00:00:04 --> 00:00:07
			Salaam Alaikum, salatul, salaam
ala Rasulillah. Inshallah, we're
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:11
			continuing the Tashi rasulallah,
and we only have a little bit
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:14
			left. Inshallah, I think after
this class we'll only have two
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			more class to finish the Surah,
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:22
			may Allah, because among those
that benefit from from these rules
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:25
			and act upon the morals and the
values that we left from the
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			Quran. So we left off at ayah,
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:30
			269
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:41
			Yahoo, azawajal man, yesha woman,
Kathy romaya,
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:42
			the CO
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:52
			after teaching us many values
related to charity and Sadaqah,
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:59
			because sadaqah is not only about
how much you give it is about how
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:04
			you give it. Sadaqah, like any act
of worship, can be nullified so
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:08
			someone can give a lot of money,
but due to certain actions of
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:11
			this, Allah will not accept a
salad sadaqah from them, like
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:15
			Allah says. Lat Abdul, sadaqah to
come, birmen, niwal, other, do not
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:21
			nullify your charity by being
boastful about it, by reminding
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:25
			the person how much you gave them,
by making them feel that they owe
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:30
			you all of these actions, or by
insulting them and say you always
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:34
			ask me, When are you going to get
a job? Fix yourself up this kind
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:38
			of Kalam when you give sadaqah,
Allah doesn't accept your sadaqah,
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:41
			right? Allah, so there are certain
things you have to keep in mind
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:44
			when giving Sadaqah. Similarly,
Allah talked about in the previous
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:48
			ayats that the charity of the one
that shows off is not accepted. So
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:51
			if you're giving charity but
you're showing off, Allah,
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:56
			Subhanahu wa also does not accept
that. So what does Allah accept?
		
00:01:56 --> 00:02:00
			Allah and wala hum, ibtiha, Abu
dhati, lahi wa tat mean for see
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:06
			him, those that give sadaqah, that
spend upon Allah's wealth, Allah
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:09
			given them for the sake of Allah,
Subhanahu wa for the sake of
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:13
			Allah. And that is key. And they
do not do any actions that are
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:16
			going to nullify destroy the
reward that they would have gotten
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:20
			after all of those rules were
taught to us, not to mention that
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:24
			the type of wealth. Previous
lessons we spoke about the type of
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:27
			wealth you give, where Allah
subhanahu wa is telling us
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:34
			that you shouldn't give that with
you yourself would not accept,
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35
			where Allah Subhana Allah says
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:44
			the yayman Alfie, komintamum, wala
at a muhabitam for your own well
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:48
			as to be a heavy land to fee,
where Allah has telling us when
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:52
			you are giving charity, keep in
mind what you are giving. Do not
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:55
			give someone something. When, if
you were in their position and you
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:59
			were given that, you would not
accept it, or if you had no
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:03
			choice, you accepted closing your
eyes, meaning what? When we give
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:07
			people clothes we ourselves will
not wear, or food we ourselves
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:10
			will eat. This is another
etiquette and manners of Sadaqah.
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:13
			So all of this ayah Allah is not
telling us, give, give, give,
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:17
			give, no, give, but feel. Look at
what you're giving, and look at
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:21
			how you're giving, and look at the
state of your heart when you are
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:25
			given all of these are important,
may Allah, Subhanahu wa rectify
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:30
			that after Allah tells all of
those adab related to sadaqah
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:34
			Allah and tells us you util
hikmata, man yesh, util hinshah,
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:39
			Allah gives wisdom whom He wills.
Why is wisdom important here? And
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:43
			why is wisdom being mentioned here
because wisdom Ikhwan, if Allah is
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:47
			marifa to haqpi, wala ama lubihi,
very simple. Wisdom is to know
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:51
			what's right and to do what's
right. Wisdom is to know what's
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:55
			right and to do what's right. Many
know what's right, but they don't
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:55
			do it.
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:01
			May Allah make us among those. So
all of these manners and these
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			Arabs and these rules that you're
being taught about, sadaqah, may
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:08
			Allah give us the wisdom to apply
it? You util He Allah gives wisdom
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:12
			to every wills woman, you tell
hikmata, and whoever hikma is
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:15
			given to, whoever is able to know
the Haqq, whoever is able to act
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:20
			upon the Haqq, faqt, utiran,
katira, that person has been given
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:26
			an abundant of good Wallahi this
hikma, the ability to know what's
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:30
			right and to act about what's
right. It's a greater niama than
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:34
			wealth. It is a greater niama than
health. Is a greater niama than
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:38
			anything else, to know what's
right and to do what's right. May
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			Allah make us among those who are
blessed with hikma
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:46
			wamaya, the Karu, ILA, ullahu Bab
and none receive this message and
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:50
			this admonition and this reminder
except people of understanding.
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:54
			Allah is telling us. I've told you
about Allah of rules, Allah of
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:58
			laws, Allah of obligations, those
that will act upon it, those that
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			will understand it, are the.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			People whom Allah has given
understanding, may Allah make us
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:08
			among those then Allah says, wama
and fatum, Mina, faqin, oh, Nadar,
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:15
			tumin, for in Allah, haya Alamo,
wamal, meaning SAR wama and fam
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:19
			and remember, whatever you spend
of Sadaqah, whatever you spend of
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:20
			Sadaqah.
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:29
			Omar tum and any vow that you make
for in Allah haya alamu, Allah
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:34
			knows about it. In other words, in
previous ayats, something was
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:37
			alluded to, and in the following
ayat it will be mentioned
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:42
			explicitly. What is that the
importance of giving Sadaqah in
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:46
			secret. The importance of giving
Sadaqah in secret. This is you
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			learn another adab. If someone
were to list the adab relate to
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:51
			sadaqah that we learned from the
Quran Wallah. There are so many.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:55
			It's not just give. It's give in
secret. It give the best of your
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:59
			wealth. It's give with a smile on
your face. It's give without
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:03
			showing off. There's so many other
things here. Allah is teaching us,
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			when your giving is good, to give
it in secret.
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:09
			In fact, there is a Hadith
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:15
			about among the seven categories
of people that will enjoy the
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:21
			shade on their judgment. One of
them was aurajuna, a person that
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:25
			gave charity, and he hid it, and
he hid it
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:31
			up to the point and to the degree
that his left hand does not know
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:34
			what his right hand gave. Now, of
course, your right hand, or your
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:37
			left hand, this is a metaphor. It
means that the closest person to
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:41
			you does not know that you're
giving Sadaqah. You have a direct
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			debit that goes out of your bank
every night. No one knows except
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:47
			you and Allah, you send money to
someone. No one knows except you
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:51
			and Allah, you help someone, a
family member, and it's a secret
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:54
			between you and them and Allah,
Subhanahu wa This is what the best
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:57
			type of Sadaqah? It's not the only
type of Sadaqah, but it's
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59
			definitely the best type of
Sadaqah. So now someone, when they
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:03
			do that, Allah is reminding them,
don't worry, wama and FAQ to Mina,
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:09
			fakatin o nada mean netherin,
Fain, Allah hay Alamo, any charity
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:14
			that you give and any vow that you
make and you act upon that vow,
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:19
			indeed, Allah knows about it. And
because Allah knows about it, if
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:23
			you're sincere, Allah will reward
you. And because Allah knows about
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:27
			it, if you're not sincere, Allah
will not reward you. But the main
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:30
			thing is for in Allah, for in
Allah, Ya, Alam, oh, Allah knows
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:31
			it.
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:39
			Wa Mali, Wali mean Amin and Sar.
And as for the Wali Moon, the
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:44
			oppressors, they will have
absolutely no one helping them on
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:48
			their judgment. Why speak other
oppressors in this manner? Because
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			sometimes people will oppress with
this other
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:57
			and we've spoken about that in
great length, and Allah knows of
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:59
			those that are the oppressors.
Similarly, when it comes to the
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:02
			vows, it's important to understand
what a vow is in Islam and never
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:03
			Islam,
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:12
			another, another is if someone
were to say, in shafani, Allah, if
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:15
			Allah heals me, I will fast for
months,
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:22
			right? Or if I get better, that
cannabis, if I get better, I vow
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:26
			to give this maturity. People do
this all the time. They say, Ya
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:30
			Allah, Ya Allah, Ya Allah. If you
give me this, I will do this. Yes
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:33
			or no, do people do this? You
shouldn't do this. You shouldn't
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:38
			do this. There's two things people
make a mistake in. One is
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:43
			you should avoid vows. You should
avoid vows. It's not necessary.
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:49
			Just ask Allah make Duran. That's
it. Don't make Rajiv upon yourself
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:52
			something. But if you do make a
vow, fulfill it. This
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:58
			is the thing. Don't make vows. But
if you do make one, what should
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:02
			you do? You fulfill it, especially
if it's what sometimes an act of
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:07
			worship, I will fast three days.
Fast three days, I make a vow that
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:10
			I will go to Hajj. Go to Hajj.
That vow is binding upon you the
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:11
			moment you make it.
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:17
			Allah knows, and indeed, Allah
subhanahu wa, there is no one that
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:20
			will help the oppressors. May
Allah make us among those then
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:25
			Allah says, in tubudu, sadhakati.
Fani imahi,
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:33
			if you disclose and show the
sadhaka that you are giving, this
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:37
			is fine. This is good meaning,
what if you give sadaqah publicly?
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:42
			Fani imahi, this is great, as long
as the conditions are met. It's
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:45
			not haram on the jumara when we
come to the masjid and the
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:47
			buckets. Or now, it's not buckets
anymore. It's machines, right?
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:51
			They have the cards, or they have
both. And then it comes to your
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:54
			way you're getting money out and
putting coins in, or you're
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:57
			putting a note in, or you're
tapping your phone or your card,
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:58
			right?
		
00:09:59 --> 00:09:59
			Allah has tell.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:05
			Us here. That does not necessarily
mean that Jehovah has not accepted
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:08
			it's okay sometimes to show
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:14
			wa into fuha, but if you conceal
it,
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:20
			if you hide it, what to * for
Qara and you give them to the poor
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:24
			for whom that is better for you,
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:30
			where you can feel means a common
Allah will expiate you some of
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:35
			your sins. Allahu, bimata, ama,
Luna habir And Allah has well
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:38
			acquainted and knowing of what you
are doing. So here you learning
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:40
			what's being discussed. Here
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:42
			is,
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:46
			when it comes to sadaqah, is it
better to do it publicly or
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:51
			privately, or does it depend? It
depends, for example, generally
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:54
			speaking, at the real MSA, when it
comes to your zakat, someone
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:59
			should know about it, especially
if you, if you're in a living in a
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:04
			land where the government is
collecting the Zakat, because you
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:06
			have to disclose it, so that
people don't assume that you're
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:09
			what, not paying your Zakat, and
it's afford.
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:14
			And also, that's one example they
give. One example they give is for
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:17
			zakat. Another example they give
is
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:21
			if you're a role model, if you're
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:23
			if you're
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:27
			trying to encourage others to
give,
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:33
			for example, our friend is in the
hospital and they need surgery and
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:36
			they can't pay for it, or whatever
the case is, or there's an
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:40
			emergency happening and someone
needs to be urgently moved
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:44
			somewhere else, or whatever the
case is, they don't have a fridge,
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:47
			something communal. And then I
come to you brothers and say,
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:50
			brothers, we need to help the
sister. We need help as a brother.
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:54
			And Inshallah, to Allah, it's
going to cost X amount of money.
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:57
			So I'm going to say each one of us
should pay 50 pound. And I'm going
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:00
			to start I pay 50 pound. So now
what am I doing? I'm showing you
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:04
			my Sadaqah. But why am I doing
that? To also encourage all of you
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:09
			in this kind of situation? It's
encouraged to show it right,
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:13
			because the situation calls for
it. Those are the two situations
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:16
			that Allah mentioned, if it's
followed, if it's a cat, or if
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:19
			you're trying to encourage others.
There was a time where the Prophet
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:24
			sallallahu, sallam, and there was
a Sahabi, and some poor people
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:26
			came. A poor person came. He
needed help. And the Prophet
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:29
			sallam said, who's going to help
him? And then once Sahabi stood up
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:32
			publicly, he stood out, he went
home, grabbed something and
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:35
			brought it home. And then the
Prophet saw him. When everyone saw
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:38
			him do it, the other Sahaba
started to do it as well. And then
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:41
			the Prophet said, This man, he
gets the reward of all of you,
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:44
			because he's the one that what
encouraged and started it, so he
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:49
			gave sadaqah publicly. So is
giving sadaq publicly wrong? No,
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:49
			it's not wrong,
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:53
			but you still have to fulfill the
conditions that we met earlier,
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:56
			whether it's speaking nicely and
all the things that you mentioned
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:58
			not be showing off all these
things.
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:03
			Those are the two times that it
may be better to do it publicly.
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:07
			Went to fuha, but if you conceal
it for Allah, is better for you?
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:12
			Why? Why? Oh, Allah, is it better
for us to conceal
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:17
			because that is the closest to
ikhlas. That is the closest to
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:23
			ikhlas. If I do a good action
publicly. It may very well be that
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:27
			somewhere in my heart I was
showing off. But if no one knows
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:28
			about it, who am I showing off
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:34
			to nobody. So if you want to be
sure that some of your good deeds
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:39
			are most definitely accepted, do
it when no one is seeing you. Have
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:44
			an Ibadah that you do that no one
knows about, have an up salah,
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:47
			that you pray that only you and
Allah know, a sadhaka that you
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:50
			give that only you and Allah know,
right, something hayed that you
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:53
			are doing. Maybe you read Quran in
the middle of the night when no
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:57
			one is aware. Maybe you do your
istiqar in your car when you're
		
00:13:57 --> 00:14:00
			driving by yourself. Whatever it
is that ibad That you do that
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:06
			nobody knows about is the closest.
And what is Allah telling us here
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:12
			in tubudu, sadaqah, if any imahi,
if you disclose and publicize your
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:18
			sadaqah, this is, well, we're into
fuha, but if you close it, if you,
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:19
			if you, if you concede it. I mean,
sorry,
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:24
			what to * for Quran, you give
it to the poor, for this is better
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:28
			for you. And what else happens? Oh
Allah, where you can feel me say a
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:31
			Tok Allahu, forgive some of your
sins, because the Prophet told us
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:39
			that as sadaqah, that charity, it
extinguishes your sins like fire,
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:45
			extinguish like water often
extinguishes fire. So again, the
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:49
			value of Sadaqah is that it wipes
away your sins. Give sadaqah, it
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:52
			will wipe away your sins. Give
sadaqah, it will wipe away your
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:52
			sins.
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:59
			And not only that, sadaqah will be
the shade that you will enjoy the
		
00:14:59 --> 00:14:59
			development.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:03
			Right, may Allah make, as I will
enjoy, a very large shade.
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:11
			Wallahi, matama, Luna Habib and
Allah subhanahu wa is all is aware
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:15
			and well acquainted with what you
do. Then Allah subhanahu wa says,
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:16
			Lay sa
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:26
			alaikin, Allah yahadi, main yesha
wamatovian was
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:32
			a come wamato
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:35
			saying,
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:40
			Lisa Ali go down, oh Muhammad
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:47
			upon you is not their guidance,
but akin Allah yaha demo Allah
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:51
			guides whomever He wills. Why are
we talking about guidance? Here of
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:55
			sudden, when we were talking about
sadaqah, this ayah had a serve in
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:59
			Israel, like mentioned by Sir im
Juba, the great Abiah, he
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:05
			mentioned this was revealed
related to fukura udima, the poor
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:09
			people that were not Muslims, that
live among the Muslims. And you're
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:13
			learning a key lesson here. And
that lesson is that what would
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:15
			happen is amongst the Sahaba,
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:21
			you had people that had relatives
and family members that were not
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:21
			Muslim,
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:26
			and they would spend on them, and
then when they would spend on
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:29
			them, they would hope that they
would become Muslim, and when they
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:31
			would not become Muslim, they
would doubt, should they be
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:32
			spending on them or not?
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:36
			And also, so then
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:41
			they there was a connection being
made between should they? Should
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:44
			become Muslim if we're going to
give them, Allah's telling us no
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:50
			lay salary upon you. Is not their
guidance. Well akin Allah guides
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:54
			him of evils, meaning what?
Whether they become guide or not,
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:55
			spend on them.
		
00:16:56 --> 00:17:01
			So sadaqah is for everybody,
Muslims and non Muslims. Ficuly,
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:07
			kebadi, not Sadaqah. For every
living thing there is charity. So
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:10
			you don't look when it comes to
Sadaqah. Sadaqah means
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:16
			charity that is not compulsory.
Sadaqah can go to a Muslim and can
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:21
			go to a non Muslim. Zakat only
goes to Muslims. Zakat only goes
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:25
			to Muslims, sadaqah, go to both.
Why? What did the Prophet say
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:27
			about zakat? To muad Abu Jabal, he
said,
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:32
			Ya Muay. This is a very powerful
Hadith, and very important Hadith.
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:36
			Mu Abu nul, great confidante
Prophet, sallAllahu, sallam. The
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:40
			prophet sent him as a missionary
and as a leader for the people of
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:44
			Yemen to call them to Islam. The
Prophet said to him, ya Murad o
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:49
			muad in nakaza, takama, Hala,
Kitab, indeed, you will go to a
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:50
			people of the Book
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:56
			fali a, let the first thing you
call them towards be and you
		
00:17:56 --> 00:18:01
			wahidu laha to sing it Allah
worship. His first mission was to
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:02
			call the people to Tawheed,
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:07
			another narration, shahadah, Allah
Muhammad rasulallah, to justify
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:10
			that none has the right to be
worshiped. Allah Muhammad
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:15
			Sallallahu. Sallam is a messenger
for in whom at all, if they accept
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:19
			that from you, if they obey that
and accept that from you, accept
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:24
			what accept Tawheed, then teach
them that upon them is five daily
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:31
			prayers. Five daily prayers, if
they accept that from you, then
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:38
			teach them that upon them is a
charity. Tuhadu, mean, a him,
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:44
			Watu, ILA, fuqaro, ehim, it is
taken from their rich meaning, the
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:49
			believers. They're rich among the
believers. The Zakat is taken from
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:54
			and given to the poor among the
believers. So zakat, the only
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:57
			applicants of zakat should be what
believers. There is maybe some
		
00:18:57 --> 00:19:01
			nuance and an exception to be made
as it relates to, well, Mala
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:06
			Fatima. There is eight categories
of zakat. There are eight
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:11
			categories of zakat Allah
mentioned in sort of Toba in North
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:18
			zakat, leforaby, or fesability,
well, harmina, woman, Isabel and
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:21
			well, Mala photography. There is
eight people,
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:29
			the poor and the downtrodden, the
meshin and the fabir. That's two.
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:33
			Then you have the traveler, Ibn
Sabir, someone was traveling from
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:35
			A to B, and cannot go continue.
You can give themselves a god
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:40
			wala mean those that are in debt.
And the specific things that
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:44
			looked at, why did they, why are
they in debt? Then you have those
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:48
			that are fighting for the sake of
Allah. Then you have those that
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:51
			are collecting it will, I mean,
alayha, they will be paid from the
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:55
			Zakat. Then you had when Allah,
buhum, those whose hearts we are
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:59
			trying to bring closer to Islam.
So they are either very new
		
00:19:59 --> 00:19:59
			Muslim.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:03
			Muslims or people that are about
to enter Islam, right? So that's
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:06
			where I meant by that is the only
exception you can look at but Oh,
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:10
			and that's the Cadence from
Muslims sadaqah, however, sadaqah
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:11
			is for
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:13
			everybody,
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:18
			and this is Allah saying to us,
lays alaikoda upon you. Is not
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:23
			their guidance. Walakin Allah
guide whoever He wills
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:28
			wama tu om haiden, faziq, and
remember, because you gave
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:30
			charity, and there was some
Sahaba, they were they were
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:32
			spending on relatives. And they
were not Muslim. They were
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:35
			Muslims, or they were Jews and
Christians, and they were spending
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:38
			on them. And as they were spending
on them, they are still upon their
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:42
			kufr. And Allah, Allah saying,
what? Don't worry about that OMA
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:47
			Tuffle and whatever you have spent
upon them. Of saddaqah, the reward
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:47
			is for you.
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:56
			Then Allah says, wama tun furuni
Ra, and you should not spend
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:58
			except
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:03
			trying to gain the pleasure of
Allah subhanahu wa. Seeking Allah
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:06
			subhanahu wa is
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:14
			nothing good that you give, except
your falaikum. It will be repaid
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:18
			to you in full. In fact, in double
and triple and quadruple, Allah
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:22
			will increase it and increase it
because Allah promised us that
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:26
			when we give sadaqah, Allah does
not only repay us in full, but
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:29
			Allah for Allahu, Abu.
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:35
			And what are some of the factors
that you look at for the sadaqah
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:36
			multiplied number one,
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:42
			it is the state of your heart when
you were given the state of your
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:46
			heart, how humble were you? How
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:55
			eager were you? How much was
Allah, subhana wa Taala on your
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:58
			mind when you give us Sadaqah? Oh,
he did after mind the lead. A lot
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:00
			of things are looked at. How much
mercy were you showing the person?
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:03
			These are all things that have
happened in here. Another factor
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:06
			that is looked at is, how
desperate was the person? How
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:10
			desperate is this person? The more
desperate the person is, the more
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:14
			reward, right? Another factor
that's looked at is the way and
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:17
			the man is in the adab that you've
done it in. How hidden was it?
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:21
			Right? All of these are looked at.
But Allah both applies his
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:22
			manifold.
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:27
			Allah has a button for home in
hiding, whatever good that You
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:31
			give your file, you will be repaid
in full, one tumultula Moon, and
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:41
			you will not be wronged. You will
not be wrong. Then Allah, SWT,
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:49
			yes, Abu, that the charity is for
		
00:22:52 --> 00:23:01
			the focaro, the charity is, it's
meant to be primarily, and it
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:07
			ought to be, and it should be Lil
fuqara for the poor, which poor al
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:14
			ADINA, those that have restricted
themselves due to the cause of
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:18
			Allah? Who are these people that
were restricted due to the cause
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:24
			of Allah, Allah, Subhanahu, this
ayah is speaking about the people
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:28
			that were known as the Oshawa
sufa. There was a group among the
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:33
			companions that were very poor,
that lived in the masjid, and they
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:38
			relied on the charity and the
kindness of the people. Why are
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:41
			they stuck in the masjid? Because
they left their lands and their
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:45
			tribes and came to Medina, they
have nowhere else to go. Why can't
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:48
			they go back to their tribes?
Because their tribes of kufr and
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:53
			their Muslims, right? So what
restricted them? The cause of
		
00:23:53 --> 00:24:01
			Allah. Right? Why would abusive?
Why were they homeless? Why were
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:04
			they struggling? Because of
Allah's sake, subhanAllah, they
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:09
			left their tribes, they left
Mecca, they left their lands, they
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:13
			left their titles for who, for
Allah and the Prophet. So Allah is
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:19
			saying, take specific care for the
faqra of the muhajireen that were
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:26
			restricted due to the cause of
Allah, another as tafsir Allah, is
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:31
			that they've restricted themselves
from earning through haram means.
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:34
			They could have stolen like people
are stealing. They could have
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:37
			dealt in Riba, like people dealing
Riba, but they restricted
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:41
			themselves due to Allah subhanahu
wa tasir, right? In any case where
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:45
			that restriction is due to the
restriction of the nature of the
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:47
			fact that they're Muslims, and
everywhere else they were kuffar,
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:50
			outside of Medina, or the
restriction is due to the fact
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:54
			that they are limited by what they
can do. They can't do the what the
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:57
			yahudah doing with the Riba. They
can't just steal like Allah
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			Quraysh and the kuffar are doing.
They are limited.
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:08
			They cannot move about in the
land. They cannot go trade. They
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:11
			don't even have something to
trade. They cannot go work
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:18
			like yes, Abu humul jahill, Arya,
the ignorant person
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:22
			thinks that they are rich. Why
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:29
			me? Not the afuf, because of their
modesty. These people now it the
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:34
			servo no Sahaba, but you have
people like this today, someone
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:41
			who does not tell you that they're
in need, someone doesn't show that
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:43
			they're desperate. Someone that
doesn't sit outside tell them
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:46
			give, give, give. Someone that
doesn't come but Wallahi, they are
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:49
			just as desperate as the one that
are begging, but they don't beg,
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:57
			the ignorant person, the one that
doesn't pay attention. What things
		
00:25:57 --> 00:26:00
			that they are, what rich, but
they're actually what? They're
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:00
			actually poor.
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:06
			So how can you tell them? Allah
says Tari, for whom we see my
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:11
			home. But you may know them by
their signs, by their mark. The
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:15
			seed is, what is this mark? What
is this mark that helps us
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:18
			recognize the people in our
communities that are desperate and
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:23
			are in need, but they are too shy
to ask. Some of them say, you will
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:28
			find in them Allah for sure, Allah
of humility. Some said, No, look
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:35
			for the signs of poverty. Look at
the read the people's faces. Pay
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:38
			attention. This is also a call for
us to pay more attention. There's
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:41
			a famous narration where Abu
hurair was desperate for food.
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:43
			Subhanallah, Subhanallah,
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:48
			Abu huray, Rabil Haran, who was,
look at this great companion. No
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:50
			Hadith do it, except he's the one
that generated most likely
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:56
			abureya. One days, I was desperate
to eat. He sat. He was after
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:58
			salah, he said. And I sat outside
the masjid,
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:01
			and Abu Bakr came out, and I gave
Abu Asmaa looked at him, hoping
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:05
			that he will recognize, hoping
that he will recognize, but they
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:08
			gave me salami. Just continue
walking. And the same thing with
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:11
			Omar Al habi said, I spoke to
Salaam Alaikum, and he said, I'm
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:14
			Why is he not asking? Why not just
say I'm hungry, you can have some
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:19
			food. Mina, ta afuh, he was too
modest. This is sharaf. This is
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:20
			honor, right?
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:26
			That he doesn't want to go ahead
and just ask, but what is he
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:29
			hoping for? Does someone what
recognize it? The Prophet
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:32
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam came
out. The Prophet Come with me. The
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:37
			Prophet Sallam took him to his
house. And Hadith mentioned is
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:41
			that the Prophet sallam said,
Bring all the people that are also
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:46
			desperate and need in need, bring
them. And before that, he goes to
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:51
			the Prophet's house, and there is
a jar, if you will, of milk and
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:54
			and borer felt like this was not
going to be enough, just maybe for
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:56
			him. And the Prophet, sawallah Ali
wasallam and the Prophet call
		
00:27:56 --> 00:28:01
			everybody, also anyone that you
can find from the from the people
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:05
			that are in need, called them. And
he said, the huge group came. And
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:07
			they came in, and everyone sat
down, and the Prophet SAW to pass
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:11
			the milk around, not the Abu
hurayah Abu as still there,
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:15
			right? And then everyone drank to
it filled, but it just wouldn't
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:19
			finish. They will drink, drink,
drink. It wouldn't finish. The
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:22
			next person would drink, drink,
drink with and finish. This is the
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:26
			barakah of who the barakah of the
Prophet. And when everyone was
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:31
			done, the Prophet, it's your turn
on Abu as I drank and drank and
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:35
			drank and drank and drank and
drank until I felt that the milk
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:37
			would burst from my fingernails.
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:40
			Then I gave to the prophet
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:45
			the lesson that I'm trying to
point out here is Abu Hurayra did
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:47
			not say a Rasulullah, I'm
starving. He didn't say this, but
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:52
			the Prophet recognized it from
from the mark on the sinus. It's a
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:55
			call to all of us that we pay
attention to our community. When
		
00:28:55 --> 00:28:58
			you come to the masjid, look
around being if salam to someone,
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:03
			read their face, see, are they
maybe more sad than usual? Are
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:07
			they maybe looking more tired
after maybe, maybe someone you
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:09
			see, they have a slept here
haven't said, Tell us going on
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:12
			strike conversations with people
and try to see if we can help
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:16
			them. May Allah make us among
those that act upon these ayats,
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:22
			yaniya. I mean, at the Alpha home,
busy my home, the jahill may think
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:25
			that they are. Well, he's not
asking anyone, he must be okay. He
		
00:29:25 --> 00:29:29
			knows he's not asking anyone he
must be okay. But actually, this
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:32
			person is desperate. Tari, for
whom be see my home, you will know
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:33
			from their signs,
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:39
			LA, yes, aloo, Na, SA, il HAFA.
They do not beg people at all, or
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:43
			they do not beg consistently. They
may ask once, but after that, they
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:47
			will stop. And here you're
learning actually the Arab to ask.
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:52
			Don't constantly ask if you're in
a situation. Don't hassle the
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:56
			people. If you're desperate, don't
hassle the people ask, though, and
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:59
			if someone comes to you and asks
you, remember, remember that?
		
00:29:59 --> 00:29:59
			Allah.
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:04
			Chose you as an gave you an
opportunity to help another fellow
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:07
			Muslim that may be the cause for
Allah to help you in their
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:09
			judgment. May Allah make us among
those
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:15
			wama and Allah keeps reminding us,
wama, tunfi, omin Hai Rin and
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:20
			whatever he spent in good for in
Allah habihi, a name Allah knows
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:25
			it well. Allah knows it well.
Don't shy away. Be courageous.
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:29
			Give sadaqah, give Allah. Allah
knows about this. This will help
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:33
			you. On the Day of Judgment, then
Allah, Subhanahu wa says Allah
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:38
			dini unfiron, AMWA ala hum bi lady
wa Nahar, as for those that spend
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:45
			their wealth, be laly at night,
one nahari And during the day,
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:50
			Syrian run in secret, WA Allah
neoten and in public, fellow whom
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:55
			a jerum in the rabbi him, they
will have their reward with Allah
		
00:30:55 --> 00:30:56
			subhanho, wa taala,
		
00:30:57 --> 00:31:02
			wala hoffen alehim. There will be
no fear for them. Wala hum, Yan,
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:05
			nor shall they ever grieve. They
will not be fearful of what's
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:08
			coming in the future. On Day of
Judgment, they will not be
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:12
			fearful. Why? Because they have
done so much sadaqah that they
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:14
			will enjoy that shayt.
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:19
			They will be forgiven. Their sins
will be extinguished. Nothing to
		
00:31:19 --> 00:31:22
			fear. Wala hum, yachtun, and they
will not feel sadness, sorrow or
		
00:31:22 --> 00:31:25
			grief on what's past, because
Allah forgives their past sins.
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:28
			This is the beauty of salad.
Allah, the Ulama, mentions
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:31
			something very nice here, and we
conclude here tonight,
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:38
			those who spend their wealth in
Allah's Cause by night and by day.
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:42
			Which one did Allah mention first?
Neither day by night be lady on
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:43
			why?
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:45
			Which one tends to be more hidden
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:53
			than night, sir, in secret or in
public? Which first secret meaning
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:53
			what?
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:59
			The more your charity is shrouded
in secrecy, the better. But if you
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:02
			give publicly with the conditions
we met, there's nothing wrong with
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:05
			nothing wrong with that as well.
Follow him. A jerum, they will
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:07
			have their Lord reward with their
Lord,
		
00:32:08 --> 00:32:11
			wala hopeful Ali him, there shall
be no fear upon them. Wala yasuna,
		
00:32:11 --> 00:32:14
			and they will not grieve. We'll
stop here inshallah to Allah. Next
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:18
			week, we'll discuss the Ayatollah
to Riba and the ayah related to
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:21
			debt. And then the week after
that, inshallah to Allah will
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:22
			finish the surah.
