Hamzah Wald Maqbul
AI: Summary ©
The importance of praise to Allah's authority and deeds is emphasized, with a focus on the individual's heart rather than the degree to which they test themselves. The negative impact of the idea of a clean slate and the potential consequences of it on social and political events are also discussed. The difficulty of achieving success in Islam is highlighted, along with the importance of avoiding negative comments and making massively positive decisions. The speaker emphasizes the need to work hard and not give up until one's deeds are met, and to test one's faith and understand their experiences. The importance of not giving too much forbearance or knowledge to avoid overwhelming challenges in life is also emphasized.

All praises to Allah.

00:03:16 --> 00:03:17

All praises to Allah.

00:03:18 --> 00:03:19

All praises to Allah who guided us to

00:03:19 --> 00:03:20

this,

00:03:20 --> 00:03:23

who guided us to Islam and to iman

00:03:23 --> 00:03:25

and to his Mubarak house on this Mubarak

00:03:25 --> 00:03:27

hour of this Mubarak day, and we were

00:03:27 --> 00:03:28

not to be guided.

00:03:29 --> 00:03:31

All praise is to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:03:32 --> 00:03:34

in commensurate with the majesty of his countenance

00:03:34 --> 00:03:36

indeed, greatness of your his authority.

00:03:37 --> 00:03:39

Oh Allah to his praise as his commensurate

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

with the majesty of your countenance and the

00:03:41 --> 00:03:42

greatness of your authority.

00:03:42 --> 00:03:44

Oh, we do not limit you with any

00:03:44 --> 00:03:45

praise we can come up with ourselves. Rather,

00:03:45 --> 00:03:47

we admit that you're the only one who

00:03:47 --> 00:03:49

knows the true extent of your praise worthy.

00:03:49 --> 00:03:51

And may the peace and blessings of Allah

00:03:51 --> 00:03:53

subhanahu wa ta'ala be upon his servant and

00:03:53 --> 00:03:53

master,

00:03:54 --> 00:03:57

our Lord, Sayed Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.

00:03:57 --> 00:03:59

May the peace and blessings of Allah, subhanahu

00:03:59 --> 00:03:59

wa ta'ala,

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

be upon our servant and master, Sayidam Muhammad

00:04:03 --> 00:04:06

sallallahu alaihi wasallam, and upon his noble companions

00:04:06 --> 00:04:08

and upon his pure wives and upon his

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

and

00:04:09 --> 00:04:11

blessed family and progeny and upon all of

00:04:11 --> 00:04:12

those who follow all of their way until

00:04:12 --> 00:04:13

the day of judgement.

00:04:15 --> 00:04:18

Brothers and sisters, Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was

00:04:18 --> 00:04:19

asked

00:04:19 --> 00:04:21

in a hadith by saying Assad bin Abu

00:04:21 --> 00:04:22

Akas,

00:04:24 --> 00:04:24

who narrates

00:04:56 --> 00:04:59

was asked by who is from

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

the from

00:05:02 --> 00:05:04

amongst the noble men of Quresh, from amongst

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

the original people who accepted Islam, from amongst

00:05:07 --> 00:05:10

the close relatives of Rasulullah salallahu alaihi wa

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

sallam. And those companions who are with Rasool

00:05:12 --> 00:05:15

Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam through thick and thin

00:05:15 --> 00:05:17

through all of his life. And from amongst

00:05:17 --> 00:05:20

those who have great authority amongst the people

00:05:20 --> 00:05:21

of Islam, and and amongst the Sahaba

00:05:22 --> 00:05:25

after Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam passed from

00:05:25 --> 00:05:26

this world.

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

He was

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

a warrior, and he was a tough guy.

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

He's a very

00:05:32 --> 00:05:35

accomplished swordsman and soldier, and he was someone

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

that the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam

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

captained

00:05:40 --> 00:05:42

commanded position in military matters, and he was

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

someone who was looked up to by the

00:05:44 --> 00:05:47

companions of the Messenger of Allah salallahu alaihi

00:05:47 --> 00:05:47

wa sallam.

00:05:48 --> 00:05:50

He asked the messenger of Allah salallahu alaihi

00:05:50 --> 00:05:50

wa sallam,

00:05:52 --> 00:05:54

who are those people amongst thee?

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

Amongst this ummah who are going to be

00:05:57 --> 00:05:58

tested the most severely?

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

Who are the people amongst this ummah who

00:06:00 --> 00:06:02

are gonna be tested the most severely? Who

00:06:02 --> 00:06:04

are the people from amongst Allah ta'ala's creation

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

who are going to be tested the most

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

severely? Nabi sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, the

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

prophets.

00:06:12 --> 00:06:14

Then those who are most like them, and

00:06:14 --> 00:06:16

then after that those who are most like

00:06:16 --> 00:06:17

them. Meaning, the degree to which you

00:06:19 --> 00:06:20

resemble

00:06:20 --> 00:06:22

one of those people from Allah

00:06:23 --> 00:06:24

the best of his creation.

00:06:25 --> 00:06:27

That's the degree to which you tested. And

00:06:27 --> 00:06:29

the less the resemblance is, the less the

00:06:29 --> 00:06:30

test is

00:06:33 --> 00:06:35

Nabi further says, Whoever's deen is solid.

00:06:36 --> 00:06:39

Whoever's deen is solid, whoever's deen is firm,

00:06:40 --> 00:06:43

that person will be tested very severely and

00:06:43 --> 00:06:43

very harshly.

00:06:44 --> 00:06:46

And whoever is deen is weak,

00:06:46 --> 00:06:49

whoever cannot take a whole lot, Allah subhanahu

00:06:49 --> 00:06:52

wa ta'ala will test that person less harshly,

00:06:52 --> 00:06:52

less severely.

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

This is not physical

00:06:55 --> 00:06:57

physical ability to take hardship.

00:06:57 --> 00:06:59

Because indeed some of the people who are

00:06:59 --> 00:07:00

physically strongest

00:07:00 --> 00:07:02

are mentally and spiritually weakest.

00:07:03 --> 00:07:05

And some of the people are physically weakest

00:07:05 --> 00:07:06

are mentally and spiritually the strongest.

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

The amount of pain most women go through

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

in childbirth,

00:07:10 --> 00:07:12

Many men will never experience that amount of

00:07:12 --> 00:07:14

pain nor would they be able to handle

00:07:14 --> 00:07:16

themselves or keep their composure if they're exposed

00:07:16 --> 00:07:18

to it. It's not about physical

00:07:18 --> 00:07:20

strength and and and and and,

00:07:21 --> 00:07:23

physical toughness. It's about what? It's about the

00:07:23 --> 00:07:25

strength in a person's heart, and the strength

00:07:25 --> 00:07:27

that a person is able to take for

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

the sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:07:30 --> 00:07:32

What is the reason for this? Test.

00:07:32 --> 00:07:34

What is the reason for this? This this

00:07:34 --> 00:07:36

state that Allah test

00:07:37 --> 00:07:37

the most

00:07:38 --> 00:07:40

people who are most like the mbya alayhi

00:07:40 --> 00:07:42

who salahu alaihi wasalam the most, and test

00:07:42 --> 00:07:44

the people whose being is solid the most?

00:07:44 --> 00:07:45

Is it because Allah

00:07:46 --> 00:07:48

wishes for the people who love him to

00:07:48 --> 00:07:50

live a horrible and miserable life?

00:07:50 --> 00:07:53

Is it because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala wishes

00:07:53 --> 00:07:56

to reward those people who disobey him and

00:07:56 --> 00:07:57

wishes to,

00:07:58 --> 00:07:59

punish the people who obey him and who

00:07:59 --> 00:08:01

love him? That's not the reason.

00:08:02 --> 00:08:04

That's not the reason. And this is an

00:08:04 --> 00:08:06

idea, a wrong idea that we have in

00:08:06 --> 00:08:07

our own heads. This is an idea many

00:08:07 --> 00:08:09

of us carry around with us. Most of

00:08:09 --> 00:08:11

us have the common sense not to say

00:08:11 --> 00:08:12

it out loud in front of other people

00:08:12 --> 00:08:15

because it will make for awkward conversations at

00:08:15 --> 00:08:17

dinner parties, and it will make

00:08:17 --> 00:08:17

for

00:08:18 --> 00:08:19

socially

00:08:19 --> 00:08:20

unacceptable

00:08:20 --> 00:08:23

situations to happen. This is not the reason

00:08:23 --> 00:08:23

that

00:08:26 --> 00:08:28

comes sit on the road with Muslims.

00:08:30 --> 00:08:32

The reason is not because Allah

00:08:33 --> 00:08:36

wishes to what? Wishes to punish the, the

00:08:36 --> 00:08:38

people who love him. The reason itself is

00:08:38 --> 00:08:39

mentioned at the end of the hadith.

00:08:39 --> 00:08:40

What is it?

00:08:41 --> 00:08:42

It's because Allah

00:08:43 --> 00:08:45

wishes the akhirah to be for those people

00:08:45 --> 00:08:48

who love him. He wishes them to enter

00:08:49 --> 00:08:51

without any sin on their head. He wishes

00:08:51 --> 00:08:52

them to enter with a clean slate.

00:08:53 --> 00:08:56

Every difficulty you go through with iman, Allah

00:08:56 --> 00:08:58

subhanahu wa ta'ala writes for you a good

00:08:58 --> 00:09:01

deed because of it. Every difficulty you go

00:09:01 --> 00:09:03

through with iman, Allah ta'ala erases a sin

00:09:03 --> 00:09:06

that you've committed because of it. Allah subhanahu

00:09:06 --> 00:09:08

wa ta'ala erases your rate because of it.

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

If you do not believe in the

00:09:11 --> 00:09:12

this deen will make very little sense to

00:09:12 --> 00:09:15

you. If you do not remember the

00:09:15 --> 00:09:17

this deen will be very tedious for you

00:09:17 --> 00:09:18

to follow.

00:09:18 --> 00:09:20

But if you understand that this is the

00:09:20 --> 00:09:22

niram of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, that he

00:09:22 --> 00:09:24

gives the people of Kufr all of their

00:09:24 --> 00:09:26

reward in this world, so they show up,

00:09:26 --> 00:09:29

You Muqtiamah empty handed. And that he gives

00:09:29 --> 00:09:30

the people of iman

00:09:31 --> 00:09:33

difficulty, so they show up, You Muftiama, a

00:09:33 --> 00:09:35

sinless. Then it will make sense to you.

00:09:35 --> 00:09:38

Allah's humble on the people of this is

00:09:38 --> 00:09:39

what? It's doubled.

00:09:39 --> 00:09:41

One is that he will erase your sins

00:09:41 --> 00:09:43

from you, from his love through this tribulation

00:09:43 --> 00:09:45

and test in this world so that you

00:09:45 --> 00:09:47

don't show so that you show up with

00:09:47 --> 00:09:47

him.

00:09:48 --> 00:09:50

It's a clean slate. The second thing is

00:09:50 --> 00:09:52

when he gives you in this world, he

00:09:52 --> 00:09:54

doesn't charge for you charge you for it.

00:09:54 --> 00:09:56

It doesn't deduct from your good deeds. A

00:09:56 --> 00:09:58

kafir, what he receives from this world, it

00:09:58 --> 00:10:00

is a a reward for his good deeds

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

so that he had no good deed.

00:10:02 --> 00:10:04

Here he just gives you something to get

00:10:04 --> 00:10:06

by. Here he gives you what? He just

00:10:06 --> 00:10:09

gives you something to get by. This same

00:10:09 --> 00:10:12

concept of this hadith is elaborated by

00:10:14 --> 00:10:16

who narrates a similar saying from the messenger

00:10:16 --> 00:10:16

of Allah

00:10:18 --> 00:10:20

when he was ill, when he was in

00:10:20 --> 00:10:20

his

00:10:21 --> 00:10:23

illness of death before he was about to

00:10:23 --> 00:10:24

pass from this world.

00:10:25 --> 00:10:27

And it's known that he was in great

00:10:27 --> 00:10:27

pain

00:10:29 --> 00:10:30

when he was dying.

00:10:33 --> 00:10:34

Is narrated

00:11:26 --> 00:11:29

he entered upon the messenger of Allah sallallahu

00:11:29 --> 00:11:31

alaihi wa sallam when he was he was

00:11:31 --> 00:11:34

he was in severe pain from the illness

00:11:34 --> 00:11:35

of his death.

00:11:36 --> 00:11:37

The illness that he would die from, he

00:11:37 --> 00:11:39

was in severe pain. And he was covered

00:11:39 --> 00:11:40

with a thick blanket.

00:11:41 --> 00:11:42

A person can imagine that somebody who is

00:11:42 --> 00:11:44

in the Arabian Peninsula, a place that is

00:11:44 --> 00:11:45

very rarely cool.

00:11:46 --> 00:11:47

For them to be under a blanket means

00:11:47 --> 00:11:50

what? That the person is extremely ill. That

00:11:50 --> 00:11:51

he's covered with a very big blanket Said,

00:11:51 --> 00:11:52

Abu Saeed al

00:11:53 --> 00:11:55

Khudr said, I placed my hand on Rasulullah

00:11:57 --> 00:11:58

from above the blanket.

00:11:59 --> 00:12:02

And I said, you Rasoolallah, your fever has

00:12:02 --> 00:12:03

become

00:12:03 --> 00:12:05

very very very strong.

00:12:06 --> 00:12:08

Your fever has become very strong. You're extremely

00:12:08 --> 00:12:10

ill. You're extremely sick.

00:12:10 --> 00:12:11

He said

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

what?

00:12:13 --> 00:12:15

He says, This is the way that difficulty

00:12:15 --> 00:12:17

is put upon us, and this is the

00:12:17 --> 00:12:19

way that our reward is multiplied with Allah

00:12:20 --> 00:12:21

Which is what?

00:12:22 --> 00:12:23

This is Rasulullah

00:12:24 --> 00:12:24

of

00:12:25 --> 00:12:25

Allah

00:12:26 --> 00:12:28

a'ala system. This is Rasulullah salallahu alaihi wa

00:12:28 --> 00:12:31

sallam bearing witness to the system of Allah

00:12:31 --> 00:12:33

subhanahu wa ta'ala. That what? He didn't say,

00:12:33 --> 00:12:35

oh, yes. I this is horrible. I hate

00:12:35 --> 00:12:37

this. Why me? Why am I going through

00:12:37 --> 00:12:39

this? It would have been nice if I

00:12:39 --> 00:12:41

wasn't sick. It would have been nice if

00:12:41 --> 00:12:43

this happened. Would it no. He says,

00:12:44 --> 00:12:45

this is the way that

00:12:45 --> 00:12:48

difficulty is made severe upon us, and this

00:12:48 --> 00:12:50

is the way that our reward is multiplied,

00:12:50 --> 00:12:52

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

00:12:52 --> 00:12:54

This is something very important.

00:12:55 --> 00:12:57

There is something in the deen of a

00:12:57 --> 00:12:57

person called

00:12:58 --> 00:12:59

What is

00:13:00 --> 00:13:02

That you must struggle with difficulty.

00:13:03 --> 00:13:05

You must struggle with difficulty.

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

Unfortunately,

00:13:06 --> 00:13:07

many of the people who have stood on

00:13:07 --> 00:13:10

the member of rasulullah salallahu alaihi wa sallam

00:13:10 --> 00:13:13

have sold our community snake oil and have

00:13:13 --> 00:13:15

told them, yes, everything is easy, everything will

00:13:15 --> 00:13:18

be easy. Some of them said, what? Don't

00:13:18 --> 00:13:19

make your deen difficult.

00:13:21 --> 00:13:23

Don't worry about their strict adherence to the

00:13:23 --> 00:13:26

shara of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Don't make

00:13:26 --> 00:13:29

your dream difficult for yourself. Make everything easy.

00:13:29 --> 00:13:30

Some of the people have said, no. No.

00:13:30 --> 00:13:32

No. Practice the sharia and everything will be

00:13:32 --> 00:13:34

easy. Don't worry about it. The fact of

00:13:34 --> 00:13:37

the matter is what? The hadith very clearly

00:13:37 --> 00:13:39

indicates that the person who is the closest

00:13:39 --> 00:13:41

in their character, and in their disposition, and

00:13:41 --> 00:13:42

in their faith to Rasulullah

00:13:43 --> 00:13:45

alaihi wa sallam, that person, it's not going

00:13:45 --> 00:13:47

to be a source of their deen being

00:13:47 --> 00:13:48

made easy. In fact, it will be a

00:13:48 --> 00:13:50

reason for their deen being even more difficult

00:13:50 --> 00:13:52

for them going through even more difficulty.

00:13:53 --> 00:13:55

Again, it's very important to understand why what's

00:13:55 --> 00:13:56

happening is happening.

00:13:57 --> 00:13:59

Rasulullah salallahu alaihi wa sallam, one of the

00:13:59 --> 00:14:00

the methodologies

00:14:00 --> 00:14:03

used in pedagogy to teach was what? He

00:14:03 --> 00:14:05

would tell people the reason why they're doing

00:14:05 --> 00:14:06

what they're doing.

00:14:07 --> 00:14:09

The difficulty is going to be there. Is

00:14:10 --> 00:14:11

part of the deen of Islam.

00:14:12 --> 00:14:13

Anyone who ever tells you in the dunya

00:14:13 --> 00:14:16

that you will get something without working hard

00:14:16 --> 00:14:17

for it, that person is lying to you

00:14:17 --> 00:14:19

and cheating you. And anyone who tells you

00:14:19 --> 00:14:21

that you're going to get something easily when

00:14:21 --> 00:14:23

you die. With Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, it's

00:14:23 --> 00:14:26

an even bigger lie and even bigger cheat.

00:14:26 --> 00:14:28

And anyone who tells something, you're going to

00:14:28 --> 00:14:30

receive something in the akhirah forever and ever.

00:14:30 --> 00:14:33

Without some sort of difficulty, that person is

00:14:33 --> 00:14:35

even bigger liar, even bigger cheater. Rather if

00:14:35 --> 00:14:37

something is worth having, it's worth working for.

00:14:38 --> 00:14:40

And then Nabi salallahu alayhi wa sallam taught

00:14:40 --> 00:14:40

us

00:14:41 --> 00:14:43

what? Why we're going through these difficulties that

00:14:43 --> 00:14:45

we're going through. Trust me, just having, you

00:14:45 --> 00:14:46

know,

00:14:46 --> 00:14:49

some crazy guy show up on TV or

00:14:49 --> 00:14:50

several crazy people show up on TV and

00:14:50 --> 00:14:52

say something bad about your community

00:14:52 --> 00:14:54

or somebody else something out of a moving

00:14:55 --> 00:14:56

take that crack at you while you're walking

00:14:56 --> 00:14:58

down the street. This is not good. It's

00:14:58 --> 00:15:00

not a fun thing. It's not something that

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

we look forward to. But trust me, it's

00:15:01 --> 00:15:03

not the most difficult thing that Muslims have

00:15:03 --> 00:15:04

gone through.

00:15:05 --> 00:15:07

Not today nor in the in the past.

00:15:08 --> 00:15:09

Not today, nor in the past. Not in

00:15:09 --> 00:15:11

this land, nor in any other land. There

00:15:11 --> 00:15:13

were people who were brought here in chains.

00:15:13 --> 00:15:15

There were people who were lashed to death,

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

who were taken away from their homeland, from

00:15:17 --> 00:15:19

their from their from their family. There

00:15:19 --> 00:15:21

were who were chained and brought here as

00:15:21 --> 00:15:23

slaves. You're going through nothing compared to what

00:15:23 --> 00:15:24

they went through.

00:15:25 --> 00:15:27

But still, what they went through, their reward

00:15:27 --> 00:15:29

is with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. What you're

00:15:29 --> 00:15:31

going through, your reward is with Allah ta'ala.

00:15:31 --> 00:15:34

Looking at the immigration Canada website and trying

00:15:34 --> 00:15:36

to run away from it, it's not going

00:15:36 --> 00:15:37

to help you at all.

00:15:37 --> 00:15:40

A, when you run, you're running from the

00:15:40 --> 00:15:41

father of Allah ta'ala to the father of

00:15:41 --> 00:15:44

Allah ta'ala. You're running from your destiny to

00:15:44 --> 00:15:46

your destiny. If the difficulty is going to

00:15:46 --> 00:15:47

catch up with you, it's gonna find you.

00:15:47 --> 00:15:49

It'll find you wherever you are. Wherever you

00:15:49 --> 00:15:52

are. Even if you're sitting in secure security

00:15:52 --> 00:15:54

in in in a warm room in your

00:15:54 --> 00:15:56

bed and in your blanket, the difficulty will

00:15:56 --> 00:15:58

find you one way or the other. The

00:15:58 --> 00:16:00

second thing is what? Even if you evade

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

the difficulty, if you evade the mujahada,

00:16:03 --> 00:16:05

what are you evading? You're evading the mercy

00:16:05 --> 00:16:07

of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. You're evading the

00:16:07 --> 00:16:10

forgiveness of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Truly cursed

00:16:10 --> 00:16:12

is somebody who is able to evade Allah

00:16:12 --> 00:16:15

Ta'ala's mercy. That mercy which covers every single

00:16:15 --> 00:16:17

thing, and covers every single person in this

00:16:17 --> 00:16:19

world and it will cover the ones that

00:16:19 --> 00:16:21

he loves in the hereafter. Truly, this is

00:16:21 --> 00:16:22

a sign of a bad faith,

00:16:23 --> 00:16:25

of of of having a bad faith and

00:16:25 --> 00:16:26

having very little,

00:16:27 --> 00:16:29

luck and having very little, in the way

00:16:29 --> 00:16:30

of providential,

00:16:31 --> 00:16:32

gift that a person should be able to

00:16:32 --> 00:16:34

run away from the

00:16:35 --> 00:16:37

of Allah and the of Allah So when

00:16:42 --> 00:16:44

who cannot take how much difficulty he's going

00:16:44 --> 00:16:46

through. What does he say? He says, this

00:16:46 --> 00:16:48

is the way we are tested. And this

00:16:48 --> 00:16:50

is the way Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala multiplies

00:16:50 --> 00:16:54

our reward. Sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Then said,

00:16:55 --> 00:16:56

he asked a question from,

00:16:57 --> 00:16:59

which is very similar to the question of

00:17:02 --> 00:17:03

He says, who are the people who are

00:17:04 --> 00:17:06

most tested? You know the answers to prophets

00:17:06 --> 00:17:08

and those people who are like the prophets,

00:17:09 --> 00:17:12

Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasalam answers the question slightly

00:17:12 --> 00:17:12

differently

00:17:12 --> 00:17:14

here. He says, You Rasoolah, who are the

00:17:14 --> 00:17:17

people who are most tested? He says, alayhi

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

wassalam.

00:17:18 --> 00:17:20

Then he's asked, then who? Then he says

00:17:21 --> 00:17:23

the The people of knowledge.

00:17:23 --> 00:17:24

Why? Because

00:17:26 --> 00:17:28

The ulama are the inheritors of the prophets

00:17:28 --> 00:17:29

alayhi musaatoasalam.

00:17:30 --> 00:17:32

The ulama are the inheritors of the prophets

00:17:32 --> 00:17:33

alayhi musaatoasalam.

00:17:49 --> 00:17:49

Those people? Who is that class of people

00:17:49 --> 00:17:49

in this that are most like the prophets?

00:17:49 --> 00:17:49

So the people of knowledge. This is part

00:17:49 --> 00:17:49

of our. As a side note, if there's

00:17:49 --> 00:17:52

anybody who walks around and says, yes. The

00:17:52 --> 00:17:52

the

00:17:53 --> 00:17:55

backwards messed up this

00:17:58 --> 00:18:00

and these backwards people, blah blah blah. If

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

someone chose Allah chose someone to carry the

00:18:02 --> 00:18:04

book of Allah to Allah in his heart,

00:18:04 --> 00:18:05

and chose someone to carry the hadith of

00:18:05 --> 00:18:07

the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam

00:18:07 --> 00:18:09

and his knowledge in his heart, and chose

00:18:09 --> 00:18:11

someone to carry that knowledge of fiqh and

00:18:11 --> 00:18:12

sharia in their heart, and you have a

00:18:12 --> 00:18:14

bad opinion of them, you have a bad

00:18:14 --> 00:18:15

opinion of those people who Allah and his

00:18:15 --> 00:18:18

Rasool, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam love. Because the

00:18:18 --> 00:18:20

hadith of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,

00:18:20 --> 00:18:21

not just in these 2 ahadith, but in

00:18:21 --> 00:18:24

many places explicitly corroborates that what? The ulama

00:18:24 --> 00:18:26

are the people who are most like the

00:18:26 --> 00:18:28

and they are the one who discharge the

00:18:28 --> 00:18:30

function in this that's most like

00:18:30 --> 00:18:31

the

00:18:32 --> 00:18:34

Says then who? He said,

00:18:34 --> 00:18:37

who who after the He said, the.

00:18:37 --> 00:18:40

The righteous people. Who are the? They are

00:18:40 --> 00:18:42

the people who religiously keep the commandments of

00:18:42 --> 00:18:43

our sacred Sharia,

00:18:44 --> 00:18:45

And everything they do, and it that they

00:18:45 --> 00:18:48

abstain from by day and night through their

00:18:48 --> 00:18:50

eyes, through their tongues, through what they eat

00:18:50 --> 00:18:51

and drink, through what they touch, through what

00:18:51 --> 00:18:53

they feel, through what they do as a

00:18:53 --> 00:18:55

living, through how they earn their living, all

00:18:55 --> 00:18:57

of these things. The people who do that,

00:18:57 --> 00:18:59

they are what? They are the salihun. Nabi

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

then elaborates. He says regarding this group of

00:19:03 --> 00:19:05

people, he says that one of them one

00:19:05 --> 00:19:07

of them is such a person that even

00:19:07 --> 00:19:08

if he were to be,

00:19:09 --> 00:19:12

tested, his test would be so severe that

00:19:12 --> 00:19:13

it would be something like,

00:19:14 --> 00:19:15

being eaten by ticks.

00:19:16 --> 00:19:18

Can you imagine what that is? A tick

00:19:18 --> 00:19:20

is a small insect. So is one tick

00:19:20 --> 00:19:22

able to eat an entire person?

00:19:23 --> 00:19:23

No.

00:19:24 --> 00:19:26

Imagine an infestation like they said that there

00:19:26 --> 00:19:28

are people that were tested so severely that

00:19:28 --> 00:19:30

they would one of them would be eaten

00:19:30 --> 00:19:32

by tick ticks. And another man would be

00:19:32 --> 00:19:33

tested so severely

00:19:33 --> 00:19:36

by poverty that he would find nothing to

00:19:36 --> 00:19:38

wear except for, like, an overcoat.

00:19:38 --> 00:19:40

Imagine someone only had, like, an overcoat or

00:19:40 --> 00:19:41

a trench coat. That's all they had to

00:19:41 --> 00:19:44

wear. No shirt. No pants. That's how broke

00:19:44 --> 00:19:45

they were, that they could only find an

00:19:45 --> 00:19:47

irregular piece of clothing in order to clothe

00:19:47 --> 00:19:49

their nakedness. None of us is going through

00:19:49 --> 00:19:50

that type of difficulty.

00:19:50 --> 00:19:51

None of us is going through that type

00:19:51 --> 00:19:52

of difficulty.

00:19:52 --> 00:19:54

This is the way Allah test the people

00:19:54 --> 00:19:55

that he loves.

00:19:56 --> 00:19:56

And

00:19:56 --> 00:19:58

says one more thing on top of it.

00:19:58 --> 00:19:59

He says one more thing on top of

00:19:59 --> 00:20:00

it. He says,

00:20:06 --> 00:20:08

That these are such people. Their iman is

00:20:08 --> 00:20:11

such. Remember, we talk about mujahada struggling, and

00:20:11 --> 00:20:13

we talk about mujahada, bearing witness to the

00:20:13 --> 00:20:16

system of Allah ta'ala. That one person is

00:20:16 --> 00:20:18

struggling, and they wonder why me. And another

00:20:18 --> 00:20:20

person struggles, and everyone thinks this person is

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

crazy because of how happy they are and

00:20:22 --> 00:20:24

how peaceful they are with Allah subhanahu wa

00:20:24 --> 00:20:25

ta'ala. Not just peaceful.

00:20:26 --> 00:20:26

Some people,

00:20:27 --> 00:20:28

how much

00:20:28 --> 00:20:30

ecstasy they have, how what an ecstatic state

00:20:30 --> 00:20:32

they have because of their knowledge of the

00:20:32 --> 00:20:34

maqam they have with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:20:34 --> 00:20:36

That one of them would be in such

00:20:36 --> 00:20:38

a state, and he would be even happier

00:20:38 --> 00:20:39

with such a state than one of you

00:20:39 --> 00:20:41

would have been had someone given them a

00:20:41 --> 00:20:43

great amount of money or given them a

00:20:43 --> 00:20:44

great gift.

00:20:44 --> 00:20:47

Why? Because they understand who it's coming from,

00:20:47 --> 00:20:48

what's going on, and who it's coming from.

00:20:48 --> 00:20:49

It's coming from Allah

00:20:51 --> 00:20:52

All of this is for the good.

00:20:53 --> 00:20:55

All of this is for the khair. All

00:20:55 --> 00:20:57

of the difficulty, all of this stuff you

00:20:57 --> 00:20:59

see on the news, and it depresses people.

00:20:59 --> 00:21:01

All of these things people challenge, say bad

00:21:01 --> 00:21:03

things about you, say bad things about your

00:21:03 --> 00:21:05

deen, say bad things about about our women,

00:21:05 --> 00:21:07

say bad things about our forefathers, say bad

00:21:07 --> 00:21:09

things about the deen of Allah subhanahu wa

00:21:09 --> 00:21:11

ta'ala. All of these things are good.

00:21:11 --> 00:21:13

And the people in the past, they saw

00:21:13 --> 00:21:14

the good because they saw who it's coming

00:21:14 --> 00:21:15

from.

00:21:16 --> 00:21:17

Nabi alayhi saw to Islam

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

and a hadith could see that he narrates.

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

Right? He in a hadith could see that

00:21:23 --> 00:21:26

he narrates such brought by, Imam Hakim

00:21:26 --> 00:21:28

and his and is narrated by Saidna Abdardah

00:21:29 --> 00:21:29

radiAllahu

00:21:30 --> 00:21:33

radiAllahu radiAllahu radiAllahu further elaborates what is this?

00:21:33 --> 00:21:35

This happiness that the people have when they're

00:21:35 --> 00:21:36

going through difficulty.

00:21:37 --> 00:21:40

Right? Think about it for a second. Think

00:21:40 --> 00:21:42

about you yourself, because, oh, that's great, There's

00:21:42 --> 00:21:44

some pious people in the past and blah

00:21:44 --> 00:21:45

blah blah. What does it have to do

00:21:45 --> 00:21:47

with me? The answer to the question is

00:21:47 --> 00:21:49

something that's variable with every person. Maybe it

00:21:49 --> 00:21:51

has nothing to do with you. If you

00:21:51 --> 00:21:53

don't look forward to having that happiness with

00:21:53 --> 00:21:54

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, that howl with Allah

00:21:54 --> 00:21:56

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, maybe it has nothing to

00:21:56 --> 00:21:58

do with you. Maybe this khutbah is completely

00:21:58 --> 00:21:58

irrelevant.

00:21:59 --> 00:22:00

Everybody should at least close their eyes for

00:22:00 --> 00:22:02

a second, and make sincere dua to Allah

00:22:02 --> 00:22:04

Subhanahu wa ta'ala. Whether you get eaten alive

00:22:04 --> 00:22:05

by ticks or not is not what you're

00:22:05 --> 00:22:07

supposed to ask for. But you make dua

00:22:07 --> 00:22:09

to Allah to Allah. Yeah. Allah give me

00:22:09 --> 00:22:10

a howl with you also,

00:22:10 --> 00:22:12

that I'm pleased with you because you're pleased

00:22:12 --> 00:22:13

with me as well.

00:22:14 --> 00:22:15

And so hadith narrated

00:22:15 --> 00:22:17

by, Imam Hakim,

00:22:18 --> 00:22:19

in his narrated

00:22:19 --> 00:22:20

by

00:22:30 --> 00:22:32

said, I heard Abu Kasim, the prophet, the

00:22:32 --> 00:22:35

messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam say,

00:22:36 --> 00:22:37

oh, Isa. He's

00:22:45 --> 00:22:46

Says, yeah,

00:22:49 --> 00:22:49

Isa.

00:22:56 --> 00:22:58

So, Risa, I will raise an ummah. I

00:22:58 --> 00:23:01

will raise an ummah after you, such an

00:23:01 --> 00:23:03

ummah that when something they love happens, something

00:23:03 --> 00:23:05

that they like happens, they will praise, and

00:23:05 --> 00:23:05

they will be thankful. And if something difficult

00:23:05 --> 00:23:06

or something that they dislike happens to them,

00:23:06 --> 00:23:08

they will they will hope for reward from

00:23:08 --> 00:23:10

Allah and they will be

00:23:11 --> 00:23:13

they will they will hope for reward from

00:23:13 --> 00:23:14

Allah

00:23:14 --> 00:23:15

and they will be patient.

00:23:17 --> 00:23:19

And they are people who have no forbearance,

00:23:19 --> 00:23:21

and they are people who have no knowledge.

00:23:22 --> 00:23:23

This is an interesting

00:23:23 --> 00:23:25

interesting statement. That there are people who have

00:23:25 --> 00:23:27

no forbearance and they have no knowledge. So

00:23:27 --> 00:23:29

if you're listening also, you'll also wonder how

00:23:29 --> 00:23:30

are they going to be able to cope

00:23:30 --> 00:23:32

with all this and have such a high

00:23:32 --> 00:23:34

if they have no forbearance and no knowledge.

00:23:39 --> 00:23:40

Says and he said, Naysa alaihis salam himself,

00:23:40 --> 00:23:42

he said, what? He said, oh my lord.

00:23:42 --> 00:23:43

So how are they gonna be able to

00:23:43 --> 00:23:45

cope with all of this difficulty and have

00:23:45 --> 00:23:47

such a good response to the difficulties that

00:23:47 --> 00:23:50

they're given despite the fact that they have

00:23:50 --> 00:23:53

no forbearance, no good character, nor any nor

00:23:53 --> 00:23:53

any knowledge?

00:23:54 --> 00:23:56

What does Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala say?

00:23:59 --> 00:24:01

Allah ta'ala says, I myself will give them

00:24:01 --> 00:24:03

from what? I myself will give them from

00:24:03 --> 00:24:04

my hillm.

00:24:06 --> 00:24:08

From my hillm, from my forbearance. Allah ta'ala

00:24:08 --> 00:24:10

is Al Khalim. I will give them for

00:24:10 --> 00:24:12

my and I will give them for my

00:24:12 --> 00:24:14

I will give them for my forbearance, I

00:24:14 --> 00:24:15

will give them for my knowledge.

00:24:16 --> 00:24:17

Now tell me something,

00:24:18 --> 00:24:20

whose whose good character and forbearance is superior

00:24:20 --> 00:24:21

to that of Allah

00:24:23 --> 00:24:25

Whose good character and forbearance is even able

00:24:25 --> 00:24:26

to resemble that of Allah

00:24:27 --> 00:24:28

ta'ala from the creation?

00:24:28 --> 00:24:31

Whose knowledge is able to resemble the knowledge

00:24:31 --> 00:24:34

of Allah subhanahu ta'ala from his creation? Who's

00:24:34 --> 00:24:35

going to stand and say, I have a

00:24:35 --> 00:24:37

PhD from Harvard. My aim is greater than

00:24:37 --> 00:24:39

anyone who created the heavens and the earth

00:24:39 --> 00:24:40

from nothing.

00:24:42 --> 00:24:45

This is a special gift Allah gave to

00:24:45 --> 00:24:45

this ummah.

00:24:46 --> 00:24:48

This is the help of Allah This

00:24:48 --> 00:24:51

is why this Umma has survived from that

00:24:51 --> 00:24:52

time until this time.

00:24:52 --> 00:24:53

This is why

00:24:54 --> 00:24:56

Allah no matter how difficult things get, the

00:24:56 --> 00:24:58

more difficulty there is, the more help that

00:24:58 --> 00:24:59

comes from Allah

00:25:01 --> 00:25:02

And the help of Allah is superior to

00:25:02 --> 00:25:04

the help that you and I can give

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

ourselves.

00:25:05 --> 00:25:07

This is the meaning of what? One of

00:25:07 --> 00:25:10

them would be even happier with the difficulty

00:25:10 --> 00:25:12

Allah gave them than one of you would

00:25:12 --> 00:25:14

have been with the gift that Allah gave

00:25:14 --> 00:25:17

you. Why? Because they prefer

00:25:17 --> 00:25:18

the over

00:25:20 --> 00:25:22

the themselves, over their own forbearance, and over

00:25:22 --> 00:25:23

their own good character.

00:25:23 --> 00:25:24

Now, tell me something,

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

if you wish, if you desire, if you

00:25:27 --> 00:25:30

don't desire for the of Allah to enter

00:25:30 --> 00:25:31

into your heart, then I apologize, you should

00:25:31 --> 00:25:33

have gone to the other, the one at

00:25:33 --> 00:25:35

12 o'clock. But if you desire that the

00:25:35 --> 00:25:37

end of the hand of Allah Subhanahu Wa

00:25:37 --> 00:25:38

Ta'ala should enter into your heart,

00:25:39 --> 00:25:41

should beautify your heart, should be like the

00:25:41 --> 00:25:43

other guests inside of your heart that you

00:25:43 --> 00:25:45

wish would never leave. If you have this

00:25:45 --> 00:25:47

desire, how is it going to enter into

00:25:47 --> 00:25:49

your heart if your heart is not clean?

00:25:50 --> 00:25:51

If your heart is dirty,

00:25:52 --> 00:25:53

if your heart is filthy,

00:25:53 --> 00:25:55

if you love money more than you love

00:25:55 --> 00:25:57

your brother, if you love money more than

00:25:57 --> 00:26:00

you love salah, if you love having a

00:26:00 --> 00:26:02

nice car more than you love having this

00:26:02 --> 00:26:05

knowledge, if you love having a certain position

00:26:05 --> 00:26:07

in your corporation more than you love,

00:26:08 --> 00:26:10

having a position with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:26:10 --> 00:26:11

If your heart is

00:26:12 --> 00:26:13

dirty, if your heart what is dirty? Things

00:26:13 --> 00:26:15

are outside of their place. Right? What is

00:26:15 --> 00:26:16

the place of the heart? The only thing

00:26:16 --> 00:26:17

that the heart was made for is the

00:26:17 --> 00:26:19

law of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:26:20 --> 00:26:23

If your heart is dirty, if everything is

00:26:23 --> 00:26:25

in disarray and in a mess, how do

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

you expect this to come? If your heart

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

is polluted by looking at the Haram and

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

by listening to the Haram,

00:26:31 --> 00:26:33

and by touching the Haram, and by eating

00:26:33 --> 00:26:35

and drinking the Haram, how do you expect

00:26:35 --> 00:26:36

this help to come?

00:26:37 --> 00:26:38

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala doesn't give you from

00:26:38 --> 00:26:40

his him and from his ilm just because,

00:26:41 --> 00:26:43

and and I'm from Pakistan, and I'm from

00:26:43 --> 00:26:44

India, of course, Allah ta'ala would help us.

00:26:45 --> 00:26:46

And I'm beautiful, and I'm smart. I read

00:26:46 --> 00:26:48

I prayed one time. How are you gonna

00:26:48 --> 00:26:50

have this enter into your heart? Brothers and

00:26:50 --> 00:26:53

sisters, the challenges in front of this community,

00:26:54 --> 00:26:56

the challenges in front of this community are

00:26:56 --> 00:26:56

overwhelming.

00:26:57 --> 00:26:58

Whoever is telling you that, oh, it will

00:26:58 --> 00:27:00

be okay, don't worry, just go back to

00:27:00 --> 00:27:01

your business right now, that person is trying

00:27:01 --> 00:27:03

to put you to sleep before your slaughter.

00:27:04 --> 00:27:06

This community is going to go through great

00:27:06 --> 00:27:08

difficulty. Our sheikh and teacher, sheikh Amin, who

00:27:08 --> 00:27:10

gives kufa here from time to time as

00:27:10 --> 00:27:13

well, he very simply said it. Because whoever

00:27:13 --> 00:27:14

here is to make money, if your purpose

00:27:14 --> 00:27:16

is like, I'm just gonna, like, lay low,

00:27:16 --> 00:27:17

pray my father has any prayers, make as

00:27:17 --> 00:27:19

much money as I can. I'm just trying

00:27:19 --> 00:27:20

to pay off this house. I'm just trying

00:27:20 --> 00:27:22

to do this, that, and the other thing.

00:27:22 --> 00:27:23

Right? He says, if you're here for the

00:27:23 --> 00:27:26

sake of Allah, you'll be just fine. Whoever

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

is here to milk the fat cow, you're

00:27:27 --> 00:27:28

in trouble.

00:27:28 --> 00:27:30

I'm putting on notice, lose some sleep at

00:27:30 --> 00:27:32

night, you're in trouble. It's not gonna happen.

00:27:32 --> 00:27:33

It's not gonna work. It's all gonna fall

00:27:33 --> 00:27:35

apart. If you're here for the sake of

00:27:35 --> 00:27:38

Allah ta'ala, this is a beautiful gift from

00:27:38 --> 00:27:40

him. That there was a time maybe 2

00:27:40 --> 00:27:41

weeks ago you thought you would have been

00:27:41 --> 00:27:44

able to get by without worrying about your

00:27:44 --> 00:27:46

state with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Now everybody's

00:27:46 --> 00:27:48

back is to the wall, and everybody is

00:27:48 --> 00:27:49

saying, oh my goodness. This does not look

00:27:49 --> 00:27:51

like looking like it's gonna be good. I

00:27:51 --> 00:27:53

need to shore up and tighten up and

00:27:53 --> 00:27:55

clean up my house with Allah subhanahu wa

00:27:55 --> 00:27:55

ta'ala.

00:27:56 --> 00:27:58

If you just received that gift from Allah

00:27:58 --> 00:27:59

Allah then all of it is worth it.

00:27:59 --> 00:28:01

All of it is something to be happy

00:28:01 --> 00:28:03

about and thankful for. Whatever that you see

00:28:03 --> 00:28:05

in front of you, don't run away from

00:28:05 --> 00:28:07

it. Embrace it. Make it into your friend.

00:28:07 --> 00:28:08

It will give you a you that's better

00:28:08 --> 00:28:10

than the you you already have. Allah

00:28:11 --> 00:28:12

give all of us so much

00:28:16 --> 00:28:16

tofim.
