AI: Summary ©

The importance of learning about the Sahaba title and the Prophet's name for avoiding offenses is discussed, as well as the loud behavior of people in their ear. The speaker emphasizes the importance of being happy and not raising one's opinion, and provides examples of people who were born with strong personalities and were given shields to prevent them from being seen by police. The Quran provides guidance for those with health issues, including healing, and connects with the holy eye to motivate their children to love it. upcoming projects for children to learn the language and add to the material will also involve learning the title.

00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			We talking about
		
00:00:01 --> 00:00:02
			one of the Sahaba
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:06
			because I always see the importance of learning
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:07
			about the Sahaba,
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			connecting our children with the Sahaba,
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:10
			and
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:14
			how we can introduce our children to,
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			the Sahaba to our children as role models
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			because I know they're attached to their iPhones
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:21
			and
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			you know, video games and so on and
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			so forth and they don't know too much
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:28
			about the Sahaba. They cannot love them if
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			they don't know them. Right?
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31
			So
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:32
			the
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:35
			the way that we introduce the Sahaba to
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:35
			our children,
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:36
			we highlight
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:40
			some aspects, some some good examples from their
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:43
			lives so that you can introduce the Sahaba
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			to them and they will find something in
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			common. They can relate to the Sahaba. Because
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:50
			as we always say, the Sahaba face challenges
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			in their lives, and these challenges are not,
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			you know, different from what we have today.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			Financial challenges, political corruption, and so on and
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01
			so forth, economic problems, and and how the
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			Sahaba and how the Prophets dealt with these
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:03
			issues.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05
			This is something we can,
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			work with inshallah wata'ala.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08
			The Sahabi for today
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			has something to do with some good news
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			that I will share in the second Khubba
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			So I'm not gonna fast forward to the
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			second Khubba, we'll have to listen to his
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:19
			story first.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			So this Sahabi
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22
			has something to do with the Quran.
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			His name is Thabit ibn Nuqqais. One of
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:28
			the greatest Sahaba that you never heard of.
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:31
			Thabit ibn Nuqqais. And this is someone that
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			the Prophet
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			said about
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:37
			Niamar Rajruk Thabit ibn Nuqais Thabit ibn Nuqais
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			is a great man. And the Prophet
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			told him to his face, you are going
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			straight to Jannah. He told him, you are
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			going to Jannah.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:45
			Why?
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			If you read his life story,
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:49
			and you see his
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:53
			true love, profound attachment to the Quran, and
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			this is something we can learn from. First
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:58
			of all, he accepted Islam because he loved
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:58
			the Quran.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			So as soon as he listened to the
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			recitation of the Quran from Mus'ab Mus'ab ibn
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:06
			Umayyad. This Sahabi Thabit was from Medina.
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:07
			So when Mus'ab
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			recited Quran,
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			it hit his heart, he was moved, and
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:15
			he accepted Islam right away. He didn't ask
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			for like a book on Islamic philosophy, he
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:20
			didn't ask about the Haqqul Haqqul Philosifa, and
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			I'm gonna read about No, no, no. Immediately,
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			as soon as he heard the recitation,
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			okay, where do I sign? And he accepted
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			Islam, immediately.
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:32
			Some of the Sahaba, shiyukh Sahaba, they said,
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:36
			1 night we're passing by the house of
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37
			Thabit ibn the place in Madinah,
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			and we sell we saw nur coming out
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:41
			of the house. Nur coming,
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			Perhaps he was reading Surah Baqarah.
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			When they came to and
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			they said, what were you reading last night?
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:04
			And he was re I said, I was
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			reading Surah Baqarah, as the prophet
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			said.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			So he was attached to the Quran. He
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:10
			loved the Quran.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			And he loved it so much that in
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14
			some cases,
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			he got in trouble because of his extreme
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:18
			love for the Quran. And I'll share a
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			couple of, stories with you.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			There are some ayat in the Quran that
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			talk about Tabit ibn Qaysh without mentioning his
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:28
			name. Only Zayd Radhiallahu An, who was mentioned
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:31
			in Surah Azad, but no other Sahabi was
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:34
			mentioned by name. So Zayd Thabit ibn Nuqayes
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			is one of the Sahabas who are mentioned
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:37
			in some Ayat in the Quran. And if
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:40
			you read in Shannan Nuzul, as Baba Nuzul,
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			they tell you this ayah was talking about
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			Tafat ibn Tais, and so on and so
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:44
			forth.
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:46
			So basically,
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			one thing to know about Tafat ibn Tais
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			before I share the stories with you,
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			as they say in Arabic. He was hard
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			of hearing. He had a problem hearing.
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02
			So basically, if you wanted to learn Quran
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			or a teaching from Muhammad SAW He has
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			to sit in the front. He can't hear
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			in the back. They didn't have my accent,
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:10
			and so on and so forth. So he
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			had to walk all the way to the
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			front, so he could listen from Muhammad
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:16
			So basically,
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:19
			one day he came, the khalqah started, and
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			he had to move to the front.
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			So he pushed his way all the to
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:23
			the front,
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			and basically he wanted to sit next to
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:26
			Muhammad
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:28
			so he came, there was one of the
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			Sahaba miskey, and he came early, he wanted
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:33
			to listen to the halata, and Thabit came
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:34
			and said move.
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:36
			Yeah.
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:39
			So he said, well, I came first and
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			I stopped him. I can't. At first, there
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			is a spot there in the back. Sit
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:43
			there. So
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:45
			Thabit was
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			very mad. He was very angry that the
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			Sahabi didn't give him space. Right?
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:54
			So he sat, a little bit third line
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			or something, and he called he he called
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			this Sahaba Yo. Do you have a name?
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			What is your name?
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			He said, my name is Fulan.
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:04
			He said, oh, ibn Fulan.
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			His mom didn't have a good reputation before
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:10
			Islam. Like, some Sahaba, they came from, you
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:11
			know, some background.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			You know? They used to do things that
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			are Haram, but when they took shahara, Allah
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			Yani changed, their situation.
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:18
			So
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			Like, you're you're treating me like you are
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:27
			someone,
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			and you came from this background, your mom
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:33
			had this terrible reputation. If if you came
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:33
			from a good reputation, we wouldn't be able
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:34
			to talk to you. So this Sahabi, he
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			was so embarrassed that he put his face
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			on the ground, and he said, okay,
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			you can come take my spot. Right? But
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:41
			he was broken,
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:45
			and the prophet
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:46
			didn't like this exchange.
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			And this ayah was revealed in Surah Al
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:49
			Jarat.
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:56
			Don't make fun of each other, don't call
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:58
			each other by name, fall organic,
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			by bad names and so on and so
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			forth. Don't offend each other. So this ayah
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:06
			Surah Hajra'a came because of Thabit al Bukays.
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			Because of his extreme love for the Quran
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			and listening to Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:12
			so but he learned the, you know, the
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:13
			difficult way.
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:15
			There is another ayah,
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			that talks about Fabbat ibn Kais and so
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21
			on and so forth. And the good thing
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:24
			about the Sahaba including Fabbat ibn Kais, if
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:25
			there was an ayah of the Quran that
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:26
			was revealed,
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:29
			the first thing that comes to their mind
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			is this Ayah talks about me.
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			This Ayah talks about me. Right? So if
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:35
			it talks about salah,
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:37
			I need to do more salah. If it
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			talks about something Haram, I need to stay
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			away from this. Even if I'm not doing
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			it, I need it is talking to me.
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			So now, SubhanAllah, someone is doing something haram,
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:49
			they're selling like alcohol in their convenience store,
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			their ayah talks about
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53
			alcohol in the Quran, it's haram, and there's
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			is talking about Ibn Khatti. It's not talking
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59
			about me. It's talking about my cousin. Yeah
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:02
			Amur, it's talking to you. Right? So the
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:04
			Sahaba understood the Quran to be talking to
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			them, each and every one of them. So
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			when this ayah was revealed in Surah
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:17
			Hajarat, Don't raise your voice over the voice
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:17
			of the prophet
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			And of course, because Thabit ibn Qaysr
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			he was hard of hearing.
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			When he spoke he was very loud.
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			And if you want to experience this, if
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31
			you talk to someone who is listening to
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33
			something in their ears, they have the headphones,
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			and if you ask them something when they
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:37
			respond to you, they are very loud.
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:39
			Where is where is myself? What is all
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:40
			over there?
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43
			Like they are fighting with you, but they
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:45
			don't mean to to raise their voice, but
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:46
			because they can hear themselves.
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			I remember one time, one brother,
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			he married a Canadian sister, and they went
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:55
			to visit their family back home in North
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:57
			Africa. I'm not gonna mention their name,
		
00:07:58 --> 00:07:59
			but they do very good.
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:01
			Right? So
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:04
			he he was there, he was sitting with
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:06
			his mom and dad in front of the
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			house, his wife was in the second floor,
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:12
			and he said what his wife heard was
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:13
			fighting, verbal fight.
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			Like, he was saying something to his mother
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:16
			like,
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:19
			and his mother was responding because the sister
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			didn't speak Arabic. So what she heard was
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:22
			like,
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:25
			So she called her husband and she, should
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:28
			I call 911? Are you guys fighting? I
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:30
			said, no. My mom is asking me, would
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:31
			you like some mint in your tea? And
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:33
			I said, yeah, please put a little bit.
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35
			Some people talk like this. They are very
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:38
			loud, and especially from, you know, our country's
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40
			background. Some people are very loud.
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:42
			If they talk to someone over the phone,
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			you can hear them from Brampton. Right? Because
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:46
			they are very loud.
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:50
			That, like, it is as if they pretend
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:51
			the phone is not there, and they are
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:53
			talking to the guy from here. Right? Very
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:56
			loud. Taibid ibn Tais was doing like this,
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58
			but for a reason. Because he he was
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:00
			hard of hearing. He has a problem in
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02
			his ears. So when the ayah came, don't
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:04
			raise your voice to Muhammad
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:07
			and the Sahaba understood it to mean, don't
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:08
			raise your voice, or
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:11
			don't call him by his first name, don't
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:12
			say Muhammad,
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:15
			because Allah calls him in the Quran either,
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:16
			Yayuhun Nabi, Yayuhar Rasul,
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:18
			or it could also mean
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:21
			don't put your opinion over his. If the
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:22
			prophet
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:24
			says in an authentic hadith, do it this
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:26
			way or this way, don't say, but I
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:26
			think
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29
			who are you? Shut up. If the prophet
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:32
			said in an authentic hadith, this is halam,
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:34
			this is halal, and it is sup especially
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:36
			if it is supported by the Quran, you
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:38
			have no opinion because the sharia is for
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:40
			Allah through his prophet
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:42
			So Thabit ibn Tais,
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44
			he thought that the ayah is talking about
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46
			him because he was very loud.
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:49
			He said, you know what? I'm doomed because
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:50
			I raised my voice. And the ayah says
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:53
			at the end, Fatah Bata'amalikum, your your good
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			deeds will be lost, wasted.
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:57
			He said, I'm gonna stay in my house,
		
00:09:57 --> 00:10:00
			just go for namaz, pray, and leave fast.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			Jadi jadi. After salah, just run to your
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:04
			house. Don't talk to the Prophet
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:06
			don't attend the khalatabiz. Because if you allow
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:08
			it, you are doomed.
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:09
			But the Prophet
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12
			missed him. He would give the talk, Fabbat
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:14
			is not there. So he send 1 of
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:16
			the sahabat, the prophet wants to talk to
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:17
			you.
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:20
			He came to the prophet okay, what is
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:22
			the problem? And he said, You Rasulullah, I
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:25
			have 3 problems here. Three big problems for
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:26
			me. Number 1,
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:30
			I like it when people say good things
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:31
			about me.
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:33
			Maybe for Allah, this is not good, and
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:36
			I think this is bad for me. And
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:36
			number 2,
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:41
			I love beauty, and Allah doesn't like arrogance.
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44
			And number 3, I have a loud voice,
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:46
			and I feel like if I talk to
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:47
			you and you know I'm a loud person,
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:50
			then maybe this will be bad in the
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:51
			eyes of Allah. It will be like a
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:53
			sign of disrespect, then Khalasa. I just said
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:54
			that to Muhammad Khalasa.
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:56
			And subhanAllah,
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:59
			I will tell you what the Prophet SAW
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:00
			told him, but a small footnote here in
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:01
			the Khutba.
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:04
			If you do something good, and people say
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:06
			good things about you, it is not a
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:07
			bad thing.
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09
			Especially if this is not something you are
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11
			looking for, like when you are giving salatah,
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:13
			you are not doing it for the people,
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:14
			you are doing it for Allah, but they
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:16
			said, alhamdulillah, this brother has done a good
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:16
			job.
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:21
			You should feel
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:23
			happy that Allah
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:25
			guided you to do something good. You should
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:26
			be proud of yourself.
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:28
			You're not doing it for showing off. You
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:30
			are happy that Allah guided you to do
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:31
			good.
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33
			Just like you are ashamed of yourself
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36
			if Allah left you to do something bad.
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:38
			You should have this this feeling inside of
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:41
			you. Because some people feel discouraged to do
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:42
			something good in public because
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:44
			maybe I'm showing off. No. If you're doing
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:45
			it,
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:48
			then people see you, they are motivated by
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:50
			you. Alhamdulillah, there's no problem here. So the
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:51
			prophet
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:53
			told him, Amayur Udikar
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:55
			and Taisha Hamidan.
		
00:11:58 --> 00:11:59
			Wouldn't you be happy
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:00
			if Allah
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:03
			gives you an honorable life in this dunya?
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:05
			You're an honorable man. You're a very good
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:05
			man.
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:08
			And you will die like a shahid, and
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:09
			you'll go straight to Jannah. The prophet
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:12
			told him, you are going to Jannah 100%.
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:14
			You're going straight to Jannah.
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:16
			Another ayat
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:20
			that talks about Thabit ibn Qais and his
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:22
			wife in the Quran, in Surah Ash,
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:24
			ayah number 9, where Allah
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:28
			speaks about something that Thabit did and his
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:30
			wife did with him. So basically, they heard
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:33
			there was this person who was fasting for
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:34
			2 3 days in a row, they just
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:37
			drink water, they didn't have anything to eat.
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:40
			So Thabit told his wife, let's invite him
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:41
			to eat food with us. They didn't have
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:43
			much in the house, but he said let's
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:46
			share with him. So he invited him. So
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48
			he came, and he told his wife, as
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50
			soon as we start to eat, just pretend
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:52
			you are getting something from there, from the
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:55
			shelf, and turn the lights off. So our
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:57
			guest will be able to eat all the
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:59
			food, and we pretend we're just eating there
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:02
			with him in in order not to embarrass
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:03
			him, so he can eat and and be
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:03
			full.
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:05
			In the morning, the prophet
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:09
			told him, Inna Allahuqad ajiba ajiba minsanirikumma
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:11
			bidaifikumma Allah
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:13
			was impressed
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			by what you did and your wife with
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:16
			your guests last night.
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:18
			So we ask Allah
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:20
			to give us the best in this life
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:21
			and the best in the life to call,
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:21
			mister
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:38
			Last night sorry. Last time I spoke about
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:42
			the dreams and and the interpretation of dreams.
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:44
			Those of you who are here, those who
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:46
			came, but they were dreaming in the chuppah,
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:48
			they checked out, and they were thinking about
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:50
			biryani, about burgers, and
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			Last time I didn't have the chance to
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:57
			talk about something related to Thabit ibn Qais
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:58
			when it comes to dreams.
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:01
			So basically, they say in Firkuh, in Islamic
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:02
			history
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:03
			no
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:08
			wasayyah in Islamic history was approved and fulfilled
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:09
			based on a dream,
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:13
			except on a dream of, Khabid ibn Nqais.
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:15
			There's an exception here. So basically, if your
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:17
			dad or your mom comes to you in
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:18
			a dream and say beta
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:22
			You have to divorce your wife, don't listen
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:24
			to that. It is not in this case.
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:26
			If they tell you, you have to sell
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:28
			the house or kick your brothers out, don't
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:30
			listen to that. It is not
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:32
			But if they tell you give sadaqa, go
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:34
			for umrah, alhamdulillah, it's a good thing you're
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:36
			not harming anyone in this case.
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:39
			So basically, Fabbat ibn Nuqais, as the prophet
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:42
			told him, you will die shahid. He actually
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:44
			died shahid, as the prophet
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:45
			said.
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:48
			So basically, after he died, he left his
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:48
			shield,
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:50
			Filmarag, in the battlefield,
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:52
			and one of the Sahaba saw it, and
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:53
			he took it.
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:55
			And he put it in his tent, and
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:57
			he covered it with something so no one
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			could see it. So Fafid ibn al Qais
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:01
			came to another Sahabi in a dream, and
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:04
			he told him this person took my shield,
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:06
			he put it in that place, he covered
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:08
			it with something, go take it, give it
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:09
			to Khaled ibn Walid,
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:11
			the army leader, and asked Khaled to give
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:13
			it to Abu Bakr
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:16
			Khalifa and tell him to sell the shield
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:18
			and pay my debts and do this and
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:19
			this and this. He gave him his walsiyyah.
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:21
			So when the walsiyyah came to Abu Bakr,
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:24
			the law, he applied the walsiyyah,
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:27
			although the walsiyyah came after Tawhid passed away.
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:29
			They say this is the only time in
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:31
			Islamic history that a walsiyyah
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:34
			was applied or fulfilled after someone's death. This
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:35
			is the only exception.
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:38
			So now, the good news. The reason why
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:41
			I'm talking to you about Thabit ibn Atayes
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:43
			and his connection with the Quran, and how
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:45
			great can, you know, how
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:48
			great his connection with the Quran is because
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:49
			of this good news
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:51
			that will cause some of you to be
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:53
			dancing in the parking lot of tasala, and
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:55
			some of you will freak out, they will
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:56
			never come again.
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:00
			Ramadan is coming in less than 3 months.
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:01
			Oh my goodness.
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:04
			I was trying to forget. But anyway, Ramadan
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:06
			is coming in less than 3 months. This
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:08
			is an amazing time to connect with Allah
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:11
			Wa Ta'ala. So in the last 2, 3
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:12
			minutes of the life of this Khuba, we'll
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:14
			talk a little bit about your connection with
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:17
			the Quran. How can Quran motivate you?
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:20
			I've given shaharas to 100 of people, alhamdulillah,
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:22
			over the last 13 years.
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:24
			And I saw videos of people coming to
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:25
			Islam and taking Shaharab.
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:28
			People like Kat Stevens, those of you who
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:31
			are our seniors, they remember back in the
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:34
			19 seventies eighties, Kat Stevens was now Yusuf
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:36
			Islam, came to Islam because of Quran.
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:38
			And many people,
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:41
			Yusuf Istis and many other great du'a now,
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:43
			they came to Islam because they just read
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:44
			the Quran
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:46
			in broken translations.
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			But still Allah gave them Hidayah through, you
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:51
			know, these translations of the Quran. They don't
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:52
			speak Arabic.
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:54
			So let's say if you speak Arabic or
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:56
			you can navigate your way through the Quran,
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:57
			through translation,
		
00:16:57 --> 00:17:00
			it took it should touch your heart. You
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:02
			should have this connection with the Quran. The
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:04
			Quran, as we always say,
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:05
			Shifa.
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:09
			Allah calls it Shifa in the Quran. He
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:10
			says it's a healing,
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:12
			not medicine, healing.
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:15
			Right? The difference is Shifa, it will give
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:18
			you healing for sure. Medicine, maybe.
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:20
			You go to the doctor, you have a
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:22
			fever or or something, they give you medicine,
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:24
			it doesn't work. Your condition will get worse.
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:25
			It's a medicine,
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:28
			but Allah calls the Quran chiefa healing for
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:29
			sure.
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:30
			But sometimes
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:32
			will pretend
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:35
			that the Quran is just there for Barakah,
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:37
			you put it on, like, the dashboard in
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:38
			your car,
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:41
			especially if you are running away from the
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:43
			cops because you don't have insurance, you don't
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:44
			want to get tickets, you put it there
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:45
			for Barakah,
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:49
			Put 1 in the front, 1 in the
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:49
			back.
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:53
			And and some people, as we always say,
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:56
			their connection with the Quran if someone dies
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:57
			in the family, they play Quran.
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:00
			And back home, SubhanAllah, if we play Quran
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:02
			in our house back home, we have a
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:04
			guest, the first thing they will say, subhanAllah,
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:05
			who died?
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:08
			Who minmat? Like, they commend the Quran with
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:09
			the dead.
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:10
			But Allah how Allah
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:13
			calls up talks about Quran in the
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:18
			If you read Surah, you see in this
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:18
			Quran,
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:21
			gives a reminder to those who are truly
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			alive. It talks about the living. Right?
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:25
			So sometimes,
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:27
			like, we have all these illnesses that we
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:29
			have, our challenges with our kids,
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:34
			financial issues, political problems, social problems, this and
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:35
			that, political whatever.
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:38
			And the healing is in the Quran. You
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:40
			just pretend like someone who is sick, and
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:42
			they have the medicine in the fridge, but
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:44
			they are too lazy to take it out
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:46
			and use the medicine. Right? So the Quran
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:47
			is there, we need to be connected
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:49
			with the Quran,
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:51
			and we need to make our kids love
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:52
			the Quran.
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:55
			Usually the Quran, the relationship with the Quran,
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:58
			they memorize it because they have to, because
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:00
			someone is gonna take their electronics away, or
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:02
			they will send them back home.
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:08
			Right? So when the Quran comes to their
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:08
			mind,
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:11
			because of how they memorize the Quran with,
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:13
			some of the shiyyih back home, right, They
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:15
			give you a hard time. So this is
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:17
			what you remember. You remember Al Asayed, the
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:19
			stake, and no. We need to make them
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:21
			fall in love with the Quran. Explain to
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:22
			them in a way they can understand.
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:25
			They read beautiful stories in the Quran. How
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:27
			can they relate to the stories? We need
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:29
			to bring it, you know, to life in
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:31
			in their lives, and we need to attach
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:33
			them to the Quran. They cannot do this
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:36
			on their own. We have to introduce it
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:38
			to them in a good way. In many
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:40
			cases, I visit people and, subhanAllah,
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:43
			their children are lost in electronics, and iPads
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:46
			and iPhones, they're playing the whole day You're
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:48
			sitting with their even if you talk to
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:48
			the kids
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:51
			They're sitting in a corner playing with their
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:54
			iPad or their iPhone. They're just like zombies,
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:54
			man.
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:57
			I know, right? So they're sitting there, I
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			call the people of the cave, Al Al
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:01
			Kahf. They just sit in the dark and
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:02
			they play with their phones.
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:04
			And I'm sure some of you many of
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:06
			you have zombies at home. Right?
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:08
			We love them, we care about them, but
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:10
			tell them, you know, we love you.
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:12
			This is the time to learn and explore
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:14
			and see the world. Go to the backyard
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:17
			with a magnifying glass and explore and learn.
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:20
			Yeah, you can have electronic time, like maximum
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:21
			1 hour a day.
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:23
			The kids hate me in the back.
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:26
			One hour a day is the maximum they
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:27
			can have at this point. There has to
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:30
			be time to pray, time to play, time
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:32
			to take talk to their brothers and sisters,
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:34
			time to play with their friends. Then electronic
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:36
			time, homework time, and so on and so
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:38
			forth. Right? This is the time. So we
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:40
			need to connect them with the Quran. There
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:42
			are a couple of projects that I'm working
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:44
			on that will make the Quran super easy
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:45
			to understand, inshaAllah.
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:47
			This is not commercial, by the way.
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:50
			One for the kids, one for adults.
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:52
			So we hope that Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala,
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:54
			will give us the life and the strength
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:56
			to, to make this come to reality, inshallah
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:59
			So this is just a reminder. We'll share
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:01
			some with, some more reminders
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:02
			in the future, inshallah.
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:05
			We ask Allah
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:08
			to give us the Barakah of the Quran,
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:10
			connect us with the Quran. We ask Allah
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:13
			to put nur in our homes, to put
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:15
			light in our our hearts, and ask Allah
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:18
			to make our children love the Quran and
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:20
			to be good Muslims. Ameer, Ameer, abalameer.
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:21
			Wassalidahumala
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:23
			said no. Muhammadu waala aaalu sahmath maiwa aum
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:24
			salaam.
