Smilla Heywood hamdu lillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah or other early he or Saheeh he was salam
ala Hama Ignacio the critico Ashok Rickover. Hasni vertic Allahumma. Illumina may in fact one out one fan of Mr. Olympia now was in human, audible al Amin.
So now we've reached
chapter 11.
In Kitab o'clock
in the book of the softness of the heart from sahakari Rahim Allah and the title of this chapter, Bob will now put them I mean murli he for who Allah.
The title of it is whatever he has spent in his life, maka dama. He has hastened. So whatever he had spent in his life from his wealth, that is his meaning that is his money.
Meaning not the one that he delays or leaves behind and it's taken directly from that single Hadith under that chapter. So in that chapter, there's just one Hadith and the title is taken directly from it.
So what is this hadith he says kala Abdullah any Abdullah Abdul Masood
are the Allahu Anhu he said that the messenger Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said or asked, Are you calm? miroir? Is he a hub really him in Mali? Says who among you?
The money of his air, meaning the money that he leaves behind and it is heralded. So the money of his air is more beloved to him than his own money. Who among you loves their money, the money that they will inherit more than his money?
So he said, Yeah, Rasul Allah, He mamina had an ILA man who had Bula he says, O Messenger of Allah, there's none among us, but that he loves his money more.
So he said, some Allahu Allah was sitting on for ina Mariela Hallmark Khuddam WeMo to worry for him at UCLA. He says his money is the one that he spent, while he's alive, meaning Lila for Allah azza wa jal wamalwa reefy. And the money of his heir is the one that he leaves behind, meaning saves until he dies, and others inherit after him.
So Subhanallah here, you understand that the process of Nollywood film is redefining what it means for you to have money, and what it means for you to have not have it. So what do we think?
We think or we believe when we act, right, because that just it's it
motivates that belief motivates our actions. We believe that as long as I have money, that money is mine.
And if I spend it, that money is not mine anymore, right?
So here are sort of lies I want to say let me saying to you find the money that you save, and you keep saving, and you keep saving and you die. Whom does it go to all of your heirs?
Is that your money? It isn't really your money because you just kept it for them. There was an safekeep with you, like if I come and give you money and say, keep it for me. So you keep it for me? Is it your money? So your money so it's for them that you were keeping and saving and earning? So where is your money? Your actual money? He sets a lot of your salary is the money that you spent? macadam, he doesn't mean here that you just wasted No, he doesn't mean that but he means the money that was given to Allah azza wa jal to please Him and to do things with it that please Him. That is your money.
So here he is Allahu silom is urging you to spend for the sake of Allah azza wa jal. And by the way, when we say for the sake of Allah when you spend on your family,
and you put Allah in your mind when you do it, that is for the sake of Allah. So when you feed your spouse and you feed your children, and you shelter them, and you buy them clothes and you buy them via a vehicle to be able to transport, Yanni, without access without luxury without wastefulness, but when you buy these things for them, Lila in your mind, I want to do this for Allah Zoda and also because I love them, but for Allah, that is the money that is spent and it will be counted for you.
Even the things that you feed yourself
If you do it, the law has ordered because you feed yourself with instinct. You don't need to think about it, I'm hungry, I'm gonna look for food to eat. But if a good intention accompanies that work, you feed yourself out of obedience to Allah azza wa jal, then Allah rewards you for that even for the food that you eat.
So, this hadith tells you that if you keep and some of us, especially if you have children,
we think like you have to keep saving and saving and saving as much money for them. And I'm not going to spend anything, because they want to save it all for them.
The prosecutor Rasulullah Salallahu Salam is saying that you need to rethink this. Because the money that you are saving,
is not really yours, and it's not on may not benefit you.
And the money that you spend when someone Allah says spent for my sake to build a masjid, to satisfy somebody's hunger, to teach the person the Quran, whatever it is, that that is pleasing to Allah, even though it seems like you lost it is not in your hand. It is with Allah for you.
The money that you keep saving and saving, and if you save out of greed, I'm not going to spend because if I spend, I'll have less money. So let me just keep it to myself. And you look at your bank account and you see see how much the money is growing. See the how the money is growing. And Allah azza wa jal is telling you, if you are going to die without spending that money, it turns out that it was in your money and doesn't benefit you. And there are too many a couple of things that may happen. You're the heirs may receive it. And if they do good things with it that are pleasing to Allah, they get the reward not you.
And if they receive it and it corrupts them,
there is a potential that you may be responsible for it.
Now, this is not an invitation to deny your heirs everything meaning that if Allah azza wa jal wants me to spend why not I spent all of my money and not leave my children anything Allah will take care of them. Not leave my spouse anything Allah will take care of her. Not leave my parents anything Allah will take care to to spend everything
we say you know,
because of a Salah is Allah Allahu alayhi wa sallam said on another occasion to Saudi Arabia world class in untether or orthodox Athenia
three Roman Antara home Allah tinea taka for fauna nurse that you will leave your heirs rich, rich here Athenia means have enough, not overwhelmed and wealthy rich know that they have enough better that you leave them poor asking and begging people for money. So yes, you have to walk a middle path on the one hand, you leave and you save family for your money for your family, you do that. But at the same time, you don't deny yourself the virtue of spending money for the sake of Allah out of either two things. One, I want to keep it all to myself or to I want to keep it all to my family. This money is yours. Prove that it's yours by giving it to Allah as just so that you will find it
when you meet him Subhana wa Tada. So every amount of dollar that you spent for Allah is $1 that is yours. Every dollar that you save, could be yours, but we may not.
So if you work hard, and a lot of people I know where they work hard
and they Subhanallah they barely save.
But if you're able to save something, don't deny yourself the blessing of spending for the sake of Allah azza wa jal
and the cleansing power of sadaqa because when you give you cleanse yourself of attachment, so Maluka were made very thick, the old money and the money of those who will inherit you. Your money is the money that you will spend. So spent and we said moderation we're not saying give everything
and leave them without and without money, we say give enough and save enough balance inshallah. And you can be by the way, you know, somebody may say the
Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Anhu
gave all of his money. Remember, he gave all of his money to the messenger SallAllahu wasallam when he was asked for sadhaka
the Sudoku so he brought all of his money and Omar brought half of it. You say they can't I do this.
We say this call is
said first
The problem is that you do not have the Eman of Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Anhu and your family does not have their Tawakkol in their Iman aboubaker could give everything and trust Allah azza wa jal and not turn against Allah when he notices that hey, I don't have anything at home.
Why was I so foolish? Why was I so hasty? Why did I give everything and his family's not gonna do this? Second they say that Abu Bakr Radi Allahu anhu, he had a job. So yeah, he gave everything today he doesn't have anything. But tomorrow, he could go and earn something else and he could feed them. So no one is asking you, because the prophets always send them is saying if the mentor all begin with the ones that you are responsible for, that's your first sadaqa. So one add on asks you go and donate for people overseas or for a masjid and deny your family. No one is saying this. So walk the middle path where you feed them, you clothed them, you save for them. At the same time, you
don't corrupt them with money, and you don't deny yourself the virtue of sadaqa
the next chapter is baboon a look through the whole movie alone.
A look through Runa.
And that title comes again from a hadith that will read a look through and those who have plenty, or those who have less, meaning those who have plenty in this life will be those who have less on the Day of Judgment. Or in other words, those who are rich in this life will be those who are poor on the Day of Judgment right?
So he says we'll call who to Allah and Allah saying that so this is part of the heading up out of the chapter.
McKenna you read will hire the dunya was in at the Hannover fair lay him out Amanda home fear won't be held her soon. Well that you can live in LA salaam Villa Theertha Ilana Wahhabi Toamasina Alfie How about you to McKenna Yeah, I'm alone means Allah also says to confirm that point. Men can or you read will hire the dunya was Hinata the one who desires this worldly life at its beauty? No Athena him I'm alone fee here we will give them the rewards of their actions and deeds in full and they will not be shortchanged. Then Allah says, Those who will have nothing in the hereafter except *, Ilana except the fire. Well habito ma Sana Ophelia. And what they did is of no use without sudo
McKenna Yeah, I'm alone and what they did was invalid in itself.
Allah azza wa jal here is referring to who see the scholars said, one opinion is that it says these are the kuffaar and the hypocrites when they work do they work and consider the hereafter? They don't? Do they work for your afterlife? Do they consider it? No? What do they work for? Only
the dunya. That's their entire effort. They move only for the sake of the dunya
and they work only for the sake of the dunya and they have no intention for anything in the era. So Allah is saying here, if you desire this worldly life and its beauty, meaning only then Allah azza wa jal will give you your reward from it in ways that Allah azza wa jal sees fit and will not shortchange you. You want to be successful you work for it, Allah azza wa jal could give you that. Maybe not, but he could give you that. You want to be famous.
Allah azza wa jal could give you that you can do anything you can sell your soul to be famous.
Sell your honor to be famous, sell your privacy to be famous, Allah Azza who could give you some thing, you want to be powerful politically. And you want to crush people, Allah, Allah, Allah could give you some of that or maybe none of it, according to his wisdom, you want to be powerful, economically very rich. Allah azul could give you some of that. Allah's or if you are nice.
You don't believe in the hereafter and you're basically nice and kind. Allah rewards you for that in the dunya as well. And he the calf here, the non believer who does good things in this life, does it go unrewarded? No, Allah rewards him. How? Because he only one at this life. Allah rewards him in this life. So how does he reward him? By having health,
better kids, success in his business, people like him, good neighbors, whatever it is, there's no limit to it, protection from disease, protection from enemies, he could give him that. So he works for the dunya and Allah gives them in the dunya. Then Allah says then when they arrive in the what happens
hubba
bout. It's just invalid everything they did the left behind. It's of no value when they arrive. So the only thing that is for them is hellfire. Because they did not desire Jana, they didn't run away from Johanna.
So some scholars said this is for the kuffaar. And for the hypocrites, others have said no, also Muslims could be involved in it included in that. Why? Because when you seek
the dunya with the era with the actions of the ACA, meaning that when you pray, and you pray for people's affection.
And when you donate or when you fast, or when you speak, meaning you do religious things, for people's praise, then your work is invalid. So when you arrive and you meet Allah azza wa jal that could take you to hellfire.
Or a Muslim who lives in essence, like a cafe, though he's not a cafe, but like a cafe only for the dunya and does nothing for the euro, he may arrive on the Day of Judgment with few good deeds that he has to visit first hellfire.
And then goes if he has Iman and Islam, and we assume that then he goes to heaven.
So this is why Allah Azza did is saying that if your desire if your focus if your main attention if the only thing that you want from your life is the dunya will give you the dunya. But when you arrive in the Accra, what will you have? That's the essence of the essence of it, what will you have, all the work for the dunya will be gone, all of it.
All of it, all the money is gone, all the fame is gone. All that you're able to accomplish all those who followed you on Instagram or Facebook, all of those are gone, you will arrive poor without anything. So that's why you want to think about what will not be Bulkley on the Day of Judgment.
The thing that will mean valid even though I've died and this earth is no longer there. What is the thing that will continue to exist?
The hadith here.
And it's an interesting Hadith
with auroral the Allahu Anhu says that he's the narrator of this hadith. So he says it'll the Allahu Anhu he says how much delay that's a minute Layali it is one of those nights I came out of my house. And I saw the messenger SallAllahu Sallam walking alone. And there is no one with him just by himself.
For Lenin tussah I thought that he may hate that there that there'll be somebody else with him to walk with Him, meaning that Buddha wanted to be his companion and walk next to him. But he thought I suppose or I thought or believed that he may not want company. So for y'all to MCV a little calmer. So I walked by a far from him far enough, right in darkness that is not under the light of the moon. So the moon provides light. So I wasn't walking under the light of the moon. But when it's dark, I would walk there, meaning I was invisible. I didn't make myself visible to him. Somalia was in there, but from a distance and in the darkness and walking there.
Filter for the for oni and by the way you want you may wonder why was he walking after the profits of a lot he was sitting on following him. It was out of concern you will see in the other
Hadith narration it's out of concern.
And it's also out of love. You see him alone. And he said he may need something out of concern. Maybe somebody will attack him or something that will attack him I'll be there to defend him. So you walk behind without disturbing him, but far enough so that also are close enough so that if he needed something he would be there to help.
So so he turned to me and he saw me and he says who's this
noun who is the Who's that? And he said a Buddha JAL and Isla houfy Duck, it says it is a Buddha. May Allah azza wa jal, you know, may I be ransom for you? Or mail if there's any harm that will come? May it come to me instead of you. So that's a way that the Arabs used to speak Jad any Lo Fi duck, may Allah Allah so it will harm you or may harm come to me instead of you. May I be a ransom for you something like that.
And in him salatu salam asking men how the Who is this? He didn't know who was following him right. So that tells you also and confirms to you that the Prophet sallallahu wasallam is a human being with limits
Haitians in knowledge, not that he knows everything. That's obvious here, right? In another Hadith when one of the Mothers of the Believers told him that as a Zeynep came to ask this and that
so he said I use a and it says which Xena right? He doesn't doesn't know salon to use unless Allah tells him so he said I'm Abu Jad any low feedback he says a water tan. So he said I walked beside him. Then he said salon he was Sydenham in an MK theory and a hormone mocha Luna yomo Qiyamah those who have a lot will be with those who have little on the Day of Judgment Illuminata hola hola. Except the home Allah Atsuta had given him wealth Payra furniture heavy he Amina who was she mela who Albania they who are who I mean if he had a Euro, unless you're a person who Allah had given him wealth, and he gave it in to the front, to the right to the left and to the back. And he did good
things with it, meaning he gave it everywhere he could to everybody he can, meaning he spent abundantly for the sake of Allah azza wa jal.
Then he says then I walked with him for a while, and then he told me sit right here
for Judas, and if you're caught in holo he Jarrah so he sat on a flat piece of land and there are rocks to hit both sides.
So he said, Sit right here until I get back to you. fontanella COVID Herrera, and he walked to a place called Al Herrera until I couldn't see him for that'd be the end and he stayed for a while. And he stayed long. Then I heard him coming back saying we're in South Africa in Xena he says even if he steals and he commits Zina adultery the prophet is asking
Allah for Allah Masha Allah Moses would have called so when he came as a good impatient and I said O Messenger of Allah. Who are you talking to in the hora?
I heard you speak meaning I heard you speak but I didn't hear anybody talking back to you who are you talking to in the Hara? Masala had an ear Jerry Laker che meaning like I just didn't hear a conversation. I heard one power on the side of that conversation us speaking but who was talking to you?
So the Prophet sallahu wa salam he said that he could you Briella his salaam he says that was Gibreel hurry his Salam he is he appeared to me in the Hara. And he said, Give me your own mother Glad Tidings the good news that if someone among them dies, law you should Aquila. He shall not not associating anyone with Allah azza wa jal meaning without schicke he will enter Jannah give them the good news that if they died free of shirk, they will enter Jannah
I said Yeah, Gibreel we're in South Africa in Zina is eligible even if he steals and commits gene Zina. He says Nah. I said, even if he steals and commit Zina, he says now, even if he drinks alcohol.
So
this hadith, right let's let's talk to consider it in two parts. Because there are two statements from the prophets of Allah audios in them. The one relevant to our chapter and to our book of recall, is when he said sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in an MK theory in a homonuclear, Luna yomo piano, those who have Allah it will be those who have less on the day of judgment, and what does it mean? That the rich will be poor?
Why is that?
No, you're supposed if you are rich, you're supposed to have the means to do a lot of good things, isn't it? That is, if you're rich, what could you do with that money? I can travel every year to go to Morocco. I can build messages. I can sponsor orphans. I can I have a car I can drive every day and night to the masjid. You know how many good things you could do when you have money. And when you don't have money? You can do many of these things, or all of them.
So why is it that when you have a lot, you'll turn a turn to have little on the Day of Judgment is because when you have money, what does it do?
It changes you. It corrupts you. It distracts you. And when we say it corrupts you, meaning it makes you more greedy, and more stingy. And you love money even more. And you hate to part with it. And you don't give sadaqa and you don't give us a car and you become so obsessed with it. And you don't have the time to go to the masjid because you think I have to take care of my business.
You don't have time to give sadaqa because you say I need to invest in my business. I need to grow my wealth. While you're asking me to wait
Is my money on this and that, so it changes you completely and it corrupts you completely. And then it dooms you because you will arrive on the day of judgment and those who did not have money, at least they had the time to read the Quran at least they had the time to do whatever good things they could you arrive on the Day of Judgment when Allah with a lot of wealth that now has evaporated, and you don't have anything.
So he said, Salatu was Salam, those who have Allah
will have very little on the day of judgment, and that is scary.
That it could be in fact that the more that you have,
you expect that it could be for a lot of people, the less that you will have on the Day of Judgment, the more the less
there is an exception. What is the exception? unless Allah azza wa jal gives you money for never happy, he gives it to the front and to the right and to the left and to the back. And that is an indication or a symbol of what giving in abundance, you take it, get it, and you spend, and you spend, and you spend, and you keep spending while I'm Isla de Ayala and you do good things with it. If that's the case, you will be a person who has a lot in the dunya and Allah in the era, because Allah gave you a lot and you spent it and you gave it to Allah azza wa jal and the beautiful thing about spending his word, when you spend your wealth does not decrease, but increases. Right? When
you spend and you give to Allah your wealth does not decrease because Allah gives baraka and whatever has remained. So Allah could give you more money
or puts more Baraka in the money that has remained. So you don't lose. You give Allah gives you in filkin faqad expend Allah spends on you. As he said, sal Allahu Allahu wa salam spent, Allah spends on you. So you don't lose money when you spent so it's a win win you give an Allah gives you you keep giving an Allah keeps giving you, you support those who need support, and Allah keeps supporting you.
The next part here that the prophets will allottee was in them said Bishop, Metallica and Muhammad Mandela, you should be Lehi, che This is Gibreel coming to the prophets of the Lord he was sitting them
and telling him that give them the good news that if one of them dies, free of shirk, they will enter Jannah meaning they have that guarantee of Jannah
what is the condition here?
You'll be free of shirk.
And that what is why to hate is important. Because if you have to hate, you may be weak when it comes to sins, you may be weak when it comes to thought that obedience is of Allah azza wa jal. But as long as you have to hate, then you have a guarantee of Jannah. And if your heat is strong, and it's really strong and whatever hate is, I don't mean by the hate meaning you've memorized something in the back of your head. And that's the only thing that you know, I mean by toe hate is that you know what is the hate and what is in ship, you avoid the ship. But when it comes to the hate you apply it.
That is you apply to what call on Allah you trust Allah and you depend on him and you rely on him.
You ask when you want to ask you ask Allah Zhou Did you don't ask others but you ask Allah with all of your heart that is to heat. You love Allah you fear Allah. That is so hate, not just things that will be memorized but things that we practice and things that we feel that is the to heed of Allah says if you have that and you've avoided shirk, you have a guarantee of Jannah.
The problem is, of course, when there is shitcan Allah azza wa jal.
So, the Prophet of Allah said, Yeah, Gibreel were in Soraka in Zina. He says, even if he steals and he commits Zina.
And he says, yes, the prophet asks, again, why does the Prophet ask again,
you can say that this is an it's a familiar reaction. When you are overjoyed, and happy about something, what do you do? Sometimes you ask, is this happening here? Is this actually happening, right? Security, happy that it's happening? And you're in a state of shock, or rather, you know, in the state of happiness, and you just want to confirm that it's actually happening.
So the prophets Allah, Allah, Allah, you will send them Allahu Allah, I'm here was repeating either to confirm, or because he was happy to hear this. Even despite these crimes, theft, and Zina even still he will go to Jana. He says yes. And the next one he says even if he drinks alcohol now, here we have to understand something because when you pull the other Hadith together, you learn this
Then something important which is what? That these are major sins right? And the major sins could be forgiven
or maybe not.
So that promise for agenda is an eventual promise for Jana. Meaning there are some who may commit theft, commit Zina and drink alcohol
and repent from it. And that will be counseled as if it did not exist or do not repent from it failed to do so. But they have other great deeds. The most important among them is still hate.
Their love for Allah is strong.
Their fear of Allah is strong, their trust in Allah is tremendous.
That it eviscerates other sins so when they arrive and they meet Allah as though Talia, they have major sins, but they're to heed their attachment to Allah is so strong that it wipes out all these other sins and they go to Jana. Allah forgives it. And they go to Jana. And there is a third category of those who arrive on the Day of Judgment with these sins and they're not forgiven. They're so hated as not as strong there's still Muslims, but their to hate is not as strong. So they must first enter, Hellfire be purified and then allowed entry into Jannah. So this promise of entry into Jana is a promise to all Muslims who are free of shirk. It just depends on will they stop first
and hellfire or will they go immediately to Jana? So the promise is a true promise from Yanni Allah xojo through Gibreel to Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa salam.
The next one and the next chapter confirms that is the chapter of the heading. The heading is the saying of the prophets of Allah Azza wa sallam, Mo Nilima hood in the harbor, I would not love that would have the likeness of a hood made of gold. I would not love to have the likeness of God as much as a hood made of gold.
So this is another encounter between a Buddha and the prophets of Allah hottie he was alum. And this weather Is saying I was walking with the prophets and a lot he was setting them in the hunter of Medina again, kind of the same spot Allahu Allah for stuck banana. When walking with a province of a reseller alongside and then now we face a hood. We looked at her directly at the hood and know how it is this great mountain, the north of Medina. So we saw this great mountain in front of us. So I said, Yeah, brother. He said he had a brother he called his name he said the baker Yasuda I'm here on Messenger of Allah. Prophets of a lot he was in them said
Maya surani And indeed with love who didn't have the hubba dum de la salita were in demon who dinar on Illa che and also the hoody Dane is an Akula behavior a by the law he Hakka Hakka, Hakka and Yemeni he won she Maddy he woman selfie, so my Masha for call. He said the Abu Dhabi I said, I'm here on Messenger of Allah, He said, I would not love it would not please me, to have the likeness of God made out of gold. Three days would pass, I never would have remaining from it a DNR unless something that I would save for a debt that I have. But what I would do with it is to give it to the slaves of Allah as it had meaning to people this way and that way and that way. Meaning that if I
had if you imagine this series of mountains that is called a hood, all of it is made of gold. So I don't know what that would make you. Right, if you have that much gold on Earth, but all of it is made of gold. So profits alerts and me says if I have this, and I own it, I would not love that a third night would pass and I have any of it. Meaning what would he do with it? Spend it'll, I wouldn't keep any of it. So if I had all this made of gold, I wouldn't keep any of it. Except what a dinar a piece of gold, that it will just keep it to pay my debt. Meaning I pay my debts if I have a debt, or I'm expecting I'm going to have a debt so I keep a piece like that. All of that I'll spend
it left right front back to the slaves of Allah to those who are in need. I wouldn't keep any of it are made of gold.
Right. Then, he said
Salatu was Salam, something similar to what he had said in the other Hadith.
Stay here until I come back to you. And then without said, while I was sitting, I heard some noise, some voice or some noise. And I was afraid that something bad might have might have happened to the prophets of Allah hottie was in them and I wanted to leave my place to go and check up on him to see if he's okay. And they remembered him telling me, Don't leave your spot until I come back. So I didn't leave.
And that in itself was beautiful, right? That in itself is that I remember he told me Don't leave. So I didn't leave until he came back. And when he came back, he told him that Gibreel Alayhis Salam came and told him that give your mother good news that if you are free of Shirky will enter Jannah even if you commit this and commit that.
And the next Hadith here exactly says the same thing. Another narration it says if I had heard
made of gold, it would please me that three nights would not pass. But I have spent it all except something I would say for a debt.
So here, the messengers of Allahu Allahu alayhi wa sallam and he is the best of example. Did he want to be rich? No. Did he have the opportunity to be rich? Absolutely. Not. If he had asked Allah azza wa jal when Gibreel Ali Salam came down and he said, Allah is giving you a choice. Do you want to be a king? Prophet? Or a slave prophet? I've done Rasulullah or Malecon? Rasulullah Which one do you want to be? And he looked at Gibreel. Like, what would you recommend? And you read Ali salaam pointed to him and he said, like, gesture to him to Olga.
Humble yourself. So you say then Abdullah Sudha, I will be a slave messenger. So he had the option that if he wanted SallAllahu, wasallam, he would be a king. Like he'd have money, a lot of money. But he didn't want it. And that was his life. And that was his attitude. And so he said, Sal, Allahu alayhi wa sallam, that I have no need no greed, no desire to have gold. If I had and he's honest, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, if I were to come upon such money, as much as holding gold, it would not change me. I would take it and spend it and give it all to Allah azza wa jal, except something as we said that I need for to pay my debt, I'll pay my debt, because it's an obligation Other than
that, I wouldn't keep it.
So what kind of soul did he have Sall Allahu Allahu alayhi wa sallam that all that gold would in tempt him all that money would in tempt him and wouldn't change it. And he would say, I'm gonna give it away.
That is the top of iman that we want to develop, that even if you get money, it doesn't change you. And not that you're sitting and waiting, and you're hoping you're Allah, whoa, I wish I could be as rich as this person. I wish I could have his car, I wish I could have his job, I quit as I wish I could have his mansion. You were sitting and you're Subhanallah dying to be that person dying to have that wealth.
Rather than being happy with what you have content with Allah's decrees, and knowing that more could be less, more is a lot of fitna, you may not be able to handle it. And to ask Allah Azza to save you from the fitna of being rich, as you ask him for save you from the fitna of being poor. So more could actually corrupt you.
Unless you have the power and the energy.
to possess money to own money and not its own you. So when it comes, it's in your hand.
You can receive it, but you can give it away. And it's not in your heart.
You don't base your value on it. You don't trust your future because of it. And you're now working simply to get it and get more of it. Money, right? It's like anything that you use in life.
Right? Like a tissue, your hands are dirty. You take the tissue, you clean your hand with it, and you throw it away. Right you just you don't keep thinking about the tissue that you used to wash your hands with or Dry your hands with. You just used it and then you toss it. So money comes and money goes. Money doesn't settle in the heart. And so remember the example of the prophets of Allah Allah who was salami he said if I had that much gold, and that much wealth, I'm gonna give it all for the sequel Allah azza wa jal. Now, we're not asking anyone to be that person today. We're not asking you to give everything like
He's a lot of us sitting them would give, but we're asking you to give enough to start clean cleansing yourself and your soul from its shores, from being so stingy and cleaning to wealth
and to be more generous and more seeking of the hereafter.
So I think although Adam, this is sufficient for today, and
we'll see inshallah we'll continue with this inshallah next week.
