Mustafa Khattab – Muslim Manners 16 Gratitude III Ramadan 2012

So the prophet

says in this authentic hadith, or everybody in

Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him and

his father,

that

people most people have 2 blessings that they

don't understand

the value

of these 2 blessings,

and these 2 blessings are *

and

So the meaning of the hadith, the people

don't understand the value of these two blessings.

They waste them, and sometimes they use them

to destroy themselves. When you have plenty of

time

and you're healthy and you don't know what

to do, sometimes

you use your help, you use your time

to destroy yourself.

The best thing about Canada is freedom,

and the worst thing about Canada is too

much freedom.

Yesterday,

this non Muslim Canadian

white man came to my office, and he

wanted to know about the land about Islam.

Before he started to talk, he showed me

a portrait of his son, 21 years old,

young and healthy and handsome.

And he told me that his son jumped

over a a bridge a couple of weeks

ago and he killed himself.

And this is why he started to, to

look for God because he was an agnostic

or atheist, and he started to learn about

Islam and and different faith.

Use it to do something good. Help yourself,

your family, and people.

Pray. If Allah

gave you eyes, use it to look at

what Allah

has made permissible.

If he gave you ears, only listen to

what is permissible.

Otherwise, if you use it for Haram, you

will be destroying yourself.

And this is the meaning of the hadith

of the prophet

So a man came to one of the

scholars his name is Abu Hazib and he

said how do I thank Allah

for the blessing of the eyes?

So he said to be grateful for your

eyes, if you see something good,

remember it. If you see something bad or

evil, forget it.

And he said, how do I show gratitude

for my ears? He said, if you hear

something good, remember it and broadcast it. And

when you hear something evil or something bad,

just forget about it. Don't convey it to

other people.

So some people, they abuse

these blessings from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and

therefore,

they contribute to their own destruction

in this life and the next.

So those who use their help to bully

other people

and those who use their eyes to disobey

Allah

They use their tongues to backbite people and

cheat.

Those who use their ears to listen to

the Haram, so they use them in bad

things, so they incur sins from Allah Subhanahu

Wa Ta'ala. And in the next life, they

will be punished for

this. Some people use their eyes to envy

other people.

So

some people use their eyes to envy other

people and we heard of this backbone.

So this guy,

he was a loser.

Every time he gets into business, he runs

out of business. So his brother, his own

brother, flesh flesh and blood, was very successful

in business.

Successful businessman. So he wanted to envy his

brother and destroy his business.

So he hired this profession of India

to look at his brother and destroy him

and his business. So he told him, my

brother is coming from a journey with a

caravan of camels, loaded with all different goods

and stuff. So I want you to stop

by the gates of the city when my

brother comes.

In, and he will die and all his,

caravan will be destroyed.

So sure enough, they went to the entrance

of the city, the gates, and and he

saw his brother coming from a long distance,

like 3, 4 miles. So he said to

the professional, here is my brother. He's coming

from there. India. Start your machine.

He said, where? I can't see him. He

said, over there, man. 3, 4 miles by

Saint Albert. Just just look at him. He

looked at him. He couldn't see anything.

So the brother said that I can't see

him from here. You can't see him? So

the provisional emir said,

can you see him from here? I can't

see. So the guy looked his eyes

because he emptied him.

So the Quran talks about the big bang

theory, the Surah Al Anbiya, verse number 30.

Happened that this believer seen that the universe

and the earth or the earth and the

heavens would were one solid mass and was

put them asunder.

So this is the big bag, Surah Al

Anbiya, verse 30, and the winner is Mustafa

Al Ankur.

So I

where?

Wait.

There's a verse in Juz Tabak that you

can read,

from the front, like, forwards, and you can

read it backwards. It reads the same thing,

that verse in the Quran. If you know

the answer, you may leave before tomorrow as

the CIC, then and then you will become

the
