So a very
quick check
to see if you have
a tough heart
or you have
a sensitive
sound and living part.
If you are one of those
dudes
who stand in the salah and the imam
is reciting very emotional a'ez and everybody in
the land is crying and there is a
pool of water,
tears
under the people, and you are standing and
looking at the fans. Look how nice they
are, like you don't care.
Or you are sitting in a lecture and
the Sheikh is killing himself,
talking about the death of the Prophet salallahu
alayhi wasalam or any emotional topic, and you
are sitting there digging in your nose
like, what is going on man?
Or you go to the grave
and you see the the people, they are
bearing the dead
and you are standing to the side smoking
weed
and cracking jokes with the people.
Come on man, Shua'ala. Or you hear about
the suffering of your of your brothers and
sisters
in Somalia,
and you don't even make dua'a for them.
Or you see the suffering and the killing
and the torture of your brothers and sisters
in Syria, in Libya, in Yemen
and elsewhere,
and you don't care about them.
If you are one of these guys, you
have a tough part. You should do something
about this.
Some of the people, as we mentioned last
night, they might not be practicing,
but they have a soft heart. All they
need is a little push.
They need a sincere advice. That's all it
takes.
So the word
heart,
in Arabic is derived from the word
which is to change,
to flip.
And in the Hadith hadith in the
And in the hadith,
hadith in the Biyushalayhi wa sallam,
the prophet says in the authentic hadith that
the hearts of the people are between two
fingers of Allah, and he flips them. He
changed them any way he wants.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala works in mysterious ways.
Some people go to guidance
and some other people's guidance
comes to them,
but they have it in part.
So the man for today is Khudayim ibn
Aiyal, and his story is also mentioned in
the book
of Ibn Nufudah Tawwabe the Repenters,
just like the story we mentioned last night
of Abu Hanabi. He was a thief, very
infamous,
very brutal, ruthless.
And the people were so scared of him,
So much so that if a mother wants
to put her son to sleep at night
and he's not willing to, she will say,
you sleep or otherwise I will get al
Quday to eat you. So the guy would
fall asleep.
So one night he wanted to climb over
a wall to stream from the house,
and in that house there was an old
man who sat in Quran and he was
silent this verse from Surat Al Khadeem the
Ayar verse 16 and the ayah says, isn't
it time
for the hearts of the believers to be
humble to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and to
take heed and to reflect
on the verses of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
the truth.
He said, oh, Allah, now is the time.
He said that the verse hit him in
the heart like a bullet.
He froze in his place and he went
home.
So he went back home, he made tawba
to Allah
and he committed his whole life to worship
in the sacred masjid in Makkah in Madinah
until he was called the dedicated man to
the service for the worship in Makkah in
Madinah in the
So one time, a person asked him, Masha'Allah,
why are you so righteous and
you are so bad and what happened to
you? He said, wallahi, one day I was
walking in the street, I see a page
from the Quran thrown on the ground and
people stepping over it, by mistake.
So I took it
and I kept it with me, he went
to the store, he bought some perfume,
he put it put put the perfume on
it and he put it in a hole
in the wall so people don't walk with
it. He heard a call from a bag
that says, Wallahi by Allah we will honor
you in the same way you honor the
name of Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala.
After his death, he came to someone in
his dream. So this guy asked him, Ofulahi,
what happened to you? He said, Bawmali, Allah
has forgiven me. And he said, why? He
said, because a few rak'ahs I used to
pray at night.
This is the only thing. Just like we
pray today in Taraweeh, this is what we
do and this is the thing that took
him to Jannah.
And the question for last night was, if
someone is holding the cup like this and
the Adan has paid for Hajj, what what
should he do? Can he drink?
And brother
Abdul Rahman, Abu said, Yes, we can.
Yes, we can drink. Where's Abdul Rahman?
Come,
mashallah.
And because a young brother won yesterday,
almost all the people who emailed me yesterday
and today are young brothers and sisters.
Okay. A question for today, very quickly.
Someone
decides
to break his path for no valid excuse.
He went home to eat something. He couldn't
find anything, absolutely nothing to eat or drink.
Is his fasting still valid?
