Nadim Bashir – Hadith of the Day #07 – Which Islam is the Best

			Salam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh Welcome to another segment of Hadith of the day, where we
take a quote of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa salam and we expand upon it.
		

			I want to share with you a hadith, a hadith that really is very important for us to understand
today. And not only that, but I want to also share with you a quote of another Sahabi or the Allah
Ananda is found in Sahih Bukhari. First of all, the Hadith I want to share with you today is a
Hadith narrated by Abdullah Abdullah Ahmed or the yellow time that a man came to the Prophet
sallallahu ala he goes to them and asked him a simple question that which Islam is the best. Now
when I asked you nothing about the problem is I'm being asked this question. Imagine if you were
asked this question that which Islam is the best, or which version of Islam is the best? How can you
		

			live Islam in the best way possible? There will be so many things that you and I will we will say,
and everyone would have something different to say, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he
responds to this question by saying that which Islam is the best, he says, that total remote time
what the Quran was salam, Ala Moana Arasta Warmerdam tarrif. That's it. These are two things. The
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he mentioned, the very first one is feeding those who are in
need feeding the hungry. Now in times like we are in today during this pandemic, and whether this
pandemic is going on or in sha Allah through inshallah we get through this pandemic, as soon as
		

			possible. We ask Allah subhanho wa taala, to bring us back to our masajid by the month of Ramadan in
sha Allah Amuro. But I mean, but no matter what the situation is, feeding those who are in need,
taking care of those people who are a need. brothers and sister this is one thing that we learned
from Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam looking after those people who are truly that horrid
neglected in society, you know, one of the things that we find in the seed of the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam is even before even before the Prophet SAW, he began to preach about the hate. One
of the very first things that we see that he took care of were those people who are neglected in
		

			society. And this is why you will see that there are many a hadith many a hadith, where the prophet
some he talks about the importance of fulfilling rights. The problem talks about the rights of those
who are the orphans, the rights of women, because at that time, women and their rights were
neglected women were treated like property, you talk about those who are widows, and there were
different people of the community who were neglected, abused, Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, he institutionalize rights for all these people, anyone who was neglected, no, they have
rights, anyone whose rights were taken away the problem, sudden we would implement the rights in
		

			society. So this is something that we really need to understand that having this nature, this caring
nature, that no matter if Allah has given me or not, I need to be the one giving back. And that
means that I need to go and participate in my, you know, soup kitchens, in my local food pantries.
And you know, a lot of times I really, you know, gets really frustrated at times, when we hear
people say that, Oh, the the service or the organization has to be a Muslim organization. You know,
subhanAllah the one thing that person has taught us in this hadith is, he's not saying that you only
help those who are Muslims, he says, help those who are in need. So this is why it is very
		

			important. I understand that nowadays, how the officials are telling us to apply social distancing.
But in general, we should be doing and partnering and joining hands with other charitable
organizations, and there are Muslim charitable organizations, we should work with them. But at the
same time, we should also work with other organizations, when we as a Muslim community, for when we
when we join hands with others, other faiths, other faith based community initiatives, then first of
all, we don't do it just because we want to bring them to Islam. We're doing this because Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the man that you and I we all admire, he's telling us to do this. So
		

			this is the very first thing that we learn from this hadith. The second thing the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, he says, what was salam ala man out of the woman, lamb tarrif that making salam to
those who you know and those who you don't know, you know, it is one of the things that we truly
value now. And it is sad that we when we were coming to the masjid, we will make
		

			Salam to each other we will see each other. Today Subhanallah we for most of us, we are deprived
from that. So I ask Allah subhanaw taala also to bring us back to the budget so we can be around
each other. But if we are a situation makes it out to everyone. You know this is why the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he says another Hadith, Allah do lucuma Allah che in either for ultimo
who Taha Baba tomb, you know, we always talk about that, what can we do to increase the love in the
community? What can we do to increase the love between each other? There probably some has given us
he has told us what we can do to do that. And he says, of Shu salaam, he says spread the salam to
		

			each other. And now there are in this hadith narrated by Abdullah Abdullah Ahmed are the Allah Tala.
And he says that spread to those spread this around to those who you know, and those who you don't
know. Now, how many times do we see this, I've seen this happening so many times and aches, my heart
it hurts me, when I see this happening, that four or five people will be standing together talking
to each other, and one person will come and make some only to one of them, because he knows only one
of them. The problem tells us makes them to everyone, whether you know them or not. Now, the there's
another quote of a Sahaba Villalta on whom this is from Ahmad ibn and yes, it will be Allah Tryon.
		

			And his quote is found in Sahara Behati. And it's very similar to the hadith of Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he says thanathorn that there are three things, man Gemma on Hoonah
fucka, the GEMA Iman, he says, uh, whoever has completed all these three things, or whoever has all
these three things in their life than they have completed faith. He says, number one insightful
enough sick, that fairness from yourself to others, meaning that if you're ever put in a situation
where you have to judge between who's right and who's wrong, being fair in all situations, and I
want to talk more about this Inshallah, in a short moment, then he says, What burn through Salah
		

			means.
		

			He says spreading the salam to the entire world. Now, this could mean to me too, this could have two
meanings either. This means that spreading the salaam, for example, in the Islamic context, when we
see each other making a Salam or Aleikum, or this could also mean that as a Muslim, you know, when
we are living in a city, the people around us in our community in our society, they should feel at
peace when we are in that society, when we are in that community. They know that if the Muslims are
there, they will come and we will and they will make sure that we are in a state of peace and
security, they will take care of us and they will look after us whenever we are in this situation.
		

			And Alhamdulillah nowadays, there are a lot of Muslim organizations, may Allah bless them immensely,
that they are going out of their way. You know, bringing food together, delivering at people's
homes, you know, irrespective of their religion, and they are doing so much May Allah, may Allah
bless them. But this is what the concept is of spreading that peace in the entire world. And then
I'm my vinyasa are the yellow.he also says that spending in charity, while even your poor, so mean
that in the situation like nowadays, people are losing their jobs, people their paychecks have been
cut, sometimes by a certain percentage, yet there are so going out of their way. And they're caring
		

			for those they know that even though yes, we are in need. There are people, other people who are
more in need than us and they're giving for the sake of Allah subhanho wa taala. See, it's easy to
give, when you have so much when times were great is easy to give. But when times get tough, then at
that time to give is very, very beloved to Allah subhanho wa taala. Now the last thing I want to
share today in this segment, is going back to what I'm mapping the asset, or Viola on who's he
mentioned, and that is an insolvent enough sick, being fair, from you know, being fair, or applying
fairness from yourself to others. You know,
		

			imagine you're put into a situation or you're called to make a judgment between two people. On one
hand, you have a person who is truly guilty, and on the other. On the other hand, you have another
person who's truly is innocent, but let's just say the if the person who's guilty happens to be your
very close friend, or keeping that friendship there is a personal interest for you, or there is some
benefit for you in keeping that friendship alive. I asked you in most cases, what do you think
people will do? The answer is very simple. People will generally take the side of their friend
because they are friends. They are friends.
		

			than the day that friendship means more to that person than applying justice. And the title I'm
going to hop out of the allotted line, I want to this story is always a really, it really shakes me
because this story really tells us that no matter what the situation was, and who it was almost able
to toggle the Ultron always taught us to apply justice and fairness. So there was he, as you all
know, according to Islamic history, when, during the time of the lava, he appointed many people into
different lands, and the person who he appointed it as the governor in Egypt, was on live and also
the allotted time. Now if you go back to one of our segments of Hadith of the day, I share with you
		

			a hadith of Omri, when asked of Yatta, and this was a Sahabi, who was close to the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So he was the governor in Egypt. And one of the, one of the hobbies of
the people of Egypt was horse racing. And it just so happened, that there was a race that took place
between the son of honorable nos whose name was Mohammed, and a Coptic Christian. And this person
also happy to be a slave. So in this while, you know, and Muhammad was a very expert horse racer,
generally he was not defeated. But it just so happened in this race, he was defeated. And after he
was defeated, because he felt like that he was humiliated. He got off his horse, and he took his
		

			whip and he lashed and he hit that, that Christian men. Now this Christian man was humiliated that
how can he publicly dishonor me in front of everyone, I mean, this is just wrong. I beat him fair
and square. And now he wants to lash me just because he feels like he is the son of the governor of
Egypt, and he's gonna get away with it. And so this is how he was treated, you know, beautifully.
What he does after that is he begins to go around the people in the city, and he says, Who will give
me justice, like if I go to the governor, and I complain to him, about his son, I don't think now,
it's not that I'm even asked to not do anything about it. But this Coptic Christian man is saying, I
		

			don't think he will do anything about it. I need to go to someone who has the higher authority. The
people in Egypt are saying that if you truly when justice and fairness, you have to go back to
Medina, and ask him or even a hotdog or the alotta and now let's stop here for a moment, let's think
about this. Imagine people I mean, honorable kebab is so fair in his matters, that people are
telling him that you go to Omar Nahata, and inshallah you'll find justice, how many are there? How
many people are there in our community today? Who people can say that about? Like, are there many
people in our community? Or is there anyone in our community, that people can say that you go to
		

			this brother, or you go to this sister, and no matter what the situation is, they will apply
justice, we have very few people in each community. This is not supposed to be the case, every
single person. Remember, ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala is watching brothers and sisters, Allah knows what's
in our heart, if I know deep down in my heart, that this person is truly guilty, no matter if
they're my friend, but if I'm going to stand by their side, than on the Day of Judgment, when Allah
is going to hold that person accountable, Allah is going to hold this person who is serving as a
judge in the situation, Allah will hold that person accountable to So anyway, this man, he comes all
		

			the way to Medina, he talks to I'm going to help out with the allotted time. And he says, Oh, I
mean, this is exactly what happened to me. I'm gonna hop out of the water, and he heard his entire
case. And he gave him a place of accommodation in Medina, for for a short amount of time. And during
that time, he sent a letter to amendment also Viola, and he says, I want you and your son to come to
Medina now. So they came to Medina. And
		

			Don, he calls Mohammed, the son of omnibus laws. And he says, is this exactly what happened? Now
see, once again, fairness has to be established. He's getting his side of the story to did this
happen or not? And I'm, and Muhammad says, yes, indeed, this happened. So what he did was he told
that, that slave, that there's a stick of mine, take that stick, and you strike him the way he
struck you. And so he took that, that stick and he struck him in front of everyone, in order to help
out didn't just do this behind closed doors. He did this in front of everyone to display the
importance of justice, that no matter what the situation is, even though that this guy is not a
		

			believer in Allah, but yet justice should be applied. And then after that, he told this slave this
this Christian man, that I want you to take the stick and put it on the head.
		

			Hi, I'm Ruben also the Alarcon. Now, you know, he was then confused. He says, I understand if you
told me to hit him back because he hit me first. But now you want me to put the stick on his head.
And on the Nepal, Bhutan, the message that he was trying to send was that, oh, I'm not even a us.
You know, just because you have a person in your society, he happens to be your family member, too.
But then because of this, you are sending this message to all your people, that if you they are
close to you, then they can hurt other people, and they'll get away with it. And then Omer Mahato he
says that all armor, armor, you treat this man and he's a slave. But he says, since when, since when
		

			have you began to make people slaves, when they are born from the mothers as free people mean that
you're treating them in such a way that it's not appropriate. And so not only not only did this
happen, but then when on top, he sent them back to to Egypt, he sent a bodyguard. Because see, once
again, someone can say that if they were if this Christian man was sent by himself to Egypt with
with Ahmed and his son, now we're not suspecting I mean, he's a Sahaba that they are moving us, we
will not suspect foul play on his part. But we're saying that naturally speaking, if anyone was in
this situation, then they will feel that some something harmful could happen to this Christian man.
		

			And so in this situation, I'm going I'm gonna Hakala Donnie appointed a bodyguard, to look after
this person till they get to Egypt. And this in itself was a very strong lesson sent to the people
of Medina. And not only that, but even sent to the people of Egypt. And so what we learned from the
story is in Soph, we learned the concept of being fair, you know, being you know, when we're judging
between two people, you know, applying fairness and all of our matters. And this applies in every
single situation, whether we are an employer and it comes to our employees, whether it's you know,
today's Subhanallah we live in a world where you have oppressors, oppressors leading countries and
		

			so forth, that they will back each other up and they will put down other people. When one when one
person who's doing wrong, they support another person who's doing something wrong. Both are going to
be hold accountable on the Day of Judgment. So this is why our deen teaches us to always be fair, in
all of our matters. I ask Allah subhanho wa Taala that once again, may Allah give us the ability to
first of all, spread the peace, be a source of peace for others, ask ALLAH SubhanA without to give
us ability to help his mankind to help his his mother look and to be there when they need and we ask
Allah subhanho wa Taala to give us the ability to practice the best version of Islam. I mean your
		

			blood I mean, does that come Allah Hi Assalamu alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
