2:30, inshaAllah, has a legislation built.
So 2 days ago when I was giving
the footba in the second half, I spoke
about Muhammad Sahaba
who went with his brother to propose to
a lady for his sister. And I said
that was Abu Dard,
but actually it was Bilal, so that was
a mistake. So please forgive me.
So
one day saw,
a fox
urinating on
the big idols they used to worship before
Islam.
Islam. So I started to wonder if if
this is a if this is a God,
why didn't he defend himself?
And if he's not able to help or,
you know, protect himself, how come that we
come to him for protection?
Doesn't make any sense.
And then he started to ask and inquire
about Islam and eventually he accepted Islam.
I'm talking about the change that Islam wrote
to the lives of the Sahaba.
If you look at the lives of Muhammad
Shabd before Islam and after Islam, it changed
life.
180
degrees.
Completely,
he was so arrogant before Islam, reckless, careless
to the point that
they said that Omar Khattab will accept Islam
if his father's donkey accepted Islam
because he was so far away from Islam
and nobody ever believed that this this guy,
this person would ever become Muslim.
Next thing in the story, he became Muslim.
And so, kamala, today, you look at some
people in this site,
none Muslims, and
you say, you think, kamala, these people live
they are doing this and this and this.
Somebody like this would never accept Islam. The
next day, you come to the masjid to
take Shahab.
And sometimes,
you work with someone or you start with
them
or you know them and, imagine why they
are very decent people, non Muslims. They are
very sincere, they are very
Muhammad
Ali. He never accepted Islam.
And of course, the change in the life
of Abu Luh. He was a highway robber
before Islam, so was his family.
Bunch of thieves before Islam. But after Islam,
as they accepted Islam with him, they changed
completely.
They became righteous,
people
and so on and so forth.
To ask about Islam.
So he meant
on the way people like Bill O'Reilly, Sean
Hannity, and Gwynnebeck, and all the guys who
work for Fast News.
So they told him that, you know, this
guy, this person, Mohammed, is a liar, and
he is a magician, and he is this
and this. So
he went back to his brother, and he
reported to him
what Fox News told him.
So Abu Dhanat
when he heard about what Islam teaches, he
accepted Islam.
The prophet
taught him the knowledge that I gave you.
Keep it for yourself for now because we
are very few in the Quran. Islam is,
you know, it's still at the beginning.
So keep it for yourself for now.
Okay. He didn't listen to the advice.
Okay?
He went outside
the building and he started to make shahadul
now bear with this
The people came to him.
The people of Makkad were, you know, a
very aggressive in Islam at this point in
the story of Islam, and they beat the
the hikal until
he was very close to death.
So
and Abbas, the uncle of the prophet
came to him for his protection, and he
said, you know, this person is from the
tribe of Dushal.
Your caravans, your business
passes by them,
you know, back and forth, back and forth.
And you know these guys are thieves.
If they know that you killed 1 of
them, inshallah, you will never be able to
come for business on this road. You have
to find another place. So they left him.
Accepted Islam because of his dawd calling to
Islam, and another neighbor of the tribe half
of the tribe accepted Islam when they came
to the province of
The prophet
said that the earth has never carried
and the sky has never covered anyone better
than Abu Gal.
And this is a great testimony by the
prophet
prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, and the prophet
So Bilal, the other one who reported this
story to the prophet
so the prophet
didn't issue a judgment right away.
He said Hashayat Hamdah didn't insult him by
his mother.
He's asking about he didn't
jump to conclusions or to make judgments.
And the first thing we will learn from
this is if someone reports something to you,
if you are a judge or in a
position of authority, you you should not judge
to someone
before listening
to the other person.
So
the prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam listened to
Abu Dharm,
and we learned that we should listen to
the other person in a conflict before you
make a judgment.
And Arun al Khattab, radiAllahu alaihi wa sallamahu,
if someone
comes to you
with a wound with his eye
and he's complaining that this was done to
you by another person, don't judge for him
and listen to the app until you listen
to the other person because maybe he lost
both of his eyes, the other person. So
don't rush to judgement.
So Abu Bakr
said yes, prophet Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. I
assaulted him by his mother. So the prophet
Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, you have some
remnants
of jealousy
or pre Islamic habits in your heart.
So Abu Bakr
was moved by the words of the prophet,
he felt very bad.
So he put his hip on the ground
and, you know, being nice and gentle, he
said, I will give you fisameel for the
sake of Allah
Then the prophet
spoke to Abu Dharm
and he said, these servants you have
are your brothers in humanity and Islam.
If Allah
gives you someone to serve you,
whether it's a servant,
a wife, a husband,
and so on and so forth, you should
be respectful
of them.
Give them what you eat and clothe them
from the same clothes you wear. And
don't give them something to do more than
they can bear, something beyond their ability and
capacities.
But if you entitle them to do something
more than they can bear, they
whether
it's a carpenter
or a plumb
or whether it's an imam and a hashed
to serve the people
or whether it's
a governor of the state,
whether it's a doctor or attorney.
We here in this life to serve one
another.
So in actual, people are servants of one
another. A husband is the servant of his
wife. A wife is the servant of her
husband, and so on and so forth. We
are here to serve and not to look
down upon one another.
Number 2, and we conclude with this story
is,
When you do something more
and people correct you in a nice way,
you shouldn't be arrogant
and you should listen and obey.
The truth should be false regardless of your
position in the society and regardless of all
the PhD degrees you got, regardless of all
the bank accounts you have, regardless of all
the fancy cards you have. You should follow
the truth
even if it is given to you by
a little kid or a poor person.
Sahid,
the the truth has no race or color.
An old man might say something in his
room and he is corrected by a young
person
and the person, because of something in his
heart,
will tell the young man, who are you?
You are wrong. You shouldn't say this because
of your age.
Your position in the society,
regardless of your wealth, and so on and
so forth.
You have to stand by the truth. And
in this story, we say, Abu Dhabi Allahu
Anhu
asking for the forgiveness of Bilal Abu al
Anhu who was a slave. Bilal was a
slave before Islam and Abu Bakr freed him.
Bilal was a slave before Islam and Abu
Bakr
had freed
him. But Abu Bakr didn't have the arrogance
in his heart to go to Bilal and
apologize
for the mistake he did. And we should
follow
his example
in returning to the truth and asking for
people's forgiveness to do something wrong.
Inshallah, we'll continue next time with the story
of Bilal de la Huynh and we'll open
the floor for you, the audience,
to tell us what they learned from the
story Bilawatullah.
And maybe each other will find
a wild spike where we can also listen
to the sisters if they have something to
say about the story.
