00:00:59 --> 00:01:04
			First of all, I Praise Almighty
Allah subhana wa Tala. For His

			bear witness that Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:40
			been sent as the final messenger.
Through him Allah subhanho wa
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:43
			Taala has completed the
revelation, the cycle of prophecy,
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:49
			and he is the last messenger there
is no other messenger to come
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			after him. So let us
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:58
			listen to the message and role
model ourselves after the example
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:04
			of the messenger who lived by the
message of the Quran. personified
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:10
			the ideas and the teachings of the
Quran in the best way. Today, the
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:16
			world is going through a crisis,
most critical juncture, a lot of
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:22
			misery, a lot of suffering a lot
of the privation this pandemic is
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:30
			causing misery all over the world.
And as Muslims, we have a duty, to
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:37
			empathize, to develop empathy,
because Islam is all about feeling
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:43
			for humanity. Because humanity is
a single soul. You are your nurse
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:48
			Itakura bacame, a lady Holika
Coleman have seen Wahida or
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:49
			mankind.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:54
			Be conscious of your Lord who
created you all from a single
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:55
			soul.
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			This is repeated throughout in the
Quran
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:04
			to impress upon us that we need to
feel
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:08
			for the suffering for the grief of
others.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:14
			And this is what Rasulullah
sallallahu wasallam role modeled
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:20
			after in his whole life. He
empathize with the suffering
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			Rasulullah sallallahu sallam said
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:31
			muscle movement in a fatawa to him
Vitara Hobi him but atrophy muscle
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:31
			just
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:38
			the example of the believers in
their affection for one another in
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:44
			their empathy and mercy for one
another is like a single body
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:49
			living body. If one part is
affected, is suffering, the rest
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:55
			of the body feels that pain and
grieves for it.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:01
			And that is why one of the great
Sufi masters sadly the poet
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:04
			philosopher, he said
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:09
			if any human being is suffering,
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:13
			and you don't feel that pain
within yourself,
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			you don't deserve to be called a
human being.
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:20
			And he was
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:27
			representing the spirit of Islam
actually. Because all of Islam is
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:33
			teaching about mercy era hameau to
hammer show mercy, your hammer
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:37

			and there is a beautiful Hadith
codici a sacred saying.
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:55
			Reporter by Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi salam on behalf of his
		
00:04:55 --> 00:05:00
			Lord, that on the Day of Judgment,
Allah Avila
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			address each one of us.
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:07
			You have been a dumb son or
father, Mario to follow I'm taller
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:12
			than me. I was sick, but you never
bother to visit me.
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:15
			The man will ask,
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:21
			How can I visit you you THE LORD
OF THE WORDS How can you be sick?
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:23
			Allah will say
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			my servant so and so was sick
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:31
			and yet he did not care to visit
him.
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:36
			Didn't you know if you were to
visit him you will find me there
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:37
			with him.
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:44
			And then Allah will ask the other
item is Tom to confirm to m&e,
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:50
			son of Adam, I asked for food, I
bet for food, but you never care
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:51
			to give me food.
		
00:05:55 --> 00:06:00
			The man will say, who Allah You
are the Lord of divorce? How can I
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:03
			feed you? How can you be hungry?
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:09
			Allah will say didn't you know my
servant saw and saw was hungry.
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:15
			And he was asking for food and you
did not give him food.
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:20
			And it goes on to say, didn't you
know that? If you were to feed
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:22
			him, he will find me there with
him.
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:30
			And then escape to go I asked for
drink for a drink. And you did not
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32
			care to give me a drink.
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:38
			Didn't you do that if you were to
give him a drink, you will find me
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:42
			there with him. So that is where
Rasulullah sallallahu Islam taught
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:48
			us. You want my pleasure. You want
my love. Be with those who are
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:49
			suffering.
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:55
			You will find you will you receive
you are at the mercy of Allah and
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:59
			you will receive you will be
eligible for my Lao as the
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:04
			messenger of mercy. The Prophet
sallallahu Sallam taught us
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:08
			always to be with a suffering with
the grieving
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:14
			and you see the beautiful teaching
of the Quran. While you take him
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:18
			on a tour Amara hook be Miss
Keenum. We are team on wa Sierra
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:24
			you know, the believers are those
who will feed who will give food
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:29
			to the mosquito and the orphan and
the prisoner, even though they
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:32
			themselves are in dire need of
that food.
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:38
			And you know, the best person
know, applied this teaching was
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:41
			none other than the daughter of
Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:45
			Fatima, the beloved daughter of
Rasulullah sallallahu
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:52
			because they were prisoners of
war, Bush rekeyed, who had fought
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:56
			against Rasulullah Salallahu
Salam, and they were prisoners,
		
00:07:56 --> 00:08:02
			and the Muslims did not have much
to give. So they were starving.
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:08
			And when Fatima heard that, and
you know what she did? She
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:14
			sacrifice, she gave the only food
she had been she had to the
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:20
			prisoner of war. So this is the
idea that Islam teaches us. Of
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:25
			course, you and I cannot be
expected to go that high. We
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:28
			should strive for it. But yet,
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:34
			the lesson we should learn is
there is no we cannot afford to be
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:39
			wasteful. We cannot afford to
squander the resources
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:44
			when the world needs it, but the
poor millions of the world are
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:51
			suffering. Today, the pandemic has
taken a big heavy toll on
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:52
			millions.
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:59
			Here also it has brought
suffering. So how do we show how
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:05
			to reverse trade the profit the
company profit was always always
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:10
			his eyes, flowing with tears
whenever he showed the poor,
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:12
			emaciated.
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:17
			The greatest teaching lesson of
fasting, as our scholars say one
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:22
			of the greatest builders that
needs to develop empathy. Empathy
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:30
			is not sympathy it is to feel for
what the other person is going
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:35
			through. Because he's part of you
to put yourself into his in his
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:41
			shoes and try to experience and
Islam teaches that through
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:46
			compulsory fasting, rich and poor
poor, we must go through that
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:51
			hunger and thirst which the
millions are going through, day in
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:52
			and day out.
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:57
			In this way Islam want to teach us
empathy, how to develop that
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			empathy in a practical way.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:04
			And there are a lot of things
Islam the Prophet demonstrated,
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:09
			how did he develop that empathy,
he developed our empathy. First of
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:15
			all by listening, by sitting with
those, you read about a salary
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:19
			salaam, he was always sitting with
the poor and the weak and the
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:23
			oppressed. And the same was the
example of Rasulullah Salallahu
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:29
			Salam used to Allah order sin, to
sit with them to sit with Bilad
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:34
			and Salmaan. And Sahib, they were,
they were the weakest of the
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:39
			society at the time, by sitting
with them, you know, their
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:44
			concern, your anxieties, you will
listen to them. And Prophet was
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:50
			always listening to the maids, you
know, the poorest, the weakest
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:55
			section of modern society, and so
dramatically alongside that
		
00:10:55 --> 00:11:01
			prophet would listen to the made
any made in Medina, they would
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:05
			approach Rasulullah Salallahu
Salam, he was always accessible to
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:08
			her to them. And he would tell
them,
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:15
			let me know where you want to come
to meet and listen to you, I will
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:20
			be there. And he would sit as long
as she wanted, listening to the
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:24
			grievances. And the professor of
ours, remember that he was
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:25
			suffering any minutes as well.
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:31
			Tears, they were shedding tears in
front of Rasulullah sallallahu
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:36
			sallam, he empathize with them. He
embolize with the with the boy who
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:43
			lost his pet bird and he shed
tears. So this is the example of
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:47
			the Messenger of mercy. Today the
world is suffering, the world is
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:48
			grieving.
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:54
			Even in the peak of victory, you
know, when the lands were conquer,
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:58
			a Buddha was crying, one of the
great companions of the Prophet
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:02
			sallallahu wasallam. They were
asked, they asked him, Why are you
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:06
			crying? This is the time to
rejoice, said you know I am
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:09
			crying, because look at the
suffering they are going through
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:14
			because as soon as they have
committed and you know, it may
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:21
			visit us too. So empathize. Put
yourself because they are in this
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:25
			because of the sins they have
committed. And we may also be your
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:31
			humble biller empathize the people
who are suffering.
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:38
			So, this empathizing with a sinner
says, Well, you don't feel proud,
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:43
			self righteous, I am better. This
is the lesson the Prophet taught.
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:48
			A man saw a sinner and said,
cursed him. Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50
			so you are you to curse him?
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:56
			He thought he is he's doing
better, better than he better than
		
00:12:56 --> 00:13:01
			him. Allah subhanaw taala said, I
forgive him, and I will punish
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:06
			you. Because we are supposed to
empathize with the sinners with
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:11
			the weak and the vulnerable, and
pray have mercy on them. And that
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:14
			is why Rasulullah sallallahu
wasallam when he was asked to
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:19
			curse, the Mushrikeen, who fought
against him, he said, I am not
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:24
			sent to curse in Mr. Bursch to
Ramadan. I have been sent by Allah
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:29
			subhanaw taala as a mercy. So
Allah homonuclear Kobe Allah,
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:33
			guide them to the straight path
for in the Himalaya, whoo, because
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:37
			they are doing all these things
out of ignorance. So this is the
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:42
			time for Muslims to show that
empathy and develop start with
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:46
			your person, the weak and the
suffering and do everything we did
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:53
			our means join we need to put
ourselves in their shoes. We need
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:59
			to we shake this preconceived
prejudices, stereotypes, you know,
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:05
			we are all part of that one human
family. So even though your
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:09
			neighbor is a Christian or a Hindu
or war, put yourself in your
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:12
			shoes. This is what Rasulullah
sallallahu sallam said, you know
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:17
			one, actually you and you know
this, this one clan, known as
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:19
			Ashley Yun came to Medina.
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:24
			They were Mushrikeen at that time,
they did not yet embrace Islam.
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:28
			The Prophet Welcome to the man
said, I am from them and they are
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:34
			from me. Why? Because they have
this great trait of character,
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:38
			that when they are when they are
poor, we are facing drought and
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:43
			famine. What they will do,
everyone will bring whatever
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:48
			provision they have at this one
common table of mercy and they
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:52
			will eat every one of them partake
from it equally. So the Prophet
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:56
			said, they are from me, I am from
them.
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			This is the teaching of Rasulullah
Salallahu Salam
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:04
			Today, we need to pray for for the
suffering humanity. We need to
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:09
			feel the pain of, of those who are
going through suffering. And we
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:15
			need to be motivating ourselves to
initiate projects, and work
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:20
			wherever whatever projects are
there, no matter who initiated it.
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:25
			What our ability what Taqwa
cooperate on virtue, cause of
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:28
			virtue and piety and goodness,
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:34
			everyone doing something good, be
part of it, endorse it, no matter
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:38
			whether he is a Christian or a
Hindu or a Jew, who he may be,
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:44
			because we are one, the members of
the human family, we need to care
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:47
			for one another. We need to
support each other. We need to
