00:00:01 --> 00:00:04
			Brothers and sisters in Islam, what is the
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			relationship between charity and the Quran?
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			Ibn Abbas radiallahu anhu narrated and he said,
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:12
			can Nabi sallallahu alaihi wasallam
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			was the most generous when it came to
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19
			good. So that's not only with his wealth,
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:22
			but with his time, with his advice, with
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			his knowledge and so many things. He was
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			so generous salallahu alayhi wasalam.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27
			Then Ibn
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:30
			Abbas
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:32
			said
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:39
			and during Ramadan he was the most generous,
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:42
			especially when Jibril would meet up with him
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:46
			and revise and review the Quran with him.
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:46
			And
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			as a result Nabi
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			generosity
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:59
			was a lot more than the strong uncontrollable
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:00
			wind.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			Now I want you to pay attention to
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			the middle part of this hadith where Abin
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05
			Abba
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:09
			says he used to that Nabi was
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:10
			most
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:11
			generous
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15
			when Jibril would recite the Quran and review
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			the Quran with him. Do you see a
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			relationship here?
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			The more you read Quran, the more you
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			ponder over the Quran
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			and the more you contemplate the Quran and
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			practice it in your life,
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			the more and more you will give
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:33
			and giving from that which you have is
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			a detachment from this worldly life.
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			When you when you become generous with your
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			wealth and with materialistic
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:41
			matters,
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			you are slowly and slowly detaching from this
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:46
			worldly life,
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			and if you detach from this worldly life
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			you are coming closer and closer to the
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:52
			afterlife
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			and that is the reality of the Quran.
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:57
			The Quran
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			within this book Allah
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			talks to us about the afterlife,
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:04
			about the reward in the paradise, about the
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			reward that is with Allah
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			and so whoever is being affected by the
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			Quran,
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:13
			he will find himself withdrawing from this worldly
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			life, detaching from it by giving,
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			and he is coming closer and closer to
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:21
			the realities of the Quran to the afterlife
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			and that which is with Allah
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			And there is no doubt that in support
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			of what I have just said to Allah,
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:30
			Azzawajal, said in the Quran
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:39
			Allah
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			He said indeed We gave you
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:47
			7 ayat that are repeated and recited often
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:48
			and that is Surat al Fatiha.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			And we gave you this huge Quran this
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			mighty noble Quran
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:55
			then Allah
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:58
			immediately after that He said do not extend
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			your eyes to that which we have given
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:03
			them of worldly luxuries and pleasures.
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			Why? Because you have been given something much
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:09
			greater, you have been given the Quran, the
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			one who is attached to the Quran and
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:12
			the message of the Quran,
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			his eyes
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			begins to be, he will lower his gaze
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:18
			from the joys of this worldly life and
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:21
			its luxuries, even though it's permissible to enjoy
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			them, but your heart will no longer be
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			attached with them. When you are called to
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:27
			give and be generous, you will give in
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:28
			the blink of an eye because that is
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			what is pleasing to Allah. We ask Allah
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:31
			to accept
