00:00:06 --> 00:00:06
			Pray.
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			Because he feels like he is the outcast
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:10
			of the sight.
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:12
			He is isolated.
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			So why should he do anything? Nobody loves
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:17
			him. But if you approach him in a
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:18
			nice way,
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			try to show him that Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			Ta'ala is Merciful, and you can do better,
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			and you do it this way or this
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			way, He will accept from you.
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			In another hadith,
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			one of the companions whose name was Abu
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:37
			Allah, as reported by Imam Abu Khayy, was
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			brought to the crowd
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			again for drinking.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			And he was left.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			One of the companions said, Laanaullah,
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:46
			fakathiramayutabi.
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			May Allah curse him
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			every time they bring him to be disciplined
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			or punished. So the Prophet
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54
			said,
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:02
			Don't curse him because I know for sure
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			that he loves Allah and loves this messenger.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			So don't curse him.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			Number 3,
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:10
			being kind to them.
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			Show them kindness.
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			The person who is not practicing
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:19
			is like some person who is has,
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			some kind of sickness.
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:24
			And he deserves your pithi, and he deserves
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:24
			your kindness.
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27
			Allah
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:31
			when he is telling Musa and Harun, Moses
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			and Aaron, in the Quran to go to
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			speak to Firaun,
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			the pharaoh.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			The same person who says, Analu Abu'lal,
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			I'm your Lord the Most High.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			The same person who said Ma'alim tu lakumilillainuay.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			I don't know of any other Gods for
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48
			you except myself.
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:50
			So
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			Allah is telling Musa and Harun to go
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			to speak to him,
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:01
			Go and say a nice and kind word
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:01
			to him.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:05
			Maybe he will remember Allah or fear
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			the presence of his Lord.
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:11
			A nice and kind word. And this guy
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			is claiming to be a God.
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			So imagine.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			Number 4.
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			Not to expose them.
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			To disgrace them in public, and to speak
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			about them.
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			Sayyida Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her.
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			She said, whenever
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:33
			someone did something wrong, a particular person
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:34
			did something
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			wrong. And it was brought to the attention
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:39
			of the Prophet
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			He would talk to the congregation
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			and tell them he wouldn't say,
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:47
			why did this particular person did so and
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:47
			so?
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:49
			He would say,
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56
			Why some people do this and this? And
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:56
			he never
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:59
			names the person. He never gives his name
		
00:02:59 --> 00:02:59
			in public.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:01
			But he would talk collectively
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			about some people, so he would teach
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:05
			the people,
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			and the person
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:10
			in question also will be included among the
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:10
			people.
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			Number 5. Giving the people advice
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:22
			in secret. Because advising some somebody publicly is
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			a sword of disgrace.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:28
			You will hurt the brothers or the sisters
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:29
			feelings if you talk to them
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			pride, but not public.
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			Umu Darda, one of the companions of the
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:41
			prophet
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:42
			said,
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52
			Whoever gives advice to his brother
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:53
			in secret,
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:56
			he's honoring him. You honor your brother. But
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			if you talk to him publicly,
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			this is a sort of disgrace, humiliate
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:04
			him. And again, you expect him to listen
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			from you after you disgrace him,
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:09
			alarus al Hashem, in front of all the
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:09
			people.
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:12
			Number 6.
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			If something bad happens to him, and he
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:16
			is not practicing,
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			don't feel happy in your heart
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			that he is having a miserable life, or
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:22
			he's having a misfortunate
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			situation. Shamata in her.
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:28
			Imam al Khortobi
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			radhiallahu anhu says,
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			And this is reported by Imam Turmili, and
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			they said this is a good hadith.
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:49
			The prophet
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:53
			says, when something bad happens to your brother,
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:56
			don't feel happy in your heart because maybe
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will remove it from
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:01
			your brother and give it to you.
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:07
			Number 7, and this is very common.
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:10
			When you see someone who is not practicing,
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:14
			someone who is not praying properly, or fasting
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:14
			properly,
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			you look down upon him,
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20
			or you make fun of him.
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24
			You make fun of him. And this is
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:24
			not acceptable.
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			Ibn Affa, a secondari, one of the great
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:29
			scholars,
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:30
			used to
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:43
			say, So this is very deep. He said,
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:46
			maybe if someone does something wrong,
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			this will make him regret
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:52
			and feel bad in his heart, so he
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:53
			will make tawbatullah.
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:57
			This person would be much better than someone
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59
			who is doing something good,
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:02
			then he feels in his heart like he's
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:03
			doing something big.
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:05
			He will stop doing good,
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:07
			and he will be proud,
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:11
			arrogant because of the good deeds he's doing.
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			So in the sight of Allah,
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15
			the first person is good.
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:19
			So not every evil thing that happens is
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:22
			bad. It might lead to some good things.
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			And not everything that good that happens
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27
			is good because it might lead to something
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:29
			wrong. We ask Allah
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:31
			to forgive our sins and to accept our
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			good deeds, and to give us the best
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:34
			in this life and the best in the
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			life to come. Ask Allah to listen.
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			When you see your brother
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:14
			doing something evil,
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:18
			don't help the shaitan or the devil against
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:19
			your brother.
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:24
			Your brother. Don't curse him.
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:29
			Ask Allah to protect you from the evil
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:32
			he is doing, or to ask Allah for
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			hidayah or guidance for him. This is what
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:35
			you should do.
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:55
			We would never judge someone.
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58
			This is in the Mas'ud radiAllahu, he would
		
00:07:58 --> 00:07:58
			say.
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:02
			We would never judge someone by his actions,
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:03
			but we
