Musleh Khan – Be Extra Courteous

			said Mr. They can learn to love you about a care to assembly level Salatu was Salam ala rasulillah.
So let's get on to part three of our series how the poor and teaches us to behave. So today we're on
verse 36 of Sudan Nisa, Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us why Buddha Allah, worship Allah. What we're
going to see in this verse are all of the etiquette and courtesies that we have to show one another.
But how all of this begins this whole discipline and training of how courteous and nice we should be
to walk towards each other. Allah subhanho wa Taala is going to teach us now how that begins. And
when it doesn't happen, what are the reasons why it's difficult for people to be courteous and kind
		

			to one another? So courtesy begins love appreciation kindness begins with our relationship with
Allah. So the first thing Allah says is take care of your relationship with me Why would Allah while
after she could be Shea, worship Allah and don't associate with him so once you make sure that your
relationship with Allah subhanho wa Taala is good, now move on to the next one, after Allah will be
leading the center, and be good and exceptionally nice, be lovely Dana sannan. San is the starting
point of how we treat our parents but it's the peak of a man when we're worshipping Allah subhanho
wa Taala, which is amazing. So Allah azza wa jal is telling us that when it comes to your parents,
		

			you have to be extra courteous, extra nice, extra loving, patient, caring, all of those wonderful
qualities. Once you take care of your parents. What comes next? A lot. So Joel continues, and he
says, we'll be one of the damier senator, or the quarterback. Well, you're Tamar. Well, Mr. Kean?
Well, Jerry the quarterback. So the first thing is whether quarterback, the people who possess
closeness to you. So yes, it refers to relatives, but it also refers to like your best friends, you
know, the word holder, but in Arabic, actually refers to when you're talking about your relationship
with somebody. On the one hand, it refers to close relatives, but it can also refer to people who
		

			know things about you that the average layman person wouldn't know. So you share certain secrets,
you invite your best friends to your house, you know, you spend a lot of time together, you talk
about your personal life. There's a there's an element, there's a sense of quarterback or closeness
that you have with certain individuals, despite that they're not your families. So this area is also
calling out that you have to be extra courteous and nice to the people who have this closeness to
you, which I think is absolutely incredible. Then he continues with it. While he attacks, the
orphans one mess at Keene and those who are in need weapon is Sabine and the traveler as well. You
		

			know, it's really interesting that when we think about travelers, don't think about just who's
sitting beside you on a plane, but also who's sitting beside you on a train courtesy to the traveler
is not just serving them and giving them you know, things to do that they need to make their life
easy, but it's also just being kind in the sense that if you're sitting on a bus, there's an MTC,
you offer it to somebody, you you know, it's not like how many parts of the world where people are
fighting, who should sit down first. But for in an Islamic Society, it actually goes it goes like
this, it kind of sounds like Okay, why don't you take the seat? The person who said no, no, no, you
		

			have to go ahead. And now you're actually fighting on who should be sitting first. So that courtesy
it goes in, it's extended beyond what you and I are accustomed to. And that's what this area is
calling us towards. It's calling us towards that to show and express that additional step of
courtesy and kindness. And it's amazing to me that how all of this starts it starts off with the
worship of Allah subhanho wa Taala. Once you take care of your relationship with Him, then you take
care of your parents, while the lowest penalty is teaching us is that despite these two categories
that deserve our best, it's not far off with what the rest of society and community deserve from us
		

			as well. So the closeness to the people, your best friends and your relatives, extra courtesy and
kindness towards them, then you have all the time as well. My second weapon is savvy, so the
orphans, the miskeen, the needy one and those who are travelers, what my second weapon is savvy, or
what be the quarterback, Allah subhanaw taala then tells us about our close neighbors, our close
neighbors, this is these are the people that literally live beside you. So by the way, they'll
quarterback when we say closest to you, it could also refer to anybody living on your street so
you're genuinely good with people even living on the same street or in the same village as you but
		

			what be the quarterback or where the quarterback. It's also now talking about your close neighbor so
the person sitting beside you that sees you going into your car in and out of your house. Be extra
courteous and extra
		

			came to them. What Oh, man, what oh man medikit a man who come and also what's your right hand
possesses. So this a is actually standing up for the rights and kindness for people who probably
don't have a voice, who are not always able to express that, hey, you know, I didn't like the way
that you talked to me. I didn't like the way that you treated me. I didn't like the way that you
acted. They don't always have the ability to say those things. And so as a result, this a calls upon
us as believers as people of Amen, to take the step forward and really be examples to society, to
show the courteousness and kindness that believers must have an all of this starts off with our
		

			relationship that we have with Allah subhana wa Tada. Then the A concludes, and here's why it where
I want to spend some time on. It's how the verse concludes, the verse concludes, in Mullah larrieu,
hibou, men kanima hotel, and for hora. Allah does not like the ones who are amongst the motel and
forhold motel comes from the word Highland hydron actually means a beautiful horse that just riding
around and showing off, it's beautiful, you know, it's beautiful color, its speed, its strength, its
physique, all of those things. That's what multiple is, and foothold is, when you're diluted. It's
when you've created this perception or this image about yourself and you work hard to preserve and
		

			project that image. So you make sure that you only wear certain types of clothing to drive a certain
car, you can never be seen in a Toyota or something like that. You can never be seen in any other
brands except like high end brand clothings and shoes and things like that. So you work hard to
maintain that. And even the way that you speak in the the attitude and and tone of voice. When you
do these things intentionally in order to project an image of somebody that you're really not,
that's called a foothold. So unless as mortel and foothold, so the person who was a show off, but
then the person who's delusional about themselves, Allah says that he does not appreciate nor does
		

			he love any Muslim or believer that has qualities like this. So now let's put this idea together.
The A is started off with the worship of Allah, then it ended off with two qualities that pretty
much they stop you they are barriers between you and courtesy and kindness. You can't be humble.
When you're Moulton. And for you, it's impossible to be kind and appreciate people and show respect
and honor to them. And just love and care for another human being. If you have more than 400 you
know, I can remember obviously not this year, but previous years when we have police officers and we
have security guards at the masjid. And you know, they're directing traffic on July day on our eight
		

			Sala and so just because of the zachman the crowd right? I could remember that some Muslims like you
know, they they got like an allergic reaction when they saw that it was like a catheter security
guard or police officer, like what are they doing here? Some kind of law? No, be nice to people.
That's what this a is about. Just being nice. Say thank you for your service. Thank you, you know,
you're doing a great job. I really appreciate that you're here keeping us safe, making sure that
traffic flows well. I appreciate that from you. Just being courtesy, courteous to people is a part
of our Amen. This area highlights that if you are good to Allah, and you are good to your parents
		

			and the people closest to you, then the only thing that prevents you from living that way is mortal
and for horde, which is pretty much being ignorant,
		

			being ignorant, pretending that you're somebody you're not. This is something that Allah subhanho wa
Taala a more than one place in the entire poor and tells us this is something that he does not love.
And so this is why this particular verse is one of those verses of the Quran that really drives home
some of the things that Allah looks for, and causes us to to exercise. When we're in any culture in
any society of any community in any part of the world. Some countries I've been to as soon as I land
at the airport, I remember I would go through customs when I finished with customs as I'm walking
out, look for you know the driver or get into a cab. And some of them would be asking me questions
		

			like, Where are you from? Where are you doing here? How's life how's people in Canada, blah, blah,
blah, and we just have a conversation. And at first it's a little bit awkward because people just
simply don't do that. Courtesy is one of the things that's almost completely lost and forgotten in
culture in society today. It's very sporadic, that when you see somebody that goes out of their way
and exercise that extra level of courtesy and care and attention to you, it's it's like it makes
your entire day. How do you feel when you do something nice.
		

			For somebody else, don't you feel good? And this is what the a is calling us towards for amendment
aerosol topo or sadaqa did his snafus and we assume who will lead us through
		

			our stuff now what can never be Krishna for centuries Sidhu linearis Allah, Allah subhana wa Taala
clearly tells us that whoever strives to do things right but amendment airpo with that by you give
and you give with consciousness of Allah. Also Duncanville. husana, and you give with her SNA you
give with righteousness, you have a good clear intention that you want the best for somebody else
for send me a sudo, what would you do sudo Allah will always make your life easy for you. And that's
the thing. That's the feeling that we get when we are nice, and we do good things. For others, it
makes us feel good. How do we feel when we do something horrible, or do something terrible, like you
		

			have to be an exceptionally evil person to intentionally or willingly hurt somebody, whether it be
emotionally psychologically or physically, and not feel any remorse, not feel any regret? And these
are some of the things that, you know, we should be thinking about when recently when
		

			a young black man was was killed by a police officer. And there's a lot of controversy why that
happened? A lot of discussion, a lot of anger. But I always imagined myself if I was a police
officer, how would I feel it would, it would rip me apart? Like, where's the remorse? Where's the
guilt? Where's that feeling? Okay, at the end of the day, at least, if he did a crime if he did
something wrong, then follow protocol restrain and then deal with things according to protocol. But
no, for some reason, I mean, it just spirals out of control. And lots of things that are unnecessary
ends up happening in the poor guy, as well as many other many others, they lose their lives this
		

			way. And so panela, it really just makes you think about where, as, as mankind as human beings, what
level we've reached in terms of just simply caring for one another. And then the flip side of that
story is, you'll see every now and then on the news, like for example, a taxi driver picks up
somebody and that person left their person the car soon as the taxi driver drops off the passenger,
they left the bag, they left their purse, they left their wallet, what have you. And the taxi driver
just decides to look into the wallet sees the address concept, a person what have you says, hey,
look, you left your wallet or deliver it to their house. And before you know they're on front page
		

			newspapers, their headline news, oh, my God, they actually returned the wallet, they return the
purse? Are you kidding me? Isn't that what we're supposed to do? And so it's glorified and is like,
Oh my god, Subhana Allah, how, how amazing it is, you actually return something that didn't belong
to you to the, to the rightful owner. And Subhana, Allah in our Deen, at least in an Islamic
Society. And these are fundamentals of how human beings must live. These are the ways that these are
the things that Allah expects from us. You know, it's one thing that's a panela what the books say
and what people do. And so I pray that Allah subhanaw taala, allow us to really internalize and
		

			receive this a in the best way possible, that we could exercise it, that we could practice it, we
could share it with others, and even with people who know nothing about the poor, and they will see
this as in our character, and our personality, in our behavior in our etiquettes. They see this a a,
in, in you and in me. So this is what's really important when we talk about how the horse teaches us
to behave, it's not how the court and dictates our life. As a matter of fact, for me personally,
having a let tell me what to do and what to say, is like a blessing. It's the greatest blessing on
Earth, I am perfectly fine. That the one who designed and created me, the hardest and the most solid
		

			are the one who fashion me and the one who created me, I'm perfectly okay with him, telling me where
I should go and what I should do. And so it gives me that reassurance that I'm always going to be
doing the right thing and be on the right track and shuttle Butera. And so that's what this that's
what this verse is all about. So I hope and I pray that you really can appreciate this verse for
what it is. Take some time to really listen to this, listen to it again, so that you can find where
in this verse you fit in perfectly, and continue to grow and improve and manifest your etiquettes
and you and the good qualities in you so that people see, at the end of the day, just being a
		

			believer is all about being courteous and kind to one another. So wherever you are, be courteous and
be kind to one another. Just have the low height and everyone take care was set up more than one
document to learn about accounting.
