Mustafa Khattab – Muslim Manners 9 Wisdom II Ramadan 2012

So the Prophet

says in Hadith

that a Muslim is always in pursuit of

wisdom.

So whenever he finds wisdom, he takes

it. So this is something a Muslim does.

So a Muslim, an intelligent Muslim, a wise

Muslim,

he knows or she knows why they are

here on this globe, on this in this

world.

They are here to worship Allah

glorify

him, stick around for a few years, then

they leave this world and move to the

next world.

Most of the people won't realize this fact.

And every time people come to me for

counseling,

I tell them, brother and sister,

you have 2 options. Number 1

and here's the thing. Before I give them

2 options, I tell them there's if you

are 40 years old

or 35 years old, there's no guarantee that

you are going to live another 40 or

another 35.

Now you have 2 options, either to live

a miserable life

or

to live a good life till the end

of your life and go to Jannah, alhamdulillah,

everyone is happy.

And I remember a few months ago, I

was doing dawah and somebody came wanting to

know about Islam so I sat with him

in the office and

I was giving him the introduction about Alkhanu

Islam, Alkhanu Ilman and all that stuff and

all of a sudden, there was

a terrible knock on the door. I opened

the door. There was this lady in her

forties,

45,

and she was devastated.

She was in tears, and she had her

husband and their daughter.

She came from an African country. Okay?

So

the lady said

my husband wants to divorce me because I'm

dark. I'm black.

I said La Hawlul, He is dark. She

is dark. Their daughter is dark. The whole

family is dark. I'm dark too. Okay?

So I said La Hawa Allahu Was

he blind when you guys got married then

he, you know, was able to see after

that? Or you were white at the time

of marriage then you got a tan so

you lost your color. What?

Go home. They said what time should we

come back? I said,

come back in 2017.

What is this man? Al Muslimul

Al

Haqqim.

A wise person is the one who doesn't

make the same mistake twice.

They learn from their mistakes. And we have

this saying back home,

a wise person is not the one who

doesn't make mistakes,

but the person who doesn't make the same

mistake twice.

Al Muslim Al Hakim.

So a wise person is the one who

thinks about the things he or she is

going to say. And believe me, if you

do if you do this,

75% of the time, you're not going to

say anything because it's either not beneficial

or is going to harm someone

or there's some harm that come from it.

So they keep their mouth shut, And this

is what the prophet says

in the authentic hadith,

let those who believe in Allah in the

last day

say something good or be quiet.

So you have to process everything you're going

to say. You have to think about the

things you plan to say. And, again, as

I said, most of the time, you're not

going to say it because there's no benefit.

It's a waste of time. It's a waste

of resources.

And I gave the story a long time

ago, but I like this story, and it

has to something to do with a scent.

Sayyid

so a man came to the guards and

said, I wanna talk to Muhammedalai. They said,

who are you? He said, tell them I'm

his brother.

They went to Muhammedalai, your brother is by

the door, he wants to come in. So

he said, okay, but brother, Alhamdulillah, come in.

So when he went inside,

Muhammad, I'm looking at him, and this is

not my brother. Who are you? He said,

I'm I'm your brother from Adam and Eve,

Adam Hawad.

He said, okay. What do you want?

He said,

you are great. You are my brother from

Adam and Eve. I want my share in

the money of my brother from Adam and

Eve. He said, okay. That's that's nice.

A cent. He gave him a cent. So

he said, what is this? A cent? What

am I gonna do with a cent? So,

Waawhi, lallahu, he said, wallahi, if I start

giving away my money to my brothers and

sisters from 'almati, if you will not even

get a cent, you are lucky. Alhamdulillah.

Al

the Quran that have, all the alphabet. The

last verse is Surat, Al Fati,

verse 29 and in Surat Al Imran chapter

3 verse 154.

And the winner for today is brother Salih

Adi.

Brother Salih Adi.

So you got this seerah of the prophet

in Arabi in Somali. And you got Surah

Yaseen and Surah Al Rahman recited by Sheikh

Abdul Qasid.

You know the answer, imil they eat bananas

every day, believe

me. If you know the answer, imil me

before tomorrow, asa@[email protected].
