has the known
today, we want to speak about a very
interesting individual from the sahaba.
Abdurrahman, if now for the Hola, Juan. So this, this is our last in
the lectures regarding the eyeshadow Bashara.
So to understand who he is, every community, wherever you go, you're
going to have a various different range of people who live in that
area. Wherever you go, you're going to have the people who are
wealthy and you're going to have some people who are poor, you're
going to have people who are in between, you're going to have
people who are stronger in some senses, and you're going to have
others who are weaker, you're going to have some people who show
leadership skills, there'll be other people who are just happy to
follow. So you have all of these different types of people. The
benefit is that if all of these people, whoever it is, if they can
learn more about Allah subhanahu wa taala and what Allah wants from
us in this world, then how whoever you are from the above category of
people that I just mentioned,
it will increase you and improve you. So if you're wealthy, and you
learn about the deen and what's required, then the benefit of that
is it will
allow us to understand that we must be grateful to Allah that
this wealth comes from Allah and to be grateful to Allah subhanho
wa Taala and stop us from becoming arrogant because of it. If a
person is poor and is needy, and they learn about the deen, they
learn about Allah and His Messenger SallAllahu. And what's
required for us purpose in this world, then the benefit for them
is that poverty will no longer make them despondent and hopeless,
they will be able to deal with it, Allah will give them the patience
to be able to understand so that's the benefit for them. Then you
have the poor and then you have the weak and you have other people
if a person is sick, for example, Allah will give him supper, when
he understands that everything is from Allah subhanaw taala. If a
person is in health, then he'll understand that he needs to use
his health in the path of Allah and make it valuable and so on and
so forth. If a person is honored in a position of strength, then
they will understand that they should not oppress people. And if
somebody is oppressed, then they have to understand that Allah
subhanaw taala is for them. So regardless of who you are,
whatever you are,
the best of it is that if we can become associated with Allah
subhanho wa Taala then that increases whoever we are in
whatever situation and whoever is connected to Allah then Allah
homophone it him Wallah whom he has known because when you're
connected with Allah, you become Olia Allah, and Allah says Allah
in earlier Allah, Allah, how often are they him what or whom he has
an own those who are the friends of Allah subhanaw taala there is
no fear upon them and they will never grieve. It doesn't say
they're going to be wealthy, or that they're going to be poor.
That's just the nature of this world, but they will know how to
deal with it and they will never be sorrow. They will never be
anguish for them, they will be able to deal with the matter. Now,
let us get on to this last of the Ashura MOBA Shah Abdul Rahman
Ignatieff his full name as I like to start with Abdul Rahman ignore.
Ignore abdiel Hurry.
Up deep lil Hadith ignorance, ignorance Zahara. IGNOU Killa bib
number Raso from Caleb Nomura. He joins with the family of the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, so IGNOU kala we know
Ribnica even Lulu IGNOU ha. And it carries on until Adnan al Qureshi.
His name injure heavy his original name that probably his parents
gave him was actually was actually Abdullah armor,
the servant of armor, the slave of armor,
or Abdul cada the slave of the Kaaba, they used to have these
name Abdul kava the slave of the Kaaba. So the Prophet sallallahu
Sallam when he became Muslim, the Prophet sallallahu Sallam called
him Abdul Rahman you are Abdul Rahman, the servant of the Most
Merciful it's a wonderful name, servant of the Most Merciful.
I'm not saying that just because it's my name. It is a really
wonderful name.
He was born 10 years after he was born 10 years after the year of
the elephant's, which basically makes him how many years older
than the Prophet sallallahu Sallam
10 years, right so it makes him 10 years younger than the Prophet
salallahu Alaihe Salam because he's born 10 years later. So
Abdurrahman mouth as I mentioned, he's one of the actual Mr. Bashara
granted the glad glad tidings of paradise. He is also one of the
six committee members that Amara, the Allah when he was when he had
been stabbed and he was going to die he made a committee of six
people instead these pick six people they need to decide among
them who's going to be the next Khalif after me and the reason he
made it for them six is he said that these are the leftover six
actual Mr. Bashara. There was actually one more but he mentioned
only six faces. These are the people with the professor Olson
was happy with before he passed away. So Abdurrahman if the Alpha
didn't was one of them, along with Earthman, and it Rhodiola one and
the others.
How did he become Muslim? And you see, this is the most amazing
thing, as we've actually seen with several of the ashrama Bashara,
his Islam, the responsibility of that, or the you can say, the
prophet of all of that goes to Abu Bakr Siddiq, or the Allah one. See
what's very interesting about obika Siddiqa the Allah one is
that he pretty much started giving inviting people to the way after
he after he became a Muslim and the Prophet sallallahu is one of
the first to become Muslim. And he started to bring in a lot of other
people. The reason why he was able to bring in some very good people
is because a lot of good people used to come to him because of his
temperament because of his message, because of the way he was
his behavior. What can original and matla fondly call me he was
basically a person who people would feel comfortable with people
who would have some familiarity like it's nice going to him to sit
with him to get some guidance from Him, He was attached, he was a
worker there and he was kind of a leadership position was very soft
hearted, very welcoming, very accommodating. And he was a
business person so people used to come to Him they would like to sit
with him speak to him and he had a lot of decent friends like that a
person you want to go and sit with. So mashallah because of the
people trusted him so when he said look, this is a great thing this
Islam is a great thing. They it was much easier for them to accept
that because there was no barriers it was every they trusted him so
much already. So the people that became Muslim at his hands you
will recognize him by No zubaid If not our brother Jana who is also a
shadow MOBA. He's also one of the 10 with mine did not have fun I
mean, you know, he's obviously the Tala ignore obey the law. We spoke
about him last time. So I didn't know it'd be what costs so these
are all ashram over Shara and abdul-malik now. So that is Zubayr
Rathmann tollhouse Sadiq Nabi Waqas, Abdullah Marieb. Now, five
of the Ashura MOBA genre, and he's he's six. So just the other four
left's amazing. And he basically that's his southern Nigeria, you
make somebody moves in, you bring somebody on the good path, you
teach them one good thing, it's all your reward for the for as
long as they continue, if they teach somebody else, and those
people teach somebody else, which hopefully is going to carry on,
you keep reaping the rewards of that. Essentially, these people
would if they, if they had not become Muslim, they would have
just stayed on the sides, nobody would have known them. The reason
we know them right now after 1400 years, is because they were
brought by Abu Bakr Siddiq or the Allah Juan from the periphery from
the side into the center. And that's how they became elevated.
How are we going to be elevated
And subhanAllah today they are prayed for by 1000s on the members
every week, when people make dua for the Sahaba and especially the
actual Mr. Bashara they prayed for every week, what an acceptance
that they had.
abdur-rahim Now for the Allah one was also among the first Maharaja
team, one of the first integrators. In fact, he's got
both migrations, he's got both hedgerows one. He first went to
habitat for Abby, Samia the first Muslims to have Abyssinia with
Amanda the other one as well. And then when he came back, and then
after that, he went to Madina Munawwara so he is one of those
and
Adorama now for the Allah one since he became Muslim with Abu
Bakr Siddiq are the Allah on this was actually before they started
holding meetings right in the beginning in the house of Donald
EarthCam. Remember, they used to hold a meeting and that was the
meeting place. So even before that was an Abdurrahman now for the
alarm became Muslim. And
mashallah, he got what he did.
The therapy of the Prophet salallahu Salam now is going to
show in his life when we hear about his life and you're going to
be Wow, how can he do something like this? All of that is the
tarbiyah and the nurturing of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam. So when he migrated to Madina, Munawwara as you know,
whoever migrated the province of Assam made them a brother with
somebody, join them up, link them up, and generally the province
also would link them up with similar type of people. Similar
That kind of status similar kind of mindset that I mean it's best
to get people like that. So the person that Abdul Rahman and
Alfredo was joined with in or made a brother with by the Prophet
salallahu Alaihe Salam Madina, Munawwara was named was sad ignore
Rabbir
and Sadiq. Noorani is not so well known as you know, but he was the
wealthiest of the Ansari.
Abdul Rahman now for them was a businessman. When he came to MCC
from Makkah, and Madina, Munawwara he came empty handed. He'd have
to, he left everything. So the Prophet salallahu Salam joins him
up with the wealthiest man in Madina, Munawwara whose name is
Amber ignorable,
Amber ignore Robbie is such a wealthy man. But along with being
such a wealthy man, he's also a very generous person, he says, and
it wasn't just him who did this many did this. He says, all my
wealth that I've got, I give you have
Imagine if your own brother King, right? If you've people who are
here, who have come from other countries, imagine your brother
came from Pakistan or Egypt or Sudan or wherever they, you know,
wherever people are from, and they just starting off and mashallah
you've got whatever you've got, I mean, he had a lot. You know, even
if you've got a small amount, I'll give you half of what I've got
this half of your shop is yours. There's some people who've done
that, or they've maybe not given them, they've got them into the
business, help them set up, but imagine giving it over.
We can't even do that with our own brothers. What kind of Islam must
these people have had to give it to somebody a stranger that they
never met before? No relative of this, and it's a very tribal time
as well.
And then he says, I've also have two wives. If you want, I can
divorce one. Right? To make it easy. And when she goes to aid and
everything, you know, I can it just basically showing that I'm
willing to give you whatever the Prophet sallallahu has told us to
do this colors, you know, we must do this.
Subhanallah
Abdul Rouhani now for the Allahu Anhu said BarakAllahu li Kaffee
Aliko Malik, may Allah bless you in your wealth, I mean, your
family. Just do Looney at a soup just tell me what the market is.
Is Steve enough confidence in Allah trust in Allah and not
wanting somebody else's wealth is it just telling me where the
market is? That same day, the first day he went to the market,
he came back in the evening with some cheese to contribute to the
household, though he already made a purchase at the end. Now the way
he made his money And subhanAllah we can really learn from this and
I'm trying to use this in my own ventures. The way to do it today
is basically gone get a big loan, and then you know, pump a lot of
money and expect not to get profit five years and make sure you have
a lot of money coming in and then if it works, it works if it not
everybody, everybody's money goes on drain, you say you're bankrupt
and has finished. What else are you gonna do? But the way to do
business is start small. Start small and grow like that and give
a lot of sadaqa This is his secret, literally. I'm telling
you, and it works. The amount of Baraka Allah will give you is it'd
be mind boggling, but it needs trust in Allah. That's the
difficulty I mean, how do I have some kind of trust in Allah that I
can do this? give sadaqa be trying. How can I do I don't have
much money. How can I give southern
this is what I've done. I've known him now for the alarm didn't he
went to the market and he purchased the camel on credit. Now
you can do that you can buy things on credit. Right? He purchased the
camel from somebody on credit. I'll pay you later.
The camel came with a rope around his neck. He took the rope off and
he went and sold the camel for the same price. You see his profit is
the rope. He did that was quick, quick turning a turnover profit.
By the end he had numerous ropes. In those days ropes and everything
cost money. It's now we've got disposables. You know, I've 30
years ago, those who are older folk over 40 and so on, they will
know that years ago, everything used to be preserved. But now
we're living disposables, and it's becoming unsustainable. They're
trying to go back to refill. That's why there was a Glastonbury
that just took place the music festival they had no plastic
bottles this time they said everybody must refill which is a
good idea for us just to think about in Ramadan as well because
we're just wasting landfill space or with all of this plastic and
things. So anyway, in that day everything was everything was Imam
I didn't know humble used to send back. They used to they used to
sell butter or whatever in folded up in a leaf. That was their
paper. Right They packaging. You would even send that back off and
saying that I bought the butter from you're not the leaf. That was
the way things used to happen. Right.
So
he got enough ropes together eventually to buy a camera.
And then he started profiting interior huge amount of cameras.
Start slowly
Buy one phone, sell it, buy two get to three, you know, like that
and you start making it big. I've seen so many people like that.
Once he appeared with Zafran on his, there was a bit of Zofran
saffron on his clothing. So the promise I lost him said, What is
all that like because men didn't put saffron on their clothing. So
where are you getting these touches of saffron? He wasn't
known to be married. So what's this? Is that I've just married a
woman. What did you give her? He said, I gave her the
seed size of gold. That was my mother to her. So the Verizon
said, okay, you know what? Gone feeder walima go make sure you
give a Lima if even one goat he knew he could probably do it.
That's why you can tell somebody who's enterprising.
Now, now understand that he slowly slowly gets a lot of wealth,
right? hard earned wealth, not easier. This was an inheritance
while this is harder and wealth.
During the during the book, The expedition of the book, he had
8000 and the rocks also wanted donations. So he came with four
half of his wealth. He said I had eight. I'm giving you four and the
other form leaving for my family.
The Prophet sallallahu sallam said
BarakAllahu like a female I'm sect we're female athletes. May Allah
bless you in what you've withheld for yourself, and also what you've
given he gave him $1 for both.
Allah reveals in the Quran about him and Earth man with the Allah
because they were both very wealthy as was debated on our arm
and Tahara. The and they were all for millionaires from the ashram.
Oh, Bashara. So you got four millionaires in national militia.
And Talia is actually called Fayyad, he's actually called very,
very generous, right. And automatically, you know his story
already. Right. So about Earthman and
Abdurrahman him now for the Allah one.
Allah subhanho wa Taala in the Quran, Allah Xena UniFi Hakuna
Amara whom visa vie de la those who spent in the path of Allah
through Mala used to be Oh Nama and Saku Memnon wala other then
once they've spent they don't follow it up with reminding people
hey, I spent on you remember I gave you this I helped you out, or
any other kind of harmful discussion or behavior with that
Lahoma Jerome and Robin they're going to have their reward by
Allah. The reward is with Allah what a whole finale him follow him
yeah has an own. Again, they have no fear either. They've got
nothing to worry about. In fact, on many occasion, the Prophet saw
some said to Earth man, and after he donated, you can now do what
you want, nothing can harm you now, he knew he was not going to
do anything crazy. They basically said to him, you've done such a
deed that after this, you can do whatever you want. Nothing is
gonna happen to you can't be negatively impacted.
He then gave 40,000 in the path of Allah, which so basically, once he
sold a piece of land for 40,000 dinars, not their hands, dinars.
Just to give you an idea, 20 dinars today is approximately 2000
pounds 20 That's the nisab of gold. 20 dinars is 2000 pounds.
What amount is this that he sold the land for 40,000 dinars?
That's crazy. You can't even count that right. He then split it into
three.
One portion he gave to his family members, the extended tribe of the
bundles. Zuora
1/3, this was after the person passed away.
He gave to the wives of the Prophet Salla lorrison. Remember,
they hadn't they had no other in they had no not much. They used to
give a lot in the path of Allah and the protocols and passed away.
And Abdul Rahman and Alfred had actually been
advised or requested by the province ask them to look after
these waves. He knew that he would do it, he gave them 1/3 of this.
And the other third for the for the poor people.
Nothing for himself is just extra business. So I'll just split it
up.
When I insurers received Rhodiola one who received her share,
somebody came and gave her some money, this huge amount of money.
And he said, Who is this from? said oh, this is from Abdul Rahman
if now
are the Allah who answers he said yes, the Prophet sallallahu Sallam
has said that after me only the patient ones will treat you with
compassion.
So this is obviously a praise for Abdullah my mouth, may Allah then
she makes the doll for him that may Allah give ignore off to drink
from the salsa bill of paradise.
Inshallah we can also get these doors today if we help people
because when you help people that eventually there's a door that
comes out if you've really helped them in the right way.
After that he received even more blessing from Allah, he actually
says that he says I can give this much in the morning or in the
evening, I'll receive this much. It's like he knew the deal with
Allah. That's how much trustee. So he said that he got, he gave 500
horses to the warriors in a battle. One horse is very
expensive 500 Horses crazy amounts.
Then the next time he gave 1500 Horses
he starts with a string, literally in Madina Munawwara and he
increases it with giving sadaqa
for that you need a lot of token, you see when he was about to pass
away.
He, before he bought this wasn't to be done after he passed away,
it's easier to say after I pass away then give this much in the up
to 1/3 in the path of Allah right? Because you know, it's not going
to be yours anyway, and I'm leaving enough for my family. So
it's okay. But to give it before you pass away, which means you're
risking you might stay alive. You see what I'm saying? So a lot of
people don't give that much before they they make Osia Some people
give us well.
He basically said that give 50,000 dinars in the path of Allah. I
told you how much 20 dinars because it's 50,000 dinars in the
path of Allah.
And then he also said that's in the path of Allah. Then he said
this other huge amount, 400 dinars. That's a sum you can
probably work out 400 dinars for everybody who's left of those who
had taken part in the Battle of Buddha,
the Sahaba those who had been taken but the 313 15 however many
there were those who are left by this time, right. Those who are
left every one of them should be given 400 dinars
of mana. The Jana was very wealthy. He didn't need the money.
But when that money was split up, and his share came to him, he took
it.
And somebody said to him, that why are you taking this you got enough
money already? Why do you need to take it? He says in the mother
Abdurahman hello in the mother Abdurrahman. Halonen, soften the
wealth of Abdurrahman is pure. And it's, it's lawful and pure. We're
in torment, I mean, who Alfia turn robotic and to eat from it gives
you wellbeing, it's healthy for you.
Obviously to give before your death is superior to saying that
give it after my death because you know this, there's more trust in
that. This actually totaled about 150,000 dinars to the battery in
only 150,000. Imagine how much he had.
Imagine he had what he had.
If only Bill Gates was a Muslim,
he's given a huge amount as well.
And if only other Muslims can do what he does, mashallah, we do
have, but but the thing is, don't wait to become like this, then
I'll give Oh, you're going to think oh, he's got so much he can
give. It's like water for him. He started earlier.
He started earlier. That's how you become like this. It's like, I
should become wealthy first, then I'll give, but if you give you
become wealthy, but so 100 people don't think that way that's too
difficult to given, then I'll become wealthy. I'm going to
become wealthy then I'll give I mean, never become wealthy to give
Subhanallah
Imam Abu Hanifah Rahmatullah was the same. He used to specially
focus on the amount of the city and used to give embarrassing
amounts to them. You know, like, you go and you take two boxes of
chocolate or mutate to somebody's house. That's understandable.
Okay, you bring me two three boxes is understand imagine if you go
with five bags of shopping to somebody's house, they're going to
be embarrassed, like what's wrong with you like why you bring me so
much? He used to give that kind of money to people.
Anyway, when Abdurrahman IDNA have died.
His wealth was an uncountable use huge amount. Every he had three
wives when he passed away.
When he married one of his wives, he gave it like some crazy amount.
He had three wives and he passed away. How many? How much does a
wife get from the husband's inheritance? If they've got
children? They get one eight. If they've got children, if they
don't have children, and they get then they get one quarter, right?
So they get one eight.
For the Honda for
following the Thurman three months, it's eight.
If you've got three wives, they're gonna have to share the eight.
They don't each get one eight they have to share.
So you have three wives every
Every one of those three just in cash alone forget other assets in
cash alone. They received 80,000 dinars each. What kind of money
that you have?
You know, can you imagine the money if one eight is equal to 80
times 80,000 times three
240,000 dinars was one eight of just the cash. Forget everything
else.
Aside from the camels, the goats, the horses and all that other
estate, they got that as well.
That's a lot of money, man.
You guys are in the wrong business.
You know, exactly. We're in the wrong business. This is the
business you need to be in South Africa.
And doesn't mean you have to give all of your money away you give.
Believe me, this really works. It doesn't matter how much you make a
week or month. If you have a direct debit setup, right, every
month, you're giving five pawns in the path of Allah 30 pounds 50
Whatever is your amount. What is your level? five pound here, five
pound here. 5.0 my welfare five pound to HMC five pound to the
masjid five pound to 10 pound to white thread Institute. Right?
Hint, hint, right?
Automatically it's going it's purifying your wealth. And Allah
subhanaw taala is going to multiply. It's the best side
business that you can do better than your Uber and everything
else. Do your main business, the side business or the car. That's
what it was. So the car side business, the best side business.
And again, five pound just go and set it up tonight. 10 pounds, set
it up to 850 pounds, whatever it is that it's you can comfortably
do just go and set it up tonight if you don't have it already. If
you have it Al Hamdulillah then you know the benefits. That's why
you have people like from the Prophet sallallahu some storbie of
these people. He's still our Prophet, right. Rothman Zubayr
Abdul Rahman they did business they gave sadaqa. Then you have
the likes of Abu Zubaydah ignore Jarrah Salman al Farsi, who didn't
have so much money but they were patient. And they all go to Jana
Abdul Rahman, even offered the not so much Tawakkol in Allah, Allah
had given him so much Baraka that he used to say low low, refer to a
hedge or run low budget to attack the WHO THE Herban if I am to
basically pick up a stone I can find gold underneath it. Basically
everything I touch turns to gold, any business I do, because ALLAH
given that much Barak, one of the reports about him say that he was
obviously a Tarja a business person. And he when he died, he
left behind 1000 camels 300,000 sheep, no 3000 Sheep 3000 Sheep,
1000 camels, 1000 camels and how much that is? One camel minimum
1000 pounds. So 1000 camels, how much is that?
Right? Then 3000 Sheep 100 pound each say
minimum, you know, and 100 horses that used to graze around in the
buggy and enduro, which is just outside Madina Munawwara on the
border, that's where he used to do, that's where he used to have
some crops, some some farm farmland, and 20 camels used to
feed water irrigate that place for him or take water for him. And
that is where he used to get his yearly income from for his family.
From that from that farming.
On one occasion, after the prophets, Allah somebody passed
away, there was a huge noise commotion heard, it's like an army
had just come in essentially such you know, because the roads were
not paved. So it was all dirt sand. So essentially, you could
see that in the distance all of this dust has gone up, which means
that there's a huge amount of movement there, which is causing
this to happen. So I showed her the online she's in her house in
the center and she's like what's going on like what's happened? So
what happened is that this was his business caravan entirely his his
huge business caravan that had just come back from Medina from
Sham from business, doing business with all of the goods later on
after it's sold and purchased new goods.
So he said Yeah, Omar minion somebody said, this is Adorama
live now for the Allahu Anhu is caravan trade caravan just coming
back. It's just come back from Sham basically Omar minion or the
Allahu Anhu said Halophila tune such a caravan which causes so
much commotion like how big must it be? Yes, when will mean it is
consisting of seven hundreds of animals or mounts to carry the
products 700 like 700 Vans 700 Vans? Well maybe not I mean be
less vans because brands you can take more in right
But maybe maybe 1/3 of that. 300 Vans 200 Vans even 200 Vans van
Allah. Right. Then she said then this is what she said, says Amma
in the Samaritan VSL awesome. You're cool ready to Abdurrahman
now via total Jana, the Hub One that I've heard the profit and
loss I'm saying that Abdurrahman Ignatieff, I've seen him entering
into paradise
dragging himself him crawling him not on his feet.
Right now these words they eventually were passed around and
they reached Abdrabbuh. Now very quickly that this is what I showed
the owner just said about you that the profit or loss on said this
and he remembered the purpose of also had said this, and it struck
him it basically he came
to a shot of the Allahu Ana before he would open up any of these
caravans before you unpack anything. He came to Russia and he
said to her look at the quarantine be Hadith in lamb and so you just
remind me of something that I hadn't forgotten but it's just
come in the in the front of my mind now. And then he says Amma in
new shed okay. And the Haverhill car Filati Kalia in Mojave Hill
coffee later could
be Madiha Okta, Bihar Wha, la Sierra, vista de la, this entire
caravan with everything on them all the supplies and everything.
Nothing left is all visa beat Allah.
How can you do this?
How can you do that? You think? Let me enjoy this. Let me take
some of it. I'll give half of it. I'll give a bit of it. Forget half
I'll give a bit. Right.
How would you do that? 700 Animals laden with stock and you say FISA
bill all of that. And the reason is simple, I think right? The
reason is simple. The reason is that you've got all of that money,
which is fine. It's not in your heart, it's in your hands. So you
can easily manipulate it, but it's in your heart It's difficult to
deal with it. It's difficult to turn it somewhere else then it has
to stay close to our heart that's what it is. Yeah, this money is
well you're just playing around with the money like that.
And then he said, I'm going to give all of this in the path of
Allah why it says what hola hola hola hola no hub and Lisa Hub One
I'm going to I'm going to go into it with great vitality not not
dragging myself in I'm going to basically running that's what I'm
doing this fall. In another SS warmer either you're interested
duck to meet attend face Saba for your teen Allahu elfin filled
Messiah. He said, I can give a
I can give a sadaqa of 100 in the morning, Allah will give me 1000
In the evening.
Not a big deal. I can give 100 In the morning, and Allah will give
me 1000 In the evening. That's how much the work he adds. Because he
tried it
while I can, but the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had
said to Abdullah mono Yep, now once it said to him in Nick in the
communal agonia you're very wealthy. We're in the concert hall
agenda, the one you're going to enter if you're not basically
saying if you're not careful with all your money, you're gonna go to
gender because you're Sahabi right Radi Allahu Anhu one other one but
if you're not careful, you're gonna have to go dragging yourself
in like you're gonna go slowly. You're gonna just about get
yourself in, because you're wealthy wealth and that is
connected generally. Right? But for accredited Allah you click
cada make, but you know what, keep giving loans to Allah and He will
remove your shackles from your feet. Basically keep spending in
the path of Allah and Allah will basically take away any shackles
from your feet and you will be able to go into paradise. So
that's that's what it is that generally when you become more and
more wealthy wealth gives you a sense of confidence. Self
Reliance, makes you feel confident and comfortable that I don't need
anybody else. It's easier to forget Allah when you're wealthy
than it is to forget Allah when you're poor, though you can also
forget Allah when you're poor thing and he doesn't look after
me. That's another fitna, right. But generally, this is the fitna,
when you have a lot of money, you just forget about a you don't do
sugar. Otherwise our deen is so wonderful. For in the umbra. Kula,
hello. Hi. The purpose of adjuvant movement. Seriously, no joke that
you can enjoy a nice meal. You can have a bonus got a new job. You
just had
some new gift and you enjoy it. But you remember that it's come
from Allah and you think Allah, that is going you're enjoying it,
but it's going to make you closer to Allah because of sugar. That's
the power that a believer has and nobody but a believer has that.
You're enjoying your life. You're enjoying whatever Allah has given
you. And you just say, Oh, this is what Allah has given me. What that
does is that comes the humility that I didn't do this. Allah gave
it to me. He gave me the ability to make this happen.
That's why Allah just wants us to remember him whether we're wealthy
or poor. And all of that will take us
closer to closer to him. So that's why generally people
they become a bit negligent they become a bit distracted by their
wealth. And but Allah subhanahu wa That's why Allah subhanaw taala
says killer in Al Insana lair Tala Ara who sterner in Isla, Rebecca
Rudra, which basically means that knee, the human, the insan becomes
tyrannical bit arrogant and tyrannical. Are you still gonna
when he sees himself enriched? I've got enough I can spend, I can
get this I don't need to worry. Do you understand? So what then
happens is, you just feel so confident that you feel your
independence.
So Ihlara be crucial, but you have to remember you're gonna go back
to Allah. Horses were probably the most valuable assets and Camos.
So once basically, he gave to the Muslim army, he gave them 500
camels.
If you say, sorry, 500 horses, if you say a horse is worth 1000
That's 500,000
How many Mercedes Can you buy with that?
Can you imagine it's just like this many cars, this many
ambulances in the path of Allah to that convoy, which is going you
know what I mean? Right, then they do the convoys. Somebody asked him
once, how did you get so much wealth? How Why are you so rich?
He says what law he must stop hello to rebellion. I've never
felt any amount of profit to be less. I'm only gonna, there's some
people who keep looking for jobs, the right job. They're not willing
to take another one. They keep struggling until they find the
right job. Because it says beneath them start somewhere and Allah
will give you Baraka.
And he then he says, What are today in the genre today in a city
genre? He says I never basically I never
I never dealt with interest.
Right? I never In fact, I never kept any, I always made it cash. I
never did credit. That's another thing.
I never sold a debt, which is basically complicated ways of
making an interest you selling a debt to somebody else.
Because he said, Lisa, teach audible, he has to learn what the
SIR wouldn't work for Chrono Herman, because all of these
things, you know, when you're dealing with a lot of debt and
interest, at the end of the day all leads to grief and poverty,
even though he seems a lot in the beginning. He had, he basically
used to do three things in his day, that was his occupation. He
was either in the masjid, while he was out in the path of Allah, or
either he was doing pujara Aside from his family life, he will
either be doing some khidmat in the masjid or doing a brother or
he would be a warrior in the path of Allah, right? Because that time
is a constant war going on. And number three, he would either be
doing his business, he's kept busy. That's another thing.
Once he had a collection of people sitting with him for food,
and bit just before the food was going to be brought, and he must
have had good food, I'm assuming.
He started crying. So they said, What's making you cry Abu
Mohammed.
So he says, you know, the Prophet sallallahu sallam, he passed away.
And he passed away in a state that he would never be satiated with a
full
wheat bread made out of wheat. He never satiated himself with bread
made out because that was very expensive, but it was cheaper.
Right? And he says,
It looks like we've brought in advance our bounties of the
hereafter that we're having them in the dunya. So maybe we don't
have them in here. So he's worried about that.
Now remember, he wasn't just spending, he was also doing other
things. So during
the Battle of odd if you remember, the Muslims were winning first.
And then after that, the 50 Archers story, and then Khalid bin
Walid, who was not a Muslim at the time came and attacked, and there
was chaos, and there was a disarray and people dispersed left
and right. But there were people who stayed with the prophets,
Allah or some a group of people, and one of them was Adorama. Live
now for the Allah one. He stayed with him he didn't run away.
Alhadeff Hypno cinema, he relates that once the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam during the Battle of our home, he asked me while
he's in the, in the ravine, the mountain he says have you seen
Abdullah Ahmed have now this is before that is have you seen
Abdurrahman officers? Yes, I saw him at the side of the little
mountain. And he had a group of he had an army of there was a sorry,
there was a army of Mushrikeen policies that were that he was
dealing with, that he was fighting with.
So I had gone in his direction to help him
but then
I saw you so I saw him and I saw you there in two different places.
So I saw you so I came towards you to to help you rather than him.
And that's when he asked him that. Have you seen abdur-rahim now? He
said, Yeah, I just saw him there. So Abdurrahman, so the province
that awesome said, Don't worry about him in NL Mala, you gotta
know who the angels are going to look after him, they're going to
defend him. So he then says that after that, I went in the
direction of Abdul Rahman now if I went to where he was, and I saw
that he had seven
dead people in front of him from the enemy.
So I said, mashallah, you've, you've been victorious. He says,
Then he asked him Did you kill all of these guys? Like, did you
finish all of these guys off? He said, No, this one was
authoritativeness Shura. hmil He killed him. And these other two I
kill them. So he killed two guys. But these other guys there were
seven right, which was so three and four left. He says, I don't
know who killed them.
Sada calahorra. So then, how does that sada calahorra pseudo Allah
and His messenger told the truth. I mean, these are things that
Allah would give to certain people at certain times. He is the
probably the only other person aside from Albuquerque, the Allah
Who under the protocols and prayed behind.
It was coincidental obviously. So what happened is
Mahira Sharma the Allahu Anhu said that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam had to do something before measure time. So I went I
was with him.
Then eventually the prophets Allah Islam came back with his camel and
he tied the camel, you know, sorry, he made his camel sit. And
then he did what he did I put, he relieved himself. I poured water
into his hands to wash them to make wudu etc. And then after
that, we went to where the people were, and we found that they'd
already started praying, and they put up the Rama mouth in front. So
he they put him as the email. Right? So he was Imam material
from that time you could see So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
Sunday it was probably dark or whatever. So the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi salam went and stood
with the Muslims with the with the group to pray with them.
So I'm behind now for the Allahu Anhu did not know he made Salam
when he finished in brackets as a miss one record. So this was in
the second record. So when Abdur Rahman now for the Allahu Anhu
finished, and they looked around, and the Prophet Muhammad stood up
to finish off his one record,
that's when everybody became very troubled because you've not had
this where somebody else's lead the prey and the person behind
them, right. So they firstly I noticed they, they were really
taken aback by this. And they started saying, Subhan Allah
Subhana Allah for this fee? Because they basically rushed and
they're not waiting for the promises and they felt really bad.
But when the Prophet salallahu Salam, that's the promise also
when he finished he said, God stop Don't Don't worry, you've done
right. You did the right thing. Right? Cuz I sent them or cut a
sub to him You did the right thing or you did the best thing. You do
your prayer. Once what happened is
Abdurrahman him now for the Allahu Anhu went and complained about how
they didn't worry that they probably had some issue so he went
and complained to the royal awesome about Harley Davidson
leads
so the problem is I was on set to Harley didn't already there
highridge limit to the regular make it better? Why you
why you troubling this person from the people of budder why you
troubling him? Low unfuck the Mithila origins I have been lumped
to Derek amarilla who you know the people of butter they've got such
a high maqam and a status that if you he said 200 But the Allah one
that if you were to spend as much as the gold as much as Mount Ohad
in gold, you'd not be able to get their status that was an early
better that was a very special one. Had it been really that come
later right? So he felt he's always feel bad about that he was
part of them says you'd never be able to reach him so don't trouble
these people. so high that the Allahu Anhu said Ya rasool Allah
in Romeo Corona fear for him. They they basically say things about me
so I'm just responding to them. They also say things about me
that's why I'm just responding to them. So then the Prophet
sallallahu sallam said to the other side of the Rohan orphans
lotto ha didn't Don't mess around the garden. Right Don't Don't
trouble hearted for him who say filming so you Villa Saba hula
hoop aquifer. He is a
sword of the swords of Allah that Allah subhanaw taala is basically
sent against the disbelievers so he prays both of them he says like
don't mess with these, you know, just just don't do that.
You know, when we've read the when on to the Allahu Anhu story we did
earlier, right? We spoke about how he chose the six people and how
the six people then chose Earthman or the Allah one how
Eventually they made they got together and they discussed the
reason I'm not gonna go into the story. But if you remember,
Abdurrahman named Alpha Dana was the one who said, I'll take care
of this. And I'll say he pulled himself out out of the six. And he
says, I'm going to now decide within you. So then he first said
to them, I want three of you to give over to the other. Right? So
immediately three of them said, Okay, I handed over to you, so
that eliminate another three. So now there's just a few left. And
then he went and he had matura with each of them privately with
Mandy on it to the Allah one. And then he asked him these questions
that if I chose you, then would you do if I didn't choose you then
would you do this? And he asked both of them and then he chose us
manner the hola Juan, right. So that's his position. So this is a
script related that Abdur Ohana now for the loan when he said to
them, handler COMM He offered them the service handler when a
thorough look on one document said, Would you like me to become
like the judge and deal with this out of our six can I do do me to
just take this matter and deal with the matter? So I don't even
know it'd be 30 with the emphasis on a one on one Radhiya I was the
first one to be satisfied and to be pleased that he is going to
take care of it for any seminary to rasool Allah. I need the Allah
honestly remember earlier there was not chosen by him. But it
earlier on said that I was the first to be happy with his choice,
that he'd be the kind of arbiter between us because I've heard the
Prophet saw some saying about him under Amin on fee early summer.
Well, I mean, on earth, you are trustworthy among the inhabitants
of the heavens, and you're the trustworthy one among the
inhabitants of the earth. So I trust him as well.
It was a very dignified individual. Just a few more things
when he passed away. He cried a lot. Sorry, we before he passed
away when he was about to pass away, he cried a lot. Somebody
asked him why Ukraine?
Why Ukraine?
Now he knows he's very wealthy. He knows it right? He says in the
most Arab and Omega kind of higher on Mini. Musab ignominy who died
right at the beginning if you remember the one who used to have
very wealthy his mother used to give him the best of clothes. The
biggest, best,
most adorn person in Medina became Muslim, went to Madina, Munawwara
when he died in the battle, he says he died during the time of
the Prophet sallallahu Sallam but there was not enough to shout him
properly.
Then you have Hamza if not Abdul Muttalib the uncle of the Prophet
sallallahu ala Andrade, Allah one cannot lay it on me he was also
superior to me. We couldn't get a coffin for him either. We couldn't
get a shout for him either. We're in the Asha. And now I am fearful
that I am one of those who have basically got advanced all my
bounties from the hereafter in this worldly life. And they will
have them in the hereafter which is the eternal life. I'd rather
have them there. And he says that's what I'm, that's but he
couldn't help it. He gives 100 In the morning gets 1000 in the
evening, picks up a stone he finds gold underneath they couldn't help
it. Right. So what Archer and Toby sent us hobby bigger, throaty
muddy, I have a fear that I'm going to be withheld and prevented
from joining my friends. Because of my abundant wealth. These
people knew what wealth was
after 100 Now for the Allah one who died in 31 Hijiri.
died in 31 Hijiri and, or 32. Around that time, he was 75 years
old in Madina Munawwara he was buried in Bucky and Earthman were
the Allahu Anhu prayed over him.
He had actually made that request that of the man with the Allahu
Anhu pray my janazah prayer.
So basically, look, wherever we are in our life, or in our wealth,
if you just got a new suit, a new garment, a new car, don't let that
bring a smirk on your face. You know, when people see in it says,
you know, don't let that make that smirk on your face. Just treat it
as a gift of Allah. And thank Allah it will. You see the only
way to deal with wealth and not let it overcome you is to write
Allah gave me this, which means he can take it away from me. In fact
any gift not just well, if Allah has given you a good voice, if
Allah has given you
good teaching, if Allah has given you good speaking, whatever, just
think Allah has given me this. That means he can take it away
from me that suddenly humbles us the best antidote to arrogance.
If your friends look up to you, Allah gave me this, it suddenly
humbles you. Because it could just take it could be taken away at any
time.
So
that is a huge amount to be learned from. Right that's more
than enough to be learned from from these great people. And
that's why we say that the Sahaba they like stars, right? I may not
be
able to find my kind of thing in a particular zahavi. But I can find
notice, maybe I can relate to Abdul Rahman now because he's my
namesake. And I'd like to be as wealthy as him just to be able to
give, right? Whatever you have, let's look at the sahaba. Because
there are a lot of trials and there's a, there's a lot that is
being offered to our knifes these days, it's the time of Anasuya
enough can really enjoy however you want. Whatever you want, is
abundant things to attract us and make us negligent. This is the
time to think about Allah subhanaw taala to balance that, so that we
don't just get caught up completely. And the more wealthier
people you're around, sometimes you can't help that your relatives
are all wealthy. They're all in exclusive cars and suits and
things like that. So you feel like you need to do if all of your
friends have Subhanallah I might just had a problem with my phone.
I sat with one group people are saying, Man, forget about fixing
this. It's three it's a two and a half, three year old phone get a
new one. And I know if I fix it, it can last me another year. And
then I sat with another group of people and I said I'm gonna buy a
new phone. Why are you wasting your money this works. You can get
this to work. Can you see how I'm I wasn't gonna buy a new phone
when I sat with that first group of decent people listen, just get
a new phone. He started laughing at me. So I became interested I
must get a new phone. The next day I was with some of my students and
we discussed there's no you they were saying Why would you get a
new phone you're wasting your money. So that made me now think
again. Can you see how you're affected by different people? So
the kind of company you keep, you're going to be affected by
that.
In the way you deal with matters, they will both right now I have to
make a decision. I think I've made one anyway.
My wife made the decision for me.
So anyway, may Allah subhanaw taala give us Tofig let's make
some dua, Allah hoomans mandocello in the bottle theater
