And this Ayah is no exception.
The beauty of it is in
the jamaal
and the rahma,
the beauty and the mercy of Allah Ta'ala
and His Rasul, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
That Allah
tells his Nabi
that indeed it's because of
mercy from Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
So hadith of the prophet
narrated in.
It's
part of the longer hadith that I am
nothing except for a distributor, and Allah is
the one who gives. So the principle in
play here
that it is
for it is from the
mercy of Allah ta'ala
that you are soft with them. That the
Nabi salallahu alayhi wa sallam received the mercy
from Allah
and then he transmitted that mercy to his
companions and to this entire ummah,
that he was soft with them and he
was soft with us. And Allah informs him,
If you were if you were if you
were harsh
and, heavy and thick of heart, meaning a
person who nothing gets inside of his heart,
they would have all left you. They would
have all ran away and left your side,
abandoned your side, not been around you anymore.
So Allah tells the prophet
So forgive them.
And ask Allah to forgive them.
And
and ask their opinions about matters
that, you know, there's certain things that Allah
has already said. Those things there's no much
in them. We don't ask one another about
those things.
But it's a sunnah, and everything other than
those couple of things, you know, ask one
another, what do you think? What's your opinion?
This is the hack of every of every,
follower that at least their opinion, if it's
reasonable, should at least be heard.
It doesn't have to be listened to, but
it should at least be heard. The of
the leader that is that they should be
obeyed. The of the followers that they should
at least be heard or they should at
least be listened to. So make with them.
Consult with them in your affairs before making
decisions.
And then when you make a firm resolve
to do something,
then trust in
Allah. Verily, Allah loves those who trust upon
him. And so such a beautiful ayah regarding
so many beautiful character
characteristics of Adi.
It's a part of the of the prophet
that there are many things he used to
get done indirectly just through kindness.
The the
the of the prophet
is
that even Abdul Abin Abin Abin Abin Abin
Abin Abin Abin Abin Abin ibn Saloo. He's
the rais of Munafiqeen. That was the that
he was given. He's a rais of Munafiqeen.
He's not just a he's not just a
client, he's the president. When it comes to
Munafiqeen,
he's not just a client, he's the president.
Right? And he would say, kufr, one thing
after the other. But the prophet
noticed what was his style. With the,
his style was that they would find harshness
in him.
They would find harshness in him. If someone
wanted to fight Islam and fight the Muslims,
to try to negotiate
some sort of renegotiate the the Hudna,
the ceasefire between the Muslims and Kfar.
And he found Bilal and he found Suhayr
Rumi, and he was harsh with the sorry,
he he started speaking with them, they were
harsh with the Musafian.
And Abu Bakr because
his heart is so soft when he saw
this, he said, no, this is the elder
of Quraysh. You can't treat him that way.
And so he chastised
Bilal and Sahib who are people of of
of tribally from the system, people of low
rank. And so when this matter came to
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, what did
he do? He chastised Abu
Bakr says, no. This guy, he's he's like
the enemy of Islam and the Muslims.
His feelings are nothing compared to the feelings
of these two people who say la ilaha
illallah. So the of the prophet
is there in the Quran also, is that
he used to show his he used to
show his his in front of the enemies
of Islam.
Not not we're not I'm not saying non
Muslims in front of the enemies of Islam.
Obviously, the people here are not our enemies
politically. Why? Because we're citizens in this country.
We've entered into political
alliance with them. We should recognize that fact.
It's a fact. We've entered into political alliance.
If you don't wanna be in political alliance
with them, for whatever reason, x, y, or
z, we won't say you're you're, you know,
not a Muslim, but you should probably leave.
You shouldn't live here anymore.
But for those of us who chose to
made that choice, we live here. It's a
common understanding we have with them. But with
the enemies of Islam, the prophet will show
us an and jalal. People forget that sometimes.
But inside Madina, he never used
to do that. The munafiqeen
didn't believe in Islam, the prophet knew who
they were, he had a list of them,
he knew them by name. He shared that
list with Josefa
He knew who those people were. But still,
when permission would be sought to chastise, kill,
punish one of them. It's a hadith of
Bukhali.
What did say?
Say, there's nothing nothing stopping me from giving
you permission except for what? I don't want
the people to say, Muhammad
I want people to think that Muhammad
is the one that he kills his own
companions.
Because for an outsider, they won't know what
the difference is. Meaning what? If someone's a
Muslim, they come to the even if they're
a bad person,
it's something that's bad that a person can't
get along with the people who are around
them.
And if they if he had said I'm
a kafir, I'm leaving and made himself an
enemy, that's different. But as long as he
stays and tries to play by the rules
of the game, we vouchsafe the the what's
in the heart to Allah
He's going to sort everything out.
We shouldn't be people that people from the
outside look at us and say, man, I
don't wanna be friends with this guy. Look
what he does with his friends. This guy
is crazy. This guy should stay as far
away from him as possible. And on the
flip side, there are many people who had
bad intention when they came to the prophet
in the beginning,
and just because of his niceness, he just
took care of took care of the bad
intention and turned them into good. Even Abdullah
bin Ubay, his daughters, his son, all of
them, they they became Muslims to the point
where Abdul bin Ubay, one of his sons,
once was afraid his father did something so
bad that he's afraid the prophet this time
will definitely give the order to kill him.
He came to the Nabi
and said he said, I'm a person, I
admit I have some Jahiliyah inside of me,
and I cannot stand the idea that another
man would kill my father, and I would
take vengeance from him. So if you give
the hookm to kill him, you tell me,
I'll do it myself. Don't let it don't
make me suffer the humiliation of another man
doing. This is how much they had
the love for Islam. Right? And if he
was if he wasn't nice like that
you'd see that that there'd be so much
from the side that they wouldn't have pulled
it. Obviously, the prophet neither did he kill
Abdul Abdul Abid and obey nor did he
tell his son to kill him. But the
point is is that that good character is
what? What the difference is that even though
the guy himself is not going to enter
into the deen,
all of the all of this even family
members, they they they all came in because
nobody's going to,
not wanna be with something that that that's,
you know, that that that shows that much
Rahma and that much good character and that
much softness. So many give all of us
we remind one another also. And I'm not
perfect myself in implementing this, but it is
a that it's in the book of Allah
and
and we could all use a little bit
more practice with it. We get upset with
Muslims. We say, oh, Muslim country this, Muslim
people this, the Masjid this, this. This. We
shouldn't say things like that. We shouldn't act
like that. We shouldn't if we find ourselves
walking the masjid and have more anger to
a person, average dude in the masjid than
we do an average dude at Walmart.
It's a problem. You don't have to, you
know, you don't have to raise my hand
because I have that problem. But if they
if someone finds that inside of them, then,
you know, it's a problem. There's ways to
treat it as well, inshallah.
But, that's the sunnah of the Nabi Sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam. May Allah give tawfee.
