Well I mean hacking Archaea Anunnaki. Alliance or Homina Dora,
you will ask we will not hear it what Rama T could never watch a
doctor who saw him out of a certain kind of dyadic if he laid
in on a heart and also Jude you know, Haley. So
the other right to one brother over the other is that he should
not forget him in his prayers in his dua for forgiveness,
for pardon for mercy, anytime he finds time.
So part of our dua should be for our friends. It's almost like you
know where one so if you make dua for yourself, you should make dua
for others as well. And there's only benefit if you make dua for
others. There's only benefit if you make dua for others because
according to the Hadith, if you make dua for somebody else, you
also get the like of that
Myrna Rahim hamdulillah or Benard Amin or Salah to a sinner murder
so you didn't know Serena, Florida. He will be here at your
marriage in America. Allah Masha Allah and he continues with the
rights of brotherhood by saying well, I mean, how could it either
it
will be Citral makan? Either Tara Muhammad whole male illovo Who?
Woman I have Bill Hoffa, who are Abdul Huffer, a khulumani. Raja in
a healthy copula who is an in house leader who, for whom a stone
was harder to meanness on a halogen Alia the hulky Illa. And
hood they do resell be in lemmya Fado, Philippine men cetera
McDonough, who had died our Lola who is Hara, who will be lady
Marathi Minho.
This is a bit more complex. And it generally refers to the kind of
ambitious people among us. This is somebody who finds himself finds
in themselves, the ability to speak to people to hold position
among people to be on maybe on boards or leadership positions, or
any other position of that nature. So
they try their best to
gain that position,
some kind of
superiority, influence, and so on, and so forth. So what he's saying
here is that it's the rights of one brother over the other, that
ABC is
inclination of his brother, towards promoting himself
and towards expressing himself
than he should
command him, encourage him and advise him to take it easy, and to
conceal his state. You saying the reason for this is that anybody
who becomes apparent, and this tries to become distinguished
among people, before he has a direct permission, then he is
going to be tested, he is going to undergo a severe challenge. He
could become a laughingstock for the people.
And then he says that generally the earlier, the true friends of
Allah subhanaw, taala, they never
went out and express themselves to the people.
Until they were
warned, by saying that your state of closeness will be removed, if
you don't do so. Essentially, they prefer to remain obscure. And you
get this about number of holier for example, if you read the
biography of Sheikh Abdullah, the other will have done and it says
that
if it had been his choice, nobody would have known him.
That's how he would have preferred it.
So these kinds of people generally only reveal themselves, or are
forced to reveal themselves. So Allah reveals them, others reveal
them
by force in a sense.
Now this is a quite a complicated matter. Because
if you have something that you can help people with, then you should
help them.
I think what all of this boils down to really is the intention.
When you see fame, fame is something that really is a big
attraction. It's a big fitna, it's a big challenge. It's very
pleasurable, to have fame, to be known whenever you go to places.
In one sense, it's a good thing that you will get respect. People
want humiliate you. But then on the other hand, it feels
uncomfortable sometimes.
Sometimes you go to places and somebody says, Oh, I've seen you
before. Maybe you've seen
somebody else. Are you the guy on line? I said, No, I'm right here.
It does feel a bit weird sometimes.
But the main thing that he's speaking about here is to come out
and prematurely. Try to make yourself famous. Ask for
leadership position sometimes. One is, there's an accomplishment.
There's ways to do things. It's needed. And you do it with full
sincerity, alas, that's fine. But the problem here is if something
is done prematurely, it ends up in disaster. It's premature.
That's what the problem is. So he's saying that the architect the
intelligent one is the one who will keep himself concealed until
Allah subhanaw taala. Will.
Allah subhanaw taala takes it. Allah subhanaw taala himself takes
care of revealing the person without any intention on that
person's behalf.
It said that was the tuck youth money moves the fear of money,
both of them, they were prohibited by their shake from taking on any
lectures, any speeches for quite a quite a while. You can't go and
give any public speech. On one occasion, somebody came in and
said that I'd like you to come and speak at this program. And I said,
Sorry, we can't do it. Sheikh said no. The Sheikh was Dr. Abdul hai
Latifi one of the whole of Monash at the time or the laity. So after
the father's death, he was a chef. So anyway, so on that occasion,
what happened is somebody
came one big scholar.
Lot of respect they had for him as well. He came in told one of the
two brothers I can't remember. I think he was moving with the
trophy with Manya Mufti Rafi I think the older brother, so he's a
look, I can't. I will shake you know, because normally I'll tell
you, so he thought the shake is never gonna say yes, but that time
for some reason the Sheikh said you must go and give that you must
go and give that talk. But now mashallah you see there? You know,
first it was let them really prepare themselves. Well.
There's one Hadith that really for anybody in this position, there's
one Hadith that really
is frightening when Samar, Samar, Allahu
Minh Samara, some that Allah will be anybody who wants to be heard,
we will make him to be heard.
Allah subhanaw taala will make him to be heard. If you want to
promote yourself, there's many ways of promoting yourself. The
easiest way is to do something city.
controversial, and you become even more famous. This is the world the
way it is today. This is how the postal people work. So I think the
main thing in all of this is that one needs to be well grounded.
This well grounded and number two intention, intention intention,
this is the biggest challenge the intention part,
then there's a number of pitfalls in this path. One of the pitfalls
is that a person is everybody believes that they are capable.
But for some reason, they really put themselves down and not that
sometimes shaytaan.
So
it's a strange balance. But at the end of the day, it all comes down
to intention, it all comes down to intention.
So the main reason for you can say concerning yourself is to avoid
ostentation, showing off love of fame, and position. That's the
main reason here. That is the main reason here because it's very
detrimental for the heart. That's essentially what the reason is
here. And so you might say, Well, look, if I go out and I do
something, there's either there's benefits.
This is a potential harm. So you've got potential benefits
against versus potential harm, or just say harm versus benefit. And
generally the rule that the fuqaha uses the McPherson, they're all my
first
look at them on
Allah gel bill.
Manifest
to repel.
harms is superior. And yeah, it's superior. And it comes before
attracting benefits. So if there's something in which there's a
possible benefit, but then there's possible harm, then go with
repelling the harm. That's the ruling that you should apply.
That's the maximum that you should apply.
Because sometimes a person will say to themselves, if I become if
I go out there, if I take this position, if I start doing this,
then people will benefit.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
Salam toad.
Abu salah the Allahu Anhu. Yeah about in Ecuador. Ethan.
How was your week? Were in the Amana and this position, it's a
responsibility.
It's a big responsibility. said no man, it's a trust.
Why no one will clear when it hits you when Adama but on the day of
judgment, it will come back on you
as a source of disgrace
as a source of disgrace and remorse in love and ahava be
happier, except the one who takes this position with its rights
fully rightful to take that position, what the law the idea
here and then fulfills the rights that he should be fulfilling once
he's in that position.
Another hadith is to Abdul Rahman Ignatieff or the Allah one the
products that are awesome said yeah Abdurrahman, lettuce, le e,
Mara, don't ask for leadership for indicate output rotita and Miss
Ellerton. Because if you are appointed, you are given it. After
you ask for it after you campaign for it. After the after you
promoted yourself for it, after you nominated or had yourself
nominated for it, then what can tell you later, then it's you and
that position? That's what it means it's you in that position,
then it's depends on how good your prowess is, there's going to be no
there's going to be no assistance from Allah subhanaw taala no Tofik
it's the way you are, then how you deal with it, you're left to the
forces then. But it then he said we're in your theta, belay masala
tin or interlayer. If you were appointed, and given that
position, placed in that position without you asking for it, but
people encouraged you, they considered you the correct one,
and they kind of forced you into it, or really pressured you into
it, then you will be assisted, you will be assisted. So the other
thing is that just as it's not right for a person to put
themselves out there without having the right to do so. And
being worthy of do so doing. So. I mean, even when I'm speaking like
this, I'm frightened. I'm sitting here, doing these lectures for
such a long time. I don't know what my state is, to be honest.
You know, because what is our state, when you see the biggest
scholars and the greatest scholars, that's really what it
is. So I pray to Allah that He forgive me, I pray to Allah that
He, you know, teach me something after having sat here for such a
long time that Allah Allah, give us some with your Baraka, insha
Allah.
But then he says that, if that's bad enough, then he says there's
something even worse, which is to take somebody from, which is to
take from somebody like this, who puts himself up,
which is to take from somebody who's putting himself himself up
prematurely,
which is by supporting him and listening to him and everything
like this, this is even worse. They're not capable, not
competent.
It's less in England, in England, we have a very strong Muslim
social
system in which
people generally cannot get away with murder. In terms of
corruption.
You can't just get any Tom, Dick and Harry to stand up and give a
lot of people are very particular. And the reason why I say this is a
lot of people who have issues with the saying that, you know, some of
our massages are something that if a person doesn't have this big of
a beard, they won't let him on the member. If they don't wear
clothing of this nature, they won't let him on the member. To a
certain degree, that's very good. To a certain degree, sometimes
it's become a bit excessive, right? Where we have issues
sometimes we're in a Hanafi masjid, they want lira Shafi pray,
because they have some weird idea that people will get confused.
Like, it's in their mind, they're getting confused. So they will
stop a Shafi scholar from leading joy, they happen in a big machine.
People will get confused, what's your problem?
Why are they going to get confused? You think people are
stupid or something that they're gonna get confused? You're
confused. You have that sometimes. Right? So sometimes these people
who are managing places they over react, they are over protective as
though they're dealing with children. Like people can't make
their own mind up.
Don't read in the seven karats causes a fitna, you're the fitna
causa, you're the one who's saying causes a fitna, nobody else was
the fitnah.
Do you understand? So there's that now where I was in America before?
Anybody who knows how to speak well
Learn a few Hadith and they become famous
guys a half isn't the Quran only.
But he can speak well he's got a gift of the gab and he becomes a
national scholar. And people listen to them.
When he's somebody spends time
somebody doesn't speak, they just know how to articulate well Allah
has given them some gift of how to speak well, they may be a member
of may have memorized the Quran, or they may have studied a few
Hadith or whatever, know a few things. And then you become a
national speaker.
Just because they speak better than others. They become more
popular and famous and people take make them obviously you don't
become famous without people making you famous fame is all
about people. You can't become famous yourself. If nobody listens
to you, you can't become famous.
You could be plastered in every newspaper, pay for it, you know,
media campaign, millions of pounds of dollars. But if people don't
care, it's going to be useless.
So it's a weird dynamic. It's a weird dynamic. Just because
somebody is popular doesn't mean they're accepted by Allah subhanaw
taala. So both we should think that about ourselves, and we
should think about other people. But then of course, there has to
be a balance we mustn't second guess everybody and doubt
everybody.
We must give people the benefit of the doubt to a certain degree as
well. But that's what he's saying here that it's your right to have
your brother you see him start going beyond this level. You see
your brother going beyond this level advise him.
And subhanAllah there are people who on Masjid boards, and they're
not doing much and I tell them, even if they're close to me, I
said it's your responsibility. You'd rather get yourself off.
Take yourself off. They said, No, we can't do anything. Nobody else
is going to listen. Well then you being there are a liability.
Because you being there, you're taking the space, you can't
influence anybody else you're being there is not really of any
benefit, then why are you therefore
and I don't want to say this. But there are some people who only
come to the masjid for the politics.
There only come to the masjid because their friends are there.
The hotter the politics, more people come.
I had a person I knew who graduated in India, he was from
another country he came to
this was when I was in America, there was a masjid that was
looking for an imam.
And he was told to come. He was told to come. And his meeting was
going to be after I think fajr prayer, something you might say
that's a bit strange, but people are working during the daytime
evenings, after vigil was probably the best time when everybody's not
at work, right? Could it be in any prayer time doesn't matter. He got
there for Fudger nobody there. They all came in after salats. He
said I'm not coming, I'm gonna be here.
He said I can take this job. What kind of thing is is that you guys
come for a meeting, after the federal salobre you don't come to
the salon. Okay, maybe somebody was late or whatever the case. But
this wasn't the case, nobody came, they all came after a federal
circuit.
Intentionally, it seems according to him.
So
if you see your brother doing this, then just advise them that
this is not the right thing for you to do yet. What it does is
that once you become famous or trying to become famous or in
position, there are responsibilities of that of that
stage. There are certain things that are demanded of you know,
what it does is that it takes away from your preparation time it
takes takes away from your development. So you don't develop
as you should do in your basis, you become very good in terms of
public relation, maybe, but you don't have a basis until your base
isn't solid, then it's not really going to be of that that benefit.
If you saw it solidified your base, then you went out, you'd
have much, you'd be much more effective.
If you're so effective right now, you'd be even more effective. Once
you're out there is very difficult to come out. There are certain
international speakers that I know who have said so many times.
That's it I'm of next two years, I'm not going to do anything,
whatever. It's just very difficult not to stay away. Just demand is
very great. And so on and so forth.
Allah help us the next point he makes is women hacking, yada yada
via the other wealthy men either who be lady hacking a mum or dad
to who will bout infidelity Jews kind of a complicated one. That
another right of one brother over the other is that he should
express enmity towards the one who
exercises enmity with your brother.
So you've got a third person who has who is an enemy of your
brother, you should also without right? You know he's expressing
this harbors this enmity against your brother without our rights,
you should also outwardly express it.
I haven't got my head around this one properly yet, but I'm going to
mention it. He says. So outwardly, you should also express enmity
towards this person. Why is he harboring enmity towards your
friend, your close brother.
However, he says, You're not allowed to harbor enmity for this
person inside. You may express it outside just for teaching him a
lesson, but you can't really hate him inside. You can't have that
enmity inside. That is not the juice, the juice, Hatter, I do
wish he did in some larger than we're either to be about him.
So much so that your Sheikh was supposed to be the person that you
really look up to and you know, you have so much for even his
enemy, you should not hate him from inside. You should not have
an enmity for him from inside.
But he has you've either him or her to be either with the fact
that you only express it outwardly to show what kind of despicable
acts that person is doing.
Can I ask anybody who study vermin? All the body should equal
just as it is the same thing to abstain from the one who your
shake is angry with. And this is in following Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam sunnah, when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam was unhappy with the three Sahaba Khabib nomadic and the
other two then he told nobody to speak to them so they also avoided
speaking because there was a certain punishment that was taking
place certain admonition being given to them and this was for
particular measure. The next point he makes his woman happy lucky and
lucky Kumala who either one or the other. But remember in the
previous one, you can't hate somebody just because your friend
hates them for no reason. You have no reason to hate them. And they
hate him so you hate him as well. That's not right. Here you should
then in that case, you should be advising your friend not to feel
like this. Okay, the next point is a akumina who is or what are they
are they you should stand up for your brother becomes
we don't really do to go and open the door anyway. But we should
stand up for your brother to show him welcome when he comes. So it
comes into the house come AV if your child or somebody shows him
in allows him in, it comes in true you should still stand up. It's a
good adult to do so. What Oh, carry her who was Alec last emf in
behalf him. Even if he dislikes that you do that. You should do
it. Especially if it's in a gathering.
Especially if it's in a gathering somebody your close friend comes
you should stand up for them. Because the machete I've said IACA
antithetical to family ileka, Phil Mahaffey.
Beware of not standing beware of abandoning standing up for your
brother, especially in gatherings. Because for obovata well let them
in radical Hikkaduwa Doha
because maybe from that, some kind of acrimony will be created in the
hearts for taxes back the dirty con is Allah tea and after that,
you will, you will be unable to remove that, that feeling from the
heart. Now, this has to be explained a bit.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used to stand up for some
very close people, especially his daughter Fatima, the Allahu anha.
The Prophet sallallahu Sallam used to stand up for her. If he saw her
coming, he would stand up for her.
It's an adorable Morford of human body. It's related there, and the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, whenever he would leave
the Sahaba would
whenever he would leave the gathering in the masjid, to go to
his room,
then, so if he's here, His room is there, when he would leave the
Sahaba would stand.
This is related by bizarre and Behati. Sometimes they may not do
because he disliked people standing up for him.
One very interesting thing is that anybody that the province or
lorrison mentioned that anybody who likes people to stand up for
the mission stand up for him.
Because again, the whole thing comes down to intention. So he
says that
love,
the love for somebody standing up for you. If somebody loves people
to stand up for them, this is going to erase your good deeds
because it's insincerity. It's ostentation.
And
this has got nothing to do with your standing up for them though.
There's two separate issues one is the person shouldn't like people
to stand up for them.
The other one is that we should stand up for people. Do you see
that? So both sides should do their part. This person should not
feel great if somebody stands up for him and could correct the
intention, but we should stand up for people and where he didn't
even know how to be mentioned in his Messiah that once he stood up
for one of the rhythms of Iraq of his time, so that scholars said to
him, don't do this
don't do this later.
And in the Nokia called the water the fever lick even gave him a
hadith he says, like there's a prohibition mentioning Hadith
about this, you shouldn't stand up for people. Right? So
a lot of he says to him, Yeah, fuck it, until mohatta Allah to
him, but
your,
your responsibility, what the Hadith you're referring to there,
that addresses you, in the sense that the address to you is that
you should not prefer this, that you do not love this, and it
doesn't get to your heart. However,
Martin and mohatta be a Neela Akula, mythic. I am not commanded
that I don't stand for people like you. You're commanded that you
don't change your heart and you don't like people to stand up for
you. Right? That's understandable. But I'm not. I'm not also
commanded that I shouldn't stand up for somebody like you. So the
sheikh really liked his answer and he says, Okay, that's a good way
to understand it.
That's why human behavior relates in a short verbal Iman from gab
mnemonic for the Allahu Anhu. That
you know, when after the days were up, where the prophets of Allah
some shun him. Then after that came the day when the Toba was
accepted, his repentance was accepted and Allah subhanaw taala
revealed that acceptance, then he went to the masjid, and then he
says, Mark karma era. julong Minal Ansari, one more hygiene Alito.
That was for karma either you told her to tell her to obey the law.
You heard her so far, honey. Well, Hannah me. He says when I got to
the masjid, told her even obeyed the law, one of the Ashura more
Bashara he got up, ran towards me,
shook my hands and gave me the glad tidings. Nobody else from the
unsolvable hygiene stood up, wanna answer her little her, and I will
never forget this act of tell her that he did. It was so touching.
So this is how you put all of this in perspective about standing up
for somebody. So generally speaking, it shows respect. When
you can't stand the new move a bit. You give some expression, you
just sit there and let somebody come and sit there, it just seems
very cold. And humans, this is how we are. We react to these kinds of
little things.
So it's our responsibility.
Well, I mean, how can up here and alliances are forming, even if we
will not hear it? We're rahmati called lemma watch a doctor who
saw the amount of a certain kind of data GFI leading on a heart and
also Jude in a hearing. So
the other right of one brother over the other is that he should
not forget, forget him in his prayers in his dua, for
forgiveness,
for pardon for mercy, anytime he finds time.
So part of our dua should be for our friends. It's almost like you
know where one so if you make dua for yourself, you should make dua
for others as well. And there's only benefit if you make the offer
others there's only benefit if you make the offer others because
according to the Hadith if you make the offer somebody else you
also get the like of that. And sometimes we may make dua for
somebody else about something which didn't come to mind for
ourselves but Allah subhanaw taala give us that as well. Plus making
dua for others and they have mercy we're going to be interacting with
such people there's more mercy around us it benefits us as well.
So this is a selfish take on this as well if you want to. But that's
not the reason we do it for the more we do our we make for others
around us that they stay healthy and Mubarak can motorhome and so
on and so forth, then we get the benefit of it as well. If
everybody's making the offer others as well.
We're living in a content world aren't we? We have to do our part.
So that the club's work right, and the reactions are correct. If we
spoil the system, then the reaction is also corrupt. You will
corrupt something else, Allah protect us. So whether this is
night or day, remember them in your DUA and he says whether it's
in sujood or otherwise, because Shafi is they have this they are
allowed to make
in any sujood
for the Hanafis our sujood is
dua in sujood is only allowed in sunnah and knuffel prayers in
nonfat press.
Otherwise, it's McLuhan, that
Other prayers and that should be in Arabic not in your local
language
it's mcru in any other language as well. So by inserting Allah for
praise you can make dollars from the Quran and so on and so forth
in your Roku and such that there's there's great benefits in doing
okay, there he's got another few short ones here. I mean how kill
archaeologia He Allah did Allah He another right of one brother over
the other which is a given right, which is what you shouldn't have
that crimini for them shouldn't have a criminal in your hearts for
them. Hadith mentioned Salah men couldn't Nephi find Allahu Akbar
Allahu masu Alaric there are three things which they find in a
person, Allah will forgive everything else but those three
things. Man Mata la Isha could be like a shaman.
When you consider him to be the Sahara, well, I'm happy to add a
three. One is, whoever dies, having no ship. Ship essentially
is one problem. The next problem is doing magic, sorcery.
As I say, this, Jadoo right off the bat, the black magic.
And going to other magicians like that, while the other
magicians are not what you see in books, you know, with the hats and
the sticks. And these can be normal people who just know these
really dirty things that they've studied somewhere passed on from
somebody else.
And number three, which is what he's talking about here is what
you do not have this acrimony
in your heart for your brother. You carry it with you all the
time. Every time you think of him. You think of this, he did this to
me.
He did that. He's like, this is such a polluted thought that is
like how long can you keep that thought in your heart for some
people become used to it? They love thinking that way. In fact,
if they probably had a day without that kind of thought it'd be
what's going on today. It's a sunny day today. You know?
I just don't understand I would hate it you know for me if I if I
have this feeling about somebody I just can't wait to overcome it.
Because there's no life. You don't have time to have these thoughts
and feelings Allah protect us.
You know, you learn a lot when you're an imam. You can't have
this people are going to speak about you all the time. You can't
get angry.
Doesn't doesn't help.
They can't do your job then. The tone the machete, they say
coolamon Karna endo Higdon Alma karuna, Hadiya tuna volitionally.
I had a mineral hulky for our conservatory, Philco, anybody
who's serious about reaching Allah subhanho wa taala, who is on the
path, but then he has this in their heart. One brother told me
he says, and this could come from anywhere. But he said, my wife,
wonderful. But I may fear my fear that on the Day of Judgment,
what's going to take her down is the bad thoughts that she harbors
in her heart for people she can't take it out.
This is I'm just giving us an example not saying that women are
inclined to do that. Men are inclined to do that as well. But
it says that this was just an observation. A friend of mine
mentioned about his wife. He said you know I can't I have no fear
about her except this fact and I feel that it's going to take her
down got this fear and that's where you call true companions to
have the right fear about your brother so that you can you're
close on so that you can advise them right he says that anybody
who holds this kind of acrimony hard feelings, deception, plotting
for anybody then that person is a liar he is not on the true path.
You can't be on the path of getting closer to Allah subhanaw
taala and so look, if you have these thoughts in your heart well
a user in your corner there Ian Hill Allah this person should not
be a daring to Allah. This person should not be a dare II to Allah
is a hypocrites.
You have to sort your inside out from these things person could be
committing Zina understandable, but this is very dangerous. They
both bad. When we have killed archaeologia he either had death.
Just going back to the to r1 Struma. The Imam Ahmed even are
humble mentions mark he says my bit to Mondo fella Athena Sen.
Illawarra and Rudy Sheffy. What a stuff you're alone.
In a way Imam Shafi is so famous and what he did, despite the fact
that he died at a very young age.
Right. He died at a very young age 54 I think or 53 Around the age
right. I think it's already one lakh was due after him his student
in my life and it says that I haven't slept for 30
yours meaning I don't go to sleep for the whole jury for for 30
years I have not slept except after making dua for Imam Shafi
and seeking forgiveness for him when you got people like you're
making dua for you for 30 years as a South Africans would say, right
for 30 years and can you imagine
that's true friendship. That is true companionship that even after
they've gone you making dua for them
for so many years Allah the next one thing the next rate of one
brother over the other is that either to have a use case or be a
boss I really had diafra I mean Hadith II when your friend is
talking, which could be for anybody but when your friend is
talking especially and make sure you look at him
paying attention face in his direction.
Well Kakadu er commented You know, for in America and see if you
suffer in murder, this will increase the purity of your love.
Come out under the law he and Hadith and Oh, Kalani Coppola.
It's Miami eautiful Jaffa
just as
being heedless, ignoring, not caring about your brother's speech
when he's talking to you're kind of doing something else today? On
your phone? Kind of like just Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Oh, sorry. What
do you see? That's what happens in it. Oh, but economy.
All by constantly cutting his speech before he finishes
interrupting him. Some people can't help interrupting.
What happens? Some people and they should recognize they don't have
an evil intention. But what it is, is that you start speaking, and as
soon as they hear a few words, they relate to it. And they react
to it immediately. They don't let you finish. They want to get their
word in. And it's not like they have a bad intention. They just
can't help it. They can't help putting their two cents into it.
So they need to train themselves to stop and listen first.
I've got a student like this mature student, he just can't help
it. And I know that so you start speaking and it sparks something
and he just says something.
It creates a criminal if that happens anyway.
Well, I mean, happy lucky either lucky Elia Alliander. He know,
it's another right of one brother over the other is that you
shouldn't test your brother.
Don't put them under tests. It's not your job to do an MOT each
year.
Right. A roadworthy test is the economy in some countries. So in
that empty Hanuman Jin Jin Z cash flower never thought about it that
way. Testing somebody is from the same category as uncovering the
nakedness
to see is it alright? It is doesn't have any scars underneath
does he?
He is circumcised isn't he? That's kind of like the extreme form of
it.
What color do the machete have said a year common term that you
know if wanna come beware of testing your brothers. Because in
the law and I am taking a bird the whole in, in animal welfare.
Because even ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada only tests his servants, when he
knows full well that they will be able to fulfill it.
That's how it has a worker, sorry, Ibrahim Ali Salam, and then
unthankful Anthon. Those who are close those who are close, they're
the ones who get tested people like you and I don't get tested.
Right.
And sometimes you wonder when there is no tests that are even
close to Allah subhanaw taala that there is no test but we ask Allah
for IVF we ask Allah for well being
and safety and security, because we can't deal with tests.
But that's what it is. Kala Ujjwala whom be in hottie Makana,
Cassia and Endo. So Allah subhanaw taala doesn't even test people
like that, right? So that he doesn't embarrass them by
revealing that which is uncovered.
So don't test your brothers. Just keep it as it is. You'll be happy
that way.
Joaquina little Cobra. Cobra is a sheikh whose name was Nigel Dean
Amadou Nura Marina Mohamed el cobre
was a major shake up this time who
went and traveled to numerous places. And eventually he settled
in Hawaii. Hawaii, is about in the northern parts of Uzbekistan, the
high desert valley there, and he was very bold. He didn't care
about anybody when he had to speak the truth. He was known for that.
So he's, the sheikh refers to him and says, somebody said to him,

tiangco There's a bit of a complicated one. So a bit of a
complicated one. What he's saying here is that every time your
brother goes away, you know, leaves you for whatever reason,
you should prepare to meet him for the next time with a lot of honor
and reverence. And he says, you know, even if this is for a short
time, the reason for this is that you should feel that Allah
subhanaw taala has blessed him in his absence with you, he's just
raised the status, he has just become other higher status. So I
need to respect him for that he says that if that is the case,
then you what you're doing then by that you live fulfilling is right.
And if that's not the case, then you still it's good that you have

BG Darren,
this is another one to avoid suspicion and to avoid aggravating
an already difficult matter. He says one another right of one
brother over the other is that when he sees him doing something
that is unfavorable wrong.
In decent, then he should, then then he didn't see him again, then
he should believe he should believe in his mind that he's made
Tober.
You saw him? Oh, he's made Toba afterwards. And that he has been
remorseful and some of the sort of stuff used to say in Neela esteem
in Allah He had up to October to and chefs in I saw Rhonda who we
have the Rottie.
Some of the some of us to say that I feel embarrassed in front of
Allah subhanho wa Taala that I prevent somebody's Toba
who has disobeyed his lord in front of me. And then after that
he is
after that he went behind the wall. So once he's gone, our hope
should be that he's made Toba. Of course, if you see somebody often
doing something that it's our responsibility to advise them. So
this isn't that we become totally blind and never, but you don't
jump to conclusions straightaway about people all the time. You
give them the benefit of the doubt. Okay, we'll do one more
point here. I mean, happy Lucky. Lucky. Yeah, for that. Yeah.
Father would the who were in Hana who was over what are at and then
with

in the hot tub, which is

Once I saw my lord in my sleep, I said, Yeah, Allah yellow, Oh, my

whoever acts with goodwill, towards one who acts with bad will
towards you, then he has been sincere in his thanks to Allah
subhanaw taala.
Whoever acts with badness towards somebody who acts with goodness
towards them, then
he has changed the name of Allah into Cofer into ungratefulness
because that's counterproductive. It's wrong. So I said, You're a
big ask me. For cada has said that's enough. That's enough. I'll
just try to act on that much.

Well, I mean, how can you add an ally, I'm gonna give you a fair
idea who this one is a very important one. Listen to this very
carefully. This one's a very important one.
And if you're on the receiving end of this, it's just so despicable.
It's so mean. And it's so embarrassing. Another writer, one
brother over the other is that he remind him of the good that he's
done for him. He reminds him of the favor he's done for him,
especially when they have an argument.
So they're having an argument, something happened in the store.
And I have done all of this good for good things for you. Remember,
I did this for you. I did this when speaking like this to me.
So that person has forgotten. So you remind them of it, find that
the current roofie Phil will have some of your own word on either
either mill is a philosophy. For you to remind somebody
during an argument, a quarrel
of the good that you've done for them, is essentially the subject
of having no sincerity is just the signal of having no sincerity.
That's why you remain if you did that, for Allah, it should be end
of story. It's done and dusted. You've got your reward from Allah,
what the lien on Allah, his subtle hustle. This is a proof of your,
your your core, your essence, being lowly, you're not a
dignified individual inside, that you can come up. This is what you
think of that time. This is what you think of at that time. I
remember once there's a case where one brother
assisted somebody else and defended him in front of others.
Now, these two arguing
and for this brother, when he kind of didn't have much else to say,
he said to him, that you also said so and so about me to somebody
else, which was favorable. But because
it was a defense, in all honesty, and in all goodwill. He was using
that to say that, although that was not maybe 100%. Correct. So
now this person is thinking that I defended him in front of them.
Maybe I was a bit misunderstanding of the full part. But I defended
him. And now he's using that same defense against me when it was for
his benefit. Now that is what you call his subtle, awesome
meanness of essence, the inside is rotten.
That's what it is, for in a playable awesome lay among them we
refer to humara human on my roof, because the person who has got an
excellent and good and noble essence, that person will never
remind their brother of any good that they've done for them. Billy
Harold formula lithological Akela, the Accola in the whole method and
are cobalamin who ideas and, in fact what they will think is that
it's his excellence that he came and ate with me. Not that I fed
him, you know what is he accepted my food, that to believe that is
better than say I fed him? I took you out to eat. I gave you this
much money I gave you my daughter, you know whatever people say these
days, you know, like he took
it's his it's a he's the honorable person or that he accepted my
gift.
Had Hadith in a hadith I mentioned that the Thalassa two lions are
Allah who led me on Mauna Kea there'll be three people who Allah
subhanaw taala will not look at on the Day of Judgment while I use a

So it's almost like he's not going to forgive them because he doesn't
purify them on Day of Judgment then what? Right? One of my other

Okay, I don't think we can do more than a few each week because it's
not about doing a lot. It's more about reflecting over and
hopefully bring it in our life. So I kind of noticed that after a
few.
That's all you can do. I think, I don't think we can act faster than
that.
Right? We can act faster than that.
So may Allah subhanaw taala help us and assist us.
The point of a lecture is to encourage people to act to get
further an inspiration and encouragement, persuasion. The
next step is to actually start learning seriously to read books
to take on a subject of Islam and to understand all the subjects of
Islam at least at the basic level, so that we can become more aware
of what our deen wants from us. And that's why we started Rayyan
courses so that you can actually take organize lectures on demand
whenever you have free time, especially for example, the
Islamic essentials course that we have on there, the Islamic
essentials certificate which you take 20 Short modules and at the
end of that inshallah you will have gotten the basics of most of
the most important topics in Islam and you'll feel a lot more
confident. You don't have to leave lectures behind you can continue
to live, you know to listen to lectures, but you need to have
this more sustained study as well. JazakAllah Heron salaam aleikum wa
rahmatullah wa barakato.
