And the theme of the unlawfulness of harm
is what we're talking about. And I've narrated
for you 3 or 4 hadith so far
about this.
And what I'm trying to explain establish for
you is that any form of harm is
a problem for you on the day of
judgment. No matter how small it is, no
matter how
simple it is, no matter how trivial you
may feel it is, any aspect, any form
of harm, any degree of harm is something
that you're going to have to put yeah.
Any be you're you're gonna have to answer
for an idea of judgment. As a Muslim,
you your number 1 priority in terms of
people is that you don't cause harm. You
You have priorities with Allah in terms of
your relationship with Allah and and and obeying
and rituals. When it comes to people, the
number 1 thing is you don't cause harm.
And this is something that's well established in
our deen and in the Quran. The sunnah,
I'm trying to stop I explained that to
you and and just and demonstrate it for
you. And the hadith tonight is very famous.
You you know this hadith, but I cannot
it's impossible for me to go through a
series of the unlawfulness of harm and then
not narrate this hadith that I have to
do do it at some point. So I
thought I would do it at I mean,
somewhere in the middle. So he said, alayhis
thought to some, this hadith narrated by Muslim,
to the Sahaba. I said,
Do you know who is bankrupt?
But the answer to him
the person who has no no, assets,
has no, no liquidity, no wealth, no money,
doesn't have a dirham, which is made of
of of silver, a dinar, which is made
of gold. He has no gold or silver.
He has nothing. Have no buying power. That's
what a muful is a bankrupt person is.
So
he repeated the question again. So they repeated
the answer and they repeated the question again
and they repeated the answer. He was giving
them a chance to see something see something
different
and they didn't. So then he said,
and
use the word.
Right? And the the person from my
the person who comes to day of judgment
And I'm you and I use this wording
in, 1 of the narrations. There's 3 narrations
for this hadith. I'm gonna choose 1 of
them. He said,
In this hadith, that's the wording that the
the narrator gave us. He comes on the
day of judgement and he he performed salah
and he performed qiyam
and he actually did he prayed at night.
He would get up at night and pray
So not just the 5 prayers. This person
went 1 step further and they did And
they paid their
but they come.
And they have hit this person.
And they cursed out this person.
And they took took the wealth of this
person person.
And they have shed the blood of this
person.
And they and and they ruined the integrity
of this person.
And then every each of each person who
was harmed is going to take away from
from this person's good deeds
Hasanat.
Once their his Hasanat runs out, they start
shoveling
the the other people's bad deeds and putting
it on his scale. So he's getting bad
deeds.
And that is the bankrupt person
from the ummah of the prophet
from this nation.
So the bankrupt person of this nation is
not the person who has no wealth,
who doesn't have, yeah, any money.
Bank account is empty. The bankrupt person is
the day person who comes on day of
judgment,
and they have caused so much harm to
people that they lose all of their saiyanat.
And then they take on saiyanat they didn't
do, and then now they only all they
have is saiyanat, and now they deserve the
hellfire. Even though they came in with salah
and and
Zakat. It's just that that's gonna be taken
away from them because you owe something. From
Duniya, you owe something. There's no currency, you
know, to pay back in Duniya if I
harm you,
I I can figure out some way to
fix it. What what what is it worth?
How much do you want? How much do
you want to drop this? And I can
pay you. Even it could it could be
expensive in terms of money, but it's money.
Right? It's it's way less expensive than hasanat
because the currency of Mirkiyam is hasanat and
sayyat. And if you owe people something, that
is what you're gonna be paying through.
So, yes, you prayed and you should be
entering Jannah because of the prayers that you
have, but they're not yours. Because you you
have debt that you haven't paid. You're gonna
pay them back with those. Now you have
nothing to allow you to enter anymore. Because
if you come and you trespass and you
transgress against the the rituals of Allah.
Our lord is extremely forgiving, very merciful. If
you come, you missed a prayer here, you
missed something there, he'll forgive
you. He's
the most merciful. He will forgive you inshallah.
You will you will find forgiveness, but people
aren't people aren't forgiving. People are not forgive
people are not merciful.
Human beings are very stingy when you harm
them. Look at yourself when you're harmed and
tell me how easy it is for you,
how quick are you to forgive people until
when you're harmed. I have people that I'm
I'm they're going to stand,
I let go of it in Dunia.
They're gonna stand, and I ain't going nowhere
until we stand there and that and and
what happened is rectified, and I take what
is mine.
And I take what I don't see myself
ever being able to forgive them, and I'm
gonna take back what is mine. That's how
we are as human beings. Make sure you're
not on the wrong side of that transaction,
because the currency that you pay with is
is insanely expensive.
It's insanely
expensive.
And that's the bankrupt
person of the nation of Muhammad alayhi salawat
wa sallam. The person who
comes and there's nothing left in their scales.
Because, yes, they came with good deeds, but
they
they harmed people and they didn't fix it
and that harm
All debts are gonna be paid,
Think about that. All debts are gonna be
paid, even the smallest ones.
So if you've caused harm and you didn't
rectify it, you didn't look for ways to
fix it, then it
could be a scary thing. And I think
that's a
a worthy reminder for all of us as
Muslims and it's something the prophet
took time to explain to his companions, and
I hope that was a benefit to you.
