00:00:06--> 00:00:08

So as a community, when Allah

00:00:09--> 00:00:12

put us on this earth and we're gonna

00:00:12--> 00:00:12

be interacting

00:00:13--> 00:00:14

with each other,

00:00:15--> 00:00:16

did he gave us

00:00:17--> 00:00:17

rules

00:00:18--> 00:00:18

or guidelines

00:00:19--> 00:00:21

at the things we should do and the

00:00:21--> 00:00:22

things we shouldn't do?

00:00:23--> 00:00:26

The answer is yes. The chapter in the

00:00:26--> 00:00:28

Quran called chapter the

00:00:28--> 00:00:29

rooms, the jujurat,

00:00:30--> 00:00:30

compartments,

00:00:31--> 00:00:34

and it's actually called the chapter of conduct.

00:00:35--> 00:00:37

And one of the ones that I wanna

00:00:37--> 00:00:38

share with everybody,

00:00:39--> 00:00:40

and all of us

00:00:41--> 00:00:44

have felt it, have felt pain and hurt

00:00:45--> 00:00:45

because of it,

00:00:46--> 00:00:48

is when someone

00:00:48--> 00:00:50

feel ill about you or me.

00:00:51--> 00:00:53

I didn't do it. I didn't say it

00:00:53--> 00:00:55

for that reason, but someone took it negatively.

00:00:56--> 00:00:59

Let alone when someone talks about me or

00:00:59--> 00:01:01

you in a negative way.

00:01:01--> 00:01:03

And, absolutely, it is not in me or

00:01:03--> 00:01:05

even if it is in me. What did

00:01:05--> 00:01:05

the lost

00:01:13--> 00:01:14

said, believers.

00:01:15--> 00:01:16

And every time in the Quran,

00:01:17--> 00:01:18

when you hear the word,

00:01:20--> 00:01:21

oh believer, oh believers,

00:01:22--> 00:01:24

oh you who believed,

00:01:25--> 00:01:26

remember one thing.

00:01:26--> 00:01:29

Give it your full attention. Listen. This is

00:01:29--> 00:01:30

what Allah is saying to you and me.

00:01:30--> 00:01:31

Listen.

00:01:31--> 00:01:34

What does he want from me? All believers,

00:01:37--> 00:01:40

the first order between me and everybody, everybody

00:01:40--> 00:01:41

with everybody.

00:01:42--> 00:01:43

Stay away from suspicion.

00:01:43--> 00:01:47

Don't feel or think ill of somebody else.

00:01:49--> 00:01:52

Some of this suspicion is actually a sin.

00:01:54--> 00:01:56

Do not backbite each other.

00:01:57--> 00:01:58

And then he

00:01:58--> 00:01:59

gives the parable.

00:02:02--> 00:02:04

Question mark. And there is no answer.

00:02:05--> 00:02:08

Do you really want to eat that flesh

00:02:08--> 00:02:10

of your dead brother?

00:02:10--> 00:02:12

And then Allah says, *. And then

00:02:15--> 00:02:16

so it should and then

00:02:17--> 00:02:18

be Allah conscious.

00:02:23--> 00:02:24

Is always

00:02:25--> 00:02:27

accept repentance, and he's all merciful.

00:02:28--> 00:02:30

There is moral conducts in the Quran

00:02:31--> 00:02:33

shaping the feeling of the people. How do

00:02:33--> 00:02:34

they behave

00:02:34--> 00:02:37

toward each other? How should I behave towards

00:02:37--> 00:02:39

another person and vice versa?

00:02:39--> 00:02:41

We have to guarantee that everybody,

00:02:42--> 00:02:45

every human being, Muslims and non Muslims, have

00:02:45--> 00:02:46

rights, integrity,

00:02:46--> 00:02:48

value their presence.

00:02:48--> 00:02:49

And Allah,

00:02:50--> 00:02:53

when he specifically said 2 things, a suspicion

00:02:54--> 00:02:55

and backbiting.

00:02:56--> 00:02:58

And the Russawari sator was salam taught us

00:02:58--> 00:03:00

this. How about if I think

00:03:00--> 00:03:01

they are doing this?

00:03:02--> 00:03:04

I don't have a proof. He said.

00:03:06--> 00:03:08

If you are suspecting or you have the

00:03:08--> 00:03:09

feeling of suspicion,

00:03:10--> 00:03:10

don't.

00:03:11--> 00:03:12

Meaning, don't

00:03:12--> 00:03:15

investigate. Don't interrogate. Leave it. If it's true,

00:03:15--> 00:03:16

Allah will show me.

00:03:17--> 00:03:19

Allah will bring it to me. But I

00:03:19--> 00:03:21

don't wanna go and spy because that's usually

00:03:21--> 00:03:23

will lead to spy, and that's another thing

00:03:23--> 00:03:24

Allah says.

00:03:26--> 00:03:28

One related to the other. It's it's connected

00:03:28--> 00:03:30

in the same verse. Don't spy on each

00:03:30--> 00:03:32

other. Don't pick up the phone of somebody

00:03:32--> 00:03:35

and see what they are saying in their

00:03:35--> 00:03:36

text messages. We can do that.

00:03:37--> 00:03:38

Human beings has rights.

00:03:39--> 00:03:41

But the most important one in this verse

00:03:42--> 00:03:42

next is

00:03:44--> 00:03:46

do not backbite.

00:03:46--> 00:03:47

What is the definition of backbiting?

00:03:52--> 00:03:55

Mentioning your brother or sister, something they don't

00:03:55--> 00:03:57

like when they are not there, if they

00:03:57--> 00:04:01

heard it. And they Rasul alaihis salatu was

00:04:01--> 00:04:03

was asked the usual question. How about if

00:04:03--> 00:04:04

it's true?

00:04:04--> 00:04:07

They they did that or they said that

00:04:07--> 00:04:10

or what I describe them is is true.

00:04:10--> 00:04:11

He said,

00:04:13--> 00:04:14

Then you have backbite.

00:04:15--> 00:04:17

And how about if it was not there,

00:04:17--> 00:04:21

that's bhutan, that's slander, which has a punishment

00:04:22--> 00:04:25

detailed in the Quran. And anytime you see

00:04:25--> 00:04:26

a parable in the Quran,

00:04:26--> 00:04:29

that means Allah wants to explain it more

00:04:29--> 00:04:31

and wants to bring my attention to a

00:04:31--> 00:04:31

phenomena

00:04:32--> 00:04:34

that either is gonna make it clearer

00:04:35--> 00:04:37

or is gonna make it more beloved or

00:04:37--> 00:04:39

the opposite. And in here, the parable

00:04:39--> 00:04:42

in a question form. Do you really wanna

00:04:42--> 00:04:42

eat

00:04:43--> 00:04:44

the flesh

00:04:44--> 00:04:45

of your brother?

00:04:47--> 00:04:49

You don't like it. Who wants to do

00:04:49--> 00:04:50

that? And,

00:04:52--> 00:04:55

as he was coming back from a graveyard

00:04:56--> 00:04:58

after putting someone in the grave, and there

00:04:58--> 00:05:00

were 2 people behind him

00:05:01--> 00:05:03

saying something negative about the dead person.

00:05:04--> 00:05:07

As he was walking in exactly this verse,

00:05:07--> 00:05:09

there was on the side of the road

00:05:09--> 00:05:10

a dead animal.

00:05:10--> 00:05:12

He looked at them and says, go and

00:05:12--> 00:05:13

eat from it.

00:05:14--> 00:05:14

And they said,

00:05:16--> 00:05:17

eat from it.

00:05:17--> 00:05:19

And you know what he said?

00:05:19--> 00:05:20

You already did.

00:05:24--> 00:05:25

And then Allah

00:05:26--> 00:05:27

give me

00:05:27--> 00:05:29

I call it the medicine. How do I

00:05:29--> 00:05:30

not do that?

00:05:31--> 00:05:34

It's becoming so norm, so common, everybody,

00:05:35--> 00:05:38

Muslims and non Muslims, and then sometimes, shaitan

00:05:38--> 00:05:40

comes to us to justify it and say,

00:05:40--> 00:05:41

what did I say?

00:05:42--> 00:05:44

And Allah says then what?

00:05:45--> 00:05:48

Be Allah conscious if these thoughts comes

00:05:49--> 00:05:51

to me that Allah is hearing me,

00:05:51--> 00:05:53

Allah is seeing me,

00:05:53--> 00:05:54

then I'm not gonna say it.

00:05:55--> 00:05:57

And number 1. Number 2,

00:05:57--> 00:05:59

if I apply the hadith of Rasool alayhi

00:05:59--> 00:06:00

salatu wa sallam,

00:06:04--> 00:06:05

none of you will reach

00:06:06--> 00:06:06

the real

00:06:07--> 00:06:09

level of faith unless he or she loves

00:06:09--> 00:06:12

to the her sister or he loves to

00:06:12--> 00:06:15

his brother what he loves for himself or

00:06:15--> 00:06:16

she loves for herself.

00:06:17--> 00:06:19

If I put myself in that shoes, will

00:06:19--> 00:06:21

I be happy if someone said this about

00:06:21--> 00:06:22

me?

00:06:22--> 00:06:24

The answer will be no.

00:06:26--> 00:06:27

Be Allah conscious.

00:06:27--> 00:06:30

Even be afraid of Allah and hold your

00:06:30--> 00:06:31

tongue.

00:06:32--> 00:06:35

And the Rasul, alayhisatt, wasalam, also taught us,

00:06:39--> 00:06:41

Whomsoever believe in Allah on the day of

00:06:41--> 00:06:44

judgement, let them say something good or stay

00:06:44--> 00:06:44

quiet.

00:06:45--> 00:06:47

How about if I did it? How about

00:06:47--> 00:06:50

Allah knows what I said? In the end

00:06:50--> 00:06:51

of the verse,

00:06:53--> 00:06:54

Allah accept repentance.

00:06:55--> 00:06:56

Ask Allah for forgiveness.

00:06:56--> 00:06:57

Allah is merciful.

00:06:58--> 00:07:00

And make du'a for that person. If you

00:07:00--> 00:07:01

don't remember who was it,

00:07:01--> 00:07:04

say it, you Allah. Please forgive everybody that

00:07:04--> 00:07:08

I backbite. Everybody I said something negative about

00:07:08--> 00:07:11

them. The beauty of our religion, Islam, is

00:07:11--> 00:07:12

it not only

00:07:12--> 00:07:15

brings the issues even when they are negative,

00:07:15--> 00:07:17

but it brings with it the I call

00:07:17--> 00:07:19

it as a physician, is the treatment.

00:07:20--> 00:07:22

So let's all make,

00:07:22--> 00:07:24

a promise to ourself,

00:07:24--> 00:07:26

ask Allah to make it easy that we

00:07:26--> 00:07:27

control our tongue

00:07:27--> 00:07:29

good and pleasing to Allah.

00:07:27--> 00:07:29

good and pleasing to Allah.
