So today, inshallah, we'll be talking briefly about
wisdom. Wisdom is a very precious thing, and
not everyone
has
wisdom.
Wisdom is,
is, close to, common sense. And as they
say in English, common sense is not very
common. Not everyone has common sense. It is
not common.
So a few days ago, a couple of
weeks ago, I was driving, shopping on Tuesday,
and I saw this guy holding the hose
and watering the trees and the grass and
everything. But this is not the problem. The
problem is it was raining
at the time.
So it was raining. He was watering
the plants, and it was ready. So I
said,
What what is the point? What is the
point?
One of our fellow students at the last
word got this question, and it says, what
are the 5 keys to the unseen
that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala only knows? They
are mentioned in the Quran.
So when the, professor said, tell me the
5 things in the Quran that nobody knows
except Allah. So the students said, if if
only Allah knows them,
how do I know them?
Yes. So wisdom is to say the right
thing to the right people.
And so this is wisdom. You think before
you talk.
So wisdom is a gift. Not everyone has
it. Allah says in the Quran, so at
the Baqarah that Allah gives wisdom
to whomever He wants. It's not for everyone.
And whomever Allah
gives wisdom, it's a great privilege.
Sahlil. So So number 3, you think about
the consequences
of what you are going to say or
do.
For example,
So many people, if they think about
they think about the worst, of course. But
if they think about the consequences
of what would happen to her kids,
they will be torn
apart, they will be lost, so they will
never divorce. So they think about the consequences.
Number 2,
So you have to think about the things
you're going to say. Don't just talk like
this,
an answer machine. No. You just think about
what you're going to say. And the prophet,
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, said in the wafamtikkalidinbuqayi
and muslim, that some people
would say something and they're not thinking about
what they are saying, and Allah
will make them fall in the hill fire
for what they say. So you have to
be careful
about what you say. The last thing,
So number 4, you have to think from
your own mistakes.
Don't do the same mistakes again.
So they say, America, the wise one
is not the one who doesn't make mistakes.
We're all human. We we make mistake, but
the wise person is the one who doesn't
do the mistake again.
And some evil people use this saying if
someone tries to marry another woman, so they
say,
don't make the same mistake again. Okay? So
quit.
Should I rip his head off? What should
I do? So the pro assassin said, no.
Take all your all your luggage or your
clothes and put them in front of the
house
pretending that you are moving to another house.
So the other neighbors came and said, why
are you leaving? What happened? So he said,
my neighbor so and so is harming me.
He is nasty to me. So the people
started to cuss at that neighbor and say
bad things about him. So when that neighbor
came and saw people cursing him, he said,
he feels so sore and said, no. Don't
move. Go back, and by Allah, I will
never harm you again.
This is the one this is not taken.
So our man came to,
Sulaiman alaihis salam and said, one of my
neighbors steals my chicken all the time, and
I don't know who here. So, Soleiman alaihis
salam called the people and said, come for
prayer in my house. So all the people
came, all the neighbors.
So Soleiman alaihis
salam said, why do some of you
steal
chicken all night long and when they come
to pray with their heads covered with feathers
from the chicken? So one of them started
to to do like this, clean his head.
So he said, take him. This is the
guy.
So
a man came to, Maui on the Musafiyah
asking for permission to see him, so the
guards stopped him. So he said to the
guard, go and tell him that your brother
will see you.
So the guard went to Mahalia with the
law of Moses and your brother wants to
see you. So he said, which one? Which
one?
So he said, anyway, let him come. So
the man came to Mahawiya of the law.
And Mahawiya didn't know him. So he said,
who are you? So he said, I'm your
brother
from Adam and Eve, Adam and Hawa.
So he said, okay. What do you want?
So he said,
now
you admitted that you are my brother from
Adam and Eve. I want my share in
your money.
So he gave him a sidd. Yeah.
Okay. Take a sidd. He said,
What is this? A cent? What are you
gonna do with a cent? So he said
if I start if I start to give
all my money to all my brothers and
sisters in humanity,
you'll not get a cent. Okay? This will
be, like, 10 10 times what
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
