Find my respected brothers, if we have to
look in a
Sharia explain
the state. Same
generally acts of Ibadah to acts of worship
or salah or zakat or Hajj, etc.
If you analyze and look at the Sharia Rasulullah SAS this only
comprises about 33% of the Sharia. 1/3 you 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 madrasahs, etc,
if it's a five volume piece of work, Salah kitabu, 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 assimilah Sala 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 Salla isallam was a bad
one.
He says, ya rasulallah deen
is alach in character.
So he went away,
and then
little while later, he came from the right side, Ya Rasulullah,
what is Deen? So
navisa Doesn't tell him, ashlaq in character.
So he went away, then he came from the left side,
Ya Rasulullah, what is Deen?
So navisa and saw him aflaq and character.
So he went away. Was a Bedouin, 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, maybe Salah zakat, hard Jihad here,
navisa is saying a clock in character.
So he came from the back.
Ya rasulallah, what is Deen? So then Ravis LaSalle said, why? You
don't want to understand. You don't want to accept what I'm
telling you. All right, don't become angry that he's been don't
become angry.
One person came to rasulallah said, Oh, Nia, rasala, Nabhi of
Allah, give me advice. Vishal said, Don't become angry. So he
said, 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 rasulallah, 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 ahadisa Rasulullah, sallAllahu,
Sallam pertain to the development of the ashraq and character of the
umbrella.
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 as What is Islam? He said, lean utala, 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, Afla
someone came and asked rasulallah, what is Iman? He said, Asmaa to
have
patience
and to overlook, to be kind with people, to be tolerant. That is
Iman.
Someone came and asked Ayu Islami, abza Ya rasulallah, what is the
highest form of Islam.
What is the highest Islam?
What I am saying? He said, mansali, man 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.
This.
Things, schemes. These things may seem severe.
We find 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 carrying malicious rumors, carrying tales.
This has become almost
a way of life for us.
He said, when that person from whose tongue and hands other
people are Shaykh, 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 business name.
Someone asked him, AYL, Imani, Abu, what is the highest level of
iman?
What is the highest level of iman? He
responded and said, Asla, good character, that is the highest
level of Imam
at Malu mean, Iman and as the
most common, the most complete, the most perfect believer, so far
as Iman is concerned, is that person whose AK in character is
the best.
So this akhlaq in character has to be learned very speculative. The
famous hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu sallam. 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 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. Boonie, Al Islam starts with these five
things, shahada, dalailah, 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
mascara. Then 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, Boon 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, BOAI tuli utamim makarima, ala
Allah kala sent Imam is what 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
aslark 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 respective 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 ummats. 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, eh, 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 fires are burning in the homes of them. But because of things
like this,
one sahabi, his name was Hadi sab Muhammad Ali Allahu taala, and
amongst the galaxy at Sahaba
two Sahabas especially were known among Sahaba ikiram fahid of the
mothers, one was Asmaa, nadiallahu Taran, and other was harisha bin
Raman, Nadiya laho, Dana,
Ayesha, radiallana says about harisha bin Raman that he would
comb the hair of his mother.
He would clean, remove the lips and lice from her hair. He would
oil her hair. He would cook food for her.
He would break the morsels of food and feed his mother.
And such was the level of respect he had for his mother, that if his
mother told him to do something, if his mother told him to do
something and he didn't hear the first time, he would not give her
the cliff of repeating herself, but he would ask his wife, he
would leave the room, and then ask his wife, what did my mother say
so that I may carry out what she asked me to do?
It was the practice of Rasulullah Sallam that after Fajr Salah,
every day, he would ask Sahaba Kiram if they had seen any dreams,
and he would interpret those dreams. Sometimes he would relate
his own dreams. So one day, he chose Sahaba Kiram nimtu I was
sleeping last night for the aitna and Allah Tala showed me the dream
of Jannat. Allah took me to Jannat in my dream for Samya to sotakare,
I heard the Tirath of someone in Jannat, someone was leaving Quran
way in Madina, someone was leaving Quran in Madina, his Tirath,
rasulallah Sassan says I heard in Jannat.
Where's Jannat and where's Madina?
So I asked,
whose kirat is this? The response was given to me by the maraca that
that is the kirat of your sahabi, harisha bin Noman.
Harisha bin Noman was leaving Quran in Medina, Allah rasoolam
could hear his Tirath in Jannat, and then Navis lasalan said, Allah
gave him that makam and status because of the khidmat that he
made of his mother.
He said, In the Jannat at TAFTA, aka dam il umahaa, Jannat is under
the feet of the mother
when it comes to khidmat, we want the wives to make hindmar. We are
not prepared to make hindmar. We are not prepared to see it as the
rights of our parents.
Because
if a wife, a good wife, should do it, definitely for consideration
of her husband, she should do it, no doubt about. But to make this
an issue of argument, to make this an issue of disputes taking place
in the home is because of lack of knowledge. So that
is why it is very, very important, my respect to brothers, that we
acquire the knowledge
of the Hadees of Aslam, that what he brought alive in his ummats,
like I said, I was digressing. The point you were making is, why is
it that majority of his teachings, which are almost 66% pertain to
this aspect, and only 33% pertain to aspects of Ibadan? The reason
Allah gave is that rasulallah, sallam was sent as a rahmat and a
mercy for the entire humanity.
His fiqh, His concern was for the whole world. If you look at the
world population today, your Salah, your zakat, your tirawat,
your zikrullah, your HUDs, only 1/5 of the world population is
exposed to that.
What is the medium? What is the instrument by which the rest of
humanity is going to learn about Islam?
What is the medium, or the instrument by which the rest of
humanity is going to be attracted toward Islam is when this ummat
will incorporate in their lives, the Asmaa can character of janami
Rasulullah.
That is the thing
that will make like Muhammad laksa, one of others. He says, if
you bring within your life the Asmaa of the sundastas, and
sometimes when you see a ripe fruit, just when you visualize, or
you look at that right, lovely fresh mango, can see the juice in
the thing, just by looking at it, your water comes in the mouth. He
says, If we will bring the aklaq and character of Rasulullah in our
lives, the non Muslims will look at us and water will come in their
mouth. They will want to become like they will want to become like
this.
That is why Sahaba used to say Kumu mitlana, become like us. And
people used to.
Upward Islam,
the first rivaya.
Sadhu Isham says, I asked Ayesha umul mumini Radi Allahu. Anha,
again, I'm digressing. You'll notice most
of these rivayas, which has a mahisu Sabra, kutu Ali has chosen
under this chapter of akhlaq of rasulallah silam, and find that
the narrator, majority of the yard,
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, the Shah 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 her husband. Asmaa,
because that akra can character is not there in our homes.
And we see most of these rewired. They say Roku Alihi, the best
amongst you is you is best to his family members. If you want to
know the akhlaq and character you can bluff the whole world is very
easy when you know the aflaq 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 aflaq 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 akla and character was the Quran. In other
words, he was a living Quran,
Abu dardi Allahu, Tala na Raj that I asked ay Saudi, ala wa da aflaq
of rasulallah Shila, she said his AF was the Quran, what Allah
invocated happiness within the Quran he would become happy with,
and what Allah ADGER within the Quran he would become angry with.
Zayd bin Baba nu says, we asked Isa Al mulminen That o Mun
mukminin, how is the aklaq of Rasulullah sallallahu sallam? She
said, Do you not read surah munun, referring to the first 10 verses
of Sudha mukmin Allah. Tala says, But aflaq al muminza, Kati Fay
Loon,
Allah,
hafidun, Ullah, iqum alvari, Tun al Lana, yarit al fildos, whom
fihalidu.
No time to go into the details, but the first 10 verses, Surah
mukhinoon, wherein Allah gala describes. Allah says, mini the
mukmin is successful. How successful he is the inheritor,
not just of Jannat, but Jannatul, filho Khalid. He will live there
in Word forever, if he will incorporate the aspects which
Allah Tala mentioned. Allah Gina, humfi, Salatin mukmin, is one who
in his salah, you will find him devoted in his salah, Ashu and
husu in his salah, when it comes to vain, useless talks, when it
comes to rebirth, that lighting, when it comes to Tom, Mat, slander
of others. Wala, dinhuman love, humoredun, you will not find him
involved in anything like that. Zakat is the order of Allah. He
carries it out. He protects his private path. He controls his
gaze, except where laatha has made it permissible with his wife, etc.
Beyond that, beyond the parameters and the hoodoos which Sharia has
set for him, he does not venture in that direction. And when it
comes to Amanat and trust you will find a mukbang, one who will
protect it in his financial interaction, also, he is correct.
He is just a nutshell, eight or nine verses of the Quran and Allah
says, These are the inheritors of Jannatul Siddhas. They will reside
there in forever. So she said, Do you not read that? That was the
character of Rasulullah sallallahu, alayhi wa sallam.
There's one more divide, and then we'll terminate, as he says, not
going to go very long tonight the listening. Get time to also make
the only valid
inshaAllah. And then the city Allah inshaAllah mean Ashad bin
Nashi looked fun. Allah, him, akana yam, tanyat in Bari that in
mean, abdin wala, min, ama tin WA.
For
Her
this
Translate
is we can see one was the aflaq of rasulallah. These are basic,
fundamental daily things that occurred in the life of rasulallah
by which we can gage and look within ourselves how much these
qualities have come in us.
Unless RadiAllahu says that the kindest of people Allah, even on a
very cold day, an ordinary slave or a slave girl or little child
from Medina would come to him with some water for barkat. He would
wash his face and his arms in that water, despite it being very cold
and any person asked him for anything. When anybody spoke to
him, he would take the trouble of bending his ear in the direction
of that person, and then he would keep his ear and his total
attention on that person until that person got tired and that
person turned away, and that person turned away. Then only he
would turn away.
Nobody caught hold of his hand, except that he would give them his
hand, and he was never the first to pull his hand away. That person
would get tired and leave his hand, then he would pull his hand
away, and Asmaa gala says and Rabbi Salaam isallam, if anyone
shook his hand, then he was never the one to pull his hand away
first, until that person pulled his hand away. And if anybody
sought his attention, he didn't just turn his face. He turned his
entire body in the direction of that person, and he would give
that person his complete attention until that person turned away. And
he says, I never saw him stretching his feet out in front
of anyone. He always adopted humility in front of everyone, in
front of anyone, another invite. He says, I have never seen anyone
who wanted to speak to NaVi salaam had gotten his attention and Navis
la Asmaa lent his ear towards that person. I never saw any instance
when Navis Ram was the first to turn away. He said always that
person was the person. That person who had sought his attention would
first get tired, then Nabhi salaam would turn away. And I never saw
anyone catch hold of the hand of rasulallah sallallam and him leave
the hand of that person until that person first pulled his hand away.
This was the greatest of Allah's creation.
There's no words that can possibly do justice in describing his
status, his honor, his dignity. Yet this was the manner in how
accessible he was to the people. Small child would come catch all
of his hand. Anybody could seek his attention at any time. And
when somebody spoke to him, he didn't just turn his head. He
turned his complete focus and attention towards that person.
That person would get tired. Then only he would turn away,
completely accessible. In fact, he comes in the wire that when navies
was sitting with his Sahaba, he would adopt a position of such
humility that many, many comes outside of a Medina will come and
would ask a yukum, Minna Muhammad, who is Muhammad amongst you? I
heard about Muhammad Sallallahu, is Muhammad amongst you? In other
words, he would not even adopt a posture which would discern him
from the rest that level of humility he had, and this was the
thing that engendered his love in the hearts of people, anyone who
saw him or interacted with him, he.
