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

to the above that to try to refrain from equalizing yourself

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

with somebody or to try to gain honor by being associated with

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

somebody rather be respectful to them give increase into them so

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

I've seen this martial law some many or other MMA speaking like

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

this, when you ask them about somebody who is

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

not as of a high status as them but they will refer to them yes

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

yes Mashallah. That's a great shake. And you know, that's a

00:00:45 --> 00:00:51

mashallah he's our respected leader and you know, they will

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

really honor the other person even putting themselves down, just out

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

of respect for the other person.

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

Al Hamdulillah habenero them you know, salatu salam ala so you

00:01:08 --> 00:01:13

seldom at the Sleeman gefion Elomi. Deen Amma Bert

00:01:14 --> 00:01:20

we had begun the section in this work of Imam Shalini about the

00:01:20 --> 00:01:27

adab that the righteous people and the scholars are supposed to have

00:01:27 --> 00:01:31

just righteous people in general are supposed to have between one

00:01:31 --> 00:01:32

another

00:01:33 --> 00:01:38

with other people. So in this regard, where we've covered about

00:01:38 --> 00:01:42

six or seven different adults now we continue says warming Dobby.

00:01:44 --> 00:01:46

either more or less at him little word.

00:01:48 --> 00:01:52

Fella Yeah, you do not have to be worried enough in nerdier clearly

00:01:52 --> 00:01:56

him an asset called the lawyer cone ill anbiya wa Salatu was

00:01:56 --> 00:02:01

Salam ala smithy him? What Amala you room for Obama? Why the

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

worthless Pharisee roofie he has written Mira NIFA

00:02:07 --> 00:02:11

This is a very interesting one. He says that generally the people of

00:02:11 --> 00:02:17

Allah subhanaw taala. They don't make too many promises. They don't

00:02:17 --> 00:02:18

keep promising people.

00:02:21 --> 00:02:27

Only sell them only if absolutely necessary. Only on some rare

00:02:27 --> 00:02:30

occasions, do they actually make a promise?

00:02:32 --> 00:02:35

Why? Because of their knowledge that

00:02:37 --> 00:02:41

the only person who actually has

00:02:42 --> 00:02:47

whose absolute absolutely truthful or who can absolutely be truthful

00:02:47 --> 00:02:51

in their promises, or the prophets, because they're the only

00:02:51 --> 00:02:54

ones who are divinely protected by Allah subhanaw taala from making

00:02:54 --> 00:02:58

such blunders and mistakes, they don't want to promise somebody and

00:02:58 --> 00:03:01

then they are not able to deliver their promise, they have to break

00:03:01 --> 00:03:04

their promise for whatever reason, or they forget. So they just don't

00:03:04 --> 00:03:08

make a promise. They the way they so then what would they do? Can

00:03:08 --> 00:03:11

you not rely on such people? Will they not make a promise? Well,

00:03:11 --> 00:03:15

generally, rather than making promises, they try to fulfill the

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

need of the other person in a different way, without making them

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

wait or something like that. So unless they absolutely have to,

00:03:24 --> 00:03:25

they won't make any promises.

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

They fear, they fear is the fact that if they make a promise, they

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

may break that promise. And if they break that promise, then they

00:03:36 --> 00:03:41

may have a characteristic of the FARC and hypocrisy in them. The

00:03:41 --> 00:03:43

reason is that the Prophet sallallahu sallam said that there

00:03:43 --> 00:03:47

are three characteristics of hypocrisy, the famous narration, a

00:03:47 --> 00:03:51

person makes a promise and he breaks it speaks and tells the

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

untruth. So they just don't even want to risk that as far as

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

possible. So it will try to cover it up some other house, they'll

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

try to fulfill the need some in some other way. Now, the other

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

thing is,

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

there's a lot of people who make promises out of their good

00:04:10 --> 00:04:15

character, meaning out of their goodwill for people, but they're

00:04:15 --> 00:04:17

not able to fulfill all of those promises. They're not able to just

00:04:17 --> 00:04:21

keep them up. It's just very difficult for them to do so. And

00:04:21 --> 00:04:25

they go on doing this. So they have a good intention. But what

00:04:25 --> 00:04:29

people must realize is that good intention is not sufficient. If

00:04:29 --> 00:04:33

you've realized that you generally break promises

00:04:34 --> 00:04:39

made you make them in goodwill, good faith, with optimism, but

00:04:39 --> 00:04:42

then you end up breaking them because you just have a demanding

00:04:42 --> 00:04:49

job, for example, or you have demands at home or whatever the

00:04:49 --> 00:04:51

case is, then just don't make those promises.

00:04:53 --> 00:04:55

I've made in many cases where people are waiting for somebody,

00:04:56 --> 00:05:00

somebody who they respect, decent, whatever, and then they

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

Just don't show up. And people kind of deep down down know that

00:05:04 --> 00:05:08

this person has just over promised is better for them not to have

00:05:08 --> 00:05:10

promised so at least you know where you stand and you just find

00:05:10 --> 00:05:14

somebody else to do it. So that's why the people of Allah they're

00:05:14 --> 00:05:19

very careful about making promises to start with. Number The second

00:05:19 --> 00:05:22

point for today's I mean either be him either so either I had him on

00:05:22 --> 00:05:28

shaky and you're going to hajima who? Oh man and Motala Dena LA.

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

Well, I akule come to Sahiba who, for in the mcommerce Sabathia Aziz

00:05:33 --> 00:05:35

is saw he will insert any woman yesterday I mean, body camera

00:05:35 --> 00:05:39

topic, the mafia with a risotto is a very kind of specific one. But I

00:05:39 --> 00:05:44

think it's interesting, because there's people who, who can

00:05:44 --> 00:05:47

inshallah benefit from this because they do this in other

00:05:47 --> 00:05:50

ways. What he's saying here is that another adverb of the people

00:05:50 --> 00:05:52

of Allah is that, if anybody asks,

00:05:54 --> 00:05:58

If any one of them is asked about their shave, about their,

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

their teacher, their shave, you know, the guide, they will

00:06:04 --> 00:06:05

generally

00:06:07 --> 00:06:12

say that, yes, I was his I will I used to serve Him, I was hired

00:06:12 --> 00:06:17

him, I would serve Him as a servant to him. Or, Yes, I would

00:06:17 --> 00:06:21

frequent his gatherings, meaning that's good enough for me, that

00:06:21 --> 00:06:25

I've just been able to sit in his gatherings that I was a servant of

00:06:25 --> 00:06:28

is that I would serve Him and I did some Edma. That's more than

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

enough said, they would say they would respond like this, as though

00:06:32 --> 00:06:33

this is their honor.

00:06:35 --> 00:06:39

They wouldn't say for example, yes, I was an associate of his.

00:06:40 --> 00:06:43

Now this all goes back to the beginning of the book, when we

00:06:43 --> 00:06:44

discuss that when

00:06:46 --> 00:06:50

these books discuss saw him, it means a companion, a companion

00:06:50 --> 00:06:54

means and associate somebody who's very close to somebody, whether as

00:06:54 --> 00:06:58

a student or not. So they would never say that I was a companion,

00:06:58 --> 00:07:04

because the real status of companionship is a very, very high

00:07:04 --> 00:07:09

status. And it's for the person who's able to drink from the same

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

ocean as the sheikh, who's progressed to that level.

00:07:13 --> 00:07:14

Now,

00:07:16 --> 00:07:20

how do we relate to this on a more common level, the way we relate to

00:07:20 --> 00:07:25

this is that there's some people who, for example, maybe with

00:07:26 --> 00:07:29

a certain organization, they've helped out.

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

And because of helping out in the organization, the main person

00:07:34 --> 00:07:36

who's a prominent scholar, or leader or something like this, and

00:07:36 --> 00:07:40

an Imam, or whatever, they've gotten to meet him a few times.

00:07:40 --> 00:07:43

Right, and they have kind of a maybe a bit of a personal

00:07:43 --> 00:07:47

relationship. So the way they'll go around telling everybody else

00:07:47 --> 00:07:51

is that yeah, you know, I'm, I'm, like this to him, I'm close to

00:07:51 --> 00:07:55

him, I've, I've got access to him, I've got his number. It's that

00:07:55 --> 00:07:56

kind of thing.

00:07:57 --> 00:08:02

So it's this to kind of encourage yourself, it's to put yourself up

00:08:03 --> 00:08:07

by using the other person's name. I've dealt with so many people

00:08:07 --> 00:08:11

when they say oh, you know, we for example, we did a big huge amount

00:08:11 --> 00:08:15

and Maha them of Maulana Tariq Jamil you know, he's got good

00:08:15 --> 00:08:17

connections with monatomic Jamila

00:08:18 --> 00:08:20

right or such as shake have such a shake

00:08:21 --> 00:08:24

and that some what that does sometimes I mean, I'm not

00:08:24 --> 00:08:27

questioning anybody's intention but that does is that it creates

00:08:27 --> 00:08:30

all in the other person Wow, you've got connection with these

00:08:30 --> 00:08:30

people.

00:08:31 --> 00:08:36

That's why I love Sharon is very, very careful, very careful about

00:08:36 --> 00:08:40

this. He's so respectful. When he quotes from others, they are at

00:08:40 --> 00:08:44

the same level as him as him or maybe even lower than him. They

00:08:44 --> 00:08:50

were his literally his classmates or his companions with the under

00:08:50 --> 00:08:56

their shake, but he always refers to them as our shake off my

00:08:56 --> 00:09:02

master, my leader, our respected individual, he will always respect

00:09:02 --> 00:09:06

people like that, for example, he quotes quite a bit from after

00:09:06 --> 00:09:11

Lodine now he was a brother of he was a brother of his in the same

00:09:11 --> 00:09:16

path under shake. But whenever he mentioned is a CD of dollar shake,

00:09:16 --> 00:09:17

say up my leader

00:09:20 --> 00:09:24

now in Syria and in other parts of the Arab world, Syria, Morocco,

00:09:24 --> 00:09:28

etc, they use a lot of CD but they've turned that into CD.

00:09:29 --> 00:09:32

Yeah, they say CD CD and in English sounds a bit weird.

00:09:34 --> 00:09:36

I think if you want to use that term, you should say so you the

00:09:37 --> 00:09:40

instead of CD. It's okay. I guess people do understand in some

00:09:40 --> 00:09:42

cases, but others they won't understand it. It's an accent

00:09:42 --> 00:09:46

issue. It's just the short and the short and everything. But in

00:09:46 --> 00:09:50

English, the word CD doesn't sound right. Right CD means my master it

00:09:50 --> 00:09:51

sounds more respectful.

00:09:52 --> 00:09:56

Okay, the next point he makes

00:09:57 --> 00:09:58

is that

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

what

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

mean Adobe him either Dominus have been theory but he he Behati him

00:10:04 --> 00:10:08

nyako Luna who ominous Homina Homina occur videos have been Illa

00:10:08 --> 00:10:12

in kind of Duna home bedarra jets for incana Musa no homophone for

00:10:12 --> 00:10:16

your guru knocking them in at bar He ohada me similar kind of point

00:10:16 --> 00:10:21

to the above that to try to refrain from equalizing yourself

00:10:21 --> 00:10:26

with somebody or to try to gain honor by being associated with

00:10:26 --> 00:10:31

somebody rather be respectful to them give increase into them so

00:10:31 --> 00:10:35

I've seen this martial law some many other MMA speaking like this,

00:10:35 --> 00:10:37

when you ask them about somebody who is

00:10:39 --> 00:10:42

not as of a high status as them but they will refer to him yes yes

00:10:42 --> 00:10:46

Mashallah. That's a great shake. And you know, that's a mashallah

00:10:46 --> 00:10:52

he's our respected leader and you know, they will really honor the

00:10:52 --> 00:10:55

other person even putting themselves down. It's just out of

00:10:55 --> 00:10:56

respect for the other person.

00:10:59 --> 00:11:02

The next one will mean either be him lie or cool on the Hubble

00:11:02 --> 00:11:05

occur, we recite the Quran for Inomata Hubble have the cotton

00:11:05 --> 00:11:09

Windermere Hunka Kenzi saw he Bilgi Donna, this one has to be

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

understood.

00:11:10 --> 00:11:14

He's saying this one really what he's trying to do is that

00:11:15 --> 00:11:22

do not say it's another of the adab is that this statement that

00:11:22 --> 00:11:26

all great people and the truthful ones have gone.

00:11:28 --> 00:11:32

There is no longer any truthful people left. There's no longer any

00:11:32 --> 00:11:36

righteous people around. There's no longer any elders around. The

00:11:36 --> 00:11:41

reason is he says, because they they haven't gone. He's not

00:11:41 --> 00:11:44

talking about specific individuals that they are still alive, even

00:11:44 --> 00:11:46

though they did this is not what he's saying. What he's saying is

00:11:46 --> 00:11:51

that, no, that's not the case, meaning you still find people,

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

right, you can still find people, but you need to have insight to be

00:11:56 --> 00:11:59

able to discover such people. That's what he's trying to say.

00:12:00 --> 00:12:04

You need insight to discover such people. That's why he says that

00:12:04 --> 00:12:08

they are like such people are not gone. There actually like the

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

hidden treasure of the person who renovated the wall.

00:12:13 --> 00:12:17

Now who is the famous person that renovated the wall that rebuilt

00:12:17 --> 00:12:22

the wall? It was how there are days around Okay, the valleys who

00:12:24 --> 00:12:29

have the of that wall. So, meaning he had found some hidden treasure,

00:12:30 --> 00:12:34

right? So it was only either either A salaam who knew that

00:12:34 --> 00:12:35

treasure was there.

00:12:36 --> 00:12:37

Nobody else knew.

00:12:39 --> 00:12:42

And Allah subhanaw taala did not want that wall, which was really,

00:12:42 --> 00:12:47

really in a bad state to topple over and unearth that treasure

00:12:47 --> 00:12:51

that belonged to the orphans, whose father had put it there. But

00:12:51 --> 00:12:55

how good it is. And I was told about this. So just because you

00:12:55 --> 00:12:59

can't find something, don't say it's not around, that it doesn't

00:12:59 --> 00:13:04

exist. That's what he's saying. So these people do exist, but a lot

00:13:04 --> 00:13:08

of people don't see them and don't value them. Because their state is

00:13:08 --> 00:13:13

generally of not showing off or boasting ostentation.

00:13:14 --> 00:13:17

That's why there's a hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu. Someone

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

says

00:13:18 --> 00:13:23

that anybody who says that people are destroyed, then he is the

00:13:23 --> 00:13:27

first of those to be considered destroyed. He says, oh, people are

00:13:27 --> 00:13:31

going to *, then that means he's gone to *. Because he is

00:13:31 --> 00:13:32

among the people.

00:13:36 --> 00:13:40

He said they say that the deprived one is that is the one who has

00:13:40 --> 00:13:45

been deprived of the blessings of the great people of his time of

00:13:45 --> 00:13:48

the blessed people of his time. You can never find the blessing

00:13:48 --> 00:13:54

person, then that is a deprivation in its own right.

00:13:55 --> 00:14:01

That's why he says that. What got your Tiller mangia fer here is a

00:14:01 --> 00:14:06

man marhaba Juan osterville? Oh, well, sometimes Allah subhanho wa

00:14:06 --> 00:14:09

Taala will give something to a person that comes later that he

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

may have withheld from people who came before.

00:14:13 --> 00:14:17

Now if that sounds really like a crazy idea, well look at this.

00:14:17 --> 00:14:20

Allah subhanaw taala gave to His Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam

00:14:20 --> 00:14:24

our Prophet, what he did not give to any of the prophets before him.

00:14:25 --> 00:14:31

A massive difference between bone and berries. Right Zamin asked

00:14:31 --> 00:14:33

Mancha. ferok, as they say, between the Prophet salallahu

00:14:33 --> 00:14:37

Salam and all the other prophets. So if that's the case, there it's

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

an absolute possibility that Allah give a video of Allah of this

00:14:41 --> 00:14:44

time, something greater than 20 of the previous times. It's an

00:14:44 --> 00:14:46

absolute possibility it is not guaranteed.

00:14:49 --> 00:14:53

And then after that, he says and then to advance them in praise as

00:14:53 --> 00:14:58

well. Well, I mean, Konami saw he will hate me but dilemma Taku *

00:14:58 --> 00:14:59

earlier in a salehoo

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

Cool Angel basura

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

that's why Ignatov Allah, the author of the HECM, aphorisms, he,

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

in one place says that instead of saying, Where are the only? Where

00:15:12 --> 00:15:14

are the friends of Allah? Where are the truthful ones going? I

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

can't find any where are the pious people gone? There's nobody, you

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

know. instead ask where is the insight?

00:15:22 --> 00:15:27

You know, give me insight where is the insight gone? Because Allah

00:15:27 --> 00:15:30

will always keep that the whole fact that this dunya can still

00:15:30 --> 00:15:33

continue is because there are still people connected to Allah

00:15:33 --> 00:15:37

otherwise this world would end because the Hadith which mentioned

00:15:37 --> 00:15:40

that this world will not end till there's somebody saying, Allah,

00:15:40 --> 00:15:44

Allah. So there has to be people connected to Allah. But if we have

00:15:44 --> 00:15:48

such a skepticism about people, and always trying to find the

00:15:48 --> 00:15:52

worst in people, then we're not looking for prophets. Here we're

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

looking for Olia of the Ummah and they could have some issues, but

00:15:56 --> 00:15:57

they still have a connection with Allah and he's to find the

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

goodness in people. And that's what people are missing today.

00:16:00 --> 00:16:03

Some people, they will never come across a pious person in their

00:16:03 --> 00:16:07

life according to their criteria, because they are just overly

00:16:07 --> 00:16:10

critical. They're not willing to give the benefit of the doubt to

00:16:10 --> 00:16:13

anybody. That's what the problem is. That's why there's people who

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

will never benefit from anybody, because they don't want to open up

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

their heart. So that says * Basilar. That's what he's saying.

00:16:18 --> 00:16:22

It's really the case. And then he says something very interesting.

00:16:22 --> 00:16:26

He says, * yes, sir. Julio mortality Biller, Bill Avila, a

00:16:26 --> 00:16:32

Yara Binta Sultan, heliosphere, Julio mortality, Bill authority

00:16:32 --> 00:16:33

and Yarra been the slope on

00:16:34 --> 00:16:38

is it even possible for somebody who is polluted with filth?

00:16:39 --> 00:16:42

They've got all dirt over their body and filth over their body?

00:16:42 --> 00:16:48

Can he even get access to look at the king's daughter, the saltpans

00:16:48 --> 00:16:49

daughter, nevermind, make the proposal.

00:16:50 --> 00:16:52

Right, he's not going to get the access.

00:16:54 --> 00:16:57

So likewise, here, you're not going to be able to see the

00:16:57 --> 00:17:00

goodness in people until you want good from people.

00:17:01 --> 00:17:04

This is a massive problem of today. People are just so

00:17:04 --> 00:17:08

skeptical of others it is in this day of criticism, in this day of

00:17:08 --> 00:17:13

just comments, Facebook posts and criticisms, revealing things, you

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

know, exclusives, everybody's following the sun and the news of

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

the world's use of the world is gone now. But everybody's

00:17:21 --> 00:17:25

following that kind of ideology about wanting to uncover something

00:17:26 --> 00:17:27

and to reveal something.

00:17:29 --> 00:17:34

Whereas Allah subhanaw taala is a star it's about sitter can convey

00:17:34 --> 00:17:39

covering veiling someone. That's why it says that whoever veils the

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

nakedness of somebody else, Allah will veil their nakedness.

00:17:44 --> 00:17:46

Forget about uncovering other people people uncover themselves

00:17:46 --> 00:17:50

in a voxel fashion today. They've gone beyond invading others to

00:17:50 --> 00:17:53

invading themselves just to attract negative attention

00:17:55 --> 00:17:57

so that they can revel in their notoriety.

00:17:59 --> 00:18:03

And then he says, We're mythical ha the love the Lyoko Illa mon

00:18:03 --> 00:18:05

lemmya Cananda. Were at a coffee earlier yesterday, he were with

00:18:05 --> 00:18:09

me. While I have coffee vatic it says these words these kinds of

00:18:09 --> 00:18:13

skeptical critical remarks can only come from somebody who has

00:18:13 --> 00:18:19

absolutely no belief in, in righteous people. And in Olea of

00:18:19 --> 00:18:23

his time, who just thinks that they are not righteous at all. And

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

obviously there's no nothing hidden in the absurdity of that

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

kind of belief or statements.

00:18:31 --> 00:18:35

But who I am by inner turn, Fi Saluda Latina who Tulane is a

00:18:35 --> 00:18:40

clear cut verses in the hearts of those who have been, these are

00:18:40 --> 00:18:42

clear cut signs in the hearts of those who have been granted

00:18:42 --> 00:18:43

knowledge.

00:18:44 --> 00:18:47

Okay, the next one, this is a really interesting one. I think

00:18:48 --> 00:18:51

this really stops people from getting depressed if they're

00:18:51 --> 00:18:52

depressed about this.

00:18:54 --> 00:18:57

You know, as soon as anybody has any value to themselves, as soon

00:18:57 --> 00:19:00

as anybody accomplishes something, if you have some merits to your

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

name, then what's going to happen is that there will be people who

00:19:04 --> 00:19:08

will start to be jealous of you. And what he's saying in this next

00:19:08 --> 00:19:13

point is that just understand that to be an absolute fact of life.

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

Right? And he gives a reason.

00:19:18 --> 00:19:20

He says when when other be Himalaya to Laguna, Allah Quran

00:19:20 --> 00:19:25

Allah has it among the etiquette is also that they will not seek

00:19:27 --> 00:19:33

to they will not be looking for the fact that they do not have any

00:19:33 --> 00:19:36

envious that there's nobody who's jealous of them, meaning they're

00:19:36 --> 00:19:39

not even looking for that fact that hopefully there's nobody

00:19:39 --> 00:19:39

who's jealous of me.

00:19:41 --> 00:19:43

They take it for granted that they will be somebody who's jealous of

00:19:43 --> 00:19:48

them. Because he says for in they'll Hey camel will Judy Tada

00:19:48 --> 00:19:50

mocha Bella near me, Bill hassad

00:19:51 --> 00:19:56

the reality of life and the wisdoms of what things that exist

00:19:57 --> 00:19:59

the wisdom of existence, the

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

months that bounties will always

00:20:05 --> 00:20:06

come against

00:20:07 --> 00:20:12

jealousy. You have bounty, there's going to be jealousy from an Allah

00:20:12 --> 00:20:15

but Allah Cordero has it and anybody who wants it that there is

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

no belt jealous person or anybody jealous of him, then he is

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

essentially saying that unlearn acquerello Nerima that I don't

00:20:24 --> 00:20:25

want any blessings.

00:20:26 --> 00:20:30

So anybody who doesn't want jealousy from anyone,

00:20:31 --> 00:20:34

then he doesn't want any blessings. Now, this doesn't mean

00:20:34 --> 00:20:38

that we're looking for hazard. But remember, hazard is of two stages,

00:20:39 --> 00:20:41

has said in either hazard. And

00:20:42 --> 00:20:48

I seek refuge woman, and I see also seek refuge from the envious

00:20:48 --> 00:20:52

when they exercise their envy. So when somebody is envious of

00:20:52 --> 00:20:55

someone, it's just in their heart. It's not harmful to the other

00:20:55 --> 00:20:59

people it's only harmful them to themselves. When they exercise

00:20:59 --> 00:21:04

that envy, by as some people did when they did magic on Rasulullah,

00:21:04 --> 00:21:07

sallAllahu, alayhi wasallam or going and scratching their car or

00:21:07 --> 00:21:10

revealing something bad about them, defaming them somehow

00:21:10 --> 00:21:14

accusing them in some way or the other than that's we have to seek

00:21:14 --> 00:21:16

refuge from that clearly. But

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

to think that I will never have a jealous person around me, that's

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

difficult.

00:21:23 --> 00:21:28

If you're if you if you are such a nice person, you don't compete

00:21:28 --> 00:21:32

with anybody. They'll still be people jealous of you because

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

you're so calm and collected.

00:21:35 --> 00:21:36

Because you're so cool.

00:21:38 --> 00:21:40

There'll be people jealous of you because of your satisfaction with

00:21:40 --> 00:21:45

life because of your contentment. So there's always going to be

00:21:45 --> 00:21:49

somebody jealous of something or the other. So we pray our doors we

00:21:49 --> 00:21:53

make our you know we seek out we make our doors of protection and

00:21:53 --> 00:21:55

we carry on in this life.

00:21:57 --> 00:22:01

When we nada be him either Karuna hula hula Luna Alejandra hold our

00:22:01 --> 00:22:04

Quwata illa biLlah the mafia daddy come in right you had her JT Allah

00:22:04 --> 00:22:08

Allah heeta Allah, but your Quran Robina alumna and fusina were in

00:22:08 --> 00:22:14

limbo fildena Tarhana then Akula nominal ha serine one man fraud

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

rugby LOM to NFC fulfill Lee in the candle awful Rahim. Another of

00:22:19 --> 00:22:25

the etiquette is that if they ever recall any of the sins, then they

00:22:25 --> 00:22:27

don't say upon that, like they're speaking to somebody recall

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

something they don't say La hawla wala Quwata illa biLlah.

00:22:31 --> 00:22:33

Now what's wrong with that? You may think

00:22:34 --> 00:22:37

the reason is that when you say hola hola water quality level you

00:22:37 --> 00:22:41

should generally use that for future. To stay away from

00:22:41 --> 00:22:45

something to show on all power comes from Allah. I mustn't feel

00:22:45 --> 00:22:49

so secure myself. But I must ask Allah. But if you've already done

00:22:49 --> 00:22:53

a sin, then to say Allahu Allah quality levels, although it is not

00:22:53 --> 00:22:56

haram to say that, but he's saying that it's like you're complaining

00:22:56 --> 00:23:00

to Allah or you're blaming Allah. It resembles a blame of Allah or

00:23:00 --> 00:23:04

accusation of Allah. How? Because you can say La hawla wala Quwata

00:23:04 --> 00:23:09

illa biLlah there is no ability to do good deeds, and there's no

00:23:09 --> 00:23:13

power to stay away from bad deeds except did Allah if I've just

00:23:13 --> 00:23:15

committed a bad deed or a bad deed in the past and I'm saying law

00:23:15 --> 00:23:17

Hold on, I'm like trying to blame Allah

00:23:19 --> 00:23:22

jaundice understand you I've got no power except through Allah but

00:23:22 --> 00:23:24

I committed a bad deal it means that you must have come from

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

Allah. So it has that these are these statements can only come

00:23:28 --> 00:23:32

from somebody who's really thought about these things. You know, who

00:23:32 --> 00:23:36

really thinks about Allah subhanaw taala and they don't want an upset

00:23:36 --> 00:23:41

Allah even in the slightest. Yes, if it's about the future is Hola

00:23:41 --> 00:23:43

Hola. Hola Kota. There's no ability it's going to come except

00:23:43 --> 00:23:46

from Allah. So you're putting your double Quran Allah, you've already

00:23:46 --> 00:23:49

done something a deposit blame yourself. That's why he says that

00:23:49 --> 00:23:52

rather than say La hawla wala Quwata illa biLlah. They will say,

00:23:53 --> 00:23:57

Rob bene, oh our Lord, we have oppressed ourself. And now if you

00:23:57 --> 00:24:01

don't forgive us, and have mercy on us, then we will be from the

00:24:01 --> 00:24:02

losers.

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

Or to say in a singular sense, My Lord, I have oppressed myself

00:24:07 --> 00:24:12

Forgive me, for you are the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful. The

00:24:12 --> 00:24:15

next one is a bit more complicated. I'm just going to

00:24:15 --> 00:24:17

quickly clarify it.

00:24:18 --> 00:24:22

Summarize what we know about Adobe Himalaya coluna needs to be laid

00:24:22 --> 00:24:26

out in an internal layer and iLab agency will have good data at

00:24:26 --> 00:24:30

least a banal binary body images and big middle whoo but in Rite

00:24:30 --> 00:24:33

Aid of economy I had him call me in the lab the needs to be laid

00:24:33 --> 00:24:37

out a fairly Manolito haptic one oh half cocked lower to the answer

00:24:37 --> 00:24:40

who Bhima min Allah He to Allah Allah Billa heater Allah

00:24:40 --> 00:24:43

lentiviral Madonna's as a kind of a technical discussion.

00:24:45 --> 00:24:49

Nobody should say that. I feel congeniality with Allah.

00:24:50 --> 00:24:53

To be congenial with somebody means you kind of on the same

00:24:53 --> 00:24:56

wavelength. And you can only do that with somebody who's off the

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

same type as you. You are so close that you feel very

00:25:00 --> 00:25:04

similar. You really relate and connect. That's Madonna. That's

00:25:04 --> 00:25:06

more aniseh. ons. Right?

00:25:07 --> 00:25:11

That's his opinion, because there are other scholars who have used

00:25:11 --> 00:25:14

that term in a separate sense. So it just depends on how you're

00:25:14 --> 00:25:18

using that term. But he seems to be against using that term because

00:25:18 --> 00:25:23

he says that you can't say that to Allah, you can never, never be

00:25:23 --> 00:25:30

that close to Allah subhanaw taala that, you know, you're so you're

00:25:30 --> 00:25:35

so close and congenial with him like you would be with another

00:25:35 --> 00:25:38

human being because it's just Allah is just transcendent and

00:25:38 --> 00:25:43

beyond us. He says, Look, can you ever feel congeniality with a gin?

00:25:44 --> 00:25:48

And feel that you're like really, really buddy close, you know, with

00:25:48 --> 00:25:52

a gin? It says No way. He says bultaco Uncle Lucia alati, middle

00:25:52 --> 00:25:56

in see the Elgin me. It says if you see if any human sees a jinn,

00:25:56 --> 00:26:00

every hero of his body would stand on end. So how can you say that

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

even about the jinn? If you can't say that about another creation

00:26:03 --> 00:26:08

like agenda? How can you say that about your Creator? Going back to

00:26:08 --> 00:26:12

that hazard point? Our great Imam Muhammad ibn Al Hassan, a che

00:26:12 --> 00:26:16

Bernie. He says something very interesting. He says, Well has to

00:26:16 --> 00:26:20

do winner or shall run nurseryman zealots and Menasha, Yeoman Salim

00:26:20 --> 00:26:22

and Hiramatsu. The

00:26:23 --> 00:26:28

he said, the people who are envied by others, he said the worst of

00:26:28 --> 00:26:33

the people in status is the one who can stay who can live for one

00:26:33 --> 00:26:35

day, being free

00:26:36 --> 00:26:40

and without envy, without being invalid. This is a fact of life

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

you're going to be invalid. Just Just make your dua

00:26:44 --> 00:26:45

for protection.

00:26:50 --> 00:26:54

Likewise, he says that you can't say that I am gaining this

00:26:54 --> 00:27:00

pleasure by Allah or with Allah. Because you just can't do that you

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

can gain pleasure by what Allah gives you what comes from Allah

00:27:03 --> 00:27:08

but not with Allah. Is this is the speech of the words to use.

00:27:10 --> 00:27:14

Wamena Dobby Himalaya Kudo not to Lobo Allah, Tala Bly Hakuna Illa

00:27:14 --> 00:27:19

name of Gooden these are just subtle adab subtle other but it

00:27:19 --> 00:27:23

teaches of the richness of the heritage that we have. Right? They

00:27:23 --> 00:27:29

may seem really beyond us, high level, but they teach us the

00:27:29 --> 00:27:33

sophistication of this. Wala Huhtala module don't wander out

00:27:33 --> 00:27:37

whether you club Durga Hula, hula hietala Ye nama noccalula Tarik

00:27:37 --> 00:27:41

Illa, mighty fatty Lyta Allah, He says also they are from the other

00:27:41 --> 00:27:44

bits that they will never say that we are searching for Allah.

00:27:45 --> 00:27:50

Because you only search for something that is lost. And Allah

00:27:50 --> 00:27:58

is is an essential reality. He's module he's hockey, he's not lost.

00:27:58 --> 00:28:03

And there's no way that you can ever seek encompassing him

00:28:03 --> 00:28:06

entirely. Because he has no boundaries for you to be able to

00:28:06 --> 00:28:12

encompass them. All we're doing is we're just trying to search for a

00:28:12 --> 00:28:16

way to know Allah. That's what we're searching for. We're not

00:28:16 --> 00:28:19

searching for Allah Himself. These are very subtle add up.

00:28:22 --> 00:28:25

Another thing he says is that lie is that you do in a biller him in

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

shape

00:28:27 --> 00:28:30

or in the master you don't I mean, Sheree? You know, when we seek

00:28:30 --> 00:28:37

refuge, from the evil from evil, don't ever say that. I seek refuge

00:28:37 --> 00:28:41

from that thing, or from anything for that matter, because things

00:28:41 --> 00:28:43

intrinsically are not evil.

00:28:44 --> 00:28:49

It says unless it shaytaan right, any other being what you should

00:28:49 --> 00:28:49

seek

00:28:51 --> 00:28:57

the you should seek refuge from its evil. So for example, a person

00:28:57 --> 00:29:01

should not say hola, hola. Hola, Nina and Jimmy halakhic are in

00:29:01 --> 00:29:04

them. I have another Nina and a Sharada. Hello. Oh Allah protect

00:29:04 --> 00:29:08

us. keep us safe from all of your creation. No, that's not what you

00:29:08 --> 00:29:13

say. Say from the evil or from the evil ones of your creation.

00:29:14 --> 00:29:17

Another one which is on a different level. He says either

00:29:17 --> 00:29:21

Mozart refer to him Al Kutub ality you'll see Luna Illa ICWA Annie

00:29:21 --> 00:29:27

him Hoff Amin al Khatib, the very the another adverb. Another one of

00:29:27 --> 00:29:30

the etiquette is that people are very careful about the way they

00:29:30 --> 00:29:35

write. They avoid flowery speech, elaborate expressions,

00:29:36 --> 00:29:39

write elaborate expressions, flowery speech,

00:29:41 --> 00:29:46

adornment, and embellishing their language, out of fear out of fear

00:29:47 --> 00:29:52

that they may resort a may be tantamount to flattery and lying.

00:29:53 --> 00:29:57

So you know, when you try to use these colorful words, flowery

00:29:57 --> 00:29:59

speech, it may actually end up like

00:30:00 --> 00:30:05

You may end up praising somebody more than their level is and it

00:30:05 --> 00:30:09

will end up as a lie. That's why then he relates from Abu Nasr

00:30:09 --> 00:30:14

Bishal haffi. One of the great ASLEF is either cutterbar Hadoken

00:30:14 --> 00:30:17

kita Bonilla who didn't follow us or three four who Beerhouse Neil L

to who sandwich al Kitab. We're gonna sit can

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

is is a winner sort of visual habitual. haffi says that once he

00:30:34 --> 00:30:38

says that whenever any of you write a letter, email or text

00:30:38 --> 00:30:42

message to anybody, then don't try to adorn it with

00:30:44 --> 00:30:48

flowery speech because he says one day I was writing a letter. And

00:30:48 --> 00:30:55

this notion came to me this idea came to me, this flowery speech

00:30:55 --> 00:30:56

expression came to me

00:30:58 --> 00:31:02

which, if I wrote it that way, the letter would sound really nice,

00:31:03 --> 00:31:08

but it would be untruth. And if I didn't use that speech, then the

00:31:08 --> 00:31:14

letter would sound a bit unceasing because of the contents, but it

00:31:14 --> 00:31:18

would be truthful, for Assam to Allah Victorville. Kalaam is such

00:31:19 --> 00:31:20

a sick, sick.

00:31:21 --> 00:31:26

I made a determination that I'm going to write it in the unsealing

00:31:26 --> 00:31:30

way, because that's the truthful way. And then I heard somebody

00:31:30 --> 00:31:34

announced from outside of from one corner of the house with a bit

00:31:34 --> 00:31:38

hula hula Dena Armando, Bill totally Thabeet if inherited dunya

00:31:44 --> 00:31:51

by the established by the established speech, in this world,

00:31:51 --> 00:31:54

in this world of this dunya and in the era, basically that Allah

00:31:54 --> 00:31:57

strengthens a person because of the creme de la ilaha illAllah.

00:32:00 --> 00:32:03

00:32:09 --> 00:32:13

very important one, as soon as you get a bit of fame, as soon as you

00:32:13 --> 00:32:15

got a bit of recognition, not fame, even just a bit of

00:32:15 --> 00:32:21

recognition, immediately your last machine has to come into action.

00:32:23 --> 00:32:28

Right a very important because as soon as you become known for being

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

00:32:32 --> 00:32:38

00:32:38 --> 00:32:42

another thing another of the etiquette is that they abundantly

00:32:42 --> 00:32:45

are making so far and seeking forgiveness.

00:32:46 --> 00:32:52

Especially when people have developed certain ideas about

00:32:52 --> 00:32:52

them.

00:32:53 --> 00:32:57

So to respectful ideas about them, they've given them position. So

00:32:57 --> 00:33:02

then they start making a lot of stuff far. Why? Because they they

00:33:02 --> 00:33:06

know that in reality, they are something different.

00:33:08 --> 00:33:13

And that is why I mentioned in a hadith tuba Lehmann Wu Ji Sahib 30

00:33:13 --> 00:33:18

He is still foreign Catherine glad tidings for the one who in whose

00:33:18 --> 00:33:20

constantly have constantly encouraged people to

00:33:54 --> 00:33:58

abundantly do is take for night and day. Whether they are

00:33:58 --> 00:34:01

remembering you might think, well, I can't remember a certain sin, a

00:34:01 --> 00:34:04

particular sin. It doesn't matter whether it's a particular sin or

00:34:04 --> 00:34:08

just general. Do lots of history far get real benefit out of doing

00:34:08 --> 00:34:12

that. And the last one, we're going to read today's women who

00:34:12 --> 00:34:16

when they are praised, then they start to do a lot of sugar and

00:34:32 --> 00:34:35

seek forgiveness they do both why

00:34:36 --> 00:34:41

they do sugar because they've been given respect. Respect doesn't

00:34:41 --> 00:34:45

come easily. Right especially for good things hamdulillah other

00:34:45 --> 00:34:48

people don't know my bad things sugar to Allah.

00:34:49 --> 00:34:52

And they do so far that I am bad. I am bad anyway.

00:34:53 --> 00:34:58

So Oh Allah, they they make this dua Oh Allah you are more

00:34:58 --> 00:34:59

knowledgeable about me than them.

00:35:01 --> 00:35:05

00:35:05 --> 00:35:06

than what they think.

00:35:08 --> 00:35:11

And do not cease me for what they're saying. They're saying all

00:35:11 --> 00:35:13

these good things, and I'm not that good thing.

00:35:15 --> 00:35:16

Don't cease me for that hypocrisy

00:35:18 --> 00:35:21

and forgive me for what they don't know, or the wrong things that I

00:35:21 --> 00:35:25

do don't do forgive me for those wrong things may Allah accept from

00:35:25 --> 00:35:29

all of us. May Allah subhanaw taala grant us the understanding

00:35:29 --> 00:35:33

of this and allow us to be more particular in the way we say have

00:35:33 --> 00:35:37

more adab in our in our own behavior, and may Allah subhanaw

00:35:37 --> 00:35:40

taala allow us to be closer to him. Welcome to Darwin our annual

00:35:40 --> 00:35:42

hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen.

00:35:45 --> 00:35:49

The point of a lecture is to encourage people to act to get

00:35:49 --> 00:35:55

further an inspiration and encouragement, persuasion. The

00:35:55 --> 00:35:59

next step is to actually start learning seriously to read books

00:35:59 --> 00:36:02

to take on a subject of Islam and to understand all the subjects of

00:36:02 --> 00:36:06

Islam at least at the basic level so that we can become more aware

00:36:06 --> 00:36:10

of what our deen wants from us. And that's why we started Rayyan

00:36:10 --> 00:36:15

courses so that you can actually take organize lectures on demand

00:36:15 --> 00:36:18

whenever you have free time, especially for example, the

00:36:18 --> 00:36:22

Islamic essentials course that we have on the Islamic essentials

00:36:22 --> 00:36:27

certificate which you take 20 Short modules and at the end of

00:36:27 --> 00:36:32

that inshallah you will have gotten the basics of most of the

00:36:32 --> 00:36:35

most important topics in Islam and you'll feel a lot more confident.

00:36:35 --> 00:36:37

You don't have to leave lectures behind you can continue to live,

00:36:37 --> 00:36:40

you know to listen to lectures, but you need to have this more

00:36:40 --> 00:36:43

sustained study as well. JazakAllah harem salaam aleikum wa
