			Assalamu alaikum alaikum COVID accounts with the brothers and sisters Welcome back to people have
put on where every night I share with you a story about how one of our pious predecessors interacted
with an ayah from the Quran. So a few episodes ago, we mentioned Imam Ahmed didn't humble or the
love of Thailand, what Allah and the way that he dealt with, you know, a man that was interrupting
his halaqaat that was cursing him and that was trying to get him to respond in you know, in like
manner. And we saw how little Kamala took the high road. Now look, that's just a man that's walking
into your halaqa and insulting you. But let's not forget that, you know, I'm not gonna lie Malala
		
00:00:33 --> 00:01:10
			was tortured for a great portion of his adult life and tortured in ways that that you know, many of
us have never even heard of right, he was, you know, somehow all of the skin was taken off of his
back from the amount of floggings that he went through. They attempted to kill him in many different
ways. And he got him a whole lot by the grace of Allah eventually came out of that, and the entire
Muslim world sided with him against his oppressors. And you know, his last few years were peaceful
and calm. Now what we see happening with him and him a whole lot after that, is that all of these
people that used to torture him in prison, all of the guards all of the people that that cursed him
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:46
			and so on so forth, they just constantly he used to come and seek His forgiveness and saw that the
son of Imam Muhammad Rahim Allah, He says that my father you know, forgave each and every single
person who tortured him so how to love each and every single time a person came to him and said, I
used to beat you and they would be just full of tears. Right? And please forgive me email. Kamala
would forgive them anytime someone came and said, we backed by Did you email him Hola. would forgive
them. sada said to his father, he said I asked my father, you know, what about those that died
before they could seek your forgiveness? What about them? You know, at least these people have come
		
00:01:46 --> 00:02:24
			to you and sought your forgiveness. What do you have to say about those who have died and did not
seek your forgiveness? Imam Ahmed Rahim Allah says, la caja Allah, Mejia Tuffy Helen and Barbara he
he, he says that I have forgiven each and every single deceased person for the beatings that they
used to inflict upon me so how to learn not for seeking forgiveness for no other reason. So slotta
said, I understand when people come to you and seek forgiveness from you, then you should forgive.
But those people never even sought forgiveness from. He said to him, listen to my son. He said Allah
subhana wa tada said, and this is the surah or this is the ayah we're in today, sort of the Shura
		
00:02:24 --> 00:03:07
			verse 40, feminine alpha or agile who Allah, whoever forgives and pardons then his reward is upon
Allah subhanaw taala. So he said that when I went when I came across this idea when I studied it, he
said I came across a narration from your mom, Hassan vasila him hold on to Allah and listen to this
narration. So the mom hasn't abasi narrates either karma yom will be Amity Jaffa till oma mokulua
Avenida de la that when the day of judgment comes, all of the almost all of the nations will be on
their knees in front of a loss of Hannah junta Allah. And he says, some new idea and lay a coma in
an algebra who Allah, Allah will say, Don't stand up unless I owe you some.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:45
			Some have Allah don't stand unless I have something to pay you for your como lm and alpha for dunya.
And no one will stand except for those that used to forgive in Parliament in this world. So they
would stand up and Allah Subhana Allah, we would give them that special reward that he promised
them. Same act with him, Allah said I want to be one of those people that stands up when everyone
else is on their knees. And he says for Jan to immediately help I forgiven all of those people that
have deceased for what they that have died for what they did to me. So gnuplot, Wilma, Allah,

			once upon a man is to make sure that Allah will not punish anyone on the day of judgment because of
him, trying to look at that heart of gold, usually a person that's been subjected to that much
torture, you talk about solitary confinement and torture for over a decade. Usually a person like
that would be bitter. Look at that heart of gold that he has. He's telling his son, what you want on
the Day of Judgment is that no one's going to be punished on your behalf. You don't want a loss of
power to punish anyone on your behalf. And in fact, do you want to be one of those people that
stands up when Allah subhanaw taala gives that special reward? We ask Allah to give us those big
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:39
			hearts and to allow us to be able to forgive and pardon. You know what, even when people don't seek
forgiveness from us, we ask Allah to allow us to do that, not because they deserve it but because we
want the mercy of Allah Subhana Allah, Lamine de la heightened for joining us tonight in sha Allah
