My brothers and sisters, we come to the

00:00:14--> 00:00:16

3rd word that Allah

00:00:16--> 00:00:18

used in this beautiful

00:00:18--> 00:00:19

where he said,

00:00:34--> 00:00:34

Allah

00:00:36--> 00:00:39

said and from his ayat and from his

00:00:39--> 00:00:41

signs is that he has created

00:00:42--> 00:00:45

from among you your mates

00:00:45--> 00:00:47

so that you may find tranquility

00:00:47--> 00:00:48

in one another

00:00:49--> 00:00:52

and he placed between you love

00:00:52--> 00:00:54

and mercy, Rahma.

00:00:54--> 00:00:57

In this, there are signs for people who

00:00:57--> 00:00:57

reflect.

00:00:58--> 00:00:59

The thing I want to remind myself and

00:00:59--> 00:01:01

you is this word Rahma.

00:01:02--> 00:01:03

What is the meaning of rahma?

00:01:04--> 00:01:04

Rahma

00:01:05--> 00:01:07

is the quality of arrahman.

00:01:08--> 00:01:09

It is the quality of Allah

00:01:10--> 00:01:12

himself. It is the quality of mercy.

00:01:12--> 00:01:14

It is the basis of forgiveness.

00:01:15--> 00:01:16

Maghfirah

00:01:16--> 00:01:19

comes out of rahma, out of mercy.

00:01:20--> 00:01:23

And, we expect this and we ask this,

00:01:23--> 00:01:25

we beg Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala for this

00:01:25--> 00:01:26

for ourselves.

00:01:27--> 00:01:29

Rasul Rasool Rasoolam said the one who is

00:01:29--> 00:01:31

merciful to the people on the earth and

00:01:31--> 00:01:34

the the one on above the heavens will

00:01:34--> 00:01:35

be merciful to him.

00:01:36--> 00:01:38

The meaning of the hadith, Rasool Allah SWALLAM

00:01:38--> 00:01:40

said the person who is merciful to others

00:01:40--> 00:01:43

in this life, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will

00:01:43--> 00:01:45

be merciful to that person

00:01:45--> 00:01:47

in the hereafter. We ask Allah Subhanahu Wa

00:01:47--> 00:01:50

Ta'ala for his mercy. So let

00:01:50--> 00:01:53

us begin with being merciful to one another,

00:01:53--> 00:01:53

especially

00:01:54--> 00:01:57

the person most deserving of mercy is your

00:01:57--> 00:01:59

spouse, is your husband, is your wife.

00:02:00--> 00:02:02

Now, the important thing to understand as far

00:02:02--> 00:02:03

as mercy is concerned,

00:02:04--> 00:02:06

is mercy is not good for good.

00:02:06--> 00:02:08

Good for good is justice.

00:02:08--> 00:02:10

Mercy is good for bad.

00:02:12--> 00:02:14

Now the reason I say that is because

00:02:14--> 00:02:15

sometimes people say,

00:02:15--> 00:02:17

oh, what do you see? He did this

00:02:17--> 00:02:18

or she did that.

00:02:19--> 00:02:20

The reason is

00:02:20--> 00:02:22

you why do you forgive because they did

00:02:22--> 00:02:24

that? If they had not done anything, there

00:02:24--> 00:02:26

was no there was no need for forgiveness.

00:02:26--> 00:02:28

They needed they need not have asked forgiveness

00:02:28--> 00:02:30

and you need not have forgiven them because

00:02:30--> 00:02:30

nothing happened.

00:02:31--> 00:02:34

But because they did something which they should

00:02:34--> 00:02:36

not have done because they did something wrong,

00:02:36--> 00:02:38

because they hurt you, because they,

00:02:38--> 00:02:40

did not give you your dues, that is

00:02:40--> 00:02:42

the reason why there is even a place

00:02:42--> 00:02:44

or a a reason for mercy.

00:02:45--> 00:02:47

So that is why it is very important

00:02:47--> 00:02:49

to remember that and to be merciful.

00:02:49--> 00:02:51

And remember that Allah will

00:02:51--> 00:02:54

be merciful to you if you are merciful

00:02:54--> 00:02:56

to the other person.

00:03:00--> 00:03:02

Our little sister, it is very important. Click

00:03:02--> 00:03:03

click. Your hearing is by camera.

00:03:05--> 00:03:05

There are,

00:03:06--> 00:03:08

gold finches on the peach tree,

00:03:09--> 00:03:12

which, that's a beautiful picture of the peach

00:03:12--> 00:03:14

flowers and the goldfish sitting there. So I'm

00:03:14--> 00:03:17

taking pictures as I am talking to you.

00:03:18--> 00:03:20

So the the thing about mercy

00:03:21--> 00:03:22

is Allah.

00:03:22--> 00:03:24

This is one of his qualities. And Allah

00:03:24--> 00:03:25

said I put this between

00:03:26--> 00:03:27

the spouses.

00:03:27--> 00:03:28

Now where is this useful?

00:03:29--> 00:03:31

As I mentioned to you, mercy is

00:03:31--> 00:03:34

the place for mercy is on in your

00:03:34--> 00:03:35

on your in your daily life

00:03:36--> 00:03:37

as you live your life,

00:03:38--> 00:03:40

the chances for and the time to be

00:03:40--> 00:03:42

merciful is on a daily basis,

00:03:43--> 00:03:44

especially

00:03:44--> 00:03:45

when something is wrong.

00:03:46--> 00:03:48

That is a place for special mercy,

00:03:49--> 00:03:51

even more mercy than you would normally have

00:03:51--> 00:03:51

shown.

00:03:52--> 00:03:54

Right? 2 things. 3rd thing is a place

00:03:54--> 00:03:57

for mercy is when as life passes,

00:03:58--> 00:04:00

things pass, we get older

00:04:00--> 00:04:01

and

00:04:01--> 00:04:03

you find that your spouse

00:04:04--> 00:04:05

is unable

00:04:05--> 00:04:08

to do what he or she could do

00:04:08--> 00:04:10

or used to do

00:04:10--> 00:04:11

when they were younger.

00:04:11--> 00:04:13

And that is the time when you still

00:04:13--> 00:04:15

honor them, you still treat them with

00:04:15--> 00:04:18

kindness, you still treat them with,

00:04:18--> 00:04:20

with with, with affection,

00:04:20--> 00:04:22

You still treat them like they are the

00:04:22--> 00:04:24

king or the queen of the world because

00:04:24--> 00:04:27

of what you receive from them

00:04:27--> 00:04:29

when they were able to give it to

00:04:29--> 00:04:29

you.

00:04:30--> 00:04:32

Now, this is something this is something that

00:04:32--> 00:04:32

sometimes

00:04:33--> 00:04:35

we find people forget. Right? Because this is

00:04:35--> 00:04:36

a it is human nature.

00:04:37--> 00:04:40

It is human nature. And in in a

00:04:40--> 00:04:42

way, this is something that Allah have put

00:04:42--> 00:04:43

inside a human being,

00:04:44--> 00:04:44

which

00:04:45--> 00:04:48

guarantees progress and going forward, which is that

00:04:48--> 00:04:51

people get tired of or people get used

00:04:51--> 00:04:52

to things.

00:04:52--> 00:04:54

Something which is new

00:04:54--> 00:04:56

is that feeling of newness

00:04:58--> 00:04:59

is by definition

00:04:59--> 00:05:02

when it is new. The same thing a

00:05:02--> 00:05:02

day later,

00:05:03--> 00:05:05

a week later, a month later, a year

00:05:05--> 00:05:05

later.

00:05:07--> 00:05:10

Technically, maybe the same thing, but you get

00:05:10--> 00:05:12

used to it. You no longer enjoy it.

00:05:13--> 00:05:16

You no longer, you know, feel so fantastic

00:05:16--> 00:05:16

in it,

00:05:17--> 00:05:19

when you use it, when you when you

00:05:19--> 00:05:22

experience it, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th time. You

00:05:22--> 00:05:24

get bored. You get used to it. It

00:05:24--> 00:05:25

becomes routine.

00:05:25--> 00:05:26

Now the same thing

00:05:27--> 00:05:28

also happens in marriages.

00:05:28--> 00:05:29

So once

00:05:30--> 00:05:32

you have been married for some time,

00:05:33--> 00:05:35

then there is this tendency of taking things

00:05:35--> 00:05:36

for granted

00:05:36--> 00:05:37

and so forth.

00:05:37--> 00:05:40

Now that is to be something to be

00:05:40--> 00:05:43

avoided and something to be very careful not

00:05:43--> 00:05:45

to fall into that trap.

00:05:46--> 00:05:48

Finally, the mercy that I mentioned to you

00:05:48--> 00:05:49

is when

00:05:50--> 00:05:51

a person is

00:05:51--> 00:05:53

not doing what they should be doing,

00:05:54--> 00:05:55

or not acting in the way that they

00:05:55--> 00:05:56

should be acting.

00:05:58--> 00:06:01

Especially with women, what happens is during the

00:06:01--> 00:06:02

time of their periods,

00:06:03--> 00:06:06

they go through this period of, you know,

00:06:09--> 00:06:12

of of emotional turmoil. It's basically

00:06:12--> 00:06:15

very dying and testing time for the woman.

00:06:16--> 00:06:18

Men cannot even be expected to understand that

00:06:18--> 00:06:20

because Allah has

00:06:21--> 00:06:23

has not afflicted us with that. But for

00:06:23--> 00:06:25

the woman, this is an affliction. It is

00:06:25--> 00:06:27

it is something which is difficult,

00:06:27--> 00:06:29

and she's already going through that. So she

00:06:29--> 00:06:31

will be more irritable. She will be more,

00:06:32--> 00:06:33

you know, cranky and,

00:06:34--> 00:06:37

more emotional and more tending to maybe in

00:06:37--> 00:06:40

some cases, tending to cry, in some cases,

00:06:40--> 00:06:43

tending to get angry about nothing and so

00:06:43--> 00:06:45

forth. And it is therefore expected,

00:06:46--> 00:06:49

of the man to understand this.

00:06:49--> 00:06:50

To

00:06:50--> 00:06:52

make sure that you

00:06:54--> 00:06:56

that you don't treat,

00:06:56--> 00:06:57

the person with,

00:06:58--> 00:07:01

you know, that you don't meet the

00:07:01--> 00:07:04

irritability with irritability. You don't meet the irritation

00:07:04--> 00:07:06

with irritation. This is very important to keep

00:07:06--> 00:07:07

in mind,

00:07:09--> 00:07:10

and to have patience.

00:07:11--> 00:07:12

Again, as I mentioned in the in the

00:07:12--> 00:07:13

last,

00:07:15--> 00:07:18

selective memory. Remember the good, forget the bad.

00:07:19--> 00:07:20

Selective perception.

00:07:21--> 00:07:22

Just ignore.

00:07:22--> 00:07:24

The one of the you know, somebody sent

00:07:24--> 00:07:26

me this lovely little story.

00:07:28--> 00:07:29

Again, these are these are all teaching stories,

00:07:29--> 00:07:30

not necessarily true.

00:07:31--> 00:07:31

This,

00:07:32--> 00:07:33

girl goes to

00:07:34--> 00:07:36

yeah. Newly married girl. She goes to her,

00:07:37--> 00:07:39

to a doctor, to go to a psychiatrist

00:07:40--> 00:07:42

and says that my husband has an anger

00:07:42--> 00:07:44

problem. So he said, describe for me. He

00:07:44--> 00:07:45

said, oh, you know, this is what happens.

00:07:45--> 00:07:47

I I I say this and so on

00:07:47--> 00:07:48

and so forth, and he gets

00:07:48--> 00:07:50

irritated. He gets upset and,

00:07:51--> 00:07:53

whatnot whatnot. So she's,

00:07:53--> 00:07:54

you know, explaining her,

00:07:55--> 00:07:57

predicament and problem to this psychiatrist.

00:07:58--> 00:07:59

And then he gets more and more angry

00:07:59--> 00:08:01

and, you know, I just can't calm him

00:08:01--> 00:08:04

down and so forth. So the psychiatrist so

00:08:04--> 00:08:06

what shall I do? So the psychiatrist tells

00:08:06--> 00:08:07

that,

00:08:07--> 00:08:09

she she said, can can this be cured?

00:08:09--> 00:08:10

He said, of course, it can be cured.

00:08:11--> 00:08:12

It's very easy. I will,

00:08:13--> 00:08:15

I will teach you the way in which

00:08:15--> 00:08:16

you can cure this.

00:08:16--> 00:08:18

So she said, what must I do? She

00:08:18--> 00:08:20

says, every time your husband

00:08:21--> 00:08:21

gets

00:08:21--> 00:08:24

angry, he says, take some water in your

00:08:24--> 00:08:24

mouth

00:08:25--> 00:08:26

and swill.

00:08:27--> 00:08:27

Right?

00:08:28--> 00:08:29

Like we say,

00:08:31--> 00:08:33

So he said every time he gets angry,

00:08:33--> 00:08:35

take the water in your mouth and swell.

00:08:36--> 00:08:37

She said, how long? He said, just keep

00:08:37--> 00:08:39

swelling. Keep swimming and swimming and swimming and

00:08:39--> 00:08:41

swimming and swimming until

00:08:41--> 00:08:43

his anger dissipates.

00:08:43--> 00:08:45

And you will find he will cool down.

00:08:46--> 00:08:48

He will cool absolutely cool down, and

00:08:49--> 00:08:50

he will be fine.

00:08:51--> 00:08:53

But you have to keep swimming until that

00:08:53--> 00:08:54

happens.

00:08:55--> 00:08:57

No long no matter how long it takes,

00:08:57--> 00:08:59

swill the water and keep swilling the water

00:08:59--> 00:09:01

until he cools down.

00:09:01--> 00:09:03

So she thinks to herself, well, this is,

00:09:03--> 00:09:04

you know, simple enough.

00:09:05--> 00:09:07

You know, how how complicated is swilling water?

00:09:07--> 00:09:07

So,

00:09:08--> 00:09:10

let me do that. So she does that.

00:09:10--> 00:09:10

And,

00:09:11--> 00:09:13

so she's done the moment he gets angry.

00:09:13--> 00:09:15

So she maybe she said something or whatnot.

00:09:15--> 00:09:17

He got angry. He she's takes his water

00:09:17--> 00:09:19

into her mouth. She's swilling it and swilling

00:09:19--> 00:09:20

it, and she's,

00:09:22--> 00:09:23

until he comes down.

00:09:24--> 00:09:25

Finally,

00:09:26--> 00:09:28

one day she meets the doctor again and

00:09:28--> 00:09:30

she says, you showed me this

00:09:30--> 00:09:33

wonderful thing and it really worked and thank

00:09:33--> 00:09:34

you so much for for teaching me.

00:09:35--> 00:09:36

But what is it? You know, I mean,

00:09:36--> 00:09:38

is it what what that what happens? What's

00:09:38--> 00:09:41

the psychological process? He said psychological process is

00:09:41--> 00:09:41

silence.

00:09:42--> 00:09:43

Nothing else.

00:09:43--> 00:09:46

The thing which happens with anger, especially with

00:09:46--> 00:09:48

spouses, mostly is he says something, you say

00:09:48--> 00:09:50

something, you say something, you say something. And

00:09:50--> 00:09:52

there's a big competition now of who's saying

00:09:52--> 00:09:55

who and who's saying what. And that is

00:09:55--> 00:09:57

what is the worst thing, because this is

00:09:57--> 00:10:00

what will completely destroy the whole thing. So

00:10:00--> 00:10:00

he says,

00:10:01--> 00:10:04

just silent. Ignore. Ignore. Ignore. I mean, if

00:10:04--> 00:10:06

somebody is behaving in an irrational manner, why

00:10:06--> 00:10:08

must you respond to that? Right? It's

00:10:08--> 00:10:10

it is even more irrational for you to

00:10:10--> 00:10:12

respond to that because this person is already

00:10:12--> 00:10:14

being irrational. Now you're being even more irrational.

00:10:15--> 00:10:16

So why why would you do that?

00:10:17--> 00:10:20

That is the the thing about this. Keep

00:10:20--> 00:10:20

quiet.

00:10:21--> 00:10:23

Just keep quiet. Right?

00:10:25--> 00:10:27

It's like somebody said to someone else, the

00:10:27--> 00:10:29

other day, what is it about the word

00:10:29--> 00:10:30

shut up that you don't understand?

00:10:31--> 00:10:32

But that's very true.

00:10:33--> 00:10:35

So I'm just saying that, you know, jokingly,

00:10:37--> 00:10:39

but it jokes about it is so true

00:10:39--> 00:10:42

that the power of silence. Just keep quiet.

00:10:42--> 00:10:44

Don't say anything, and you will find that

00:10:44--> 00:10:46

the anger or whatnot will go away.

00:10:47--> 00:10:49

So very, very important, mercy

00:10:50--> 00:10:53

for the good times you had, for the

00:10:54--> 00:10:57

service you received, for the help you got,

00:10:57--> 00:10:58

for the comfort you got.

00:10:59--> 00:10:59

And,

00:11:00--> 00:11:02

you do that even when you are not

00:11:02--> 00:11:04

getting it because this is the,

00:11:05--> 00:11:07

meaning of honor. Honor is to

00:11:08--> 00:11:11

honor what was given to you in the

00:11:11--> 00:11:11

past.

00:11:12--> 00:11:15

And that is the element of mercy. We

00:11:15--> 00:11:17

ask Allah to make us merciful,

00:11:17--> 00:11:19

and we ask Allah to therefore treat us

00:11:19--> 00:11:20

with mercy.

00:11:20--> 00:11:23

Allah would treat us with mercy,

00:11:20--> 00:11:23

Allah would treat us with mercy,
