Mohammad Elshinawy – Nightly Reminder – Burying Grudges – 04.05.2020

			Salam aleikum, everyone Smilla Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah. While early he was
severe drain
		

			I asked Allah azza wa jal to bless us and you in our month of chadburn and to deliver us to the
month of Ramadan
		

			tonight's tonight's reflection on a verse will be or in Allah subhanho wa Taala said and sort of
known to ovoca so dear for the Allahu Anhu and to the whole world after Him and through Him He said
		

			failure for US Federal I led to him gonna yell fire hola hola como
		

			they should they is referring to people like Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Allah may Allah make us like them
they should pardon others while yours file and just let let things go.
		

			You know, start a clean slate. Let people start a clean slate. Allah to buena young Pharaoh mahalo
calm. And here is the perfect reason to do that. Don't you like it? Wouldn't you love it that ALLAH
forgive you? You know, the scholars had many beautiful things about this idea
		

			of them is that Allah loves to forgive. Because if you pay attention to the verse, he's actually
throwing the ball, the proverbial ball in your court. When he's saying, Don't you want to be
forgiven? Meaning it's really up to you.
		

			And so if you want to be forgiven, here's what you need to do. You need to forgive others. If you
want yourself as a servant of Allah, to meet Allah having been forgiven for your sins, then forgive
the servants of Allah for their sins. It
		

			is very interesting how people when they
		

			have some sort of ill feelings towards others, or there's a grudge or whatnot. They focus too much
on others not on themselves. And they focus too much on this world and not the next. So focus too
much on others. You like yeah, that loser creep person arrogant, no good. It's like, whoa, hold on,
you're thinking about that person too much. You don't want to forgive them because they don't
deserve to be forgiven. But what about you? Don't you deserve to be forgiven? This is what Allah
azza wa jal is shifting our attention towards Don't you want to be forgiven? Wouldn't you like to be
forgiven, then forgive them.
		

			Because the repayment comes most appropriate in the same nature as the deed that you did. The other
issue is that people sometimes forgive others, and hamdulillah they forgive others, but for you
know, they could do better on their reasoning, you know, they say, I forgive so and so or I should
forgive so and so for me so I could be at peace. You being at peace, you being comfortable in this
world,
		

			is not our ultimate goal as Muslims, our ultimate goal is to be at peace forever everlasting
pleasure, and so will bite the bullet will swallow. You know, the bitter taste of being the one to
let things go and because we want Allah's forgiven forgiveness, may Allah allow us and you to
experience His forgiveness.
		

			And
		

			there really is so much to be said. But just think about that, that moment where you're sitting
there and saying, you know, this person doesn't deserve to be forgiven. You know, one of the sellers
actually, when he only heard another man, listing off rattling off all the bad qualities of another
person. He said to him, something very simple. He said, like you're staring, you're focused, you're
fixated on their, their bad side, their ugly side, he said, overcoated hochma it all there is a J
shut those eyes of yours and remember the day that they will really be shut and cotton will be
placed over them. Meaning remember the moment of shroud when you're being shrouded when you're being
		

			wrapped up, to be placed into the earth. At that moment, you will know the value of forgiveness, you
will know the value of worrying about yourself not worrying about others, and letting things go with
others so that you can be let go of the consequences of your crimes. Interestingly, you know, we
have a hadith that you know, some of the scholars deem confirmed or they deem it traceable,
authentically traceable to the Prophet SAW Selim. Then when it is the midway point of Shabbat,
though there is no specific act of worship to be done, or at least the Prophet Alayhi Salatu was
Salam and the Sahaba never performed a specific act of worship on the middle in the middle of
		

			Shabbat. There's a hadith that does seem to have some reliability and its transmission that says
that when it's the middle point of Shabbat in the middle night of Shabbat, Allah overlooks the
people and forgives them.
		

			Except for a machete, Cora Masha and someone who is a polytheist, a disbeliever, or someone who is
in wish and someone who carries hard feelings and grudges against others.
		

			And that's really interesting because that means Shaban is supposed to be a time when we pick up the
phones and we
		

			reach out to people and we squash things and and that is also the time when shaytaan gets us to
start more beef than ever more problems than ever so that we go into Ramadan with this so Allah Who
wants you cleanse before you go into Ramadan so that you can ascend to new heights and Ramadan and
shaytaan wants to ruin your Ramadan before it starts by getting you to carry these poisonous toxic
feelings towards others. And so you owe it to yourself in the hereafter before the dunya to be
forgiven by Allah failure falls foul and so pardon people just let it go pick up the phone be the
one to start the conversation. Put it behind you. I like to hipbone if you're hola hola calm. Don't
		

			you love it that Allah who would forgive you? Wouldn't you love for Allah to forgive you? Oh Allah
who he loved that you forgive us. So help us find it in our heart to forgive others. Let it be
tonight before tomorrow and let it be shot Ben before Ramadan. Exactly. Okay and everybody and
		

			we may be starting a new series in preparation for Ramadan, the rulings and the structure that could
help us make the best out of this blessed month. What if you have any particular requests or
questions on topics?
		

			Do send them our way in shallow Tada and we will try
