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.
Your best friend
will run away from you
on the day of resurrection.
Your best friend
that you defend today
unjustly in this dunya,
will run away from you in the hereafter.
What am I alluding to my brothers and
my sisters?
Do not sow your hereafter
for a moment of sweetness.
You might be sometimes in a situation
where
you have to give a false testimony
just so you can defend
your close ones.
Your friends who supposedly ride and die for
you,
they depend they defend you upon falsehood.
My brothers and my sisters,
justice
and fairness
is something that is Aziz,
that really really raises a person.
The Messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam,
he told us in the hadith of And
this is a very beautiful example of
being somebody who's a somebody
who's brave
and you need bravery in many different aspects
of your life
especially if you start giving dua.
And sometimes it might be so that
you have to testify against your own parents.
And I'm not just speaking about testifying in
the courts,
but rather what I'm referring to is sometimes
you have to say what is right and
what is wrong,
and who is right and who is wrong.
And loyalty start being mentioned.
Your loyalty start becoming questioned.
So what are you going to do?
Look at this hadith my brothers and my
sisters Abu Sa'id and Hudri
He said,
Don't let the fear you have of people
prevent you from speaking the truth
whenever you witness it, whenever you see it
and whenever you hear it.
The narrator states that
when Abu Sayed and Khudid and Noble companion
heard this he started crying
crying crying
says the Ra'ina Ashiya
There is things that we saw
that were wrong
but because of fear,
we didn't say anything.
Look at that my brothers and my sisters.
In in another narration we are told that
Abu Sayyid Al
Khudri said,
I wish that I never
had that.
Because he knows now that this is something
that is very difficult on the nafs,
on the soul,
speaking out against others.
This is why
The haqq, the truth is very heavy
and its students
are only a few.
SubhanAllah Alawim
Also my brothers and my sisters, Ibn Qudama,
he mentioned
The reason why
those before you were destroyed is because
they feared the blame of the blameless,
And they began to chase after the praise
of others.
Fasarat
haraka to whom they rip on Nas.
Their movements
and whatever they did was just in accordance
to pleasing the people.
When calling to Allah, my brothers and my
sisters, it requires
bravery
and you're going to be spoken about
This is something that La Shaka walaraybafi
If you're calling to the truth
the Sheikh of Amashar Mukbili used to say,
The one who wants to aid the truth,
it is a must that they must speak
about him. And he used to say that
if
you want to be from those
who called to Allah, but you don't want
to be spoken about,
go home and hide under your blanket. He
said this to the prophet, there's not a
person who came with what you came with,
except that he was harmed.
And when I say Dawah my brothers, I'm
not just speaking about it being on a
big scale,
but rather even sometimes to your parents,
to your loved ones
and those who are closest to you are
always the most
to unappreciate
you. When Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
sent Musa and his brother Harun
to Firaun.
What was the advice, the instructions that Allah
gave to
Musa
and his brother?
When you go to him, speak to him
in a gentle way.
