Muiz Bukhary – Deadly Daggers

			I begin by praising
		

			Allah the Almighty, Allah Buddha Allah mean the Lord of all worlds the exalted the majestic, and I
asked him to send his choices to blessings and salutations upon our beloved prophet muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam, his family members, his companions, and every single
individual who treads on his path, the prophets path with a class with sincerity until the end of
time.
		

			At the very outset, I start off by reminding myself by enjoying upon myself and then all of you all
gathered here for salatu. Juma
		

			to adopt a life of Taqwa. And that is to instill the consciousness of your maker the consciousness
of Allah subhanho wa taala. That is to be conscious of him.
		

			And you must do this during every single second of your lives if you wish to attain victory, if you
wish to attain success in this world as well as the next May Allah subhanahu wa taala make us all
from the people of Taqwa and make him make us from the victorious and successful ones, Amin.
		

			I'd like to start off by sharing a beautiful Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa
sallam hadith is recorded in the Book of Imam Muslim Rahim Allah and Abby Herrera Radi Allahu Anhu
Annie Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam a call here the whole Jana Aqua Minh of either to
whom Miss Liu have edited toI
		

			Abu Huraira or the Allahu Anhu he reports that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is reputed to
have said
		

			here the fool Janetta ACWA.
		

			People will enter Jannah
		

			and then he goes on to say, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, of either to whom Matthew of
either did toil.
		

			Their hearts will be like the hearts of birds.
		

			So people whose hearts are like the hearts of birds will enter Jannah will enter paradise. So how do
we understand these beautiful words of the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam.
		

			Now scholars have gone on to interpret you have Imam and NaVi Rahim Allah I'm sure the name brings a
better yes we have real solid Hain sir compilation but Imam nawawi Rahim Allah
		

			so He states one of the interpretations put forth is that their hearts this people who will go to
Jannah their hearts will be light. Their hearts will be pure. Their hearts will be clean like that
of the birds. You see the birds, they fly out in the morning and they fly back home in the evening.
They hold no resentment towards anyone know anything. They hold no hatred. They hold no grudges,
they hold no jealousy. They hold no envy in their little hearts. Their hearts are pure. Their hearts
are clean.
		

			Such a people will enter Jannah
		

			so my dear brothers in Islam
		

			we need to at this juncture reflect on these words of the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam and we
need to access our hearts. Today a lot of us we are concerned about our hearts. We are
		

			some of us have cardiologists and heart specialists that we go to. And others we have trackers we
have devices monitoring the health of our hearts. A lot of us we focus on cardio, why because we
want to improve the we want to condition our heart we want to improve the health and maintain good
health. The concern about our physical hearts but what about our spiritual hearts? Are we accessing
our spiritual hearts? How light are they? How pure are they? And how clean are they? And my dear
brothers in Islam don't gloss over this. Don't think oh, this is not an important topic. Trust me in
sha Allah Tala by the end of the sermon. You will see
		

			it evening I pray rubbish roughly solder us certainly Emery waffler Okada 10 melissani Fo holy that
Allah puts the right words on my tongue, but you will see towards the end of the sermon, how
important a topic it is. Now why I say this is because a lot of us we tend to focus on the rituals
and not undermining the rituals. We have to do the rituals Most definitely. But we think oh, Salah,
Zeca hij ombre, so the six fast
		

			to show all the fasting on Monday, fasting on Thursday, fasting the days of the hijab, making it for
Salah al Fajr, first row, so that will Juma and
		

			these are the important things or the heart. Now I'm not so interested,
		

			I'm not so interested
		

			the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he did not only focus on the outwardly many brothers in
Islam, nor did he only focus on the inwardly. You see, unfortunately, there's a spectrum today, two
extremes, some of us who are only on the outwardly side of things, and others who are only focused
on the inwardly things. Those who focus only on the inwardly things go on to say, Who are you to
judge me?
		

			Who are you to judge me? Allah is the best of judges, I may not be praying, but my heart is clean. I
may not fast but my heart is clean. And only Allah knows what is in my heart. Right. So this is one
end of the spectrum. The other end of the spectrum we have those of us who are only focused on the
outwardly aspects, and completely eliminate the heart from the equation. Let me share another Hadith
of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, to put things in perspective and the Prophet peace be
upon him is reported to have said the narration goes along the lines of these words.
		

			Allah were in the field just at the motiva.
		

			These are not my words, my dear brothers in Islam. I am merely an instrument, a conduit, I'm just
conveying the words of the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, know that in the body, there is a
piece of flesh.
		

			The words of your Prophet sallallahu, ALA, he really was either solid,
		

			solid * Jessa dokolo. If that piece of flesh is good, if that piece of flesh is upright,
		

			if that piece of flesh is sound,
		

			solid, well Jessa do Kulu then the entire body is upright, the entire body is good, every limb in
that body is good and healthy and sound. And obviously we're talking along along spiritual lines
here. The Prophet goes on to say an hour in the sense, an hour in the future. So the Buddha either
solo had Sahaja Docomo why the first said that. On the other hand, if that piece of flesh goes bad,
if that piece of flesh is corrupt, if that piece of flesh is evil, if that piece of flesh is toxic,
faster and faster than just
		

			the entire body goes bad, every limp goes bad. And then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam says
Allah he'll
		

			know that it is the heart know that it is the heart.
		

			Allah says in the Noble Quran Yahoomail is our own Milu Oh,
		

			Yo, man, I am fat Romain. Oh, Ben Hogan. On that day, ALLAH is talking about the day of the AMA yo
Mala Yun Pharaoh Mal, your wealth will not benefit you your net worth will not benefit you your
crypto portfolio will not benefit you. Your properties, your villas, your apartments, your vehicles,
your watches, your assets, your money, your bank balance, your status, your job, your address will
not benefit you. When I bet Own Your children will not benefit you. Yes, Ma sha Allah, they're all
degree holders. They all educated you've done your bit, but they're not going to benefit you on that
day. What will benefit you on that day, my dear brother, Ill at Allah has been Saleem
		

			the one who comes with a clean heart called Salim a spiritually healthy heart.
		

			The one who comes with that heart to Allah on that day. That is what will benefit the individual on
that day may Allah Subhana Allah Allah bless us all with clean hearts. I mean
		

			so many brothers in Islam, you have to understand that Shavon is tricky. He uses different traps to
push us into maladies into sicknesses into into traps that riddle our heart with the diseases that
riddle our heart with sicknesses.
		

			Let me share another Hadith of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam
		

			the rasa lila Salam is reputed to have said Al Muslim men selama Natsu melissani warrior the the
Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hand people are safe in the sense he does not harm anyone
using his tongue. He does not harm anyone using his hands. This is the believer This is
		

			The Muslim. In another Hadith the Prophet sallallahu Sallam is reported to have said, mean Hosni
Islam Ilmari Turku Humala Yanni from amongst the perfection and the completion of one's Islam is to
leave that which does not concern him.
		

			It is to leave that which does not concern you. But how many of us find this so difficult to do, to
mind our own businesses, to stop poking our noses into the affairs of others?
		

			You find it extremely difficult to do.
		

			Many brothers in Islam
		

			why I started off by saying that we have a spectrum and we have those of us who are on one end and
others who on the other end is because a lot of us we strive hard to do good deeds. We strive hard,
very hard. And think about it reflect for a moment. You're here, smack in the middle of the day for
salatu. Juma for what ask yourself why are you here? You're here to obviously please Allah subhanho
wa Taala you are here to avoid sin. Because if you don't pray Serato Juma even you're able to then
you're sinning, right?
		

			You're doing all of this to please Allah and to enter Jana. Why are you coming for Salah prefecture
to please Allah and to eventually intergeneric Why are you going on umbra? Why are you going on
hydro spending your money and going all the way there to please Allah to go to Jana? Why are you
giving Zika from your hard earned money?
		

			Why? Because you want to please Allah, you want to earn his pleasure, you want to enter Jannah.
		

			But do you know my dear brothers in Islam along with doing all of that you must ensure you must
ensure that you protect your tongue that you protect your heart? Because otherwise it's going to
become like a leaking bucket. You know what the analogy of a leaking bucket is? Let's say you have a
bucket, a big bucket
		

			and you're walking kilometres you're walking miles to get water. Your walk now a very long distance,
let's say five or 10 kilometres with a bucket, and you're filled the bucket to take water back home.
Now you have to walk back another five to 10 kilometres. Would it make sense to take a bucket with
holes? Would any one of us take a bucket with holes? Would it make sense it won't make sense, right?
Because by the time you walk back, you would have lost all the water that you went for. So
similarly, my dear brothers in Islam, along with doing all these good deeds, if you do not protect
your tongue, if you do not protect your heart, on the day of Yama, it's going to be a very
		

			unfortunate scene that will unravel.
		

			There are a hadith to the effect, where individuals will stand in front of Allah azza wa jal expect
him to see their good deeds. They have spent so much for the sake of Allah. They've done so much for
the sake of Allah and they're expecting to be handsomely rewarded by Allah azza wa jal.
		

			And yes, they will see the mountains of good deeds, eventually transforming into mountains of sins.
Why? Because they indulged in the veba, the back bit about others, backbiting NEMA, caring tales
about others, their hearts, they thought bad about others.
		

			So you have to understand the gravity of backbiting. When you backbite about someone libre, you know
and you know what is backbiting? Some of us we don't know what is backbiting? We don't know what is
backbiting? The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is reported to have said hadith is in the book
of Imam Muslim. The Prophet asks the Companions this very same question. All my companions, Brunello
Ziva, do you know what the Rebbe is? Do you know what Backbiting is? And they all responded Allahu
wa rasuluh who Allah, Allah and His Messenger know best. Then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam defined riba define the backbiting and Listen to me attentively the Prophet said, Vic Ruka a
		

			haka. Bhima yatra. To to say something about your brother, or about your sister, in his or her
absence, something that he or she would dislike to hear about themselves. This is libre, this is
backbiting.
		

			So ask yourself, my dear brother, my dear sister, how many of us indulge in this on a daily basis?
		

			sis unfortunately.
		

			And interestingly the Sahaba then go on to say, theta alpha writer in Canary aseema upon ya rasool
Allah, what if that that negative thing that I'm saying about my brother is is there in him? The
Prophet sallahu alayhi wa sallam then says, if that is actually found in him, okay, let's say you're
talking about your brother in his absence, something negatively about him. Look at the words of the
Prophet Hadith in the book of Numbers, and the Prophet says, if that negative thing that you
mentioned, was actually there, then that is a Riba. On the other hand, if it is not there, most of
the time we backbite about others. You know, very, very carelessly, you know, I heard this about so
		

			and so. I heard this about so and so. Or, you know, what his dealings are like this? Oh, you know,
he's running around in this because of this.
		

			Or, you know, he's involved in this. He's involved in that. You know, we don't even hesitate, we
don't bat an eyelid.
		

			We talk about other people's families, other people's businesses, other people's marriages, other
people's children, almost as if we are lily white.
		

			Don't we? Aren't we ashamed of ourselves? Are we saints? Are we angels to do this?
		

			And look at the words of the Prophet. He says if you said something negative about your brother in
his absence, and if that was actually true, then that is Riba. On the other hand, if it is alive,
then that is even worse than the V but it is Bhutan. It is oppression. The Riba in and of itself is
is oppression, this is a greater form of oppression, you have lined
		

			up my dear brothers in Islam, you have to take it very seriously.
		

			You see, if you fall short with regards to one of your rights that you have to fulfill with regards
to Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah is the most forgiving I've spoke about this so many times, you
know, during this last month of Ramadan in Allah has a four in the MaHA Rahim Allah is Most
forgiving, Most Merciful, He will forgive you. But you see when you backbite about someone, the
forgiveness of Allah, remember this mark my words is hinged.
		

			On to the fact that you have usurped the rights of your brother. You have attacked his honor. Now
what did He forgives you? You're not going to be forgiven?
		

			Do we really need this?
		

			Do we really need this? Let's say if you spoke negatively about someone in his absence now you have
to go to him and tell him brother I did this forgive me.
		

			How many of us we are on our high horses right.
		

			How many of us can swallow our egos and now go and do it Shatta Wale Let us meet your brother's
Shadow Moon let us know what is the point now my question to you what is the point of you doing good
deeds at this juncture, when you are not going to be forgiven by ALLAH SubhanA wa what is the point?
		

			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was once walking by two grapes.
		

			It's a very scary Hadith, the prophet
		

			the color of his face, Abu Huraira or the Allahu minarets, we were walking with the Prophet Salah al
Islam when he passed by two Crips and suddenly we saw the color of the face of the Prophet changing
until it was white like the sleeve of his shirt. So then they all ask, what is the what is the
matter what is wrong? The Prophet sallallahu sallam, he said, you follow if you cannot hear what I
can hear. And then they ask what is it yeah rasool Allah, the Prophet sallallaahu Salam Then said
the two individuals who are in this grave are being severely punished. And then the Prophet said,
one of them used to harm people with his tongue used to carry gossip about others. So he's being
		

			severely punished by Allah azza wa jal.
		

			Do you see this tongue, no bones, it moves around very easily. It can make a person it can break a
person. You have to mark your words, my dear brothers in Islam just because it is easy to speak. You
don't utter whatever comes to your mind and rolls off your tongue. You have to be extremely
extremely careful. Because from your deeds being destroyed, to you being punished in the grave to
you standing in front of Allah and losing all your deeds to not entering Jana. Chef, where did you
get that from? Again, the words of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Hadith has recorded the
book of Imam Al Bukhari and Imam Muslim Rahim Allah and authentic hadith. And Jose Ferrara, the
		

			Allahu Anhu call call and Nabi usando Allahu alayhi wa sallam la yo
		

			Pool Janata nama
		

			the tail bearer will not enter paradise.
		

			The one who gossips will not enter Paradise, clear cut words of the Prophet sallallahu it really was
said Do you really want to risk your Jana?
		

			For this? Is it is it that addictive? Is it that enjoyable? Ask yourself Is it really worth it?
		

			How many times we are at a function because if about others, we're hanging out with our friends
because if about others and we really don't care, because if about the righteous people because if
about scholars because if about our relatives, we gossip about family,
		

			we have never met the individual Allahu Akbar. We have never met the individual and because if about
that individual
		

			I'd like to share another Hadith.
		

			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, his report said,
		

			when I was taken on my night journey, during his run, Miraj, I passed by a people who had metal
hooks in their hands. They had, you know, I'm holding this I can't demonstrate they had metal hooks
on their hands, you know, iron hooks, and they were using those hooks to claw at their faces and
their necks. You know, they were inflicting the punishment upon themselves. They had metal hooks,
you know, these iron hooks, and they were clawing at their faces and their necks. The Prophet was
shocked and he asks Gibreel Krishna to Salam Gibreel Who are these individuals who are these people?
And Gibreel and Islam was salam went on to say these are the ones
		

			these are the ones who eat the flesh of people and attack their honor. You know, this example of
eating the flesh of others, it is backbiting.
		

			It is backbiting
		

			it Akula documen luck Murthy he might Allah says in the Quran. Backbiting is like eating the flesh
of your dead brother, brotherhood, any one of you do it with any one of you do it. If your friend
has passed away, would you go to his funeral and start eating his flesh? Would you cut flesh off of
him and eat him or be cannibals? Backbiting is just that exactly that.
		

			So my dear brothers in Islam,
		

			you have to you have to be extremely careful about this.
		

			Otherwise, you're going to end up spoiling your good deeds. And before I conclude, I want to touch
on one more thing.
		

			So we just spoke about avoiding backbiting, okay? What if you are in a gathering?
		

			Listen to me attentively. You are in a gathering
		

			and someone is backbiting but someone else.
		

			Let's say for the sake of clarity, Mr. A, Mr. B and Mr. C are friends. Okay.
		

			Mr. A and Mr. B are in a gathering where someone or some people are backbiting about Mr. C.
		

			Now, what is the responsibility of Mr. A and Mr. B?
		

			Again, there are two extremes. One is there are those of us who would indulge in the backbiting you
know, they say throwing or putting they add fuel to the fire. They like to you know, make the all
juicy, you know, the juicy gossip that like fortunately men also, you know, tend to it used to be
something that used to be I'm not trying to be I'm not you know, stereotyping, but now all genders
basically they they indulgent
		

			So, one extreme is there, you indulge in the gossip, and you enable the gossip. The other extreme is
to you know, you take minding your own business to the next level. And you know, you you don't you
don't add fuel, nor do you defend your friend. So Islamically What are you supposed to do? What is
your responsibility? That's the right question. The responsibility My dear brother, my dear sister
is to defend your brother.
		

			And by the way, it is an obligation. It is an obligation
		

			to defend your brother
		

			Abu Huraira are the Allahu Anhu he reports that once the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he sent
her Omar Radi Allahu Anhu to collect Zakah
		

			the hadith is the book of Imam Muslim Rahim Allah
		

			Rama Radi Allahu Anhu was sent to collect the car. So, he goes now to collect the car. And then he
comes back to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam and he says he informs the Prophet
generation goes along the lines of these words, three individuals have refused to pay.
		

			There's a guy
		

			and he mentioned their names Ebola Jamil Khalid Ibn Al Walid Roddy, Allah one, and Al Abbas the
uncle of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa and he was three individuals have refused to pay their as
a car from are they allowed to purchase the proper solution?
		

			Immediately the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he says with regards to even a Jamil
		

			he does not want to pay his car. He was poor and Allah made him rich. So the Prophet was clearly
stating what had happened
		

			with regards to highly the banal Walid Yeah, Omar, you are being unjust to Holly drop the Allahu
Anhu for four, he has reserved you to understand how the middle when he was a warrior, so he had
reserved or he has reserved all of his armor and all of his weapons for the sake of Allah. So, there
is no as the cardio on him, he has made made work of everything that he has for the sake of Allah in
other words, in the in terms of weapons and armor, you understand? So, there is a way to calculate
the car if you have a certain amount of wealth and if certain amount of assets and things like that
there are certain categories where as the car will become applicable. But with regards to Harley
		

			Davidson Waleed, whatever he has, in terms of his armor, in terms of perhaps his horses, in terms of
his weapons, everything has been pledged for the sake of Allah. So there is no cerca de weapon
Khalid Ibn Al Walid. And as for Al Abbas, I am responsible for the Zika of an abbess. Now the point
that I want to highlight here is with regards to Khalid Ibn Al Walid, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam defended Khalid Ibn Al Waleed or the Allah one. So similarly, my dear brothers in Islam,
if you are in a gathering, where someone is attacking the honor of your brother, the believer, the
Muslim, you must defend his honor, you must put a stop, and this is part of a Lamborghini maruf on
		

			the honeymoon car as well and joining good and forbidding evil, you must stop the backbiting you
must tell your friends, you must tell the gathering. Let us be aware and stop backbiting about
others.
		

			Some of us you we even say You know, I don't want to backbite and then we go on to backbite. I don't
want to say this, you know? Or don't tell anyone, okay? Don't tell anyone. And then we tell that
person we go to another category. Don't tell anyone. Yeah, don't tell anyone. I heard this. And this
about so and so. And this is exactly carrying tails and a man. This is the definition of carrying
tails you're carrying deals all over the place.
		

			So therefore, my dear brothers in Islam as believers, as believers that are stay away from this,
that is God, our tongues, the pious people of the past would actually put rocks, tables in their
mouth.
		

			To avoid unnecessarily speaking.
		

			pious people of the past would actually ask us every single word that will come out of their mouths
did this word that came out of my mouth that rolled off my tongue? Am I going to earn the pleasure
of Allah through it? Or am I going to anger him through it? Have we done that kind of an audit? Have
we done that kind of an assessment? Every word that comes out? This word? Is it pleasing to Allah?
Is it displeasing to Allah azza wa jal
		

			because you have to bear in mind, my dear brothers in Islam, today, we have devices, you know, this
thing that is clipped on me, I think it can record. I think, if I'm not mistaken, I have about 256
GB of storage here. And the files are very small. It can record for hours on end what I'm saying.
And it has technology, to you know, the gaps to remove the gaps and do all of that stuff. So what
I'm trying to highlight here is that we man, we have come up with technology to capture video 4k 8k
You have all this technology. So you think Allah does not have the technology to capture every
single word that you utter. Every single word is on record. Every single statement of yours is
		

			clearly recorded, you will not be able to dispute it on the day of theosophy Kitabi Mubin. So
remember that when you stand in front of Allah azza wa jal, every statement of yours you will be
taken to account
		

			so I hope in the few minutes that I had with you all I instilled
		

			The importance of mining your tongue of working towards a pure heart because if you do not mind your
tongue, this will lead to your heart becoming toxic. You thinking bad about others you thinking
negatively about others you thinking toxic toxic thoughts about others, you looking down upon
others. So, if this continues, your heart is not going to become light, like the heart of a bird.
		

			Like the first Hadith that I shared with you all the people who will enter Jannah and their hearts
are going to be like the hearts of birds. So I conclude by sincerely praying that Allah subhanahu wa
taala helps each and every one of us to transform our hearts to become pure and light hearted. Where
we do not hold grudges against others. We do not hold envy against others. Yeah, Allah help us to
purify our hearts help us to eliminate toxic elements from our hearts. Help us to think good
thoughts about others Yeah, Allah help us to give the benefit of doubt to others. Yeah, Allah help
us to make excuses for others. Yeah, Allah help us to defend the rights the honor of our brothers
		

			and sisters. Yeah, Allah help us to stay away from this pit of backbiting. Help us to stay away from
this pit of minima carrying tales that Allah do not deprive us Yama. Do not deprive of deprive us of
Jannah because of backbiting. Do not destroy our good deeds but help us to stay away so that our
deeds are not destroyed through backbiting. Yeah, Allah. Allah help us to guard our tongues help us
to purify our hearts, bless us with polluted Salim with pure light and clean hearts. And just as how
you united us here for this sermon, united in the beautiful and lofty gardens of Jana. the
companionship of our beloved prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam. I mean I'm
		

			involved in hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen
