			kulu salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato. Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim al hamdu Lillah wa Salatu
was Salam ala rasulillah Allah, Allah He was happy I mean, my brothers and sisters, some people
reject the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. Some people reject the Hadith. If we
reject the Hadith, we will not be able to achieve contentment because we won't be able to practice
Islam. Islam is being brought to us by Allah subhanho wa Taala from Allah subhanho wa Taala. He is
the source of everything the revelation that came to us is divided into two, one, the verses that
were recited that are words of Allah subhanho wa Taala. To the detailed explanations, the words of
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:15
			the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him that Allah subhanho wa Taala has asked us to follow. Let's
listen to this beautiful verse of Surah Nisa, verse number 65. fell out of megillah You mean owner
had you had chemo caffee Mashallah bang home soon.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:20
			fee for seeing him Hi, Roger,
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:57
			Cabo, San Lima, Lima. Ne they're not considered true believers until they make you and your decision
final regarding the disputes between them, and later, they don't feel any narrowness of their hearts
regarding that particular decision. What this means is, whatever disputes we have the Prophet
Muhammad peace be upon him the decision is final. This verse is one of the verses that all the
scholars mentioned when it comes to hajiya to Suna, which means
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:38
			the validity of the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam the fact that we must adopt
what the messenger has said, if he has said something and declared something it is considered a
declaration for me to so the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam his decision and what he has said
regarding disputes between the people of the oma, that is final. You're not supposed to feel in your
heart any narrowness regarding that decision. That is what Allah subhanho wa Taala says. So my
brothers and sisters, those who don't accept the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, his
statements, his words and his teachings. They cannot call themselves Muslim because they haven't
		
00:02:38 --> 00:03:18
			believed in the second part of the Shahada. The first part is assured to Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah,
I bear witness there is none worthy of worship besides Allah. The second part is watch, how do I
know Mohammedan Rasulullah and I bear witness that Muhammad peace be upon him is the Messenger of
Allah. How can we say that we are Muslim mean when we haven't accepted the statements of the
messenger? Who is the messenger of Islam, Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, if you're looking
for contentment, you must definitely adopt what the prophet peace be upon him has said. So this is a
very important verse that I started with today. And I continue to another verse with a similar
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:26
			meaning verse number 80, Allah subhanho wa Taala says, Many Rasul Allah falcoda, Allah
		
00:03:29 --> 00:04:06
			whoever has followed the messenger has definitely followed Allah. How's that? Subhana Allah, you
want contentment, follow the messenger of peace be upon him, his way, his style, his habits, and
whatever he has brought to us in terms of teachings. May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us a deeper
understanding. And this is why to achieve contentment, Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks about how
important it is to ponder over the verses of the Quran. let's admit many of us are guilty of reading
the Quran without understanding it. As much as we will get a reward for every letter that we do read
even if it is without understanding.
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:50
			There is an equivalent reward, if not greater, to actually understand the Quran, put it into
practice and teach it to others. May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us a greater reward. contentment
is definitely achieved by recitation of the Quran without a doubt, greater contentment is achieved
by trying to understand what is meant by the Quran, putting it into practice and conveying it to
others. Your right and my right regarding the Quran is not only for us to recite its verses in the
month of Ramadan how many of us read the Quran, and we've recited it and we cover it from cover to
cover. We have actually read it so much. But how many of us have actually gone into its meanings,
		
00:04:50 --> 00:05:00
			put them into practice, conveyed them to others learned and got the answers of questions that we
might have found while we were reading. We got the answer.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:27
			From the experts, how many of us have done that? If you are to spend time with the Quran, you will
achieve contentment. The Quran is the word of the owner of contentment. If you'd like contentment,
you definitely have to study that word. You have to recite it you have to listen to it as well.
Listen with concentration. If you listen with concentration, you will achieve so much more than you
imagine. May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us goodness, verse number 82, Allah says,
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:31
			Allah tada Bellona loco,
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:58
			are they not going to consider deeply and studied deeply the verses of the Quran? May Allah subhanho
wa Taala grant us contentment thereafter, verse number 86 of the same Surah Surah Nisa, Allah
teaches us how to achieve contentment in another beautiful way, interactions with one another. The
first point of interaction is supposed to be a greeting. Listen to what Allah says.
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:06
			What either he told me to hear for how you be accent I mean, how
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:55
			do in aloha Can I land in Hacienda? When you are greeted with a greeting, then respond with a better
greeting? Or at least reply it with an equal greeting For indeed a lot takes account of everything.
How beautiful is that? The importance of greeting, greet in a better way. If someone has greeted you
in a lousy way perhaps they may not have been concentrating, you know, they may not have greeted you
properly. If you greet back in a better way. The chances of you being content far greater because
you have a clean heart. If someone just said a salaam aleikum, and you said what Allah como Salah
warahmatullah wabarakatuh. Doesn't it show genuineness? Doesn't it show a clean heart? But if
		
00:06:55 --> 00:07:09
			someone were to say Salaam Alaikum and you didn't even reply, it is sinful. Secondly, the one who
commences with the greeting is actually free from pride, he will have greater contentment. What are
you losing by greeting people?
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:48
			May Allah subhanho wa Taala make it easy for us? Yes, some people are toxic. When they're toxic and
they have harmed you and they continue to harm you. You may want to just greet them and that's it.
No extra discussion. But the greeting is something you should not avoid or you should not stay away
from learn to greet and learn to respond to the greeting in an even better way. If you are greeted
May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us contentment and May Allah subhanho wa Taala help us all. Then I
move on to verse number 112 of the same surah where Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks about the various
levels of sin.
		
00:07:49 --> 00:08:11
			If you'd like contentment, don't ever accuse someone else of a sin they haven't committed. If you do
that, you will lose contentment and you may even lose the hereafter completely. Listen to what Allah
subhanho wa Taala says verse number 112 Surah Nisa what many oxy bahagi
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:22
			Some may have maybe body fat body tamela bone Malabo, Tana falcoda tamela
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:24
			Mann
		
00:08:26 --> 00:09:16
			Bina whoever has earned a sin and then accuses someone who is innocent of the sin, they've thrown it
on to them. Allah says they have indeed engaged in a huge slander and a grave sin a grave sin, but
Bhutan and what if man Medina clear sin? May Allah protect us? One is to sin. If a person has
sinned, they can seek forgiveness of Allah, Allah will forgive them. But what is more important is
or what is worse should I say is when a person has sinned and they accuse someone else of the sin,
or they accuse an innocent person of a sin that that person did not commit? In that particular case,
you are doomed. Many of us are suffering today, because we have soiled our mouths with that which is
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:29
			absolutely dirty and filthy. Regarding someone else that is not true. Maintain silence. Keep quiet,
it's better for you. If you don't have something good to say. The Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him
says Keep quiet.
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:35
			When can I you know biLlahi Wm in a hurry follicle hiren Alia Smith.
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:43
			Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should only utter that which is upright and beneficial or
remain silent.
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:59
			That's the Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. It's amazing. If we are to follow this
Hadeeth I promise you we will achieve contentment how many of us lose sleep because of a statement
we've uttered because of perhaps something we've said on social media
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:44
			Then we regret it. It's too late sometimes. May Allah subhanho wa Taala forgive us never ever
accused people never ever slander and falsely accused those who are innocent of a sin because it
will come back to haunt you. And that's what we are talking about the lack of contentment. May Allah
subhanho wa Taala grant us contentment. I mean, the last verse that I'd like to speak about in this
beautiful session is where Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks about resolving problems and matters he
speaks about marital discord, and he speaks about how important it is to resolve marital Discord.
And then he tells us always remember that to resolve a problem is better than to break the marriage
		
00:10:44 --> 00:11:00
			Subhanallah and to resolve problems with anyone, any member of the oma is always the best thing to
do was soul Hawaii. And indeed, resolving the matter is always better.
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:42
			Amazing what Allah subhanho wa Taala is telling us, it is difficult, that's why it is better. If it
were easy, perhaps the reward wouldn't be so big. You know, when Allah tells you if you do something
you will earn Jenna, that means that particular thing is probably very difficult to achieve. When
you resolve problems, Allah says it's better for you, your contentment, your happiness long term you
don't know. Yes, it may be very difficult. I must declare my brothers and sisters that divorce is
permissible. But as a last resort, the breakup of a relationship is permissible. But as a last
resort, it is still better to resolve if you can, if you really cannot, then respectfully
		
00:11:42 --> 00:12:07
			respectfully, you may terminate a relationship respectfully you may go your own ways, because in
that particular way, Allah subhanho wa Taala will protect us and our offspring from that which is
toxic. May Allah subhanho wa Taala bless every one of us. Remember when we separate perhaps if we do
so respectfully, we will still achieve contentment. May Allah bless you all akula Polly hada Sol
