00:03:48 --> 00:03:54
			This is the 10th installment within the series of numbers that I began a number of weeks ago.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:03
			State a very clear and undebated undisputed Islamic value or concept.
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:27
			And then a show you a caveat that with it, you require a certain balance to understand it
appropriately and properly. And I think this is where we we have some problems as Muslims in the
Muslim world in general. Where in order for us to understand certain Islamic ideas, we have to see
that there are two sides to the two sides to the coin or two sides of the story.
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:42
			And without that you can end up missing comprehending what Allah subhanaw taala is explaining. And
I've done nine of these verses the tense and today it's a it's shouldn't be straightforward, but but
I think it's still worth at least talking about.
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:53
			Definitely within Islam. The concept of asceticism or resilvered is very much important. It's very
important. It's actually one of the
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:59
			most obvious characteristics of the Prophet Allah you've sought to ascend if you are to watch him
from afar if you take a step back
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:26
			Just watched the Prophet alayhi salatu salam from a little bit from from afar you'll you'll see
about him out of your sight to see if you didn't understand much about the deen if you didn't
understand really a lot about rituals, or you weren't fully it adversity within the Islamic within
within Islamic law, but it will stand out about the way he lived Alia Salatu Salam is that he chose
to live in a very simple manner. You just chose to live sophistically And when you read the Quran,
you find the Quran pushing that concept a lot.
		
00:05:27 --> 00:06:11
			For example, the verse I just recited he says Subhana wa Taala are very who Bill hieratic dunya
woman higher to fill Yachty Illa Mata and they and they're all happy and excited about dunya. In
this in this life, this will be life, but really is dunya except a few moments of joy, something
that you enjoy for a very short period of time. He says to Pine otaku, Mata buena Khalil will to
hire only money taka, Tuzla moolah Tila say the majority of this world is very, very simple belief
almost nothing. But it was way better for those who show some degree of piety and you will not be
mistreated you won't you will not be treated in justice on that day.
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:45
			He says subhanaw taala twice in the Quran to the Prophet alayhi salatu salam and in transformation
to us. When I tell him then I in Acre. Medina be he as Roger men whom the hotel highlighted dunya so
he said this in the Quran to the prophet, and don't extend your eyesight to what we have given other
people, other couples from this dunya that they are enjoying. Don't don't look at it Don't Don't be
preoccupied by it. Don't care what others have that that you don't be be content with what your gods
is what he's been told Alia salatu salam and in these verses
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:54
			were not ot to me shaitan permata are hayati dunya was in the Allahu Akbar.
		
00:06:55 --> 00:07:10
			Wherever you're given within this dunya is just whatever whatever wealth you are given whatever it
is, whatever possessions that you have, is just a little bit of the metallic dunya just a little bit
of a provision of dystonia, it will end quickly but what you have waiting on the other side is way
better than you
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:12
			know sorts of
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:53
			Gouda well so for your athlete got a book up at our door twice in the Surah is very short and so it
says basically same idea that there's gonna be way better than the dunya and you'll be given there
until you're satisfied so don't waste too much time. I inshallah Allah one in a series of a hadith
and decide hey in the series of a hadith different ones different he will talk about him it have
sought to set in her life with him and she was saying, masha Allah suit Allah He man comes in was
eating for Yeoman Norbertine you never ate in one day, something that had bread and an oil in it
twice. I couldn't imagine that I'm cool to Chevron when I started to build a team and now it was

Tamar Wilma, it's a it's dates and water. And when the Soviet tells how he thinks I hand as well.
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:09
			Allah Himself Allah Allah,
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:18
			Allah, Allah Allah be Sultan relief from mahkamah Murphy Jambi he he was lying on the
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:32
			rug made of Halcyon which is a very thick type of fabric and when he got up early and saw to say you
could see the the pattern of the fabric on his on his body and then we missed on site and it
bothered him for calling Allah so Allah
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:41
			why don't we get you something a little bit more comfortable then this bucket of money you would
have been here family duniya family in
		
00:08:43 --> 00:09:18
			Morocco Hatanaka What do I want from dunya dunya one from me I'm just here is I'm just example of me
and dunya just a man who came who's on a trip he's in wait under a tree for the shade for a little
bit and then it keeps on going. If you study with the prophets on a facade do some did with the
Sahaba like the Sahaba they find at least maybe eight a hadith within within the within the
authentic collections where they talk about what they agreed to with the Prophet Adi have sought to
assume they would perform a Bey on it they would go and they would agree they would they would shake
his hand on something and within that there'll be a number of different things like about Sudan cm
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:45
			and Zika and Hodgins you know and all that stuff but they always would point out one of the things
that he talks about Alia Salah to Assam what and why we know this is because they they later on
regretted it. Maybe they would talk about this later in their life and see not one piece that we
agreed to we didn't really do that went very well. That's why they would point it out. So we don't
know what each and every person shook the hand of the Prophet ally of southern Samagri to but we
know that they agreed to this because they kept on talking about it after he passed away. And when
it was
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:59
			sued Allah is Allah Allah who said oh by Allah Sula, him Allah Allah, Allah, Allah and if you're
lucky that this phrase is repeated like eight nine times in the in the books of Hadith by different
Sahaba is there the rock
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			And is the provision of a traveler.
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:34
			A provision of a traveler, if you're going somewhere coming back, how much do you take? How much do
you pack? If you're not insane, you'll take maybe a small lunchbox, that's it, you're not going to
take your house with you. If you're going if you're going to if you're traveling to a city come
back. So some people try and do that. It's possible you teach her something very simple. So Zadie
Rakim is the provision of a traveler. So they use this phrase as what they agreed to with the proper
value. So to Islam, that we're going to take on Guinea only the provision of a traveler, just as
much to get us to our destination. That's it. And then he will go and say, Oh, we didn't do that
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:52
			one. We were supposed to. And then you look at their lives, of course, you know, like, what are you?
What are you talking about, because they didn't really own anything. Like when you actually analyzed
their lives and their possessions and their wealth, they didn't really have much of it, but they but
they still felt that they did not come through with that one specific agreement they had with the
broader audience thought was to them.
		
00:10:54 --> 00:11:29
			And the examples here, I can go on and on and on and on. have examples of how the Prophet audio
software systems lifestyle was extremely, extremely simple. And he did not take from dystonia or
when he passed away, at least to us. He had put his own shield as collateral with his neighbor
because he took out a loan to help someone else. Ally's thought was him. When he came to look at his
inheritance, there was almost nothing left. But there was nothing he didn't leave anything out. He
was taught to so all they left, obviously, is everything. He didn't leave anything in terms of
wealth, but he left everything to Himself to us and I seen it as his inheritance and he made sure
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:49
			that it was available for everyone so there was no need to divide it amongst the people that were
there. But from dunya there was there was nothing to divide after he passed away Ali has sought to
sell and that's how he lived 2018 And he called me, Mr. Silikal Hold on, let him do that to him on

			Ali Asad was a man who were Obion means over the LASR to Assam hey I do cannot proceed. What did you

What Can daddy come and kind of Ma wholemeal Sahaba Titi Killam.
		
00:13:48 --> 00:14:06
			So that's the first part of the hook. But that's a definitely piece. I don't think we have to
disagree on that. Because we know that the Prophet Adi have sought to ascertain the Sahaba that's
how they lived, all you have to do is go read the endless number of a hadith that talk about this
simplistic aspect of his lifestyle and how he was told to do that from the Quran. And how he asked
the Sahaba, whom he loved were very close to him to do the same.
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:11
			However, there is a second piece of this,
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:59
			she still had to end poverty are not the same asceticism and being poor. They're not the same.
They're not they're not equal or equivalent in any form or manner. And actually equalizing them is
the problem that we have as Muslims today. When we think somehow that being poor and not having
enough not making ends meet and not having any strength, financial, social or otherwise is equal to
beings ahead and they are not the provider you select to send them and make the stickman pretty
clear. He was not poor. I didn't insult them financially, financially. He was not poor. He was never
poor Ali Asad was I'm from the from after the age of 15. He was never poor because he worked. He
		
00:14:59 --> 00:14:59
			started when he was eight years.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:07
			He's old, he started being a business member. He's 15. He always had money he always made enough.
And more than enough out of
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:13
			his lifestyle was by choice was by choice.
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:43
			He was not coerced into it. It wasn't this is the only option because they have nothing. No, no, he
chose to live like that. There's a huge difference. This is a huge difference between someone who
can't make ends meet, or someone who's accepted poverty, or someone who has no ambition, versus
someone who did just chose to live like that for a reason. So this has to be we have to unpack this
a little bit because it's very important because the provider yourself did not encourage poverty,
nor did the Quran.
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:47
			Neither them encouraged Muslims to be poor, or
		
00:15:49 --> 00:16:09
			by transformation week. You are not You're not encouraged to do that. If anything, you're encouraged
to be the opposite. You're encouraged to have wealth and to be strong. And then the question just
becomes what are you going to do with all of it? That's where this all comes down to what why do you
have it? What is the goal? A che ha
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:45
			ha ha No, we are a do Qumran Sakura, we're Mortal Kombat fascia Allahu I do not feel a term mean who
I felt. The Shaitan is the one who was wanting you to be poor, to have to have nothing. And to
perform fascia. Allah subhanaw taala is promising you the opposite. Three times in the Quran when I
tell him you know, Well I tell you, you know, a poem for Latino whatever it is selling their attire,
you know, Don't be weak, do not be weak three times you find it in different contexts in the Quran
and different verses in different sources. Well I tell you, do not be weak.
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:47
			So,
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:59
			Mr. Potter Mapua and prepare yourself with all of the with all the power that you can possibly
prepare. If you have no power, and if you have nothing then what is there to prepare?
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:36
			He says it starts with some Hadith if you say that he's unbeknown Hadith you say earlier earlier, a
pharaoh Mina Sophia. Alia did early earlier. Hi, Iran Mina Sophia, we have a mentor who will hire
Rosada Fatima Khanna on body Alina, the upper hand is better than the lower hand is giving you that
any that similarly was someone's giving and someone's receiving the upper hand is always better. The
hand that is giving is always greater than the head is receiving always. And start by giving and
start by strengthening those whom you are responsible for financially and the best. So data is
coming from someone who has wealth
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:47
			as well who has extra was more that's the best type of setup that Apple will do that was told that
Hola Hola, welcome. Let's start with you know we have ferula Camilla frozen mustafina UniStar
hirola.
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:08
			hamdu Lillahi
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:18
			wa sallahu wa salam, O Allah may Allah be a bad one early he was * woman he turbina hijo who
will have
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:26
			the Hadith Imam Muslim he says adding salt to Assam. This is a very famous one. It's a good one for
us to kind of use an anchor and remind ourselves of
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:44
			how you Anwar Allah He knows what to buy if you if he couldn't tell you. He says Ali Hassan said he
says the strong woman is more beloved and more beneficial, and more significant, then to Allah
subhanaw taala, then then the weak one, both have height in them, but the one that is stronger is
better.
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:56
			Because if you have strength, whatever that strength exists in academic strength, or social
strength, or financial strength, or political strength, wherever it takes Webster or even physical
strength,
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:38
			that is what the dean is actually encouraging you to do is you're saying that once you have it, you
use it for the benefit of others. The concept of good or asceticism is to leave simplistically, even
though you have a lot. You look at the priority of selectors, and he always had wealth is just he
wherever he received it, he gave it away. It didn't didn't stay in his house for more, it didn't
sleep in his home, he got the money, he gave it away. Now what he did on his thought to his time is,
in my opinion, almost impossible for a human being to do. Because it borderlines what is impossible
for a human being to be able to do, which is why I think we shouldn't be at all of his character
		
00:19:38 --> 00:20:00
			Alia salatu salam, it's just not possible to do what he did is not possible for all of his life from
the age of 15. Today to 63 No matter how much money he makes, or how much money he brings, he gives
it all away at some point. At some point he has to cash in at some point he has to say okay, now
it's my time is my time to enjoy. He never did. He never did because that's how
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:33
			People feel that way, and giving them giving, giving. But now it's my time. He never said that that
my time peace he never brought up, he never thought of it or felt because he found joy in living
that way. He found joy in being someone who lived a simple lifestyle and gave what he had for the
sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala to the point where his wives couldn't put up with it anymore. Like
it bothered them because you're married to someone and there's no financial progression at all.
There's no There's no hope even because every time he makes a lot of money he's bringing it doesn't
bring it any of it home. He gives it away on the way home. And he comes back with maybe a piece of
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:47
			meat, he has like 16 or 600 sheep, he leaves it all he gives it all the way it comes up with a piece
of meat, maybe not even that. So they got to the objective. And the client came and said, I do stay
with him the way he is, or we will designate you and
		
00:20:48 --> 00:21:19
			teach you in high manner and you'll be divorced so you can live and you have all the welfare and the
respect that you want. You're not going to mistreat you if you end up not being his wife. But if
you're gonna live with him, that's how he lives. Look at obika Oh, Becca was poor No, holds his
lifestyle like sometimes he'd walk out of his house wearing two pieces of clothing that would make
people laugh. Sometimes you walk out with very clothing so simple that people would smirk because he
would have nothing left you'd give away so much. There'll be nothing left inside his wardrobe to
wear so walk out tomorrow buy something to wear. Oh no to porque no,
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:20
			no,
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:23
			no, all the big men dressed man.
		
00:21:25 --> 00:22:05
			One of the richest people that lived but when you looked at how they live their lives, they lived it
simplistically, because the zoo was was a choice not allowing Donia to overtake the heart was a
choice that they made. I'm not going to live in an extravagant manner and the wealth that I have is
designated to serve Allah had to serve his own it's hard to do. So why am I saying this? Because
neither neither extremes and this and what I'm trying to explain are are Islamic and unacceptable
proper. Either extremes. Let me just translate for a moment. But sort of 30 Min hope material on the
20 We'll call it an Manam and maybe Alia sought to us unkindness or Heda what can call him and MA
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:22

Oh, we are calling Sofia la eviden At least
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:26
			when I have more billable barf Well, I
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:32
			will never be a miner when I can have any man. Why do you
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:37
			let the assaulter who know that stuff? I will be mad at us now.
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:40
			But I can't
		
00:22:43 --> 00:23:12

00:23:24 --> 00:23:27
			acres have ILA. So here's what I want to excuse the balance.
		
00:23:28 --> 00:24:10
			I think we have to make sure that our Muslim youth, male and female, understand that they are
commanded by Allah to be strong, to be powerful, to be wealthy, to be successful, to take the dunya
within their hands. If you do either Donia ruling into who is going to control it if you decide that
you don't want it, who's going to take it? When was the last time you saw rich people give them both
away. Those who tell you that you don't need to pay money doesn't buy you this and ladies, and by
that money buys a lot of things. It buys almost everything it can buy it can buy consciences, it can
buy countries it can buy Berber treaties, it can buy almost anything you want, money's there, so no
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:42
			one gives away their money. No one gives away their money. They'll talk about it. And they'll say
no, no, it's important. Money is very important. Without money, there would have been been no Islam
without the proper audience other than putting up his Abba until you put your wealth so we can build
an army and build a country the below Islam was as important The only thing that he's trying to
explain in the Quran and the Sunnah is that that wealth is not for your personal consumption only.
Don't live in an extravagant backyard with the wealth actually that will has to be the intention of
having the intention of going and seeking it and getting it is to serve Allah subhanaw taala and to
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:59
			serve others and to help others remove people from poverty, remove people from struggle and
strengthen the OMA that is what wealth is for. That is the point of it. So yes, you need to go and
make money and you need to be successful and we need entrepreneurs and we need business owners and
we need people who have strength on it.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:23
			Every front, whether it be academic or financial, or social, political, so that they can use it for
the sake of Allah subhana wa Tada. And this is, this was what that means. So it means you have the
wealth in your hand, you don't, it's not in your heart, you own it, it doesn't own you. You own it,
it doesn't own you, the car that you drive is not it's doesn't own you, you own it, so you can get
rid of it. And suddenly, once
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:48
			it's not a piece of you, without you, you will suffer and, and cry and be in pain when you don't
have it anymore. If there's something in your life like that you don't own it, it owns you. It's a
big difference between the two concepts. And just saying nothing owns you. Don't hear your take on
it only what you what you need to get through it. And maybe a little bit more for your person. But
you keep you keep the balance clear.
		
00:25:50 --> 00:26:28
			Nowhere in Islam are we taught to be weak. I am standing here to tell you that you need to teach
your children to be as strong as they possibly can, in every field that they can access, in every
discipline in every field of life, to be as strong as possible to be as rosy as possible. And then
take that and then use it the way the Prophet alayhi salatu salam did remember when he came running
down the mountain, and Khadija took him, he embraced him and he sold her I'm afraid that maybe I was
being punished for something I did I did wrong. So she told him and this is like this isn't say hey,
it's beautiful spray she says Hola Hola. Hola. Zika la Hua. So no, you would never be mistreated by
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:33
			God, God would never punish you. And then she started to count for him. What? Why? In Mecca? The
Tuxedo, madam?
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:36
			What do I know that Hajah.
		
00:26:39 --> 00:27:14
			And he went to NY I know I've been helps her to No, I don't know why it will help. What to hear from
well hoof. What will kill these fours concepts that she used, where you strengthen the person who is
weak, you give wealth the person who doesn't have it, you teach the person how to make money, how to
make it and you carry the person who can't carry their themselves. It was never about that he didn't
have money. It's about the money that he made, he would use. He was used for the benefit of others
because he didn't see that he needed even before prophecy. He didn't see that he needed a lot of
dunya for himself. He didn't want to be a slave for dunya. You want to be a servant of something
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:49
			that Allah created for it for it to serve to serve him. He wanted to be a servant of it. He didn't
want to be owned by his own possessions. He didn't want to allow them to find their way inside their
heart, his heart where he wanted the more than he should, where he is captive by something that he
bought with his own money. He didn't want that. He says I'm so weak, kept his distance he used from
dunya where he was what he needed in the love breast of it he he helped others with it. And this is
what we're supposed to do. This is the balance is a beautiful concept. I don't think we can do it
the way he did. Ali Asad. Ali is awesome way beyond like, just lightyears beyond us in terms of how
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:56
			he was able to live I don't think I think you're going to definitely need to have a nice car, a nice
house, in good clothing, all that stuff and travel here and there.
		
00:27:57 --> 00:28:36
			But you have to remind yourself that Islam teaches you that the wealth that you have the strength
that you have, that you are commanded to go and obtain. You're not welcome to be weak as a Muslim
minister, you're not you're not asking you're not allowed to do that. You have to go get strength
somewhere somewhere in some disciplines, some field go become strong somewhere and then use the Divi
use that strength to serve use it to serve. That is what his time is teaching us. And that's why
he's and poverty are not equal. Never have been and never will be. And today, we need to understand
that I see too. I see the pendulum swinging from both extremes in my community, I see those who have
		
00:28:36 --> 00:29:09
			love denier. And they can barely have ends make ends meet. And they can barely make a living for
themselves. Somehow feeling that this is how they should be living. And I feel bad to tell them no,
this is not how you're supposed to be living. And this is wrong. Don't come here for five pairs a
day. If you don't have a goal, find a job and go make a living it come here for a show only. And
that's that's better. That's way better. Because the weakness is not going to help you. It's not
going to tell but it's not going to help your children. And then you have the opposite. They are the
opposite those who don't have time. We don't have time because Donia has completely consumed them.
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:30
			They've been could they have been consumed, but they think they're consuming and they've been
consumed by dunya to be happy all the time. barely make it for jamaa barely come to anything that
barely be a part of them all together. Both examples are poor examples of Muslims both are poor
examples of Muslims, because that's not how he was Alehissalaam to Assam, nor were the Sahaba like
that. I'll tell you this story.
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:36
			Once our hot dog walks into the masjid, during
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:39
			a time where people are working or work
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:46
			so he sees a guy sitting recently in the salon. So he comes up and asks him What are you doing?
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:50
			So that being applied and doing magic?
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:59
			Do you not work? So no, no my brother works for the for both of us. The fall a hook ibid MC your
brother
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:02
			He's more of a servant of God than you are. And he walks out
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:44
			and he was right. Does he understand how this works are the Allahu Anhu worldwide he learned from
the prophet of your soul to us and you're not welcome to be weak and not to have any form of
strength you know no going become strong because that strength is what's going to strengthen the OMA
and then you for use it you get more agile that way you get more agile, you get way more reward when
you have some some strength and you're gonna use it for the sake of Allah subhana which is someone
who doesn't once I just saw saw people walking and they were walking very like this. So she sees
them she says well, by the way, you your lil your COVID What's going on? So they say how would our
		
00:30:44 --> 00:31:04
			inner circles are heard there are people who are left in the NSF Apollo Lima are often a pseudo
hacker that knows what to be like that. Well Allah He mountain climbing and you're not more pious
than what kind of either Masha Isla, we've got the kalam USMA without Alaba if he spoke you could
hear him when he walked he walked with his head higher.
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:40
			In another generation he would he would all I would say to Tamara were to fire to me to Elena Dina,
don't walk as if you're dying and you make Islam seem as if people who accepted are half dead is a
dean of dying, no, walk with your head held high and walk with strength, strength that you have
obtained in your life for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala This is the difference you obtain
wealth why so that you can just enjoy yourself so that you can serve others with it? Here's the
question I've repeated in the whole persona four times because this is the question that you have to
answer. This is what this is all about. This is why told this gave this hotbar because it is known
		
00:31:40 --> 00:32:06
			and strength are known but we need to bring them together in a way that is meaningful and we'll end
with that inshallah. Karla hope that was a benefit to you. While I'm waiting Allah hermana the
