I greet you with a Islamic universal greeting of peace. May
the peace the mercy and the blessings of Allah be upon each
and every one at this auspicious hour of Juma
when we look at the world around us this week
news headlines in Germany yesterday, a man opens fire at a
Muslim restaurant, killing nine people.
Also yesterday, a Mussolini at the London Mosque. stabbed him was the
during the time of prayer
in South Africa, an eight year old tesni from the wake of LTS liver,
murdered allegedly allegedly by a Muslim person who bought her body
was dumped in a dream near Houston.
There seems to be an unending war and ongoing battle between Muslim
people and Muslim nations. And all of us indicates a seeming lack of
human beings valuing other human beings.
And one of the most often repeated traditions of the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa salam that I consistently the iterate in my
talks and even from this member here
the traditions are Muslim woman Salim al Muslim woman I mean, Lisa
and Eva De
Waal minimum Amina, who knows the man in one word him, him, but the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. In a hadith documented the
salary of Imam Al Bukhari is reported to have said, a Muslim is
one from whose words and actions all other Muslims are safe. A
Muslim is one from his words, indeed, other Muslims are safe and
Hadith documented by materiality. The Rasool said, a movement is one
in whom humanity at large find safety and security regarding the
lives the honor, and the belongings.
traditions like these emphasize the significance of acknowledging
what you call Kurama to insaan, the unreliability of human being
and the dignity of every human being, that human being is worthy
of Sheriff
of honor and respect.
And the overall picture that emerges when you study the Sharia,
regarding the valuing of human life, and the valuing of human
being, is perhaps summed up in part of the comedy commentary of
Allama Shahabuddin and Lucy, who wrote in his Romani feet of Cyril
Quran of him, human race, including those who are fires, and
including those who are sinful, all of them are endowed.
With potential dignity.
We know that life is a test,
revenue account you can ask
and each individual, male or female have particular skills and
abilities and each one faces particular challenges and trials
and tribulations, that each one may have different abilities and
talents. And each one may have a different degree of knowledge,
have different positions, different positions have different
degrees of other authority and power. But we know all of these
who under the gyla can color if one of our above the confocal Raja

endowed human beings has made them dividuals of Allah on earth, the
khalifa to life is in *.
edges of the Earth, position them in differing positions,
position them in different positions, so that he may test you
by that which he has entrusted you with.
What this illustrative verse indicates, is that people have
different Daraja different levels, different capacities, different
positions, and thus each one may have a different degree of test in
life.
And these different Daraja
should not be negatively construed, or mis understood that
some are therefore, superior to others. Because each person is
unique, and each person is special.
Each situation may be different, and all circumstances are not the
same. And this appreciation of value applies throughout the
creation of Allah. In fact,
when you look at both the lion and the shark, both are outstanding
hunters at the peak
of the tree of the predators where they are, but a lion cannot hunt
in the ocean, and the shark cannot hunt in the jungle. Just because
the lion cannot hunt in the ocean does not make him a useless
Hunter. And just because a shark cannot hunt in the jungle does not
make him less of a hunter. Both have their value, and both have
their status as hunters, but each in their own territory. Each has
its own value in its own context. And thus, value comes from the
inherent capacity of each one within the context within which
they find themselves. We look at bees,
our lives in the world as a whole would be much different place if
bees did not exist, or if bees cease to exist. Bees are
responsible for pollinating about 1/6 of the flowering plants
throughout the world. And they are the major pollinators for many of
our foods and our crops like almonds and apples and avocados
and blueberries, and cantaloupes and cherries and cranberries and
cucumbers and cauliflower, sunflower, watermelon, all of
these.
These crops rely in particular on the honeybee for the pollination.
Bees are some of the hardest working creatures on the planet.
And because of their laborious work ethic, we owe many things to
this amazing, yet often appreciated insect. In fact,
Albert Einstein said, if bees were to disappear from the surface of
the Earth, human beings would only have four years to survive. That
is how significant the B is to the global environment.
So be cautious just because we don't appreciate something does
not mean it does not have value and ponder over the fact that
Allah subhanaw taala has intact title an entire chapter in the
Quran as the be
our lack of appreciation of something maybe due to our
awareness of the intrinsic value or the to value of something of
someone
we ever know Amma force wars are being fought among Muslim
countries, at the cost of the lives of millions of believers. We
have an increase in the attack of each other on each other by each
other, undermining the dignity of one another. And now with these
tweeting and texting, everyone has access to everything that anyone
says true or false at any time all the time.
There's an unprecedented declaration
of preferred by Muslims by other Muslims people making tech videos
of other people. This despite the clear injunction in the Holy Quran
where Allah admonished us with Alfie Lubin.
And Let not your hearts entertain any ill feeling against any of the
believers. This in spite of the fact and the warning of Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in the Hadith documented in the salary of
Imam Muslim with Rasul said, a uma Imran Khan Kafeel fuck Barbie her
huduma incarna Kumar call what Allah Raja Ali said, If any
Muslim, if any person calls another person a coffee
then one of them becomes a coffee.
Either the person you call the coffee is a coffee and if he's not
the coffee, you have become a coffee.
So in trying to make other people coffee, we may be making 10 feet
of ourselves in the process because of the lack of
appreciation and value of people. The believers are described in the
Quran as Ruhama obeying the home as those who many
has mercy and compassion to one another. But there's a tendency to
be harsh in our judgments, particularly of each other.
How beautiful and thought provoking. The words of imams are
Fiona Foley, one of the tambourine who said, in the mirror Elmo,
rasa, musica, for amateurs, deed for your son who could look, he
said, a true person of knowledge. I judge people he says, I consider
people truly knowledgeable.
Irrespective of titles regarding what names they go out and what we
ascribe to them or what degrees they may have. He says, I judged
true knowledge to be from a trustworthy scholar, understanding
when to be lenient, because it's easy for anyone to be harsh.
I consider a judge to knowledge to be a trustworthy scholar,
understanding when to be lenient, because it's easy for anyone to be
harsh. There's an incident in the life of Imam Shafi, where he
differed with a person called Yunus Abdullah and
they differed.
In fact, he said that once when he gave a lecture us walked out of
the meat of the of the meeting, you lose, if you are Allah is a
very notable scholar. In fact, one of the
stars is named after him.
So he said,
The man walked out and Imam Shafi pursued it, and he went to the
person he went to the person who walked into his class used to
jamaa Anna May Allah Messiah Messiah in but the federal kala
masala we agree upon 100 Things are used, we differ on one thing,
and he went on to say, oh use don't try to be triumphant in our
differences. Sometimes winning hearts is far more important than
winning an argument or Yunus don't demolish bridges between us which
we have built because someday we may have to cross those bridges or
use always hate what is wrong, but do not hate the one who is doing
wrong because he may change and not do the wrong thing anymore. So
hate the error not the person earning Hate the sin with all your
heart but forgiven have mercy on the one who may have some
criticize the speech but be respectful of the speaker. And he
said our job or use is like a doctor. When we see a disease we
don't kill the patient. We treat the illness in them he Medina he
and not the other model. Allah Allah Martha, we kill off the
disease we don't kill the patient. We do the opposite in the name of
Islam.
When we look at the life of the Rasul Allah, who are they here
while he was?
There are numerous example of do they be Ben of Amal? Yes, if not,
ma ma vinyasas Ali Amma vinyasa Sumaiya we look at the life of
Buddha Bemis Road,
companions of Gilgamesh rude was a shepherd. And one day that a sutra
seldom was out in the desert needed some milk or something. And
he saw this poor shepherd boy tending the flock of sheep. And he
went, engaged him and he gave the Rasool some milk to drink, and
there are so admired and appreciated him and his
significant, seemingly insignificant boy, as a shepherd,
they're looking, and he also encouraged him and said, You're
intelligent boy. And you know, so Absalom inspired him.
And then he said, I want to be with your prophet.
And that person blogging the school became Vindel Mustafa, they
call him the shadow of the Prophet.
To the extent some people considered he was almost part of
the family of the prophets. That was the one who read the Quran in
public first time in history. He was the first colony all of their
bosses and all the people who imitate, he was the first colony
of the oil sands Allahu alayhi wa early was in them. How you see,
that little teenage boy was inspired by a prophet in an
insignificant incident. But yet, see how the seemingly
insignificant
has become significant that we take out Quran from Abdullah
Mossad, a shepherd boy.
We are the home of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
who one day a person passed by
the hadith is quite a lengthy Hadith document a Sufi Muslim
Kitab Nica submodule Allah Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam for call Mata Hulan if you had somebody pass by and the
Rasool ask them what do you think about about this person who pass
by that oh, he's a wealthy man well known man respectful man is
high position high status. If he asked any ladies had in marriage,
the parents will not refuse. If he intercede for someone who is in
session will be accepted by the people. And if he speaks you
should listen to him. And then assume for Secretary Rasulullah
sallallahu it has nothing and he kept quiet. And then another man
fire pass by tone close poor man. And he asked what do you think
about this minjiang
This man is nobody really you know, like, what about him? He
said, Well if he must propose to some girl that parents wouldn't
give for him. And if he speaks, no one would bother to listen to him.
And there are so look, this kid has a high roomie mother or the
mill had. He said people like these who ignore
a bit better than the earth be full of people like less than the
other one that you talked about.
We don't even know the person's name. But the point is the
comparison the Rasul Allah was made to bring to the attention,
not the undermining of the other, but to indicate the significance
of each one.
This narrative in Surah, Yaseen puja Raju, Medina, theologically
is
a German accent Medina Raju yes ha ha. omitted we almost need it to
be Roman lies
Amalia Allah, that portion of Surah Yaseen
is a story about a leopard, a person who was outcast by his
people, about 600 years before the term of a silencer.
So he was outcast by his people, because he had leprosy and people
didn't want to mix with him and meet with him. And he was an idol
worship and then some people came to him and made our to him and he
embraced the faith. And these people after teaching him, they
went to the city from which he originally was the town from which
he was ostracized. And he, that when the people when they they
beat the people up, sort of concern for his people's guidance,
that these people are guiding you have concerned for the welfare of
the people who came to guide him. He said to the peepees, people
don't don't beat them up, they came to guide you. Instead of
that, they beat him up, they beat him to death. And even as the
beating him is Allah, He prays for them in the, in the in the in the
in his death.
Now, this is a story of a man who's a leper, even outcast by his
own community. Yet to indicate the significance of this seemingly
insignificant person.
Allah put him you know, Surya scene is called Cobra Quran, the
heart of the Quran. And Allah puts the story of this seemingly
insignificant person, at the heart of the heart of the Quran,
at the heart of the heart of the Quran, but just to indicate to us,
no one is insignificant.
And if
how we have learned to value things,
how we appreciate things,
has become corrupted.
Our focus on educating ourselves and our youth
is for them and for us not to be spoiled, and to be rich, if we
become wealthy according to the law, but rather educate them in
ourselves to be beneficial and to be happy,
to appreciate and to be grateful, to be helpful and to be
significant.
Grow grew up, I believe, shaping the value of things, rather than
only knowing the price of things. Respect the honor of people,
rather than undermining the dignity of others. Because the
spec is essential for human social engagement, because respect begets
respect, and respectable people are respectful.
How often when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam was
asked about the best of people ask about the best of people. He would
refer to excellence in social engagement, and respecting and
valuing other people. Example, somebody said to
me, Well, hey, we'll JIRA and the life journey and a best friend, a
person can be is the one who is best to his friend. And the best
neighbor in his estimation of Allah is the one who's the best
neighbor to the one who's living next to him.
The best of you are those who are best to their family. Then he said
to me, Tom, the best of you are those who feed those who are
hungry. Another hadith is on Sahih Bukhari telling me the most
humble, authentic hadith in Sahih al Bukhari Rasul Allah is reported
to have said,
telethon when Jamal Jamal Eman there are three things if these
three things are combined in you the Imam is complete InSAR from
enough sick, we both know Salah
will in fact when
he says fairness, justice in yourself towards others, offering
peace to the world around you. And spending in charity, even if we
have a little all of these are to do with social engagement.
The primary lesson
that we derive from all of us is the importance of valuing things
and most importantly, valuing each other
respecting each other, the realization that different people
are in different situations, it each one is unique, and no one is
insignificant, valuable
in their own context, and therefore, deserving of respect.
It begins in the house, it begins. Very often people come to school
and they say the children are naughty or whatever happens. And
you wonder, they are at school for six hours or seven hours. They are
not here all the time, what is happening at home?
If you don't have respect for your parents, why do you expect your
children to have respect for you? They should, they should respect
you, but I'm asking if they don't see it in you, if they see you
being abusive towards your spouse, all the amount of memorization of
Hadith will not change that.
memorization of values doesn't translate into transformation of
people. memorization of values, many Hadith, in acid, Casa de la
will be truthful, for truthfulness leads to righteousness, everyone
knows the Hadith, yet there are so many cooks, they know the body,
some of them who teach the Hadith.
So memorization of information does not mean transformation, to
the values that are being promoted. It must be imbibed and
imbibe, you must have it yourself.
And therefore there are all sorts of Allahu alayhi wa sallam
reminded us, no person
leaves a better inheritance for his children than good education,
and good moral values. And I always emphasize the the salted
inheritance, you can't give an inheritance which you don't have
yourself.
No child inherits a better inheritance from his parents than
good training and good behavior.
Inheritance. And if you don't have it, they won't inherit it. So all
of us as educators, all of us as parents, all of us as friends and
neighbors, employers as workers,
respect the dignity of each other.
Because how you act and react is a reflection of yourself. Your
attitude is a reflection of yourself in the mirror of life.
Nothing affirms our humanity, more than our capacity, to empathize
with the feelings of others, and to work with dignity with those
around us. And it is this frame of heart that enables us to feel the
agony of the pain experienced by those who are in pain and to treat
others the way we would like to be treated and to do our best to make
the world a better place. One good deed at a time, one person at a
time, one day at a time. The believer should bring forth that
innate potential for goodness Rasul Allah insha Allah Khattab
Allah, Allah. Allah has prescribed excellence in everything you do,
whether you argue or debate, whether you agree or fried.
Whenever you do, Allah has prescribed excellence in
everything you do.
And therefore,
the believer should bring forth that innate potential for goodness
and bring it to bear on our social existence. Life is a test and each
one of us is tested
and tested according to what we have been granted. Because I've
been given more something does not make me more superior in any way.
It makes me more accountable and more answerable. You see, we pass
the test in faith, if we do the best we can with what we have from
where we are, and inspiring others in ourselves, to look up to Allah
and to elevate ourselves and elevate those around us. By doing
the best that we can. In the situations we find ourselves where
Allah keep us guided, may Allah cleanse our heart, from any form
of havila Koulibaly with the essence of reasoning after seeing
Leila is the essence of reasoning.
After accepting Eman is love for all of the creation of Allah, love
for humanity and to do good to the best of your ability to everyone.
Whether the other people are good people or not good people, you
will be good because it is expected of you in Allah your head
will max in in Allah loves the doers of good Aquila Kohli Harada
