ibnis
Sariyah.
He said the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam gave
us a sermon. He was giving us advice
and this particular type of advice that he
was giving
our hearts begin to tremble by listening to
Raul Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
And
our eyes began to
cry. His
talk was so moving,
and it wasn't something normal.
It had a little kick to it,
That we said to
Raul Allah It's as if you are leaving
us, it's your parting advice.
It's like a father who's leaving and as
he's leaving he tells his son, 'Take care
of your mother while I'm gone.
Make sure you pay these bills.
Be good to your siblings.'
That just by hearing Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
we were shooken up.
So Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, we said that,
give us some more advice.
The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam says,
The main thing that I give you advice
of
is to be conscious of Allah
Be mindful of Allah
And this concept of taqwa is actually a
huge part of our religion,
being
is, if you look at Islam, Allah subhanahu
wa'anhu in the Quran, he says, We haven't
created mankind or jinnkind except to worship us.
Little bit better. If our sole purpose of
creation is to worship a lot of.
Daily life do I worship Allah? The reality
is when it comes to salah, our usual
salah takes maybe,
let's say, 10 to 12 minutes.
Right? Coming, going time.
Let's be a bit wild and say that,
you know, the whole
part of coming to salah,
2 hours from our day.
But here
the
Allah
says, You're 24 hours from that only 2
hours you're fulfilling
your purpose of creation.
And the rest you're doing other stuff, filler.
And when scholars talk about this, they say,
imagine there's something that you go to buy,
go to purchase.
Let's say you go to purchase a car,
you go into the Mercedes dealership, or you
go now these Tesla is a thing. Right?
Dealership, and the dealer says to you,
there's this bells, there's this whistles. It will
do this for you. It will do that
for you.
The fridge that you're getting, it will tell
you what's not in what's inside and what
you need to buy.
From point a to point b. Or this
fridge
would do all these crazy stuff, but it
does not keep your food cold. Or this
microwave, it doesn't
warm up your food.
If we ask ourselves,
what will be the value of that thing?
We'll say it'll be garbage, trash.
Why? Because it's not fulfilling the purpose of
its creation.
Comes to you and
I, when the moment that we stop fulfilling
the purpose of our creation, we become a
waste just like that card that doesn't get
you
to point a to point b,
just like that fridge that doesn't keep the
food cold. When we no longer fulfill the
purpose of our creation,
and that is,
we then become a failure.
However,
Allah
tells us how
we can turn our day to day life
or 24 hours a day
into worship of Allah
by this one quality where the prophet says,
give you the advice
of being mindful and conscious of Allah
where throughout your day, whatever you're doing, as
long as you have this quality of
as you do it.
Spend at work, if you have taqwa and
you have God consciousness,
and you're aware that Allah
is watching you as you're working,
so because of that you don't cheat, because
of that you fulfill the time that you're
supposed to give, your 9 to 8 hours
at work it becomes
an
active. Now, the 3 hours that you spend
with your children, and then, you know, 3
hours is a lot of times usually. We're
so tied up with stuff, we get 5
hour 5 minutes or 10 minutes of meaningful
conversation with our children, that's a win. But
those 3 hours that you spend with your
children,
if you have Taqwa,
God consciousness, you're aware of Allah
that I am being just with my children.
I'm not taking out my anger on my
children, the way that I speak to my
spouse,
then the time that you spend with your
family,
it actually becomes
a worse.
Even the entertainment and the leisure time that
you have,
when you're out in the mall, when you're
shopping,
when you're at the park,
if you have taqwa there,
if you're conscious that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
is watching me, should I do this or
should I not do this? Should I look
at this or should I not look at
this? Should I listen to this or should
I not listen to this? Then even that
leisure time becomes an act of worship. And
now,
It goes from 2 hours until your 24
hour day. Where constantly
you're in the state of worship of Allah
And this is where the prophet starts off.
This hadith says, the one thing that I
give you advice is
He then he then says,
that you listen
and after listening you obey.
Whatever the prophet has taught us, whatever comes
to the Quran, whatever comes to the hadith,
that you listen to that and then you
immediately obey it even from the leader of
the believers.
And the prophet says,
and if the leader of the believers is
even a slave, someone that might not seem
to be of high status,
might not seem to be rich,
might not
seem to be someone that's prestigious,
as long as they are coming to you
with the truth, with the
with the words of Allah, with the words
of the Hadith of the Prophet then
your job is,
listen, and then bring it into
your action.
Then the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam says,
verily whoever lives
a long life, for those of you that
live a long life, you will see a
lot of controversy.
You will see a lot of fitna.
And when this happens,
then hold on to my sunnah and the
sunnah of the Khulafa Rasheedin.
Now the prophet he didn't just say my
sunnah,
but he says also the sunnah of the
Khulafa Rasheedin. Why? Because there'll be certain things
that I do and there's certain things that
my Holifai Rashidin do.
As long as it falls under this category,
the prophet always senses, hold on to it
with your molar teeth.
Hold on to it tightly. Even if you
can't grasp it with your hands, just grab
it with your teeth. Don't let go. With
my sunnah and the sunnah of my Khulafa
Rasheed. Now, the fitna of the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam is talking about here,
it started from the time of Usman bin
Affan
The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam 1 Hadisi tells
us that Usman Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he's a
door of fitna.
And then, you know, Usman Adani asks the
Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, will that door
be removed
or will it be broken?
And the prophet says that door will be
broken.
It won't be removed. It'll be broken. And
Usman al Adani, at that moment, he understood
that I'm I'm gonna be shayd. How the
rebels at the time of Usman Al Azzat
and they rebuild and they the Shahad of
Usman Al Azzat and to summarize the story,
Usman Al Azzat, he had was approached by
a
a group of people from Iraq.
And they sent a letter to Osman saying
that there's a certain person who you have
appointed as the Amir,
the governor.
But this person isn't just. This person is
wrong.
He doesn't treat us fairly.
We would like to remove that person and
in place of this person,
we
our suggestion is this, second person will be
a great fit.
Usman Adan
says, you are the people of the land.
You know better, so I agree. This person
that's appointed currently, I remove that person, and
the second person who you suggest, I put
them in that position as a governor of
your locality.
He signs a letter,
he stamps it, and then they take off
to
their country.
As they're going, they see a person that's
on a horse,
traveling fast,
And they ask this person, where are you
going? I'm going to so and so place.
Wait, we're from that place? What do you
have with you? This is a letter from
Usman.
They said that we have a letter from
Usman as well.
Current governor is being replaced with the governor
that we suggest, with the person that we
suggest.
He says, my letter says that everything that's
in yours
Osman O'Dal done, he was stopped from going
to the measure of the prophets of Allah.
Osman O'Dal done, he was stopped from any
food coming into his house or any water
coming into his house.
And one day Usman Ulladhdan, he comes out
and he says,
what are you all doing?
You're stopping me from going to the masjid
of the Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, whereas
I single handedly
finance the expansion of that masjid.
He said, you're stopping food from coming into
my house,
where I, at one time, I was the
one who fed the whole city of Medina
with my wealth. When the Muslims came into
Madin, to Munawah, the Muslims didn't have a
source of sweet water. And I purchased the
well of Rumah, and I donated it so
the Muslims have a source of sweet water,
and yet you're stopping water from coming
and yet you're stopping water from in my
house. And for 40 days, Usman Uthman Uthman,
he fasted,
locked in his house.
Ali ibn Uthman comes to Usman and says,
Usman,
you give me the command. These rebels, small
in number, we have a huge army of
Muslims. We can smaller number. We have a
huge army of
I don't want any bloodshed
because of me. I don't want the bloodshed
to be a Muslim to die because of
me.
Abdulla bin Omar
he was guarding Usman O'Dawn's house. So Ali
Khan was, look, if we're not if you're
not gonna allow us to attack them, then
let us set up some people to guard
your house so that they don't attack you.
Abdul Abin
Omar El Dautan who was protecting Usman El
Dautan's house. One of the rebels said to
him that I'm gonna tell you three
things. And you tell me if I'm
right or wrong. It's a number 1.
It's
just it's true. Osmano del Tan ran away
from the battlefield.
Is it true that Usman
O'Than, when they did the baytruiz1,
underneath the tree, where Allah swan praises in
the Quran, Tafta Shajaraa,
is it true that Usman O'Than wasn't there?
And Abdul Abhin Omar says, It's true. Osmahn
Osmahn wasn't there. He didn't take part in
this pact. But let me answer all 3
of your ridiculous objections against Osmahn. He said,
number 1, Osmahn Osmahn
didn't fight in the battle of Badr because
the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam requested him to
stay with Ruqayya.
The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam's daughter and Uthman's
wife. Why? Because she was sick. And when
the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, the Muslims came
in to Madin, to Manawwah,
Uthman Radhan was returning into Madinah after bearing
his wife.
He says, ask for number 2.
The bad of odd.
When we heard that the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam had passed away,
some of us dove into the enemy and
other words others of us, we retreated and
left back. Why? Because if the Prophet Sallallahu
Alaihi Wasallam is not here, then why should
we fight?
Verses, forgiving these people and clearing their names.
And he says, as for happened why? Because
The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam sent him
as a as a negotiator, and when he
didn't come back, the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
he sat down and said that we have
to avenge
Usman.
And he said, so it's not possible for
Usman to be there. He goes, but even
on top of that, the prophet salallahu alaihi
wa sallam took his hand and he says,
this right here
is for Usman. And he placed his hand
on top of everybody's hand and when the
that's when the tack was taken. That's when
the was taken.
On the 40th
day, Uthman Adhan, he sees a dream,
where the Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam Abu Bakr
and Uthman come and the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
Wasallam says to Uthman that, Uthman, you have
been fasting for 40 days.
Today, you are gonna have your with us.
Today, you're gonna break your fast with us.
Uthman Uthman woke up
and he tied his lower garment tightly.
And I don't want my body to be
exposed.
And he goes outside to the guards and
says, whatever happens today,
remember
no bloodshed
of a Muslim should appear.
Adnan. There were two attempts that were made.
The first attempt,
the person comes and grabs the beard of
Osman Adnan.
This. And the He says, look, if your
father was alive, you wouldn't do this. Property.
And then immediately, a second person attempted and
he
he chopped the finger to Usman. And
Usman at that time was reading the Quran.
And the blood of Usman fell onto the
Quran.
And Usman says, this was the first hand
that wrote the verses of Quran.
When the Quran was revealed, the first time
it was written, the hand that you just
chopped off was a hand that
wrote the Quran for the first time.
And then these rebels, they went on ahead,
they attacked Usman O'Dhan's wife, and they ended
up
killing Usman
Ozan. And this was the beginning of fitna
in our reality.
The beginning and this is what the prophet
here is saying that for those of you
that have a long life, you will see
many fitna's
come into our religion. And when you see
these fitnas,
hold on to the sunnah, and the sunnah
my sunnah, and the sunnah of the khulafa
rashideen, even if it's with your molars.
Then Rasool Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam says, beware
of new matters, beware of.
Right?
Innovations,
things that people bring into Islam
Now, of course, there are things that we
bring in,
for example, you know, that wasn't there at
the time of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
For example, Biryani.
Right? So question is, is Biryani a Bida?
Because why it wasn't there at the time
of the prophet
And the answer to this, the definition of
a BIDDA is something that you do with
the intention
that this act will give me reward.
The act done in this particular way is
giving me reward.
Coming together part, nobody expects that part to
give them reward, but the reading of that
gives them the reward.
Not wouldn't be considered a Bida. Why? Because
you don't expect to be rewarded for coming
together in reading, but you expect to be
rewarded for reading Suri Aseen. And this is
what the prophet says, Every new thing that's
innovated in Islam
that people expect to get reward. For example,
somebody says that if you eat so and
so or so and so sweet dish on
so and so day, then that would be
a bit of a.
Right? If they say that you get reward
for that, that would be a Unless we
find it in the and
then
the final thing,
he says,
and every
innovation
You will find it in the Quran. You'll
find it in the sunnah.
Anything that's brought and innovated,
that is rejected.
Every new thing is a misguidance because our
religion
is complete.
Ability to act upon the sunnah and to
understand the value of the sunnah in our
lives.
