Respected viewers, we begin by praising Allah Tabarakawa
Ta'ala, our Creator, our Sustainer, our Cherisha, our
Provider.
We send countless blessings, salutations
upon our leader and master Nabi Muhammad sallallahu
alaihi wasallam,
his honorable companions, his household and those who
follow him.
Indeed, a spiritual sickness
which many are guilty of is the sin
of pride and arrogance. Allah Tabarahu Wa Thala
in the Quran al Kareem speaks about
the pride
of those
who had posed certain questions to the Nabi
of Allah. And amongst the questions that they
ask the Nabi of Allah is that why
cannot we see Allah with our naked eye?
Why cannot we see Allah with the naked
eye? What lakadistakbarrufi
anfusihim
Allah says what pride they are displayed. Really
umwal amrad it leads to 1,000 of sins.
It leads to 1,000 of this is a
very vast topic.
Allah Tabarakuwa Ta'ala in the Quran Kareem. Allah
Ta'ala speaks about pride and arrogance
and the repercussions and the consequences
of this evil trait, this evil quality. What
did the Nabi of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
say? That a proud man will never visit
the sick. He will find it below his
dignity to visit the sick. A proud man
would never greet. He will find it below
his dignity to greet someone else. And a
proud man, you know, he maintains haughtiness. This
is what Allah dislikes the most. The Nabi
of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Salam said that
in the nations gone by there was one
person, there was a young man very arrogant
in his walk. His hair was well combed,
his hair was well combed wearing the best
of garments
and Allah looked at him, Allah became so
upset with him. Allah ordered the earth to
split and he continued sinking and he will
continue sinking right up to the end of
time.
Evil indeed is that servant
who develops arrogance and might and he forgets
that the almighty
is Allah.
He forgets that the almighty is Allah. Once
Sahabi came to the Nabi of Allah, and
he said, I'm such a individual.
I want my clothes to be neat. I
want my shoes to be neat. To such
an extent, I even want my shoelace to
be neat. Tell me is that pride? Nabi
ali salam said that, no, no. That is
not pride. Let me explain to you what
is pride.
Pride in essence
means to consider yourself superior
and the next man inferior. The automatic result
of which is you create a perception about
yourself. You create your opinion about yourself that
I am better than you. What did our
mother Aisha radhiallahu ta'ala Anha say? What words
of wisdom Allah inspired on her tongue? Somebody
asked her,
When can I consider myself to be good?
She said as long as you consider yourself
to be evil, remember you are the best
walking on mother earth. As long as you
consider yourself to be the best, you are
the worst walking on mother earth. Imam Shafiqi
used to say,
if only the earth could testify,
the earth will speak and say from the
very inception of the creation of the universe
up to this day, there hasn't been a
more wicked human. There hasn't been more wicked
humans
walking on my back than those that are
walking on my back today. We ask
to grant us the Tawfiq and the ability
that we bring about humility.
Wallahi, pride, this destroys the fiber of our
society.
Nabi'alaihi salam said that the one
The one who displays pride
Allah will drop him beneath the earth and
Allah the one who displays humbleness
Allah will elevate him to the highest level.
SubhanAllah in the Quran.
Allah
speaks about evil traits, evil qualities
that there will
be
people
Because of certain weaknesses,
spiritual diseases
people will become like animals
nay worse than animals.
We ask Allah to rid our hearts of
pride and arrogance. May Allah make us His
humble servants. We ask Allah to bless us
till we speak to you again tomorrow.
