in the first week of the month of Ramadan, and normally when Ramadan
comes around, there's an increase in a see how
is the increase in advices and lectures and beyonds that we
receive?
One of the things which are very beneficial is to actually see how
certain people
established the beam and the religion in their lives.
What is that we hear a hadith or Quranic verse and we process it
for ourselves and we try to
him imbibing within ourselves. Another way is to see how others
have reflected over the Sharia, the Quran and the Sunnah, and how
they have adopted the message, how they've personalized it, and how
they've used it to live their life and to guide themselves in, in
their lifestyle. I think that's actually very beneficial because
we can actually then see how somebody
acts on the deen
we hear the stories of the Sahaba the benefit that we the benefit
that we receive from listening or reading about the Sahaba is how
they took the deen and how they understood it and how they
actually established it in their life. Then they were the tabby
rain, and then they were the people that followed them.
I just want to speak about just one incident today. One exchange
actually a dialogue between two very prominent individuals. One
was prominent in the sense that he was the three of them swimming.
He was a Khalifa of the Muslim ummah at the time. So they might
be marked in many unfamiliar one or the following clips. The one
who was the Hollywood just before before wrote them not that it is
became the faith.
The son of Abdulmalik number one, his name was Selena and impacted
by him in 97 Hijiri
in 97, off the heater, so they might inherit the medic, he went
to
the holy sanctuaries, welcome Corolla, Madina, Munawwara. When
he got to Madina, Munawwara
he,
they set up his caravan there. Now he's the belief, you know, the
millions they had made the Doubletree love in Damascus.
It really Allah was not a philosopher was it you could say
Kufa to a certain degree after Madina Munawwara but when it came
to the omegas, from what arguably Allah one thereafter, Damascus in
Syria was the center of Caliphate
Salima The Guardian Malik, he had actually been in Gaza and
Palestine as well. But in 97, he who went to Madina, Munawwara,
they started his camp there.
And as soon as the camp was set up all of the respect for big people
from around in and around Medina, whenever they came to visit him,
they came to see him they need to make Salam.
So he welcomed them, he spoke to them, after a while after Salima
dinarobin Medic, after he had
finished with them,
and he had welcomed them and spoken to them. He said to some of
his companions, he said,
The hearts they become corroded, become rusty, just like metal or
becomes rusty.
You have to understand that he's coming to Madina Munawwara for a
reason.
When a person comes from Madina, Munawwara the hearts normally
melts.
But we have to give it to these beliefs of the past, despite
whatever we hear about them, and we say about them, and what
history documents about them. They seem to have had a piety which is
not always found in necessarily the leaders of today, at least not
openly. When you hear this exchange in this dialogue, you
will see that there was humility in this speech, there was a wanton
a desire to be close to Allah subhanaw taala.
And it's almost like this Hanif is in this position as a leaf with
all of the riches and the indulgence and everything. A
tradition that has come through the millions when
I want to be really intelligent people after my god Allah one
after some of the good ones, they went on to be very indulgent
people when he didn't have anybody. There's a lot of
controversy about these individuals. But exactly they, in
fact, there's a difference of opinion among really on this whole
contention among the relevance to whether the Abbasids are greater
than the Hoover years over the coming, it's greater. And there's
long debates about this in history as well, that our buses, they
followed the omegas. And many people they say that our buses had
a better feel of, but yet there were problems in that person's as
well.
The way it's had some problems as well, there's a there's even some
governors known because you know, the governors and the police, they
will be the ones to come and lead the prayer, they will be the Imam
of the Mississippi as well. The most rightful person to lead the
the solid University is the Imam of the Muslim, which means the
Hadith.
So one of them, a governor, or one of the techniques, he came for
Fajr prayer, and he was drunk.
So we've even had that. I mean, you think is bad today, you think
is bad today. I mean, we've had a person who's the lead for the
governor, he's drunk, it's come to lead the vertebrae. And nobody can
say,
in many cases, what happened is one of the one of the governors
used to
the equal to the evil of the ill fated eternal Africa is normally
given after the solids, traditionally, that's the Sunnah
he would give it before. And the reason the reason for that is, if
he gave it afterwards, nobody will sit. They didn't want to listen to
him. So then he gave it in the in before, and he would extend it. So
people would have to sit and listen, because they have to make
Assad. So then we've had all sorts of cases in the past. So they were
impacted when it is considered normally to be a much nicer one
nicer honey.
And he says, after he beats everybody, he says, you know, the
hearts they normally feel they get rusty just like metal or becomes
rusty. Is there anybody here?
Actually, what he said is that hearts become rusty. And that's
why they need from time to time they need somebody to come and
clean it, to remind it, to counsel it, so that all that rust, and
that corrosion could be eliminated.
It has to be cleaned once in a while.
So they said yes, yes, of course there is. You know, we can call
somebody who can come and speak to you who can give you some advice
we can call someone.
He said isn't isn't there in Madina Munawwara somebody who's
meant the Sahaba, who's lived with the Sahaba because this was the
time of the Debye. Now we're talking about 97, digitally, there
were maybe one or two Sahaba left at that time. And so nomadic, like
you died around this time, there was one that died after him.
But that was it. They had that they lived for a very long time.
But after they was on a Debian meaning the people routine, who
had seen the Sahaba so you said Is there somebody in Madina?
Munawwara who's met a group of the Sahaba who has benefited from them
and who can come and give us some nice see her give us some advice
who can remind us they said yes, of course you have your what we
need days ago has him the one that disabled on average, the one who's
got his name, he's got a problem in his in his in his leg and who
has him? He said who's who has never heard of a guy who has been
outed who is who has an outage. So they explained that his name that
was his title or has it was his title. His name was similar in
Edina, and he was considered the animal Madina Munawwara and the
Imam of Imam of Madina, Munawwara Susan, he was a major scholar of
Madina, Munawwara and they said that he was one of the tambourine
one of those people who had met a number of the Sahaba a number of
the great Sahaba. So, so they made an argument he said, Yes, go and
call him call, call him for us. But when you call him be gentle in
your calling, you don't kind of summon him as though the king in
the rule is summoning somebody to like a criminal or something, fill
up the food bank, you know, go and be gentle with him when you summon
him. So they went and they called him over when he came.
Firstly, the king he welcomed him, he sat him very close, and treated
him very nicely, but then he said to him in this kind of mock anger
as such, he said Mahathir Jaffa Yaga has him What is this?
estrangement? What is this a version of who has him Why didn't
you come to meet us? Why didn't you come to see us?
Everybody else has come you didn't come why you think so far away
from the you know, when you kind of tell somebody off in a fund
kind of nice, mock anger kind of way. Like what's wrong with you
like Why Why haven't you been me for so long?
So look at the answer is it this is what we need to focus on today
is the exchange between the two. This is a Hadith, he just has to
give an order and your head will be off if Allah subhanaw taala so
wills and domains were known for that. Hedging the use of was known
as you know he's from he was a cop.
One of the minutes so Maha Jaffa has the what is what is this a
version of who has the why you stay away? Who has him? So who has
him says to him? What have you Jaffa in? Right and Whitney
Miramont? Meaning what kind of aversion? Have you noticed on from
me? Only Romanian? Where is the aversion? What version? Do you
speak about Omega Bobigny? So he says Hourani, would you notice,
one of the certainly the main index people of Medina Buddha are
the great great people of Medina when they came and they visited me
and you did not visit me. So a boy has him says really cool. He says,
in the Maya, cooler jefa are better than where I differ. A
version can only be after recognition. A version can only be
once you get to know someone. When you don't know someone, how can
you say that? You're avoiding me? I don't know you anyway.
Well enter my often ecopure Yang, you know, you didn't know you did
not know about me before this day. Before this day, you had no idea
of me what he took, and neither have I ever seen you before for
you GFI and what I mean. So what kind of aversion has ensued from
me?
The Khalifa said to the people who are out in Iraq, but this is not
in a private gather. This is not a private one to one discussion. In
that way, you know, you could get away with much more. But here
that's the leaf has to also look at his position. He has to see
what people are going to be thinking. Imagine you are in that
position, a respectable person of the community and somebody came
and responded to you that way. What would you do we have to save
our face, we become defensive. But I have to give it to this man. If
you look at his response.
He told the people around him he said Asaba chef,
the chef is absolutely right in his excuse.
He is absolutely right in his excuse, what after Al Khalifa what
after opening for the antibiotic, and the Khalifa is wrong in
telling him off.
So just in case anybody had any doubt about that, he makes it very
clear that the hadith is wrong in turning him off. He was more anger
anyway to start with.
Then he turned to elbow hazard when he said, he got to the point
he said, In the fineness issue or none, but up to an up the behavior
about housing. I had some feelings in the hearts, some trembling is
in the heart, some turbulence in the hearts, which I would like to
bring to your attention. Oh, who hasn't? Heard the higher? Meaning?
What law will will stand up? Who hasn't said, bring it up? Bring it
forth? Tell it to me. Allah is we Allah subhanaw taala is so for his
assistance to Allah is the best of help us. So the only person who
has him the first question he asked him and look at this
question, look at the answer. And I think we can all reflect over
this. Yes, this is all addressed to the belief. But believe me, we
live like cliffs today. In terms of what we're speaking about here,
we live like lives, we manage our affairs, we have disposable
income, we can get whatever we want 24 hours in it. In fact, we
probably have more facility today than the 30 probably had at that
time. And much more easily today, we can shop any time of the day,
24 hours a day. And maybe and you if you pay enough you can get the
product the next day. Right. So a lot of this relates to us. And we
need to this is not just about a story that we is here to infuse us
that whole idea of this is to reflect so that we can derive some
lessons from this in this one to Ramadan, and make this as part of
our target non objective to reach Allah subhanaw taala as well. He
asked him a question. He said merlon and Acropolis notes. Why is
it that we hate death?
Who likes death? Who's ready for his death right now? We all know
and acknowledge that we will die one day, and it's something we've
taken for granted that it will happen. But which one of us is
actually prepared for our death? That if we're told that we're
going to die tomorrow, we wouldn't do anything different? Because we
already set everything is in motion. All debts are cleared that
we're already all taken care of. Mother No, no problem goats. What
is it that we dislike that? Has it instantly he says the Amana dunya
will her Ramona Hirota now
for necro Hollywood you made an Rumery Murray in a hot rod. The
reason for that is very simple. The reason is that we have
populated, inhabited our dunya we've adorned it embellished it,
we've gone to great extremes to make it the place of confidence
and luxury for us. waha Robina Hirata and we have made desolate
our archaea. We've been given a promise piece of land in the
hereafter.
I
As the Hadith mentions in Lyon, is an empty piece of land, and the
Honsou, which means its plantation, its plants. And what
you're going to sow in there is the SubhanAllah. That does mean,
we have to inhabit the land of the hereafter. He's saying that this
world of ours, the closer world, the near world, the mirror about,
we have inhabited, that. We've embellished it, we've adorned it.
And we've really made it beautiful for ourselves and the hereafter,
we've made it desolate. There's nothing there for us. The weeds
are growing so much further, Cravalho, rouge, Minella, Ramadi,
even haram. And thus, we totally dislike leaving an inhabited place
for a desolate place. Imagine if today, I mean, we hear about in
the media, we hear that there are places in America before the boom
in China, they made all of these big cities, and these cities are
totally empty. Nobody needs to buy it. Because the bus came in. It
just didn't take off. Imagine you were given those houses for 50
pounds each. Go Go live there. Why would you want to go live there?
Right? If you Why would you live? I mean, even for us here, I mean,
the reason why we stick around in these areas because we've got a
masjid, we've got many things that are inhabited. We've worked hard
to inhabit these things. If we're told to go to another place that's
desolate, we're not going to do it. But what about if you know
you're going to have to go there. In this case, it's a choice that
we stay in London, East London, we stay there, or need we move out
further and get a bigger house, right, maybe get a better
lifestyle than all of the traffic and everything.
We've got an option, we can stay here and die here. Or we could
move. But what about if we were told that there is another place
that you're gonna have to vote
one day, you're definitely going to have to go there. You're only
here for a certain time, then it will be quite crazy. And it will
be quite insane that we don't work to do something that is there that
the day when it comes that we have to leave and go then at least
we've got something to go towards. Otherwise we'd have to redo
everything if we even get there.
And that's the problem. That's the fourth year that we have made our
world mashallah so beautiful.
That we hate to leave it so that we could go to the hereafter
because we haven't focused the hereafter is not a conscious thing
in our mind yet. The people of Allah subhanho wa Taala they're
focused on the hereafter. So they make this place as the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said confit dunya and knock over even
be in this world as though you're a traveler or a Wayfarer. So
they've got a few things together there. But the hear of these what
they sent sending everything forward. This was a very
straightforward answer sort of Khalifa said Sadhak. You've told
the Absolute Truth. Then after that, he said, Oh, housing leader,
Shadi Berlin are in the war. He rather
I'm really concerned. What is our consequent consequence in front of
Allah subhanaw taala. Tomorrow, what will we receive in front of
Allah subhanaw taala tomorrow?
Look at the answer he gives me. He says that I do that I'm a lurker
either Kitab Allah here soldier, take your actions and your deeds
your behavior and put it in front of the words of Allah subhanaw
taala put it in front of the words of Allah subhanho wa Taala and you
will find what you will discover in the hereafter tomorrow you will
find what your result will be in the hereafter.
So I will have the Hadith says why magic of Yucatan villa which I do
speak about which verses are you telling me to compare my actions
to? So he says the geography you told him, you will find it where
Allah subhanaw taala says in about all the female dream, what in them
for general on the future in the valley the good and the pious
people will be in bounties Jana to nine will be in the bounties of
Paradise and the disobedient ones, the transgressors will be in the
hellfire. Take our actions, do we qualify as do we qualify as
obedient and pious people and righteous people? Or do we qualify
as sinners? And that there is your answer? He says,
The Khalifa says then. So where is the Mercy of Allah
for environmental law? You know, we all hear Allah Rahim Allah for
so there's many people who actually do sins openly and they
say Allah.
Allah is merciful. Allah is compassionate. And there's no
doubt about that. But this blatant act of perpetration of wrong, why
in the back of your mind, ALLAH is forgiving on me. He's forgiving
us, okay, he's, he's soft. That's the attitude. It's like, for
example, you're at work, you have an employer and some other
employee wants to do something wrong. Maybe take something home
or not or slack off work or something.
So you tell him No, that's wrong. He says well, he doesn't really my
is too soft anyway. Right? What are you going to think? Isn't that
the attitude of Allah? subhanaw taala What do you mean when you
say Allah is forgiving? That He's so soft that you know I can call
my shots? I can do what I can he's gonna forgive me anyway, where's
the guarantee?
Where's the Allah is definitely one forgiving. But there are
conditions for us. There is a heart that's needed for that.
Repentance, remorse.
So either amatola Where is the Mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala
he must have found the answer to be very blunt and very
straightforward, very strict. So where's the Mercy of Allah
subhanho wa taala.
And who has him said again from the Quran, in the Rahmatullahi
caribou middle Mazzini the very diversity of Allah subhanho wa
Taala is well close to the tourism good. So those who do good will
have the Mercy of Allah subhanaw taala
then the Khalifa says data sharing painful to do more Allah here so
whichever the Naga Salif is getting really soft and out, is
getting really concerned. He says later, Charlene careful to do
martial law here so it won't be upon me. How will How will our
approach to Allah subhanho wa Taala be tomorrow? How will our
confrontation with Allah subhanho wa Taala be tomorrow? Several has
been said, unmolested. As far as the tour of good is concerned,
fickle high, you have to do more either.
The person who does good, the doer of good, he'll be like the one
who's gone for a holiday. And he's dying to get back home.
He's been away for a month. He wants to see his wife and his
children. And he finally comes back home. And can you imagine the
pleasure and the satisfaction and the happiness that he gets when he
gets back home? And now he's safely back with his family? He
hugs them and he brings them close to him. So the person who is a
doer of good in this world, that is the same experience that he
will have in the hereafter. Yes. May Allah subhanaw taala give us
that experience in the hereafter May Allah make us of those people
who get that experience of democracy do what I'm going to
see. As far as the evil person is concerned. The person who was
always transgressing fucka lab didn't hurt him. He will be like
the slave who's runaway? The runaway slave, you salco de la
Mola, who's the one who is then found, who is then captured and he
is pulled and dragged to his master that here you go, this is
your runaway slave
buckle Khalifa. Now the Khalifa began to cry this his heart is
totally soft and out all his pretenses or any arrogance if
there was any has has gone he began to weep in front of
everybody had the either enactment until his lamenting became very
loud. So he wasn't crying in this manner to hide himself. He was
clearly an open he will it was his time to do that was that the vocal
is crying became very intense. is crying became very intense. Then
he said horrible has him. Gay fella and mostly, how can we
reform ourselves give us a way to reform ourselves to make ourselves
better, to enhance ourselves to correct ourselves call into their
own income at the corporate level has him penetrating insight for
soccer field. Penetrating insights, absolutely eloquent
speech, short, pithy statements that hit the mark. This is exactly
what Pablo has him is doing. Absolutely no fear whatsoever.
Just given the Khalifa he wants as the perfect doctor that is
administrating the bitter medicine and knows how to administrators,
that is your husband. So he says to him that their own an attacker
poor, you will abandon from yourself all forms of arrogance
and pride that you're better than anybody else. You take that away
from yourself, what are the handleable more, and you will
embarrass yourself with chivalry with modesty with honor, with
generosity Morula which means the sense of honor when you deal with
other people, not the sense of arrogance when you deal with
others, but a sense of honor, decency, chivalry, that's what you
have to adorn yourself with.
Then the Khalifa says, well hasn't been recognizing that a lot of the
problems come because of the wealth that you have been
diligence where as I said, the way is well known for the indulgence.
So so he might have not been money. He says What happened man
must submit to Allah to Allah He fee this world that we have what
is the way of Taqwa in it? What is the way to deal with this wealth
with Taqwa with God fearing this oh boy has him I will holla at him
says either a has to move will be happy
In order to movie and if you have taken it from the rightful person
that it needs to be taken from, and then you've distributed in the
people who are entitled for it.
That is what the right of it is. Because there are millions were
known to that they will not like Robert Martin, as these became the
Khalifa after slavery in our debate.
He immediately said together, in fact, the whole night was engaged
in the barrier of slavery American bank, so they've already granted
rights children were too young to become the next belief overnight
that ISIS was a cousin, he was not one of the children of African
American number one, the previous thief, he was not in the line of
descent of them, their line of descent that may be kind of a
monarchy Khilafah search where they will just pass it on to their
family. So the children were not old enough. One of the children,
he tried to put long clothing on him to make him look taller, so
that maybe he would be chosen. But it didn't work. There was a
scholar who was one of his advisors forever, not there. But
he was a nice man, generally, there was a scholar who was one of
his advisors, so he whispered in his ear is that your cousin? Our
doctorate is Allah subhanaw taala created this situation, he
whispered in his ear. So
I'm gonna mark that as he is. That's how he was chosen to become
the next one. Not by default, he was chosen then, then it was it
was agreed that he will be a next belief. And after that, we'll go
back into his family. So more of that there as he spent the whole
night in this barrier.
Next morning, he hasn't slept. He gives a hot bath after fajr. In
fact, after he leaves the burial ground, he just looks behind him.
And suddenly he sees the chief of the police, the chief of the army
with this large entourage, he turns around to them, and he says,
I won't be needing this anymore. You're, you're ready. You don't
need to do this anymore.
So then he gets he gets to the masjid, he gives the hotdog. And
he gives his inauguration for bucks such that I am responsible
for you. Now if I you know, in the pious football, he delivered, and
then after that he left to go and take a nap. And as he was going
inside, his son comes along, and he says to his father, or father,
where you going? He says, I've been awake all night, I need to
take a rest. He said, What happens if you die before them? He says,
I'll go back after the break, then we'll carry on. We'll carry on the
judgments and people's grievances. This is people out there with
grievances. They want to speak to you about many things that have
happened in the beliefs of the past. They want you to sit right
the wrongs that have been that have been committed before. He
says I'll do it after God. I'm very tired. This is what happens
if you don't what happens if you don't live in to God, then what?
So overlapping disease grabs his son, imagine if your son said that
to you.
If he sent you a right, how would you feel for him? Not the disease
Hung's it hugs him and embraces him. And he praises Allah he says
all praises to Allah Who gave me something like this, you can set
your eyes. He went back, and he sat down. And there you go. People
were complaining so and so can evil sons or governor, they took
this piece of land, they did this. They did this and out of darkness.
He just started giving everything back. He took all of the jewelry
that his wife, his wife was one of the sisters of Celine money,
American rights. She was from the royal family. He took all of our
jewelry, we put it in the basement.
She was a woman of great understanding as well. She She She
stayed up with him like that.
Eventually you're on Arcturus, he's was poisoned, but going back
to Sullivan didn't have the money. Who was one of the nicer ones
among them.
He says, Then he says, this is the way I've talked about so he's
explaining this in the way of Taqwa as long as you take it
minutes, right? And then you you disseminate it you you're
distributed to the people who who are entitled, what caused them to
move history? Well, either two feet depending on your area,
and you will distribute it fairly and justly, and you need to be
just among the populace among your subjects. The Khalifa then said,
who has been the underdog in Arma. And after Innes told me about the
most superior among people who is the best of people. He says all
your moral attiva Tokar the people who are best in terms of self
honor and dignity and Dupois and the reason why those two things
are mentioned he's mentioned is when you're a person of dignity
and honor you will treat others well. So your relationship we have
with others will be with respect with dignity, you will treat
people not with arrogance, and took off your responsibility with
Allah subhanho wa Taala will be one of goodness because you will
be fearful of Allah subhanho wa Taala that is the secret that if a
person wants the best of character have Moreover, and have Taqwa and
that is the best in terms of interaction with others and our
relationship with Allah subhanaw taala then the Khalifa says the
woman in the room totally about Azim what is
The most just speech, what is the most just speech? What is the
speech that holds the most justice or Azeema? Is that and look at
what he says.
Without an iota of fear
Kadima to Hopkin, your guru Hallmark one in the manga, we're
in the main your job,
the word of truth, that is said,
by somebody in front of someone who he fears, or in front of
someone who he has some hopes in.
Think of that very carefully. What is your fearful of someone that if
you say something wrong, then they can do something wrong to you. I
mean, in the case of the Halevi, may kill you even imprison you. In
the case today, they may demote you, they may knock off your
marks, they may throw you out, they may not vote for you
tomorrow. These are all possible manifestations. You're fearful of
the people. And that's why you say it or in the media or jus which
means all you have some hope and ulterior motive, you feel that
this person can benefit you. You want that promotion from that
person, you want their votes, you want that money that comes from
that person, that gift that they normally give you the favors that
they normally show you so you are not willing to say the truth in
front of them. You will hide the truth and you will act
hypocritically in front of them. This man is Pamela so eloquent.
He's just got it. All right, he understands he's got the answers
ready? He's not sitting there thinking oh, and then he gives an
answer. He knows what He's speaking about. These are the
people of Allah. The people of Allah are people who have a
crystal clear in their mind as to what the right and wrong is.
And the highest manifestation of that mandala was Brahman follow.
That's why he's called to follow Claudia Allah. Absolute criteria,
no confusion. Can you see any confusion? In this man's words?
Crystal clear. He knows exactly what it is varied questions,
questions ranging, and all sorts of topics. His answers are very
clear, immediate.
Then the Khalifa says,
from a sort of duranie ejabberd. about housing, what is the fastest
door to be accepted for housing?
Which will be answered the fastest do I will?
Do I have a good person for other good people, though I will mostly
needed MCT oil, one good person for other good people. That's the
fastest of the two hours. He's not saying the other doors will not be
accepted. For example, the door offer an evil person. He's not
saying it's not going to be accepted. The question is that
which is the fastest of the DOS we accepted. And the reason for that
is quite clear that Omar had mentioned that and that in fact,
it's in a hadith. The hadith mentions in the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam said, don't just make dua to Allah subhanho wa
taala. When you have trouble, when you need something from Allah, but
make dua are in good times, Allah subhanho wa Taala was then
recognize your voice, Allah, Allah will recognize our voice
regardless. But this is just to make a point, that it's a familiar
voice. This person is always asking, I know how to give him
I'll give him he's always asking, I'll give him even in bad times.
We should not just come to the masjid. We should not just sit in
lectures, when we have trouble. When we've got a court case, when
we just had an accident, when we've got a problem at work, when
he got problem with our children. When he got problems with our
parents, then we rushed into question to get that kind of boost
for that moment, and then bye bye, that is all gone, then it's all
finished. I mean, that's the way that we laugh at the machine used
to do things when they're in the middle of the ocean, they call out
to Allah subhanaw taala affirming if groschen yet their absolute
qualities, but when they're in the state, something overcomes them,
their nature speaks and they begin to say that yes, Allah is Allah,
as soon as Allah subhanaw taala takes them to the bank, they think
in some other some other kind of miracle. They think that is some
other I mean Subhanallah on a lesser scale, this is what we do,
that when we start making dua to Allah subhanho wa Taala when we
only need and that is there is something wrong. So that's why I
said the first test of gods to be accepted is a far and dua of a
good person, a pious person for other pious people.
Then he says
the Khalifa says woman of color sadaqa what's the best charity
that you could give? He said Jonathan will kill your daughter
who is
and fucky you mean Haley a lot better woman? No. What are other?
Look how clear this answers the clarity in his understanding. He
says the best of sadaqa is that one which is given after great
effort by the person who doesn't have much to start with Jonathan
local. It's a joke. There's an effort by the Musqueam is the one
who has very little right. It's the one given by the one who has
very little after great effort. And then he
He goes and puts it in the hand. Right? He goes and puts it in the
hands. And he's not waiting for that person to come to ask him,
his words afraid so well that they every part means something. So he
says he goes and puts it in the hand of a needy person. And then
it is not followed up by any reminders, or any harm. Hey, I
gave you you know, I give you a subcategory here. Thank you for
that money every year. What's your problem with you? Why can't you
support me now? Why can't you vote for me now? Why can't you? You
know, be on my side? Why can't you defend me, you know, whatever,
whatever the story is, men men means to go and remind a person
that you've given something to pay, I did that for you. Now it's
permissible in the case where somebody is a total ungrateful
jerk, when you give them things and they're just being ungrateful.
Absolutely. And, you know, for no reason whatsoever, then you can
say, I mean, yeah, what kind of ungrateful person right if you
want to, but in any other case, where it's just a poor fucking
you, I mean, you're not you don't go and remind them.
Then the Khalifa said Akia. So NASA has him, who is the most
intelligent of people who has him, he said, Roger, non lawful
authority, the entire other for me to be so muddled, sorry.
That the person who has succeeded in being obedient to Allah
subhanaw taala, he's overcome himself. He's left his time of
Jania he's overcome himself. And now he's in the obedience of Allah
subhanho wa taala. And he's practicing opponents. And then he
goes, and He guides others to it as well. We heckler with wisdom.
Many people when they when they come right after being wrong, then
they become so,
so strong about it, that they become finitary about it. They
have like a little army with them and they go on, you know, like, I
want to break everybody down. I mean, it took you so many years.
So why do you do that for others people are one needs to recognize
that then things need to be done with wisdom. You need to try then
the Khalifa said who's the worst of the people who's the most
stupid person? The most foolish of people listen to this one
carefully. Because this is something that many of the weak
ones among us who don't think for themselves will do. People who
just follow football and don't think themselves sorry for that.
And I'm talking about people who have no intelligence their whole
life is football or their whole life is something else. Frivolous
activity, you know, what is that? Okay, you've got some interest but
the other one is that that's only your interest that's all you do
your wife complains because you're sitting watching more hive x three
hours a day. A woman
right? May Allah have mercy on me Allah rectify the husband, we get
questions like the smile on my husband sits for three hours
watching football.
Subhanallah so he says the word children in South Africa Maha saw
heavy,
especially those who are in a crew all the time who like to be with
people with a click would like to, you know, always be with their
friends, even if they don't want to be with them to have to be with
them, because they've just got themselves in that circumstance. A
person who gets pulled by the desires of his companion, a person
who gets attracted and dragged along by the desires of his
companion was Sahiba, who hired him why this companion is an
oppressor. He's a wrongdoer. But he gets pulled along with him. So
essentially, what he was saying further hirato be dunya reading.
So he has sold his art here for the dunya of someone else. Think
about that.
One is that you do your own indulgence, right. And you send
your art here for your own indulgence, which is bad enough,
but at least you got the pleasure. This one is that it's for somebody
else is bidding for somebody else's desires. We're just tagging
along with them. We feel comes we feel that we have to compel to do
it, and we're selling our gear up because we're not going to pre
sell out because we don't want to go to the club tonight. They want
to go and caminhada we don't really want to be there but you
want to be part of it. Because you want to see cool, you know,
because you get certain benefits of being in there. Whatever the
case, may Allah protect us. So
you're sending your art here for somebody else's desire.
Then the universal
peripheral seems to have finished his questions, but then he notices
the spark and the spark in his eyes. And he says to him, and he
thinks to himself, I'm a Steven, this man. How do I stay with him?
How can I get him to stay with me? Right? This is a jewel. This is a
poem. It's one line. He's He's a straight shooter. He tells it as
it is, and it affects the heart. The Khalifa says her lover and
does have an idea about housing for too far to see women now want
to see him. Is it possible that you remain in our company that you
know you stay with because you know the Salif nominee has an
entourage that you remain in our company. I can benefit from you
and you can benefit from us. You can benefit from me
I can benefit you I can help you out whenever you need things you
can and I can benefit from you. Can Leia be remote? We need no way
Oh, absolutely not Jesus Ganga absolutely not the Khalifa says
what do you want? Why not? Why not Asha and arquilla la and Hakuna in
econ Karelian
you Archer and Aquila in a company even for you the code in love with
that full hierarchy will take from them and I my fear is that if I
stayed with you that I would just slightly become inclined to you
and your ways. And then Allah I look at this and then Allah
subhana wa Tada will give me double the world and double double
the death.
Essentially, what Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran, to the
prophets of Allah is that none other than Horus and Allah says
that had We not strengthened you had we not kept you steadfast and
giving you that strength to deal with these challenges. Then keep
the torpedo at him Shane Karela somebody dotnet codec file
hierarchy will different number from an attitude of The Guardian
ICO.
This is speaking to the prophets of Allah audio. So now
who do we know is the Promise of Allah? But Allah is saying that if
we have not strengthened you and given you that special tofield,
then you could have possibly become inclined to them just
slightly, can you add in all of those challenges that were put in
front of him? Or will believe if you if you do this for us, we will
believe what about this, you know, we you worship our notes for one
year, and then we worship your Lord for another in all of these,
they gave me one of these proposals and the Promise of Allah
it was very merciful character from Allah subhanaw taala kept him
steadfast that he was able to deal with all of these things. And who
hasn't used the same thing. He said, If I stayed with you that in
your company, I will become influenced by you, I will become
influenced by you, Richard, let me give you an example. You got a,
you got a new person that comes into town, he's got a really nice
car, right. But you know, he's got a nice, maybe M sticks or whatever
it's called right? X 4x. Six, or whatever it is, you sign there a
few times, what's your desirability, if you'd like that
cup, your desire is going to be able to get one of those as well
before the end of the draft of it. Now you're set setting it up,
you've seen it, you've seen his pickup, you've seen whatever it
is, and now you want to get one as well. You sit with somebody,
right? You say with somebody you've never, you know heard
about. I mean, I'm going to be behind that one. But you've never
heard about a hand stitch suit. You've met, you know, this new guy
at work, and he's going with his hand stitch suits. And you think
like, I can't get Calvin Klein anyway, must get a special tailor
made bespoke, you know, all the rest of it. It's just this is the
way the world works. Essentially, that's the way the world works.
That's what we've been told to look at people who have less than
us so we can be thankful. If we look at people with better things,
we're going to want that as well. It's just human nature to do that.
And our standards will rise. There's nothing wrong with the
standards. It's just the indulgence in the world that it
brings about. That's the problems to have a high standard. If you've
Allah subhanaw taala has given you money and wealth, to have the
standards as long as you're humble. As long as you're spending
in charity as well. There's nothing wrong with that. The
problem is that the arrogance, which it normally brings along
with it, because when you have much more you have more than
somebody else, you start thinking you're better than somebody else.
You put up in something somebody else puts up in something else,
what are you going to think the way you get out and the way you
close your door the way you press the button, you know, there's a
certain that you put your glasses out, you know, you need some
glasses with that, you know, and you need a certain type of
attitude that goes along with these things, just the way of the
world right? Very few people can avoid these things.
So I am fearful of that then I'm fearful then that Allah subhanaw
taala will then give me double in this world but then in the
hereafter I'll have problems then the Khalifa says oh who has him?
Is there a need that you have give me any if there's a need that you
have given to me and I'll sorted out for you who has remained
silent this is when he's silenced? No no response. So the Hadith he
asks him again it far enough Logitech whatever need you have
telling me oh has it Napoli Hurlock Mamanuca wherever it may
be whatever it may be, tell it to us and we'll sorted off for you.
We're given the what is gonna be
the Khalifa said Hacettepe sorry, the OPPO has to find the response.
He says hi JT and to look at and even know what to create an
agenda. My one desire is that you save me from the hellfire.
You give me delivery from the Hellfire give me a ticket away
from the hellfire and give me access to paradise. And to me
developers, and the Khalifa says they submit surely that's not
something I can do. Oh hazard abou hazard said Murni midhard ncwa
opinion, I don't have any need besides that.
That's my own cubbies.
Imagine that. We're in front of somebody who tells us what do you
want?
This store is open for you. You know, Costco as a day if you want
you know, whatever.
Have Dunham's Take whatever you want take this trolley whatever
you can feel taken. Absolutely how many minutes? I got
Subhanallah but
then the Khalifa says okay mix them to offer me mix them to offer
me okay
Allahumma immediate Allahumma incarna Dukkha Salima Mahalia ik,
for your serum for your sin who gave earlier in dunya will ask you
what incurred and in order for us, we're happy to hit both Allah. O
Allah, if the servant of Your Solomon is from among your close
ones, your wedding your earlier than men, the good of this world
and the hereafter easy for him and facilitated for him. And if he is
from your enemies,
then
guide him, reform him towards the path that you love and that you
are pleased with a person who's looking at all of this was more of
a defender for the right, you know, you get those people bigger
junctures than the people in the right.
He says Bessemer couldn't look at the Hodeida miracle me he was
probably being angry all this time. It's just see when he says
what perhaps things you've been saying to us and you've since
you've entered upon him, I mean, the Khalifa has no problem he's
been praising the man and this person is saying what bad things
you've been saying to that I'm gonna move any further the agenda
Khalifa Lucy Milam in our daily lives, data you've made the
Khalifa among the enemies of Allah and you've you've made not to be
so bad for housing but this summer to turn about housing tensor man
he says not what you're saying is that is the worst of things,
whether the law, the law or the rule of law, he only thought we
actually have to do any better. Allah subhanho wa Taala has taken
has taken the covenant has uncovered with the Redeemer that
they should see the truth regardless of whom it's in front
of. That's a covenant Allah has with their Allah that they say the
truth. Allah subhanaw taala says lead to pain you don't know
holiness, you will attend to Munna you will mention it clearly to the
people and you will not hide anything that is the widow or the
money to be. May Allah make us of those people. So metathetical
funny, but then he turned around to the Khalifa. And he says yeah,
we don't have any. He explained he explained himself to me when he
says in the Lydian about overland, I will probably hardly the people
who pass before us from the past nations vulnerable behind Anwar
ADVIA, ma,
ma to nebula mirage. But as the marine the home, they remained in
a good state, as long as their Amir's and their leaders used to
come to the bar for whatever they want us to possess. They used to
come to the river now for whatever the VA had. And when they
possessed Sama, which in the coalmine, then a certain group
came up, who went and studied a bit of knowledge. And then they
took that knowledge to gain proximity towards that I mean, of
years and their leaders. So they themselves went to them, you saw
them and he's come to them with all these years to go to them
before now, these new group of pseudo pseudo scholars who learnt
a bit of knowledge, and then when will that to that Amir's all they
wanted to gain by that was worldly was worldly goods was worldly
goods and position plus that entity who are relevant for
stability kumara I will bring them up. And now that means they became
independent of the remember because now they're relevant,
we're coming to them, they didn't have to go to their anima because
now they were despicable, but that is so uncomfortable. So they
became denigrated in the sight of the of the of the Amis because
they say that these people they just want the world they don't do
it for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala was started doing it like I
soldier they also fell in the sight of Allah subhanho wa taala.
So that this was that new generation what have been
delivered?
And if they remember they exercise abstinence from the what that what
the umara possessed, meaning what the what the Phoenician what does
the US have the wrath of alcova Rafi envy him that these clips are
these leaders they would they would loan for the knowledge of
these rhythm well that can America goofy mind that humara but then
they began to long for what the what the amuse had and that's why
he presented to FEMA heard warning him and that's why they became
despicable in their site, the Khalifa said sadaqa you have
absolutely told the truth. Is it even more realistic? Tell me some
more give me some more advice. Audible has him as if he hasn't
had enough advice but he was taking the opportunity and
advantage from this man. He said give me some more advice Oh
housing from our era double Hagerman to affordable enough. I
mean even I've never seen anybody whose wisdom is closer to his
mouth than you. I've never seen anybody with so much more wisdom
than you on his tongue for calling and condemning anesthesia. But
look what you have access to him. He says, Oh Ameerul Momineen. If
you are of the people who respond to nausea, who go and act when
you're told about something like a call to like a Murphy Hickey fire,
then I've already told you sufficient. I've already given you
sufficient advice. If you're of those who acts upon whatever they
told, then whatever I've told you is already sufficient. We're in
London complete. And if you're not one of those people who act on
advice, then
From a young girl at an army and posts in nasarawa, then there is
no point of me trying to shoot arrows from a bow that doesn't
have a string. I'm wasting my time essentially saying I'm wasting my
time. As always, I told you in Afghan act upon that, the Khalifa
said Assam to Africa and to Senia about him. I insist I insist I
impose upon you that you give me some other one. Let's say that you
give me some other advice. He says, okay, so far, we'll see who
it is. I'll give you some more advice and I'll make it brief.
Of the rhombic as urgent What is it who a Yatta hi to hate on the
hug? What are your ballot paper on the masala no one saw. So then he
said, Okay, fine, I'll tell you something. He says, you glorify
your vote. Glorify your role as the Wizard of Oz most majestic and
make us be and make sure that he does not see you from where he has
prohibited you and make sure he doesn't find you absent when he's
told you to be be everywhere that he's told you to be and make sure
that you're not where he's told you not to be. And then after they
said a Salam Alikum any water
any water in the Khalifa St. Joseph Allah I
mean, I live in Nelson.
May Allah reward you abundantly? Such a great advising and
counseling scholar as a will has him had not even reached his house
yet? Where suddenly he found that behind him a man coming home from
home, you know, not being in with a whole sack full of dinner leave?
Not their house. But then I mean, the Nari dinars, these are gold
pieces. They're a silver pieces, a whole site full of gold pieces.
Can you imagine a sack full of gold pieces? What that wouldn't
be? Right. And he had written to him and he said on the on the on
the note itself and fake hot water coming through of caffeine. And he
spent this distributed spender and I've got like this many more for
you. He returned it and he wrote to him in response. Yeah, um, you
know what we need to be learned and according to your husband,
what are the ideas about
listen to this very carefully. This is his final statement. He
says, he wrote that Amelia mumineen I seek refuge in Allah
that you're asking me all of these questions was mockery.
You're asking me all of these questions just turned to mockery
and my response to you being invalidated. For what Allah Heba
Amin removed we need a luck for kafer
Allah,
Allah He I am not even satisfied with you having all of these
things. So why would I be satisfied with me having those
things?
You wanted that all your questions you asked me they just told a
joke? Is that where you're making this out to me?
Y'all, um, you don't want money in Canada, he did not done a need.
They call a hadith he allegedly had took a wiki
filmmaker to what I will finsihed if you have a theory, I mean,
he's a fucking as well. He's a jurist as well. So he's,
everything's calculated in his mind, so he refuses it. And then
he also says that oh Ameerul Momineen. If these dinars are in
lieu of a payment for our meeting, and the discussion that we had,
then a dead a course a disused, and the swains flesh, the flesh of
swine in even in the state of absolute need is more halal for
me. That is
what incarnate How can leave you at Murray Muslim? And if this is
my right from the beta value Muslim, if this is my right from
the general coffers of the Muslims, you know, of the beta,
the general treasury for hunts away the beanie, you have a
message me? If you haven't heard that, have you given everybody
else the same amount as well? Because, you know, he's thinking
well, so you might be saying, well, that's, you're right, due to
you due to every citizen, why did you give everybody else as well?
Now, look at these responses, I think they speak for themselves.
We reflect over them because we can really associate ourselves
with many aspects of these things. Yes, we're not afraid if, but, and
we're not a king or a governor of any sort of like that, but
definitely in every other aspect in terms of the way we live in
this world, the way we approach this world and the Hereafter, and
the general piety, we can really benefit from these things. May
Allah subhanaw taala give us a Tofik May Allah subhanaw taala
raise among us further like this that can counsel us in this manner
and remind us and may Allah subhanaw taala give us that
ability to be reminded like this and you accepted like this king
and this belief accepted it and may Allah subhanaw taala purify
our hearts within this month the robot was
organized
