Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim
Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa Salatu was Salam ala Sayyidina
Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa Baraka was a limiter, Sleeman,
cathedra on Isla Yomi, Dean and Mubarak.
We were on the last Hadith of the chapter about how the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wasallam lived his life. And we were on a
discussion about the contrast between different Sahaba some
Sahaba were very wealthy. And there were other Sahaba who
remained very poor. And I think the contrast would be between like
the US House sofa
among which Abu Huraira the Allah Who and others, we used to stay
stay hungry a lot of the time. And on the other hand, you had people
like Arthur Mann or the Allah one you had
Abdurrahman him now for the Allah one, you had Zubaydah in an hour.
These are very, very wealthy individuals. So we were discussing
that the profit or loss and prefer to remain poor, despite the fact
that he could have had the surrounding areas of maca or
Madina, Munawwara turned into gold for him. But he said to Allah
subhanho, wa Taala that rather, stay hungry for a day. And so I
can make sober to Allah subhanho wa taala. And the other day I can
eat and be thankful to Allah subhana wa Tada. And there's many
reasons given for why poverty would be better because you've got
less of a questioning, less of a reckoning, less things to think
about less things to be concerned about, and it's supposed to be
easier in the hereafter. So now then the question that arises is
that what about the sahaba? Who had huge amount of riches? What
about them? How did they manage to deal with the situation if money
is so corrupting, if money is so corruptive, then how is it that
the Sahaba were able to avoid becoming corrupted by that, and
that's the discussion we were on that the Prophet salallahu Alaihe
Salam took them through such a stage in the beginning the
prophets of Allah and took them through such training in the
beginning, by himself preferring so less and Amiga sustenance, and
he made them do the same thing. And he trained them under that. So
when training in that kind of state with less substance,
substance, less subsistence, and the image is being raised is one
of the best training grounds. So when the when the money did come
in, when when the money did come in, it didn't make a difference to
them. The image was so strong that now they could take any state that
came upon them, they could deal with anything that came upon them.
And you see that the Sahaba regardless of where they went,
they were able to hold on to their faith. You never hear about any
Sahabi after Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam becoming an apostate
for example. But you see them they wherever they went, they are
beacons of light. So essentially that's what we're looking at. For
example, let's look at Abdullah heard it now for the Allah when he
when he was one of the first to become Muslim as well as the man
or the Allah is another one that was one of the first to become
Muslim. Another thing is that they are from the actual humble
Bashara. They are from the 10 that have been given the glad tidings
of paradise, despite their riches, in fact, disobeyed if not our
melody Alana is also among them. Zubayr Earthman, Abdurrahman is
now all three of them are characterized as the, as the 10,
that have been given the glad tidings of paradise. And the
strangest thing is you, you see, none of us have us have a sofa in
in the 10.
You see, none of the US have a sofa who could be considered the
poorest of the poor. None of them are in the, in the 10 that I've
been given the glad tidings of paradise, which is, after the fall
of art, that is the highest ranking that you can have, which
goes to prove for us in our situation right now. Where we
could be considered wealthy from that perspective, that you could
still, even though you've got wealth, as long as the Iman and
your faith is strong enough, you can still succeed because these
three Sahaba considered those who had huge amounts and I'll give you
an example of that. And still they are considered the US hub they are
considered out of the 10. Among the 10. For example, if you look
at
Adorama now for the Allah one. On one occasion, he gave sadaqa in
charity, you know how much this whole
whole contingent of
of camels 700 camels.
One camel today cost about 1000 pounds, I would say.
So we're talking about a 700 camels we're talking about, he
just gave him in South Africa.
They had come he earned him somehow. And it wasn't just the
camp.
Walls, dirty camels, you know, like, loads of them? No, these
were with everything that comes with them fully equipped saddles.
And everything that goes with a camel. Everything equipped all the
equipment, the coverings at night and everything.
So when they gave they gave Well, it wasn't like okay, this stuff
isn't this stuff isn't isn't gonna go too well, not gonna make too
much money on here. All right, give this in South Africa. You
know this stuff is kind of reject stock. It's not like that no they
they gave in South Africa Subhanallah we can really learn
from this. And it's also related that he
freed 30,000 slaves
30,000 slaves He freed. Can you imagine the reward for just that?
I mean, that may have been over the course of his life. But 30,000
is not a joke. That's emancipating 330 1000 humans that would have
been in slavery.
But can you imagine the amount of money he had to do this? What kind
of profits he was making? What kind of business was taking place
there? 30,000 slaves, how do you get 30,000 slaves on his bequest
at his death, he gave a sea of 50,000 dinars and 1000 horses to
be given the path of Allah subhanaw taala that could have
been probably 1/3 of his wealth up. That had to be obviously out
of 1/3 of his wealth.
He had a huge amount.
And for the Omaha to what meaning because the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam had chosen him to be the kind of caretaker that if
the wives of Rasulullah sallallahu. Some needed anything
afterwards, the lesson was death. He had, he had the trust in
Draheim mouth and had instructed him and advised him that he should
take care of them. So he left for them. I'm drama now for them, a
very large orchard that was then sold for 400,000.
When it was sold, that was the value of it. And then for the for
those of the Sahaba, who had taken part in the first battle of
butter, whoever was remaining of them, because they hold another
after the 10 they hold a very special place. He left for them he
gave for them for every one that was left of them. Every single one
of them 400 dinars.
20 dinars today is worth over 2000 pounds. So we're talking about
some huge amount of money that he's given to those left over
those who are still remaining, that had taken part in the Battle
of butter. And you know how many people they were at that time out
of the 330 How many were left 100. So for to each 100 to each one of
those 100. He gave that for 400 dinars
and among them, then they took it and among them was Earth man with
the Allah one as well.
Because there was a man who there was one of those who are in battle
a brother, he was one of the remainders he took it as well.
Baraka, his wealth had increased so much, why, because the prophets
Allah had made the offering for Baraka.
One Two of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam for him. Baraka,
he just didn't know where to stop his wealth. And that's why he used
to say himself, lo refer to hijo de
la Rojo to an OC batata, who the Herban
he says, If I pick up a stone,
I could be hopeful of finding gold underneath. You know, nowadays,
they say that he can throw the dice anyhow. And he gets, you
know, he always wins.
Right? It's that kind of a statement, I can I can make money
where, I mean, Allah has given me so much blessing that I could pick
up a stone and hope that there's gold and it probably will be
there. It's a metaphorical statement. I don't know if it's
literal, but he is definitely metaphorical.
And when he did day, they did dig up gold from his land, that may
have been buried there by him or by, you know, for his business or
whatever it was. And every one of his four wives got
80,000
That was their share. 80,000 Every one of the wives and a wife gets
a, if they've got children, he obviously had children. Then a
wife only gets 1/8 of what the husband left leaves. One eight,
and if you've got four ways that one eight is divided among the
four, so it's not each one gets 118 So can you imagine that if
each one of them from there we Rotha from the inheritance got
80,000 times four. What is that? Four times at
330.
That is it.
that we could get an idea is that much? How much should you say
again?
320,000 is 1/8 of his wealth? How much did they get? Yeah. 80. So
328 320,000 That's right 320,000 That's equivalent to a one eight
of his wealth. That's one opinion was at some say was 100,000. So it
was around, I mean, it's your 100 it's still a huge amount of money.
Now, the thing about this is that if it's somebody who is not whose
Eman and faith is not developed, because at the end of the day,
it's all about how strong your faith is, because everything else
is just substance, you got a lot, you got less. It's just what your
faith will do, what your what your inside is going to demand from
you. And if your inside is nurtured well, where the greed has
been taken out, and there is no no excessive avarice and greed and,
you know, there's no miserliness. You know, this compassion for
people. There's this desire to do things for for an ulterior motive,
altruistic motive for the sake of God, for example, then, obviously,
it's going to be a problem if you don't have that kind of nurturing.
And that was, that was the issue. So anybody who doesn't have that
kind of Imani strength, that strength of faith, then obviously,
it will take on his heart, and it will money and wealth is going to
prevent him from reaching his Lord, because that's the nature of
money. Your Iman has to be stronger than your greed for
money, essentially, that's what it is. And we can think to ourselves
is our love for money stronger than our love for God.
If your love for God is stronger than your money, then it doesn't
matter, you could have a huge amount of money and wouldn't
effect you.
Otherwise, even a small amount will affect you.
So for the person who doesn't have strong faith, then small amounts
is better, because it's just less of a problem, less of mischief for
that person. And the person will be considered the Faqir, according
to Allah a poor person. And for that reason, his heart will be
clear, you won't be occupied in his thoughts. And based on that,
the rewards will be higher, because there's no occupation in
the mind.
And the reason is, that it's not the movement of your body that
Allah subhanaw taala looks at, in your solid in our solid, the
movement of our body, that's not what Allah is looking at. He's
looking our state of mind how much concentration and devotion we have
in that prayer.
Right, it could be one person who does just the basic amount of
solid, but his solid is superior than the one who does huge
amounts, but the heart is not there. So that's, that's what it
is. And the kind of concentration a person has in Allah subhanaw
taala, and the kind of emotion that is being created in that, in
that worship for the person. So the person who doesn't have any
occupation with huge amounts of wealth and his business and things
like that, then it's going to be quote, he's going to be closer to
Allah subhanho wa taala.
And that's where Allah subhanaw taala he could have started off
Islam among people who are very wealthy. But now it started off
with the poorest of the poor. And Allah subhanaw taala had them
trained in that kind of a situation first. So all the
initial companions, they had to go through that, in fact, the ones
even if they were wealthy in Makkah Mecca Rama, when they left
to Madina, Munawwara they had to literally go empty handed.
Abdurrahman mouth restart in Madina, Munawwara
the one of the people, one of the uncertainties that the prophets,
Allah ism had made him a brother of said, hey, I'll give you half
he says, No, I don't need it. Just show me where the market is. He
could just go there and do whatever he wanted. And we're
talking about all of his wealth after that. So you know, even if
somebody's lost, I mean, I know one person, he had to leave one
country literally overnight. I mean, in the course of the day, he
had a number of cars, he took one of them, drove to the airport,
left it there in the parking lot and flew to another country.
Right. And very wealthy, but there was some immigration or some
issue, something like that.
He's another country has been just three years or something like
that. He's wealthy there as well. But he gives he gives, I've seen
him give. And I was surprised that amount that he gives, you know, he
took this one scholar aside and he says, you know, this is I don't
need it. I'm not in need, you know, and not sadaqa I'm not poor.
He goes, No, this is for you. And then he gave him an additional few
100. And he said, In your country when you go back, if there's any
scholar that you find a scholar who doesn't have enough and give
him this,
right. We're just talking about people who just like to give and
I've seen with my own eyes, I mean his prosperity. So Allah subhanaw
taala
tested the Sahaba, in the beginning of the, in the beginning
of this, starting of the, of Islam, with, with hunger, until
when they knew what and their light and the inside, then light
was fully illuminated, the insides were purified, they had nurtured
their hearts. And
they had taken out all of the vile traits.
Then Allah subhanaw taala opened it up for them,
for many of them, but they remain strong.
And the Prophet salallahu, Salam himself, though he refused, he
constantly gave preference to having as less as possible, and
just enough to survive on and sometimes nothing at all, just so
that the vast amount of people
that don't have, they can look at this man and say, he's the
greatest of the people as they claim to be. But look, he's got
nothing.
And he did this just and the other reason he did this was that his
own mobile follow him. It's like, for example, you want to teach
your son to stay away from fighting with people. Right.
And somebody gives you a slur, somebody, kind of, you know,
provokes you. But you know that you can take them down quite
easily. But you don't, because your children are with you. And
you kind of show that, you know, ignore it turn the other way, go
away, just so that your children can learn. Obviously, you get
parents who will take somebody on will actually provoke somebody
just to toughen their children, or they think they are. So you got
these little five year olds coming at you and hissing at you.
I think I mean, what I've seen, I feel a kid doing that in front of
their parents, I was like, what kind of parents are you?
Seriously?
You know, it's like,
they come in, they kind of make these faces. But then they grow up
to be the to be very violent people afterwards, what's the
point? You know, it's like, even you know, they probably come from
countries where that's a kind of an act of survival.
But we're in a different country. Now, man, you know, you don't need
to do that here. There's laws here that will help you hopefully, you
know, for the most part. So if you look at the Sahaba, despite all of
their riches, they never went away from the way of Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, because the inside was strong. And
from this, we understand that wealth intrinsically is nothing
wrong with it. It's just what it can do to a weak heart. And that's
what the problem is. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam never
told any of the Sahaba to leave their business, or go back to the
US to do his business or Marthy, alone used to do business. And one
day he used to do, he used to go out to earn a living, and his
partner would go and stay in the company of the Prophet salallahu
Alaihe salam to learn from him. And at the end of the day, he
would pass on whatever he had learned to Omer, or the Allah and
the next day, or Omar or the Allah would stay with the Prophet
sallallahu. Salman had got, and that's a great thing to do
business, you've got two partners. One of them goes and studies one
day or one week, and you look after the business, the next week,
you go and study and they look after the business. That's a great
thing to do, isn't it? I mean, I've seen I've seen at least two
families like this one in America, one one in England, where they've
got a few brothers and they've got a business. And one of them goes
out in public Jamaat, and they both like that 111 in an American
family, they do a huge amount of work. And they go out into blue,
one brother or two brothers and public, the other doing their
business at home. And subhanAllah. It works out. It's very good.
I've also seen another case where one of the brothers is an alum.
He's writing books, and the other is in South Africa is a very
famous translator. Right? I spoke to him I asked him, you know, how
he earns his living and so on. And mashallah, what they've done is
what his brothers are very wealthy businessmen, they just, they pay
him,
meaning he gets his salary as such from his brothers. And he just
does the dean, the hem of the dean for free. And is another family as
well like that. Because some brothers who are running the
family business, and the other two brothers and the father, they are
working and teaching and Ima the knowledge of all for free, because
the family business supports them all. And Allah gives them baraka.
So these kinds of things can happen. Just you need an open
heart to do these things with. I think the conclusion of all of
this right that strikes us all is that the main aim and goal in this
world is to remain on the straight path balanced, not becoming too
greedy, not becoming too miserly, not becoming too indulgent of the
world, right to stay on a balanced path from the straight path, which
is to stay in the on the path of servitude. And that is not
restricted in any particular worldly action, as long as you
abstain from the Haram, than anything else you can do as long
as you are on the straight path. And that's what's most important.
write the next chapter is now a shorter chapter chapter on the
bread of Rasulullah sallallahu describing the kind of bread he
ate of the Prophet sallallahu wasallam
we'll just quickly read the narrations and then we'll look at

This chapter is on it's the 25th chapter of the book. It's about
describing the type of bread Rasulullah sallallahu, some eight.
Warburton Warburtons today, you know, people are speaking about
orbitons Hovis, and you know, more, that's the normal stuff then
you get the more exclusive stuff speciality bakeries and things of
that nature.
So what are we speaking about here with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam? We talked talking about the absolute basic kind of bread,
right? Not even wheat, just barley. Alright, so in that time,
apparently, wheat was probably a bit more expensive than or better
considered, than then barley. So he never touched wheat bread was
just mostly barley. And even though barley it wasn't refined
barley, that's a bitter, says one of the first bitter the first
innovations in Islam was the use use of sieves of things to refine
the flour with to to really refine it, right? That's one of the first
innovations so as one of the Hadith will tell us and how did
you how did you people eat said oh, we used to get the flour, get
the flour that the crushed barley and we used to kind of blow over
it like that it says, and whatever flew off that flew off, and the
rest of it we would make that into the dough.
Today unfortunately, that kind of bread costs more than the refined
bleached bread.
Kind of weird, isn't it?
cost more to buy a whole meal and especially the nice multigrain.
Or, you know, the kind of wholesome than the, the cheap
white bread. Right? It's ridiculous. The white bleached
bread is much cheaper.
Even though it's more it's worse for your stomach than than the
other than the other type. And now they've given you the best of both
worlds was equal to half and half the 5050 or something. Yeah, I
didn't see that in America. I just saw that when I came back here. I
was like, well 5050 for the Americans were always ahead of the
game in this space. It looks like
we're doing quite well here.
The first hadith is Hadith number 152, which is related from
Abdurrahman, New Year's Eid,
who relates from us word.
And
he relates from
RT Scholler, the Allahu Allah,
the wife of Rasulullah, sallallahu alayhi salam.
She really she said to him, that the prophets Allah Larson's
family, when we say family here, it doesn't refer to the extended
family, like you know, relatives, cousins and everybody. It relates
to anybody that Rasul Allah Hudson was responsible for anybody that
he had to feed, wives, children, and anybody else that was within
the family.
She says, she relates that the family the immediate family of the
Prophet sallallahu, alayhi, wasallam, never once filled, their
stomachs are eight today, they're filled
with
the bread made out of even barley TWICE, TWICE, for two days
consecutively. So they have Ollie bread, not wheat. But for two days
consecutively, they wouldn't eat barley bread, it would be bread,
maybe one day, the other day would just be some dates or something.
So dates, what I mean, for us dates is like a luxury, right?
Less so now because we're getting so much of them. But in those
days, dates were what was around.
And bread was something you had to make, it was more of a luxury, it
was a proper staple food. Right? Not just a little snack kind of
thing. So in that sense, you can understand what he's saying. That
actually the Allahu Allah is saying that two consecutive days
now, we wouldn't eat for two consecutive days. And this goes
hand in hand with the other way we say that the fire didn't burn
sometimes for a month. Now the thing is, the question here is why
so particular about this food? I mean, if you look at how many
chapters we've been reading, about food, about less food, and today,
the whole discussion in the world is about food, not in the world.
But in the program in the in the prosperous world. It's about
eating too much. And look how much insistence on not eating, not the
enema have discussed discussed, how much can you eat,
like in one sitting?
Right?
So it's saying that one is when you satiate yourself, when you
fill your stomach,
if it's to the level that
makes you heavy,
it makes you lazy, you just have to kind of relax, you just can't
stand up and do any work, because you don't feel like it,
then that is considered the reprehensible level of eating. I
mean, everybody would agree with that. Right? Even the obese person
would agree with that.
They do it but they kind of because it becomes a habit.
In fact, according to some older Ma, It's haram to eat to the level
that you will,
you will
to the level that will corrupt your
your insights. So anything that is known to if you eat to that level,
it's going to harm your inside, it's haram to eat because it's
self harm, isn't it?
Which means if you did it once, it's not that bad. But if you did
it on a day to day basis, then obviously the doctors will tell
you the same thing.
However, anything less than that level that still makes you heavy
and lazy, then there's some difference of opinion in that as
to how mcru is how undesirable isn't.
Now the question then is if you book
right now normally you're burping if what happens if you've eaten
normally too much right? Have not the right kinds of foods.
They then should you say Alhamdulillah or StuffIt Allah
there's the love among the aroma as to what you should say if you
burp
when you Yo and you say hola hola ko
With a La Villa, right because they said that that shaytaan
causing you to become kind of lazy. So you say Hola Hola, La
Quwata illa biLlah but when you burp, what should you say a
stockfeed Allah or Al Hamdulillah Al Hamdulillah because maybe Allah
subhanaw taala has given you food to eat or stokfella Because you've
eaten too much. So, the best the apparently the best opinion
proposed by some is that you do both. You think Allah subhanahu wa
taala because Allah has given you a NEMA and a bounty, but then you
seek forgiveness from Allah subhanaw taala because you've got
bad that you've eaten so much, and now you have to do this and is bad
for others. You do it in the Salah to do it in the prayer.
And generally you do it elsewhere as well. And what is the desired
amount of eating enough to feel satiated to a certain degree but
it doesn't. It doesn't weigh you down. It doesn't feel heavy in the
stomach. It doesn't expand your stomach lining as such. That's why
if you look at the way Allah subhanho wa Taala said it in the
Quran Kulu minute per year Bertie. What Malou soya
eat from the good eat from the excellent foods colluvial teubert
by Yep, means excellent. So eat from the excellent foods and what
multocida do good deeds. So that linked together doing good deeds
is linked to eating so your eating should be for the sake of
strengthening yourself so that you could do good in the world.
Not to just enjoy and sit back Subhanallah that is just very
eloquent of the Quran.
That's why the Prophet sallallahu sallam said and believe me this
should make
you should make an advertisement with this. mela of no Adam, we are
in Shalom in botany should give this one to the NHS.
Ignore them the human being has not will not fill any vessel
worse than his stomach. It's the worst vessel to fill.
And the whole loss of the is how much you should eat. It says
Hospital has a whole movement. Haskell movement, right Lokomat
your crimina solver enough what suffices a believer some morsels
that keeps his back straight.
For in cannula would if he's going to eat more if you insist on
eating more no problem than up to 1/3 of the stomach. Eat that much
1/3 from water and 1/3 for the air.
Then you won't have to book so much because there's place inside
for it to go around. So I shudder the Allahu anha says that he never
ate for two days continuously consecutively two consecutive days
anytime. He did not eat bread, just barley bread had Kobe the
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam until he passed away. So
this pretty much was his kind of general state of affairs he used
to eat then he didn't eat then he didn't then he did until the day
that he passed away that was generally the case which
in narration of Buhari actually mentioned that this was the case
after Medina in Madina Munawwara that that's how he remained. But
generally that was the case throughout anyway.
Then the question that appears is that we learn from other
narrations that profit and loss of use to actually a lot to his
wives, their yearly
would you call it the the yearly yearly rations? Right? Because
these things are like wheat and things like that they come season
to season. So when it was the season, you say, Okay, this much
for you this much for you this much for you. So if they've got
the yearly rations, they've got a huge amount of resource there,
haven't they? So does this mean that this kind of less amount of
eating was only done at the end of the year, when the those rations
ran out? Or what? So now, that's a good question. How do you
reconcile this with what I showed of the Allahu Anhu saying that the
Prophet sallallahu Sallam and everybody is not just talking
about her?
So Protestantism spent in the evening at different waves homes,
right, and he ate in different waves homes. So this was the case
with all of them. And they were all on the same track when it came
to this. So yes, he used to give them their rations. But then
as soon as a poor person came the first port of call would be have
the wives have any of you got anything food?
Yeah, of course I have, you know, so it's given out within a month
or a few days or whatever, it is all gone. So they yearly rations
are gone as well.
That's how it was the case.
And the other thing is that when we do say he gave them the yearly
rations, did he give them yearly rations that were enough for them
to everyday have like a huge amount a huge meal? No, it was the
calculation of the rations was based
The estimation was based on absolute basic level for each day
anyway, so when they gave out to the poor then there was going to
be not much left anyway.
It's related from
Imam Bukhari and Muslim relate
from a shot of the Allahu Anhu that the profit and loss on passed
away.
And you know, she she was 18 when the poster Lawson passed away and
she said that I had nothing that in my storage in my house that any
human being with a liver any any any animal with a liver could eat
substantially, right, except chatrooms are eating fewer oftenly
I had a little cabinet and had a small measure of barley. It's in
the the province of Allah some had given me in maybe some container
that was kept in this small cabinets
for occulta Minho, so whenever I would need food, I was going
there, pull out some a handful or something, and I would eat it. And
it just felt like it was never finishing.
I went on like that for days, I mean, small, small package. And it
just kept going on for days.
And she says, One day, I decided that how much is in there, let me
check. So I took it out, weighed it, I weighed the ISO check the
volume of it, right. And that's it. That's exactly how much was in
there, then. Then it finished.
I just learned of this narration the other narration is of Abu
Huraira, the hola Juan probably hasn't given him a small bag of
dates, and he would just eat from there. And one day he decided, you
know how much daytime This is never ending when he checked.
That's it. That's how many dates there were. And I'm sure we've
experienced this, sometimes you've got cash in your wallet, and
you're just spending spending spending and you think, wow, I've
got a lot, then you look, oh, 17 pound 50 left, that's all you're
gonna have left now. And if you didn't count, you might have more.
Right? That's what we call blessing. But blessing is never by
magic. It's always behind the veil. Allah subhanaw taala works
behind the veil. Because this world is a predictable world of
means is not a world of magic. Right? Hey, presto. And you know,
you've got something, it doesn't work like that. It could but it
doesn't work like that. It all works behind the veil.
When somebody is able to eat less, it means that they've got more
contentment in their heart, they've got less greed in
themselves, unless the eating less for the sake of that. But
normally, a person who is miserly, right is normally going to be
miserly against others not really for himself. But there are some
people as well who are miserly for themselves, they're very less.
Normally when you're greedy, you'll eat more just for yourself.
And you won't have any contentment. And also that kind of
a person will have more desire
of other things as well, because the knifes is very strong, the
soul is very strong. So if you can't curb your knifes in eating,
then it's very difficult to curb your knifes in other things. And
many people have made this connection because at the end of
the day all goes back to curbing the self, the ego and the desire.
And of viously after that there's a problem when it comes to
general health.
sharpness of mind.
And
you know, I remember reading a hadith about the seawork.
Right, clean the teeth.
And there's about 70 Different virtues and benefits mentioned for
the Seawalk. And among one of them, it says that it will
increase your eyesight and increase your memory.
And I was thinking what's the connection between cleaning your
teeth, the to stick and your mind
Subhanallah just, what, two months ago, but one month ago, two months
ago, there's a massive study that came out of I think Columbia
University saying that they've just discovered that the bacteria
that people who don't clean their teeth and the bacteria that's
allowed to then develop in the gums and so on, that has a
connection with Alzheimer's disease and dementia in old age.
And you've got this whole study that the bacteria that's left
there, it goes into the stream and it's connected to the head and it
creates all of these problems.
I Jeep I mean, this is not just some regular you know, this is
Columbia University, one of the top universities in the US, right,
coming up with this kind of study.
And what was the lesson just set it casually. It's going to
increase your eyesight is going to increase this is going to increase
that
Subhanallah
you can check it
It was there on the BBC it's a you know, there's a write up on it on
the BBC, it's there, right. So then if you eat too much, it's
just an idea. It's gonna give you more sleep and all the rest of it,
and hardness of the heart laziness, and essentially wasting
much of your time when you could be doing something more useful.
Because then you're gonna, you're gonna get tired of this food and
you're gonna want to go somewhere else and you're gonna go further
out, you go all the way to Coventry and Birmingham to eat.
Right now, there are people who fly around the world to the you
know, the best chefs and cuisines and things of that nature. You
know, subhanAllah
if you look at the spirit of the self, of the of our pious
predecessors, I shall have the Allahu Anhu says the first bidder,
I shall the Allah Allah says, the first bidder, after the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, his time that people innovated was to
fill their stomachs
Subhanallah to fill their stomachs.
And she said, essentially, that when people have started filling
their stomachs, then the knifes is now going towards the dunya.
And
I don't know string statement, it said that the stomach, if it's one
part of your body, that if you fill it and satiate it, then every
other part of your body will become hungry.
What does that mean? Right? Think of that. And it says, If you keep
your stomach, if you keep your stomach hungry, the rest of your
body will be calm and satiated.
So I think what it is you eat too much, it just gives rise to you
know that and nowadays, I mean, we've got added chemicals. We've
got lots of stuff like that, which we don't even know what it does to
you.
Right. You know, there's a guy suing and he actually won the case
in America just just last this week. He won the case against a
popcorn company. Right? Because in America, you can buy these bags of
the popcorn, seeds in a bag already. All you do is this flat
bag, literally a flat bag, you put it in the oven. I don't know if
you can buy it here. Yeah, probably put in the microwave. And
you get this big bag of popcorn or buttered and everything. So you
know that artificial buttery taste was made of some particular
chemicals and so on. And that gave him what they call butter
intestines or something like that, or butter, something there's a
certain disease in the inside that it's created from. And he won the
case
that there wasn't sufficient warning Monday.
So hello. quite crazy to dunya isn't it? But he won the case. So
now you don't even know what you're eating. So they're talking
about eating. The harms that we're speaking about here is to fill the
summit each time with good pure halal food. So imagine if it's
haram and imagine if it's got it's not the Ube right, it's not good
healthy food, then what then you've got many other problems and
then the NHS is putting a big bills and you know, so on and so
forth. Maybe they should just prohibit the supermarket I mean,
it's radical but you can only sell staples, no nothing else. Staples
Yanni, you know, staple foods.
Never go far, never go shopping when you're fasting by the way.
You buy more
because you're hungry and the eyes are greedier than
the known mystery one of the pious aesthetics of the past he says
Marsha, to cut to ELAA say to her mum too.
We probably won't even see this distinction. But he says that
there's never been a time that I have satiated myself in which was
on some occasions except that when I did do that when I did feel to
my stomach and fill myself up, I actually sinned or thought of
committing one
right because you let yourself loose. That's what it is. Right?
You just given your knifes the desire, a bit more rain and then
it will it will take charge shaytan will use it. That's why it
says the conclusion is that being fooled with the stomach all the
time. It creates a desire in the soul inside the self towards sin.
In a hadith it's related from Abu joy for the Allah one he says once
a call to read the Quran bIllahi min. This nice mixture three of us
what do you call it off the bread and
wheat bread with meat side is really nice meal and I came to us
with allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and I was burping
right in front of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam Professor Lawson
said look forth
this alley Caddyshack about Hojicha fine axon nurses ship and
for dunya Autohome ju ano multi Yama. He says you know keep
control keep your books under control. l Bucha. hypha it
Who says that the person who's the most satiated in this world with
food all the time, he is going to be the one with the lengthiest
hunger in the heat on the Day of Judgment. After that, when Abuja
Hayford of the alanda Sahabi heard this, from that day, he never
filled his stomach. Right? Which means that until until he died, he
never filled his stomach. If he ate lunch, he would not suffer, he
would not have supper. And if he didn't, if he didn't, you know, if
he was going to have supper, then he wouldn't have lunch, you would
only one day when one time a day.
May Allah give us a Tofik and essentially what the commentator
is then saying that all of this is related to eating the halal. So
imagine if we also have haram which I already mentioned, may
Allah subhanaw taala give us the tofu to abstain, cut down
ourselves, stay connected to Allah subhanaw taala thank Allah and try
to eat healthy. And don't go after all of these offers all the time
that sell all of this junk food for very, very less. I know that
we're all in involved in it. I'm speaking to myself as I speak to
everybody else here as well. Unfortunately, we all you know, as
part of this, we all go to the shops and places like that. May
Allah give us the trophy to have some control over ourselves and
protect us from all the evil sicknesses, both worldly physical,
physiological and other biological diseases and also the spiritual
diseases which are even more important that Allah protect us
from them. We're okay with that one and Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil
