Al Hamdulillah in Hamden can be on play even Mubarak and feeding
Mubarak can only come out You're Welcome, gentlemen.
Are salatu salam ala said you will have even Mustafa SallAllahu
Derrida or at least you are lucky enough
to have a certain level of sleep and you can
only be a mother.
God Allahu Divaldo. Terada can put an emoji.
We're in Nicola hood. Okay, now be.
Further our winner, Camila Azam, Allah, where's the ledger?
Recording proceeding further Naveen, if you hold in the hulky
movie hooky, whether you there are no fear in one of
my dear brothers and sisters.
The discussion we're going to have today based on the poster said the
clemency of the concert Allah
is the clemency of the counselors and let me just
speak about those terms first, just so we understand what we're
here for.
clemency and forbearance, generally, in Arabic, referred to
Hill. Hill means a person who's able to absorb a lot, not react in
a hasty manner in a hasty manner. Not react with foolishness or
silliness. But to deal with things in a very calm and collected way,
for the best.
And anybody who's a leader, anybody who's a manager, anybody
who administrate anything,
anybody who looks after anything, who is in charge of something,
they will notice that there's always going to be challenges in
your life. Nothing.
It doesn't always go according to your plan. While most things may
go according to plan, some things will always come up which will
challenge
and it requires the human being to be flexible. It requires them not
to have a short fuse, not to get angry too quickly, have a lot of
patience, have a lot of perseverance, not to feel that
they fail just because something didn't go the way they wanted it
to. To just give the whole thing up a number of these different
qualities, whether that means running a household, whether that
means running a masjid, whether that means managing a department,
whether that means, you know, supervising a number of employees,
all of these things are like that could be a volunteer job, it could
be a paid job, whatever the case is, it doesn't always go according
to how we would like it. But we have to be flexible enough. And
this is where I think we can learn from Rasulullah sallallahu says,
both on our micro micro level, individual level and also on a
macro level in terms of understanding what is Islamic
perspective towards a lot of the stuff that goes on in the world in
the name of Islam.
What is that there's a lot of stuff that takes place. There's a
lot of incidents, there's a lot of
attacks and lots of things that take place around the world
constantly day in and day out. There's always depressing news. It
just becomes a lot more depressing when it's to do with Islam and
there's the name of Islam within the the perpetrators are Muslim.
So in sha Allah the whole point of this talk is to look at the life
of the Rasul Allah Islam in the short time that we have. And
understand from the Sierra the blessings, zero, the blessing
lifestyle, how the prophets of Allah I'm reacting in, in a
default state.
What I mean by that now is that you will find Hadith in the Szalai
of Imam Timothy, for example, that this girl that discusses in depth,
the characteristics of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam in detail, you
will find one Hadith, which says that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam on one occasion, he became so flustered, that his
cheeks became as red as though some seeds of a pomegranate had
been crushed on his cheek,
became extremely angry in certain cases. And that is there. And it
makes it very clear that if the boundaries of the Sharia
boundaries of the sacred law, if Allah's rights were to be
violated, then he would clearly get angry for them. So the
practice and the law is it wasn't this man who was so laid back,
that he had no idea how to control things, and people would walk
home. Let's get that out of our mind. There are instances, a few
there are instances where the proselytism didn't make certain
judgments based on avenging summary. However, what we want to
look at is what the default state was because unfortunately, what we
see around the world and some of those that
seem to represent the Muslims
and definitely have a bigger name than the vast majority. They are a
minority, but they seem to make bigger headlines and evoke, more
evoke a lot more response than the vast majority. Their default state
seems to be of anger,
violence and killing and murder, and isolation, destruction. It
seems to be the default state. Like if you saw
something nice come from them that would be like an accident or an
exception to the rule. And this is where we need to understand now I
know there's a lot of factors in the world when you look around,
and how Muslims are wherever. In many cases, the Muslim world, non
Muslim world Myanmar, currently the Rohingya Muslims, where
there's a huge amount of oppression and that does make a
lot of people's blood boil, evokes a huge amount of sympathy.
How do you channel that sympathy? How do you channel that anger? How
do you channel those feelings? That's what we need to understand
is that's the most complicated. It's about what to do in the right
way, without making a greater mess, without making the matter
even worse than it's supposed to be. That's what's important. Let
us look at the Prophet salallahu alayhi salam, firstly, I must
quote from the Quran. Allah subhanho wa Taala says
we're in Nicola, Allah Photokina when you are on the sublime
character,
I'll leave you on the mighty character, sublime character,
highest form of conduct and character. This is what Allah is
addressing him and seeing and, as some of the scholars have said,
that LA or Avila Mima Azam, Allah azza wa jal, they can't be
anything greater than what Allah considers to be great. Allah is
the Greatest Allahu Akbar, Allahu Allah. Allah Who cavea Allah is
Mighty majestic, he is full of grandeur. Allah subhanho wa Taala
has everything at his disposal and when he says something is greater
than that must be great and they can't be anything greater than
that. So if the prophets of Allah Islam is being addressed by
Rasulullah sallallahu by Allah subhanho wa taala, to say you are
on the greatest of character, then that must be the greatest thing
they can't be any greater character.
Now, clemency and forbearance comes from a good character, it's
one of the most difficult things to actually imbibing oneself.
This has actually led one of the great poets of medieval times.
great poets of Egypt, you see the, to actually say, in comparing the
Prophet sallallahu Sallam to other prophets forget the rest of
creation, forget una, he is comparing the Prophet Muhammad
Sallallahu sallam, to the other prophets, all of those 124,000 or
so that have graced this world and to say about them, and the
comparison is this is as far could've been if he hung him off
the hook.
He has superseded he's gone transgress beyond. He's
transcended beyond any of the other prophets, both in terms of
how, who he was how he's made. And in terms of his character, there
is just no comparison. In fact, he goes on to say in another place,
he says that the other prophets
you know, when you have writing in Arabic, you have the Elif Berta,
and if la meme Al Hamdulillah, he won't be either mean. And we have
the Holika we have the vowels in Arabic, the vowels are not
letters. In English, vowels are letters, they take a whole spaces
A e, i, o, u, but when it comes to Arabic, you can actually get away
with much
with much less words, because the vowels are not actual characters.
They're they're just symbols, the Dhamma, Fatah, Castro, etc. The
comparison he gives, He says that the other prophets are just like
the harkens. They're like the vowels, the symbols, and the
professionalism is like the words. That's his mission. That's what
his message is, that is how much more superior it is. And this is
not to denigrate any of the other prophets. They are way much more
higher than any human being can ever reach any other human being
can ever reach. That is the status of the brain because there's a God
given status. They're chosen by God. You can't work to be a
prophet. You can't acquire it, you can't study for it. It is
something that Allah chooses somebody for. Now, when boo CD is
actually comparing the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam to
them, he doesn't need to compare the promises and then to the rest
of humanity because the rest of humanity is way, far from even any
of the prophets and the prophet had the greatest of status. They
were the most comprehensive role models. They were
divinely inspired, divinely protected, they didn't sin. This
is our belief about God.
And then he says, well, um, you know who failed meanwhile,
they could not even come come close, meaning the other prophets
could not even come close to the promise of loss and neither in
knowledge and neither in benevolence, I just give you one
point that highlights the difference between the other
prophets and the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, and it just
tells you where our status is.
Musa alayhis salam asked Allah, that he wants to see him that he
would like to be able to see him with his eyes and Allah says,
Linda Ronnie, you will never see me. Finally, when there was a bit
of a persistence, Allah subhanaw taala says, Fine, look at that
mountain. Just look towards that mountain. And when Allah subhanaw
taala is liked was manifested.
Musa alayhis salam fainted, he fell unconscious. That was just
too difficult for him to be able to comprehend and encompass that.
That's just one example.
When the Prophet Mohammed Salah Islam has actually chosen to go
out of the realms of this world, and go up through Jerusalem, up to
the seventh heaven. And when you look at the Hadith related about
the Mirage about the ascension in the Bukhari Muslim, you will be
amazed. He says, I then got to a place
where Gibreel, who had been Jubilee Lani salaam, the Arch
Angel, who has pretty much seen all the prophets, and he's been
the main messenger among the message among the problems.
He was, he had been accompanying him all of this time, to all of
the various different places. Finally, they came to what they
call the Sidra to remove the hub, the furthest looks tree
as mentioned in serotonergic,
when he got there, the Hadith mentions that gvrd Salaam, several
now we've come to the absolute limit of the universe, beyond this
icon, even venture, even the Arch Angel Jibreel, who is
you can say among all of the
angels, he is the master angel, the Arch Angel, he says, I can't
even go beyond here. The prophets of Allah ism had to proceed alone
to meet with Allah subhanho wa taala.
Allah invites him to be to forget just looking. Allah invites him
for a meeting. Some of the narrations mentioned here that
while he's there, you can imagine you're out of the universe. This
is not even something that you can even comprehend the out of the
universe. What does he mean by universe, time, space, air,
microwaves, whatever you want to put into that universe from
physics, or however you want to look at it, is beyond that.
It's emptiness, it's devoid. It's a voice of God, God knows what
that is. And he says that he hears the voice of Abu Bakr Santiago de
Allah.
And the question is, why did he hear that voice of Abu Bakr Siddiq
or the Allah
because when he's there, he could feel so alone, there's nothing
you're not used to even. There's no experience like that. Just so
that the practice also doesn't feel alone. He's given a familiar
voice or Volker said need to be alone. Of course, it tells you in
the same breath that the great status or bucket of Cindy
Guardiola, may Allah bless him, may Allah have mercy on him, we
know that then he goes to meet with Allah subhanaw taala. Now
according to a number of the Sahaba the majority opinion is
that he saw Allah SubhanAllah.
Now just look at that compared to any of the other provinces. All
I'm doing is I think we haven't understood the position of Rasul
Allah. That's all I'm trying to mention here.
The comparisons I make is just to show what status are we missing
something or
are we missing something?
May Allah subhanaw taala show his abundant blessings upon him? And
may Allah subhanaw taala. Grant us his company and shafa intercession
on the Day of Judgment. So now, numerous incidents during the time
of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam about how to act in
especially challenging situations. Let's just say an employee of
yours is giving you trouble. Now, do you have a few responses?
Right? If you're the person who makes the decision, you say, just
get rid of them? How do you know the next one that comes in? You
need somebody to work for you, right? You need somebody to fill
that space. That's why you have them here. If you just get rid of
them, the next person might be even worse.
How would you deal with that? They make they they launch a personal
attack against you. How do you deal with that?
You get personal about it. Do you try to deal with it in a
professional manner? How do you feel? The most important thing is
how do you feel because that's going to govern how we react. Now
look at the Boeing 737
I would say that some of the most profound narrations in this regard
are related from one zahavi whose name was Anna symptomatically.
Allah. He started off when he was about 10. Also with the Prophet
sallallahu sallam, his mother said, look, I've got a child who's
10 years old, he's going to serve you. He's going to be at your
service and the Prophet sallallahu Sallam took him on. And this also
the Allah one. RG RG there's a hadith narrated by mama mudo under
understood the Allah one who says that I stayed with him for 10
years. He stayed with the promises over 10 years the whole Madani
life, the Madani life, the one in Medina, that was for 10 years.
The province of Allah listen, he says that I served him for 10
years, never once did he say to me,
or we'd say, you know, whatever.
Sounds on a metal peak sounds that people make, never once, no sign
of displeasure like, no sound of displeasure like that Not once in
10 years.
Tell me, can you even do that with your children? Can you do that
with your employees? I will never say anything.
In fact, never for anything that I have you ever done probably
incorrectly? Did he ever say why did you do that? Or something that
I was supposed to do. But I abandoned? He never said to me
limit or to limit or the Why did you leave it
Subhanallah the reasoning that was given is that whatever Allah has
decreed is going to happen.
That's the motto. Now, clearly, if you use that, it's not going to
work for us all the time. Because at the end of the day,
the only reason the prophets Allah loves me saying that to disobey
Allah one more about is that he knows us is doing his best.
When you know somebody is doing their best, and they don't intend
some kind of violation, some kind of wrongdoing some kind of
blunder,
then the character says, then you leave it although you can't
discipline somebody who did something by mistake.
I remember once I used to attend a class
with another teacher of mine, who attended the same class as a class
on Kerala, in southern Kerala. And I was together with a teacher of
mine who had studied for several years with other subjects. But we
both then happen to be in the same class with another teacher. So we
were both students now under this teacher, and this teacher wouldn't
teach if any of us were missing. So in that lesson would be wasted
in a sense if any of us was missing.
I forgot about the class after us. And I went home.
And I only realized later when somebody came and told me, or
there were no phones in those days, I didn't have a phone ago,
this was in India, that they're waiting for your class. Somebody
came all the way. So I quickly rushed them sheepishly
embarrassed, you know, I sat down, and
it was obviously too late for the class, but my share who's who, for
whom this class had actually been convened. I said, I'm really
sorry. He says, do you do it on purpose? Is it my internal
purposes?
Such as his o'clock was wonderful. Did you do it on purpose? Now, I
obviously we had a limited amount of time, and we had to finish the
product in that time for that, or several. And clearly, every moment
was very valuable. But this was his answer. I learned from them. I
learned from them, because I like to fly off the handle sometimes.
So I learned from this is the profit and loss on this character.
We actually call this teacher Sufis.
Because that's what he is. He's just too cool. He's just Allah
bless him. And that's how he is. Now, of course, you know that
somebody is making a blunder. You can't just say, Okay, let it be,
you have to do some, it's your responsibility to do something
about it when somebody's purposely doing wrong.
And this is really sad, because a friend of mine who work for
British Gas in installing smart meters is a big movement in the UK
of getting smart meters in every house, and all these big energy
companies. That's what they're doing. So a friend of mine used to
work for British Gas. They've got a very disciplined job. He was
actually headhunted for a managerial position in another
company. When he got there was chaos. And the people causing a
lot of the chaos for our people. Unfortunately, religious people,
Namazi people, solid people, people concerned about this all
the time.
You're supposed to fit six meters a day. That's the average. That's
the kind of encouragement. It's a bit ambitious, but still, they
will do two a day.
So we'll start at eight o'clock, they will start at 10 o'clock. And
it's all tracked because the vans are all tracked, and everybody can
tell. Problem is the reason that we're getting away with it for so
many months. Is because of
the racism card.
The original manager, the head manager there, he's an English and
the rest of them, the these particular employees, their Indian
Pakistani origin, right? So it's a racism call that they were playing
until all the unions get involved and so on and so forth.
So when this friend of mine got into that job, that manager put
him in to supervise those individuals. Within a few days, we
discovered that he's given me a very troublesome team.
So he talked to him about it and said, Well, that's what you got,
you got to do this job now. That's your job right? So you're getting
paid for
they say that I am is only cut by Ami. So mashallah he managed to
sorted out he brought the people in, he says, Look, it's not gonna
work, okay, you don't do six meters, but you need to do at
least for
the guy behaved for a few days. But eventually, he resigned
himself, we took off, you know, it's not going to work anymore.
This, this holiday is finished.
Now, this is really sad. So in that case, the manager, my friend,
who became their supervisor couldn't say, oh, it's all because
of the law. So let it go. It's only when you know somebody is
doing well. And they are trying their best, then after that, to
push them more. That's oppression. But if they're not doing that you
your responsibility is to take stock, and to do something.
Clearly the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam ability in 10
years never to say anything but show mercy to answer your loved
one. This has to come. This is not normal. This has to come from
somebody who Allah has said to him, we're in Nicaragua.
They come come from anywhere for 10 years. You never say anything
to anybody. Give me that example. Give me that example.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam another Aisha only Allah
one on herself in narration without a Kudo. Madaba Rasulullah
sallallahu if some Shaitan to be
the Prophet sallallahu some did not strike
anything, anything, not anybody. She didn't say any wife and he had
nine wives at one time. Now, that would have been a big statement.
Because unfortunately, in some cultures, that thing goes, it's
okay. And I'm quite surprised that still exist in some places.
Anybody that asked me this question that a wife when she says
that I'm being domestically, you know, hit anxiety, go to the
police? No, I can't do that. My husband, what are you going to do
that? If there's nobody else to help you? What is it you're going
to you're going to keep being beaten up. Go to the police.
What else am I going to tell them? You told me? Because this is a 20
year old marriage. I've said dude, is there anybody that can he
doesn't listen to anybody? That's the answer. He doesn't listen to
anybody. And that's the answer I generally get.
So what do you do? They are basically just relying on the fact
that you are in this victimized state, vulnerable, you won't tell
anybody. It's a very complicated See, may Allah remove that from
May Allah removed that from another person I know very a
friend of mine, many, many years ago.
We both got married, I think. I know he got married later. I never
touched my wife. Never.
He told me once, email me, he says, Oh, he called me says, Man,
I beat my wife. I said, What? Why did you do that?
You can't do that. Now, the riff, the conclusion we drew is because
he'd seen others do the same. You thought that was what you do.
hamdulillah since that day, as far as I know, he doesn't do it again.
A lot of this is traditionally sometimes a lot of this is
tradition. You see somebody else you think that's the way to do it.
You don't know any other way to do that's not the province of Roisin
though that's a culture
that so we have to really make an understanding of really a
comprehension in our mind. Our each of you and the wife of the
province have or something youngest of them is saying that
the process was and did not strike anything hit anything with this
hand, what are emergent What are Habiba? Neither any woman neither
any higher demand servant because in those days you had servants and
slaves, slaves people did beat them up. Unfortunately, the
process wasn't used to tell people for doing that. In fact, on one
occasion he saw it as a hobby doing this and he said you know
what, Allah has more power over you than you have overnight slave.
So if he's made a mistake, and you're doing this to them, then
what about your mistakes to Allah what could he do to you in the
infinite ways that he could do something
that's the profits and losses default state so I usually Allah
wanna says, Neither woman, no huddle, unless he was in jihad in
the path of Allah then he must he did strike so
Somebody wants and that was just like he just kind of touched
somebody with a spear and that person was That was that was his
default site
versus some would be there in battles but he hardly struck
anybody like like in a proper you know, it was just this touch that
he gave to somebody. Well my knee let me show you we'll talk people
inside he never was he ever challenged by something afflicted
by something and then personally that he actually avenged it in the
US Takashi Mehari, Mila here is lying DRONGO unless it was
something to do with the rights of Allah. Then there there was no
compromise because that's me Don't Mess With Allah's words and the
luxuries. Personally speaking the promise of the listener was
understood the Allah one who says that once now this was unassessed
personal experience. Now he gives another expense we should need to
buy mumble fighting understudy Allah Allah says that once I was
walking with the prophets of Allah by yourself, he had a Nigerian
Nigerian is I believe a place in the towards the south of Arabia,
maybe in Yemen, right when the Christians giveaway gets in the
north. This is where you got these nice sheets, you know, these kinds
of shorts were made. So you had a bulletin measure on you and you're
only shown that's what the professor was on had on what these
majority shows had a hem. You know, the finishing the hem, there
was a bit rough. That's what these were. He had it on. This Bedouin
came up now Do you know what I mean by a bit of a Bedouin are
generally people who live out in the deserts. They're quite
uncultured.
Right, they're very rough and tough. They don't have
particularly what we would city urbanized people consider to be
civilized speech. They just ask it the way it is. Right? They don't
have any video. They just say it the way it is. And it can be quite
rough and tough in their in their approach. And it always doesn't
have to deal with them because he was a prophet to them as well.
So now what happens is this one of them catches him takes hold of
that sheet of that shawl, and he pulls it roughly like you know, to
attract attention.
And then he says to him, and you know why he does not because the
other great Paul, he had some axe to grind. He wanted something from
the principles, you know, and look at the way he says it, okay, his
word choice. He says morally mean man in mind in Lahaina here in the
UK.
Give a command
to give me some of the wealth that of Allah, some of the wealth of
Allah that you have.
Allah is giving you certain wealth is Allah as well, you need to tell
somebody to give me some of it. Now, generally, a cultured person
will say, I need to approach him with a pleading tone. I need to be
humble. And these guys can get over that.
Now, tell me something. How many of us actually stopped to think in
that kind of situation?
That where is that person coming from?
Because it sounds weird.
Normal people didn't do this. It wasn't like he was used to people
doing this to him every day. And thus, you thought okay, there's
another guy doing it. No, this was random. Only somebody with full
control. By default state of clemency can do this. The problem
was I'm turned around to him and smiled. For talking into
photography, photography. He smiled at him. And then after I
said, Okay, give him so on such and such. I know I couldn't do
that. If I get cut off and somebody pushes in front of me,
I'm just driving. I haven't even heard me yet. I never touched my
car. They haven't done any. And
I'll get an aggravated.
There's another narration related by Imam Hakeem estado very
interesting. Now, this among the Jewish tribes of Madina, Munawwara
there were three prominent Jewish tribes of Madina Munawwara
there was there's a number of them that have become a small minority
or they became Muslim. You know, there was Abdullah salam ala was,
there is one particular individuals name was Zane Ignacia.
For Serena Zaid in Lucerne, he was among
the Jews from the Jewish tribes, but he is considered to be one of
the most honored and respectable individuals from among them are
converting so
among those who are converted, he is the most respectable
individual, like he you can tell he's somebody who thinks he wasn't
somebody just randomly converted. He tells his story. He says that I
have observed based on the Torah, the Old Testament, I had observed
every sign of the new prophets on the promise of a Lauricella that
he is the new prophet. There were just two signs that I had left. So
there was
Signs in the Old Testament and mentioned what this new prophet
would be like. And I had identified all of those signs
except two signs.
Those two signs were does his forbearance, clemency and patience
go beyond his ignorance? Are they more powerful than his England?
Does he act in a foolish way if he is challenged by something of that
nature or is even acting for very rare?
And when somebody acts foolishly with him, it only increases him
in four barrels. So number one, in the beginning, right off the you
know, the default state is that he has a more temperate, more
Clements and more forbury and patient approach. And the more
somebody acts foolishly within one is that okay, you start off and
you're like, Okay, I'm going to be calm about this. And then the
person just carries on and gets even worse and worse, that just
rubs you the wrong side. Eventually, when are you going to
break with the products that are awesome, you would never break,
you would actually make him even more Clemens was just built
another way. Subhan Allah, it's just really strange. May Allah
grant us that ability. May Allah because you know, there's a hadith
Rasul Allah. So it says that the person who has been deprived of
compassion and softness than it is as though he's been deprived of
all forms of goodness.
So, you know, those of us who take pride in being harsh and rough and
tough and strict and so on.
We have to think about how much of that is praiseworthy, we really,
yes, strictness discipline is a good trait, but harshness is not.
How can you be strict and disciplined.
But be it'd be done in a compassionate way. That's
difficult. And it's only the profit and loss and I managed to
combine these things. I'll just give you another simple example.
For the Ignore ARB was considered to be one of the greatest
ascetics, one of the greatest RBD of birds. In fact, he was called
the Yeah, I'll be the Halloween the worship of the Two Holy
centuries because he went there. He did so much worship in Macomb,
Cairo, Manila, Manila. He was given that title I think, by
Abdullah even on the blog,
he had a he started with a very it was a hiring
target and then it became very reformed and became one of the
grades What do you love?
He had a son and the scholars mentioned that his son was even
more fearful of a Lavinia there was a certain surah in the Quran,
which I think was a hardcore Takakura that if it was ever read
in front of him that would you would you would just really,
really, really
change your state. For Aw, Riyadh was imam in the masjid his wife,
the mother of his son made him promise that you should never read
that surah in your salats you know, in Muslim Orisha, Salah
division, you should never read that sooner, because she feared
for her son. On one occasion, he didn't realize his son was
present. And he recited that sort of thinking son wasn't there,
okay, it isn't my chance. His son passed away because of the fear
from this. I know these are extreme stories, right? This is
not something you observe every day.
He is seemed completely composed on that day.
He seemed
he seemed completely composed, not breaking down. He knows what has
happened. He obviously feels it but his demeanor, scholars have
compared that said was that the correct approach to keep yourself
so composed that you don't even weep? Allah knows whether you make
wept in privacy or not. And look at the Promise of Allah some of
the prophets of Allah Islam is invited by his daughter, because
his child is on the last throes of this life. First, he says look,
you know, gives a message that for Allah is whatever he takes and so
on. So, she insists that he come along. So he went with a number of
prominent Sahaba companions. When he got there, he held the child
inside his last throes, and he started meeting.
Now the some of the Sahaba there they felt the question in their
mind, which they vocalize. They said that yesterday You're doing
this because remember, the tradition had been that when
somebody died, people would
wail they will actually professionally employ women who
would come and they will professional welders, they would
cry, telling Carmen's
the hair was all over the place. But otherwise, if you didn't do
that, it meant that you didn't really give a good sending off to
your to your disease. These are cultural. So Islam came and done
away with it. But people didn't call it that you could cry a toy.
Can you see how one extreme trying to curb that extreme continue to
another extreme. So when the Brock is the lowest in the world
He, He has two conflicting emotions. One of the emotions is
the natural emotion you feel when somebody of yours or somebody
you're close to is about to depart. That's a natural emotion
that wants you to cry.
The other is
the ruling that nobody should Well,
it's only the professor Lawson, who is when you get these
conflicting pressures, we wanted you to do one thing a lot wanted
to do something else, that he can do the right way. So he told him
what he says this is mostly.
And this is completely fine to cry a little bit as long as it
doesn't, you know, read lead to the waiting. Another similar
example. Imagine here that somebody comes in one of those
Bedouin swirls or arm right now you don't generally get them in
London, let's just say somebody came as a refugee and he came into
this machine and started urinating in the court. Well, not here,
maybe on the in the passage.
It's gonna be what are you guys gonna do? What are we going to do?
Man? What's it doing? You know, even when it gets to children, we
sometimes make a big deal out of it. And I know the master copy
that I know it costs a lot of money to clean that up. And it
costs a lot of aggravation. Somebody came in did this in the
title of sort of loss of realism, as you know, the famous heavy the
Sahaba went to try to stop him. Can you see the various pressures,
the vat, the sanctity of the masjid has been violated. He's
been impure if you can't even come in dirty. And this is impure urine
we're in right, right. So the sentence is in your mind,
with the Prophet sallallahu, alayhi wasallam. Despite all of
that, he says love to see what you don't need him. It's going to be
hard. Now he's already done the job. Now he's already doing it's
already been polluted. Now, if you try to stop in to try to stop
somebody, Midway, it's actually harmful. Who thinks of these
things? Who thinks of these things, but the products I was on
did said, Look, we just put water over it afterwards. And he then
explained to him that look, these mustards, you don't do this kind
of stuff here is not for that, right? And therefore prayer, and
so on and so forth.
Just very difficult for us when we need it, to be able to deal with
it. So anyway, they didn't say and then he says that I discovered and
identify all of the signs except two signs, which I mentioned, that
person was extremely forbearing, dominated by multiple variables.
And number two, the more silly you activate him, the more cool he
became, right. So I personally believe that the reason he was
able to do is because of his double colon, Allah subhanaw taala
Israelites in Allah, that was, that was what I think of when you
have this. But anyway, he says, what happened is, in order to test
him in this regard, I went and made a deal with him, so that I
could find out if he how he will perform at the discretion.
So I paid him for dates. Now the date was still on the trees, there
was still to be grown. So you know, you go in you say to the
farmer, that I'm gonna pay you in advance, and I want this many
kilos of data, this many tons of dates, or mangoes, or wheat or
whatever, that's, that's what you call a sudden, right? It's like a
for trade, pay the money in advance, and you get the product
later, we generally will get the product close on paid at and
credit, right, that is the other way around. So I did that to a
particular date that he was supposed to give me dates by that
time.
About two or three days before that this was all planned. This is
what I designed two or three days before that date that he was
supposed to give me. I went up to him.
And I took hold of his tunic. Like I literally took hold of his tunic
and of his shoulder, his sheet. And I looked at him you watch him
as a leader then with a very stern stead or a harsh look. He's all
put on assault.
And I said to him, Dini, Muhammad, happy over humbled and you're
gonna give me my rights right?
Now, just imagine somebody did that with somebody's borrowed
somebody always and we owe somebody somebody something and
two or three days before they come in they this hotshot, we're going
to feel and it is our right to say why are you doing this? You got
two days, it's completely within our rights completely within our
rights. Right? Now we can even fall to the same.
generalist, it's within our right because there was an agreement,
though he has the right to actually ask in advance.
But just to give you an you know, if you lend money to somebody
money into another, not one of these days, but if you lend money
to somebody and you say give it to me after two years, you actually
have the right to ask for it the next day.
That is the cause. Yes, it's against promise and all that. But
you actually have the right it's not like now you can't get that
money anyway, until for two years. If you became a need, you can go
and ask for that money and be within your right to do so. Right?
Because that agreement was not is not obligatory. It's just
recommended and nice to live up to all right, I just want to mention
Now that if somebody doesn't lend you money and then it comes in
advance Then don't say, mean you can try to persuade him to give
you that time and so on. And it is recommended initially to give
people time as a massive reward for giving people more time who
can't genuinely pay. But anyway, this is why he doesn't look saying
sternly in the face. And he says, aren't you gonna give me my
rights?
And then he makes it personal.
In those days to say this would be very bad. It's like saying my plan
you Gujarat is a whole like this. You Nigerians are all my case, you
Punjabis are like this. Now, that gets even worse, right? What is
it? Then you're getting really personally, he says to him from
Allah, He, in Camilla, very Abdul Muttalib Mottram, you guys, you
children of Abdul Muttalib very respectable individual grandfather
of the boys also, you know, your people are always delaying in
repayment, which is not true. But if something is not true, then you
get even more angry. He's giving him all the reasons to get angry,
he's provoking you.
Oh my God, Allah when he was there to spray now he says I do Allah.
Oh, enemy of Allah.
Allah sweet. So masma, you saying what I'm hearing, he was shocked
that somebody could be so blatant. So belligerent for Allah, he don't
know might not have it. If it wasn't for what I feared, then I
would have struck you heavy by so that's what I'm going to
straightaway.
Now, look at the promises on what you expect him to do. Now, of
course, otherwise, and I imagine there's somebody who came and then
that judgment on what to do and saying, Well, this, the prophets
or Larson is looking at Omar, in a calm, collected magazine looking
at
what you do.
He's looking at him.
And he's smiling out here. And he said to him,
either way, who couldn't watch killer lady has I mean,
he and I are in need of something other than what you're saying.
That's not what you should be seeking. Now, for us, we think,
Yeah, wonderful. Somebody's defending me. I don't need to do
it. Somebody is different. It sounds nice. When you've got
support there. It helps in any argument. That No, you said
we need something else from November. And then he tells him
what he's teaching them. He says under warranty because Neil and I
you should be telling me that yes, you should pay back properly. You
should be excellent in your repayment. That's your advice.
That shouldn't be your advice to me. Right. Because I'm one of them
may have not known that exact timing and so on as well. He
should have just said that's what the posting is recommended that he
does, and what that more will be hosting in the hallway. And you
should have just encouraged him to ask in a better manner. To give
more time to deal with it in a more excellent manner. That's what
your responsibility is.
In heavy armor, okay. Go with him. Don't take him focus. Fuck the
fact that he had to go give him give him his rights. And Zito
issued a sovereign McCullough ma router
give him 20 measures more than what was the agreement.
Now, you know if that was me and said like, you know, you got two
days left. Right, you got two days left? No like what it today? Okay,
fine. Here take it. And then I'd probably love to just mentioned
this in the worst itself.
I mean, many of us are saying now you're gonna give it to him, given
the the messed up ones. Look at the way he's doing this, to get
back at him because this was all unwarranted. No processing gives
him 20 More 20 More measures 20 more measures SubhanAllah 21
measures. And he did so. So then the this Jewish individual, he
says yeah, Omar, when he was with Armand insists on every single
sign of Prophets, I had seen in the face of the roadside observe
in the face of proximally Salam except these two and I have not
even been told that it had happened before. So that's why I
tested I make you witness now.
That I am now satisfied with Allah as my Lord, with Islam as my
theme. And Muhammad salallahu Salam has My prophets.
That was a tough sale. But the Prophet sallallahu Sallam will
give us
another occasion, similar occasion this
another desert Arab coming. We aren't picking on desert areas
today, but they highlight our case because to be honest, anybody
who's gonna deal with us foolishly is just one of those. That's what
you have to think about. Then it gets a bit easier
right that's why the Prophet Allah tells us in the Quran that when
you address an ignorant person say salaam salaam deal with salaam
salaam, just, peacefully.
Just peacefully deal with it, avoid it, just slip through it
without causing issues. Anyway, this hadith is related by
Imam Bazar. And Haytham, you mentioned it as well, another
Allah, He came to the voice of the Lord. And he says, Can you give me
something? Like, I need some help? So the Prophet saw some gave him
something. And then for some reason, the person also said,
accidentally, like, have I done you? Well, by treating you? Well,
I don't know why he asked him that when you asked him that. So this
doesn't, they were very gracious. And he said, No, you didn't. And
you didn't do it? Well,
like you didn't act gracefully. So the Muslims who around the
believers were sitting there, they stood up for the province of
Assam, indicated to them to sit down right now take it easy,
right? I'm dealing with this. And then the rest of the lawyers went
into his house. This was outside in the masjid most likely, then he
went inside his house. And
he then called for the desert. And he sent him some more in give him
a given, gave him some more. And then he said to him, why don't you
well?
And he said, Yes, now you've done we will, may Allah reward you, on
behalf of the entire family and in behalf of the entire tribe, may
Allah Now reward you on behalf of everybody. So then the promise
otherwise, on seven I remember, this is a private discussion,
because that was public. And now this is private. He said to him,
that, you know, you said what you said earlier, and the Companions,
my companions, they have a feeling in their heart about this, right?
They are troubled by this, if you wish, you should say this now, in
front of them, what you just said to me, you should go and say to
them, repeat it to them, until whatever is in their heart
disappears. He doesn't like the person doesn't like to keep
grudges, and doesn't like grudges to be kept by other people. So he
said, Okay, fine. They were very straightforward. People see this
all day long. You know, they were very straightforward. People like
knowing. So the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam that said that went
out. And he said this, Bedouin, he said, what he said, I gave him
some more. And now he claims that he satisfied. Now he claims that
he studied right, is it like that? Is that true? You said to the RV?
And he said, Yes, yeah. And may Allah reward you now, on behalf of
the family, and on behalf of the tribe. Now, the reason Brooks also
did this was to teach people a lesson. So he gave them now and
now see how it comes in. And he said to them, that my example and
the example of my encounter with this bedroom in this example of my
encounter is just like a person who has a camera, who owns a
camera, who is acting erratically. And vice versa, it's kind of gone
off on one of those
cameras do have that propensity, sometimes to do that. They can be
very stylish, most of the time they find, but in those rare
occasions when they then they become Nobodies, right. So if
somebody liked that happen, people followed it up, people follow that
camel, he's using the example of a camel, and by them following the
camel, it only makes that camel more wild and not to run. It's not
helpful to go and follow that camel and try to bring it back in
this case. So then the owner of the camel turns to them and says
that, Look, you guys leave it, I know what this company is all
about. I've got a special relationship with discount. If
there's anybody that can deal with this company Tell me.
So he tells them to step aside. He goes, speaks to it, convinces it
brings it back, ties it up. And now he's able to get on it, and
it's back to normal.
And the progress of awesome said that you are just like this, if I
had left him alone, you guys would have killed him.
But that's why I did what I did. And what he did was actually gave
him extra sometimes you have to give love, you have to give
something extra to try to calm them down. You mustn't think that
AI gave them the right. And they still angry like sometimes giving
them more is the answer. And we learn this from the process.
Now to finish off, I'm just going to mention one more incidence.
However, actually, one I'm going to mention one more story. But
there are two places that if you want to see the clemency and the
forbearance of various other lawyers, then you can't get a
better example than two examples. One is the example of the conquest
of Makkah. Remember, this is a place that they've been chased
out. Persecuted, numerous people killed battle ensuing afterwards.
The main people behind those battles I wish him his his
wife, who had chewed on the liver of the uncle of the grace of Osama
Hamza, the Allah one. The process of when entering macam Cara who
could do this he says that anybody who enters into a Luciferians
house it becomes a sanctuary.
And then those people become Muslim both and later him and
says, a woman says that your family your household was the
worst in our set, today becomes the most beloved in our sights,
acts of kindness do now they do have a take away. That is one
example. I'm going to go into that because those stories about the
Congress of Makkah are well known. So I don't like to repeat my I
don't like to repeat it and boy, but you can think about explains
number two, the other incident which is important is of the
biggest troublemaker during the time of the medina period. You
know, who is Abdullah if not obeyed, in cellula. He was tipped
to be the next leader of Madina, Munawwara and the prophesizing
came in all the awesome husbands became Muslim. His hopes were
dashed, his ambitions went down the drain. And that created huge
rank war and resentment. And he would do everything to sabotage.
What he did, in the Battle of
it was during the Battle of Ohio, there was already less people
compared to the non Muslim army.
He went along with his manava, in his hypocrites, and
before they could reach them, he demoralize the army by retreating
with his group, which are about 1/3 of the army. How would you
feel? How would you feel if you were going if you have this many
men, which was less to start with, and then suddenly 1/3 of your army
deserts you see, you would sabotage like that another one.
During the Battle of blue study.
He mentioned a statement he says that when we go back in a call
indirectly, he says when we go back with the honorable among us
are going to evict the despicable among us, and he meant the
province of Luxembourg, as
his son even took
offense to that because his son was a true believer. Now, while he
supported his father, as a father, when he said this, he himself went
and confronted his father, he says, You must take this word
back. That's the kind of stuff you would do. But that same son when
his father died, and also another thing that his father was
responsible for, you know, the story of if, when Anisha the alarm
slammed, as having committed Zina, and that cause so much trouble to
the entire family and the owner was sinning until numerous verses
came down to exonerate her which worked out well for in hindsight,
but it was Abdullah, babe in saloon who did this, who, who was
one of the main guys in spreading those rumors, despite all of that
there's so many other stories. But despite that, when he died, and
his son came to the voice of Iceland to say, can you pray on my
father, and he was a monarchy, which turned out to be he was
expressing faith, so you can't call him a caliphate. Though
inside, they all knew that. He was not a believer.
Not only that, he asked the professor lorrison for a garment
of his that he could put into the grave of his father. And the
process of gave it to him, would you give it to somebody? Would you
give something like that?
Why would the person do that? To be honest, he had nothing to lose.
Everything was in the hands of Allah and he knew that. Were too
possessive. We're too greedy. We too resentful. This is our problem
that clemency isn't there. And he went to prey on Omar on the Allahu
Anhu protested, he says you can't pray led to suddenly, you can't
pray or what have you. That person said, I'm gonna pray.
He went and pray then the verses came down.
Do not pray right over them. Don't even stand by the graves. A
question that arises that why did the first come lately? Why did we
first come before it came actually in confirming to all the while
what are the lungs? But probably I wasn't prayed and then the command
came down. Why? Because when the Romans had said it, I'm gonna pray
Allah. So I said, Okay, let him pray them and do love to us. That
is just the love between them. This is just this amazing thing.
And finally, my final story.
After the conquest of Makkah,
most people were forgiven. There was a general amnesty. Right. As
you know, if Sophia is forgiven and people entering his house are
safe then imagine, but there were a few EMR people who were active
in their opposition. Right, who were active, and a lot of them are
poets, or a lot of them are critic critics. One of them
does any of you notice that Jackie? The poetry people enroll
things and
so Haley was Suleman. These are some of the greatest of the poets
of the giant the Titanic they
It was just amazing. All right. Now this particular one is so
Haley was so my two sons. They're both points as well.
One of them, Kara
booj did was when he became Muslim, he was with the Bronx
alongside his brother Gabby personae.
Okay. He would criticize a boxer boxer in person has never seen him
he'd never seen the Bronx.
But he would criticize.
What happened then, is that
when Marco was overcome, everything was in the hands of the
Muslims now. So some of these individuals they went, they ran a
foreign wire because they don't want to be caught.
The Muslim brother booj wrote to his brother say, look, the
province of Orissa is a very compassionate individual. If you
ask for forgiveness, you will be forgiven. But there was too much
resentment, his brother wrote back to me boy, I'm not going to go
through those points. That no How can I, you know, there's no way
that I'm going to be able to do that this time, the other but
eventually he discovered that he was alone. There was nobody who
supported his friends whenever they were gone, finished. Even
people like a Bucha had some equity, but even obj had become
Muslim. How did we win either become Muslim, Abu Sofia and
become Muslim America as the alarm become Muslim. All of these people
have become Muslim. He was left all alone. Finally, he comes to
Madina Munawwara. And he goes from to somebody in the Johanna tribe,
who was a friend of his, he went to him in the morning, and he
said,
will the profits or losses, forgive me?
And his brother told us him the same thing he will you will be
forgiven. So he says, Okay, fine, fine, pointing out into a special
title. The person pointed out the process allows them to process and
doesn't know who he is. He goes to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, and
he stood up to the boys
that he sat down by him. He took all the prophets of Allah Santana,
remember, the President doesn't know who he is, like he's never
seen him before.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam. Now he says to the voice of
the Lord Salam that you know, God, because obey that critic. He's he
wants to he's come to ask you for to ask you for safety. And he's
come repenting and to become Muslim.
Would you accept him? This just some stranger in Brazil, as I'm
asking him about cogniser Hey, and he says, If I bring him along,
would you forgive him? And would you accept him? So the voice that
Allah has ever said,
of course, so then he says, I am cognizant Hey,
what a state immediately
if not, his heart relates one of the unsoldered quickly got up and
he said, Guess what, Allah leave me to this enemy of Allah. And I
will take care of here.
One of the unsolved
none of them are hygiene said anything but the answer's no.
Then Cargill produces this beautiful poem
is called balance. So it's one of the classics of the Arabic

The last few lines that are relevant. The messenger is a
light, a source of light, an Indian blade, a drawn sword of
God's swords. The best swords in those days came from India. Right
the subcontinent the maximum right? Among courageous companions
when they chose Islamic Mecca is veiled men said Be gone, they went
not weakening, not weak links, not as men that Lee swaying upon their
mouths and podium, but heroes proud and a little bit of mean
bright cloud in May of David's V for the encounter. As soon as he
finished this, as soon as he finished his poem, poems are very
effective if only we could understand what they mean. The
prophets of Allah Islam took off his mantra, his Bulldog, his
mantle, his his tunic, as he put it over his shoulders in
appreciation. This is an enemy it gives him now you know what the
most wonderful thing about this is? Then the promise that allows
him to be part of this world. This guardedness of Hades around as a
Muslim and he's got this border. Right, which is obviously a very
ended possession. While you have your loved one becomes the honey.
He offers him 10,000 homes friends, he refuses when he dies,
mortgage and he offers his his inheritance is children wherever
they were 20,000. Now they started turning. Thus this tunic, this
this border, this mantra, it comes down among the leaders of the
Muslim mean, you know where it is today, it's in the Topkapi Palace.
In Turkey.
You can't see it when you go there, you can see everything
else. But you can't see that it's in that special room, where for
several 100 years, while the Ottoman Caliphate was in power,
they had 24 hours, somebody reciting Quran in that moment,
basically, this mantle is in a number of layers of cloth in a
very specially crafted, designed and adorn box, which is in a
larger chamber and that's in a room. The only time they open this
is like on some special nights. For very special people, suddenly,
you can go and see more. There's a picture of it like you can see a
full picture of it probably online, you can find it. But it's
in a book called The sacred relics, we've got a nice picture,
it's like this, cut the material this like rough, brown material
with a lining. And this is beautiful thing, I would love to
just be able to see that because I have some ideas of what I can do
with this. Right? But recently are the one went to see it as a video
of him put up in the list just off the cuff, and it's in there. But
the Ottomans they respect it's kind of stuff so much that for
their rule, there's several 100 years of rule and they were the
longest reigning dynasty in the world in history of the world, not
just Muslims, but generally, they had somebody reciting Quran for 24
hours a day nothing. And even though you get a lot of bulky or
they they think you get a lot of Baraka with this. Now they do it
for about 12 hours. So you still see somebody reciting life, right?
But that is down there, that is that same will love wine, and that
is the same balance was the one that was with abundance. So this
basically tells you that Prophet sallallahu Sallam His dealing with
friends, is dealing with his servants is dealing with his wife,
and he's dealing with his enemies. I'm sure we can learn usually from
this. These things are nice to know. But they only become useful
when they become a trait. That's why people like him, who would say
that it's very easy to give a lot of talk about
helping the poor, but when you actually see a poor person, are
you able to act the act? It's easy to give money, but can you
actually deal with poor people and make them feel comfortable?
Likewise, we can hear about forbearance and tenancy and all
the rest of it. And of course, it's only by listening to more of
this that we will inshallah be inspired and learn from this. But
may Allah subhanho wa Taala grant a central peak, because we need to
really show a lot more of this to counter some other narratives that
are out there. May Allah grant us the ability to do this while for
the Dawa in Hungary
