Although we live in a shift on the regime Smilla Rahmanir Rahim Al
hamdu lillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah.
While early he was so happy when my while
we are all capable as human beings of having views
and we are all capable of forming opinions.
But we do not always make good judgments.
And by good judgment, I mean the analytic skill or the mental and
emotional capacity or ability to use information that you may have
to exercise your wisdom to choose the best option in making a right
decision.
Now, people who normally make good judgments are people who think,
who think sensibly, people who listen carefully, and people who
act practically
as we reflect on gurus, amico, Mina Sierra in Abuja, profound
lessons from the life of the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, we find examples in how the Prophet made good judgments
and also respected the good judgment of other people. Whether
people differed among themselves in the process, or even when they
held the view different from his own.
One such incident occurred on the day of
when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to his companions,
a group of them were traveling. He said lie you suddenly hadn't Lhasa
elaphiti bunu carova
You should not offer the acid prayer. Those traveling once
accepted by Nucala.
So the people left for Andraka alguma Asha fitori. For Karla
Babu. Learner Sally had Tata Tia, so as they were traveling, and so
the time came, but they were not at the destination yet. So the
group said some of them said, we are not going to pray until we get
to the new calleva.
We'll call about
another group among them are some among them say, Well, no,
actually, let me let me let me Nabi Derek,
he said, We will pray at the spot for the Prophet did not really
intended what you are thinking.
Now we observe two groups
of people from among the companions of the Rasul, reacting
differently to one instruction of the Prophet.
One, follow the letter of the word, perform ourselves at Bhanu
calleva.
So the took the words of the Prophet literally,
the other group felt, yes, we take the words of the Prophet
literally, but the intent of the Prophet was for them perhaps, to
speed up for safety reasons, and to get to the destination as
quickly as possible and to be in time by that place by Arsenal
time. So when they did not make it in time despite hurrying up they
pray the way they were some pray on the way because as time was in
the other said, No, we'll pray only when we get to wherever that
is.
What was the prophet said Allahu Allah was slums reaction to these
completely differing actions to his single instruction. For the
credit for Lukianov, it can be said Allahu alayhi wa salam for
Lim young if wide minimum,
where it was later mentioned to the Prophet said one group roster
on the way in the other prayed acid at the destination, Admiral
Karela. He did not reprimand nor rebuke, nor condemn either of the
two groups, because he respected the judgments.
Now, another incident pertaining to a suggestion made
to the Prophet NT battle another
one of the companions
had a different view from what the Muslims were doing and what the
prophet instructed regarding the arranging of the army at the
battle, and the place where they need to be stationed for Muslim
defenders came down from the Valley of VLDL to meet the army of
Quraysh. And initially they chose the first roll outside Medina at
which to do the battle.
So a companion by the name of her Bible Monday, he asked the Prophet
ya rasool Allah.
Are we standing here because Allah instructed you and gave you divine
revelation?
If that's the case, we don't move one step forward, no one step back
or is this merely a matter of your opinion? So, the Rasul said, Bill
who are writing while Herbold Makita, he said is merely my
opinion and no war is bad strategy and planning. So, he said Ya
rasool Allah, for in the Harada Lisa LASIK of human zeal, if then
in that case, he was merely an opinion, then this is not the
right place.
Meaning if we are the first Well, there are other wells in the
enemies who are outnumbered three to one will have access to water,
let us go to the furthest well, so that we have access to all the
water and they may turn back strategy of war.
So he suggested that for Cumberland Nabi, Al here of the
Prophet chose his opinion, or that option, which was a better option.
Now, the glaring lesson for us is that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wasallam, this final messenger of Allah, the best of creation, the
recipient of divine revelation, he consulted and he did not hesitate
to respectfully consider alternate perspectives, or entertain
differing opinions, and then make an informed decision based on the
better option, even if an option was not his option, but the option
of someone else. A cold call yada. Let's start with Allah. wa salam
aleikum wa rahmatullah.
