Alameen wa Kibito limita kin wala Odwalla in olive Alameen wa sallahu Allah say dill Evelina,
Valerian and Avena Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi remain my dear brothers and sisters Welcome to
another episode in the series of Best of the Best today insha Allah we're going to enjoy learning.
Another fascinating Hadith in which the Prophet sallallahu Sallam refers to the best of people, and
there's the best of x. It's about the best of people, the one who is observing jihad for the sake of
Allah, and in his way, the Hadith reads as follows an alternative nirsa may Allah be pleased with
		
00:01:18 --> 00:02:10
			him? He narrated that Allah Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam, ala Bureau can be hired in nasem and
Zylon. Shall I not inform you about the best of all people before Allah subhanaw taala who has the
highest status before the Almighty Allah? The Prophet was asking his companions, then he immediately
delivered the answer, Raju alone hidden beer in any Pharisee he Yoda who feeds me Lila and then who
takes the rain off his horse to observe jihad in the way of Allah? Then he followed that by another
question by saying, Allah off Bureau can be hired in Nancy Manziel and BARDA. Who shall I not inform
you about the next best? Then he said the next best is Rajon Mata zileuton Fiona Inoty, your chemo
		
00:02:10 --> 00:03:04
			solid? What is the kereta? Why are Buddha Allah Leia who should equal be shy a man who lives alone
with a few sheep, he's offering his prayers his pain his aka and he is worshiping Allah alone and
not associating with him any in worship. We have two interesting conditions. But number one, let me
share with you that the superiority of each one of these individuals is not an absolute superiority
because there is another Hadith which says in a min hyginus, from among the best of people. So there
are people who may be equal to that or superior. Like those who observe jihad for the sake of Allah.
Meanwhile, they are in charge of teaching people goodness, the aroma and the leaders of the OMA
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:53
			right. And the second segment of the next best is not necessarily true at all times because the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam referred to the eurosla or isolating yourself or living by yourself
and avoiding people and avoiding the public, only in certain circumstances which are known as when
the fitna becomes widespread. And the fitna here refers to when people are fighting and killing each
other. They're not fighting the enemies, rather than fighting against each other and there is plenty
of bloodshed and mischief. So avoiding all of that and living by yourself, even if you end up being
a shipper taking care of a few sheep. And you just offer your prayers you do whatever is required,
		
00:03:53 --> 00:04:00
			you're required to do and you do not associate purpose to Allah and worship during this time, there
is a second best.
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:23
			The Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, in many a hadith spoke about the duty and the recommendation of
observing jihad. And the word jihad is mentioned in the Quran repeatedly and the Sunnah. Sometimes
it is mentioned as a reference to struggle against one's inner desire, or a struggle to be a better
person
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:59
			or a struggle to maintain righteousness and steadfastness on the straight path check if you want and
number 69 of Surah Alenka Bucha in which Allah Almighty says well, Lavina Jahad woofie in Lana de
Yun Han su Bolena, were in law helemaal Morsi Nene. So those who struggle for Allah sake, Allah
promises to guide them to his three paths, and he says he is certainly with the good doors. So there
are various forms of
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:05
			Sahgal and jihad. One of them is defending the Muslims.
		
00:05:06 --> 00:06:02
			Religion, defending the OMA defending their soil, defending their weak people and defending the Dawa
itself. Right? Every nation on earth has an army to protect it, to defend it against the
perpetrators, and again is the aggressions of others. And that is something which is the pure right
of every nation to defend itself. Similarly, the Muslim ummah, and the Muslim army, and those who
are enrolled in the army are known as Mujahideen, because they do struggle, you call them the
military, the Army, the Navy, basically, they're all struggling for the sake of Allah subhanho wa
taala, observing the etiquette, which is explained by the Prophet sallallahu sallam, in this regard.
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:06
			As he said, Whenever he used to sin, an army, he said,
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:57
			sit out in the name of Allah. Later we'll look while Adam do do not steal, do not betray, lead up to
lower lead and Salah and do not target the word Walid youngsters, young boys young girls, so that
refers to your target is not the civilians your target is those who fight against you. Those who are
in the military uniform or those who are actually carrying weapons and fighting against you. And
Allah Almighty said in Surah Al Baqarah, katello feasability line Ladino ukata Luna coo wala Tata do
in Hola Hola, yo, Hepburn Mati. So fight in the way of Allah again is those who fight against you,
but transfigures not because Allah likes not the transgressions. The translation is in the form of,
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:19
			you know, attacking civilians, destroying homes, targeting innocent people, the Prophet sallallahu
Sallam order to avoid completely targeting the worshipers in their places of worship. It is true
that there are no Muslims, but you do not hurt them in their places of worship, you do not target
their places of worship,
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:26
			even though there are no Muslims, because the Prophet sallallahu Sallam commanded so. So now
		
00:07:28 --> 00:08:12
			there are various forms of observing jihad in the way of Allah as well. There are those who are
active members who are serving in the duty and they are being deployed here and there in active
combat, and there are those who are guarding the borders of the Muslim ummah. And they spend the
time there and it is very risky, because they are on the borders between us as a Muslim Ummah,
Muslim state, Muslim country, and perhaps the enemies so that Muslims go to sleep in their homes
safe and secure, because they know that they have a strong army that is observing jihad to protect
them. And that's why they go to sleep safely.
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:34
			Abdullah Hypno Omar in the hot tub may Allah be pleased with him the rated that the Messenger of
Allah peace be upon him said, Ella on a bill can be lettin Abdullah me Laylatul Qadr. It's very
interesting. He said, the Messenger of Allah said to them once Shall I not inform you about a night
which is even greater than the night of al Qaeda.
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:40
			And you know that Lena to Kadri is better than 1000 month that is more than 83 years.
		
00:08:42 --> 00:09:21
			So they certainly are prophet of Allah as it had is on Hara Sufi or the how often a god a border
control an Army soldier who is guarding the borders of the Muslim soil. It's very possible that he
may not come back. He is taking the risk of exposing himself to guard his country to guard his
people to guard his religion against the invasion of the aggressors. So the Prophet sallallahu
sallam said, you spend a single night like that that is even superior to the worship which is
offered on Laila to God. Abdullah Ahmed Mahatama Radi Allahu Anhu said once to his,
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25
			you know, gathering of the people who are sitting with him,
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:59
			as soon as the other module he asked them, Which one has the greatest reward. So people suggested
those who have Allah those who first every day or every other day, those who pray on every single
night, those who get that much into charity. And they also mentioned certain people by their name,
Alma Katara, the Allah and said, Let me inform you about the person who has the greatest reward ever
better than even offering the salah on every single night in 200 and fasten on every single day.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:47
			He said Roger Stone if you don't believe me Pharisee yet law who is also Muslimeen a man who's
holding the rain off his horse, he is guarding and protecting Muslims. layer three. He's not really
sure what is going to happen to him and several on yesterday so maybe a wild animal will attack him
and devour him. And Hannah can tell devil or a scorpion or a snake that will bite him. Oh I do want
to share it's possible that an enemy a Sniper will shoot him and he will die right on the spot. So
he said there is a person who has a greater reward than a person who's fasting on regular basis and
offering the night prayer on a regular basis. Sadly miss out on all the Allah Juan narrated that
		
00:10:47 --> 00:11:38
			also Allah is Allah Allahu alayhi wa sallam assayed rebel to yo min fee Sabine Allah Hi Ramona dunya
Juana la ha SubhanAllah. About is to hold your position as a border control guard in the Muslim camp
or the Muslim soil or the Muslim borders. The Prophet sallallahu sallam said spin in a single night
in this position, few sabini Allah is better than the whole world and what it contains. That's why
the great companion Abdullah Heppner, Allah used to say that spin in such night for the sake of
Allah as a god is better for me than donating and giving in a charity 100 camels fee sebelah because
now I'm not just giving my words I'm giving my self and my entire life Rasulullah sallallahu Alia
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:49
			selama said in the sound Hadith, which is agreed upon its authenticity Lavon what on visa vie Rohan
Jairo Mina dunya mafia, Allah wa is to set out in the early morning with the army
		
00:11:50 --> 00:12:18
			to protect your Muslim state, your religion, your people sitting out early morning or Raha sitting
out in the evening, even knowing so once that is better for you than the whole dunya and what it
contains To be continued in sha Allah this interesting subject. After we returned from a short
break, please stay tuned. Islam is a way of life a complete
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:36
			plead with me it's complete with me
		
00:12:38 --> 00:13:23
			as Salaam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh and welcome back in surah Tauba, chapter number nine
and number 111. A lot Almighty explained to us the deal which he made with the believers who offer
themselves for the sake of Allah to protect the religion and to protect the rest of the believers by
observing the form of jihad off protecting people for the sake of Allah and protecting the religion
and God in their identity and blocking the attacks and the invasion of the aggressors. So he said in
Allah hashtag Amina Mina and foster home while I'm while at home, here is a deal. Allah has
purchased look at the treat from the believers themselves, their souls, their bodies and their
		
00:13:23 --> 00:14:10
			wealth. And what is the return? What kind of compensation do they get? The N Allah whom will Jana?
That word, the compensation will be paradise, and how would that be achieved? He say Ducati Luna, if
you Sevilla, they fight for the sake of Allah Felco to Luna while Yokota loon so they may kill they
may get killed. Wow. Then Allah He had God this is quite interesting. This promise was not revealed
to us only as Muslims in the Quran, or after Prophet Muhammad was commissioned with the prophethood
No, that is something that Allah Almighty has offered to the believers before us. He said word and
Allah He helped confit Marathi while in G while Quran. This promise was delivered by Allah Almighty.
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:52
			The true promise was delivered in the Torah, to Prophet Moses in the Gospel to Prophet Jesus. And
finally, in the Quran, woman Alpha via D. Min Allah, who fulfills His promise better and more than
Allah Almighty. Allah the Almighty also gave superiority to those who sacrifice their lives and
their wealth for his sake more than those who only sacrifice their wealth and they give any charity
without offering the personal sacrifice. Imagine that the Prophet sallallahu sallam said in Nephele
Jannetty metodologia. I agenda is not one single floor.
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:59
			One level No, he said there are 100 levels in paradise. The gap between E
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:09
			Each two levels is similar to the gap between our earth and the actual heaven not the only heaven.
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:43
			colada Raj Katerini Medina, Houma Cana Venus the night you will art. The distance between each two
levels in Paradise is similar to the distance between the earth and the heaven. And the Prophet
sallallahu cinema said I had the hula hula Mujahideen, if you say we use levels in paradise, these
higher ranks in paradise, were prepared by Allah for those who struggle for his sake, to defend
religion to protect Muslims to protect the weak and oppressed, and also to block the aggression of
the aggressors.
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:48
			And then once again to the Messenger of Allah peace be upon him and say, Dr. Rasool Allah,
		
00:15:50 --> 00:16:39
			which one of the people is best? He said, a believer who is fighting for the sake of Allah by
himself, and his own money. Then they asked him, then whom he said, a believer who is living in a
shop in a valley, he's distancing himself living far away from all people. He isolates himself from
the rest of the public. Yet tequila, whether or nurse I'm in Shari, and he's avoiding the harm of
people. And he's protecting people against his heart. This is a sound Hadith. When is the letter
step prescribed? When does it become recommended for a person to isolate himself or to live in
isolation? It is recommended when there is a conflict between Muslims and each other. And
		
00:16:39 --> 00:17:23
			unfortunately, two parties or three or more, and they start killing each other. And each one claim
that they have the right they are actually Muslims. And they are observing all the religious
deities. So it's hard to say that this party or not believers, or this party are rebellious. No,
they're all Muslims. And they are killing each other. Does this happen is it happened, and it
happened before, and it is happening now. So this is a case and it is hard to decide who is right
and who is wrong, then avoid all of that. Even if you end up living in a valley. You are one day and
MD A doctor. But now what do you do? I'm just looking after a few sheep and goat, you know, and
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:33
			drinking the milk eating their meat and just offering my prayer. And I'm distancing myself from all
of that. This is the only condition where this practice becomes praiseworthy.
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:40
			Allah subhanho wa Taala said in the study of the cave Surah Al calf, the whole surah was named after
this incident
		
00:17:41 --> 00:18:01
			where he their desire to move in one way Abu Luna Illa Allah, whoo, you know, if a bunch of us They
refused what the people were doing of worshipping the king, a human being. So when they try to
preach their people, they threaten them and they can arrest them, and you give them a chance to
think about it.
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:36
			And if they were to believe in him as he's the Lord, and he's a creator, you're most welcome to live
freely in my land, but otherwise you will be executed. So they ran off the token shelter in a cave,
and this is where the story of the cave came from Allah Almighty, praise them. Lord gave us horrible
death. Why? Because they decided to live in isolation, in order to avoid falling into the fitna of
disbelief or being persecuted on account of their belief. On the other hand,
		
00:18:38 --> 00:19:19
			in a hadith, which is Narrated by Abu Zeid, for the era of the Allahu Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam was asked who said he described the best is those who are observing jihad for the sake of
Allah with its rules and regulations as mentioned earlier, and the second best is a person who lives
in isolation during the time of fitna as mentioned earlier, and then came to the Messenger of Allah
peace be upon him and said, Oh Prophet of ALLAH, do Lennie Allah Hamelin either Amil to ya deal with
jihad? Could you please guide me to an act which if I do it, it will give me the same reward, like
observing jihad on the battlefield.
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:59
			So, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam said, Well, can you afford that once a Mujahid once an Army
soldier once an officer sits out with the army? Once he leaves that you start fasting? You enter the
masjid and you start fasting on the day, and you keep praying until the Mujahid returns home? Jani
will you be able to keep fasting every single day and to pray constantly non stop until he returns
until the Mujahideen returns home. If you can do that
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:16
			perhaps that will be similar to the position and the the rank of a person who's observing jihad for
the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala so it's something not to be compared to any other act and those
		
00:20:18 --> 00:21:05
			who do guard the borders of the Muslim nation, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
observing robot for a single night is better than the whole dunya and what it contains, and he said,
allow her to Aroha lab do well what what we do have you ever been in a higher minute dunya why
mafia, again, sitting out to God, the borders of the Muslim community, in the morning or in the
evening, even for a few hours better than the whole dunya and erode contains. So what if a person is
doing this on a regular basis for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala Of course he holds the highest
status and what if he ends up paying his life as a price for that piece every lap provided it is for
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:11
			the sake of Allah. Now we have many a year delivering such glad tidings for such person.
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:31
			Allah subhanho wa Taala says in the eye when at a seven Alladhina Katya Rufus I really love him and
water bill here on Andara BM Musa own Don't you ever think that those who die for the sake of Allah
dead No, they are not dead, they are living with the Lord and being provided they are in heaven.
		
00:21:32 --> 00:22:20
			And also he forbade us again is saying that those who die for the sake of Allah did he said in Surah
Baqarah 154 While at the holy my new Portello he's a really lovely and wet bell here on we're lucky
letter, Sharon, don't you call them dead, rather, they are living with the Lord, those who die for
the sake of Allah. They are living in paradise with the Lord. You're the cone being provided, how
they're being provided, their souls are in heaven, even though their bodies are on earth. Those who
die for the sake of Allah, they get qualities that nobody nobody else can achieve. Number one, once
they are hurt or injured, right before this, all their sins will be wiped out, all the sins will be
		
00:22:20 --> 00:23:05
			forgiven. It is worth mentioning here of course with the exception of the debt until it is settled.
And then they would have an access to intercede for 70 of their family members so that they will
take them from health into paradise. And on the Day of Judgment when everybody will be frightened.
They will not be frightened, they will be safe and secure. And they will trunk while Allah Almighty
will give them the security on the day of judgment, and they will go straight to heaven. Brothers
and sisters, a person may only decide to live in isolation in the time of fitna in order to protect
his honor and his religious commitment and to avoid bloodshed. And also according to Shankle Islam
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:53
			timea may Allah have mercy on him, it is recommended for every person every now and then to spend
some time by himself to recite his of gar to memorize Quran and to learn. If you keep socializing
with people all the time, then you don't have time to refuel, to recharge the battery of Eman which
is your heart through reciting Quran through night prayer through seeking knowledge through learning
through meditation and pondering in the remembrance of Allah subhanho wa Taala so you need to spend
some time by yourself. Sometimes regular basis like you know some time every day and sometimes, you
know, you just take off, such as in the case of ATF May Allah subhanaw taala grant us the honor of
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:58
			comprehending his deen and until next episode as Salaam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
