The importance of showing faith in God and showing appreciation for people who have fallen in love with a good person is emphasized.

00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			Alhamdulillah by Allah's father we've reached this Mubarak
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			26th night
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31
			of
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:32
			Ramadan.
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			Insha'Allah don't get so caught up in the
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			festivities
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			and in the festive atmosphere of the end
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			of Ramadan
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			that you waste these precious nights.
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:45
			Any one of them can be laylatul Qadr.
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			Every year I get
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			a barrage of messages. Do you think it
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			was tonight? Do you think it was the
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			other night? Do you think it was this
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			night? Do you think it was the other
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:53
			night?
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			The idea, one of the hikmas and one
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			of the mercies from Allah ta'ala of every
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			night possibly being laid at alqadr is that
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:01
			a person makes
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:03
			and takes advantage of every night so that
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			taking advantage becomes a habit.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			If we knew which day laylatulqadr
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:08
			was,
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			then we would slack off and God knows
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			if anyone, you know, has a guarantee of
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:16
			reaching it. If they die before making amends
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:16
			and making tawba,
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			what will happen with them on the day
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:19
			of judgment?
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			And even if you do reach it,
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:25
			the fado from Allah Ta'ala and the best
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26
			of Allah Ta'ala's
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			love is for those who
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			are consistent in their deen.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
			Say Allah then be
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			consistent and be persistent,
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			be steadfast.
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:44
			This is Istikamah Ihdinas Sirat al Mustaqim
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:45
			This is
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			the hallmark of Allah ta'ala's.
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			So even though you may get
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:52
			the mother lode of
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			on a day,
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			You change who you are through
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			istikamah, through steadfastness.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			So people oftentimes ask me, do do you
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			think last night was Laylatul Qadr? Do you
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04
			think that night was Laylatul Qadr? Do you
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			think this night is Laylatul Qadr?
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			I saw the weather was like this and
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			the clouds were like that and this great
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			feeling came over me and blah and blah.
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			Undoubtedly, there are many people in
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			the Ummah that have some
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:20
			firasa and some kash about these
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:21
			things. But,
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			for myself, I'm blind as a bat. I
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:26
			don't see dreams about anything, I don't see
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			the future, I don't whatever. Even when it
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			does happen, I don't pay any creed to
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:31
			it, I don't pay any heed to it,
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			I don't rely upon it in terms
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35
			of making my decisions or whatever,
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:36
			and,
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:38
			I'm not the guy to ask about those
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:39
			things.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:42
			Rather, I always give people the answer with
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			which they're always disappointed inevitably, but still the
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:47
			benefit is always there in it, which is
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			that I don't know which day it is.
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:50
			I don't know in the rib of Allah
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			Ta'ala where it is, when it is. I
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			try to
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			think, I try to My dhikr is to
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			think maybe this is
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			every night and do enough so that we
		
00:02:59 --> 00:02:59
			can
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:01
			get by with that.
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			And then sometimes the thought crosses my mind.
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			What if on the day of judgment? What
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:08
			if on the day of judgment,
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10
			Allah ta'ala let us pick, okay, which day
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			do you want to count as laylatulqadr? Go
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14
			ahead and pick. Do we even have one
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			night which is filled with sincerity? Do we
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			even have one night where we can say
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:20
			that we didn't ruin it? Because laylatulqadr
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			can get ruined. It gets ruined by fighting.
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			It gets ruined by yelling and screaming. It
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:25
			gets ruined by,
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:27
			all sorts of, like, different
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:31
			matters of disrespect. This much is known by
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32
			the athaar of the prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam,
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:35
			lilqadr can be lost by people as well.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			And, you know, if you have if you
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			could pick any night, is there any one
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			night that you can say that I, you
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			know, strove to keep salaam.
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			He had to matlaiil fajr to keep,
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			this salam until
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			the crack of dawn. Is there any night
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:52
			we can say we didn't backbite? Is there
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			any night we can say that we didn't
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:55
			fight with people? Is there any night we
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			didn't look at the person on our left
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			or look at the person on our right
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			if we went to our the mustard and
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02
			looked down on them or didn't look down
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			on them? Is there any night that we
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			can say, even we'd went to the masjid,
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:08
			is there any night that we can say
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			that, you know, we did what we were
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			supposed to so much so that when you
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			combine the aggregate of
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:17
			its goodness and of its deviance that the
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			hisaab comes out such that you would find
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:20
			it acceptable.
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:24
			And, this thought crosses my mind. What if,
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			you know? And so we need to strive
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			to try to make things happen.
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			All matters will be judged by how they
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:35
			end. And
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			even if we catch
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:44
			it's not over till it's over. Ramadan's not
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			over until it's over.
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			It's not over until the salat al aid
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:50
			and your life is not over until the
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:53
			day that you leave. So remember that, don't
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:54
			get caught up in the festivities
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			and say, oh, yeah. I I have a
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			feeling such and such night was Laylatul Qadr,
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			and it was awesome and it was amazing,
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:02
			only to completely, like,
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			trash anything you did to have a chandrat
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:09
			party. And then when, you know, someone says,
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:10
			what what are you doing in this type
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			of gathering? You know, all you can say
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:14
			is, oh, she's my cousin or whatever, like,
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16
			something, you know, something like that. Those types
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:19
			of things. Don't don't ruin it. And this
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			is where there's a massive and great hikmah
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:21
			in
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24
			the night of Eid being a night of
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:24
			Ibadah.
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			The person who gives life to the nights
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:31
			of Eid.
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34
			That person, their heart will not die of
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:35
			fright the day the hearts will die of
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37
			fright. Allah will protect your
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:41
			heart. Allah will protect your spirit. Allah will
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43
			protect your soul on the day that that
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:44
			fire,
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:51
			that fire that will burn all the way
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:52
			into the heart.
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:55
			Not the physical heart, only the spiritual heart.
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:56
			That it's a fire that has such
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:58
			a
		
00:05:58 --> 00:05:59
			spiteful
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:00
			quality in it
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			that it can actually burn your ruh.
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:05
			It can actually burn your ruh,
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:07
			unlike any fire in this world.
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:11
			That that that day when the people, the
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			flames of that are starting to become uncomfortable
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:15
			and a person
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:16
			sees that
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:19
			as being the first and end of his
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:19
			future.
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:21
			That day Allah Ta'ala will give you aman
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:22
			and aman.
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:24
			If you remember Allah Ta'ala on the day
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:27
			when everybody else's merry making, on the day
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:29
			when everybody else is heedless, and the day
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			that everybody else leaves the dhikr of Allah
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:32
			ta'ala.
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			It doesn't mean that you can't have fun.
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:35
			You don't have to like,
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:38
			you know, make the Eid such that you
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:40
			keep, you know, you do such
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:43
			hard mujahadaat that like nobody wants to meet
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:44
			you and you don't want to meet anybody.
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:47
			But just temper it with the remembrance of
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49
			Allah ta'ala and stay far away from heedlessness.
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:52
			And if somebody wants to accuse you of
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			being antisocial or anti this or anti that,
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			that's their problem. There are a hundred people.
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			There's you know, the way the world is
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			going, people are going to people already think
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			you're a bigot just because you think a
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:03
			man can't marry a man and a woman
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05
			can't marry a woman. People already think you're
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:06
			a weirdo,
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			just because you bother to pray in the
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			1st place. The Muslim community already thinks you're
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			an idiot because you bother to eat halal
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			or you bother to inquire where you pay
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:16
			your zakat, or you bother to take your
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			socks off before you make wudu or whatever.
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			Everybody already thinks you're whatever. Don't worry about
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			what the people think. Worry about what does
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:26
			my Rabtabarakahu Ta'ala think of me? Worry about
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:29
			how will I explain this to Rasoolullah Sallallahu
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:30
			Alaihi Wasallam on the day that we meet
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			and I asked to drink from the *?
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			Worry about those things, worry about those things.
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:37
			If Allah and Hisr Rasool Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39
			love you, everybody who has any worth in
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:40
			this
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42
			creation will love you.
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:44
			Don't worry about what other people think and
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:47
			what other people say. And on that day,
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:48
			on that Mubarak Day of Eid,
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:51
			do celebrate, you know, do take it easy.
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:53
			But not so easy that you forget the
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:56
			remembrance of Allah. Rather let it change its
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:56
			form
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:59
			that you eat or you drink or you
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:01
			sit back, you relax, you meet your family
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:03
			members, you meet your friends and say Alhamdulillah,
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			Allah gave me such friends that I can
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
			meet. Alhamdulillah I can relax. If you have
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:09
			no family members or friends to meet I
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11
			know how it is. You know I've been
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13
			a stranger in most places most of my
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:13
			life.
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			And even the places where I know my
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:17
			own friends and I know my own family
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:20
			members, I'm a stranger amongst them anyway. This
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:23
			has such a ajeeb and mysterious quality in
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:24
			it. It makes a man a stranger even
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:25
			in his own home.
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:28
			So I know how that is. You don't
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:29
			have to, you know, it's okay. If you
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:31
			have someone to meet and you have nothing
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:32
			in common with them, say alhamdulillah.
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35
			And if nobody wants to meet you at
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:36
			all, anyway,
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39
			whether or not you're estranged from them in
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:41
			your heart or outwardly or inwardly.
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:42
			Even then Alhamdulillah,
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			be happy just because it's the day of
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:47
			Eid. You know, just think I'm eating and
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:50
			drinking today, this is a celebration because yesterday
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:51
			lunch was haram for me.
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:54
			And say Alhamdulillah and remember allata through that
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:57
			through that hamd, through doing something to make
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:58
			yourself happy insha'Allah.
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:01
			But the point is don't let it take
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:02
			you into heedlessness.
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:03
			Just
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:06
			like any worship that takes you into heedlessness
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:08
			is wrong, any celebration that takes you into
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:10
			heedlessness is also wrong and it's against the
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:12
			point. So don't get caught up in the
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:14
			festivities. These are not nights in which we
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:17
			should cut the sappara and the juz that
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:18
			we are reading into half so we can
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:21
			accommodate more fundraising and suites,
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:23
			being distributed. These are the nights in which
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25
			you should read double. These are the nights
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:26
			in which you should read triple. These are
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:28
			the nights that there are are not other
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:30
			nights like it. These are the nights, you
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:32
			won't find nights like this even in Jannah.
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:35
			Yes, there'll be enjoyment and happiness in Jannah
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:36
			but the
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:37
			rank
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:39
			and the honor and the love that you
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:41
			can earn from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, you
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:43
			won't be able to earn even over there.
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:45
			So when you think of it that way,
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:47
			that an eternity an eternity will go by
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:49
			and you'll never be able to get these
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:51
			nights back, then, you realize it may be
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:53
			worth just cracking the mushaf open for another
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:54
			minute.
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:55
			So with that,
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:56
			we say,
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:19
			Hazrat Sheikh,
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:22
			Zakaria, Rahimullah Ta'ala,
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:25
			writes about Saidna Ali, Karamullah Ta'ala, wajahahu.
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:28
			In the year 35,
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:31
			after hijra,
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34
			after the martyrdom of
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:38
			Sayna Uthman radiAllahu ta'ala anhu. The reigns of
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:40
			the caliphate were taken up by Sayna Ali.
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:42
			May Allah ta'ala ennoble his countenance.
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:45
			And this karram Allahu wajahu, may Allah enoble
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:46
			his countenance.
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:47
			This is
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:49
			a
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:52
			a benediction that's said on the name of
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:53
			Saidna Ali radhiallahu anhu
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:57
			because he
		
00:10:58 --> 00:10:58
			had some
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:01
			political adversaries after
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:03
			his death, during his life and after his
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:05
			death that used to curse him and say,
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:08
			may Allah disfigure his face. And so the
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:09
			people of the Haqq,
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:12
			they would say this benediction on him
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:14
			in recognition of his
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:18
			wilayah with Allah ta'ala and his great maqam
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:21
			and his great rank and this ummah that
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:24
			his love is a sign of iman and
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:25
			his hatred is a sign of nifaq in
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:27
			the hearts of the people until You Muqiyama.
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:31
			Shazarshaikh continues, he says since he is the
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33
			external dimension of Rasool Allah Sallallahu Alaihi wa
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:35
			sallam's faith, his spiritual outpouring
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:38
			outpouring which is mentioned in the
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:39
			formal,
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:40
			chain of,
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:42
			in the formal
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:42
			tree
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:45
			of the Masha'ik of the Tariqa Teshitiyah.
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:48
			Discussion on him is of pivotal importance.
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:50
			His name is Ali,
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54
			meaning the lofty, the high one, the lofty
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:55
			one,
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			which is also one of the names of
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:57
			Allah Ta'ala.
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00
			But he is he is Ali Yun. He
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:03
			is a lofty one and Allah is Al
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:03
			Ali.
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:05
			He is the lofty one.
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:08
			His nicknames were Abu Turab and Abu Hasan.
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:13
			And his title is Asadullah, the line of
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:13
			God.
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:15
			Abu Turab
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:19
			was an indication. Turab means earth or dust.
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:22
			It's an indication of his humility and there's
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:23
			a story behind it.
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:26
			The following is his ancestral tree.
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:28
			Ali is the son of Abu Talib,
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:30
			the son of Abdul Muttalib, the son of
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:32
			Hashim, the son of
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:35
			Abdul Manaf. His lineage links up with Rasulullah
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:38
			sallallahu alaihi wa sallam in his 3rd ancestral
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:38
			generation,
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:40
			meaning Abdul Muttalib.
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:44
			It is indeed a wonderful coincidence that the
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:45
			furthest,
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:48
			one ancestral ties from the prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:49
			wa sallam, meaning
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:52
			Abu Bakr and Omar, were the ones whose
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:54
			caliphates were first,
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:56
			And the last one,
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:59
			from the khilafar rashida and the seal and
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:01
			the khatima of the khilafar rashida is with
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:03
			the one that is closest in lineage to
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:07
			the, messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:10
			Hafiz ibn Hajar wrote in the Isaba,
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:12
			his biographical
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:16
			encyclopedia regarding the Ashab Kiram radiAllahu ta'ala Anhum
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:17
			and the companions,
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:20
			Allah be pleased with them, that the correct
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:22
			view is that he was born 10 years
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:24
			prior to the messenger of Allah, salallahu alaihi
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:25
			wa sallam, receiving
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:27
			Nabuwa, receiving
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:28
			prophethood.
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:30
			He in fact was brought up in the
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:32
			lap of the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:35
			wa sallam. He therefore enjoyed an exceptionally high
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:36
			degree of resemblance,
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:38
			close relationship,
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:42
			and affinity with the morals, habits, and attitudes
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:44
			of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:44
			sallam.
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:48
			His father, Abu Talib, was a man who
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:50
			at some point suffered financially
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:52
			with his business
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:54
			to the point where,
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:57
			in order to help out with their expenses,
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:59
			Sayidna Ali radiAllahu anhu moved in with messenger
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:01
			of Allah Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam so as
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:03
			to defray the expenses
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:05
			of Abu Talib for not having to take
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:06
			care of Ali,
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:08
			radiAllahu anhu.
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:11
			And so in some ways he was raised
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:13
			almost as if he was like a son.
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:16
			All agree that Said Ali radiallahu anhu is
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:18
			amongst those fortunate ones who are blessed with
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:20
			Islam since childhood.
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:22
			However, there are differences regarding the age when
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:23
			he had accepted Islam.
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:26
			There are different versions,
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:30
			in which it's said that he was 8
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:31
			or 9 or 10 years old. He would
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:32
			say I commenced
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:35
			salat 7 years before others did.
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:37
			According to,
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:40
			Imam Ahmed bin Hambo Rahimahullah,
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:43
			there is no other Sahabi whose excellences and
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:46
			virtues are narrated in such abundance as those
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:48
			of Saidna Ali Karamalahu wajahu.
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:51
			It is the view of some masha'ikh that
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:54
			on account of the hatred for Saidna Ali,
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:58
			during the era of the tyrannical rulers of
		
00:14:58 --> 00:14:58
			Banu Umayyah,
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:00
			the ulama of the Haqq made it a
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:04
			point to profusely narrate his excellences,
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:07
			in a bid to counter and refute, the
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:07
			opposition.
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:09
			Imam Nasai,
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:10
			or hamoolahta'ala,
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:14
			in fact, compiled treatises on the excellences and
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:16
			the virtues of Saidna Ali radiallahu anhu. And
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:18
			there's a story about that as well.
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:20
			Imam Nasai actually
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:23
			paid for this with his life
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:26
			that he narrated in the
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:27
			Jamil Masjid of Damascus
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:30
			a juz about the fadil of
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:33
			Sayidina Ali about the virtues of Sayidina Ali
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:35
			And
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:39
			Banu Umayyah, the pro Banu Umayyah political faction,
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:40
			even though Banu Umayyah was not in power
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:41
			at the time,
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:45
			The pro Banu Umayyah political factions, some goons
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:47
			from them, they cornered him after he had
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:48
			read this
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:52
			compile compilation of hadith in in the honor
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:53
			of San Ali radiAllahu anhu.
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:57
			And, they basically cornered him and in a
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:58
			very threatening way,
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:00
			they said to him,
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:02
			why don't you read
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:05
			now or compile a book about the virtues
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:07
			of Muawiyah radiallahu anhu?
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:08
			And,
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:12
			said that Imam Nasai he said
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:13
			that it's
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:16
			What book is there to compile? It's sufficient
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:17
			that we say
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:20
			after his name. Meaning he acknowledged that he
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:20
			was a companion
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:23
			but to make like some sort of equivalence
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:24
			between the 2 in rank is,
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:27
			it's a it's a type of deviance. It's
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:28
			a wrong understanding in Islam.
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:31
			And, they didn't like his answer and they
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:32
			they essentially beat him to death.
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:35
			They killed him for that.
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:37
			But this is something to remember
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:39
			that we as the Ahlus Sunnah
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:42
			are not the faction of Yazid. We as
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:45
			the Ahlus Sunnah are not the antagonistic
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:48
			faction of the Ahlus Bayt. We, against the
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:49
			Ahlus Bayt of the prophet, salallahu alayhi wa
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:52
			sallam, we as the Ahlus Sunnah are not
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:54
			the faction that
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:56
			was against Sayna Ali radiallahu anhu,
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:59
			or Al Hassan or Al Hussein or any
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:02
			of them. Rather, the Ahlus Sunnah are those
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:03
			who uphold
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:06
			and affirm that the deen that was transmitted
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:08
			by the messenger of Allah
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:11
			through his noble companions
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:13
			and through his noble family and through the
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:14
			ulama,
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:17
			that that is the deen that we follow.
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:18
			And
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:19
			some later
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:23
			conspiracy theorist based AVIDA
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:24
			understandings
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:28
			and some later heterodox and deviant groups will
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:31
			try to portray this in a different light,
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:32
			and some people will
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:34
			sometimes jump onto the bandwagon
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:37
			of those groups or some people will have
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:39
			a harsh overreaction
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:41
			to those groups and they'll
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:44
			take themselves out of a holistic understanding of
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:44
			the deen
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:48
			and in order to oppose those groups and
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:48
			then take
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:49
			a dogmatically
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:53
			obstinate
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:55
			stance against them and we belong to none
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:57
			of those parties. The Ahlul Sunul Jama'al, alhamdulillah,
		
00:17:57 --> 00:18:00
			by Allah's Fadil, it all makes sense and
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:02
			it is the deen of the companions and
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:04
			of the Ahlulbayt of the prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:06
			wa sallam, of the Azwad Mutaharata, mothers of
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:09
			the believers alayhi wa sallam, and of the,
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:12
			of the ulema that transmit their way until
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:13
			the day of judgement.
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:15
			And so Imam Nasayhi, rahimuallahu ta'ala, was a
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:17
			great lover of the Ahlulbayt
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:19
			and of Sayna Ali radiAllahu anhu and because
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:21
			he affirmed the maqam of Sayna Ali radiAllahu
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:22
			anhu
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:24
			as one of the khulafa Rashidun.
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:27
			He gave his life and,
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:30
			a person when he thinks about that,
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:33
			that speaking Haqq sometimes it will,
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:35
			cost you the enmity of people to the
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:38
			point where, even a great scholar like Imam
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:38
			Nasai,
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:41
			in the ancient times when the people still
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:43
			had respect for the olema that they beat
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:44
			him to death,
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:45
			A person
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:48
			wonders about the dangers of speaking the haqq
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:48
			nowadays,
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:51
			and we ask Allah to make us make
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:51
			us steadfast
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:54
			with this Amana Amin.
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:57
			Courage,
		
00:18:58 --> 00:18:58
			bravery,
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:01
			and daring in the battlefield are amongst his
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:02
			special qualities.
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:06
			While his special occupation was the dissemination of
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:09
			the irloom, both
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:13
			and both the outward irloom of the sharia
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:14
			as well as
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:17
			the spiritual knowledge of the heart.
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:20
			During the battle of Khaybar, during the life
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:21
			of the messenger of Allah salallahu alaihi wa
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:22
			sallam,
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:26
			he received the the title
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:27
			of
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:29
			the that
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:32
			he was the beloved or the love of
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:34
			Allah and the love of the Rasool, Sallallahu
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:35
			Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:37
			Rasool, sallallahu alaihi wasallam,
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:39
			he said tomorrow the flag will be given
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:41
			to one who loves Allah and
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:44
			his messenger, sallallahu alaihi wasallam, and Allah and
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:46
			his messenger too love him, alayhi sallahu alaihi
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:47
			wasallam.
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:51
			In spite of, at that time, Sin'ali radiowahu
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:52
			alaihi wasallam being
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:53
			weakened,
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:55
			and
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:57
			in in particular suffering
		
00:19:58 --> 00:20:00
			a malady in his eyes that made it
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:01
			hard for him even to keep his eyes
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:02
			open or see straight.
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:07
			Saidna Nabi Akram, the most honored prophet sallallahu
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:08
			alaihi wa sallam
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:10
			handed him the flag on that day.
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:13
			And he rubbed his
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:13
			Mubarak
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:15
			saliva
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:18
			on the eyes of Saidna Ali radiallahu anhu,
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:20
			and it miraculously cured his eyes.
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:24
			His fear of Allah ta'ala was such that
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:27
			it overwhelmed him in his acts of worship,
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:29
			and his u obedience to Allah ta'ala was
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:29
			unique.
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:32
			Numerous episodes of this kind are narrated,
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:34
			of Saidna Ali
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:37
			in the books of history. When it was
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:40
			time for salat, his body would shiver and
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:42
			his face would become pale. When asked about
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:44
			his this particular state he went through,
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:47
			he said it is a time for the
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:49
			execution of that trust, of that Amana,
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:53
			in front of which the heavens and the
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:55
			earth and the mountains were unable to bear,
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:59
			when Allah most high presented them, with it.
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:02
			But I have accepted to bear this responsibility.
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:04
			Allata'a says at the end of the,
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:06
			surat,
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:09
			the the
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:15
			It's late and I'm
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:18
			I'm sleeping.
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:20
			I'm I'm feeling kind of sleepy.
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:24
			But at any rate, Allah Ta'ala says in
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:24
			his book, he says
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:41
			That we offered this amana, this trust,
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:42
			meaning what,
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:46
			moral responsibility for your deeds according to according
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:47
			to one opinion,
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:49
			which goes hand in hand with the deen
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:51
			of Allah and all those things that come
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:52
			with its discharging.
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:55
			That we offer this this trust, this amana
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:57
			to the heavens and to the earth and
		
00:21:57 --> 00:21:58
			to the mountains
		
00:21:58 --> 00:21:59
			and they refused.
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:02
			They they refused.
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:06
			They refused to carry it.
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:09
			And they were scared of it.
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:11
			They were afraid of it.
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:15
			And Insan carried it. Muhammad Rahal Insanu.
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:17
			Inna hukanathalooman
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:18
			jahullah.
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:19
			And those who
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:23
			now are charged with carrying it and they
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:24
			don't carry it,
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:26
			they don't render it to do. Those people
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:28
			are extreme in their
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:30
			in their transgression, and they're extreme in their
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:32
			jahl, in their in their ignorance.
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:36
			And so this is the the feeling that
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:36
			Saidna
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:41
			used used to get when it was time
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:42
			to
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:44
			when it was time to pray.
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:48
			Kumail narrates that once he accompanied Zayn Ali
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:50
			to the grave.
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:52
			Turning it turning his attention to one grave,
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:53
			he said,
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:56
			oh, inmate of the grave, oh, decomposed 1,
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:58
			oh, one of fear and solitude, what is
		
00:22:58 --> 00:22:59
			your condition?
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:01
			It is in our knowledge that your wealth
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:03
			has already been distributed.
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:06
			Children have already be rendered are already been
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:09
			rendered orphans, and wives have already married other
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:09
			husbands.
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:11
			This is what we know. Now you inform
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:13
			us of your condition.
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:15
			He then turned to Kumail and said,
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:18
			if he, the inmate of the grave, had
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:20
			permission to speak, he would have said, the
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:22
			best provision you can take with you for
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:24
			this trip is taqwa, the fear of God.
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:27
			So saying, Sayid Ali radiAllahu ta'ala, and whom
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:30
			broke down and cried and said, oh, Kumail,
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:32
			the grave is a container of deeds.
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:35
			The grave is a container of deeds.
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:37
			And at the time of death,
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:40
			one will become aware of one's own deeds
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:42
			and one's misdeeds. May Allah TA have mercy
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:43
			on us,
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:47
			on that on that serious, very serious, very
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:48
			serious day.
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:56
			His passing, said Nali, radiallahu, who was appointed
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:58
			to the Khalifa in the 35th year of
		
00:23:58 --> 00:23:58
			Hijra.
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:01
			He occupied this post for 5 years less
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:02
			than 3 days.
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:06
			On 18th Ramadan in the, 40th year, Abdul
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:09
			Rahman bin Muljim martyred him in Kufa.
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:13
			After the battle of Nahranwan, 3 members of
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:15
			the Khareji sect gathered in Makkamukarama.
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:18
			They were 'Abdu'arrahman bin Mujjam,
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:21
			Amar bin Bukayr, and Barkha bin Abdillah.
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:24
			These three evil elements plotted to kill Saidna
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:27
			Ali radiAllahu anhu, Saidna Muawiya, Ibn Abi Sufyan,
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:31
			and Saidna Amr bin As, radiAllahu anhu. Ibn
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:33
			Muljim was the one who undertook to kill
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:37
			Saidna Ali radiAllahu ta'ala anhu. Amr bin Bukayr
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:40
			agreed to assassinate Amr bin As and Barq
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:42
			assumed the task of killing,
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:44
			Saidin Muawiyah radiAllahu anhum.
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:47
			And ibn Mujjam was the only one who
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:48
			succeeded in his evil plot,
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:51
			coming within the scope of the meaning of
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:52
			the ayah.
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:55
			Khasir al Dunya al Aqira, he has lost
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:56
			this world and the hereafter.
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:59
			The other 2 failed in their evil missions.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:02
			And it's said also that Abdul Rahman bin
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:04
			Muldam was pulled into this plot because he
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:06
			fell, in love with a girl,
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:09
			whose father was a commander of the Khawarij
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:11
			who was killed in battle against Said Ali
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:13
			radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu.
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:16
			And she demanded
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:18
			she demanded that if he wanted to marry
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:21
			her that he had to assassinate Sayna Ali
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:22
			radiAllahu anhu.
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:24
			So, you know, be careful who you fall
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:26
			in love with because there's no guarantee that
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:27
			they're gonna be a good
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:29
			person, you know. Just because you're in love
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:31
			it's not a proof that of anything about
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:33
			the other person. It just means that you're
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:36
			you're shackled. So be careful who you allow
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:37
			yourself to,
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:40
			have 5 minutes with your heart because, once
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:41
			you get shackled to the wrong crowd,
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:44
			really really dumb things happen, really dumb things
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:47
			happen if you're not careful. And on the
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:48
			flip side if you fall in love with
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:50
			a good person then good things happen, Masha'Allah.
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:54
			Sayid Ali radiAllahu ta'ala on whose practice was
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:55
			to proceed very early to the Masjid.
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:57
			On the way to the Masjid he would
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:59
			rouse sleepers by
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:02
			crying out salah salah the prayer the prayer.
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:06
			1 night, ibn Mujjam hid himself along the,
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:09
			Sayid Ali radiAllahu anhu's route to the masjid.
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:12
			As Sadali Radiallahu Anhu passed near him, Ibn
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:15
			Muldim struck his forehead with his sword which
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:18
			penetrated Sadali Radiallahu Anhu's skull.
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:20
			His beard was drenched with his blood.
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:23
			People having witnessed the attack rushed forward and
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:25
			arrested Ibn Muljim.
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:27
			Saidna Ali radiAllahu anhu forbade them from killing
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:30
			him. However, he issued the following instruction, should
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:32
			I survive I shall do with him,
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:35
			what I choose and if I die strike
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:37
			him a single blow as he had done
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:39
			to me. After Saidna Ali radhiallahu on whose
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:41
			death, Ibn Muljim was executed.
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:45
			The most honored Nabi sallallahu alaihi wasallam had
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:47
			already predicted this evil event. He once said
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:49
			to say, Nali radiAllahu ta'ala anhu.
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:50
			O Ali,
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:52
			amongst the former,
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:54
			ummas that passed before us,
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:56
			The vilest man was the one who had
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:57
			cut the leg,
		
00:26:58 --> 00:26:59
			hamstrung the
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:01
			camel of Nabi Saleh
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:04
			and the vilest man of the later times.
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:10
			Will be the one who colors your beard
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:11
			red with your own blood.
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:17
			So anyone who has any complaint or cry
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:19
			about oh I did this for the masjid
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:21
			and I did this for Islam, and I
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:23
			did this for the brothers, and I did
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:24
			that for the sisters, and I did this
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:27
			for, you know, my children, and I did
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:28
			that, and oh, look people, this is how
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:30
			they repay me. This is the things that
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:31
			I get.
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:33
			Know that this is the sunnah of the
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:36
			salihim before you and those of highest rank,
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:38
			that the greatest tribulation Look, we see the
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:42
			example of Sayna Umar radhiallahu ta'ala anhu and
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:44
			the example of Sayna Uthman radhiallahu anhu.
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:47
			And now the example of Saidna Ali radiallahu
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:50
			anhu, those people whose very presence in this
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:52
			creation was and continues to be at mercy.
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:57
			And, who helped and stood up for the
		
00:27:57 --> 00:27:59
			weak and who spent from the money that
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:00
			they had
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:02
			openly and in quiet in solitude,
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:04
			and in public
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:07
			and who stood for what was right
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:10
			and struggled against what was evil
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:11
			and
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:14
			were the manifestation
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:15
			of both,
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:16
			God's
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:18
			order and God's love in the creation.
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:22
			That people, you know, from other religions, they
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:24
			squawk about oh, God is love, Muslims don't
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:25
			know about God's love. What do you know
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:26
			about God's love?
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:28
			What have your popes brought us
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:31
			that tell us about God's love? What have
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:33
			your preachers brought us? What's preached inside of
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:35
			your churches while your, you know, your own
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:38
			people sitting in the pews are bombing
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:42
			poor people and
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:45
			hungry people and destitute people in the stone
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:47
			age. What do you know of God's love?
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:49
			That these are the people who conquered from
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:51
			the east to the west and they took
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:53
			nothing, from what they brought for the sake
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:54
			of Allah ta'ala
		
00:28:57 --> 00:28:58
			and centuries of peace
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:01
			and centuries of tranquility and civilization
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:03
			and centuries of inspiration
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:05
			were seeded,
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:06
			by
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:07
			the courage
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:10
			and by the honor and by the love
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:11
			and by the purity
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:13
			and by the sincerity
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:16
			and by the generosity of such people.
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:18
			And in the end,
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:22
			they gave only for the sake of Allah
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:24
			and Allah taught showed that to the creation,
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:26
			that they received absolutely absolutely
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:28
			0, no no
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:36
			thanks and no gratitude from the creation,
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:38
			that did this to them.
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:41
			And, you know, until the day of judgement,
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:43
			the person who hates them and the person
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:45
			who wastes their services that they gave and
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:46
			can't even
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:47
			recognize
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:49
			their rank and can't even show
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:51
			some amount of respect.
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:53
			They're the worst of people
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:54
			and until the yomokriyama,
		
00:29:55 --> 00:29:57
			those people who can say well, look what
		
00:29:57 --> 00:29:59
			they did and look how they suffered, we
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:00
			owe it to them to,
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:03
			show them honor and respect and love.
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:05
			And the best way of honoring them and
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:06
			the best way of respecting them and the
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:09
			best way of loving them is to continue
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:09
			their mission
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:12
			and to continue their noble habits
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:15
			and to take the courage that they had
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:18
			and serve like they served or somehow
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:21
			some part of the way of how they
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:22
			served so that
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:23
			their
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:25
			noble work can continue,
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:27
			until the day of judgement.
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:29
			This is what
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:31
			we can do and this is what we
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:34
			need to do in order to, in order
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:36
			to, show
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:38
			gratitude for them. We can't be like them.
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:39
			We definitely
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:49
			who literally were,
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:51
			the best of
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:52
			God's creation.
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:55
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala accept from us. Allah
		
00:30:55 --> 00:30:58
			subhanahu wa ta'ala give us the barakah of
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:00
			these Mubarak knights. Allah Ta'ala
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:02
			give us khair and afiyah.
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:04
			It's quite possible
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:04
			that
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:07
			that
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:09
			we have one more installment of this majlis
		
00:31:10 --> 00:31:12
			maybe day after tomorrow,
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:15
			and that's it. Because as the month goes
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:18
			on people fall behind anyway. There are very
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:20
			few people at the end of the month
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:21
			that actually listen
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:26
			to to the whole series anyway so it
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:29
			will be an opportunity for me also to
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:32
			you know walk the walk that I preach
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:33
			to other people and try to capitalize on
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:35
			these last couple of nights of Ramadan Insha'Allah.
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:37
			And,
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:39
			for whatever reason,
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:42
			it was slipping my mind. But the ayah
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:45
			that was mentioned about the Amana being given
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:47
			to the heavens and the earth,
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:53
			and the mountains and them refusing it
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:56
			and being frightful of it.
		
00:31:57 --> 00:31:58
			That ayah is near the end of the
		
00:31:58 --> 00:31:59
			Surah Al Azzab.
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:02
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala accept from all. Allah
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:04
			Ta'ala give us all khayr, forgive us our
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:06
			sins and give us the tawfiq to live
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:07
			a life better than the one that we
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:09
			live and give us a good end and
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:11
			reunite us with the ones that we love.
