AI: Summary ©
The Bible highlights the importance of rewarding good deeds with both reward and punishment, rather than just rewarding them. A sponsor-led YouTube channel and a parable about consistent behavior highlight the benefits of rewarding good deeds. In a separate incident involving a farmer's statement about a woman who talks too long, the speaker emphasizes the importance of collectivity and promises for rewarding good deeds. The transcript also includes a humorous incident involving a farmer's statement about a woman who talks too long and gives a hugely accurate expression.

00:00:18 --> 00:00:23

Quran Al Karim nights of empowerment, parables and wisdom

00:00:23 --> 00:00:24

from the Glorious Quran.

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

The very presence of a believer in any situation should always be a

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

mantra, a source of benefit, a means of value.

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

Who say every action should reflect Exxon Oh goodness.

00:00:42 --> 00:00:46

Because Allah subhanho wa Taala has prescribed the Assad in

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

everything we do as the Rasul said, in Allah cuttable Asana,

00:00:51 --> 00:00:56

Allah Konishi, and Allah assures wax you know, in Allahu Akbar

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

Mursaleen. We have those who do good and manifest goodness, for

00:01:00 --> 00:01:02

surely Allah loves those who do good.

00:01:03 --> 00:01:07

And as Allah rhetorically confirms, when he asked Halal

00:01:07 --> 00:01:13

Jessa only axon in the sun can the consequences can the consequence

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15

of goodness be anything but goodness.

00:01:18 --> 00:01:24

But more than that, there is an evident divine inclination to

00:01:24 --> 00:01:27

increase the reward for the good we do, though we should be

00:01:27 --> 00:01:31

cautious not to take lightly the punishment of Allah.

00:01:32 --> 00:01:37

Both of these are real. But there is a divine inclination to

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

increase reward for the good that we do, but to minimize the

00:01:41 --> 00:01:45

punishment for the wrong that we do, part of the justice of Allah,

00:01:45 --> 00:01:49

but also the preponderance of the mercy of the Divine. And therefore

00:01:49 --> 00:01:53

Allah says in the Quran, mangia Abdullah Hassan a fella who ashram

00:01:53 --> 00:01:56

fairly woman job is say here, for now you

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

were hula over the moon, whoever does good for such Allah will

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

reward them and he says Allah will reward them tenfold 10 times the

00:02:07 --> 00:02:10

value of the goodness that they have done. And for those who sin,

00:02:11 --> 00:02:15

the retribution for sin is only to the extent of the wrongs that they

00:02:15 --> 00:02:20

have done. Reward 10 times, but punishment if there is only to the

00:02:20 --> 00:02:24

extent of listen for Allah subhanho wa Taala does not like

00:02:24 --> 00:02:28

those noisy of those who oppresses or does wrong.

00:02:29 --> 00:02:34

The parable for consideration here reiterates this promise of Allah,

00:02:34 --> 00:02:38

this promise for multiple reward for many fold reward. Allah

00:02:38 --> 00:02:43

subhanho wa Taala says, Massa do Lavina use visa vie de la cama

00:02:43 --> 00:02:45

Sally hub umbertide savasana

00:02:47 --> 00:02:52

Miata hub, Wallah, you got it from the magician. Allah was here on

00:02:52 --> 00:02:56

the parable of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah

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

is like a seed of grain, which grows seven spikes and each spike

00:03:02 --> 00:03:08

100 grains. Allah multiplies his reward for whom He wills. And this

00:03:09 --> 00:03:13

verse of the Quran is further explained and corroborated by a

00:03:13 --> 00:03:15

saying of our beloved prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa

00:03:15 --> 00:03:18

sallam documented as a young Muslim, a very well known

00:03:18 --> 00:03:23

tradition with the resulted Kulu humbly Adam Yudof who has not

00:03:23 --> 00:03:26

actually earlier Allah Subhana Allah Subhan

00:03:28 --> 00:03:32

Allah subhanaw taala will reward the Rasul Tim has an ashram Salia

00:03:32 --> 00:03:38

10 times the value Isla saba meity, there have been up to 700

00:03:38 --> 00:03:40

times the reward.

00:03:41 --> 00:03:45

From this we get an impression in the pitcher created by this

00:03:45 --> 00:03:49

parable, like a single seed, a good deed which you have planted

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

for which brings forth hundreds of grains, hundreds of benefits

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

hundreds of rewards. Allah causes the rewards for the good deeds to

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

grow and to multiply in a similar manner as to add seed defer to in

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

the parable.

00:04:05 --> 00:04:09

Now, this is not intended this verse not intended to burden us

00:04:09 --> 00:04:13

with a lot of deeds. So we get a lot of agile, it doesn't mean you

00:04:13 --> 00:04:17

must always be busy doing something preoccupy yourself with

00:04:17 --> 00:04:20

a particular thing. Because whenever good is done sincerely,

00:04:20 --> 00:04:24

that is with pure intention that is of benefit. It can be feeding

00:04:24 --> 00:04:28

someone teaching someone lending a shoulder someone may be depressed,

00:04:29 --> 00:04:31

lending an ear to someone who needs to be heard.

00:04:32 --> 00:04:36

All of this are hashing out all of these are good deeds. So any of

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

these good deeds we do. It doesn't mean Allah wishes us to be

00:04:39 --> 00:04:42

constantly involved in a particular form of worship in

00:04:42 --> 00:04:46

order to get this reward. Rather, this is a reconfirmation of the

00:04:46 --> 00:04:50

promise, whatever good you do, Allah however literally it may be

00:04:50 --> 00:04:54

or literally it may seem, Allah will reward you manifold, as it

00:04:54 --> 00:04:57

also sallallahu alayhi wa ala he was hard he was seldom said in the

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59

Hadith, documented in the Sunnah with him

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

larger,

00:05:01 --> 00:05:05

igloo home and family Michael Deikun. Emily, Eduardo, however,

00:05:05 --> 00:05:06

in

00:05:07 --> 00:05:10

the good deeds that you must do, do it according to the best of

00:05:10 --> 00:05:16

your ability. Because the best of deeds are those deeds, which are

00:05:16 --> 00:05:20

done consistently, even if it's little by little. It doesn't have

00:05:20 --> 00:05:24

to be a tremendous amount of deeds. But what you do

00:05:24 --> 00:05:28

consistently, little by little, sometimes you find people do this,

00:05:28 --> 00:05:30

they won't do anything for the whole week, in a particular night,

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

they'll pray the whole night Juden everything much of a good and then

00:05:33 --> 00:05:36

the whole week, they don't do anything. Or in Ramadan, they'll

00:05:36 --> 00:05:39

give all charity and the rest of the year they'd done with charity.

00:05:39 --> 00:05:43

Now, that's not how you do it. So goodness you do on those evenings

00:05:43 --> 00:05:47

and that month, must be perpetuated through the for that

00:05:47 --> 00:05:51

to become a consistent part of your character and behavior. So on

00:05:51 --> 00:05:55

this point, I want to bring two incidences, Wallace crudely

00:05:55 --> 00:05:59

humorous, and the other one is profoundly thought provoking.

00:06:01 --> 00:06:06

As for the, for the crudely humorous one, Juha a devout

00:06:06 --> 00:06:11

farmer, went to the sheiks class, but nobody turned up to the class,

00:06:11 --> 00:06:18

except for her. So she asked Joe, who was farmer, it? Shall I give

00:06:18 --> 00:06:20

the class you're the only one who's here.

00:06:21 --> 00:06:25

And Joe has said, you know, I have a farm. And if only one sheep

00:06:25 --> 00:06:29

comes, I still feed it. So she said Well, in the shed give his

00:06:29 --> 00:06:33

lecture. But lo and behold, the shed gave his entire lecture he

00:06:33 --> 00:06:37

spoke for over an hour. After the lecture, he noticed Juha the

00:06:37 --> 00:06:42

farmer was very irritated. And he said to him, what's wrong? Why are

00:06:42 --> 00:06:46

you so irritated? He said, she spoke too long. The Sheikh said,

00:06:46 --> 00:06:51

Remember, if only one sheep comes, you still feed it? He said, Yes,

00:06:51 --> 00:06:53

yes. But don't give him all the food one time.

00:06:55 --> 00:07:00

So not too much at one time, rather bit by bit, regularly is

00:07:00 --> 00:07:03

good enough. This is humorous, but even in the life of Rasulullah

00:07:03 --> 00:07:07

sallallahu alayhi wasallam. There were three sahab of the Sahaba

00:07:07 --> 00:07:09

versus was the one who made a vow among themselves because they

00:07:09 --> 00:07:12

wanted to purify and improve themselves with good intention.

00:07:13 --> 00:07:16

And this is yours will Allah wants it? I'm going to fast everyday.

00:07:17 --> 00:07:22

Once it I will be beyond the whole night every night. And once it

00:07:22 --> 00:07:24

I'll abstain from intimacy with my wife.

00:07:25 --> 00:07:26

Had you Hadith in Sahih Muslim?

00:07:28 --> 00:07:31

And they also said why are you doing this? I am the Rasul of

00:07:31 --> 00:07:36

Allah. I eat some days and fast some days. I pray part of the

00:07:36 --> 00:07:39

night and actually part of the night and I have intimacy with my

00:07:39 --> 00:07:39

wife.

00:07:40 --> 00:07:44

Then he said in that hadith from a Robinson that the fundraiser money

00:07:44 --> 00:07:47

you always hear and then he got, let's say, from a receiver and

00:07:47 --> 00:07:50

sooner or later money, let comes from this part of the Hadith.

00:07:50 --> 00:07:55

Whoever doesn't follow my sunnah is not of Me. In other words, do

00:07:55 --> 00:07:58

what you can to the best of your ability. Don't overdo it. Allah

00:07:58 --> 00:08:01

didn't put a burden upon you more than you can be law you can live

00:08:01 --> 00:08:05

long enough sun Hills I was on. The other incident brings to our

00:08:05 --> 00:08:06

attention.

00:08:07 --> 00:08:11

The one is now the humorous one do little by little don't give the

00:08:11 --> 00:08:15

whole feed one time. On the other hand, sometimes we do a good deed

00:08:15 --> 00:08:17

but don't realize how it comes back in a different way. If you

00:08:17 --> 00:08:22

don't see it, and Allah finds ways and avenues for those of us who

00:08:22 --> 00:08:25

are good in sha Allah, Allah brings the reward in different

00:08:25 --> 00:08:31

ways. This is an incident of a prize winning maize farmer in

00:08:31 --> 00:08:33

Azerbaijan prize winning maize farmer,

00:08:35 --> 00:08:39

his maize one at the National Agricultural show every year.

00:08:40 --> 00:08:46

However, it was found that this farmer, he shares the seeds with

00:08:46 --> 00:08:46

his neighbor.

00:08:47 --> 00:08:52

So the news reporter been to inquire Why would you give your

00:08:52 --> 00:08:55

seeds to your neighbor, because now they can compete with you, you

00:08:55 --> 00:08:57

are the best. So the farmer said

00:08:59 --> 00:09:03

the wind picks up pollen from the ripening maize and blows from

00:09:03 --> 00:09:08

field to field. If my neighbor grows inferior maize, cross

00:09:08 --> 00:09:13

pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my maize, because

00:09:13 --> 00:09:17

cross pollination, the seed from the comes, your mind goes over

00:09:17 --> 00:09:22

there. So if I want my good maize to be great, I must help my

00:09:22 --> 00:09:27

neighbor to grow a good crop. This is the power of collectivity

00:09:27 --> 00:09:32

basically implies none of us truly wins. On this earth, others also

00:09:32 --> 00:09:38

benefit from all of this, we realize the following one, Allah

00:09:38 --> 00:09:43

in his infinite mercy and wisdom multiplies rewards for our good

00:09:43 --> 00:09:47

deeds. Please don't take the punishment for granted.

00:09:48 --> 00:09:53

But do understand he multiplies rewards for good deeds. So be

00:09:53 --> 00:09:57

confident of the Promise of Allah subhanho wa Taala as Allah says,

00:09:57 --> 00:10:00

What are the Allahu Allah? What

00:10:00 --> 00:10:03

I'm in Saleh and Allah promises those who have faith and

00:10:03 --> 00:10:06

manifested faith in good deeds, the Houma Ophira for them they

00:10:06 --> 00:10:10

will be forgiveness. What are the men a tremendous reward? First

00:10:10 --> 00:10:16

point, Allah's Mercy multiplies reward for good deeds. Number two,

00:10:17 --> 00:10:22

our existence becomes enriched by enhancing the lives of those

00:10:22 --> 00:10:23

around us.

00:10:25 --> 00:10:28

And number three, whatever little we do

00:10:29 --> 00:10:34

our family in the best of these are those little by little but

00:10:34 --> 00:10:37

regular and consistent, but even little by little,

00:10:38 --> 00:10:43

whatever little we do, maybe like a drop in the ocean. But the vast

00:10:43 --> 00:10:49

ocean is made up of drops, no drops, no ocean,

00:10:50 --> 00:10:54

every drop counts. And Allah subhanho wa Taala looks at every

00:10:54 --> 00:10:58

little detail. And Percherons little the MacGillis manifold

00:10:58 --> 00:11:03

reward Akula kolyada was tougher Allah wa salam Wa alaykum wa

00:11:03 --> 00:11:04

Rahmatullah
