Respected brothers, if we have to look and Sharia, the Rasulullah
sallallahu Sallam ulama
explained
the same
generally, acts of Ibadah to acts of worship,
or salah or zakat, our Hajj, etc.
If you analyze and look at the Sharia da rasulallah, this only
comprises about 33% of the Sharia, 1/3 and what is the other two
thirds of Shariat? They say more than two thirds of
the Sharia the Rasulullah sallallahu, alayhi wa sallam, what
he brought,
even if you look in the books of fifth
or Islamic jurisprudence, what is caught in the madres, etc,
if it's a five volume piece of work, Salah kita, Abu som Kitab
Hajj,
this will comprise only about one or one and a half volumes.
The other three and a half volumes, what will that be
say teaching this human being how to interact and live with his
fellow human being.
Majority of what the civil laws allow Islam brought comprises of
that.
Unfortunately nowadays, our whole concept or idea of what is being
is generally constricted and confined to what we call aspects
of Ibadan,
so that in the masjid,
we find that the person portrays one thing, certain amount of
dindari, certain amount of piety, seems evident. But the moment the
same person goes outside the masjid,
whether he is in his business place or he walks in his house, he
is dealing with his children, then he completely different person. He
becomes
because our understanding and perception of what is Deen has
become very, very limited. We have confined it
one person. Once, he came to rasulallah SallAllahu, sallam was
a bad one.
He
says, ya rasulallah, deen is aflaq in character.
So he went to V,
and then
little while later he came from the right side. Ya Rasulullah,
what is being
so, navigating aflaq in character.
So he went to v, then he came from the left
side. Yara, what is being
so, navisa and told him aflaq and character.
So he went away. Was a beggar and simple person.
Lived in the desert all his life. So this answer, this response,
didn't make sense to him, because he is understanding what we
understand being to be abhi salah, zakat, hard Jihad here navisa is
saying a clock in character.
So he came from the back.
Is Deen. So then Ravis lasal said, bye. You don't want to understand.
You don't want to accept what I'm telling you. All right, don't
become angry. That is being rataha.
Don't become angry.
One person came to rasulallah, bhi of Allah. Give me more advice. He
said, Don't become angry. He said, Give me more advice. Don't become
angry. Said, Give me more advice. He said, Don't become angry. He
said, Give me more advice. I don't become angry. He said, Ya
Rasulullah, give me more advice. Said, Don't become angry. He said,
Ya Rasulullah, give me even more advice. I don't become angry seven
times. Same question, same answer.
So much of emphasis.
If you look at the wealth of ahadisha, Rasulullah, sallAllahu,
Sallam pertain to the development of the akhlaq in character of the
ummat.
Someone once came and asked Allah, what is Islam?
Somebody asked you today, what is Islam? What will answer?
They say, the five pillars, that's Islam. They
asked me a rasulallah, What is Islam? He said, lean on Kalam. I'm
to speak kindly to people,
to have a soft attitude when you speak, and to feed people. He
said, That is Islam. In other words, as someone
came and asked Rasul Asmaa, someone came and asked rasulallah
to have patience
and to overlook, to be kind with people, to be tolerant. That is
Iman.
Someone came and asked a Islami absala, what is the highest form
of Islam.
What is the highest Islam?
One answer again, he said, mansali Muslim,
that person from whose tongue and hands other people are safe, that
is the highest form of Islam.
That is every time he opens his mouth.
Schemes. These things may seem trivial,
define my respective brothers. We just have to analyze and look at
our lives. How much are these things really there?
Every time we open our mouth? Are people safe?
What comes out?
Are we in any
way? Do roses come out or thorns come out?
Do we encourage people or do we hurt the hearts of people?
Backbiting, malicious spelling, malicious rumors, carrying canes?
This has become almost
a way of life for us.
He said, when that person from whose tongue and hands other
people are safe, he is a Muslim, that is the best Muslim,
Allah rasam kura said, that person who spends the whole night in
salah or every day he fast. He is the businessman.
Someone asked him, eyul, Imani, Afghan, what is the highest level
of iman?
What is the highest level of iman?
He responded and said, Haslam, good character that is the highest
level of iman
at Mall, meaning Iman and as the
most common, the most complete, the most perfect believer, so far
as Iman is concerned, is that person whose ala in character is
the best.
So this akhlaq in character has to be learned by his speculative the
famous hadith of rasulallah Islam. He said, bunyal Islam, wala comes
that the foundation of Islam is on five things.
Unfortunately, we have restricted and confined Islam to these five
things.
What we don't realize in our respective Brothers is that
one is the building itself, the other is the foundation. He said,
The foundation is these five things. He didn't say, Islam is
these five things. Boon. Islam starts with these five things,
shahada, dablailah, illallah, Muhammad, a Salah, som, zakat and
hajj. This is the foundation. If you put foundation, that's not the
end of it.
No, they say sometimes to finish a building off. Those that are
involved in construction will tell you to finish a building off costs
more than putting the building up itself.
And if you don't finish the building, if there's no light,
there's no water, there's no electricity, there's no
comfortable furniture, etc, that house, you may have built a
palace. You may have built an absolute Palace, but if you didn't
finish it off,
leave inviting anyone else to stay there, you yourself won't stay
there. They say,
sometimes it cost you 1 million to put the palace on because another
2 million to put the finishes. Just ask the mastarat, and you'll
find out
this type of carpet and that type of the furnishing color must be
like this, and that must be matching so much more emphasis on
the finishing
in our deen also, he said, buniyan Islam, Islam starts here.
What is the culmination? What's the perfection, what's the
completion?
For that, we have to look at another Hadith of Rasulullah,
wherein he said, boa Tuli, utam, Imam means
culmination, Completion, perfection, to take something to
its height. So he said the completion perfection, the height
of my Deen, is what makarima As in character.
How you are supposed to interact with your wife,
how the wife is supposed to deal with the mother in law,
how we what is the right of the wife? What is the right of the
mother? What is the right of your father?
What is the right of your staff in your business?
How are your financial your social interactions supposed to be
one of the main causes, my respected brothers, for why these
things are not present in our life is because this requires Ill also.
It
requires knowledge, and
unfortunately, nowadays we are too busy to acquire the knowledge of
Me.
That is why there's fires burning in the homes of the woman. How
many homes I'm digressing now.
Husband is fighting with a wife. You don't you don't see to my
mother.
You don't look after my mother. You don't do this for my mother.
You don't do that for my mother,
if you look in Shariat, if she makes khidmat of your mother, it
is her a son,
you are supposed to be making your mother's khidmat.
You are supposed to be looking after her. You are supposed to be
seeing to her needs. You.
The first rivaya.
Sadhguru. Nisha says, I asked Ayesha umul minivadi, Allahu, aha,
again, digressing, you'll notice most
of these rivaya visaya mahilali has chosen under this chapter of
akhlaq of rasulallah, we find that the narrator, majority of the yr
are the family members of rasulallah,
because they say the starting point of your akhlaq in character
is where is in your home,
your wife, your children, your parents, if you want to know the
akhlaq and character of a person, they say, will ask his wife
nowadays,
like we heard, they say, the only time the wife will speak good
about the husband is before she is married and after he dies.
In between is very, very rare or scarce that you find any wife
saying anything good about Asmaa,
because that akra can character is not there in our homes,
we see most of these rewihats. They say rukum, khairukumi, Alihi,
the best amongst you is used best to his family members. If you want
to know the Akan character, you can bluff the whole world is very
easy when you know the akhlaq and character of a person,
that you will find from his parents, you will find from his
children, you will find from his wife, you will find from his
staff. They will tell you about the akhlaq and character of a
person, and you see that most of these. Diva the first one,
Sadhguru Isham says, I asked Ayesha umul Meaning, tell me about
the akhlaq and character of rasulallah. She said, Don't you
read the Quran? I said, Yes. So she said his akhlaq and character
was the Quran. In other words, he was a living Quran.
Abu dardi Allahu, Tala narayits, that I asked Aysa Radi Allahu, Abu
said his aflaq was the Quran. What Allah invocated happiness within
the Quran he would become happy with, and what Allah dala
indicated anger within the Quran he would become angry with.
Zayd bin Baba nu says we asked Aysa, a woman, meaning, how is the
aklaq of Rasulullah sallallahu sallam. She said, Do you not read
surah mumin, referring to the first 10 verses of Sudha munun,
zakat, IFA Alon,
Allah,
a no time to go into the details,
but the first 10 verses Minun, wherein Allah gala described,
Allah says mini the movement is successful. How successful he is
the inheritor, not just of Jannat, but Jannat ulfil, those whom fi ha
khalidul. He will live there in work forever, if he will
incorporate the aspects which Allah Tala mentioned, Allah Dinah,
humfi, Salatin, khashoun a mukmin is one who in isallah, you will
find him devoted in isallah, in his salah, when it comes to vain,
useless talks, when it comes to Viva that lighting, when it comes
to Tom mat, slander of others. Wala, dinhuman love. Hui, maidun,
you will not find him involved in anything like that. Zakat is the
order of Allah. He carries it out. He protects his private part. He
controls his gaze, except where Allah has made it permissible,
which is one.
