how you know you hit Buddha Matata hurry matahari Sara colloseum My dear respected elders and
brothers, Allah azza wa jal has given us a Deen in which Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:55
			has given us commands that are comprehensive of every aspect of our life.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:04
			Even things that you and I regard as insignificant, and that Allah has given us commands with regard
to that.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:25
			And Allah tala says in the Holy Quran, in Allah how you have been, were you hip bull Matata? hearin
Allah loves those who turn towards Allah. Allah loves those who make Toba and Allah loves those who
are clean who have heart,

00:01:37 --> 00:01:55
			Allah loves these two people, people who turn towards Allah and Allah loves those who are clean. Now
what is the meaning of cleanliness here? So Allah says Allah to Allah, Allah said there are four
meanings of the words of target. One is to clean your body from full
		
00:01:56 --> 00:02:53
			physical cleanliness to clean your body from filth. Second thing is to clean your organs of your
body from Guna Ensign, hen must not come at Guna the eyes must not come at Guna second meaning of
the heart. Third is the heart must be clean from impurities from wrong attributes like acid, malice,
courage, pettiness, hatred, the heart must be clean from those type of impurities. And the fourth
type of cleanliness is that our soul must be cleansed from anything besides Allah. That's the
highest form of purification. So four forms of purification, the body must be clean, our organs of
the body must be cleaned from Guna the heart must be cleaned from impurities and the person's mind
		
00:02:53 --> 00:03:27
			must be kept clean from anything besides a law. That is for things. Today however, we would like to
speak more of the aspect of physical cleanliness and then speak about maybe we have the time with
regard to cleanliness of the heart. You and I are aware that Allah subhanho wa Taala has made
mentioned to the means of Oh beloved Nivea cream sauce alum to hooroo. Nice full Eamon that
cleanliness is half of human Suhana to other groups and people, cleanliness is desirable.
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:41
			But to us, cleanliness is a fundamental part of your faith. Can you imagine to other people serve
packs of renacci cheesy? Hi, Maria. He Mancha juicer
		
00:03:42 --> 00:04:19
			to other people telling us is something good to us, it is part of your Iman. Now of course, the
allameh have given that there are two meanings of this to hurun is fleeman. One is a spiritual
dimension one is a physical dimension. Yes, it's true that there is a physical it is a spiritual
dimension. That through the means of our Wazoo for example, together with physical cleanliness also
gives us spiritual spirituality. It gives us spiritual neural. It comes in a hadith that nebia cream
sauce was asked by the Sahaba Yasser Allah, you say on the day of kiama you will you will intercede
for this
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:59
			community of chiamata will be so much human beings from Tiamat from the day of Eid Emily's from
Turkey Ahmed How would you recognize us? How would you up as a channeling to be a cream sauce and we
have such a beautiful replies it Sahaba Oh my Sahaba if there is a valley in which they are all
black or dark horses in India, there is one white horse. Would you be able to make out the white
horse amongst the dark horses Sava said yes. Now via cream salesman said I will make out my mud from
the news that come out of their bodies which they wash what Wazoo was oh Kuba said your nor para
hookah was such a mess.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:44
			Chaturanga because of the note that comes out of the body from how they wash and make boo, I will be
able to recognize my own mud. So this is what we understand. But of course, we also speak from this,
that there is no doubt with regard to this, that there is a spirit of the physical dimension to be
clean. And that is why it comes in tip Ronnie, that nebbia cream sauce limited. When a person sleeps
with purity at night he sleeps clean with blue. Then the angels go to online so Allah forgive him he
slept with purity and especially on a day of Juma it comes in via cream sauce, Lim said, a person
who comes to Juma he takes a bath. He combs his hair, he oils, his hair, he wears his best clothes
		
00:05:44 --> 00:06:30
			he puts on eater when it comes into the masjid, he doesn't differentiate between two people. He
keeps silent when the Imam is making hookah, then one Juma to the other. Joomla is kafala for all
his minor since one Joomla to the other Joomla is kafala. So this is the importance of physical
cleanliness. The second thing is to the means of physical cleanliness, it leads to health, it leads
to good health. And look at this, you see navia cream sauce limit said, the strong believer is
better in the eyes of Allah than the weak believer, the person whose health is good, the person who
is strong, would be able to make more about it, he would be able to serve humanity better, he would
		
00:06:30 --> 00:07:13
			be able to do jihad better. Now a person who is weak, how is he gonna do he can make about it, he
can do many things. So the strong believer who is physically strong is better than eyes of Allah
than a weak believer. And how do you get that through the means of cleanliness? I read with regard
to one doctor had made mentioned he said, if a person doesn't wash doesn't wash his hands, before he
sleeps to remove the fatty traces from his hand. Then he picks up diseases. He must not blame anyone
but himself. There's a doctor here Dr. Aubrey Patterson is a dietitian and a nutritionist. He will
text very well with our Sangha is speaking about nutrition etc. Because they also have a very great
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:58
			affiliation to that. So in one of the things he said these so much bacteria around, that is why I
now realize why Muslims wash their hands so much. He's telling me now I realize why Muslims wash
their hands so much. He only could have heard what Nivea cream sauce them it said burqa to Tom boo
boo abajo so Berkut of eating is you wash your hands before you eat. You wash your hands after you
eat. This is our DD the beauty of our Deen so the means of cleanliness. Allah subhanho wa Taala
grants you health through the means of cleanliness. cleanliness, is the right cup our physical
cleanliness in our clothes. Park soft, it's the right cup for us to stand before Allah subhanho wa
		
00:07:58 --> 00:07:58
			Taala
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:44
			cleanliness is the right way for us to stand before mighty Allah. The ayat which I've read in the
beginning. Yamani Adam, aka Angelina alikum labasa uri so article mauritia openni Adam, I've given
you clouds, the clouds covers your sitter, it covers the private parts of your body. And it is
Russia Swan Allah. What is the meaning of Russia Russia means feathers. The word Russia means
feathers. But you see when you liquid, the beautiful feathers of the peacock, it is an adornment for
the peacock. So Allah uses the word I have given you clothes which are your feathers, the way the
feather adorns the peacock, your clothes are supposed to adorn you. The clothes are supposed to
		
00:08:44 --> 00:09:25
			adorn you. It makes you beautiful and that is what it is made mentioned. That through the means of
that Allah tala adorns you. I've given you clothes to cover your body. I've given you clothes to
adorn you to make your beautiful and calabasa taco and I've given you taqwa to clarify your heart.
Look at the beauty. I've given you close to adorn your outer and I've given you a quote to clean
your heart. That is why even if he has made mentioned that due to the love of beauty, Allah subhanho
wa Taala has given us the command for us to remain clean and for us to wear good clothes. And there
is a very important point how what what is it? Allah says in the Holy Quran was the burqa Fatah here
		
00:09:26 --> 00:10:00
			up near capricho parks have been out keep your clothes neat and pure. You know that is why he called
me Josie makes mentioned some people feel to wear good clean clothes is part of pride. He say no it
is not part of pride. He says in Allah Jamil, you're a bull Jamal. Allah is beautiful. Allah loves
beauty. Allah is beautiful, whatever it is a very That is why we have to get the right balance. We
have to find the right moderate path between the extreme between the extreme of negligence and the
extreme of
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:16
			extravagance. So someone asked him, you know, one day, what types of what type of clothes must I
wear? So what a beautiful reply and listen to this reply brothers, he says, wear that type of
clothes, where you do not become the scorn of the weak minded
		
00:10:18 --> 00:11:00
			and you do not become the object of the blame of the wise. Listen to this, you do not become the
object of the weak minded was originally what type of clothes is wearing, he's wearing dirty
clothes. And you do not become the object of the blame of the wise who says, this person got nothing
that he can spend 20 50,001 pair of coats, so wear clothes that you don't become the object of the
weak minded the scorn of the weak minded. No, do you not become the object of the blame of the wise,
but of course it is part of our Deen that in aloha Jamil ghulja man, Allah tala is beautiful Allah
loves booty incorta be Mr. MacArthur Mira Dr. Amato, Laurie has said one day I shared with you a lot
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:34
			and I says some people came to me via creme de la when he was selling and maybe a cream salesman
before he went out to meet them maybe saw slim combed his beard. Navistar slim put his hair
correctly, maybe saw slim put his quota nice. And as I said, jasola Why are you doing this? Why are
you doing this? You are the nephew of Allah do you need to do this? Maybe a creamy sauce lamb gave
the same reply in the larger meal. You can put a German Allah is beautiful, Allah loves beauty. So
Jocelyn took care with regard to his physical appearance. Then you find another added in one day,
there are two rewires in this one at Ivan yasir narrates on the authority of Mata Malik that one day
		
00:11:34 --> 00:12:07
			a person came to me a cream sauce, limbs and stuff and he was his beard was unkempt, His hair was
disheveled, maybe a cream sauce Some said Go Go back and go and clean yourself. So he came back and
he comb his hair. He put his beard nice. Nobody saw sunset is this not better than the way you were
looking like the devil. You were looking like the devil is this not better than the way you were
looking previously. Another Hadith it comes in Mr. Ahmed, that one day a person came to me via cream
sauce them and he was dirty, maybe sauce lamb told him go back and wash yourself. And when he came
back and he came back in the presence of Nivea cream sauce, he washed himself now we saw some cities
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:09
			it's not better than your previous condition.
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:45
			So, we look at the importance of physical appearance with regard to cleanliness. Then a third thing,
cleanliness is a means of us, you know, in many ways strengthening human relationship through the
means of you know, if a person is clean, he smells nice. Of course it makes a difference in his
interpersonal relationship. You know, many times you and I we always talk with regard to this
particular aspect, that when we want our wives to be very clean, we want them to smell nice, but
with regard to ourselves, we don't worry with regard to how we smell to them. I mean that is not
correct. They say that normally the initial stages of marriage, you know the wife smells like old
		
00:12:45 --> 00:13:20
			Fahrenheit and all different types of you know, different types of perfumes. And then when they get
old they spell example and then we complain but there is a reality of the situation people are gonna
get old, but we need to have you know, cleanliness. The Sahaba say that we never saw anyone we never
saw anyone who was more pleasant in smelling the nebia cream saucer. never saw anyone they say you
could bring the best of eater you could bring the best of mush and maybe a cream sauce lamb had a
more pleasant smell that even that much that you had maybe a cream sauce lamb said if I would have
helped it. I would have made it compulsory for people to clean the teeth before they come into the
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:50
			facility. He said if I would have helped it, I would have made it compulsory for people to make
miswak before but it would become too difficult for people. Sometimes you don't have the means to
when do you clean your teeth because you don't ever miss work you don't have something but he said
if I had the means I would have made it compulsory. Why compulsory so that your mouth is smelling
clean. So when you speak to people there is no odor coming from your mouth. Maybe a cream sauce
limited in a hadith which comes in a Buddha would that anyone who eats onions and garlic mustard
come to our Masjid till he cleans himself.
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:54
			Tell he doesn't clean his mouth he doesn't come to the masjid.
		
00:13:56 --> 00:14:17
			Now I don't need to tell you with regard to you know the the the smell that comes up when people
burp I don't have to tell you with regard to it. But if maybe a cream sauce lamb said when you eat
garlic and onions don't come to the magic till you clean your mouth What does it tell you? It tells
you don't be in a situation that in your namaaz you view image such as smell that gives the clip to
the person who's next to you.
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:22
			This is part of another aspect with regard to cleanliness is part of
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:59
			it is part of fitrah to be clean. Therefore never occur himself Some said five things are part of a
threat and then they'll be occurring so Islam made mention with regard to part of Fitbit and part of
your innate nature. You know part of Fitbit is to make to make sure not to clean your underarms, the
hair under your armpits, to clean the the hair you know, below the navel the pubic hairs. Then
Muslim said part of it that is to cut your moustache, not to keep it wild and lose enemies awesome
said part of the trip is to cut your nails. Let me start since that five things are part of your
good character, your innate nature that is support
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:39
			To be good now look at this beautiful things mighty respected whether it's all that our beloved
nebia Karim serravalle wa sallam has made mentioned with regard to us, one would have thought such
great emphasis on cleanliness, Muslims must be very clean. And you see, our cleanliness mighty
respect is even more than even the cleanliness of the disbelievers. And as it moved into kiss up,
one day wrote in editorial of cleanliness in his periodical albula and he made mention Mufti Shafi
sobre la made mention of a Jeep incident, he said one day in India pre partition India, there was a
person who became a revert, he was from the from a European background and he became a Muslim. So
		
00:15:39 --> 00:16:16
			when he became Muslim, so he found the masjid to be dirty, so he told everyone Let's clean the
masjid. So when he told everyone to clean the masjid, some of the old muscley said he became a
Muslim, but his whiteness didn't go out of him. As if Eliyahu Billa cleanliness is day 40 stuff look
at what our elders have made mentioned here for Who is it for them or for us. And today, one of the
ways of looking at a Muslim locality is to see how much garbage days you know Muslims are staying at
so when you go to Facebook square don't take anyone's name with regard to it. Go there on a Saturday
and see what it is. Now via trim sauce knows how to
		
00:16:18 --> 00:17:00
			clean the outside of your homes so that people will come past to not get the Clif Bar kovanda
Kossoff Corona via cream sauce, Monica, tacky dog look, Joe toccata Cliff Now, look at our situation
with regard to our cleaners go and see the garbage that is in our localities. Look at how we live
after this beautiful teaching that nebbia Crimson Muslim has given us We must be in this situation.
It goes against what our Dean teaches us and I said our teaching is even greater, even greater than
that teachings and the cleanliness of the disbelievers because they only have outdone as offered
they have outer cleanliness, we have inner and outside cleanliness. So therefore they only have
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:08
			outer cleanliness, they will they will find it difficult in this park water on a toilet floor but
they don't worry if you're in is on the clouds.
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:45
			So all you have outer cleanliness, we have outer any cleanliness. And for us to behave in this
particular way with regard to our the methods that we adopt is something that goes against our
Sharia. So we need to be very careful. And then when you have cleanliness of the body leads to
cleanliness of the soul. But if you can't clean your body, how is your heart gonna become clean?
Sir, if you can stay clean yourself and how are you How is your body or your your art is gonna be
clean. So, out there cleanliness leads to in a cleanliness. effectiveness is as if not more
important than outer cleanliness, but the first step is clean yourself outside, then it will lead to
		
00:17:45 --> 00:18:27
			inner cleanliness and part of inner cleanliness, just a moment mentioned or two or three points, my
dearest friend on this particular point, and then I will conclude with this part of inner
cleanliness today is to read your heart from all evil attributes melas hatred, jealousy, you know,
melas grudges bitterness, and I'm finding maybe I'm wrong. I'm just finding increasingly people
carrying a lot of hatred in their hearts. People are carrying so much bitterness in their hearts
that is absolutely unreal. And it's affecting them. It's affecting their health, it's affecting the
way they look at the world. But it's becoming so much if people have got so much bitterness that you
		
00:18:27 --> 00:19:05
			can't believe it. clean yourself in Allah you know, Hippo Matata, hidden Allah loves those who are
clean, clean outside, clean inside, clean your heart actually related some months back about the
hadith of NaVi saw Salaam referring to a person who was amongst the people of Janet. And when
wasabi, went to see his life didn't find anything they didn't find anything distinguished. asked him
why and he says to him said you are a man of gender. I don't know. But he said I've got one quality.
I every night before I sleep, I clear my heart from all Mellors, bitterness, grudges and bitterness
against every person. So he said that is a reason that the navy seals and said you are men of gender
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:42
			because your heart is free from grudge and bitterness and hatred against every person is a very
small story, which which I will conclude with it makes mention of a very important point. They say a
school teacher one day told a small children set which ever whoever Have you how much people you got
hatred against. You know, you bring one potato to the extent of the people whom you have got hatred
against whom you don't like. So some students bought one potato somewhat two potatoes, some potrebe
some somewhat five, and he said this is the amount of people you don't like. So he said alright,
carry this potato with you. So they carried it for a week. And after they carried it for a week they
		
00:19:42 --> 00:20:00
			some of them said teacher we are finding it very difficult. The potato is starting to smell was
firing weighty we have to carry it everywhere we go. It's very difficult for us to carry this. So
the teacher the end of the week said I want to give you a lesson. The lesson is this. You finding
the difficulty to carry a potato which supposed to
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:07
			represent a person whom you hate. This is a same result of you carrying grudges and bitterness
against a person in your heart
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:31
			is coming to smell is going to be a burden upon you. It is going to be an unnecessary burden with
regard to it because you are carrying grudges and bitterness against people, clean our hearts with
regard to grudges and bitterness, irrespective of whether someone has very beautifully said, Be good
to all people. Be polite to even those people who are rude to you, not because they are nice but
because you are nice
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:57
			to that because in Allah Allah says in Allah Buddha being a bull Matata hidden, Allah loves those
who turn towards Allah. Allah loves those who are clean cleaning the body cleaning the way they
live, cleaning the clothes, cleaning the physical appearance, clean with a body clean with regard to
their hearts and inshallah Allah tala tofik. We will make mention with regard to the cleanliness of
the heart, whenever we get the opportunity, walk through that one hula hula
