00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			Harm them by either way of humiliation
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:03
			or way of,
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			making them feel less than.
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			And these are all ways that you could
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			potentially
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:11
			damage and harm your sadaqah.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			A good speech that you give,
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			a kind words that you say,
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			and forgive less
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			for perhaps some of the ways that people
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			approach you due to their desperation is better
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:32
			than
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			a charity that you give
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			that fall is followed with harm.
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			And you learn something there. It's not just
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			about what you do, but how you do
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			it. It's not just about what you do,
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			but how you do it. This is something
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			that we should keep in mind.
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			And there were many parables and examples Allah
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			subhanahu wa ta'ala gave as it relates to
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			those that give sadaqa, but they do it,
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			breaking all of the conditions
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55
			and all of the, etiquettes that they do
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			not get any reward rather they are sinful
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:58
			for that action.
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			Let's start with ayah 267
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			where Allah says,
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:04
			oh you who believe.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			Oh you who believe. Every time Allah subhanahu
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:10
			wa ta'ala calls us and says,
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			We are meant to pay extra attention. It
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			is your lord and your creator calling you.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:19
			All you who believe.
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:24
			Spend of the good
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:27
			and the halal that you have earned. Spend.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			Spend meaning give charity.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			From the good that you have earned, from
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37
			the halal that you have earned.
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:38
			Means halal.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			Here immediately you learn that Allah does not
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			accept your sadaqah if you're giving it from
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			haram earned money.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:49
			So if you received income through impermissible means,
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:51
			if you give sadaqah from it, this will
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			not result in reward.
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:56
			Now many people say, well sheikh, I had
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:56
			a past
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			and I have
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:01
			earned money in in an impermissible way.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			What am I meant to do with it?
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04
			Can I consume it? Can I give it
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			to my children? Can I benefit from it?
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:07
			And the answer is no no and no.
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			You are meant to get rid of it.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			Well, how do you get rid of it?
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			Do you burn it? No. You give it
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			away to
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			good causes,
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			but you will not get a reward in
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:17
			return
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:20
			because it wasn't tawheed. Allah will not accept
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:21
			it from you, yet you are still required
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			to get rid of it because you're not
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			allowed to consume it. You've put yourself in
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			a situation
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			where you have money
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31
			that consuming it is impermissible.
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			Giving it to your children is impermissible,
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35
			and also
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			giving it in charity has no reward in
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:41
			it because it is impermissible wealth. It's not
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			tayib and the prophet said in hadith,
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:50
			Allah is and good and he only accepts
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			that which is good. So what does one
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			do when they earn haram and they want
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:58
			to not utilize that? They spend it in
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			good causes,
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:02
			but they do not expect any reward from
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			that. Perhaps Allah may reward them for their
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:05
			good intention
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			and for their striving to get rid of
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:10
			it, but not for the charity and the
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:10
			sadaqa.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:12
			Allah says
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			spend of the good things which you have
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:18
			legally earned. Spend on what? Spend it on
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			the poor. Spend it on the needy. Spend
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			it on your family. Spend it on zakat.
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			That's the in fact that's being talked about
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:25
			here. Charity,
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:28
			and. Right? Almsgiving.
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:36
			And also spend and give sadaqah
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:39
			from that which we, Allah says, have produced
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			from the earth for you.
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:42
			So
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:43
			here you're told
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:44
			spend
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			from that which you've earned
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			in a halal way,
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:50
			also spend the
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			from that which is produced from the earth
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:54
			but
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:57
			that which is produced from the earth is
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			that not also
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			money and wealth that you've earned and worked
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			for? Is that not also your work? Yes,
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			it is. Especially the imagine a farmer
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:09
			that prepares the fields, plants the seeds, tells
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			does everything that needs to be done, invests
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			in it, irrigates it and then the fruits
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:14
			and the vegetables
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:15
			and everything,
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:17
			has been growing.
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:19
			And then he's being told by Allah
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22
			spend from that or what you earn from
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:23
			that just like everyone else has to give
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:24
			sakat and sadaqah.
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:26
			Yet Allah specified
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			Spend from that which we have given you.
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			Spend from that which you have earned in
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:34
			means
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37
			on the those that are in need and
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39
			also spend from that which we have produced
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			from the earth.
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:42
			Why did Allah specifically
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			mention that which has been produced from the
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:45
			earth?
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			Because you're meant to spend from all types
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:48
			of wealth,
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:49
			whether it's,
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			that which you earn from trade, whether it's
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:52
			wages,
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			whether it's, in investments, whatever it is, you
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			have to get charity from it all. Right?
		
00:04:57 --> 00:05:00
			So why specifically hone in
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			on that which grows from the earth?
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			Because that which grows from the earth, there
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:07
			is an element
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:10
			that only belongs to Allah in it.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:11
			The seed.
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:13
			You can plant the seed.
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:15
			You can water it.
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:17
			You can make sure that the conditions are
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:18
			right,
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:21
			But who actually makes it grow?
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:24
			Who actually makes it grow? Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			ta'ala. That's why Allah specifically
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:30
			mentioned this and there's barakah attached
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			to that which grows from the earth.
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:35
			Also often
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:39
			often that which irrigates the farms and the
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:42
			the fields is rain sent from the the
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			sky by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. An interesting
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:47
			did you know that when you are
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:51
			meant to give zakat from your crops and
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:53
			the yield of your farm when you're meant
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:55
			to give zakat from it, you pay more
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:56
			zakat
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:57
			if it was,
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:00
			irrigated by rain. You pay more
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02
			and you pay less
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:03
			if you,
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:06
			if it's from pumps and things that you
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			have to put work in because Allah subhanahu
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			wa ta'ala has just and realizes
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:11
			that
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:12
			that which,
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:13
			came to you easier,
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:15
			you meant to give a little bit more
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17
			than that which came to you with a
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			lot more investment and work.
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:21
			Then
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:21
			Allah
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27
			says, and do not aim to give in
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:27
			charity
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:32
			that which is the worst or bad
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:33
			from your wealth.
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:34
			Here you're being told
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			when you are giving something away, don't give
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			away that which is the least.
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:41
			Now
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:44
			a common thing that often happens is when
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			we are giving clothes in charity.
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			There is a white Toyota
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:52
			apparently blocking,
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:54
			other other cars,
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:55
			so it's a BR68.
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			If anyone has that car, please make sure
		
00:06:58 --> 00:06:58
			that you can
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:06
			But this is
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:08
			important. You come to the masjid, but you
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:09
			need to be more considerate.
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:13
			Where was I?
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:17
			Nam,
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:22
			Do not give in charity. Allah says
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:25
			Do not aim to give
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			the worst of your wealth or the bad
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:28
			of your wealth.
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:29
			Now
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:33
			how does that manifest itself? In the past,
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:34
			it would manifest itself.
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:38
			Also another car, the the, license plate is
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:39
			c t 60.
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42
			Please also if you can remove that car
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:43
			as well.
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48
			Do not aim for the worst of your
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:50
			wealth when you are giving in charity. Now
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			money is money right if you're transferring money
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54
			that doesn't really have bad or worse. A
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:56
			pound is a pound and a tenner is
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:56
			a tenner.
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:59
			But when can it manifest itself?
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:00
			So in the past, if you had if
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:02
			you were giving sadaqa,
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:04
			if you were giving, sheeps
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:07
			or camels or goats, then you don't give
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:09
			the worst, the skinniest, then you don't give
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11
			that one. You give something better. Have you
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:14
			give you dignify the person asking
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:17
			you. Right? Or in our times,
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:19
			often have I'm sure you've been a part
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:20
			of it.
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:21
			Collecting clothes
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:24
			and you have sometimes
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:27
			a lot of these charities they're asking
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:29
			for clothes to be sent to places where
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:30
			they need it,
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:32
			to keep them warm especially in the winter.
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34
			There's a lot of winter freeze campaigns where
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:35
			they ask you,
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37
			blankets and they ask you for jacket and
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39
			things like this. So this is sadaqa.
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:43
			Now how horrible is it if some people
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:46
			treat this opportunity of sadaqa as a way
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:47
			to clear the clutter of their house?
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:49
			Right?
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:52
			All the clothes that no one wants, you
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:54
			would never allow your children to wear it.
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:57
			You would probably throw it away, but you're
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:58
			like, you know, I might as well add
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:01
			it into the clothes that are going for.
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:02
			That that is
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:06
			That's what Allah subhanahu is talking about here.
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:08
			You have an opportunity to spend. Allah wants
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:10
			you to spend but do not give the
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:14
			people that which is Khabith meaning the bad
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:16
			of your wealth. And that Allah says
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:22
			You want to spend and give that, rather
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:25
			you would never take it. Rather what? If
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:26
			you were in that position,
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:30
			you would not accept it.
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35
			Except if you close your eyes and tolerate
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:37
			it. I want you to,
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:40
			think about it for a second. Sometimes you're
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:41
			so desperate
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:43
			that you have no choice but to take
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:46
			it. Right? It is the it is, the
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:48
			best case scenario for you if your children
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:51
			are freezing, if you're hungry, if you're desperate.
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:53
			But Allah is telling us here, among the
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:56
			adab and the etiquette of sadaqa, is that
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58
			when you are giving sadaqa, that you do
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:58
			not give.
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:06
			Do not give the the bad of your
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:09
			wealth, the bad of that which you own.
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:11
			Do not give that away that you yourself
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:13
			would not take except if you have no
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:15
			choice and you would take it closing your
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:16
			eyes.
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:18
			Remember
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:21
			that these passages are all about
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:24
			ensuring the dignity of the one asking,
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:27
			ensuring the honor and dignity of the one
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:29
			that is desperate, ensuring the honor and dignity
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:32
			of the one that's asking for the sadaqah.
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:33
			At that moment,
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:35
			they need you.
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:37
			So you need to do everything in your
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:39
			power to make sure that you're not putting
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:42
			them lower than they already feel for being
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:43
			in a situation
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:45
			where they need other people's help.
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:48
			So what is the moral and the lesson
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:49
			here?
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:58
			And know that Allah
		
00:10:58 --> 00:10:59
			know
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:00
			that Allah
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:03
			is rich and free of all need. So
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:05
			all these aya that are telling you give,
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:08
			give, give. But not only give, give in
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:10
			the best way possible. Give the best of
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:11
			your wealth. These aya that are telling you
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:13
			that, Allah is saying that's not for me.
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:15
			Allah does not need it. Allah is. Allah
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:16
			is free from this.
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is hamid
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:21
			worthy of all praise but rather it is
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:22
			for yourselves.
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:24
			It is to ensure that the Muslim ummah
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:26
			is taking care of itself.
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:27
			Right?
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:29
			And brothers,
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:31
			this aya had a
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:34
			this ayah had a
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:38
			is a reason of revelation.
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:42
			So it is important to understand the situation
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:43
			of the Sahaba,
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:45
			during the time of the prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:48
			wa sallam. Not all of them were wealthy
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:50
			or rich. Many of them were struggling and
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:52
			poor especially after the hijrah.
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:55
			So the hijrah from Mecca to Medina
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			resulted in many of the companions of the
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:58
			prophet
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:01
			being people that were poor and in poverty
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:03
			because they left their businesses,
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:06
			they left their wealth, they left their families,
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:08
			and they left their homes. They became refugees.
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			Leave Mecca and they came to Medina. When
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:13
			they came to Medina, many of them had
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:16
			no jobs, had no lands, had no homes,
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:17
			had nothing
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:20
			and a large group of them,
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:22
			they would live in the masjid.
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:24
			They were known as or
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:25
			and
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:27
			they lived in the masjid.
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:29
			There's a great companion among them. Who can
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:30
			tell you who their companion was?
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:35
			Now the Sahaba,
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:37
			the Ansar
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:38
			who are
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:42
			from Medina, who had lands, who had crops,
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:44
			it was their responsibility to take care of
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:46
			the Ansar. To to take care of the
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:47
			muhajirun.
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50
			And what they would do is they would
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:50
			take
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:51
			their
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:54
			they date palms trees from their from their
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:56
			farms and they would bring them and they
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:59
			would hang them in the masjid or they
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:00
			would leave them in the masjid.
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:02
			And then the sahaba
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:04
			when when they would get hungry those that
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:06
			had nothing they would eat from those dates.
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:10
			So some of them started to bring dates
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:12
			that were not,
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:14
			very edible.
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:17
			They were they they were dates
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:20
			that have hardened. They were the worst kind
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:23
			of dates, the worst kind of tamer, they
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:23
			would bring it.
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:26
			And they would sometimes mix it in with
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:27
			the better ones.
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:29
			And some of them,
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:32
			the intention wasn't give them the worst, but
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:34
			it was I might as well add this.
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:36
			I might as well give this and add
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:37
			this. Right?
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:40
			And it was then that Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:42
			ta'ala revealed this ayah
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:43
			So
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:44
			that,
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:45
			the
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:48
			the sahaba that were in poverty
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:49
			were given
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:51
			something that is worth giving.
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:52
			Something
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:54
			not the kind of
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:57
			dates that you would rather throw away.
		
00:13:58 --> 00:13:59
			That you yourself will not give to your
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:00
			children.
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:04
			But rather you give them not necessarily the
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:05
			best of your wealth but that which is
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:06
			acceptable.
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:08
			Not what the best of your wealth but
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:11
			what? That which is acceptable for you.
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:12
			So this is,
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:15
			the servant of Nazul, but it's applicable to
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:17
			everyone and everything. And it's something that you
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:19
			have to keep in mind. Literally, the all
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:21
			the ayah that we've done last week and
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:23
			also doing today are heavily
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:24
			involved in,
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:26
			ensuring
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:29
			that the the receiver of charity
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:31
			is dignified,
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:33
			is honored,
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:34
			is respected.
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:36
			Give them something respectable.
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:39
			Pick them up because they already feel down.
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:40
			It's not enough that you're giving it to
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:42
			them. How are you giving to them? What
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:43
			are you saying when you're giving to them?
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:46
			What type of, are you giving it? All
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:47
			of this is important.
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:56
			Spend of the good and the halal of
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:57
			that which you have earned.
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:01
			And also spend from that which we have
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:03
			produced from the earth, which is also part
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:06
			of your wealth. But Allah mentioned it because
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:08
			that which comes from the earth is something
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:10
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala produced particularly.
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:13
			Because no matter how long we,
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:15
			play around with seeds and whatnot, we cannot
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:16
			make it grow if Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:17
			does not want it to.
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:22
			Do not aim for that which is the
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:23
			worst of your wealth.
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:27
			You want to spend that but you would
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:28
			never take it yourself.
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:32
			Except if you had your eyes closed and
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:35
			you barely tolerated it. And know and remember
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:36
			and Allah
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:37
			is
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:39
			rich and free from any need.
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:43
			Worthy of all praise. Then Allah in the
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:44
			following ayah
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:46
			reminds
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:47
			us that
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:48
			we
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:50
			have shaitan
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:52
			constantly whispering to us
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:56
			to prevent us from good, to prevent us
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:56
			from shaitanqa.
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:59
			And among the ways shaitan does that is
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:01
			by reminding you of poverty
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:04
			and making you fear poverty. Allah says the
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:04
			Quran,
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:08
			the devil.
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:12
			Threatens you with poverty
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:16
			and commands you to commit
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:18
			evil sinful acts.
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:21
			Allahu and Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:23
			promises you
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:27
			forgiveness
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:28
			and extra.
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:29
			Forgiveness
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			and more barak in your wealth. Forgiveness
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:33
			and bounty.
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:36
			And indeed Allah
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:39
			is all sufficient for his creatures needs.
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:43
			All knowing. Meaning Allah knows what you're doing,
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:46
			what you're saying, what you're giving. Allah knows
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			everything. So in this ayah, we're being told
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:51
			and some of the mufassiri in the scholars
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:52
			of the said
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:54
			that the shaitan
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:55
			will often
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:57
			will often
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:58
			push you towards
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:01
			not giving sadaqa
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:02
			by
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:05
			making you think of your responsibilities,
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:08
			by making you think of obligations
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:11
			and this is something this is one of
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:11
			the makagid,
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:14
			the masayid, the shaytan. The ways the devil
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:15
			targets us
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:16
			because
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:19
			there are subtle ways by which the shaitan
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:21
			targets us. One of them is
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:22
			that
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:25
			if he can get you to sin, that's
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:26
			what he wants.
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:28
			That's what he wants. That's a easy win
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:29
			for him.
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:31
			If he doesn't get you to sin,
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:34
			if he can get you to have shortcomings
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:35
			in your Ibadah,
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:37
			that's another win for him.
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:39
			Maybe you prayed your 5
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:42
			but you Allah, that's enough. No need for
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:43
			sunnah. Alhamdulillah. He prayed your 5. Go rush
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:45
			rush out of the masjid. Right? That's another
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:48
			win for him because he managed to lessen
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:49
			your reward.
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:53
			Another win for him is sometimes that there
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:55
			are 2 acts of worship but one has
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:57
			more virtue than the other or one is
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:59
			more important than the other. If he can
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:01
			deviate it to the other one, he will.
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:02
			That's why Raqayee
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:04
			used to say something very powerful.
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:05
			The devil, the shaitan,
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:08
			he will busy you
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:12
			with that which is important. The shaitan will
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:15
			busy you with that which is what? Important.
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:20
			To ensure you're not doing that which is
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:21
			even more important.
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			To ensure you're not doing that which is
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:25
			even more important. It's important. This is why,
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:29
			it's we have to be able to,
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:32
			figure out some of the windows that the
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:35
			shaitan can enter from. Some of regarding sadaqa,
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:36
			because that's what the Isaiah is
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:38
			about, fear of poverty.
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:40
			Fear of poverty.
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:42
			You need this.
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:45
			You need this. He will not tell you
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:47
			you need this when you have all these
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:48
			other unnecessary
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:51
			subscriptions that you pay monthly to, then you
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:53
			don't need the money. Then he will not
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:53
			remind
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:56
			you. Right? When you're buying unnecessary stuff, you
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:58
			don't have that voice in you, don't buy
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:00
			this. Don't you need the money. You don't
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:01
			have that. But the moment
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:04
			it is someone stands up, and we need
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:05
			to give charity,
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:08
			this responsibility and that responsibility
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:10
			and this issue and what you're gonna do,
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:11
			that's from the shaitan.
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:13
			That is from the shaitan.
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:17
			Right? So it is upon us to remember
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:18
			Allah's promise.
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:23
			Allah promises you forgiveness from him, which is
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:24
			what you want.
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:27
			And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala promises you
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:29
			a means
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:32
			more, bounty, blessings. The prophet
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:41
			Charity never decreases
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:42
			any wealth.
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:43
			Right?
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:46
			Meaning Allah will put barakah in whatever
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:48
			is left for you. So keep this in
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:51
			mind, my brothers and sisters. Not to mention,
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:53
			what we also need to get rid of
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:54
			is the glorification
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:55
			of wealth.
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:59
			The glory the constant glorification of wealth for
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:00
			its own sake.
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:02
			Because
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:04
			the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:06
			used to
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:07
			not
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:09
			ask Allah,
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:12
			oh Allah make the provisions of me and
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:15
			my family kafaf. Meaning that's which that which
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:16
			is enough.
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:18
			That which is enough and not a lot
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:20
			of extra. That which is enough. And if
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:22
			there was anything extra, the prophet give it
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:22
			away.
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:24
			The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam would give
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:26
			it away. And he is our example in
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:29
			our uswa. What you're learning here is and
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:30
			some of the salafs, you should discuss this,
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:32
			and they used to say that
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:35
			what is the ruling
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:37
			and this was asked, I believe, it was
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:38
			Abdullah ibn Barak. He was asked,
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:40
			what is the ruling
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:42
			of the one
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:43
			who
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:45
			wanting to be
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:48
			spending upon those that are in need of
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:50
			him, family, relatives and whatnot,
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:52
			goes to every,
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:55
			possible way of earning
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:57
			until he falls into haram.
		
00:20:58 --> 00:20:59
			And he
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:01
			said, it is better for this person to
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:02
			earn less
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:04
			much much less
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:07
			and give that which is enough for his
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:09
			family that fund haram. That will make sense.
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:11
			Of course, you don't wanna earn haram and
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:13
			spend it on it. Allah just told us
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:14
			that he will not accept it. But then
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:16
			he said what about the one that does
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:16
			it
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:18
			in halal means?
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:20
			He's earning a lot of halal, a lot
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:22
			of money. What about that one? And he's
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:22
			spending it.
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:25
			He said this is higher.
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:27
			This is higher.
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:29
			But he did add a thing. He said,
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:30
			but that person
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:31
			does have to remember
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:35
			that you will be questioned more.
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:37
			So this is something that you have to
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:38
			always ask yourself.
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:42
			Do I want to be wealthy beyond measure
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:44
			and spend
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:46
			a lot of higher in it?
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:48
			But that with that comes a responsibility.
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:50
			That a you will overcome
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:52
			the whispers of the shaytan
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:55
			that you will able. So look in the
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:56
			mirror ask yourself. I want this wealth and
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:57
			I want that wealth and I want to
		
00:21:57 --> 00:21:58
			earn this and I want to have this
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:02
			many businesses but okay that's fine. Why?
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:03
			Or I want to help the ummah, I
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:05
			want to give a lot of sadaqa. That's
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:06
			great.
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:07
			Are you
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:09
			do you understand
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:11
			what else comes with that package?
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:13
			More responsibility
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:15
			because you'll pay more zakats.
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:17
			More responsibility
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:20
			because you are now a source of for
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:22
			the ummah. So what will you do with
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:25
			that? More question from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:28
			That you will be asked, you will be
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:29
			asked, you'll be asked
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:31
			for the blessings Allah
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:33
			has given you. So you take out of
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:36
			that package. So while understanding
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:37
			the responsibility
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:38
			of wealth,
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:42
			understanding the attacks of shaitan that will force
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:43
			you to keep your wealth,
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:46
			and
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:49
			the doors of shaitan that open up for
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:51
			you, the more wealthy you are. Certain type
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:52
			of sins will open up to you that
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:54
			you were not doing before because you can
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:57
			literally afford them. If you're willing to overcome
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:58
			all of that and then give,
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:00
			then you're upon Allah.
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:03
			But how many people can actually say that
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:05
			which is why when it comes to this
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:08
			constant messaging that we hear get wealthy, get
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:09
			wealthy, get wealthy,
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:11
			it needs to take into consideration all those
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:12
			variables.
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:14
			May Allah protect us from shaitan.
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:15
			Right? And remember
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:19
			this following point. The shaitan, Allah says
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:23
			Allah says, he will threaten you with poverty.
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:26
			When? When you wanna give.
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:29
			And he will command you to do evil
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:30
			and sinful acts.
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:33
			Promises you
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:34
			forgiveness.
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:43
			That
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:45
			those that give sadaqah
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:47
			that it
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:50
			extinguishes your sins
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:53
			like water extinguishes fire.
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:55
			So those among us that are burdened with
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:56
			sin,
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:57
			give lots of charity.
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:00
			Those among us that are acting falling into
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:01
			haram
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:03
			remedy that with sadaqah
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:06
			because it extinguishes it. May Allah
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:08
			extinguish all of our sins.
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:11
			Now now that you have
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:13
			2 messages
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:14
			entering,
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:18
			One is the promise of Allah for forgiveness.
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:20
			The promise of Allah of reward. The promise
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:22
			of Allah of your wealth becoming more barakah
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:24
			if you give and you spend on those
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:26
			dire need. And then the threats of shaitan,
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:29
			the whispers of shaitan, don't give, you need
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:31
			the money. When you have this, if you
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:33
			will struggle inside of you,
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:36
			what do you need to ensure that the
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:39
			right decisions are made? You need wisdom.
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:42
			You need hikmah. And what does Allah say?
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:42
			Yutulikmataman
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:44
			yasha
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:47
			Allah gives hikmah and wisdom to him. Every
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:49
			he wills. Woman yutulikmah
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:51
			And whoever wisdom and hikma was given to
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:52
			and granted to
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:57
			that person abundant good has been given to
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:58
			him.
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:04
			But none remember and receives this reminder
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:08
			except people of understanding. Except people of understanding.
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:09
			Here Allah
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:11
			is telling us about hikma. Now hikma
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:15
			literally means wisdom. Hikma means wisdom. And hikma
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:16
			in the Arabic language
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:24
			is to put something exactly where it belongs.
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:28
			Meaning in other words, to be wise means
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:29
			to do the right thing
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:32
			at the right time in the right circumstances
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:34
			and the right way. To say the right
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:36
			thing in the right way to the right
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:37
			person. So always,
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:41
			make make that as wisdom. If Allah blesses
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:42
			you with that,
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:44
			In other
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:47
			words, wisdom is that you overcome the whispers
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:47
			of Shaitan
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:51
			that he's whispering you don't give charity, you
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:53
			need this, right? And,
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:55
			overcoming that with hikmah
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:58
			overcoming that with hikmah and that's why because
		
00:25:58 --> 00:25:59
			Allah
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:00
			asked the question,
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:01
			this ayah
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:04
			generally speaking does not seem to fit
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:05
			with the
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:07
			with all the ayahs that came before. Every
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:09
			ayah that came before in the last few,
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:12
			what about charity, how to give charity, what
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:14
			breaks to charity, what not to do, write
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:15
			parables around charity,
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:18
			then then Allah mentions
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:22
			wisdom. Then it continues on about, sadaqa and
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:24
			more ayaats of sadaqa. And it's gonna continue
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:26
			until next week insha Allahu Ta'ala. And then
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:27
			we get into riba.
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:30
			The ayah of Riba.
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:31
			Taib.
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:33
			So my brothers and sisters,
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:35
			the the point here is
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:38
			ask Allah for hikmah as well.
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:40
			Ask Allah for hikmah and wisdom as well
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:43
			because that will aid you in in,
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:45
			in giving some of the scholars of the
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:47
			sahaba they said
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:49
			means other things as well, or it means
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:50
			something else completely.
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:53
			He wants.
		
00:26:58 --> 00:27:00
			Means the knowledge of the Quran. Right? And
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:01
			then he meant in specifics,
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:02
			knowing
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:05
			the reasons of revelation, knowing the abrogated verses
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:06
			from the ones that weren't abrogated,
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:09
			knowing the meanings. So he said
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:10
			Quran is the.
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:13
			Some of them said it is the sunnah.
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:15
			Some of them gave other,
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:17
			translations for hikmahir
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:18
			but,
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:20
			the scholar said
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:21
			this is not
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:24
			contradictory statements,
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:28
			but complementary statements. It means conventional wisdom.
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:31
			It also means Quran. It also means sunnah.
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:34
			It also means knowledge. Whoever Allah gives that
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:36
			to because often we gain a lot of
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:37
			wisdom from the Quran.
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:39
			We gain a lot of wisdom from the
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:40
			Quran. So Allah
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:43
			gives to him whoever he wills. In other
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:44
			words,
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:46
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, this is something that
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:47
			people need to also appreciate.
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:50
			When we say Allah is the provider,
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:52
			Allah is the provider.
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:53
			What does Allah provide? What comes to mind
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:55
			here? Allah provides
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:59
			risk. Right? Provisions food and water and jobs
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:01
			and income and money, but Allah also provides
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:02
			akhlaq.
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:04
			Right? Allah provides
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:08
			Allah provides wisdom. Some will have more than
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:10
			others. Some will have more akhlaq than others.
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:12
			Some will have more knowledge than others. So
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:14
			Allah is giving all of this, and Allah
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:15
			is telling us here,
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:19
			Allah gives wisdom and whomever he wants.
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:23
			Whoever receives that wisdom, may we all be
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:23
			blessed with it.
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:26
			He has been given what?
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:29
			A lot of abundant
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:34
			and none remember and receive and accept this
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:35
			reminder,
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:38
			illa'ool albab accept people of understanding.
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:41
			Inshallah ta'ala, we'll conclude here tonight. We've
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:44
			to summarize,
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:47
			we learned about
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:49
			what do you do
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:53
			with halal money, and can you get rewards
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:53
			from it?
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:56
			And what did you answer with that one?
		
00:28:57 --> 00:28:58
			Adam,
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:00
			what do we do with haram income if
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:02
			we have haram money? Can we give can
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:04
			we can we consume it?
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:06
			No. So what do you do with it?
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:09
			Will I get any rewards for that?
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:11
			I don't get any rewards for that. Unless
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:12
			we count what
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:15
			the good intention behind getting rid of the
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:16
			haram but not the actual it will not
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:17
			become.
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:18
			Why
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:21
			did Allah specifically mention the produce from the
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:22
			earth?
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:23
			Nam
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:24
			because,
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:28
			although it comes under the general
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:32
			wealth that Allah has given us, Allah specifically
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:33
			mentioned it because,
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:35
			crops and that which grows from the earth
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:36
			it
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:39
			it it will not grow if it isn't
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:41
			for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Right? And there
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:44
			is a lot more Ibra attached to that
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:46
			than to wages where you went and you
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:48
			did a job and you came back, which
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:49
			is why Allah is telling us look at
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:51
			these seeds that you cannot consume.
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:53
			Rain will fall on them and they will
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:55
			grow, a reminder of a lost presence and
		
00:29:55 --> 00:29:56
			a lost power.
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:01
			The main moral of the lesson of the
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:02
			ayah was
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:07
			That you do not give the worst of
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:09
			your wealth that you yourself will never take.
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:10
			So
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:13
			apply that the next time there's a clothing's
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:15
			run. Do you have a question?
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:26
			You have clothes that are not in good
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:27
			condition.
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:28
			Now this is
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:30
			for this nuance. So
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:32
			there is
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:34
			sometimes
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:35
			you have
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:38
			someone knock your door or a leaflet is
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:40
			given to you or you see a campaign
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:43
			of a clothes run for a particular area
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:46
			and then you go into your home and
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:46
			you purposely
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:48
			collect
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:50
			all the stuff you wouldn't wear,
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:52
			then the eye fits you. Because you went
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:54
			and picked what? The clothes that you would
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:56
			not wear, Right? The.
		
00:30:58 --> 00:30:59
			Right? That which you don't want you don't
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:01
			want your children to go out with.
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:02
			This the.
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:05
			However,
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:06
			if
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:08
			there are clothes
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:09
			that
		
00:31:10 --> 00:31:10
			you
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:13
			no one in your home can wear them
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:14
			or
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:18
			they will be useful to those people,
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:20
			then you can't give it away.
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:21
			But
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:24
			I would always
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:25
			remember this Aya
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:28
			and I will try my best even if
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:29
			I'm doing that because it makes sense that
		
00:31:29 --> 00:31:31
			if there are jackets that are older,
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:34
			you have 2 options. You either or you
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:36
			give it to sadaqa. Then you rather give
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:37
			it sadaqa, of course, because it will be
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:40
			useful to them. But I would still keep
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:42
			this eye in mind and see if I
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:44
			can add to it if I can add
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:45
			to it
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:47
			some clothes that I do want,
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:50
			that I would wear, that I would allow
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:51
			my children
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:52
			also would wear,
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:54
			then I would inshallah
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:56
			do that. But it's the aya
		
00:31:57 --> 00:31:59
			applies to the one who gets an opportunity
		
00:31:59 --> 00:32:00
			of sadaqah
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:03
			and on purpose goes after the things that
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:06
			he wouldn't wanna wear or use anyway. I
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:08
			hope that makes sense. So there is a
		
00:32:08 --> 00:32:10
			distinction there. There's definitely a distinction there about
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:11
			Khalafik.
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:21
			There was a
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:24
			yes.
		
00:32:26 --> 00:32:28
			Forgive us. So there was a question that
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:31
			was asked last week. It's been a week
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:32
			and I don't remember what the question was.
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:35
			So the sisters wrote here, can you answer
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:36
			the question,
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:39
			from last week because it was late. Sisters,
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:40
			if you can write it somewhere
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:42
			and send it to us, inshallah, we will
		
00:32:42 --> 00:32:43
			answer it, inshallah.
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:45
			But I don't remember what it was. I
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:47
			know it had something to do with
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:53
			I'm trying to remember what the question was.
		
00:32:56 --> 00:32:58
			May Allah forgive us. We'll wait for them.
		
00:32:58 --> 00:32:59
			I'm sure they will send,
		
00:33:17 --> 00:33:19
			One gave cattle and the other gave.
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:21
			Yes. Yes. They were
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:24
			but it was it was,
		
00:33:26 --> 00:33:27
			when Allah speaks about the 2 sons of
		
00:33:27 --> 00:33:28
			Adam,
		
00:33:28 --> 00:33:29
			Allah mentions
		
00:33:36 --> 00:33:38
			They both made an offering. It was accepted
		
00:33:38 --> 00:33:40
			from 1, and it was not from the
		
00:33:40 --> 00:33:40
			other.
		
00:33:41 --> 00:33:42
			And
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:44
			the the x the,
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:47
			the reason why it wasn't ex accepted, like
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:49
			Like you mentioned, the ulama mentioned that he
		
00:33:49 --> 00:33:49
			brought
		
00:33:50 --> 00:33:52
			the worst thing that could be given.
		
00:33:53 --> 00:33:55
			And also sometimes the intention matters as well.
		
00:33:55 --> 00:33:58
			Right? The intention matters as well because what
		
00:33:58 --> 00:33:59
			does Allah say at the end of the
		
00:33:59 --> 00:33:59
			ayah?
		
00:34:02 --> 00:34:04
			Allah only accepts from those who are pious.
		
00:34:15 --> 00:34:16
			This is turning into a q and a
		
00:34:16 --> 00:34:17
			session.
		
00:34:17 --> 00:34:20
			Hi, Rasha'Allah. We usually keep them limited but
		
00:34:20 --> 00:34:21
			Adam you already asked a question.
		
00:34:22 --> 00:34:24
			Did someone else did you ask a question
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:24
			Sheikh?
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:28
			You raised your hands. Did you? Okay. Maybe
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:29
			I'm seeing things.
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:30
			Doctor. Zayed.
		
00:34:41 --> 00:34:42
			Of giving.
		
00:34:54 --> 00:34:55
			Yeah.
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:04
			Yes.
		
00:35:07 --> 00:35:08
			Yes. Absolutely.
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:16
			This is very, this is this this is
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:16
			the
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:22
			this is the challenge that we have and
		
00:35:23 --> 00:35:23
			the,
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:27
			when Allah's telling us straight on, it threatens
		
00:35:27 --> 00:35:29
			you with poverty. That's factual.
		
00:35:30 --> 00:35:32
			It's a lot easier to perhaps sense that
		
00:35:32 --> 00:35:33
			if you're aware
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:36
			when you're in the masjid and
		
00:35:36 --> 00:35:38
			or you see someone that's in need or
		
00:35:38 --> 00:35:39
			you get a call and you can afford
		
00:35:39 --> 00:35:40
			it,
		
00:35:40 --> 00:35:41
			but
		
00:35:41 --> 00:35:43
			all of a sudden, all these other obligations
		
00:35:43 --> 00:35:45
			are coming to you. I think that scenario
		
00:35:45 --> 00:35:46
			is easier to kind
		
00:35:47 --> 00:35:47
			of sense,
		
00:35:48 --> 00:35:51
			you know, and that I can give and
		
00:35:51 --> 00:35:52
			I should ignore,
		
00:35:52 --> 00:35:54
			this this is the devil's deception.
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:56
			But what you're asking is when is it
		
00:35:56 --> 00:35:57
			the devil's deception
		
00:35:57 --> 00:36:00
			and when is it my internal logic
		
00:36:00 --> 00:36:02
			and looking at the situation,
		
00:36:02 --> 00:36:04
			from a logical perspective? I think that is
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:06
			a challenge that we all have. And look,
		
00:36:07 --> 00:36:07
			the,
		
00:36:10 --> 00:36:12
			earlier, I gave the principle of mentioned is
		
00:36:12 --> 00:36:14
			that the devil will sometimes busy you with
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:16
			that which is important to ensure you don't
		
00:36:16 --> 00:36:17
			do that which is more important.
		
00:36:19 --> 00:36:19
			Sometimes
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:23
			you can overcome this
		
00:36:23 --> 00:36:24
			by
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:25
			genuinely assessing yourself
		
00:36:26 --> 00:36:28
			and asking yourself and having a muhasabah session
		
00:36:28 --> 00:36:30
			if you will and asking yourself, am I
		
00:36:30 --> 00:36:32
			doing this out of fear of wealth
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:34
			or am I am I doing
		
00:36:35 --> 00:36:37
			why is it I'm taking this action
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:39
			or lack of action? Someone decides I am
		
00:36:39 --> 00:36:41
			going to ensure
		
00:36:41 --> 00:36:43
			that I have a good income and this
		
00:36:43 --> 00:36:45
			is the best way. Okay.
		
00:36:45 --> 00:36:46
			Are you
		
00:36:47 --> 00:36:48
			are you doing this
		
00:36:49 --> 00:36:50
			because
		
00:36:51 --> 00:36:52
			you fear poverty?
		
00:36:53 --> 00:36:55
			You fear poverty because no Muslim should ever
		
00:36:55 --> 00:36:57
			fear poverty in the way that the shada
		
00:36:57 --> 00:36:58
			wants us to fear,
		
00:36:59 --> 00:37:00
			But
		
00:37:00 --> 00:37:02
			if it's a probability,
		
00:37:03 --> 00:37:06
			if it's shura, if it's likelihood, if that's
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:07
			what you're using,
		
00:37:08 --> 00:37:10
			then you make istikhara and you go for
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:11
			it and there's nothing wrong with that. Again
		
00:37:11 --> 00:37:14
			you are allowed to make sound logical decisions
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:15
			but if
		
00:37:16 --> 00:37:18
			but the the problem is you can probably
		
00:37:18 --> 00:37:19
			justify
		
00:37:20 --> 00:37:21
			most things.
		
00:37:21 --> 00:37:23
			Most attempts of not doing the quote unquote
		
00:37:23 --> 00:37:25
			right thing, you can justify it in your
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:27
			head. From a fiver in sadaqah, no no
		
00:37:27 --> 00:37:29
			no. I rather get buy milk at home
		
00:37:29 --> 00:37:31
			because my family needs me more. You know,
		
00:37:31 --> 00:37:33
			there's a lot of ways we justify,
		
00:37:33 --> 00:37:35
			and I think it falls down, subhanAllah.
		
00:37:36 --> 00:37:38
			For your question because it actually adds to
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:40
			the eye where Allah says,
		
00:37:44 --> 00:37:46

			and fighting against the shaitan.
		
00:37:49 --> 00:37:51
			Wisdom to know when it is the shaitan.
		
00:37:51 --> 00:37:54
			Wisdom to know when it's a valid decision.
		
00:37:54 --> 00:37:56
			Wisdom to know that,

			next week, and I'll I'll you'll have to

			just write it up inshallah because the other
		
00:38:06 --> 00:38:07
			hand is coming.
		
00:38:08 --> 00:38:09
			They threw it?
