reliable Alameen wa salatu salam ala Muhammad, Allah al Amin, Sina
Milena, Muhammad Ali, who are early on those Salah to attend
with the swim. May Allah Subhana Allah bless you and your families
and give you generally for those who are mean Welcome to another
episode of saviors of Islam where every night we look at an icon
from Islamic history that left a beautiful legacy behind tonight is
one of my favorite and most inspirational. This individual has
really left a beautiful legacy behind and was very transformative
hearing the story was very transformative in my youth. I
remember actually it was my uncle, who sat down with me. And he and
he shared a beautiful lesson from the story of always economy. So
what's the story of voice economy and why is he such a beautiful
character? And why did he leave a beautiful legacy behind? I want
you to imagine one day the Prophet Mohammed Salah Salem was sitting
with his companions Allahumma Salli wa Sallim wa Barik Allah, so
you didn't know have you been on Mohammed Ali who are the early of
those Salah to attend with the slim. And while he's speaking to
the Companions, he reminds them, there is going to be an individual
that will walk in now to the masjid. And this individual is
going to be from the people that Allah Subhana Allah is purified,
and elevated and chosen and honored. And so all the companions
are excited, who is it going to be? Is it going to be Abu Bakar?
Is it going to be or Omar? Is it going to growth man is it going to
be Ali, who is this individual, and a man walks into the masjid
that was not known to the people. Unknown to the people didn't wear
the most celebrator of clothing, the fanciest of clothing didn't
really stand out much. But there was something beautiful about this
individual's life that Allah subhanaw taala selected, it was a
secret nobody knew you couldn't just look at the person and figure
it out. And so the campaign is asked Rasulullah sallallahu what
is what is the secret give us an example like what makes somebody
get to that level. And so he told them one day, a person, a man will
walk into Medina or Mecca will come to you. And this individual
is so close to Allah subhanaw taala that if he were to ask for
something low Appa center, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah Allah, if you
were to ask Allah Subhana Allah for anything, Allah Subhana Allah
will give it to him. He's from one of the unknowns unknown to the
people in this earth, known to the angels and the people that are the
beings in heaven. And Allah subhanaw taala loves this person
so much, that whatever they ask, Allah will give it to them. So the
Aussie metal suit Allah, what's the secret? Why did this person
get so close to Allah subhana Dawn, he said, he has a mother
level were a leader, who about who wouldn't be happy.
He has a mother. And he is diligent in the way that he treats
her with love and with respect. The story of the waste of money is
a beautiful one. He was in Yemen when an abuse of our cell in Santa
Elena Vitaly to teach the people of Yemen about Islam. So he's
listening to Islam, and he's learning about Islam. And he's
inspired and he becomes a Muslim. He's one of the earliest converts
to Islam. And he's in Yemen. And he's from the family of cotton
from the tribe of cotton. That's why it's called always elkaar ni.
Now what's amazing is when he becomes a Muslim, he makes the
intention is intention is to go and to join the use of Allah,
Allah Salam, and become one of his companions, become one of his
companions. But he doesn't want to go yet because he has a mother
that depends on him.
So he keeps saying, you know, I want to get the edge of sitting I
want to get the reward and the privilege and the blessing of
sitting and learning from rasool Allah Azza wa salam, but I'm not
going to go at the expense of my mother. I'm going to stay and take
care of her and he stays and he ends up taking care of his mother
for so long, that an abuser seldom passes away and he misses out.
In that way, Abu Bakr becomes the Khalifa, and he can't go either.
And it wasn't until the time of the role model that a waste of
money, ends up leaving Yemen and finally making his way to visit
Mecca Medina with the intention of performing hajj. Now, what's
amazing is an abuse of Salam before he passed away told the
Companions he told the likes of Omar and Abu Bakr and aliveness,
it's all about Abdullah, he told them that there is going to come a
day in which this man is going to come to you, Weiss from the family
have come from Yemen, when he comes to you, make sure that you
go to him and ask him to make dua for you and to ask Allah for
forgiveness on your behalf. Yeah, Allah.
You know, I want you to imagine just sit back for a second and let
this sink in. This is very powerful Allah it is very
powerful. How many of us would do anything to be from the companions
of the Prophet Muhammad Salah Salem
to be around alive when he's alive? To listen to him?
And, you know, looking at his face was down in itself was as a reason
for your demand to be increased. How many of us would would do
anything to sit there in the company of Rasulullah Sana, I'm
getting goosebumps, I'm just imagining this. And it's a big
blessing, a big blessing. But he chose a waste of company chose to
put his mother's needs ahead of that desire of his.
And he didn't have any guilt, doing so and didn't have any
resentment. And he didn't have any anxiety or stress or worry, while
doing so he embraced serving his mother who was blind. And the
story is beautiful. Because the night or a few nights before Ali
never thought it came to Yemen to invite people to Islam. A waste of
money was actually in the house, and the light went off, you know,
back then we had lamps, oil, the light went off, and his mother was
born. So she's used to navigating without the light, but he was
stuck. He's walking around, can't find his way. And his mother comes
and takes him by the hand. And she shows him the way. And so then
finally the when he meets Elena, we told him and he let me hear
some Quran, what is this Islam of yours, and he hears the words of
Allah subhanaw taala woman lemmya janilla, who Allah Who Samara
and whomever loss of habitat, it doesn't give light to the light of
insight, that the ability to see beyond the apparent the ability to
really read situations and people, whatever Allah Subhana Allah If
Allah doesn't give you that, You shall have no light. So you can
have all the lights in this world, the one that we perceive, you
know, the, the lamp in your house, the light that's you know, coming
from your screen, but that's not what's going to show you the way
that shows you some manifests apparent things that you can see,
but insight is a gift from Allah subhanaw taala.
As an imam Shafi says, check out our gear and so heavily I'm not
only be talking analyse walkabout only be and then maneuver on one,
Hula, hula, you Delia, I will say, I went to my teacher wiki, and I
complained about my inability to memorize to memorize so quickly
and now again. So he told me knowledge is a light, it's a gift
from Allah. And the divine light is not given to someone who's seen
it.
You know, you wonder why you can see, you wonder why your heart
isn't as soft as it used to be. You wonder why you're limited in
your patience, you're limited in your perseverance, you're
wondering why you're scattered all over the place. You're worried
about what people think in the anxiety and insecurity about what
others think of you. You're wondering why all of that is
there. Why there's no contentment, why there's no stability, why
there's no fulfillment, why there's no patience, why, you
know, you're scattered all over the place, because the light of
Allah subhana data hasn't settled. And you need to purify the
sources, purify or purify the vehicle through which the light of
Allah can enter, and the place where it's going to settle your
hearts. That means your eyes need to be purified. All of that needs
to be provided when it's purified, the light will settle in your
heart. So a waste of carbonate gave up that privilege to take
care of his mother. And finally, in the Philadelphia drama, he
makes his way to the hedge. And it was almost his habit that whenever
he went for hedge, or whenever you send somebody else for hedge, he
would ask them announce and ask if anybody has met the man named
always.
So finally, he makes the announcement himself. Is there
somebody among you from Yemen? Yes, there is somebody amongst you
from the family of yes, the tribe of cotton is right here. Is there
anybody amongst you named Weiss? Yes, he's here. So he goes up to
me he can't believe his eyes. He says, Who are you more you asking
about me? I am. What is asking about me? Why are you asking about
me? I'm even more meaning okay man of the believers. I'm asking about
you because in the view, Salah Salem, listen to the Hadith, and
the hadith is authentic. semirara To rasool Allah is Allah Allah
Allah said Lamia all I heard the Messenger of Allah peace and
blessings be upon him say yet Dr. Lai come ways even I'm not I'm
dead alila Yemen, there will come a day in which always will come to
you from Benny Iman and he will come with the people of Yemen.
MILCON can be badass. And I'm going to tell you specifically so
you know who he is. He had you know, leprosy or had a skin a skin
defilement of some sort. And February I mean who Allah subhanaw
taala granted he in healing it'll
accept one small like the the size of a digital home the size of a
coin. It's still there. And this is from the prophecies of
Rasulullah. Selim. It predicted this Antonio, you're going to come
and you're going to meet this man and that's how you know him.
Because it could be the case that there are multiple people with the
name multiple people from the family. Low where leader he has a
mother who about on behalf. He is dutiful and diligent in taking
care of her in loving her. Now UC Santa Ana Allah Hina
But if you were to ask Allah for anything,
Allah will give it to him, that he didn't stop it. And yes, don't
feel like fall, if you're able to ask him to make dua for you, and
to ask Allah to forgive you, then do it, because he's doing it
accepted. Now I want you to imagine
a waist lived this whole time, as one of the many people didn't
stand out, didn't know that Allah privileged them with this gift.
They didn't know that Allah selected him. They didn't know
that Allah chose him. And he's hearing this from the word of Omar
Abu hubub years later, Wallah he you will never know. And you can
never appreciate fully the gifts that Allah has prepared for you.
To all of those who work behind the scenes to all of those that
are unknown to the people. They're not the stars that have the
spotlight shone on their face. They're not the ones that pop up
on your Facebook feed and your telegram and your Instagram and
your Tik Tok, they're not those people that are going to pop up on
those feeds. They are the people that are you walked by it, just
another person, you don't give them attention. You don't ask for
their autograph, you don't care to give them an extra level of
respect, because you don't know their position.
To get I would respect them if I knew you don't know the you would
never be able to guess. But with Allah, they are stars. There are
legends, they are icons, they shine to the angels. The angels
humble themselves in their presence, because of their
sacrifice and because of the commitment and because of their
heart.
And so voices is emotional. I will miss lee. You had Rudy Miss Lika
I'm your nominee. How can someone like me ask Allah to forgive
someone like you? Yeah, I mean, I'm who I am. I'm not a nobody. I
am a nobody. You are them It should be me asking you to to ask
Him to forgive me. The humility of this man Yeah, Allah fell out of
town. I'm gonna so no fear the home in karate, I will just be
American, we are metal. Nobody will ever know what Allah has
prepared for them, hidden from their site, a blessed gift waiting
for them as a reward for the good that they used to do.
amado hubub says to him, make dua for me, my brother, he says, Oh
Allah, forgive me, and forgive all of my brothers, including Alma and
the companions that were available. And then Oh, my God, so
excited that from this day on, I refuse to let you go, you will
stay and live with me. And I will take care of you financially. And
I will make sure that you are respected, because there's no
other individual that is mentioned by name from Rasulullah. Salem,
and the least that we can do is honor that legacy. honor that
legacy of yours. He says, Yeah, I mean, I don't know many. Oh, I
mean, I mean, I don't mean to insult you, and I don't mean to
seem ungrateful to your beautiful offer. And I would love nothing
more about your company. But I am the type of person that thrives in
the shadows. I don't like to be in the forefront. And I'd like to be
known. I don't like the spotlight. I don't like the recognition. I
like to just be myself with Allah subhanaw taala and to cruise.
That's what I've been comfortable with. That's what I got used to.
And I'm not ready for that life. Where are you going to go? I just
want to go and settle somewhere Kufa let me send a letter to the
Emir of Koufos, we at least can treat you well and respect you,
and give you the position and respect that you deserve. Please
don't let me at least give you some. I really appreciate it. But
that's not what I'm here for.
So let me at least I have all that I need. I have a goat, that I
milk, food that I have enough money, and this cloak that I'm
wearing is strong enough that it will probably endure for the rest
of my life.
Islam doesn't teach us to be distant from dunya.
to divorce dunya I'm not asking all of you to be oasis. And Islam
doesn't ask us to be that. But Islam does teach us to honor every
individual that we come across because Allah He we don't know.
Who is close to Allah subhanaw taala and then there might be
somebody in the spotlight. That seems to be pious out word, they
are so inspirational. Their words are incredible.
I mean, a nursing manual Reggie Walker who will hire to dunya
where you should Allah Allah Matthew, lb O Allah, Hassan, from
the people that you come across, you will be so impressed with
their words.
And they say well law he I am such this and this I love Allah so I
love you for the sake of all they will say all of the you don't know
what their hearts conceal. What he that is awful. All the UFC that he
had, when he travels, she travels through the land, they will not
leave and in an injustice except that they do it. All kinds of
corruption they're involved in. It's hidden, you don't see it. And
others you look at them at word, they don't stand out. It's just
another guy. But with Allah, they're incredible. I want you to
imagine when an abuse of Allahu Allah was sending them
I heard about the caretaker, you know, the caretaker, the sticker,
the manager and they used to sell them. Nobody paid attention to
somebody didn't even know her name.
And if you sell them comes in, he doesn't find it for a few days in
a row. What happened to her? jasola She passed away and we
buried her. We didn't want to burden you, you're busy. He said,
How dare you
taking me to her grave and let me make dua for her.
She was dear to the Prophet Muhammad wa salam used to make dua
and it was salam. He says, Oh Allah, allow us to love the Fukada
and MSN IQ, those who are poor or those who are destitute those who
are locked in a socio economic level and they're not able to move
move you know, move themselves out of that limited position that
they're in
do we love people who are not known in the same way you know,
the first of people the earliest people to antigen are the poor, we
know the Hadith and the last people to antigen are the rich why
because the rich have so much that we have to be held accountable for
the audit is long. It's like imagine when you go to the
accountant and you have one line of income, your taxes are gonna be
done very quickly your audits going to be done quickly. But if
you have all kinds of lines of income and you have this and this
and assets and investments that you know coins of this kind and
gold and silver it's going to take a while
and so the earliest of people who antigen or the full color and most
importantly my brother my sister which I want to focus on here from
Weiss is the way that he was with his mother
the way that he was with his mother
You know, I want this to sink in
the owner let's say the biggest mostly but the biggest calamity
the hit our room. Let me ask you what's the biggest calamity type
it in? I'm not reading the chat now but I will lead read it later.
typing in the chat. What do you think the biggest calamity is the
hit this home? What is the biggest calamity? Is it a civil war? Is it
economic failure? What is what is the biggest calamity
that will ever see the biggest calamity to hit? This is the death
of an abuse alum I say why? Because while he's alive, we had
direct access to the divine. When we're considering options when we
want to make a decision. We have Revelation we have ALLAH SubhanA
wa Nikel Selim says aboubaker is in Jannah we know it's done.
servation Ahmad is in Jana, that people are better Allah Subhana
Allah has accepted them among the people of Jana confirmed and the
discussion you also love what what do we do this or that.
So the formation period of our religion is beautiful. That's the
most beautiful period and that's the time in which you have direct
access to Allah subhanaw taala commenting this is halal, this
haram avoid this Don't do that. This is the way things are going
to be.
And that's what Islam takes its form. Isn't that incredible? And
after that, what happens everything after that is based on
he has everything after that that is not limited to that is HD hurt.
So from then on, it becomes a matter of opinion it becomes a
matter of doing the best that we can but we will never be certain
except if it's clear based on the Quran, sunnah is clear. But those
areas have actually had those areas where we have to do the best
that we can, to extrapolate are beyond our capacity to be fully
certain about. That's why it's the biggest, most Liba but why is it
currently chose to be with his mother and to serve with the
service mother
and chose that.
Ahead of being the companion of Rasul Lawson and of being in his
presence. That's a that's a big deal. And Allah Subhana Allah
honored him because of that. Now, my brothers and my sisters, I want
us to just imagine together like I mentioned in sha Allah over the
weekend over Friday, Saturday, will make the Halacha a little bit
longer, five minutes just to you know, take more Inshallah, based
on the same topic, Allah subhanaw taala Listen, I want this to sink
in. What a lot of Boca Tabu in
your Lord has decreed that you don't worship anybody besides him.
He's the only one worthy of worship based on who he is.
What we learn in the unit
into your parents show excellence in Maya no one that can care about
a woman whom
when one of them or both of them reach old age fed a woman who
don't say
to them, do the dishes. Okay, fine. I'll do the dishes. What are
10? How to whom?
Don't show disrespect. Don't raise your voice.
Even a body language. Do this, okay. Okay. She's talking again.
So the body language the small little utterances, while hola whom
colon carry
and speak generously with them. And sometimes you see a child, a
son or use comes home. How do you do
so
Very little words will the same with their parents, but when
they're chilling with their friends don't want to give a whole
lecture. So why are we so stingy with their parents? With the
words? Why are we not generous with the quality and the quantity
of the words?
Allah Subhana Allah says, Well, Phil, Laguna, Jana has gone
well, beyond
any slightly, you know, and lower the wing of humanity, four, out of
mercy. What does that mean? You know, after a while, when you
grow, you become older, you become mature, you become independent,
I'm 18, I don't need you. I'm my own person, I have my own values.
I you have an accent, you don't understand my struggle, you're
just an old lady and old men. So Allah says, When you get to a
point what understood here from the eye, when you get to a point
where you're able to soar high and fly like a bird, you no longer
need your mother, you don't no longer need your father, you can
look down upon them. Because you're a bird that's free, you're
able to travel and soar high in the sky, Allah's when you get to
that moment, that's when you lower your wings, you start flying
out of humility for them. And you do so with Mercy emanating from
your heart. Why? Because you come to recognize, and that's where we
make the DUA, or rob Durham, whom I came out of there. And he said,
Oh, well, I have mercy upon them. As they raised me when I was
little,
what you know, your tongue, can imagine using your tongue to
insult the one who taught you to speak, you use your hand to hurt
the one who raised you with their hands.
Use your face, to show disrespect to the one whose wrinkles the
wrinkles on her face are mainly because of all those nights that
she stayed up to take care of you. And all that worry that she had.
Because of you.
Tomorrow, Subhan Allah we forget, we take things for granted. And
that's why Allah subhanaw taala elevated always of coordinate, I
find that in the few minutes that we have together, I want to share
with you some inspirational moments, from some of the
tambourine and Sahaba to really ascertain drive this point home,
you know, as radiation, he used to go to the, you know, back in the
desert, he used to go up high to you know, get some water and he
used to take this water and go up high, as close as possible to the
sun to warm it and finally bring it to his father. So you could
make all with it. And many times there will only be enough water
for the father to make will do and he would have to make will do with
water that is cold coming from you know, the under the ground. And
other sometimes the opposite. At night, they would go and they
would cool he would cooler water for his dad, so that his dad would
make will do and drink and only be enough for him. People ask him
why, you know, you could you could combine the water and have a
little bit and you don't have to give him everything. He said I
have I have nothing makes me happier than seeing my father
happy.
I'm fine I can do without it. You know, Muhammad didn't sit in, he
used to not eat from the same plates, you'd have a plate for him
and his mother, who would eat from separate plates, while he says I
don't want my mother to look at a piece of the dish and my hand
reaches it before her hand does. So I give her exactly what I have.
And sometimes more she has her in front of her and I don't want her
to you know, just want her to be completely comfortable and free
and happy. It was best when he was asked what's disrespect to the
mother. What is that, like? He said, I want you to imagine you
have dust on your clothes. And you first it off by accident. You dust
it. And the wind picks that dust towards your mother towards your
father said you should have a level of consciousness and
awareness for when you're dusting. You think about where the wind
might carry, you take a step back. And you don't do that in the
presence of your parents lowering, you know that they've been
companions, when they're spoke to their parents. They used to lower
their gaze out of respect out of respect for the parents. But where
is that level of respect. And of course, I always say this, just
like we have, you know, sometimes challenges with our children. We
also have challenges with our parents, of course, our personal
perfect, and we're not perfect, but let's create this sense of
love and respect. Let's put them in a position where they're
secure. Let's bring the best out of our parents by treating them
with respect. And of course, just like that, and it was taught us
you have to show respect to the old to the parents, and you have
to show mercy and kindness and understanding and sensitivity
towards our children. Place them in my layout is how like a beauty
net. What a semina min layer humps Ariana, we know this. May Allah
bless you and your family and division at photos in a time
Even which families are struggling, you know, all kinds of
anxieties, all kinds of mental health limitations and challenges.
With Corona come even an extra layer of difficulty and challenge.
Let's not break the bond of family.
Let's reach out, get up, get up now go to your mom, go to your
dad, kiss them. Ask them to make to say I'm sorry sometimes I
forget. But I love you. Despite the difference, pick up the phone
call and check up on them.
If you're not able to, because they've passed away, make too
often donate on their behalf. Make dua for them whatever they taught
you whatever fear is left behind. Continue to spread the internet.
May Allah Subhana Allah bless you bless your parents, from their
humble maxima or donessa. May Allah spread that have mercy upon
them, as they've raised us when they were little Xochimilco for
tuning in a lot of words and listening give agenda for those.
Please join us every night at 8:30pm for one of the saviors of
Islam ceremony.
