For themselves.
And the prophet says
in the authentic hadith and Bukhari Muslim, none
of you truly believes
until he or she loves for other people
what they love for themselves.
And by the same analogy, hate for people
what you hate for yourself.
So on and so forth. So at the
end of the Hadith, the Prophet SAW Alaihi
Wasallam said,
if you are not able to benefit people,
at least don't harm them. And this by
itself is a good deal. If you're not
able to benefit somewhat,
don't harm them.
If you look at little kids, this is
something we grow up with,
greed.
For example, look at kids.
There's a toy thrown in the house for
weeks, no one is looking at it, and
as soon as one of them picks it,
the other ones, they just,
you know, jump over the one that has
it. Because now one of them has it
it has value, the greed.
One big apple, one small apple.
So the one who picked first took the
bigger one.
So the other one told him, subhanallah, what
is this great man? Why did you take
the big one? So the other one told
him, if you were to pick pick first,
which one would you take? So he said,
I'll take the small one. So he said,
you have it.
Keep your heart shut. You already got it.
Khalas, leave me alone.
I visited one of the schools to talk
to them about brotherhood and loving for people.
What do you love for yourself?
I spoke for over half an hour and
after we finished, I said, now we will
practice what I said in my talk. I'm
gonna throw some candy in the air. If
you pick a candy, give it to the
guy sitting next to you, to your right.
As soon as I started throwing the candy
in the air, they literally almost killed each
other. Oh.
Speaking about brotherhood and loving for people what
you love for yourself is something good, but
when it comes to the practical life,
it is not, you know, not everyone is
willing to share with other people.
So Abdullah ibn alayla
went to the store one day to buy
something and he got some money in his
pocket.
So as soon as he saw something that
he liked and he was about to take
out the money from his pocket, the money
was gone.
No money.
So when the people heard about the money
of the Sahabi, the companion of the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, it was stolen, they
felt so sorry for him, they started to
make dua against the thief. Oh, Allah, kill
him. Oh, Allah, do this to him. Do
this to him. So I would like to
Rasool Al Rahman who said leave him alone.
Oh Allah,
if he took this money because of his
need for the money, oh Allah bless this
money for him. But if he took it
without a need, oh Allah make it his
last theft.
Oh Allah give him trouble so
a famous Indian politician,
and human rights activist. He was traveling one
day. In his youth he was a lawyer
so he was traveling one day and he
called the train and the train was on
the move. So, while he was trying to
catch the train, one of his shoes fell
down. He couldn't get it because of the
speed of the train. So, he took the
other shoe and he threw it next to
the other one.
His companions said his friends said, why did
he do this? So, he said, so the
poor who will find it will make use
of the 2 shoes. If I leave one
for him, what he's gonna do with it?
No. He was Hindu.
Sometimes he swear by the sun, the moon,
the dua. And Allah,
never swore by the life of a man
except one. Who is that man that Allah
swore by his life in the Quran? If
you email me the answer, you mail me
the answer, shalom.
