You, the Muslim community,

00:00:31 --> 00:00:34

you are the best community in the array

00:00:34 --> 00:00:35

for mankind.

00:00:36 --> 00:00:36

Right?

00:00:38 --> 00:00:40

So you as a Muslim, you are part

00:00:40 --> 00:00:42

of this Ummah, this community of Muslims.

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04

Guide us. And you are talking about yourself.

00:01:04 --> 00:01:05

Right?

00:01:06 --> 00:01:09

Guide us, not guide me. Why? Because you

00:01:09 --> 00:01:10

are making Daf yourself

00:01:11 --> 00:01:13

and the rest of the Muslim woman. Right?

00:01:13 --> 00:01:16

So you you feel like you belong to

00:01:16 --> 00:01:17

this community.

00:01:17 --> 00:01:19

There's this beautiful hadith we mentioned a few

00:01:19 --> 00:01:21

days ago and one of the brothers

00:01:22 --> 00:01:24

loved it so much. The hadith says the

00:01:24 --> 00:01:27

prophet says in this authentic hadith, every time

00:01:27 --> 00:01:29

you make dua for all Muslims,

00:01:29 --> 00:01:30

Allah

00:01:30 --> 00:01:33

will give you Hasanat for every Muslims. So

00:01:33 --> 00:01:35

which means if you say, you Allah forgive

00:01:35 --> 00:01:37

me and all Muslim brothers and sisters in

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39

the world and make things easy for them,

00:01:39 --> 00:01:40

you make dua for everyone.

00:01:41 --> 00:01:41

Allah, technically,

00:01:42 --> 00:01:44

according to this hadith, will give you 1,600,000,000

00:01:45 --> 00:01:46

Hassanat. Right? So the

00:01:48 --> 00:01:50

this brother told me a couple of days

00:01:50 --> 00:01:51

ago that he loves it so much that

00:01:51 --> 00:01:54

now every man he makes dua for all

00:01:54 --> 00:01:56

Muslims that Allah will forgive them and make

00:01:56 --> 00:01:57

will make it easy for them.

00:01:58 --> 00:02:01

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala describes this Ummah in

00:02:01 --> 00:02:04

the Quran also as an Ummah then Wasata.

00:02:05 --> 00:02:08

Wasata in the Quran means moderate. Right?

00:02:09 --> 00:02:11

When you you look at the necklace,

00:02:11 --> 00:02:13

the most beautiful part in the necklace is

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15

the part in the middle. This is where

00:02:15 --> 00:02:16

you have the most jewelry

00:02:17 --> 00:02:17

in the middle.

00:02:18 --> 00:02:21

When you eat the Awara Millen, Tarbos. Right?

00:02:21 --> 00:02:24

The sweetest part of Awara Millen is the

00:02:24 --> 00:02:26

part in the middle. Right? Not close to

00:02:26 --> 00:02:28

the skin. No. Right in the middle. So

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is saying basically that

00:02:30 --> 00:02:32

this is the best ummah

00:02:32 --> 00:02:34

ever evolved for mankind.

00:02:34 --> 00:02:36

We know from Hadith of the prophet

00:02:36 --> 00:02:38

that the best of the best

00:02:52 --> 00:02:54

so, if you look at the names,

00:02:55 --> 00:02:58

suddib, wa, umar, uthman, Ali, just look at

00:02:58 --> 00:03:00

the the last letter of every word,

00:03:00 --> 00:03:04

take the taf from suddib, a siddib, the

00:03:04 --> 00:03:05

last

00:03:05 --> 00:03:07

letter of Umar, so taf,

00:03:07 --> 00:03:09

raa, and you take the nun from Uthman,

00:03:09 --> 00:03:12

the last letter of nun, kaf raa, nun,

00:03:12 --> 00:03:14

and you take the yad from Ali, the

00:03:14 --> 00:03:15

last letter.

00:03:16 --> 00:03:18

The four letters form the word karni.

00:03:18 --> 00:03:19

Karni.

00:03:19 --> 00:03:20

Right? My generation.

00:03:22 --> 00:03:25

But the Ayat comes with a condition.

00:03:25 --> 00:03:27

Yes, we're the best generation

00:03:27 --> 00:03:29

but you have to fulfill 3 conditions.

00:03:30 --> 00:03:32

Right? So number 1,

00:03:32 --> 00:03:33

Ta'marunah

00:03:33 --> 00:03:33

b'maru,

00:03:35 --> 00:03:36

you encourage what is good.

00:03:37 --> 00:03:38

And number 2

00:03:40 --> 00:03:42

and you forbid what is evil and number

00:03:42 --> 00:03:44

3 you have true faith in Allah.

00:03:45 --> 00:03:45

So

00:03:46 --> 00:03:49

if someone does not fulfill these three conditions

00:03:49 --> 00:03:51

he is not one of the best. Right?

00:03:51 --> 00:03:53

So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says if you

00:03:53 --> 00:03:55

want to be one of the best, you

00:03:55 --> 00:03:57

have to do this 1, 2, 3. Right?

00:03:59 --> 00:04:01

They say if there are 2 people who

00:04:01 --> 00:04:02

fall from,

00:04:02 --> 00:04:04

a ship, one of them a Muslim but

00:04:04 --> 00:04:06

he doesn't know how to swim and the

00:04:06 --> 00:04:08

other one is non Muslim, but he knows

00:04:08 --> 00:04:10

how to swim. Which one will survive? The

00:04:10 --> 00:04:12

one who knows how to swim. The one

00:04:12 --> 00:04:15

who Ya'afu Bin Aspen. The one who does

00:04:15 --> 00:04:15

his best.

00:04:16 --> 00:04:18

And we said it in fift, if you

00:04:18 --> 00:04:20

have 2 doctors, one of them is Muslim,

00:04:20 --> 00:04:22

but he's not practicing, he's not a professional

00:04:23 --> 00:04:25

and there's a non Muslim who is a

00:04:25 --> 00:04:27

professional, he's an expert, which one should you

00:04:27 --> 00:04:28

go to?

00:04:28 --> 00:04:31

They say go to the expert because the

00:04:31 --> 00:04:31

Muslim

00:04:32 --> 00:04:34

has to do his best to be among

00:04:34 --> 00:04:37

the best. Right? But if he's lazy, he's

00:04:37 --> 00:04:38

not doing his best, tell us it is

00:04:38 --> 00:04:40

his problem. Right?

00:04:40 --> 00:04:42

So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is telling us

00:04:42 --> 00:04:44

if you want to be part of the

00:04:44 --> 00:04:46

best you have to do this encourage what

00:04:46 --> 00:04:48

is good, forbid what is evil and have

00:04:48 --> 00:04:50

faith in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:04:51 --> 00:04:53

Of course, there are different conditions for Alhamdul

00:04:53 --> 00:04:55

Maroof and Naya Mizunka. If you see something

00:04:55 --> 00:04:58

wrong, you correct it, and don't keep quiet.

00:04:58 --> 00:05:01

Just like Banu Israil in the same surah,

00:05:01 --> 00:05:02

it says, If

00:05:03 --> 00:05:05

they see someone doing something wrong,

00:05:06 --> 00:05:08

they never said anything.

00:05:08 --> 00:05:10

They would punish the poor

00:05:10 --> 00:05:13

and the lowly people, but the rich people

00:05:13 --> 00:05:16

they never touched them. Just like in most

00:05:16 --> 00:05:19

Muslim countries now, the laws are made for

00:05:19 --> 00:05:20

the poor people.

00:05:20 --> 00:05:21

The rich people,

00:05:22 --> 00:05:24

the law does not apply to them. Right?

00:05:24 --> 00:05:27

And some of the scholars, they call them

00:05:27 --> 00:05:29

the scholars for dollars, they don't stand up

00:05:29 --> 00:05:31

for what is right, they stand up for

00:05:31 --> 00:05:35

who is in power. Right? So they don't,

00:05:35 --> 00:05:38

you know, apply or qualify for this condition.

00:05:38 --> 00:05:41

They call them the scholars for dollars. Wadulara,

00:05:41 --> 00:05:43

to wick and mazulah, all these things. So

00:05:44 --> 00:05:45

so they don't stand up for what is

00:05:45 --> 00:05:48

right. So they don't fall under, you know,

00:05:48 --> 00:05:50

or they don't fulfill the qualifications or the

00:05:50 --> 00:05:53

conditions that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is giving

00:05:53 --> 00:05:53

in the egg.

00:05:54 --> 00:05:56

So when someone says this is right and

00:05:56 --> 00:05:58

this is wrong, and you see it all

00:05:58 --> 00:06:00

the time especially after that. I don't explain

00:06:01 --> 00:06:02

in Muslim countries

00:06:02 --> 00:06:05

you see, you know, scholars are divided.

00:06:05 --> 00:06:07

Those who stand for what is right and

00:06:07 --> 00:06:11

those who stand with the rulers. Right? So

00:06:11 --> 00:06:13

this is the problem. In this case, people

00:06:13 --> 00:06:15

are not saying the truth they are just

00:06:15 --> 00:06:17

trying to please not Allah but to please

00:06:17 --> 00:06:19

whoever is in power and whoever has a

00:06:19 --> 00:06:22

gun. Right? So this is the problem for

00:06:22 --> 00:06:22

today.

00:06:23 --> 00:06:25

I'm gonna conclude with this story, I got

00:06:25 --> 00:06:26

only 1 minute.

00:06:26 --> 00:06:28

You know you heard the story from Farooz

00:06:28 --> 00:06:31

Saleem. It's not mission and hadith so we

00:06:31 --> 00:06:33

don't know if it's authentic or no. Right?

00:06:33 --> 00:06:35

But they say there was this ad that

00:06:35 --> 00:06:36

this scholar,

00:06:36 --> 00:06:38

he saw a group of people worshiping a

00:06:38 --> 00:06:39

tree

00:06:40 --> 00:06:42

and he went and he wanted to cut

00:06:42 --> 00:06:43

down the tree so on the way he

00:06:43 --> 00:06:46

was stopped by Shaitan and Shaitan came in

00:06:46 --> 00:06:47

the form of

00:06:47 --> 00:06:49

a man so Shaitan stopped him so the

00:06:49 --> 00:06:51

man said I have to cut it down

00:06:51 --> 00:06:53

this is Haram people are not worshiping Allah

00:06:53 --> 00:06:55

so Shaitan said I will stop you so

00:06:55 --> 00:06:57

they had a fight and this

00:06:58 --> 00:07:00

Abid this worshiper he knocked down the Shaitan

00:07:00 --> 00:07:02

he knocked him down he gave him a

00:07:02 --> 00:07:04

punch in the face the shaitan fell down

00:07:04 --> 00:07:06

on the floor. So shaitan said okay you

00:07:06 --> 00:07:08

don't have to cut it down just go

00:07:08 --> 00:07:08

home

00:07:08 --> 00:07:11

relax and come back and cut it down

00:07:11 --> 00:07:12

tomorrow. Right?

00:07:12 --> 00:07:15

And just because you're not going to cut

00:07:15 --> 00:07:17

it down tonight just go home and in

00:07:17 --> 00:07:19

the morning you'll find a $100

00:07:19 --> 00:07:20

under your pillow.

00:07:21 --> 00:07:23

So in the morning, sure enough, the man

00:07:23 --> 00:07:25

lifted the pillow and the $100

00:07:25 --> 00:07:28

were there. He said, okay, I don't have

00:07:28 --> 00:07:29

to cut it down today. You you know,

00:07:29 --> 00:07:31

I'm gonna give him a few more days.

00:07:31 --> 00:07:33

So every morning we opened his eyes and

00:07:33 --> 00:07:34

$100

00:07:34 --> 00:07:37

were there. So they say after 10 days

00:07:37 --> 00:07:39

he lifted the pillow there was no money.

00:07:39 --> 00:07:40

Right?

00:07:41 --> 00:07:43

So he went back, shaitan was there, he

00:07:43 --> 00:07:45

said okay where is my money? He said

00:07:45 --> 00:07:47

okay no more money. They had a fight

00:07:47 --> 00:07:50

and the shaitan won in this case.

00:07:50 --> 00:07:52

So the man said okay why did you

00:07:52 --> 00:07:54

beat me this time? Why didn't you beat

00:07:54 --> 00:07:56

me up this time? He said, because the

00:07:56 --> 00:07:58

the first time we had a fight you

00:07:58 --> 00:08:00

were fighting for Allah because something wrong was

00:08:00 --> 00:08:02

done and you were doing it for Allah.

00:08:02 --> 00:08:05

Now you're fighting me for win for the

00:08:05 --> 00:08:07

money and this is why I beat you.

00:08:07 --> 00:08:08

You're not

00:08:08 --> 00:08:10

doing it for Sabirina, you're doing it for

00:08:10 --> 00:08:12

the money. So we ask Allah subhanahu wa

00:08:12 --> 00:08:14

ta'ala to grant us to what is best

00:08:14 --> 00:08:16

in this community and give us sincerity in

00:08:16 --> 00:08:18

everything we say and do.

00:08:18 --> 00:08:20

Question from last night was

00:08:20 --> 00:08:23

the most difficult ayah in the Quran in

00:08:23 --> 00:08:26

terms of tafsir and Allah. Asa'al al Qurani

00:08:26 --> 00:08:29

tafsir and Allah, and the arlamat say it's

00:08:29 --> 00:08:30

ayah number 107

00:08:48 --> 00:08:49

Lina Sadi.

00:08:50 --> 00:08:52

Is there anyone to take the prize for

00:08:52 --> 00:08:52

her?

00:08:53 --> 00:08:53

Takdir.

00:08:54 --> 00:08:54

Oh.

00:08:55 --> 00:08:56

So we have a prize at the end

00:08:56 --> 00:08:59

of Shomar. So last question is also difficult

00:08:59 --> 00:09:00

from Surah Ahmed

00:09:01 --> 00:09:02

Ayat our 29th.

00:09:07 --> 00:09:08

Yes. Surah Al Ahmad,

00:09:09 --> 00:09:10

Surah 55,

00:09:10 --> 00:09:11

Ayah number

00:09:11 --> 00:09:13

29. What is the meaning of this of

00:09:13 --> 00:09:16

this ay? It is not like what most

00:09:16 --> 00:09:18

of the translators say in the translation. You

00:09:18 --> 00:09:20

have to dig deep and understand the actual

00:09:20 --> 00:09:22

meaning of the ayah. So if you know

00:09:22 --> 00:09:24

the meaning of this ayah, surah Rahman 55

00:09:24 --> 00:09:25

and 29,

00:09:26 --> 00:09:28

email me before tomorrow at info at misterhamatul.com.
