Hosam Helal – The Drunk Neighbor Ramadan Series Imam Abu Hanifa Ep. 5

Smilla Rahmanir Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa Salatu

was Salam ala Ashura, Fillmore Celine, going on to some of the

most beautiful stories in the taverns lives. Al Imam Abu Hanifa

May Allah subhanaw taala bless him and have mercy on him was, again,

neighboring one of the most difficult people to deal with. His

neighbor used to get drunk used to get loud used to frustrate

everybody around him. So one day an Imam Abu Hanifa was sitting in

his house expecting the loud noises that usually came from his

house at this time. But this is surprised nothing came from his

neighbor's house. So he went out to inquire about his neighbor. And

he found out that his neighbor actually got arrested because of

the excessive noise and the annoyance he was causing everybody

in the community. So an Imam Abu Hanifa, didn't do what most of us

would do. He didn't sit there saying and hamdulillah I'm glad

he's gone. And he's his jail. This is such a great blessing moment

for all of us. He didn't do that. He actually went to the jail when

to the cell asked to meet the person to meet his neighbor and

actually build him out, build him out. Now, when the person came

back, all Imam Abu Hanifa told him is he just basically told him a

tequila. Remember Allah be conscious of Allah. Don't forget

Allah. Now when this drunk neighbor finally gained his

consciousness, and when the moment actually kicked into him, he came

back to Imam Abu Hanifa and told him, Listen, all of my friends

that used to get drunk with me, all of my friends that used to be

very loud, not a single one of them cared about me, in that

moment of difficulty. Actually, the most of them, were happy to

see me behind bars and found it very funny. But you are the only

person who cared and remember it, even though I showed you no care,

no compassion, no kindness before. Indeed, this marks true, truly a

beautiful character coming from you. And it reminds me of the

beautiful character of the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, and

for that Wallahi I'm never touching a bottle of alcohol

again, he gave up and vowed to give up alcohol from that moment.

Don't ever underestimate the effect and the impact of a small

act of kindness and do it for the sake of Allah. And that in itself

is the greatest way to give Dawa through action through being there

for the people that are in need, when they don't expect you to be

there. That is the best way for us as Muslims to share the compassion

and the mercy that the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam has

brought just akmola Hey, let's revive the Sunon and the beautiful

deeds of the tambourine and the Sahabas and the Prophet Muhammad

Rasul Allah Salam. Salam aleikum and enjoy them Oman.
