00:00:00 --> 00:00:00
			Pre
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:11
			shuffled wondering what we're going to do today yeah
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:27
			just here there's some leaflets. Yes. There's an angling fishing area around here. Yeah, we've been
fishing before never never been fishing. I love fishing. Yeah. And was thinking you can go fishing
have you? I mean, I'm assuming you just get some beans
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			have a look in the fridge
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:56
			I'm looking for live here because you don't live be I've found that usually is much more effective
fish bite that module. So I'm thinking of frogs. Frogs. Yeah, that's bait. Yeah. Really effective. I
mean, the do you think oh, I was supposed to kill for us. Mostly because they say you shouldn't kill
a Fox Valley kids. They have their position. Yeah. jority they don't like wow. knew that. Okay.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:02
			She's interesting. Share this story. Actually, I mentioned about frogs. My uncle once told me a
story.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:08
			I know it's silly. But it was really amusing. I've just come to
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15
			know these frogs that are going through a forest once you know, just jumping over the fence.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:23
			Just plain wrong. And they didn't realize what they're playing. There was like a deep pit nearby.
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:42
			Jumping around messing about a couple of them fell into the pit. And it's so deep, they couldn't
jump back out again. And they were scrambling and jumping, getting frustrated panicking. They
couldn't get out. Their friends came to the edge carefully and peered into the pit and they said
		
00:01:44 --> 00:02:03
			that's not looking good for you guys. This is too deep. You're never gonna go. Unless it just wasn't
give up. No way. No one can jump out. It's not you little frogs. Yeah. And one other one of the
frogs heard what they said. He got so disheartened. That's it over for me, I'm never going to go.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:06
			And he just basically led backwards.
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			Waiting for the guy. Yeah.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:18
			But the other frog who was with him? Yeah. Despite what his friends were saying, or his predicament.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:47
			He was just getting mosey on. He was jumping more and he was trying harder. And he was keeping going
and I'm gonna get off here. And they were looking down and St. Lucie doing because there's no point
there's no point and there's no shouting down, give up. You're wasting your energy. But the he had
this zeal inside of him. And he one point crouch down, got ready. And then he thrust himself up. And
somehow he was able to get the edge of the pit and scrambled was way out.
		
00:02:48 --> 00:03:04
			Approximately, wow, what happened there? Yeah, I mean, what made you keep on going? And you're
looking at them. He's looking a bit confused views. And then he started smiling. And you go, thank
you guys. If it wasn't for you? Yeah, I would have
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:12
			I would have given up. I'll give it up. And they are looking confused. telling you to give up and
he's going, sorry.
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:27
			I'm deaf. I can't actually hear what you're saying. So happy that you stayed there looking at me and
helping encouraged me to get out. So he misunderstood their discouragement or encouragement. Yeah,
he thought they were saying good words to you. That was the funny thing.
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:28
			Okay.
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:32
			Apart from the fact that the follow up is supposed to be that
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:48
			eloquence. Pick the story apart is obviously told to kids and so forth. Yeah. And no, I mean, it's
okay. I mean, we have examples of the principal and action can be no like he did say, Well, only
Nursey personnel speak to people with good words.
		
00:03:49 --> 00:04:34
			And what's interesting Subhanallah is that the Arabic word that was used for good in this area is
Hausner. So the idea translates as speak to people good words. What is even more interesting is that
there's another reason citation, Hamza Kisatchie, that they recite this idea as Hashanah. So there's
a small variation in Arabic speak to people with goodness, that's how it translates now. So speak to
people with good words versus speak to people with goodness, you put those two together. So the
first pre citation describes what should be said content. Secondary citation describes how it should
be set manner. I'm sure you've heard of the idiom of Sticks and stones may hurt my bones but words
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:57
			will never break me. That kind of goes against it. It does. I don't think it's accurate. words they
do cause so much pain, you know, immense pain, and we know this through experiences of life. We know
this through ye revelation. I mean, just think about it with words. We become Muslims right with a
word a person can leave the religion of Islam.
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			What other examples I
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:27
			mean marriages with one word, a person becomes highlighted for you. And then those moments of
intimacy are like an act of worship. And then with another word, the word of divorce, this person
becomes a complete stranger. And then those moments of intimacy are, fornication is a major sin.
That's just through words. And that's why the Prophet SAW I said them he said in the famous Hadith
in an Abda kala mobile Kenny met him in Madrid Manila, he met up La Habra, Muir found
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:40
			that a person may utter a word which pleases Allah subhanaw taala so much without him realizing its
weight, and Allah raises him to very high degrees.
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:59
			And then on the other side of the Hadith, he said in an Abdullah the Kela mobile Kenya met him in
cerca de la Hila Utila darlin, yeah, we'd be happy to have them. And similarly, someone may utter a
word, which displeases Allah, without giving it much thought. And because of it, he just plummeted
to help.
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:13
			And I'm sure you'll agree with me like if you were to survey the majority of the inmates of health,
if that was possible, what was it that has caused your suffering here? I would say that the majority
will trace it back to
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:24
			something they had said. And in fact, when the Prophet SAW Selim himself was asked the question,
what is it that causes people to enter?
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:51
			Paradise most? Do you remember what he said that Allah hospital, the Taqwa of Allah, consciousness
of Allah, and good manners? And then they said to him, what causes people to go into * the most?
And he said, I'll femoral welfare, meaning mouth speech, and the private parts. These things take
people to help the most speech and the private ones.
		
00:06:52 --> 00:07:20
			Now, if you were to think about, you know, the sheer amount of people we interact with in our lives,
I mean, who are they we have believers on believers, pious people, rebellious people, Stingy people,
generous, calm, angered, humble, arrogant. This Quran, this Quranic principle is of is of the
essence, because we can apply it 10s or hundreds of times a day. So who would you say is the
worthiness of all people when it comes to applying this principle to
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:37
			parents, parents, nobody before parents, Allah said while adacko Lahoma off don't even say to them
off well that and horrible man don't even disrespect them. What will Omar golden Karima but address
them with words of honor.
		
00:07:38 --> 00:08:01
			And the famous incident of Abdullah him now when his mom called him he responded with a loud voice
just a little bit louder than has he decided to repent to Allah and He freed two slaves hoping Allah
with forgiven. So Mum and Dad, another group of people who deserve our application of this principle
on them is our spouses. It's just so sad maybe you agree to see someone
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:31
			angel of Nicean public counselor sympathetic with everyone you know, tiptoeing doesn't want to
offend people and talking but when he gets home or when she gets home, so different persona, penny
pinching, miser, harsh, foul mouthed, like a demon for the man Michelle Kenny, he said that so many
people fall into this calamity cathedral and mean and nyako nests with he has to heat water by so
many people fall into this trap. He goes
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:55
			photographer to either Latvia Allah who can us onesie was Jarwin nevsun. Why? He says that you you
see a person who meets his wife. After meeting people, they have the worst manners. They become so
daring. Least in goodness. And then he says what you love the early Middle Atlantic but when he
meets strangers, right he softens up.
		
00:08:56 --> 00:09:05
			His his mood improves. He becomes generous and his goodness amplifies. And then email Michelle Kenny
he says that
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:10
			lash EQ anamod Kanika Lika Hawa mahal moto feel
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:13
			a person who does this
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:17
			he's been deprived of success and help from Allah.
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:29
			And so he's gone astray from the street path and he says we ask Allah to protect us from that we ask
Allah to protect us from that. Clay Docomo humiliate me, isn't it the famous Hadith? Well, I
definitely recommend
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:36
			the best of you are those who are best to their wives and I am the best towards my wives.
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:51
			So again, who are the worthiness of people who deserve this principle? When we are exercising it we
said mom and dad we said it husband and wife that's not just husband towards wife, by the way, are
you nurse? Yeah, Adam will
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:59
			prophesy us and it was asked who does a woman Oh, the greatest rights to he said her husband. Then
he was asked a question.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:13
			And who does a man are the greatest Ryan's to? He said his mother. So Mum and Dad, wife husband who
else who deserved this principle were only nasty husband speak to people with good words.
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:15
			There was a need
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:46
			people will have needs of us. It could be a financial need it could be knowledge it could be advised
time remember what I'm gonna set you left for that and how Allah says as for those who ask of you,
don't repel him. Don't disparage you could be advising it could be time money. If you find yourself
unable to help we turn them away using the kindness of words speak to people with good words.
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:54
			So Mum and Dad, Wife Husband those in need those who are senior to us.
		
00:10:55 --> 00:11:25
			That's in your seniority could be by way of knowledge could be by way of age. Again, when addressing
them, we address them with the finest let's let you send me an MLM ug let KB Aruna welcome sorry,
Rana YRF, the IE me now who he who does not honor the elders, for profit. So I sent him said, it's
not amongst us, nor shows mercy to the younger ones, and does not give our scholars of their rights.
He says these three categories they're not from amongst us.
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:43
			So now that we've kind of looked at some of the most deserving people, when it comes to the
application of this principle, speak to people good words, should also address maybe some of the
circumstances when people are most prone to forgetting this principle of speaking to people with
good ones.
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:57
			What about when on the receiving end of the insult? Shall we you and I've been there? Right? That's
a key time to remember speak to people with good words for either for the homage or you don't
shenana Elijah?
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:07
			praising his true servants. He said that they are the ones whom when the ignorant people address
them harshly, they respond with words of peace.
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:31
			Your man was shabby, I think you and I've discussed this one before as well. Where you know he was
insulted. You know, shagging, the famous scholar of Hadith, right? And he said to him that it
couldn't do cannot alter Fatah for Allah who then became a contributor for Allah who that if I am as
you say, I am May Allah forgive me. But if I am not as you say I am that May Allah forgive you.
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:42
			And a man said to Leonardo da that local Wahida Asha if you were to insult me just once, you're
going to hear 10
		
00:12:43 --> 00:13:10
			He said to him Allah He local Dasha, NASA Mandela, I swear if you insulted me 10 times, you wouldn't
even hear one response from me. It's amazing. I think really, the way to look at that is just to
realize that you know, we have so much on our minds as Muslims, we have the journey to Allah,
working towards the home of the Hereafter, the heart should not find room to store these types of
results.
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:36
			We don't have the time to kind of mull over these things. They see life that Muslim we wish and see
lives like a marketplace. And in the end of that marketplace, some people walk away they've made a
profit. Other people leave me the loss. So they have no time to waste. They speak to people with
good words. So that's a key time I think we need to remember that this principle more prone to
forgetting it when being insulted. Also, when joking
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:55
			the purpose of a joke or an Arabic they call it Musa then if you've heard of this one before, it's
the idea is to lighten the atmosphere. You're supposed to bring joy, not sadness, embarrassment,
friction. If it does that, then it's no longer a joke. It's so Korea. It's mockery.
		
00:13:57 --> 00:14:23
			The Companions they said the prophets I send them that era sunnah Allah in NACA Tada a modal
Messenger of Allah, you joke with us. Right? He said, Yeah, in the law, who in the hardcover I only
speak the truth. So his jokes, were free from mockery. There's no lying. There's no poop scaring
others. There's no excessiveness, you know, so even his jokes, they honored the principle of speak
to people with good lives.
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:28
			A third circumstance I think it's really important to remember when
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:53
			we can forget this principle is when we disagree over a matter, Islamic or otherwise, by the way, it
doesn't matter. You know, universal Salafi. He said that I've never seen a man as wise as a Shafi we
disagreed once over a matter, you fell out over a matter. Then we met him he held my head, and he
said, Father of Musa, can we not be brothers? Even if we disagree over a maximum?
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:56
			Can we still be brothers even if we disagree?
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			These are meant by that I think this is how a man
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:01
			input should be presented
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:25
			restraint and to see the bigger picture and the man with the heavy comments on that incident I just
shared with you and he said this just indicates how wholesome the mind of enamel Shafi was and how
deep his knowledge was for Mozilla and Novara reform because peers, they will always differ, appears
they will always differ.
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:48
			Anyway, I mean, you know, the famous Hadith maybe we'll kind of round off with this prophets I send
them who said that, in paradise there are rooms whose outside is visible from it's inside, it's
inside is also visible from its outside an Arab Bedouin. He said, Who do they belong to a messenger
of Allah. He said, Imagine
		
00:15:49 --> 00:16:09
			a global column for atomic bomb, where a dama cm or Celebi lovely lady, when I saw you, they are the
ones who are best in speech. Look, he started with that, in another narration, those who are most
gentle in speech, and those who distribute food, those who fast regularly and those who pray and
when people are asleep.
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:46
			I believe that if you agree or not, that most of the differences that take place between us are
rarely due to issues are difficult to resolve, but simply owing to the manner in which one expressed
himself poor choice of wording poor choice of tone, poor choice of context, most of the disasters of
life and the afterlife can be evaded by just evoking this Quranic principle before our very
expression Partnership does offer mercy little story regarding
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:48
			I still want to go fishing
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:00
			or being happy
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:04
			being help when as
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:06
			one
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:10
			son
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:15
			obey shield oh, oh.
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:18
