And you can't make up for anything,
that you did in the past. You still
can make up. You have the time. 1
week is is a good time to come
back, to turn to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
and to make up for anything that you
did in the past.
So today's means to get it closer to
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is patience.
Sub.
Patience.
Not only does sub gets you close to
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, but it also gives
you the love of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will always be
you with you with his support
and assistance.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the Quran
that indeed
Allah loves those who are patient
and Allah is with those who are patient.
So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will always be
you with you and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
will love you if you are patient.
So the scholars classify patients into 3 groups.
So the first one is patience at difficult
times.
The second type is patience,
not to do something evil. And number 3,
patience in doing the good.
So the first one,
the patience at difficult times. And we all
know this one.
So for example, if you lose a beloved
one,
if you lose your job,
if your cat dies,
all these things, they are difficult times and
hardships for some people.
So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says that give
blood tiding to those who when afflicted with
the hardship,
they say to Allah, we belong and to
Him we shall all return. For them
is the grace and the mercy of Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and they are the ones
who are truly guided.
These three rewards given in this ad are
never given to anyone else in the
The second type of patience
is patience in not doing something evil.
If you look at the story of Yusuf
Alaihi Salam chapter 12 in the Quran, when
the wife of the the Al Aziz of
Egypt, she was making all the moves, try
to get him to commit adultery with her,
and he said no.
He was he could do it, but he
said, I wouldn't do it because he was
afraid of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And this
is the second type. If you get the
chance to do something wrong, but you stop
because of the fear of Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala, then this is another type of patience.
In
Nur
So this the third type of patience is
patience in doing Ibadat
like praying Fajr for example or giving your
charity or salatah and so on and so
forth. So in the winter the shaitan will
come to you
and this is a shaitan with a master's
degree.
He always quotes the Quran and Hadith to
stop you from doing good. So if you
wanna pray fast in the masjid in the
winter, He will tell you, oh, come on,
man. Come on. It's very cold outside. You
will die. And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says
says in the Quran, don't let your hands
contribute to your own destruction. If you go
outside, you will die. There's no question about
this. They said it in the forecast last
night.
Yeah. There's no question.
Okay.
And if you manage to go outside
outside,
then your your car will be stuck in
the snow and you would die, you will
freeze to death.
Okay? Okay. I'm not gonna pray a fast
in the winter.
In the summer, the same shaitan will come
to you and tell you, okay, come on
man,
You slept like 15 minutes last night. The
night is very short. And the prophet, salaam,
says in the authentic hadith, and he will
give you the chain of narrations
that,
your body has a right on you.
Didn't the prophet, sasai, said this? You don't
believe the prophet? Come on, man. Get some
come on. Get some rest. Okay. So you
don't pray for us in the winter, you
don't pray for us in the summer. Okay.
For Zakai, the same shaitan will come to
you and say,
If you give Zakah, your kids will be
homeless.
You you will not be able to pay
your bills. Okay? You'll be in the streets.
The Shaitan
will always scare you of poverty. If you
give Fisabilillah,
then the shaitan will tell you, you will
be homeless. You will not find you will
not be able to put food in the
table.
So this story is about the Shaitan himself.
This old man who was blind, he was
very close to the masjid,
and he was on the way to the
masjid one day, so he stumbled in one
of the holes that we had back home.
Okay?
So he cut himself, he doesn't want, he
changed his clothes,
he, put a bandage on, when he's cut,
then he made the they went to the
masjid, and he fell another time. He stumbled
on a rock.
Then he went home, he changed his clothes,
he put a bandage on the cut, he
made Bulu, and on the way to the
Masjid, he was about to fall. Then all
of a sudden, this man,
Iblis, when Shaitan came in the form of
of of a man
out of nowhere, and he took his hands
and he took him all the way to
the Masjid.
So when they went there, the man the
old man told the Shaitan, okay, why don't
you come and pray with us? He said,
I don't pray. Why? Because I'm Shaitan. I
don't pray. Okay? So he said, why did
you do this? Why did you walk me
all the way to the Masjid? He said,
the first time when you fell down, I
was afraid. I was terrified that Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala will forgive all your past sins
because you you you, you stood up and
you wanted to go and pray. You were
patient.
The second time when you filled out, I
was scared that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will
forgive your entire family. The third time when
you were about to fall down, I was
terrified that Allah will forgive all the the
whole town because of your deed.
And
I work
overtime, all you blow and you come for
a small deal like this, and Allah will
forgive you. Come on, man. Come on.
Al Aswad will answer the question was, can
someone can a man give zakat to his
poor mother, Huskinah? And the answer is no.
For a man, there are certain people that
he is not allowed to give zakat to.
That is his wife, his children, his father,
and his mother.
The man has to provide for these people
even if he is poor. You don't give
them Zakat. This is the right on you.
You don't give them Zakat. You give them
you provide for them.
So I'll go.
Okay. The winner for yesterday is brother Yusuf
Sharif. Where is he?
It's all in the face.
Uh-huh.
It's got a too hard in South Africa.
I know you. He sent me the,
answer in an email. He sent the commasheb.
Wallahi, he put a note on my door
in my house.
Has orphans,
her husband died, and she has an amount
of money that she should give the the
Zakah out. She should she give the Zakah
out, or should she keep the money for
the little orphans? If you know the answer,
you may have me before tomorrow. Asa at
CIC, imanajun, will come to Zechul Mulkar.
