00:00:01--> 00:00:25

Eva, Leung ma What do Lashley Kara what I should do Anna Mohammed Abdullah, who are also Lu Salatu was Salam Walid Sleeman Kathira Amma Babu come to a tremendous Hadith from the Muscat de Ven Naboo at the Prophet sallallahu Sallam spoke about in regards to the Islamic personality,

00:00:26--> 00:00:33

a hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu it was setting them that is worthy of everybody's attention because

00:00:34--> 00:01:05

it is warning and raising awareness as released to an issue that is destructive. He says Allah Allahu alayhi wa ala it was sending them mad ban, J e i n o Lucila Fiera Hanuman, be upset Allaha Minh Harrelson mark, and a man was shut off the dini. Tremendous Hadith from the statements of the newbies of Allah when he was setting.

00:01:06--> 00:01:19

He said in his eloquence that two hungry ravenous wolves. If you can imagine two wolves, full grown wolves that go out and hunt

00:01:20--> 00:01:29

to ravenous hungry wolves, that have been set free and set loose, and defenseless sheep.

00:01:31--> 00:01:41

He said that the damage that those two wolves would do to those sheep will not be more than the damage that a person does to his religion.

00:01:42--> 00:01:46

If he's trying to get money, or if he's trying to get fame.

00:01:48--> 00:01:57

Again, the Hadith of the NABI SallAllahu sallam said, to hungry, ravenous sheep that are hungry,

00:01:58--> 00:02:04

if you set them free, and a place that contain defenseless sheep,

00:02:05--> 00:02:36

the sheep and this little area right here, the two hungry wolves come in there. He said that the damage that these two wolves would do to those defenseless sheep. They won't be more than the damage that will happen to a man who if all he's looking for is getting money, or he's trying to get shut off, he's trying to get positioned. So it goes to show that the individual who is golden his objective is to get money by hook or crook not by Halal

00:02:37--> 00:03:06

he wants to get money by hook or crook the Prophet describe the time and he says some of the law while he will either it was selling them yet T I'm a nurse, the man law you barely murder men 18 Other a minute hang a minute haram. The day is going to come there will be a time when a person won't care. Where did he get his money from? Did he get it from the sources that were halal or haram.

00:03:07--> 00:03:42

So he's a practicing Muslim. He's not necessarily a bad person, but he'll have a store and he'll sell a Hummer. And he doesn't care. He doesn't care. The individual is not necessarily a bad person. But every time they go to the local store, they buy lottery tickets. Someone dies from the relatives back home and they left land to be distributed. They left the mirror off the inheritance of the deceased. The eldest brother, the eldest sister, the youngest sister was most beloved to the

00:03:42--> 00:04:05

deceased, whatever the case is, people are going to steal money from orphans, even they'll steal the land and the property of their families. These are things that go on the city of Liverpool in the city of Birmingham on a daily basis where we come from, right now, people, they have bad relationships with their relatives over the dunya over money, because a person doesn't care.

00:04:07--> 00:04:25

A person will go into some of these local stores up and down Coventry road, and they put in a box, an empty box for sadaqa. And they have pictures on the boxes that the money is going to go to Syria or Iraq or here or there to Yemen and the guy is stealing the money.

00:04:27--> 00:04:30

All of that money is going into his pocket all of it.

00:04:32--> 00:04:50

Well, hello Moogerah This is how it is. The person is responsible for the money of the messaging. They are responsible for counting the money on Friday, and having transparency and letting people know how much they msgid has made. Every Friday they are stealing the money.

00:04:52--> 00:04:59

So the Prophet says Allah Allah who it was it was sending them. These two things will harm and individuals his

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

Dean, the fact that you want shut off and the fact that a person wants money big problem. So when he mentioned he had someone like it was setting them as what's called Double Antheil he gave a similar tool and similar as similar as similar as similarly, when he mentioned something is like something else. In order for a person to get an idea what is he talking about? SallAllahu it was set it up. We have about 30 of these in the Quran 30 of them. As for the Sunnah, there are many in the Sunnah of

00:05:33--> 00:05:56

the Prophet sallallahu when he was setting up, he mentioned Yeah, you had nice duty by methylome for STEMI ruler who in the Latina Tarun I'm in Dooney now he lying Yeah, hello, Boo Baba. Oh, you believe Oh, mankind, a simile has been given to you. So listen to it. Those people who worship other than Allah.

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

Those people who worship other than Allah, those things that they worship cannot create a fly. And if the fly were to snatch something away from them, never would they be able to get what the flag took from them or the fly itself. So what they worship is weak, just like the fly is weak. That's an example. A person who worships a seven or Maria worships the sun, the moon, whatever he worships. Whatever is being worshipped cannot create a flight. So why worship him? That's a method many of

00:06:32--> 00:06:41

them in the Quran at least 3030 that Allah revealed in his book subhanho wa Taala what Daraa Allahu Mithuna

00:06:42--> 00:07:18

Kenny Matan TV button because sheduled tight Viva Allah has given a simile. The good word is like the good tree. So we have a number of it at the point here. One is these unfound they were giving so that people can understand a point and issue in a way that leaves no ambiguity, no ambiguity. So one of the benefits of the foul be similes in the Quran and the Sunnah, is so that people can learn so Allah mentioned a number of eyes that were typically in thought on adorable helenus Lonely a

00:07:18--> 00:07:26

difficult rune. We gave these summaries in the hope that people will think and ponder

00:07:27--> 00:07:55

So what Allah mentioned in the Quran, we're Telkom five on the dutiable, Hana nurse, where my yah hoo ha il Ali moon. These are the similes and the examples that we gave, no one will accept understand them except people who have knowledge. So you have one of the settings based upon that is who will say after crying. This is shows and I'm not from during that month because Allah said the ones who understand the unfound the simile are the ones who have knowledge. So he said I'm not from

00:07:55--> 00:08:01

the dilemma. I'm not from those who know because I didn't understand this particular method from the infallible Quran.

00:08:03--> 00:08:18

Another issue of 20 behind these unfound is that they were a test for the disbelievers for the monastic calling the hypocrites. Allahu Taala mentioned in surah to the Bacara that he's not afraid he's not shy in Allah Allah you're stating and yet durable method and Magoo.

00:08:21--> 00:08:55

Allah is now shy reluctant to give a similarly one of these examples concerning a net or what is bigger than the net? Allah doesn't he does not shy from that. He said for a Medina am and will for ya allah Munna and no whom have come in rugby him. As for those people who believe they know that this simile is from the Lord. Well, I'm alleging a careful rule for your Toluna mother around Allah Who behind the Mithila as for those who disbelieve, they say, why is ALLAH given this example? Why

00:08:55--> 00:09:25

is Allah telling us the story of the Nebby that was in the stomach of the whale, and he went in the ocean, darkness upon darkness upon darkness, now, most of it what is that story for? So the benefit of the unfound is for people to understand, and also as a child as a test, you have belief that you know, it comes from the Quran, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, so we have to give it the program. Once again at 20. I want to bring you back to the illustration because we want your mind to

00:09:25--> 00:09:59

see this especially you young brothers. Right here, there are a bunch of white sheep 30 of them 30 white sheep, you take to full grown hungry wolves, not baby wolves big ones. You let them go inside of that place. After those wolves get finish when you look at the situation. There's going to be carnage. There's going to be pandemonium. There's going to be destruction in that thing. The wolves are gonna go they're gonna bite this one till he's dying these dead. Eat that one into

00:10:00--> 00:10:23

He's dead. He does want to rip his head off, he is over, he's gonna rip his legs off, down over there, he's gonna rip his intestines off. You're gonna look at this situation and say, Wow, a lot of devastation took place here. So you can imagine the picture. The wolves are going to be all over the place. And those wolves that the sheep will be all over the place dead, devoured, ate up.

00:10:26--> 00:11:02

That destruction that you can imagine, is not worse than the destruction on a person's Dean. If all he wants to do is get money by hook or crook for our young brothers, he gets money how he goes into his father's personal money stash, and he steals his money, goes into his mother's bag, steals the money goes to visit the neighbor and he finds money pound here five pounds, dear 10 pounds, they're 20 pounds there and steal the money from the neighbor. So this hadith is talking about and also as

00:11:02--> 00:11:07

shut off as shut off is a person trying to get position.

00:11:08--> 00:11:14

Trying to get position as a musket. It's a big problem. Trying to get position is a big problem.

00:11:16--> 00:11:33

A great scholar of Islam and Imam Sophia and authority Rahmatullahi to Allah and he mentioned to the people cinema to Allah to heaven to earth. If you want to be safe, then don't be a person who loves that people know who you are.

00:11:36--> 00:12:12

So there are some people in our measurements from our students. People don't know them. They don't know them. When the brother Mufti Munir comes to the UK, some of our students in this class become responsible for organizing brother Mufti Munez talks and lectures. As a result of that the students of this class will the people that know him prior to that, or know them prior to that, because now they get some position because all they're doing is organizing it, there are going to be problems.

00:12:13--> 00:12:43

If you're a person who's under the radar, and people don't know you, you should think aligns with gel. Thank Allah xuejun There was a man. Well, the Prophet sallallahu wasallam spoke about. And he's that arrogant man, who when he knocks on the door, before he knocks on the door, people open up the door for him. They'll invite him to the walima. They'll invite him to the RPF. They want to have his face up in the sauce, they want him in their homes. And then he says SallAllahu wasallam because

00:12:43--> 00:13:01

that man who when he knocks on the door, they don't open up the door for him. People don't invite him. People don't want to get to know him. He said about that guy who was under the radar that miskeen SallAllahu sallam said, He's better than 100 of those other guides because that other guy is arrogant.

00:13:02--> 00:13:14

Arrogant, be that person who people don't know who you are. And don't be that person who you want to see the people. You want the people to see you that you are somebody.

00:13:16--> 00:13:45

Because it's going to be a problem. That's the shut off in any shape, form or fashion. You can find a person is the nicest person in the world nicest person, you put them behind a desk. And when people come to get whatever they need from him from the desk, he's a problem. Because he's the moodier, he's the one who's in charge. He's the one who's writing the ticket for the person to attend the function. Once you give him a little rope, he wants to be a cowboy because now he has

00:13:45--> 00:14:21

that position. So I want to say to my Shabbat be of those people who are under the radar to the best of your ability be of those people. So what this hadith is talking about, Allah will tie that mentioned about yomo Qiyamah, the dal batelco dar, Hera, Niger Aloha leadin, Allah you read dune aloo and fill out they will have a sad will our people to live with the pin the houses of a Jana, the data of the Jana, it's for those people who don't want to be high in the earth. They don't want

00:14:21--> 00:14:27

a loo. Look at me, I'm this and I'm that. And that's not to say that if you become a doctor,

00:14:28--> 00:14:59

a medical doctor, or you get a PhD, that's not to say that, as your father, I won't be proud of you as your brother, I won't be proud of you as your teacher I won't be proud of you know, we're not encouraging you to be people who drop out of the dunya and drop out of the grace of of, of learning. And we always telling you guys you have to learn you have to get a degree. But don't be one of those people. Because you have PhD or you're a doctor you think you're better than other people. Don't be

00:14:59--> 00:15:00

like that. Be

00:15:00--> 00:15:30

One of those people who people don't know that you're a doctor until the situation presented itself. There's that guy who walks around like that doctor, someone he's like that and he wants everybody to know, or the tribe that he comes from. Whereas the Bedouin man will come into the masjid of the Prophet sallallahu wasallam and look around looking for the NABI sallallaahu. Selim and not see him and then be forced to go to the people and say, Where is Muhammad? Where's Muhammad? And the people

00:15:30--> 00:15:42

will say, you see that man over there laying down in the corner? That's him Salah who was salah, and he was as he said, about himself Sadia do Benny Adam. He is the master and the best of Adam's children.

00:15:43--> 00:16:01

There is no one better than him. You think of whatever rich people you want to think of in the dunya, whatever religious people you want to think of in the dunya, whatever good, decent people you want to think of powerful people, strong people. He is the master of Adam's children. And yet, he was over there. He's in the best place and agenda,

00:16:03--> 00:16:38

the carton of the NBN Russell, but if a stranger came in, he wouldn't know who he was. Not only that 20 But the Prophet SAW Selim in our religion, He prohibited things prohibited us from doing things, trying to be different from other people for an example, for an example, he told us don't wear the fold of shahada don't wear clothing that people know you buy that clothing. They see when that clothing they know you buy that clothing. You want to wear clothes, you fit in, you fit in under the

00:16:38--> 00:17:11

radar. Some man came and he said Yarrow, so Allah, make me a leader over my people. I want to be the Emir. I want to be the one in charge. He told them sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in LAN Wally among other men Salah and who are hurry sorry, we will not give the leadership to anybody who asked for it. Nor will we give it to anybody who's trying to get it. Because if someone wants to be the leader, it's going to be a problem.

00:17:13--> 00:17:23

A great companion Abu Bakr, Radi Allahu Anhu a believer was a czar hate he did not like this dunya and yet the Prophet told them sallallahu alayhi wa sallam yeah

00:17:24--> 00:17:34

if there are three people you want to three people do not become the Emir don't become the leader of just three people just three

00:17:36--> 00:17:38

because some people get a big head

00:17:39--> 00:18:15

a big head because they want to be over people. We want to be over people. So then the me benches Allah Allah who it was setting them in ACOEM so Tahiri sunnah Imara were in us at Hakuna Aleikum, the damaging yomo Qiyamah you people from my ummah, you are going to cover it and go after and tried to get positions of authority in any shape, form or fashion. He said those positions are going to come as a source of your sorrow your piano, it's going to be a source of sorrow to be questioned and

00:18:15--> 00:18:18

held accountable for people. It's a problem.

00:18:20--> 00:18:51

So we have to develop this particular issue in our personality and our character. If we look at the Companions, Ridwan Lee, I named him as you mine, you all get a big picture about who I will bucket is you get a big picture about who Remar is a big picture with man and Ali, get a big picture, people will we know you're never going to find any Hadith about the history where they were walking down the street with pride, not going to find it. You're going to find them being people who were

00:18:51--> 00:18:53

humble people used to cry.

00:18:54--> 00:19:03

People rub the Allah I know edge man who used to be in a race, where they were defeating everybody and trying to do good.

00:19:05--> 00:19:38

And that came from the terapy of Rasulullah, sallAllahu wasallam. Today, and I say this, and I say it clear and unequivocally today and the dollar to set a fee today. One of the biggest problems is Shahara. People want to be in control. People want to be in control. It's one of the biggest problems that Muslims have. And they're masajid. People want to run the show. And if they're not running the show, they're going to sabotage the efforts. They want to control the money, they want

00:19:38--> 00:19:59

to control who's listened to, they want to control what books have bought, what books are sold, they want to control what site to see what site not to see. I mean, how can the share, save and be a bit if you don't bring him down? I'm going to bring you down. You better take my position be talking about recently Cleany and the left

00:20:00--> 00:20:35

sure that was given in Luton, and I saw a number of you in that lecture, the shear Hussein and why you shot her favor hula hula Tyler, he gave a talk about the statements of the Imams, the four Imams concerning the impermissibility of blindly following them. statement after statement after statement after statement with those mountains of knowledge and only they only have Allah inshallah i saboom Karate there from the only Avalon knowledge, mountains of knowledge, and they will tell the person

00:20:35--> 00:21:02

Hey, Dr. G. Don't write down everything that I say. I'm a human being. I say something today, and I'll change it tomorrow. Take from where I take from. It's not permissible for you to take from us and we don't that's what we learned that the cinemavilla SNAM were upon today. The person is telling you you better follow my position in my opinion, or I'm excommunicating you from Allah slam. I'm excommunicating you from the Sunnah.

00:21:04--> 00:21:32

I want to say to our students kill that thing if you have it. That thing about I did and look at me be one of those people when you come. People don't know you came. And when you bounce and roll out. People don't know that you bounce when you rolled out. Be a man who walks lightly. That's what Chef mcbeal used to always say. He said line of poetry over and over and over again called Roger and

00:21:34--> 00:22:15

riginal who fee thorough Warhammer 285th thoria be a person who your feet are in the ground. You are reasonable. You're a reasonable person, you're not dreaming. You're a person who you are dealing with reality. He said but allow your your desire, your hammer, you know your your goals and the objectives that you want your aspirations. Let them be up in the stars of Pegasus, be a balanced guy, be a humble guy on the ground. The Navy you sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used to drive you used

00:22:15--> 00:22:16

to ride a donkey.

00:22:18--> 00:22:37

When the B sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam used to ride without blood now bass on his back, and his donkey. He didn't mind people being close up on him. Now someone comes to pick up the chef, come pick up the chef, you have to get out of the front seat.

00:22:38--> 00:22:50

If you don't offer that to the chef, Chef gonna be mad at you. It's gonna be upset with you. Because he wants that thing. People want that thing. I'm not saying that about everybody at 20.

00:22:52--> 00:22:59

I'm not saying that about everybody. But it's definitely an issue that we have to struggle for. Just to

00:23:01--> 00:23:34

complete this, we want to mention the ayat of the Quran that Allahu taala, JAMA, Bina had teeny Sif attainment of movement. And Allah put both of these issues together. And he criticized them as it relates to the person who comes yomo piano, and this is going to be estate for calm Allahu taala, that the person is going to say, my ad now I need mallia We're Halakhah attorney. So Tawnya the person is going to say, the money that I went after, it didn't help me. And the soul Tom the power,

00:23:34--> 00:23:44

the position that I got, it was destroyed, nothing came out of it. Allah mentioned both of those and as the person who collected money,

00:23:46--> 00:24:16

my money on my piano, it didn't help me. And the soul Tom, the power that I had, it didn't help me because the person is going to be questioned all of the money that he took, that he received, how he got it. And as it relates to the assault on the person who's a position of leadership and authority is going to be questioned about everybody who came under his leadership and his authority. Cola camera and mccolo comas, all and right at all of you are shepherds, you have responsibilities, and

00:24:16--> 00:24:18

you're going to be questioned about your responsibility.

00:24:19--> 00:24:37

So the man is going to be questioned about his situation, the job that he has and the people under him, even in your secular job, there are people working under you, the guy who was running your store, you're going to be questioned how you dealt with him professionally.

00:24:39--> 00:25:00

You are the dean in the university is something like that. People under you, you're going to be questioned about all of those people that Allah put under your a sheriff under your supervision, so that the Muslim has to feel like he has to be truthful. He has to be honest. He has to be

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

Be humble. He has to be given. He has to have Rama. He has to be easy. And an authentic hadith the Prophet mentioned sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in Allah Allah you belittle. Color Jonathan Ian Jawad. Sahaba bill as her bill, bill, bill a swag G for tune belay, wear him out on Binna ha.

00:25:26--> 00:25:37

Allah hates and Allah is angry with every individual was rough and tough the way he is the way he deals with people just rough and tough. A roughneck

00:25:38--> 00:26:07

and Allah azza wa jal is also angry with the person who was Sasabe been a swap, the one who goes to the marketplace and he's always arguing, having confrontations with the people in the marketplace. His nature, his personality is argumentative. Allah doesn't like it. He doesn't love it. G for Timberlane, an individual who sleeps throughout the night, he sleeps throughout the night, because all day he worked like a donkey.

00:26:08--> 00:26:10

It's nothing wrong with working hard.

00:26:11--> 00:26:28

But it's as if he understood he was created to work. So all he does is walk around work. He doesn't pray. He worked so hard. And then by the time nighttime comes, he sleeps, can make Maghrib can't make a shot can't get up for fetcher.

00:26:29--> 00:26:52

And he said about him, Salah Salem, he's a hamara Hemara and a daytime. He's like a donkey during the daytime. He doesn't know his religion, but he's knowledgeable about the dunya. So there's a person who if you give him a computer, he can take that computer apart build for you a computer from scratch.

00:26:53--> 00:26:59

But when it comes to a Riemann Surah through Fatiha correctly can't do that. I know some people in America

00:27:00--> 00:27:29

and I have love for these brothers I used to tell them when I first met them and came into their community. It was a country it was a state in America where you can carry a concealed weapon a gun you allow to carry a gun, as long as you're not a convicted felon, you can carry a gun around in the street, carry it and your wife in her bag as well. And I was all for that. And these brothers mashallah they were really into protecting themselves and each other in their families and

00:27:29--> 00:27:55

protecting the mistake. If something happened, they used to come and stay in a mess chair, let somebody come up here, talk about they're going to do something MSG, they would deal with it. The issue is, some of them have the ability to turn those lights off and dis assemble that gun without the light on and put it back together quickly taught the little kids how to do that. Take it apart with the lights off.

00:27:58--> 00:28:23

If you can do that, and that's okay. Then you should be even more efficient with the touch wheat of the Quran. That touch wheat of the Quran. My man here he got mad skills with that soccer ball my Shala my man right here, my mouth. Wow, yeah, mad skills with the soccer ball. It's going to make a lot of money for us one day, inshallah.

00:28:25--> 00:28:56

I want that boy to have math skills with the Quran to really sort out the right man from memory with Tajweed the correct way. I have nothing against my boy knowing how to work a soccer ball or football, nothing. But I don't want my boy out there trying to do those tricks that some of those soccer stars and he liked those football dudes that he liked. Some of them, you know, those guys going after trying to spend a lot of time trying to copy them, copy them. Nothing's wrong with that.

00:28:57--> 00:29:10

I'm not against that as his father, but I'm against him being a donkey all night long and not good enough for Serato fetch. That's a problem. I'm going to take that ball and I'm going to let the air out that ball.

00:29:12--> 00:29:15

Because I want his priorities to be straight.

00:29:17--> 00:29:41

So the point here at 20 is stay balanced in the deen and part of staying balanced in the deen is not going after the dunya in that type of way. And we've already took take we've taken a number of a hadith concerning the 40 Hadith of the Islamic personality. Many of them many of them have spoken about. Don't be a person who loves the dunya like Don't be a person who has sure

00:29:42--> 00:29:59

what tacos sure for no Allah can Montana Kabbalah comb. Hama, Lahoma Allah and Suffolk Dima, what's the Hello Maha Remo. Beware of being stingy the money that you do have you hoard the money?

00:30:00--> 00:30:06

You keep counting it over and over don't want to give any such as a cat sadaqa help people who need it.

00:30:08--> 00:30:37

Prophet Muhammad said that greed, it caused the people before you to be destroyed. They may shed in each other's blood halau like in the city of Birmingham, because of money. You have these young Muslims who was selling drugs in Liverpool. Three years of being there. How many Muslims have been stabbed and shot from the youngsters over drug money?

00:30:39--> 00:30:40

Over drug money,

00:30:42--> 00:30:52

they will come the time will come. The person won't care Where's money comes from? It's money. They doesn't care. He doesn't care. He's going to rob an old lady or robbing old lady.

00:30:54--> 00:31:09

Robbing innocent person, robbing a person person doesn't have that thing about Adam o'clock. He sees the old lady over marason It is an easy target to go and mug, the old lady, now Muslim, and he mugs her.

00:31:11--> 00:31:41

And he says but they do and that to us and Palestine here or there. No man, what you just did is what the Prophet sallallaahu Selim spoke about is a sign of a person who was not satisfied with the color of Allah. So I want to say to you 20 In concluding fee, Eliza Joe, as it relates to this issue of how you get your money, where you get your money from the slaves feet will not move in front of Allah until Allah has come about for things now that hadith said five, one of them is his wealth,

00:31:41--> 00:31:54

how we got it and how we spent it. How did he achieve it? How did he acquire it? And how did he spend it? And the other thing is, relax with this stuff about who you are.

00:31:55--> 00:32:00

People have to acknowledge you, the moon, I feel like that you're born and you do it.

00:32:02--> 00:32:20

They love to be praised for what they didn't do. They didn't do anything they want people to know. I did it. Look at me. Look at me alive. I know people who give doubted Allah, they get upset because someone gets 100,000 views on YouTube

00:32:21--> 00:32:36

100,000 500,000 views, he doesn't like the speaker because the speaker gets 500,000 views or he got a million. And he only gets 1000 Man said hamdulillah for those 1000s What's wrong with you?

00:32:37--> 00:32:45

Saying hamdulillah for those 1000 2545 views, but he talking about the goal and the objective is the view.

00:32:46--> 00:32:54

So as it relates to getting shut off, a person can get position through money, money, he works hard. So he has a position.

00:32:56--> 00:33:02

Okay, another way he can get a position is to his sofa. He has a powerful position.

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

He has a powerful position a good job. I mean, had you with people, they had good jobs and people have good jobs. And they had positions, good positions, secretaries under them, nurses under them, pilots under them. But you know, and some of them are here right now. When we were walking around that Kaaba, when we were walking around that Kaaba in Mecca, the other 4 million Muslims who did not know them, we're pushing them and pushing them there. Because they don't care about who you are.

00:33:35--> 00:33:38

They don't know about your money and what your job is.

00:33:39--> 00:33:43

When they were making the two off around the Kaaba when they were making the site.

00:33:44--> 00:34:11

Guy has a lot of money. He has made 10s of millions of pounds, millionaires. But those poor people came from African Bangladesh who are going around that Kaaba trying to worship Allah. They didn't care anything about anybody's money, because that's one of the benefits of an homage that everybody is the same. You're going to wear that ihraam And nobody knows who you are. Nobody knows who you are nobody.

00:34:12--> 00:34:24

So people get position now money and they have power, prestige, their position. One of the worst ways to get position and to misuse it is through knowledge.

00:34:25--> 00:34:27

Person is a charlatan.

00:34:28--> 00:34:39

He gets some knowledge nice recitation of the Quran maybe so he becomes a rocky and he does Rokia and he's still in the people's money, using the Quran to steal money.

00:34:41--> 00:34:59

The person gets some knowledge, and he takes advantage of the people because he has some knowledge. The Prophet mentioned sallallahu alayhi wa, and he was sending them into Alma Elman. MEMA you better be watch Hola. Ly at the Alamo, Allah, the individual who gets

00:35:00--> 00:35:29

knowledge. And it's the knowledge that you should only seek for Allah's Cause for Allah's sake and pleasure. But he gets it for other than that, he goes out and gets knowledge so that he can argue with the scholars, so that he can argue with the foolish people don't have knowledge, and so that everyone can look at him and pay attention to that's his golden objective. He got shut off in position to the knowledge and that's the worst one. That's the more dangerous one. That's more

00:35:29--> 00:36:04

dangerous than doing it for money and get in position with money or get in position with with your power, prestige. Get in position with the dean. And that's your goal. As for Allah stapling the Quran, your affair Allah who live in Amman omenka, Lavina O'Toole and Rajat those people who have Eman and knowledge, Allah will raise them in degrees. If Allah gave a person refer, and he brought him up, and it wasn't his golden objective. That's okay. No problem. I'm talking about your near. So

00:36:04--> 00:36:12

some people students of knowledge, they may read a book and they read in the book, just to get delille to refute other people

00:36:14--> 00:36:46

is memorizing the surah in order to learn the deal to refute other people. So again, Imam Sophia and authority he said, knowledge is like every other commodity is higher and better than everything because Allah's pleasure is sought with knowledge. But if a person doesn't have a class, knowledge becomes like everything else. It becomes like money. It becomes like you using your position and your job and your place of prestige. So we're going to stop here in sha Allah azza wa jal.

00:36:47--> 00:36:56

If you brothers have any questions, you could put your question forward. If you guys don't have any questions, we'll see you Shala next week

00:36:59--> 00:37:04

I'll in the shade for the Yaffe. Nora Dean, no world, Allah Ionic.

00:37:14--> 00:37:47

That's a very good question. How does a person know that he's doing something and he's not doing it to be known? He's doing it with laws. How does he know? How does he know Al Imam Mohammed Zoetry Mohammed bin she had Zoetry was from the tabby in the smaller tabby. He answered that question for the Muslims. And he said and he's from the rhythm of the self. He said a person knows that he's doing something for Allah's so sake exclusively, when he doesn't care if people mentioned it, or

00:37:47--> 00:37:48

they don't mention it.

00:37:51--> 00:38:14

If they mentioned it, or they don't mention it, it's one the same. He gives Dawa in Allah He gives advice. Yeah, actually don't do that. Don't do this. Don't do that. He doesn't have a nice way. The person came out of here with that. I'm not trying to hear that. He says my Shala I did was going he steps off, as opposed to the one who gets mad. Don't talk to me like that. And he goes back and forth, because it's Dawa.

00:38:15--> 00:38:19

He has some have in there for himself.

00:38:20--> 00:38:49

So the one who does something for Allah sake, he doesn't want people to know, and it doesn't bother them. He says sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam, Pharaoh sadaqa tin sadaqa tune to sadaqat Bihar to suit Deepak, Bihar. hatherleigh chemin. Mata sadaqa be yummy. The best sadaqa is the one in which the person gives it. The left hand doesn't know what the right hand gave.

00:38:50--> 00:38:59

He's giving people stuff and nobody is seeing him. He's crying and nobody is seeing him. He's praying and he's getting to his prayer and no one is him. So he knows

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

what's the second question

00:39:06--> 00:39:08

begging says, What is that

00:39:13--> 00:39:15

you have a the star Pegasus. But what did you ask?

00:39:19--> 00:39:20

To do what?

00:39:22--> 00:39:23

Greek mythology

00:39:25--> 00:39:32

Pegasus as become a star noun series, a cluster of stars that they call Pegasus, because

00:39:33--> 00:39:59

I don't know the history behind it. So it's nothing wrong with that. It's like in the medical field. They have that oath, that oath that they take. What does that oath call that Hippocratic oath and the actual Hippocratic Oath has to do with making an oath to the gods and all of that stuff that the Greeks used to believe in that they will be you know, professional and help people and heal people.

00:40:00--> 00:40:27

So the doctor today, Dr. Today, they don't make people do that. But that concept is there, that concept is there, we're not going to say to somebody, you can't be a doctor because that that oath, we're going to say no. Because we are hoping that every doctor will have the integrity and all of that, to be sincere to the patient and be professional and fear Allah in that regard. So as it relates to these things that have these names like that, and they become popular culture, and

00:40:27--> 00:40:50

they're part of what life is, we just don't pick them up and we don't praise them. Which brings me to another point. That's a good point. And that is today's hadith of 20. It clearly shows the decadence of hip hop music and hip hop culture is one of the many a hadith that show improve hip hop is haram.

00:40:51--> 00:41:06

The ideas and what they're singing and the culture of it. Because the Prophet is telling us southern lady was selling the thing that will destroy your religion is trying to get money by hook or crook and that's what they talk about getting money anyway.

00:41:08--> 00:41:11

Anyway, they had a statement called cream,

00:41:12--> 00:41:43

cash rules everything around me that's not an Islamic concept. Cash Don't be with us we were you talking about get rich or die trying those concepts against our religion. And then that thing about position, I gotta wear the biggest ring and this and that and I gotta be the man. And this is how that culture is. So let there be no doubt in the hearts and the minds and ears of any of our young brothers and sisters. Here pop culture is haram for many angles. One of them is this hadith, my man

00:41:43--> 00:41:44

you have a question?

00:41:46--> 00:41:46

A Chroma Kamala?

00:42:18--> 00:42:40

That's a good question. I reckon the brothers asking if a person knows and believes with sincerity that he's the best man for this particular job and his position of leadership and responsibility. He's the best one for the job. Is it a sin for him to get that job? No, it's not a sin for him in that case, but he still should fear Allah.

00:42:41--> 00:42:52

Because as long as a person is living, he can't be sure about fitna. That's what he said, if you say, as long as a person is alive, he's not free and exempt from fitna.

00:42:53--> 00:43:10

So in the case of use of the Nabhi of Allah use of when he came out of the prison, that King wanted to put him in a high position. He said, Nah, I don't want to be a minister. I don't want to be close to you like that. Just put me in charge of the storage.

00:43:11--> 00:43:17

Put me in charge of the storage because I'm a trustworthy person.

00:43:19--> 00:43:51

So he put himself forward because there's no one better for him. So when those seven years of drought came, he knows how to deal with situation. I'm memory I became a Muslim was a new Muslim. I was brand spanking new most America and it was time for us to make Salah so not the Maghrib Isha I don't remember one of the two and we will stand in a line and we will look at you go you go, you go you go. Now you Somali you Somali, you you know Quran, you memorize a lot of the Quran you're with

00:43:51--> 00:44:14

us in the line and you're looking down you see me a new Muslim, this African American brothers African American all were reverse you can see that and we're seeing you go you go and you're not staying doing anything you standing back, wanting to be under the radar. And then one of us went forward, the brother went forward and he said Allahu Akbar Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim and started reading in English

00:44:16--> 00:44:27

because he didn't know All he knew was Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim and he called it Bish Molera Rahim, or Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the universe, and he started reading in English.

00:44:28--> 00:44:31

So now don't start sucking your tongues.

00:44:32--> 00:44:41

What is he doing? In that case, you should have stepped forward. Because you see the situation. Now it's an obligation for you to step forward now.

00:44:42--> 00:44:59

So there is some fifth in this issue. So if a person feels he can go back to his country for an example, and there is a post in the ministry has some that's open. He should try to get that job. People before and that proven to be not qualifying now.

00:45:00--> 00:45:17

not competent, they're not trustworthy, they're stealing and so forth so on. He wants to help his country and he says, I'm going to do this job FISA be the law Lilla why should he care? Then that person should try to get that job even if it's a job of responsibility knowing

00:45:18--> 00:45:24

that you should always rely on Allah azza wa jal to help you and so forth and so on. Any more questions for the judge?

00:45:31--> 00:45:40

The definition of arrogance and how do you avoid is to read the Quran and read what the Sunnah had to say about them to be read. Like the Hadith that we mentioned Allah yeah blue

00:45:42--> 00:46:02

yeah burrito. Cool the job fair Ian job was Allah hates people arrogant. He hates it. The Prophet mentions Allah Allah what He was selling them and Kenneth is called the myth called the rotten monkey brain. Lie Leia told Jana the one who has just the.of Arrogance won't enter into the Hellfire

00:46:04--> 00:46:23

Allah will Tyla will take all of the kings and the leaders of the world put them in the Hellfire who deserving the Hellfire before he put submit he'll say I'm the king today. We're all the kings were they all that? And he's gonna say I'm the King today I'm the king today and then put them all in the hellfire.

00:46:24--> 00:46:38

And then arrogance in order to avoid it we got to know what it is. The Prophet told us Allah what He was salam al caver battle Huck was home to nurse it is rejecting the truth and looking down on people.

00:46:40--> 00:47:01

So that is what Kibet is rejecting the truth when it comes to you. You reject it and you look down upon other people for whatever reason your money your skin color, where you come from geographically and your knowledge or whatever. So it's from the major sins the Caber no place in the Jana for them with a Cadbury

00:47:02--> 00:47:35

anybody who has one died of Kibber doesn't go into the agenda. And then the question has to be presented. Allah is established in the Quran that he has created everybody from what he called them the Quran MA in morphine, from a despise liquid, a display a despise fluid. Everybody came from sperm everybody. So when people want to argue or they want to be arrogant about where they came from, I came from here I came from there. That's where you came from. And he told the people not

00:47:35--> 00:47:38

conclude with this is a tomb

00:47:39--> 00:47:55

Rajul in your eyes be Isaiah is J V A T. I do who begin a B when I took no authentic hadith that was collected by the MME to the media and other than Him and Imam Bukhari in his book and edible Morford.

00:47:56--> 00:48:19

The companion said that the Prophet says Allah Allah what He was salam, if you see a man bragging, an arrogance, bragging about where he came from, then tell him to bite on his father's penis and don't sugarcoat it. So some people smile in the audience. by the Romans smile at their mouth smile.

00:48:21--> 00:48:48

Prophet said that some Allah It was said that, If you see anyone bragging, like they did in JD and my father's from this part of the dam, my father is from that side of the dam. My father is from the north mines is from the south. This is my tribe. That's it. He said, If you see that, then tell him byline, your father's penis. And don't sugarcoat it. Because if you're proud of where your father where you come from, and that's where you come from.

00:48:49--> 00:48:50

Personally,

00:48:51--> 00:48:51

talking about

00:48:53--> 00:49:07

even some people will sit there and say that the Prophet really say that you may not be able to say that hadith in every Masjid. Because it's gonna be a fitna, for some people say, What did you eat what that Imam said up there. Don't let him do any more about it.

00:49:08--> 00:49:37

So I wouldn't advise anybody to go home. And to say that to your mother and your father. I wouldn't advise that for anyone. But if you have a close relationship with them, you could do that. But there's a time place for everything. The point here is that hadith goes to show, no one has a heart, no one to be arrogant. Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam again, he was visited by a man and a man was shaken from the hate but he was afraid of how the Prophet was not afraid that he was going to hurt

00:49:37--> 00:49:49

him. But you know when you're in front of a powerful man, and the man was shaken, and the people said we saw as thought he was shaken, Rasul Allah told the man SallAllahu wasallam wait and wait and take it easy.

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

My Anna Ella Raju membre. Attend min Quraysh can attack Kuru Fareed. I'm just a man who was born

00:50:00--> 00:50:12

onto a lady who was from porridge, and she used to eat a third eat a delicacy a Quraysh relax and just a regular person take it easy. Some people will play on his fear.

00:50:14--> 00:50:20

Arrogant people they were playing on the fact that he's scared he's afraid they're going to make a more free

00:50:21--> 00:50:51

so we should humble ourselves. A Kulu Cody Heather was stuck for Allah Lee welcome when us Allah Allah to Allah to fit was said that and for our brothers who have performed Hajj with us. This previous year they came to the class last week and this week as well. Want to tell you guys we're always happy to see you and like you. I wish we can go back to Mecca and Medina and all of those other places especially the brothers from bus number four, bus number four. They had it going on. I

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

sent a lady
