Bukhari, Rahima, laris from Urwa

00:01:15 --> 00:01:16

that a woman

00:01:18 --> 00:01:21

stole in the time of rasulallahu, ali he was seldom

00:01:23 --> 00:01:24

during Fatima Ka

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

and her people

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

became very worried and concerned.

00:01:33 --> 00:01:40

Her name was Fatima moksumia. She was a very prestigious clan and

00:01:40 --> 00:01:40

tribe,

00:01:42 --> 00:01:47

so, fearing the loss of reputation, they went to Usama bin

00:01:47 --> 00:01:51

Zayed, RadiAllahu talaanu, and requested him to intercede on her

00:01:51 --> 00:01:54

behalf, plead for leniency with rasulallah

00:01:56 --> 00:01:59

says, When Usama spoke With regards to her

00:02:01 --> 00:02:05

pleading for leniency. When Navi salawatsallam, the color of the

00:02:05 --> 00:02:10

face of rasulallah changed, and then he said, Are you people

00:02:10 --> 00:02:15

speaking to me requesting leniency when it comes to the Hulu of Allah

00:02:15 --> 00:02:21

Tala the boundaries of Allah, Osama said, realizing his error

00:02:21 --> 00:02:25

only of Allah seek forgiveness for me.

00:02:26 --> 00:02:30

That night, rasulallah stood and he began the khutbah.

00:02:31 --> 00:02:35

He prayed Allah gala as was his right, and thereafter he said

00:02:36 --> 00:02:39

that listen the nations of the past before you,

00:02:41 --> 00:02:44

when this became the practice amongst them, that when the

00:02:44 --> 00:02:48

prominent people used to steal, they used to let them free, and

00:02:48 --> 00:02:54

when the weak ones, or those of lowly social pega order, used to

00:02:54 --> 00:02:57

steal, they used to establish the HUD and the law of Allah Dalai on

00:02:57 --> 00:03:01

them. This practice destroyed the nations of the past by the Qassam

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

of that being in Whose Hand lies, the life of Muhammad, sallAllahu,

00:03:04 --> 00:03:08

alaihi wasallam. Even if my own daughter, Fatima bint Muhammad had

00:03:08 --> 00:03:13

to steal, I personally would cut her hand. Thereafter, rasulallah

00:03:13 --> 00:03:17

ordered the hand of Fatima maksumya must be cut. Her hand was

00:03:17 --> 00:03:18

cut.

00:03:19 --> 00:03:22

Thereafter she made a sincere Tova, and she even got married

00:03:22 --> 00:03:26

Aisha Adela Huda aanha says that such was a dovah and her

00:03:26 --> 00:03:31

acceptance that thereafter, very often, she would come to me with

00:03:31 --> 00:03:34

certain problems which I would and I would raise her issue with

00:03:34 --> 00:03:37

Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, and He would entertain Her matters.

00:03:42 --> 00:03:55

Virat,

00:04:20 --> 00:04:26

Allah, almardi,

00:04:32 --> 00:04:35

Allahu

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

Tala, Ghana and the rates the two ansaris

00:04:46 --> 00:04:49

came with a dispute to Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, which was

00:04:49 --> 00:04:53

regarding some inheritance. The matter had transpired some time

00:04:53 --> 00:04:55

back, so there were no witnesses to the matter.

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

Allah rasulallahu Ali.

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

Sallam,

00:05:01 --> 00:05:03

before addressing their matter, said to them

00:05:05 --> 00:05:07

that you people bring your disputes to me.

00:05:09 --> 00:05:14

If no worry or revelation has come down with regards to the matter,

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

then I have to decide based on my opinion,

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

sometimes

00:05:21 --> 00:05:25

one of you is more conversant in presenting his problem than the

00:05:25 --> 00:05:28

other or presenting his side of the matter.

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

So if I decide in his favor based on the manner in which he

00:05:33 --> 00:05:34

presented his case,

00:05:36 --> 00:05:37

he may have been more conversant

00:05:39 --> 00:05:43

thereof. Because of that my opinion was influenced by him,

00:05:43 --> 00:05:44

however

00:05:47 --> 00:05:51

erringly, because no washing had come down, there is perhaps a

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

possibility

00:05:53 --> 00:05:53

that

00:05:54 --> 00:05:59

my ruling in his favor would, in fact, be the wrong one, and

00:05:59 --> 00:06:03

because of my ruling, he would be able to gain ownership over the

00:06:03 --> 00:06:09

right of his brother. If this should occur, then I advise you

00:06:09 --> 00:06:12

that even though I have given a ruling, do not accept My ruling.

00:06:12 --> 00:06:17

Do not take what is not yours, because, in reality, I am cutting

00:06:17 --> 00:06:21

off for you a piece of Jahannam which will come on the day of

00:06:21 --> 00:06:23

judgment and will be hanging around your neck

00:06:25 --> 00:06:27

when these two people heard this.

00:06:29 --> 00:06:30

What is meant by this

00:06:31 --> 00:06:35

is that Allah rasalal is going to be saying that I am not alimul

00:06:35 --> 00:06:38

khayb. I am not the know of the unseen, if wahi revelation has not

00:06:38 --> 00:06:43

come down to me with regards to a matter and one of you has the gift

00:06:43 --> 00:06:47

of the gab, or has the ability to present his case very

00:06:47 --> 00:06:48

convincingly,

00:06:49 --> 00:06:53

or he may be even lying convincingly, I may become

00:06:53 --> 00:06:56

influenced by him. Do not feel that because I have ruled in your

00:06:56 --> 00:07:01

favor in this dispute, and you are able to usurp the right of your

00:07:01 --> 00:07:04

brother that you have got away because there is another court

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

that is coming. That is the court of Allah subhanho wa taala. You

00:07:07 --> 00:07:10

may have presented your case more convincingly, got away in this

00:07:10 --> 00:07:14

world, but on the day of judgment, understand that that Haq and the

00:07:14 --> 00:07:16

right of the brother of the brother of yours, which you took

00:07:17 --> 00:07:19

is, in fact, a piece of Jahannam which will be hanging around your

00:07:19 --> 00:07:19

neck.

00:07:21 --> 00:07:25

Both these Ansari started crying when they heard this, and each one

00:07:25 --> 00:07:29

said, O NaVi of Allah, my right, I give it to my brother. There is no

00:07:29 --> 00:07:34

more dispute. So NaVi Sala Islam said, that is the decision of both

00:07:34 --> 00:07:37

of you. Go now and

00:07:38 --> 00:07:41

amongst yourselves try and establish what is the truth.

00:07:43 --> 00:07:47

Decide between the two of you all, and if you want even draw lots,

00:07:48 --> 00:07:52

and after having made a distribution which is amenable to

00:07:52 --> 00:07:56

both of you, then each one of you in his heart forgives the other

00:07:56 --> 00:07:58

person. Should he have gotten what was not due to him? You?

00:08:03 --> 00:08:14

Hadith hollow in the face of the Allah AJ in the face Imran Ali

00:08:14 --> 00:08:21

Radi Allahu anhu, call It can Allah rasulallah,

00:08:54 --> 00:08:55

covid

00:08:57 --> 00:09:00

19, communion,

00:09:07 --> 00:09:10

the wife of Hamza bin Abdul Muttalib, which was the uncle of

00:09:10 --> 00:09:13

rasulallah. Name was Khola bin keisu. She was the aunt of

00:09:13 --> 00:09:14

rasulallah.

00:09:16 --> 00:09:21

She said NaVi salaam was owing a person from amongst the Banu

00:09:21 --> 00:09:24

sahida, which was a clan of the Ansara

00:09:25 --> 00:09:28

one wask of Tamar. Wask is 60 of the measure of that time.

00:09:29 --> 00:09:34

Understand, in contemporary terms, 60 kilos. That person came and he

00:09:34 --> 00:09:38

requested that he be paid what is owed to him. Visa ordered an

00:09:38 --> 00:09:43

Ansari that he should pay on his behalf. However, the standard of

00:09:43 --> 00:09:47

dates which this Ansari gave to that person was was of a standard

00:09:47 --> 00:09:50

or nature which he was not happy with. So he returned it, and he

00:09:50 --> 00:09:53

said, I am not happy with the payment of this debt. So this

00:09:53 --> 00:09:57

Ansari said, Are you returning or rejecting the offer of Rasulullah

00:09:57 --> 00:09:59

sallallahu sallam? So he said, Yes, I am doing so.

00:10:00 --> 00:10:04

And who is more worthy of justice and truth than Rasulullah

00:10:04 --> 00:10:07

sallallahu, alaihi salam. When Avila sim heard this, his eyes

00:10:07 --> 00:10:10

brimmed over with tears, and then he said, he has spoken the truth.

00:10:10 --> 00:10:14

There is no one who should set an example of justice better than

00:10:14 --> 00:10:18

myself. Allah will never bless a nation. Allah will never bless a

00:10:18 --> 00:10:24

nation where the weak amongst them are not able to derive and acquire

00:10:24 --> 00:10:26

their Haqq and they write from the strong ones amongst them.

00:10:27 --> 00:10:31

Thereafter, he said, Oh, Hola, he addressed his aunt, go with him

00:10:31 --> 00:10:36

and pay him in a manner where he is happy. Because no creditor, no

00:10:36 --> 00:10:42

creditor, leaves his debtor in a happy condition, except that the

00:10:43 --> 00:10:47

insects of the earth and the residents of the earth and the

00:10:47 --> 00:10:51

fish of the sea make dwaim Affirmative for that person who

00:10:51 --> 00:10:55

has paid his debt in the manner in which his karate is happy. And

00:10:55 --> 00:11:00

there is no person, there is no person who delays in the payment

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

of his debt whilst he has the means to pay that debt, except

00:11:05 --> 00:11:09

that on every day and every night, one gorge and one sin is ordained

00:11:09 --> 00:11:12

and written in the court of Allah against that person.

00:11:14 --> 00:11:17

I respectfully because many, many incidents Asmaa, Yusuf, Rahul Ali,

00:11:18 --> 00:11:22

as mentioned in this chapter, on ADAL

00:11:23 --> 00:11:27

justice of Rasulullah, sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam and his

00:11:27 --> 00:11:30

companions, we find that ADAL injustice is something which our

00:11:30 --> 00:11:31

Shariat

00:11:32 --> 00:11:35

and our deen has placed very great emphasis upon

00:11:36 --> 00:11:39

to be just and fair in one's dealings. Is part of akhlaq and

00:11:39 --> 00:11:45

character. In fact, ulama say that for any society to prosper, there

00:11:45 --> 00:11:49

has to be tawazumab has to be balanced, and in social and

00:11:49 --> 00:11:52

financial interaction, there is nothing that will bring about

00:11:52 --> 00:11:58

tawazum and balance like adult and justice. They say that all the

00:11:58 --> 00:12:01

branches of Deen, if one word were to be used to describe every

00:12:01 --> 00:12:04

branch of Deen, then it is this word. Other is justice, because

00:12:04 --> 00:12:08

this is the resounding message that will be found in every branch

00:12:08 --> 00:12:10

of Deen. 6666

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

verses in the Quran,

00:12:13 --> 00:12:17

they say which verse of the Quran, if it were asked, what is that one

00:12:17 --> 00:12:21

verse in the Quran which gives the message of the entire Quran, Allah

00:12:21 --> 00:12:30

says that verse is in Allah, come to the Karun, that verse of the

00:12:30 --> 00:12:35

Quran, which is referred to as adalah, ayitiful Quran, the most

00:12:35 --> 00:12:38

just verse of the entire Quran, they say, constitutes the meaning

00:12:38 --> 00:12:43

of the entire Quran. So very, very great emphasis has been placed on

00:12:43 --> 00:12:47

justice, on being fair in one's dealings and not being influenced

00:12:47 --> 00:12:52

constantly. Allah is testing us. The opposite of justice is zulum

00:12:52 --> 00:12:57

and oppression. We find that zulum is something Hadiya could see.

00:12:57 --> 00:12:59

Allah. Tala says, in me haram, Tul, Mahala, Anna, Siva, jaal,

00:12:59 --> 00:13:04

tube, Maha Rama, falamo. Allah says, I made zulum Haram on

00:13:04 --> 00:13:09

myself. I made zulum Haram on myself and I made it haram upon

00:13:09 --> 00:13:10

you. So do not

00:13:11 --> 00:13:14

deal oppressively with one another. Do not deal unfairly with

00:13:14 --> 00:13:20

one another on Hari Abu Asmaa, Zul, fain nahuyati, omal kyama

00:13:20 --> 00:13:26

that fears and fear oppression, because it is each time you are

00:13:26 --> 00:13:30

unjust in your dealings, it is darkness, it is zulmat. And this

00:13:30 --> 00:13:34

darkness, you will be raised up in darkness on the Day of Judgment.

00:13:35 --> 00:13:40

Ulama say the two Gunas and wrongs are such generally Allah Tala s

00:13:40 --> 00:13:44

principle is that of muhlat and grace. La Tala gives grace.

00:13:45 --> 00:13:48

La Tala gives opportunity for a person to make Tova. They say two

00:13:48 --> 00:13:52

Gunas is such that in these two Gunas, Allah Pak does not give

00:13:52 --> 00:13:56

very much grace. Very quickly, the azab and punishment of Allah Tala

00:13:56 --> 00:14:00

comes, they say, in a society where the haya is shamelessness

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

and the other is zulum in operation, becomes apparent and

00:14:03 --> 00:14:07

very, very quickly. If you look throughout history, the azava,

00:14:07 --> 00:14:10

Allah, very quickly befalls such a nation,

00:14:11 --> 00:14:14

you see very great emphasis, Allah, the Susu, Allah isallam,

00:14:14 --> 00:14:19

the first incident. He says that even if Fatima, RadiAllahu, Tala

00:14:19 --> 00:14:22

Na, my own daughter, had to steal. I would

00:14:23 --> 00:14:26

exact the HUD from her. In other words, my relationship, my

00:14:26 --> 00:14:29

personal relationship with her, would not influence the way in

00:14:29 --> 00:14:33

which I deal. This is very, very important all the time. We have

00:14:33 --> 00:14:37

matters, disputes coming in front of us, situations arising very,

00:14:37 --> 00:14:42

very quickly. We find that many of us get influenced. He is my family

00:14:42 --> 00:14:46

member, or he is of the same race, the same creed, the same language

00:14:46 --> 00:14:51

as me, and this tends to blind us as to what is the truth. And we

00:14:51 --> 00:14:54

become a Sati, and we become an assistant to the one who is making

00:14:54 --> 00:14:59

Solomon oppression. If you look in the history of Islam, so much of

00:14:59 --> 00:14:59

emphasis.

00:15:01 --> 00:15:08

Isla. She narrate rasulallah to one occasion she said that

00:15:10 --> 00:15:14

suddenly this effect, she said, bring your majalis. Bring your

00:15:15 --> 00:15:19

Hadith, the saying of the aysh. He said, bring your majalis, alive

00:15:20 --> 00:15:24

with the zikr of umara, with the mention of the incidence of the

00:15:24 --> 00:15:28

life of uma RadiAllahu talano, because to talk of Umar is to talk

00:15:28 --> 00:15:35

of justice is to talk of other and to talk of justice is to talk of

00:15:35 --> 00:15:38

Allah. Because Allah is the most just.

00:15:39 --> 00:15:42

So we have to try, in our personal dealings, in our life, to bring

00:15:42 --> 00:15:46

this quality within ourselves not to be influenced, whether it's my

00:15:46 --> 00:15:49

family member, whether it's my friend or whether it's a person

00:15:49 --> 00:15:53

from the same language as myself, but to be able to discern what is

00:15:53 --> 00:15:56

the facts and be able to deal in a just manner with people. If you

00:15:59 --> 00:16:02

look in the history of Islam, there are many incidents like

00:16:03 --> 00:16:05

this. He said in the fourth century there was one

00:16:09 --> 00:16:10

Banu uma ruler. His

00:16:12 --> 00:16:14

name was munze. He was the king of Spain.

00:16:16 --> 00:16:19

That time in the context of the Islamic world, Spain was very

00:16:19 --> 00:16:20

small, small place.

00:16:21 --> 00:16:26

The rule of Spain was a person called munzib, his son, who was,

00:16:26 --> 00:16:31

in fact, his only son, who was the heir to the throne. He got in an

00:16:31 --> 00:16:35

argument with a Jew, with a Yahudi, and he killed this Jew.

00:16:36 --> 00:16:40

Thereafter, he used his family members, and with the weight of

00:16:40 --> 00:16:43

the state behind him, they approached the family of this

00:16:43 --> 00:16:49

Jewish person and said that accept blood money. Do not take kisas. So

00:16:49 --> 00:16:54

the family accepted blood money. From a Shari perspective, the

00:16:54 --> 00:16:57

matter was over. It was a procedure that whatever was

00:16:57 --> 00:17:00

decided in the court would be presented to the king. So when

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

munzid sees this matter, then he immediately commands that the next

00:17:05 --> 00:17:08

day, he wants a general assembly. General Assembly means everyone

00:17:08 --> 00:17:12

must gather. He insisted, even the heirs and the family of this

00:17:12 --> 00:17:13

Jewish person must come to the court.

00:17:15 --> 00:17:18

When everyone had gathered, he addressed everyone, and he said

00:17:18 --> 00:17:24

that I do not want to be become the one. I do not want to become

00:17:24 --> 00:17:29

that King or that ruler that introduces the sunnat of zulam and

00:17:29 --> 00:17:31

oppression that

00:17:32 --> 00:17:35

the ruling family or the ruling class

00:17:36 --> 00:17:36

will

00:17:38 --> 00:17:43

carry out acts of oppression on the lower classes, and then using

00:17:43 --> 00:17:48

the force of the state, will get their matters addressed lightly.

00:17:48 --> 00:17:51

He says, I do not want to be the cause of this. I do not want to be

00:17:51 --> 00:17:54

the one that will introduce something like this. And then he

00:17:54 --> 00:17:58

calls his son, and he addresses his son, and he says that my son,

00:17:58 --> 00:18:03

you are my beloved son, and you are my air. What I am about to do

00:18:03 --> 00:18:05

is something that I will not be able to bear. Also

00:18:06 --> 00:18:09

I will not be able to bear it is going to cause a lot of hurt to

00:18:09 --> 00:18:14

your mother, and I also will not live very long after I do what I

00:18:14 --> 00:18:17

am about to do. And saying this, he takes a sword and he cuts the

00:18:17 --> 00:18:20

head of his son off in front of the entire court,

00:18:21 --> 00:18:26

and exactly as he said, It is said that that act had such an effect

00:18:26 --> 00:18:29

upon him that his grief became such that he lost his mind for the

00:18:29 --> 00:18:32

next two weeks. He didn't sleep at night, he couldn't sleep, and

00:18:32 --> 00:18:36

eventually he passed away as a result of grief, but he did not

00:18:36 --> 00:18:39

want to become a cause or a source of zoolom and oppression coming

00:18:39 --> 00:18:41

alive under his rulership.

00:18:43 --> 00:18:48

One considers that one is only his heir, his only son, and then to

00:18:48 --> 00:18:51

consider that it was a Jew that had been killed, and these were

00:18:51 --> 00:18:56

Muslims. It was this type of example of Islamic ashlar and

00:18:56 --> 00:19:00

conduct that attracted people. And it is why, perhaps, perhaps why

00:19:00 --> 00:19:04

1000 years later, we are still talking about that particular

00:19:04 --> 00:19:07

King. There were many kings in Spain to ask anybody who were the

00:19:07 --> 00:19:10

Kings of Spain? No one will even know, but this one person's name

00:19:10 --> 00:19:14

remained alive because of this act of sacrifice that he made. Same

00:19:14 --> 00:19:15

Spain. There was one Kazi,

00:19:16 --> 00:19:21

190 years and knock on his door, he opens his door and he sees that

00:19:21 --> 00:19:25

it is a Christian youngster. This Christian youngster says that I

00:19:25 --> 00:19:29

want Aman. People are chasing me. I want you to protect me. So he

00:19:29 --> 00:19:32

says, You have in me, in Naka Amin, I give you my protection.

00:19:32 --> 00:19:35

Takes him inside his house, puts him in the room, gives him some

00:19:35 --> 00:19:39

food. Little while later, he has another knock. It's middle of the

00:19:39 --> 00:19:42

night. He opens the door, big crowd of people. What has

00:19:42 --> 00:19:45

happened? They are carrying a Janaza with them, and the Janaza

00:19:45 --> 00:19:49

is a Janaza his own son, the body of his own son. What has happened?

00:19:49 --> 00:19:53

They say a Christian attacked and killed your son, and we are

00:19:53 --> 00:19:56

looking for him. Immediately he realizes that the same person whom

00:19:56 --> 00:19:59

he gave protection to is the one that had murdered his own son.

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

Son. He

00:20:01 --> 00:20:04

doesn't tell them anything. He says, there's nobody here. Go

00:20:04 --> 00:20:07

leave the body of my son. I'll prepare the Janaza, and now you'll

00:20:07 --> 00:20:11

go and look for that person. And he sends them away after the

00:20:11 --> 00:20:14

burial, he goes to the room, and he opens the door, and he

00:20:14 --> 00:20:17

addresses the Christian youngster, and he says, Do you know in whose

00:20:17 --> 00:20:20

whose home you took protection? So the youngster says, whose home is

00:20:20 --> 00:20:23

this? So he says, This is the home

00:20:24 --> 00:20:28

the lantern of which you extinguished, you took the light

00:20:28 --> 00:20:29

out of this home,

00:20:30 --> 00:20:32

that person that you had killed and you were running away from the

00:20:32 --> 00:20:36

hordes were because they were chasing you as my son. But never

00:20:36 --> 00:20:39

mind, I gave you protection. So here is some food and here is some

00:20:39 --> 00:20:42

money. Go away from here. After this, what happens to you? I

00:20:42 --> 00:20:45

cannot give you any guarantee, but I will not break my word of honor.

00:20:48 --> 00:20:52

That example, if you look in the history of Islam, is replete with

00:20:52 --> 00:20:57

examples like this, where the hope and the consciousness of Allah

00:20:57 --> 00:21:02

came in front of them and they had in front of them. The example of

00:21:02 --> 00:21:07

Jana Gary of Salam when it comes to instituting justice. One famous

00:21:07 --> 00:21:10

example is that of Umar bin Abdulaziz Rahmatullahi.

00:21:13 --> 00:21:15

We know the various incidents.

00:21:16 --> 00:21:20

He was that personality who, before he became Khalifa, he said,

00:21:20 --> 00:21:24

just to carry his clothes, just to carry his clothes, his clothes

00:21:24 --> 00:21:29

would be laden on the backs of seven camels. And yet, when he was

00:21:29 --> 00:21:30

made the Khalifa and the ruler,

00:21:32 --> 00:21:37

the reward which Allah subhanho wa Taala promises for those in

00:21:37 --> 00:21:43

positions of trust to preserve justice, and other is such. It is

00:21:43 --> 00:21:46

said that the sun, the surface temperature of the sun, is 12,000

00:21:47 --> 00:21:51

degrees Fahrenheit. The core of the Sun is 27 million degrees

00:21:51 --> 00:21:55

Fahrenheit. Every second the sun is giving off energy equivalent to

00:21:55 --> 00:22:01

500 million hydrogen bombs. The heat of the sun is such if it is

00:22:01 --> 00:22:04

divided into 200 million parts, one path is coming to the earth.

00:22:05 --> 00:22:08

Janavi Rasulullah said a day is coming when this earth will be

00:22:08 --> 00:22:13

Kahan safsa, and the land will be absolutely straightened out. There

00:22:13 --> 00:22:16

won't be any mountains, there won't be any hills, there won't be

00:22:16 --> 00:22:20

any slope. There won't be any form of shade whatsoever. And the same

00:22:20 --> 00:22:24

sun, which now 93 million miles away, is still a source of so much

00:22:24 --> 00:22:29

of fatigue when it's extremely hot, that sun will be brought one

00:22:29 --> 00:22:34

miles distance away from humanity in such extreme heat, he said,

00:22:34 --> 00:22:41

Sabah Allahu maladin will give seven categories of people's shade

00:22:41 --> 00:22:45

underneath his ash on a day when there won't be any other shade

00:22:45 --> 00:22:49

besides the shade of Allah's ash and the sun is one mile away.

00:22:49 --> 00:22:50

Imagine the need of Shaykh and

00:22:52 --> 00:22:58

the first category, he didn't say an alim or a tajudd, guzar or a

00:22:58 --> 00:23:02

Zakir, the first category in abhishekam said Imam unadil That

00:23:02 --> 00:23:06

that ruler, or that person who has a position of trust, whether he is

00:23:06 --> 00:23:10

a lawyer or he is attending to a dispute or whatever it is, and he

00:23:10 --> 00:23:14

is just in his rulings, one revived it comes that one day of

00:23:14 --> 00:23:20

justice, one day of ADAL is equal to 60 years of napalivas. One day

00:23:20 --> 00:23:21

of justice.

00:23:23 --> 00:23:26

So nevertheless, Oman bin Abdul Aziz rahmadul Ali, the

00:23:27 --> 00:23:30

one used to have seven camels laden with his clothes.

00:23:31 --> 00:23:33

He gives up everything.

00:23:34 --> 00:23:37

His wife comes to him just before Eid, and she says, the children

00:23:37 --> 00:23:38

don't have any clothes for Eid.

00:23:41 --> 00:23:44

He says, I don't have any means, and I'm not prepared to do to

00:23:44 --> 00:23:46

usurp the rights of anyone else.

00:23:47 --> 00:23:50

So she says, Why don't you take one month's advance from your

00:23:50 --> 00:23:54

salary and buy clothes? He has 13 sons, buy clothes for your

00:23:54 --> 00:23:56

children, and

00:23:58 --> 00:24:01

I will do some menial chores, some domestic chores, and I will earn

00:24:01 --> 00:24:03

and we'll meet our needs for that one month.

00:24:05 --> 00:24:09

So he accepts this idea, and he goes to his khazanchi, the person

00:24:09 --> 00:24:12

who should keep his treasure of muzahim, and he says to him that

00:24:12 --> 00:24:15

give me one month's advance salary. Muzahim prepares a

00:24:15 --> 00:24:19

document in it. He drives the rahuma bin Abdulaziz give

00:24:19 --> 00:24:22

guarantee that I will remain for one month alive. And he asked him

00:24:22 --> 00:24:26

to sign it. This is his employee, and he is a Khalifa of three

00:24:26 --> 00:24:29

continents. And he sees this, he bursts into tears, and he comes

00:24:29 --> 00:24:32

back home, and he says it says to his wife, I am not able to do

00:24:32 --> 00:24:37

this. I am not prepared to earn Jahannam for in order to acquire

00:24:37 --> 00:24:41

clothes for Eid, for my children in this world, on the day of Eid,

00:24:41 --> 00:24:45

he addresses his children in the same way his own son. His own Son

00:24:45 --> 00:24:48

was very far as one of his sons name was Abdul Malik. He addresses

00:24:48 --> 00:24:52

his father, and he says, Oh, my father, do not be worried. Do not

00:24:52 --> 00:24:55

be worried, because today is a day we can hold our heads high that

00:24:55 --> 00:24:58

our father did not usurp the rights of others to feed, to

00:24:58 --> 00:24:59

fulfill our needs. He.

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

Fulfill our requirements

00:25:02 --> 00:25:06

this level of sacrifice he gave, and the time came when to leave

00:25:06 --> 00:25:10

the world. He addresses Raja bin heva. Rajab in heva was the same

00:25:10 --> 00:25:14

person who before Oman bin Abdulaziz. They were oppressive

00:25:14 --> 00:25:19

rulers. Suleiman, Walid, Abdul Malik bin Marwan. Suleiman was the

00:25:19 --> 00:25:22

last ruler before Umar bin Abdulaziz. And when Sulaiman was

00:25:22 --> 00:25:24

in his deathbed, Rajab in he was told him

00:25:26 --> 00:25:29

that you did so much of zulam throughout your life before you

00:25:29 --> 00:25:33

leave this world, at least, do this one good deed, choose Umar

00:25:33 --> 00:25:35

bin Abdulaziz as your successor.

00:25:36 --> 00:25:39

And on the Rai and on the insistence of Raja Bin He was

00:25:39 --> 00:25:42

Suliman bin Abdul Malik chose Umar bin Abdulaziz.

00:25:43 --> 00:25:46

So he addresses the same Rajab in Heiva. He says to him that I

00:25:46 --> 00:25:50

personally Abdul Malik bin Marwan was his uncle. He says, I

00:25:50 --> 00:25:53

personally took part in the Janaza. Abdul Malik bin varwan,

00:25:53 --> 00:25:56

shaliman bin Abdul Malik, Walid bin Abdul Malik, these were all

00:25:56 --> 00:25:58

his relatives. He says, I personally took part in the

00:25:58 --> 00:26:03

Janaza, and I found that as I was leaving the whole of the grave,

00:26:04 --> 00:26:09

when I took one last look at them, I noticed two things. One is, when

00:26:09 --> 00:26:11

they were placed in the grave, their faces were facing Qibla.

00:26:11 --> 00:26:13

When I looked again, it was turned away from qibla,

00:26:14 --> 00:26:18

and I noticed that their faces were black and dark. What we have

00:26:18 --> 00:26:23

to understand is that, in the conventional sense. If we apply

00:26:23 --> 00:26:27

conventional values to these rulers of Manu umayya, these were

00:26:27 --> 00:26:29

what we would regard as pious people,

00:26:30 --> 00:26:34

Walid bin Abdul Malik. It is mentioned about him that he his

00:26:34 --> 00:26:38

tahajjud Salah was never made paza. And every night in tahajjud,

00:26:38 --> 00:26:41

Salah, you would eat 10 shivaras of the Quran, 10 Jews of the Quran

00:26:41 --> 00:26:42

in tahajjud Salam.

00:26:43 --> 00:26:50

He was so pure minded that he said that if it, if the Quran did not

00:26:50 --> 00:26:54

say, if the Quran did not say that the nation of Lut alaihi salam

00:26:54 --> 00:26:57

committed that act which they committed, *. He says, I

00:26:57 --> 00:27:00

would not have believed it was possible for a human being to do

00:27:00 --> 00:27:05

such things the same person. This is his end. What was the common

00:27:05 --> 00:27:10

crime amongst all of them? One thing that they were zalims. They

00:27:10 --> 00:27:13

were oppressive, and they were prepared to spill the blood of

00:27:13 --> 00:27:18

people nahaq unjustly in order to establish their rule and usurp the

00:27:18 --> 00:27:22

wealth of the masses. So far as dindari and Salah and outward

00:27:22 --> 00:27:26

dindari was concerned, it was present in their lives to a far

00:27:26 --> 00:27:29

greater extent than we can find even the walies of today. Yet,

00:27:29 --> 00:27:32

just because of zulam and oppression, that this quality of

00:27:32 --> 00:27:37

ADAL was not found in them, that this was the end. Raja abhiwa

00:27:37 --> 00:27:40

himself says that as the Janaza mumar bin Abdulaziz was being

00:27:40 --> 00:27:44

carried to the tabassan. There was a gust of wind, and

00:27:45 --> 00:27:49

a piece of paper came down, which landed on the body of Umar bin

00:27:49 --> 00:27:53

Abdulaziz. And on it was written, Bismillahi, Rahmani, Rahim baratam

00:27:53 --> 00:27:57

bin Allah, Umar Ibn Abdul Aziz Min anaat, that this is a declaration

00:27:57 --> 00:28:01

of emancipation from Jahannam for Umar bin Abdulaziz from Allah,

00:28:01 --> 00:28:04

subhanho wa taala. And he says that when I placed the body,

00:28:04 --> 00:28:08

because Umar bin Abdulaziz mentioned his concern that the

00:28:08 --> 00:28:10

faces of these others were blackened and they were turned

00:28:10 --> 00:28:13

away from Qibla. He says, when everyone had gone away, just

00:28:13 --> 00:28:16

before I could leave the grave, I lifted the cloth and I looked

00:28:16 --> 00:28:19

inside. And he says, ka anahu, fill katukawa. He says it was as

00:28:19 --> 00:28:23

if the 14th Full Moon had been brought into the cover of Umar bin

00:28:23 --> 00:28:27

Abdulaziz. And one incident is mentioned, normally we don't

00:28:27 --> 00:28:31

mention dreams, but this is Musnad Ibn kasir rakalan. Is mentioned in

00:28:31 --> 00:28:34

his Kitab that there was one person at that time whose

00:28:36 --> 00:28:37

one elderly person,

00:28:39 --> 00:28:42

whose son had become shaheed in the path of Allah Tala. And since

00:28:42 --> 00:28:46

the time his son became Shaheed, every Thursday night, that is the

00:28:46 --> 00:28:49

night before Jumaa, he would see his son in a dream.

00:28:50 --> 00:28:53

And when Oman Abdulaziz, Janaza Sara took place that night, he did

00:28:53 --> 00:28:57

not see his son. So the next week, when he saw his son in the dream,

00:28:57 --> 00:29:00

he addressed his son, and he asked him that Where were you last week?

00:29:00 --> 00:29:04

Why is it I did not see you in my dream? And his son told him that

00:29:05 --> 00:29:09

Allah Dalai commanded all the ambiya and all the Shuhada to

00:29:09 --> 00:29:12

attend the Janaza. Umar bin Abdulaziz, I went to attend the

00:29:12 --> 00:29:17

Janaza. That is why you did not see me in your dream. Such is the

00:29:17 --> 00:29:21

immense reward which ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala gave to those who were

00:29:22 --> 00:29:23

pillars of justice and huddle, we

00:29:25 --> 00:29:29

find that daily, daily occurrences, we are constantly

00:29:29 --> 00:29:34

faced with situations. And what we have to understand is that it was

00:29:34 --> 00:29:39

these aspects of akhlaq character and conduct that was shining in

00:29:39 --> 00:29:42

the lives of Sahaba akhiram, in the lives of our five predecessors

00:29:42 --> 00:29:47

that were actually the influencing factor that drew people towards

00:29:47 --> 00:29:50

Islam. This is why Sahaba didn't give long, long lectures. They

00:29:50 --> 00:29:53

would say kunu mitslana become like us. And people were attracted

00:29:53 --> 00:29:57

to Islam because practically they brought the way of life of

00:29:57 --> 00:29:59

janabhi, rasulallah, sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam into their.

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

That like the second incident, when Ravi Sala Islam warns those

00:30:03 --> 00:30:08

Ansari is that if you have the ability to present your case, how

00:30:08 --> 00:30:12

many arbitrations there? How many disputes there are yet, when

00:30:12 --> 00:30:16

ravishlam says to them that if you are going to wrong your brother,

00:30:16 --> 00:30:20

you may get away even Muhammad, sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam may

00:30:20 --> 00:30:22

rule in your favor in this world,

00:30:23 --> 00:30:27

and even his ruling is not going to save you. In akirat, if you

00:30:27 --> 00:30:28

have done your brother down,

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

how many cases there are of inheritance where females are

00:30:33 --> 00:30:36

usurped of the rights of inheritance? How many cases there

00:30:36 --> 00:30:40

are all these are examples of zulam and oppression, where

00:30:40 --> 00:30:43

justice no longer remains. Ravis rams said, Allah will never bless

00:30:43 --> 00:30:48

the nation. Allah will never bless a nation when the strong ones will

00:30:48 --> 00:30:50

be able to exact their right and the weak ones will not be able to

00:30:50 --> 00:30:55

exact their right. So when the Sahaba hear this, then

00:30:55 --> 00:30:57

immediately, ya Rasul, I have forgiven. I have given my Haq to

00:30:57 --> 00:31:02

him. I don't want it anymore. In other words, I don't want to take

00:31:02 --> 00:31:04

someone's Huck in this dunya and then have to face the azava the

00:31:04 --> 00:31:09

hereafter. If this attitude we develop within ourselves, where in

00:31:09 --> 00:31:14

our dealings with one another, we keep our akhirat in front. We keep

00:31:14 --> 00:31:18

akhirat in front. We bring the consciousness of the day when we

00:31:18 --> 00:31:22

have to stand in the court of Allah. This is why we are

00:31:22 --> 00:31:25

encouraged again and again to increase our level of kurwani, go

00:31:25 --> 00:31:28

out in the path of Allah. And these six qualities which are

00:31:28 --> 00:31:32

spoken about, these incidents of the lives of Sahaba a Kiram are

00:31:32 --> 00:31:35

not there, so that we tell the rest of society and tell the rest

00:31:35 --> 00:31:38

of the Ummat about them. They are there, so that we bring them in

00:31:38 --> 00:31:43

our lives. So that we take ibras. We take lessons. How just Am I in

00:31:43 --> 00:31:47

my ruling, in my dealings? How fair Am I in my dealings? How much

00:31:47 --> 00:31:51

has glom and oppression without me being aware become a part of my

00:31:51 --> 00:31:56

life? The fourth quality, Ikram and Muslim or akhlaq character,

00:31:57 --> 00:32:01

unfortunately, this is the least spoken quality, and yet it is

00:32:02 --> 00:32:06

probably the most important, because this is where manay Sansa,

00:32:06 --> 00:32:09

one of our elders. He says, you ask anybody, he will tell you. So

00:32:09 --> 00:32:12

and So came in tablier Because of me, so and so came in tabri

00:32:12 --> 00:32:14

because of me. I gave that one dawat. I gave this one dawat. I

00:32:14 --> 00:32:15

gave that one

00:32:16 --> 00:32:20

dawat. How many people were distanced from tabli? How many

00:32:20 --> 00:32:24

people's minds were poisoned about the effort of rasulallah because

00:32:24 --> 00:32:26

of your dealings and your conduct?

00:32:27 --> 00:32:32

Allah rasulallah sends us his own aunt. When you pay the debtor,

00:32:32 --> 00:32:35

when you pay the creditor, pay him in a manner that He is pleased

00:32:35 --> 00:32:35

with you.

00:32:37 --> 00:32:41

Yet nowadays, nowadays, our society has become such that each

00:32:41 --> 00:32:43

one is out to do the next one down.

00:32:44 --> 00:32:47

People are afraid to sell anything. Give a person even one

00:32:47 --> 00:32:52

or two days terms, because what is actually his intention? One is a

00:32:52 --> 00:32:57

different matter if a person is unable to pay. But we have to

00:32:57 --> 00:33:01

understand Allah Tala says, Ana Hindu, Dhani Abdi, I deal with my

00:33:01 --> 00:33:06

slave as he expects from me. If our attitude in business or in our

00:33:06 --> 00:33:10

financial interactions is such that as long as I get it on credit

00:33:10 --> 00:33:14

and prepare to do the deal, then let us understand that Allah's

00:33:14 --> 00:33:18

system is such that Allah will always keep us in a position where

00:33:18 --> 00:33:18

we are owing people,

00:33:20 --> 00:33:23

some of us, we have developed that attitude. Now, if it's cash, we're

00:33:23 --> 00:33:25

not interested. If it's credit, then we're interested. No man,

00:33:25 --> 00:33:28

what it is can be rubbish. Also, as long as it's credit, I'm giving

00:33:28 --> 00:33:31

terms and I've got no intention of paying back, or as long as I've

00:33:31 --> 00:33:35

got this psychological thing that I got time to pay, take it, and

00:33:35 --> 00:33:38

even when we got the means, we are not prepared to pay the people

00:33:38 --> 00:33:41

back. They are causing hurt. And tak leave to those people, this

00:33:41 --> 00:33:46

hadith saying, every day, every day, iStan in Allah's court, it is

00:33:46 --> 00:33:49

being written down that you are going to every day and every

00:33:49 --> 00:33:52

night, that you delay in the payment of your debts. So these

00:33:52 --> 00:33:56

aspects of the lives of Sahai, kanam, vidwanui, majma, if

00:33:56 --> 00:33:59

somebody asked Abdul Rahman bin Oh, pradee, laut alamma, he was a

00:33:59 --> 00:34:02

Sahabi when the visa also made dua for Barkat for him, it is, he is

00:34:02 --> 00:34:05

it is said that if he would touch metal, it would turn to gold so

00:34:05 --> 00:34:09

much burka he had in his business dealing, they asked him, what we

00:34:09 --> 00:34:12

what is the recipe of the Barka bisha Allah gave you? He said, I

00:34:12 --> 00:34:16

never does in credits. I never took credit. One of the things he

00:34:16 --> 00:34:20

mentioned that Allah gala gave him Barkat in his business dealing, he

00:34:20 --> 00:34:23

said, I never put myself in a situation where I was owing people

00:34:23 --> 00:34:26

money. So as far as possible, these are things we should try and

00:34:26 --> 00:34:29

avoid. Or if we get into that situation, we get into that

00:34:29 --> 00:34:32

situation with the sincere intention of paying back the

00:34:32 --> 00:34:36

people so that we don't get their curses, and most more so when we

00:34:36 --> 00:34:38

are linked to the effort of Rasulullah sallallahu Islam, the

00:34:38 --> 00:34:41

burden of responsibility on us increases, because now the

00:34:41 --> 00:34:44

judgment is not going to be Abdul Aziz or Ahmed A Yusuf is like

00:34:44 --> 00:34:48

this. The Talib Jamaat is like in other words, we are becoming a

00:34:48 --> 00:34:51

deterrent of people coming closer towards the effort of Rasulullah,

00:34:51 --> 00:34:54

sallAllahu, sallam. So these aspects which we speak about,

00:34:54 --> 00:34:57

muzakari is made when you go out the path of Allah. First and

00:34:57 --> 00:34:59

foremost, our elders, advisers, my respected brothers. He.

00:35:00 --> 00:35:03

Is there for us to bring in our lives, we have to be conscious How

00:35:03 --> 00:35:08

much is this coming in us. Don't look at others. Don't look with a

00:35:08 --> 00:35:12

bad eye at others, and don't judge others. You are not answerable for

00:35:12 --> 00:35:15

them. Worry about yourself. How much is this coming in your life?

00:35:15 --> 00:35:19

In fact, well, they say that a sign that a person is falling from

00:35:19 --> 00:35:22

the Grace of Allah is if he notices the weaknesses of others,

00:35:22 --> 00:35:26

we should be so preoccupied with our own weaknesses that we don't

00:35:26 --> 00:35:29

have time to notice the weakness of others. Unfortunately, every

00:35:29 --> 00:35:32

gathering, wherever it is that one is like this and this one is like

00:35:32 --> 00:35:35

this, and talks about this person, talks about that person. These are

00:35:35 --> 00:35:38

things which are destroying our Amal and destroying our Talib

00:35:38 --> 00:35:43

Asmaa used to say that little while of layani, chalis, din ke

00:35:43 --> 00:35:46

Magadha,

00:35:47 --> 00:35:51

that they accepted, evaded of 40 days the noor of it is wiped away

00:35:51 --> 00:35:54

when we make lyani Useless talks, and most times useless talks, is

00:35:54 --> 00:35:57

what is about other people. So we should try and avoid these things.

00:35:57 --> 00:35:59

May Allah give us a fiction, small.
