zoom boletim me to have the well law who you are in fooling me

00:01:02 --> 00:01:05

or law who was zero 90.

00:01:06 --> 00:01:07

So the koala who now

00:01:10 --> 00:01:11

if we look around us,

00:01:13 --> 00:01:14

any community,

00:01:15 --> 00:01:19

even many families, you'll see that there's going to be a diverse

00:01:19 --> 00:01:22

range of people

00:01:23 --> 00:01:30

within within that, that community, or that family, or

00:01:30 --> 00:01:34

collection of people that you're looking at. What you'll see among

00:01:34 --> 00:01:37

them, as you'll see some people who are rich and wealthy, they've

00:01:37 --> 00:01:40

been endowed with ability to spend,

00:01:41 --> 00:01:46

or they've got mashallah a lot of wealth. And you'll have others who

00:01:46 --> 00:01:47

are just about making it,

00:01:49 --> 00:01:54

making the ends meet, they're just about doing okay. Then you've got

00:01:54 --> 00:01:57

people who are strong within a community, then you've got the

00:01:57 --> 00:02:01

people who are weak, yet you'll have others who are kind of

00:02:01 --> 00:02:05

leaders, leadership positions, they lead people, they set trends,

00:02:05 --> 00:02:07

they're pioneers, they're Mavericks, and you've got other

00:02:07 --> 00:02:09

people who are followers,

00:02:10 --> 00:02:13

then you'll have people who are ill and sick and yet you'll have

00:02:13 --> 00:02:17

other people who are healthy. Now, such a diverse range of people,

00:02:17 --> 00:02:20

which is the sample that you'll find pretty much anywhere and

00:02:20 --> 00:02:23

everywhere in the world. How does such a group

00:02:24 --> 00:02:30

live in this world and still be successful? Given the either the

00:02:30 --> 00:02:33

strengths as something that you might consider to be a strength or

00:02:33 --> 00:02:38

a weakness or a disability, or an inhibition or an obstacle? How

00:02:38 --> 00:02:41

does person what should a person do?

00:02:42 --> 00:02:43

Now,

00:02:44 --> 00:02:45

if

00:02:48 --> 00:02:49

whatever a person is,

00:02:50 --> 00:02:54

however a person may be, if that person attaches themselves to

00:02:54 --> 00:02:55

Allah subhanaw taala

00:02:56 --> 00:02:59

becomes a firm believer in the Divine,

00:03:00 --> 00:03:06

not just a religion of convenience or religion of birth, but rather

00:03:06 --> 00:03:10

makes their faith theirs personalizes it, in a sense, makes

00:03:10 --> 00:03:11

it work for them.

00:03:12 --> 00:03:15

And really recognizes Allah subhanaw taala and takes on his

00:03:15 --> 00:03:19

the color as Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran, cyberdata

00:03:19 --> 00:03:23

Allah, woman X and women Allah has similar symbol that Allah the

00:03:23 --> 00:03:26

color of Allah, because color is something that permeates

00:03:26 --> 00:03:30

everything. So the color in the o'clock in the conduct and

00:03:30 --> 00:03:35

behavior, the color in in every aspect of one's life, who better

00:03:35 --> 00:03:39

than Allah subhanaw taala to provide a trend, a color, a style,

00:03:39 --> 00:03:44

a fashion methodology. Basically, that's what this means. But the

00:03:44 --> 00:03:48

word used is color simple, something that covers everything

00:03:48 --> 00:03:50

with with itself.

00:03:51 --> 00:03:56

So if it's a wealthy person, and they're connected to Allah,

00:03:56 --> 00:03:59

they'll fulfill the rights of the wealth that Allah has given them

00:03:59 --> 00:04:02

while possibly enjoying their wealth as well. And they will

00:04:02 --> 00:04:06

become a great person, a great being in the sight of Allah. And

00:04:06 --> 00:04:10

most likely in the sight of people. If a person is poor, and

00:04:10 --> 00:04:14

they connect themselves to Allah subhanaw taala then poverty will

00:04:14 --> 00:04:17

no longer be a burden on them, they will be able to associate

00:04:17 --> 00:04:20

themselves with the messenger sallallahu alayhi wasallam. If you

00:04:20 --> 00:04:24

look at the way Rasulullah sallallahu isn't spent his life

00:04:24 --> 00:04:28

and this was done voluntarily, despite millions coming through

00:04:28 --> 00:04:32

his hands. Despite millions coming through his hands and him

00:04:32 --> 00:04:35

receiving the booty and just giving it out. He decided to

00:04:35 --> 00:04:40

remain of the poor. That's why the lowest inhabitant of Madina,

00:04:40 --> 00:04:44

Munawwara the most poor poorest individually in Medina, I'm gonna

00:04:44 --> 00:04:48

work could relate to him. They could relate to this king,

00:04:48 --> 00:04:50

whatever they would see him as he's not a king. He was the

00:04:50 --> 00:04:53

prophet. He was the leader, but they could relate to him, because

00:04:53 --> 00:04:58

for many days on end, no fire would be kindled in his house to

00:04:58 --> 00:04:59

cook any food he just eaten.

00:05:00 --> 00:05:04

dates and water, so that that's what he preferred to do. So if

00:05:04 --> 00:05:07

it's a poor person, then the poverty will no longer become a

00:05:07 --> 00:05:10

burden on them once they have the cover the color of Allah subhanaw

00:05:10 --> 00:05:13

taala. If it's a person who's healthy, they will know how to use

00:05:13 --> 00:05:17

the health in the path of Allah subhanaw taala and thus become

00:05:17 --> 00:05:21

successful in that sense. If a person is unhealthy, sick, going

00:05:21 --> 00:05:25

through cancer treatment, whatever the best palliative care is that a

00:05:25 --> 00:05:29

person becomes associated with Allah subhanaw taala, you can't

00:05:29 --> 00:05:33

have anything better than that, then the patients will be able to

00:05:33 --> 00:05:39

overcome any feeling of difficulty or burden or deficiency a person

00:05:39 --> 00:05:43

may be feeling. So if a person is an honorable individual in the

00:05:43 --> 00:05:47

community, then Allah subhanho wa taala, again, with Allah subhanho

00:05:47 --> 00:05:52

wa taala. This will make him even more honorable in the real sense.

00:05:52 --> 00:05:54

And if a person is not very respected in the community,

00:05:54 --> 00:05:59

because he doesn't come from a very wealthy aristocratic family,

00:05:59 --> 00:06:02

that's generally understood to be you know, of a certain stature in

00:06:02 --> 00:06:05

certain societies. But when they know that they're with Allah

00:06:05 --> 00:06:08

subhanaw taala, that will give them the strength that they need

00:06:08 --> 00:06:10

in this world. Because at the end of the day, this world is just the

00:06:10 --> 00:06:15

place we've been placed in with these different states that we

00:06:15 --> 00:06:19

have. And really, we have to work for the hereafter if we're a pupil

00:06:19 --> 00:06:21

of belief, that's what sets us apart from anybody who's not a

00:06:21 --> 00:06:26

person of belief. So once we've said that, when you look at the

00:06:26 --> 00:06:28

Sahaba, and this is the first of your series, you will actually

00:06:28 --> 00:06:32

find that within the Sahaba, the companions are the Allahu anhu,

00:06:32 --> 00:06:36

they were definitely not of one style at all. They were the

00:06:36 --> 00:06:39

wealthy in there, they were the poor in there, and they were the

00:06:39 --> 00:06:42

strong ones in there. They were the followers in there, they were

00:06:42 --> 00:06:45

the leaders in that you had the same kind of cross section of any

00:06:45 --> 00:06:48

community within the sahaba. But what we need to observe is how

00:06:48 --> 00:06:51

they spent their time, so inshallah this series should be

00:06:51 --> 00:06:55

very beneficial for us. Who I want to speak to speak about is Abdul

00:06:55 --> 00:06:58

Rahman ignore how for the Allah one? Well, I find quite

00:06:58 --> 00:07:02

fascinating, because I believe that in this time and age, when

00:07:02 --> 00:07:05

we're living in this and enjoying this prosperity we have

00:07:05 --> 00:07:09

Subhanallah you walk through Imperial College, and you actually

00:07:09 --> 00:07:12

see the prosperity around you. The streets around the college

00:07:12 --> 00:07:15

themselves. They reek of money Subhanallah they reek of

00:07:15 --> 00:07:18

prosperity, the cars and everything and you come inside and

00:07:18 --> 00:07:21

everything is brand spanking new, it looks like you're in Dubai.

00:07:22 --> 00:07:25

Right? Subhanallah because that's what Dubai is an artificial world,

00:07:25 --> 00:07:28

although I don't think London's as artificial is that certain degree,

00:07:28 --> 00:07:28

but

00:07:30 --> 00:07:34

the point is that we today Alhamdulillah this generation,

00:07:34 --> 00:07:38

this current generation, we are mashallah enjoying a lot of

00:07:38 --> 00:07:42

prosperity. You you each one of us probably sitting here with the

00:07:42 --> 00:07:46

clothes that they want on their bodies. It's a choice you've made,

00:07:46 --> 00:07:49

this is the clothing I want to buy, and you've been able to buy

00:07:49 --> 00:07:53

it. I'm sure most of us are not sitting here with hand downs,

00:07:53 --> 00:07:57

something we begrudgingly wearing, which we wouldn't want to really

00:07:57 --> 00:08:01

be wearing, or that we've been forced to go to Primark to buy

00:08:01 --> 00:08:05

something and you know, no offense to Primark shoppers, they actually

00:08:05 --> 00:08:06

do quite well on Oxford Street.

00:08:08 --> 00:08:11

You know what I'm talking about? Alhamdulillah, Allah has given us

00:08:11 --> 00:08:14

a lot. It's just what how do we deal with this today? Because

00:08:14 --> 00:08:19

money and wealth, and this disposable wealth being at your

00:08:19 --> 00:08:22

disposal has an ability to intoxicate and there's no doubt

00:08:22 --> 00:08:25

about that. There's nothing intrinsically wrong with wealth or

00:08:25 --> 00:08:28

money. nothing intrinsically wrong, but hey, you know, get rid

00:08:28 --> 00:08:32

of it. There's nothing wrong with that. It's just what it can do.

00:08:32 --> 00:08:35

You know, when it comes together with a human being what it does,

00:08:35 --> 00:08:38

just like you have the mother in law syndrome, where you have the

00:08:38 --> 00:08:42

daughter in law separate, she's fine, perfect individual,

00:08:42 --> 00:08:45

everybody's fine with her. You look at the mother in law

00:08:45 --> 00:08:48

separately as an individual, perfect woman, you put them two

00:08:48 --> 00:08:51

together, and suddenly something happens. Right? Not all the time.

00:08:51 --> 00:08:54

But you know what I'm talking about. It's just an example. So

00:08:54 --> 00:08:57

similarly, here, you got a lot of money, you put that with a human

00:08:57 --> 00:09:01

being, and suddenly, something happens. You got a guy who's

00:09:01 --> 00:09:04

driving, driving a Bentley, the other guy sees somebody, there's a

00:09:04 --> 00:09:06

certain attitude they'll have on their face, and I'm not

00:09:06 --> 00:09:10

stereotyping old Bentley drivers, by the way. But if you're driving

00:09:10 --> 00:09:13

a Bentley, and you've got this smirk on your face when you're

00:09:13 --> 00:09:16

like people are watching me, and you just want to see their

00:09:16 --> 00:09:19

reaction, you're driving it like, you know, you want to see that at

00:09:19 --> 00:09:23

the end of the day, you still have to drive it, right. You're seeing

00:09:23 --> 00:09:26

the reaction, you feel you're better, you're superior, man,

00:09:26 --> 00:09:30

those guys they have to walk they have to catch the bus. I can drive

00:09:30 --> 00:09:33

around in this car. Same thing when it comes to the garments,

00:09:33 --> 00:09:37

you're going around with a you know, an LV bag, a handbag and

00:09:37 --> 00:09:39

everybody's going around at them. So what's the big deal today

00:09:39 --> 00:09:43

anyway? Right? And everybody's really trying to get their LV bag

00:09:43 --> 00:09:45

Subhanallah but everybody's got the same bag. You don't even look

00:09:45 --> 00:09:48

different in your mail anymore. What's the big deal? When I think

00:09:48 --> 00:09:51

becomes like so it's just like going Primark and buying

00:09:51 --> 00:09:53

something. Right, sorry.

00:09:55 --> 00:09:59

So regardless of what a person may be, it's really about the color

00:09:59 --> 00:10:00

one takes on

00:10:00 --> 00:10:04

And then it doesn't matter if you have lots of money. It's okay then

00:10:04 --> 00:10:07

it doesn't matter. You got lots of influence. It won't spoil you. It

00:10:07 --> 00:10:11

won't affect you. It won't. You won't abuse it. That's what's

00:10:11 --> 00:10:16

really important. That's why what's very interesting in this

00:10:16 --> 00:10:18

observation is that if you look at the 10, who've been grant

00:10:19 --> 00:10:22

guaranteed Jana, the 10, who have been guaranteed Jana, the rest of

00:10:22 --> 00:10:27

the Sahaba they also going to Jana, which is greatly hoped, the

00:10:27 --> 00:10:29

it's it's greatly hope that they will all go in general because

00:10:29 --> 00:10:32

Allah subhanaw taala said about them that Radi Allahu Anhu model

00:10:32 --> 00:10:36

the one that they are pleased with Allah, Allah is pleased with them.

00:10:36 --> 00:10:38

So when somebody is when Allah is pleased with somebody, they're

00:10:38 --> 00:10:42

pretty much going to Jana. However, these 10 are those which

00:10:42 --> 00:10:45

the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that

00:10:47 --> 00:10:51

he he mentioned in one instance in one sitting Abu Bakr, Phil general

00:10:51 --> 00:10:54

morphogen northmont will generally fill Jana and he mentioned the

00:10:54 --> 00:10:58

other six. Now to help me out to other six, the other six after the

00:10:58 --> 00:11:00

four. You've got.

00:11:01 --> 00:11:04

Come on quickly, quickly. We need to do this quickly. Adorama Dibner

00:11:04 --> 00:11:05

off then.

00:11:08 --> 00:11:11

Zubayr YBNL awam SubhanAllah. Yes.

00:11:12 --> 00:11:16

A boo boo ERBE obey the criminal genre tell her ignore obey the

00:11:16 --> 00:11:21

law. Tell her ignore obey the law. Sorry, do not be like us and the

00:11:21 --> 00:11:22

last one.

00:11:24 --> 00:11:28

Saeed bin Zaid, you definitely okay.

00:11:30 --> 00:11:35

Right. So these are the 10 that were in one gathering the profit

00:11:35 --> 00:11:37

or loss I've seen that he took all of the names that he said Indiana,

00:11:37 --> 00:11:39

Indiana, Indiana, Indiana, Indiana,

00:11:40 --> 00:11:44

must have been something very significant. So I'm gonna hand it

00:11:44 --> 00:11:48

off was one of those. And actually most of those they were friends of

00:11:48 --> 00:11:52

mine are the Allahu Anhu. They were friends of Abu Bakr Siddiq

00:11:52 --> 00:11:56

are the Allahu Anhu obika The alarm was responsible for at least

00:11:56 --> 00:11:57

half of them becoming Muslim.

00:11:58 --> 00:12:00

Because they were friends from before when Oba Christie declared

00:12:00 --> 00:12:05

the Allahu Anhu was the first to accept from the adults. And he

00:12:05 --> 00:12:09

convinced Orthomosaic no matter rune, he convinced Abdurrahman

00:12:09 --> 00:12:14

mouth, he convinced Earthman Rwanda the Allahu Anhu. So obika

00:12:14 --> 00:12:16

Siddiq are the alone is responsible for all of them, he

00:12:16 --> 00:12:19

gets the reward all of them and that just makes him even greater.

00:12:20 --> 00:12:24

Andromeda now for the Allahu Anhu he was actually his lineage

00:12:24 --> 00:12:26

eventually meets with that of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi

00:12:26 --> 00:12:31

wasallam. And he's Acorah she, of course is from the Quraysh. His

00:12:31 --> 00:12:34

his title was Abu Mohammed because one of his children's names are

00:12:34 --> 00:12:38

probably Mohammed, his original name in Jaya Helia. He was born 10

00:12:38 --> 00:12:41

years after a sudo allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. 10

00:12:41 --> 00:12:43

years younger than the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam his

00:12:43 --> 00:12:48

original name was Abdullah Abdullah Umrah Abdul amor or Abdul

00:12:48 --> 00:12:53

cada right the worship of amor or the slave of amor, the save of the

00:12:53 --> 00:12:55

Kaaba. But when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam when

00:12:55 --> 00:12:58

he met the sort of loss of Allah, some he changed his name to Abdul

00:12:58 --> 00:13:04

Rahman, which is the servant of the Most Merciful One, which is

00:13:04 --> 00:13:06

one of the greatest names you can have Abdurrahman and Abdullah,

00:13:07 --> 00:13:11

because it tells it's supposed to say who they are, in reality, the

00:13:11 --> 00:13:17

servant of the Most Merciful One, not only is he of the 10, but he's

00:13:17 --> 00:13:22

also of the group of six the committee of six formed by Amara,

00:13:22 --> 00:13:26

the Allahu Anhu and Omar the others deathbed that the Holy the

00:13:26 --> 00:13:30

next Khalifa has to be from among the six. So he was he was

00:13:30 --> 00:13:33

considered to be and he was given some preferences in that, that if

00:13:33 --> 00:13:37

there is a tie in terms of three people on this side, three people

00:13:37 --> 00:13:41

on this side in the room, what are they alone did say take the side

00:13:41 --> 00:13:45

in which Abdurrahman himself is on. Right, so, Amara, the Lord had

00:13:45 --> 00:13:50

a lot of respect for Abdurrahman mouth, and on a number of critical

00:13:50 --> 00:13:54

occasions. He was his main advisor, and we inshallah we'll

00:13:54 --> 00:13:58

come to that. So what used to happen is that a worker Siddiq or

00:13:58 --> 00:14:01

the Allahu Anhu used to meet up with Zubaydah Brunel our

00:14:02 --> 00:14:05

who's also one of the 10 are smarter than I can tell her

00:14:05 --> 00:14:09

ignore. Obey the law said Do not be workers, and Abdurahman even if

00:14:09 --> 00:14:11

they used to meet together you know, like have a chat sit down

00:14:11 --> 00:14:15

together, have a good time, they used to sit down and discuss on

00:14:15 --> 00:14:18

one occasion, worker Siddiq, or the Allah one came up and said,

00:14:19 --> 00:14:22

Look, this is a man Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was

00:14:22 --> 00:14:25

coming, he's proclaiming this that there's actually only one deity,

00:14:25 --> 00:14:30

there's only one divine being there's only one one deity worthy

00:14:30 --> 00:14:34

of worship. So they they accepted, they accepted because they really

00:14:34 --> 00:14:37

trusted his friend workers to declare the Allah one as a person

00:14:37 --> 00:14:41

who is very much liked. He had a really a sense of a very

00:14:41 --> 00:14:45

compassionate, very soft demeanor, a great respect he held and he was

00:14:45 --> 00:14:49

very soft, and people really love them. It's just somebody that you

00:14:49 --> 00:14:51

could just relate to and he would walk into the room. It's like a

00:14:51 --> 00:14:55

cool breeze just just came in, and suddenly you know, everybody looks

00:14:55 --> 00:14:56

towards him. And

00:14:58 --> 00:15:00

and it makes a big

00:15:00 --> 00:15:04

difference, right? It makes a big difference. So what I wanted to

00:15:04 --> 00:15:08

mention about the 10 just very important that's related to us is

00:15:08 --> 00:15:12

that you've heard of Abu Huraira, the Allahu Anhu. And the US have

00:15:12 --> 00:15:12

to suffer.

00:15:13 --> 00:15:16

That's how we suffer, we're probably the poorest of the poor.

00:15:17 --> 00:15:21

Now, despite all the struggle they went through, you don't see that

00:15:21 --> 00:15:23

any of them were in the top 10.

00:15:25 --> 00:15:29

Right, they're not in the top 10 in that hierarchy in the in the

00:15:29 --> 00:15:30

actual MOBA genre.

00:15:32 --> 00:15:35

However, in the top 10, who you do have is you have a few

00:15:35 --> 00:15:40

millionaires. You have a few extremely wealthy people, and you

00:15:40 --> 00:15:43

know who they will respond to the Allahu Anhu most people will know

00:15:43 --> 00:15:49

about. Another one is Abdul Rahman. Now, another one is

00:15:49 --> 00:15:50

Zubaydah. glowworm.

00:15:52 --> 00:15:56

extremely wealthy, had a palace in Medina, I think it still exists,

00:15:57 --> 00:16:01

and you had to hide nor obey the law was very wealthy as well. And

00:16:01 --> 00:16:06

yet they were in the 10 Guaranteed Jana. So that means their wealth

00:16:06 --> 00:16:10

did not become a barrier for them, despite the fact that wealth

00:16:10 --> 00:16:14

generally is a barrier. But it doesn't have to be and this is

00:16:14 --> 00:16:16

very important for us to understand that balance. That's

00:16:16 --> 00:16:19

why I chose Abdul Rahman who now are the Allah one.

00:16:20 --> 00:16:24

So this is his story is very interesting.

00:16:26 --> 00:16:28

I've drawn him now who is obviously also one of those who

00:16:28 --> 00:16:33

made the initial migration to Abyssinia first, then he was one

00:16:33 --> 00:16:37

of the initial immigrants to Madina, Munawwara and as you know,

00:16:37 --> 00:16:40

when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam had all of these migrants

00:16:40 --> 00:16:45

coming into Madina, Munawwara he took one of the immigrants and he

00:16:45 --> 00:16:49

took one of the unsought and he he would pair them together, so they

00:16:49 --> 00:16:52

would become like brothers in a sense, so that they could support

00:16:52 --> 00:16:53

each other. Now,

00:16:55 --> 00:16:58

as the Sahaba came in the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would

00:16:58 --> 00:16:59

pair them together.

00:17:00 --> 00:17:06

Abdurrahman mouth, or the Allahu Anhu. He was paired with a very,

00:17:06 --> 00:17:10

with one of the richest people in Madina Munawwara whose name was

00:17:10 --> 00:17:15

Sally Roby. Sorry, Robbie, he was one of the wealthiest of the

00:17:15 --> 00:17:18

answer. Now the promise of a lot isn't obvious. He is going to pair

00:17:18 --> 00:17:22

people up together like minded, you know, Abdurrahman mouth and

00:17:22 --> 00:17:25

all the other Sahaba older Maha Jeanine. Those who came and left

00:17:25 --> 00:17:29

everything, they left their estate. This is a place where

00:17:29 --> 00:17:33

their forefathers had been. There is not a place like England where

00:17:33 --> 00:17:35

most of us are immigrants. And we you know, we've only got a history

00:17:35 --> 00:17:39

that goes back 3050 years maybe. Right, so that's all we have. Now.

00:17:39 --> 00:17:42

These are like, you know, the winces the Windsors or, you know

00:17:43 --> 00:17:47

of Spencer's, you know that they have huge estates, they own a lot

00:17:47 --> 00:17:51

of stuff. This is historical, they left everything. That's the

00:17:51 --> 00:17:54

sacrifice of them or hygiene, they left everything. They came to

00:17:54 --> 00:17:57

Madina Munawwara empty handed just basically with whatever they could

00:17:57 --> 00:18:00

carry, you know, and that was a much because a lot of them had to

00:18:00 --> 00:18:03

leave secretly. So now I'm gonna hold on now for the Allahu Anhu.

00:18:04 --> 00:18:09

He's paired with Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia says to him in the UK

00:18:09 --> 00:18:14

therell and Saudi Merlin I have the most wealth among the Ansara I

00:18:14 --> 00:18:18

can the wealthiest for who Albania you are being a shutter on now

00:18:18 --> 00:18:23

look at look at the sacrifice of the people of Makkah who just came

00:18:23 --> 00:18:26

in, they just abandon everything. You know, your favorite, whatever

00:18:26 --> 00:18:28

it was, it's all abandoned.

00:18:29 --> 00:18:32

The people of Madina, Munawwara, whatever they had they saying,

00:18:32 --> 00:18:33

I'll give you half

00:18:34 --> 00:18:38

you take half of this, when he emerald Aton. I've also got two

00:18:38 --> 00:18:42

wives. If you prefer one of them, I'll divorce her after she stays

00:18:42 --> 00:18:46

in her, you know, finishes a waiting period, her ID, you can

00:18:46 --> 00:18:49

get married to her as well made it as easy as possible.

00:18:52 --> 00:18:53

Now,

00:18:54 --> 00:18:55

Abdurrahman

00:18:56 --> 00:19:00

instead of saying, Yep, give me that. Let's do that, and then

00:19:00 --> 00:19:04

fight over which half to take BarakAllahu look, if he Alico

00:19:04 --> 00:19:06

Malik, may Allah bless you in your wealth

00:19:07 --> 00:19:12

and in your family don't need a soup Just tell me where the market

00:19:12 --> 00:19:14

is just telling me where the market is. That's what I need to

00:19:14 --> 00:19:16

know. I know what to do from there.

00:19:17 --> 00:19:21

That day when he went out to the market he came back that same day,

00:19:21 --> 00:19:24

same day with a bit of profit he came with some contribution

00:19:24 --> 00:19:30

basically came back with some cheese and some summon a he came

00:19:30 --> 00:19:32

back with some clarified butter. Ghee.

00:19:34 --> 00:19:37

Right. He came back with some clarified butter and some cheese

00:19:37 --> 00:19:41

so basically some food stuff. How did he How did he work this how

00:19:41 --> 00:19:45

did he work his way up to become the millionaire that he was or the

00:19:45 --> 00:19:48

billionaire? Whatever he was, it was crazy amount of wealth by the

00:19:48 --> 00:19:52

way. How did he get there? That's the question we need to ask. See,

00:19:52 --> 00:19:55

today, the way people work they take huge loans from the bank and

00:19:55 --> 00:19:58

they get in debt straightaway. They don't know whether you're

00:19:58 --> 00:19:59

gonna have success or not. Yes, you'll have your business

00:20:00 --> 00:20:02

plants I've done this, I've consulted, I've done this, take 20

00:20:02 --> 00:20:05

people on and then suddenly, you know, you've got an entity that

00:20:05 --> 00:20:08

separate from you. It's a limited company. That's why it limits your

00:20:08 --> 00:20:11

liability. You know, we've got this whole system that we have to

00:20:11 --> 00:20:15

play with today. And subhanAllah. What he did was not this is what I

00:20:15 --> 00:20:18

believe is true business. Anybody who wants to get in business, and

00:20:18 --> 00:20:21

businesses are sooner as opposed to working for someone, businesses

00:20:21 --> 00:20:24

assume that to be your own boss, right? So I would really encourage

00:20:24 --> 00:20:29

business. Now, the way to do business is to make sure that you

00:20:29 --> 00:20:33

can sleep at night without a doubt on your head, as far as possible.

00:20:33 --> 00:20:37

And believe me from experience, I found that to be the best way you

00:20:37 --> 00:20:40

have the most satisfaction, and you have great amount of Baraka in

00:20:40 --> 00:20:43

that as well. Allah gives you because you are keeping your hopes

00:20:43 --> 00:20:46

on Allah subhanaw taala not in anything else. This is what he

00:20:46 --> 00:20:49

did. He purchased a camel on credit.

00:20:50 --> 00:20:57

And now camels come with a with with a rope that you tied with. So

00:20:57 --> 00:21:00

this is how we started and made it very simple. He bought a Camelon

00:21:00 --> 00:21:04

credit. Then he went and sold a camel minus the string for the

00:21:04 --> 00:21:09

same amount of money. So he just got profit of a string. Now in

00:21:09 --> 00:21:15

those days spring sorry, string was worth some money today. Plus

00:21:15 --> 00:21:18

SubhanAllah. Imam Muhammad, you know, humble relates. It's related

00:21:18 --> 00:21:24

from armodafinil Humble that he ordered some butter from the

00:21:24 --> 00:21:30

market. It came in a leaf. Now I've seen in India where they,

00:21:32 --> 00:21:33

where they they used to actually,

00:21:35 --> 00:21:40

in about 25 years ago, they used to actually sell ice cream on

00:21:40 --> 00:21:43

leaves. So a small piece of leaf, you know they've got from the

00:21:43 --> 00:21:46

woods, and they'll put the ice cream on, then they'll serve it to

00:21:46 --> 00:21:49

you because there's no disposables. And today, the

00:21:49 --> 00:21:52

disposables have made these countries very messy, because you

00:21:52 --> 00:21:56

have all these plastic bags flying around all over the place before

00:21:56 --> 00:21:59

it was all disposable. So now you understand why they just chucked

00:21:59 --> 00:22:03

things out the window in a train. Because it's fine. It'll just

00:22:03 --> 00:22:07

decompose outside. But now you can't do that with plastic bags

00:22:07 --> 00:22:10

and plastic containers. They don't just decompose like that. So it

00:22:10 --> 00:22:13

makes a big huge mess. And we say they're dirty. But it was quite

00:22:13 --> 00:22:16

natural to just throw something out before because it just become

00:22:16 --> 00:22:21

part of the ground again. Anyway, so Mr. Muhammad, he read, he told

00:22:21 --> 00:22:24

he took the heat, he took the butter from it, and he returned

00:22:24 --> 00:22:27

the leave. He said I only paid for the button, not the leaf. So there

00:22:27 --> 00:22:30

was value in those things today today, Mashallah. Our parents were

00:22:30 --> 00:22:33

mothers at home, they keep nice jars, they wash them out, they

00:22:33 --> 00:22:37

keep a Nunes throw everything out, you know, anyway, so he kept the

00:22:37 --> 00:22:40

string slowly, slowly every day. So it's a quick sale, you buy a

00:22:40 --> 00:22:43

camel, you sell it, you keep the string, eventually, with the money

00:22:43 --> 00:22:46

he had for the strings. He was able to buy a camel.

00:22:47 --> 00:22:51

And then he had two camels, three camels for had no debt whatsoever.

00:22:51 --> 00:22:54

Just day by day, he's trading day by day. At the end of the day,

00:22:54 --> 00:22:58

he's clean, and he's got profit Subhanallah eventually a huge

00:22:58 --> 00:23:03

number of camels. camels were extremely excited. Today. A goat

00:23:03 --> 00:23:07

cost you about 90 to 100 pounds, a camel will set you back about 800

00:23:07 --> 00:23:10

to 1000 pounds. I mean, a cow is that much nowadays, camel will be

00:23:10 --> 00:23:14

even more. It's about 1000 pounds or more. That's the value of a

00:23:14 --> 00:23:17

camel today. All right. So can you imagine what we're saying? That he

00:23:17 --> 00:23:21

had quite a few few camels. Now the thing is that the way he

00:23:21 --> 00:23:25

increased his wealth was very interesting. He increased it with

00:23:25 --> 00:23:29

huge amounts of sadaqa not just bits of sadaqa huge amounts of

00:23:29 --> 00:23:33

charity. That's how he increased it. On one occasion, he came up in

00:23:33 --> 00:23:35

front of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam The Prophet said

00:23:35 --> 00:23:39

awesome. So effects of saffron on him. Saffron was used by the women

00:23:39 --> 00:23:44

those days to be a nice smell like a fragrant, like a soft fragrance.

00:23:44 --> 00:23:48

So he'd been with his wife and thus some of it had probably

00:23:48 --> 00:23:51

rubbed off on him. So the Prophet sallallahu sallam said

00:23:52 --> 00:23:56

Mahim that's like what's happened? He says, I've just married I just

00:23:56 --> 00:23:59

got married, he says, What did you give her? Did you give her some?

00:23:59 --> 00:24:03

Did you give her a dowry? So he said, Yeah, I gave her a seed

00:24:03 --> 00:24:07

weight in gold. So I gave her that much gold Subhanallah So the

00:24:07 --> 00:24:10

Prophet sallallahu sallam said, Go and do walima go and feed people

00:24:10 --> 00:24:14

that way my husband's as soon as they get married, to thank Allah

00:24:14 --> 00:24:17

subhanaw taala they should in happiness, they, that's what we

00:24:17 --> 00:24:21

do, they do walima which is the feeding that that you do after

00:24:21 --> 00:24:22

after you get married

00:24:23 --> 00:24:28

during the expedition of the book, which was a very difficult time.

00:24:29 --> 00:24:37

He came with 8000 animals and or 1000 dirhams, and he gave 4000 of

00:24:37 --> 00:24:41

them in the path of Allah subhanaw taala and he kept another Ha he

00:24:41 --> 00:24:44

kept the other half for his family. And the prophets of Allah

00:24:44 --> 00:24:47

ism said to him BarakAllahu like female and sect were female

00:24:47 --> 00:24:51

outdates May Allah bless you in what you kept, withhold withheld

00:24:51 --> 00:24:56

for yourself, and may Allah also bless you in what you gave. So he

00:24:56 --> 00:24:59

was literally able to split his wealth in half. So it wasn't just

00:24:59 --> 00:25:00

our own.

00:25:00 --> 00:25:02

What are the Allahu Anhu did that on that day? There were others as

00:25:02 --> 00:25:05

well who did that? That's what you have to remember. This is the

00:25:05 --> 00:25:09

spirit that they had SWANA How difficult is it today for us to

00:25:09 --> 00:25:13

take half of our bank balance and just give it in the path of Allah

00:25:13 --> 00:25:20

subhanaw taala we can give, you know maybe 100 100% or 10% Maybe,

00:25:20 --> 00:25:22

but 50% That's a huge amount of money.

00:25:23 --> 00:25:26

So Allah subhanaw taala then revealed about him and Earthman

00:25:26 --> 00:25:31

are the Allahu Anhu Allah Xena Yun fit guna M word visa vie de la Sol

00:25:31 --> 00:25:35

Mala used to be Runa and Falco men know whether other Lahoma Jerome

00:25:35 --> 00:25:39

Endora be him with a hope and add a mother who has alone which means

00:25:39 --> 00:25:43

those who spend their wealth in the path of Allah subhana wa Tada.

00:25:43 --> 00:25:48

And then they don't follow it up with harm or with reminders. Hey,

00:25:48 --> 00:25:51

man, I spent on you. What's your problem? Why don't you favor me?

00:25:51 --> 00:25:54

Why don't you support me? Why don't you elect me? You know,

00:25:55 --> 00:25:59

they, it's it's not it's not a bribe. It's just clearly for the,

00:25:59 --> 00:26:03

for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala they don't follow it up with

00:26:03 --> 00:26:07

any form of harm, or any form of reminders loom as Rahu Mandara be

00:26:07 --> 00:26:10

him they have their reward according to Allah subhana wa they

00:26:10 --> 00:26:14

have the reward by Allah subhanaw taala and they will be no fear. No

00:26:15 --> 00:26:18

will they grieve on the Day of Judgment. So Abdurrahman him now

00:26:18 --> 00:26:23

for the Allah one used to whenever he was concerned about his

00:26:23 --> 00:26:27

eventual state in the Hereafter, he would, he would repeat this

00:26:27 --> 00:26:31

verse, because it had been revealed about him. So he would

00:26:31 --> 00:26:35

just try to find some sucker in it can get some support from it and

00:26:35 --> 00:26:40

feel good about it. This was a blessing investment that he made

00:26:40 --> 00:26:43

to spend in the path of Allah subhanaw taala Allah just gave him

00:26:43 --> 00:26:47

more you spend for me, I'll give you more he'd lead bucketloads on

00:26:47 --> 00:26:50

him. That's why Abdurrahman is now Friday alone used to saying you

00:26:50 --> 00:26:53

don't you don't know yet. You know what I'm still going to mention,

00:26:53 --> 00:26:59

but I'm not overly used to say that I could literally pick up a a

00:26:59 --> 00:27:03

stone from the ground I'd probably find gold under it. Basically

00:27:03 --> 00:27:04

saying how fast he could make money.

00:27:06 --> 00:27:09

How much Baraka Allah had given him that he could just turn things

00:27:09 --> 00:27:12

into money, not literally like every time I pick up a stone in

00:27:12 --> 00:27:14

his a golden hand. Obviously he's it's metaphorical what he's

00:27:14 --> 00:27:15

saying.

00:27:16 --> 00:27:18

Because Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran, now this is not a

00:27:18 --> 00:27:23

fundraiser, but this is just a way to balance our life. This is just

00:27:23 --> 00:27:26

the way to balance our life. Allah says Mr. Medina, Yun frequent

00:27:26 --> 00:27:29

Amana, Humphrey subete Allah the example of those who spend their

00:27:29 --> 00:27:32

wealth in the path of Allah subhana wa Tada gamma 30 hub

00:27:33 --> 00:27:38

is like a seed that you plant um but that Saba Asana Erbil, which

00:27:38 --> 00:27:43

then gave you seven corn seven years, seven further seeds are

00:27:43 --> 00:27:49

seven further is in which in each of them is 100 further seeds. So

00:27:49 --> 00:27:53

700, we're talking about from one penny that you give in the path of

00:27:53 --> 00:27:59

Allah, you get 700 pennies, one pound, you get 700 pounds, 1000,

00:27:59 --> 00:28:04

you get 700,000 pounds. And then it says wala who you will die if

00:28:04 --> 00:28:08

we remain Yeshua, you know, for us today in the metric system that we

00:28:08 --> 00:28:12

live in, everything's in 10s, and hundreds and millions. It's a very

00:28:12 --> 00:28:15

round number we deal with 10s. But if you look at the original

00:28:15 --> 00:28:21

imperial system, it was an intense, it's in 12 inches, make a

00:28:21 --> 00:28:25

foot and 36 make a yard, and it's just kind of all over the place.

00:28:25 --> 00:28:29

That's what people were used to the Sahaba were not used to 10s

00:28:29 --> 00:28:33

and hundreds they were used to 770s and seven hundreds and then

00:28:33 --> 00:28:37

beyond. That was That's why in the Hadith, you'll you'll see the

00:28:37 --> 00:28:40

promise or some general and that's and that's more natural because

00:28:40 --> 00:28:44

seven heavens seven doors of jahannam. Right, Jana has eight

00:28:44 --> 00:28:48

doors just to make it more welcoming, right? But otherwise,

00:28:48 --> 00:28:51

everything is generally in seven, seven days of the week, seven days

00:28:51 --> 00:28:55

seven that it's a very kind of mature number, right? The lowest

00:28:55 --> 00:28:58

of the most mature numbers in a kind of the lowest number of

00:28:58 --> 00:29:01

significance in a sense. So that's what they used to deal with. So

00:29:01 --> 00:29:04

Allah is saying, I'll give you this much but then Wallah who you

00:29:04 --> 00:29:08

are, if only my Masha, Allah subhanaw taala can then multiply

00:29:08 --> 00:29:12

this as much as he wants. So it's beyond what Allah who is here on

00:29:12 --> 00:29:16

our team, Allah subhanaw taala is extensive, and he is most

00:29:16 --> 00:29:17

knowledgeable, then

00:29:19 --> 00:29:23

Abdurahman. Now if he gives 40,000 dinars dyrham is a silver piece

00:29:23 --> 00:29:28

and dinar is a gold piece. And today, 20 dinars are worth about

00:29:28 --> 00:29:31

22,000 pounds. Today, it could have been a different equation.

00:29:31 --> 00:29:36

Those days. 20 dinars today are worth about 2000 pounds, which is

00:29:36 --> 00:29:41

the nisab of gold. So can you imagine what 40,000 dinars are

00:29:41 --> 00:29:47

worth, give or take fluctuation. Now, he This was before he passed

00:29:47 --> 00:29:52

away. He distributed 40,000 dinars in the path of Allah subhanaw

00:29:52 --> 00:29:54

taala imagine that to be

00:29:56 --> 00:30:00

you know, that's a huge amount of money out of that he gave 1/3 He

00:30:00 --> 00:30:03

distributed among the Mothers of the Believers are Aisha Radi

00:30:03 --> 00:30:06

Allahu Allah and the others. Another third he distributed among

00:30:06 --> 00:30:10

his family, his extended clan and family. And the other third he

00:30:10 --> 00:30:14

gave to the poor of the muslimeen I shot at the Allahu anha. Once

00:30:14 --> 00:30:16

she's sitting down, when she received a che, somebody came and

00:30:16 --> 00:30:20

said, this is given to you from Abdul Rahman a mouth or the

00:30:20 --> 00:30:23

Allahu, and this is your share. She said, Yes, the Prophet

00:30:23 --> 00:30:26

salallahu Alaihe. Salam had she remarked, that the Prophet said

00:30:26 --> 00:30:31

Allah is and has mentioned about his wives that only those, the

00:30:31 --> 00:30:34

patient ones, those who have a lot of patients, they will be they

00:30:34 --> 00:30:37

will have compassion towards the,

00:30:38 --> 00:30:41

the mothers, the Mothers of the Believers. Then he she made a dua

00:30:41 --> 00:30:45

for him. She said, May Allah give Abner out to drink from the

00:30:45 --> 00:30:49

seltzer bill of paradise, the special drink Sal sebelah, the

00:30:49 --> 00:30:51

special drink of paradise May Allah subhanho wa Taala give him

00:30:51 --> 00:30:55

that to drink. Now the more people you give to an each person gives

00:30:55 --> 00:30:59

you a bit of a DUA. Now remember, they don't have to if you give to

00:30:59 --> 00:31:02

people, they don't have to sit down and raise their hand and say

00:31:02 --> 00:31:06

May Allah reward such and such a person, the better dA is the one

00:31:06 --> 00:31:09

that is going to come from the heart spontaneously. Somebody

00:31:09 --> 00:31:12

gives you something and you think, Wow, man, that guy gave me this.

00:31:12 --> 00:31:16

So she gave me this, you know, that's a great act of kindness.

00:31:17 --> 00:31:20

And may Allah reward them just that feeling. That is what you

00:31:20 --> 00:31:23

call a serious dua. And can you imagine the more you give, the

00:31:23 --> 00:31:27

more people you get those kinds of dollars from, you can't have any

00:31:27 --> 00:31:32

better investment than that. Then he received more blessings from

00:31:32 --> 00:31:36

ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. So then he gave 500 horses to the warriors in

00:31:36 --> 00:31:42

one of the battles 500 horses, and horses worth a few, you know, a

00:31:42 --> 00:31:48

few 100 today, so 500 of them. And then he gave the next time he gave

00:31:48 --> 00:31:53

1500 horses, all he's out doing what he did before 1500 horses,

00:31:54 --> 00:31:59

starts off with strings, saving up and look what he gets to that he

00:31:59 --> 00:32:04

can get 1500 horses 40,000 dinars in the path of Allah subhanaw

00:32:04 --> 00:32:07

taala. And again, you don't know the level of his wealth, yet. This

00:32:07 --> 00:32:12

is nothing. This is nothing. When he became sick, and it seemed like

00:32:12 --> 00:32:17

his last days, he gave away 1/3 of his wealth. Generally, what people

00:32:17 --> 00:32:19

do is they make a bequest, they say, okay, when I die, then we

00:32:19 --> 00:32:23

give 1/3 of our wealth away, it's actually superior to give it

00:32:23 --> 00:32:27

before your wealth, because you still have the hope of recovering,

00:32:27 --> 00:32:29

and thus you're losing your wealth, that means it's stronger,

00:32:29 --> 00:32:32

because once you're gone, then let the wealth go. But when you're

00:32:32 --> 00:32:35

still alive, and you may end up living for another 10 years, but

00:32:35 --> 00:32:39

your wealth is gone now. So that is superior, superior to give

00:32:39 --> 00:32:42

while you're still alive. So what he did was this what he did at the

00:32:42 --> 00:32:48

end of his life, when he became ill he stayed mashallah old, he

00:32:48 --> 00:32:51

had a good ripe age until 75 years of age, gave 1/3 away.

00:32:52 --> 00:32:57

Beyond that, he said, Any sahabi, who took part in the Battle of

00:32:57 --> 00:33:01

brothers 313 Sahaba, some of them must have passed away, but there

00:33:01 --> 00:33:04

are probably still a significant amount from among them left. It

00:33:04 --> 00:33:08

says anybody who's from was part of the battle of butter. They each

00:33:08 --> 00:33:16

get 400 dinars each 400 times. You know, if 20 dinars is 2000. What

00:33:16 --> 00:33:21

is 400 going to be worth today? It's a it's quite a huge figure.

00:33:21 --> 00:33:24

Every battery Sahabi gets that. Now Earthman to the Allah, as you

00:33:24 --> 00:33:28

know, was a very wealthy Sahabi he came to pick up his share as well.

00:33:29 --> 00:33:32

So they said, if not, why are you doing that? You've got enough

00:33:32 --> 00:33:36

money? Why are you taking you know, why are you going to get his

00:33:36 --> 00:33:39

wealth that way, you're going to get your share as well. He said,

00:33:41 --> 00:33:46

This is not sadaqa from him. This is Silla. He's doing this as an

00:33:46 --> 00:33:50

act of kindness to join the bonds. And his wealth is halal wealth.

00:33:50 --> 00:33:55

It's pure wealth. And I want to part of that Subhanallah right. So

00:33:55 --> 00:33:59

this is the interaction that they had when he died. Now look at this

00:33:59 --> 00:34:02

when he passed away. He left uncountable wealth.

00:34:04 --> 00:34:06

He had three wives, and he passed away.

00:34:08 --> 00:34:11

Now, just to give you a bit of maths, inheritance laws, how much

00:34:11 --> 00:34:15

does a wife, a single wife, how much how much does a wife get from

00:34:15 --> 00:34:17

her husband's inheritance?

00:34:18 --> 00:34:21

She gets if they got if they don't have children, she gets a quarter.

00:34:22 --> 00:34:26

If they have children, she gets one eight. If a person has two

00:34:26 --> 00:34:31

wives or three wives, they share in that quarter or one eight. So

00:34:31 --> 00:34:34

now you can understand why we don't want co wives. Right? You

00:34:34 --> 00:34:36

get less money at the end of it. No, that's not the reason.

00:34:38 --> 00:34:40

There's bigger reasons in that right, which is completely fine if

00:34:40 --> 00:34:41

they don't want.

00:34:42 --> 00:34:48

So every one of his three wives that he left in cash alone, we're

00:34:48 --> 00:34:52

not counting the camels, the estates, the goats, the sheep, and

00:34:52 --> 00:34:58

everything else in material. Just cash alone. They received 80,000

00:34:58 --> 00:34:59

dinars each

00:35:00 --> 00:35:06

So if you say 80,000 times three 816 24 240,000 dinars that was 1/8

00:35:06 --> 00:35:11

of his wealth of his cash, wealth, liquid wealth as you would call

00:35:11 --> 00:35:16

it. SubhanAllah. So you're talking about huge amounts of money that

00:35:16 --> 00:35:20

Allah is just throwing on him, because he's spending huge

00:35:20 --> 00:35:25

amounts. Now, you had people like Earthman Zubayr, Abdullah hamari

00:35:25 --> 00:35:28

mouth spending like this in the path of Allah subhanaw taala,

00:35:28 --> 00:35:33

doing business spending in the path of Allah helping the cause of

00:35:33 --> 00:35:36

Islam and humanity. While then you had people like Abu Zubaydah

00:35:36 --> 00:35:40

ignorant genre, another one of the Ashara mashallah, and Salman al

00:35:40 --> 00:35:44

Farsi was not actual ambition. They had less but they were

00:35:44 --> 00:35:49

patient. So they were content, they were still content, they

00:35:49 --> 00:35:52

still had the color of Allah subhanaw taala you could not tell

00:35:52 --> 00:35:55

the difference between them. Despite one having so much and one

00:35:55 --> 00:35:59

not having as much they still play the same way on the fields.

00:35:59 --> 00:36:03

Subhanallah on one occasion, after the barista Lawson passed away, I

00:36:03 --> 00:36:08

shudder the Allahu Anhu is sitting in her home. And suddenly there's

00:36:08 --> 00:36:14

a massive commotion, big noise as though this big army has just come

00:36:14 --> 00:36:19

in with you know, you know, the whole the sound of everything that

00:36:19 --> 00:36:24

comes about and I show the Allahu anha and it raised so much dust

00:36:24 --> 00:36:28

that it filled the horizon so everybody could see it. I should

00:36:28 --> 00:36:31

have the Allahu Ana she looked she says what's happened what's going

00:36:31 --> 00:36:34

on in Medina you know, this must be something very special or

00:36:34 --> 00:36:38

something quite significant. So yeah Oman what Mini and this is

00:36:38 --> 00:36:43

the trade caravan of Abdul Rahman is now returning after its

00:36:43 --> 00:36:46

business trip is just come back from Sharm from the Levant from

00:36:46 --> 00:36:51

Syria etc. And it's carrying all of its all of its trade goods with

00:36:51 --> 00:36:54

it. Women want many nature the Allahu Anhu said

00:36:55 --> 00:36:59

such a caravan that makes such a racket such a big sound, such a

00:36:59 --> 00:37:04

big noise and so much, you know, create so much commotion said yes,

00:37:04 --> 00:37:11

yes, that's how big it is on will not mean 700 camels, laden with

00:37:11 --> 00:37:12

goods

00:37:13 --> 00:37:18

700 camels, as you know, so many trucks of goods that have just

00:37:18 --> 00:37:22

come in. So then she on this occasion, she said something else.

00:37:23 --> 00:37:26

She said, I've heard the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam saying

00:37:27 --> 00:37:33

that I have seen Abdul Rahman Ignatieff are the Allah one and

00:37:33 --> 00:37:33

two Jana,

00:37:34 --> 00:37:40

on his knees, not entering quickly, but just about entering

00:37:40 --> 00:37:44

on his knees, it shows that he's been left behind you understand,

00:37:45 --> 00:37:50

is not entering like as fast as the others. This message that I

00:37:50 --> 00:37:53

saw the alarm said it reached up there behind him now.

00:37:55 --> 00:38:00

It reached under 100. Now very soon, you know nowadays, you get

00:38:00 --> 00:38:03

people that will convey information as well for bad

00:38:03 --> 00:38:07

reasons which you call calumny or Mima, but this is obviously done

00:38:07 --> 00:38:10

out of advice from the Amal hurt the Amal Momineen the Mother of

00:38:10 --> 00:38:13

the Believers is saying this about Abdulhadi mouth

00:38:14 --> 00:38:19

Subhanallah that put the fear of Allah subhanaw taala in just that

00:38:19 --> 00:38:22

statement, he had everything to go by all water sewer Allah, Allah

00:38:22 --> 00:38:26

someone told him, but just that statement, put the fear of Allah

00:38:26 --> 00:38:31

subhanaw taala in his heart to such a degree that he said what

00:38:31 --> 00:38:36

Allah He learned Hulan the hub Wallah Hula, hula na Hubble laser

00:38:36 --> 00:38:40

Hadwen No, I'm going to leap into Jana. Not not I'm not going to

00:38:40 --> 00:38:44

drag myself into Jana. And then he said,

00:38:45 --> 00:38:48

he says, What's the problem? I can give sadaqa in the morning, and

00:38:48 --> 00:38:54

Allah will give me 1000s In the evening. And he said everything he

00:38:54 --> 00:38:59

said, he actually said she has just reminded me of a hadith that

00:38:59 --> 00:39:02

probably wasn't so he knew the same thing. He knew this

00:39:02 --> 00:39:05

statement. I should have just mentioned it again. He had just,

00:39:06 --> 00:39:10

it's just not recollected. But as soon as she said, he said, Yes,

00:39:10 --> 00:39:12

she's just reminded me of something that opposed the loss of

00:39:12 --> 00:39:18

did say, and I now make you witness that this entire caravan

00:39:18 --> 00:39:24

of 700 camels with all of its load and everything in it is sadaqa

00:39:26 --> 00:39:30

because I am going to jump I'm gonna rush into paradise. I'm not

00:39:30 --> 00:39:35

going to I'm not I'm not going to crawl into paradise. And that's

00:39:35 --> 00:39:39

because the actual Hadith on Rasulullah lorrison was yep mouth

00:39:39 --> 00:39:44

in a communal Alinea. Oh, if now if you are from the wealthy ones

00:39:44 --> 00:39:49

were in a considered hoorah. Jana to have one and you will enter

00:39:49 --> 00:39:51

Jana, you you will enter Jana

00:39:54 --> 00:39:59

dragging yourself for according to the law, give a loan

00:40:00 --> 00:40:04

Unto Allah subhanahu wa Tada, you liquid like a coda make, and he

00:40:04 --> 00:40:07

will set free your feet. The prophets, Allah some has said this

00:40:07 --> 00:40:11

as an advice to him, he didn't say that you will definitely enter

00:40:11 --> 00:40:14

like that. But because of the amount of wealth you have, it's a

00:40:14 --> 00:40:18

restriction for you. Because when you have too much simple example,

00:40:18 --> 00:40:21

when you have to fill in your tax forms, and the only thing you make

00:40:21 --> 00:40:24

is a basic salary, you don't even have to fill up a tax form your

00:40:24 --> 00:40:28

your employer does it. But if you've got income coming from

00:40:28 --> 00:40:32

rental property, from shares and stock, and from here and there and

00:40:32 --> 00:40:35

there, then you better pay an accountant to work out the best

00:40:35 --> 00:40:41

way for you to work your taxes, right? And then you have to kind

00:40:41 --> 00:40:43

of like really be careful how you do it. And you know how you save

00:40:43 --> 00:40:48

money but not be penalized and it gets complicated? It gets

00:40:48 --> 00:40:50

complicated, then you have to fill in all that other way. Just say

00:40:50 --> 00:40:53

not available. Na Na, no, no, no, that doesn't apply to me. So in

00:40:53 --> 00:40:56

the Hereafter, it's going to be something similar. Anything that

00:40:56 --> 00:40:58

we've been given, we're gonna have to answer for it. The Prophet

00:40:58 --> 00:41:01

sallallahu wanted to make it simple for himself. That's why he

00:41:01 --> 00:41:04

said, Oh, Allah, gather me among the miskeen gather me among the

00:41:04 --> 00:41:08

destitute, it's simple. few questions go in, no questions

00:41:08 --> 00:41:12

asked. You don't person going through in the airport, you got

00:41:12 --> 00:41:15

less than you just walk through. But if you've got these big shoes

00:41:15 --> 00:41:18

on, and you've got these big buckles on and lots of earrings

00:41:18 --> 00:41:22

on, and all this stuff, subhanAllah you know, it's going

00:41:22 --> 00:41:26

to take your time, same kind of thing. Subhan Allah Subhana Allah,

00:41:26 --> 00:41:29

I don't know where we are. Allah subhanaw taala just make it easy

00:41:29 --> 00:41:32

for us. Because I can't see us living without anything. It's

00:41:32 --> 00:41:36

difficult in this time and age to do that. But this is the example

00:41:36 --> 00:41:38

we have in the people like Earthman and Abdurrahman mouth.

00:41:39 --> 00:41:42

The reason they were able to do this was one simple thing. Mark

00:41:42 --> 00:41:46

these words, this is the most simplest thing, their money, their

00:41:46 --> 00:41:50

wealth, as much as it was, was in their hands. It wasn't in their

00:41:50 --> 00:41:51

heart.

00:41:52 --> 00:41:55

And when you have your money in your hands and not your heart,

00:41:55 --> 00:42:00

it's easy to spend it. It's easy to give it in the right direction

00:42:00 --> 00:42:03

in the right way. Because it's not taking your heart then it's easy.

00:42:03 --> 00:42:05

There's a separation between that you still have the money, you

00:42:05 --> 00:42:09

still can do what you want with it. But you have more control,

00:42:09 --> 00:42:12

because he does not control you. You are the master of your wealth.

00:42:12 --> 00:42:16

The wealth is not the master of us. Subhan Allah may Allah give us

00:42:16 --> 00:42:19

that till feast. That's exactly why I'm mentioning because I just

00:42:19 --> 00:42:22

find Abdurrahman him to have to be very inspirational in that regard,

00:42:22 --> 00:42:25

despite having more than many of us could ever, ever dream about.

00:42:26 --> 00:42:29

Yet they were still so focused. Because Allah says in the Quran,

00:42:29 --> 00:42:34

Allah in Santa Leia Taha Aurora who sterner in ilaro, Baker Raja,

00:42:35 --> 00:42:39

that the human being he becomes tyrannical when he sees himself

00:42:39 --> 00:42:42

becoming independent, in a sense, when you start standing on your

00:42:42 --> 00:42:45

own feet, when you start having some more disposable income, when

00:42:45 --> 00:42:49

you feel that the constraints that were on you, and now you can spend

00:42:49 --> 00:42:52

easily and you can just go and buy what you want, and shop you know,

00:42:52 --> 00:42:55

online as you want, and enjoy the prosperity that you have and have

00:42:55 --> 00:42:59

the latest phones etc. You start suddenly feeling a bit independent

00:42:59 --> 00:43:02

minded, you start suddenly feeling self reliant and conceited, you

00:43:02 --> 00:43:06

suddenly start feeling tyrannical in a sense. And that's where the

00:43:06 --> 00:43:08

problem comes. That's where Allah subhanaw taala said that, but he

00:43:08 --> 00:43:12

says in the law, Rob Baker Raja, you're going to return to Allah

00:43:12 --> 00:43:13

subhanaw taala

00:43:15 --> 00:43:19

I look every day at the food that Allah gives me on my sister when

00:43:19 --> 00:43:23

I'm sending you. And I thank Allah and I tell my family, thank Allah

00:43:23 --> 00:43:27

because this is not going to last forever. If we don't think Allah,

00:43:27 --> 00:43:29

because if you thank Allah, He gives you more. And if you don't

00:43:29 --> 00:43:33

think Allah, you don't get Baraka, then it's all a deceit, it's all

00:43:33 --> 00:43:37

deception. So I can sit and we will have fruit from one country,

00:43:37 --> 00:43:40

we'll have rice from another country, we'll have a masala from

00:43:40 --> 00:43:43

another country, we'll have desserts from another country, you

00:43:43 --> 00:43:46

go in as this, you go in your supermarkets, you have aisles of

00:43:46 --> 00:43:50

foreign food, we have everything at our disposal, and the ability

00:43:50 --> 00:43:54

to buy it and have it and we have safety. And almost Simran sisters

00:43:54 --> 00:43:57

around the world don't have safety. So if we don't thank Allah

00:43:57 --> 00:44:00

for what Allah has given us, then what's going to happen? I'm

00:44:00 --> 00:44:03

honest, you need to think about this. Allah has given us so much

00:44:03 --> 00:44:07

it's amazing what Allah has given us. Allah don't make it a

00:44:07 --> 00:44:08

deception for us.

00:44:10 --> 00:44:14

What use is that? What uses that? Then? Somebody asked him, How do

00:44:14 --> 00:44:18

you get so much wealth? What do you do? And then he mentioned some

00:44:18 --> 00:44:21

of his business ethics. He says, I never sell loans. Basically, he

00:44:21 --> 00:44:24

doesn't deal with interest. He doesn't deal with that kind of

00:44:24 --> 00:44:28

stuff at all. He was just was all straightforward dealing by small

00:44:28 --> 00:44:31

build up and then mashallah you've got ability and Allah will give

00:44:31 --> 00:44:35

you the baraka, believe me, you will have the ability afterwards.

00:44:36 --> 00:44:41

This was his life afterwards. He sat down once with his friends in

00:44:41 --> 00:44:46

his house. And nice dish was placed in front of them meat and

00:44:46 --> 00:44:49

rice or something like that meat and bread.

00:44:50 --> 00:44:51

And he started crying.

00:44:52 --> 00:44:56

He just started weeping, my Yukia about Mohammed what's making you

00:44:56 --> 00:44:57

weep? Oh Abu Mohammed

00:44:59 --> 00:44:59

and he's

00:45:00 --> 00:45:00

said

00:45:02 --> 00:45:06

And if Allah has given an ability to people to reflect and to

00:45:06 --> 00:45:09

compare themselves with when they don't have or others that don't

00:45:09 --> 00:45:13

have, then think that that's an atma from Allah subhanaw taala

00:45:13 --> 00:45:17

because that will stop the tyranny in its tracks. It will keep us

00:45:17 --> 00:45:22

balanced, it will keep us focused. He said, Look at Mirtha Rasulullah

00:45:22 --> 00:45:26

he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Rama shabbier who looked at him in

00:45:26 --> 00:45:33

Hubzu. Cherie wama Ana Ana ohana, Lima hua hai Ramana he said, that

00:45:33 --> 00:45:37

Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam passed away, and never once did

00:45:37 --> 00:45:42

his fill his stomach, and never did he satiate himself ever eat to

00:45:42 --> 00:45:48

his fill with, with barley with barley. And I feel that with all

00:45:48 --> 00:45:51

the riches that Allah has given us, he's giving us advanced

00:45:51 --> 00:45:53

bounties of the hereafter in this world.

00:45:54 --> 00:45:58

So they are, they're so focused on the hereafter that they're feeling

00:45:58 --> 00:46:00

that they're getting their parts of the agenda that they should get

00:46:00 --> 00:46:02

in the hereafter they're getting it early in the world. So they

00:46:02 --> 00:46:04

will be deprived in the hereafter.

00:46:05 --> 00:46:07

So it will go across the dignity and once he was brought, he asked

00:46:07 --> 00:46:11

for water and they brought him water that was mixed with

00:46:11 --> 00:46:14

something to make it more pleasant because there there was always a

00:46:14 --> 00:46:18

scarcity of good water. Right? Just like London has a scarcity of

00:46:18 --> 00:46:19

good water.

00:46:20 --> 00:46:22

What I mean is I can't drink the tap water here I have a problem

00:46:22 --> 00:46:27

with it tastes like chlorine. I've lived out London for such a long

00:46:27 --> 00:46:29

time when I come back and if you can drink London water then thank

00:46:29 --> 00:46:33

that's it. That that is a bounty of Allah because I can't I have to

00:46:33 --> 00:46:36

buy my water. Seriously, I'm not joking. I can't drink the water

00:46:36 --> 00:46:40

from the tap unless and really and it's very cold so it masks the

00:46:40 --> 00:46:43

taste right? Just can't do it up north mashallah I was once in

00:46:43 --> 00:46:46

Blackburn I had a program there and they're serving the bottled

00:46:46 --> 00:46:50

water I think you guys are crazy. You got wonderful water why you

00:46:50 --> 00:46:54

why you spending money for all of the left hand side when you when

00:46:54 --> 00:46:58

you look at Birmingham and up all that water is nice it tastes nice

00:46:59 --> 00:47:01

right but London water I can't take your money

00:47:03 --> 00:47:04

anybody else's problem with

00:47:05 --> 00:47:06

with London water

00:47:08 --> 00:47:09

you do? What do you just make that up right now?

00:47:11 --> 00:47:13

Believe me if you don't and you can drink from then enjoy it. I

00:47:13 --> 00:47:16

can go to Birmingham and mashallah just drink glasses of water and

00:47:17 --> 00:47:21

you actually feel good about it. You know, like somebody's given

00:47:21 --> 00:47:24

you a good drink Subhanallah I think it's just deprivation on my

00:47:24 --> 00:47:24

behalf.

00:47:25 --> 00:47:29

You know, another distinction of Abdulhadi mouth, very respectable,

00:47:29 --> 00:47:32

honorable individual prophets also had a lot of respect for him, as

00:47:32 --> 00:47:36

well. And on one occasion, during the Battle of taboo, the Prophet

00:47:36 --> 00:47:40

said Allah was with Mahira ebrochure Abba Radi Allahu another

00:47:40 --> 00:47:42

Sahabi. He went aside for a while

00:47:43 --> 00:47:43

and

00:47:45 --> 00:47:48

to do something, and then Roy's awesome relieved himself and did

00:47:48 --> 00:47:50

we'll do and we'll hit him in Shaba helped him out. When they

00:47:50 --> 00:47:53

came back. It was solid time just pass a law time. And that's how we

00:47:53 --> 00:47:56

decided to stop praying for some reason. And who did they put

00:47:56 --> 00:48:00

forward? Abdul Rahman if the oath or the Allah one. So I'm gonna

00:48:00 --> 00:48:03

hand it over just finished one record. Now he's on the second

00:48:03 --> 00:48:06

record, and that's when the prophets Allah, some arrived, and

00:48:06 --> 00:48:09

Mahira in the show, but tried to say, you know, try to shout out to

00:48:09 --> 00:48:13

say up there. Oh, we're here. Now we're here. No, no leaving. And

00:48:13 --> 00:48:14

they prayed behind.

00:48:15 --> 00:48:19

Abdurrahman bow for the Allah one. And after the salad finished and

00:48:19 --> 00:48:21

they turned around, they saw the promise that awesome day, you can

00:48:21 --> 00:48:25

imagine what they felt. What did we just do? But the promise that

00:48:25 --> 00:48:28

loves was so cool. He was just so good. He said, I've got a sub two

00:48:28 --> 00:48:32

sub term called centum You did the right thing. You did the best

00:48:32 --> 00:48:33

thing that was what you're supposed to do.

00:48:35 --> 00:48:38

Subhanallah look at the way the prophets Allah Psalm used to deal

00:48:38 --> 00:48:41

with the Sahaba if they had conflicts, they were human beings

00:48:41 --> 00:48:44

that had certain conflicts between them. So once Khalid bin Walid and

00:48:44 --> 00:48:47

Abdul Rahman lived out, they had a bit of a tussle about some sort.

00:48:47 --> 00:48:52

So Abdurrahman, Hypno, elf, he went and complained to to prophesy

00:48:52 --> 00:48:54

Allah some about how they've been worried or the Allahu and the

00:48:54 --> 00:48:57

Prophet sallallahu sallam said, Yeah, harlot limit to the original

00:48:57 --> 00:49:01

Amin Ali Baba, why are you? Why are you messing around? Why are

00:49:01 --> 00:49:04

you harming why you inconveniencing a man who was in

00:49:04 --> 00:49:06

the Battle of brother, because he didn't win either they only became

00:49:06 --> 00:49:10

Muslim afterwards. He was on the other side, you know before so

00:49:10 --> 00:49:13

it's a why you're doing that to a brother. It's a hobby. Right? So

00:49:13 --> 00:49:17

how did Ben Walid know then he said then he said, he says lo

00:49:17 --> 00:49:21

unfucked Mithila or Dendermonde lamb to the camera. If you now

00:49:21 --> 00:49:26

spent the mount or heard in, in gold, if you had that and you

00:49:26 --> 00:49:28

spent it in the path of Allah so you could get the honor of being

00:49:28 --> 00:49:31

in the Battle of butter on the right side, you will not be able

00:49:31 --> 00:49:36

to get it. That's what he has. So he really gave the merits of

00:49:36 --> 00:49:39

Abdulhadi winner over the Allah on to toto look take it easy with

00:49:39 --> 00:49:39

him.

00:49:40 --> 00:49:43

So hard has been really that the alone he said, Yeah rasool Allah,

00:49:43 --> 00:49:45

they also they're doing this to me and you know, this is what they

00:49:45 --> 00:49:49

say about me. So now, this the price that Allah has is wonderful,

00:49:49 --> 00:49:53

he said to the other side on which I'm drama now for the aloneness he

00:49:53 --> 00:49:59

says love to Haledon don't do this 200 Because for inner who safe

00:49:59 --> 00:50:00

woman so you feel love

00:50:00 --> 00:50:04

A sub Rahula who I will prefer, he is because he is the he's a sort

00:50:04 --> 00:50:07

of Allah he's a sort of the swords of Allah subhanaw taala which

00:50:07 --> 00:50:12

Allah has poured over the disbelievers once abdur-rahim Now

00:50:12 --> 00:50:13

for the Allah when was fasting,

00:50:15 --> 00:50:18

and His food was brought to him. And again, he started weeping. He

00:50:18 --> 00:50:22

says, You can tell by this, what kind of frame of mind he was he

00:50:22 --> 00:50:25

had all of his wealth, but it wasn't in his heart because if it

00:50:25 --> 00:50:27

was he'd never think this way.

00:50:28 --> 00:50:33

He said, so why are you crying, eat he says, you know, a person

00:50:33 --> 00:50:38

better than me most ignorant are made. When he was martyred. He

00:50:38 --> 00:50:42

didn't have a cloth large enough to cover him. His feet were left

00:50:42 --> 00:50:45

uncovered. If you tried to cover his feet, his head was left

00:50:45 --> 00:50:48

uncovered. That's how they went from the world. And then another

00:50:48 --> 00:50:52

person Hamza, or the Allah one, when he was martyred, they didn't

00:50:52 --> 00:50:56

have a cloth to cover him with. And today I have this and then he

00:50:56 --> 00:50:59

didn't eat the foods. He didn't eat the foods.

00:51:00 --> 00:51:03

This was just states that he would go through to deal with the world.

00:51:03 --> 00:51:08

This is this is a lesson for us this reflection, so it doesn't get

00:51:08 --> 00:51:08

to our head

00:51:10 --> 00:51:14

and just giving us practical solutions here. In fact,

00:51:17 --> 00:51:20

he he made a similar statement when he was about to pass away he

00:51:20 --> 00:51:23

started crying. And he said the same he said most of you know me

00:51:23 --> 00:51:27

when he died, he was like this. And when Hamza, the Allah when he

00:51:27 --> 00:51:31

passed away, he was like this. And I just feel that my bounties of

00:51:31 --> 00:51:35

Jannah are all been given to me in this world. And I am now going to

00:51:35 --> 00:51:39

be prevented from the rest of my companions, and I'm going to stay

00:51:39 --> 00:51:41

behind in my entry into Jana.

00:51:42 --> 00:51:47

He was always concerned like that he passed away in 31 Hijiri after

00:51:47 --> 00:51:51

Rasulullah sallallahu sins migration 31 add 20 years or so

00:51:51 --> 00:51:54

after the person passed away, and he was

00:51:56 --> 00:52:00

75 years old. He is buried in the Bucky in the graveyard in the

00:52:00 --> 00:52:04

bhakti Romana the Allahu Anhu prayed Salah on him. Now look how

00:52:04 --> 00:52:07

great he was that he should have the Allahu anha

00:52:09 --> 00:52:11

after the prophets, Allah some pasta, we promise that our son was

00:52:11 --> 00:52:17

buried in her room, she still continued to stay there. Right? It

00:52:17 --> 00:52:21

had it has just enough place for literally for people to be buried

00:52:21 --> 00:52:24

inside. That's how big the room was right? Not a mansion. That's

00:52:24 --> 00:52:28

how big the room was. So now the profit or loss is buried. Then

00:52:29 --> 00:52:33

her father passed away Abu Bakr Siddiq or the Allah one. So she

00:52:33 --> 00:52:36

allowed him to be buried next to the Prophet salallahu Salam. Now

00:52:36 --> 00:52:38

there's enough space still just for you know, for her to live

00:52:38 --> 00:52:42

there. Then Amara, the Allahu anhu, when he was stabbed, and he

00:52:42 --> 00:52:45

felt that these were his last moments, he asked his son to go to

00:52:45 --> 00:52:50

each other the Allahu anha and ask her if he would be allowed to be

00:52:50 --> 00:52:52

buried next to his two companions.

00:52:53 --> 00:52:56

Like just an off like, let's try it out. I shouldn't say well, I

00:52:56 --> 00:52:59

was leaving it for myself. But since you asked, I will give you a

00:52:59 --> 00:53:03

preference. On what to do. I was so fair that he told his son look

00:53:03 --> 00:53:07

when I actually die, go and ask her again. So there is no

00:53:07 --> 00:53:10

compulsion right now. I'm still the Ameerul Momineen. She might

00:53:10 --> 00:53:15

feel compelled. But when I pass away, then she can say no, you

00:53:15 --> 00:53:18

know? And literally, if she says no, just take me to the bucket

00:53:18 --> 00:53:22

just take me to the main graveyard. No argument. But of

00:53:22 --> 00:53:25

course she allowed. Now when she was there, she put up a divider

00:53:25 --> 00:53:30

after that, although he's buried, he in the ground. She says until

00:53:30 --> 00:53:33

now I had my father and my husband. Now I have a stranger in

00:53:33 --> 00:53:36

my room. She still stayed in the room. She just had a bit of space

00:53:36 --> 00:53:38

left. Right. And

00:53:40 --> 00:53:43

she would never be uncovered after him. Her hair would never be

00:53:43 --> 00:53:44

uncovered.

00:53:45 --> 00:53:48

Or Gee, what kind of level of modesty these these people had.

00:53:49 --> 00:53:52

She offered or later on when Abdurrahman him now off was about

00:53:52 --> 00:53:57

to pass away she offered that I'll give you the space. She didn't

00:53:57 --> 00:53:59

offer to anybody else. After Obama or

00:54:01 --> 00:54:04

promise alyssum Obama and Obama are buried there. She offered that

00:54:04 --> 00:54:08

final space to Abdurrahman. Dibner off. Can you imagine what kind of

00:54:08 --> 00:54:12

honor he he was holding? And he said no. He himself said he said,

00:54:12 --> 00:54:16

No, I don't want to tie I don't want to squeeze you out of your

00:54:16 --> 00:54:19

house. Basically, I don't want to tight in your room anymore. You

00:54:19 --> 00:54:23

don't have enough space there at all. Very fair, individual, very

00:54:23 --> 00:54:28

fair individual. And this, there's so many stories about him and what

00:54:28 --> 00:54:30

are they allowing us to use him at crucial times.

00:54:32 --> 00:54:36

crucial times when no decision could be made Abdurrahman outcome,

00:54:36 --> 00:54:38

and he would make a decision and they would listen to that

00:54:38 --> 00:54:39

decision.

00:54:41 --> 00:54:45

So the story is long about how Amada the owner made a committee

00:54:45 --> 00:54:48

of six people and said the next leaf has to be among the six

00:54:48 --> 00:54:51

because these are the remaining six people who the Prophet Solomon

00:54:51 --> 00:54:53

was satisfied with well before he passed away.

00:54:56 --> 00:54:59

So you had of course Earthman and Oliver the Allahu Anhu among them

00:54:59 --> 00:54:59

as well.

00:55:00 --> 00:55:04

So finally it came to the case where Abdurrahman o saw that

00:55:04 --> 00:55:07

matters weren't. And they were told that they must make a

00:55:07 --> 00:55:10

decision in three days, they were not allowed to go out and visit

00:55:10 --> 00:55:12

other people and other people weren't allowed to come and visit

00:55:12 --> 00:55:16

them. So there could be no outside influence. There was also an army

00:55:17 --> 00:55:21

of a number of people standing outside to make sure to force them

00:55:21 --> 00:55:26

to impose any decision they made if the need came to that, and

00:55:26 --> 00:55:29

there were certain guidelines on what to do when placed. Finally

00:55:29 --> 00:55:32

Abdurrahman him now if he said, Look, let me let me make the

00:55:32 --> 00:55:36

decision. Do you give it over to me, I'll make the decision. So I'm

00:55:36 --> 00:55:40

taking myself out of it, but I'll I'll be become the arbitrator.

00:55:40 --> 00:55:43

Finally, he became the arbitrator, and it came down to earth man and

00:55:43 --> 00:55:47

it really Allah Juan. And then he went and privately asked a number

00:55:47 --> 00:55:49

of individuals and he found that Earth mana the Allahu Anhu would

00:55:49 --> 00:55:52

be the best suited individual for that. And he asked each one

00:55:52 --> 00:55:55

individually with one earlier the Allahu on that, are you, you know,

00:55:55 --> 00:55:59

would you be fine if he the next one was 11? They said, Yeah, we'll

00:55:59 --> 00:56:02

be fine with that. And he asked Earthman he said yes, with add on

00:56:02 --> 00:56:05

as well. Finally with one was given beta, and then he was the

00:56:05 --> 00:56:09

holly for over 10 years after Amara, the Allah one, but his

00:56:09 --> 00:56:12

numerous other stories about where he came in and he would bring

00:56:12 --> 00:56:16

Hadith at the right time. He was a man for the, you know, to come in

00:56:16 --> 00:56:18

at the right time, for example, or one of the Allah one. He went to

00:56:18 --> 00:56:24

shum they get to they got to a place in the Shami army was

00:56:24 --> 00:56:26

already fighting there. And if you remember, there's a famous plague

00:56:26 --> 00:56:31

that took place, the plague of the worse. So many people are killed

00:56:31 --> 00:56:35

in that. Now, the question is, should this armor the Allah horns

00:56:35 --> 00:56:38

army go forward or come back? Should it go into the area that's

00:56:38 --> 00:56:41

afflicted by plague? Or should it come back to Madina? Munawwara

00:56:41 --> 00:56:43

some Sahaba saying, yes, you should

00:56:44 --> 00:56:48

coddle you know, in fact, obey the original Gerasa term or the Allah

00:56:48 --> 00:56:52

one at the federal mencoder Allah, are you running away from the

00:56:52 --> 00:56:54

decree of Allah? He says, Yeah, we are running away from the decree

00:56:54 --> 00:56:57

of Allah to the decree of Allah. You don't know what the decree of

00:56:57 --> 00:57:01

Allah is. Right? So so he was like, yes, you should carry on.

00:57:01 --> 00:57:05

But there were others who, who, who said, No, let's go back. I'm

00:57:05 --> 00:57:09

the Ramana wasn't there suddenly pops in. And he says, I in

00:57:09 --> 00:57:12

Rasulullah, sallAllahu, he brought brought a hadith in which he

00:57:12 --> 00:57:14

remembered the Rasulullah sallallahu sallam said, if there

00:57:14 --> 00:57:17

is a place you hear, there's a plague there. Don't go in there.

00:57:17 --> 00:57:22

And if you're already there, don't come out. It stops the stops. It

00:57:22 --> 00:57:26

doesn't become contagious then. Right? So he would come in at

00:57:26 --> 00:57:29

moments like that, in fact, oh my god, Allahu Anhu. And he was going

00:57:29 --> 00:57:31

to fight a great battle, the first time they were going to have the

00:57:31 --> 00:57:34

excursions to Persia, or what have you and decided that I'm going to

00:57:34 --> 00:57:38

go out myself in the head of the army. He went out for a short

00:57:38 --> 00:57:40

distance I'm married now for dinner was the one who told him,

00:57:40 --> 00:57:44

You know, I don't think you should go out, you should get one of the

00:57:44 --> 00:57:46

great commanders, let them go, and you should stay in Madina

00:57:46 --> 00:57:50

Munawwara, because if anything happens to this army, that's the

00:57:50 --> 00:57:54

end of it. He could foresee that Meridiana was a very great asset,

00:57:54 --> 00:57:57

and he should not be put in this Jeopardy. You stay in Madina,

00:57:57 --> 00:58:00

Munawwara and you, you know, you, you give the guidance from there,

00:58:00 --> 00:58:03

let somebody else go. And I've thought about it and said yes, and

00:58:03 --> 00:58:06

he went back. So he would listen to people like Abdul Rahman now

00:58:06 --> 00:58:09

for the Allah. There's many, much more to say. But I just want to

00:58:09 --> 00:58:14

say the reason I brought him up is because of the wealth that he had.

00:58:14 --> 00:58:19

And yet it did not reach his heart and her head in the way it does to

00:58:19 --> 00:58:22

us today, where we have a bit of money, we get a new phone, we

00:58:22 --> 00:58:25

start fleshing it around, we get a new dress, we start showing off

00:58:25 --> 00:58:28

around we start acting in a particular way that people will

00:58:28 --> 00:58:31

look at us know that we think we're something it's just the

00:58:31 --> 00:58:36

nature of these things. But once we read, remember our mortality,

00:58:36 --> 00:58:40

we remember our hereafter, we remember who we really are. And if

00:58:40 --> 00:58:44

we can associate ourselves with Allah subhanaw taala to such a

00:58:44 --> 00:58:47

degree, then regardless of what's in this world, Allah will only

00:58:47 --> 00:58:51

give us more, Allah will only give us more as we give in his path.

00:58:51 --> 00:58:54

Allah will give us more and not allow it to reach our heart. And I

00:58:54 --> 00:58:57

ask Allah for that for all of us. Because you're sitting here in

00:58:57 --> 00:59:00

Imperial College, one of the top universities in the world I think,

00:59:00 --> 00:59:02

is it? What number was it?

00:59:03 --> 00:59:06

Sorry, actually saw us was supposed to be number one, they

00:59:06 --> 00:59:10

just forgot to put it on. Right? Somehow Imperial got there because

00:59:10 --> 00:59:14

it's got a nice name Imperial sounds imperialistic. Right does

00:59:14 --> 00:59:17

it I hope he doesn't make you like that. Right there. You've got a

00:59:17 --> 00:59:21

lot going for you in sha Allah, Allah give you all Baraka, you

00:59:21 --> 00:59:24

guys are going to do a lot in sha Allah once you finish, but don't

00:59:24 --> 00:59:28

let it get to your head be the be like the Sahaba you're gonna have

00:59:28 --> 00:59:32

no better example than the Sahaba you're gonna have no better

00:59:32 --> 00:59:35

example in the Sahaba get a book called higher to Sahaba higher to

00:59:35 --> 00:59:40

Sahaba the lives of the Sahaba Subhanallah it this is a manual of

00:59:40 --> 00:59:43

life. It's a manual of life. May Allah subhanaw taala give us a

00:59:43 --> 00:59:46

tool feet working with Darwin Anil hamdulillah

00:59:49 --> 00:59:52
