After a discussion
on the characteristics of Jannah
and the descriptions
of the different blessings and bounties bounties and
the different virtues of Jannah that we went
through last time.
Today we look at after everybody being settled
in Jannah,
then Allah
will shower even more blessings on the people
of Jannah.
And also
after
looking at the general descriptions of Jannah,
what are people going to now be doing
in paradise?
Is there will there be certain activities that
they'll do once a month, once a week,
every now and then occasionally?
Will will they go and meet others and
things of that nature. So these are some
of the things that we're going to try
to look at today along with some other
details.
Firstly,
after everybody has been settled in paradise, and
Allah
will come to them and say, Have you
got everything?
Is there any need for you? Do you
have any other needs? And they'll say, no.
We
have everything. We're satisfied. We've been given everything,
and we have everything.
Then Allah
will say that, I am now
happy with you and pleased with you, and
will never
ever be angry with you again. And that
will even increase even more their happiness
in paradise.
After that,
Allah as
he says in the Quran,
For those who do
good,
For them is Husna
which means for them is
the best
reward. Waziyad,
I mean already you think best reward should
cover it. No, even more than that.
Even something beyond the best reward.
So they will have husna,
the greatest of good and they'll have even
more beyond that.
That's what Allah
Allah says in the Quran.
Surat Yunus.
Some have given the commentary of this, the
best reward
refers
to the jannah, garden.
For those who do good, they'll get the
jannah.
And then they'll get more.
So beyond jannah, what is there beyond jannah?
Jannah is jannah. What's beyond jannah?
So beyond jannah
refers to the vision of Allah.
Seeing Allah
And that is supposed to be
more than the jannah.
That's even more.
Because the only reason these people are in
paradise is because they loved Allah.
So now to be able to see Allah
will be more than anything that you've been
given.
Until you haven't seen the person there's always
something
missing. They're all supplementary things.
They're all just extra things. We're waiting for
the real thing
and that is supposed to be the greatest
of the
faces.
Faces
on that day, yawma'idin
naadiratun
will be
listening to this or who's reading this.
Why will the faces be resplendent on that
day?
If we tell if if you read the
verse, on that day the faces will be
resplendent and illuminated.
You'll wonder what?
What would you wonder?
Why?
What is the reason?
Then Allah
does it the other way around. So he
says, Because
they will be looking towards their Lord.
Rather than saying they'll be looking towards their
Lord and their faces will be
resplendent. Wallahu 'alam. But in this it seems
that it is showing
a greater interest that's created when they first
give you a description. They're gonna be
really illuminated and resplendent faces
because they'll be looking towards their Lord.
See, there's a hadith.
The Quran gives these general ayaat that tell
us these
things. But then
the Prophet
gives greater detail
about these things.
So the Prophet
said, after the people of Jannah,
after the people of Jannah have entered Jannah,
once everybody settled in Jannah,
Allah
who is blessed and exalted, he will ask,
Jewish,
do you wish
me to give you anything more?
And they'll say, have you already not brightened
our faces?
Have you not made us enter the jannah
and saved us from the fire?
You've already We're saying what more can you
give? You've already done so much. Out of
thanks we're saying this.
He will
then remove
the veil.
Hijabu An Nur,
they will remove the veil
from in front of.
And now
nothing
when they see him and these veils are
removed,
there will be nothing
that they were ever given that would be
a dearer to them than the this sight
of their
Lord.
O Allah, subhanAllah, that's just something we're gonna
have to wait to see.
InshaAllah. In another version of this hadith, Prophet
reads, saying, my,
And you know what's what it says after
that?
That these people their faces will be like
this.
Never will any form of humiliation come upon
their faces anymore.
They'll never be downcast faces anymore. They'll always
be happy afterwards.
Those are the people of the the garden.
Jabir ibn Abdillar
the famous Sahabi, he relates.
We're once with the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
When he looked at the full moon,
it was a full moon. He looked at
the full moon and he said, you know,
you will see
your Lord with your eyes as you all
see this moon so clearly. None of you
have to jostle each other to see it.
It's so clear, so evident, everybody can see
it.
You will not be hindered from seeing it,
he said.
But then he said something else.
He said, therefore meaning if you wanna get
there and to be able to see your
Lord, if you can manage to pray before
sunrise
and before sunset then do
so. If you can pray before sunrise
and before sunset then do so.
Because
he
said,
Which means
that if you are able
that before the rising of the sun you're
not overcome
come to such an extent that you miss
the prayer.
Tuhl Abu, you're dominated by something else,
sleep. But no, you wake up at that
time and you pray then this is for
you.
So that's a link that he's creating between
salat and especially salatul Fajr.
And the other one he said before the
sun sets,
salatul Asr.
These 2 are the most difficult prayers for
some people,
traditionally speaking.
The reason is fajr is difficult for everybody,
wherever you live in the world.
But Asr is a bit different. And the
reason why Asr is because when you looked
at
classical and
traditional days,
the days would run from
the morning
to sunset, just before sunset. So the Asr
time would be when you're closing shop.
You're dealing with the last customers. You're trying
to clear up and get home.
So you could miss Asr
because you delayed, delayed,
delayed. Thinking I'll pray it, I'll pray it,
I'll pray it.
Here though,
things work differently in this country.
The Asr time goes all the way from
3 o'clock to
8, you know, 8:8 and 9 o'clock,
depending on the time of the year.
So that that's what it is. Make sure
that you're regular. If you're regular on those
two prayers, you would be regular on the
others. The reason is that you'll be home
Maghrib time is so clear. The other thing
is that Asr is especially in the short
days, in a weird time because you
there's nothing going on outside.
At least with noontime, it's very hot. There's
an afternoon, it's just there, lunchtime.
But Asar kind of comes afterwards.
Sunset,
clear
manifestation
of the darkness
coming in and the light disappearing. Ishaa, you're
relaxed at home. You know, you've retired for
the day.
Fajr is the difficult one to get up.
So that's why those 2, if you're regular
on Fajr and Asr, you should be fine
with the rest of the prayers.
Right?
They're the most difficult in a sense. For
us Fajr is probably the most difficult.
So that is
He supporting
his statement with the Quran. That in the
Quran
says, extol the praises of your Lord before
sunrise and before sunset.
Praise your Lord before sunrise and before sunset.
So now this is not just about dhikr
but the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam took
it as salat as well.
But then salat and then spend some time
doing some dhikr before sunrise and before before
Maghrib.
Abu Razeen al Ruqaydi,
he asked, O Messenger of Allah, will we
see Allah without obstruction on the day of
rising?
He said, Yes. He then asked, what is
the sign of that in his creation?
Give us an example of this. How is
that possible?
So then the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
replied, oh Abu Razin,
do you not all see the moon without
obstruction
on the night when it is full? And
he said, indeed we do.
He said, Allah is greater
because
the sun,
the moon is just a creation of Allah.
If you can see a creation of Allah,
Allah is greater.
Okay. You want some more description of paradise?
This is another hadith that's related by Sheikh
Abdullah Alawi.
When the people of paradise
enter the garden,
they will be situated according to the merits
of their deeds.
They will be placed in paradise according
to their deeds.
Level.
Then he says,
Then they will be allowed to visit their
Lord.
So there will be visits
to Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala as such.
They'll be able to visit their Lord for
a time equivalent to that of a Friday
in the world.
Like the Jumu'ah.
Jumuah. His throne will
be placed for them.
His place His his throne will be lowered,
will come down.
And
And he will
appear himself, meaning he will manifest himself
before them in a meadow of Jannah.
And then he says, a dais of light
will be erected for them.
A dais is
manabir minur,
kind of a royal kind of setting. It's
a special kind of throne or platform or
seating that is made for a very respected
guest.
So you call that a daiz,
a
manabir. So now these are the different types
of seatings that would be arranged for this
meeting with Allah
every week.
May
Allah
put us in this majlis
as well.
So he says,
then Allah will manifest himself in one of
the meadows of Jannah,
a dyes of light will be erected from
them will be erected for them. And a
dyes of pearl,
a dyes of ruby,
a dais of chrysolite.
It's kind of a greenish
kind of element, stone actually.
And a a dyes of gold and a
dyes of silver.
These are all the different types
of of chrysalite,
silver, gold,
ruby, pearl
and of light.
Light one must be ajeeb.
So these are the different types of seatings
that people will be given.
And then you know, the lowest of the
low in paradise.
What will they sit
on? They won't get to sit on any
of these
but they will get
the lowest of them whereas none is really
low.
But just
The
little hills of them
and they'll be sitting relaxed on them
and will not feel
because they're not really low.
They're just lower, they're not low.
And that's why they will not feel that
those on the chairs are better seated.
That answers a question that many people have
in their mind.
That when you look up to somebody in
a higher grade, then what? If there's not
supposed to be any kind
of loss, you also get everything you want.
So there is a difference in status
between people in paradise.
But for the people who are lower, they
won't feel bad about they won't feel bad
that they're lost or something,
according to this narration
anyway.
They won't feel that those on the chairs
are better seated.
Says, wuma yaronaa ashabal qarasi
bi aftalaminhum
majlisen.
They will not think that the people who
are sitting on those chairs are in a
better
Maybe that's their reward. That's their extra reward.
But for according to this hadith, and I
don't want to say anything more because Allah
knows best. Allah will take care of us,
inshaAllah.
Abu Hurayrah reports,
O Messenger of Allah, shall we see our
Lord? It looks like many Sahaba have asked
him.
Because in this world you cannot see, and
there is such a strong emphasis on the
fact that Allah is unseeable in this world.
So that the Sahabas are asking that in
Jannah, is that going to the case? So
he said, Abu Hurairah,
he he asked, shall we see our Lord?
He replied, yes. Do you doubt you're seeing
the sun and the moon?
Abu Hurairah said, no. And he said, similarly
you will not be doubtful about seeing your
Lord. None will remain in that gathering but
that Allah will converse with them. Allah will
speak to everybody now.
Every single individual Allah will speak to them.
To the extent
that he will say to each each man,
oh so and so, son of so and
so.
Do you remember the day you said such
and such a
thing? And he will remind him of his
shortcomings
in this world. And the man will say,
well did you not forgive
me? Then
he will reply, indeed it is through the
broadness of my forgiveness that you have reached
this degree.
And as they're speaking,
as this discussion is taking place,
a cloud will come over them.
And shall rain on them.
A perfume the scent of which they have
never experienced before. This is while the discussion
is taking place.
And our Lord will say,
come to the honor I have prepared for
you. Take whatever you wish.
Then they will go to a market.
They will go to a market surrounded by
angels,
not a market of this world.
A market here refers to some place where
you'll go to get
something, but not with the hustle and bustle
and chaos,
and people trying to rip you off,
or trying to make you buy what you
do not need.
So when we say the word market, please
take it in a Jandathi sense.
So
they will go to a market
surrounded by angels,
the like of which no eye has ever
seen, no ear has ever heard, and no
heart has ever imagined.
And this is a literally a free market
in the true sense of the word.
Free market.
What do you do in this market?
You will go
and take whatever you desire.
It'll be a place where you can go
and take whatever you desire.
For there will be neither selling
nor buying
And Allah is just giving.
Allah is just giving.
It's not a free to make the wealthy
even richer.
It's a giving. It's just purely
complete
generosity.
And in that market
the people of the garden shall meet one
another.
So it looks like
this is the place where you'll meet other
people.
You'll meet one
another. A man of high rank
may meet someone of a lower rank.
Now these are questions that are in people's
minds
and none of them are low.
A higher person will meet a person of
a lower rank whereas really none of them
are low.
And he will be amazed by the clothes
he will see him wearing.
Their conversation will not end before he sees
even better ones on him
for there should be no sadness there.
You'll see something and you can desire it,
you'll get it as well because there's no
sadness there.
Sadness is all in this world.
Difficulties are in this world.
Those who face the difficulties in this world
with patience
and perseverance,
then none of these difficulties will be with
them in paradise.
Then we will return home.
Now this was addressed to the men, so
he this is
a description of the way the men will
be dealt with.
So these men who've gone to the market,
they will come back
and
we will be it mentions,
Thumman Ansarif
ila manazilina,
fataalakana
aswajuna
And what that means is,
then we will return home
to be met by our spouses
who will greet and welcome us
and declare that we have returned with even
more beauty
than we had left them.
And this could also be that the women
will come home and find their husbands
and the husbands will find their wives.
And they'll
say, you've come back. You look even more
beautiful than you were before.
So there will be, subhanAllah,
ever increasing beauty. Ajeeb,
if every week this is happening
and every week the beauty is increasing
and the everybody is already beautiful anyway,
then this beauty
cannot be
it cannot be assessed. It's it's something that
it's just relatively beautiful,
even more beautiful.
And if life is going to continue towards
the end and it's not beyond Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala to make something of even more
beauty. I have no idea how to understand
this. This is just this is just so
subhanAllah.
Can you imagine every week even more beauty?
And you think this is the most you
can do and then there's even more beauty.
But I mean if people in this world
can
can
do things like when you look at a
car from the 19 sixties,
I mean unless somebody is into vintage cars
of that nature,
they'll normally prefer the more sleek looking modern
models.
And you see that design has been improved
and floors have been corrected.
But that's not the case here. There was
no floor before.
It's just pure increase in beauty.
But if we can do that with cars
now days,
then
I mean this is not far fetched. This
is nothing is beyond Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
So then when this,
when this assessment is made that you've come
back even more beautiful than before.
The reply will be that we have just
met with our Lord the compeller.
We've just met with our Lord the compeller.
And it is our right
to return with what we have returned with.
There can be no other way. If we've
just met Allah
this is going to happen to us.
There's nothing else that can happen. There has
to be some benefit
and some increase.
The greatest,
highest and most noble and perfect felicity
that is,
is to see the noble face of Allah
in the abode of honor
and of bliss.
May Allah grant us this.
Purely through his grace,
generosity and man manifestance.
And grant
it also to our parents,
our loved ones
and all the Muslims by his mercy for
His He's the most merciful one. That's our
dua Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala.
May mercy embrace
Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says,
my mercy embraces all things.
My mercy
expands over all things,
and covers all
things.
Inform my slaves that I am indeed the
forgiving and the merciful.
He
says,
That, Say, Peace be upon you. Your Lord
has prescribed mercy upon himself.
Repents afterwards
of that and does right, Allah
God is merciful. Then,
QulyaAAabadyaalatheena
Asrfu Allahanfusihim
Oh my servants who have
been prodigal with their own selves. They've transgressed
against their own selves.
Despair not of Allah's mercy.
Thumma yastaghfirillaha
yajidillaha
ghafurararheema
Whoever does evil or wrongs his own soul
then seeks Allah's forgiveness.
He will find Allah to be forgiving
and merciful.
The Prophet
said,
Allah
has a 100 mercies.
And this is just to explain. This is
just to for us to comprehend it. That
Allah has a
100 mercies.
One of which He has sent down to
be divided between the humans,
the jinn,
the birds,
the cattle
and insects.
So out of these, if you split,
if you quantify
this mercy
and make it into a 100 sections,
you take one section
and spread it among all the humans, the
djinn, the birds, the cattle and the insects.
And this is the same mercy with by
which all of them have compassion mercy towards
each other.
He has saved the 99 mercies
with which he will be merciful on his
slaves
on the day of rising.
So
if you wanna hope, we've got a lot
to look forward to
as long as we haven't spoiled it for
ourselves.
It has been related also that on the
day of judgment, Allah will cause this inscription
to appear from beneath the throne.
In the rahmati Saba Qadwadabi
That my mercy has outstripped my wrath.
And I am the most merciful of the
merciful.
And then as many as the people of
the garden will be let out of the
fire.
So when he says that though as many
people are already in paradise, that many more
people will be taken out of hellfire and
then taken to paradise.
The Prophet
said, Allah has more compassion for his believing
slave than a mother has for her child.
Women
who
have
children their mercy is well known. Of women
who have children,
their mercy is well known for their children.
Not a father's mercy,
But the mother's mercy is definitely known. Allah
has more mercy than that.
We've got a lot to look forward
to. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. This is this
is all creating hope.
This is all creating hope.
Allah
will have such forgiveness than even Iblis will
be will hope to be reached by it.
Iblis knows
and he knows Allah has great mercy.
So maybe he secretly that's why he's saying,
I'll do what I like now but I'll
get his mercy afterwards.
But the problem is
that he's missing out something.
But Iblis, may Allah curse him, cannot be
include under any circumstance in Allah's
in Allah's forgiveness.
For he is among those who have despaired
and lost hope in Allah's forgiveness and mercy.
And he is the leader of the
because Allah has made it clear
that he forgives not that a partner should
be ascribed to him, but he forgives
all else to whomever he wills.
The Prophet
also said,
Allah will forbid the fire to take anyone
who affirms that there is no God but
Allah, and that Muhammad is the messenger of
Allah. Anybody who said that, kinniwallahu Allah,illahi Allah,illahi
Allah, Muhammad affirmed it
regardless of what acts he did afterwards,
eventually they will go into into
into paradise.
He will eventually forbid them the fire on
them. And a herald shall call from underneath
the throne on the day of rising.
O nation of Muhammad,
whatever you owe me
I release you from.
Whatever
you owe me, you haven't done this, you
haven't done that.
Then enter the garden through my mercy.
I've forgiven you now. Forgive between yourselves and
go into the garden.
A few other questions,
a person will be with his spouse in
the hereafter.
So for a man who has more than
one wife, that's quite simple to understand
because
men have also been promised many other maidens
as well.
And now this normally when women hear it,
because they have this natural jealousy about them,
which is not necessarily
a bad thing, even Aisha
it's related
about her and the other wives having the
same thing. It's a very womanly thing.
The fact is, to to be really clear
about this, is that despite the fact that
Allah
knows very well how women feel.
Because if Rasulullah
But
no, they're
Rasulullah
But no, they
they
they also had the same feelings
as many women have would have today.
And
the
the different plans they would make against each
other and everything, clearly documented in the hadith.
But
it was all out of their love.
And subhanAllah, when it came down to the
haqq,
for example, when Aisha was slandered,
some of the other wives when they were
consulted, they had the best chance
to really
spoil her
So
So what does that mean?
The one thing that we understand from this
is that the need of the man for
more than 1 wife
while maintaining the first wife.
That's the shot. That's the condition.
They
do. You have to be, you know, you
have to be just while maintaining that. The
need, the
the the the physical,
emotional whatever need of the the man for
more than one wife
is greater
than the unhappiness
that is felt by a woman
towards a co wife or her husband taking
another
one. Because you've got 2 things, they're both
established.
A man's need
and a woman's feeling of
sadness,
grief,
jealousy.
But
despite the fact that Allah knows this, he
still allowed it
with the condition of justice, which is, you
know, which is as much as the human
is able to do.
Right? This is not encouragement to go out
and look for more than one wife, you
know. That I'm not I'm just mentioning purely,
theoretically, to build up the case for Jannah
here.
So for a man,
they will have that.
More on. Now when women look at it
from this jealousy perspective,
it'll be different in paradise.
Before you get to paradise, anybody.
You can imagine that before you go into
certain places,
you have to go through a detector,
right?
Now there you will go to a thing
which will be like an eliminator.
So you will before paradise, before anybody can
get into paradise, they will go through something
which will take away all of the jealousy
from their hearts.
So when they get into paradise there will
be no jealousy in paradise.
So the fact that many women who feel
that how is that possible that men will
have more than one wife in paradise, even
if they only had one in this world,
other meaning maidens of Jannah which have been
promised.
Well, don't worry about it because you're not
gonna have jealousy.
Even if you want jealousy.
Because the way women are normally, many women,
that they
feel it's unwomanly to be jealous.
They think it's a bit
anti natural.
So
they like to be jealous
about it or maybe that's just the way
I'm and I cannot speak for women.
Right? So this is just my perspective,
my understanding.
So I don't know if they do it
purposely
or it's really. But that's a woman's thing.
I mean I can't speak for a woman.
Never been into a woman's mind and body.
So it's impossible
for us to do that.
And
so, you know, maybe I'm I'm just speaking,
but women, I'm sure they'll appreciate what we're
speaking about here.
That you will not have jealousy in paradise.
It'll be stripped away
and your perspective will change. So it doesn't
matter what you think in this world, it'll
be fine.
The main thing is this,
a person was
telling his wife when she didn't do something
for him
that, you know, I'll I'll have other wives
in paradise.
So she was also educated,
also learned. She said, it's okay, I'm gonna
be their leader anyway
because the wife of this world
will be more beautiful than these maidens. You
know, all of these descriptions we read,
that you'll be able to see the marrow
of in their bones
and they'll have this much and their their
beauty is such that if they if she
just looked into this world this will happen,
the fragrance and so on. The worldly wife
will be superior to all of them
and there'll be no jealousy.
So don't worry about it.
The other thing is
that normally
we understand that
as mentioned hadith that men it's promised that
they will have
wahuroona'een and so on.
But for women that's not they they have
not been
promised multiple partners.
There have been some
individuals who've tried to say, no, the Quran
says, Azwaj. The word is means spouses in
general, and thus if women want more partners
than they will be given.
That seems to be a very,
I don't think any of the aslaf, any
of the earliest scholars ever came up with
that idea.
It's a very modern kind of kind of
appeasement,
apologetic kind of understanding.
Right? It's just not an understanding that's found
in the classical literature at all.
And neither is there anything in the hadith,
neither is there anything Quran about
that.
So there's no need to go down that
route.
SubhanAllah.
Because it's in the nature of a woman
and as Allah
SubhanAllah knows best what's in the nature of
people. And we're not speaking about the few
individuals that have gone beyond their balance. Whether
it's men or women
that then like to do things that are
haram and that's wrong and totally imbalanced. That's
that those are exceptions.
Right? And we deal with the nature here.
This is what the Allah
is telling us to keep the kistas and
the mizan correct, keep the balance correct.
So
normally for a woman,
even in this world
a normal woman,
right?
Is that they have security
and beauty,
and they're loved by their husband.
They want love,
they want beauty
and they want security.
These are probably 2 or 3
of the most
important elements
for a woman.
It's one of the most important elements for
a woman.
If they have security
and they've got beauty
and they feel loved,
that is more important than having multiple partners.
A man thinks differently though.
A man thinks differently.
And women must take it out of their
head. That the reason why my husband may
want to another wife
And again I'm not encouraging, I'm just just
discussing.
Right? The reason my why my husband may
want another wife
is not because
there's something deficient
in me. Women need to take this out
of their mind.
As just as I said earlier on, that
I should not be able to speak for
women. I'm speaking for women, but I should
not be able to because I haven't been
in them. I can't say.
I'm looking at it from their from my
perspective that's wrong.
Right? But I'm But but what I mentioned
about Allah in the Quran saying that you
can have more than 1 wife.
That is a fact
and there is a fact that women have
jealousy.
But Allah overlook that jealousy and allowed the
man to have 1 more wife. That's a
fact.
But when I said, I can't speak for
women, I mean like in terms of when
they think about jealousy and why they're jealous,
that's what I was speaking about. Likewise, women
should not think for men in the sense
that, why do they need someone? Is there
something deficient in me?
I remember there was a student who was
not
married. He had a there was a discussion
going on about having more than This is
always a discussion that men have for some
reason or the other. I don't know why
but they have this discussion once in a
while when the women aren't there.
Right? So
they
I'm sure women have their own discussions as
well.
Like the Prophet
related about,
as related from Aisha
as well. That these group of women got
together. It's talking about their husbands. My husband's
like this, like a leopard.
He comes in and you know, they're all
sorts of They were very articulate though. They
were very eloquent in their descriptions as well.
Right? We don't have time for that but
it's a famous hadith. It's related by Allah
matir Imam Tirmidi in his
shama'il.
But
So there was a student,
he was having this discussion.
He was part of this discussion with
another person who had graduated a scholar. He
was out there. He was married and everything.
Student wasn't married. And he was arguing, he
says, why do you need to get why
can't you be satisfied with 1 one wife?
Why do you have to
So instead of arguing with him,
the older person said,
let's have this discussion after you graduate and
after you get married, 2, 3 years after
you graduate, let's have this discussion then.
Let's have this discussion then.
So they left it. There was no point
arguing.
And yes, then this person
went got married.
2, 3 years later, they had this discussion.
And he had to confess to the other
person, now I understand what you're talking about.
The problem in our society, in our culture,
is that women
think
that they've got something wrong with them, and
that is why their husband wanna get married
again.
And men stupidly
make this
a form of torment of their wives, which
is completely wrong.
They have absolutely no guts to go and
get married again. But
they keep saying, I'm gonna do it.
Absolutely
silly.
The reason is, that is one of the
worst things you can do to your wife,
to torture her like that.
They feel so insecure.
They They have nightmares about this thing. They
get paranoid.
Then they start making looking at your emails.
Then they start checking your text messages.
Then they learn all sort of forms of
snooping and spying techniques.
Subhanallah, this is the case I'm telling you.
But you probably started off.
And if you don't I'm talking about the
more righteous ones that don't go out and
do stuff.
Because the others then they're
actually going and talking to others which is
even worse in Haram.
Because then it's physically you see the wife
is seeing that, hey, he's flirting,
which is totally wrong.
So I'm talking about the kind of more
righteous ones that just
around, coming home
late, having other so called friends.
That's completely haram and wrong anyway.
But it's all
wrong.
It's all wrong
to to do this thing like that.
There's a halal thing, it's halal.
You do want to do something, you do
it the proper way, if you really need
to do it.
There's a proper way of doing these things.
Remember it's illegal in this country to marry
twice,
right? It's illegal in this country to marry
twice.
But anyway Khair, that's a that's another thing.
But the main thing that we're speaking about
here is that do not torture. It's a
completely wrong thing to do that.
Right?
But I wanted to clarify because I think
people need to understand these things both, from
both perspectives, from the man's perspective, from the
woman's perspective.
But in Jannah,
it's not established that women have multiple partners.
They will be more than satisfied to have
the one
and to be the the the head of
all of the wives. There'll be no jealousy
in paradise. Now how do you perceive that?
How can a woman perceive that?
That's her challenge.
Just like men have their challenges.
That look, there's gonna be no jealousy.
My husband insha Allah, he's gonna be in
paradise with me. He's gonna have more than,
you know, there's gonna have multiple
maidens there. It's just a promise from Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. It's the nature
of man. You don't like it, you've got
a problem with Allah.
It's as simple as that.
If you're thinking about it from this worldly
perspective,
right? In terms of modern
thoughts,
thoughts, right?
And and you dis you have something in
your heart about it,
then you've got a problem to take care
of. Because it's established that this is what's
going to be the case in paradise.
So you just khalas.
You don't have to start practicing in this
world. You don't have to get married in
this world. You know, I'm just practicing for
Jannah. You know, you want to practice
one person said to his mother-in-law that, yeah,
I'm gonna get married again.
And a mother-in-law came down on him. Oh,
so you you you know, you do all
of these Sunnas before you go to sleep.
You do these sunnahs when you wake up.
All of these little, you know, easy sunnahs
you do those. You're talking about this big
sunnahs getting married again?
She was a mother-in-law.
And a mother-in-law is the toughest one to
deal with.
Comes to that.
But this is very important because the women
they feel
they feel denigrated
that my husband is thinking of another one
because
there's something wrong with me. There's nothing wrong
with
you, except in individual cases there may be
something wrong.
It's just like with a man.
But in the majority of cases that is
not the reason.
It's a man thing.
Just like it's a women's thing to do
something else, you know, halaas.
May Allah
grant us Jannah
with our spouse, with our wives,
and for the wives with their husbands, inshaAllah.
May
Allah help us to
May Allah
give us tawfiq to help each other to
get to paradise.
So that one of us not is not
trading in hellfire. May Allah protect us from
that kind of situation.
And to increase our chances,
we want to get our
both our spouse
and our children.
So all of us,
That's Ibrahim
And if you look at the progeny of
Ibrahim alaihis salam SubhanAllah,
Prophets.
The prophet said, Kareem, ibnul Kareem, ibnul Kareem,
ibnul kareem.
Who
is that?
Whose genealogy is that?
The noble one, son of the noble one,
son of the noble one, Ishaq,
son of Ibrahim Ishaq, son of Ibrahim alaihis
salaam.
But look at his duas,
Oh Allah make us those who established the
salat,
And
of those of my progeny
that they should establish the prayer
is so important.
So that's why it's encouraged that we encourage
our family to all be good. So that
if one of us is left behind somewhere
or has some weakness or shortcoming,
the others Insha Allah will help them out.
You would expect that if somebody is given
rights for shafa'ah and intercession,
who are they gonna make shafa'ah of first?
They're close ones, right?
You would expect that.
If you're in paradise and I'm stuck behind,
you'd help me out, right?
So
you would expect that. So that's why you
you encourage the the surrounding
to create that atmosphere.
That's the barakah of having a good family,
that everybody's doing good.
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala give us the
tawfiq. We got a lot of hard work
to do. We can't just live in the
hope.
The hope is
good, it's to balance out the fear, but
fear is equally important.
So may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala give us
a tawfiq, tawfiq, nasallullaha firdaus. We ask Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala to make it easy for
us in this world to do the good
things, to have the right mind about these
things, to think of it in the correct
way, to see the truth as the truth
and to follow it, and to see the
wrong as the wrong, and to abstain from
it.
May Allah
protect us from sins.
May Allah
protect us from weaknesses, and from evils, and
from
laziness,
negligence,
from love of the world to such an
extent that we don't love to do
good deeds.
May Allah increase good deeds. May Allah
give us love for good deeds. And those
things which make us closer to paradise.
And by this,
may Allah reward all of those whose resources
we have used
to conduct this series which we have just
ended.
May
Allah bless all of these authors
all the way up to Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam. May Allah shower
blessings upon him and his mercies upon him,
as long
as tongues continue to utter his praise. And
even beyond that.
May
Allah reward all of those who've made all
of these resources possible for us,
and organize this course and help to facilitate
this course. And may Allah reward all of
those who've attended this series and this course.
Those who've listened here, those who've listened at
home, those who've listened online,
those who've listened
wherever they are. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
allow
this to be a source of forgiveness for
all of us, a source of closeness to
him
for all of us.
The point of a lecture
is to encourage people to act, to get
further,
an inspiration,
an encouragement,
persuasion.
The next step is to actually start learning
seriously.
To read books, to take on a subject
of Islam, and to understand all the subjects
of Islam, at least at their basic level.
So So that we can become more aware
of what our deen wants from us.
And that's why we started Rayyan courses so
that
you can actually take organized
lectures,
on demand whenever you have free time. Especially
for example, the Islamic essentials,
course that we have on there. The Islamic
essential certificate which you take 20 short modules.
And at the end of that Insha'Allah, you
will have gotten the the basics of
most of the most important topics in Islam.
And you'll feel a lot more confident. You
don't have to leave lectures behind. You can
continue to leave, you know, to listen to
lectures. But you need to have this more
sustained study as well.
