00:01:21 --> 00:01:22
			So if you want to be successful in
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			this dunya,
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25
			if you want to get the best out
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			of Ramadan, then you have to follow the
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			example of the prophet
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:30
			So we ask Allah
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:33
			to give us life and the strength to
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			reach the month for our Allah and to
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			be able to fast during the day and
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			to stand at night in salah to accept
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			all our good deeds.
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			The question is before we talk about the
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			sahaba,
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46
			how can we have to go with him
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			that like the sahaba?
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:33
			If you are able to be today better
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:33
			than yesterday
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			and to be better tomorrow and today, don't
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			hesitate. You have to do a dry light.
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			So this is what we aim by our
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			Lord Himmel. You always try to improve. You
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:45
			always try to be better than yesterday.
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			And I always give the example of school
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			students. If you have a school student
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			who stays in,
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:54
			grade 3 for 5 years.
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			I mean,
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:59
			there's nothing good about them. 5 years in
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			grade 3?
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			And this is what we mean by our
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:16
			own opinion.
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:19
			So, again, is there anyone here among us
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21
			who's there or good like the sahab? And
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			what can we do to be good like
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			them?
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:26
			1st, we have to agree
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			that the Sahaba were the greatest among the
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:30
			Muslims.
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:38
			The prophet
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:40
			says it very clearly
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tells us in
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			the Quran, the reason why the Sahar Allah
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:04
			subhanahu wa'ala
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39
			So, do you want to compare someone
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			who spends his whole life
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:44
			in front of Allah's book, Islam's book, like
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			the one who spends his whole life who's
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:47
			not his book?
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:49
			I mean, they're not the same.
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:53
			So these are the reasons why Abbasid Khan
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			says in the Quran that he is pleased
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:56
			with the Sahaba, and we are pleased with
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			him, and he has given judgment. So collectively,
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			the Sahaba are better than anyone else,
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:04
			who will come after them.
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			So this is the short answer that no.
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:10
			Nobody is similar to the Sahaba in their
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:13
			fault, in their favor, in anything related to
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			them, in their business. So this is the
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:18
			short answer. The long answer is maybe. Why
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			not?
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			The Sahaba are classified into 2 groups.
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			Is Sahaba and Ga'am is Sahaba.
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			So the Sahaba are of 2 types. There
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:31
			are the prominent Sahaba, then there's the average
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:34
			Sahaba. So the prominent Sa'a, no one can
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:35
			be like
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:36
			them. So
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:37
			for example,
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			when you talk about Adir Banks,
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:41
			Khadija
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:28
			Even
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			even Ahmed Al Sahaba
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:33
			who didn't witness Badr. Nobody is like the
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			people of Badr. Even Ahmed Al Sahaba who
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			were there with the Bilasas in them, but
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			they didn't go to Badr. The people of
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			Bad were the best and they were defilements.
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44
			Even among the sahab and the bomb on.
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:46
			Then, the people
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:50
			of Benfir Alaihi, they agreed. They are among
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:53
			among the best and the finest sahab of
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			Gurus Hasid. So these are the prominent sahab
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			that nobody can be like them. Sorry
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			to break your heart. They are the finest,
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:01
			they are the best, nobody can be like
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03
			them. But the alan salah,
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:07
			yes, there are some among us who sacrifice
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:08
			to do good things,
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:11
			those who really raise their children in this
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			time of difficulty and challenges,
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			and you raise them as good Muslims, those
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:18
			who work hard to provide for their families,
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			and they stay away from the Awa. Although
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			Hawa is very easy,
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:25
			and those who are patient in difficult times,
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:26
			those who sacrifice their money, they give Islam
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:26
			to people in Ramadan, those who sacrifice their
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:27
			time in
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10
			many of them are here today. They accepted
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:13
			without seeing the prophet and they believe in
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:14
			him. And this is why the prophet
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:16
			called us Ahibal
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:19
			in the Ahliyih. Then, he loves us because
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			we believe in him without seeing him.
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:24
			Okay. So, of course, in this we're also
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:26
			good. We believe in the prophet
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:29
			seeing him, we have never seen his miracles,
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:31
			alaydulillah, and
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34
			we have not experienced his generosity.
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:36
			So I'm gonna give you a few examples.
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:40
			So for example, some of the sahabi accepted
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:43
			Islam when they saw the prophet performing
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:46
			miracles. And the prophet did miracles more than
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:49
			that, like Musa, alayhis sala, and the other
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			prophets. Like, this * moon.
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:54
			We were not there when the broths when
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:56
			the moon was placed for the prophet.
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:59
			So we believed in him without seeing all
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:00
			the instruments.
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:04
			Some of the saha accepted Islam just because
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:06
			they saw the prophet in front of him.
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:16
			That when the prophet came as an immigrant
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:17
			to Maninah,
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:20
			every single person in the city went out
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:21
			to receive the prophet.
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:24
			So I went out with them. Then I
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:25
			pushed my way through the crowd to take
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:25
			a look at the prophet. And so when
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:25
			I looked as it's bright,
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:29
			Crozat and then so when I looked at
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:32
			its bright face, I knew when I first
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34
			climbed my eyes were hid that that was
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:36
			not the face of Allah.
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:39
			Prophet Muzrat was living all over his face.
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:40
			So at that moment,
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:43
			Islam was put in my heart. And the
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:45
			first thing I heard from the prophet the
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:48
			first hadith I heard the prophet
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:50
			say was, O people,
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:51
			feed the poor
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:54
			and give salaam to everyone,
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:57
			and stay at night with salah, and honor
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:59
			your family ties, and
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:02
			Allah Subhanahu wa'ala will give you gentile peace.
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:04
			So this is the first thing you heard
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:05
			from the pro of Saseem.
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:08
			We have not seen the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi.
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:11
			The description of him and his qualities are
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:12
			given in the Quran
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:15
			and also in the sunnah. Of course, in
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:17
			the sunnah, the way the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:20
			wa Salam look, his face, his physical characteristics,
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:23
			his qualities, but we have not seen the
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:24
			prophet in person.
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:27
			So he ascended in him without even seeing
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:28
			him.
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:29
			Also,
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:32
			some of the sahaba accepted Islam because they
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:33
			experienced
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:58
			So eventually, Umayyad accepted Islam. Several years later,
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:00
			the prophet Sasa then forward some shields from
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:03
			Safwan to go for the battle of Khunayil.
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:05
			So, he went with the prophet Sasa and
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:07
			he went to Abu him. He said, let
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:08
			me go. I was gonna check out what
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:08
			happens.
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:11
			So, half of the battle, when they took
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:13
			this quarters of war and went to that
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:16
			valley full of goats and sheep and camels
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:16
			and everything.
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:20
			He was like 100 or 1000 of them.
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:21
			So, Shafla
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:24
			sought to stare at these animals and the
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:25
			prophet
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:27
			noticed that he was looking at them and
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:29
			he was staring at them. So, the prophet
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:30
			said, he
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:33
			was gathered at the time. Do you like
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:36
			this valley and everything in it? So, I
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:37
			said, yeah. It looks nice. I like it.
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:38
			So, the
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:39
			prophet
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:40
			and
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:43
			he
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:46
			accepted
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:53
			Islam and he And he used to say,
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:54
			after he shahad,
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:56
			when I went out to Muhammad, as a
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:58
			as a for the bell of Kannayi,
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:00
			no one
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:03
			I hated no one in this world more
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:05
			than him. But when he gave me, he
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:07
			was generous with me. Now, I don't want
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:10
			anyone more than him. Have you ever received
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:12
			or received a mail or a check-in the
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:14
			mail from Rasool As Salazar? Of course not.
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:16
			Have you experienced financial
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:19
			generosity just like he did with Zohu As
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:22
			Salazar? Of course not. So we love him
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:24
			without seeing him. And the soul of Allah
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:25
			and
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:20
			it is good. So there's always goodness about
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:22
			about Muslims, no matter where they are. There's
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:24
			goodness in every one of us. And as
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:26
			I said, there are some of us and
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:29
			many of us who sacrifice their time and
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:31
			their money to help the Muslim community,
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:34
			and those who are sincere, and those who
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:35
			pray, and those who fast.
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:38
			I've seen a lot of Muslims, they're they
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:39
			hit old,
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:42
			and they still want to fast in Ramadan.
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:44
			They have physical conditions, and they come to
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:44
			me crying.
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:14
			So this is the question regarding, is there
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:16
			anyone among us who is good like the
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:19
			Sahar? And he said, yes, inshallah, there's goodness
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:21
			about us, and this should raise our mua'a
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:22
			to the sky.
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:25
			So So the second question is how can
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:28
			we be how can we follow the example
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:30
			of the Sahaba al Anil Amun? How can
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			we have Aruba and Himba like him? How
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:34
			can we walk in their footsteps?
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:37
			Basically, there are 3 things. If you do
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:39
			that, inshallah, you will be good like a
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:41
			sahab. You will have you will get
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:44
			the best of this life, and you will
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:45
			get the best out of a month of
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:48
			Ramadan. If you don't know what these 3
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:50
			days are in the afternoon to be like
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:52
			a sahabah, you have to come next
