Mustafa Khattab – Muslim Manners 8 Wisdom I Ramadan 2012

So, 1 week is gone from a month

of Ramadan that is 1 quarter of the

month is gone.

And

believe me, it goes very fast.

The first couple of days are very tough

and they're very long, but

once the first 2 days are gone, the

whole month is gone. And this is why

we call it fasting because it goes very

fast.

Islam.

So today, inshallah, we're talking about one of

the qualities of a Muslim and that today's

quality is wisdom.

Not everyone has wisdom,

and common sense is not very common.

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

it calls it Hikma in the Quran. So

if you wanna learn Hikma, you have to

study the life of the prophet sallallahu alaihi

wa sallam and try to follow his example

and this is the way to get Hikma.

And Hikma Ta'rafha al kasarbuwakawal

alfir al shaylmunasib

So hikmah means to say or do the

right thing

and say the right thing to the right

people in the right way at the right

time.

But this is not the right time.

So if a lady

wakes up her husband at 2 in the

morning to talk about the bills,

this is not the right time, and this

is not the right way.

And I remember last year, one of the

brothers I was getting ready, I was on

the way to the Islamic school to pray

salatulay,

and he stopped me, and he said, I

wanna divorce my wife today. Should I come

before Ra'id or after Ra'id?

So I said, okay.

I'm gonna give you my number. Call it,

and we can discuss it over the phone.

1800

Go, Imam.

This number doesn't exist.

This is not the right time. Okay?

Well,

to learn Hikma, you have to try and

you if you make mistakes, you will learn

from your mistakes and this is one of

the ways to get Hikma.

To reflect on the signs of Allah

is another way to get Hikma.

So one of the people came to Dawood

Alaihi Salaam and said I have chicken

in the basement and every morning I wake

up in the morning and 2 chicken are

gone. I have a thief, one of my

neighbors is is a thief. So how do

I know the thief? So the woman

called the people to come to salah in

his house, and he started to give them

a talk. And he said in his talk,

why on earth would some of you stay

up all night stealing chicken and ducks from

their neighbors and they come to my house

to pray with their heads covered with feathers?

So one of them started to remove the

fit like this from his head, so the

Uddhara said, hey, this is the guy. This

is the guy.

Moscow stand, Madrid stand. Oh, it's all Muslim

land. Go to, to Canada, it's full of

Muslim. So they looked at their the Muslim

was sitting next to them and said, hey,

if you wanna work in a place that

doesn't have Muslim, where should we go? So

the Muslim said, go to Jahannam. It's the

only place that doesn't have Muslims.

So we said that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

always talks about light in the Quran in

the singular because it's 1. The straight path,

it's only 1.

But

Allah talks about darkness in the plural

because there are many ways that people can

deviate. Some people worship other humans like and

they worship the holy cow in India and

so on and so forth. So there are

so many ways to deviate.
