00:00:59 --> 00:01:00
			I'm here to pay my debt,
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04
			and we continue
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			to keep in our hearts and in our
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			minds all those shuhada
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:13
			that Allah has chosen, that Allah has taken.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:15
			May Allah
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:17
			accept the Shahadah,
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			and may Allah
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:24
			grant victory to the Muslimen over their enemies,
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:24
			Amin,
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27
			and cause us to witness
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			the liberation of Al Adul Maqaddesa, the holy
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			land,
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			Baytul Maqdis,
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
			Ursaalim, Jerusalem,
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			and Masjid Al Aqsa, and grant us to
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			make salah in Masjid Al Aqsa.
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			And it is liberated and sanctified
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:44
			and consecrated.
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			Today, inshallah, we are going to
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			continue with our Hadith,
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:56
			which
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:57
			is to be found
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			in the Sahihain
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			of Al Imam al Bukhari and Al Imam
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:03
			Muslim,
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			the hadith of the 7 types of people.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:10
			This is where we really need to be
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:10
			focusing
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			is that what can we send forward,
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			especially considering
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20
			the difficult times that we are living in.
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			We need to be busying ourselves
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:27
			with as many good deeds as we possibly
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			can, especially those deeds
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:31
			that are going to save us
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			on the day of your mukhiyama
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:36
			and afford us
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:37
			the forgiveness
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:41
			and the ultimate reward of Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			Ta'ala. What did the prophet say
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			Make haste in doing good deeds. Why? Because
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			there are
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			trials and tribulations
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:55
			coming like a dark night.
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:57
			And why dark night?
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			For those of you who might
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:01
			have been driving,
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			I don't know, somewhere between the 3 sisters
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:05
			in Beaufort West
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			in the night, not an advisable thing to
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10
			do, by the way, but I'm just saying,
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			go to a place where there are no
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14
			electric lights, and
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			especially if it is
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:20
			at the beginning
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:22
			of a lunar month
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			when there is no moon,
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			and you will experience a dark night. It
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			will be so dark
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:31
			that as Allah
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:34
			describes the abyss in the Holy Quran,
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			In that abyss which is a 1000 meters
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:40
			and below,
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			if a person had to take out their
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			hand and put it in front of them,
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:46
			they would hardly be able to see it.
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:49
			I experienced this in Somali land, and only
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			then did I understand what the prophet was
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:52
			speaking about.
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			Make haste in doing good deeds. Why? Because
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:57
			there are trials and tribulations coming like a
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			dark night.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:00
			That even at that time, there will be
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:01
			Muslims,
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			may Allah not make us of those Muslims
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			that are so ignorant of their deen,
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:11
			so ignorant of Allah, so ignorant of Rasulullah
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			that they won't be able to distinguish
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:17
			between truth and falsehood,
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:19
			between right and wrong,
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:22
			between good and bad, between lawful and prohibited.
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			And then the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:26
			describes
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			that what can happen to that Muslim, yusbihaajalu
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			mumminan wa yumsi kafiran, they will wake up
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:34
			as a believer and go to bed as
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:34
			a disbeliever.
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			Oh, go to bed as a believer and
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:41
			wake up as a disbeliever.
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			If Allahu say iman and say, Slap, Ma'adullah.
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:46
			Can you imagine that?
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:48
			And then at the end he says,
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53
			They will sell their religion
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			for a small price of the dunya. Allahi,
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:56
			we can see it.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:58
			We can see it amongst
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			those munafiqeen
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			and those khawana,
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			those who have betrayed the Ummah of Muhammad
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:07
			and stabbed us in our backs,
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:09
			selling
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			the deen for a small price of the
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:12
			dunya.
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:14
			In the other way of the hadith,
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:16
			the Prophet gives us a glad tidings.
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:19
			He says, illaman ahiahuallahu
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:20
			billa'ilam,
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			except the one whom Allah revives with knowledge.
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:26
			And that's what we are doing here.
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			We are we are attaining knowledge.
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			That is at least once a week we
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:33
			come
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:35
			to the masjid
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:36
			to attain knowledge,
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:40
			to get a reminder and I'm reminding myself
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			first before I'm reminding anybody else,
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			and then we go and practice it
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			in the hope that insha Allahu Ta'ala,
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			we might be saved from these trials and
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:51
			tribulations on the dunya,
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:53
			and we might be shielded
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:55
			from Allah's punishment on the day of Your
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:56
			Muqiyama.
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59
			So back to the hadith, Saba'atun.
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:01
			7 types of people.
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17
			And then, skipping the one that we're going
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			to do today, just to speak about that
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21
			which we've already spoken about,
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:23
			warajalumdhaatummanseebinwajamalimfaqala
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:27
			inni akhafullah.
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			And then the one for today, which is
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:31
			actually
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:33
			number 5, not number 6. I said I
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			owed you 2, I actually owe you 3.
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:47
			So far we've covered the just leader,
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:50
			we've covered the person that spends their youth
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:51
			in the path of Allah,
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:53
			We've covered
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			the 2 Muslims that come together, brother to
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:56
			brother, sister to sister,
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59
			love each other for the sake of Allah,
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:00
			express that love for each other, and they
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:01
			part on that love.
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:04
			And indeed, they love for each other what
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			they love for themselves. That's the fruit thereof,
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:07
			Allahu Akbar.
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			And we also did the person,
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			the person that is invited to an act
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:13
			of promiscuity,
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:16
			of fornication and adultery,
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19
			and they say, Inni akhafullah.
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:20
			They say,
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:22
			Indeed I fear Allah,
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:25
			and I seek the refuge and protection of
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:25
			Allah.
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:29
			And then the 5th person or the 5th
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:30
			type of person,
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:31
			a person,
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:32
			tasaddaqabi
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:33
			sadaqatin,
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:36
			a person that gives a charity.
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:39
			With such sincerity,
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:42
			so much so,
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:53
			They hide that tzedakah to the degree that
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:54
			the left hand
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:57
			does not know that which the right hand
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:58
			has given.
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:03
			No. This topic
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			of sadaqah, Allahu Akbar.
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			I can never do justice to it in,
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10
			what's it now? 5 to 1?
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:12
			Okay.
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:14
			Push it. 20 pass for the latest.
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:16
			I can't do justice to this topic in
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:17
			25 minutes.
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20
			So Insha'Allah, just a loop, loop, loop, loop.
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:22
			Let's just go to the core
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:24
			of what it means to give sadaqa.
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:27
			Now, before we say anything else,
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:30
			for akfah, you said, and they hide it.
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:31
			Does that mean you have to hide it?
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:32
			It's obligatory
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:34
			to hide your tzedakah?
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:37
			And if you don't hide it, then you
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:41
			are sinful. No, we know that. Many times
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43
			in the Quran Allah speaks about,
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			Those that spend their wealth in the day
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:51
			and in the night,
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:53
			or in the night and in the day,
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:55
			in secret and in the open.
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:58
			So it is permissible
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:00
			to give one's
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:03
			to give one's wealth in the open,
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:05
			but it's better
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:08
			it's better to give it in secret, just
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:09
			in case.
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:11
			Like you say, okay, I'm gonna give my
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:13
			wealth in the open, but don't give it
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:15
			in the open unless you are sure that
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:17
			you can maintain your sincerity.
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:20
			Because remember what, Al Imam Sufian authority he
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:21
			said, he
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:25
			said,
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:31
			He He said, never ever have I
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:33
			tried to heal something
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:37
			more difficult to heal within myself
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:40
			than the sincerity of my intention
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:42
			because it's always fluctuating.
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:44
			So,
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:46
			it is permissible
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:48
			to spend in the open
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:50
			as long as it is for the intention
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:52
			of encouraging others to spend.
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:54
			But if there's a fear
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:56
			that
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			that sincerity is going to be eroded,
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			is going to be negated
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:04
			by now instead showing off
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			for that which we have spent,
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:09
			then rather don't do it in the hope.
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:11
			That's why it's always better and safer
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:13
			to do it in secret.
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:17
			I refer you to Surat Al Baqarah,
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:21
			verse number 270,
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:33
			Whoever
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:35
			gives charity
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:37
			or vows
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:38
			to give a charity,
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:40
			surely Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala knows,
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:43
			and the wrongdoers will have no helpers.
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:50
			If you give charity publicly, it's good.
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:53
			It's good to give charity publicly but only
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56
			only for the intention of
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:57
			encouraging others.
		
00:10:58 --> 00:10:59
			Like said Northman,
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:00
			said Northman,
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:03
			I think it was for Hazrat Tabuk,
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:05
			but Sid Nothman brought a 1,000 camels,
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09
			a 1,000 camels to Medina
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:11
			in preparation for the Battle of Tabuk.
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:14
			And so,
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:16
			all of the
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			I was going to say merchants, but that
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:20
			can have a it's ambiguous.
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:22
			All the businessmen of Medina,
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:25
			all the businessmen of Medina, they came out
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:27
			to meet said no Uthman,
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:30
			and they said, You, Usman,
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:34
			for every dirham
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:35
			that
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:38
			these 1,000 laden camels,
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:40
			camels laden with goods,
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:42
			For every dirham that they are worth, we'll
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:44
			give you 2 dirhams, we'll give you double.
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:48
			So said Nohman looked at them and said
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:49
			to them,
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:55
			Allah has offer,
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:58
			He said, lakadzadani
		
00:11:58 --> 00:11:59
			gairukum,
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:02
			He said, there are others besides you,
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:04
			besides you, there are others
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:06
			that have
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:08
			given to me or that have
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:10
			promised me
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:15
			10 times what these goods are worth, Ten
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:16
			times.
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:19
			So they looked at each other and they
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:20
			said, Yeah, Usman,
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:26
			There are no other business people in Medina
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:27
			besides us.
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:31
			So who bought these goods from you?
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:33
			He said, Nofman, he smiled and he said,
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:34
			I
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:38
			have sold them to Allah
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:41
			and His Messenger. Did He do that riyaan?
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:43
			Did He do that showing off? Laa, Allah.
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:46
			Laa, Allah. He did that to encourage others
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:47
			to do the same
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50
			because Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has promised minimum,
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:52
			minimum when we spend,
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:55
			minimum Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is prepared to
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:56
			times it by
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:58
			by 10.
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:03
			Whoever
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:07
			does one good deed, whether it's sadaqah or
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:09
			any other good deed, Allah
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:10
			will times it by
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:11
			by 10.
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:14
			And that's why I said, Nali,
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:18
			I said, Nali and Fatima to Zahra, RadiAllahu
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:20
			ta'ala, and huma waarda huma.
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:23
			They'd fallen on hard times.
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:26
			They didn't have much money,
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:27
			and Fatima was sick
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:31
			and said, Nali asked her, mother, tish tahine
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:31
			you Fatima,
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:33
			what would you like? What do you desire
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:35
			so I can make you feel better,
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:37
			can make you feel happy? Said Nali is
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:39
			a wise man, Allahu Akbar.
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:42
			She says, Ashtahi
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:43
			Romana,
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:47
			I would like her akhranat apple. Is that
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:50
			right in Africa? Akhranat apple. A pomegranate.
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:52
			Akhranat,
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			she said. She loved pomegranates.
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:57
			So Sedna Ali goes to the market,
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:00
			and he only had money, he only had
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:02
			enough money to buy 1 pomegranate.
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:06
			And so he bought the pomegranate, and while
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:08
			he's walking home,
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:11
			he sees a poor man
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:12
			in the street begging,
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:15
			and he can see he's poor.
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:17
			And so
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:20
			said N Ali, he looks at the pomegranate,
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:22
			obviously thinking about Fatima,
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:26
			but he sees that the need is greater
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:26
			here.
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:29
			And so not only does he give the
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:31
			pomegranate to the poor man, he actually opens
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:32
			it up and feeds the man.
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:34
			And he gets back home,
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:37
			and I can imagine how he's thinking of
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:38
			the excuses.
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:41
			But he gets home, I mean this is
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:43
			Fatima al Zahra, Allah Allah
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:45
			radiAllahu anha.
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:47
			And so he explains to her,
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:49
			and of course she accepts.
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:54
			And little after that, a little while after
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:54
			that,
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:57
			there's a knock at the door, and who's
		
00:14:57 --> 00:15:00
			standing at the door? Sidna Salman, Salman al
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:01
			Farisi.
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:04
			Salman al minna aal bayt. Hey, hey, hey,
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:05
			hey. The Prophet said Salman
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:06
			is
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:20
			Every taqeed, every person that lives in awe
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:22
			of Allah and is conscious and mindful of
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:24
			Allah is considered to be the family of
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:26
			our beloved prophet, Muhammad salallahu alayhi.
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:27
			With regards to
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:29
			specific akham,
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:30
			now then it's
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:33
			it's more narrowed down and focused to Bani
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:35
			Hashim and according to Ali Mawmashafi,
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:36
			Bani al Muqtalib.
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:39
			Bani Hashim and Bani al Muqtalib.
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:42
			So, Sid Nas Salman is standing in the
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:42
			door,
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:45
			and he's got like a tabak
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:47
			on those big plates,
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:49
			and there is a,
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:51
			like a covering over the plate.
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:55
			And Sirdna Salman says,
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:57
			I bring to you
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:57
			greetings
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:00
			from the Messenger of Allah,
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:03
			from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:05
			and that this is for you.
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:08
			So, he pulls back the covering,
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:11
			and he sees there are only
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:12
			9 pomegranates
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:15
			on the plate.
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:17
			Said Nali says, no.
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:19
			If this had been from Allah,
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:21
			there would have been
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:22
			10 pomegranates
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:23
			on the plate.
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:24
			So
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:28
			Sedna Salman, he pulls the 10th one out
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:30
			from his sleeve, and he says,
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:37
			Indeed, You have spoken the truth, O Ali.
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:41
			Whoever brings one good deed, Allah multiplies it
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:41
			by 10.
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:44
			And and this what we need to understand,
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:47
			why is why is sadaqa called sadaqa?
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:49
			Why is sadaqa called
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:51
			sadaqa?
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:53
			Because
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:54
			it is a proof
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:57
			of believing in Allah.
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:00
			That's why the prophet said salallahu alayhi wasalam
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:01
			was salatunnoosh,
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:05
			salah, a salah to Noor
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:08
			that salah is a light.
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:09
			I mean
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:12
			what else could it be when you're speaking
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:12
			to Allah?
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:14
			And he said, a
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:15
			light.
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:18
			Was sadaqah to burhan and charity is a
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:19
			proof
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:20
			was sabrudiya
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:24
			and patience is illumination.
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:27
			That's why salah is a light, like the
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:28
			moon,
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:31
			because it's reflecting the light of Allah Subhanahu
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:31
			Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:34
			You're standing in prayer, speaking to Allah, connected
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:37
			to Allah, mean a silah. The word silah
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:40
			means connection. That's where the word salah comes
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:40
			from.
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:44
			Was sadaqah to Burhan, and sadaqah is a
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:45
			proof for your belief in Allah.
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:49
			Because Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has promised that
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:51
			when you spend, youkhilifu.
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:53
			He will replace it.
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:54
			He will multiply it.
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:57
			He will reward it in this life and
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:58
			in the hereafter.
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:05
			The prophet guarantees, he says, salam alayhi salam,
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:07
			that charity will
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:09
			never ever decrease your wealth.
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:12
			Giving charity
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:14
			will never it's impossible.
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:16
			It's like
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:18
			a sunnah
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:21
			of sunanillah. We spoke last week about
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:26
			The sunan of Allah.
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:28
			The order of Allah.
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:33
			What you do will be done unto you.
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:38
			You reap what you sow,
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:40
			etcetera etcetera.
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:42
			This is a sunnah.
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:44
			This is something built in,
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:45
			pre programmed
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:48
			into the creation of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:50
			It's impossible to give charity
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:52
			sincerely for the sake of Allah
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:55
			and for it to diminish your wealth.
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:56
			Impossible.
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:59
			You know what does destroy wealth?
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:01
			Yes, yes, yes,
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:02
			yes, arriba
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:05
			interest,
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:06
			usury.
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:09
			Allah says it in the Quran, with the
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:12
			strongest You cannot find stronger words.
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:13
			You cannot find
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:15
			stronger words in the Quran
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:17
			than when Allah speaks about
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:18
			arribah.
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:21
			Allah says, yam hakullahu
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:22
			ribah.
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:25
			Sorry, I didn't mean to burst your eardrums
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:26
			there but that is how
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:28
			intense this word is,
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:31
			how destructive it is. Allah says, yam haqq.
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:34
			Yam haqqallahu riba.
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:35
			Allah annihilates
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:38
			riba. In other words, any transaction
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:42
			in which there is interest, Allah annihilates
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:45
			every drop of barakah. There's
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:48
			no barakah in that one. And then what
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:50
			does he say? Wayur be sadakat
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:53
			but he multiplies charity.
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:56
			So you really want a good business?
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:58
			You want a business with,
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:01
			with a good turnover and a big profit?
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:02
			Give charity.
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:05
			Spend in the path of Allah.
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:07
			Ma'anaqasat
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:08
			sadakatun
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:12
			min mali. Sadaka will never ever decrease a
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:12
			person's
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:14
			wealth.
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:16
			So going back to
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:20
			the going back to the verse,
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:22
			Surat al Baqarah,
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:24
			verse 271,
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:30
			Whoever gives charity in public, it's good, but
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:32
			just make sure that you can you can
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:33
			maintain
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:35
			the sincerity of that
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:36
			of that intention.
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:45
			It's very interesting.
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:46
			Allah says, waladhinasabruw
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:49
			those who are patient and persevering
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:51
			and do good deeds.
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:54
			Many of them of Asireen, they say that
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:56
			what this means is that you first have
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:58
			to persevere in getting your intention right.
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:01
			You first have to persevere
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:03
			getting your niyyah.
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:06
			Like they told me when I embraced Islam,
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:08
			I said I was like wondering how am
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:10
			I gonna fast? I embraced Islam 2 weeks
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:10
			before.
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:17
			You know, it didn't make sense to me
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:18
			then,
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:20
			but it makes sense to me now.
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:22
			You know, make an intention
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:33
			wa amilasalihat,
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:35
			and they do
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:37
			actions based on that
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:39
			sincere intention, which is what?
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:45
			They have not been ordered.
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:47
			None of us have been commanded to do
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:49
			anything except that we do it.
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:49
			Muhlisin,
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:50
			sincerely
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:52
			for the love and for the sake of
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:53
			Allah and for his sake alone.
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:55
			And then in other words,
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:57
			nyaamaajurulalaimilin,
		
00:21:58 --> 00:21:59
			excellent is the reward
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:02
			of those who do good deeds.
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:06
			Allatheena sabru, those who are patient and persevering
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:07
			in maintaining
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:08
			their sincerity,
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:11
			right throughout that good deed.
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:13
			And when it comes to charity,
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:15
			even after you've given the charity, you still
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:17
			have to maintain that sincerity.
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:18
			Because what does Allah
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:20
			excuse me, Allah
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:31
			don't render your acts of charity
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:33
			null and void
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:35
			with injury
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:36
			and reminders.
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:39
			*, but I helped you out last week.
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:42
			You're telling me you can't help me out
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:42
			today?
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:44
			You know, I gave to you when you
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:45
			didn't have?
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:47
			When you were hungry, I fed you.
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:50
			When you were naked, I clothed you. When
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:51
			you were out on the street, I gave
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:53
			you a roof over your head.
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:56
			All null and void, zifthzolch,
		
00:22:58 --> 00:22:58
			sifr,
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:01
			all of that charity down the drain.
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:03
			So when it comes to
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:05
			any good deed, but especially sadaqa, there has
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:07
			to be ikhlas, there has to be sincerity
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:10
			before we give.
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:12
			There has to be sincerity
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:14
			while we are giving.
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:17
			Mustn't change, it is an opportunity to show
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:17
			off.
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:26
			Oh, Allah, cleanse our hearts of hypocrisy and
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:26
			our actions
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:29
			from show. And then even after we have
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:32
			spent, we have to maintain that sincerity that
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:34
			we don't go and injure that person that
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:36
			we gave to and remind them of what
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:36
			we've done for them.
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:53
			To give charity publicly is good, but to
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:53
			give it
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:56
			to the poor privately
		
00:23:57 --> 00:23:58
			is better for you.
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:01
			And Allah will absolve you of your sins,
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:02
			Allahu Akbar.
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:04
			Allah will absolve you of your sins.
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:20
			Sadaka will put out a sun,
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:23
			will erase a sun,
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:26
			will extinguish a sun
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:29
			just like water extinguishes fire.
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:32
			So what does it mean?
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:35
			If there's one thing we should be doing
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:36
			every day,
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:39
			or maybe you do it once a month,
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:42
			but you divide it up into 30 days,
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:44
			let's say. You know,
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:46
			however many days there are in the month.
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:49
			Maybe you're helping a poor person,
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:52
			and poor doesn't necessarily mean a person who's
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:54
			got nothing, can even be a meskin. In
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:55
			fact, there are 8 categories.
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:57
			That's not the topic for today, the different
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:58
			categories of zakah,
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:00
			but there are 8 categories
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:03
			of the people who we can give our
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:03
			zakah to,
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:06
			and tzedakah is over and above that.
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:09
			But you can give to a faqir, a
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:10
			person who's got nothing, and you can even
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:12
			give to a miskin, a person who is,
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:16
			a person who is needy, person who doesn't
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:18
			have enough to fulfill their needs.
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:21
			So let's say you're giving to somebody,
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:23
			you know, R600
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:25
			for the month,
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:27
			every month, and you make your intention that
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:28
			it's R20 a day.
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:32
			Make intention to give something every day. You
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:32
			know why?
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:34
			You know why?
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:37
			When we go out in the morning, when
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:38
			we leave our homes in the morning, there
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:39
			are 2 angels.
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:42
			The one angel comes down and he says,
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:43
			Allahumma'ati
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:45
			munfikan
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:47
			khalafa
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:48
			Oh Allah,
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:50
			the one that spins,
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:52
			replace it with Mawya Allah.
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:57
			O Allah,
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:00
			the other angel says, O Allah, and the
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:02
			one who holds on to their wealth,
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:04
			destroy their wealth for them.
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:06
			That's what Allah
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:07
			means when He says,
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:14
			Don't,
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:17
			don't throw yourselves
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:20
			towards destruction
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:22
			by your own hands.
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:24
			Don't throw
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:26
			yourselves towards destruction.
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:28
			What is it I have to do with?
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:29
			Suicide?
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:29
			No.
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:32
			There's another verse for that, walahtakatulahamfusukum,
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:34
			don't kill yourselves.
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:37
			This ayah has to do with being stingy
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:39
			and holding on to your wealth.
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:48
			Don't throw yourselves toward destruction with your own
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:48
			hands.
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:52
			Instead, give with excellence.
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:55
			Allah loves those who give with excellence. Ihsan.
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:56
			What is Ihsan?
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:00
			To give?
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:03
			Well, Ihsan is to do any action.
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:05
			To do any action,
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:08
			as if Allah as if you can see
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:08
			Allah.
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:10
			Says the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam to us.
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:13
			What is your son? To worship Allah is
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:14
			if you see Him. And if you don't
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:15
			see Him because we can't see Him,
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:18
			verily know that He sees you, like say
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:18
			the Aisha,
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:22
			As Siddiq Atubint As Siddiq, listen to this.
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:26
			She had many nicknames. As Siddiq Atubint As
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:26
			Siddiq,
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:29
			Umul Mu'minin,
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:30
			the mother of the faithful.
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:33
			One of her nicknames was Umutib,
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:36
			the mother of
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:38
			the good fragrance,
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:41
			and not because she was wearing perfume, Ma'adullah.
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:43
			It's not permissible
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:45
			for a woman to wear perfume that a
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:46
			strange man
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:49
			can smell that scent. For a husband, yes,
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:50
			100%.
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:53
			So why was she called Umaktiv?
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:55
			Because she used to fragrance
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:57
			her pennies of charity.
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:00
			She used to take them and put them
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:00
			into musk.
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:02
			Take the pennies of charity.
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:05
			I'm just thinking you know, when when a
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:06
			beggar
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:07
			knocks at the door.
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:09
			Akima Appomani.
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:12
			You know, Inukhi it's kokho.
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:14
			Say that Aisha used
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:16
			to take her pennies of charity and put
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:17
			it into mask.
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:20
			Before she would put it into the hand
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:22
			of a poor person. And they asked her,
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:30
			Oh, mother of the faithful, why do you
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:31
			put your pennies
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:33
			of charity into mask
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:36
			before you put it into the hand of
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:36
			the poor person?
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:39
			So you know what she said?
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:40
			Li'anani
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:41
			abo'aha
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:41
			fi'adila
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:45
			papala an abo'aha
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:48
			She said, Because I put it into the
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:49
			hand of Allah
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:52
			before I put it into the hand of
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:53
			the poor person. Meaning,
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:55
			she was giving that
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:57
			sadaqah with such Ihsan
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:01
			as if she was giving it directly to
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:03
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:06
			And then the poor person would make du'afa,
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:08
			Barakillah.
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:11
			Barakillah.
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:17
			May Allah reward you. And she would say,
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:23
			And may Allah bless you and reward you.
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:25
			Many people will say, but why are you
		
00:29:25 --> 00:29:26
			making dua
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:27
			for that person?
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:30
			They're making dua for you because you gave
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:31
			them a charity.
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:34
			You know, very often we very quickly when
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:35
			we give something,
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:38
			and then a person thanks us, pay shukkurana
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:41
			ji. You know, thank you very much, and
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:43
			then what do we say? Make Dua. Make
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:44
			Dua.
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:46
			Make Dua for me.
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:49
			You know what Shidaisha used to do? She
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:50
			would when they made du'a,
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:54
			she would make the exact same du'a for
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:56
			them. And then when they asked her, why
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:57
			do you do this? She said,
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:07
			She said, in order that my du'a
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:09
			should equal their du'a,
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:13
			and the charity should remain purely and sincerely
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:15
			for the sake of Allah.
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:22
			Don't
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:26
			throw yourselves towards destruction by your own hands,
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:28
			by holding on to your wealth, by being
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:31
			stingy. No. This doesn't belong to us.
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:39
			And spend out of that which Allah has
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:40
			made you trustees of.
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:43
			Allah has only placed it into our hands
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:43
			as an Amanah,
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:46
			as a
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:51
			trust. Give to them of Allah's money that
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:53
			which is given to you. Like the lady
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:54
			in Damascus, I know I've told the story
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:56
			before. The lady with a baby, remember?
		
00:30:58 --> 00:30:59
			And, we used to walk past her
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:02
			by the Maqam of Abi Darda,
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:05
			which is on the left hand side
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:07
			of Sukh Al Hamidiyah in Damascus.
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:10
			And
		
00:31:10 --> 00:31:12
			when we used to walk past her, she'd
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:13
			literally grab us,
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:14
			grab you,
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:16
			and she will say,
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:23
			People thought she was crazy, but you know
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:25
			what? She was actually speaking the truth.
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:28
			She said, give to me of Allah's money.
		
00:31:29 --> 00:31:30
			Give to me of Allah's money.
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:34
			You know, actually it gets like quite eerie
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:36
			because you know Allah has put this person
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:37
			on the road for you.
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:40
			You know Allah has put this person here
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:43
			to test you. Give me of Allah's money.
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:43
			Sadaqat.
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:45
			She's spoken the truth.
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:49
			And because we believe that Allah will replace
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:50
			it and even with more, and reward us,
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:51
			and forgive us,
		
00:31:57 --> 00:31:59
			And we're speaking about the 7 types of
		
00:31:59 --> 00:32:01
			people that will be in the shade
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:03
			of Allah on the day when there is
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:04
			no shade except his shade.
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:08
			This is the one action, sadaqah, where there's
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:12
			a specific hadith for this protection.
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:15
			The prophet said that a person will be
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:17
			under the shade. You know, the sun is
		
00:32:17 --> 00:32:19
			gonna close to the Earth. People are gonna
		
00:32:19 --> 00:32:20
			be drowning in this sweat.
		
00:32:26 --> 00:32:29
			A person Yomul Qiyamah, the Prophet said. A
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:31
			person will be like an umbrella,
		
00:32:32 --> 00:32:33
			like an umbrella.
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:35
			Sadaqa, he says, is a protection, like an
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:37
			umbrella on the day of your mukiyama.
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:40
			The person will be under their sadaqa, under
		
00:32:40 --> 00:32:43
			the protection of their sadaqa until people are
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:44
			divided up.
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:48
			InshaAllah, hopefully that person now will go with
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:50
			their brolly, with their umbrella, to the muttaqeen,
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:52
			to be chauffeured to janatul nayeem.
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:56
			We must spend.
		
00:33:01 --> 00:33:03
			Don't tie your hand to your neck.
		
00:33:04 --> 00:33:05
			Wala tabusutukulalbast,
		
00:33:07 --> 00:33:08
			and don't give everything away.
		
00:33:08 --> 00:33:09
			Fur taq'udamaloomin
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:12
			masura because then you will end up blameworthy
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:15
			afwan. The first says, you will end up
		
00:33:15 --> 00:33:15
			insolvent
		
00:33:17 --> 00:33:17
			and blameworthy.
		
00:33:19 --> 00:33:21
			Actually, no, malumon, malumon is blameworthy. You'll end
		
00:33:21 --> 00:33:22
			up blameworthy and insolvent.
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:24
			Why so? Because
		
00:33:24 --> 00:33:26
			if a man gives all his wealth away,
		
00:33:26 --> 00:33:28
			he's gonna be blameworthy first by who? By
		
00:33:28 --> 00:33:28
			the wife.
		
00:33:29 --> 00:33:31
			Like a man in China who was a
		
00:33:31 --> 00:33:33
			billionaire, he gave all his wealth away,
		
00:33:34 --> 00:33:35
			and, I think
		
00:33:36 --> 00:33:38
			at his death at his death, all his
		
00:33:38 --> 00:33:40
			of his wealth went to charity, and his
		
00:33:40 --> 00:33:42
			wife and his children went hungry. So
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:44
			Allah says, don't tie your hand to your
		
00:33:44 --> 00:33:45
			neck. Don't be stingy.
		
00:33:48 --> 00:33:50
			And don't give everything away
		
00:33:50 --> 00:33:51
			because
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:52
			you'll end up blameworthy,
		
00:33:53 --> 00:33:54
			and you'll end up insolvent.
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:08
			And those that when they spend, they're not
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:09
			wasteful.
		
00:34:09 --> 00:34:11
			They don't give everything away.
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:13
			At the same time, they are not stingy
		
00:34:14 --> 00:34:16
			but they find a path in between.
		
00:34:17 --> 00:34:18
			Wallahi, we can always
		
00:34:19 --> 00:34:21
			Every single one of us can give something.
		
00:34:22 --> 00:34:23
			Don't wait for the rich just to give.
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:25
			Yes, they've got a bigger
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:26
			they've got a bigger
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:29
			Amana. They've got a bigger weight on their
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:30
			shoulders.
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:31
			That's why
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:33
			that's why for Dayri bin Nayyad he said,
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:36
			be careful what you wish for.
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:38
			A person that wishes for a lot of
		
00:34:38 --> 00:34:40
			Pesah, khal, miren,
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:41
			bucks,
		
00:34:42 --> 00:34:43
			wishes for a long court case in front
		
00:34:43 --> 00:34:45
			of Allah on the day of qiyam.
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:46
			Wamanuq
		
00:34:46 --> 00:34:47
			minayinaktasabtahuafimaan
		
00:34:48 --> 00:34:50
			faqta. Your money, where did you get it
		
00:34:50 --> 00:34:52
			from and how did you spend it?
		
00:34:53 --> 00:34:54
			So the more we have, the more we're
		
00:34:54 --> 00:34:56
			gonna be answerable for. But money is not
		
00:34:56 --> 00:34:58
			the root to all evil.
		
00:34:58 --> 00:35:00
			It is the love of money.
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:03
			Says Al Imam Sufyanathuri.
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:05
			The love of the dunya is at the
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:08
			head of all era because when we allow
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:09
			the dunya into our hearts,
		
00:35:10 --> 00:35:12
			our 2 things cannot be joined into
		
00:35:12 --> 00:35:14
			into the same heart.
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:16
			You Musa, Ma'a hapani man hapadinunya.
		
00:35:17 --> 00:35:18
			Fayinhu layasawqalbunwahhidun
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:19
			hubbiwahhubah
		
00:35:20 --> 00:35:22
			abadah. O Musa, he does not love me
		
00:35:22 --> 00:35:24
			he who loves the dunya because the love
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:25
			of me and the love of the dunya
		
00:35:25 --> 00:35:28
			cannot be joined together in the same heart.
		
00:35:29 --> 00:35:31
			Keep the dunya in the pocket and,
		
00:35:32 --> 00:35:32
			under the pillow,
		
00:35:34 --> 00:35:35
			whatever that might be,
		
00:35:36 --> 00:35:38
			or in the bank, whatever the case might
		
00:35:38 --> 00:35:39
			be, inshallah, not
		
00:35:39 --> 00:35:41
			accumulating interest,
		
00:35:41 --> 00:35:43
			but know that it is only there in
		
00:35:43 --> 00:35:45
			order to be spent after we have seen
		
00:35:45 --> 00:35:46
			to our needs
		
00:35:48 --> 00:35:49
			and the needs of our dependents. We are
		
00:35:49 --> 00:35:51
			not supposed to hold on to our wealth.
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:55
			And that's why
		
00:35:55 --> 00:35:57
			our sisters, those who are home executives,
		
00:35:57 --> 00:35:58
			those who are
		
00:35:59 --> 00:36:02
			home executives, let's give the proper titles here,
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:04
			they love this hadith,
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:06
			where the prophet said, sallallahu alam,
		
00:36:11 --> 00:36:13
			The best coin that a man can spend
		
00:36:13 --> 00:36:15
			is a coin that he spends on his?
		
00:36:15 --> 00:36:16
			On his dependence,
		
00:36:17 --> 00:36:18
			and then on his relatives.
		
00:36:19 --> 00:36:21
			He still got more? On the poor, and
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:24
			the needy, and the wayfarer, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
		
00:36:25 --> 00:36:27
			But we are not supposed to hoard our
		
00:36:27 --> 00:36:28
			wealth.
		
00:36:46 --> 00:36:48
			As for those who hoard up their gold
		
00:36:48 --> 00:36:50
			and their silver and don't spend it in
		
00:36:50 --> 00:36:51
			the path of Allah,
		
00:36:53 --> 00:36:55
			Warn them of a painful torment.
		
00:36:56 --> 00:36:58
			Give them the tidings of a painful torment.
		
00:36:59 --> 00:37:01
			The day when they and their wealth will
		
00:37:01 --> 00:37:03
			be thrown into the fire and
		
00:37:04 --> 00:37:05
			then it will be melted down and it
		
00:37:05 --> 00:37:07
			will be cast into a branding rod.
		
00:37:08 --> 00:37:10
			You know like the, when they brand the
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:10
			cows,
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:16
			that'll happen on the day of Qiyamah, in
		
00:37:16 --> 00:37:16
			Jahannam.
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:19
			All that wealth will be cast into a
		
00:37:19 --> 00:37:21
			branding rod, and then they will be branded
		
00:37:21 --> 00:37:23
			on their foreheads and on their sides and
		
00:37:23 --> 00:37:24
			on their backs.
		
00:37:30 --> 00:37:31
			This is what you hoarded up
		
00:37:32 --> 00:37:34
			for yourselves on the dunya, so now taste
		
00:37:34 --> 00:37:35
			what you hoarded
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:37
			up. Allah has only given it to us
		
00:37:37 --> 00:37:39
			that we can look after ourselves, fulfill our
		
00:37:39 --> 00:37:42
			needs, the needs of our dependents, and the
		
00:37:42 --> 00:37:44
			rest we must spend in the path of
		
00:37:46 --> 00:37:48
			heal your sick with charity.
		
00:37:50 --> 00:37:51
			As we heard, charity
		
00:37:53 --> 00:37:54
			is a protection for us in the day
		
00:37:54 --> 00:37:55
			of your mukiyama.
		
00:37:56 --> 00:37:58
			Charity puts out sins
		
00:37:58 --> 00:38:00
			just like water puts out fire,
		
00:38:01 --> 00:38:03
			And we can go on and on and
		
00:38:03 --> 00:38:04
			on and on with the fadail,
		
00:38:05 --> 00:38:08
			with the virtues of giving sadaqah. Allah Subhanahu
		
00:38:08 --> 00:38:10
			Wa Ta'ala make us of Al Mutasadiqinawal
		
00:38:11 --> 00:38:11
			Mutasadiqat.
		
00:38:13 --> 00:38:15
			Those that show and prove our belief
		
00:38:15 --> 00:38:18
			that when we spend in the path of
		
00:38:18 --> 00:38:20
			Allah, we know that Allah
		
00:38:21 --> 00:38:21
			yuklifu,
		
00:38:22 --> 00:38:24
			that Allah will replace it, Allah will multiply
		
00:38:24 --> 00:38:26
			it. Allah will put baraka in it. And
		
00:38:26 --> 00:38:27
			more importantly,
		
00:38:27 --> 00:38:28
			it will save us
		
00:38:29 --> 00:38:30
			even half a day.
		
00:38:33 --> 00:38:35
			Shield yourselves from the fire
		
00:38:36 --> 00:38:38
			even if it is with half a date.
		
00:38:38 --> 00:38:39
			May Allah make us of those who spend
		
00:38:39 --> 00:38:41
			in the path of Allah. Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:38:41 --> 00:38:42
			Ta'ala make us of those
		
00:38:43 --> 00:38:43
			who spend
		
00:38:44 --> 00:38:46
			especially where it is needed. Look what's happening
		
00:38:46 --> 00:38:48
			to our brothers and sisters in Gaza.
		
00:38:49 --> 00:38:51
			Our brothers and sisters for how many years
		
00:38:51 --> 00:38:53
			now have been living in refugee camps in
		
00:38:53 --> 00:38:54
			places like Syria.
		
00:38:55 --> 00:38:57
			Our Rohingya brothers and sisters
		
00:38:58 --> 00:39:00
			who have also lost everything
		
00:39:00 --> 00:39:02
			and are living in one place in Bangladesh
		
00:39:02 --> 00:39:04
			on a little island
		
00:39:04 --> 00:39:07
			in in squalor and and abject poverty and
		
00:39:07 --> 00:39:08
			many other parts of the world.
		
00:39:08 --> 00:39:09
			Let us prioritize
		
00:39:10 --> 00:39:11
			that insha Allahu ta'ala,
		
00:39:13 --> 00:39:14
			we can give something.
		
00:39:21 --> 00:39:22
			I end with this hadith.
		
00:39:27 --> 00:39:29
			1 dirham is worth more than a 1,000
		
00:39:29 --> 00:39:30
			dirham.
		
00:39:31 --> 00:39:32
			Sahaba says, How is that possible, O Messenger
		
00:39:32 --> 00:39:34
			of Allah? He says, A man came, he
		
00:39:34 --> 00:39:35
			only had 2 dirhams.
		
00:39:35 --> 00:39:37
			He gave 1 dirham away and he kept
		
00:39:37 --> 00:39:38
			one for himself and his family.
		
00:39:39 --> 00:39:40
			And the other man had
		
00:39:40 --> 00:39:42
			a treasure of daraiyam.
		
00:39:42 --> 00:39:44
			He had lots of money in other words.
		
00:39:44 --> 00:39:46
			And he only gave a small amount
		
00:39:47 --> 00:39:49
			which was a 1,000 dirham. That 1 dirham
		
00:39:49 --> 00:39:51
			is worth more in the eyes of Allah
		
00:39:51 --> 00:39:53
			than the 1,000 dirham. Allah
		
00:39:54 --> 00:39:56
			give us the tawfiq to give what we
		
00:39:56 --> 00:39:56
			can,
		
00:39:57 --> 00:39:59
			and let that tadaqa be a benefit for
		
00:39:59 --> 00:40:00
			us on the dunya
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:03
			and be a means of attaining His forgiveness
		
00:40:03 --> 00:40:05
			and His Jannah on the day of your
		
00:40:05 --> 00:40:06
			Muqtiyah. Wa akhludawanaanalhamdulillahrubillahumalamin.
		
00:40:08 --> 00:40:09
			Wassalaamu alaykum Rahmatullahi
