Abdul Wahab Saleem – Real Men Buy Real Estate

			Men by property period, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, one of the first things he did when
he got to Medina is he acquired property, the prophet had a large family. So he had to ensure that
all of those family members have a place to live in case something happens to him. So Allah when he
said limb, so literally one of the first things that he did when he got to Medina is he got homes
and houses together for his wives. And so everybody had real estate in case something happens to
him, they all have a place to live. And they did when the prophet SAW Selim passed away sallallahu
alayhi wasallam. And similarly, when he passed away, other than the property that he left behind,
		

			for his own family members as well, meaning the houses for each one of his wives, he actually had
other property as well. And that's why some people when they say the Prophet died poor, it's not
completely accurate, because the Prophet also had property, he may not have had a lot of, well,
basically nothing when it comes to liquid assets, but he had a lot of hard assets, meaning property,
so buy property. And the Prophet gave us a beautiful story of two people, actually, there's three
men in here. And you'll see how real men act and how they behave and what they do. So the first man,
he buys property from another man. And when he buys a property inside of the property, he finds a
		

			jar full of gold. So he goes to the original owner of the property. And he says, Look, I found a jar
full of gold in this property. And it's not mine, it's yours, I only bought the property, I didn't
buy the gold with it. The second man, he also behaves like a man, the first one is very, very
dignified and honorable. And he is very, very honest as well. All of these things are great
qualities. And they're the qualities that a real man should have. The second man, he's not sure
whether he should be taking this particular you know, jar of gold back, because at the end of the
day, he sold the property. And normally whenever you sell something like for instance, a car,
		

			whatever is inside of the car goes along with the car. So he says, You know what, I sold you the
property and everything that came with the property, so the gold is also yours. But they get into a
dispute and they say, You know what? Your gold, the other one says your gold. Now I know that in our
time, some men if they buy a property, and they find gold in it, each one of them will be yelling,
my gold, my gold, my gold. But that is not manliness, that's not manhood. That's not how are real
man, how an honest man behaves. So the they went to a third man. And he said, You know what? We're
being the way we are. But we need a third man now even wiser than the both of us, for him to give us
		

			a solution. And this man, literally, I would say, had the wisdom of Solomon. And he ended up giving
them a very, very good decision, a very, very good conclusion and a resolution. So he said, Guys, Do
you have kids? Each one said, Yeah, one of them said, I have a girl. And the other one said, I have
a boy. So he said, Well, the solution is, you take the girl and you take the boy and you marry them
off to each other, and you take all of this gold, and you gift it to them. So they spend it this
way, the money will be spent on the offspring of each of you. And no one needs to be mad, and no one
needs to be sad, and everybody goes home glad. So that's exactly what happened. And this was the
		

			wise solution of this wise man. And you have three men over here, all of them behaving like real
men. First of all, there's a property deal, which is something that I told you that is encouraged
because the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam had real estate, and the prophets has a limb left
behind real estate. And real estate is something that gives you empowerment, because in case
something happens to you and you die your family behind you, who you are the primary responsible of,
they've got something to live on. You don't want them to go on streets at the end of the day. Right.
And the second thing is that they're all being honest in the deal as well. I mean, at the end of the
		

			day, I think that one of the places where a lot of men in our times don't do it right is when they
get into property deals. Everyone is trying to cut off the other person hacked people steal
properties nowadays, you know, forging documents and stealing people's properties. This is something
that is a global phenomenon. Now. It happens that I've spoken to a lawyer, even here in Canada, and
he's told me that this actually takes place. Even in Canada, we think of third world countries, when
we think about property theft. But even here in Canada, it happens, although rarely, were forged
documents and you have a theft of property. So the point here is that these people are not only just
		

			not stealing property, they're buying and purchasing, they're even considerate of what's inside of
the property and returning it back to who they deem to be the appropriate owner. And then they go to
a third man who's got wisdom Mashallah subotica line, he's able to give them a resolution. And
that's a real man. I asked Allah subhanaw taala to grant us the trophy, to practice to country, by
property, be honest, be loyal, have dignity, have integrity, or said I'm juanico Mohamed Salah
