00:00:25 --> 00:00:28
			Today we will talk about Surah Al-Hujurat,
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:32
			the third and last surah of the ninth
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			clusters of surahs in the Qur'an.
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:48
			Surah Al-Hujurat is
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:54
			the final surah in this group and it
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57
			is the surah that the scholars have traditionally
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			called Surah Al-Adab, the surah of manners.
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:03
			This surah teaches us the manners and values
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:06
			that the Prophet ﷺ taught us and the
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			manners we should have with him and with
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:12
			everything that he taught us to, or everything
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:16
			that is in regards of him ﷺ, and
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:17
			that's basically what Surah Al-Hujurat is going
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			to talk about.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			The beginning of it, and I'll go through
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			it because it's a bunch of commands basically
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			in Surah Al-Hujurat, and it's a madani
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25
			surah, it's one of the late madani surahs,
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:34
			it begins with the first manner that he
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:37
			had ﷺ, he taught us ﷺ, is that
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:40
			we don't put anything before the command of
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			Allah ﷻ and his Prophets.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			That's the first adab that we must obtain,
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:49
			is that we don't put anything before him.
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:54
			لَا تُقَدِّمُ بَيْنَهِ لِلَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ The first thing
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			you ask about, the first thing that we
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:58
			think about is what does Allah ﷻ, what
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:01
			does the Prophet ﷺ say about this manner?
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			How do they view it?
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			Is it something that Allah ﷻ and the
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			Prophet ﷺ taught us to do or not
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:07
			to do?
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10
			Before we think of our personal opinions or
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:14
			personal gain about it, always Allah ﷻ's
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:17
			Prophet ﷺ comes first regarding any matter that
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			we deal with in our life, and that's
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			the first command of the surah and probably
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:25
			the most important one of all, especially these
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			days where cherry-picking has become more and
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:30
			more common and it's starting, unfortunately, to seem
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:36
			that it's being normalized, meaning where in the
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			past, those who cherry-picked who chose parts
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			of Islam that they liked and wanted to
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:44
			follow and disregarded the parts or aspects that
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			they didn't like or didn't want to follow,
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			that was frowned upon, that was pointed out.
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			Today, it seems to be being normalized more
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:54
			and more and it's quite a fear, to
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56
			be honest, because all we really have is
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			the integrity of what Islam is.
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:02
			If that is lost, then I'm not sure
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:03
			what we're doing.
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			The verse right after that, the ayah after
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			that, he says, سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:13
			آمَنُوا لَا تَرْفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَكُمْ فَوْقَ صَوْتِ النَّبِيِّ وَلَا
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:18
			تَجْهَرُوا لَهُ بِالْقَوْلِ كَجَهْرِ بَعْضِكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ أَنْ تَحْبَطَ
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:24
			أَعْمَالُكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ لَا تَشْعُرُونَ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَغْضُونَ
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:28
			أَصْوَاتَهُمْ عِندَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ امْتَحَنَ اللَّهُ
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:33
			قُلُوبَهُمْ لِلتَّقْوَى لَهُمْ مَغْفِرَةٌ وَأَجْرٌ عَظِيمٌ The second
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:36
			ayah commands us, do not raise your voice
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			above the voice of the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			And don't call him and yell at him
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			as you would call or yell at someone,
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:46
			at a friend or a random person.
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			When we speak to the Prophet ﷺ, we
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:51
			should show him the respect that he deserves.
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:52
			And it's really not about him.
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:55
			Here's the point, we show the Prophet ﷺ
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:58
			respect because it reflects positively on us.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			It's about how we perceive and understand our
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:01
			deen.
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:05
			It's how we perceive and understand the teachings
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:06
			and the rulings within it.
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:09
			When you show your father respect, it's really
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:10
			not about your father.
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:14
			It reflects positively and negatively upon you.
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:20
			Someone who is publicly disrespecting their parents, it's
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:21
			not their parents that lose status.
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			It's the person who doesn't lose status.
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:27
			Because that's something that reflects poorly or positively
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:28
			on your character.
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:31
			How you deal with someone who gave you
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			a lot, who stood by you or is
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			revered and is deserving of respect.
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:38
			So Allah ﷻ is telling us, don't raise
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:39
			your voice above the voice of the Prophet
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:39
			ﷺ.
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			And don't call on him and yell at
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:43
			him as you would someone, a random person.
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:46
			It's so that it reflects positively on our
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:47
			manners.
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49
			It's that we learn to respect those who
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:49
			deserve respect.
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:53
			And this actually, the parallel can be drawn
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:56
			from the Prophet ﷺ to every teacher and
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			every person in your life who has offered
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			you help and stood by you and educated
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			you.
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:02
			And I think that's an important point to
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:03
			think about.
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			And the ayah after that continues, إِنَّ الَّذِينَ
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:09
			يَهُبُّونَ Those who lower their voice when they
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:10
			speak to the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:13
			Those are the ones whom Allah ﷻ has
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			filled their hearts with taqwa.
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:19
			And there's narrations that Abu Bakr and Umar
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			raised their voices once when they were speaking
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			to him ﷺ or around him.
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:24
			And then this ayah was revealed and they
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:25
			got extremely scared.
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:26
			And from that day on, Abu Bakr would
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:29
			always whisper in his presence ﷺ out of
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:29
			fear.
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:32
			And he would tell people, كِتُ أَهْلَكُ And
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34
			other Sahabas say, كَادَ يَهْلَكُ الْخَيِّرَان The two
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:38
			great men almost were punished for doing that,
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			for raising their voice amongst the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43
			The ayah continues and gives an example of
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:46
			people who came to visit him ﷺ, asking
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:47
			for fatwa or asking him questions.
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:49
			And instead of waiting for him to come
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51
			to the masjid for dhuhr or asr, they
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:55
			stood behind his house and started to call
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57
			upon him and yell his name, يَا أَبَالْقَاسِمِ
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:01
			disturbing him and his wives and the children.
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:04
			إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُنَادُونَكَ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْحُجُرَاتِ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:08
			يَعْقِلُونَ وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ صَبَرُوا حَتَّى تَخْرُجَ إِلَيْهِمْ لَكَانَ
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:12
			خَيْرًا لَهُمْ وَاللَّهُ وَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ Those who stood
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:15
			behind the rooms and started yelling and calling
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:16
			out their names, they don't know what they're
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:16
			doing.
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:18
			Had they waited for you to come out,
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:19
			that would have been better for them.
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21
			But Allah ﷻ is the most forgiving and
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:22
			most merciful.
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			It's the issue of adab and manners.
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:25
			When we come to a home, we don't
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:26
			stand in the backyard.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:27
			We don't enter without permission.
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:28
			We knock on the door.
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:29
			We stand behind.
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:31
			We wait for people to respond.
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:32
			And if they don't respond, we leave.
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:33
			These are the manners of Islam.
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			And they reflect the values of Islam.
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:37
			And they reflect character.
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:40
			If this cluster of surahs is talking about
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:45
			the Prophet ﷺ, following him in order for
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:48
			our deeds to be accepted, following him and
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:50
			seeing the consequences and the fruits of that
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:53
			followership, Surah Al-Hujurat gives us examples of
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			the characteristics of those who follow him ﷺ,
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			the manners that he actually taught, so that
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:02
			we're not continuously looking at the concept of
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:04
			following him ﷺ in a vague way.
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:05
			We're given specifics.
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:07
			And Surah Al-Hujurat is filled with specifics.
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:10
			It's the most high-density surah of commands
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:13
			and manners and rules and values that you'll
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:13
			find.
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:17
			Surah Al-Hujurat is the last surah in
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:20
			Surah Al-Kareem.
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:23
			It's the ninth surah that talks about the
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:26
			Prophet ﷺ, Muhammad and the opening of the
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:26
			Hujurat.
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:30
			It's the third surah that talks about the
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:31
			last surah, Surah Al-Hujurat.
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:36
			And if Surah Muhammad talks about following him
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:38
			ﷺ in order for our deeds to be
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:41
			accepted, and that he only commands us to
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:42
			do what is good for us, and that
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:46
			if we turn away from him ﷺ, our
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:47
			conditions will be ruined and we'll be replaced.
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:49
			And if Surah Al-Fatihh gives us examples
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:52
			of those who follow him ﷺ and what
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:55
			Allah has given them of gifts, then Surah
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:58
			Al-Hujurat gives us its manners.
		
00:07:58 --> 00:07:59
			What did he bring?
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:02
			What are the manners that we have to
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:03
			learn from him?
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:04
			And what are the manners that we have
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:07
			to deal with him and with everything that
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:08
			concerns him ﷺ?
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:10
			And this is Surah Al-Hujurat.
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			And perhaps it's the most surah in the
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:17
			Qur'an in terms of surahs in which
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:18
			there are commands.
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20
			Surah Al-Ma'idah may have more commands,
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:21
			but Surah Al-Ma'idah is much longer.
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:23
			And Surah Al-Hujurat is two and a
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:23
			half pages.
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:25
			Surah Al-Ma'idah is more than a
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:25
			part.
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:28
			So it's a very deep surah with divine
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:30
			commands and all of them are manners.
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:06
			And this manners is very important in religion.
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:07
			And maybe it's the most important command in
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:09
			the whole surah.
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:12
			And maybe it's the most important command in
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:12
			the whole surah.
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:15
			The next command is, Do not raise your
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:17
			voices above the voice of the Prophet.
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:19
			In a narration, some of the companions said,
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:22
			Abu Bakr and Umar were about to die.
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:27
			One day, they argued and raised their voices
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29
			in the presence of the Prophet.
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:31
			One day, they argued and raised their voices
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:31
			in the presence of the Prophet.
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:32
			This verse was revealed, Do not raise your
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:33
			voices above the voice of the Prophet.
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:34
			And do not speak loudly to him.
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:36
			Do not speak loudly to him.
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:40
			And do not speak loudly to any person.
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:41
			Why?
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:43
			Out of respect for his status.
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:45
			He does not need this from us.
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:48
			His status with Allah is known.
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:50
			But this indicates our manners.
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:55
			He does not harm his parents as much
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:57
			as he harms himself.
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			If people see him in the street harming
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:01
			his parents, they will not curse the two
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:03
			fathers, they will curse him.
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:06
			This is a reflection of his morals and
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:06
			manners.
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:09
			This is an important issue.
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:11
			We respect the Prophet, peace be upon him,
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:11
			and we glorify him.
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:13
			And we do not raise our voices against
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:13
			him.
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:15
			And we do not speak loudly to him.
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:17
			This indicates our manners.
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:19
			He, peace be upon him, does not care.
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:21
			He does not care whether you raise your
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:23
			voice or speak to him.
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:28
			He has reached a state of self-honor
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:30
			that he does not think about these issues.
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:32
			But this is for our sake.
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:33
			So that we can learn.
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:36
			See the verse, Your deeds will be in
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:36
			vain.
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:39
			If you do not pay attention, your deeds
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:40
			will be in vain.
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:42
			Indeed, those who lower their voices before the
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44
			Messenger of Allah are those whose hearts Allah
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:45
			has tested of piety.
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:48
			Then the next verse gives an example of
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:50
			the Arabs who came to him.
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:53
			So they stood behind his chambers.
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:54
			They called out to him, O Abu al
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:55
			-Qasim, O Abu al-Qasim, until he came
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:55
			out.
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:58
			They waited for him until he came to
		
00:10:58 --> 00:10:59
			pray, or until he came out of his
		
00:10:59 --> 00:10:59
			house.
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:02
			They called out to him and woke him
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:02
			up.
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:05
			Indeed, those who call you from behind the
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:06
			chambers, most of them do not believe, even
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:08
			if they were patient, until you came out
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:09
			to them, it would have been better for
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:09
			them.
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:10
			Manners.
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			If you come to the house, you do
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:13
			not enter without permission.
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:14
			You leave, you wait.
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:16
			If you do not open, you leave, you
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:17
			ask permission before entering.
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:18
			Manners.
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:21
			Manners reflect the real values of religion.
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:23
			They reflect what the Messenger of Allah came
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:23
			with.
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:27
			These values, these manners, reflect what the Messenger
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:27
			of Allah came with.
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:31
			So a Muslim who does not respect the
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33
			privileges of others, does not respect their houses,
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36
			and raises his voice against the elders, against
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:38
			the scholars, against their teachers, against their teachers,
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:39
			he is the one who does this.
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:43
			The Prophet did not really follow this.
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:45
			Glory be to Allah, this Surah came after
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:50
			two Surahs that taught us how to follow,
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:53
			and that following should reach the level of
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:54
			the soul, and that there is a reward
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:56
			for following, and it gives us the essence
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:57
			of this following.
		
00:11:58 --> 00:11:59
			So the one who violates manners, is not
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:02
			a follower of the Prophet, peace and blessings
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:02
			be upon him.
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:03
			Rather, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:05
			him, is all manners, and he taught us
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:09
			manners, and we should have a share of
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:09
			this.
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:13
			The verses after that, there is an ayah
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:14
			that is extremely intriguing.
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:16
			He says, subhanahu wa ta'ala, يَا لَذِينَ
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:19
			آمَنُوا إِنْ جَاءَكُمْ فَاسِخٌ بِنَبَى It is giving
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:20
			us a new adab, when you are given
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:21
			information.
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:23
			When you are given information by someone, and
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			you don't have verification of that information, it
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:26
			is just hearsay.
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:28
			Someone said something to you about something happening,
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:30
			or something that was said or done.
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:33
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gives us the
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:36
			adab, فَتَبَيَّنُوا You need to go and validate
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:37
			and verify.
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:39
			You need to go and figure out, make
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:40
			sure that that actually happened.
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:43
			Before you act upon what you heard, before
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:45
			you take a stand, before you change your
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:47
			opinion, before you have a change of heart,
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50
			even when it comes to your emotion, before
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:51
			you have a change of heart towards a
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:53
			person that you just heard something about, you
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:54
			need to go and make sure that what
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:56
			was said to you is the truth.
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:58
			That is your job, that is your...
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:00
			If you say, well, I didn't ask, then
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:01
			you shouldn't have listened.
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:04
			You shouldn't let people give information if you
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:06
			are not willing to verify and make sure
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:08
			that what you are hearing is truthful.
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:12
			فَتَبَيَّنُوا أَن تُصِيبُوا قَوْمًا بِجَهَالَةٍ فَتُصْبِحُوا عَلَىٰ مَا
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:14
			أَفَعَلْتُمْ نَادِمِينَ Because if you don't, then you
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:16
			may make the wrong decision.
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:23
			You may harm someone, oppress them unlawfully and
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:24
			inappropriately.
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:26
			And then you'll regret, but at that point,
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:28
			things have already gone out of hand.
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:31
			The adab of dealing with information, the adab
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:34
			of dealing with what you hear from what
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:35
			other people have done or said to you
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:37
			in your life, extremely important.
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:41
			He says سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ وَأَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ فِيكُمْ رَسُولَ
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:43
			اللَّهِ And know amongst you is the Prophet
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:44
			ﷺ.
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:45
			That was literal for the people who lived
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:47
			with him and it's figurative for us who
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:48
			come after him ﷺ.
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:51
			He is still amongst us, not with his
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:52
			body, not physically, but with what he taught
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			ﷺ and with these manners that we're going
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:55
			to learn in this surah.
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:57
			This is his legacy.
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:59
			His legacies are the values and the manners
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:00
			that we took from him ﷺ.
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:02
			And if that's not with us, then I'm
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:03
			not sure exactly what is.
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:08
			لَوْ يُطِيعُكُمْ فِي كَثِيرٍ مِّنَ الْأَمْرِ لَعَنِدْتُمْ وَلَكِنَّ
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:12
			اللَّهَ حَبَّبَ إِلَيْكُمُ الْإِيمَانَ وَزَيَّنَهُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ وَكَرَّهَ
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:16
			إِلَيْكُمُ الْكُفْرَ وَالْفُسُوءَ وَالْعَصِيَانَ أُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْرَاشِدُونَ
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:20
			فَضْلًا مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَنِعْمَةٍ If the Prophet ﷺ
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:24
			obeyed you or followed in the steps of
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:26
			the people around him would have caused us
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:28
			all to lose and we'd all be in
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:31
			a state of loss But Allah ﷻ helped
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:32
			the Sahaba and filled their hearts with the
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:34
			love of Iman and that allowed them to
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:37
			follow him ﷺ and change these manners and
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:39
			change these values and behave differently and behave
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:43
			more accordingly in accordance to what he taught
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:46
			ﷺ The adab right after that It talks
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:48
			about the adab of khilaf when two groups
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:52
			or two people quarrel وَإِن طَائِفَتَانِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:56
			قَتَتَلُوا فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَهُمَا We are asked to mend
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:58
			the relationships of two people or two groups
		
00:14:58 --> 00:15:01
			who have quarreled who have a dispute who
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:03
			have a heavy disagreement that is causing people
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:07
			to misjudge one another or mistreat one another
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:11
			إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ Ikhwa, this is the adab Remembering
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:13
			that all believers are brothers So when we
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:16
			disagree or we have a dispute or when
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:18
			there's a difficulty between two people then it's
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:21
			the obligation of those surrounding them to actually
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:24
			come to the rescue It's hard for two
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:25
			people who are fighting to fix the problem
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:27
			on their own They are in the zone
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:29
			They're in the hot zone at that point
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:32
			They're fighting They can't fix this They need
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:35
			outsiders to come and do that And that's
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:37
			the obligation of the movement because we're all
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:39
			brothers You don't see two people fighting and
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:40
			say it's not my problem and walk away
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:43
			That's not Islamic There's no adab there That's
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:45
			lacking adab If you see two people fighting
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:47
			or two groups that are It's our obligation
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:50
			as Muslims to interfere and to find a
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:54
			way to bring people together and to fix
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:57
			this dispute and to end it And the
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:59
			verses in Surah Al-Hujurat are very specific
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:00
			talking about that and you don't really find
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:03
			another example of that anywhere else in the
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:07
			Qur'an Some social adab that come right
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:09
			after that in the Surah يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:13
			آمَنُوا لَا يَسْخَرْ قَوْمٌ مِّنْ قَوْمٍ عَسَىٰ أَن
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:16
			يَكُونُوا خَيْرًا مِّنْهُمْ وَلَا نِسَاءٌ مِّنْ نِسَاءٌ عَسَىٰ
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:21
			أَن يَكُونُّ خَيْرًا مِّنْهُمْ وَلَا تَلْمِزُوا أَنفُسَكُمْ وَلَا
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:25
			تَنَابَزُوا بِالْأَلْقَاءِ بِئْسَ لِسْمُ الْفُسُوقُ بَعْدَ الْإِيمَانِ يَا
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:28
			أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا جِتَنِبُوا كَثِيرًا مِّنَ الظَّنِّ إِنَّ
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:32
			بَعْدَ الظَّنِّ إِثْمٌ وَلَا تَجَسَّسُوا وَلَا يَغْتَبْ بَعْدُكُمْ
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:58
			بَعْدَ a
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:00
			bit more frequently in those realms when they're
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:02
			talking about one another beware of mocking and
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:06
			putting down others there's no adab there the
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:08
			manner of holding our tongues and not mocking
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:12
			and not ridiculing other people وَلَا تَلْمِزُوا أَنفُسَكُمْ
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:16
			and don't whisper about one another and don't
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:19
			speak secretly about one another وَلَا تَنَابَزُوا بِالْأَلْقَاءِ
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:22
			and don't call people names يَجِتَنِبُوا كَثِيرًا مِّنَ
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:25
			الظَّنِّ إِنَّ بَعْدَ الظَّنِّ إِثْمٌ don't have bad
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:30
			assumptions about other people bad assumptions don't help
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:32
			you they do nothing for you it's just
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:34
			fun to have a bad assumption and then
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:36
			talk about it with someone else it's juicy
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:38
			gossip is a lot of fun that's why
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:43
			they command right after that وَلَا تَجَسَسُوا وَلَا
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:45
			يَغْتَبْ بَعْدُكُمْ بَعْدَ and do not gossip أَيُّ
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:48
			حِبُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَن يَأْكُلَ لَحْمَ أَخِيهِ مَيْتًا would
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:50
			someone want to eat the dead corpse of
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:53
			his brother then no, don't speak about them
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:56
			behind their back these are أَدَب again, without
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:57
			these أَدَب, what do we have that's his
		
00:17:57 --> 00:18:00
			legacy عليه الصلاة والسلام he didn't build buildings
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:04
			he didn't leave this he left عليه الصلاة
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:06
			والسلام what he left us were values and
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:08
			manners and these are the manners we're supposed
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:11
			to have do not mock, do not ridicule
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:13
			do not make fun of people call people
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:17
			names that they don't like don't spy, don't
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:21
			have bad assumptions and don't gossip ثُمَّ سُبْحَانَهُ
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:25
			وَتَعَالَى he gives us أَدَب he talks about
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:29
			later أَدَب the first أَدَب after the أَدَب
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:31
			of dealing with the Prophet عليه الصلاة والسلام
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:34
			أَدَب التعامل مع الأخبار إِنْ جَاءَكُمْ فَاسِقٌ بِنَا
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:37
			بَإِنْ فَتَبَيَّنُوا if you hear a news, make
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:39
			sure of it you say, I don't have
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:40
			time make sure, then you don't hear the
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:43
			news it is not permissible for you to
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:45
			hear a news and you act according to
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:47
			this news and you change the state of
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:49
			your heart or you change your opinion or
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:51
			you change your opinion based on a news
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:53
			that you can't be sure of or you
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:57
			can't be sure of and if you take
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:59
			a news make sure that this news is
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:02
			true or you don't hear it because this
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:05
			أَدَب is very important and it is clear
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:08
			in the Qur'an ثُمَّ يَتَحَدِّلْ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:11
			وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ فِيكُمْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ this is literally
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:13
			for the companions and it is permissible for
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:16
			us but what is between us this is
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:18
			an important verse in the surah between us
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:20
			is what he left of values, morals and
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:21
			etiquette and it is not between us with
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:24
			his noble body but with his etiquette and
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:26
			if we don't take this etiquette what did
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:29
			we take from him if we don't have
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:34
			these values what did we take from him
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:36
			if he lost you in a lot of
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:40
			things you cursed him if he obeyed us
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:44
			you cursed us you destroyed us but Allah
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:47
			loved the faith of the Muslims and we
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:49
			followed him peace be upon him then after
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:52
			that, the etiquette of disagreement if the brothers
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:54
			of two sects of believers disagreed, they should
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:56
			make amends it is obligatory to make amends
		
00:19:56 --> 00:20:01
			if people disagree they can't make amends the
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:03
			person who disagrees with another person he is
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:07
			in a state of anger and embarrassment he
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:11
			needs a good person as they say and
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:15
			this is obligatory for Muslims Muslims shouldn't see
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:19
			two groups of Muslims and then disagree and
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:21
			say this is none of your business if
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:23
			this is not your business then what is
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:26
			our business the believers are brothers this is
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:29
			the important value so make amends between your
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:35
			brothers and fear Allah then the social etiquette
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:37
			don't make fun of people don't make fun
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:40
			of people I'm not talking about making fun
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:44
			of each other I'm talking about making fun
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:51
			of a person to make people laugh especially
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:54
			women they don't do this this happens a
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:56
			lot when we talk about each other they
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:59
			pay attention to this matter this is a
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:01
			bad etiquette this is not the value of
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:31
			religion if
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:34
			we have to make amends we should do
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:37
			it only when we are married or have
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:53
			children but instead make amends the
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:55
			verse is right after that talk about a
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:58
			different type of etiquette it expands the manners
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:00
			of Islam It started with the adab with
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:02
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's commands, and then
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:05
			with the Prophet ﷺ personality, and then with
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:07
			pieces of news, and then with your brothers
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:09
			when they have disputes, and then general social
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:13
			manners, and now manners with humanity, with the
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:15
			full human race, everything around you.
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:18
			يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ مِّن ذَكَرٍ وَأُنثَىٰ
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:23
			وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلًا لِتَعَارَفُوا إِنَّ أَكْرَامَكُمْ عِنْدَ
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:27
			اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ O humankind,
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:31
			O mankind, indeed we have created you from
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:33
			male and female, and we have made you
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:38
			populations and nations, لِتَعَارَفُوا so that you may
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:40
			get to know one another, so that you
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:42
			may benefit from one another.
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:45
			It's not so that civilizations collide and clash,
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:48
			it's so that civilizations feed off each other,
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:50
			so that this diversity actually helps us become
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:50
			better.
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:51
			This is what the Qur'an is teaching,
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:53
			this is the adab that we're supposed to
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:53
			have.
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:54
			We're supposed to cherish the fact that we're
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:57
			different, celebrate the fact that we're diverse.
		
00:22:58 --> 00:22:59
			Everyone has a different culture and different...
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:02
			We dress differently, eat differently, we salute and
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:04
			greet each other differently.
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:07
			That is something to be celebrated, not to
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:07
			be frowned upon.
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:10
			Islam is not trying to make everyone look
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:11
			and act...
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:12
			No, exactly the same way.
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:14
			It's not trying to turn everything to the
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:16
			same color and the same picture, no.
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:17
			Whatever you have...
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:21
			We are different populations, different nations, different people.
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:24
			And those differences are to be respected.
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:27
			إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ The best of
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:28
			you are the ones who have most taqwa,
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:30
			has nothing to do with the color of
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:31
			your skin, doesn't have nothing to do with
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:33
			your tongue, what part of the world you
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:34
			come from, how much money you have, what
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:35
			family name...
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:36
			None of that matters.
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:38
			What matters is how much taqwa you have.
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:40
			The rest of it is respected because Allah
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:41
			created it.
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:44
			This is the adab, this anti-racism statement
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:46
			that exists in the middle of this surah.
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:52
			It's actually very beautiful and amazing that in
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:53
			a surah that Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:54
			-A'la is telling us, this is the
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:55
			legacy of your Prophet.
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:57
			If you're going to follow him, these things
		
00:23:57 --> 00:23:58
			have to be a part of who you
		
00:23:58 --> 00:23:58
			are.
		
00:23:58 --> 00:23:59
			And right in the middle of the surah,
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:01
			this anti-racism statement.
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:06
			I mean, if anything tells you about what
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:08
			Islam is about, then that should be it.
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:10
			That definitely should be it.
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:14
			The next verse is adab with humanity.
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:18
			The first verses were adab with Allah, and
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:19
			adab with the Prophet, peace and blessings be
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:19
			upon him.
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:22
			Then adab with the news, then adab with
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:25
			the brotherhood, then the general social adab.
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:30
			Now it's adab with all people, as a
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:32
			whole, as a being of those who were.
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:35
			يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ مِنْ ذَكَرٍ وَإِنَّا
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:39
			وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلًا لَتَعَارَفُوا إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِنْدَ
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:44
			اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ This is the anti-racism statement
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:45
			found in surah Al-Hujurat.
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:51
			The surah that teaches us what the Messenger
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:52
			of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him,
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:54
			It shortens for us the adab with which
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:56
			we deal with him, and with which he
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:58
			dealt with people, and with which he left
		
00:24:58 --> 00:24:59
			it for us, so that we may deviate
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:00
			from it.
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:02
			You will find in the middle of the
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:06
			surah, a verse that becomes a constitution for
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:08
			people to deal with others.
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:10
			All human beings are created from the same
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:11
			male and female.
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:13
			And if their nations and tribes are many,
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:18
			then their cultures, colors, tongues, customs, and traditions
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:18
			differ.
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:21
			This is only due to beauty, and all
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:21
			of this is from Allah.
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:24
			And it is not a reason for people
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:27
			to hate each other, and their black or
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:30
			white, or their red or yellow, this does
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:31
			not change their state.
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:33
			Allah's generosity is through piety.
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:37
			This hateful racism that we still suffer from
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:41
			in our countries, even among the people of
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:44
			the same village, or the same city, or
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:47
			even within the same family, this is a
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:47
			big problem.
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:50
			This is not what Muhammad, peace and blessings
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:51
			be upon him, This is not the adab
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:53
			that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:56
			him, We disobeyed him in everything he taught
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:56
			us.
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:01
			Towards the end of the surah, and I'll
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:05
			end with this, Allah gives us a specific
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:08
			adab that we should have with him, not
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:10
			with his deen as it is in the
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:13
			beginning of it, or with the Prophet, the
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:18
			ayah says, يَمُنُّونَ عَلَيْكَ أَن أَسْلَمُ They are
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:20
			saying to you that you owe them somehow
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:22
			because they accepted Islam and stood by you?
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:26
			Is that what they're referring to in the
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:27
			way that they're speaking to you?
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:30
			Making it feel as if somehow you're in
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:31
			debt to them because they decided to accept
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:34
			Islam earlier on and stand by you when
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:34
			things were difficult?
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:39
			قُلْ لَا تَمُنُّ عَلَيْيَ إِسْلَامَكُمْ Don't draw a
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:41
			favor of being a Muslim to me.
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:42
			You're not doing me a favor by doing
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:43
			this.
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:48
			بَلِ اللَّهُ يَمُنُّ عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ هَدَاكُمْ لِلإِيمَانِ The
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:51
			truth of the matter is that Allah's favor
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:52
			is upon you that He guided you to
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:54
			believe and to faith and to Islam.
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:57
			If you're truthful about what you're doing if
		
00:26:57 --> 00:27:00
			we truly believe in Him and follow Him
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:03
			and Islam is our life then there is
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:05
			no favor that we have upon anybody.
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:08
			You teach someone the Deen you shouldn't feel
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:09
			that they owe you anything.
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:12
			You guide someone to Islam you shouldn't feel
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:13
			that they owe you anything.
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:16
			We shouldn't feel that anybody owes us anything
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:18
			because we all owe it to Allah that
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:20
			guided us to this in the first place.
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:21
			This adab.
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:23
			When we look at Islam and we look
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:25
			at what we've done in our lives, we
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:27
			see it as a gift from God rather
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:27
			than me, me, me.
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:28
			I did it.
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:29
			I achieved.
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:30
			I was able to do.
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:31
			I, I, I.
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:34
			That's a lack of adab.
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:37
			Those who sit there and talk about their
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:39
			accomplishments and what they've been able to do
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:40
			and I did this and I was able
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:42
			to do that watch out.
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:43
			Watch out.
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:44
			There's lack of adab here.
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:46
			There's lack of good manners.
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:49
			Allah is the one, subhanahu wa ta'ala,
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:49
			who gave you all of it.
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:51
			Remember that and word that out.
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:53
			That's why the Muslim how are you?
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:54
			Alhamdulillah.
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:56
			You see him five minutes later, how are
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:56
			you?
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:56
			Alhamdulillah.
		
00:27:57 --> 00:27:58
			Because the praise ought to be to God.
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:00
			Praise ought to be to God, not to
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:00
			me.
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:01
			Not to anyone.
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:04
			That final adab in the surah is extremely,
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:05
			extremely ...
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:08
			Try and teach Allah about your own Deen.
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:09
			Listen and learn.
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:10
			Listen.
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:10
			...
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:12
			Allah knows all.
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:14
			So listen and learn from him.
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:14
			Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:17
			I'll end with that inshallah.
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:20
			We'll continue with the new cluster of surahs
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:21
			next time.
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:21
			...
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:24
			...
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:27
			...
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:29
			Jazakumullah khairun.
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:29
