So Yahya ibn Khalid Abarmakih
and his family
in the Baba Amica dynasty,
they
exercised
authority at the time of Harun al Rashid.
They were in the highest positions in the
country. They were ministers, educators, and so on
and so forth. And for some reason,
Harun al Rashid got mad at them and
he threw them in jail.
So one day, Yahyan al Bar Makin and
his son, they were sitting in the cell
in the prison.
So his son was telling him, father,
after the palaces and the silver and the
gold
and and all that stuff. Now we are
in prison. What happened?
So his father told him, son, listen.
Maybe we did someone wrong
when we're we were empowered,
and he prayed, he made du'aqa Allah
against us. So we didn't we didn't know
about the prayer, but Allah
was not asleep.
Allah's doors are always open. Allah
So don't be unjust to the people. If
you are in authority,
if you are in a position,
don't abuse the people because if you are
powerful,
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is more powerful than
you are.
Allah is more powerful than you are.
So there are 2 types of injustice.
Some people are unjust to themselves by doing
the Haram.
They deprive themselves of the reward of the
good deed.
They don't pray. They don't fast.
They don't give me charity. They don't give
zakat. So they deprive
themselves of the reward.
Also, some people, they are unjust to themselves.
They have a good relationship with Allah
They are the best when it comes to
salah.
They make it to the Jairus book of
records when it comes to the salah.
They are the best when it comes to
fasting
and Hajj and so on and so forth.
But when it comes to their relationship with
the people,
they are in the basement, the basement of
the basement.
And the prophet says in the Hadith, we
mentioned several days ago about the the broke,
the people who are broke. They will come
on the day of judgement with prayers, fasting,
charity, Hajj, everything,
But they lose their word because they stole
from this, they insulted this, they killed this,
they did this and this. They lose their
word.
So these are the people who are unjust
to themselves.
So someone can be unjust to others
by forcing harm on them or depriving them
from good.
Tama'
stealing from them, cussing at them, backbiting them.
So this is being unjust to people.
And it's even worse if you are in
a position of authority like some leaders, they
abuse people and they abuse authority.
On the day of judgment they will come
and Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will ask them,
someone
was thrown in jail for nothing. What did
you do about it?
Someone died in the hospital because he had
no one to give him medical attention.
Why?
Someone lost his money
because he had no one to defend him.
Why?
So everyone, a big question about this on
the day of judgment. Wakabaqal and Nabi Musa
Salaam, kayna Hazaflunu Hasratan Warazam. Leadership,
So Al Jahid was walking one day in
the market, so he heard this teacher
teaching this guy in a wrong way. He
is confusing 3 surahs at the same time.
So Jadha said, what's wrong with you? Why
are you confusing the surahs? You are teaching
him wrong. He said his father
is not paying me any money. He says,
I will pay you, but he doesn't pay
me anything. So I'm not teaching him anything.
I'm not taking anything from his father. Okay.
We'll go we'll keep it that way. So
he is unjust to the boy and he
is unjust to himself.
A question for last night, if someone forgot
to recite a short surah after Fatiha in
the salah in the second or first rakah,
they don't have to make sujood as salfa
at the end. Fatiha is an obligation in
the salah, but the short surah after is
not. So if you forget it, you don't
have to make sujoodi saba at the end.
And, the winner for today is sister Eret
Ahmed. Is there anyone to take their word
on her behalf?
Sister
The question for today, someone is mad at
his wife,
and he said he said, if you go
to your mom's house today for a start,
then I will divorce you. So she went,
she said, don't worry about it. She went
to her mom's and she sent him a
postcard with these words, hasta la vista, baby.
That is goodbye in Spanish.
Do we have a divorce in this case
or not? If you know the answer, email
me before tomorrow, asin@[email protected].
