			There was actually a brother called Salahuddin. And in 2015, when he was doing delivery for pizza
hut in America, in Kentucky, he was robbed and stabbed to death in an apartment complex. And, you
know, the key headline that came out afterwards, it was actually later on during the court hearing,
when his father came eye to eye with the killer of Salahuddin. And just before that, the killer was
about to be handcuffed and sentenced for that one years. He, he embraced him, and he whispered in
his ear, and he said to him, I'm not angry at you. I'm angry at the devil who's misguided you.
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:55
			And I hope that when you leave this place, you do good deeds.
		
00:00:56 --> 00:01:06
			And this brought everyone in the room to tears, and including the judge. And who would have thought
that, you know, there's one thing to forgive someone, but to reconcile with him.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			After all, Allah subhanaw taala said was sort of
		
00:01:13 --> 00:02:00
			reconciliation is best, if you were to ask any individual, nine times out of 10, there is a person
who they fallen out with whether the dispute is between husband, wife, Father, Son, employer,
employee, businessman and his partners, measured committee members, others, you've almost certainly
experienced this yourself, or you're at least aware of two people, two parties that have Now bearing
in mind the sheer number of self inflicted hurdles that already exist in our journey to Allah
subhanaw taala and the home of the Hereafter, I mean, just to list insincere thoughts, love of fame,
laziness, complacency, self admiration, robot like worship. The point is that our short lives are
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:19
			already plagued with so many deficiencies. So now is the time to identify and treat every one of
these hurdles before time runs out. And one of the largest hurdles that exists on a person's path to
Allah Jalla Jalla Lu are fallouts with other Muslims.
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:45
			And it's for this reason that there is a special group of Muslims who have taken it upon themselves
to revive a very precious act of worship, as they actively track down those who fallen out to try to
mediate and resolve their matters because they've realized that this is one of the most rewarding
yet neglected acts of worship in existence.
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:59
			Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that Shall I not inform you of an act of worship that is
greater than praying, fasting and giving in charity? They said, Yes, he said, reconciling between
people.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:36
			So these people who track down people's fallouts and they try to mediate, they have realized that
this is a form of charity as well, that doesn't involve money. Because the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wasallam said, I've been to sadaqa de Islam who that will be the greatest of all Charities is
reconciling between people. In fact, when use was conveyed to the Prophet alayhi salatu salam, that
the people of color that had fallen out, and they were hurling stones at one another, he immediately
said, it has been at a loss of their how they, you know, let's go and reconcile between them.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:46
			So whilst the overwhelming majority of people choose to just act as spectators, as analysts,
gossiping about the fallouts of people,
		
00:03:47 --> 00:04:33
			this select group of Muslims are of a different kind altogether. They speak so little, but they do
so much. Allah how many satanic blocks have been spoiled because of their efforts? How many
households have been repaired because of them? How much do I is made for them due to the peace that
they've brought on others? And just how many good deeds have such people are masked, as they revive
an act of worship? That so few are courageous enough to embark upon to reconcile between people so
take it upon your shoulders to plan a strategy to bring quarreling Muslims together? And whether it
is you who shall execute this plan or you will communicate who someone who can do it on your behalf?
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:34
			That's That's irrelevant.
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:41
			This addresses the Reformers amongst us who shall act as peacemakers between disputing Muslims.
		
00:04:42 --> 00:05:00
			Now, if you happen to be one of the two parties that has fallen out with another person, then this
principle, what sort of reconciliation is best urges you to start a frank conversation with yourself
before it's too late. Once you
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:00
			useI
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:16
			tell it that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said Toronto will move equally. Meanwhile camis
the deeds of people are presented to Allah every Monday and Thursday. And Allah erases the sins of
every Muslim who does not associate the partner with Allah.
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:25
			Except he said to people who have fallen out, it is said don't forgive their sins until they
reconcile.
		
00:05:27 --> 00:06:03
			Imagine, despite your many good deeds, your relentless pursuit of avenues of Allah's pleasure,
pleasure, this one Fallout, as you may call it, has the capacity to block the original since leaving
a person exposed to so much more trauma on the day of judgment that is needed, is it worth it? Now
Shavon during your one to one conversation, he won't give up from trying to dissuade you from acting
upon this principle of reconciliation as best shaitan will say, Fine, reconcile. I just don't do it
now. Give it a year or so.
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:19
			What does the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam say here? He said man ha ha who said that? And so
who I can say if key Danny, whoever boycotts his brother for a year, then it is as if he has spilled
his blood.
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:40
			Shavon he will not lay his arms. He will say to you okay, fine, you want to reconcile. But don't
give it a year. Give it a week. Surely you both need some time to cool down. Another desperate
attempt to discourage the application of this organic principle. So retaliate? Again by citing yet
another Hadith
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:52
			where the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said lay your hands on a Muslim and yeah Hydra who
thought Kahala? Thurman Hydra aka who volka salah is in format the Halyna
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			it is impermissible
		
00:06:56 --> 00:07:05
			for a Muslim to boycott his brother for over three days. And whoever does so then dies will enter
the fire
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:13
			Shavon will plead replete. He will say okay, okay fine. Wait for him. Wait for her to initiate the
apology.
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:29
			Respond with the Hadith waha Euro Houma la vie aberdovey Salam, the best of the two quarreling
parties is the one who initiates the salam don't give shape on a corner to breathe. And then he will
say to you okay, but what if he rejects your apology?
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:32
			What a wasted effort.
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:40
			No, it's not a wasted effort. Because the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said we're ylim
Eurodollar he could have been if me
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:45
			what how Raja al Muslim Meenal Hijra. But if you are rejected,
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:50
			then that person will be sinful and you have freed yourself from the
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:53
			sea corner Shavon
		
00:07:54 --> 00:08:27
			make the apology shaytaan. However, we'll make one last desperate plea to veer you off this path of
reconciliation. And he will say to you have you considered the consequences on your honor? I mean,
how long can you go and that's when you deliver the final nail in his coffin with yet one more
Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam a profound statement or he said there are three
things that are taken oath by Allah's Name will happen. Number one, one who gives in charity his
wealth was will not deplete.
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:46
			And number two, when one pardons, Allah will increase him in dignity. Did you get that? When a
person pardons Allah will do what increase him in dignity, not the opposite. And number three, he
said whoever humbles himself for the sake of Allah, Allah will raise him.
		
00:08:47 --> 00:09:24
			So what corner the shaytaan have to flee after you have quoted him with all of these Hadith apply?
The principle was Sohail Acharya, reconciliation is best. So regardless of whom you may be in the
eyes of people set your ambition in being the better believer in the eyes of Allah. So humiliate
Shavonne liberate your soul from the burden of resentment and issue that courageous apology and
remove every self inflicted hindrance that stands between you and Allah. And when you hesitate
remember was so high reconciliation is best
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33
			well, being happy
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:37
			being helped
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:40
