And
I will talk about 2 things that make
the Sahaba better than many of us,
or why we are not as good as
the Sahaba. Two main reasons.
This is the vision for many people. So
I was saying that most of the people,
and this one makes us different from the
Sahaba, they had a mission in life and
they had a vision.
So their mission and their vision was to
get to Jannah, to make it to Jannah.
And they used this life as a plantation
for the next life.
They knew that this life is a very
short life.
This life is very short.
And the next life is the eternal life.
The next life
is nothing compared to this life. This life
is full of pain,
problems,
difficulties, but next life, once you put your
feet in Jannah, you'll be taken care of.
And this is why they were ready to
sacrifice
everything for the next life.
Many of us
don't have a mission or a vision in
life. Their only mission and vision is to
make money, make babies,
play cards, and die.
That's it.
So many of us and, of course, this
story is in Sahih Muslim, Umayr bin Hamam
Al Sa'ib was from Al Asad
right before the battle of but the the
prophet
gave him a speech
and told him, stand
up to go to Jannah,
which its width and height is as big
as the heavens and the earth. So while
the Sahaba Umayyad ibn al Haman, he was
eating some dates in his hand, and he
said, oh, prophet of Allah, I want to
be from the people of Jannah. So the
prophet
said, you are one of its people.
So he threw away the dates in his
hands, and he said, if I lived
a few minutes to eat these dates, it's
a terrible life. I don't need this life.
I want to go to Jannah. Then he
joined the maharaka, the bellow, and he died
as a shayid. And he was the 1st
shayid from Aban Al Ansar.
Some of us have lived for 80 or
90 years, and they always think that they
are young.
No teeth,
they can't see, no hair. They are walking
with the 2 kids, 1 in the right,
1 in the left. But every time you
remind them of Afra, they have to do
good,
they live a miserable life, they are giving
everyone trouble. But when you remind them of
Afra, they tell you, I'm still young man,
I'm still young. I still have a long
life ahead of me.
So there is nothing wrong in Islam if
you live for this life, if you make
money, you have nice car, a nice house,
but you also have to do something for
the next life. This is the real life.
They like them, but because they saw the
prophet salalam eating them.
And Abdullah ibn Islam used to walk in
a certain part of the road because he
saw the prophet salalam walking there. He just
wanted to do like him.
Him.
Many of us, we don't have this. We
don't have an example to follow. We don't
have a role model. If you ask many
of our children
or even youth, who is your role model
in life? They will tell you, I want
to be, a soccer player like Missy. I
want to be a build a dancer like
this. I want to be,
this and this, an actor.
You see them walking in the streets around
Halloween
like zombies dressed up in crazy costume
or in Christmas, or knocking on people's doors
asking for candy because there's no wrong order.
They always look for out for others.
So we have to dig in our history
and look at the Sahaba and follow them.
So I was teaching a class, and I
was asking the brothers and sisters in the
class 3 years ago in the US,
who is your role model from among the
Sahaba? If Allah subhanahu wa'ala made you one
of the Sahaba, which one of them you
wanted to be?
So the men said, Abu Bakr, Omar, Uthman,
Ali, and a different Sahaba. And the sisters,
that was a surprise to me, that all
of them wanted to be Abu Bakr, Omar,
Uthman, Ali. So I said,
All of the ladies want to be men
like us.
There's Umu Salamah, there's Hafsa, there's Anisha, and
the other,
female Sahaba. Why don't you like to be
like them?
In conclusion,
the best thing to do to be like
the Sahaba, you have to study their lives
and pick one of them and try to
be like them in the best qualities they
enjoyed. And it's how it
And eventually gave up. He said, I couldn't
I couldn't match him. Every time I tried
to beat him in doing something good, he
always beat me, big time.
And the Sahaba used to say, the more
those man gave, the more Allah
blessed him, and his money always grew like
worms.
So he can follow the Sahaba in brotherhood.
In the story of Umayyad Nuwah, he came
to the prophet
to kill him.
And at the end of the story, when
he accepted Islam, Rasul SAW Salam Abu
So the prophet told him, take your brother,
teach him Quran. So Omar Khattab Al Hilbal
Alai when Umayyad first came to the prophet,
was dearer to my heart than him.
But once, as soon as he accepted Islam,
he is not bitter to me than my
chill.
And we'll continue next time inshallah. We'll let
you go.
