Navaid Aziz – 40 Hadith of Imam Nawawi – Episode 16

			Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim in Alhamdulillah hinomoto and steinhorn istockphoto when I was a villa
human jewelry and fusina woman sejati Amina Maria de la dama De La da da da da wa Chateau de la la
la hora de cada wa Chateau Ana Mohammed Abdullah Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa ala alihi wa
sahbihi wa seldom at the Sleeman kathira My bad, my dear brothers and sisters Mr. de la barakato
		

			so we're going to continue our discussion on the amendment no is 40 Hadith and we have reached
Hadith number 12 and Abu huraira Torah the Allahu anhu called cada Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam main person in Islam in Mali Takuma Yanni Hassan, Hassan Allah who told me the wahoo Hakata
on the authority of Abu huraira the Allahu anhu said the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said, part of the perfection of one's Islam is leaving that which is of no concern to him has
been Hadith recorded by a Timothy and others in that fashion.
		

			Now starting off with this, Heidi from Amanda no yahama Hola. This Hadith was actually considered
one of the foundations of manners. So when we talk about manners in Islam, scholars generally
revolve the discussion of manners in Islam, around four Hadith. So there was a famous Maliki scholar
by the name of Eben Abizaid, Eben Abizaid. He said, all of Islamic manners revolve around four
Hadith revolve around four Hadith. And this was one of the Hadith that he stated that from the best
of one's Islam or from the professional ones, Islam is leaving that which does not concern him. The
other three Hadith that he added to the discussion where that none of you will truly believe to love
		

			for your brother, what you love for yourself. And then the Hadith that whoever believes in Allah
subhana wa tada and the last day, should speak good or remain silent. And then the last Hadith that
he mentions, is the hadith of I will just have to look this up is the Hadith of the man who came to
the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and he said, O Messenger of Allah advised me and
the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam advised him Do not get angry, he asked him again
advisement. He said, Do not get angry, he has no third time advise me, and he says, Do not get
angry. So it will not be Zaid, he concludes from this Hadith, that this is a hadith that all the
		

			manners of Islam revolve around other scholars, when they looked at this Hadith, they said that this
hadith is half of Islam. And the way that they were looking at it from was that Islam is one of two
things. It is either refraining from something or it is either proactively doing something. And here
the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is mentioning that refrain from everything that
is of no benefit to you, that is absolutely useless to you. And then other scholars said that this
hadith is actually Islam in its in its totality. And they continued from what the previous scholars
they said that if you were to leave everything that is of no benefit, what does that leave you with?
		

			Only things which are of benefit, and that is what Islam is chasing those things, and benefiting
yourselves with those things that are of benefit. So this hadith was actually considered a very
crucial Hadith, when it came to implementation of manners when it came to a way that a Muslim will
conduct themselves. Now, while this introduction seems, you know, grand or one of the problems is
that this hadith is actually a weak Hadith, this hadith is actually a weak Hadith. You know, notice
that this had if it comes from two chains of narration that might be acceptable. One chain of
narration is the one that is mentioned by Timothy and this is the one that Mr. Manohar mohalla uses
		

			over here. But the problem with this chain of narration is that there's an individual by the name of
quarter Robin Abdur Rahman, who was actually graded weak, he's actually graded weak and that's what
makes the chain of narration weak. A second chain of narration from the other many chain of
narration that might be considered acceptable as the narration that is found in the Moto vema medic
from Ali, Abdullah Hussein Abner Ali, the great grandson of the Messenger of Allah sent him who
narrates his Hadith, but he skips the Sahaba that narrated the Hadith, and that makes the Hadith
Muslim. Now even though the Hadith morsel is one of the most authentic types of the weak Hadith, it
		

			still makes the Hadith weak. So in actuality, this is a weak Hadith. Now, why are we going to be
discussing this Hadith of the Hadith this week. Now, while this hadith may be weak in terms of its
totality, meaning that it doesn't have a strong chain of narration, the meaning of the Hadith is
actually true. So there is another attack authentic hadith where the Messenger of Allah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, he tells us, it hurts other Mayan folk, that chase those things that which are
beneficial for you. Meaning the exact opposite of what this hadith is mentioning, that this event is
leaving off that which is of no benefit.
		

			mahoma Mahadeva the opposite of this hadith is chase those things that are of benefit to you. And
that is why you'll notice that scholars spend time discussing this Hadith, that even though the
Hadith will know itself with its chain of narration may not be acceptable, the meaning of the Hadith
actually is acceptable, the meaning of this hadith actually is acceptable. Now, let us get into the
wording of this hadith let us get into the wording of this hadith. From the wording of this hadith
the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam talks about the perfection of one's faith, men
personal Islam and mark that from the perfection of one's faith. Now, you'll notice that this term,
		

			it reoccurs, quite a few times, and various other ahaadeeth and these other ahadith they draw to
something very, very important that it is this concept of striving to perfect one's faith that
actually multiplies one's rewards, and minimises one since, How so? So in other iterations, you'll
find that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, that whoever strives to perfect
their faith, that Allah subhanho wa Taala will multiply their good deeds by 10. up to 700 times
their good deeds will be multiplied. And as for their sins, they will only be written down as once
until he meets Allah subhanho wa Taala. Similarly, the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa
		

			sallam talked about those individuals that converted into Islam, that the Messenger of Allah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says that all of their previous deeds will be pardoned and forgiven, as
long as we continue to strive to perfect their faith. And if they do not do so, then that is when
Allah subhanho wa Taala will hold them accountable for their previous sins, as well as finally Santa
will hold them accountable for the previous sins as well. So this is like a common misconception
that people think that anyone that enters into the fold of Islam, they have a blank slate. This is
not absolutely true. This statement only becomes absolutely true if this person strives to perfect
		

			their faith. So if someone says the Shahada, and they make no effort in living off the sins that
they were doing before, it's not going to erase all the sins that he did previously. However, when
the person accepts Islam and he strives to perfect their faith, then that is when Allah subhanaw
taala will not hold them accountable for the previous sins that they did. And the good deeds that he
did prior to Islam. Allah subhanho wa Taala will count them as good deeds in Islam as well, Allah
subhanho wa Taala will count them in good deeds in Islam as well. Now, this leads us into a tangent
of a discussion. How about the individual that leaves Islam and comes back to Islam? Okay, so we
		

			have a person x y, Zed. This person, you know, he was a good Muslim for a long time, was praying
five times a day giving his sadaqa and doing all sorts of other good deeds. But then he had a crisis
of faith. You know, he no longer cared about his Eman. He was hanging around in Bad Company, and his
demand just plummeted to the degree that you know, it didn't exist anymore. Some time goes by again,
he finds his faith again, he accepts Islam again. What happens to that person's good deeds? What do
you guys think? Go ahead.
		

			Come back.
		

			His his good deeds will be accepted. But how about the verse in the Quran where Allah subhana wa
tada says that whoever commits shared with Allah subhanho wa Taala, then all of his deeds are nolin
destroyed. What will you say about that verse?
		

			Okay, indirectly or directly, you're correct, and that's good. hamdulillah. So the point being that
as long as a person doesn't die in that state, where they've committed disbelief with Allah subhanho
wa Taala and denied Islam, then there's always hope for that individual, right? If a person dies in
a state of disbelief, then that is a big, big problem. However, if in his lifetime, the person
committed disbelief, and he came back to Allah subhanaw taala then Allah subhanho wa Taala will
still forgive this individual and will still accept the good deeds that he committed prior to his
disbelief. And this is one of the beautiful aspects of our relationship with Allah Spanos Allah,
		

			that Allah subhanho wa Taala. He doesn't expect us to be perfect, right? Allah subhanaw taala knows
that we're going to commit sins, Allah subhanaw taala knows that we're going to fall short. And as
long as we're willing to admit our mistakes, as long as we're willing to try hard and rectify our
ways, then the doors for Toba are always open from Allah subhanaw taala, the Messenger of Allah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he tells us that Allah looks at the one at the center of the night. If
he repents during the day, then Allah Subhana Allah will forgive him and he looks at the center of
the day that if he seeks forgiveness at night, then Allah subhanaw taala will forgive him, the
		

			Messenger of Allah so I sent him he tells us that if the slave of Allah subhana wa tada was to come
with as many sins as there is form on top of the ocean, Allah subhana wa
		

			Tyler will still be willing to forgive this person, as long as they didn't commit shift with Allah
subhanho wa Taala and die in that state. Allah subhanho wa Taala each and every single night, he
comes down to the lowest heavens. And he asks, Are any of my slaves asking for forgiveness, that I
may forgive them. And this is the beginning part of this Hadith, the concept of perfecting one's
faith. Meaning that this, this concept of pursuit of perfection is a lifelong mission, that you will
never reach a state where a person has perfected their faith, there is no such thing where a person
will have, you know, absolute complete, yes, and at all times, it's just not possible. But your
		

			faith will be waver, and you need to keep pursuing that. And that is what this concept of perfection
of faith is all about, then, as long as you're willing to struggle for your faith, as long as you're
willing to hold on to it and go through all the trials and difficulties, then Allah subhanho wa
Taala will be willing to forgive you for all the mistakes that you make along the way, we'll be
willing to forgive you for all of the mistakes that you make along the way,
		

			leaving that which is of no concern to him, leaving that which is of no concern to him. There's two
elements to look at this from, number one, what is it mean leaving those matters that are of no
concern to him? A lot of people think that this hadith is telling us that we need to mind our own
business at all times. This is not true. But rather the Sharia is telling us and this hadith is
telling us that we need to look at what the Sharia considers beneficial and doesn't consider
beneficial. So what you may consider beneficial may not be considered beneficial by the shittier.
And likewise, what the Cydia considers beneficial, you may consider insignificant. So when this
		

			hadith is meant to be understood, it's meant to be understood in the under the guidelines of the
Sharia. So let's take some practical examples. So an individual comes up to you. And he says, You
know what, I'm having some problems with my wife, and I don't know what to do.
		

			Your reaction may be you know what, brother, look, that's none of my business, just keep it to
yourself. islamically, that's not correct. The Messenger of Allah Azza wa sallam, he tells us that
when a brother comes asking you for advice, you have to give the best advice that you can offer.
This is part of his right upon you. Or likewise, you see an individual on the street, he's Muslim,
he's committing a sin, and you have a good relationship with him. So you think yourself, you know
what, it's none of my business what he is doing, no, rather it is your business, this is a close
friend of yours, he's going down the path of destruction, it is your responsibility to stop him if
		

			you can, and at the very least, if not advise him, that is what you should be doing. So those are
within the guidelines of the shittier than what the Sharia considers significant, you should be
considering significant as well. And where the media tells you not to get involved, then you
shouldn't be getting involved. So that is one element of it. Now, what are the elements that the
shadow refers to, that we shouldn't get involved in? Now, there are three key elements that the
Sharia recommends, that we should not get involved in. And I want to discuss this in a little bit of
detail. Number one, in speech that does not concern us in speech that does not concern us. You'll
		

			notice a lot of the times in an age where we're encouraged to express our thoughts. A lot of the
times we'll end up saying things and typing things, and mentioning things which have absolutely no
benefit whatsoever, right. So there's nothing wrong with partaking in sports in you know, keeping
active in and following sports, but to make that you know, your life on Facebook and your life on
Twitter that all you do is constantly hound these players and look up statistics and see who's
winning and who's losing so much so that it becomes a distraction for you, then this is what the
Shetty recommends that we leave behind that when you become a fanatic in any form that the Shelia
		

			does not, you know recommend, then that is the these are the type of things that a person should
stay away from. So that is the speech that is of no benefit whatsoever. So each and every single
thing that we say that we type that we mentioned on Facebook, Twitter and any other form of social
media, we want to think that you know, when the statement is presented to Allah subhana wa tada? Is
it going to bring us the pleasure of Allah subhanho wa Taala? Or is it going to bring the anger of
Allah subhana wa tada? Or is it just something useless? That it neither brings the pleasure nor does
it bring the displeasure of Allah subhanaw taala pertaining to those things that amendment no your
		

			human law says that there is no clear benefit, nor is there any clear harm in it is better to stay
away from that type of speech. It is better to stay away from that type of speech. Why? Because he
says that permissible speech is what leads to impermissible speech. And one of the you know,
predecessors one of the ascetics of the past. He says one of the most problematic questions you can
ever ask is How is so and so doing? So this is a very genuine question that you know, you haven't
seen someone in a long time. So you ask someone you know, how is so and so doing? It seems
		

			A very innocent question inherently permissible. But you'll notice that it is these sort of
questions that instigate the backbiting of an individual, you know, you start talking about that
individual's personal life, all the problems that they're having all the things that he doesn't want
you to talk about, you end up talking about. So you will notice that even how a permissible question
can lead to something so destructive, you know, dishonouring, your brother saying things at home
that he doesn't like backbiting him, which becomes a major sin in Islam. So that is the element of
speech, that is the element of speech. The second element that a Muslim should not concern himself
		

			with his the things that he looks at the things that he looks at. Now, you'll notice that Allah
subhanho, wa Taala. And so to know, he tells us in two separate verses, verses 30 and 31, that tell
the believing men and tell the believing woman to lower their gaze to lower from their gaze, sorry,
I know who do min decided that they should lower from their gaze. Now, what does this actually mean?
Why should an individual lower from their gaze? So here, Allah subhanaw taala is telling us that you
don't need to be lowering your gaze at all times, because he says lower from your gaze, he doesn't
say absolutely lower your gaze, that's the first thing that needs to be understood. So there are
		

			certain things that you should be conscious of, of what's going on in front of you, that you should
be looking at those things that will bring you closer to Allah subhanho wa Taala, you should be
doing right. So those are the things you should be engaged in, then what are those things that you
shouldn't be engaged in everything else, that those things that aren't going to bring you closer to
Allah subhanho wa Taala that is what you should close, you know, lower your gaze to. And this will
fall under two types of categories. The first type of category is looking at the opposite gender,
looking at the opposite gender, this creates a desire on the inside. And you'll notice that the
		

			scholars of Islam actually differentiated on the ruling for this between men and women. They said
that women only need to lower their gaze, if there is a desire involved. So if a woman sees someone
that she's attracted to, then at that time, it becomes mandatory for her to lower her gaze. Whereas
for the men, they said, the status quo the general case scenario, is that he should lower his gaze,
until he is absolutely definitely sure that there is no possibility that he's going to feel any
attraction to the opposite gender. So you have like an auntie who's like 85 years old, you know, no
teeth, he's going like a mustache, you know, inshallah, it's pretty sure you're not going to be
		

			feeling any form of attraction. And that's why you'll see that it has different guidelines, that if
she, Pat's, you on the back, she wants to give you a hug, she wants to shake your hand, it's not
like you're shaking the hand of a 20 year old girl, someone that you're attracted to, right, it's
completely different scenario. So this is from the aspect of the opposite gender, that you will
notice that when an individual does not fight off, lowering their gaze towards the opposite gender,
this actually has a very adverse effect, particularly on the man's psyche, particularly on the man's
psyche, that it will become such a distraction for him that she thought will use this against him,
		

			even in his salon. So she thought is always looking for things to distract you within his salon.
When you don't lower your gaze, you're automatically article automatically accepting the bait from
shaitaan. Because when the very first things that she thought will come to you, hey, do you remember
that girl that you looked at today? That's the very first thing that he'll come to you with. And
then you'll notice that this process continues, then a person continues to stop lowering their gaze,
until they consider trivial they're like, you know, what's the big deal? I can control myself, she
thought deludes them even further. And then it eventually leads to look at things which are hard on
		

			looking at things which are hard on. So you'll notice that when the Shinya gives these guidelines of
lowering the gaze towards the opposite gender, it's towards protecting ourselves in Allah subhanho
wa Taala doesn't get anything out of us lowering our gaze, but rather Allah subhanho wa Taala,
knowing us blessed, he knows that we should lower our gaze in order to protect ourselves in order to
protect ourselves, because this is what is pure for our eyes, and pure for our minds, particularly
as a man, whatever you expose your eyes to, is what is constantly going to be on your mind. So if
you don't expose your mind your eyes to those things, then those things won't enter your mind, nor
		

			will they enter your heart and you will be protected by the Allahu taala. So that is from the aspect
of dealing with the opposite gender. Then the second aspect of lowering from the gaze, is those
things that a person will naturally covet. So each and every one of us will have something that will
naturally cover it. So for one person, he wants a really nice, fancy car, another one wants a fancy
house. Another one wants a fancy technological gadget, and everyone wants a fancy watch, each one of
us will have our weaknesses. So from those things, the Messenger of Allah sentiment Allah subhanaw
taala did tell us even to lower our gaze from those sorts of things, that a person becomes
		

			distracted and chasing those things fairly to realize what a distraction they are. Because let us
just say, you were to get the object that you covered and that you desire, more will that lead to
that
		

			Will an object benefit you in front of Allah subhanho wa Taala will protect you in the grave? No, it
won't. But rather it becomes a distraction and actually becomes a source of sorts of misery in most
cases, because once you get it, you'll want the next best thing you'll never be sufficed. With that
which you desired. And you got, right, you always keep desiring those things that you can't have. So
that is the second element, which is the lowering of the gaze, one towards the opposite gender, and
two towards those things that you covet and desire from this world. And then the third source of the
third sort of things that you should not busy yourself with, is the business of other people, the
		

			information about other people. And you'll notice that in our day and age, this has become like a
multi billion dollar industry, that you look at tabloid magazines. It's all about, you know, what's
happening in the lives of pop stars, who's doing drugs, who got arrested, who got divorced, you
know, what did they name their child, like, I still remember, this is like one of the funniest
things when they had,
		

			you know, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, when they were naming their child, it was like this big
fiasco, you know, they're naming their child Northwest, you know, that was the Commedia prank.
That's like the stupidest thing that you could ever think of, you know, they've like destroyed their
child's life, by naming him Northwest right now. But that was like on the cover of like, every
single tablet, you're standing in line at the grocery store, you're looking at the headlines. And
that's like, on the cover of everything. And this shows us that, you know, shaytan, he uses that
culture that Allah subhanho wa Taala doesn't want us to have of just minding your own business. So
		

			here you have other people's business being propagated to you that you should be interested in it,
you know, you're not going to be trendy if you don't know what's going on, in this person in these
people's lives. But here unless I know what Dan is, and His Messenger, so I saw them were they're
telling us the exact opposite. That if you want to have a high status with Allah subhanho wa Taala,
then be someone that minds their own business. You know, if someone else is talking about a personal
matter, try not to become inquisitive about it, you know, it's very difficult that you hear two
people whispering you want to know what they're talking about. But if it doesn't concern, you, let
		

			it be for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala. When other people are talking about other people's
business, if you have the ability to tell them to stop, do so if you don't have the ability to do so
leave that gathering, leave that gathering all together, that is going to be pure for you, that is
going to be better for you. And this is a part of a person striving to perfect his faith. Realizing
that in Islam, you will have three types of opportunities, you will have three types of
opportunities, you'll have that which is live that which is logical. And that which is natvia. Okay,
you'll find these three terms inside of the core and inside of the center. What exactly do they
		

			mean? Live? Is that which has absolutely no benefit in it whatsoever? Absolutely no benefit in it
whatsoever. So there are very few things that you will come across that you know what, that have
absolutely no benefit in them whatsoever. And something that I was thinking of was a game like you
know, Grand Theft Auto, the whole game is about you know, robbing and killing people and living your
heart on life through a video game. So I thought to myself, this is like one of those examples that
is purely like there is no benefit in this whatsoever. No benefit in this whatsoever. Can you guys
think of something else that would be considered live mean that there's no benefit in it whatsoever?
		

			without it being explicitly sinful? Obviously, what else would be? Go ahead?
		

			A toy doll.
		

			I mean, children need to be amused. So I think if there's, you know, this software ever gives a
function of amusement, that could be something which is beneficial. And I say that, particularly
because you will know that I shadowed your loved one who had a doll as well. Go ahead.
		

			So yeah, I mean, that goes into the aspect of since that, you know, speaking about other people's
business, there's no benefit in it whatsoever. So that's in the realm of since, but I'm thinking
about things that, you know, may be permissible, but there's no benefit in them whatsoever. Can you
think of anything else? Go ahead?
		

			Go to a house party.
		

			What is the house party mean? Like, maybe we might be thinking of different things.
		

			Good food.
		

			You're thinking of that?
		

			Go ahead.
		

			Yeah, so the I would say like most movies in our day and age, they'll fall under this. So things
like you know, Harry Potter and Twilight. They have no concept of reality whatsoever. No, like
tangible benefits that you can derive from it, at least to what I know, that would be considered
something which is live. Then the second category that Islam recognizes is that which is Lahu, that
which is low. So this category, there is something beneficial in it.
		

			But it is distracting you from that which is more beneficial. So there is benefit in it, but it is
distracting you from that which is more beneficial. And this is what Allah subhana wa tada uses in
Surah to the castle, he says, and harpoon at the castle. So this concept of law who it is distracted
you buy through a castle and at the castle is always wanting more, wanting more wealth, wanting a
bigger house, wanting the bigger car and a better car. So this concept of the castle and competing
with other people in the in the in the life of this world, then this is something that has benefit
in it, you need a house, you need a car, you know you you need these things to survive, but be
		

			distracted by it from that which is more beneficial than this is a concept of love. And then the
third element to this is that which is NAFTA is that which is NAFTA, meaning that which is
beneficial within of itself. So all of the acts of a birder, they'll fall under this category, they
fall under this category. And the way to, you know, look or compare all of these things, is that a
person plays too many video games, and you'll feel regret after that, right? A person watches too
many movies, he spends too much time chasing the dunya and worrying for the sake of this dunya when
he's about to die, he's going to feel regret. But now when you look at the acts of worship, and this
		

			is something to ponder and to think about. Did you ever hear anyone ever say that? You know what, I
regret doing this activity Baba, I regret waking up for fudger today, I regret doing anything
beneficial. No, you don't do that. So you will notice that Allah subhanaw taala is affiliated regret
with the former too. But the concept of self fulfillment. It's found in the acts of worship. So self
fulfillment will be found. And those acts which are nothing those acts which are beneficial those
acts which are beneficial. And I'll conclude with this statement of allisonville Bosley, it has an
adversity Rahim Allah. He said when Allah subhanho wa Taala wishes evil for a person, he busies him
		

			with those things that are of no concern to him. When Allah subhanho wa Taala wishes evil for a
person, then he busies him with those things that are of no benefit to him whatsoever. And this is
something that we should ponder and reflect on in our lives, that you know, what are we busy with
most of the times? Is it those things that are bringing us closer to Allah subhanho wa Taala? Or is
it those things that are going to be a distraction between us and Allah subhanaw taala is it those
things that are increasing our reward are those things that aren't increasing it But brother may be
increasing our sense. And there's something to constantly ponder that on this journey to Allah
		

			subhanho wa Taala, Allah subhanho wa Taala sense, you know, different distractions are always part
of as a part of our test. So we need to see how you react to those distractions, and everyone will
be distracted by different things. So you notice those things in your life, which are a distraction
for you, then that is your test right there that you need to try to control it. You know, for some
people, it's going to be the act of constantly following football, they need to know what the score
is at all times. They need to know who's scoring the goal, who had the cyst, what happened on the
play this constant need of knowing what happened, what is happening in football, or another
		

			individual is keeping up with the lives of you know, the pop stars, each and every window we do, you
will have their test. So it is our responsibility to identify that test and try to minimize the
consumption of it, minimize the consumption of it. If it's haram cut it off altogether, but if it is
permissible, then you want to minimize it to the degree that your knifes is satisfied, but it's not
distracting you from things which are more beneficial. And you'll notice that you know, if you look
at the exact opposite of this, you know the same level of hustle and bustle he says that if Allah
subhanaw taala was bad for a person, he busies him with those things that are of no benefits to him.
		

			And the Messenger of Allah salallahu alayhi wa sallam he tells us that when Allah subhanho wa Taala
wants good for an individual, what does he do? He grants him understanding of this religion, he
makes him of that of an individual that strives to continue to grow in his faith and seek knowledge.
So this is something that you will see that an individual that is distracted, will not be able to
seek knowledge. And likewise, an individual who is seeking knowledge will not have time to be
distracted. So one of the best ways to eliminate distractions from your life is to pursue the path
of knowledge is to pursue the path of knowledge. And you'll notice that through the path of
		

			knowledge, not only do you get closer to Allah subhanho wa Taala not only are you more confident in
the way that you worship Allah subhana wa tada but Allah subhanho wa Taala makes you more beneficial
and makes you more productive, makes you more proactive through the knowledge that you seek. So I
pray that Allah subhanho wa Taala mixes of those individuals that are given beneficial, especially
beneficial knowledge and stay away from those things that do not concern us or law husana Adam was a
lot more cinematical in the Vienna Muhammad
		

			While not only he was tough, but he was solemn. We'll open up the floor for questions and answers
inshallah. All right.
		

			Fantastic. So the difference between live and live, we say something that has no benefit in it
whatsoever. And Lahu, we said it has something that is beneficial, it has benefit in it. But it's
keeping you from something which is more beneficial, it is keeping you from something which is more
beneficial. Generally, I found, if you remember examples, they'll help you remember the definition
as well. So we said for live, that's a praying playing Grand Theft Auto, right. And then for level,
we said, that's something like, you know, someone who chases the dunya. So you need to earn wealth,
but chasing it all the time, that's when it will become, you know, a form of low right, escaping
		

			from something which is more beneficial.
		

			Okay, fantastic. So in terms of talking about history, I think talking about history can be very,
very beneficial. If it can prevent you from repeating the mistakes that have been made in history,
he can help you derive lessons from history, that's something great and is very productive. But if
it's just about, you know, cursing history and blaming history, and, you know, for the sake of not
deriving benefit, then so that should be stayed away from as you're talking about politics, you
know, it's just something that's in our blood, you know, uncle's, you will become one one day, is
this in our blood, we would like to talk about politics, what is it called politics of our
		

			countries, the politics of our massage, the politics of our workplace, is just something we like to
do. So I did put the same thing over here that we're discussing these issues to bring about change
and to bring about benefit, it's perfectly fine. If we were trying to expand our horizons, that's
perfectly fine. But it was purely about condemning about, you know, how evil our rulers are, and you
know, how treacherous they've been to us, and, you know, and things like that, that really doesn't
bring about too much benefit. So it's all about what is the intention behind it and where you're
trying to go with that discussion? On the whole Tanana. Right?
		

			to what we should do. Fantastic. So I mean, let's talk about a currently relevant issue. So that's
like the beneficial side trying to see, you know, what can we do to bring about change, right?
Create a social media campaign about it, do something about it, you're trying to take some sort of
action, the negative aspect of this or the the non productive aspect would be, you know, what, these
people are terrible. And you know, what the Muslims do, we have no good leaders. So we deserve this
corruption that, you know, we're facing in our community, that sort of, you know, mentality brings
about no benefit whatsoever. So that would be like the difference between the two. So if you can
		

			find scenarios where you can bring about benefits that will lead to tangible action, then that's
something good. If it just stays theoretical, and this leads to everyone being pessimistic and
feeling down about the situation, then that's something that isn't good. Allahu Tanana. We have
		

			no other questions. Fantastic. So next week's halaqa again, we'll be at 815 business lights Allah
and we'll be moving on to Hadith number 13 which is the Hadith of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam where he says la you know hadoken Hata you have barely a Hema you're humble enough
see that none of you will truly believe until you love for your brother. What you love for yourself.
So how far do you go in implementing this? Hadeeth No, your brother sees your car Mashallah, you
just got a brand new car and it says you know what, I love your car. Does this mean you have to give
it to him? We'll find out next week within lights Allah Subhana cologne we'll be having a shadow
