Mustafa Khattab – Muslim Manners 1 Patience I Ramadan 2012

Last year, we spoke about the things that

bring you closer to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

and how to have a better relationship with

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

This year, we'll talk about Muslim manners and

how to have a better relationship with the

people.

So when the Prophet SAW was asked about

the highest

type of iman, the highest level of iman,

the Prophet SAW says patience

and good manners

and kindness.

So today, inshaAllah, we'll be talking about patience.

One patience

Okay?

But it's very tough, and this is why

I I like to start by talking about

patience. If you live in this country, especially

in Edmonton,

and you have to fast for 19 or

20 hours, you have to have a little

patience. You walk in the street, you see

people eating them. You go to work, you

see people drinking Tim Hortons. And your fasting

is very tough. I was talking to my

mother this morning in Egypt, and she told

me that I'm fasting in Egypt for 15

hours. I never felt so envious in my

life.

Okay?

Last year, when I started to fast,

19 and 20 hours is gonna get worse

next year in June.

So,

I felt that, like, I was gonna die

the 1st couple of days. But when I

saw a lot of kids fasting, I said,

Alhamdulillah, I will survive.

How many of you

still remember how much they suffered last year?

No one.

Why? Because once the Rebada is over, all

the hardship is gone.

And this is why this guy said,

the hardship of good deeds like fasting and

salaam, waking up of fashr, as soon as

the prayer is gone, as soon as the

fasting is gone, you forget about the worship

and the difficulty.

But the reward and the honor will be

there forever.

And the pleasure for doing evil deeds, dating

and drinking and smoking and all that stuff.

As soon as you're finished, the pleasure is

gone, but the disgrace is there

and the punishment

is there forever. And this is the difference.

The

prophet

says,

the way to the hellfire is paved with

pleasures,

and the way to Jannam paradise is paved

with difficulty.

And some of my friends at the law

as well they used to translate,

this hadith to the way

to Jannam is paved with candy

like this.

Yeah. That's a good one.

And the way to Jahannam is paved with

salt.

So you have to have to face challenges,

and you have to have to face difficulties

when you wait to Jahannam. It is not

easy. And you look at the Sahaba and

the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, how much

they suffer. I'm gonna conclude with this Hadith,

and in the news sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,

So this is a wonderful Hadith, and it

will help you get over the difficulties and

the challenges that you face when you fast.

Allah

says

the prophet says in the authentic hadith Islamic

Muslim that on the day of judgment, Allah

will bring forth 1 of the kuffar.

They use those who used to date any

woman they wanted, those who used to drink

anything they wanted, they used to smoke anything

they wanted. No ada, no aqlaq, no manners,

nothing. And Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, will dip

them once in the hip fire, Then they

would ask, have you seen any pleasure in

this world? They say, no more lie. We

forgot everything.

Then Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, will bring forth

a Muslim, a believer, who used to fast

in the summer

when it was very hot. And they used

to fast long days, 20 hours. And they

used to stand at night until a wave

and come in the morning for fajr, and

they have to wake up early in the

morning to go to work. And Allah

will lift him once in Jannah, and he

will say, have you seen any difficulty in

this life? Any hardship? They say, no, Allah.

We forgot everything.

All the hardship, all the pain, all the

difficulty is gone. So if it gets difficult

for you while you're fasting,

remember the reward and the honor you will

get on the day of judgment, and this

will help you. On the day of judgment,

the Kufa, when they will be punished for

their deeds in this life, they wish they

have fasted the whole year.

They wish they have standing the whole day

and the whole night in salah. So Allah

So the question for today, every day, inshallah,

we'll be asking question from the Quran.

Ramadan is the month of our Quran. So

in juz a'amma, juz number 30, Allah

says that something breathe and this thing has

no soul. What is it? If you know

the answer, you mail me before tomorrow
