00:00:00 --> 00:00:04
			My brothers, my sisters. The Sahaba radiallahu anhu
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:07
			fought for us. They they embraced others. They
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			opened their hearts. It must have been a
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:11
			struggle but by the help of Allah it
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:14
			was made easy. Imagine strange people coming to
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			your home. You share half of what you
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			want you have from the bottom of your
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			heart. We are so clingy, we will not
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:21
			allow
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:25
			our brothers to drive the new BMW
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			that we've bought.
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:29
			You see?
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			Don't even drive this. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait.
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:32
			Don't drive. And you know what's the excuse?
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			You're not insured on it. I agree you're
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			not insured on it. Good. But move it
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			down the drive. Come on. Now you're not
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			allowed. It's illegal. And you know in your
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			heart, don't want it. Just now he's gonna
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			scratch the car.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46
			Scratch the car. The sahaba radiallahu anhu scratched
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:47
			their pockets and took out whatever they had
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			and said, listen. This is mine. Take half
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			and we share it. Abdul Rahman ibn Nawaf
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:54
			radiAllahu anhu went out into the marketplace. He
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			says, show me where's the market. There's the
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:57
			market. He came back in the evening with
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			a prophet. Allahu Akbar.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:01
			He made money.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			Little while later, subhanallah, he made a lot
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			of money. Sometime later he was known as
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08
			one of the richest of the sahaba radiAllahu
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			anhu. May Allah grant us all sustenance.
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			May we all see the first 1,000,000,000 soon.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			You don't know whether I was talking about
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			Zimbabwe dollars,
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			or pounds or what it was. But mind
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27
			you, that Amin was quite interesting.
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:31
			May Allah grant us 1,000,000,000 of rewards. My
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			brothers and sisters,
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			I tell you something very interesting.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			Allah praises the companions
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			in the Quran.
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			I start off with the end of that
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:11
			verse. Allah describes the Muhajireen who were the
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:14
			first people to accept Islam in Makkah as
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:14
			as sadiqun.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:18
			The truthful ones. No matter what persecution
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:21
			came in their direction, they did not give
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			up their faith. If anything it made them
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			strong.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			And they became those who were loved by
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:29
			Allah. Allah says those poor muhajirun,
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:33
			those poor people who were driven out of
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:33
			their homes.
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:38
			And their wealth was taken away from them.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			Because
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:42
			they were
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			calling out to Allah alone.
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			Allah says for the sake of Allah they
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			left, and they had to leave their wealth
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			behind. They were driven out of their homes.
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:54
			Allah says,
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:57
			they were the ones seeking the virtue of
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:00
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. And the messenger sallallahu
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			alaihi wa sallam. They are the truthful ones.
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			Imagine you're driven out of your homes.
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			Imagine all your wealth taken.
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			If a day comes when you lose things,
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:15
			always think of those better than you in
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:16
			the eyes of Allah who lost more than
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:18
			you. And it will help you.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			It will help you. They lost a lot.
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			Allah praised them in the Quran. Allah says
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			for them is Jannah. Then Allah says, as
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:27
			for those who lived in Madinah already, and
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			they had their homes in Madinah already, and
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:32
			they opened their homes for those who were
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:33
			coming in as muhajireen.
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:37
			And they gave away things that they desperately
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			needed
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			because the other one needed it. Allahu Akbar.
