And the theme of the unlawfulness of harm

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

is what we're talking about. And I've narrated

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

for you 3 or 4 hadith so far

00:00:20 --> 00:00:21

about this.

00:00:21 --> 00:00:23

And what I'm trying to explain establish for

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

you is that any form of harm is

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

a problem for you on the day of

00:00:27 --> 00:00:28

judgment. No matter how small it is, no

00:00:28 --> 00:00:29

matter how

00:00:29 --> 00:00:31

simple it is, no matter how trivial you

00:00:31 --> 00:00:33

may feel it is, any aspect, any form

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

of harm, any degree of harm is something

00:00:35 --> 00:00:36

that you're going to have to put yeah.

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

Any be you're you're gonna have to answer

00:00:38 --> 00:00:40

for an idea of judgment. As a Muslim,

00:00:40 --> 00:00:43

you your number 1 priority in terms of

00:00:43 --> 00:00:45

people is that you don't cause harm. You

00:00:45 --> 00:00:47

You have priorities with Allah in terms of

00:00:47 --> 00:00:49

your relationship with Allah and and and obeying

00:00:49 --> 00:00:51

and rituals. When it comes to people, the

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

number 1 thing is you don't cause harm.

00:00:53 --> 00:00:55

And this is something that's well established in

00:00:55 --> 00:00:57

our deen and in the Quran. The sunnah,

00:00:57 --> 00:00:58

I'm trying to stop I explained that to

00:00:58 --> 00:01:00

you and and just and demonstrate it for

00:01:00 --> 00:01:02

you. And the hadith tonight is very famous.

00:01:02 --> 00:01:03

You you know this hadith, but I cannot

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

it's impossible for me to go through a

00:01:06 --> 00:01:08

series of the unlawfulness of harm and then

00:01:08 --> 00:01:09

not narrate this hadith that I have to

00:01:09 --> 00:01:11

do do it at some point. So I

00:01:11 --> 00:01:12

thought I would do it at I mean,

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14

somewhere in the middle. So he said, alayhis

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16

thought to some, this hadith narrated by Muslim,

00:01:17 --> 00:01:19

to the Sahaba. I said,

00:01:20 --> 00:01:21

Do you know who is bankrupt?

00:01:22 --> 00:01:24

But the answer to him

00:01:25 --> 00:01:27

the person who has no no, assets,

00:01:28 --> 00:01:31

has no, no liquidity, no wealth, no money,

00:01:31 --> 00:01:33

doesn't have a dirham, which is made of

00:01:33 --> 00:01:35

of of silver, a dinar, which is made

00:01:35 --> 00:01:36

of gold. He has no gold or silver.

00:01:36 --> 00:01:39

He has nothing. Have no buying power. That's

00:01:39 --> 00:01:41

what a muful is a bankrupt person is.

00:01:41 --> 00:01:42

So

00:01:42 --> 00:01:45

he repeated the question again. So they repeated

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47

the answer and they repeated the question again

00:01:47 --> 00:01:48

and they repeated the answer. He was giving

00:01:48 --> 00:01:49

them a chance to see something see something

00:01:49 --> 00:01:50

different

00:01:50 --> 00:01:52

and they didn't. So then he said,

00:01:52 --> 00:01:53

and

00:01:54 --> 00:01:55

use the word.

00:01:55 --> 00:01:57

Right? And the the person from my

00:02:01 --> 00:02:02

the person who comes to day of judgment

00:02:03 --> 00:02:04

And I'm you and I use this wording

00:02:04 --> 00:02:07

in, 1 of the narrations. There's 3 narrations

00:02:07 --> 00:02:08

for this hadith. I'm gonna choose 1 of

00:02:08 --> 00:02:09

them. He said,

00:02:12 --> 00:02:14

In this hadith, that's the wording that the

00:02:14 --> 00:02:15

the narrator gave us. He comes on the

00:02:15 --> 00:02:17

day of judgement and he he performed salah

00:02:18 --> 00:02:19

and he performed qiyam

00:02:19 --> 00:02:21

and he actually did he prayed at night.

00:02:21 --> 00:02:23

He would get up at night and pray

00:02:23 --> 00:02:25

So not just the 5 prayers. This person

00:02:25 --> 00:02:28

went 1 step further and they did And

00:02:28 --> 00:02:29

they paid their

00:02:30 --> 00:02:31

but they come.

00:02:33 --> 00:02:35

And they have hit this person.

00:02:36 --> 00:02:37

And they cursed out this person.

00:02:39 --> 00:02:40

And they took took the wealth of this

00:02:40 --> 00:02:41

person person.

00:02:43 --> 00:02:44

And they have shed the blood of this

00:02:44 --> 00:02:45

person.

00:02:46 --> 00:02:48

And they and and they ruined the integrity

00:02:48 --> 00:02:49

of this person.

00:02:54 --> 00:02:56

And then every each of each person who

00:02:56 --> 00:02:57

was harmed is going to take away from

00:02:57 --> 00:02:59

from this person's good deeds

00:03:00 --> 00:03:01

Hasanat.

00:03:04 --> 00:03:07

Once their his Hasanat runs out, they start

00:03:07 --> 00:03:08

shoveling

00:03:08 --> 00:03:10

the the other people's bad deeds and putting

00:03:10 --> 00:03:13

it on his scale. So he's getting bad

00:03:13 --> 00:03:14

deeds.

00:03:23 --> 00:03:25

And that is the bankrupt person

00:03:25 --> 00:03:27

from the ummah of the prophet

00:03:27 --> 00:03:28

from this nation.

00:03:29 --> 00:03:30

So the bankrupt person of this nation is

00:03:30 --> 00:03:32

not the person who has no wealth,

00:03:32 --> 00:03:34

who doesn't have, yeah, any money.

00:03:34 --> 00:03:36

Bank account is empty. The bankrupt person is

00:03:36 --> 00:03:38

the day person who comes on day of

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

judgment,

00:03:38 --> 00:03:41

and they have caused so much harm to

00:03:41 --> 00:03:43

people that they lose all of their saiyanat.

00:03:44 --> 00:03:46

And then they take on saiyanat they didn't

00:03:46 --> 00:03:48

do, and then now they only all they

00:03:48 --> 00:03:49

have is saiyanat, and now they deserve the

00:03:49 --> 00:03:52

hellfire. Even though they came in with salah

00:03:52 --> 00:03:53

and and

00:03:53 --> 00:03:55

Zakat. It's just that that's gonna be taken

00:03:55 --> 00:03:57

away from them because you owe something. From

00:03:57 --> 00:03:59

Duniya, you owe something. There's no currency, you

00:03:59 --> 00:04:01

know, to pay back in Duniya if I

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

harm you,

00:04:03 --> 00:04:04

I I can figure out some way to

00:04:04 --> 00:04:06

fix it. What what what is it worth?

00:04:06 --> 00:04:07

How much do you want? How much do

00:04:07 --> 00:04:09

you want to drop this? And I can

00:04:09 --> 00:04:11

pay you. Even it could it could be

00:04:11 --> 00:04:13

expensive in terms of money, but it's money.

00:04:13 --> 00:04:16

Right? It's it's way less expensive than hasanat

00:04:16 --> 00:04:18

because the currency of Mirkiyam is hasanat and

00:04:18 --> 00:04:20

sayyat. And if you owe people something, that

00:04:20 --> 00:04:22

is what you're gonna be paying through.

00:04:22 --> 00:04:24

So, yes, you prayed and you should be

00:04:24 --> 00:04:26

entering Jannah because of the prayers that you

00:04:26 --> 00:04:28

have, but they're not yours. Because you you

00:04:28 --> 00:04:30

have debt that you haven't paid. You're gonna

00:04:30 --> 00:04:31

pay them back with those. Now you have

00:04:31 --> 00:04:33

nothing to allow you to enter anymore. Because

00:04:33 --> 00:04:36

if you come and you trespass and you

00:04:36 --> 00:04:38

transgress against the the rituals of Allah.

00:04:41 --> 00:04:44

Our lord is extremely forgiving, very merciful. If

00:04:44 --> 00:04:45

you come, you missed a prayer here, you

00:04:45 --> 00:04:46

missed something there, he'll forgive

00:04:47 --> 00:04:48

you. He's

00:04:50 --> 00:04:52

the most merciful. He will forgive you inshallah.

00:04:52 --> 00:04:54

You will you will find forgiveness, but people

00:04:54 --> 00:04:58

aren't people aren't forgiving. People are not forgive

00:04:58 --> 00:04:59

people are not merciful.

00:04:59 --> 00:05:01

Human beings are very stingy when you harm

00:05:01 --> 00:05:04

them. Look at yourself when you're harmed and

00:05:04 --> 00:05:06

tell me how easy it is for you,

00:05:06 --> 00:05:08

how quick are you to forgive people until

00:05:08 --> 00:05:10

when you're harmed. I have people that I'm

00:05:10 --> 00:05:11

I'm they're going to stand,

00:05:12 --> 00:05:13

I let go of it in Dunia.

00:05:13 --> 00:05:15

They're gonna stand, and I ain't going nowhere

00:05:15 --> 00:05:17

until we stand there and that and and

00:05:17 --> 00:05:19

what happened is rectified, and I take what

00:05:19 --> 00:05:20

is mine.

00:05:20 --> 00:05:22

And I take what I don't see myself

00:05:22 --> 00:05:24

ever being able to forgive them, and I'm

00:05:24 --> 00:05:26

gonna take back what is mine. That's how

00:05:26 --> 00:05:28

we are as human beings. Make sure you're

00:05:28 --> 00:05:29

not on the wrong side of that transaction,

00:05:30 --> 00:05:33

because the currency that you pay with is

00:05:33 --> 00:05:35

is insanely expensive.

00:05:35 --> 00:05:36

It's insanely

00:05:37 --> 00:05:37

expensive.

00:05:38 --> 00:05:39

And that's the bankrupt

00:05:40 --> 00:05:42

person of the nation of Muhammad alayhi salawat

00:05:42 --> 00:05:44

wa sallam. The person who

00:05:44 --> 00:05:46

comes and there's nothing left in their scales.

00:05:46 --> 00:05:48

Because, yes, they came with good deeds, but

00:05:48 --> 00:05:48

they

00:05:49 --> 00:05:51

they harmed people and they didn't fix it

00:05:51 --> 00:05:52

and that harm

00:05:54 --> 00:05:55

All debts are gonna be paid,

00:05:56 --> 00:05:58

Think about that. All debts are gonna be

00:05:58 --> 00:05:59

paid, even the smallest ones.

00:06:00 --> 00:06:02

So if you've caused harm and you didn't

00:06:02 --> 00:06:04

rectify it, you didn't look for ways to

00:06:04 --> 00:06:06

fix it, then it

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

could be a scary thing. And I think

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

that's a

00:06:09 --> 00:06:11

a worthy reminder for all of us as

00:06:11 --> 00:06:12

Muslims and it's something the prophet

00:06:12 --> 00:06:14

took time to explain to his companions, and

00:06:14 --> 00:06:15

I hope that was a benefit to you.
