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.
