00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			All of us, Muslims, we love the prophet
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			We love to hear stories about him.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			And all of us, even those who are
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			not practicing Islam, those who will pray, those
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			who will fasten the land, they still love
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			and respect the prophet
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:47
			So today, inshallah, we'll talk about how you
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48
			can properly
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:51
			show love and respect to the prophet.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			We'll start with the Sahaba and the one
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			who lied, because they are our leaders and
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			our examples. We learn from them because they
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			learn from the prophet
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01
			directly.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:03
			The sahaba of the Qur'an Qur'an
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			were used to be asked, how did you
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			show love to the
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			He he was, you know, fixing the hair
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			of the girl's * and he was shaking
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			his head at the bottom
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			and the Sahaba were standing around the girl's
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:52
			* and then so no hair falls on
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			the ground. Whatever
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			some hair fell down from the hair of
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			the girl's * and then
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:24
			so he said, well, Bali, all of us,
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:27
			we love him more than we love ourselves,
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			more than we love our children,
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:31
			and wives, and parents,
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			and wealth. We love him more than anything
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:37
			else in this world. Why? Because he was
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			in front of them, he was meeting by
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			example, he was so humble with them, so
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			they loved him so much.
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			The entire army, they did the same thing.
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:49
			Although, they didn't get the honor of seeing
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:52
			the prophet, they they came or they accepted
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			Islam or they were born after the death
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:55
			of the prophet,
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			but they still loved him so much.
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			Just because his eyes saw the Promised, he
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:36
			wanted to harm his eyes because they he
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:38
			laid eyes on the Promised.
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			We do love the Promised. As I said,
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			even those who are not practicing, they love
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:43
			the Promised.
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:29
			Way to the prophet
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:31
			asked the prophet,
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:32
			is there anyone
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:35
			who is as good or is better than
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37
			us in your sight?
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:40
			So the pros he said, because we accepted
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			Islam in you, we believed in you, we
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:45
			made Hijra with you, we struggled with you,
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			we did everything with you. So is there
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			anyone who is as good as you are
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51
			or even better than us? So the pros
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:52
			said, yes.
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:55
			Some of my mumma, people like you who
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:58
			will come after my time and they will
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00
			believe in me, they will truly believe in
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02
			me and follow me without even seeing me.
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:05
			Right? So this gives us some hope.
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:06
			The prophet also
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:08
			in another authentic hadith,
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:21
			So the prophet
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:24
			says that after my time some people like
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:24
			us
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:26
			who would be so different
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:28
			they would wish that they will see the
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:31
			prophet because they love him so much. So
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:32
			the prophet
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			said they love me so much that they
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:37
			will be willing to sacrifice their wealth and
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			their family just to see me and to
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			be with me. Right? So, this is how
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:44
			much we love the prophet says, no question
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:45
			about this.
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:48
			But, how can you translate this love into
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:48
			action?
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:52
			Right? Because I said, everyone loves him,
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:56
			but not everyone follows his example. And Allah
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:56
			is
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:58
			telling us in the Quran,
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:06
			Allah
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:07
			subhanahu
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:08
			wa
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:12
			ta'ala in the Quran says, if you truly
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			love Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and love me,
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:17
			follow my example.
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:18
			Allah
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			will forgive your sins and you will accept
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			your good deeds. So this is what Allah
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:27
			says in the Quran. In another place in
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:28
			the Quran, Allah
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			talks about true Muslims and true believers.
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:32
			And Allah
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:33
			says,
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:48
			Those who believe in the promised,
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:51
			and they support him,
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:55
			they support him, and they follow the light,
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:57
			which is the Quran that was revealed to
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:59
			him, they are the true believers, and they
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:02
			are the successful ones. So Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:04
			ta'ala says it very clearly, if you are
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:06
			a true follower of the prophet, if you
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:09
			love him, truly, then you have to follow
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11
			his example. This is a scary Hadith al
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:12
			Sahib al Sahib al Sahib al Falih.
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:13
			The
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			So in this hadith in,
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:52
			the prophet
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:55
			says, I will be by the which is
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:55
			the place,
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58
			where the prophet will give people to drink
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:00
			on the day of judgment.
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02
			So some of the Umrah, people like ourselves,
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:05
			will go to drink. They are so desperate.
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:06
			It's a very hot day. It's a very
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:09
			long day. Everyone is Thursday. So they will
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:12
			come to drink, and the prophet will recognize
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:14
			them, yeah, yeah, from my.
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:16
			Then the prophet says, all of a sudden,
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:19
			they will be driven away and kicked out.
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:20
			So the prophet
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:22
			will say, yeah, they are from my. What
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:23
			happened?
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25
			So he would be told, you don't know
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:28
			what they did after you. They changed. They
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:30
			didn't follow your way. They did something else.
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:33
			They were against the sunnah. They didn't pray.
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35
			They didn't follow Islam properly. They said they
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:37
			love you, but when it comes to practice,
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:39
			they did something else.
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:41
			So we have to be careful. We have
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:43
			to put our love to the pros to
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:44
			the pros sallallahu
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:45
			alaihi wa sallam into practice.
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:47
			How can we do this?
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:49
			I'm going to give you a few examples,
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:52
			then we'll continue next week inshallah.
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:55
			The first way is to follow his sunnah
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:56
			and follow his example.
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:58
			We know that
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00
			following the prophet
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			means two things. Number 1,
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:05
			that you fulfill the law and * and
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			I bet. So we know in Islam, there
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:10
			are rights for Allah, like salah and Hajj
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12
			and so on and so forth
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:13
			and sincerity.
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:14
			Then,
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:17
			the rights of the people, if you also
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:19
			want something you have to give it. You
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:20
			fulfill your responsibilities
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:24
			and your duties toward your husband or wife
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:26
			or your children or your parents. Few Muslim
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:29
			brothers and sisters. So these are the rights
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:31
			and the obligations in Islam. A
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:33
			lot of people, they just ask for their
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:35
			own rights, but when it comes to fulfilling
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:38
			their responsibilities and duties, thank you. I'm not
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:39
			interested.
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:42
			Whether we're talking about husbands and wives or
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44
			children and parents or parents and children and
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:46
			so on and so forth. And I said
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:47
			as I said before,
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:49
			most of the time we have problems in
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:52
			our lives as Muslims because two reasons. Number
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:53
			1,
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:55
			because you don't know your responsibilities
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:58
			and number 2, because the priorities in your
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00
			life as a Muslim are missed out.
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:03
			So, the rights of Allah and the rights
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:04
			of the people.
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:07
			As we conclude this year and we're going
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09
			to receive a new year 2015 in a
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11
			few days, so you have to think
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:13
			what did I do
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:15
			in this last year about the rights of
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:18
			Allah, my Ibad, and the rights of the
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:18
			people, Muhammed'at
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:21
			with the people. So you have to take
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:22
			care of both.
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:23
			Number 2,
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:25
			you have to have
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:28
			and Allah says in the Quran,
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33
			So you as a Muslim, you have to
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:35
			be proud of who you are
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:35
			because
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:38
			as we heard 2 footpaths ago that some
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:40
			of us because of all the negativity we
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:42
			hear in the in the news, they put
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:45
			you down and you feel bad about yourself.
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:47
			So much so that some of us, when
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:49
			they go to school, they they go to
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:51
			college, they don't want people to know that
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:51
			they are Muslim.
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54
			They don't want to go by their Muslim
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:56
			names, so people would know he's Muslim.
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:58
			You know. You should be proud of who
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00
			you are. If your name is Mohammed, just
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:02
			say my name is Mohammed. You have to
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:04
			be proud of it. Oh, brother, but the
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:06
			name is wrong. It's a long name. I
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:07
			just go by Moe.
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:11
			Well, believe me, Arnold Schwarzenegger, I don't know
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:12
			how to spell the name. It's one line.
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:13
			He
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:17
			Right? It's 25 letters. So don't worry about
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:20
			being long name. Right? So you have to
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:22
			be proud of your name. If you're named
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:24
			Mohammed or Zakaria or Yahweh. Just don't go
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:27
			by your Muslim name, man. Everybody one is
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:28
			proud of who they are.
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:31
			We're talking about non Muslims, we're talking about
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:34
			gays, we're talking about this. Not everybody's proud
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:35
			of who they are and what they stand
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:38
			for. So you are the Muslim. Allah Subhanahu
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:41
			Wa'ala says, you are the best, you are
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:42
			the finest,
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:44
			and you are ashamed of who you are
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:45
			in your faith.
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:47
			Oh, my name is Mo.
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:49
			And I keep telling people this, when you
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:50
			go to the grave and they ask you
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:53
			who your Lord is, you say Allah, you
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:54
			get one mark.
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:57
			Then when they are asked about your faith,
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:59
			you say my religion is Islam, you get
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:01
			another one. When it comes to the 3rd
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:03
			religion, who is your prophet, you say no.
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:06
			You ain't getting none. Right? You're not getting
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:08
			anything. Right? You lose everything.
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:10
			When you go to the alq, you look
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:12
			for someone to make shafa after you. You
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:14
			look for someone by the name of Mo.
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:17
			There's no such name. His name is Muhammad,
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:18
			sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. So you have to
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:21
			be proud of his name. You are carrying
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			his name. You have so, please, this is
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:25
			my passion. I I feel very mad when
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:27
			people don't respect the name of the prophet
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:30
			He is respectable in this life and in
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:32
			in in the as well. So Allah
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:35
			respects him. Where I told him that,
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:43
			They said salaam to Muhammad So
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:46
			you shouldn't be ashamed of following his sunnah
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:47
			or carrying his name.
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:51
			As a Muslim, we said before that the
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:51
			Allah
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:53
			decreed holidays
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:57
			and rituals for every community. I don't have
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:58
			to talk about this in detail, but you
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:01
			know what I'm talking about. We're on Facebook.
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:03
			Those of you who are young and you're
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:04
			on Facebook,
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:07
			and they see things and people participating in
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:09
			holidays and everything. We said before,
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:10
			Alhamdulillah,
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:13
			our brothers and sisters in humanity, we respect
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:16
			them. Everyone has their own faith. Everyone has
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:18
			their own holidays. We don't expect everyone to
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:20
			participate in an Eid ul Fitr or Eid
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:24
			ul Aqha, and therefore, Muslims shouldn't also participate
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:27
			in non Muslim holidays, especially the religious ones,
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:28
			the pagan
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:31
			ones. There's this hadith, the Zayd al Khali.
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:33
			It talks about the people who honor
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:37
			some holidays and some practices that they go
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:39
			against the teachings of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:41
			Subhanahu
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:44
			Wa'ala.
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:07
			So in this khalil albuhay, Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:09
			ta'ala says, some of my servants,
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:12
			they offend me and they insult me.
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:13
			So,
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:16
			how do they insult Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:19
			and offend them? So, Allah gives the answer.
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:21
			They offend me and insult me by saying
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:22
			that I have children,
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:24
			and I am the one.
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:27
			I'm not in need of anyone. I didn't
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:29
			I'm not the father of anyone. I'm not
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:31
			the son of anyone, and there's no one
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:33
			equal to me. So, you shouldn't participate in
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:36
			anything that offends Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:38
			results here, as mentioned in the Hadith.
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:40
			Number 3.
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:45
			One of the qualities of the prophet that
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:47
			you can learn from him, and books and
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:49
			books have been written about his kindness and
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:52
			his forgiveness. We'll just give one example. It's
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:53
			one of my favorite Hadith,
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:54
			and it's a Nufidic hadith
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:56
			in Bukharian Muslim.
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:07
			So the prophet
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:10
			provided this piece of gold among 4 people.
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:13
			I think they they just accepted Islam, so
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:15
			the prophet wanted to honor them. So he
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:17
			gave them the piece of gold among 4
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:18
			people.
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:21
			So someone was there, he didn't get a
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:22
			share from that gold, so he was not
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:24
			so happy. So he gave it to the
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:26
			prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam and said, it's
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:27
			tuck in that and he yelled, it's tuck
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:29
			in that. To the prophet salallahu alaihi wa
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:29
			sallam himself,
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:31
			how disrespectful
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:34
			that was because he was not happy with
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:36
			the distribution of, you know, the gold.
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:39
			So Khalid ibn al Miridullah was there and
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:41
			he said, Yeah Rasulullah, let me fix him
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:43
			up for you because he's he's not showing
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:45
			the proper respect to his munafa.
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:49
			So the prophet said leave him alone because
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:52
			he prays. He offered salah to Allah, why
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:54
			should you kill him? Right? He said leave
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:57
			him alone. So Khareem Malik said, you Muslim
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:59
			Allah, but some Muslims they say things with
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:01
			their tongues or they pray, but they are
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:04
			not in their hearts. Their faith is not
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:05
			perfect. So the prophet
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:07
			said, I have not been sent
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:10
			to cut people's chest open and look at
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:12
			their hearts to see if they are true
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:14
			believers or not. This is not my job.
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:16
			Allah is the judge. I just delivered their
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:19
			salah, the message, and Allah will judge them.
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:45
			The last thing for today, inshallah, we can
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:46
			learn from Rasool al Sazim.
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:48
			Don't be judgmental.
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:51
			Don't make judgments and and jump to conclusions
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:54
			when it comes to people. We see this
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:56
			all the time, whether you come to the
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:57
			masjid. I don't know how about this one,
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:59
			but in general,
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:01
			where outside people just they take one look
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:03
			at you, then they make judgments.
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:05
			Oh, who is he is this, he is
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:07
			that, she is this, she is that.
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:09
			If you look at the example of the
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:09
			prophet,
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:12
			most of the Sahaba
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:14
			did things
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:18
			before Islam, they were not proud of after
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:21
			Islam. Right? So some of them drank alcohol
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:23
			before they became Muslim, some of them they
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:26
			committed zina before Islam, some of them they
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:29
			did terrible things, but once they accepted Islam,
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:31
			they started a new page with Allah subhanahu
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:34
			wa ta'ala. So the prophet was never judgmental.
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:38
			He never told anyone, remember 15 years before
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:40
			Islam, you did this, you did that. No.
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:42
			No. You shouldn't judge people of who they
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:43
			were.
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:45
			You should judge them by who they are
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:45
			now.
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:48
			Because all of us, when we are young,
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:51
			when we are in our Jannia, every single
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:52
			one of us here,
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:53
			myself included,
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:56
			we did some things when we're young, we
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:58
			didn't have the proper understanding of things, we
		
00:19:58 --> 00:20:00
			didn't have any amount of wisdom,
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:02
			but as as long as we start to
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:04
			grow older, we slow down, and we learn
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:07
			things, we see, the world from a different
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:07
			perspective.
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:10
			So we change, and the Allah subhanahu wa'ala
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:13
			is willing to accept us and forgive us,
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:15
			but some Muslims they are not willing to
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:17
			forgive or accept for some reason.
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:20
			So you shouldn't be judgmental of Muslims. Oh,
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:21
			her hijab,
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:23
			oh, his salah, his beard, all that. No.
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:25
			No. All you need to do is just
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:26
			give people Nasiyyah
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:29
			with love and with sincerity. This is the
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:31
			only way you can have an impact on
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:33
			the people. You don't just go by what
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:35
			people say about someone
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:38
			or by the way they look. Because looks
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:40
			are not always give you they don't always
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:42
			give you the right perspective of someone.
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:44
			You just look at
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:47
			Ayoub alaihis sal. The people used to say,
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:48
			oh,
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:54
			So some of the people at the time
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:57
			of Ayoub, they said, well, Allah Allah didn't
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:59
			put him to the task. He didn't lose
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:01
			his money, and his wealth, and his health.
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:04
			The reason he was tested was because he
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:06
			did something terrible, and Allah punished him. This
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:08
			is what some people said about a prophet.
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:11
			If you look up Ibrahim Alaihi Salam, the
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:12
			way he was alienated,
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:16
			but because he was telling the truth, some
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:18
			people didn't like him. Right? And he was
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:20
			always to decide they didn't want to hang
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:22
			out with him. Although, he was the best
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:23
			in the community.
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:25
			You look at someone, for example,
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:27
			like, Lukman.
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:30
			Oh, he was a slave. He was this.
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:32
			He was that. Oh, Yusuf. He was in
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:34
			jail, man. Yusuf was in jail,
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:36
			but he was innocent. Oh, we don't care.
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:37
			Right?
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:39
			Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi wa Salam, he was the
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:41
			best human being that has ever walked the
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:43
			face of this earth, and some people at
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:44
			this time they called
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:45
			him Majnoum,
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:48
			sahih al khatm. Some people called him a
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:51
			liar, a magician, and a madman, a crazy
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:53
			man. Some people of Islam, even some of
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:56
			his relatives who didn't accept Islam. So you
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:58
			don't always go by what people say about
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:00
			someone. What matters at the end of the
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:02
			day is how nice
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:05
			or righteous these people are. You don't judge
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:07
			people by what people say about them, and
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:10
			give people the benefit benefit of the dawah.
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:12
			We'll continue next week inshaAllah. There's a very
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:13
			couple
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:15
			of announcements before we let you go inshaAllah.
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:19
			The first one is about the salah times.
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:22
			We updated the, the old salah schedule we
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:25
			have after talking to some members of the
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:28
			community and after looking at the, Islamic finder,
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:30
			and talking to some of the imans from
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:32
			Hamilton, from Toronto, and some other places.
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:34
			There are some copies outside here at the
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:37
			charity box, and also with the sisters. You
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:39
			have a week to take a copy, take
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:41
			a look at it. If you have feedback,
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:43
			let us know before Jum'ah because at Jum'ah,
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:46
			inshallah will print copies for everyone.
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:48
			The second and last announcement,
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:52
			I haven't been following the news for months
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:53
			now because of the * nature of the
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:56
			events from different countries in the world, mostly
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:57
			Muslim countries.
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:00
			But, a recent incident that happened in Pakistan
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:03
			about 10 days ago was brought to my
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:03
			attention
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:06
			and, of course, my heart has been bleeding
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:06
			ever since.
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:10
			We, as Muslims, we condemn the killing of
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:13
			innocent people and the murder of innocent people,
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:15
			women and children and men.
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:17
			Whether they are in Pakistan
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:21
			or in Afghanistan or in Palestine or Iraq,
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:22
			Syria, Kurdistan,
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:26
			Libya, Egypt, Yemen, or over. Muslim and non
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:27
			Muslim countries.
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:29
			One thing I know for sure, regardless of
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:32
			the politics of it, regardless of their parents,
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:34
			if they are in the military, not in
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:35
			the military, I know one thing,
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:38
			that these kids didn't do anything. They are
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:40
			innocent in the side of Allah. They are
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:42
			innocent in the side of Islam. So, we
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:45
			condemn the killing of innocent children and women
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:45
			and men,
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:48
			regardless if they are killed by their fellow
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:48
			citizens
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:49
			or by
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:51
			invading countries,
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:53
			whether they are killed by guns or tanks
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:56
			or drones from the sky. All of this
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:58
