Okay, humbly Lionel Bilal, Amina Salatu was Salam. Ala shuffler MBA? Well mursaleen early he was Safi here to my in my bag.

and to give us beneficial knowledge and understanding and white sustenance on Him we are utterly dependent and to Him is our return.

So this is hopefully the well if we get through it. Another session to deal with Hadith number 25 which is a Hadith of reported by Abby who Ibiza

just quickly remind you of it a lot to get through

Ibiza around the Allah one will call and then Aslam enough hobby Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam ala Palu. He says that some of the companies of the Messenger of Allah Azza wa sallam they said, Linda be to the Prophet salallahu Salam ya rasool Allah or messenger of Allah, they have to fully build or do you Soluna commando suddenly, way Asuna cannot assume we at a sub takuna before doing I'm worried him they said the affluent directs people have run away with all the rewards. They pray as we pray they fast as we fast. Yet they give off their superfluous extra wealth here in South Africa.

In charity, follow the Sunnah wa salatu salam. So the messenger of Allah wa salam he said our Lisa Khadija Allah Allah who would like to Matheson Bakun as Allah not made something that for you that you can give in charity in surely because the tests we had in soda, were cool it definitely lettin soda were cool the tech be rotten soda. Luckily tell me that in soda. We're Amarin Bill Maher who sadaqa we're not Yun and we're not union workers soda casada wifey Budo a sadhaka

surely in every Subhan Allah is a charity in every saying Allahu Akbar is a charity in every Alhamdulillah is a charity in every law Illa Illa Allah is a charity and standing on that which is right and just in that is a charity and preventing standing against that which is evil and wrong in that is a charity. And in the sexual act of each one of you in that is a charity all they said,

Ya rasool Allah, O Messenger of Allah, or yet de alguna SHA what a warrior kulula who fear Are you saying that one of us comes to fulfill his desire and that he has a charity in that

and there's a charity in that farlis Allah Islam he said our aid on low water fee haram do not read you realize that if he was to place that meaning do the sexual act in a prohibited manner haram were a Cana Allah He was would there not be seen on him or her? Like if Alika is what? Phil Hallel cannula who added Gus if he was to do it in a halal way, they will be rewarded for him. Here the prophesy to use the word not cannula who suffer cannula ADGER there will be reward from not giving you the meaning of what salata means.

So we've contemplated some aspects of this hadith before.

If we look at this hadith, and you've got to get the message and the spirit of it, the spirit from the Sahaba when they're coming forward to ask the question, and I said last time, it's to do with people who are poor from the Sahaba not the rich ones here and hence the guidance must be

put in that context.

The spirit of coming forward of wanting to do more, or wanting to get more rewards, yeah, to try and make sure to please Allah before the day of judgment because they know the currency on the Day of Judgment will be good deeds. Yeah, soda is in that sense being used here.

And that's what's going to count. So they're coming with a fervor to do more. Yeah. And in other words, reality is, as I mentioned about, about it before having, they have a desire that if they had the money, like the rich Sahaba, they would also be wanting to give in charity to increase the number of rewards for themselves, to please Allah subhanho wa Taala Day of Judgment. See, that's what the intention behind it all is.

And that is why we mentioned in this at least, it's so that we are affected and we hope and pray to Allah that we have that fervent desire from our Imam, to be like that. Yeah, they are the example, examples for us the Sahaba, from the teachings of the Prophet salallahu Salam, they are emulating and exemplifying the teachings of the Quran and the teachings of the Prophet salallahu Salam. So this is to remind us to have that fervor as well, throughout our lives. In all our lives revolve around this because we are, this is what our life is about as believers.

All of this revolves around, what can I do? What can I do today for the hereafter? Yeah.

And that reminds us, that idea is constantly with us. So that's the reminder about the whole essence of this, this hadith.

And the one coming after this as well, is about that revolving around trying to do as much as possible before time runs out. Yeah, that's what the idea is. And may Allah makers have that same fervor and same desire as the sahaba. That's exemplified

about them in the Quran, In another Hadith, including this hadith. And

before I carry on where we left off, which was

the kinds of sadaqa that Imam Ibn Rajab had mentioned.

Here, this studies actually is talking about the kind of South Africa, poverty assassins recommending, which is non material.

Well, of course, it isn't them because they're saying we haven't got that kind of wealthy route. So there's a poor man's coming. So province has some giving them advice about South Africa, which is non material kind of charity and, and deeds, which are going to be like soda, and therefore give you reward. That's what the essence is here.

Nevertheless, we need to master something

about

charity, and giving

in a material sense as well, yeah. Because that's indicated in the Hadith, because the Sahaba correctly as saying, the poor ones, the rich believers have run away with all the rewards that's telling you this loads the rewards in actually being rich, because they are giving way at a sub the owner be fully unwell to him. And they are giving out charity charity to others helping others with the excess. Yeah, from the

material wealth, yeah. Material wealth. So there's the indication of the importance of that as well. The importance of that as well.

And the spirit of Islam is really brought out of Imam

and that's why we're going to come to a hadith later on. Part of it. One of the comments of the Prophet sallahu wa salam, he says in that was set up that was sadaqa, to Buddha Han, that charity is a proof. Charity is a proof of proof for a believer. The proof in what sense because giving our normal desire is to keep but giving yet is a proof of the belief in Allah that this gaming is going to be multiplied 10 to 700 times or even more, and I'm doing it because of that and I want the rewards in the hereafter by pleasing Allah smarter. That's why I chose

is the proof of that. And I've often said,

for years now, that the essence of Islam that can ask the belief, the real essence of Islam, and a believer is about giving to others. Yeah, not giving them interiorly and swearing and cheating and deceiving and nastiness to others. I don't mean that you know what I mean by mean giving to others. And that's giving in a material sense. And as we'll see, in a non material sense as well, what is non material come to, but it's the essence of Islam is what we give and share with others, is the good deeds that will multiply and come back to us. In other words, it's about what would you say selflessness, isn't it?

It's about selflessness. It's not about selfishness. Yeah, that's materialism. And that's about Shakedown. Shakedown is about himself. Greed, avarice, mee, Mee Mee, the society that surrounding the generally becoming more and more like that. But Islam, the submission to Allah, so Allah wants to bring the best of human beings. Yeah, and it is only done through the man.

And that's very important to remember, by believing in Allah and the messenger who's the best exemplified, you cannot remove that, and then hope to achieve success in the hereafter. It's not possible, impossible. And this is very important for us to understand, especially. Now we have a society because of materialism, and atheism and atheism, the following have shaitan no doubt about that. Because it's making oneself into God, which is what shebang did as well, he made himself the decider to say who we should bow down to who we should not bow down to out of pure arrogance. So when we have a society like that, nowadays, they don't want to meet some gods. So they've even come

scientifically to the conclusion through psychology and the kinds of tests and trials that actually to give to others and give charity is psychologically good for you. Yeah. Why? Because it makes you feel good, you'll be a happier person. Yeah, that's not reason we do it. This is very important to understand, if we reduce it to base value, which is just the animal, this is what they're trying to do. I don't need that kind of argument. Allah and His Messenger have already, through my belief taught me that I don't give to others, so I can feel happy, because that's my motive, then. And I, if I get that I get nothing else. My motive is much higher than that. It's metaphysical. It is

linked to the reality of Allah and His existence and who sent me here and who I'm going to return to, and the existence of Day of Judgment, Paradise and Hell. Yeah. So you see, there's a, there's a massive difference in a whole orientation towards life. You can have two people giving but the reality one's giving for a different motive another is giving for the motive and the motive is God. Allah subhana wa Taala Glory be to Him himself, who we're going to go back to who gave us everything in the first place.

This is

important to understand. So in regards to giving of

from the wealth, as well.

It's showing you the selflessness of believers.

And, and this is indicated in the Quran, Hadith as well, about that, wealth can be reduced to that which we eat that which we wear that which we wear out and use up. That's all done. What carries on is what we've given to others.

What that stays, yeah, that says, and Allah smart Allah and His generosity and mercy

also made it that even though we we are

not only encouraged, there's no obligatory part of giving wealth, which is occur. Yeah, but aside from that, there's an encouragement to give to others. Yeah. And to be charitable. Yeah. voluntarily, even though it's voluntarily there is a whole

What can I say? The

the, the ethos of this Dean is that we're on we only need to be encouraged and pushed a little and it should bring and make us desirous of giving to others. Yeah. And despite the situation will give you and therefore we have many a hadith about giving is not the same

As taking so the upper hand is not the same as the lower hand. This is a metaphoric metaphor. Because the upper hand is the giving hand, the lower hand is the taking hand, taking is not the same as giving, in fact taking is negative, begging and taking from others, especially if, unless you're in the three categories prophesize I mentioned that if I mentioned to you many times before, and basically those who are in serious debt or lost everything, etc, only they're being given an excuse to go out and bank so that the situation gets better than to stop. Otherwise begging is haram. But that's not for the giver. The Giver is not to treat that person a beggar even if they don't need it.

Like like kicking them around and telling them it's haram but there to give Yeah, leave that between them and Allah subhanaw taala so in that regard, a few a hadith the Prophet saw some mentioned, for example, in

say, Muslim, the prophesy, so I'm saying so now my

no one will says the extent of Allah Islam was said when he was on the member, meaning give me the hotbar in the masjid, well, why, of course sadaqa and he was mentioning, giving charity, what the fourth annual masala and abstaining from begging. And he said earlier, earlier, earlier how you don't mean earlier the sofa the upper hand is better than the lower hand, the begging hand. In other words, while you will all yell mon Fetta. The upper hand is the spending hand was soft plus cellular and the bottom hand is a blinking hand. So this is Hadith in these various versions of an Bukhari Muslim and other places as well. Another one says in Sahih Muslim the prophesy Salam said after

Lusaka

oh hi Yo saba the best of charity giving in charity. Yeah, are the most virtuous is unlike rain wind and is that which leaves a person well off still.

This is beautiful, this encouragement to give the car and to give voluntarily, yet but the best is you don't leave yourself in a difficult situation. Or you leave your family in a difficult situation that they go around begging after that because you've given everything away. So the best is not to give everything away and then you will you'll sit there like beggars. The best is to give Yeah, to give and and the prophesy some saying is that that which leaves you still

with enough and well off? In other words, while you're all Yeah, and he said the same thing again, the upper hand is better than the lower hand. And then he says something very interesting what the OB Manta will and begin with the one that you are those that you are responsible for those that you're responsible for. So even charity, you know the say Charity begins at home? Well, that's the idea from many, many a Hadith of the Prophet SAW slum of charity beginning with hope. You're not to jump over your family, your wife and your dependents, whoever they may be, and give to others while they're needy. Yeah, it starts with those who are you risk you are responsible for first and when

you have something left over to give to others as well. Of course, this is a relative thing and not then there's the idea of going getting carried away and being spendthrift on you when you're family only and never having anything even though you have wealth to give to others because you're trying to justify that you never have anything spare but there's something called going to access that's not being that that's not a meaning here yeah

and then in another Hadith the Prophet sallallahu sallam said

yup, Adam indica and tabula hago La Cava and tomb seeker who shall run law

or or child of Adam, surely it is better for you to spend of your surplus wealth. Yeah.

But if you and if you withhold it, it is bad for you. It is evil for you. So you got surplus wealth just sitting around where it could be helping others? Well, Tulum, Allah kefir Finn, and there's no blame. There's no blame

or reproach to withhold that which is needed for living if you're saving some money for a rainy day or something like that. That's what it means there's no blame. Yeah. Otherwise generally the idea is surplus to to give to others. What that

prophesize some still says web.be mapped out and begin when you're giving to others with the one that you are responsible for. And then again well well yet we'll only aside Amelia do suffer. We're not here the software and the upper hand is better than the lower hand

and the idea of not begging and not depending on people, but working hard to try and earn

is being encouraged. Here in Hadith of the Prophet saw some exciting Muslim from Abu Huraira Apophis Iceland said

yeah the door I had for yesterday but Allah Allah be here for your sub taka be he while you're stuck ni b He mean a nurse Haole who mean a yes Elara Jhulan outdoor who Oh mana who VALIC but in Alia don't all year after lumenal Yet this sofa what they'll be man that same kind of thing but more details from a different angle now prophesy Salam said it is better

for one of you

that

that he goes out and he carries on his back firewood Yeah.

Yeah.

And, and gives charity out to it. In other words, he works carrying firewood makes money out of it and then he then he gives charity out of that and that he is independent of people. In other words, not begging mean a nurse that is better for that for the person instead of begging another person who either gives them something or he denies him just walks by like you know when you walk past a beggar I didn't give it or you don't give it. Exactly can. Amanda was Erica so in the lab surely the upper hand is better than the lower hand and begin with when you're giving charity begin with the ones that you are who are your dependents again that idea being brought out

there's various not if I mentioned I don't mention all of them. But prophesy some mostly in a semi the upper hand lower hand lots of abuse on that. And here another one in prophesized some saying Hadith in Muslim saying as below dinar human fipple hood Rajul dinar on Yun Sidhu Allah yearly the best of money dinar of course

is the currency of the time a gold dinar the best is the one that is spent by a person

that he spends on his dependents. Yeah, on his family. Best dinner Subhan Allah. Allah so merciful, you know, sometimes we get the idea that no, but you will you ever could because they're your obligation and priorities to begin there. If you don't look after your obligation as a husband and as a father, then the outside people are not responsible. They're secondarily responsible, you are the first to be responsible. Yeah. So here it's important to mention something even though the prophesies some mentioning in various Sahadi sada. South Africa is not necessarily mean voluntary charity because South Africa in the Quran, sunnah can actually mean obligatory, Zakah as well, the

same word. And also, there have has the meaning in it included of that, which is an obligation on You still seem to mention the word sadaqa. And that which you give voluntarily and extra to others voluntarily, that's also under the word sadaqa. Yeah.

So don't get confused with the idea of sadaqa. As I said at the beginning, that this hadith we're dealing with now actually means a rewardable deed where you are giving you are rewarded for it. That's where it that's what it implies here is counted like a charity, even though you may be doing an obligatory, which is a salad bar for you. Yes. Because looking after my providing for my family is actually an obligation on a husband and a father, is it not? Yeah, but so what are the words used here and begin with the ones you are responsible for? Because you're, you're it's obligatory for you. In other words, you're going to get rewarded for it even though it's an obligation on you.

Yeah.

What dinner on your phone, you'll fake Oh, Roger Liu Allah, but if he Sybilla and after that, the dinar or money, that wealth that he or she spends on his animal in the way of Allah. Yeah, this is writing enabled us

for good and you can apply to

nowadays to petrol for cars for doing charity work helping somebody all that kind of thing.

Or a dinner what DiNardo Yun ficou hobby Heafy sebe Lilla or a dinner that he

spends on his companions? Yeah, in the way of Allah. So you're out in a good cause Yeah. In the way of Allah means

anything that is positive and good and helping others so money spent in that way on even companions who are doing that

and

this is I wanted to mention this, this it's

two more I want to mention one is

no this to three beautiful one that I'd like to mention here.

This one in Sahih al Bukhari? Yeah. The messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi salam said, in Mecca, length on fake on Africa. 1030 we have words Allah, Allah or Gita Elijah, Surely

there is nothing that you will spend. Yeah, nothing that you will spend when you're spending it seeking by the face of Allah,

except that you will rue will be rewarded in law or to tally that you will be rewarded upon it had even Natacha Allah thi Sami imra attic. Yeah, even the morsel of food that you put in your wives my wife smells

beautiful Hadith this. Some of you may have heard before most of the food Yes, the husbands there for a reason. But look how beautiful this is messing about putting the food actually in the wife's mouth in a loving way. And that's that you're rewarded for that. Yeah. One aspect of course is that you are responsible for the expenditure of the of your wife, the food costs etc. But beyond that you are doing something which is loving and kind and Eisley putting it in her mouth. Let me say you feed a day and night like that, but noise is using

giving a beautiful picture of kindness and love. And actually,

what about if the wife puts a morsel of food in the husband's mouth?

Is that rewarded? Of course it is. But she's not responsible for the cost of the food there's a difference.

When as has an obligation, the other is extra doing and how Allah Samantha rewards

that kind of behavior and act and

this is Hadith in Sahih Muslim, Muslim Allah firstly imam in Muslim in young resource and Illa Khanna ma Aki lemon hula who Sebata tone wama Saudi come in hula hula sadaqa wama Akela Cebu men who follow Allah Who sada one

that will actually tie you up allotted Tyro for hula hula sadaqa wala yarns wala years on Isla cannula husana Calm Yeah, there isn't there isn't never desert the Muslim plant a plant or a tree

except that he or she has the reward of charity

from it how for what is eaten out of it from it is a charity so anybody taking anything benefiting from the fruit or the vegetable on a plant but somebody's Yeah, in that is the prophesizing I'm saying is a subwoofer? Yeah. And what is stolen from it? It is a sublet for the one who planted the panel. Somebody goes by a steal the way to steal the fruit. But for the person who planted it is there is it is rewardable and even the beasts what the animals eat from it from that what's been planted? Yeah. becomes a charity for the one who planted it. And the birds that eat from it. It's a charity sadaqa for the one year see an older rewards piling up. Yeah and up

prophesised Salam said

Nan incurs a loss yeah

yeah either any damage or any loss like somebody's stealing steal all the time is giving a benefit to actually the person who planted the plant the vegetables the fruit of the tree etc. So I mentioned those things because I thought they were a beautiful reminder

of how

and an encouragement of giving to others and yet being rewarded for

and the importance of beginning with those that

are the dependents

now so that was really covering again, material those who had the material means most of these are these are to do with material means and perhaps the only one was the one planting wise etc, which, which is still some sort of material if you don't even have a plant plant to plant. As the Posada came this is we're talking about a different context. So, when we say the context of this hadith that there is a sadaqa

which is

of two kinds as even Rajat mentioned

which is non wealth related.

Yeah.

Which is non wealth related. It is not material

one kind

is to do with

you are giving benefit to others. It is a sadhaka which is a son going beyond you to others. Yeah.

And the second category is a saga which is benefiting you.

Yeah, which you are benefiting from yourself?

Yeah.

Most of this Hadees Yeah. Most of it not everything. Because Under Armour Bill Maher, Rufina, Hindle Moncure you don't do it yourself, you do to others. But the rest of it the victor etc. is all to you're doing yourself and you're benefiting yourself.

Other people don't benefit from my doing Allahu Akbar, Allah Allah is Allah I'm benefiting benefit to our last one. It doesn't matter for me and other human beings don't I'm the one benefiting. So two categories, and we'll deal with the first one that is of

giving to others, but this time we're not materially Yep. Not materially. And that can become come clearly under what Amarin Bill Maher roof as in the Saudis prophesized drumset. And standing for that, which is right, and just that means also calling for that which is right and just yet, and standing against that, which is evil and wrong. And that includes giving advice, and guiding people the way short bringing people to Islam, those who are Muslims in a beautiful manner, showing them by example and otherwise given reminder so that they realize all of that. Yeah. And be and doing good to people is part of standing for that which is right JUSTIN Good. Yeah, son. Yeah. And not harming

them because that would be

going against a doubt we'll be doing Moncure to others. So all that is behavior towards other people

in that is a sadhaka. And actually, this is not material so that would be

that's why we mentioned a hadith last time which said good Luma roofing Salah pass in one version Buhari Muslim it said all good things, doing good and just things unkind things is a charity. Yeah. And another version internally, we mentioned the pelvis has some cool new models in South Africa. All good things. sadaqa charity, what a nominal model and Telstar phulka be watching. And from from those good things is that is to meet your brother or sister. It means means a human brother or sister

with a smiling face with a smiling face. Naturally, that's in general sense. If you see people who are doing haram in front of you or something, which is monter you're not gonna be smiling at them are you know, Somebody's knocking down a pint of blood and you're sitting with them smiling. I mean, it's inappropriate, I think either, is of course.

Somebody gives you bad news.

Is that you know somebody died in the family and you're smiling at them I think perhaps you need to see a psychiatrist know we're talking about in a general sense yeah a smile making somebody feel good because rather than giving them a dirty look for no reason

and what am two free gum in Delhi week? Mindell? Week?

Yeah, this hadith were also mentioned that the the water that you're sharing the water with another person? Yeah.

Aside from that, as we'll see from that hadith, that hadith are going to come that is number 26. They'll have other aspects as well.

Aside from smiling, I mean, it could be

and

Yeah.

Even Roger quite rightly says that perhaps the subwoofer that you give, which is not material, perhaps that's more virtuous than actually just giving some pounds and pennies away? Yeah. Because perhaps calling somebody to Islam, is that more beneficial to the person who's in disbelief can actually give him the money? Of course it is. Of course it is. And calling somebody inviting them in a beautiful way to obey Allah is Messenger, and not the opposite. Yeah. Is that more beneficial for the person that you're calling than money? Of course it is. Yeah, of course, it is.

Giving somebody knowledge and understanding to benefit them that can that can often be better than actually giving them financial aid.

Removing something harmful from the road, which will benefit lots of people. Yeah.

Can be better than actually

giving finance Yeah.

Saying something good. In words to people. Kindness, yeah. Speaking the truth is being just all that from that room. Yeah. It is a subwoofer and that can be better than money that you give. So much so that Allah Subhan Allah says in the Quran, Paulo Maru from another favor to FYROM powerloom row for now, favorite on the fire room sadati tin mill.

sociopathy about as

a good word.

Yeah.

And forgiveness is better than charity that you give which is followed by foul words. Right? So you give charity in a material sense. And then you are nasty with the person and look down upon them and treat them as though I've done you so much favors? Yeah, like you're like a beggar you know, treat them like that. That kind of charity is not going to be accepted anyway that becomes sinful. That's what Allah saying is better. If you're going to do that, that don't give them material help and say good words instead. Yeah, benefit them that way.

Bringing up the point again, that non material benefit to others can be of more virtuous and greater reward

so many hobbies One of them's going to come as I said before, many times

in asthma the burning Bihari Muslim

about for example, removing something to meet will other story. Yeah, it is a subtle thought.

Well, we'll ask them making a deaf person here. What does it mean by making a difference? The deaf so deaf doesn't mean they can't can't hear at all deaf means that they are hard of hearing so you speak loudly to them kindly to help them understand what somebody else is saying or what you're trying to say. So they understand and they guided by that. Then what are the

what are the

what's the dual most ideal Allah GOP and to guide a blind person? Yeah, guide them across the road, guide them in a difficult situation, tell them where it says, etc. Or to show the way to somebody who's lost their way. All that is part of non material help, but all of it

is under giving sort of

removing something harmful removing a bone from the road. And that's lying around which can be harmful is Asada

or removing photons from the pathway for example a bush of thorns or sometimes anything like that banana skin from the pavement in case somebody slips on it and breaks, break something or injures themselves.

So this kind of thing is in this category now

even Roger here discusses that Allah ma scholars had

were in two groups in regards to doing the everyday charitable things and good things

one said we don't have for everything that we do have good As believers, we don't have to make an intention each time.

The other group said no, and even registered, inclines towards that group. No, you have to have the intention to do that to please Allah otherwise, you're not going to be rewarded for it. And sometimes you may even be sinning. Yeah, but the ascending one, everybody agreed on it, if you're doing it as a disbeliever Yeah, there is no there is no benefit because you don't believe in Allah. You're not doing it to please Allah you don't believe in his paradise you're not doing it to save yourself from the Hellfire you don't believe in the Day of Judgment. So your motive as I said earlier on is purely yourself is a duniya motive only yet either to feel good or worse, to show off

to people. So even for believers doing anything good to show off to the person or to show off to others that look mashallah, he's such a charitable isn't a great person. Yeah.

That is simple, because you're not doing it to please Allah while you're doing it some worldly gain and showing off is to do with linked with pride and therefore negative. Yeah.

So all I read about that. So the one group which I think is, in my opinion, the best opinion

linked with the first studies we did that every day, these are only judged by intentions, if you remember that if we said that intention was to focus on a badass especially. Yeah, so when you have something like a badass Salah and so we specially focus on Mines, we don't just willy nilly do it without thinking. Yeah, to focus on mines go to Umrah Hi, this is for Allah subhanaw taala I'm doing I'm doing his worship. So any bad, but generally, the the first group mentioned by Virgil adores because they say, a believer has already made a choice to be to choose Islam and submit to Allah subhana wa that when they've made that choice, their intention is already there now in being a

believer, so everything they do is linked always around that. Yeah, so stay away from haram. Like the example given by the prophet saw some in this very Hadith of the sexual act when it's done in a haram where they're staying away from it when they do in a halal way. This group of scholars say, well, he's just going to bed with his wife or she's going to bed with a husband. Yeah.

They don't have to particularly sit there focus make an intention, but it's counted as a law and therefore they are stuck under rewarded for it. Yeah.

The other groups say

no, it requires you to make the right intention for it to

for it to be rewardable. So this is a debate from scholars and

even Roger

further goes on to

do just that.

Man, he says from the Quran.

He says that Allah subhanho wa Taala says because he's inclined to the view that you have to have the,

the the NIA for each of these, the intensive for each of these, even if you're a believer.

And he says Allah Subhan Allah says in the Quran, the Quran

laughs A EULA.

Speaker CV min networker whom he Lamin Mr. Ravi sadhaka Tim Alma roofing out the Slough. How is laughing bein in Romania FL Valley rally capitaine Oh and

he for so fun t as you're on now we there's no good in much of the secret meetings that people have except the one the ones who get together and the one who is in those meetings,

standing for giving in charity and doing good things

or making amends between people making peace between people. And whoever does this seeking the pleasure of Allah as the Quran says Quran says then soon Allah says we will give them a great reward. Yeah.

They know the other scholars say the idea here of seeking the reward seeking the pleasure of Allah smart law is there in a believer already, what we need to avoid as believers as long as we avoid re air which is showing off and just for girl the benefit. Then we are covered by that verse already.

Yeah, because the air is linked with shaitan because I said before linked with the cardboard so Allah smart Allah says in surah and nisab was that he he says well Lavina you feel Pune and wallah humare

and see well you mean una bill he will appeal Yahoo mail if you were me I can only show you Bagnulo party now I'm first

body

those who spend from their wealth. Yeah. Seeking to show off to people.

Yeah, look what it says straight after and they do not believe in Allah or believe in the last day. Yeah, so that means this believers but it also means if a believer is doing it for that purpose it is like they don't believe in Allah and the Last Day because they're not doing it for that reason. It's because it because reality is the shutdown believed in Allah knows and accepted Allah exists. But yeah, but the pride took him away. So React is linked with pride to behave that way. Yeah, it's like you are denying Allah and the Last Day and what does Allah say? He says

after that, and whoever yeah shutdown becomes a companion to well, my necklace che plan on the whole Kadena facade to me what terrible an evil companion that is. Yeah.

I lost my time. I after that says well, Marla home

low Malou Billahi warble yo will ask me why? And Saku me ma RoZeta whom Allah

well unfollow me ma Rosato whom Allah

in the lobby

in Allaha.

B He alley, I think let's see I

uh, last night that says what is the problem? Yeah, what's stopping them if they just believed in Allah

and believed in the last day which is the reality in other words, what's problem for them believe in Allah on the last day and then spend still but spend from that which Allah has provided them? Yeah, look the letter of resignation recognition now that whatever a house spending if I'm doing a show of two people I've forgotten the fact that I love him yet in the first place. It's not mine anyway. We Morocco whom Allah

and Allah is absolutely fully aware of them, meaning what's in their hearts and what they're about those who are not doing that

now, so

two types of saliva, which is non material, we've covered one time the second type

is sort of bought to oneself.

Yeah. You're actually giving charity to yourself? Yeah.

Minnesota, wonderful who asked in an alpha Ilahi. Its benefit is limited to the one who's doing it. That is now to do with saying Subhan Allah Glory be to Allah. Remember, I said

Last time about with meaning out because it's gonna affect my heart and make me more submissive is submit to Allah make me realize who Allah is, you know how when I say Allah is the Greatest Praise be, and thanks to Allah, when it makes me full of humility. That's what it's meant to do. If it's not doing that, I've missed the point. Yeah, I missed the point.

And various ahaadeeth mentioned about doing it 33 times after salah. Yes, similar to the studies or 10 times after salah, Al Hamdulillah and Subhan, Allah and Allahu Akbar,

or doing so to do has an extra prayer. So notice, these are all extra beyond the font prayer, beyond the obligatory prayer, being encouraged to do these things to give more benefit to yourself.

Now, before I carry on with that, it's interesting

that the reality is,

and this is I'm mentioning this, that actually, the

other two categories, right, there's giving signup, a wealth to others. Right, that's one category. Then second category, giving to others, non material. Yeah, the stuff we mentioned already. And the third, yeah. Which is saliva to yourself by doing Zico, and worship, and extra, and remembering Allah subhanaw, taala, and praising him, et cetera. Those are the three. The third one we said is to benefit yourself is a certified charity for yourself, actually, all of them are a charity to yourself. Why do I say that?

Question, it's not a rhetorical question is actually a question.

Why do I say that?

Actually, it is a question asking you as

that because you said, when we are doing sadaqa, sadaqa we are doing for our benefit? Then this is the question when you said sadaqa to yourself, so after the cause, are actually benefiting to ourselves? Isn't it?

So why? Why would you say this as a separate sentence?

Yeah, it's, I asked the question, are you asking me the questions? Yeah, because this is the question.

No, look, reality is

the reason why it's been divided like that, which is a reality because you know, the divisions correct in a sense as well, because one is giving materials, yeah, and Wells from your wealth to others, you are giving to others. Also, you're giving sadaqa to others that saw the Quran and you talk about it.

The second is giving to others as well, a smile, helping etc, etc. In many ways, teaching. And the third, the reason why the third is separated, because it's not dealing with others. So it is different, it is actually you doing vicar, which is only to yourself now.

It is not helping others

in any way, as I said, clearly. So there is a difference in this third category, that the third one of doing vicar and my worship, or my vicar is rarely totally a benefit to me.

The other two are of benefit to others. But what I'm saying is they are also of benefit to me as well.

They're also benefited with this is all your benefit to me. So the other two categories, actually, some scholars said

and I'm with them and there's plenty to an even sense tells us that our greater reward than Yeah, this is the difference between the hobbit a worshiper and the Mujahid

or a scholar.

Those going out helping others Yeah, are not the same level as those who are just sitting inside doing vicar. Both are rewardable x

rewardable. But the Greater One is that which is done outside to help others and benefit others.

So

they are all in the end going to benefit the one giving the sadaqa because Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran it says

woman Jehovah in Nana uj holiness see what does that mean

you're doing a jihad against your best jihad is against your loves. No, it doesn't mean that here is saying Whoever strives and struggles meaning in the way of Allah and doing good and staying away from bad then they are striving for their own good

why am I yes good for in nama. Yes, godliness. See? Well, my yes, good for Inanna Yes. Good. Holy Nessie. What does that mean?

Those who do sugar, they do sugar for themselves. I mean, those who are thanking Allah than they are doing that thanking for their own benefits aren't we? Yes, this we've been Allah doesn't need my soccer Allah doesn't need my striving and jihad. Yeah, I lost my BA says in the Quran.

Mon ami la sala

for UFC hE y min as

for LA

whoever does good deeds,

funnily enough, see, it is for their own good.

That covers what we've just been talking about, isn't it?

Allah telling us in the Quran, whoever does good deeds, this is giving sadaqa helping others smiling at somebody helping somebody remove something out from the road, giving Dawa. Yeah, yeah.

Whoever

does any Pamela solid than it is for their own good. And whoever does an evil woman as a family her it'll come back to haunt them, it'll be upon them. The sin of it'll be upon them.

Some ILA or be Khun Toro Zhao, who, then through your Lord, you will all return.

The good and the bad, meaning the consequences notice the eye well how it ends, because it's bringing you back to the day of judgment when the good and bad are going to be weighed up. SubhanAllah.

So this is very important point. But the difference is now the victim is not going to benefit anybody but myself. Only exclusive with myself. Yeah.

Even even reg up

interestingly, then, I'm going to stop there actually

gone over an hour. So I'm afraid we haven't finished with them. Because there's a few things I haven't taken the last part of the Hadith yet, which is very interesting. And I'll stop there for ever Roger for what he says.

And for the next session because

he mentions here, this is what we'll discuss, to begin with next time. He says what got the car so that and the source basically tough deal is thicker, Allah sadati Bill man. He said there's lots of evidences, according to even Roger, which shows the more that vicar remembering Allah

is of greater virtue than giving sadaqa to others with wells. And we will look at that and see

whether I agree with that or disagree with that. Rahimullah, even Roger.

barnacle have become open to questions what we've covered today we

saw him shake his hand again, it was so summery. Okay, just wanted to ask you in terms of the spending on one's family, was it understood by the Sahaba in terms of how far that extends? Is it to the immediate family members only or to the extended family or by virtue of that even to neighbors?

We will come

of course, it begins with the for the husband, let's be very clear and the father. He is responsible original tabula rasa female football Allahu bada Comala bobois the man and that woman and Wally him. Yeah, this is squarely the responsibility of the males, the father and the husband.

Not on women any financial responsibility. So I began

is with the wife and the children. And then beyond that, if the one's parents, if they are dependent on that don't have any means Yeah. Because with the parents,

not one person but other sons will also be responsible but with your own family wife and children only you are responsible. Yeah. So the Quran indicates that as well, that from that, they come next if they don't have if they're needy for being taken care of. And then it goes gradually as the family gets

the closest to that, you know, brothers and sisters, etc, depending on their financial circumstances, hence the idea of Zipcar and

as well

but generally it's a car the idea was to step distributes it. So start up you begin with those in the ever widening circles. Yeah, ever widening circles and the quarterback. Yeah, the relatives take priority. Yeah, this is the wider relatives then come neighbors and others and it goes wider in that census.

As salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.

Hello, what? Can I just ask you a question, please? I just, you know, you're talking about intention. And I was just sort of thinking because, you know, I talk to non Muslims quite a lot and, and generally, sort of, so, you know, intention. Is there a distinction between doing like good deeds or sadaqa for the sake of Allah for the, for pleasing Him or obeying Him? Or to get a place in Jannah? For good reward? Because Can you see there's a bit of a distinction in that. One is sort of, because you have your relationship with the Allah. And the other one is to get to Jana.

Do you see?

Yeah, he's not, it is not distinction. No.

It's, some people say, Yeah, I've heard this from as you say, well, you're being selfish. You're just doing it to get to Paradise. But But reality is that selfishness and selflessness is because that to get to Paradise is teaching us to be self less while we live in this world, is yes, there's only only dealing with the limited vision and closing off to the reality of the Hereafter. And in the hereafter there is hell as well. So it is not selfish to try and avoid everlasting hell and to want to go to Paradise and to please Allah. go to Paradise replay. Please Allah is exactly the same thing. Yeah, because it means even if he's been saved from hellfire, that's why Allah Subhana Allah

says in the Quran was sorry, oh Allah ma Filati Murghab be calm, and rush all of you to the forgiveness of your Lord. What is it? Virgin? Nothing. Agboola Yeah, it is a paradise. Allah's forgiveness, Allah's pleasure is his paradise.

Yeah. So the reality is that

whole who doesn't want to be saved from on the day of judgment and want to escape the hellfire? Yeah. Now you bring that into the equation. As far as this life is concerned. Yeah. Our creator is telling us to be actually selfless.

Okay, let's talk Allah. Hi, thank you so much. You're welcome.

Somebody come talk to me.

Hello.

Not a question. Just a request. Can Can you when you do the Quran, the verses from the Quran? Can you tell us the

iron number and Surah so I can add on in my notes because I'm trying to make up the most. Okay. All right. I'm sorry.

I think I only mentioned the last one, then I Surah four verse 38. The one before that is Surah verse 114. Yeah, and I could understood the first one you said from the Surah Baqarah. We are

when you

are good word is better than cold.

That is from the Surah Baqarah. So Inshallah, if you can

Just tell us yeah I don't mind you asking me to interject and just say what this was about pleasing foods okay and

welcome any other questions

so it needs to heal sorry I felt no need to be sorry someone like

I'm fine this is for you guys to ask questions don't be sorry. I felt silly last time when we talking about the good deeds and I felt that it might be very silly question to ask but I mean mashallah you viewed the beautiful way that you kind of do this shell Hadees that you try and think about my mind kind of wanders around whether what would be the best deed or most you know acceptable most sweetest to Allah subhanaw taala that you should try to do and you have so many around to look for and to strive for our the prophets for example when for the best deeds to do which will be most dear to Allah subhanaw taala

what would be the best you see

number one, Allah through His mercy has made it so wide open for his to gain good deeds, doesn't he? I mean, when the Hadith talk about smiling, removing something harmful from the road

Yeah, growing a plant they're not limited because there's because the list is endless is it not brothers and sisters of good works? The job of the Quran, Hadith and the prophets are speaking is not to give you endless list because the list is vast and endless anyway. Yeah. So that's, that's the first thing

perhaps not puts it into context is that

if somebody is in need of learning, yeah.

And they have

and they have food and water and you give them food and water, then the better thing would be to give them learning with it not education.

Yeah. So this is these are things that we have to put into context to try and realize understand what is more spending and this is wisdom, isn't it? But if you want to go

originally, always the best of the things you can do then a hadith they're there when they ask the prophesy son so he would always mention of course, the bad and worship of Allah subhanaw taala not associating any partners with him. The Quran tells us that then after that, yeah, what is ground liquid Ibadah of Allah not know shook with him what this Quran link with that and many Hadith as well after that

yes, of course, for example, God Hasina has enough we talked about is one of the best deeds to do in terms of Sadoc

it

it is it is not been isolated as one Why mention what I've just mentioned Quran links, sound to parents, does it not?

Because you asked him for the best deeds so begins with Allah you know, and he's worship and not doing * with him and then it sounds to parents you can't get you know better Deaton that you could be if you're not doing a son being good to your parents and you've been terrible with them. You can be going not being tired to relax there but you've you've left something which is of a greater higher priority is it not?

Of course would you be sending with uncut the Hassanal just comes in the general category of financial subject I'm giving to others

yeah

it's in included in that curve

included in those categories. It's a way of helping others

and when you're talking about loaning here giving a loan

any other questions

or you

think the silence says it

Calif Aaron, thank you very much. Very welcome all of you. Love bless you. Hey, today I really remember to come and again I forgot, but inshallah de la from next week I will be very very regular inshallah.
