Salam Alaikum Welcome to low heel middle Catherine.
Bistro no human or human have the leg of the Ottoman was to some other assuta him Hamid wala early he was a big marine was sitting with us today Monica here and Kathy Ramadasa Hannah Klarman. Allah Marlon tonight in the Gonzalo Hakeem proficiently so the Western really only one of them and it's only only about. So as I mentioned earlier that today we will be talking about those people who will be punished and not just punished but these are people that Allah subhanho wa Taala will not even look at on the day of judgment and just pause and just imagine that if Allah subhanaw taala is not even willing to look at a person on the Day of Judgment. How will this person received the Rama of
Allah subhanho wa taala? How will this person receive the rewards from ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada for his good actions. And not only that, but the most important thing that we need from ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada on the Day of Judgment is his mafia and his forgiveness. How can we be in that state? Or how these are the actions that if we are to commit, then Allah subhanho wa Taala will not even look at us. And if Allah is not even willing to look at us, then how will we receive the muffler of Allah subhanho wa taala. So we'll go through one of the each one of them one by one. The very first one is the people who do not give zakat, the people who do not give zakat. Now, first of all, is that when
it comes to our worldly matters when it comes to, for example, in this country, you know, every single year, there comes a time of the year where we have to pay our taxes or we go to our see our accountant, and so forth, and we go through an auditing. And the one thing to keep in mind is that today in this dunya you have auditors who come and they look at your finances, if you were to falsify information on your tax returns, today, you could probably get away today it is dunya there are so many people who want to work around the system. If the if they had their way people would work with cash in order to stay away from you know, giving an audit or giving a report of all their
financial reports. This is the dunya that we live in today. And today we might get away you can probably falsify information you lie about it. But on the day of judgment, the auditor is Allah so behind on what the Isla and nothing and nothing is going to be concealed from Allah subhanho wa Taala and so this is why is very very important that when it comes to hours, and hours that God is straight with Allah subhanho wa Taala how much Zakah do I need to take out if I don't know go and ask someone who knows about the matters of Zakat and let them find out for you let them tell you, if you have gold if you have silver according to mo Hanifa you give us a card but if you have wealth,
do not we have to keep in mind is that when it comes to our God, we cannot cheat Allah subhanho wa Taala if I need to give another extra $100 to make sure that my zakat manners are clean and they are straightforward, let it be but we should never just for a few dollars, we put ourselves in a difficult situation for the here in the hereafter Allah subhanho wa Taala he says that a one levena Yekini zunar The hubba wellfield Butter Wallah UniFi una haffi subete Allah for Bashir whom be either having a name Allah says in the Quran that those who hoard that gold and their silver when I go to people and a half isa beat Allah and they do not spend it and they do not
Give this a cut and did not spend it in the way of Allah subhanho wa taala. Allah says for Bashir, whom give them the glad tidings not of Jana, but give them the glad tidings of a horrifying punishment. And then Allah subhana wa then says yo mama your mama I lay her fee naughty Johanna for Taqwa Bihar. Jeeva whom was renewable one motherhood on and on the Day of Judgment, their money, their gold, their silver, everything that should have been paid zakat on all that wealth will be taken, it will be heated into the fire Jahannam and it will be branded and with this, their foreheads and their bags will be branded on the day of judgment. And this is why it is so important
that when it comes to our financial matters when it comes to our was like God, we give zakat on time we give zakat on time with the right amount. People have asked that what if I have not given the car for many years, then how can I make sure that I make my mom and dad straight with Allah subhanho wa Taala the best answer that is given by the ALMA is you estimate if you have financial records that you know, then that is the best thing that you can do go back to your financial records and find out but try to give and try to take orders that got money if you have not. Some people have asked regarding zakat I know I'm going on a tangent regarding fit but since the subject of Zakat is here,
I just want to answer some basic questions. Some people have asked What if I take out money every single month for its legal purposes. For example, it is right now the month of Muharram I'm takeout zakat I give zakat of $50. Next month I again I give the guy the $50 and when the time comes to give zakat, I have given almost let's say $1,000 throughout the year for God purposes. And when I sit down to calculate my zakat, my zakat money or the amount is coming out to be $1,200 Then can I only give $200 at that time? The answer is yes you can if you want but the most important thing is that when it comes to our financial matters, we are very straightforward with Allah subhanho wa taala. In
fact, there is a Hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam regarding those people who don't give zakat he says Allah He said there was salam there on the Day of Judgment, a huge ball snake with two black spots above its eyes and hear amongst the Arabs. They used to have this they have this understanding that a snake that has two that is bald number one, and has two black spots above his eyes. Those are the most vicious snakes, those are the most vicious snake. The Prophet Solomon says that his wealth will be taken which he was supposed to give his account upon, it will be put it in the form it will be created in the form of a huge bald snake. And this ball snake will be wrapped
around his neck on the Day of Judgment. This is once again for the person who does not give there's a God or they're not very particular in giving them. Once again, when it comes to our matters or financial matters. We need to be straightforward with Allah subhanho wa taala. The second person who will be punished on the Day of Judgment is the arrogant person. As we all know there's a hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, that the arrogant person is that person as a Prophet alayhi salam very and he has given two key characteristics of these people. Number one is bottled on Huck, welcome to NAS. These are the people who suppress the truth meaning what when the truth is shared
with them, they think they are above the truth and they suppress the truth. Number two is they put down other people they judge other people. So these are two things legislation in you know legislation which is determining what is right and what is wrong. What is Allah one from us what is the Huck what is the baton? This is a ride that belongs only to Allah subhanho wa Taala and being a judge being the ultimate judge, this this attribute also belongs only to Allah subhanho wa taala. This is why in the Quran we read Elisa law who be I mean, Hakimi is Allah not the ruler of all the rulers. So here when we are judging other people, this is something that only belongs to Allah
subhanho wa taala. And when there are attributes that belong only to Allah subhanho wa Taala and the human being he claims to have these two attributes. This is why the province says that anyone who has an Adam's weight of arrogance in their heart, they will not even they will not even sniff Jana mean that they will be so far away from Jana. This is why it's very important that we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to clean our hearts to keep our hearts clean. Because in one point of our life some way somehow we may have been arrogant. Sometimes we look down upon a brother, sometimes we may look down upon a sister, we might think that we are superior than another brother or sister and and
this is why
These kinds of things this this is called arrogance. And when this enters into the heart, it is very difficult to take out. This is why it's very important that if we have this, we clean our hearts. The problem is that Allahu Allah, he was telling me he says another Hadith that the arrogant will be gathered, the arrogant people will be gathered on the Day of Judgment, like small ants in the form of men on the Day of Judgment, overwhelmed and humiliated, and humiliation will come upon them from all sides. Now, here the Hadith of the Prophet, some simply mentioned, that just like small ants, today, we walk upon small ants, no one cares about small ants. No one cares about their position. No
one cares about what they are and who and what they do. Likewise, these people who are arrogant, who used to feel that we are something they would go into a crowd and they felt like we are the most important part of the crowd, I am better than everyone on the Day of Judgment, they will be the most literal and they will be belittled on the Day of Judgment, how they used to behave in this dunya the complete opposite will what will happen with them on the Day of Judgment, the third person, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he mentions, this is originally in the Quran when Allah talks about suppressing the truth, hiding the truth, concealing the truth. He used to talk about the Jews
and the Christians that Yehuda NESARA pika, this is exactly what they used to do. They were given the book of Allah subhanho wa taala. For for dunya purposes, for for, for purposes of money, for purposes of name and fame, for purposes of keeping themselves connected with the wrong crowd. These people were such that they used to suppress, they used to hide, they used to conceal the teachings of the Quran, from Allah subhanho wa taala, or the teachings of their book, whether it was the Torah or the injeel. And because of this, Allah subhanaw taala. He mentioned about this in the Quran as a lesson for the OMA of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Allah says in the Quran, in the Levina,
yesh Taruna br Had Allah He was a man he him feminine Kalina, those who conceal what Allah Subhana Allah has set down of the book and they purchase a small game through which they eat into, they put it into their bellies, into their bellies, they put nothing but the fire of Allah subhanho wa Taala that Allah says, Allah when a young guru whenever you call him whom Allah Who Yama Yama tea, when I use a key him Allah subhanho wa Taala says that Allah will not even talk to them, and Allah will not purify them mean that Allah will not even give them any attention, or he will not praise Him for anything good that they may have done. But for them, they will be a very severe torment or in a very
severe punishment in the hereafter. Now for us Muslims, how do we understand this? Yes, this is talking about Bani Israel, even though this was talking about their previous nations. But if in our times today, if we conceal the truth, if I conceal the truth so that I can benefit from this dunya when we conceal the truth, and we don't share the truth with someone, because how they would feel if I shared the truth with someone, they're going to be offended, who cares how they feel we have to share with other people. We have to understand what Allah wants from us, and what the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he wants from us. In fact, there's another ayah in the Quran where Allah
says in the Nadine Ah, there's gonna be I didn't know he was a man to him feminine Alina. Hola. Hola. Hola. Hola. These people who suppress the truth, they conceal the truth. Allah says there is nothing for them in the hereafter Wallah. You can only Muhammad Allah, Allah will not even talk to them. Allah will not even talk to them, wala Yun, la him and Allah will not even look at them. And so this is why we don't want to ever put ourselves in that kind of situation. Now here in this ayah of the Quran, Allah subhanaw taala has mentioned these are the people that Allah will not look at, and people that Allah will not even talk to. But there are other hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, for example, he says that there are three people that Allah will not speak on the Day of Judgment. The very first one.
He says, I think he said there was salam. He repeated his three times and then he says, The one who lets his garment hang down below his ankles, the one who lets his garment hanging below his ankles. The second one is the one who sells his good by the means of false oaths. I swear, I swear this is a clean product. I swear in fact, I'll share some other Hadith with you that this also means that when you swear that this is this is the right or not the right price. You can sell anything at any price you want. But when you swear about other matters regarding this purchase that are false if you
make any promises that are false, then this is a person that will not be that ALLAH SubhanA will not want to see on the day of judgment and the one who reminds others of his favor. Brother Do you remember I did I did you a favor today I need your I need your help. When we help people out when we give something we give it for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala when I help someone, I help for the sake of Allah subhanho wa taala. Today in our, in our cultures, it is very well known within our cultures is that if I if I invite someone to my home, that I'm always expecting something from them, I'm always expecting a an invitation from their house. If I invite someone to my house, it is for
the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala this is what it means a loss in class is not only applied to the to your salon or to your scar or to your teen hour, but a class applies to every single thing. When we do something for someone it has to be done for the sake of Allah subhanho wa taala. In another Hadith narrated by Abdullah on the authority of Abdullah or the Allah Tron, he says that whosoever swears an oath in which he is lying, in order to take a Muslims wealth unlawfully, he will meet Allah in a state that Allah is going to be angry with him. So when it comes to our matters, especially in this dunya, especially when it comes to the Muslim world, subhanAllah you'll be
shocked. I mean, we all are very familiar with this, that when it comes to dealing with Muslims, I mean, there are so many stories, there are so many experiences that people have that when it comes to money, Muslims, we are we have this reputation. So how long have we had this reputation, our society that do business with a non Muslim, but don't do business with a Muslim, unfortunately, we have this in our society. And it's not that every single person who's out there, and who's doing business of any sort, they all are guilty of this. But unfortunately, we as Muslims ourselves, we have brought this reputation upon ourselves. We have done this to ourselves. I mean, it's so behind
law, I don't I don't want to say which country I went to, we pass by a bizarre, and they were and I was told that Pete It is very well known in this society that you don't want to come here and do business. It is not. It is not a predominant Muslim country. By the way. It is not a predominantly Muslim country, but they in that one area, there are Muslims who are doing business over there. And people have been spreading that if you want to do business stay away from this area, because most of them are very deceitful when it comes to their business. When it comes to business, we cannot cheat each other. We have to be very straightforward when it comes to our business. Today, I may cheat
someone on the Day of Judgment, I cannot cheat Allah subhanho wa Taala I cannot say Allah subhanho wa taala. And if we were on the wrong end, by chance, if we were on the even on the wrong end, someone does learn with us. Then always remember that one day justice will be served, you have the choice you can either forgive them, you can let it go. Or if you want justice, justice will be served one day, but on the other this is why even in the books of FIP there is so much mentioned between the batter in the machete, the seller and the the seller and the buyer, the dialogue that takes place between these two people how they need to be truthful and honest with each other. Imam
Abu Hanifah Rahmatullah Ali, before he became a scholar, he was a cloth merchant. And one thing that we learned from the books of from his books and from his stories is that when people would come to buy clothes from him, he was he would always tell them, that this these are the good things, the good qualities of this fabric, and this is the the cons of this fabric. This is the shortcoming of this fabric, he was so honest in his in his dealings. So this is why when it comes to our matters, unfortunately, in our society, there are so many people who are being deceitful. Unfortunately, the mechanics have had been the one who have been taking the blame of every single thing. The stories of
the mechanics, the story of the Muslim mechanic is very well known in our societies. But overall, there's a lot of deceit within our own communities. But this is why it is very important that if we have deceived, we have been deceitful towards someone. Allah will be angry with us on the Day of Judgment and we don't want Allah to be angry with us on the Day of Judgment, another Hadith the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he mentioned that there are three people that Allah will not speak on the Day of Resurrection, He will not praise them or look at them, and theirs will be the painful torment me that they will get a painful punishment. Allah subhanaw taala the very first one,
the old man who commits Zina the number two the second person, the King, who tells lies, the king who tells lies the leader who tells lies, and they manipulate other people. And the fourth the third one is a poor man who is arrogant. In other Hadith the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he says that there are three people that Allah will not look on the day
judgment, the one who disobeyed his parents, the one who disobeys his parents, the one who is disrespectful to their parents. The second one, the one, the woman who imitates men. And the third one is the do youth. You know where the youth is? At the youth is that man who sends his sister his wife sends he sends them out beautifies them so that other people can look at them, so that other people can look at them. These are three people that Allah subhanaw taala will not look at on the Day of Judgment. Another Hadith the Prophet SAW Psalm says that Allah will not look at the one who drags his Garmin out of pride in other Hadith promises. So when he says that whosoever drags his
garment out of pride, that Allah will not look at them on the Day of Judgment. Now, one thing here I do want to say about this quickly, is that, first of all, this this sin of lowing the garment below the ankles is something that is well known in the hadith of a Suazo Allahu alayhi wa sallam. However, there's one thing to keep in mind here, you know, when it comes to a pseudo fake, when it comes to the laws of film, there is something called a an ALA. So meaning that there is a reason. So, there is a reason why this is why there is a hook on the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he mentioned that the reason why the reason why lowing the garment is so is such as such despised by
Allah subhanho wa taala. Because long time ago, during the time of the Prophet Solomon during during that time, the kings and the rulers, they will drag their dresses, they were dragged their clothes on the ground, out of pride, they felt like this is the My way of showing my supreme superiority. Now in this day and age if someone's garment is lower than their ankles, and of course, we all know that in this day and age is not done out of pride. The Allama have said that because the reason is not there, the fulcrum is not there. In Arabic we no sort of fit is known as the phrase is called fat, the short felt and muscled, okay, if the short is not there, that what comes because what comes
after the condition, the fulcrum that comes with that. That's why the fulcrum is not there, if a person lowers their garment, and because we don't do it out of pride, is that something that people wear today, because it's not done out of pride. That's why today many people say that is not haram. Now, the orlimar have also mentioned that because we need to respect the hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, we need to respect the power of some Hadith, the best course of action once again, the best course of action is to keep your pants above the ankles at all times. That is the best course of action, because these are the Hadith Roswaal. So Allahu alayhi wa sallam, at the
same time, from OSU fit point of view, because we are not lowing the garments out of pride. If the garment does come below the ankle mean that for example, you're wearing jeans, or you're wearing pants, and you wear your shoes and depends become below the ankles. It is not that you're committing haram because it's not done out of arrogance, times have changed, the culture has changed. And it's not done out of pride anymore. It's not done out of arrogance anymore. So this is what the old I might have mentioned, the next person on the Day of Judgment that Allah subhanho wa taala, as a hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu, it was mentioned that those who have the most will have the least
on the Day of Resurrection mean that the people who have the most amount of wealth, they will be they will have the least on the Day of Judgment, except for those upon whom Allah bestowed wealth. And they started giving it away, left and right, front and back. And they use it to do good now. There are many, I'm sure I'm very, very sure that especially I mean, you hear these kinds of Buzz time after time. And I remember when I was a kid, I used to hear these buzz overseas quite a bit. That is almost a crime. This was very careful. It was almost a crime, to have a lot of wealth. Okay. There are so many homeless I used to hear when I was a kid, that if you have money, you're going to
jahannam okay, if you have if you're a wealthy class, you're done. You have no room of Allah subhanho wa Taala and so forth. And as I grew up, I used to always ask this question to myself the why is that what's the harm? Or what's the crime in becoming rich? Okay, now, first of all, is that there are a few things to keep in mind. Number one is that people who have first of all, there's how you thought as well so Allahu alayhi wa sallam that none of us none of us. It doesn't matter how pious we are. None of us can fill our bellies meaning that we will never feel content with what we have. No anelli Ibni either my worthy I'm in the heaven, a hub the Anaconda Where do you have one
value of gold you want two values of gold, you have five you want 10 You have one gas station. You want two gas stations. You have one business you want to make it fiber
It says you have one clinic, you want to have five clinics, it's everywhere, okay, it's everywhere. So, this is how we are and this is how we have been programmed, how at the same time, what do we do learn is that the more a person strives in many cases, in many cases, a person slowly and gradually because of their, because of their aggressive approach and they're so aggressive to collect more and more, in many cases, they began to neglect their responsibilities to Allah subhanho wa Taala that happens in some in many cases, number one, number two is when a person becomes so greedy of wealth, that a lot of times this person does not worry about whether this this wealth is coming from coming
from a halal Halal source or from a haram source. In many cases, people are disciplined, but at the same time, there are many people who are not. Last thing is a Draheim, an alpha the Allah Tron, who was he was a companion of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and the ashram Bashara mean that he was one of those 10 people who were given the glad tidings of Jannah in this dunya was he wealthy was he rich, extremely rich, extremely rich. And he was, you know, he was very quick on his feet. He knew how to make money. I mean, he knew how to make money. When he came to Medina, when he came to Medina, he was attached with an unsightly companion. And he said, I'm sorry, companion said that I'm
drama and I'll give you this, this and this and he says, No, you know what, it's fine. I'm gonna go to the marketplace, I will buy and I will sell and I will make my own money. And very quickly, he made his money he made one, he made two out of one and four out of two. And he just, you know, he just, you know, he just he just became rich. One day he came inside the budget number we and he has something on his forehead, something that yellowish on his forehead. And it was a sign that this person just got married and promises some set up drama drama already. Like you just came to Medina. People are still struggling. They're trying to get on their feet and you have done this already.
This is why I heard some people saying that the Romanov was amendment companion I'm just saying because he had a lot of money anyway, just a joke. But nonetheless, the Romanov was extremely intelligent here a lot of money. I should have the alotta and she says that after the death of us Lhasa Allahu alayhi wa sallam, there was a huge commotion in Medina. Someone is coming in, everyone is running. They see the drama and have has come inside Medina with a lot of camels. First of all, a camel is very expensive. A camel in Arabia is very expensive. How much is the camera? Anyone? Nowadays? How much is it? 100,000. Okay, so here, Dr. Muhammad,
Muhammad Muhammad. Dr. Mahmoud is saying $100,000 For one camel. You're talking about according to one of the WIA 100 camels. Okay. So that's, that in itself is how much already?
That's how much
okay, then on top of that, he has merchandise upon each camel. He has luggage, he has bought things he has merchandise is not empty camos each one of them has something on there. He has come inside Medina to buy and sell.
I should have the alotta and she says that sent him send him a message from me that while all his companions will be walking into Jannah he will be crawling into Jannah. Now what does that mean? That means that while all of his other companions will be going into Jannah, he will be delayed, he will be delayed. Because according to the highest Roswall saw salon, every person will be asked for every single thing that they spend money on. So the more you have, the more accountability on the Day of Judgment. The more you have, the more accountability. If there's more accountability, then there's going to be a delay right. So while your companions aren't walking into Jana, you are
crawling into Jana. What did he do when he heard this? These were people that Allah gave them so much, but at the same time, the akhira was always number one for them. I came first dunya came second and all matters. At that time of the Mohammed mouth he gave everything for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala he put everything into sadaqa this is what you call number one generosity. But number two is putting the aka knowing your priorities. Generally when people they they run towards the dunya they run towards dunya then they usually lose their priorities they lose focus on your priorities once again, I'm not saying that becoming rich is a crime if you want to become rich, any
person can become rich, but at the same time not at the expense of the Quran, the Sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, and at the expense of your akhira as long as a person you keep that in mind, then everything is absolutely fine. We'll go in and stop right here inshallah. In fact, let me just cover one more thing in sha Allah the second the fifth person is the person who
who betrayed others.
People, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he says, when Allah gathers the first and the last on the Day of Resurrection, a banner will be raised for every betrayal. And it will be said, this is the betrayer. of so and so and the son of so and so now, it was a practice amongst the Arabs, that whenever you want to get the attention of other people, you will put up a banner, you will put up a banner, that this is the person like long time ago, the people who used to be the cheaters, people who would like commit, theft and fraud and so forth. They used to be a banner, even in the days of hide, they used to be a banner that beware of these people. So at this time, Allah subhanaw, saying
that on the Day of Judgment Day of Judgment, there'll be a banner that these are the people who betrayed now betray here is a very common, betrayed could be in any sense. It could be in any sense. Anyone who betrays me when it comes to money, anyone who's a leader and you betray your people, anyone who's been given authority and you betrayed other people, when when someone gives you something, and you betray that trust, any type of betrayal, that means even fraud, because when you commit fraud, You are betraying someone, when you're so any person who has committed a crime of this type. Then it said that on the Day of Judgment, there there will be a banner and all these people
who used to betray all these people who were thieves, all these people who were, who were who used to commit fraud, all these people that we put into one place and everyone will recognize that these are the people who are who have committed this kind of crime and Allah subhanaw taala will be angry and upset with these people. So we will go in and start right here. We have few other people that are left inshallah we will cover this next week. I ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to give us the ability to do that which is right to stay away from that which is wrong. May Allah subhanho wa Taala
forgive us for our sins, our shortcomings, may Allah subhanho wa Taala make us from amongst the races amongst him with Hakuna Matata and on the Day of Judgment. May Allah subhana makers from amongst those who are the beneficiaries of the shefa Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam May Allah subhanho wa Taala make us amongst those who received the Rama of Allah subhanaw taala the judgment, the multitude of ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala on the Day of Judgment, that the law and the happiness of Allah subhanho wa Taala and the judgment and may Allah make us amongst those who are entered into Jannah be doing a hisab without any accountability. mean does that Kamala Hey, it, said Omar they
