So today, inshallah, the qualities of a Muslim
is humility, when you humble yourself.
There are different types of humility. Today, we'll
talk about the first type which is humility
with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and his prophet.
And tomorrow inshallah will talk about humility with
the people.
So humility with Allah, this prophet is when
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says something,
you listen and obey, don't argue. Why do
we pray Malar 3 rakat? Why do we
pray basritu? Why do you fast the tim
malik? Why don't we fast the luq?
You wish, but this is the way it
is. If Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says something,
you listen and obey.
So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is telling us
in the Quran, if Allah says something and
the Prophet say says something, you just listen
and obey. Don't argue.
So sometimes
when someone comes to ask a question about
salah, about fasting and all that stuff, I
give them the answer. And as usual I
like to excite verses from the Quran and
Hadith.
They tell you, okay, fine. But, I think,
we should do it this way.
And I I I I tell them, okay.
If Allah says in the Quran, the prophet
says in the authentic hadith, don't show me
you think.
Then they say, but the thing is we
have a PhD in mechanical engineering and we
think this and this. I say, what does
mechanical engineering have to do with salah? Okay.
Adi me alone. Plus PhD sometimes
means
permanent hit damage.
Speaking. It's not it's not always a good
thing. It's good to to be a doctor
but, you know, don't argue with Allah and
his prophet.
So one time I was talking to this
brother in Egypt
and he's a director or something.
He wears gold from head to toe like
freekels of gold men. And I told him
if someone wants to be rich then if
they kidnap you they will be rich their
entire life.
And I have his number by the way
if you wanna kidnap him.
So
I told him the prophet said an authentic
hadith that it is not permissible for a
man to wear gold. So he said that
you know what? I know it is a
hadith
but the thing is if I don't wear
gold I can't breathe.
What does breathing have to do with with
gold?
Nothing. They
are making up stuff.
We all know the story of Raman Fatima
ibn Abi An, who goes on the member
one day giving a footba about people exaggerating
in the month, the dowry when they get
married. So he said, you know, keep it
simple, be economical, and then I don't ask
for lots of money for the ladies when
they get married. So a lady stood up
and said, how do you say this? And
Allah says in the Quran when you get
married and you give a lady a mountain
of gold, don't take anything from it. He
says, a lady got it white and Ummah
got it
So I have a clue to this story
even in Khajjaz, he was very harsh ruler
and many people don't like him.
So
he was passing in the prisons one day
and this guy called him and he said
someone from my tribe, he did something wrong.
He is illegal. He did something terrible. They
looked for him. The police, they looked for
him. They couldn't find him. Okay? They didn't
want to come back to the prison empty
handed.
They saw me walking in the street and
they took me in his place. What is
this? So Al Hajj told him but the
boy says
maybe you are innocent and you are taken
to somebody else's
guilt. It's okay. It happens. Don't worry. Just
relax and stay in jail. No problem. So
he told me, but Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
says something else in the Qur'an. He says,
what did what does Allah say? He says,
Allah says in Surat Yusuf,
when they took the younger brother of Yusuf
Alaihi Salam,
so the brothers of Yusuf, they offered
that Yusuf take somebody else and give them
that young brother because his father will feel
very sorry for him. So he said, Yusuf
Alaihi Salam said, no. We only take the
guilty person. If we take somebody else, we
are unjust, and this is not acceptable. So,
Al Hajjaz reflected and said, yes, you are
right. Allah subhanahu wa sallam said the truth,
and I'm wrong.
And he called his the police chief and
said build his house again
and give him money from the state. And
since someone to call in the streets and
say that Allah is telling the truth and
appoints a lie.
Thus Allah
Subhanahu
Wa
Ta'ala
So,
the longest ayah in the Quran is in
Surah Al Baqarah chapter 2, Ayat 282.
We have 2 winners today,
Nada Abdallah,
sister Nada Abdallah.
In one to say before you can help
yes.
Tell us we'll give it to you after
the tarawih. The second winner is,
chest get very suppressed and they can't breathe
very ill easily. And this is scientifically accurate.
If you know the answer I emailed me
