Allah Almighty doesn't want you to be just
a worshipper and that's it.
No.
Islam doesn't teach us to be devout worshipper
in a sense of offering what we call
rituals.
Salah and fasting and hajj and that's it.
What about dealing with people?
When Omar bin Khattab heard two people talking
to each other, one was making a recommendation,
this guy should trust him.
He said, do you know him?
He said, I know him very well.
Is he your neighbor?
He said, no.
Did he happen to travel with him?
Not either.
Did you do business with him?
He said, no.
Oh, you must have seen him going to
the masjid.
He said, yeah.
He said, that is not sufficient.
To judge somebody whether he's good or bad,
deal with him.
In business, in trade, see how he treats
his family members, his parents, his spouse, his
children, his colleagues.
So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has
said, and he refers to the believers or
all people regardless of their faith.
All people, believers and non-believers.
He dealt with the Jews in Medina very
well sallallahu alayhi wa sallam until they violated
the treaties.
Then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam showed
them zero tolerance because he's given them chances
after chances.
But above all, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said, Be well mannered in your relationships
with all people.
Wallahi, wallahi.
People would come to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam with the intention of stabbing him,
poisoning him or killing him.
Once they converse with him, they become Muslims.
They sacrifice their lives for the sake of
saving the life of Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam.
Sulaiman ibn Athal was simply the worst enemy
to the Prophet and Muslims.
When he was captured as a prisoner of
war, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
Keep him in the masjid.
Yes, fasten his hands and feet against one
of the walls of the masjid, but keep
him in the masjid.
Feed him from wherever you eat.
Here in the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
leading the prayers, three days, three days and
three nights.
Then after the third day, the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam said, So mammy, you're good
to go.
He said, What?
For free?
No compensation?
Nothing?
No ransom?
He said, You're good to go.
He stayed outside the masjid.
Then he returned back to sit before the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and said, Ya
Rasulallah, ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah wa
annaka rasulullah.
By Allah, when they captured me, no one
on earth I hated as much as I
hated you.
No name was hated to my heart as
much as your name and your deen and
your religion.
But now, by Allah, you are the dearest
person to my heart and your religion is
the dearest religion to my heart.
Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah wa ash
-hadu anna muhammada rasulullah.
May the Almighty perfect our manners.
May the Almighty make our inside better than
the outside.
