Whoever is not well mannered

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

in his relationship with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,

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

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will patch him up,

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

will deal with him under the earth.

00:00:11 --> 00:00:12

2 traits

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

that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala truly loves.

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

Messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said to Ashaj

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

Abdul Qais

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

Indeed you, O Ashaj,

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

you have 2 traits

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

that Allah

00:00:33 --> 00:00:34

truly loves.

00:00:38 --> 00:00:39

So what are these 2

00:00:40 --> 00:00:41

beautiful traits that Allah

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

loves?

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

First one is al hilm.

00:00:47 --> 00:00:48

It is

00:00:51 --> 00:00:53

It is to have control

00:00:53 --> 00:00:54

over yourself

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

when you become infuriated

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

When you are angered,

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

you're not quick to punish.

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

That reminds me of a hadith when the

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said,

00:01:24 --> 00:01:26

Whoever holds back his anger even though he's

00:01:26 --> 00:01:28

able to let it all out

00:01:31 --> 00:01:34

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will call him out

00:01:35 --> 00:01:37

in front of everyone on the day of

00:01:37 --> 00:01:38

judgment,

00:01:39 --> 00:01:41

and he will give him the opportunity

00:01:41 --> 00:01:44

to choose from whoever he wants from the

00:01:44 --> 00:01:45

women of Al Jannah.

00:01:46 --> 00:01:48

So holding yourself,

00:01:48 --> 00:01:49

controlling it

00:01:50 --> 00:01:51

is al Hill

00:01:52 --> 00:01:54

Sometimes we become very very infuriated and we

00:01:54 --> 00:01:56

say things that we

00:01:56 --> 00:01:58

end up regretting later on.

00:02:00 --> 00:02:02

Second thing my brothers and my sisters is

00:02:02 --> 00:02:03

Al Anah.

00:02:04 --> 00:02:05

Al Anah my brothers and my sisters is

00:02:05 --> 00:02:07

to take things slowly,

00:02:07 --> 00:02:09

to think about the decisions that we make.

00:02:11 --> 00:02:12

Not to rush

00:02:14 --> 00:02:15

and to jump on something that we have

00:02:15 --> 00:02:16

had.

00:02:18 --> 00:02:20

This brings me to a point, and that

00:02:20 --> 00:02:21

is

00:02:22 --> 00:02:22

something that

00:02:26 --> 00:02:27

mentioned.

00:02:28 --> 00:02:28

He said,

00:02:36 --> 00:02:38

Do not be individuals who are hasty,

00:02:40 --> 00:02:42

who rush to doing everything that they

00:02:43 --> 00:02:43

hear about.

00:02:45 --> 00:02:46

Do not be madaiyah.

00:02:46 --> 00:02:48

What does madaiyah mean?

00:02:50 --> 00:02:52

The moment they hear about something, they begin

00:02:52 --> 00:02:53

to announce it.

00:02:54 --> 00:02:57

And this could be anything related to public

00:02:57 --> 00:02:58

safety and public fear.

00:03:00 --> 00:03:02

Abdullahi Mas'ud is saying do not be hasty,

00:03:02 --> 00:03:03

do not rush,

00:03:04 --> 00:03:07

do not be madaiyah, people who announce these

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

things,

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

that sometimes it might require an old head,

00:03:11 --> 00:03:12

somebody with wisdom,

00:03:14 --> 00:03:16

someone who has a lot of experience to

00:03:16 --> 00:03:17

maybe

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

deal with.

00:03:20 --> 00:03:21

And then he said

00:03:23 --> 00:03:25

do not be individuals who, when they're told

00:03:25 --> 00:03:26

a secret, they go and spread it to

00:03:26 --> 00:03:27

others,

00:03:28 --> 00:03:30

but rather think about your decisions.

00:03:31 --> 00:03:33

And we've all had our regrets

00:03:33 --> 00:03:35

of having made decisions very very quickly

00:03:36 --> 00:03:39

that maybe thinking back on we wish we

00:03:39 --> 00:03:39

didn't

00:03:40 --> 00:03:42

and the Messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam told

00:03:42 --> 00:03:43

us

00:03:47 --> 00:03:48

Hastiness is from the shaitan

00:03:49 --> 00:03:50

and an

00:03:50 --> 00:03:52

ana is from Allah Subhanahu

00:03:53 --> 00:03:54

Wa Ta'ala.

00:03:55 --> 00:03:56

My brothers and my sisters,

00:03:57 --> 00:03:59

and we tend to see this all the

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

time on social media,

00:04:01 --> 00:04:02

We tend to jump

00:04:03 --> 00:04:06

on any one-sided claim that is made,

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

and the Sharia is so beautiful and it's

00:04:09 --> 00:04:10

so fair.

00:04:11 --> 00:04:14

Look what the Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam taught

00:04:14 --> 00:04:15

Alib Nabi Talib.

00:04:21 --> 00:04:23

If they if 2 people come to and

00:04:23 --> 00:04:24

they seek your judgement,

00:04:25 --> 00:04:27

do not rush to taking any of their

00:04:27 --> 00:04:28

sides.

00:04:31 --> 00:04:32

And if you learn not to do so,

00:04:35 --> 00:04:36

you will know

00:04:36 --> 00:04:38

how to judge accordingly. So Ali ibn Abi

00:04:38 --> 00:04:40

Talibi said I

00:04:42 --> 00:04:45

remain judging in such a way. There's always

00:04:45 --> 00:04:47

two sides to a story,

00:04:48 --> 00:04:49

and sometimes emotion

00:04:51 --> 00:04:52

overtakes us.

00:04:52 --> 00:04:53

We hear something

00:04:55 --> 00:04:57

and it hits us really hard,

00:04:58 --> 00:05:01

but we forget that there's always two sides

00:05:01 --> 00:05:03

to a story. Even if that individual is

00:05:03 --> 00:05:06

somebody who you truly love, there's always two

00:05:06 --> 00:05:07

sides to a story. I remember my dad

00:05:08 --> 00:05:09

said to me many many years ago,

00:05:10 --> 00:05:11

when I was young.

00:05:12 --> 00:05:14

He said, if somebody comes to you and

00:05:14 --> 00:05:15

his eye is poking out

00:05:16 --> 00:05:18

and he's covered with blood, do not rush

00:05:18 --> 00:05:19

to taking

00:05:19 --> 00:05:21

his side. Because you don't know.

00:05:22 --> 00:05:24

It could have been him who had that

00:05:24 --> 00:05:24

last blow

00:05:25 --> 00:05:26

in having killed somebody.

00:05:28 --> 00:05:31

Before he turned out in such a way,

00:05:32 --> 00:05:33

he could have just murdered somebody,

00:05:34 --> 00:05:36

even though he has blood covered

00:05:37 --> 00:05:38

on him.

00:05:39 --> 00:05:41

It's important to take things easy. The prophet

00:05:41 --> 00:05:42

also told us

00:05:53 --> 00:05:54

If everybody was to be given,

00:05:55 --> 00:05:57

everything that they claimed,

00:05:58 --> 00:06:00

they would claim the wealth of others and

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

the lives of others.

00:06:02 --> 00:06:04

So and so took my money. They was

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

the proof. This is why the prophet said

00:06:08 --> 00:06:09

The one who makes the claim he has

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

to bring forth proof.

00:06:11 --> 00:06:13

And last but not least the hadith of

00:06:13 --> 00:06:14

Abdulai ibn Zubair

00:06:15 --> 00:06:15

he said

00:06:20 --> 00:06:22

Muhammad decreed that

00:06:22 --> 00:06:25

the defendant and the claimant they both have

00:06:25 --> 00:06:26

to go and sit in front of the

00:06:26 --> 00:06:27

judge.

00:06:29 --> 00:06:32

So both sides are heard out fairly and

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

justly,

00:06:33 --> 00:06:36

because there's always two sides to a story.

00:06:36 --> 00:06:38

My brothers and my sisters,

00:06:38 --> 00:06:39

this is the end

00:06:40 --> 00:06:41

of our series.

00:06:41 --> 00:06:44

There's so many more etiquettes

00:06:45 --> 00:06:47

and bad traits that I wanted to mention,

00:06:49 --> 00:06:52

But because of time, because of resources and

00:06:52 --> 00:06:53

things like that,

00:06:54 --> 00:06:55

we can't go through all of that.

00:06:56 --> 00:06:58

But what I can advise you with, if

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

this really interested you, is to go on

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

to the knowledge college

00:07:03 --> 00:07:04

portal and sign

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

up, where you can go through a whole

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

poetry

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

that I explained called mandoma to ahsanil akhlaq,

00:07:11 --> 00:07:13

the poetry of the best of etiquettes,

00:07:14 --> 00:07:17

where maybe over 50 traits were mentioned

00:07:17 --> 00:07:18

that could, insha'Allah,

00:07:19 --> 00:07:20

my brothers and my sisters,

00:07:21 --> 00:07:22

really

00:07:22 --> 00:07:24

improve us as Muslims

00:07:24 --> 00:07:26

and you can access this insha'Allah

00:07:26 --> 00:07:28

in the link below.

00:07:28 --> 00:07:31

May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala adorn us all

00:07:32 --> 00:07:33

with the best of etiquettes.

00:07:43 --> 00:07:44

Prophet Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam used to

00:07:44 --> 00:07:47

say, oh Allah grant our souls a taqwa

00:07:48 --> 00:07:50

purified indeed you are the best of those

00:07:50 --> 00:07:51

who purify.

00:07:51 --> 00:07:53

You are His protector and You are His

00:07:53 --> 00:07:53

guardian.

00:07:54 --> 00:07:56

He also used to make the dua Allahumma

00:07:56 --> 00:07:58

kamaa hasanta khanki

00:07:58 --> 00:07:59

fahhasin khuluqi

00:08:00 --> 00:08:02

Oh Allah, just as you perfected my outer

00:08:02 --> 00:08:02

appearance,

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

then also

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

perfect

00:08:06 --> 00:08:09

my etiquettes. If this is the Messenger Sallallahu

00:08:09 --> 00:08:10

Alaihi Wasallam saying this,

00:08:10 --> 00:08:13

the one who Allah said in Suratul Qalam

00:08:16 --> 00:08:18

You, oh Muhammad, you have the best of

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

characteristics,

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

the best of manners.

00:08:20 --> 00:08:23

And where do me and you lie?
