Just, before we start inshallah, as I mentioned,
there was an explosion here in Mississauga, Eglinton,
and Hoare, Ontario.
So, we make dua that Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala will keep this country safe and secure.
Also, a few weeks ago, there was, like,
this guy who drove his,
his van, and he killed many people and
injured many others. So we should always make
dua for this country inshallah. That Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala will keep its people safe and
secure.
There is also a 4 year old girl,
Rahma.
She's going for an open heart surgery and
the family is asking for your dua. That's
a very, critical condition. So we ask Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to make it easier for
her and to give her shifa and a
longer healthy life.
Abu Bakr Rasul Dhaykur
We know that he stood out, as we
mentioned last night.
So for example, Abu Bakr Rasul Dhaykur was
not he did not die shahid like some
other,
like other sahab. Right? Like Sumayya and Hamza
and some other sahab. Right? He was not
killed. He did not die a shahid.
And he was not injured in the battlefield,
like Khali ibn Walid and some other sahaba.
He was not injured like some others.
And he was not also tortured like Bilal
and
and Yasir
and Amal and like the others. He was
not tortured like them.
And their alama say maybe also there are
some of the Sahaba
who used to pray more at night, maybe
they give sadaqa more than him. We know
that Uthmar ibn Affair used to give all
the time, maybe at times he gave more
than Abu Bakr
But we know from the hadith of the
prophet
that Abu Bakr
will be in Jannah ahead of the rest
of the sahab. It would be on top
of them.
Like, there is a narration from Abdullah ibn
Abbas
And he said the first one from this
Umma,
who will take his book with his right
hand,
will be,
Umar ibn Khattab
So Umar
would be told, you are the first one
in this Umna to take their book with
the right hand,
and he will say, okay,
wait a minute. What about Abu Bakr Fattalu
Hayhat Hayhat who of Jannah? They say, he's
in Jannah already. He he doesn't need a
book. He's he's already in Jannah. Right?
So what made him special? What put him
ahead of other Sahaba, although he did not
die shahid, he was not tortured,
and and he was injured like many of
the other Sahaba.
If you also think about the example of
Khadija
There's something amazing about Khadija
She got the news of Jannah,
like in al Firdaus al-'Alah. There's Hadith in
Bukhari.
Jibreel alayhi salaam came to the prophet
in the house of Khadija
and said,
Khadija will come to you with some food
or drink.
Allah himself
is sending salam to her.
And give her the news of a house
in paradise in Jannah from pearls made up
of of pearl, and in that house, she
will not feel tired. There will be no
noise for her. She will live a comfortable
life. So she got the news of Jannah,
and the prophet
said she would be like, you know, one
of the queens of Jannah. A very important
personality in Jannah.
But wait a minute, she did not pray
the 5 daily namaz.
She didn't.
She didn't fast Ramadan.
Never. She because Ramadan was made an obligation
in the 2nd year of Hishra. She died
before Hishra in Mecca. There was no Ramadan
when in her life.
She didn't go for Hajj, there was no
Hajj at the time. The Prophet salallahu alayhi
wa sallam did Hajj many years after.
So, like, how come that she is at
the top and she didn't do like many
of the pillars of Islam? What made her
special?
Then you look at someone, he did not
even die as a Muslim, he's not a
follower of Muhammad because
this man,
he died. Yes, he met the Prophet
when Muhammad
was young,
but this man, Zayd ibn Amr,
he died before the prophethood of Muhammad So
what happened
before the Prophet
This man was looking for the truth. He
traveled from Arabia
to Iraq to Syria to look for the
truth, and all he found was shirk, and
he used to fight with Abu Sufyanal and
Abu Jal and all these kuffar before Islam,
and he is this is not the good
religion. You worship Arabs that you create, you
kill your own daughters, this doesn't make any
sense. And he said there has to be
a God who created everything. Right? And he
used to fight with them. And he said,
eventually, I couldn't find anything better than the
religion of Ibrahim,
Hanifa Muslima. And he died before the prophet's
word of Muhammad Sahasal. His son,
Sahid ibn Zaid,
came to the prophet Sahid al Khattar
and they were talking about the faith of
his father, Zaid ibn Amr. He was the
father of Sahid ibn Zaid.
And he said, You Rasulullah,
what happened to, Amrik Nizayed? Because he was
a good man,
and he was looking for the truth before
he came,
and he passed away before you came, so
what is gonna happen to him? Which Prophet
is he gonna come after? Is he going
to come behind Musa? Is he going to
come behind Isa Ibrahim? Taqal Rasool Allahu alaihi
fiyalahaifiyalahaifiyalahaifiyalahaatiyaalmatiyalmatiyalmatiyalmatiyalmatiyalmatiyalmatiyalmatiyalmatiyalmatiyalmatiyalmatiyalmatiyalmatiyalmatiyalmatiyalmatiyalmatiyalmatiyalmatiyalmatiyalmatiyalmatiyalmatiyalmatiyalmatiyalmatiyalmatiyalmatiyaluma,
So Musa Alaihi Salam with an Umma, Aissa
with an Umma, Ibrahim with an Umma, and
he said your dad,
Zayd ibnham, will come as Umma all by
himself.
He will come as an Umma all by
himself, one man.
So what made him, like, stand out although
he died before Muhammad
One thing that all these three have is
Ikhlas,
sincerity.
And this is what is all Allah
is asking for you. And as a matter
of fact, if you read the Quran, this
is the only thing that Allah requested
from people from Adam alayhi salaam till the
end of the time.
With this sincerity
for Allah
This is what Allah is asking of you.
Some people, they do big things,
but there is no Ikhlas. Maybe someone would,
say, for example, give $10,000
or 50 or a $100,000
salatah,
but their niyyah is, oh, people will say
I'm a good man. Karim. Jawadom Karim, in
the hadith of the prophet
But someone will give $10,
and this is the only thing they have
in their pocket, but they do it with
ihlust.
And at the end of the day, Allah
will give you the reward for just doing
your best, even if your best is not
good enough.
We'll continue some other time inshallah, and it's
Allah
and your zukhanal Ikhlas.
The question last night if you started your
fasting in Ramadan in Canada, then you moved
back home or you traveled to another country,
Egypt, Turkey, Pakistan, any other country. And they
fasted on a different day. So how do
you do?
So of course, if they fasted the same
number of days, then alhamdulillah, if they fasted
on the same day, no problem. If they
fasted say for example, you went there,
and they their total days of fasting for
you your total days of fasting is 29,
then they have their Eid. You do Eid
with them because you completed your month. A
month could be 29 or 30. You completed
your complete month. But say for example you
went there, and they still have 2 days
of Ramadan. If you fasted with them, your
fasting would be 32.
So these 2 days before they have their
own Eid, it's up to you. Either you
don't fast, but you don't have to eat
with them, and when they do Eid, observe
Eid with them, or you fast and these
2 extra days will be nafl, sunnah for
you, and Allah will give you the reward.
So the winner is brother
Javed Akbal.
Javed Akbal. Masha Allah takbir.
It's easy question for you. He gave a
detailed answer. JazakAllah Khair.
The
last question is, very easy.
The wives of the prophet
if someone of them passed away in the
life of Muhammad SAWS Alem, like Sauda bin
Tizama and some others,
he prayed Janazah for for for them. But
how come that he didn't pray Janazah for
Khadija He
didn't pray Janazah for her? Why?
It's a difficult question. You have to do
some research. If you know the answer, you
have to email me before tomorrow at imamustafatanotoriacenter.c.
