You, the Muslim community,
you are the best community in the array
for mankind.
Right?
So you as a Muslim, you are part
of this Ummah, this community of Muslims.
Guide us. And you are talking about yourself.
Right?
Guide us, not guide me. Why? Because you
are making Daf yourself
and the rest of the Muslim woman. Right?
So you you feel like you belong to
this community.
There's this beautiful hadith we mentioned a few
days ago and one of the brothers
loved it so much. The hadith says the
prophet says in this authentic hadith, every time
you make dua for all Muslims,
Allah
will give you Hasanat for every Muslims. So
which means if you say, you Allah forgive
me and all Muslim brothers and sisters in
the world and make things easy for them,
you make dua for everyone.
Allah, technically,
according to this hadith, will give you 1,600,000,000
Hassanat. Right? So the
this brother told me a couple of days
ago that he loves it so much that
now every man he makes dua for all
Muslims that Allah will forgive them and make
will make it easy for them.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala describes this Ummah in
the Quran also as an Ummah then Wasata.
Wasata in the Quran means moderate. Right?
When you you look at the necklace,
the most beautiful part in the necklace is
the part in the middle. This is where
you have the most jewelry
in the middle.
When you eat the Awara Millen, Tarbos. Right?
The sweetest part of Awara Millen is the
part in the middle. Right? Not close to
the skin. No. Right in the middle. So
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is saying basically that
this is the best ummah
ever evolved for mankind.
We know from Hadith of the prophet
that the best of the best
so, if you look at the names,
suddib, wa, umar, uthman, Ali, just look at
the the last letter of every word,
take the taf from suddib, a siddib, the
last
letter of Umar, so taf,
raa, and you take the nun from Uthman,
the last letter of nun, kaf raa, nun,
and you take the yad from Ali, the
last letter.
The four letters form the word karni.
Karni.
Right? My generation.
But the Ayat comes with a condition.
Yes, we're the best generation
but you have to fulfill 3 conditions.
Right? So number 1,
Ta'marunah
b'maru,
you encourage what is good.
And number 2
and you forbid what is evil and number
3 you have true faith in Allah.
So
if someone does not fulfill these three conditions
he is not one of the best. Right?
So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says if you
want to be one of the best, you
have to do this 1, 2, 3. Right?
They say if there are 2 people who
fall from,
a ship, one of them a Muslim but
he doesn't know how to swim and the
other one is non Muslim, but he knows
how to swim. Which one will survive? The
one who knows how to swim. The one
who Ya'afu Bin Aspen. The one who does
his best.
And we said it in fift, if you
have 2 doctors, one of them is Muslim,
but he's not practicing, he's not a professional
and there's a non Muslim who is a
professional, he's an expert, which one should you
go to?
They say go to the expert because the
Muslim
has to do his best to be among
the best. Right? But if he's lazy, he's
not doing his best, tell us it is
his problem. Right?
So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is telling us
if you want to be part of the
best you have to do this encourage what
is good, forbid what is evil and have
faith in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Of course, there are different conditions for Alhamdul
Maroof and Naya Mizunka. If you see something
wrong, you correct it, and don't keep quiet.
Just like Banu Israil in the same surah,
it says, If
they see someone doing something wrong,
they never said anything.
They would punish the poor
and the lowly people, but the rich people
they never touched them. Just like in most
Muslim countries now, the laws are made for
the poor people.
The rich people,
the law does not apply to them. Right?
And some of the scholars, they call them
the scholars for dollars, they don't stand up
for what is right, they stand up for
who is in power. Right? So they don't,
you know, apply or qualify for this condition.
They call them the scholars for dollars. Wadulara,
to wick and mazulah, all these things. So
so they don't stand up for what is
right. So they don't fall under, you know,
or they don't fulfill the qualifications or the
conditions that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is giving
in the egg.
So when someone says this is right and
this is wrong, and you see it all
the time especially after that. I don't explain
in Muslim countries
you see, you know, scholars are divided.
Those who stand for what is right and
those who stand with the rulers. Right? So
this is the problem. In this case, people
are not saying the truth they are just
trying to please not Allah but to please
whoever is in power and whoever has a
gun. Right? So this is the problem for
today.
I'm gonna conclude with this story, I got
only 1 minute.
You know you heard the story from Farooz
Saleem. It's not mission and hadith so we
don't know if it's authentic or no. Right?
But they say there was this ad that
this scholar,
he saw a group of people worshiping a
tree
and he went and he wanted to cut
down the tree so on the way he
was stopped by Shaitan and Shaitan came in
the form of
a man so Shaitan stopped him so the
man said I have to cut it down
this is Haram people are not worshiping Allah
so Shaitan said I will stop you so
they had a fight and this
Abid this worshiper he knocked down the Shaitan
he knocked him down he gave him a
punch in the face the shaitan fell down
on the floor. So shaitan said okay you
don't have to cut it down just go
home
relax and come back and cut it down
tomorrow. Right?
And just because you're not going to cut
it down tonight just go home and in
the morning you'll find a $100
under your pillow.
So in the morning, sure enough, the man
lifted the pillow and the $100
were there. He said, okay, I don't have
to cut it down today. You you know,
I'm gonna give him a few more days.
So every morning we opened his eyes and
$100
were there. So they say after 10 days
he lifted the pillow there was no money.
Right?
So he went back, shaitan was there, he
said okay where is my money? He said
okay no more money. They had a fight
and the shaitan won in this case.
So the man said okay why did you
beat me this time? Why didn't you beat
me up this time? He said, because the
the first time we had a fight you
were fighting for Allah because something wrong was
done and you were doing it for Allah.
Now you're fighting me for win for the
money and this is why I beat you.
You're not
doing it for Sabirina, you're doing it for
the money. So we ask Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala to grant us to what is best
in this community and give us sincerity in
everything we say and do.
Question from last night was
the most difficult ayah in the Quran in
terms of tafsir and Allah. Asa'al al Qurani
tafsir and Allah, and the arlamat say it's
ayah number 107
Lina Sadi.
Is there anyone to take the prize for
her?
Takdir.
Oh.
So we have a prize at the end
of Shomar. So last question is also difficult
from Surah Ahmed
Ayat our 29th.
Yes. Surah Al Ahmad,
Surah 55,
Ayah number
29. What is the meaning of this of
this ay? It is not like what most
of the translators say in the translation. You
have to dig deep and understand the actual
meaning of the ayah. So if you know
the meaning of this ayah, surah Rahman 55
and 29,
email me before tomorrow at info at misterhamatul.com.
