Although we live in a shift on the regime Smilla Rahmanir Rahim Al

00:00:04 --> 00:00:07

hamdu lillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah.

00:00:08 --> 00:00:11

While early he was so happy when my while

00:00:13 --> 00:00:18

we are all capable as human beings of having views

00:00:19 --> 00:00:22

and we are all capable of forming opinions.

00:00:23 --> 00:00:28

But we do not always make good judgments.

00:00:30 --> 00:00:37

And by good judgment, I mean the analytic skill or the mental and

00:00:37 --> 00:00:42

emotional capacity or ability to use information that you may have

00:00:43 --> 00:00:49

to exercise your wisdom to choose the best option in making a right

00:00:49 --> 00:00:50

decision.

00:00:51 --> 00:00:55

Now, people who normally make good judgments are people who think,

00:00:56 --> 00:01:01

who think sensibly, people who listen carefully, and people who

00:01:01 --> 00:01:03

act practically

00:01:04 --> 00:01:10

as we reflect on gurus, amico, Mina Sierra in Abuja, profound

00:01:10 --> 00:01:13

lessons from the life of the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa

00:01:13 --> 00:01:18

sallam, we find examples in how the Prophet made good judgments

00:01:19 --> 00:01:24

and also respected the good judgment of other people. Whether

00:01:24 --> 00:01:28

people differed among themselves in the process, or even when they

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

held the view different from his own.

00:01:33 --> 00:01:35

One such incident occurred on the day of

00:01:37 --> 00:01:41

when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to his companions,

00:01:41 --> 00:01:46

a group of them were traveling. He said lie you suddenly hadn't Lhasa

00:01:46 --> 00:01:48

elaphiti bunu carova

00:01:49 --> 00:01:52

You should not offer the acid prayer. Those traveling once

00:01:52 --> 00:01:54

accepted by Nucala.

00:01:56 --> 00:02:03

So the people left for Andraka alguma Asha fitori. For Karla

00:02:03 --> 00:02:09

Babu. Learner Sally had Tata Tia, so as they were traveling, and so

00:02:09 --> 00:02:14

the time came, but they were not at the destination yet. So the

00:02:14 --> 00:02:18

group said some of them said, we are not going to pray until we get

00:02:18 --> 00:02:19

to the new calleva.

00:02:21 --> 00:02:22

We'll call about

00:02:23 --> 00:02:26

another group among them are some among them say, Well, no,

00:02:26 --> 00:02:29

actually, let me let me let me Nabi Derek,

00:02:30 --> 00:02:35

he said, We will pray at the spot for the Prophet did not really

00:02:35 --> 00:02:37

intended what you are thinking.

00:02:38 --> 00:02:40

Now we observe two groups

00:02:41 --> 00:02:46

of people from among the companions of the Rasul, reacting

00:02:46 --> 00:02:48

differently to one instruction of the Prophet.

00:02:49 --> 00:02:55

One, follow the letter of the word, perform ourselves at Bhanu

00:02:55 --> 00:02:55

calleva.

00:02:57 --> 00:03:01

So the took the words of the Prophet literally,

00:03:02 --> 00:03:05

the other group felt, yes, we take the words of the Prophet

00:03:05 --> 00:03:09

literally, but the intent of the Prophet was for them perhaps, to

00:03:09 --> 00:03:14

speed up for safety reasons, and to get to the destination as

00:03:14 --> 00:03:19

quickly as possible and to be in time by that place by Arsenal

00:03:19 --> 00:03:24

time. So when they did not make it in time despite hurrying up they

00:03:24 --> 00:03:30

pray the way they were some pray on the way because as time was in

00:03:30 --> 00:03:34

the other said, No, we'll pray only when we get to wherever that

00:03:34 --> 00:03:35

is.

00:03:36 --> 00:03:39

What was the prophet said Allahu Allah was slums reaction to these

00:03:39 --> 00:03:44

completely differing actions to his single instruction. For the

00:03:44 --> 00:03:47

credit for Lukianov, it can be said Allahu alayhi wa salam for

00:03:47 --> 00:03:49

Lim young if wide minimum,

00:03:50 --> 00:03:54

where it was later mentioned to the Prophet said one group roster

00:03:54 --> 00:03:58

on the way in the other prayed acid at the destination, Admiral

00:03:58 --> 00:04:04

Karela. He did not reprimand nor rebuke, nor condemn either of the

00:04:04 --> 00:04:09

two groups, because he respected the judgments.

00:04:11 --> 00:04:16

Now, another incident pertaining to a suggestion made

00:04:17 --> 00:04:19

to the Prophet NT battle another

00:04:21 --> 00:04:22

one of the companions

00:04:23 --> 00:04:26

had a different view from what the Muslims were doing and what the

00:04:26 --> 00:04:31

prophet instructed regarding the arranging of the army at the

00:04:31 --> 00:04:36

battle, and the place where they need to be stationed for Muslim

00:04:36 --> 00:04:39

defenders came down from the Valley of VLDL to meet the army of

00:04:39 --> 00:04:45

Quraysh. And initially they chose the first roll outside Medina at

00:04:45 --> 00:04:46

which to do the battle.

00:04:47 --> 00:04:52

So a companion by the name of her Bible Monday, he asked the Prophet

00:04:52 --> 00:04:53

ya rasool Allah.

00:04:55 --> 00:04:59

Are we standing here because Allah instructed you and gave you divine

00:04:59 --> 00:04:59

revelation?

00:05:00 --> 00:05:04

If that's the case, we don't move one step forward, no one step back

00:05:05 --> 00:05:10

or is this merely a matter of your opinion? So, the Rasul said, Bill

00:05:10 --> 00:05:14

who are writing while Herbold Makita, he said is merely my

00:05:14 --> 00:05:20

opinion and no war is bad strategy and planning. So, he said Ya

00:05:20 --> 00:05:25

rasool Allah, for in the Harada Lisa LASIK of human zeal, if then

00:05:25 --> 00:05:28

in that case, he was merely an opinion, then this is not the

00:05:28 --> 00:05:28

right place.

00:05:30 --> 00:05:33

Meaning if we are the first Well, there are other wells in the

00:05:33 --> 00:05:37

enemies who are outnumbered three to one will have access to water,

00:05:38 --> 00:05:41

let us go to the furthest well, so that we have access to all the

00:05:41 --> 00:05:44

water and they may turn back strategy of war.

00:05:46 --> 00:05:51

So he suggested that for Cumberland Nabi, Al here of the

00:05:52 --> 00:05:56

Prophet chose his opinion, or that option, which was a better option.

00:05:57 --> 00:06:02

Now, the glaring lesson for us is that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi

00:06:02 --> 00:06:07

wasallam, this final messenger of Allah, the best of creation, the

00:06:07 --> 00:06:13

recipient of divine revelation, he consulted and he did not hesitate

00:06:13 --> 00:06:19

to respectfully consider alternate perspectives, or entertain

00:06:19 --> 00:06:25

differing opinions, and then make an informed decision based on the

00:06:25 --> 00:06:30

better option, even if an option was not his option, but the option

00:06:30 --> 00:06:34

of someone else. A cold call yada. Let's start with Allah. wa salam

00:06:34 --> 00:06:36

aleikum wa rahmatullah.
