I mean,
may Allah subhanaw taala open the hearing channels of our hearts to
his remembrance to His words and
impressing our hearts the true meaning.
The one that trance
the one that
changes the hearts to what Allah smart Allah loves and is pleased
with which is transformational.
We declared our bankruptcy in front of Allah subhanaw taala
and we ask Allah subhanaw taala to take us by our forelocks
to where he is pleased with us.
We ask Allah subhanaw taala to honor us in spite of our
actions, which lead us to disgrace
that Allah subhanaw taala look at our poverty or spiritual poverty
and enrich us
and may last one Atala remove us from Miss guidance and bring us
into guidance. And the best guidance is the words of Allah
subhanaw taala.
And the teachings and explanation of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
salam.
So as we have just summarized that Allah subhanaw taala takes the
oath of known and on the column and testifies to
the sanctity of Rasulullah, sallallahu alayhi salam and his
sanity, that all the accusations that were made against him are
false.
And Allah subhanaw taala talks about and certifies that
Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihe Salam is on the highest pedestal of good
luck. Okay, anybody can tell you, you know, people complement each
other, you are so generous, you're so kind, you're so helpful, and
you feel good about it. Now imagine if Allah tells you, that
you are the best in of all, in all characteristics, How reassuring it
must have been for rasool Allah SallAllahu sallam, especially with
all the accusations and insinuations that were being made
against him.
And then Allah subhanaw taala goes on to say that you will come to
know soon and they will also come to know who is the left turn who
is the one who is truly insane. And Allah knows those who are who
have deviated from the right path and those who are on
the right guidance.
Next I Allah subhanaw taala says, fella Toto, they been Therefore,
do not obey, do not follow those who are liars, those who deny the
truth, those who deny Allah, those who deny the kalam of Allah, those
who deny the Accra because those are the main things that are going
on the theme at this time. So Allah subhanaw taala is telling
the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam do not obeyed.
Now, the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam obey them.
No, he was not obeying them. And as we said, it's always
to be translated for us. This is not just a column for 1400 years.
He's telling the prophets do not obey these people who deny. So in
today's application, not only does it mean that when you come across
people who deny who ridicule Islam, you do not obey them. You
do not support them in any way you do not befriend them. You do not
have any resemblance with these people.
And the character traits, okay, because you will be identified on
the Day of Judgment with the kind of people you kept company with.
Okay. So these are the people who denied the truth, such as a Bucha
*
subject such as ethnicity ethnicity, such as Al Walid Abner
Madeira. And we talked about that.
And these are people who knew the truth, I think I told you last
time the story of at night they used to go and listen, did I tell
you that last time, they used to listen, and they used to tell each
other they're not going to come yet they used to go because the
words were so powerful. And their logic was that if we give them
this, accept this message, then this branch of the math will take
precedence over us because we cannot bring a prophet to match.
So Allah Subhana Allah is telling us and telling the Prophet
salallahu Alaihe Salam do not obey them.
He says, What do LAO to the he knew for you the Henault
should not obey them because they wish
what does what do means they love they desire that you to the new
that you compromise. So
for you the unknown, then they will compromise. In other words,
they have no principles, they have no true belief, they are willing
to compromise their belief. So they want to make a deal with you.
Okay. And the deals were offered to the Prophet salallahu alayhi
salam early on, as some of you might remember.
When they came to the Prophet salon, they came to him he didn't
listen, they went to his guardian and uncle Abu Talib, who was the
chief of this branch of Banu Hashim and said, you know, tell
your nephew, they came as a group of people of the leaders, but 1015
of them among which was Abu jehlen and Autobahn Shaybah. And all of
these people rallied. And they came and they said, tell your
nephew, don't sort of say anything derogatory about our gods
to make a deal.
So the prophets are listed them continued his Dawa, his that was
not focused on, you know, sort of calling names to their gods, but
the Tao of the hate of calling them away from that to Allah
subhanaw taala.
Then they saw one day the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, making
Tawaf so some of them came to the Prophet sallallahu sallam said,
Look, we have no problem. We you have been, you are born here, you
are well respected, you're honorable, let's do this. You
worship our God, and we worship your God. So there is no problem.
This is compromise. So Allah subhanaw taala revealed when this
proposal was made of compromise, Allah subhanaw taala revealed with
Surah
Kalia, you held Catherine, La Habra, domata that tell them that
you worship your God, I worship my god you want worship mine, I want
worship and that's it for you as your dean for me is my thing. So
that didn't work. Then they went back to Abuja to Abu Talib.
And said to him that, look, you're not stopping your nephew. If you
don't stop him, because he is causing problems for us. Then we
will do whatever it takes to stop. Now this was a threat.
So I will tell you, all man, he calls Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam
he said nephew in my old age, why do you want to get me into
trouble? I love you. I support you. But I am from them. And he
continued to worship but they were worshiping. But so why don't you
back off essentially
stop. The Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam in response to that proposal
made that famous statement that my uncle if they were to put the sun
in my right hand and the moon in my left hand, you know, I would
not give up my dad. Okay.
Then they approach the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam again, and
what about when Robbie I came and said
let's do this.
If you're looking for recognition, we will make you the leader of
maca.
If you're looking for wealth, we will give enough money that you
will become the richest among us.
If you want to be a king, we will make you king of Makkah.
And in some narrations if you are looking for women, we will get get
you the best women of Makkah to be your wives
Of course, the Prophet sallallaahu Salam had only one answer that I
have one message.
Then one of them came to the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam,
but the same thing in response to which the Prophet salallahu Alaihe
Salam recited Surah Sajida.
And
what Robin Robbia came that time, he was one of the leaders, he said
to the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, same thing, you are an
honorable man, you're causing difficulties.
Let us compromise.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam, when he had finished all of
his offerings, including the offerings like you worship, we
will worship our gods one year, you will wish when he denied that
he said, Okay, you worship, we will worship your God 11 months
when you can worship our God, one month, we will worship your gods
364 days you worship one God, you're making deals because they
have no principles, no real faith. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
salam denies all of that. And when he was finished all of his
offering the prophets of Allah al Islam, read to him recited to him
Surah Sajida Alif Lam Meem saija. And when it came to according to
some narrations at the end of the 13th to Iowa, when Allah subhanaw
taala says that, and if you don't accept, then be sure that the
other that came to Arden samode will come to you. And that that
according to some narrators, Akbar put his hands on the mouth of
Rasulullah Salallahu Salam because he got afraid, he said, Don't say
anymore. And he went back.
And the people said to him, you know, your face has changed when
you've come back.
He said, I have heard something that I have never heard before.
Because we should read this at some point, it's very powerful is
and he said My advice to you is, leave him alone.
If the other Arabs want to come and kill him, his blood is not in
your hands, your problem is solved. But if he's a true
prophet, then we'll be in good condition, but they did not listen
to him. So, this is the kind of compromise Allah subhanaw taala
saying that do not compromise and this compromise comes back to us.
Because today
people want Muslims to compromise their principles be flexible. And
sometimes because of the situation we are in in the world of weakness
and people are compromising you know, what was said well, biggest
support comes for the Muslim from such and such group and such and
such a group and those groups may be on complete sin and complete
misguidance and we want to partner with them and we want to support
them. So you have to understand that
there are unacceptable compromises because there are constants in our
deen We cannot compromise the Tawheed of Allah subhanaw taala We
cannot compromise the resolve of Rasulullah sallallahu
We cannot compromise what is right and wrong.
Halal and Haram We cannot compromise Good luck. I mean these
are constant truthfulness will remain truthfulness is part of our
deen they'll say this part of the injustice as part of our deen so
we cannot compromise any of these just because we want support of
another group because we think it will give us strength how much
strength can a group gives you when you are compromising what
Allah has sent you? Okay, just remember that.
So the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam has taught dolls to preach
clearly openly and convey the truth and denounce the opposite.
So, we should not make any compromises today to get support
from other groups
and to fit in as open minded and liberal and caught moderate
Muslims. Okay. We are always moderate. But we cannot compromise
our principles the constants of our deen
then Allah subhanaw taala says wala to tackle Hala FINMA hen
and do not obey do not follow
hulless the word Khaled means somebody who constantly takes an
oath Wallah he, you know by Allah I swear by Allah by you know,
always taking an oath and swearing
okay. Why does a person constantly have to swear you go to a store in
any of the Muslim countries they're selling if Wallahi This is
the bill well Lila them this is this will align everything. Why do
they have to do that?
Wallahi I'm not making one penny on this at this price.
The person who has to swear all the time because he's a liar, and
people see that. So now he's trying to show that, okay, they
cheat cheat people, which is a major sin and make it even worse
by bringing Allah and swearing on that.
So Allah subhanaw taala says, do not obey these caliph, who swear
all the time, health means and ought to take take an oath Maheen
my hand her laughing my hand means someone who is despicable, who is
based, who has no principles, who would sell anyone he would sell
his soul for something for the right price, he is a lowlife, if
you see who has no real aspiration that people who have no good
aspirations in life and we are not talking about wealth, we are
talking about good character and things like that, who can be
easily bought and sold who have no principles. He says, Do not
follow people like that.
So now we are starting here, Allah subhanaw taala. One after the
other. He's talked about the, the the idol ideal character, which is
Rasool Allah salAllahu Salam, now he is presenting to us the
opposite characteristics, okay. That's what you should aim for to
be like Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, and I don't want you to be
like these people. Now Allah subhanaw taala defines nine
different character traits, one after another, which are ugly
traits from which you should keep a distance. And these are traits,
which we have to again, look within ourselves that do I have
some of these traits? Okay, we may have them might have one of them,
we may have a trace of it. I mean, you do not. If you do some of
those characters have at some of sometimes then we do have that
character trait which we need to get rid of. So we've mentioned to
this person who is a liar and takes oath was dishonorable who
has no principle bought and sold easily.
And when we have these traits, which Allah has called despicable,
we should also when you choose a leader, what should you look for?
What should you look for? That they do not have these character
traits.
When you choose a teacher, or a chef,
you should make sure they don't have these character traits no
matter how much they know.
Because Allah has condemned these traits, so we have to look at all
of those things. And of course,
we shouldn't have them ourselves, okay.
And, therefore, when we choose whether we choose leader of a
country, we choose leader of a society, which is choose leader of
the masjid, make sure that they don't have these traits, who we
learn from, they don't have these traits, who will listen to as
preachers, they do not have these traits. And in today's where it
also applies in blogs, and in web sites, and all of those things
that people put on the profiles and posts that it should not have
any of these characteristics if the person is to be considered
worthy of even listening to Okay.
So
we have to use filters of higher does this person have higher? Is
he truthful? Is he trustworthy? If she had showed justice, do the
backbite. And all the time, you know, we have people who will come
to you, you know, saunter, duck sobs, so and so is doing this
justice did this. You know, when the Prophet salallahu Alaihe
Salam, that attitude was
he told his companions don't come and tell me anything negative
about any of my companions.
We are all human beings, we may have something, don't tell me
about it, because I want to see and meet that person thinking good
of him. Because once you tell me, you get changed. You told me
something about that, even though it may not be the truth, but in my
mind, I think of it a person in that negative way.
So next trait that Allah mentions is him Mazin Masha in Binyamin
hummus is the one engine
way to liquidly houmas. Remember, hummus is the one who slanders who
back bites, who speaks ill about people who gossips Okay.
Who prods must is a prod which you use for an animal who jabs at
people? Okay? So Allah hummus is the ultimate level of that you
know the superlative, the one who
always just that, but even a little bit of that is just as bad.
So Allah Swan tell us is describing the characteristic, the
one who swears who lies who has no character, and who is a hummus,
who talks badly about people
using words that are sharp, and that are hurtful behind their back
that's called hands. If you say things in front of people, that's
columns, okay?
What is the importance of this? There is a Hadith that tells us
that people, the punishment of the grave is for people who do that.
Remember, anybody remember this hadith the Prophet salallahu
alayhi salam is traveling, and the camel starts to back and he stops
and people wonder what's going on. He said, There is a graveyard of
two people who are undergoing punishment of the grave.
And the animals know about it. So they're scared of what's going on.
And he said and it was not for a minute for what people consider
major. Two things. They did not take care of the purity. They were
careless with the urine, of the clothes in the body and to the did
not take care of the tongue. They were hummus used to slander for
this there is punishment in the grave.
The Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam said about this trait that no
slander back biter will enter lie or cruel Jana will not enter Jin
is such a big crime.
And he in one Hadith, he talks about the best of you have these
characteristics. And is then he said in the worst of you have the
characteristic of homeless.
So, we should always remember even if if you see something negative
in a person, you talk to that person with wisdom, with advice at
the right time gently. You don't expose anybody's mistakes to
others,
even though they're making
you see somebody drinking alcohol
you do not expose that because if you cover somebody's false, Allah
will cover your false yet you don't condone it you talk to that
person because your job to advise them a private
Masha imbuing Amin Masha from
Masha means to walk, roam around means traveling all over the
world. Binyamin with nema.
Taking stories from one to the other to cause enmity, you know
what he said about you? You know what she said about you making up
to cause friendships to disappear and enmity to develop? Okay, that
is called Mima. That's another one of the major sins gossip malicious
gossip in that gathering so and so said this about swans okay? Now
you get it to the person and now you cause people to become enemies
and resentful and cause trouble between people. So this is another
trait that Allah smart Allah mentioned. Munna is a little hairy
more after dinner. I think men now a little hair means one who
obstructs goodness acts of goodness somebody remember
somebody's pray he stops him from praying somebody doing decree
makes ridiculed stops him from doing somebody's giving charity he
stops him from doing that. Why do you have to somebody's cleaning
the masjid he said What Why do you have to do this they pay somebody
to do mana ill health at different levels, okay, it doesn't have to
be, you know, stopping you from
Islam. That's the ultimate stopping you from going for
hydrogen or for camera or something. That this one he
prevents and hinders all good deeds. Ma din means he is he
exceeds all bounds. He is an aggressor. He transgressive
attacks is outrageous, harming people physically psychologically.
That's called
to martyrdom. Who exceeds all bounds. Now, there are different
levels of this. How do you transgress against people? Simple
thing.
There are four people waiting to get into the elevator.
There's room for only four and you cut in front and you get inside.
That's out to the
transgression of somebody's right. And in Islam, we are entering the
masjid and you are on the left and you go in first without offering
the person on your right to go in first. That's a form of afterlife.
Hey, okay. There is
One samosa left and you you are hungry and you liked it. So you
see someone going there and you go quicker and you say, Let me clean
this up. That's pattern. Let small levels.
This is where we have to start
more often than a theme. A theme means who is sinful.
We also transgress against people with our tongues not just
physically
by saying things about them by cursing people, you know, learn
how to lie on Falana and so on so forth. Now, you must remember that
sometimes the companions of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam came to
him and said, y'all Rasul Allah and things God, why don't you
curse so and so the enemies and you know what the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi salam said,
he said I was not sent as a LAN a person who curses I was sent as a
Rama
and he for bed
cursing Abuja laughter He was dead.
Even Abuja * his worst enemy. People started saying he said,
don't I don't want you to curse him. You know why?
Yes?
Well, one thing is,
or Smith is Africa. Chinese like to go to Ghana. But like can you
see, it came up EB Nebrija * became a Muslim,
or the relatives of Abuja had become Muslim. In front of them,
you curse something of his father, or his brother. In his heart, at
least he will feel bad. So this is the feeling of Rasulullah
sallallahu. And it's not going to make change anything anyway. So
just remember, we are not sent to curse people. We are sent to make
dua for people the Prophet salaallah listener made dua for
his enemies for their guidance.
And this
Martha didn't I theme, this
aggression, go can go all the way to torturing and killing people.
Okay.
And the word or theme is again, a superlative of ism is sin, evil
criminal behavior, one who is perpetual, who is known as a
sinner. So don't be like that. Another characteristic. Otto Lin
by the Delica is any alternate alternate means someone who has no
manners who is very crude, who is very rude, vicious, greedy,
unwilling to accept the truth, who will fight you on to the extent of
being harsh. Otto is also used for somebody who uses excessive force
to retaliate. In other words, this can mean an individual person,
somebody said something to you, and you come back at him with 10
times more than that, he said some word that was harsh, and now you
start cursing him with all kinds of bad words. And this also
happens in physical, you know,
as individuals and as nations, it's called, disproportionate
response, you know, we see this in the world today, somebody sent one
little thing, and the whole country gets bombed.
disproportionate response, this is called awful,
vicious response.
Because why should we remember that? because two wrongs
don't make a right. In mathematics, yes, negative
multiplied by negative becomes positive, right? But not in these
that's why elsewhere in the Quran, Allah subhanaw taala says, Good
and evil are naughty,
say, dispelled or repel evil by good.
And therefore, those from whom between whom you had enmity with
whom you had enmity will become your dearest friend
or to limb by the Dalek and in spite of all of these, and you
know, having these traits, he is the name, the name is somebody who
has an identifying characteristics, who is just known
for something and in this case known because of his sinful
behavior known for his evil and there is another meaning of the
name, which means someone of low birth in other words, who whose
father is not known.
That's another meaning of surname.
Now again, some of the Mufasa rune have said that these
characteristics are again, mostly for addressing because the one who
fits these was the same one, which is Al Walid, even and maglia.
However, it can fit many other people. And you don't have to have
every one of these traits. And we have so we can say that well, this
is for him. It's for us that we don't want any of these traits.
And we ask Allah subhanaw taala to learn from well from what we have
learned and to screen ourselves not projected on others, for the
good qualities and the bad traits, and to work and make lots of two
characters. And ask sincerely enjoy, Ayala, show me
my traits, my characteristics, my actions, my decisions that you
don't like. And then give me tofi To do Toba and to change my
decisions for future to only those that which you like
Subhanak Allah Allah, masha Allah Allah Allah Stockwell to bootleg
