			All praises due to Allah, we praise Him and seek his assistance. We seek refuge with Allah from the
evil within ourselves and from the evil of our deeds. Whomsoever Allah guides, none can misguide
him, yet whomever he allows us to go astray, none can guide him and I bear witness that there is no
god worthy of worship except Allah alone. He has no partner and I bear witness that Muhammad is His
servant and His Messenger

or Shara Mora Masato wakulla modesetting VEDA will collaborate in Bala wakulla cynefin, our
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:41
			brothers and sisters in Islam today we're going to speak about an APU which is pardoning one
another. And we're going to look at how that is a basic and or essential part of dealing with one
another, and the effects of forgiving one another in this dunya on our era in the next life.
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:59
			But we want to begin by mentioning that this is one of the attributes of Allah azza wa jal that He
is Allah Fuu He is the one who pardons and the difference between an apple and a mug for pardoning
and forgiving is that an awful lot
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:45
			gloveman in Baku, Sara Abu pardoning is greater than just forgiving, and it means linguistically
jawas which means to overlook or to look past something. So when Allah subhanaw taala forgive
someone in Madeira the sin might be forgiven, but it still might be in the record that so and so
committed this sin and Allah forgive him for it. It's still in their record, but Allahu the sin, its
traces and its record, the record of it all gone. And that's why I showed the Allaha on her. When
she asked the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam if it's later to cuddle, what should I say? And
the Prophet sallallahu Sallam tells her say Allahumma inaka alpha 12510 Allah, you are the one who
		
00:05:45 --> 00:06:12
			is our fool, who always pardons and you love to pardon, so Pardon me. So you see that the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam gave it Chateau de la to the instructions to ask for the higher level, not just
mcguffie era, but after which is even greater. And so then the sin, its traces record of it will all
be gone. And essentially, the person would come with a clean slate on the Day of Judgment.
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:25
			We wanted to begin with mentioning that Allah subhanaw taala is awful. Because this is a quality
that we're supposed to try to emulate as well. And we're supposed to try our best to pardon one
another.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:42
			And incidentally, tirmidhi, the Prophet sallallahu wasallam said, min unless you harlowton us, the
believer who mingles with people interacts with people will spur on other home, and he's patient
upon their harm
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:48
			of a john middle movement, la de la hollowness what is
		
00:06:49 --> 00:07:21
			the believer who interacts with people and is patient of one their harm is greater in reward than
the one who does not interact with people and is not patient upon their heart. So the first thing
is, why is it assumed that there will be other there will be harm? If you interact with people in
the community? Why is it assumed they will be harmed? There has to be it's inevitable, because
people they miss communicate, they misunderstand each other. So these things will happen. So there
will be harm happening amongst brothers and sisters in the community.
		
00:07:22 --> 00:08:07
			So the problem then said to be patient with that, and someone might argue, but this hadith doesn't
mention a foo or mother of two sama, pardoning or forgiving. It doesn't mention that it mentions
being patient with that, well, how else would you be patient? Meaning if I don't forgive, and I
don't pardon my brother, does that qualify as me being patient with them. But being patient means
pardoning, forgiving, overlooking and advising one another. That's all part of being patient. So the
secret to dealing with people is pardoning and forgiving, no matter what they do to you, that's the
secret to dealing with people will book curricula on who he used to give money to one of his
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:08
			relatives by the name of Mr.
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:53
			And Miss came emigrated from Medina and he was poor and related to boubakeur. So I will book rich to
give him a huge continuous stipend who would give him continuous money. And then this man who's his
relative, that Obama is doing good to him, he speaks against Russia, and he accuses her explicitly
of committing a major sin. So then, when the verses came down and sort of the North showing the
innocence of Arusha, Abu Bakar then said, well, law he I will never give any money after this. And
he, I'm his relative, and I've been giving him money since we moved, and he goes and slanders my
daughter, and Allah subhanaw taala proved her innocence I will never give him any money after that,
		
00:08:53 --> 00:09:00
			then I must have had to other immediately reveals when utterly old Ford Lincoln was sad. So when I
tell you
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:12
			a funny story, you should those of you who have been given from the graces and the bounty of Allah
should not swear yesterday to not give
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:57
			you any flamenco massage I used to own in Cordoba Misaki in one mahadji Nafisa Bella, well, yeah,
who was your spouse, they should not swear to give their relatives and the poor it's all describing
Mr. And those who immigrate for the sake of Allah, rather, they should Pardon? What Yes, is the side
literally. So stuff is to turn it's as if you turn away from it. You forget that it ever happened.
The higher level, not just party, but forget that ever happened. Many times we forgive one another.
But we always remember it. You see the person and you frown in their face or your smile disappears,
because you're not forgetting. But the higher level is to forgive and forget. So
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:59
			Allah Subhana Allah says
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:45
			Well Yahoo will Yahoo Allah buena yup Pharaoh Allahu Allahu Allah who are for Rahim, do you not love
that allowed forgive you and Allah is the most forgiving and the Most Merciful. And when this verse
was revealed because it asked that question, so abubaker responded to it out loud, he said, Well,
Ah, yes, I would love that allowed Forgive me, and he continued giving my spy and in the narration
by Toby Ronnie, he doubled the amount that he used to give Mr. rhodiola Han, this is pardoning and
another story of pardoning one of the O'Meara, one of the leaders from the last of the bunny, from
bunny omiya. His name is Ibrahim Suleiman, Abdel Malik, Abdul Malik Marwan the famous halifa. This
		
00:10:45 --> 00:11:28
			is his grandson, so about him, so they might have not been married. And this was right when the
ambassador overthrew the roommates. And they would look for anyone from domains any male and they
would execute them out of fear that they might rally people and troops and then revolt against
herbicides again. So this man, Abraham understood a man if not then Malik, he was in a, he had a hot
house that was far in the desert. But one day he was out on the roof of the house and he saw the
army of the ambassadors and needs to have blood standards. So when he saw that they thought they
were coming for him, so he feared and he ran to escape to a Kufa and he doesn't know anyone in Kufa.
		
00:11:28 --> 00:12:05
			And he says, I was so afraid, I was disguised and so afraid, I saw this big gate to this big house.
So I walked in, the owner of the home was extremely generous, he immediately took me in, and he
stayed with him for six months. He says, I just told him that I'm afraid that I need protection. So
he gave me protection. And he told the servants to take good care of me. So I was always eating, I
was wearing good clothing. And he said, for six months, the man never once asked me, who are you?
What's your name? None of the nodes in us that the Arabs have today. So so then
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:48
			he stayed there for for six months. He said, I would notice that the man would leave early in the
morning with his servants and his horses, and he would come back or after the horse. And every day
he would do this for six months. So I asked him, he says, I see that you always leave and you stay
for a long part of the day on your horse. What are you doing? He says I am looking for a man by the
name of Ibrahim Abu Sulayman. McNabb did Malik. He says, which is him? He says, Why are you looking
for that man? Because he killed my father unjustly. So I go out every morning looking for him so
that I can take revenge and kill him. So at this point, the man said, I just gave up on on running
		
00:12:48 --> 00:13:02
			away, give up on life. I said, Just let me tell him who I am. So he can kill me. Because everyone's
trying to kill me. And even now the place I took refuge, the guy is the one looking for me. So it
says I told him I'm about to have nabbed in money. If
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:19
			he told him, it seems that you're just sick and tired of life, and you're just making up this slide
because you want me to kill you. He says no. And he gave him the details of when he killed his
father, the date, the time, the reason everything. So the man became convinced. So he tells him
		
00:13:20 --> 00:14:04
			as for my father, he will take his right from you on the Day of Judgment. But as for me, I can't
keep as a host keep you in my home and then kill you. This is not honorable from the side of the
host. So I'm going to pardon you. And he says he gave me 500 Gold dinners and told me that you're
going to need this on your trip. So take it and leave. But don't stay here because I don't know if I
have the patience to keep seeing you every day on I might be tempted to kill you and he pardoned
him. This is the essence of the relationship between individuals pardoning each other because we
will always earn against one another. In a narration as an Hadith in incident Buddhahood A man came
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:49
			to the Prophet sallallahu sallam, and he said, Come now, and you heard him Jani. how much or how
often should I pardon the servant at home when he makes a mistake? For some for some individuals? He
didn't answer him he remained quiet. Tomorrow daddy Hill column for summit he repeated the question
and remain quiet. So then for them mechanically thoroughly thought when he asked him the third time.
The problem said or an O v Coolio min Sabina marva pardon him 70 times every single day. In another
generation, a man come the man came to the problem and said, I have a servant who always insults and
always harms how many times you like pardon him and the person who tells him pardon him 70 times a
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:59
			day. And as Connor said, Danny, this is hyperbole. This is an exaggeration. Because what kind of
servant or anybody who will offend you and make a mistake.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:39
			70 times a day. But even if he were to pardon him that many times, this is the essence of the
relationship between individuals parting and forgiving one another. A note the scholars say it is,
the more painful the offense, the more reward you get for pardoning and the you do it now rather
than later. Yeah. And if someone insults you, and you don't see him again for two years, when you
see him after two years of a colossal pardon, no, you've forgotten it at this point. But the more
instant it is, the closer it is to the incident, the more reward you get, like so then what does
this have? And how is what is the effect of pardoning one another in this world, on the day of
		
00:15:39 --> 00:16:21
			judgment, and a sort of a long line who says we were sitting with the profits of the law, they said
them, and he laughed until we saw his molars, so under the law and who says what makes you laugh?
You're the sort of law man my father and mother be sacrificed for you. So then the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam tells them of an event that will take place on the Day of Judgment between two
people that a man will say to Allah, yo, Rob hood, Lima llama t manaphy. O Allah, take my rights
from this brother, Yanni. This man has harmed me or done me some injustice. So take my rights from
him. So Allah subhanaw taala then tells the other man of the Mahabharata, so give your brother, any
		
00:16:21 --> 00:17:04
			gift, repay him for whatever you offended him and so forth, which means you give him from your good
deeds. So that man said, yo, let me come in as an attache. Oh Allah, I don't have any good deeds
left. I don't have anything to give them. So then the other man who wants his rights, he says Yo,
Foley, Amina folia, Amina Honeyman, oh, sorry. Oh Allah, they let him take some of my sins. He
doesn't have good deeds to give me your Allah let him take some of my sins, and then the processor
lump. He remained quiet, and his eyes started to overflow with tears. And then he cried Salalah
Hardison, yeah. And he began the Hadith laughing, and then the lamb cried. And he said, That day is
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:55
			great when people need someone to take away their sins. So then Allah subhanaw taala says to the one
making the demands of funds or energy none, he says, lift up your head, raise your head, and look at
these gardens look at paradise. So the man raises his head and he sees how palaces of silver palaces
of pure gold, adorned with pearls. So he says, to which prophet do these, these gardens belong? He
assumed, it's got to be a prophet who gets something this beautiful, or then he says, to which sudip
or to which martyr? Who gets something so great. So then allows me to tell him that Lehman pania
Thurman, this is for whoever gives me the price. So he said, Yeah, Rob fermium liquid Alec, oh,
		
00:17:55 --> 00:18:04
			Allah, then who? Who has that? And who has this price of something so magnificent. So Allah subhanaw
taala tells him and
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:09
			Antietam liko you have that price, you have the price.
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:53
			He tells him be mother European. How do I have this price? He says behalf we can speak by pardoning
your brother. If you pardon your brother, you've got the price to get these, this paradise. So then
the man says, could afford to Unruh I've forgiven him, I've pardoned him. And Allah subhanaw taala.
And it's so beautiful, allows audiences who will be at The Hague, for agenda. Take your brother by
the hand, and both of you intelligently and it's so beautiful that Allah subhanaw taala told him to
hold hands and walk together into a journal. This is the effect of pardoning people on the Day of
Judgment. This is now what's the effect of when I pardoned someone today what happens on the Day of
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:59
			Judgment, as we saw in the verse that was in sort of the North for Abu Bakr radiallahu anhu.
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:02
			Allah azza wa jal said Allah to
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:44
			Allah Allah. So you pardon, don't you would Don't you love that Allah with pardon you. So then the
equation is, if you pardon people, Allah pardons you, brothers and sisters in Islam, every single
one of us, we are going to on the Day of Judgment stand in front of Allah subhanaw taala. And Allah
azzawajal is going to go through our records and ask us about every detail of our life. Who in this
room is looking forward to Allah subhanaw taala going through your sins one by one and asking you
about them. We would be embarrassed just in front of the Imam or for the community to see these
sins. Allah subhanaw taala is going to ask you the problem said les Sabina, who have been a Hutu
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:59
			man, with no translator between you and Allah. And your feet will not move until Allah asks you
these questions. So the secret to forgiving people in this dunya is to remember that moment and to
forgive people the same way you would love a lot
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:38
			forgive you. You want Allah azzawajal when you stand in front of him to say there's nothing to
discuss, goes straight to Jenna. So forgive everybody in the exact same way. Some people would come
and say, I've forgiven everyone in this earth, except so and so I will never forgive them. And I ask
Allah to unite us in front of him and to judge between us, Hey, would you rather that are being
generous eating grapes? Which one would you rather be doing? So what is then just like you say, I'll
forgive everybody except it's one person. What if you stand in front of Allah azzawajal. Allah
subhanaw taala tells you I forgiven everything you've done, you start to walk away, except for one
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:49
			thing, let's discuss it, who wants to come back and talk about one thing. So the same way you would
love Allah subhanaw taala to tell you go, I forgiven everything, forgive, and pardon everyone.
		
00:20:50 --> 00:21:31
			But what happens after you say this, people will come to you and say, I was abused, or I was
molested? Or our someone did something, you know, atrocious to me, as a child, and so on and so
forth. Should I even forgive such an evil person? And the answer is, yes. You don't forgive them for
them. You don't forgive them, because what they did is okay, but you forgive them for you, as any
psychologist and they tell you so you can move forward, you need to forgive people who have harmed
you, in the past, your heart is about the size of your fist. So this is a very small area. And this
is very valuable real estate. And you have to fill it with important things. You have to fill it
		
00:21:31 --> 00:22:17
			with love of Allah azza wa jal of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam of the prophets, of the companions
of the Quran of your loved ones. But then you're going to save some space in your heart this
valuable real estate, just for hating so and so it is absolutely not worth it. And one of the ways
to move forward is to forgive and to pardon. The last thing remains when what is the guideline? When
do I forgive someone? versus when do I ask for any recompense or retaliation, whatever it is, and
the scholars say, if someone made a mistake, or harmed you, and it was accidental, or they forgot,
or they don't commonly do this, here, it's encouraged to forgive him. But if someone is always doing
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:46
			it, it's encouraged to not forgive him. So the example, let's say, a young man, a teenager, he stole
this was the first time he ever stoled he was pressured into it, whatever it is, the first time he
ever did it, here, forgive him, and forgiving him would be better than getting him punished. versus
someone who is a seasoned veteran, a known thief who was always robbing people. If he robs you, and
you forgive him. There's no benefit here for him, nor for society, this type of person, you don't
forgive.
		
00:22:47 --> 00:23:01
			But the scholars do say that those who harm you are not all on the same level. akula cola was
stopped for a la la de Mola menjamin festival fair fosun Mr. Varian, ask Allah Subhana Allah for his
forgiveness, indeed those who ask for his forgiveness you'll prosper
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:17
			from the law horrible alameen wa salatu salam ala rasulillah. Meanwhile, he was a big mind about
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:37
			so we want to discuss the difference between this higher level of forgiveness that we sometimes hear
or read about in the biographies of the righteous Imam Ahmed Rahim, Allah was jailed for many years,
and he was beaten and whipped. And then after he was released, people would come and visit him in
his home. And they would tell him,
		
00:23:38 --> 00:24:25
			at least make the up against those who punished you and did all this injustice to you. And he would
tell them, laser besonderen Mandara was the one who makes the against 100 is not patient. But so so
we don't misunderstand this. He's talking about a higher level here. So he has chosen this high
level and you want it to forgive this immense injustice that was done to him. But the scholars
mentioned that you do have the right to not pardon someone if you don't want to. And they mentioned
that even in the Quran, Allah subhanaw taala made it optional, made it optional. So from an AFA was
law or the law, it wasn't a command. So whoever pardons and rectifies then his reward is with Allah
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:59
			it was made as an option. Even the verse uncertain nor for Abercrombie alone, I know that we saw
same thing was given an option What do you got for what they should Pardon? They should forgive and
forget, but it was not made as a command. So the scholars say if someone doesn't want to forgive and
they want to take their rights on the Day of Judgment, they absolutely have the right to do that.
But the prophet Lem does mention what the higher level is and in one Howdy, and we saw Selim said
Mazda de la abdon bf when Illa Allah subhanaw taala does not increase any servant who pardoned
someone else except in dignity and in honor
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:00
			aza
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:40
			and we see this from the example of the righteous use of alayhi salam. When his brothers did
everything that they did to him. Not only did they take him away from his father, but the scholar
said they took them away from his father who is a prophet. Yeah, and he could have learned from a
prophet one on one, but untold into slavery and all imprisoned, thrown into prison. But he tells his
brothers latter three ballet pumilio pardons them immediately, or any sort of law system after
conquering Mecca, he tells them is horrible for Antonio Toluca, he sets them all three examples of
righteous people and profits pardoning. So it is the higher level to pardon, but it's completely
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:45
			within your right if you do not want to pardon someone for something they have done to you.
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:59
			A Haleakala moon, he used to be known for pardoning a lot. He's the partner and so much that he used
to say a hafele. And now you see Bonilla hora de the
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:36
			min muhabba. He says, I'm afraid that Allah will not even reward me for all the pardoning that I do
to people, because they do it out of love. And he says, I love pardoning so much that I don't know
if I'm doing it because I love to pardon or I'm doing it for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala. But
that is the way of the believers in the end, the last thing we'll say is that, pardoning one another
is very important also, especially between the husband and wife. Many times, people, when they're
married, they are against each other, they do injustice to each other. So each one keeps it in their
heart, the man has a list
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:40
			of the mistakes, and the woman has a list of the mistakes as well.
		
00:26:42 --> 00:27:20
			But the only way to move forward, you cannot move forward in any relationship by looking backwards.
So the scholars talk about the importance of forgiving each other. So this is an invitation to all
of us right now, as we're sitting here that we intend and nobody's perfect to forgive our spouses
for whatever they've done. Brothers, forgive your wives and wives please, for Allah sake, forgive
your husbands because this situation cannot move forward. If this is not done with that last Allah
subhanaw taala to make use of those who recognize the truth as clear truth and follow the best of
it, and to make use of those who recognize falsehood as clear falsehood and abstain from it. For
