Omar Suleiman – Prayers of the Pious – Episode 12 – Don’t Make an Example Out of Me

			So now when you come up with a capsule Welcome back to prayers of the pious.
		

			So we talked about it no Josie Rahim Allah and his fear that Allah subhanho wa Taala would punish
him and that he would be a source of guidance to a students but at the same time, the teacher would
not be present in Paradise, and that he would write and say, and, and and read all of the things
that are pleasing to Allah subhanho wa Taala. But ultimately, the usage of those faculties for
things that are not pleasing to Allah subhanaw taala would cause him to to be punished. There's
another by another great man, that speaks to that fear in a different angle. And that is a multiple
of if not Abdullah Rahim Allah to Allah, Allah ma partnership, not Abdullah it was narrated that he
		

			said a la mulata Gianni Ableton Live IE O Allah do not make a lesson out of me. For others. This is
on the sinful side, do not let me be made into a lesson an example. For others, obviously speaking
in regards to sin. And then he said, One touch I hadn't us either vema or llanthony Mini, do not let
there be anyone who benefits more than me from what You have taught me. And do not let there be
anyone who benefits more from that which I have taught more from that which I have spoken than
myself. This is a powerful way of expressing similar sentiments to what Josie rahimullah was
expressing that you know, the prophets I sort of mentioned that some lens absorb the revelation. And
		

			it you know, it's like fertile soil. So the water goes in, and it produces that which is beneficial.
And the soil itself observes. Sometimes the revelation comes in it hits hard surface and neither the
surface nor the people around benefit. And sometimes it's like a bowl or a part of the land that is
shaped in a certain way that even though that land, does not absorb, the revelation does not absorb
the water. It still provides benefit to others. We don't want to be just vessels for others, we want
to be fertile soil that observed that absorbs that which we impart upon others. And these men and
these women were very aware of that. And they were very conscious of that. So this idea of Don't let
		

			me be made into an example of hypocrisy and example of a shortcoming an example of a sinner, for
others to see but at the same time, do not let anyone benefit more from my knowledge than myself.
Let me benefit most from the knowledge that I'm imparting upon others, because you don't want to be
someone that completely you know forgoes practice of that which they preach. This is what Allah
subhanaw taala says Nima TECHO Luna Mata to find own capital dymock that are in the law, and to whom
Allah to find on Oh, you who believe? Why do you say that what you don't do. So I should be
attempting as much as I can to practice that which I preach and in fact, to practice more of it than
		

			what others are privy to, and not simply preach in any capacity, even if that's as simple as sharing
a Facebook status, okay? So always ask Allah subhana wa tada for beneficial knowledge. And that just
as you are a source of guidance for others, you'd be made into a source of guidance for others, that
you yourself Do not go astray. We ask Allah subhana wa tada to make us amongst those that learned
that which is correct, that benefit from that which is correct, and that teach that which is
correct, and that enter genda amongst those who are righteous as not just those people of knowledge
but righteous as worshipers and people that acted upon that knowledge as well as I can no hate and
		

			see you all next time in sha Allah said Imani, come on come to walking better cats.
