Omar Suleiman – The Faith Revival 17

			So now I can celebrity Carter Welcome back to the faith revival. So last time we talked about the
two most dangerous threats to your email, the level of wealth and the level of thing, like two
hungry wolves being let loose on a flock of sheep. But this is a really interesting Hadith that the
Prophet slicin gives us. He says sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and some of the scholars say this is
actually a single model of the law. No, but there are certainly many narrations, that poverty may
lead to disbelief that poverty almost leads to disbelief and fuckup, which is poverty can lead a
person down to disbelief and model the allotted time, and who not only did he say it on the lawn was
		

			that if poverty was a men, then I would have choked him with my own two hands. So poverty is a
difficult test to a person's amount and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he recognizes that
and this scenario this narration comes in various formats. One of them we learn from the prophets
license that he used to seek refuge in Allah subhanho wa Taala after every Salah according to some
narrations, Allahumma inni all the bigger mineral kufri will fuck up. Oh Allah, I seek refuge in You
from disbelief and poverty. And and one of the narrations and inhibin he was asked for the lohani
was Salaam, you know about why he always uses those together disbelief and poverty together. And he
		

			said they're the same Subhanallah like they're equal. Not that poverty is equal to kofler. Because
poverty is not something that a person chooses most of the time, but it's something that's inflicted
on a person whereas kofu is deliberate disbelief is deliberate. But that a person could be led down
to that path where they start to, they start to have questions about faith, or they start to do
things that would harm their faith. He mentioned some of the lahardee who was some of them. In one
narration, there was a man that heard the prophets license, always seeking refuge in Allah, from
depth. And in this narration by a shuttle de la Juana, as is always seeking refuge in Allah from
		

			depths. The man said, how often you seek refuge in Allah from death. And the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam said, when a man gets into debt, he speaks. And he tells lies, he makes promises,
and he breaks them, meaning Sometimes a person might have to resort to unethical behavior. And we
see there's a direct correlation in many parts of the world. And of course, even here in the United
States, between poverty and crime. So poverty can lead someone who never would have thought of doing
criminal behavior to criminal behavior, right? Because it's a condition where people start to resort
to certain things. And the prophets lie, some recognizes that and eventually, that criminal behavior
		

			could lead to a sense of disbelief. So he's teaching us a lot about the harms of poverty. So what do
we learn from this? Number one, is the profit slice on blaming the person who's in poverty, no. self
inflicted poverty is not something that we seek in Islam. And I know that that's, that should sound
like common sense. But in Islam, a person does not inflict poverty as a means of asceticism on
themselves, which is actually a trait in many different philosophies and religions that a person
should force themselves into difficult situations, so that they can spiritually elevate themselves.
And this is a concept that does not exist in our faith. However, if a person is forced into poverty,
		

			then the majority of the people of Jamaica are forgotten. The second are people who were poor, and
people who were in poverty. Why? Because wealth takes more people away from Allah subhanaw taala
than poverty. So we don't, we don't have a philosophy of self inflicted poverty in our religion.
Number two, the prophets lie some taught us to seek refuge in Allah so a person should frequently
seek refuge in Allah, Allah in the arrow, the vicar, you know, kufri wolsak Oh Allah, I seek refuge
in You from disbelief and poverty. And in one narration, the prophets license says, Why are you
becoming a double Kaaba law? I seek refuge in You from the torment of the grave, so seek refuge in
		

			Allah from it. Number three, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam put the burden on society, not
those that are in poverty. Society has a job a responsibility to eradicate poverty. Now this is a
very powerful connection, if you can make that connection, the same passion that we have, in
eradicating poverty, if you will, eradicating disbelief in teaching people about a lot and doing
data, if you equate poverty and disbelief, we should have that passion to also eradicating poverty
from a society. And that's why the prophets lie sometimes that the believer no one of you believes
and sleeps at night while his neighbor is hungry. Right that that is a weakness and enough in the
		

			person that if he allows people to suffer in poverty while he himself eats to his fill, that's a
weakness in his email. So the profits liesman puts a burden on society if you want to guard a man
and faith in a society. You need to fight poverty so that people do not find themselves in that
situation. So we asked a lot
		

			Hello Jana, first and foremost to protect us from this belief in poverty secondly to use us to
eradicate poverty inshallah tada to use us to alleviate people that are in that situation and to
make us in that sense agents of Eman, people that preserve faith in a society alumna. I mean, does
that mean lol Faden See you all next time and Sean less than I want to come on to like the council
