Salam Alaikum
Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa sallahu Allah so you deny
Muhammad, Allah early humans have been here at the mountain.
And Miranda for Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
Mama Timothy Rama hello to Allah
reports a hadith in his sunnah.
We, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is reported to have said
ma'am in che in
a scholar film is an in movement. Yo Malkia Mati when Hosni and
follow
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is reported to have said
that
there is nothing
that will weigh heavier on the scale of the believer on the day
of PM, than good character.
In another Hadith, more famous Hadith the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam is reputed to have said that in Namibia, I still
live with them Mima my caramel o'clock, I have only been sent to
Perfect, good character.
So
all of the Hadith that we find on good character
that's extremely interesting, considering that there are so many
other things to take into consideration. The Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam mission was an is a major mission,
there is no prophet after the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam, which means the message of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam
the Sharia of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam the
Quran needs to extend up until the day of PM.
So considering that considering the Hadith, the Prophet salallahu
Salam says there's nothing that will weigh heavy on the scale, and
the definitely hammer then good character. It's very interesting
because there are so many other acts of a bad that
that requires physical strength requires commitment, we have our
hudge wherever so we have tahajjud, wherever tarawih things
that requires things that exhausts us that requires commitment. Yet
the Prophet sallallahu sallam said that nothing weighs heavier than
good character. So obviously those acts of ibid
are weighty in the eyes of Allah subhanaw taala and will weigh
heavy on the day fKM in our scales.
But what's interesting is that the prophets Allah Allah Allah, Sanam
says is that this is the heaviest good character.
So, that that motivates us that you know, drew some interest for
us to try understand what then is good character? How do we define
good character, what constitutes good character, right? And what
rushes too many of our minds, when we say good character is probably
greeting the next one greeting with a smile, sharing kind word,
assisting someone
etcetera.
However, our scholars beautifully explained that what we what I just
mentioned now, of good character, are the fruits of good character
as a consequence of good character,
but it's not the essence of good character. The essence of what
good character is, as our scholars mentioned,
is our connection with Allah subhanaw taala.
So we often when discussing thinking about encouraging good
character we often related only to our fellow humans, to our brothers
and sisters. Most
Lebanon Muslim, but we often forget that good character is in
relation to Allah subhanaw taala as well as how we worship Allah
subhanaw taala as well our dealings with Allah subhanho wa
Taala as well. And our scholars say that the essence of good
character is actually our relationship with Allah subhanaw
taala. And when that is is the,
the good character that we refer to that we often think of is just
a consequence of fruits are an extension of what good character
actually is. So over and over in Quran Allah subhanaw taala speaks
about good character in relation to Allah subhanaw taala now, that
can be in many forms, the fact that we are here today Joomla
Joomla Joomla Salah etc our congregation on Friday is word is
compulsive oblique obligatory upon us. The fact that we are in
attendance today is a reflection of us being in obedience to Allah
subhanaw taala which would be that which would mean that we are in
good character with Allah subhanaw taala. So just by
following the commands of Allah subhanaw taala implementing what
is compulsory and abstaining from what Allah subhanaw taala
prohibits us from that is, in a sense, a type of good character
with Allah subhanaw taala. However, in Quran, Allah Subhana
Allah Allah in the Quran, Allah subhanaw taala speaks in numerous
places,
of two types of personalities, Allah subhanaw taala speaks of two
types of characters or character traits.
The one Allah Subhana Allah says
and the reason I'm highlighting these two character traits that
Allah subhanaw taala speaks about over and over in Quran is is
because
this is either a consequence of good character or bad character in
relation to Allah subhanaw taala our relationship with Allah
subhanaw taala so Allah subhanaw taala says in Quran
the one type of personality you get is what either a muscle inside
of booboo, the Annerley Jambi Oh God, oh God, amen. Fella mica
Schaffner and who do Rahu maraca Allah Mia the owner in adultery
Messiah. Allah is the one type of character you get
is when Homer flicks him or either Marcel insana. Bulu when Homer
flick, see, I flicks him, the earner equals Unto Allah subhanaw
taala he starts turning to Allah subhanaw taala is now devoted to
Allah subhanaw taala right. Why? Allah says the anally Jambi, he
calls us the jumpy on his side, aka iden or setting aka Iman or
standing meaning ALLAH says in every instance in every position
he finds himself in, he calls until its applicants to Allah.
He's now devoted to Allah. Why because harm has afflicted him.
Allah says fella mica Schaffner and who, who, once we've lifted
the harm from him.
maraca Allah Mia the owner in adultery Messiah, he continues as
if I'm never afflicted, completely forgetting about Allah subhanaw
taala.
In another verse, Allah Subhana Allah says for either rocky
Bluefin full when they embark or they bought the ship or plane for
that matter. The ANA rocky will fill full Kedah will Allah
hammock, etc. And Allahu Deen when they embark on the ship, they call
Unto Allah subhanaw taala very sincerely, very devoted, focused
in the prayer right because they are undertaking a great method
right the lives are at stake. Allah says Allah mana Jiang L bar,
once we save them, and brought them to land, either whom you
should call and suddenly they forget about Allah subhanaw taala
and they ascribe partners to Allah subhanaw taala whether this kind
of importance here means physically worshipping an idol or
just forgetting Allah and placing others other things giving
preference to other things over then Allah subhanaw taala we
understand the meaning. So the one personality Allah subhanaw taala
speaks about in Quran is that when he is in hardship,
when difficult times afflict him, he's now devoted to Allah subhanaw
taala and he now remembers Allah subhanaw taala
and the other personality Allah subhanaw taala speaks about is
for a male insane either maybe tele Hora boo for a Kurama who and
I'm a hole for your pool or up be achromat the other personality
Allah subhanaw taala says, the one whom we've honored him, we've
given him status. Right? And we've given him wealth, and we've given
him many things to enjoy himself with. Then he says fire cool rugby
acraman dini is very proud of his Lord at the time. And he says, Oh,
my Lord, a common occurrence and he, he has honored me and favored
me and he's good to me and he's blessed me.
Well, I'm married, I'm Roberta Allah, who for Kedah, Allah He is
CO who, however, when we withhold this risk as a test, Allah
subhanaw taala says, As a small, temporary, this
and this doesn't only refer to wealth, like money, it is refers
to my well being my health, a family, good offspring,
my parents safety, security, a home roof over my head, and money.
That is what it is, refers to, because I can have all the money
in the world and no security, constantly anxious, et cetera, et
cetera, and what good is all the money, so this refers to all of
it. So Allah says, then this individual when we test him with
this risk, maybe some insecurity, some, you know, then he says for a
fool or up be a hand and then he says, Allah subhanaw taala has,
has disgraced me, Allah subhanaw taala has, he's not being good to
me with the we are literally saying it or we are feeling to
thinking it. Allah subhanaw taala is aware of it. So the two types
of character character is Allah subhanaw taala and I'm only
quoting two verses, but Allah subhanaw taala speaks about them
over and over. It's not individual, it's a personality,
it's a character.
Allah subhanaw taala speaks about them over and over in Quran, the
one who's devoted to Allah subhanaw taala only when hardship
afflicts him
the one who is devoted to Allah subhanaw taala only at times of
ease,
at times of ease, he performs his
research in terms of difficulty it feels as if Allah has disgraced
him. Well, that's not good to me. It was unfair. Right? The other
one when the hutzpah Chippewa flicks now is devoted.
And the minute Allah alleviates his pain and his and his
difficulty he forgets.
So what is it that Allah subhanaw taala wants from us what Allah
subhanaw taala one wants from us is good character. What Allah
subhanaw taala wants from us is consistency. We need to be pleased
with the decree of Allah subhanho wa Taala irrespective of our
conditions.
When hardship afflicts us, we need to do with patience, and it's
difficult.
And when is afflicts us or rather when Allah subhanaw taala honors
us and grants us prosperity, and times of ease and luxury. Then we
need to remember continue to remember Allah subhanaw taala and
continue to worship Him. Allah Subhana Allah Allah says in Quran
the third category, the third category is the one who has good
character, the one who is in relationship with Allah subhanaw
taala is intact. The third category Allah mentions is in the
inner Sadhguru except those Allah mentioned the first category, the
second category and then Allah says except those who saw baru
they have patients while Amina Salah hut and they do righteous
deeds are more fussy rune say except those who have patients at
times of difficulty. Well, I mean Salahaddin do righteous deeds, at
times of ease, if we can adopt patience at the time of
difficulty, and we can ensure good deeds at the time of ease and not
forget Allah subhanaw taala Allah says, I'm not saying Allah Subhana
Allah, Allah says Allah, Allahu Akbar, Farah. for them Allah
Subhana Allah has guaranteed forgiveness well as your own
cabbie, and an immense reward.
When we correct our situation and our relationship with Allah
subhanaw taala everything they offer is just a consequence of our
relationship with Allah subhanaw taala. We pray that Allah subhanaw
taala grants us the necessary consciousness taqwa, understanding
and strength to irrespective of our condition, Allah subhanaw
taala promises in Quran that in Allah Allah,
Allah does not harm men, in the least Allah is not in just unjust,
Allah subhanaw taala doesn't does not harm men in the least while I
can Anessa and Fusa whom you have removed, but no man harms himself.
If Allah subhanaw If there are times of difficulty afflicting us,
whether it be my health, whether it be wealth, or whatever the case
may be Allah subhanaw taala knows what's good for us in that moment.
And it's only temporary Allah Subhan Allah says in Quran we will
well hon one second we will definitely test him be che in
mineral health,
something some difficulty, some hardship, some decrease in wealth
for a short time. Allah guarantees us that that is not going to last
forever. What we need to do at times of difficulty, irrespective
of what we find ourselves in is in do with patients. Now
And actually I'll end up with this with patients
is how do we induce patients, they say you get something, there's two
words in Arabic. One is patience, and one is just allowing time to
pass, I can be standing in a queue in a long queue complaining,
right? And often our I reached the front, I've complained the entire
wait in the queue. That's not patience. But I waited an hour and
the next guy is right next to me. He's also waiting the same hour.
But he understands the situation you understand whatever the
circumstances may be, and he reaches the front of the queue,
same time, I've waited an hour if he's waited an hour, one is
considered patients one is not considered patients because I was
complaining the entire time. So patience is when we endure
whatever it is that Allah subhanaw taala has placed us in
and we remember Allah subhanaw taala and we remain devoted, and
we make stuff up. And when Allah subhanaw taala alleviates the
difficulty from us, we continue to remember him and we continue to do
righteous deeds. I pray that Allah subhanaw taala allows us to be of
the third category that is pleased with the decree of Allah subhanaw
taala and we do righteous deeds irrespective of our condition or
better than COVID McDuffie we're after Domina and you're humble.
