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