Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.

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

Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim al hamdu Lillah wa Salatu was Salam ala rasulillah what Allah Allah He was happy he woman, voila. We praise Allah subhanho wa Taala we thank him for everything that he has bestowed upon us. We send blessings and salutations upon Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, his entire household, all his companions, we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to bless every single one of them. And we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to bless every single one of us as well. And to grant us forgiveness Allahumma inaka hoon to hit Bulla 4510 Allah you are most forgiving you love to forgive. So forgive us all. I mean, my brothers and sisters yesterday we ended with the accusation leveled

00:00:46 --> 00:01:27

against the pure and the clean of all the women I shadowed the Allahu Allah. And we made mention of how a great man known as sulphonic numata, Laura Viola and who was a companion of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was accused without a shadow Viola and her and as a result, after a month, Allah subhanho wa Taala cleared her name. And Allah subhanho wa Taala revealed verse number 11 of pseudo to noon, and another 10 verses and Allah subhanho wa Taala clarified that Sharia law was indeed clean and very, very innocent of the accusation. Similarly, there are rules and regulations pertaining to accusations that are leveled against others. We spoke about some of these

00:01:27 --> 00:01:34

yesterday, and this evening inshallah, we'd like to take a look at the categories of people who had been

00:01:35 --> 00:01:39

involved in this particular issue regarding I shall the Allahu Allah.

00:01:42 --> 00:02:28

So Allah subhanho wa Taala makes mentioned quite clearly of the fact that it was up to the believers to deny the accusation immediately. It was up to the believers to refuse that this was the truth. It was up to the believers to ensure that this statement was not uttered by their mouths. It is impossible for us if we truly are concerned about how we will be answering Allah subhanho wa Taala on the Day of Judgment, to actually come out and say words that we don't have knowledge regarding. If you and I are worried about the answer ability with Allah subhanho wa Taala. How can we say something against someone or spread an accusation that we know we don't have evidence regarding? We

00:02:28 --> 00:03:10

ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to grant us the strength and this is why in the Sierra tabari there is a narration of Rosa who narrates from eyeshadow, viola and her and she says that Abu Bella and sorry about the lava and he was one of those whom when his wife asked him a question, did you hear the accusations being leveled against the shadow of the law, and the stories that are floating around in Madina? munawwara he immediately said, we as believers are not meant to be messing our mouths with such statements definitely. It is a clear manifest falsehood. It is absolutely unacceptable. So Allah makes mention of this. And in another narration, which is upon Allah in fact, it is a

00:03:10 --> 00:03:40

narration regarding a boy you been in Saudi Arabia Allahu anhu, as well found in the books of Tafseer that he asked his wife a simple question. And that is, is it possible for you to do something of this nature? She said, definitely not. So he says when I show her love and her is better than you, so Allah subhanho wa Taala revealed verse number 12 Lola, Samia to move on me no no almina to be fussy him Connie law What

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

if

00:03:44 --> 00:04:19

ob, why is it that when you hear such a rumor that the believers they think good about themselves and immediately they utter that this is an open clear fabrication? It's a lie. This is what a believer should be doing. Making mention of what abou Belen sorry, the Allahu anhu did and what the others should have done. They should have followed suit, they should have actually followed his example. Similarly Allah subhanho wa Taala says verse number 16, while Ola Samia to mukuru

00:04:21 --> 00:04:22

acuna

00:04:25 --> 00:04:27

Suba Hanukkah

00:04:28 --> 00:04:59

Nabi why is it that when you when you heard it, you did not say that we are not meant to be spoiling our mouths, uttering such dirty words Indeed, this is a manifest a clear great slander, it is a slander. So this was confirming what the blue button sorry or the one who said, may Allah peace and blessings be upon all the companions of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and it is teaching us a lesson that whenever you hear a rumor,

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

It is your duty as a Muslim, to negate it immediately. You are not the load of that person, that person is answerable to Allah subhanho wa Taala did they steal or take something from you? If that is the case, you may seek justice. If not make dua for them, leave it in the hands of Allah. If you'd like to guide someone you may do so. But you do not spread rumor accusation without proper evidence that is acceptable in the eyes of Allah subhanho wa Taala. So this is why Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks of that category of people who refused to even talk about it. The first category we spoke about yesterday, that of Abdullah hypnobabies saloon, the one who created the fabrication, and

00:05:40 --> 00:05:44

Allah says, well, the towel qivana, whom in whom law has

00:05:45 --> 00:06:16

been the one who has created the fabrication, the one who has borne the brunt of the entire fabrication, he will indeed face or earn severe punishment, or great punishment. So those are the two categories one, those who refuse to talk to those who created the tail. But then there's a category in between and this is where you and I get caught up. Allah says, verse number 15 is de la kona hooby alsina Chico Mata una fuerza

00:06:17 --> 00:06:22

de la ku be here in buena who hanaa wahoo.

00:06:23 --> 00:06:30

de la Yami. Indeed, when you receive the news with your tongues,

00:06:31 --> 00:07:09

you know what is meant by receiving news with your tongue. Normally we receive news with our ears. When you relate whatever you get immediately. It's as though you received it with your tongue, rather than with your ears. You got it and it's forwarded. Have you noticed it? before you've read the whole message you just read one or two lines. And the next thing is forwarded to all your contacts. And nowadays, we have 100 people if not 200 in one little group, it's so easy to mess ourselves. May Allah subhanahu wa taala Forgive us, may he strengthen us. May Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us from dirtying our mouths, our tongues, our hearts, our minds. Now lagron does

00:07:09 --> 00:07:55

purity and cleanliness. So Allah says, When you receive the news with your tongues and you utter with your mouths which you do not know and you think it's something light, but in the eyes of Allah it is extremely big. It is something serious. So Allah says mankind takes some of these accusations is very light. It's only a small accusation. So what what did I do? I just I just said this might have happened. Allah says in your eyes, it's small in our eyes, it is something massive. Well who are the law? He alim in the eyes of Allah. It is a huge accusation. So be careful. My brothers and sisters, sometimes a person suffers because of our accusations. We consider it small and minor.

00:07:55 --> 00:08:37

Allah knows and they know how much they have suffered because of a little utterance that has come out of your mouth. Perhaps like we said yesterday, your world may be turned upside down and you won't know that it was because of a little utterance from your mouth. Be careful how you speak and be careful what you say about others. May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us protection, verse number 19. Allah subhanho wa Taala continues and remember these verses came down, one after the other, all have the same reason of Revelation. It was the incident of the accusation of eyeshadow, the Allahu Allah. So Allah says in Medina, Johann buena, Tashi Alfa Chateau Fini, Latina,

00:08:38 --> 00:08:41

la Houma, la fille

00:08:42 --> 00:09:31

de la, la, la, la La Mo, indeed those who love to spread immorality among the believers, and those who love to spread stories of immorality among the believers shall face a severe punishment in this world and the next four Indeed, Allah knows and you do not know. What does this mean? stories of immorality. You have a tale, true or false is besides the point, but we are believers, you see something that is immoral, something regarding adultery, fornication, *, something regarding immodesty, it is not the quality of a believer to spread that tale. It is not the quality of the believer to tell everyone else today, let's face facts, a lot of us are guilty. A lot of us are

00:09:31 --> 00:10:00

guilty of passing around dirty jokes, dirty, immoral, what we would tell below the belt jokes, and we think it's just a laugh. You don't realize you're a true believer. It's not a true believers quality to forward such jokes to forward such video clips to forward such messages. It's become so easy to miss ourselves. And I'm using this term because literally we become people who are clogged with that which is unacceptable. Where then will we

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

have space for Allah subhanho wa Taala you know your brain has a capacity, say for example, terabytes, gigabytes, whatever you want to say. The more you pack it up with images with videos and remember videos take up a lot of space, you know that

00:10:15 --> 00:10:55

images take up a lot of space, they occupy your mind your processing speed becomes slow you come in salla Allahu Akbar, before you realize you in Salah it's already a Salam or aleikum wa rahmatullah. Why because your mind is filled with *, dirty stories, bad tales, things that are true things that are false about people. What do you have to do with how the other person committed adultery? This is why sometimes it becomes dangerous to read these stories. Even in the media, we don't need to know the detail of how someone raped another person how someone committed adultery with another person. All it does is it contaminates the mind. And this is why as many we believe it

00:10:55 --> 00:11:35

is not befitting for us even to relate to others how the robber has stolen, because sometimes the weak minded will use that as a learning procedure. In order to know how to steal all I had to do was to read the Sunday Times. It gives me the details of how the bank robbery happened. Now I just need to scratch my head and say right, I know what to do. May Allah forgive us? If this is the case, then obviously we as believers should understand. Keep your mind fresh, keep it empty of these type of stories. ask Allah forgiveness, keep it filled with beautiful stories of the Sahaba the stories of goodness stories of piety, stories of loving people, stories of how people solve problems, how they

00:11:35 --> 00:12:10

repented to Allah rather than stories of sin. Look at what Allah says, Those who love to spread such stories amongst the believers, for them will be a severe punishment in this world. And then the next what did I say moments ago? Our lives are being turned upside down. We are struggling and suffering. We have everything material, but we don't have contentment. Perhaps it's because we are engaging in some of these deeds, and we don't even realize now Allah forgive us. My brothers and sisters Reality Check this beautiful eve of the month of Ramadan. A few nights remaining. Do you believe we just commenced the other day and we are already almost at the end of Ramadan. Subhan Allah.

00:12:11 --> 00:12:51

We ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to open our doors and to grant us goodness. And we ask Allah to help us not to relate tales that are full of immorality. My brothers and sisters I plead with you to think very carefully before you forward anything that someone has sent you on your mobile phone, be it on WhatsApp on Twitter, on Facebook, on any other platform you have think very, very hard. Will this message help you in the relation with you have with Allah subhanho wa Taala or not? If it's going to help you and assist you forwarded? If not, the best help you would be able to achieve is to delete it for the sake of Allah. May Allah subhanho wa Taala strengthen us go back to your phones

00:12:51 --> 00:13:25

this evening. And check in the phone images that are unacceptable messages, unacceptable videos unacceptable. Find it in your heart to delete it, it would be one of the biggest acts of worship for Laila to cuddle that you could engage in, besides those that are taught by Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam because we are cleaning ourselves we are cleansing the history, we are taking things out and we won't accept that again. someone sends you a message Tell them not me. Do you have the guts to do that for the sake of Allah? Or are you just gonna have a laugh and say No, okay, let's all have a laugh. My brothers and sisters, that's the contamination of the mind. May Allah subhanho wa Taala

00:13:25 --> 00:14:06

help us become pure? This is Surah two No, I said it yesterday. I repeat it today. When you have the modesty the cleanliness, the chastity, the clarity of mind and soul and heart, you will achieve a new on the Day of Judgment a light that will be unmatched May Allah grant that to us in this world, as well as the next we have a hadith with de Pon la also reported by Sharia law, teaching us something very, very powerful, very important. You know, when someone does bad against you, you obviously would the minimum is any good that you are doing to that person would stop. Let me give you an example. Say there is a poor person that you are helping every week or every month with food

00:14:06 --> 00:14:33

with a ration with something for the sake of Allah. And then that same poor person happens to utter bad words about you. And it's confirmed. It's not just a rumor. They speak very bad about you. They set the worst possible things about you what would you do minimum is you would stop giving them the rations you would stop giving them the amount you would stop donating to them because you would say let me donate to a better person. Let me give to someone else, not someone who's stabbing me I keep on giving them

00:14:34 --> 00:14:59

so aboubaker acidic rhodiola who used to spend on a man known as Mr. hibino. As hatha he was related to Abu Bakr, Siddiq, Allah and he was one of those who participated in the Battle of Badr as well. And he was one of those whose tongues were spoiled by the accusation. He did not create the tail. He may not have believed it as well, but all he did was he spread it. He just spoke to others. Hey, did you hear what people are saying about Alisha?

00:15:00 --> 00:15:33

They said no. He said, This is what they're saying. Did you hear what people are saying about Asia? They said no. He said, This is what they're saying. And he just spread the tape. You see, some of us won't even consider that a crime, you know that. All I'm doing is I'm just saying what people are saying. I didn't say it's true or false. That is a crime. Why contaminate the minds of the people regarding something you don't even know is true or false? Keep quiet and let them have a good idea of the person or the people. Why do you want to say something you don't even know True or false? This is a Muslim, this is Islam. Look at the purity. Look at the level we've gone to. And so high

00:15:33 --> 00:15:46

we're supposed to be upon May Allah subhanho wa Taala help us so Abu Bakr Siddiq, Allah who heard this people told him the mother of Mr. de la vida, we heard yesterday she told Sharia law. This is what my son is saying about you.

00:15:48 --> 00:16:03

And so, a boo boo Casa de la and who then decides, you know what, I'm spending money on him. I'm giving him money. He is one of the Mahajan who came, he did the hatred of America. He's a poor person. He's a relative, but I swear by Allah, I'm never going to spend money on this man again.

00:16:05 --> 00:16:34

Now you and I know is that actually wrong? It's up to him what he wants to do with his money. It's up to you who you want to give your money to. You want to donate a man speaking that you don't need to give him any more. It's up to you. It's not sinful to stop. But guess what Allah subhanho wa Taala revealed versus directed to Abu Bakr Siddiq de Laval and the lesson is for every one of us, verse number 22 or so to know listen to the beauty of the verse or Elijah Charlie oh no problem Namie Kumar Sadie

00:16:35 --> 00:16:36

to

00:16:38 --> 00:16:45

Masaki one Meza Aquino, aloha JD Nafisa, Benin,

00:16:47 --> 00:16:48

Walia,

00:16:49 --> 00:16:50

boo,

00:16:51 --> 00:16:52

boo,

00:16:55 --> 00:16:57

boo, boom, voila.

00:17:01 --> 00:17:29

Those with virtue and those with wealth, should not take an oath by Allah, that they will not spend upon their relatives and the poor and those who have made hegira Rather, they should forgive and forget they should forgive and embrace. Don't they want Allah to forgive them? Don't you want Allah to forgive you? Indeed Allah is most forgiving, Most Merciful.

00:17:30 --> 00:18:17

So Allah is telling Abu Bakr Siddiq, I gave you wealth, I gave you a virtue. Don't make an oath, that you're not going to spend on him. Give him It's okay. Allah will clarify Allah will purify, look, the name of eyeshadow, the lohana to this day is pure and clean by the Quran revealed by Allah subhanho wa Taala. We don't have a speck of doubt in that regard. So it hasn't harmed or tarnished her image, those who try to accuse her or speak bad about them spoiling their own image. May Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us. May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us a lesson. So here Allah is saying, we all have committed sin. We all require the forgiveness of Allah. If you forgive someone

00:18:17 --> 00:18:55

else, the chances of Allah forgiving you are far greater. It's not an easy one. It's not an easy one. People have wronged you, they've harmed you, every one of us, myself included. People have wronged us they have harmed us they have done things bad. Perhaps they have spread rumor, perhaps slander, whatever it is, we are human, it has to happen. So Allah says, You want Allah to forgive, you will learn to forgive others. That's a heavy one. It's a heavy one. But believe me, if you engage in it, you will arrive at a level of contentment, never ever tasted by yourself before. May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us all forgiveness. May He helped us to have big hearts so that we can

00:18:55 --> 00:19:32

forgive. Don't take advantage of it. Don't go back tonight and say Did you hear you better keep on forgiving me. So if I keep on stealing from you, it's okay. That's not what we are teaching. May Allah subhanho wa Taala help us to abstain from harming others. It's not a blanket. It's not a green light to do for us to wrong someone and keep on running them and say, here's the verse of the Quran, forgive me, and you do it again. Here's the verse of the Quran forgive me and you do it again. By that time Allah subhanho wa Taala says, may Allah subhanho wa Taala forgive us a person becomes unrepentant, unrepentant. When you are repentant, you try your best not to do it again. We ask Allah

00:19:32 --> 00:20:00

subhanho wa Taala for giving us What a beautiful lesson I always am inspired by how Allah beautifully reminds Abu Bakr Siddiq la de Laval to say you know what, well yeah for Allah to hit buena. Allahu Allah. Do you not want Allah to forgive you? Well then know that Allah is most forgiving, Most Merciful. So if you find it in your heart to let go of the sins others have committed against you. Allah will definitely let go of the sins you have committed.

00:20:00 --> 00:20:40

against him subhanho wa Taala by His mercy by his qudra and this is the verse where he promises that Allah subhanho wa Taala help us. Then we have a story reported in the Sierra tabari narrated by ADB tabet. He says there was a woman from among the unsub, who came to Mohammed Salah Salam was a major complaint according to her. Now, before I say the complaint, it affects a lot of us. You know, we have our houses and in the houses, we have our rooms, a lot of us have a room. And especially once you get married, you have your own room. Initially, perhaps when you grow a little bit older, perhaps more financially stable, you will have your own home challah, it might start off as a

00:20:40 --> 00:20:49

cottage at the back and later on it might be an apartment somewhere and after that, it will be a beautiful bungalow in one of the beautiful estates surrounding midrand Mashallah.

00:20:53 --> 00:21:08

But what happens is, as you are growing and you are growing older, you find people trample on your privacy, and that is something that hurts people a lot. You know, a married couple and you find mother in law walking into the room every little while for what it's not your room, my beloved mother.

00:21:09 --> 00:21:45

It's no longer your room you want to empty here you knock. If I say no, don't feel bad, go back and say Subhana Allah someone's exercised their right hamdulillah you need privacy. Privacy is something that isn't right given to every one of us, who are adults, by Allah subhanho wa Taala. Your cupboard is yours. Nobody, not even your father, your mother is allowed to actually open it. At a certain stage. Once you've achieved puberty and you are a responsible adult. That's it, it's yours. They want to open something they need to knock they need to ask you permission, then they will do it because it's now between you and Allah subhanho wa Taala May Allah open our doors. So this woman

00:21:45 --> 00:22:24

says a messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, I am in my part of the house. Now remember that time when they say the house, it's not a huge, you know, bungalow, like I said a few moments ago, but it's a room. It's called Hydra. It's it's a room, the loo and the bathroom is actually a distance from the enclosure. It's somewhere far away. They used to walk through the desert sometimes to get to the toilet with us. The toilet is right next to the paper. May Allah forgive us. It's called on sweets. I wonder why. So my brothers and sisters, the woman is complaining. She says, You know what? I am in my room. And I am dressed in a way that I wouldn't like people to see me not even my father

00:22:24 --> 00:22:36

or my son. And you know, these people walk in and they come like it's their own property, and they want to walk in and I'm not even appropriately dressed. Don't we have some form of privacy? Isn't there supposed to be something that protects us?

00:22:37 --> 00:23:14

What a beautiful question this complaint people have it to this day. And sometimes you think I'm the owner of the house, I'm allowed to do anything No way. If someone lives in that home and you've allowed them to live in the home, it doesn't mean that you have full access to every way give them their privacy, even though you may own the home. If you want them to vacate inform them, give them some notice, but you don't just go in barge in as though I'm the boss. I'm the owner I can do what I want. No way. If you're a Mormon and you believe in Allah, you give the people that do right now Allah subhanho wa Taala help us. So Allah subhanho wa Taala obviously, this woman came complaining

00:23:14 --> 00:23:24

to Mohammed Salah Salah, and the verses were revealed the following verses verse number 27 of sudo to noon, beautiful. Yeah, are you Hello? Deena

00:23:26 --> 00:23:28

Ooh, boo, boo, boo.

00:23:30 --> 00:23:33

boo, boo Salim Allah.

00:23:35 --> 00:24:18

Oh, you who believe. Do not enter the houses that are not yours until you seek permission and you greet the inhabitants of the home. I need to knock on the door As salam o Alaikum. And I will be told Do you know what I will be told to enter? Or did you know in Islam, someone can tell you don't come in. Please. Can you go away? That is right. The Quran says will kill Allah como Gee, oh, gee, oh, who was Calico and if you are told to go away, go away. It's better for you. Try telling someone go away. I think it will be headlines in the paper the following day. Allah forgive us. today. We don't acknowledge the rights of people. Really? You found someone they have a right to answer it or

00:24:18 --> 00:24:19

not?

00:24:20 --> 00:24:57

May Allah subhanho wa Taala forgive us. You knock on the door. They have a right to tell you listen, I'm busy. Please come back later. And What irritates is today we have technology of perhaps the highest level. We cannot be decent enough to phone to make a little appointment to say look, I'm planning on coming to your house at 330. Is it okay? They will just say okay, so you'd rather before embarking on the journey. Just get the clearance in the garden. The problem with us we picked up at the time of Sapa by the word of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And then they say Come and eat. No, no, no, I don't want but your intention was to join in the meal, isn't it? Forgive us.

00:24:58 --> 00:24:59

Let that hypocrisy

00:25:00 --> 00:25:34

not keeping my brothers and sisters, let's understand Allah will ask us how we use technology. This technology needs to be used in a beautiful way. Let them know ask them if they tell you listen, not 330 come tomorrow, you might tell them I'm busy tomorrow, well then the next day and you will make a plan. That's a moment. That's a believer Don't feel bad. If someone doesn't have the time, imagine. And I want to tell you this, because I've seen it in my own life. You know, when someone comes or when you go to someone's house, and they were planning an outing to the lake, and you picked up at 11 o'clock in the morning, and you want to sit for lunch, and they were planning a picnic elsewhere.

00:25:34 --> 00:25:37

They're cursing you for as long as you're sitting there, you know that.

00:25:39 --> 00:25:53

I remember when I was young, I went with my mother to a certain house a true story. And I saw on the door, a sticker. And the sticker said, We are very happy upon your arrival. But we will be even happier when you depart.

00:25:54 --> 00:25:58

I was shocked. I told my mother this and she said Let's go home.

00:26:00 --> 00:26:21

And the Auntie was swearing that it was just a joke and my mother says you don't joke like that. May Allah subhanho wa Taala forgive us my brothers and sisters. This is just the etiquette, the etiquette that we are supposed to be following. Allah says don't enter a house that's not yours. Knock on it once Wait, knock twice. Wait again. Knock Christ still no response. turn around and walk away Subhan Allah

00:26:22 --> 00:26:59

May Allah subhanho wa Taala help us in every single way. I mean, then we had to make mention of integration where when this verse was revealed not to enter the homes of Booba Casa de la and who asks Mohammed salatu salam O Messenger, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, you know, I Oh, we traveled from Mecca Medina, we go to a sham and on the way there are certain houses that are in uninhabited. Nobody lives in these houses. What about those houses? We knock on those houses, there's no one in it. If we greet there's no one there. So what should we do regarding the houses that no one is living in sometimes there's a warehouse or a little, you know, they call it a rest house on the

00:26:59 --> 00:27:29

path. And in those days, they just used to have little rooms and anyone was Welcome to make use of it. So you would go there, perhaps you would open up make sure there's no one in there. And then you would make use of it to rest for a few hours perhaps so Baba Casa de for the Allahu anhu asked Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam this question. So verse number 29, was reviewed as a clarification. Ladies Allah income Jonah Han takanobu 10 viruses Rama schooner fi hamata comm

00:27:30 --> 00:28:05

there is no harm for you to enter a home, that is uninhabited. No one stays there. If there is something of yours in there, say for example, you left some of your belongings on the way on the path. And you know, you are allowed to do that. And you know that you have access or allowed entry into the place, then you don't have to knock in weight because you know, there's no one there and you know, the property is yours. You are not trampling upon the right of someone, rather you are exercising your own right. So this was quite a beautiful clarification delivered on this particular occasion. And the lesson is for every single one of us,

00:28:06 --> 00:28:45

even though I'd be Hatem also makes mention of integration whereby and we've spoken about this when we were dealing with Sula to Nyssa earlier, where, at the time of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam there were some hypocrites who used to whenever they had a, an issue or whenever they had a dispute with someone, they used to study the dispute and they used to ask themselves, if I go to Mohammed Salah Salah, he is going to now issue a decree according to the Quran and the Sunnah, obviously, meaning according to the low of Allah subhanho wa Taala, will I gain anything? If the answer was yes, they will click to go. If the answer was no, they opted to go to the fortune tellers and the

00:28:45 --> 00:28:48

others from among the people of other faiths.

00:28:49 --> 00:29:04

So Allah subhanho wa Taala exposes such people. One of the verses exposing these people was number 48 of surah. Two and the following verses Allah says, what he died in a law he was Sunni helia Kumar abena, whom he

00:29:08 --> 00:29:09

was he

00:29:10 --> 00:29:53

had to lie Mussolini, when they are called in order to solve their matters, according to the Sharia, then they a group from amongst them turns away, but if they find that they are gaining something by doing that they are the first to go and the first to make sure that they get the right. I think this seeps into our lives as well. Sometimes we're people when they've got a problem, financial problem, family problem, marital issue, or any other issue. The weakness is we are Muslim, and we want to sort it out according to the Sharia, yes. But the minute you find out Sherry is going to give custody to the men or the wife, we are quick to say no, I prefer to go to the court. Let's let's

00:29:53 --> 00:29:59

understand, you want to adopt the Sharia, you want to adopt Islam, well, then you better adopted if you call yourself a Muslim. You are a person

00:30:00 --> 00:30:14

who surrenders to Allah. Don't look at what whether you are gaining or not in order to decide whether you will be going to Muhammad Sallallahu wasallam for the solution or you are going to the shape and for the solution. Now Allah subhanho wa Taala, forgive us, and may He opened our doors.

00:30:15 --> 00:30:53

The last point of the Surah Surah Noor verse number 63, is a verse that teaches us the respect of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and in turn the respect of those who are older than us, the respect of those who are knowledgeable, the respect of those who have taught us a thing or two, the respect of those who are senior citizens and so on. Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks about Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, and this is a narration mentioned by a boomerang narration of an apostle Viola and he says that some of the people used to address Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam as though they were addressing one another. You know, you call someone first name. They call someone by the first name.

00:30:53 --> 00:31:34

So Allah subhanho wa Taala tells them don't address Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam as though he is one of you. You need to address him with respect what is the respect? You say? Rasool Allah or nebia Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So instead of saying his first name, you would say Yasser Allah Allah, Yana be Allah. So the Sahaba della Han who were taught this, and that is what they used to say. Those are the terms they used to use that of respect. And like I said, for us in our lives, let's learn to respect those who are older than us, our parents, those who are senior citizens, those who are knowledgeable, those who have helped us those who have taught us our teachers and so

00:31:34 --> 00:31:44

on. We ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to help us to respect those who have been given this respect by Allah subhanho wa Taala. So this was number 63. Allah says

00:31:47 --> 00:31:51

Sunni Bane Aconcagua II bah

00:31:52 --> 00:32:17

bah bah, do not make the calling of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam similar to the calling of one of you to another. There needs to be a distinguishing factor. I think I've just explained this. We ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to benefit us all and to grant this goodness until we meet again tomorrow. masala Allahu wa Sallim wa barik ala nabina Muhammad Subhan Allah Subhana Allah homopolymeric shadow Allah Allah Allah, Allah to Bulik
