Abu Taymiyyah – Part 1 Manners101 The Sky Is The Limit WATCH IN HD

Whoever is not well mannered

in his relationship with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will patch him up.

Will deal with him under the earth.

My brothers and my sisters,

in this series we're going to be going

through

traits

that allow a person to become

from the best of those

that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has placed

on the face of his Earth.

The poet he says

To proceed,

what we're going to be going through is

the best of the manners.

And through that,

one will rise high, high above.

What is he referring to?

The statement of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa

sallam when he said

The believer,

because of his excellent manners

he reaches the same level as one who

stands up in the night

praying to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

And we know how difficult that is my

brothers and my sisters

to wake up before Fajar

and then to engage

in an Ibadah

an act of worship

that Allah Subhanahu

Wa Ta'ala

has only chosen for a few.

And then the messian sallallahu alaihi wa sallam

said,

waslaim.

And also the one who

continuously,

superrogatory,

voluntarily

fasts.

Again, it's one of those acts of worship,

my brothers and my sisters,

that is so difficult to do.

But because of something small,

which is

to have good manners,

something that doesn't ask us to do much,

we can reach the same level of all

of these individuals

who are doing so many difficult good deeds,

acts of worship.

My brothers and my sisters,

how difficult is it to smile in somebody's

face?

The messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam he said,

tabassumuka

fiwajhi akhika sadaka.

To smile in the face of your brother

is a form of charity.

In another narration, we are told,

You can't please all the people with

your wealth.

But what you can do is

please them with having a pleasant face,

and also by showing good manners when dealing

with them.

Something so small, my brothers and my sisters,

but it could surely determine

as to whether we get into Al Jannah

or not.

Something that we really belittle,

but it could be

something that

is so so immense,

so profound.

Look what the messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam

said

said: do not belittle any good deed

even if it means to meet your brother

with a pleasant face.

Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he also told us

about good manners.

There isn't anything

that is more heavy on the scale of

good deeds than having good manners.

So what does good manners, my brothers and

my sisters, actually mean?

The scholars, they mentioned many different definitions,

but I'm going to mention 2 of

them. And the explainer of Balohar Maram, Sheikh

Abdul Fozan,

who called

his explanation minhatul aalam he said that the

best definition

for Husnu Al Khuluq for good etiquettes

is

and to aamilanasa

bemidlima

tohibu and you aamilukabihi.

It is to treat the people

the same way you like to be treated.

You wouldn't wanna wake up in the morning

while you are on a rush to your

work, as soon as you leave your house,

there is people who are meeting you with

grumpy

faces,

throwing abuse at you. I'm sure my brothers

and my sisters, nobody would like this.

So

as you wouldn't like it, don't treat the

people in such a way.

I believe, my brothers and my sisters, in

something called what goes around comes around.

And our sharia

speaks about this

in many ways

and forms,

But this is, inshallah,

maybe something we're going to discuss

in another episode.

So treat the people the same way you

like to be treated. Abdullah ibn Mubarak,

he mentioned a definition as

which doesn't contradict the first, the great Imam

who was from the Tabi'in,

those who met the companions.

When he was asked to describe

Hishn Al Khulok, good etiquettes,

he said,

It is to show

a pleasant face

and to also spread goodness

and to also remove harm.

And I'm sure, my brothers and my sisters,

we would love that for ourselves.

So it only makes sense that we treat

the people in such a way.

The kuffar

have better manners than the Muslims.

The kuffar,

the disbelievers, the non Muslims,

they have better manners

than the Muslims.
