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
