00:00:01 --> 00:00:02
			In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious,
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:03
			the Most Merciful.
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			All praise is due to Allah, the Lord
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:06
			of the worlds.
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			May the peace and blessings of Allah be
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:14
			upon the best of Allah's creation, upon his
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			family, his companions, and those guided by his
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19
			guidance, and those who follow his Sunnah until
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:19
			the Day of Judgment.
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			O Allah, teach us what will benefit us,
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			and benefit us with what You have taught
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			us, and increase us in knowledge.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			Show us the truth as it is, and
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:29
			grant us to follow it.
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:32
			Show us the falsehood as it is, and
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			grant us to avoid it.
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			And make us of those who listen to
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			the word, and follow its good.
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:40
			And after that, may the peace, mercy, and
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:41
			blessings of Allah be upon you.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:54
			We continue on to Hadith number 76.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:01
			And this hadith is narrated by Abu Hurairah,
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:07
			and it is agreed upon, found in Bukhari
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08
			and Muslim.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:38
			Abu Hurairah narrates, The
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:43
			Prophet ﷺ says that Allah laughs at two
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:43
			men.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:48
			One of them kills the other, and both
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:49
			enter Jannah.
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:59
			The first one fights and gets martyred as
		
00:01:59 --> 00:01:59
			a result.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:06
			As for the second, then Allah forgives him.
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10
			The killer, Allah forgives him.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:14
			And he embraces Islam.
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			And then he also gets martyred.
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			He also gets martyred.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:20
			In the cause of Allah.
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:25
			And so what this hadith tells us is
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:29
			the great bounty of Allah.
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:36
			And how the bounty, and the fadl, and
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:43
			the generosity of Allah knows no limits.
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			And it's not something that we can even
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:47
			begin to imagine.
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			And so here, you have two men.
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:55
			One was a Muslim, and the other was
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:55
			a kafir.
		
00:02:56 --> 00:03:00
			The kafir kills a Muslim in jihad.
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:07
			And so the Muslim, as we know the
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:15
			reward for getting killed in battle, it's among
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:18
			the highest of rewards, the virtue of the
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:19
			shaheed.
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:20
			So that's obvious.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			Him entering Jannah is obvious.
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			But what about the one who killed him?
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:35
			Basically, he goes on to embrace Islam.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:41
			And as we know, whatever someone did before
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:44
			his Islam, Allah forgives it.
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:52
			That Islam erases everything that preceded it.
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:57
			And there is no sin too great for
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			Allah to forgive.
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:03
			As Allah says, قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:09
			عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ My
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:15
			servants who have transgressed against yourselves, do not
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			despair of the mercy of Allah.
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:22
			إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذِّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا Allah forgives all
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:23
			sins.
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:26
			إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ He is the All
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:29
			-Forgiving and the Most Merciful.
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:33
			So the killer, who was a kafir, he
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:34
			embraces Islam.
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:39
			And obviously he is regretful for what he
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:39
			did.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			He may not only have killed one Muslim,
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:43
			but many.
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:49
			But he regrets it, and he asks Allah
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:49
			to forgive him.
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			And so Allah forgives him.
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:53
			And then he joins the Muslim army.
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:55
			And he goes to fight in the ranks
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:56
			of the Muslims.
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			And then he gets killed.
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:03
			And so he ends up in Jannah with
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:04
			his Muslim brother who he had killed.
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:14
			And so this is something to be joyful
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:15
			about.
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:21
			This is something that one would be happy
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:21
			about.
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			And Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:26
			is happy about this.
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:30
			And he laughs over this.
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			Now when it comes to Allah Subh'anaHu
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:37
			Wa Ta-A'la and his attributes, especially
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:43
			his attributes of action, صفات الأفعال We affirm
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			them for Allah as they are.
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:54
			And we don't deny any of these attributes
		
00:05:55 --> 00:06:03
			on the basis that this necessitates resemblance between
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:04
			Allah and his creation.
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			And so just like Allah Subh'anaHu Wa
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:13
			Ta-A'la himself exists, and his existence,
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:17
			how his existence is, is unknown to us.
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20
			We don't know how Allah exists, but no
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:21
			one denies his existence.
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			So likewise with all of his attributes.
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:31
			They are real, but we don't know how
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:31
			they are.
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:36
			We don't know how Allah's attributes are.
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			So we don't deny them simply because we
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			don't understand how they are.
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:46
			We simply say that all of Allah's attributes
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:49
			we affirm for him that have been mentioned
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:52
			in the Qur'an and the Sunnah without
		
00:06:52 --> 00:07:01
			denying any of them, without trying to explain
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:02
			how any of them are.
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:11
			And without asking how they are, and without
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:14
			resembling them to the attributes of Allah's creation.
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:20
			So when we say Allah laughs, one should
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:23
			not say, okay, so how does Allah laugh?
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:27
			Or does it mean that he has organs
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:28
			like a human being?
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31
			There's no need to get into any of
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:32
			that.
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			And those who deny this attribute and other
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:39
			attributes of Allah, they delved into an area
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41
			that they should not have delved into.
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:47
			If they had simply said that this attribute
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:50
			of Allah is real, but I don't know
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			how, nor do I have to get into
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54
			it, then that's it, you're safe.
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:58
			But they wanted to explore, they wanted to
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:01
			delve into it, using philosophical arguments.
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:05
			And so as a result, they deviated by
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:10
			denying, by denying what the Prophet ﷺ attributed
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:11
			to Allah.
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:38
			Yes, that's true.
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:46
			In the Arabic language, laughter, al-dhahik, the
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:51
			word al-dhahik, can refer to actual laughter,
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:52
			as we know it in English, or it
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:53
			can refer to smiling.
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:59
			And that's why the Prophet ﷺ, I believe
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:02
			it was Aisha radiAllahu anha, she was asked,
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:04
			did the Prophet ﷺ used to laugh?
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:05
			And so she said yes.
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:08
			But all he could see when he would
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:13
			laugh is his teeth, indicating that that's the
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:13
			most he would do.
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:16
			He wouldn't laugh like heavy laughter like people
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:17
			do.
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:23
			But either way, whether it's laughter or smiling,
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:30
			we attribute it to Allah without getting into
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:30
			the how.
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33
			There's no way for us to prove how
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:37
			Allah laughs, nor can we imagine how Allah
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:38
			does it.
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:43
			We just simply accept that Allah laughs.
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:53
			And this hadith basically proves, or it basically
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:57
			encourages us to turn to Allah in repentance
		
00:09:57 --> 00:10:00
			for all of our sins, and how we
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			should never despair of the mercy of Allah
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05
			or His forgiveness.
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:08
			And so here you have someone who kills
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:12
			a Muslim, and yet Allah forgives him and
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:13
			admits him into Jannah.
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:15
			Not only does He admit him into Jannah,
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:19
			but He also allows him to reach that
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:22
			level in Jannah, the level of the shuhada.
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:24
			And so imagine that.
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:28
			And there are examples from the companions.
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:31
			There are many examples from the companions who
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:37
			fit this hadith, where, you know, initially they
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:40
			fought in the lines of Quraysh against the
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:40
			Muslims.
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:42
			Later on, they embraced Islam.
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:44
			They may have killed some of the companions.
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:46
			Later on, they embraced Islam.
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:48
			They end up in the Muslim army, and
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:50
			they go and fight on behalf of the
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:51
			Muslims, and they got killed.
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:55
			There are many sahaba who fit this description.
		
00:10:56 --> 00:11:05
			The next hadith is the hadith of Anas
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:08
			ibn Malik, and this is also in Bukhari
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:08
			and Muslim.
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:14
			He narrates, The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:22
			says, The Prophet
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:35
			sallallahu
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:39
			alayhi wa sallam says, None of you should
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:43
			wish for death due to something that befalls
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:46
			him, a calamity that befalls him.
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:53
			If he has to do something, then let
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:59
			him say, O Allah, grant me life, as
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:03
			long as life is good for me, and
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:06
			take away my life, if death is better
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:07
			for me.
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:12
			And so in this hadith, the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:16
			alayhi wa sallam is forbidding us from wishing
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:17
			for death.
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			And those who wish for death are those
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:23
			who, as mentioned in this hadith, those who
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			are going through a tough time.
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:29
			They've been afflicted with a certain calamity.
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:32
			And Allah tests us with different kinds of
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:33
			calamities.
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:39
			Sometimes it could be financial, other times it
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:45
			could be marital, other times it could be
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:51
			health problems, mental illnesses.
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:59
			And so no matter what Allah afflicts you
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:06
			with of these calamities, no matter how severe
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:12
			it becomes, it should never reach the point
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:14
			where you give up.
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:20
			And you're like, I can't bear this calamity,
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:24
			and I wish I just die right now.
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:29
			And we have the best example in the
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:33
			Prophets and the Messengers of Allah, for no
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:36
			one has gone through greater calamities than them.
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:39
			As the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam tells
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:41
			us, that those who are tested by Allah
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:44
			the most are the Anbiya, the Prophets.
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:48
			No one has been through anything rougher than
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:48
			them.
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:51
			And so if you think you can't handle
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:53
			what Allah is making you go through, then
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:55
			you need to read the stories of the
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:57
			Prophets and see what they went through.
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:02
			And yet with everything that they went through,
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:03
			not once did they wish for death.
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:10
			Look at Yaqub alayhi salam, losing one son
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:12
			and then a second son.
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:17
			And yes, I mean, it was distressful for
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:17
			him.
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:20
			He lost his sight out of grief and
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:22
			out of crying so much.
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:25
			But not once in that story do we
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:28
			find him saying, Oh Allah, I wish that,
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:30
			you know, I just die.
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:32
			I want to just die, I give up.
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:36
			Likewise, all of the Prophets and the Messengers,
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:38
			you know, when we read their stories, we
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:42
			see how they had a strong determination and
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:45
			will to keep going, to keep going.
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:49
			Likewise, with us, right?
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:52
			We should always remind ourselves that there is
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:54
			light at the end of the tunnel.
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:59
			And no matter what we're going through, the
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:00
			relief is coming very soon.
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:04
			The relief is coming very soon.
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:10
			Even if the calamity prolongs, the relief is
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:11
			coming soon.
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:15
			And we need to just be patient.
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:23
			And the reason why wishing for death is
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:27
			something the Prophet ﷺ forbids here is because,
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:31
			first of all, it proves that a person
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:32
			loses patience.
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:36
			And Allah has told us in the Qur
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:39
			'an that we need to continuously strive with
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:39
			patience.
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:43
			Who are those who are going to be
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:43
			successful?
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:46
			They have to have four qualities.
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:54
			إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا صَالِحَاتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْحَقِّ
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:58
			وَتَوَاصَوْا الصَّبَر They advise one another to remain
		
00:15:58 --> 00:15:58
			patient.
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:02
			And so many ayat in the Qur'an
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:04
			talk about patience and the importance of patience.
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:07
			Someone who wishes for death, it means that
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:10
			he doesn't want to continue patiently.
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:14
			Also, it weakens the nafs.
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:17
			It weakens the nafs.
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:20
			Someone who wishes for death means that's it,
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:22
			he's done, and now he's not going to
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:27
			have the determination to get up and do
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:27
			actions.
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			Actions are going to help us to get
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:35
			to Jannah because he's given up.
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:46
			And we are in this dunya preparing for
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:46
			our akhira.
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:49
			And a person who gives up, that's it.
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:53
			It cuts the means of him entering Jannah,
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:56
			which is through العمل الصالح.
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:03
			But then the Prophet ﷺ said that if
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:07
			someone reaches that boiling point and that's it,
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:10
			he's just wishing for death, let him to
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:11
			make this du'a.
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:18
			The O Allah, grant me life if life
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:20
			is better for me and take away my
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:23
			life if death is better for me.
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:26
			Now, the reason why this du'a is
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:28
			a very beautiful du'a and the reason
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:32
			why the Prophet ﷺ tells us to make
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:34
			this du'a if we reach that point,
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:39
			is because here you're putting it in the
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:40
			hands of Allah.
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:45
			Someone who wishes for death, he thinks that
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:46
			death is better for him.
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:49
			But that may not be true.
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:54
			It could be true, maybe it is better
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:54
			for him.
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:56
			But how does he know?
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:57
			He doesn't know the future.
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:00
			He doesn't know what's better for him.
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:03
			He doesn't know what's better for his dunya
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:04
			or his akhirah.
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:08
			If Allah was to take away your soul
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:10
			tomorrow, what guarantee do you have that you're
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:11
			going to Jannah?
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:14
			Whereas if Allah gives you an extra 10
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:17
			-20 years, maybe in those 10-20 years
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:21
			you'll end up excelling in doing good deeds
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			that are going to help you to enter
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:23
			Jannah.
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:26
			And you wished to cut that short.
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:27
			Right?
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:31
			And so you're putting it in the hands
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:32
			of Allah.
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:36
			Oh Allah, you know what's best for me.
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:40
			If living on is best for me, then
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:40
			let me live on.
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:43
			But if it's not best for me, then
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:49
			let me die.
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:52
			Take away my soul, if that is what
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:53
			is best for me.
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:58
			And we have the hadith of that woman
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:04
			who basically came to the Prophet ﷺ and
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:08
			she complained of a certain condition that she
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:08
			had.
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:09
			Epilepsy.
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:12
			Where she used to have seizures.
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:22
			And she would have these seizures, uncontrollable.
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:26
			And the kids would laugh at her.
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:28
			Her hijab would come off.
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:30
			So she came to the Prophet ﷺ asking
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:33
			him to make dua to Allah to cure
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:34
			her.
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:40
			The Prophet ﷺ said, I could do something
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:40
			better for you.
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:46
			And that is that if you guarantee for
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:48
			me that you will remain patient with this
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:52
			condition, then I guarantee for you Jannah.
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			Now if this was one of us, we
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:02
			would say, No, I'd rather you make dua
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:02
			for me.
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:04
			Why?
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:07
			Because we've given up.
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:08
			We've lost all hope.
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:11
			We don't want to carry on patiently.
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:15
			But she said, I'll take the second option.
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:21
			I'll live on patiently in exchange for Jannah.
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:24
			But then she said, Ya Rasulullah, at least
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:29
			make dua to Allah for me that when
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:31
			I have these seizures, my hijab doesn't come
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:31
			off.
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:35
			And that shows us the nature of the
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:42
			sahabiyat where they cared about their a'thaaf, their
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:47
			iffah, their chastity, and the importance of the
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:47
			hijab.
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:49
			Even though she's forgiven.
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:55
			Sisters today will take off their hijab without
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:55
			any excuse.
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:56
			And they don't care.
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:03
			Abdullah ibn Abbas, after the death of the
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:06
			Prophet ﷺ, he was telling his student, A'ta
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:09
			ibn Abi Rabbah, he said to him, Do
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:11
			you want to see a woman from the
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:12
			women of Jannah?
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:14
			He said, Yes.
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:17
			Abdullah ibn Abbas pointed to her.
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:19
			He pointed to her.
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:23
			And then he told his student the story.
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:30
			And so the point is that, one should
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:32
			carry on living with whatever condition they're in,
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:36
			no matter how difficult it may seem, with
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:37
			patience.
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:40
			There's a lesson in patience here.
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:43
			And not giving up.
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:44
			Not giving up.
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:52
			The next hadith is the hadith of Abu
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:53
			Sa'id al-Khudri.
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:57
			And this is in Sahih Muslim.
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:07
			The Prophet ﷺ says, The Prophet
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:25
00:22:25 --> 00:22:32
			says, The dunya is sweet and green.
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:36
			Green meaning that it's alluring.
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:38
			It's beautiful.
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:39
			Alluring.
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:40
			Tempting.
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:44
			And then he said, And Allah is making
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:47
			you to succeed each other in the dunya.
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:51
			Meaning, we are succeeding others.
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:55
			And we are replacing others.
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:58
			So, we have replaced a previous generation.
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:01
			And another generation is going to come after
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:02
			us.
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:05
			One after the other are succeeding each other.
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:12
			And then he said, You are succeeding each
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:14
			other in order, Allah is doing this in
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:17
			order, to see how you act.
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:20
			In order to see what you do.
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:24
			And then he said, So beware of the
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:24
			dunya.
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:26
			Beware.
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:27
			Be cautious.
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:29
			Of the dunya.
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:30
			It's glitter.
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:31
			It's glamour.
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:32
			It's temptation.
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:38
			And beware of women.
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:40
			Beware of the fitna of women.
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:43
			And then he explained why.
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:48
			He said, The first fitna with Bani Israel
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:51
			was the fitna of women.
		
00:23:54 --> 00:24:00
			And so, here the Prophet ﷺ describes to
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:03
			us the reality of the life of this
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:03
			world.
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:09
			The reality of the life of this world
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:14
			is that it's been beautified for us.
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:23
			It's been made to be tempting and alluring.
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:28
			And there's a reason for that.
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:31
			If Allah had not done this, then it
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:33
			would be easy for everyone to get into
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:33
			Jannah.
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:38
			And so there has to be a test.
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:41
			There has to be a test.
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:43
			There has to be a way to distinguish
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:51
			those who are going to strive hard with
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:53
			all the temptations that are involved.
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:56
			They're going to strive hard to make it.
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:59
			And that's why the Prophet ﷺ says about
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:02
			the hellfire that it is surrounded by.
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:05
			What's it surrounded by?
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:09
			By that which is beloved.
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:17
			Whereas Jannah is surrounded by al-makarih, hardship
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:19
			and difficulties.
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:20
			Right?
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:23
			And so that is the nature of the
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:28
			dunya, that it is sweet and it is
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:32
			green, meaning it's adorned and beautiful and tempting.
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:40
			As Allah ﷻ says, in Surah Ali'Imran,
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:46
			زُيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ حُبُّ الشَّهَوَاتِ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ وَالْبَنِينَ And
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:48
			then Allah mentioned a whole list of things
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:49
			from the dunya.
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:56
			Allah says that beautified for people.
		
00:25:56 --> 00:26:00
			Allah has made things in this dunya beautified
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:00
			for the people.
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:03
			And He lists, at the very top of
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:05
			the list is what the Prophet ﷺ mentions
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:06
			in this hadith.
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:07
			النِّسَاءِ Women.
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:12
			And your children, and gold and silver, etc.
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:18
			And Allah tells us, إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا مَا عَلَى
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:26
			الْأَرْضِ زِينَةً لَّهَا لِنَبْلُوَهُمْ أَيُّهُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا We
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:27
			have made that which is on the earth
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:34
			beautiful, adorned it for us to test us
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:37
			who is going to do the best of
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:37
			actions.
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:41
			So all of this shows us that Allah
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:43
			made it this way to test us.
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:48
			He made the dunya to be appealing, to
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:53
			be tempting and alluring to test us to
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:57
			see who is going to contain their desires
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:02
			and restrain their nafs and who is going
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:04
			to let their nafs on the loose.
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:10
			But even then, even though Allah has done
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:14
			this, He has made of each of the
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:17
			things in the dunya that is alluring and
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:20
			tempting, Allah has made a part of it
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:21
			to be halal for us.
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:27
			And that is from His mercy and His
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:36
			bounty where He hasn't deprived us completely of
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:37
			the pleasures of the dunya.
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:39
			Imagine He had.
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:43
			How difficult would that have been?
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:46
			Barely anyone would make it to Jannah in
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:50
			that case if everything of the dunya was
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:51
			to be haram for us.
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:53
			And that's why there were people who did
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:53
			that.
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:55
			They made everything of the dunya haram on
		
00:27:55 --> 00:28:01
			themselves like the monks of Ahlul Kitab.
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:10
			And Islam came to strike a balance between
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:13
			that kind of lifestyle and the other kind
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:15
			of lifestyle where you indulge in the dunya.
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:20
			And so Allah has made certain things of
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:25
			the dunya halal for us but we shouldn't
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:28
			make the dunya to be our greatest concern
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:31
			as the Prophet shallallahu alaihi wa sallam would
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:32
			make that dua.
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:39
			Allahumma la taj'alil dunya akbaraham mina Don't
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:41
			make the dunya to be our greatest concern.
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:46
			And so make your akhirah to be your
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:50
			greatest concern and use of the dunya, whatever
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:53
			can help you to reach there, and take
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:55
			of the dunya whatever Allah has made halal
		
00:28:55 --> 00:28:58
			for us without indulging in it excessively.
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:00
			And then the Prophet shallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:04
			mentions in this hadith to beware of the
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:04
			fitna of women.
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:08
			And that's because it is definitely the greatest
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:13
			fitna as the Prophet shallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:20
			mentioned here in this hadith because it's not
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:23
			just one fitna but it's a fitna that
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:29
			is multi-layered and how so many different
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:33
			fitna come attached to the fitna of women.
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:40
			And once a person gets stuck in those
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:44
			ropes it's difficult for him to come out
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:45
			from it.
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:49
			And one sin leads to the next.
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:55
			Finally, the last hadith we'll cover for tonight
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:58
			is the hadith of Abu Hurair r.a
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:02
			and this is agreed upon in Bukhari and
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:03
			Muslim.
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:07
			He says, قَالَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:14
			وَسَلَّمَ الْإِيمَانُ بِضْعٌ وَسَبْعُونَ أَوْ بِضْعٌ وَسِتُّونَ شُعْبَةٌ
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:21
			أَعْلَاهَا قَوْلُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَدْنَاهَا إِمَاتَةُ
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:28
			الْأَذَى عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ وَالْحَيَاءُ شُعْبَةٌ مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ The
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:34
			Prophet ﷺ says that Iman is some 70
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:37
			or 60 odd branches.
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:43
			The highest branch is saying لا إله إلا
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:48
			الله and the lowest branch is to remove
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:51
			something harmful from the road or the pathway.
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:58
			And الحياء or modesty is also a branch
		
00:30:58 --> 00:30:59
			of Iman.
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:09
			And so here in this hadith the Prophet
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:12
			ﷺ tells us about Iman.
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:15
			What is Iman as we can see from
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:16
			this hadith?
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:20
			Iman is something greater than just limiting it
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:21
			to the word faith.
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:26
			Like some people they translate Iman to the
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:26
			word faith.
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:30
			But this is not an accurate translation.
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:37
			Because it gives the idea that it's just
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:38
			something that's in the heart.
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:43
			But as we can see from this hadith
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:45
			and so many other ayat of the Quran
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:48
			and ahadith we can see that there are
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:54
			many things that come into the description of
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:56
			Iman and what Iman is.
		
00:31:57 --> 00:32:01
			And that's why the scholars from the Salaf,
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:05
			from the early scholars of Islam, they said
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:10
			that Iman is basically three things.
		
00:32:11 --> 00:32:14
			It is a belief with the heart and
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:18
			a statement with the tongue and actions with
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:19
			your body parts.
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:23
			Actions with your body parts.
		
00:32:24 --> 00:32:27
			So it consists of three things and you
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:30
			can't separate one of them from it.
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:33
			You can't separate one of them from it.
		
00:32:34 --> 00:32:36
			Obviously it originates from the heart.
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:40
			So that's Iman in the heart that everyone
		
00:32:40 --> 00:32:40
			understands.
		
00:32:42 --> 00:32:44
			But as the Prophet ﷺ says here in
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:47
			this hadith, the highest level of Iman is
		
00:32:47 --> 00:32:48
			قول لا إله إلا الله.
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:51
			To say it, to say لا إله إلا
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:52
			الله meaning with your tongue.
		
00:32:54 --> 00:32:56
			So saying it with your tongue is Iman.
		
00:33:00 --> 00:33:04
			And then with our body parts, praying Salah
		
00:33:04 --> 00:33:05
			is part of Iman.
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:07
			A person who doesn't pray Salah, he doesn't
		
00:33:07 --> 00:33:08
			have Iman.
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:11
			A person who doesn't do any of the
		
00:33:11 --> 00:33:16
			actions of a Muslim, he doesn't have any
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:16
			Iman.
		
00:33:17 --> 00:33:19
			But if someone does some of the actions,
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:25
			then he'll basically have some Iman.
		
00:33:26 --> 00:33:29
			As mentioned in this hadith, that Iman is
		
00:33:29 --> 00:33:30
			something that has branches.
		
00:33:31 --> 00:33:33
			And as the Prophet ﷺ says in this
		
00:33:33 --> 00:33:36
			hadith, 60 or 70 odd branches.
		
00:33:38 --> 00:33:40
			So this proves that Iman is not just
		
00:33:40 --> 00:33:41
			one thing.
		
00:33:44 --> 00:33:46
			That if it goes, it's gone.
		
00:33:48 --> 00:33:51
			Or if it's there, then all of it's
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:51
			there.
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:56
			Iman is something that goes up and down.
		
00:33:57 --> 00:34:01
			It increases with obedience and decreases with disobedience.
		
00:34:02 --> 00:34:04
			And so in our Islamic history, you had
		
00:34:04 --> 00:34:12
			two extreme groups who understood Iman to the
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:13
			opposite extreme.
		
00:34:14 --> 00:34:18
			So you had one group who basically said
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:22
			that if you commit a major sin, then
		
00:34:22 --> 00:34:23
			your Iman is gone.
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:24
			That's it.
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:26
			Your Iman is gone.
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:27
			You are now a Kafir.
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:29
			Right?
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:32
			And this was the Mu'tazila and the Khawarij.
		
00:34:35 --> 00:34:38
			But they differed in terms of what we
		
00:34:38 --> 00:34:39
			call this person now.
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:42
			So the Khawarij said he's a Kafir.
		
00:34:43 --> 00:34:50
			The Mu'tazila, they said, he is in a
		
00:34:50 --> 00:34:51
			state between Iman and Kufr.
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:55
			But they both agree that this person, he's
		
00:34:55 --> 00:34:56
			going to be in the hellfire forever.
		
00:34:58 --> 00:34:59
			Because he doesn't have Iman.
		
00:35:01 --> 00:35:03
			And then you had another group.
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:04
			They went to the other extreme.
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:08
			They said, as long as you have some
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:11
			Iman, then your Iman is complete.
		
00:35:13 --> 00:35:17
			So a major sinner is like the best
		
00:35:17 --> 00:35:18
			believer.
		
00:35:18 --> 00:35:19
			Like the best Muslim.
		
00:35:20 --> 00:35:22
			They all share the same Iman.
		
00:35:23 --> 00:35:27
			Because Iman is not divided into branches, according
		
00:35:27 --> 00:35:27
			to them.
		
00:35:28 --> 00:35:31
			There's no such thing as the branches of
		
00:35:31 --> 00:35:31
			Iman.
		
00:35:31 --> 00:35:33
			There's no such thing as Iman increasing and
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:34
			decreasing.
		
00:35:35 --> 00:35:37
			So my Iman and your Iman, according to
		
00:35:37 --> 00:35:39
			them, is like the Iman of Abu Bakr
		
00:35:39 --> 00:35:40
			and Umar, etc.
		
00:35:42 --> 00:35:47
			So you see how these two groups, they
		
00:35:47 --> 00:35:47
			went astray.
		
00:35:48 --> 00:35:49
			And Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama'ah, they said
		
00:35:49 --> 00:35:49
			no.
		
00:35:52 --> 00:35:56
			Look at this hadith and many other proofs
		
00:35:56 --> 00:35:57
			from the Quran and Sunnah that show us
		
00:35:57 --> 00:36:00
			that Iman is something that goes up and
		
00:36:00 --> 00:36:00
			down.
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:06
			It can go very high, and it could
		
00:36:06 --> 00:36:07
			hit rock bottom.
		
00:36:08 --> 00:36:11
			As long as the essence of Iman is
		
00:36:11 --> 00:36:14
			there, that a person is a believer, and
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:17
			he does the very bare minimum along with
		
00:36:17 --> 00:36:19
			his sins, then we consider him to be
		
00:36:19 --> 00:36:20
			a weak believer.
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:22
			A weak believer.
		
00:36:22 --> 00:36:22
			Weak in Iman.
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:27
			And here in this hadith, we see how
		
00:36:27 --> 00:36:35
			the Prophet ﷺ brought together all three aspects
		
00:36:35 --> 00:36:37
			of Iman that we spoke about.
		
00:36:38 --> 00:36:43
			So, a statement with the tongue, that is
		
00:36:43 --> 00:36:44
			to say la ilaha illallah.
		
00:36:45 --> 00:36:48
			And actions with the body parts, removing something
		
00:36:48 --> 00:36:50
			harmful from the way.
		
00:36:54 --> 00:36:57
			And the third, what is the third?
		
00:36:58 --> 00:36:59
			Al-Hayaa, modesty.
		
00:37:00 --> 00:37:02
			And modesty is an action of the heart.
		
00:37:04 --> 00:37:06
			Modesty is something that is in the heart.
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:12
			And perhaps the reason for mentioning modesty instead
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:14
			of mentioning any other action of the heart,
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:19
			is because if someone has modesty and shyness,
		
00:37:20 --> 00:37:25
			then he'll do everything that is pleasing to
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:25
			Allah.
		
00:37:27 --> 00:37:31
			And he'll never do something that he feels
		
00:37:31 --> 00:37:37
			embarrassed to do in the sight of Allah.
		
00:37:37 --> 00:37:45
			That's why the Prophet ﷺ says, If you
		
00:37:45 --> 00:37:47
			don't have any modesty, if you don't have
		
00:37:47 --> 00:37:49
			any shyness, then do whatever you want.
		
00:37:51 --> 00:37:55
			If someone doesn't have a sense of shyness,
		
00:37:55 --> 00:37:59
			then he'll do whatever he wants.
		
00:38:00 --> 00:38:02
			And there's nothing that's going to prevent him.
		
00:38:04 --> 00:38:06
			And so this shows us the importance of
		
00:38:06 --> 00:38:11
			having Al-Hayaa, this sense of shyness, and
		
00:38:11 --> 00:38:17
			how this is basically a part of Iman.
		
00:38:17 --> 00:38:20
			It is a part of Iman, as the
		
00:38:20 --> 00:38:24
			Prophet ﷺ tells us here in this hadith.
		
00:38:30 --> 00:38:34
			Now some of the scholars have actually tried
		
00:38:34 --> 00:38:39
			to count all of these branches of Iman
		
00:38:41 --> 00:38:43
			that the Prophet ﷺ mentions here, 60 to
		
00:38:43 --> 00:38:44
			70.
		
00:38:44 --> 00:38:49
			There's a book by Imam al-Bayhaqi called
		
00:38:49 --> 00:38:50
			Shu'ab al-Iman.
		
00:38:50 --> 00:38:54
			Shu'ab al-Iman, the branches of Iman.
		
00:38:55 --> 00:38:59
			And he lists all of these branches of
		
00:38:59 --> 00:38:59
			Iman.
		
00:39:00 --> 00:39:04
			It's a very extensive work, several volumes, in
		
00:39:04 --> 00:39:09
			which he just brings ahadith, narrations, talking about
		
00:39:09 --> 00:39:10
			these branches of Iman.
		
00:39:15 --> 00:39:18
			And the Shaykh himself, Shaykh Abdur Rahman al
		
00:39:18 --> 00:39:22
			-Sa'di, whose book we're going through, he has
		
00:39:22 --> 00:39:27
			a book called Shajarat al-Iman, the Tree
		
00:39:27 --> 00:39:32
			of Iman, in which he talks about Iman
		
00:39:32 --> 00:39:32
			and its branches.
		
00:39:34 --> 00:39:37
			And he calls it the Tree of Iman
		
00:39:37 --> 00:39:40
			because Allah mentions that in the Qur'an.
		
00:39:41 --> 00:39:46
			Allah mentions how the good word, which refers
		
00:39:46 --> 00:39:51
			to the Kalima of At-Tawheed, it is
		
00:39:51 --> 00:39:51
			like a good tree.
		
00:39:53 --> 00:39:57
			It is like a good tree whose roots
		
00:39:57 --> 00:40:01
			are firm in the ground, and its branches
		
00:40:01 --> 00:40:05
			are sticking high in the sky, and this
		
00:40:05 --> 00:40:08
			tree is always providing good fruit at all
		
00:40:08 --> 00:40:08
			times.
		
00:40:10 --> 00:40:12
			And so this refers to the Iman in
		
00:40:12 --> 00:40:12
			the heart of the believer.
		
00:40:13 --> 00:40:17
			It's rooted deep in his heart, and the
		
00:40:17 --> 00:40:21
			branches extending out, this refers to his good
		
00:40:21 --> 00:40:24
			deeds, going up to the heavens, being accepted
		
00:40:24 --> 00:40:28
			by Allah, and giving fruit all the time,
		
00:40:28 --> 00:40:32
			that refers to the believer, who is always
		
00:40:32 --> 00:40:34
			doing good deeds in every state.
		
00:40:35 --> 00:40:37
			He's always doing good deeds.
		
00:40:37 --> 00:40:38
			Why?
		
00:40:38 --> 00:40:39
			Where does that come from?
		
00:40:39 --> 00:40:40
			It comes from the Iman in his heart.
		
00:40:40 --> 00:40:44
			It comes from the Iman in his heart.
		
00:40:50 --> 00:40:51
			And so this is where we'll stop for
		
00:40:51 --> 00:40:51
			today, inshallah.
		
00:40:52 --> 00:40:52
			Any questions?
		
00:41:01 --> 00:41:06
			So Allah Azzawajal says, أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ الْضَرَبَ
		
00:41:06 --> 00:41:14
			اللَّهُ مَثَلًا كَلِمَةً طَيِّبَةً كَشَجَرَةٍ طَيِّبَةً Do you
		
00:41:14 --> 00:41:17
			not see how Allah presents a parable of
		
00:41:17 --> 00:41:19
			a good word like a good tree?
		
00:41:21 --> 00:41:26
			أَصْلُهَا تَابِتْ وَفَرْعُهَا فِي السَّمَاءِ Its roots are
		
00:41:26 --> 00:41:29
			deep in the ground, and its branches are
		
00:41:29 --> 00:41:30
			high in the sky.
		
00:41:31 --> 00:41:34
			So the roots being firm in the ground,
		
00:41:34 --> 00:41:38
			this is the Iman being rooted firmly in
		
00:41:38 --> 00:41:39
			the heart of the believer.
		
00:41:42 --> 00:41:46
			And the branches extending into the sky, this
		
00:41:46 --> 00:41:48
			refers to the good deeds of the believer
		
00:41:48 --> 00:41:51
			being accepted by Allah, going up to Allah.
		
00:41:51 --> 00:41:57
			As we know, Allah Azzawajal says, يَصْعَدُ الْكَلِمُ
		
00:41:57 --> 00:42:03
			الطَّيِّبِ وَالْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ يَرْفَعُهُ The good word goes
		
00:42:03 --> 00:42:05
			up to Allah, and the good deeds elevate
		
00:42:05 --> 00:42:06
			that.
		
00:42:10 --> 00:42:15
			تُؤْتِي أُكُلَهَا كُلَّ حِينٍ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهَا This tree
		
00:42:15 --> 00:42:19
			is constantly providing fruits by the permission of
		
00:42:19 --> 00:42:21
			Allah, constantly, at all times.
		
00:42:22 --> 00:42:24
			So that refers to the good deeds, the
		
00:42:24 --> 00:42:27
			believer, who has this kind of Iman in
		
00:42:27 --> 00:42:30
			his heart, it's going to push him to
		
00:42:30 --> 00:42:32
			always be doing good deeds, at all times,
		
00:42:33 --> 00:42:34
			in all states.
		
00:42:35 --> 00:42:37
			And anyways, this is a parable of the
		
00:42:37 --> 00:42:39
			Qur'an that we're going to come to,
		
00:42:40 --> 00:42:42
			insha'Allah, as we're going through the parables
		
00:42:42 --> 00:42:47
			of the Qur'an on Wednesdays, so we're
		
00:42:47 --> 00:42:49
			going to be discussing that insha'Allah when
		
00:42:49 --> 00:42:49
			we get to it.
		
00:42:56 --> 00:42:58
			Any other questions?
		
00:43:38 --> 00:43:40
			So, if they embrace Islam?
		
00:43:57 --> 00:43:59
			So, person A is a Muslim or a
		
00:43:59 --> 00:43:59
			non-Muslim?
		
00:43:59 --> 00:44:00
			Non-Muslim.
		
00:44:00 --> 00:44:03
			A non-Muslim, but then became Muslim.
		
00:44:07 --> 00:44:14
			So, basically, we didn't mention this, but the
		
00:44:14 --> 00:44:16
			Shaykh also, he mentions this issue.
		
00:44:16 --> 00:44:20
			Basically, he says that when it comes to
		
00:44:20 --> 00:44:24
			the rights of others, the rights of others
		
00:44:24 --> 00:44:28
			are not waived, even a non-Muslim, if
		
00:44:28 --> 00:44:29
			he accepts Islam.
		
00:44:30 --> 00:44:34
			The rights of others in terms of wealth
		
00:44:34 --> 00:44:39
			and other injustices, he has to return whatever
		
00:44:39 --> 00:44:41
			he took wrongfully from others.
		
00:44:43 --> 00:44:46
			So, just becoming Muslim does not waive that.
		
00:44:47 --> 00:44:50
			If he stole something and someone is coming
		
00:44:50 --> 00:44:51
			seeking justice, he has to give it back,
		
00:44:52 --> 00:44:54
			and he's going to be held responsible for
		
00:44:54 --> 00:44:54
			that.
		
00:44:58 --> 00:45:00
			Because this is related to the rights of
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:04
			others, and the rights of others, this is
		
00:45:04 --> 00:45:05
			their right.
		
00:45:05 --> 00:45:07
			As for the right of Allah, Allah forgives,
		
00:45:08 --> 00:45:08
			right?
		
00:45:09 --> 00:45:11
			But the rights of others, if they forgive,
		
00:45:12 --> 00:45:12
			then Allah will forgive.
		
00:46:06 --> 00:46:07
			No, no.
		
00:46:08 --> 00:46:10
			Yeah, these are du'as that the Prophet
		
00:46:10 --> 00:46:13
			ﷺ taught us in general that we should
		
00:46:13 --> 00:46:16
			make, because in the end of the day,
		
00:46:16 --> 00:46:18
			you're still putting it in the hands of
		
00:46:18 --> 00:46:18
			Allah.
		
00:46:19 --> 00:46:23
			So, yeah, I mean, even if life is
		
00:46:23 --> 00:46:26
			going well for you, you still don't know.
		
00:46:26 --> 00:46:29
			Maybe it's better for me to be dying
		
00:46:29 --> 00:46:29
			now.
		
00:46:32 --> 00:46:34
			Maybe down the line I'm not going to
		
00:46:34 --> 00:46:36
			be as good as I am right now.
		
00:46:38 --> 00:46:41
			We also have the du'a of Witr.
		
00:46:42 --> 00:46:47
			وَقِنِي شَرَّ مَا قَضَيْتُ Oh Allah, prevent whatever
		
00:46:47 --> 00:46:50
			evil you have destined, decreed for me.
		
00:46:53 --> 00:46:58
			These are general du'as that we're asking
		
00:46:58 --> 00:47:01
			Allah to protect us, and we're asking Allah
		
00:47:01 --> 00:47:04
			in this case that if it's better for
		
00:47:04 --> 00:47:05
			me to live, let me live.
		
00:47:05 --> 00:47:10
			And if not, then, you know, Allah knows
		
00:47:10 --> 00:47:11
			best.
		
00:47:12 --> 00:47:12
			Any other questions?
		
00:47:18 --> 00:47:19
			Okay, yeah.
		
00:47:36 --> 00:47:38
			No, la ilaha illallah, qawl al-lisan.
		
00:47:47 --> 00:47:48
			Amal al-qalb.
		
00:47:49 --> 00:47:52
			I mean, there are different categorizations.
		
00:47:54 --> 00:47:57
			So, generally, the Salaf would say, الإيمان قول
		
00:47:57 --> 00:48:03
			وعمل Iman is statement and action.
		
00:48:04 --> 00:48:11
			But then, other scholars would take those two
		
00:48:11 --> 00:48:14
			categories and further explain them.
		
00:48:14 --> 00:48:22
			So, qawl is both qawl al-lisan and
		
00:48:22 --> 00:48:24
			qawl al-qalb.
		
00:48:25 --> 00:48:26
			Right?
		
00:48:27 --> 00:48:31
			So, it is the Iman in the heart.
		
00:48:32 --> 00:48:34
			It is a statement of the heart and
		
00:48:34 --> 00:48:35
			also a statement on the tongue.
		
00:48:37 --> 00:48:40
			And Amal, actually, is three.
		
00:48:44 --> 00:48:51
			So, Amal is عمل القلب وعمل اللسان وعمل
		
00:48:51 --> 00:48:58
			الجوارح So, you have عمل of the heart.
		
00:48:59 --> 00:49:07
			For example, حياء, توكل, الرجاء, الخوف from Allah,
		
00:49:08 --> 00:49:08
			etc.
		
00:49:09 --> 00:49:10
			These are all actions of the heart.
		
00:49:10 --> 00:49:19
			أعمال القلوب عمل اللسان الذكر الذكر, قراءة القرآن
		
00:49:22 --> 00:49:27
			and عمل الجوارح, the Amal of the body
		
00:49:27 --> 00:49:27
			parts.
		
00:49:28 --> 00:49:32
			صلاة, إماطة الأذى عن الطريق, etc.
		
00:49:36 --> 00:49:38
			Any other questions?
		
00:49:47 --> 00:49:48
			Okay, we'll stop here, inshallah.
		
00:49:49 --> 00:49:51
			سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك أشهد أن لا إله إلا
		
00:49:51 --> 00:49:55
			أنت أستغفرك وأتوب إليك وصلي اللهم وسلم على
		
00:49:55 --> 00:49:59
			نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين والسلام عليكم
		
00:49:59 --> 00:50:00
			ورحمة الله وبركاته
