So we continue,
in the chapter
regarding the virtues of tawadur,
of humility.
When he would,
when he would eat his food, he would
lick his 3 fingers.
Why three fingers?
So he used 3 fingers. Yeah. Because he
used to eat with 3 fingers. It's so
nice to eat with 3 fingers.
Right? Your
your thumb and then your pointer finger, your
middle finger, and your ring finger.
That's what he used to. He used to
eat so he would lick the 3 fingers.
Why would he lick the 3 fingers?
Because there's food on it, you're not gonna
waste it.
There's food on it, you're not going to
waste it. And he said
and it says that he said
that if a morsel of food of one
of you
should fall down
then pick it up and wipe off whatever
like dirt or dust or or dirtiness is
on it Take, you know, take off whatever
part of it is no longer,
suitable to consume
and, eat the rest of it and don't
leave it for shaitan. Why?
Because the food that you waste is left
for shaitan. So if there's some part of
it that's consumable,
don't waste it. Don't increase shaitan's share from
your food.
And he commanded that the plates should be
licked clean, not necessarily direct with your tongue,
but they should be,
the the spoon or fingers or whatever should,
get all the food out of them, and
they should be completely clean and dry,
when you're done with them. And he said,
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
You don't know which part of the food
Allah Ta'al has hidden the blessings in, and
it's a hadith of Muslim.
Now one of the one of the things
about this hadith is what is that it
was the custom of the Persians
that a person shouldn't finish their food. They
should leave some food on the plate in
order to not look poor or needy or
not to look hungry as a sign of
that I don't have to eat this food.
I can waste some of it. And some
people do that. They'll leave a little bit
of, you know, food on their plate or
they'll leave a little bit in their cup.
Aslan, a person shouldn't in sunnah is that
people should eat together.
They shouldn't eat separately. They should eat together
out of the same plate. And it's a
way of increasing love between people. So much
so that it's even a way of increasing
love between husband and wife, you know. People
then they don't follow these sunnahs and afterward
they get into fights and they say, well,
know, we've grown distant, we've grown apart. Have
you tried eating together one time? You know,
your parents and children, brothers and sisters, etcetera.
Have you tried eating together one time? There's
a lot of khair in it. There's a
lot of baraka in it and a lot
of these sunun then can be implemented when
people eat together, you know, literally from the
from the same plate.
So the idea is that there's baraka hidden
inside the food. You don't know which part
of it the baraka is in.
When I was in Morocco,
I was told that this is a custom
to the Moroccans actually that that the the
the plates when they're like to be lift
clean, they usually give it to the youngest,
the youngest in the family or who the
most, like, beloved child is. Why? Because the
barakah is there. The barakah is there, and
so it's a sign of love and respect
that the elders give that to the, the
youngers.
And this hadith is brought in which chapter
the chapter regarding humility.
So the reason that the Persians didn't use
to finish their food is out of their
arrogance.
The reason we finish the food is that,
is humility. And the Nabi sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam, he used to eat. How did he
used to eat when
how did he used to sit when eating?
You'd always sit on the floor Sallallahu Alaihi
Wasallam when he'd eat and he'd sit in
one of 3 poses. 3 there were 3
poses for eating that come through the.
1 is squatting.
The other is sitting with one leg up
and one leg sitting with what the weight
on one leg and with one leg up.
And the third way is the the the
way that a person sits in,
a person sits in the salah. It doesn't
ever come that the Nabi salasam sat leaning
back and eating or or leaning against something.
And when he when he was asked why
he sits like this when eating, he said
that I'm a slave and I prefer to
sit like a slave. All of these things
are.
All of them are humility.
They're all humility.
And it's interesting, you know, it's something perhaps
I've mentioned before a story but it's because
I like it a lot. It's a good
story. We should mention it again and again.
Saidna Buhrerra radhiallahu ta'alaan who he was appointed
by, Saidna Amar radhiallahu ta'alaan who to be
the governor of Bahrain,
which in those days was everything in between
Basra and
and Oman. So basically all of the eastern
part of the Arabian Peninsula,
what they call Kuwait and what they call,
the Emirates and Qatar and all these places,
it was all just Bahrain.
And so,
he was appointed the governor of Bahrain. And
when the food was served, he finished his
he was about to finish his plate. And,
you know, one of the one of his
political advisers or someone who thought he was
one of his political advisers, very politely leans
in his ear and say, don't finish your
food because they consider it a sign of
weakness and a sign of poverty over here
for a person too. Finish his food. And
in the the proper tradition of being Arab.
Right?
Proper Uthman, you're Arab. Right? You're Arabi. Right?
Right? Arabic doesn't mean You
wanna know what being Arabi means? This is
what it means. In the proper tradition of
being Arab, what does he say? He just
turns around and says,
Should I leave the sunnah of the one
I love
for these fools?
What does it say to Haqim? Don't don't
fear anything. That's what that's what that's what
that's why Allah sent the message to these
people. May Allah be pleased with them. Right?
He said, should I leave the sunnah of
the one I love
for these fools? And so his advisers realized,
okay, we're gonna we're gonna have, like, a
different paradigm now that we work on,
when advising.
And so this is this is something that
that, you know, it's good. You know, when
you the practicing of eating and things like
that, it's not like you know, I'll admit
to you. It's not like every time I
sit, I sit on the floor like this,
you know, with one leg up and things
like that. But fine. It's good to know
what it is and it's good to practice.
There's benefit in it. There's there's benefit in
it,
Insha'Allah. And it engenders in a person humility
in front of Allah. I mean, there's so
many sunnahs regarding the way people eat that
are so unfortunately so
ignored.
You know what I mean?
They're just so ignored.
For example,
right, we talked about sitting on the floor,
we talked about several people eating sitting from
the same plate, we talked about finishing the
food. One of the things, that that our
told us this, also that you'll see that
when the food is served,
it's good manners to wait for the food
to be served rather than
food is served and then you sit on
the dinner table. And when the food is
served, you should start eating rather than waiting
for people to eat. Why? Because the nirma
is the representative of Allah ta'ala at your
table.
The nirma is the representative of Allah ta'ala
at your table.
We don't make ta'adeem of other people.
We don't venerate other people rather we venerate
the nirma.
So the west the system is the other
way around. That you wait till everyone comes
and sits and then you start eating. In
our system, what do you do? You sit
first and then the food is served and
and you eat when the food is
served. Why? Because
the nirma is the reminder of Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala. The food is the reminder of
Allah ta'ala. That this person say, bismillah when
they eat and they say, alhamdulillah,
when they're finished.
This is how we, were taught from our
mashaikh and this is what we learned from
our from our teachers that that Allah ta'ala
is the one that you remember. It's not
one another that you should,
magnify rather it's him and his blessings that
he gives to us.
And this is part of humility is that
a person downplay their own importance and that
they they stick to these sunnahs and don't
worry so much about what other people think
about them as much as they worry what
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala thinks about them.
So hadith we read before in this. There's
but again, it's the Nabi sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam, you know, being humble with people. He
says that Allah Ta'ala
did not raise
a prophet except for he had been at
some time or another
a a herder of of of sheep and
goats.
And so his companions said
to him, and you also,
and he said,
yeah. I used to,
I used to herd,
herd the sheep and goats, and I used
to get paid. They'll break pararit is like
a broken piece of a coin. They used
to break off sections of coins and give
them to me as as as a as
a gift. Right? We talked about this that
there's no shame in in working for a
living.
That's another thing is that the Nabi is
now the sovereign ruler of Madinah Munawwara, and
he has thousands of,
thousands of followers, and he has armies underneath
his command, etcetera, etcetera. But there's no shame
in admitting, you know, a person's humble past,
and there's no shame in you know? We're
just like herding goats and sheep is like
the the,
whatever, Makin
Madinan Hejazi equivalent of having, like, a minimum
wage job. There's no shame in doing work,
and he admitted. It. In fact, he was
bringing good lessons out of it that a
person everyone can a person can get good
lessons out of everything. You get a job
at Dairy Queen, you're serving ice cream to
people, you have to wear the kind of
that that, you know, uniform that you're probably
not gonna get a whole lot of marriage
proposals while you're wearing it or whatever. But
still, you learn something from it. You learn
how to be patient with people. You learn
how to take care of the customer. You
learn how to do things cleanly, you know.
I hope you learn you learn a lot
of how to show up on time and
how to deal with your boss and with
other cranky employees and customers and whatnot. So
he's he's saying, look, you know, I did
this thing and I learned from it. I
benefited from it. And he's sharing that with
people and he was not too pride proud
to take the job and he was not
too proud to share that he took the
job with one another. It's one of the
beautiful things about America, masha'Allah, is that in
many of our countries you come to come
from, people are too class conscious to ever
be able to take jobs like this, which
is not a good thing. But, you know,
here,
you know, you get a chance to to
do a little bit of the dirty work
yourself, So, alhamdulillah,
Let's benefit in it.
It.
A
a a a a invitation in which I
was to be fed a Quran, the Quran
is
the part of the leg of
of a goat or sheep that's between the
the the knee and between the the half
mark of the shank. And so there's not
a whole lot of meat there. It's just
mostly marrow and other stuff. And the is
the the the the whole,
front leg of the animal, which has a
lot more meat on it, and it was
a favorite piece of the animal of the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. The right side
because it has it's because Yamil is barakah
and the the the the front leg because
it's further away from
from the
defecation and urination of the animal. It's cleaner.
So he said that if I were invited
to any any meal,
whether it's the best part of the animal
or the most
humble part of the animal,
I would have accepted that that that invitation.
And if I was given any gift,
whether it's the best part of the animal
or the most humble part of the animal,
I would have accepted the gift as well.
Meaning what? That that not to look down
on other people because of what they have
and what means they have, not to judge,
you know, other people based on what they're
giving you or what they have to offer,
physically,
but to take them as human beings. So
whatever whatever I was invited to, I would
have accepted the invitation, and whatever I was
gifted, I would have accepted the gift.
And this also requires a bit of humility.
Why? Because it involves a person suppressing what
they believe they deserve,
or or whatnot.
And it's very important, our masha'ib, they told
us that. They said that if a humble
person gives you a gift or a poor
person gives you a gift,
never turn it down or never look down
on it because Allah then detests that. If
a person comes to you with love and
gives you something,
then then accept that. I mean, there are
many people,
you're also doctors.
You guys save people's lives and cure people
from kind of bizarre and painful things that
they go through or whatnot. Someone gives you
something, you know, accept it,
and don't don't don't look out on it
because, more often than not, you know, you
don't know what the feeling the person brings
it with is,
and it's it's important. It's difficult when a
person has to keep their nuts
in check.
So interesting hadith narrated by Sayidna Anas bin
Mark Radiwa Ta'ala Anhu.
He said that the Nabi sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam,
his she camel that he used to ride,
her name was Abba
and also,
it comes in a
a
a
a different narration that her name is, Qaswa.
And both of these are both of these
are, what you call
descriptors or adjectives.
Right?
I'm sorry. They're different animals. They're not the
same animal.
So these are defects.
They're known for defects that they had. Anyway,
there's a long tract about why
the the the the animals were, called
called what they're called. Right?
Khaburamatuh.
Right? These are different defects indeed
in the animals,
that they're named after,
that that that the the the ideas that
these she camels of the prophet
had, they had these different,
they had these different defects
in them before the Nabi
started riding them. After he started riding them,
they were like the best animals that that
were around. And so what would happen is
that the Bedouins would come to Madinah Munawwala
and one of the, like, very favorite Bedouin
pastimes. Right? Like, you wanna be, like, real
super Arab. Right? Again, and we're not talking
about hamrash shawarma and falafel Arab, but, like,
real, like, hardcore, you know, old school. You
know what I mean?
What did they they like racing camels. They
still like racing camels to this day. You
know, I used to teach English in the
Emirates when I was,
studying, you know, in order to, you have
a little bit of money to pay for
my, you know, for my living. And so
I used to teach English part time, and
I asked, like, some of the students you
know, some of the students are, like,
very nice, come in $100,000
car type and some of the students were,
like, coming to pick up truck, you know,
kinda.
And pick up truck guys, they were great.
I mean, obviously, the other guys, everyone is
great, but the the pickup truck guys were
amazing. They were, like, real down home type
people. You know? They're like, they're kind of
like they're kinda like the, you know,
the the the eastern version of rednecks.
And so I asked them what do you
guys do when you're done with school? You
know how you know one day like I
was probably yelling at them you didn't do
your homework or whatever. What do you guys
do when you're done with school? They say,
teacher, we go and raise camels.
I was like, what?
We go raise camels.
Where? At the track.
I go, that's haram, man. They're like, what
do you mean? Like, people are bedding and
things. I said, no. No. No one's bedding.
We just race the camels. We have different
camels, and we race with each other. I
was like, is it dangerous?
They're like, yeah.
And so there's the I mean, this is
the thing. They have, like, these racing tracks.
Unfortunately, they, like, use, like, small children,
to to race the animals because they're lighter
so that animal can move faster. But that's
for, like, all the big shot, like, millionaire
guys. Like, you know, they have their they
they wanna show off their, like, you know,
$1,000,000 horses and $1,000,000 camel or whatever. But
for these guys, it wasn't, like, so much
about that. It was just something that they
did. Right? And so that's the same thing.
Bedouins used to come to Madinah Munawah, and
they're like, hey. Yeah. Who wants to race?
And so people would you know, so sometimes
they would ask the prophet
because they saw what good condition his animals,
riding animals were in. So they'd ask him,
can we take the camel and go race
go race, you know.
So he'd give them permission, and generally the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam's,
camels would, like, school the the Bedouins.
But one day what happened is a Bedouin
beat the Nabi sallallahu alaihi wa sallam's camel
in a
very, like, you know, like,
has, like, happened that, oh my god, passed
out
so lost the race. And so he was
he he, you know, he was,
he was
somewhat entertained by their
by the dejectedness and the depression that they
they felt by by this thing. And he
said, look, you know, this isn't a nabi
saas, he's the messenger of Allah. It has
nothing to do with, you know, how fast
your camel is. Right? So he tells them,
he says, listen. And anyway, it's Allah's right.
It's Allah's right that nothing in this dunya
will be raised up except for one day
it's going to fall also.
So this is why a person shouldn't feel
bad about being humble. This is the nature
of every single thing in the dunya. Nothing
will go up no matter how amazing and
wonderful it is. Nothing will go up in
this dunya except for it will be dropped
in this dunya as well. That's why a
person should do what they do for the
sake of Allah Ta'ala because their progress, which
is with Allah Ta'ala, will never be, will
never be,
dropped. The progress that they do for the
next life will never be dropped. As far
as this world is concerned,
every empire, every state, every rocket, every car,
every house, every economy, every product, every single
thing that we invention, discovery,
every single thing that we have so much
pride about in this world, all of it.
It doesn't get raised except for,
one day it will be dropped as well,
and sahadith of Sahib al Khari.
Babunfitahhim
al kibri wal ajab.
The chapter regarding the unlawfulness and the prohibition
of arrogance
and and and being conceded.
Allah says in his book,
this is the,
abode of the Afira, the abode of the
hereafter.
We made it for those who don't wish,
to exalt themselves in the earth, nor do
they wish facade, nor do they wish to,
you know, what is facade?
What is fasad? To spoil and destroy things.
Things are in a good shape, and and
the fasad is to destroy them, to spoil
them.
The the abode of the hereafter is for
the people who don't wish,
to exalt themselves nor do they wish for
a facade.
And the end is for those who fear
god.
Don't,
walk in the earth,
Maraham, meaning what?
Right?
Don't think you're all, you know, don't think
you're all that. People have that sometimes, you
know. You tell by the way I use
my walk, you know, that I'm etcetera, etcetera,
etcetera. No. You tell by the way you
use your walk that you're conceited. Person shouldn't,
you know, a person shouldn't humiliate themselves. There's
a difference between being humble and and and
being humiliated,
but at the same time, a person shouldn't
be conceded when they when they walk, that
they think they're better than others.
Allah Ta'ala says what? Do not turn your
cheek away from people, like when somebody, you
know, when you're talking to them, not face
them. This is actually it's interesting. The Nabi
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
his sunnah is what that when he
when he used to talk to somebody, he
would turn his whole body toward them and
face them properly so that they
receive the attention and they feel like they're
receiving the attention that that they deserve when
they're speaking. It's a type of concededness to,
you know, someone's talking to you and you're
like, hey, what's going on? You know? Or
worse yet, they're talking to you like, yeah,
you know, I'm busy right now. You know,
you don't even turn to to to to
look at them or or acknowledge their existence.
Don't turn your your cheek away from people
when when, when talking to them.
And no walk in
in in in the earth,
with with with a swagger of conceit.
Allah doesn't like people who are conceited, who
think, like, highly of themselves,
and Allah ta'ala doesn't like people who are
boastful and who are arrogant.
So the story is told in the Quran
of Karun.
Who is Karun? Karun is from the?
Do me a favor, Omar Henry and Musa.
The smaller one, not the huge one.
So
Surah Al Qasas is the story of the
story of Qarun. Who is Qarun? Qarun is
a person who was born into a respectable
family of Banu Israel,
and, he is a person who had a
lot of wealth, and he was a person
who had,
a lot of,
knowledge,
as well.
And, he was a person who,
you know, he was kind of like a
hater on Sayed the Musa alaihis salatu al
salam, and he you know, even though he
wasn't a nabi, but he would just use
his his influence and his wealth in order
to,
you know, just just kind of be a
hater. And that was that was what he
did.
And, he was he's known in the Bible
also as Korah.
And so what does Allah
He used to he was a person from
the called the nation of Musa alayhis salam,
and he
that he used to he had so much
wealth that just to carry the keys for
his, treasure
chest, the keys were so big that it
required several,
several powerful men,
a group of powerful men in order just
to carry the keys.
And his people would say to him, don't
be don't be so exuberant because of what
Allah gave you. One thing is you're happy
and you you you praise Allah
for what he gave you. One thing is
you think, oh, I'm the stuff. You know,
I have look at what all all the
stuff I have. I'm I made it, you
know, I made it, son. I'm that's it.
It's it's all me, you know.
So they were telling, don't be like that.
Allah doesn't like people who are like that,
who exalt like that.
And they gave him the the the the
the the beautiful
and seek and and long for and look
for that which Allah
gave you in the afira, in the abode
of the afira, in the abode of the
hereafter.
Don't be so deluded and and intoxicated with
what Allah has given you over here. Rather,
if you wanna put your hopes and dreams
in something, put your hopes and dreams in
the abode of the
akhirah.
And don't forget what your portion of world
is. Now this is like one of the
most, like, Madloom, like, ayat of the Quran.
The Quran is protected from tahrif in the
sense that nobody will be able to change
the wording or lettering of it. Allah Ta'ala
will preserve it. Anyone who tries doing things
like that would be caught, and it will
not
they will not be able to change the
text of the Quran.
But the tahrif of of of interpretation is
something that, you know, that's like a cottage
industry. There are many
people who do it and make money out
of it and make great influence out of
it, and they become big, and very famous
televangelists.
The interpretation of this hadith
doesn't mean, okay, you know, you know, put
all your hosts in the akhirah and
also, you know,
you know, don't forget your naseeb of this
dunya. So, like, you know, invest your money
wisely in the stock market and, like, you
know, I have this great portfolio for you
and this that's not what it means
to balance the dunya and the akhirah.
You don't balance the dunya and the akhirah.
The dunya lasts for a small amount of
time. It's 2 days. You know, if you're
happy, say
If you're not, the good news is we'll
be all gone sooner rather than later. Sooner
rather than later, all of us will be
gone. We'll be in the graves. There'll be
other people who think they're just as cool
as we think we are right now, and
they won't remember us and we'll be like,
look. See, we were like that to one
time. That's how it is. Nobody lasts forever
in this world. Nobody even lasts a very
long time in this world. So what does
it mean? Right? Obviously, the sunnah of the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam is you gotta handle
your business in this world.
You gotta handle your business. You gotta feed
your wife. You gotta pay your rent. You
have to, you know, get get it get
it get your act together enough that you're
able to,
take care of all of your responsibilities that
you have and that you're able to, also
spiritually grow. But after that, there's no balance.
You don't see the Sahaba
on whom that they would 6 months of
the year, they would serve the dean, and
6 months of the year, they would go
to medical school. It doesn't work that way.
The ones of them who had a dunya
with profession, they would do it, and the
ones that didn't, wouldn't, and the ones that
had, you know they would just do their
things like they needed to, and then after
that, they would devote whatever else they had
to their spiritual progress. And if you look
in the tafsir of this ayah,
the tafsir is what? Don't forget your portion
of this world, meaning your kafan.
Right? The kafan is the the the white
shroud that, you know, doctor Khaled Sadiq will
cut for you one day.
Right?
That's your naseeb from the dunya. That's all
you're gonna take with you.
They're kept in the closet back there. If
you want, I can show them to you.
Okay? That's what your naseeb from the dunya
is. It doesn't matter if you went to
Harvard or you, you know, don't know how
to read or whatever. That's your naseeb from
the dunya. That's what you're gonna take with
you. Remember that. You know, one day that
the Benz, you're not gonna take it with
you. That
house, you're not gonna take it with you.
The computer you wanted, you're not gonna take
it with you. The shoes that you, you
know, like that that are like the whatever
so and so basketball player are playing and
that you're not going to leave leave your
parents alone and tell you, buy them or
that vacation or that this, that. And you're
not gonna take any of it with you.
You're not gonna take any of it with
even if you did, what would you do
with it?
Right? You'd be in the grave. You're like,
I'm dead. I can't even use this. Like,
you'll you'll see it. It'll be there. Maybe
it'll you'll be like, this is stupid. The
angels are gonna, like, you know, the angels
are gonna break my legs because of this.
They're gonna be like, you asked for this?
Oh, that does that's not how it works
over here, homie. That's not the system that
that that that that's not how we roll
on this side. That's not how it works
on this side.
And so what is it? It doesn't mean
it doesn't no. What it means is what?
Remember,
don't ever forget. That's all you're taking with
you. That's all you got. You don't got
anything else.
Allah knows best. You know? People have all
kinds of funny stories that they tell, or
they say about Alexander the great. They said
that
one of his wasaiah that when he dies
is that when he's buried, he should be
buried with his hands sticking out of the
kef and out of the shroud
so that everyone can see that despite the
fact that he conquered this great world empire,
that when he's buried,
he's gonna take nothing with him.
He's gonna take nothing with him. So
don't forget what your
what your portion is,
from the dunya.
And be good to others as Allah Ta'ala
was good for you.
And don't seek out to spoil things in
the land.
Because Allah Ta'ala really, he doesn't love the
people of facade, the people who spoil things.
He said he he said when given this
that he said, all the stuff I have,
I have it because of because I'm so
smart, because of all the knowledge I have.
This is what they say. Right? Oh, I
built myself. I built myself. I pulled myself
up from the bootstraps, and I built myself.
Your daddy was rich. Gave you a lot
of money when he died. I forgot to
I I forgot to mention that. Right? I
forgot to mention that. Okay. Fine. Someone is
a, quote, unquote, self made millionaire. Right? Where
where did all the infrastructure come from? Where
did the the infrastructure of the state come
from? This country is, like, built on the
labor of slaves. This country is built on
the blood of of of Native Americans
that were were were treacherously,
evicted from their land. I mean, all of
us, there is something from that we were
given and there's something from that we were
given. Nobody builds themselves as nobody is self
made billionaire or
millionaire. Even if you are in the middle
of the jungle and you construct, like, the
most amazing city all on your own, which
you're not gonna be able to do, but
even if you did it, what did you
are you the one who, like, said and
made the plants appear? Are you the one
who said
made the the the the oxygen appear? You
didn't even make yourself much less any of
the things that you needed in order to,
in order to,
in order to prosper. So we all need
to be a little bit honest with ourselves
for a second. You know? We all need
to be a little bit more humble about
it before we talk about how I'm, like,
a self made person and I, you know
and it's not like we're, you know, dogging
out Americans. Many of our immigrant community are
filled with people like that also. Yeah. I
came to this country with, you know, only
$100 in my pocket, and I made my
oh, you forget to mention that you came
from a patrician family back home of land
owners, and you were, like, one of the
point 1 percent of your, people that were
given an education and this, that, and even
if you didn't have any of those things.
Right? Allah gave you a a a mind
and a body that worked for long enough
in order for you to be able to
make it. Not everybody has those things. People
sometimes they cannot relate to the poor or
they cannot sympathize with the poor. They cannot
sympathize with people in need. I mean,
one thing is to give something to everybody.
Obviously, nobody can fund the entire world out
of their own pocket. At least you should
some try try to sympathize. If someone asks
you for something, you should give them a
dua instead of being like, oh, this lazy
person. You know, people like this a ruined
country, blah blah blah, you know, wherever you
go. So he said, what?
No. All I have is nothing except for
because how smart I am, because how much
knowledge I have.
Allah asked the question,
Doesn't he know that Allah
has utterly destroyed
people's generations
and centuries of people who came before him,
generations of people who came before him, who
were even stronger than he was and even
more more harsh in their power, and even
had more,
wealth than he does.
That they they're not even asked, like, you
know, we didn't ask them, permission or whatever.
When a criminal is punished, he doesn't even
ask them, you know, what did you do
or why did you do it? The the
guilty verdict has already come down. He did
what he did.
So Karun in this state, he comes out
in in in front of
his people, and his beauty, the beauty of
his wealth and how big his family is
and the spectacle of people carrying the keys
and all of this other stuff that's mentioned.
So he goes out in front of the
people like that, and there's one is the
primary mujidim, one is the primary,
criminal, and then there are secondary criminals. The
secondary criminals are the ones who see the
primary primary criminals,
and instead of saying
that a person should,
revolt against Allah
system or his hookm.
Instead of saying that, what do they say?
Oh, I wish I was like that too.
You know, if I was if I was,
you know, whatever, dealing drugs or selling alcohol
or dealing in riba or, you know, a
tough guy that ripped off people, I would
be a big shot as well.
Right? So these are secondary criminals that they
they don't even have the money, but they're
still participating in the sin. They don't even
enjoy the benefit. They're participating in the sin.
They see him leave, his home and go
out in front of the entire kom in
his in his,
exterior beauty. And and and those people who
wished for the life of this world, then
they said, woe is us. We wish that
we had the likeness or the likes of
that which Karun was given. Verily, he possesses
a great portion.
The people of knowledge said what? They said,
They said to encurse a curse on you.
Right?
Damn you for saying this stupid thing that
you said. They said they said
what? Damn you for saying this thing that
you said.
The the reward of Allah is better than
all of this pomp and show and arrogance
that Karun is pumping up in front of
the people.
It's better for those people who believe in
Allah and do good works, and no one
will be able to,
attain it except for the people of patience.
And this is the punishment that Karun received
is that Allah caused the earth to open
up and to swallow him and to swallow
all of his treasures and to swallow his
dwelling pay place.
It says that it says that so Allah
tells us that we caused the earth to
swallow him up and his abode up,
and there was nobody. He had no group
of people that were there to help him
nor was he himself one of the people
who was helped.
They said, oh,
you know, literally, wake Anna is is there's,
like, a long tree track. It's kind of
an interesting word of what does,
what does it what does it mean? But
it's, again, a curse. You say, it's literally
like someone says that. It's just like someone
says, damn it. Allah ta'ala,
he,
spreads out his risk for whoever,
he wishes from his slaves and whoever he
meets off,
that as a portion for them. If it
wasn't for Allah ta'ala, his kindness on us,
we would have been in his place and
gotten swallowed up by the earth instead of
him.
It says that it says, it is again
a curse.
Indeed,
Allah ta'ala, the the the situation with him
is that a person of growth and gratitude
and a person of disbelief will never be
successful.
And then Allah
which we we we read before.
You mind putting it back. Thank you so
much.
It's a really, beautiful it's a very beautiful
hadith, and it's one of the usuls, one
of the foundations upon which deen is based.
Proper deen is based. Not the deen of
sloganeering and chanting, but the deen that's going
to be accepted one day by Allah Ta'ala,
by his father. Narrated by Sayedna Abdullah bin,
mister Udur radiAllahu ta'ala anhu from the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam that he said, none
shall enter Jannah
who have even a,
mustard seed worth of of arrogance inside their
heart.
Allah protect us and Allah forgive us and
Allah change our hearts for the better and
clear whatever is in there from all of
these all of these things. It's not easy.
I mean, it should really concern a person.
A person has any kibr means what? You
look at any other person and think I'm
better than that person, or you think you're
better than than than what Allah's decree is
or all of these. These things will all
systematically disbar a person from entering Jannah. In
fact, kibr is the opposite of of iman.
In fact, kibr is is is is something
that is a corollary of Kufr. In fact,
if there were, you know, we don't obviously
believe in the concept of original sin like
the Christians and Jews do, but if there
were an original sense in the literal sense
an original sin in the literal sense, meaning
what's the first
disobedience or maasiya of Allah ta'ala that ever
happened? It would be kibber. It would be
arrogance. When shaitan
was commanded to humble himself and submit himself
before Sayidna Adam Alayhi Salaam, and he said
I am better than than he is. You
created me from fire, and he created him
from from from dirt.
That's the original sin from which all of
this other sin and murder and violence and
corruption
and and fornication and drunkenness and intoxication
and lying and cheating and stealing, people hurting
one another,
people people, being unfair with one another, people
killing one another. All of these other sins,
the seed of it was all in arrogance.
If it wasn't for arrogance, none of the
other sins would have been possible.
That's why when we what do we talk
about when we talk about a profligate, a
sinner?
There there's a difference between,
a huge a person who commits a sin
and a person who's a fasit. We don't
call everyone who commits a sin a fasit.
Why? Because some people commit sins out of
ignorance because they didn't know better. Some people
commit sins out of,
out of, jahil or out of
ignorance. Some people commit sins out of passion.
Why? They don't have self control over themselves.
And so they they they do something. They
put themselves in a position where they're compromised,
and they do something that they don't
they're not proud of, that they're ashamed of,
and they ask Allah for forgiveness for us.
The person who is a sinner is the
one who sins openly and who doesn't feel
bad about it. Doesn't feel bad about it
or at least doesn't try to cover it
up or hide hide it. And what is
that person? Those are the people who always
oppose the din. There are 2 types of
people who oppose the din. One is a
person who is
a total moron. Somebody who doesn't understand. You
know, there's some people yeah. I think that,
what America needs is Coca Cola coming out
of every water fountain. Okay. That's okay, buddy.
That's that's enough for you. Okay, buddy? That's
enough, buddy. That's it. But end of the
end of the line at Dunkin' Donuts for
you. No more you need to calm down
and just, you know, just take a back
seat. You know? We'll take care of you.
There are people like that. The second group
of people who obstruct the din from
from from from being implemented is Fasak.
Right? They're they're they're they're people who love
sin,
and they're different from the first group of
people. The first group of people are morons.
The second group of people are the people
who love to commit zina, but if you
commit zina with their sister or with their
mother, they'll be offended.
They're the people who love to steal from
other people. If you steal from them, they'll
feel like an injustice happened to them. They're
people who who harm other people in order
to get what they want, but if you
try to harm him, they'll they'll call this
as an an injustice.
The world is absolutely filled with these type
of hypocritical people. It's absolutely filled with these
type both political parties are filled with people
like this.
They're they're good in prosecuting justice against other
people, but they're horrible when it comes to
they themselves, like, evaluating what they do. So
they'll say, well,
Aasas and Al Qaeda, we hate them, and
we're gonna fight against them and they're the
evil in the world and whatever, and they
kill people mercilessly.
And they forget the fact that the votes
that they, you know, put into the into
the house and into the senate are the
ones who killed, like, you know, a 100
times the number of people that these groups
killed.
We just test all of the above mentioned
actions. Right? They're the people who are,
people who,
they they they, you know, they don't understand
what's good for the goose is good for
the gander. And what is the origin of
that? It's kibber.
Thinking I'm one thing, I deserve one thing,
and everybody else's garbage in front of me,
they deserve something else that's lower than what
I deserve. If this thought can be perished
from the hearts of people,
then
the the the category of fasak, they I
won't say disappear,
but they will be much more, malleable and
controllable.
They will themselves be able to control the
evil that comes from their hearts and that
comes from their limbs. But as long as
this is the Tony, this is the dog
that's rotting inside the well, it doesn't matter
how many buckets of water you pull out,
the well is still gonna bring out bring
out a stench, and it will bring out
rot. This is the one, like, basic
misunderstanding
that these people have. May Allah protect us
that that even we we went ourselves, we
come in zulum on one another because Muslims
are not immune to sin, unfortunately.
This is this is like the basic misunderstanding
that we have that allows us to be
able to do these types of things. It's
everything. It's in every single thing. Literally, it's
a hadith of the prophet
that there's a man who a young man
who came to the prophet
and he wanted to accept Islam, but he
said I'll accept Islam in a condition.
And the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam said, what's your condition? He says, I
want you to give me permission that I
can commit zina. And the messenger of Allah
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, he said, I can't
give you that permission.
But he said, you know, do you have
a mother?
He says, yes. Do you have a sister?
He said, yes. So would you like somebody
to commit zina with your mother and your
sister? And he says no. Of course, I
I wouldn't like it. And so he said,
well, you know, whoever you commit zina with
is the mother of somebody else and the
sister of somebody else, you know? And you
mentioned this to people. There's some guys you
know, some some people, you know, they're like,
they're playas, you know, I'm a playa, you
know, I did this and I did that,
and they talk about women as if they're
not human beings. I remember I used to,
you know, work with people like that. I
used to sell shoes,
and so I'm like you know, he was
boasting about something bad that he did, and
I said, oh, man. That's, like, so bad.
You know? That's like somebody's mother, man, that
you're talking about.
He said, shut up, man. Don't say that,
man.
It doesn't feel good, like, when you mentioned
that.
Of course, it doesn't feel good, but it's
reality. You understand what I'm saying? That that
kind of reality check will bring a person
back into,
back into
back into some sense of of being able
to behave like a a a human being
rather than behaving like an animal or behaving
like a behaving like a fasik. And all
of it has to do with what? Not
looking at other people as detestable or as
people that are to be used or abused
or thrown away whereas your play thing rather
looking at people as equals. In fact, not
even as equals as people who are better
than you and and and people who deserve
respect and, like, what you want for yourself,
you should give to them. In fact, you
should give something better to them because if
you give something better to them in this
world, Allah will give you something better in
the hereafter. Allah is the one who balances
all of the the the the the the
the the the accounts. On the day of
judgment, if you give better to other people,
Allah will will will reward it.
So this is the the reality of what
Allah, his messenger salallahu alaihi wasallam is saying
that nobody will enter Jannah that even has
like a small seed or grain worth of
kibr or arrogance inside of their his heart.
And so you say, like, well, what does
that mean that, like, people who have that
are are are believers
will not enter Jannah? No. The unfortunate fact
is that a person, if they cannot get
rid of it by that point,
it will be burned. It will be burned
in the fire. A person will be humiliated
efficiently in the fire that when they come
out of it, they'll they'll be the most
humble person in the world. They won't have
any any kibber left in them. May
Allah protect us from from what we deserve.
May Allah Ta'ala. You know, there's an easy
way of doing things and a hard way
of doing things. We're weak people
and, we we just, you know, we don't
wanna go through that. So you Allah, give
us being able to do things the easy
way, and do things with us the easy
way, the lesson we can learn the easy
way. Give give it to us the easy
way, and if you wrote in your that
we have to do something the hard way,
then at then give us the and the
patience to be able to get through it
with our iman in tact. And don't punish
us from the fire, save us from the
fire, and let us into Jannah without hissaab.
We admit all of us right now that
that that we don't have anything to be
arrogant about in the first place. We humble
ourselves in front of you. Please accept it
from us,
And so he said, salallahu so so so
the Nabi
said what he said, and the man who
was in the audience, he said,
he said, what do you say about a
man who,
loves to loves that his he should wear
nice looking clothes,
and he loves that he should wear nice
looking sandals?
Right? Is that arrogance? Some, you know, people
have that. They like to they like to
wear nice clothes,
and they like to look nice, present make
themselves presentable. Is that also kibir yalasulah? Is
that also,
arrogance? And the prophet gives such a, like,
amazing answer. He says he
says, Indeed Allah Taal is beautiful
and Allah loves beauty. So this is not
this is not what kibr is, to dress
better than other people.
This is not what kibr is to dress
better than other people. Rather, Nabi says that
the kibr that that's mentioned,
in this saying is 2 things.
Kibir is what? It's in 2 things. 1
is
when someone tells you the truth or tells
you a piece of the Haqq,
that you should push it away or you
should just dismiss it because of the person
who's telling it to you.
So
imagine, you know, if a person, you know,
is
a person is a drunkard and, you know,
you're about to eat something and he says,
oh, you know, there's like they use wine
as an ingredient in that sauce. So you
idiot your drunkard, get lost. Who are you
to tell me what to do? Right? Who
are you to tell me what to do?
You drink every day and you're telling me
no. No. No. No. It's not about him.
It's not about who that person is. That
person is responsible for their person. You're not
responsible for telling them who they are or
where they're going or whatever.
If a person gives you a piece of
the Haqqi, even if it's the person is
not even a Muslim, even if it's a
child, even if it's a person who is,
like, legally,
insane,
when the Haqq comes to you, you have
to submit to it because the Haqq is
a sifa of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
You know, you have to submit to you
don't have to submit to the person,
and sometimes in some cases, it's actually better
not to. But,
but when someone says something good to you,
don't push them away and be like, who
are you to tell me what to do?
Rather accept accept what they have to say.
And in that way, you know, many people
can learn many things from many people.
The other the other the other description of
kibr that the prophet
gave of arrogance is what?
And to, like, you know, despise people to,
you know, think that people are despicable,
to think that that people are are are
are just like, you know,
low be beings of of very little
value.
May Allah, may Allah protect us from all
of these things. We look at other people
and we see there's a potential in this
person of universal good, and Allah Ta'ala didn't
give them la ilaha illallah
because he loved them. And even if they
don't
have maybe Allah will give it to him
one day, and that person will outshine all
of us.
Muslim.
So
is from the
Sahaba
He's like one of the, like, the the
heroes of the Ansar.
He's like a he's a very,
a a very powerful
warrior.
He was like, he was in battle. He
was,
you know, he was a champion of the
of the Muslims
and a champion of the Ansar, radiAllahu ta'ala
Anhu Ajma'in. There is a case where,
there was a cattle raid. Raiders tried to
raid some of the livestock of the people
of Madinah,
and he found out about it. And and
they the, assailants were leaving mounted on, on
animals,
and he chased after them on foot. And
while running at full speed with a bow
and arrow, he took them all out,
which is no small feat. It's it's narrated
in the, in the. I forget which book
it's narrated in, but
is one of the heroes of the Muslims.
They're, you know, the his exploits in battle
are many. You can look it up one
day in the Usudul Khabar or in Istiag
or in one of the books, the Sahaba
biographies
of radhiallahu ta'ala on him.
So he narrates that a man once ate,
at the same
sitting with the messenger of Allah
with his left hand. And so the messenger
of Allah
politely reminded him to eat with his right.
He told him, eat with your right. And
he says, oh,
I'm not able to. So the prophet says,
and and so says that
he said that I'm not able to. So
the prophet said, may you never be able
to. And, the reason he said that is
what? Not because the guy was left handed,
but because the only reason he made this
excuse up for himself he's too arrogant to
accept the Haqq from the Messenger of Allah
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. So the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam uttered this curse on him,
and, because of which, Salmat Ibnu Akwa narrates,
and and comments that that person, his hand
was he wasn't able to raise his hand
after that,
up to his mouth ever again.
And so, this is a hadith that it's
it's a repeat,
not from from our reading over here, but
I started from the middle because I was
reading this book, in different places in America.
And so we started off where, you know,
I continued where I left off. So in
a previous in a previous,
chapter,
the same hadith is narrated from Hadith Atumnu
Wahb. The, may Allah Ta'ala be pleased with
him that said that I heard the messenger
of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam say, nay,
indeed, shall I not,
shall I not inform you,
about who the people of the fire are?
Shall I not
inform you
about who the,
people of the fire are?
And,
and then,
he informs them, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
is who? Khalib
Jaf is a person who's harsh and a
person who,
I should say,
is a person who is harsh and who
is,
a person who is, like, very disrespectful to
other people.
And then, Jawad,
Jawad al Hu,
manoonjamoo'un,
a person who,
gathers wealth,
and is is is,
very,
stingy and miserly in gathering wealth, But if
anyone else asks anything from him, he's the
quickest to say, no. I'm not gonna give
you anything. Get lost.
And then the last, trait is what? Mustakbir,
a person who thinks that he's he's like
a big deal. May Allah protect us and
take out all of these, out of all
of these sifaats from our hearts.
I guess there's no overriding the other.
Yeah. Yeah, man. Help him out, bro.
Yeah. Hey, man. You gotta help us. Sometimes
old old folks, man, they have they they
needed help with technology, man.
Right. Sayid Abu Sa'id al Fadir radiAllahu ta'ala
anhu, he narrates a very, interesting hadith that
the Jannah and and and Jahannam, they got
into an argument one time.
Jahannam and Jahannam
got into an argument one time.
And so Jahannam says, I'm better than you
because all the big shots will be here.
Right? All the all the all the all
the powerful people and all the arrogant people,
all the tyrants,
I got all of them.
And, Jannah's like, well, I I guess I
only have all the weak people and all
the, you know, all the poor people that
Huwinte is a pitiful people that everyone feels
sorry for. And so Allah Ta'ala,
Allah Ta'ala, he judges between them, and he
says to Jannah, Innekil Jannah. He said, you
verily you are Jannah. You are my my
mercy. It's interesting both Jannah and Jahannam have
the feminine gender in the Arabic language. I'm
not saying nothing, but you know what I
mean? It is interesting.
That he says that,
That verily, you're my Jannah, and you're my
my mercy, and I have mercy
through you upon whoever I wish to. And
and then he
says
that that verily you are my fire. You're
you're you you the fire, you are my
torment, and I torment through you whoever I
wish to. And he says that it's my
it's my responsibility
to fill both of you up.
May Allah be our protection from being from
the the fill of jahannan
that Allah will not look at in the
day of judgment, Allah will not look at
the person
who used to drag his, Izzar, his lower
garment.
Meaning what? Meaning below below his ankles. He
used to drag his lower garment below his
ankles or on the on the ground.
What out of batar, out of out of,
arrogance.
Now this is an interesting hadith,
in the sense that it's a sunnah. It's
a sunnah of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam. It's makru too at the bare minimum.
Some of the ulama says haram. And and
honestly, you know, as far as as far
as I can tell,
that's probably, in my opinion, and, you know,
there it's it is a difference of opinion,
so that's why I don't hammer people about
it. But it is something that that that
we should take heed of, that a person
shouldn't
drag their lower garment below their ankles.
For the very least of reasons is what?
It's dirty.
You're you you know, you go to the
bathroom and you go to all these different
places, and you'll pick up najasa
under your clothes. If you do that, you'll
pick up and it will invalidate your prayers,
and it will,
invalidate your your your prayers, and it will
bring all of that into the masjid and
things like that. People should be very sensitive
about
And now that's the first haditha.
Verily Allah doesn't
accept a prayer without purification, without purity, and
Allah doesn't accept,
just like he doesn't accept sadaqa from stolen
money.
So to pray your prayer without being clean,
both in terms of your your,
the both in terms of your having wudu,
and it's also in terms of being clean
in your body and clean in the place
of prayer and clean in your clothing.
Just like just like Allah will not accept
sadaqa
from ill gotten money. Right? If you rob
the bank and then you go and, you
know, donate, raise your hand for $10,000 at
the MEGR fundraiser at the in the gym
or whatever, and people attack, you're not gonna
no. There's no
for you, buddy. That's, you're it's not gonna
be accepted. Just like that, the prayer is
not gonna be accepted. And I don't know
why it is people understand the second one
nowadays.
Maybe because money is important and Ibadah isn't.
I don't know why it is. People understand
why the donation from stolen money is, like,
not gonna be accepted. But for some reason,
when it's prayer, it's like, yo, man, you
you didn't do your wudu properly. I see,
like, a big dry spot on your heel,
like, this big. Listen, brother. Allah knows my
intention. Okay, brother? You don't need to judge
me. I'm not judging you, bro. I'm just
trying to help you out with your salat,
you know? No. Okay, brother. That's enough that's
enough that's enough for you. Okay? They seem
to like copy if somebody points something out
like that to you, just be like, yeah.
Thanks, man, and just wipe it over. What
if you already wiped it over and you
know it and you just do it again?
What's the problem about it? It's a hadith
of the prophet
whoever gives up an argument,
for the sake of Allah. Allah will build
him a a a house on the edge
of Jannah. Whoever gives up an argument for
the sake of Allah in their right,
Allah will build from a house in the
middle of Jannah. There's nothing wrong with that.
I mean, if you're like if you think
you're better than everyone else, then you might
be like, oh, I'm not gonna admit I'm
wrong because then people won't know how awesome
I am. But if you don't if you're
not arrogant and you don't you're not cared
about you don't care about what your status
is in front of
people, then, you know, why don't you just
be like, yeah. Okay. Yeah. Sure. I'll wipe
over it again. No problem. No no problem.
You know?
No problem.
No problem.
So this whole thing about dragging your
garments below, and that's
the the the primary reason is that for
for it to be
forbidden is that. That's the primary reason it's
a
bad thing to do. It's a wrong thing
to do. And so the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam, he mentions what? He mentions that
whoever
drags it. Second thing is that it was
but that's the reason that it's even an
issue that has to be commented on is
what? The people of Jahiliya used to do
that. They used to wear clothes that were
too long,
and, it was a sign that they're rich
because cloth used to be really expensive.
In the old days, poor meant
being poor meant being hungry and being naked.
Right? So it's a description of Jannah. Nobody
will be hungry there. No one will be
naked
because there'll be enough for everybody. And so
if you're, like, rich, you wore clothes that
were, like, way too long
in in order to show people how, like,
rich you were and how much of a
baller you were.
And so that was also a secondary problem
with having your Izaar too long, which is
what? Is that it's,
you know, it's a sign of takabur. It's
a sign of batar. It's a sign of
arrogance.
And so the Nabi says,
this is a a
a
a cultural
trait of Muslims is that Muslims never
traditionally, or at least the pious amongst the
Muslims, traditionally never used to wear their,
lower garment, whatever it is, as an Izaar
like I'm wearing right now, or as as
pants,
that that that, you know, most of the
people are are wearing right now.
They never used to, let them drag below
the ankles.
They never used to drag let them drag
below the ankles. Now people do it, and
people traditionally did. Some people who are not
so concerned with the deen. We shouldn't do
that. Right? If it's Makru, Makru means something
detestable or hateful. Who's doing the hating? Allah.
If Allah hates it, then what's the point?
You know, it may as well be haram
if Allah hates it. So, you know, don't
just, you know, don't do it. Say, okay.
Well, my pants are you roll up the
kafs or whatever,
if you're able to. But, you know, and
if you're not able to do anything about
it, well, you're not able to do anything
about it. But if you're able to, a
person should do that. You know, if they're
reminded about it, they shouldn't,
they shouldn't they shouldn't
they shouldn't show arrogance.
At any rate, you know, the prophet
whoever
resembles a people, then he's amongst them. And
generally speaking, this hadith is only quoted in
its negative meaning
that if you look like evil people, then
you'll be one of them. I've I very
seldom if ever heard anyone quoted in the
positive meaning, and the positive meaning is what?
If you look like good people, Allah will
count you amongst them. It's good. If you
look like pious people and things like that,
then you have, like, you know, the bad
company that you might have kept before. They
may pass you up. There's a lot of
khair and a benefit in it. People say,
brother, I keep my Islam inside my heart.
You should keep it in your heart. That's
amazing. That's wonderful. That's between you and Allah.
You didn't even even don't even have to
mention that to me. You know? But Islam
is what? It's both inside and out. It's
balanced in both of them. Right? We don't
say what's render unto Caesar, what is Caesar's,
and render unto God what is God's. Allah
belongs to him everything, and Caesar belongs to
him, and everything belongs to him. There's no
demarcation in that sense.
So a person should a person should do
that. It should make them happy that they,
follow and imitate the ways of the pious.
And
so the prophet said,
Allah ta'ala on the day of judgment will
not look at the person.
Meaning what? Allah ta'ala will not give that
person,
an opportunity to plead, for mercy or try
to excuse themselves. And who is the one
he won't look at? The one who in
this in this life used to drag his,
drag his lower garment out of arrogance.
This is like one of the most classic
things like I ever heard. There are some
people who'd be like, hey, brother. You know,
don't you know the hadith of the prophet
you know? It's disliked raham, difference of opinion
again amongst the ulama. That's why we don't
beat beat each other up about it. But
didn't you know about the hadith in which
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam disapproved of
this action? They said, that's if someone's doing
it out of arrogance. I'm not doing it
out of arrogance. So, like, get lost.
Okay. You probably weren't doing it out of
arrogance 5 minutes ago. Once you said that,
it became arrogance. Because somebody told you a
sunnah and you're like
getting upset about it for some reason. Usually,
Yeah. You're right. It's the sunnah of the
Prophet
That should mean something to you. If you
don't change your behavior, at least it should
mean something to you. You know? You shouldn't
be, like, you know,
go on, go on, like, you know, defense
mechanism mode or, you know, whatever, stand your
ground law and, you know, you know that
you could you shouldn't go into that mode.
It's just accept it. It's the sunnah of
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. The very
mention of it, Nabi salallahu alaihi wa sallam
should cause iman to reenter the hearts of
every one of the believers if it had
left. It should not be an occasion to
become angry at people and to give them
a hard time. I think that's enough for
today. We have to give the adhan and
whatnot. Are there any questions?
I'm sorry. I I doubt the southern accent
today. I didn't mean to Keep going on
at all. My shot. What you what you
were talking about,
Mississippi.
