So today, inshaAllah, the means
of bringing you closer to Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala
is to to be quiet,
to control your tongue,
as we will say in some of the
hadith of the prophet
Sometimes we do the good deeds,
but we lose
most of the rewards because of our tongues,
as the prophet says in the hadith.
And have you concerned
why you have 2 ears and 2 lips
at only one tongue?
To listen
twice as much as you speak. And if
you look at the mouth,
at the tongue, it is guarded by 2
lips and how many teeth?
And this is the only sense out of
the 5 senses that it guarded heavily
in that way.
The eyes don't guard it in that way.
The ears, the nose,
only the tongue. And this is a warning.
This is a reminder to all of us
to control your tongue, to watch your mouth.
Allah. The Prophet was telling us in the
authentic hadith that whoever believes in Allah on
the final day, let him or her say
good or to be quiet. Otherwise, we'll be
losing
So as we said, in this authentic hadith
narrated
by Mu'ad ibn Jalal Abuhambu,
that most of the people that the thing
the only one thing
that takes people to the hibar, 1st class,
is their tongues.
So Mu'an radiAllahu anhu came to the prophet
and said, oh, prophet Allah, tell me about
something that will take me to Jannah and
keep me away from the hibar. So the
prophet told
him about different things. Salatah, salah,
charity,
sayyam, and all these,
righteous acts.
Then at the end of the hadith, the
prophet
told him, shall I tell you about the
fountain
of all goodness?
The thing that combines all the good things
that I mentioned?
Then the lord
said, control your time. What's your time? So
Muhammad said, oh, prophet of Allah, are we
held accountable on the day of judgment
for what we say?
Then the prophet was surprised and he said,
may your mother be
briefed of you.
Does anything take people or make people fall
on their noses or faces in the Himfaq
more than
their tongues. The prophet was surprised that Mu'adullah
was was asking.
So according to the hadith of the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, the tongue is the
one thing that takes many people to the
Hilfar Al Aya al Bala.
So some people don't care about or don't
give way through the words.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala created the heavens and
earth with one word.
B and it is. Just one word. B.
When you give birth to a lady,
you marry with one word. I do.
When you divorce, you divorce with one word.
I don't.
And you enter into Islam by saying a
word. I accept
Islam.
And some people, when they had to be
left, they get out of Islam because of
one word.
When the way you saw us at the
may say a word and this person is
not even paying attention, and this word will
make him or her fall in the hellfire
for 70 years.
So many homes are destroyed because of one
word.
Many people are killed because of one word.
So be careful.
They law enforce people.
They are aware of this precious gift, silence.
And when they come to, to,
stop someone or arrest someone, they remind you
of this precious gift.
You have the right to remain silent.
Everything you say will be taken against you
in the court of law. And you keep
talking, wallahi, I didn't mean to kill my
wife. I'm just kidding with her, and she
left.
Keep your nose shut, man.
Speaking of husbands and wives and the time,
I'll conclude with this, story. Many of you
probably heard this story from me before.
So
I'm gonna say the story very briefly in
English.
You probably heard it several times
40 years
ago, when we first got married, we decided
to go to the the top of the
mountain, the peak of the mountain for honeymoon.
We couldn't take the car because the road
was so steep, so I took a donkey.
My wife took a donkey. We put all
the luggage on the back of the donkeys.
On the way, because the road was so
steep, the load was heavy. My wife's donkey
didn't move. So she started to yell like,
guss and howling and pull and push everything.
The donkey didn't move.
She got so mad. She said, okay. 1.
After 200, it did the same thing. She
started to howl, scream, shout, toss, everything. It
didn't move. She said, okay. That's it. 2.
After 300, it did the same thing. It
wouldn't move. She started pulling it, pushing it,
every everything. It didn't move. She
pulling it, pushing it, every everything. It didn't
move. She said, that's it. 3. She got
a gun out of her pocket. She shot
the donkey dead.
The hospital was so mad. What is going
on here? Why did you kill the poor
thing? She said, keep your mouth shut.
He said, I'm not keeping the mouth shut.
Do you expect me to carry the luggage
in in in place of the donkey? She
said, be quiet.
He said, what did the dog
why did you kill him? He didn't do
nothing. The poor thing, it didn't
she said,
be quiet. So he came to passing an
army with him. She said, that's it. 1.
He said,
I keep my mouth shut
for 40 years, and this is the secret
of happiness.
So I hope that all of the brothers
here will learn from the lesson. Okay?
Question very quickly. A sister is pregnant in
the 2nd month of pregnancy,
and for some reason, she has an abortion
or a miscarriage,
in the 2nd month of pregnancy, and this
happens in the month of Ramadan.
Does she,
can can she fast right away, or does
she have to wait till the end of
the bleeding? If you know the answer, it
may be before tomorrow.
