Men are hubback Wolmer.
For Hua Abdi hucog. Whoever loves you, is in reality, my slave, my
servant.
So the wealth that the believer has, which can be legitimate,
hello wealth. Young did come be unwell in weapony. And God blesses
you with wealth and children it can be a blessing
has to be on the basis of the lack of the heart attachment to those
things. It's for sadaqa it's for supporting the family. It's for
supporting neighbors. It's for giving Iftar to people who can't
afford it. It's for hospitality and
This is the Edward Albee hiree mineral reef in mo salah, which is
the quality of the Holy Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam more
generous in giving what is good, then the winds let loose such a
beautiful kind of desert image just free, unrestrained giving,
why because there is peace in the heart, and there is no cashier to
him lock, fear of poverty
and extraordinary state.
So
the coins that are in our pockets, the numbers that
are in our bank balances
are to be accounted for.
It said that you take them out only when you have taken them out
of their source fee Hilda, what in Firpo, her for hockey, you take
them in a way that is halal. And you dispense with them again in
the way that represents what is the wet the rights of human
beings. In other words, they are part of our service.
So this month, this time when there is less to spend our
unnecessary wealth on when we have to walk past cafes and so forth,
even if they were open. And we can't do anything about it. And at
the end of the day, perhaps there's more coins jangling in our
pockets than there were before. This is the month of giving.
This is the month of almost solidarity. This is the month of
remembering neighbors, of thinking of family members who we haven't
checked up on for a long time. This is the time of ciliata
Raheem, this is the time of connecting family ties for
toquilla. Lolita sir alula be he will or ham. They are God
concerning whom you question each other and the ties of kinship,
important in our religion.
How are the old doing particularly at present, make sure you know,
make sure they feel attended to that they feel noticed that
somebody cares because this the age of wealth has become the age
of loneliness as well. But as is not the ALMA of loneliness, as the
OMA of solidarity or mutton wider, a single ummah. And we are to be
an exemplary community to show how human beings can and should be
together, in solidarity, in cooperation, in sharing, not in
hoarding, but in sharing in giving, we're to be open handed
people.
So may Allah subhanaw taala in this blessed month,
when we have fewer worldly temptations to distract us, and
when perhaps we are thinking of higher things, and we have tasted
in worship and in the Quran, something that is sweeter and
truer and more nourishing to our hearts than any physical pleasure
or experience of status could ever be. When we have been shown an
alternative, reminded of what we truly are and of our homeland, to
which we are called. May He make us people of generosity of people
who are soft hearted towards the poor, people who do not just pay
lip service to the Sunnah, but actually walk in the footsteps of
the chosen one son Allahu alayhi wa sallam, by loving the poor, by
supporting the poor by seeking them out. And by as it were
putting our money where our mouths might be, by actually being people
of generosity of Jude in his best month. So may Allah subhanaw taala
open our hearts to this and grant us the the blessings of Ramadan in
its blessing good nature for the poor, as people of giving people
who are not misers people who are open hearted and open handed, and
example to an increasingly lonely and selfish and self centered age
