00:00:00--> 00:00:01

You know what? You're gonna have to bear

00:00:01--> 00:00:03

patience, regarding a few things maybe.

00:00:04--> 00:00:06

They might be an asset or they might

00:00:06--> 00:00:06

not be. The prophet

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

tells us about the Masjid. That when you

00:00:09--> 00:00:11

go to the masjid, make sure there is

00:00:11--> 00:00:13

no foul smell coming from you.

00:00:13--> 00:00:14

If you've eaten

00:00:14--> 00:00:16

something strong, eaten

00:00:16--> 00:00:19

garlic. You know, garlic sauce is a condiment

00:00:19--> 00:00:21

that a lot of us

00:00:21--> 00:00:24

really enjoy when you're dipping the right thing

00:00:24--> 00:00:25

in that sauce.

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

Sorry for speaking about it just before we're

00:00:27--> 00:00:29

opening our fast, but it's one of those

00:00:29--> 00:00:31

things. And you dip it, and what happens?

00:00:32--> 00:00:34

Your mouth, you don't realize you enjoyed it,

00:00:34--> 00:00:35

but you go to someone, salamah.

00:00:37--> 00:00:38

As you want to open your mouth and

00:00:38--> 00:00:40

the person is like, oh, you're saying salamah

00:00:40--> 00:00:42

alaykum. It's more like smell alaykum. You know?

00:00:42--> 00:00:43

May Allah

00:00:44--> 00:00:45

forgive us.

00:00:46--> 00:00:48

Allah tells us through the blessed lips of

00:00:48--> 00:00:50

Muhammad salallahu alayhi wa sallam that if you're

00:00:50--> 00:00:52

coming to the Masjid, make sure you've gargled,

00:00:52--> 00:00:55

you've eaten onion or garlic or something strong.

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

If that is the case, and it is,

00:00:57--> 00:00:59

what about if your perspiration is really, you

00:00:59--> 00:01:01

know, on 99.9?

00:01:02--> 00:01:04

What would you have to do? Wallahi, you'd

00:01:04--> 00:01:05

have to

00:01:05--> 00:01:08

ensure that you're smelling good. You know, perfume

00:01:08--> 00:01:12

or something decent or an underarm earlier on

00:01:12--> 00:01:14

in the day so that when you come,

00:01:14--> 00:01:16

you're okay. You're not harming people with your,

00:01:16--> 00:01:18

what you call, a scent, but they might

00:01:18--> 00:01:19

call a stench.

00:01:20--> 00:01:21

And why I say that is because some

00:01:21--> 00:01:24

people enjoy onion, but they don't realize, wow,

00:01:24--> 00:01:26

that was so good. The next person doesn't

00:01:26--> 00:01:27

think the same.

00:01:28--> 00:01:30

So we need to be so conscious of

00:01:30--> 00:01:32

a smell, a foul smell as believers.

00:01:33--> 00:01:35

Imagine if you're harming them with your mouth,

00:01:35--> 00:01:37

with your words, and physically.

00:01:37--> 00:01:40

How would that be? Don't you see that

00:01:40--> 00:01:40

the blessed

00:01:41--> 00:01:42

teachings of Islam

00:01:42--> 00:01:45

are such that we would be the biggest

00:01:45--> 00:01:48

assets to those whom we interact with on

00:01:48--> 00:01:49

a daily basis?

00:01:49--> 00:01:52

Biggest assets. If you pass me on the

00:01:52--> 00:01:54

path by the will of Allah, I will

00:01:54--> 00:01:55

ensure that somehow

00:01:56--> 00:01:57

May Allah make us that way.

00:01:56--> 00:01:57

May Allah make us that way.
