Ali Ataie – A Believer’s Patience in Ramadan

Santa Monica Mattila de la Veta Casa

so it's difficult for me to speak tonight so many of the people of

knowledge that are here listening to me for whatever reason

but please humor me for a few minutes in sha Allah Tala.

You know, there's people in this community that actually remind me

of Sahaba you know, when CD 50 doing, for example, reminds me of

Satan Ahmad, he's actually a descendant of Satan or model.

Right? The Magette did these come from satan their own model or the

allotted our annual I remember when I first met see the fit a

dune? I was 17 or 18 years old. I was actually afraid to speak with

him. And it's not like I was afraid of him because he's going

to hurt me or stuff but Allah, I was just awestruck by him. Like

sitting there him out if he saw said normally be awestruck by him.

Right. shaytaan is afraid of a signature model. Right.

And he was doing sigma. At the time he was he was with Sheikh

Hamza, they were teaching classes. And I noticed that there's an

intention in his walk. You've watched CD 52, And walk, walk

because it v machinic. Look, man, and Hakeem says to his son, walk

with a maksud walk with a with an intention. Right. So as a mom is

eight said some of us walk with an intention, or MCSA is to go home

and watch Michael Phelps. Take the 100 meter fly, and celebrate or

watch Usain Bolt. We bolt home to watch Hussein.

We should bolt home and emulate Hussein. I need to set up sorry,

that was my joke.

You know, when I when I see brother, Mr. Aude, who's kind of

flying under the radar, I think of Ibnu Masood multitalented Brother,

brother Massoud came to me a few years ago and said I want to be

your Arabic student. So he had to study Arabic. So I was his tutor.

A few months later, he was my peer, not peer in the Desi sense.

He wasn't not peer to side not like that peer as in we were at

the same level after a few months. Alright, so

Jani is aka Lakota for humoring me. There's people here that are

from Adelaide Bates, Aiden Mubin. Al Husseini, seen on Mini or

animun Her seen a local man, the man had that her seen and

I will come up all Alia Salatu was Salam, very blessed that

individuals are here. May Allah subhanaw taala bless all of you,

all of you are blessed inshallah to Allah for coming here tonight.

May Allah subhana wa Tada bless the masjid the people who run the

masjid see the office and see the pet aways. And Allah subhanho wa

Taala preserve them and preserve their families inshallah Tada.

So kind of to continue what we were talking about last night, I

might repeat a few things because I just forget I'm getting a little

bit older so you have to forgive me, but that's okay. Because the

Quran says with that good in that Vica 10 for ultimate meaning

remind the believers because reminders, benefits believers. So

you have to excuse me.

The alarm I say that?

They say that

just as the body needs, time or food for nourishment, the rule,

the spirit needs nourishment as well. And the nourishment of those

who is vichara Allah, Allah be thicker. Allah the victory light

as Manuel Kuru Verily, with the remembrance of Allah subhanho wa

Taala our hearts made tranquil, and if you eat too little, then

the body becomes sick. Likewise, if you don't make enough to decode

the rule or become sick, if you eat too much, the body becomes

sick. But there is no gluttony with the vicar of Allah subhanho

wa Taala This is the only difference yeah you have to deal

with quote Allah the Quran cathedra because here's an adverb,

Allah subhanho wa Taala doesn't use this adverb with any other act

of a bad he didn't say cm or so cathedra. So Latin because the

Euro had junk Avira with could Allah the Quran cathedra. And when

we remember Allah subhanaw taala we are in actuality, following the

example of our prophets of Allah who it it was salam. This is the

goal of our vicar, the objective of the vicar is to emulate him,

and to align our character with him as we said in the past, and to

taste some of the actual while of the prophets Allah Allah is in the

states of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam is our mother, Aisha Radi

Allahu Allah, Allah said, Can SallAllahu wasallam you have

called Allah for kuleana he, that the Prophet salallahu Salam, he

remembered Allah subhanho wa Taala and all of his states. Think about

the weightiness of our Thika there's three types of Diko zikr

on the tongue zikr on the tongue and heart and then just the heart.

Right, the hearts of the Sahaba were making vicar of Allah

subhanho wa Taala and many of them when they were sleeping, it would

come to the tongue. You can hear them making zikr and this still

happens contemporary with Alia, this is something that's

documented something that's seen they're sleeping, they're making

vicar of ALLAH SubhanA wa

Honor, this is a holy language. Arabic is a holy language Allah

subhanho wa Taala chose Arabic. The Quran is an Arabic the Prophet

sallallahu Sallam who stayed in Caligula was an Arab, right?

Party Ahmad. Have you the hello to Isla when he recited a vicar Imam

Zaid gave the Hadith tradition the Prophet sallallahu Sallam

describing the power of the vicar but he didn't translate it. He

said, You know I would say supine, Allah will be handy Subhan Allah

Allah azim. The Prophet sallallahu sallam said about this statement

Keti Mitanni a FIFA Tani Isla de Sani, there are two statements

that are very light on the tongue. It's very light on the tongues

easy to say, Fuck Lila, tiny filmy. Zanni but extremely weighty

on the Mazon extremely weighty on the Amazon on the Yeoman cuyama

There are scales and this supplication or this praising of

Allah subhanaw taala this to spear of Allah subhanaw taala is very

weighty. Habiba Tani Allah Rahmani they are beloved to Allah man

Allah Subhana Allah to Allah Subhana Allah who will be Hamdi

Subhana Allah who love him.

So we have to think about these things we have to have to double

when we make vicar of ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala engage our hearts

and the meanings of these things. Right. The goal again is to tap

into the states the actual Allah the Prophet sallallahu sallam, the

the station of patients for example, we quoted this hadith the

other day at vicco. What is true vicar. What is the objective of

vicar

is to reform the internal character because the Prophet

sallallahu sallam said in the Bible, if God utami Mama Karim

Allah flock, I was only sent to a reformed character or to perfect

character. Right? So true patience, is something that you

don't have to think about. Because you've habituated yourself into

emulating the Prophet sallallahu Sallam that it becomes second

nature, it becomes adept and this is according to our virtue theory.

Right that you fake it till you make it, you have to have the

prophets on the line to cut it off the prophesy. Salami said, cry in

your prayer. If you can't cry, make yourself cry. If you can't

make yourself cry, pretend to cry, pretend to cry, and then that will

eventually become your adult. That's how you acquire a virtue.

Right? So it's not enough just to come and do vicar, although

there's blessing in that the melodica descend some people are

forced into coming here by their parents and whatnot, the man that

he can still bless them, according to the Hadith, but we have to

benefit from the vicar and have this internal transformation of

character. The prophets I send them there's a hadith he was

walking through Bucky or through

the graveyard, the cemetery in Medina. And he saw this woman far

off sitting by her grave and she was down on the ground and she was

weeping and she was being a little excessive with her weeping there's

nothing wrong with weeping, right but comes from the eye and from

the heart is permissible, but if you're wailing and things like

that, this is not Lisa Mina min min Baba who Duda was shut down.

Juba. What the RB da Jia Jia Helia Oh, come up Allah, you know,

hitting yourself and renting your clothes and things like that. So

the Prophet sallallahu sallam, he approached her and he said, and he

walked up behind her so she did not turn around. And he said,

Yeah, I'm at Allah. Oh maid servant of Allah. It tequila.

Tequila was very

have Taqwa of Allah subhanho wa taala, and be patient. And then

she immediately snapped at him and said, you've never been afflicted,

like I've been afflicted. You've never been afflicted like this,

and the Prophet sallallahu sallam. There is no refutation of this

statement. Now we know a shed that Bella and the most extreme type of

severe type of tribulation comes to the prophets and then those

closest to the Prophet. The Prophet sallallaahu Salam was

orphaned at six years old. His grandfather died when he was eight

years old. His beloved wife had digital Cobra, she died after over

25 years of marriage. He had seven children, he buried six of them.

Imagine seven children, you bury your one child. People go into

depression, they can't function. He buried six of his children. And

he knew that his seventh child Fatima Zahra Gouda to a&e, the

light of his eye the apple of his eye. He knew that she was going to

pass six years after and he knew about Imam Hussain what would

happen to her saying I know his Salam in Sunni traditions and the

Sunnah wal Jamaah

hadith of Al Hakim in his most sutra, Hadith. So here, almost

Salama says, the Prophet sallallahu Sallam he was sleeping.

He suddenly estate acaba faj attan he woke up suddenly he was

agitated, agitated, and then he tried to go back to sleep and it

was difficult for him and then it stay a cover again and he

eventually slept and then he woke up again. This happened three

times through my stay a cover with a yet to hit

Sharifah talking about John hamre and in His hand was read soil.

This is a Hadith in Al Hakim in his Masada sound Hadith rigorously

authenticated Hadith from Allah Sunnah wa Jamar. And he was UCOP

Bilou ha and he's kissing it, this red soil in his hand. And she said

y'all Rasul Allah. What is this? He said, This is the torah of Cara

Bella. This is Gibreel Isla is Salam came to me and said that my

grandson, Imam Hussain, the beloved, Habiba rasool Allah, the

Beloved of the messenger of allah sallallahu sallam, per se Allah

His Salam who came into the masjid, who heard the voice of his

grandfather on the minbar and he comes into the masjid following

the voice of his grandfather, the prophet, he descends the minbar

picks him up, hugs him, kisses him, and then reassess the minbar

and finishes the hotbar this is her saying I need to sit down.

When the army of Yazidi brought the heads into Damascus, they

paraded them around. This is part of our history. It's painful to

talk about, but we have to mention it.

We love our little bait. We love them with all of our heart and

this has faltered from Allah subhanaw taala. They brought their

heads they're parading them around their Sahaba in Damascus, who had

no idea what had happened side of a new side a Sahabi old man at the

time, he sees this this Eid happening in Damascus. Right? So

he goes to Zainal Aberdeen who's tied to a camel and he says what

can I do for you Zain on Aberdeen who has seen on Aberdeen alley

Ibnu her saying, this is a son of Imam Hussein. Right? The great

great grandson of the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu sallam said

what can I do for you? So do you have any money? He said, Yes. He

said pay the soldiers to allow the women of Atul Bay to cover their

faces they had torn off the head jobs to disk to to to insult them.

And then they brought the head of Imam Hussain in front of us eat

and he took a stick and he was hitting the blessed lips of Imam

Hussain Ali Salam and he said Al horrible CJ have a Yummly budhan

like Abu Sufian Ebonheart said before he became Muslim, Abu

Sufian Abner hub Radi Allahu Allah and who was a Sahabi in respect

him became Muslim. He proved good his Islam he died in Gaza. He lost

his eyesight, but this is what he is he did. He hit the mouth of

Imam Hussein. He said war is attrition. This day for Buddle

right side of new sites at Walla he's at way Hakka world to you

what Allah he will Allah He I saw the lips of the messenger touch

those lips, I saw the lips of the Prophet sallallaahu Salam touch

those lives. The Prophet sallallahu sallam. He knew he knew

about this. So anyway, back to the Hadith. He didn't argue with her

you've never been. You've never had a musi but like I've had a

Musa. The Prophet says Sammy goes home, the Sahaba they approached

this woman, and they said, you know who that was? He said, and

she said, I had to mean come. She's, he was one of you, right?

And they say no. Who are rasool Allah, this was a messenger of

allah sallallahu Salah. So she makes haste she runs and stands

behind his door, standing behind his door waiting for him to come

out. Eventually he comes out and she says, I want to be patient. I

want to be patient. The Prophet sallallaahu Salam does not scold

her. What does he say? He gives her a gem of guidance. He said in

NAMA, Cebu and the submittal hula Okoma. Kala Salatu was Salam. So

true patience is when the affliction first hits you. That's

true patience. That's prophetic patience. When the affliction

first hits you and you have patience, Imam Ali said, giving a

tough syrup, this hadith, that if you hear something, if you hear

about a Musa, and you just slap your thigh like this is like that.

He said, You haven't been patient. What do we do when we hear about

mo Seba? This is our reputation now that Muslims have short fuses,

that Muslims are very reactionary, they don't think they just react.

They don't know how to think this is a stereotype about us amongst

non Muslims. Muslims don't know how to think they just react

Elijah to an atom in Allah When Angela Dumanis shaytaan. That

precaution and thinking things through is from Allah subhanho wa

taala. But haste, being hasty, being reactionary, this is from

the shaytaan the Prophet sallallahu Sallam he never acted

in anger, the Sahaba couldn't even tell he was angry, except that his

face his blessed face countenance would have a little bit of a tinge

of red and it would be a vein in his forehead like say the Armada,

one time he's reading the Torah scroll, he's reading the Torah and

that's not forsake nama that doesn't mean that you're not

allowed to read the Torah right? They've been with Abbot he

mastered Hebrew learn the toad out to make Dawa. That's his job

that's his occupation, his wealth Eva but say no, Omar is not

supposed to read the Torah. So St. Thomas, I'm reading the Torah. I

look up the prophet is looking at me and he's a

and greed is to describe his anger. He was smiling.

He was looking at me angry. So he was smiling as he asked, but I saw

a little vein in his forehead. His face was slightly red tinged red.

He said I dropped the scroll and said, I seek refuge. Ooh, the

biller, I seek refuge from the hub of Allah subhanho wa taala. And

from the hub of his messenger from the anger of Amanda's messenger,

there's another Sahabi Abdullah, even more often than Moosonee, who

was on an expedition, he found a piece of food on the floor, he hid

it like this. And he said, Well, Allah, He never I'm not going to

share this with anyone. He just said to himself under his breath,

I'm not going to share this with anyone. And then he said, he

looked at a distance away, a distance away, I don't know. 30

yards, 50 yards, right? Men understand yards more than feet,

probably because of football. Many, many yards away. He sees in

a distance somebody is smiling at him a disapproving smile.

Right? So he called five other men and they shared this little piece

of food that he had found. This is the concern of the prophets, Allah

Allahu Allah, Allah wa salam. So this is true patience. Patience

isn't.

You know,

I'm going to be patient.

After I've punched someone in the face, or after I've abused my

wife, or after I've, you know, made a fool out of myself and I'm

all embarrassed and I'm going to have patients no true patients, is

that when that sudden Tula hits when that first move Ciba hits

that, you remember Allah subhanho wa taala, because the prophets

Allah, Allah, Allah said unremembered ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada

when you remember Allah Who do you remember next Rasul Allah, this is

Bill a Botha. This is according to annexation Rasul Allah, the

Messenger of God. And when you remember the messenger of God, you

remember his vicar. You remember to be patient, you remember Allah

subhanho wa taala. Therefore you control your actions. Right?

So this is one of the benefits of Nico is that it aligns our

character with the character of the Prophet sallallahu sallam.

Last night we were talking about love added baits and a special

position that they have love with the Prophet sallallaahu Salam.

We discussed the, the shahada, Imam Ali Karim Allahu wa.

And its significance in the lessons that we learned from it.

So we'll continue with that and inshallah to Allah for a few

minutes and then we'll end the talk in sha Allah to Allah as we

can hear from my teacher, CD 50, doing inshallah to honor the

Prophet sallallahu sallam, according to hadith of Amar,

vinyasa, rhodiola Tila and Houma. He said that the Prophet

sallallahu sallam said and you can read this entire the whole whole

of, of general ADINA, so ut Rahim Allah Allah Allah. So the Prophet

sallallahu sallam said to Ali, he said that two men are going to

have the most grievous type of punishment and Alok era,

two men are going to have the most grievous type of punishment the

most painful, tormenting type of either in the in the afterlife. He

said the fair complexion demand of Benny thumb ood who hamstrung the

Nakata, Allah, the she camel of Allah subhanho wa taala. That's

one. And then he said, and the man who is going to strike you here,

and this will be saturated with red. The man is going to strike

you here, and this is going to be saturated with red. The Prophet

sallallahu Sallam is a prophet. What does a prophet mean? A

prophet means someone who prophesizes someone who gives

information. We have this whole corpus of eschatological

literature, Hadith IACA is a man really interesting stuff. Amazing

IG, we don't read our we don't read these things anymore. Muslims

go into the newspaper, and I'm a Sagittarius and oh, I'm going to

meet someone nice, you know, read this hadith, really, really

unbelievable. From the Prophet sallallaahu Salam sound, Hadith.

Give you an example. During the Meccan period, there was there was

a lot of persecution of Muslims. Very, very

heavy persecution of the Muslims, the Prophet sallallahu sallam, he

approaches the the person who carries the miftah of the Kaaba,

his name was mandible new Talhah. He said I want to enter the Kaaba,

right? And he said, No, I'm not going to allow you you're Muslim.

You can't come into the Kaaba. The Prophet sallallahu Sallam says

Allah Allah Katara Earth man that Allah Katara have an miftah Yeoman

Brd for him, perhaps he will see that key one day in my hand.

Perhaps you're going to see this key one day in my hand. He said,

Look at halachot Quraysh. He said Quraysh must be must be destroyed

on that day, or he must be destroyed on that day. So no.

arratia is honored on that day. Right? This was during the Meccan

period during a time of massive persecution of Muslims. Many years

later, during the Fatah Mecca and eight Hijiri. The Prophet

sallallahu Sallam he's coming into the city

There's a long procession coming into the city. And in the front is

sad or bad. He's carrying the standard of the Muslims. And he

shouting, and he passes by Abu Sufian, who had just become

Muslim. And Abu Sufian is standing next to Al Abbas. What are the

Allah Tala and who and Assad passes Abu Soufiane he says Al

yamamah Yo, yo molten metal hammer, above Allahu Quraysh.

Today is the day of slaughter, the debasement of the Quraysh. Today

is the day of slaughter, the debasement of the Quraysh. And Abu

Soufiane hears this, and word reaches the Prophet sallallahu

sallam, and he doesn't like it. He didn't like that. So he sent a

rider up to Simon Obadiah. And he says, take the standard from him,

and let them see that the standard is being because you're scaring

the people. People are being frightened. Take the standard. So

the rider comes beside him and Obeida. And he says, a messenger

of Allah says, give me the standards, and I'm not gonna give

it to you. I don't believe you. I'm not gonna give you no

standard. Right? So he comes back, the writer comes back to the

prophesy center. And he's he's not giving up the standard, the

prophets I send them he unwinds his red turban is a mama Sharifah.

And he says, give this decide and say give up the standard, but give

it to case Ibnu sad, who's bisogno said the son of sad.

This is the wisdom of the Prophet salallahu Salam is when you honor

the Son, you honor the Father. If I shake your son's hand, in

reality, I'm shaking your hand. I'm honoring you. Right? Because

he knew this would bother sad. It's going to bother him and it's

going to be in public. So let them see that you're giving it to his

son. Right? This is how he deals with people. Salatu Salam.

So he went up back to the site and he immediately gives it up. And

the Prophet Salah Salem, he passes by Abu Sufian into the gate, and

he says Al Yama, yo, Muammar Hama.

Your is Allahu Quraysh. Today is a day of mercy, the exaltation of

the Quraysh. Today is a day of mercy, the exultation of the

cottage, the prophesy sent him What did he do? Then?

He climbed Abaco base, and people are saying, you know, he said,

What should I do with you? And according to the jehadi custom,

what is he to do? You would cut their four locks and sell them

into slavery, and they knew that was going to happen, and that's if

he's being merciful. You know, the Torah says, wipe everyone out

Deuteronomy chapter 22. If the city is of these cities, that the

Lord that God gives you, as an inheritance, save nothing alive

that breathes. This is the hokum in the Torah.

The prophesy Salem, what does he do? He claims Abaco base. And he

says, I'm going to say to you what Yusuf alayhi salam said, and many

of them don't know what use of it is Lamsa

What did he say La Tirtha Reba, la como yo, yo, Allahu La calm. There

is no blemish on you today. Allah has forgiven you go and you're

free.

Go in your free. Many men had fled Mecca during this time, like a

crema Ibnu ABI Jahad crema is a son of who Abuja Hall who is worse

than Iran. The Prophet has said I'm sorry Abu Jamal was worse and

around because when the when the waves crashed, what did he say

around man to I believe in the God of Bani Israel. Well, Ana middle

Muslim in the Allah subhanho wa Taala said we're going to save you

in your garden in your body. Right. But when Abidjan was slain

by EBMs road at butter, he said, I want you to remove my head from

the base because I wanted to be big and I wanted to scare

Mohammed. This is what he said, obstinate a gnat till the very

end. So it could have been he fled. He tried to cross the Red

Sea. And there's a couple of traditions as to what happened at

this point. But one of the traditions say that

that the boatman was a Motorhead, he was a monotheistic and he

wasn't allowing any Mushrikeen onto the boat. So somehow it could

have got on the boat. Maybe you just said okay La ilaha illallah

Nygaard on the boat somehow now he ends up in the water

splashing around in the water. And he says yeah, Hoban.

Yeah Who but oh, you know, this God is God that the pagan Arabs

used to worship and the people on the boat started laughing at him

you're calling on a God who bought it who's who bought it. Right

called on Allah. He said then I knew he said faith entered into my

heart. So he goes back to the prophets they sell them but he

sends a messenger before him. He's I'm getting the timeout here. I'm

getting the axe Inshallah, finish the story then we're done. Insha

Allah. He sends a messenger before Him to come into the city

and the prophesy Salem. He tells us a harbor

that have been wronged by Abu jihad. He was the most wrong by

Abu jihad. He says I forbid you from abusing Abu Jamal, his son

Ekrem is coming. Look at look at the magnanimous nature of the

prophets. Allah mateesah His son economics coming to me now as a

Muslim is going to make Baotou me so he comes the prophesy Selim.

He takes me out with the Prophet sallallahu sallam, and he says,

Let let me do something for you. The Prophet says to him, let me do

something for you. And he says, just ask Allah to forgive me. And

he said, I always knew there was some good in your father. I always

knew there was something good about your father and it was you,

you are a son. This is how the Prophet SAW Selim, he dealt with

people this is just one example of a prophecy. One example of a

prophecy

So finishing the story now

Imam Ali, when

because there was a pact right? We don't have time to go through the

story, but there was a packed by cottage, colada jar, interesting.

Lot of people. These people are fire and brimstone theology. If

you commit a minor sin, your blood is listed, they'll kill you.

Right. They declared him Alia Katha because of the tacking the

arbitration that happened.

So they met in, in Mecca at the Kaaba in Ramadan. Three of them,

and one of them said, I'm going to go to Damascus and kill I'm gonna

die, but I lost the other side. I'm gonna kill them while we're

there. I'm gonna kill it. Those two failed, but this man, Abdullah

Abdul Rahman, the mole, German, Marathi and the prophets. I said

to them, he described the killer of Ali to Ali and Ali used to

point him out to his companions. He's this man right here, he's

going to kill me.

This is according to our sources. This man over here is going to

kill me. So why don't you kill him? He's, Oh, who's going to kill

me then? He wants to become shaheed. And he also said, Well,

how is that going to look? Like? It's gonna look like I'm killing

an innocent man. And he's people gonna say oh, he's just he's

killing his companions. This poor man didn't do anything. Let's say

an ally is leaving the masjid and he gets hit here. It splits the

cranium and his beard is immediately filled with red. And

his last words were what foods to what up what up balaclava foods to

worship balaclava. I have triumphs by the Lord of the Kaaba. This is

an artist Billa This is a Gnostic. There's someone who knows Allah

subhanho wa Taala This is someone who's in a state of, of stiff Rock

who is annihilated to Allah subhanho wa Taala is only his only

object of contemplation and love is Allah subhanho wa Taala amount

of time may Allah subhanho wa Taala make us like Imam Ali and

said no Omar and Saint Abu Bakr and say the Earth man, may Allah

subhanho wa Taala give us to fix, to know the reality of things to

see the world as it really is to make as people that are people of

knowledge to make us people that are people have patience, people

have mercy like the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam ala

Muhammad didn't wanna and he was
