Some years ago, in one of the countries in Asia, there was a
clamp down. Suddenly, on the streets, you had all of these
really expensive, exquisite cars being abandoned in the capital
neurons. And nobody wanted them anymore. They started abandoning
them. Because there was major accountability that was taking
place, there was a kind of an upheaval, of sorts. So you can
imagine that what may be a point of luxury at one time suddenly
becomes a liability and you're suddenly abandoning one of these
cars. In this country, it's difficult to do that because
everything is registered, but in certain countries, you can have
many assets without any form of registry, or registration or any
form. So that's how that kind of a thing is possible. So he is saying
you have zero nurse Well, I have their own people will be in huge
amount of terror on the day but these people will be not in
terror. They'll be relaxed, first class VIP service, on the Day of
Judgment. Just because a person is spending their faith spending
their life with love for the right kind of people for the sake of
Allah subhanaw taala not for any ulterior motive. That's the beauty
here. There is no selfishness in this. It's all for the sake of
Allah.
Smilla Rahmanir Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa Salatu
was Salam ala Murthy Ramadan Delilah. Meanwhile, he will Safi
your Baraka was seldom at the Sleeman cathedral. Eli Omidyar
been a maverick. I love a Shaolin in, in this work of his he's
compiling a number of narrations from the Zulu allah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam Hadith about the virtues of
good company.
And that's what we're looking at today. Insha Allah, the virtues of
good company.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Man, I have the
Coleman Hershey rafizi, Marathi him, anybody who loves a
particular group of people, he will be gathered among them on the
Day of Judgment. So if a person loves people who
something as extreme as who sell drugs, somebody thinks that that's
the way to make the money. That's the way to make a quick living.
A person can buy all of these flashy clothing and cars and
things like that when a person gets used to these kinds of
things. So he may come from a family who was very religious and
was very disciplined and may not allow him to go into there's no
way he can go off the track as such. But secretly, he desires to
be like that, or somebody's at work. And he finds that there's
many people at work, who go and spend a lot of their money in the
happy hours in the evenings, spend it in the pubs and in the bars and
things like that womanizing and drinking and things of that
nature. And although they don't do that, because culturally, that's
not acceptable for them. And they have an inhibition. But they feel
like they wish they could do that. They wish they lived in another
area, they're waiting to make more money so that they can move out of
this area so that they wouldn't be caught doing that. These are just
some various different complex ideas that could come in people's
minds. So to have a secret desire to be like someone.
That's what this is speaking about. So likewise, on the
positive side, we try our best to be righteous and pious and God
fearing and people of Taqwa. But when we listen to the stories of
the Sahaba, the 13th afternoon, the Maasai, from the great
scholars in the cell of Salah heme thereafter, we feel we can't reach
that status. But we have this love for them. We like to listen to
their stories. We like to listen to their accounts and their
narratives, and we feel like, I wish we could be with them. So
that's a very positive and a very pious, very beneficial desire
because the Prophet sallallahu sallam said, whenever a person
loves a group of people, though he may not be able to be like them,
that he will be gathered in sha Allah on the Day of Judgment among
them. So having that kind of love is very beneficial. Indeed,
another narration as well, which is related from Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is again this is all related by
Mantovani, Imam top Ronnie, and other Hadith releases in lillahi.
Al Motta have built a motor hub una Villa Heafy Lily hola Yo La
Villa in La Villa. Those people who love each other for the sake
of Allah subhana wa Tada will be in the shade of Allah on the day
when there is no shade except Allah shades. Allah Manabi renewer
so they won't just be in the shade, but they will be given an
additional position which is they will be on raised platforms made
up lights. They will be given special raised plot
terms, stages made of lights, you have zero nurse while I have zero
people will be on that day in terror, because of just the
situation of the day. So people will be in terror on the day, but
they will not be in terror.
Some years ago, in one of the countries in Asia, there was a
clamp down. Suddenly, on the streets, you had all of these
really expensive, exquisite cars being abandoned in the capital
neurons. And nobody wanted them anymore. They started abandoning
them. Because there was major accountability that was taking
place, there was a kind of an upheaval, of sorts. So you can
imagine that what may be a point of luxury at one time suddenly
becomes a liability and you're suddenly abandoning one of these
cars. In this country, it's difficult to do that because
everything is registered, but in certain countries, you can have
many assets without any form of registry or registration, many
forms. So that's how that kind of thing is possible. So he is saying
you have zero NAS? Well, I have their own people will be in huge
amount of terror on the day that these people will be not
interested, be relaxed, first class VIP service on the Day of
Judgment. Just because a person is spending their faith spending
their life with love for the right kind of people for the sake of
Allah subhanaw taala not for any ulterior motive. That's the beauty
here. There's no selfishness in this. It's all for the sake of
Allah. Another narration which is from Toblerone as well in that
Allah He a burden lays will be Ambia What are Shahadat Allah
subhanho wa Taala there's certain servants of his who are not
prophets, neither are they martyrs. They're not destined to
die as martyrs. Now they have the date as Martin Jacobi ELB to
Hoonah BU and over shahada, Ala Moana ZeeVee him were called to be
him in Allah, but on the day of judgment, even the prophets
and the shahada, the prophets and the martyrs will envy them because
of their special place status and closest to Allah subhanaw taala.
The ramen homea Rasool Allah that raises huge amount of curiosity,
who are these people who even prophets and martyrs who are the
highest category of believers we have, they will feel envious of
them. Who are they are US will Allah call the NASA Wimbledon in
Chapter these are people from different countries, different
places, living docile Boehner, whom are Hammam motorcar, Eva,
they have no kinship between them. There is no blood connection
between these people, the Habu Fila, but they get together and
they love each other for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala what Asafa
who and when they meet they mix Mustafa they shake hands with each
other, the other Allah who love them Yokoyama, Munna Abirami newer
in Kodama rushman for you today so whom Allah, Allah subhanahu wa
taala will place for them on the Day of Judgment, these high these
high and raised seating places or platforms on which to sit made of
light in front of a Rockman in front of the Most Merciful One and
Allah subhanho wa Taala will seat them on there, you have zero NAS
Wallah, you have zero. And this is the time when people will be in
huge amounts of terror but they will not have any terror. They
will not have any grief they will not grieve. People will grieve but
they will not grieve. Now this is something very important to
understand this hadith underscores the universal brotherhood of Islam
and SubhanAllah. Yes, we have our problems. And yes, the Muslim
world is currently on fire. And there are people killing one
another, and so on and so forth. And there are people fighting with
one another, and quarreling with one another, whether it's to do
with the moon issue or the timing issue or whatever it may be, but
still there is a universal brotherhood. There is no other
religion right now, in such a huge large number. With such diverse
ethnicities and backgrounds and cultures that when you see another
Muslim you say a Salam or Aleikum, suddenly there's a melting that
takes place. Suddenly, there's a bonding that takes place wherever
you go, whatever a person may harbor in their hearts, however
evil a person is soon as you do that to someone even brothers,
suddenly, there is a connection. So recently, we went when we were
in Senegal, so we are British, of Indian heritage, sitting together
with an individual who's from the African heritage, I think he's his
wall of his tribe. And there's a number of other people sitting
there. He's our host, we've been taken to him by a common friend of
ours. And we're sitting there, we've just met him within the
hour, within the hour, and he puts food forward, a large tray of
couscous, you know, cracked wheat or whatever it is. And there's a
number of other things
Apart from some different African countries like Chad and other
places who are sitting there as well, and suddenly we all sit
together and we eat from the same place. And this is with somebody
you only met an hour ago. Where would somebody share a plate with
somebody else? It's unheard of people don't share plates with
their friends today, in this in our culture here. But there, we're
all eating from that large tray with our hands, not even with
spoons
of multiple ethnicities, just because and the only reason we're
meeting each other is because I believe in Allah and he believes
in Allah. We believe in Muhammad salallahu Salam and so does he.
When we went to visit another scholar in the capital of
Mauritania, Nawaz Sharif is very old. He said, The reason you've
come to visit me is because for the sake of Allah, and that's why
I'm I'm seeing you today, we have no other connection. So this is
what this is underscored by there's no blood connection.
There's no blood connection, but we love each other for the sake of
Allah. And subhanAllah Allah has given us this ability in this
country by being here in this cosmopolitan situation with the
various tribes, various backgrounds, cultures,
ethnicities, languages, cuisines that people come from. Like right
now in this room, we have people from various different countries
who are sitting here for the sake of the deen in sha Allah. So may
Allah subhanho wa Taala also make us a recipient of this great
dignity. And this great honor that is that is mentioned here. Now
another thing to clarify. Another another place like this I've seen
is when you go for Attica,
to an international location, you have people from literally 50
Different countries down there, they've all come purely for the
sake of Allah subhanaw taala.
spending their money and traveling purely for the sake of Allah, you
go for Ramadan, you go for Hajj, you go for HDMI, to wherever that
mean donkey in, in Bangladesh, or whether it be enlivened in
Pakistan or wherever else, you go for these kinds of conferences, or
these kinds of programs together, no blood connection between you.
You go there for the sake of the deen, if that's your reason, not
for business, not for just anything else. But for Halal
networking, to get to know other brothers for the sake of Allah
subhana wa Tada
then Insha Allah, this is the case, people, the prophets, and
the martyrs will
envy these people. Now, a question that a valid question that arises
here is that prophets and martyrs, envying these people that prophets
and martyrs are the highest of the high? They are the elite. So why
do they envy, I thought about this for a while, sometimes what
happens is,
you are in a privileged position,
you are in a privileged position, you've got many, many privileges
at your disposal.
But
there are a group that's under you, or on the side who have been
given a different position in all, comprehensively looking at it, you
are in a higher position, they're in a lower position. But for some
reason, you're attracted to the particular privilege that they've
been given.
There's a certain part that they enjoy in which you can have access
to as well. But because that's maybe the only access they have,
it seems much more focused. Whereas we have access to many
different things. Sometimes that happens. So you look and you feel
envious, but then you look back at yourself and you feel hamdulillah
Allah has given me as well. So it's not kind of a jealous envy.
But it's that positive envy that we're speaking about here. Oh,
wow. I thought were the only ones who would get this. But look,
they've got that and that's so special, that looks so special, it
just looks so great for them.
So Allah knows best because at the end of the day, the the martyrs
and the prophets, they are the highest of the high. But sometimes
what you can have is that you can have certain for thy likeness
certain individual virtues, which really stand out like that, and
may make other people envious. But regardless of that state,
regardless of the situation, it's it's something that we can
definitely hope for. When we feed others, when we the best way to
get through to people is by feeding one another, to just have
relationship with one another for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala.
The next hadith is also from taba, Rani, where he says that a sort of
allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said layabout and Allahu Akbar
minyama.
Allah subhanho wa Taala will resurrect a group of people on the
Day of Judgment everybody is going to be resurrected this particular
group and they resurrect
he will do he hear him and know that have liked their faces will
be illuminated light on their faces. Allah Amana Bureau Look
Look they will be
He on stages made of pearl
Allahu Akbar. I wonder how that's going to be seating places made of
pearl pure pearl. Lace will be Ambia Allah shahada is maybe
speaking about the same people because again these people are not
people who are prophets or martyrs. Determine whom who are
these people. You're a swell Allah. Al Maha buena Villa people
who love one another for the sake of Allah mencoba Illa Shatta Wale
Vida didn't shatter from different tribes
and from different countries. Yes them your own Allah Vickery, la
youth karuna, they come together they gather together to remember
Allah. So this one specifically speaks about coming together to
remember Allah subhanho wa taala. And they remember him, like
aitikaf gatherings, much of this gatherings like this lectures by
yawns we're getting together with brothers who are not from our own
tribe. See, this is very pertinent, less pertinent for us.
We don't see the significance. And I mentioned that is mentioned
here, because we live in a cosmopolitan society, our family
is everybody else. Whereas when we come from a village, the only
people you really know relate to speak to trust, walk around with
and sit with are people from your tribe generally. It's kind of
unusual to sit with other people. But in a cosmopolitan society,
this is made up for us and hamdulillah it's much easier now
the only thing that is required is Subhan. Allah in the West, that's
the case for all of us. This is an yes we have a fitna in the West.
So we have challenges. But this is an a blessing. If we have the
correct intention. So the only thing that remaining for us to do
is to have the right reason for sitting with people. The right
reason for gathering with people. Ramadan is a wonderful time to
correct our intention because there's less of a insinuation of
the shaytaan to try to corrupt our intention. So may Allah subhanaw
taala help us and grant us these great virtues and benefits that
are mentioned here.
He also relates him on top ironic also relates from the Zulu Allah
salAllahu Alaihe Salam in the village under the horrifying Euro
the WHA hoo ha min bowtie Neha, what Baba means our hadiah at the
Hala who didn't want to have been a fee well Mutasa within a fee for
when motiva Zelena fee. Now
Rasulullah sallallahu sallam said that in Jannah there are certain
chambers, rooms places you are otherwise he will have been
boutonniere the external
parts can be seen from the insides and the inside can be seen from
the outside.
Now, you might say they are privacy, there are privacy
concerns here.
This is not speaking about that. This is beyond the privacy
concern. This is
craftsmanship. This is Master design.
The only thing that I can think about that I can relate to is how
architects today I tried to create an inside out design, for example,
there is the the Lloyds building, I think that's what it is where
and then there's there's a Guggenheim museum somewhere where
they've got all of the plumbing and everything shown on the
outside, just kind of this really weird idea. And I'm sure this is
not that this is highly elaborate and more complex. It's in Jannah.
So it's not something that minds can fathom anyway, you would never
see the beauties of the like of this as the promise that was
explained. But I'm just trying to give ideas of kind of complex,
strange and unusual ideas. So this will be Allah subhanaw taala has
pre prepared these for the people who love each other for the sake
of Allah, those people who visit each other for the sake of Allah,
and those people who exert themselves who go out of their
way, put some effort behind one another, to help one another.
That's what it's about to put some eggs to help one another, to put
yourself into some kind of burden to help somebody else to take upon
oneself this difficulty to help somebody else they will get this
Imam Bazar and Abu Sheikh they relate from Abu Huraira the Allahu
Anhu sort of Lhasa or some said in the field Jannetty la rumo then
Mihnea accouting la hora form film in the budget law boom of a Taha
to the camera up on cover kibou dery corner ya rasool Allah Mejia
screw her Carla al moto hub una Villa while moto burrito in a
villa while Nutella Hakuna Villa harmony ahaadeeth we had last
session this session about love for the sake of Allah Allah for
the sake of Allah. If only Muslims can listen to these Hadith more
often it will create an impact
Because the more you hear something more you hear one day it
will create that impact. And then our internecine warfare, wars and
killing and quarrels and problems can be alleviated to a certain
degree when a person does things for the right reason. So this
hadith
relates to in Jana, there are pillars, supports,
pillars and supports made out of Yakut, which is Sapphire. Now know
when the last time you've seen a sapphire stone, but if you
actually look at a sapphire stone carefully, it's a really nice,
shiny, sparkling blue, there's some hygiene, it's not like every
blue is not the same, every blue object is not the same. And when
you've got a sapphire, which is a precious stone, there's just
something strange about it, something very alluring about it
that drives our senses. You know, it's just like, if I look at Wood,
it's not the same thing as a sapphire. So this is where the
pillars and the supports are made of the Sapphire. And they have
more often so imagine the chambers on top of these pillars, if the
pillars are made of sapphire. Right? Then imagine the chambers
on top of that the chambers on top of that are made of zebra jet.
zabar jet is generally translated by people as an emerald. But this
is a very specific type of emerald, which is specifically
found on an island called Zebra jet. I'm not sure exactly how to
say that, but it's called the Green Peridot. So it's a very
special green Peridot
ornament or other stone
law.
It's got doors that are open.
Again, no privacy concerns because it's it's a massive, it's not one
chamber, you know, in in like streets of London, where terraced
houses so if you've got your window open or your door open,
everybody can see inside. This is speaking about high levels of for
example, the these wealthy people who, when they buy a house, they
literally in Florida and California and other places, they
will then go and try to buy up all of the estates, not the houses,
the estates around it, so they can have their privacy, like you got
no neighbors than you are your own neighbor. Right. So really a
biggest state anyway, they will actually buy out four or five
different estates. I think this is what Bill Gates did. In Washington
State, this is what he did, he just bought out everything around
him. So he doesn't have any neighbors. His neighbors are like
far away, a little town in on its own. So this is what we're
speaking about. So don't think of this as London, right, you know,
terraced houses, something like that. You leave the doors open, a
blob of data, saying that the doors are open.
To the Okemah elite will come with the RE they will sparkle as the
sparkling as the sparkle of this shimmering star Kwinana sulamani
escucha we ask the artist will Allah who's going to be living in
these homes Carlota ha buena villa, people who love each other
for the sake of Allah, those who spent for the sake of Allah on
each other, and those who meet each other for the sake of Allah
subhanaw taala.
meeting somebody for the sake of Allah, you've got to sometimes we
have big scholars that visit. So you go to visit them purely for
the sake of Allah, what else do you you're not gonna get anything
out of them. They're not giving us other cards.
They're not giving out money. You want to get that and sometimes
they're so busy, and there's so many people that all you're gonna
do is really see him. Sometimes you might get a handshake, and
that's it. But these are the reasons that there's benefit in
even that. And Muslims do this anyway. Believers do this anyway.
This case is in India and Pakistan, it didn't happen as much
here. But you know, trains as they go, they're very long trains, 24
hour train journeys, 36 hour train journeys, you know,
what will happen with certain great of the Maasai who are
traveling not very often, and they're going through another
province or whatever, people will gather at the station, that
station is going to be a stop for three minutes.
You know, some of the big stations sorted station in Gujarat or
something Ahmedabad or, you know, Brodo, whatever, you know, that
people will gather there in their hundreds, and the shake will just
look out of the window. It's like celebrity culture, you know, in
that sense, but we've got a reason for this. We're getting something
out of this because there's a sort of benefits in being in the
company of the pious, the mercy descends at that time. Not when
you're in the company of us, just as, you know, a worldly superstar
musician or something like that, where you can just have bragging
rights that I attended a concert right
Subhanallah
there's a there's a whole difference between those two
things. What about Elon or Rui? Raja Imam tell me the Imam Timothy
relates and he says is a Hadith has been so he called Allah with
data and would have been if he Jelani the whom Munna been renewed
Yahweh, shahada
that Allah subhanaw taala says, Those people who love each other
for my for my greatness, they love each other because of my
greatness. They recognize that this love is coming from my
greatness. For them are the seeds of light, the prophets and the
martyrs will envy them. A mountain media also relates Omar Omar Iman
Hebda Well, the Houma tesab A person will be with whom he loves
on the Day of Judgment. This is a wonderful Hadith. And the reason
is that when the Sahaba heard this, it's narrated from
unassuming nomadic Radi Allahu Anhu. Now you you know the Sahaba
they had
they have a very special status they said that
he says that your frog will be heard of Hadith Farahan al
Lehmann.
They got so excited by this hadith, a person will be with whom
he loves on the Day of Judgment, they got so happy with this hadith
says from Alfred Burdell, Islam in Farhana, the Cody record for in a
coma.
After the fact that we're happy about faith, because if we didn't
have faith, we couldn't have one of the bliss of the hereafter. So
that's our basic essential honor. said after Islam, we were never
happy with anything greater than when we were told that you will be
with whom you love.
Because now we have something to hope for now it wasn't it wasn't
just about our actions. But it was also about our emotions and
feelings. Of course, emotion feelings have to be in this way
the Hadith mentions whether who mateesah And for him is what he
has earned. So you can only love people, truly and genuinely if you
have a true desire. And if you have a true desire, you will
generally put into practice as well.
Very few people you will probably find who absolutely have no
practice but have a great love. Right, there's still some hope for
them, no doubt, because that love is a very beneficial thing. But
actions according to intentions. Intentions are very valuable. But
the promises and didn't say intentions are just valuable. But
actions that according to intention, so action has to be
there. But if we have a shortcoming in our action, our
intention will make up for it.
But there has to be some kind of efforts to a certain degree. Even
Timothy also relates so that a man could Nephi he was at a Hala hotel
Iman, there are three things if they found three qualities.
If you have those qualities, if you develop those qualities, you
will taste the sweetness of faith,
you will have the sweet taste of faith, you have faith, but we
don't have the sweet taste of faith.
You know sometimes
you eat foods sometimes just tastes better than other times you
go to a certain restaurant jungle Briar, whatever it is, sometimes
it tastes nice, sometimes it doesn't.
Sometimes it tastes nice, sometimes it doesn't this has to
be something in the air, there has to be some kind of ritual about
it. There has to be just the right kind of components coming
together. So here is saying that you will have faith. But what if
we had it where each time you went to eat the you really really and
thoroughly enjoyed it, like really and thoroughly enjoyed it. So
likewise, every time we did something for our faith, we really
enjoyed it and it didn't seem like a task.
It's all Allah's blessing that in these long 19 and half 19 hour
fasts, Allah still gives us the ability to function.
You know, on a normal day, if you haven't eaten for 10 hours, what
what becomes your state, you don't get that coffee in the morning you
can't work properly. But for some reason in Ramadan, Allah subhanaw
taala has made the human being in such a way that the mind the
emotion, the feeling that dread, everything just falls together to
be able to do it. Ask any diabetic, you know, doesn't have
his sugar or food for a while he's going to have low blood sugar,
he's going to be shaking. But in Ramadan, suddenly a lot of
diabetics except maybe the extremists, they will deal with
it. It can it's nothing but Allah subhanaw taala has grace and mercy
and the sophistication by which he created the human being. But that
human being that sophistication comes into play when you've got
the faith that's attached to it. That faith allows all of these
different receptors of the body to come into motion to be in that
mode, survival mode in a sense
That's the one thing that you know, we don't need for to us to
say that you, you know, you can shorten your day of fasting and
just go by time we don't need those. In fact, in that BBC
interview that was mentioned that the scholar is trying to make it
easy for the people and people are saying it's okay, we don't need
it, we get used to it. And these are normal people, not scholars
who are saying this. So what's wrong with the scholars who are
trying to
mess this system up? As though this is the first time in the
world somebody has had a different Come on, we've got all the in
England and in Norway and all of these countries where this is
difficult. We've got the easiest of situations, we've got so much
facility
weatherwise just amenity wise, ACS, food, whatever type of food
you want, you can choose, you know, in a better diet to be able
to sustain yourself. You just need a multivitamin, multivitamins. You
know, this is what I was if somebody is having problems in
their fast, take a good multivitamin, multivitamin,
British
multivitamin a good multivitamin supplement at your whole time,
inshallah you should, you should. Not a cheap one. A good one. You
know, there's some good brands out there, halal good brands out
there, take one of those and you'll see that you will be able
to sustain yourself much better. It helps because sometimes our
food isn't the right kind of food we eat
weird carbs and things like that. So they you lose it. So try to eat
the best kinds of foods that's the whole time. Right? That helps a
lot if somebody's if somebody's and the other thing is that in the
heat and the lung, there are specific narrations mentioned from
the Sahaba, from the tambourine about this,
they will actually try to look for these kinds of days too fast. So
they would get extra reward. We can't help it we have to write so.
But the fact that if you think Oh Allah, you've told us to do this,
we're doing this out of your love for us. If this book is telling us
about love for one another, for the sake of Allah, then our a bar
that has to be for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala and
suddenly that just makes everything easier. Okay, so
finally, another Hadith here is well, actually that when he says
that, when you have these three things, a person will feel the
sweet taste of faith. A year ago when Allah wa rasuluh had the NA
Masiyiwa Houma. One is that Allah and His Messenger become
more beloved to him or to them to that individual than anything and
anybody else.
Clearly, if that's your motivation, in life, that Allah
and His Messenger become more beloved to you than anybody else
you will see you will feel the sweetness of faith, because they
will be the most important thing. This is what we're being told.
What are you humble Margiela you have learned? And whenever you do
love anybody else, it's for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala. What
in your craw? Yeah with the filco brother and call the hula hoomin.
And a person totally dislikes. The worst thing that could happen to
him, he thinks is that he'd be
he'd be returned to Cusco on disbelief after Allah subhanho wa
Taala is extracted from him from it. He dislikes gopher to that
extent for himself.
Just as he would dislike to be thrown into the fire, that's how
much he feels. I don't want to go close to
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam
also said in multimedia relates a remote minoli remote medical
Bonilla and he should do ballyhoo Baldan. A believer
for another believer is like a
complementary structure or part of the same structure because each
part strengthens the other. That's the way structures are made. They
always interlocked. They never separate, otherwise it will fall
apart. She's always interlocked, and that's how Muslims need to be
interlocked believers for the sake of Allah. Ignorant Naja relates is
stuck through mineral Equilon.
This is a very
ajeeb narration is strictly ruminant Equilon for in an
equilibrium miniature 13 Yama, Yama have a lot of take a lot of
good friends
abundantly, have lots of lots and lots of good brothers, good
sisters, for the sisters.
Because for every believer,
they will have the ability to intercede on the Day of Judgment.
So the more good people you're linked with, the more the
likelihood that somebody's going to take you in with him.
Somebody is going to intercede for you? Because every good believer
is going to get an intercession
So have as many good people as you can. And so while I've seen people
like this,
you know, they may be affiliated with one type of our work. But
when it comes to pious individuals, they will support
everyone. And that's the way it should be no to work. And
institutions in Islam shouldn't be mutually exclusive. They're all
complimentary to each other. So we've got one brother in Stamford
Hill, mashallah every visiting scholar, he will insist on hosting
him, he will provide the support and Iftar in Ramadan.
There's a certain mindset needed for this. And he knew Scott
scholar comes to visit in town a pious individual are wary of Allah
was known for we like we don't know the real estates of people,
but we can only go by this, the apparent so they will host them,
they will meet them, they may, you know, try to kind of strike up a
basic kind of relationship with them.
So at least on the Day of Judgment, that's gonna happen. For
example, one of my friends in Mauritania, he, this is the kind
of individual he is he knows all of the outcome of the country, you
know, in the in that sense. So there's one place where the sheikh
had even lost his eyesight because of the bad water in town, because
their water was from a kind of just below the ground, it was very
bad. And, you know, he was causing a problem. So he went spoke to a
few people, his boss, and a few people, and his boss, very wealthy
guy, when he heard about this, and he had it checked up and
everything like that, he without telling this friend of ours
anymore, he just went and had this sent sent the machinery and
everything to get have a deep well dug up.
Just just just like that. So sometimes just putting a word in
for somebody, for the sake of some piety over the sake of some good
work that also carries its dividends. Right? If you can't do
it yourself, encourage others to do it. Basically, that's what the
point is here.
Hakeem, tell me the relates another rajulio, human Shokin
hydromagnetic have a standard in PMSG be harder for a person to
look at their brother with a yearning. This is my brother for
the sake of Allah, to have that kind of emotional connection.
Right, that bonding says that this is superior to take off for one
year in this Masjid of mine, though this may be a weak
narration, but it underscores the importance of brotherhood. The
underscores the importance of brotherhood even over worship
sometimes.
Because that's how we function, the better the Brotherhood, the
more we'll be able to worship. Because what happens is when you
have fighting in between brothers, worship loses its flavor. People
are deprived of the pleasure of their worship, because of the
quarrels and the problems in that a lot of the time you may have
noticed the direct effect of this. When you've just had an argument
or are in argument with somebody you come to the masjid you notice
that brother soon as you start your prayer shaytan is going to
make you think of all of your evidences against him.
Your arguments against him, and he spoils your prayer. So if you have
brotherhood, it's all nice, then you can sit and focus for the sake
of Allah subhanaw taala if not a bit dunya relates
What a name, the son of the father of the dunya
the son of the father of the dunya Ibnu a bit dunya that was his
name. He says that Allah subhana wa Tada he relates that Allah
subhanho wa Taala says, I have cut my hair Betty really would have
been a fear and Yama within the home for you Lily Lily Lau Shijo
Maratea to Milady lovingly, my love has become actualized for the
people who love one another for my sake. Today I will give them shade
in the shade of Darsh on the day of judgment on the day when there
is no shade, except my shade, if not been dunya also relates in the
Hadith that anybody who starts a brotherly relationship with
somebody. Allah subhanaw taala gives him an extra status in
general.
So for every brotherly relationship we strike up for the
sake of Allah, Allah will give us a status in Jannah for that so the
more you love people for the sake of Allah, the higher you will be
in Jannah
it's totally illogical it's totally logical, because you will
just do more more good that way anyway. Just be engender more good
in the community. He also relates I'll say better anime coming to
him Villa have your foods given meaning make sure your food is
given to those or eaten by those who you love for the sake of
Allah.
So don't do it for the wrong motive. When you take people out
to a restaurant or feed them do it for the right reason.
That's what should be the right reasons for the sake of Allah
subhanaw taala Salah was sent out to emo town, people are related
that when you're on a travel the bed
As one is the person who takes food with him to give to others on
a travel because generally on a journey,
you may have all the food at home but on a journey people aren't
always very prepared, especially people who aren't used to
traveling so often they come unprepared and then they get
hungry. And sometimes you get caught up in a in some airports
like I remember in Addis Ababa, a very big airport, but you can
hardly get any decent food on the airport. Right? You know, unlike
other airports where there's so much food, you can't even get a
basic sense there's a bar and stuff but there's no basis you can
feel the value of food at that time, and I had a companion
mashallah hidden. I had given all my food outs on my journey, and on
the way back I didn't have much but hamdulillah there was a
companion with me and he pulled out some bags and said, masha
Allah, you know
how Kim narrates How can a nice booty he relates that Allah
subhanho wa Taala says Al Maha buena Fianna Manabi nor your b2b
mechanic gonna be you know, Siddiqa or Shuhada. nother Heidi's
related similar to the one about the prophets and the Shahada. They
are envious of these people who love each other for the sake of
Allah. Imam Bihac II really relates man at the terminal Iman,
whoever wants to gain the the taste of iman that he should love
somebody law you him boohoo Allah Allah, purely for the sake of
Allah subhana wa Tada. And I think there's two generations left in
Mumbai it also relates that Allah subhanho wa Taala says, In Nila
hum will be added out of there other than sometimes Allah
subhanho wa Taala says that sometimes I feel like punishing a
certain group of people for something wrong they've done
right. I feel like punishing a certain group of people, I have
this feeling of punishing them. I I want to do it for either another
tequila or Marie beauty will would have been a fear. But then
suddenly, I see among them, people who are inhabiting my houses, the
misogyny, I see among them people who go and frequent the misogyny
and people who love each other for the my sake. Well, Mr. Very noble
as hard and people who are making stay far in the, in the depths of
the night, sort of to either be unknown.
I avert my punishment from them.
So people who love each other for Allah sake, will come to the
masjid and visit the masjid and you know, in the masjid, and who
are making a stick Farah at Sadie time, the 100th time, the
protectors for us, Allah subhanho wa Taala keeps the punishment
away.
We need more people like this, to keep the punishment away.
There are many many other generations and may Allah Thank
you. I'm Sharla Ania his brought these two hour notice and he's
collected them together from these different books. May Allah give us
a trophy to love each other for the sake of Allah together for the
sake of Allah and this much is sufficient. Tomorrow inshallah
we'll be looking at the perspective of Allah Allah and the
salah and the pious people on what they think of this and their
practical ideas of how to increase love for one another. May Allah
subhanaw taala give us a Tofik Allah who mentor Salamanca

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 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 as local law here and Salam aleikum wa
rahmatullah
