radi Allahu Allahu Allah. This companion Sandi Broussard, during the life of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was from the youngest companions from the youngest companions of the unsought of Medina. And he was the last of the companions to pass away in the city of Medina, after the death of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, a young companion, but still a prolific narrator of Hadith. In this particular Hadith enrich that the Prophet said sallallahu alayhi wa sallam or in de la Hosea you know it was shot. Well my Fatiha region photo ballymun Jana hula hoop miftah handle heavy metal upon a sharp while we do Limon Jana hula who mythological military miftah honey sharp, the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam the role of the good and all of the evil it is known to Allah. Allah has knowledge of everything. His knowledge encompasses everything Allah knows all the good that is upon this Earth and in the heavens and all the evil that is upon this earth. Well, my Fatiha region, but the good and the evil that we have in this world, it's keys of people, me and you, we are the keys that determine whether we do something good or we do something evil. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam tuba glad tidings and blessings. Lemon Jara, whom la who Mr. Handle Hail to the one that a large Virgil has made them a key to goodness, mira la policia, and a lock upon evil will
Waylon and woe betide the one destruction and punishment for the one lemon Jalla hula who Mr. Hanley shall remain up and inhale for the one that is a key to evil, and they are a lock upon God. This Hadeeth like many of the of the hadith of our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is concise within its words and its statements, but it is comprehensive and full of meaning. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in this hadith is pointing and drawing our attention to a number of key aspects, not least of which is this concept of good and evil. You see, we are very quick, especially in the time that we live in to point the finger others and to see that there is evil because of so and so
and so and so, but often within our own communities. And if every person took it upon themselves, the onus and the responsibility to do what they can, within themselves and for the people around them, we have control over what we can do in terms of good and evil. Alonzo vigil has placed that ability within our hands, when when we see a situation transpire before us, when we deal with people, when we interact with others, when you come into the masjid and there's something that takes place or you're in the supermarket or you're on the road or you're at home with your family, you are the one who determines whether you will be a component of God or a component of evil. That is what
our Prophet son alone while he was still missing. The reward in this religion is for the one who trains themselves to be a key of goodness not only for themselves, in terms of earning wealth, and buying houses and cars and so on. But goodness in terms of benefiting others that is the meaning of goodness. In this hadith. Yes, you benefit yourselves and your families, but your remains of good and benefit for those that are around you. In the howdy savable hurry a lot of the a lot one clicks in a Timothy the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said Allah bureau can be highly recommend Shall we come? Shall I not inform you about the good amongst you, and how different they are from the evil
amongst you? He repeated this three times to the companions. And then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said hi eurocom Manu Raja who
was Shahrukh Khan Melayu Raja Pharaoh who was
the best form amongst you are those who are the people hope good from them, and they know that they are safe from the evil. But the worst of you are those who others don't hope for any good from them. Nor do they know Do they know or they know also that they are not safe from the evil. That is the definition of goodness and Evil Within our religion. So in the Quran, Allah subhanho wa Taala gives us examples of goodness, the life of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is full and replete with examples of goodness being a key, for good and for change. All of us live in a community and we live in a society. We have many issues that we deal with, whether it's an individual, personal and
family level, or whether it's us as a community, whether it's our society and the problems that we have just the social challenges that we face upon our streets, with our Shabaab, with our youth, drugs and alcohol and so on and so forth. All of these and all of us know people that are involved in one way or another to one to one extent, whether greater or lesser, one form or another, people who are involved in problems and issues that are illegal or harmful.
You have the opportunity to be a key of good or look for evil. Allah subhanaw taala has given you that ability, through advice through sincerity, through wisdom through gentleness through mercy through doing the right thing. A large soldier gives us an example of this in the Koran in the story of the Prophet of Allah Mousavi. Salatu was Salam. Mousavi cinemas Allah mentions in soloqueue apostles fleed from Egypt when he was a man and he was grown, as Allah mentions in the Quran, when he accidentally killed that Egyptian man and he fled, fleeing the fearing the oppression of Pharaoh. He fled, and he fled from Egypt and he came to a place called madeon wala Mata Jatin madeon. a
learner's xojo mentions in Sudoku puzzles in this passage, and this is before Musa alayhis salaam becomes a prophet of Allah. before Allah speaks to him on the mountain of a tour before he's given the Torah. before he's given a message to carry back to Pharaoh, Musashi. Sam comes to meridian. He's a stranger. He's a foreigner in this land. He's fearing for his own life running and escaping from oppression. But he comes into Medina and he sees a situation evolving in front of him. The situation he sees, well, I'm one of them. I met Deanna wotja. Dr. Lee you met him in a nasty a spoon? What was your dumb Indonesia Mama, a teenager Sudan, he saw a group of men, shepherds, all of
them a group of men with their flocks of sheep and with their flocks, going to a watering hole and using that water for their flocks. Well what did that mean Dhoni him or a teenager who then but then on the side he saw two women also with a flock of sheep, but they were standing to the side waiting for those men to finish by llama Hakuna. So Musa alayhis salaam has a choice. He's fearing oppression doesn't want to be known as escaping for his life. He's a foreigner in this land doesn't know the customs doesn't know what's going on. But he can see a situation and it doesn't seem right. Mr. Ali Salaam has the choice. Try to stay away Be quiet Go and hide somewhere not be seen or we can
try to help. So he goes to those two women and he says mahatva Kumar, what's wrong with him? Allah tala nasty.
They said that we don't go to this watering hole until these men finish. They don't have the chivalry. They don't have the generosity, the hospitality to say to us that you're women. You go first. And we don't want to go and hustle and bustle and push and jostle with these men at the watering hole. So we wait. Let them finish, then mogul. buena Sheehan Kadena. We have no men to do this forest. Our father is an elderly man. So Mousavi Islam now knows what the situation is. But again, he can make a choice. He can say okay, that's fine. It is what it is. And he goes, Oh, he can do something and be a key of goodness for support. Allahumma. So Allah says that he said to those
women, I will go to your flock for you. I will take it for you. And I will do this for you. This is something that those men, the other Shepherd should have done anyway. Or at least that those women go first. But when musante salaam sees this, he says for sakala Houma he goes and he waters that flock of sheep for them. So when Lars that when Jill mentioned in this passage, that as a result of this action from musante, Salatu was Salam. Moosa who was running from oppression didn't know where he was going, didn't know where he would go and hide or seek asylum. What his future would hold alarms though engine makes the simple act of goodness this key of goodness, a means for him settling
in madeon. he marries one of those two women, and for approximately 10 years, he will stay there. And it is when he leaves from madeon, that Alonzo will just give him revelation makes him a prophet of Allah subhana wa Tada. This is what the opponent teaches us being a key for goodness, in the story of the other prophet of Allah. Yusuf Ali, his salatu salam, when use of enters into jail into prison. Two people come to him as Allah mentions, what the * Americans cijena Fatah, young, two young men approached him in prison,
used to finding Sam business, see to them in jail, leave me alone, I have other issues to worry about. We know the story of use of our Instagram, the oppression that he went under, that he underwent from so many angles and from so many directions, the difficulty and the challenges and the trials that he faced, one after the other after the other. He's in prison and justly, being oppressed. There is no valid reason for him to be in prison. But when those two men come in, they say to him, but I had a woman in the aurania zero hombre, one of them said, I see that I'm pouring wine for someone in my dream. Lacan ahorro in Aurora in the RFO, currency hubs and Taku Minh, and
the other one said that I see myself being crucified and a bird coming and picking
Read from my head and a bit nabbit Will you tell us what it means? interpret these dreams for us in Iraq terminal machining, because we see that you seem to be a righteous man. You have the show of a righteous man. So you see, finally his sternum responds, and he tells them the meaning of that dream. As for one of you, you'll be saved from prison, you'll leave and you'll become a close advisor to the king. And as for the other one, you will die. You safale you send him tungsten, but he's also a key for goodness. Before he tells them the interpretation of this dream. He teaches them about Allah. He teaches them about the heat. He teaches them about the religion of Ibrahim and his
marriage and his help and jacoba him Salaam, his forefathers, being a key of goodness in every single aspect of your life. When we look at the life of our Prophet son alone, while he was seldom countless incidents, countless stories, where the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would be approached or something would take place, and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was a key for goodness. Just a simple example, in the conquest of Mecca, when the Muslims came and they conquered the city of Mecca, the vast majority of those people who were living in Mecca during the time were non Muslims. They were enemies to Islam, the likes of Abu Sufyan and his wife hin and Eric crema,
the son of Abu Jamal, and many others who are trying to destroy Islam and kill the Prophet son alone while he will send them but now the Muslims have come and conquered Makkah from amongst those people who was in Mecca and was not yet a Muslim was the father of Abu Bakar rhodiola one Abu hanifa and only man blind from old age, he is back bent over because of old age, his hair and his beard white because of old age, Abubakar rhodiola, one went to his father, Abu hanifa he took him by his hand, and he walked with Him to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, an elderly man, when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam saw a Boko Haram, the father of Abu Bakar, not your loved one and he
knows he's not a Muslim. He knows he hasn't accepted Islam, but he sees that the man is elderly, in need feeble, frail. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to Abubakar Why didn't you leave the Shahada home? The old man leave him at home, I would have gone to him. And then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam took the handle off and he said, don't you testify that Allah is alone worthy of worship, and that I am the messenger of Allah. And Abu hanifa took the Shahada became a Muslim in this elderly age, but look at the way that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is honoring him, saying I would have come to me I had more writer I should go to him. Even though he
was an elder, even though he's not he's not a Muslim. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used to be a key of goodness, and he would instruct his companions at the same time, to stay away from things which cause harm to others, things which cause distress to others. We have enough of our own sins and our own problems to worry about, without accumulating the sins of others upon our shoulders, carrying the burdens of others upon our shoulders. When the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would see distress being caused to the Muslims, even for more from amongst one of his companions, even in issues of Riba of worshipping Allah subhanho wa Taala were apparently it may
seem that it is a good thing, but because there is some difficulties some harm being caused. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would speak to his companions, he would advise them in the hadith of rock baby mama rhodiola one. He said that a man came to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and he said, Well La Jolla Rasul Allah, in Nila to Allah tala Dotty mean HD funan mimma ut luminous or messenger of Allah by Allah. I don't come to the Lahore prayer. I come right at the end I delay my praise turning the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam I do this on purpose because of the Imam so and so. Not in the Prophet's mosque in another place because of the Imam so and so in my
up loopiness because he prolongs his prayer too much makes the prayer too long. And we know that the general rule in Salam when you're praying at home and you're praying alone, the longer you're solid, the better that way to reward in the sight of Allah subhana wa Tada. But when there are people behind you praying when you have a congregation, and you don't know that each every individual situation and their issues and their problems and their appointments and what they have to do to be nice this email mix I will pray along the rate of the Hadith, he said Mara Ito Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam female revolt in a shutdown odoban Minami. I never saw the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam more angry in a sermon of his turn on that day. And he said to the people in the main kimono feeling from amongst you, there are people who turn others away from Allah. This man is the man
He's leading them in prayer. He's prolonging the Salah, in the mean kumana feeling from amongst you on those who turn others away from Allah. So and So if one of you wants to be the Imam failure to jawas let him make the prayer shorter for in a fee him odori for well kabiru alhaja because behind him, there are the elderly, and the sick. And those people who have other things to do. They have jobs, they have appointments, they have things that they need to go and busy themselves with. We have people in the shower, this is a ministry that is welcoming, but even in issues of rabada if you see someone in this Masjid, whether in the men's or the Women's Hall, and there are a new person, a
new face to you, and perhaps they making a mistake, perhaps they're not dressed appropriately. There is a way to approach them and be a key of goodness. And there is a way to approach them and be a lock of goodness. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is instructing and teaching the companions Be careful in the way that you approach people in the bedroom in man a Croma Kamala coming to the mission of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, go to the corner and begin to urinate. We know the Hadith, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam calmed his companions, because they became angry when they saw the system message in the house of Allah, and not just any house of Allah, the mustard
of our profits on a low while he was selling in Medina. But the prophet SAW silom calm them down. And he said, Let him finish. And when he finished, he told them to find water, and go and clean it. And he called the man and he said to him, these are the houses of Allah, therefore Salah for prayer, and for honor for the remembrance of Allah. And it is not the fitting that you do what you just did in a place like this. The man was so amazed by the character, the conduct of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that he said, Oh Allah, forgive me and forgive Mohammed, have mercy upon me and upon Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, because the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has a
situation, even though people have told him, perhaps they would have been within their rights. Perhaps it's something that most people would have accepted. But there's a way not only to stopping that evil, but transforming it into a means of goodness, teaching and educating the people and under the Hadeeth, in the center of unnecessary, it is collected that more out of the blue Jabba la de la one, the great, illustrious Companion of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, one of the most noble and most knowledgeable companions that lived during that time. What are the most enjoyable adiala one used to play Salah with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in mystery, the neverwet
he would pray there a sharp prayer in JAMA in congregation, and then he would leave and he would go to Oba which in those days was on the outskirts of Medina. And he would go and he would be the Imam for his own people. They wouldn't pray into the wilds came back when wild would come. Even though he's prayed. He would pray as another prayer as the Imam and they would pray their shot behind him. One day or one night, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam delayed the Orisha prayer because the customer normals of the Prophet Selim would wait for the people to gather from their jobs and their work and so on. So if they gathered earlier, he would pray early, and if they were slower, because
they're coming back late, he would wait until they gathered and then he would pray. So one night the prayer was delayed. Someone has prayed in Medina, and then he went to Oba and he began to pray Russia, and he started reciting Surah Al Baqarah, the longest surah of the Quran, a man who was praying behind him, left the Salah, broken Salah, went to the corner of the masjid prayed is Russia and mentor. Someone met him after this fella and he said enough. Have you committed hypocrisy? Have you committed hypocrisy? He said no by a lie hammer committed hypocrisy. But I will go to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and tell him what took place. So the next day he came to Medina
and he said O Messenger of Allah. He plays Russia with you. And then when he comes back, especially when the Russia is delayed, he comes back and he plays with us. And he is the Imam and he recite Surah Al Baqarah. So I left the salah and I prayed my own prayer and I went home because I'm a shepherd. I'm a farmer. I wake up early in the morning, I have work to do. So the profits on wireless or send them home while and he said a turn on anti Jamar
Do you wish to cause fitna for the people? Do you wish to cause people trials within their religion, but rather unwired when you lead with such and such a swirl, and the professor seldom told him the types of lengths of sources that he should restart? The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam didn't say anything to that man who broke his prayer. didn't say anything to that man who left the salah and did his own thing and went home because he has a valid reason. And the prophet SAW Allah while he was cinemas instructing wild rhodiola one that he needs to be aware of the situation of the people be a key for goodness and a lock upon evil. That is when a large

sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi wa sahbihi wa seldom at the Sleeman kathira, Amanda,
from amongst the components of this Hadeeth and the meanings of these words of our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam being a key for goodness is wanting good for others. When you advise someone, when you see someone making a mistake, you speak to them with that intention that you want goodness for them, that you want to play it for them, that you want benefit for them. The point of advising people of speaking out when you see mistakes, of even just meeting with other people and interacting with them is not to put them down or to displace them or to humiliate them, but rather it is to seek and want goodness for them. Genuine goodness. That is your intention. First and
foremost. Remember, Chef Rahim Allah, Allah said that I never debated with another person, except that I wanted a lot to bring the truth upon his tongue, not upon my turn upon his tongue, because he wanted good for his brother just as he wanted good for himself. And from the components in the meanings of this Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is that when you see people, and especially your fellow Muslims, your brothers and sisters being attacked in any way, shape and form, you're not happy, and you don't rejoice that they're being put down. We live in a time now when many people are attacking Islam. And the way that they attack Islam is that they attack certain groups,
this group because of the way that they address this group, because of the way that they act, that group because of the way that they do something. And even though we may have differences with people in terms of their beliefs, and so on, and those are correct and valid issues. At the same time, we don't rejoice when we see other Muslims being put down, because today it is them. Tomorrow, it will be us. Amongst the Arabs, there is a famous story of the three bones, a Black Bull or white pole and a Red Bull. A lion wanted to come but he couldn't eat the three bones. So he went to two of those bones. And he said, I don't want to I want the white board. Leave me alone, they may take the white
bone or leave you alone. They agree better he takes him than us. So he goes the line goes and he kills and eats the white bone. But after a few days, it becomes hungry again. So this time, he wants to take the other two boards, the red and the black one. But again, they can take both of them down. So he goes to the black pool and says I don't want you I want the red one. Leave me alone and I'll leave you alone. The Black Bull says okay, better me than better him than me. So he goes and he eats the red barn. But the line being Eliana for a few days comes back and it's hungry. And now we corners. The Blackboard. Its alone has no friends to help it has no one to come to its aid. So when
this bull sees this, it says that I died the day that white bull died, the day that I gave up my principles the day that I let you eat that white ball. That's the day that I seal my own fate. So we as Muslims need to understand being a key of goodness means that you want good for the people. And when they make mistakes, there is a way and a manner in which to advise them in which you bring them closer to goodness. Whenever you call someone out and disgrace them and humiliate them publicly. We will never accept this from anyone. Why would anyone else there is hikma in the way that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used to correct people, the way that he used to speak to people, the way
that he used to advise people. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam wanted us to be a key of God. I want to leave you with a final Hadith had ether is narrated by Abu Jorge rhodiola one that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was sitting with his companions and these sort of janaza a funeral procession go past them. So the people began to praise the deceased person, speak of them in terms of goodness. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said what Java but whatever it has been written, it has been written, it has been written, and then after a while, another funeral procession or another janaza passed by, but this time that people didn't have glowing terms to speak
of concerning that person. They didn't say anything good. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said what Shabbat whatever but whatever but it has been written, it has been written and has been written out of the Allahu ansaru messenger of Allah. Journalism and passed, the people praised it and he said it's been written and then a journalism and passed
The people didn't see anything good. And you said it's been written what's been written. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said your words, your testimony. For those people it had been written al melodica, to Shahada, Allah if you want to Shahada, Allah evil or the angels of Allah, they are the witnesses of a line the heavens and new meaning the people, you are the witnesses of Allah upon this earth. When people speak of you're in good terms because of the goodness that you bring to other people that is inshallah a sign of goodness for you. But if the people don't have anything good to speak of about you, they don't have anything good to say about you, then that is something that
should cause alarm bells to ring should make you stop and think about the way that you are, be a key of goodness, a lock upon evil, and seek refuge in Allah from being a key of evil and a lock upon goodness. Rest alarms, the legendary shows his blessings upon us and our community. And that alarm soldier keeps us firm upon the straight path, and that a lot protects us and our children and our families and our community, from every type of trial, whether great or small, whether a parent or hidden, was a large soldier that he shows his mercy and blessings upon us, that he forgives us for our sins, that he enters into the highest ranks of gender, wrestlers, diligent and explicity of
drama that relieves the distress of our brothers and sisters across the world. And that a large soldier makes their affairs easy for them, that a lot kills those from amongst us that are ill, and he forgives and has mercy upon those from amongst us that have passed away.
