It's a blessed night in the law of
barakah, and this night in the sunnah, is
to increase your salah upon the Prophet, alayhi
salatu wassalam, in every good deed.

This is a little bit of a story.

Now, the phrase itself, tells you a lot
about this person's level of education, and maybe
even comprehension.
Because what would the Prophet, alayhi salatu wassalam,
teach aside from khair?
When did he ever teach anything else so
what he's asking for is extremely simplistic and
it just so the Prophet immediately noticed this
like the wording of this man is a
very generic term it almost yeah he has
no there's really no meat to it and
there's really no use there's no reason for
him to use the phrase the way he
did and it just immediately it tells you
something about this person's kind of level of
understanding things so I love this he speaks
to people based on how he's not interested
in being the smartest person in the room
if that makes sense if anyone understands what
but what that kind of he's not interested
in showing off his his intellectual abilities he
doesn't he doesn't he doesn't want to make
the person who's listening to him or or
learning from him feel that a huge gap
between between even though he is but he
made sure that that was never the case
which is why people loved him.
He was not interested in that showing-off
piece which a lot of us sometimes will
fall into that trap you know but I
didn't be Khairan, he smiled, he took his
hand he took his hand like this, his
hand was open, subhanallah, walhamdulillah, wa la ilaha
illallah, wa allahu akbar, like this so the
Arabi walked away like this holding the four
in his hands, walking away, and then the
Arabi walking away he stopped he turned around
and he walked back the Prophet smiled, so
this is a very interesting phrase in the
hadith in English we use terms sometimes and
we don't mean them in a derogatory manner
but we mean them in a form of
joking so al-ba'is is someone who's
miserable right so he didn't mean that this
man was miserable but it was just it's
like a scoundrel if you say something like
that tafakkar al-ba'is means the scoundrel
thought of something he has a he had
another question he's coming back so he meant
it in a joking manner some of the
sahaba joked, they laughed, so he came back,
his hand is still like this subhanallah, walhamdulillah,
wa la ilaha illallah, wa allahu akbar, hadhihi
lillah all these things, subhanallah is of course
I can't even begin to explain this in
Arabic but it's the form of exalting God
and the linguistics here are extremely interesting but
it's not for this halaqa or for this
khatira we praise Allah there is no God
and deity but Allah, Allah is the greatest
is it all for God what's for me
like what's in it for me there's nothing
in this for me, so he took his
other hand alayhis salatu was salam, if
you
say these things you say subhanallah Allah says
that is the truth you say la ilaha
illallah that is the truth when each of
these four you say them Allah responds to
you and says yes that is the truth
when you say oh Allah forgive me Allah
says yes I have done that I will
do it and if you say oh Allah
show your compassion to me smother me with
your empathy he will say I have done
that and if you say oh Allah provide
for me he will say I have done
that the Arab walked away with seven with
seven points on his hands with four in
one and three in the other he wanted
khair he walked away right now with khair
the simplicity of what he just taught him
alayhis salatu was salam didn't need the fancy
flashy concepts the deep philosophical quotes and the
twists to every no no just it's very
simple you want khair say subhanallah wa alhamdulillah
wa la ilaha illallah wa allahu akbar and
they say Allahumma ghafir li, Allahumma arhamni, Allahumma
arzuqni and you've walked away with all the
khair that exists in this world Islam is
not designed to be complicated it never was
supposed to be it's not supposed to be
complicated it's actually quite simple we complicate it
with our lack of understanding we complicate it
with our lack of adherence with our lack
of compliance with our lack of sincerity in
what we say and what we do a
simple Arab walked away with seven points he
walked away with all of the riches in
the world and he stuck to it then
he he's better off than anyone else who
ever lived and I find I find his
I just find the Prophet's humbleness and humility
and closeness to the people to be something
that we lack we lack we lack a
little bit of this we lack a little
bit of that ease that humility that closeness
and we tend to over-complicate things that
are not designed to be such it's not
it's simpler than we think inshallah after this
khatir is Dr. Jibran here is he giving
it so he'll be giving jazakallah khair sorry
I was waiting to see you so he's
going to be giving a lecture please stick
around and listen to it we're blessed with
his presence may Allah bless him inshallah for
doing this for us foreign
