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

The connection between having wisdom

00:37:47 --> 00:37:48

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,

00:37:57 --> 00:37:57

when

00:37:58 --> 00:37:59

I'm waiting for sisters to by the way,

00:37:59 --> 00:38:01

sisters, I'm waiting for your question, if that's

00:38:01 --> 00:38:02

possible. If not, we'll have to do it

00:38:02 --> 00:38:04

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

00:38:04 --> 00:38:06

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?
