We are told
in our tradition,
about a particular
disagreement and dispute that took place
among the
honorable, respected and loved companions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
And we find inspiration and we find lessons in every, every part of our history, especially that which has to do with that first generation of Muslims.
So today, I wanted to share with you some reflections
regarding a particular incident, and what it means
for us as a community
because that particular incident
and dispute was resolved and addressed by Allah subhanho wa Taala in one of the most fascinating and interesting ways.
So we're told, according to best Radi Allahu Anhu.
That after the Battle of better settled, and Allah subhanaw taala, granted the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam and the Companions around him a decisive victory.
And after recovering the body of the 14 martyrs, those who were slain in that battle called the Allahu Anwar LA, WA Tada, whom may Allah be pleased with them, and attending to the wounded and capturing about 70 members of the army of the enemies,
right.
And also counting about 70 also dead from the enemies. This is just the result of the of the battle.
There was a pile of items, weapons armors and valuable
possessions that were collected from the battlefield and from the camp of the pagans
that people would refer to as the bounties or the booties or the spoils of war.
And there was a group that participated and collecting these items chase after, and then there's a group that chase after them and there is a group that was attending to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So those who collected the items thought that now they belong to them because they were the first ones to actually
find them, and collect them.
retrieve them. So the Prophet SAW Allah and so I've instructed them to leave them where they were collected.
And this matter at you know, who is most worthy or who should get what became a matter of, of disagreement. When I say this agreement, that doesn't mean that they they were up in arms and ready to fight each other. But they didn't know okay, what do we do with this? How do we handle this? So there were different opinions.
So Allah azza wa jal revealed
surah.
And sewer then fell has a very interesting beginning. It begins with stating the fact that
Your companions, those who participated in the battle came to you oh Mohamed, asking you about Allah and fell the spoils of war or the bounties of war. So Allah Subhana Allah revealed, yes Aluna cannula fell.
They asked you or they inquire, they asked you Oh Mohamed regarding the MFAT this what do we do with them?
Right? How should it be divided? Adil emphatically Allah Who Rasool say to them, that it belongs to Allah and his messenger meaning settling this matter.
dividing them, the ownership over this whole
issue belongs to Allah and His messenger.
Then Allah subhanho wa Taala starts addressing the believers. For Tukwila, be mindful of Allah fear Allah subhanaw taala
and the Quran does not say anything about the division of it.
For another 40 verses, you really have to read almost half of the surah before you finally find the answer.
That's where I want I want us to really reflect
the dispute was how do we divide this?
Allah subhanaw taala says it belongs to Allah and His messenger and they know that it belongs to Allah and his messenger is just a reminder, that's why they came to the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam inquiring as to how to resolve this dispute or this, this disagreement.
Yet Allah Subhana Allah Allah states the obvious to remind them that this belongs to Allah and His Messenger, then Allah azza wa jal tells them, You need to pay attention and focus on what matters the most.
What matters the most is not who gets what.
But rather, what matters the most is your fear of Allah subhanho wa taala, for whom you came to begin with to sacrifice your lives and your possessions, you came willing to give up your wealth, and your lives.
So don't let this victory. Don't let this achievement
don't let it distract you or cause you to forget what you're here for to begin with.
So fear Allah subhanaw taala Let's reset.
Right?
And then Allah subhanaw taala reminds him of what I really wanted to talk about today.
Right?
A duty
upon each and every single one of us
to strengthen, maintain, enhance and protect our relationships.
This beautiful relationship that we call
this bond that we have the day we embrace Islam, or the day we were born into Islam.
The minute you you are part of this community you become one of our brothers.
The minute a sister embraces Islam, she becomes one of our sisters we become one body we become one family.
So Allah subhanaw taala reminds us of the importance of it
and how we should be protective of it. And how we should make sure that we mend any broken ties or any damaged
connect connections, we have to make sure that we do maintenance of that.
Right so Allah subhanaw taala says Fetta Kula will oscillator with that I bet you Netcom
fear Allah
and amend that which is between you.
Anything that gets damaged between you need to amend it, you need to work on it, you need to treat it. You need to heal it.
Take care of it immediately. For duckula who asked me who that a baby come? Well I'll tell you Allah rasool Allah
and obey Allah and His messenger. And look at how Allah subhanaw taala says, rectify your affairs mend amend your relationships. And then Allah mentions obeying Allah and His messenger because
if you try to obey Allah, His Messenger while
having broken ties or failing to amend the broken connections or ties between you and your brother and you're not obeying Allah and His Messenger
you're not, you're in disobedience. And it tends to distract you from obeying Allah and His messenger.
It gets in the way.
These grudges and the ill feelings that
faster and that develop and that and our hearts against other people because
we continue not to fail like we we fail in reconnecting or amending or fixing the broken ties,
it will poison us
and it would cause us to fail
in obeying Allah and His messenger. So Allah Subhana Allah says, pay attention to what matters the most.
You should have not disputed over this but now that you have fix it first, before we even talk and then Allah Subhana Allah continues to remind them of his blessings upon them in control more money and if you are true believers obey Allah and His messenger if you are true believers, then allottee minds and what it means to be a true believer in normal mode, meno and Alladhina. Either look, here, Allahu Allah boom. The true believers are those when Allah Subhana Allah is mentioned their hearts
become fearful. Why they are truly utterly him as to who that Imana and when the Ayat of Allah azza wa jal are recited to them when the answer comes to them from Allah and His Messenger, their Eman increases, it increases their Eman what are the rugby meter karoun And they put their trust in Allah subhana wa taala. Then Allah Subhana Allah continues to talk about their qualities a Lydian at Mono Salah those who establish that prayer is when we mount as an aluminium foil cone, and they spend from that which we have given them.
All that eco Hominem want me to have. Such are the true believers know whom the Rajat winning the rugby him, they have high degrees with their Lord. Well, not the field up to him, What is Kareem and they have forgiveness from Allah azza wa jal, and they have better provision or his country and they have honorable provision from Allah subhanaw taala. Better than that which we compete over or fight over in this dunya.
Businesses and profits and, you know, partnerships and different titles and different ownership of this and that
most of our disputes stem from that from dunya. Right? Just from dunya. Pure dunya have haven't seen people like fight over Africa.
Right?
Estonia, which we leave behind, which is worthless.
But this bond and connection that we have, that we ought to protect and maintain and enhance and,
and count upon and be proud of this love that we have for one another. This brotherhood, this connection that we have is priceless. So Allah subhanaw taala reminds him of that.
And then 40 versus later Allah subhanaw taala tells them how to divide the spoils of war. I want to do our very verse 41.
Right, the answer comes with a lot more animals than him, after telling them about how they should behave as believers what it means to be believers after reminding them of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and how Allah gave him victory after reminding them of how Allah sent down angels to support them, after reminding reminding them
right of the the the importance of obeying Allah and His messenger and listening and paying attention so many reminders come out. And basically, nothing is said about how to divide them until 48 hours later, while I'm running to machine in family life.
Yet it's abseil by the Dalek.
Now
why am I saying this My dear brothers and sisters as we are enjoying this blessed month, this blessed month of the of Shaban
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam it tells us that in the month of Shabbat our deeds are reviewed as I mentioned before
our deeds are reported to Allah subhanho wa taala.
And again, my dear brothers and sisters, everyone that believes in Allah and His Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam will have their sins forgiven, and their deeds accepted, their deeds will be approved, their deeds will be blessed. Their their deeds will be admitted.
They will be accepted received by Allah subhanaw taala Except there's one category of people whose deeds are not going to be accepted, approved or received.
Allah subhanaw taala suspends them.
And that category are people who hold grudges and ill feelings against other people that they're supposed to have, whether it's relatives or their brothers and sisters in Islam
to the point where they cut them off or they shun them or they don't speak to them anymore
and he must kill
them
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam warns us of this. For our own good the promise seldom warns us of this.
And we know
that
one of the one of Iblees is one of Satan's
favorite activities is to cause division and animosity between the believers. So we have to be proactive.
Whether it is something that involves us or involves other people, we have to be proactive and helping people amend or helping ourselves and mend our broken ties. So, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam for those of us who again, are waiting and they're excited for the arrival of the month of Ramadan and we are excited about the month of Shaban the month in which we start fasting and we, you know, we fast voluntarily and we read the Quran and we prepare ourselves for the month of Ramadan and we repent to Allah and we make dua and we give sadaqa. And in preparation for the arrival of the month of Ramadan, we're preparing spiritually for the arrival of the month of
Ramadan. But if we don't take care of this issue,
then we're in trouble. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam reminds us and he says, in a hadith, and I will be hiring Ming cathedra Mila Salatu was sadaqa Should I not tell you about something that is more valuable and better than
much prayer, voluntary prayer and sadaqa
bluebella Of course, messenger of Allah. Allah is with that hill May
Allah Islam who that will be in
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, mending discord
mending this discord,
getting over your ego, humbling yourself and coming down and saying whether again, it involves you you're involved in it, or it involves you're not you're not a one of the parties, you know, people who haven't been on good terms. So you go and you actually help bring an end to that disagreement.
Then the Prophet SAW Selim says, what yeah, come we'll build
off here why Oh, er come off who said Who that'll be. Beware. Be careful
of
spoiling or
right.
spoiling your relationships and your bonds.
A bill by means hatred, right?
Or rejection of the other person.
These negative feelings the person said beak beware of it, be careful, be cautious. Don't allow that that negative emotion to really take over your life and damage that relationship. He says for inner Halle Halle up for it is the shaver.
Yakama facade with that will paid for in the Halle Halle cup.
Now,
the processor themselves, it does not shave the hair, but just like a razor shaves the hair from its roots basically cuts it completely removes it belta Liquid Dean, he says, having hatred towards your believing brothers and sisters. it shaves your deen
it destroys your religiosity.
It destroys you from inside.
It destroys you spiritually.
So ridding yourself of it.
And on top of that the price on Allah Allah Islam tells us it causes our deeds not to be examined, received or accepted by Allah subhanho wa Taala
Well, so what is it that we are doing all of this for? Why are we praying? Why are we giving sadaqa why are we you know, fasting why are we doing all of these things if our deeds are not going to be blessed or accepted by Allah subhanaw taala because again, we cannot get over that negative emotion or ill feeling that we have towards a person mostly, and in many in many cases over trivial issues, things that are worthless.
So my dear brothers and sisters today, it's an open invitation for us to really right, humble ourselves
and extend forgiveness to those who have offended us and ask forgiveness for
From those who who we have offended
and make sure that we mend those broken ties between us and our believing, brothers and sisters and our relatives, may Allah subhanho wa Taala bless them. Last but not least one of the Hadith that I get excited about is the Hadith in which the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and says
that on the Day of Judgment, Allah subhana wa Taala will raise a group of people. On the Day of Judgment, Allah will invite
ordinary people who are neither prophets or martyrs.
Ladies will be in the NBA or whether shahada
when they are invited and welcomed by Allah subhanho wa Taala prophets and messengers, along with martyrs will be envious of them. You have a beautiful woman who was shahada, Allah subhanaw taala invites them.
And then Allah subhana wa Taala will raise them on pedestals made of light
and their faces will be covered with light and their bodies will be covered with the light.
So their bodies while everyone else is naked, their bodies will be covered with light, their faces will shine. And they will be raised on pedestals made of light high enough for everyone to see them and everyone is going to be envious of them, even prophets and martyrs.
And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was begged by some of his companions, a man in particular a Bedouin it was said,
God down on his knees when the prophesy said I mentioned this hadith and he said, Messenger of Allah, for God's sake, tell us who these people are. What are their qualities? What is their description? How could a person be amongst these people, and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, it's a group of people that came together, not for the sake of dunya for the sake of worldly gain, nor because of their blood ties, and their kinship. It wasn't the fact that they're from the same family, or from the same tribe, or from the same city that they came together.
It's a diverse group of people that didn't look like each other. But they all had in their hearts, the love of Allah and His messenger and they loved each other for the sake of Allah.
STEM or elevating or harming bainham Whether I'm willing to Altona
The only thing that brought them together was the love of Allah to have boo Fila. They loved each other for the sake of Allah.
So Allah subhanaw taala on the Day of Judgment will say amen Mota have been officially where are those who love each other for My glory?
Where are they? And they will be invited. And Allah Subhana Allah will ask them to come and then raise them
because they love each other for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala
so we need to instill that in our hearts and that won't happen unless we really cleanse and purify our hearts
and love each other purely for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala ask Allah azza wa jal to make us of those who love each other for the sake of Allah, y'all anyway, yeah, committed would have been a fee. One would have Adelina fee one which is very in a fee. So ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala that our coming out of here

Few days ago
some of the sisters called me they said there's a sister here that wants to become Muslim.
And it was so exciting somehow. So I said, Okay, inshallah I'm on my way, I'll be there. 10 minutes. I came here. I found a sister that had done her research, Masha, Allah. May Allah Subhana Allah bless her. Right? She did her research. She studied everything. So I, you know, just short conversation and it was very obvious that she wanted to become Muslim. Right?
So, you know, you know, the drill, I extended an invitation to her and then asked her to repeat after me, sisters came embraced her and Hamdulillah we took her information so we can follow up with her in sha Allah to Allah with the new Muslim group. And I was like, subhanAllah it's beautiful. It's amazing. hamdulillah right, may Allah Subhana Allah, you know, increase this. But then I said to myself, most important part is that we follow up. And that we become an exemplary community, a community that embraces all of its members,
no Muslims and all Muslims and we open our hearts and we open our homes and our massages, make them feel feel at home in sha Allah with them. So today Subhanallah I was told also before Juma that there is a brother that hamdulillah has has been studying and so
so we were supposed to meet before him and they just made it and I don't want to have any more delays in Charlotte that we can't put something off. Okay after tonight. That has to be meted, right. So inshallah Huhtala you know, I'll conclude the hot work cut it short insha Allah azza wa jal said that you and I can in sha Allah to Allah, witness our you know, our dear brother, Mark insha Allah taking shahada and joining the community within Lehi to Allah may Allah Subhana Allah reward for his friend, for being someone that facilitated this. Alright, and I just want to remind you of the Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said to Ali or the Allahu le.
When you invite people to Allah subhanaw taala remember that if Allah was to guide one person through you to Islam, clay will look him in harmonium. It is more valuable, more precious than anything that you can think of the most valuable of possessions. Write that Allah azza wa jal guys, one person is better than that.
And we have to really remind ourselves that this is what we're here for. To become an example of what other people live Islam, practice Islam,
you know, live by it and die by it and set an example for people so that that people can see the beauty of Islam in our actions
and share the message with people and then once they accept it, you know, welcome them and support them is shot loudhailer. So, please pray for our brother Mark in sha Allah, Allah. May Allah subhanaw taala strengthen him, may Allah Subhana Allah keep him firm upon this religion. And may Allah subhanaw taala make you and I have those who guide other people who are guiding themselves and guide other people to Allah.
