Nah,
find my respected brothers. Allah has sent us in this world
for a very short period of
time, and amongst the fitna
and trials
that face a person all the time
are those associated with his family and those associated with
his wealth.
We find, if you look in the hadith of Aslam in the Quran, also
on the one hand,
Allah and His Beloved habif Salaam
have shown the family of a person, and at times even wealth. Navi
Sala referred to it as something of faith and benefit. And
on the other hand, we find that those rivayats,
vyasulallah Ali asallam warned us with regards to our wealth, and he
warned us with regards to our families. Example of this is with
regards to our wife. He said, A dunya, Kullu ha Mata, wahena,
matani, Almara tu saliha, this world is full of possessions, and
there is nothing more precious and nothing more valuable to a person
than a pious wife.
And yet, on the other hand,
rasulallah, Islam refers to women as a fitna.
He says, matara, tupadi, fitnat and other Allah, Raj Ali, minan,
Nisa.
He says, I haven't left a greater fitna than women.
Allah. Allah says, No, Quran ya ulaina amanu in namin, azwaji Kum
Abu Asmaa.
Oh, you who believe your wives and your children are your enemies.
Allah says your wives and your children. The word adu was used
for Shaitan in the shaitan allahum, aduum, Mubin, shaytan is
your great enemy, the same word Allah used in the Quran for one's
wife and children.
So what is the correlation between this? On the one hand, we find
in Shariat, a person's wife, person's family, person's
children, is a source of faith. On other hand, we find so many
warnings in the hadith of rasulallah the Quran. Also,
what is very, very important by respected Brothers
is that when we recite Kalima, in reality, we have handed ourselves
over to Allah and His Raso Salaam. Thereafter, any association or any
link we have in this world, first and foremost, we have to keep the
right of Allah and His Raso salaam Islam in front and then look at
anything else. If we will do this, then that wife is a source of
benefit to us. Those children are the source of benefit to us. The
wealth is a source of benefit to us. On the other hand, if we will
put their demands and what they are asking from us, if we will
give that preference over the right of Allah is the source Allah
isallam, then my respected brothers. They Allah refers to
them as an enemy. They are not actually the enemy. We have made
them the enemy. The
verse of the Quran which I recited in the minaswaji Kum, Abu Asmaa.
Kum, Abu Asmaa, kufaro Hum Allah
dala says, Oh, you believe your wife and your children are an
enemy to you. So be careful of them.
Let us look when this verse was revealed, there
was one Sahabi in makamu karama.
Up
the order for Hijra came.
And this was the that order, which was directed to all the people of
iman in makamu, kanama. And this was the ultimate sacrifice. They
had to leave their birthplace, they had to leave their
businesses. They had to leave their families. They had to leave
everything and go empty handed and go to Yas, go to Madina,
munawhara, where they did not know what lay in front of them. This
was a very great sacrifice that was required, and a great test of
iman.
The Sahabi got ready to make hijrat,
and then his wife came to him, and she beseeched, she begged him,
then why don't you delay your hijrat? Carry out Allah's command.
Go in the path of Allah, carry out Allah's command, but don't do it
now. Just wait little while. And she kept at him and kept at him,
and he eventually succumbed to the dictates of his wife and his
children, and he delayed his Hijra by one or two years
thereafter, he made hijra to Madina munavara brother had taken
place.
Bucharest revised Allah Ali bada in kakala, yamalu, Mashi, tumini,
Akha tulakum, Allah Tala looked at the Sahaba Tupa In bada, and Allah
said, from now till you die, do whatever you want. Jannat is vaji
for you. Bada had taken place, had taken place, and it is consensus
amongst the ulama and those Sahaba who took part in Badar, they
supersede the rest of the sahaba. Anyone coming after that can never
reach the level of a Badri Sahabi.
So so far as his deen and his accurate was concerned, the sahabi
had incurred a very great loss,
such a loss which he could never, ever hoped to recover also, he had
missed the opportunity of being a Badri. He had missed he had missed
the Quran. He had sacrificed that as soon as last because of giving
into the dictates of his wife and children. And on this occasion,
the verse of the Quran came down kingdom in azwajiru that
your wife and your children are an enemy, when,
in this case, my respected brothers, when he allowed
the requests and the demands and the dictates of his wife and
children to stop him from striving in the path of Allah,
we have to put Allah is rasu Salaam and our first
thereafter We see to the demands of our wives and children.
Thereafter we see to the demands of our businesses. But Allah is a
sulasana to be first
and automatically attached with Allah is a Sula Islam is the
effort of Deen. That is why Allah, Allah is that verse in Surah,
tavawumna al kumilla akhir ayah, the latah says clearly, if your
wives, your children, your parents, your brothers, your
business, your wealth, anything is mukaddam in your life is given
more preference in your life to Allah and his rasulallah, striving
in the way of Allah. Then wait for Allah Azza, because this ummat
right is first towards Allah and His rasulallah. So this Hari which
we have read my respected brothers, is one such example
where rasulallah with shikmat, with wisdom, with love, with
compassion. Constantly, you will try to remind Sahaba of this, that
listen when it comes to your akhirat, when it comes to your
deen, your family sometimes will become an obstacle.
Like nowadays, you find so many people, the parents have gone old.
They come to the muli Sahib and say, Melissa make dua, Allah Tara,
have mercy on my parents. Allah rahmat on my parents. What it
means, Allah, take them away very quickly because they were musibat
for us.
The same parent who broke so many commands of Allah to keep you in
the lack of lack of luxury, that same parent who signed those
bonds, who got involved in interest, who got involved all
sorts of wrong lies and cheating so that he could see to your
tomorrow. Today, you go to the mohith and say, Allah, will have
mercy on him. In other words, take him away quickly.
So we find that that parent, because of the dictates of his
children, he sacrificed his ascribed and yet this world is
such a place of deception that even in this world also you will
get no repayment for it. So Rasulullah said, Raul Islam,
on one occasion, he tried to make the Sahaba understand. This is, by
way of a beautiful example. He
addressed him, and he said to his Sahaba one day that, oh my Sahaba,
do you know what is the relation
of these three entities in a person's life, his wealth, his
family and his Amal. What is the relationship between these three?
So they said Allan is the suasen know best. So he said the example
of a person in relation to his wealth and his family and his Amal
is like a person who had three brothers when the time of death
came close. He called his brothers, and he addressed them
and said to them that each one of you can see quite clearly what has
befallen me now with relation to what lies ahead of me. The cover
and accurate please tell me how you three people are going to
assist me. He addresses his three brothers in.
This fashion.
So one of them says that I will nurse you tirelessly, and I will
tend to your affairs, and when you pass away, I will bathe you. I
will clothe you in the coffin, and I will carry you with the rest of
the people,
and I will carry you with kindness, and I will clear the
road towards the graveyard for you.
And when I come back, if anybody asks me about you, I will praise
you excessively.
And Mr. Assam says, this is his brother. This brother represents
the family of this person. So then he asked Sahaba that in relation
to what lies ahead of this person, they left him in the graveyard and
came away. So what good were they to him? Sahaba said, On the behalf
of Allah, they were not of much benefit to him. Then he says, This
person addressed the next brother, and he says to him, you can see
what has happened to me and what lies in front of me. So what
assistance can you be to me?
So this this brother replied and said, as long as you are alive, I
can be of help to you, but once you die, I will go in one
direction and you will go in another direction. Assam says,
this is the wealth of this person. Like in one Hadith, it comes that
a person says, Mali, Mali, my wealth, my wealth, my wealth, and
that same wealth. He sends investments overseas. He starts
planning for long, long in the future and all sorts of worries he
has with regards to his wealth. And whereas rasulallah said, what
is his wealth? His wealth is the clothing that he wore, his wealth
is the food that he ate, what he utilized, that was his wealth. The
rest of it is not his wealth. The rest of it is the wealth of his
inheritance.
So Sahaba replied that on Abhi of Allah, this person, this brother
also was not of much help. Then he says that he told the third
brother that you can see what has happened to me, and you can see
how my family have responded, and you can see how my wealth has
responded. Now, how are you going to help me? So this brother
replies that I will be your companion in the grave and in a
place of loneliness, I will comfort you. And when your scale
of deeds, when your deeds are being weighed, I will sit on the
side of your good deeds to make it heavier. This brother represents
the Amal and actions of this person. He is asking it.
So ravishlam asked the Sahaba, then, what is your opinion about
this brother? They said, a very good brother and a good companion
on a B of Allah. So then a visa says, this is the affair. This is
the reality. This is the reality that faces every person on a daily
basis. We are tested. Will we allow that family to become an
obstacle to our service of Allah's deen and obedience to the commands
of Allah dala? If we allow them, we are destroying their Akira and
our akirat also. And if you don't allow them, if you put Allah and
His rasam in front then inshaAllah, our Akira will be
made, and their Akira also will be made.
Aisha Ali Alaina says, One Sahabi Abdullah bin khur stood up, and he
said, on Abhi of Allah, give me permission to recite a poem
explaining what you have just told us. Navi Salas said, Yes, go
ahead.
So he said, Give me one night's grace so that I can formulate this
poem. Navi salaam gave him one night's grace. I'll read the poem
now and translate. It won't take very much more time, because, as
it is, my respected brothers have said this very, very often in our
parents, that this crippled English language will never, ever
really explain to us the wealth of meaning and emotion that is
contained in what the sahabi expressed in Arabic. As far as
possible, we will try inshaAllah Allah give us understanding. So
the next day he came, the people were gathered, and he began
saying, fahini wali wa padamatiya de tadain, Ilahi, SAF bahutu Maka
iri leakwati. Silly because and my family
and what I've sent ahead their relationship with me is like a
person
who, at the time of his death, he called his three brothers, and he
says that a great calamity has befallen me. Please help me. There
is a long period of separation, the outcome of which is uncertain,
and what lies ahead of me is devastating. So this person said,
so one of the three brothers said,
I am your I Am that brother of yours who will obey you in
everything until you leave me. But once the separation becomes
imminent between us, then no more kinship, no more relationship will
remain between you and me. So.
Take from me whatever you want. Now, whatever help you want,
anything you want, use me as much as you want. Now, for after this,
a precarious road lies ahead of us. Even if you want to keep me
with you, you won't be able to so hastily spend me as much as you
want before that sudden death which will befall you. This
person, this obviously refers to the wealth of this person. O
column in home in bein him, fit the family. Vana e n mejahid, Ajit
dukati, Lee walakin, Nani, back
in Ali kawamoth, name behind machine. The next brother
spoke, and
this brother, Abdullah bin khul, says, This person loved this
brother more than everybody else, more than his other brothers, and
he would give this brother preference over the other
brothers. So this brother replies that I will strive for you. I wish
well for you,
however, that death which lies in front of you, unfortunately, I
cannot fight or withhold your death.
But never mind, the death will be successful in taking you away from
me, but I will cry and wail for you, and if anybody asks me about
you, I will praise you excessively. And with those who
are carrying you to the graveyard, I will walk with them, and all
those who are carrying you, I will assist them also towards your
destination, which you are going to enter. And once we put you in
that hole, once we put you in that grave, then my brother, I have got
other occupations. I have got other things that require my
attention. I will have to leave you there and go back to my
worldly affairs. And with the gradual passage of time,
eventually I will forget you to such an extent that, as if no
relationship ever existed between you and me,
this was the family of that person, and this was the help that
they could give him,
as much as they would have liked to have done more than that, this
was all they could do. Wakalam, ruminal, Abu latara. Akan la Kami,
kezdala, jili la Kabal, the
third brother said, You will never find a brother like me in your
time and difficulty, interpretation in your time of
difficulty, interpolation and trials, you will not find a
brother like me when you go to that grave before you, you will
find me waiting in that grave, and I will respond to every
interrogation that is put to You, and I will sit in your scale of
deeds, and I will exert myself to try and make it as heavy as
possible. So please don't ever forget me. And know the position
that I enjoy, know the assistance that I can be to you, because I am
a well wisher for you, and I will never abandon you, and I will
never leave you. This is that which he sent ahead of his good
deeds on the day of the meeting of the souls and on the day when he
is in need of it. This is that brother that will assist him for
Baka Rahi, salallahu, alayhi wa sallam, abaq Muslim, ulamin,
kolihi wa ka Abdullah Nichols a la abuna Muslim enlance on these
heart rending words. In this example, Abdullah binkus presented
to Rasulullah sallallahu, Sallam Sahabah say, the tears were
pouring down the cheeks of Nabi Salaam and all the Sahaba that
occurs in they also cried excessively. And Abdullah binkurs
Thereafter, whenever you were passed by a group of Muslims, they
would call him and they would tell him to once again recite these
words so that they can be reminded of the importance of Amal and the
importance of akirat, and not giving into the temptations of
those around us. With regards to our akirat, may Allah give each
other respected brothers. Allah Tala has given us an opportunity
one more day of this blessed and beloved month of Ramadan, let us
try and exert ourselves, especially, very, very important
is to be concerned that whatever little we did, Allah was accepted.
And the sign of acceptance by respected brothers Is that some
sort of change comes in our lives. Kavanaugh says that that person
who fasted in the month of Ramadan, and you had this enough.
Savo and he tells himself that when Ramadan finishes, I am
whatever good has come in my life, I am going to let this come yet I
made Toba from the wrongs. I won't go back to those wrongs. He says,
dafal al Jannat of masalat in malahisab. This person will enter
into Jannat without any question. On the other hand, a person who
fast in the month of Rama.
Radhan That inside Eliza knows the secrets. Allah knows what's in our
heart. He tells himself that never mind, I stayed away from that
shaitan box. It was Ramadan. The women took out the scarves covered
themselves because it was Ramadan. That music that used to play in
the mordecas was switched off because it was Ramadan. And the
list can go on, but he's made the determination that once the hirala
E decided then all the wrongs that he was doing before he will go
back to them and he will carry on as he was carrying on before.
Kawara says, For Siya Muhu, alayhi Murdo, this is a sign that the
Ramadan of this person has not been accepted. May Allah save us
from this nice picture. That's why he's very, very important. This
last night that is in front of us this last day. Let us make
dwatwala accepts whatever little we did. And let us make a firm
intention, Inshallah, that the beauty and the blessings of
Ramadan will try and make it permeate for the rest of the year.
And a simple way my respective Brothers is let us start the Talib
in our homes. Let us link ourselves to the effort of the
masjid, to the environment of the masjid, to the environment of the
effort of Deen. Try and come to the sub gudari regularly, three
days every month in the path of Allah dala. Make dua that Allah
bless us and Allah Dalai gives us the Tawfiq to take part in the
effort of rasulallah. Give us tofi swallahamdisha.
