Mustafa Khattab – Muslim Manners 29 Humility I Ramadan 2012

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

before Tumu Asa at CIC, I'm a general

of the talk.
