			Smilla Rahmanir Rahim Al hamdu
Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa Salatu
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:08
			was Salam ala Ashura, Fillmore
Celine, going on to some of the
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:13
			most beautiful stories in the
taverns lives. Al Imam Abu Hanifa
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:17
			May Allah subhanaw taala bless him
and have mercy on him was, again,
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:22
			neighboring one of the most
difficult people to deal with. His
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:26
			neighbor used to get drunk used to
get loud used to frustrate
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:29
			everybody around him. So one day
an Imam Abu Hanifa was sitting in
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:33
			his house expecting the loud
noises that usually came from his
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:37
			house at this time. But this is
surprised nothing came from his
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:41
			neighbor's house. So he went out
to inquire about his neighbor. And
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:44
			he found out that his neighbor
actually got arrested because of
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:48
			the excessive noise and the
annoyance he was causing everybody
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:53
			in the community. So an Imam Abu
Hanifa, didn't do what most of us
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:56
			would do. He didn't sit there
saying and hamdulillah I'm glad
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:59
			he's gone. And he's his jail. This
is such a great blessing moment
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:04
			for all of us. He didn't do that.
He actually went to the jail when
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:08
			to the cell asked to meet the
person to meet his neighbor and
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:13
			actually build him out, build him
out. Now, when the person came
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:17
			back, all Imam Abu Hanifa told him
is he just basically told him a
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:21
			tequila. Remember Allah be
conscious of Allah. Don't forget
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:25
			Allah. Now when this drunk
neighbor finally gained his
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:29
			consciousness, and when the moment
actually kicked into him, he came
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:33
			back to Imam Abu Hanifa and told
him, Listen, all of my friends
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
			that used to get drunk with me,
all of my friends that used to be
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:40
			very loud, not a single one of
them cared about me, in that
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:43
			moment of difficulty. Actually,
the most of them, were happy to
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:47
			see me behind bars and found it
very funny. But you are the only
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:51
			person who cared and remember it,
even though I showed you no care,
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:57
			no compassion, no kindness before.
Indeed, this marks true, truly a
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			beautiful character coming from
you. And it reminds me of the
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:02
			beautiful character of the Prophet
Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, and
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:06
			for that Wallahi I'm never
touching a bottle of alcohol
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:10
			again, he gave up and vowed to
give up alcohol from that moment.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:16
			Don't ever underestimate the
effect and the impact of a small
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:21
			act of kindness and do it for the
sake of Allah. And that in itself
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:25
			is the greatest way to give Dawa
through action through being there
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:29
			for the people that are in need,
when they don't expect you to be
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:34
			there. That is the best way for us
as Muslims to share the compassion
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			and the mercy that the Prophet
Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam has
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:41
			brought just akmola Hey, let's
revive the Sunon and the beautiful
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:45
			deeds of the tambourine and the
Sahabas and the Prophet Muhammad
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			Rasul Allah Salam. Salam aleikum
and enjoy them Oman.
