From the manaqib or the virtues of the

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

muhajirun, Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala mentions that from

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

their qualities Number one is that they were

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

people of sincerity.

00:00:10 --> 00:00:12

They lived for the sake of Allah subhanahu

00:00:12 --> 00:00:14

wa'ta'ala They spoke for the sake of

00:00:14 --> 00:00:15

Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala.

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

They did for the sake of Allah subhanahu

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

wa'ta'ala They left for the sake of

00:00:20 --> 00:00:23

Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala Nothing about them was

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

an action or a speech to build public

00:00:26 --> 00:00:30

perception Nothing about them was an action or

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

speech to create goodwill in society If goodwill

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

was created then that was a byproduct of

00:00:36 --> 00:00:38

that which they did for the sake of

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

Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala So they never intended

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

fame.

00:00:42 --> 00:00:45

They never intended name They never intended material

00:00:45 --> 00:00:48

well-being or financial standing from that which

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50

they did rather They did what they did

00:00:50 --> 00:00:53

solely for the sake of Allah subhanahu wa'ta

00:00:53 --> 00:00:55

'ala And yes, they were raised in rank

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

by Allah and yes, a lot of goodwill

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

was showered upon them But this happened as

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

a result of that which they did because

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04

even though the Quraysh They had this vendetta

00:01:04 --> 00:01:07

against the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam And they

00:01:07 --> 00:01:10

abused him and they abused his followers and

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

they insulted him both verbally and physically Despite

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

all this they would still go to him

00:01:15 --> 00:01:19

and hand him their precious belongings For safekeeping

00:01:19 --> 00:01:21

if they were to travel or if they

00:01:21 --> 00:01:23

were to fear for something they would go

00:01:23 --> 00:01:25

and give it to him Sallallahu alayhi wasallam

00:01:25 --> 00:01:27

because they knew that subhanAllah this man is

00:01:27 --> 00:01:47

the most trustworthy person in all of Bismillah

00:01:47 --> 00:01:49

ar-Rahman ar-Raheem Alhamdulillahi rabbil alameen Wa

00:02:22 --> 00:02:25

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala And we seek

00:02:25 --> 00:02:28

his assistance And we seek his guidance And

00:02:28 --> 00:02:31

we seek refuge in Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:02:31 --> 00:02:34

'ala From the evil of ourselves And the

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

adverse consequences of our deeds Whomsoever Allah subhanahu

00:02:38 --> 00:02:41

wa ta'ala guides Then none can misguide

00:02:41 --> 00:02:45

And whomsoever Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala misguides

00:02:45 --> 00:02:49

Then none can guide And peace and salutations

00:02:49 --> 00:02:52

be upon the final messenger Muhammad ibn Abdillah

00:02:52 --> 00:02:55

salallahu alayhi wasalam I bear witness that there

00:02:55 --> 00:02:57

is no one worthy of worship besides one

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

Allah And that Muhammad salallahu alayhi wasalam is

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

his messenger My dear brothers and sisters in

00:03:04 --> 00:03:06

Islam I am about to greet you with

00:03:06 --> 00:03:08

the greetings of Islam Are you ready to

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

receive it?

00:03:09 --> 00:03:10

Are you sure?

00:03:11 --> 00:03:16

Right Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh May

00:03:16 --> 00:03:18

the peace and blessings of Allah subhanahu wa

00:03:18 --> 00:03:21

ta'ala be upon you all Wallahi my

00:03:21 --> 00:03:23

dear brothers and sisters It would be an

00:03:23 --> 00:03:27

understatement To say that I am at a

00:03:27 --> 00:03:31

loss for words To describe what I feel

00:03:31 --> 00:03:34

Or what I'm feeling right now I mean

00:03:34 --> 00:03:37

Ramadan has just begun Alhamdulillah Just a few

00:03:37 --> 00:03:39

minutes ago The guest that we have been

00:03:39 --> 00:03:42

waiting for For a long time For the

00:03:42 --> 00:03:45

past months And the past weeks And the

00:03:45 --> 00:03:48

past few days This guest has arrived And

00:03:48 --> 00:03:53

this guest has come with bountiful presents It

00:03:53 --> 00:03:56

has come with fasting It has come with

00:03:56 --> 00:04:00

Salatul Taraweeh It has come with the month

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

of Al-Quran It has come with the

00:04:03 --> 00:04:06

last ten nights of Ramadan Which hosts the

00:04:06 --> 00:04:09

night of power It has come with Sadaqatul

00:04:09 --> 00:04:11

Fitr And has come with the day of

00:04:11 --> 00:04:15

Eid as well Subhanallah La ilaha illallah I

00:04:15 --> 00:04:18

mean As I said It is an understatement

00:04:18 --> 00:04:21

to say That I am at a loss

00:04:21 --> 00:04:23

of words On top of that my dear

00:04:23 --> 00:04:27

brothers and sisters What exacerbates the emotions that

00:04:27 --> 00:04:31

I feel Is the fact And the knowledge

00:04:31 --> 00:04:33

That Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Has answered

00:04:33 --> 00:04:38

our dua Because one year ago I sat

00:04:38 --> 00:04:41

on this chair As we learned together The

00:04:41 --> 00:04:44

seerah of the Prophet ﷺ During last Ramadan

00:04:44 --> 00:04:48

And on the 27th night When the series

00:04:48 --> 00:04:51

came to a close We made dua And

00:04:51 --> 00:04:53

we asked Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala To

00:04:53 --> 00:04:57

reunite us in this life Before the hereafter

00:04:57 --> 00:05:01

And I know And you know That we

00:05:01 --> 00:05:03

had no plans Of being together this Ramadan

00:05:03 --> 00:05:07

We had no plans Of being together this

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

Ramadan But ultimately Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:05:10 --> 00:05:13

Planned and He decreed And He decided And

00:05:13 --> 00:05:15

thus I am sat here And wallahi it

00:05:15 --> 00:05:18

brings great happiness To see faces that I

00:05:18 --> 00:05:20

love For the sake of Allah subhanahu wa

00:05:20 --> 00:05:22

ta'ala And to see the Ummah of

00:05:22 --> 00:05:26

Rasulullah ﷺ May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:05:26 --> 00:05:30

Bless us all Wallahi Wabillahi Watallahi My dear

00:05:30 --> 00:05:34

brothers and sisters I plan And you plan

00:05:34 --> 00:05:37

But ultimately It is Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:05:37 --> 00:05:39

'ala Who plans And Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:05:39 --> 00:05:42

'ala Does what He wants When He wants

00:05:42 --> 00:05:45

How He wants Subhanahu wa ta'ala La

00:05:45 --> 00:05:49

yus'al Amma yaf'al Wahum yus'alun

00:05:49 --> 00:05:52

No one will Or no one can Question

00:05:52 --> 00:05:54

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala About what He

00:05:54 --> 00:05:57

does Subhanahu wa ta'ala But each and

00:05:57 --> 00:05:59

every one of us Will be questioned May

00:05:59 --> 00:06:02

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Make this month

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

of Ramadan Our best Ramadan yet Ameen And

00:06:05 --> 00:06:07

we ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala To

00:06:07 --> 00:06:10

bless our health And to bless our time

00:06:10 --> 00:06:13

And to bless our deeds And from this

00:06:13 --> 00:06:16

moment We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:06:16 --> 00:06:19

To bless us with many many more Ramadans

00:06:19 --> 00:06:21

Whilst we are in good health Insha'Allah

00:06:21 --> 00:06:24

Ameen Ya rabbal alameen Also from the outset

00:06:24 --> 00:06:27

At the beginning of Ramadan I ask Allah

00:06:27 --> 00:06:29

subhanahu wa ta'ala To free us from

00:06:29 --> 00:06:32

the hellfire And I ask Allah subhanahu wa

00:06:32 --> 00:06:34

ta'ala To make us from the family

00:06:34 --> 00:06:37

of taqwa For indeed Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:06:37 --> 00:06:40

'ala He prescribed fasting So that we may

00:06:40 --> 00:06:44

achieve taqwa Perhaps we may achieve taqwa I

00:06:44 --> 00:06:46

ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala To make

00:06:46 --> 00:06:48

us from the family of taqwa And I

00:06:48 --> 00:06:50

ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala To grant

00:06:50 --> 00:06:53

us Jannah With the man we will spend

00:06:53 --> 00:06:58

Our evenings studying Muhammad ibn Abdullah Sallallahu alayhi

00:06:58 --> 00:07:02

wasallam Ameen Ya rabbal alameen So my dear

00:07:02 --> 00:07:04

brothers and sisters Blast from the past Returns

00:07:04 --> 00:07:08

to Malaysia And in particular part three And

00:07:08 --> 00:07:10

for those who are unaware Of this particular

00:07:10 --> 00:07:12

series It is a series that Allah subhanahu

00:07:12 --> 00:07:15

wa ta'ala Inspired me to put together

00:07:15 --> 00:07:18

In four parts Which I call four seasons

00:07:18 --> 00:07:22

And this Ramadan We will witness season three

00:07:22 --> 00:07:28

And this particular series Began two Ramadans ago

00:07:28 --> 00:07:32

In Melbourne, Australia Whereby I sat with the

00:07:33 --> 00:07:37

Muslims of Melbourne And we learnt Throughout every

00:07:37 --> 00:07:41

night of Ramadan The first Half of the

00:07:41 --> 00:07:44

Meccan period From the seerah of Rasulullah Sallallahu

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

alayhi wasallam And last Ramadan we sat together

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

Here in this masjid In Kuala Lumpur And

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

we studied together the second half Of the

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

Meccan period From the seerah of Rasulullah Sallallahu

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

alayhi wasallam What's left?

00:08:01 --> 00:08:04

Well, what's left is the Medina period And

00:08:04 --> 00:08:08

inshallah this Ramadan I hope if Allah subhanahu

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

wa ta'ala Permits and blesses To discuss

00:08:11 --> 00:08:13

with you all The first half of the

00:08:13 --> 00:08:17

Medina period Or part of the Medina period

00:08:17 --> 00:08:20

From the seerah of Rasulullah Sallallahu alayhi wasallam

00:08:20 --> 00:08:23

And inshallah the plan is If Allah subhanahu

00:08:23 --> 00:08:25

wa ta'ala gives me life To complete

00:08:25 --> 00:08:29

The second half of the Medina period In

00:08:29 --> 00:08:31

what will be season four Bi-idhnillahi ta

00:08:31 --> 00:08:34

'ala So this Ramadan we will complete Inshallah

00:08:34 --> 00:08:38

season three Blast from the past Is a

00:08:38 --> 00:08:41

fiqh of seerah series It is not a

00:08:41 --> 00:08:45

systematic Story type run through The seerah of

00:08:45 --> 00:08:48

the Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wasallam Rather it's a

00:08:48 --> 00:08:51

series in which We take snippets from the

00:08:51 --> 00:08:54

life Of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam And we

00:08:54 --> 00:08:58

extract and deduce Lessons that matter to us

00:08:58 --> 00:09:02

now In the 21st century So it's as

00:09:02 --> 00:09:04

if the Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wasallam Is living

00:09:04 --> 00:09:06

with us now And that is how blessed

00:09:06 --> 00:09:09

his seerah is And thus the name blast

00:09:09 --> 00:09:11

from the past It's a blast from the

00:09:11 --> 00:09:13

past That we experience now It's a guiding

00:09:13 --> 00:09:16

blast None of the illegal blasts My dear

00:09:16 --> 00:09:18

brothers and sisters Let me just clarify In

00:09:18 --> 00:09:20

case somebody decides To take the wrong understanding

00:09:20 --> 00:09:22

May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Protect us

00:09:22 --> 00:09:25

all from that So this is the reality

00:09:25 --> 00:09:28

of the series And since this is a

00:09:28 --> 00:09:31

series And since this is the second time

00:09:31 --> 00:09:33

The series is happening in Malaysia I will

00:09:33 --> 00:09:37

avoid and skip The introductory discussion That we

00:09:37 --> 00:09:42

had during episode 1 Last Ramadan And inshallah

00:09:42 --> 00:09:45

what we will do Is try and continue

00:09:45 --> 00:09:46

From where we left off And for those

00:09:46 --> 00:09:49

who are unfamiliar With the series then I

00:09:49 --> 00:09:52

advise you to search for Season 1 or

00:09:52 --> 00:09:55

episode 1 of season 1 And episode 2

00:09:55 --> 00:09:58

of season Sorry episode 1 of season 2

00:09:58 --> 00:10:01

Which inshallah will be available In the near

00:10:01 --> 00:10:03

future As our brothers who are handling The

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

recording and the streaming Have promised And inshallah

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

I urge you to access these episodes Because

00:10:10 --> 00:10:12

in these episodes We discuss the importance of

00:10:12 --> 00:10:14

the seerah The reality of the seerah And

00:10:14 --> 00:10:17

why we need to study the seerah And

00:10:17 --> 00:10:19

this is always an important discussion Because it

00:10:19 --> 00:10:24

helps recalibrate Our thoughts It recalibrates our paradigms

00:10:24 --> 00:10:27

And it exacerbates Our need to be here

00:10:27 --> 00:10:30

Throughout Ramadan I pray inshallah That the faces

00:10:30 --> 00:10:32

I see here Will be faces that I

00:10:32 --> 00:10:35

will see inshallah Throughout the month, right?

00:10:35 --> 00:10:37

So also from the outset We must make

00:10:37 --> 00:10:39

a strong resolve That we don't start this

00:10:39 --> 00:10:42

Ramadan Like we started other Ramadans Whereby we

00:10:42 --> 00:10:48

started with a bang And with Excuse me

00:10:48 --> 00:10:51

We started with this iman rush And alhamdulillah

00:10:51 --> 00:10:53

we were You know we were there And

00:10:53 --> 00:10:56

we applied ourselves But as the month wore

00:10:56 --> 00:10:59

away We started to wear away as well

00:10:59 --> 00:11:00

May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala protect us

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

Let's have a strong resolve To finish the

00:11:03 --> 00:11:06

month stronger Than we've actually begun the month

00:11:06 --> 00:11:08

And indeed Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Is

00:11:08 --> 00:11:10

upon all able And we leave this dua

00:11:10 --> 00:11:13

And request with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:11:14 --> 00:11:19

In our last episode Last season We completed

00:11:19 --> 00:11:21

the hijrah Of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

00:11:21 --> 00:11:24

To Medina We discussed the time he spent

00:11:24 --> 00:11:26

in Quba And what he did there And

00:11:26 --> 00:11:32

then we discussed his journey Towards Medina And

00:11:32 --> 00:11:34

he passed through the many tribes of the

00:11:34 --> 00:11:37

Ansar And we stopped at the point of

00:11:37 --> 00:11:40

Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Entering Medina And

00:11:40 --> 00:11:44

experiencing this great welcome From the inhabitants of

00:11:44 --> 00:11:47

Medina From the Ansar And those from the

00:11:47 --> 00:11:51

Muhajirun Who had reached Mecca Before the Prophet

00:11:51 --> 00:11:53

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam And we discussed why

00:11:53 --> 00:11:56

Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Left a little

00:11:56 --> 00:11:58

bit later And we discussed how he left

00:11:58 --> 00:12:02

Ali ibn Abi Talib Behind in Mecca To

00:12:02 --> 00:12:06

give away Or to give back some of

00:12:06 --> 00:12:08

the Of the aman Of the trust That

00:12:08 --> 00:12:10

was given to Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

00:12:10 --> 00:12:12

For safe keeping And we discussed the lessons

00:12:12 --> 00:12:13

from this Right?

00:12:14 --> 00:12:15

And that is why My dear brothers and

00:12:15 --> 00:12:18

sisters Even though the Quraish They had this

00:12:18 --> 00:12:20

vendetta Against the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

00:12:20 --> 00:12:23

And they abused him And they abused his

00:12:23 --> 00:12:25

followers And they insulted him Both verbally and

00:12:25 --> 00:12:29

physically Despite all this They would still go

00:12:29 --> 00:12:32

to him And hand him Their precious belongings

00:12:32 --> 00:12:34

For safe keeping If they were to travel

00:12:34 --> 00:12:36

Or if they were to fear of something

00:12:36 --> 00:12:37

They would go and give it to him

00:12:37 --> 00:12:40

Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Because they knew That

00:12:40 --> 00:12:44

subhanallah This man is the most Trustworthy person

00:12:44 --> 00:12:46

In all of Mecca In any case We

00:12:46 --> 00:12:49

discussed all this Now, before we dive into

00:12:49 --> 00:12:52

The first stages of Medina I want to

00:12:52 --> 00:12:55

use this episode And use the time that

00:12:55 --> 00:12:57

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala blesses us with

00:12:57 --> 00:13:00

To discuss some lingering lessons That are attached

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

to the Hijrah To the Hijrah And this

00:13:03 --> 00:13:07

period between Mecca and Medina Lessons pertaining to

00:13:07 --> 00:13:09

the Hijrah Or lessons that came about Because

00:13:09 --> 00:13:12

of the Hijrah Because it's no secret My

00:13:12 --> 00:13:14

dear brothers and sisters That one of the

00:13:14 --> 00:13:20

most The most Manifest incidents Of Islam And

00:13:20 --> 00:13:22

from the life of the prophet Sallallahu alayhi

00:13:22 --> 00:13:26

wa sallam Is the Hijrah And that is

00:13:26 --> 00:13:30

why this Hijrah Was a basis and foundation

00:13:30 --> 00:13:33

For what we know today As the Muhajirun

00:13:33 --> 00:13:36

So this is number one This is an

00:13:36 --> 00:13:40

important point Or an important lesson That relates

00:13:40 --> 00:13:42

to the Hijrah That comes about because of

00:13:42 --> 00:13:45

the Hijrah Number two, we have What we

00:13:45 --> 00:13:48

call the Hijrah calendar Which is the Islamic

00:13:48 --> 00:13:52

calendar Which is based upon This Hijrah, this

00:13:52 --> 00:13:55

migration of the Muslims And Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi

00:13:55 --> 00:13:58

wa sallam From Mecca to Medina This is

00:13:58 --> 00:14:01

number two The third lesson That has an

00:14:01 --> 00:14:04

attachment to the Hijrah Is what you and

00:14:04 --> 00:14:06

I know as Makki and Madani surahs in

00:14:06 --> 00:14:09

the Quran Makki and Madani surahs in the

00:14:09 --> 00:14:12

Quran Because according to the correct Opinion of

00:14:12 --> 00:14:15

the scholars What differentiates between Makki and Madani

00:14:15 --> 00:14:18

Is the Hijrah of the prophet Sallallahu alayhi

00:14:18 --> 00:14:22

wa sallam, whereby All ayat and surahs Revealed

00:14:22 --> 00:14:25

before Hijrah Are known as Makki and all

00:14:25 --> 00:14:28

Ayat and surahs revealed after Hijrah, they are

00:14:28 --> 00:14:31

known as Madani So inshallah we will traverse

00:14:31 --> 00:14:32

through this By the will of Allah in

00:14:32 --> 00:14:36

what remains Of today's program And inshallah tomorrow

00:14:36 --> 00:14:39

As well May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:14:39 --> 00:14:42

bless our time So firstly my dear brothers

00:14:42 --> 00:14:44

and sisters When we talk about what we

00:14:44 --> 00:14:47

Call the Muhajirun, and they were the Muhajirun

00:14:47 --> 00:14:50

because they migrated From Mecca to Medina because

00:14:50 --> 00:14:52

of this Hijrah, then we need to Discuss

00:14:52 --> 00:14:55

number one, the virtues of the Muhajirun, and

00:14:55 --> 00:14:59

number two The rewards of the Muhajirun And

00:14:59 --> 00:15:00

the reason why I want to discuss this

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

First, on this first night of Ramadan Is

00:15:03 --> 00:15:06

because Hijrah Is for the one who cannot

00:15:07 --> 00:15:10

Worship Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala As Allah

00:15:10 --> 00:15:13

subhanahu wa ta'ala Wants him Or her

00:15:13 --> 00:15:16

to worship him on earth Alhamdulillah in this

00:15:16 --> 00:15:18

land We worship Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:15:18 --> 00:15:21

As Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Wants us

00:15:21 --> 00:15:24

to worship him, nobody restricts Our worship of

00:15:24 --> 00:15:28

Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala However, since this

00:15:28 --> 00:15:30

is the First night of Ramadan, and since

00:15:30 --> 00:15:32

There is no need for any Hijrah At

00:15:32 --> 00:15:35

least let's discuss the virtues Of the Muhajirun,

00:15:35 --> 00:15:38

so that perhaps We may spend Ramadan We

00:15:38 --> 00:15:41

may spend Ramadan making dua Asking Allah subhanahu

00:15:41 --> 00:15:43

wa ta'ala To bless us with the

00:15:43 --> 00:15:46

qualities That he cited as qualities Of the

00:15:46 --> 00:15:50

Muhajirun, for those who Read the Quran And

00:15:50 --> 00:15:52

ponder over the ayat that they Read, they

00:15:52 --> 00:15:55

will see that subhanallah In many an ayah,

00:15:55 --> 00:15:58

Allah subhanahu Wa ta'ala, he discusses the

00:15:58 --> 00:16:02

Muhajirun and He discusses a quality A praiseworthy

00:16:02 --> 00:16:05

quality that they have A praiseworthy quality that

00:16:05 --> 00:16:08

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala loves A praiseworthy

00:16:08 --> 00:16:11

quality that Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala loves

00:16:11 --> 00:16:13

So let's go through these qualities Or these

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

virtues that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Has

00:16:16 --> 00:16:18

taught us about the Muhajirun Perhaps we can

00:16:18 --> 00:16:20

make dua to Allah To grant us those

00:16:20 --> 00:16:24

qualities And we can chase the Acquisition of

00:16:24 --> 00:16:27

these qualities For what remains in Ramadan Indeed

00:16:27 --> 00:16:31

Ramadan is a platform Ramadan is a podium

00:16:31 --> 00:16:35

For us to launch ourselves From, right, upon

00:16:35 --> 00:16:38

Or onto the podium of excellence That podium

00:16:38 --> 00:16:41

that Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala gives every

00:16:41 --> 00:16:44

person Who has declared Allah as one And

00:16:44 --> 00:16:46

every person who has Accepted the prophecy of

00:16:46 --> 00:16:49

Rasulullah Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, everyone Who says

00:16:49 --> 00:16:53

la ilaha illallah, Muhammadur Rasulullah, this person is

00:16:53 --> 00:16:55

given A podium of excellence, but it's your

00:16:55 --> 00:16:57

Job and my job, oh servant of Allah

00:16:57 --> 00:17:00

And oh child of Adam, to do The

00:17:00 --> 00:17:03

needful to get onto this Podium, Allah has

00:17:03 --> 00:17:05

given us Nothing but the best, and last

00:17:05 --> 00:17:07

Ramadan We spoke about this when we said

00:17:07 --> 00:17:10

That Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala He gave

00:17:10 --> 00:17:12

us the best prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa

00:17:12 --> 00:17:15

sallam Or Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gave

00:17:15 --> 00:17:18

us The best revelation, the Quran Via the

00:17:18 --> 00:17:21

best angel Jibreel alayhi salam, to the best

00:17:21 --> 00:17:24

Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam In the

00:17:24 --> 00:17:28

best language The Arabic language, during the best

00:17:28 --> 00:17:31

Night, the night of power During the best

00:17:31 --> 00:17:33

month, the month of Ramadan, and in the

00:17:33 --> 00:17:36

best of all places Makkah al-mukarramah And

00:17:36 --> 00:17:38

in this best revelation that came To us

00:17:38 --> 00:17:40

in the best way, Allah subhanahu Wa ta

00:17:40 --> 00:17:45

'ala said That you are the best of

00:17:45 --> 00:17:47

all people So my dear brothers and sisters,

00:17:47 --> 00:17:50

we have A God given podium of excellence

00:17:50 --> 00:17:52

But we need to do the needful So

00:17:52 --> 00:17:55

let's take inspiration inshallah From the virtues that

00:17:55 --> 00:17:57

I will share with you Regarding the muhajirun

00:17:57 --> 00:18:00

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in his book

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

In the noble Quran He praises the muhajirun

00:18:03 --> 00:18:05

And he cites for us as I said

00:18:05 --> 00:18:08

Many virtuous qualities, qualities that Allah subhanahu wa

00:18:08 --> 00:18:11

ta'ala loves And I believe brother Raja

00:18:11 --> 00:18:15

Alhamdulillah announced that There will be questions that

00:18:15 --> 00:18:17

will be Coming to you all every night

00:18:17 --> 00:18:21

And prizes that are on offer Alhamdulillah From

00:18:21 --> 00:18:24

the prizes is what they call a segway

00:18:24 --> 00:18:26

Or what they call a hoverboard If anyone

00:18:26 --> 00:18:28

wins that prize And you don't need it,

00:18:28 --> 00:18:30

I'll be happy to take it off you

00:18:30 --> 00:18:34

Inshallah So the reason why I'm highlighting this

00:18:34 --> 00:18:36

is because Tonight's question is from what I'm

00:18:36 --> 00:18:38

going to teach you right now The virtues

00:18:38 --> 00:18:41

of the muhajirun Brother Raja is looking at

00:18:41 --> 00:18:44

me with Wide eyes like What are you

00:18:44 --> 00:18:44

doing?

00:18:44 --> 00:18:46

Why are you giving them A hint to

00:18:46 --> 00:18:46

the question?

00:18:47 --> 00:18:48

Well it's no problem We want to benefit

00:18:48 --> 00:18:50

Alhamdulillah And the questions are not there for

00:18:50 --> 00:18:52

anyone to fail The questions are there for

00:18:52 --> 00:18:55

you to win a prize Alhamdulillah and before

00:18:55 --> 00:18:58

that To benefit, so inshallah today's question Is

00:18:58 --> 00:19:01

from the manakib Or the virtues of the

00:19:01 --> 00:19:04

muhajirun Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Mentions that

00:19:04 --> 00:19:06

from their qualities Number one is that they

00:19:06 --> 00:19:09

were people of Sincerity, they lived for the

00:19:09 --> 00:19:11

sake Of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala They

00:19:11 --> 00:19:13

spoke for the sake of Allah subhanahu wa

00:19:13 --> 00:19:15

ta'ala They did for the sake of

00:19:15 --> 00:19:18

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala They left for

00:19:18 --> 00:19:20

the sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:19:20 --> 00:19:23

Nothing about them Was an action or a

00:19:23 --> 00:19:27

speech To build public perception Nothing about them

00:19:27 --> 00:19:30

Was an action or speech to create Goodwill

00:19:30 --> 00:19:33

in society If goodwill was created then that

00:19:33 --> 00:19:35

was a By product of that which They

00:19:35 --> 00:19:37

did for the sake of Allah subhanahu wa

00:19:37 --> 00:19:40

ta'ala So they never intended Fame, they

00:19:40 --> 00:19:44

never intended Name, they never intended Material well

00:19:44 --> 00:19:47

being or financial Standing from that which they

00:19:47 --> 00:19:49

did Rather they did what they did solely

00:19:49 --> 00:19:51

For the sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:19:51 --> 00:19:53

'ala And yes they were raised in rank

00:19:53 --> 00:19:56

By Allah and yes a lot of Goodwill

00:19:56 --> 00:19:59

was showered upon them But this happened as

00:19:59 --> 00:20:01

a result Of that which they did and

00:20:01 --> 00:20:03

that was Living for the sake of Allah

00:20:03 --> 00:20:05

And speaking for the sake of Allah Allah

00:20:05 --> 00:20:07

subhanahu wa ta'ala tells us in his

00:20:07 --> 00:20:13

book للفقراء المهاجرين الذين أخرجوا من ديارهم وأموالهم

00:20:13 --> 00:20:17

يبتغون فضلا من الله ورضوانا وينصرون الله ورسوله

00:20:18 --> 00:20:22

أولئك هم الصادقون In this ayah For those

00:20:22 --> 00:20:24

who are taking notes Mashallah and I see

00:20:24 --> 00:20:27

many are This ayah is in chapter 59

00:20:27 --> 00:20:30

Ayah number 8 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:20:30 --> 00:20:35

says That also For the poor emigrants For

00:20:35 --> 00:20:38

the poor from the muhajirun Also for them

00:20:38 --> 00:20:42

from the spoils Of war Or is a

00:20:42 --> 00:20:44

share from the spoils Of war, for them

00:20:44 --> 00:20:47

is a share From the spoils of war

00:20:47 --> 00:20:49

And they are those who were Expelled from

00:20:49 --> 00:20:54

their homes And their property And they did

00:20:54 --> 00:20:56

what they did seeking Bounties from Allah and

00:20:56 --> 00:20:59

to please him And this is the point

00:20:59 --> 00:21:02

Of concentration in the ayah That Allah subhanahu

00:21:02 --> 00:21:04

wa ta'ala says That they did what

00:21:04 --> 00:21:07

they did Seeking bounties only from Allah Subhanahu

00:21:07 --> 00:21:10

wa ta'ala And seeking the pleasure of

00:21:10 --> 00:21:12

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala And this is

00:21:12 --> 00:21:14

what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Cites for

00:21:14 --> 00:21:16

us in this ayah As a quality from

00:21:16 --> 00:21:18

the qualities of the muhajirun That they were

00:21:18 --> 00:21:21

sincere people Everything was Allah subhanahu wa ta

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

'ala Their purpose behind everything Was Allah subhanahu

00:21:25 --> 00:21:28

wa ta'ala Even in their work Even

00:21:28 --> 00:21:31

in their play Even in their interactions Or

00:21:31 --> 00:21:34

social dealings They intended Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:21:34 --> 00:21:36

'ala If Allah blessed them with a prophet

00:21:36 --> 00:21:40

From their trade Then that prophet was a

00:21:40 --> 00:21:42

net result Was a by-product of the

00:21:42 --> 00:21:44

trade That they did for the sake of

00:21:44 --> 00:21:46

Allah Does that make sense?

00:21:46 --> 00:21:49

It's different to what many of us Apply

00:21:49 --> 00:21:51

in terms of our intentions today Where we

00:21:51 --> 00:21:53

say we work to make a prophet No,

00:21:53 --> 00:21:55

the muhajirun They worked for the sake of

00:21:55 --> 00:21:58

Allah And a prophet was a result of

00:21:58 --> 00:21:59

that which they did For the sake of

00:21:59 --> 00:22:02

Allah It's a by-product of the action

00:22:02 --> 00:22:04

But the actual action Was for the sake

00:22:04 --> 00:22:07

of Allah And thus it was ibadah And

00:22:07 --> 00:22:09

we need to take this lesson down to

00:22:09 --> 00:22:11

the level of our education As well today

00:22:11 --> 00:22:15

That even in our schools In our universities

00:22:16 --> 00:22:18

We should study for the sake of Allah

00:22:18 --> 00:22:20

Not for the sake of the degree Not

00:22:20 --> 00:22:22

for the sake of getting a job The

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

degree and the job Is a by-product

00:22:25 --> 00:22:27

of that action Which you do Which should

00:22:27 --> 00:22:29

be for the sake of Allah And the

00:22:29 --> 00:22:33

power of making Your mundane activities Of your

00:22:33 --> 00:22:36

life for the sake of Allah Subhanahu wa

00:22:36 --> 00:22:38

ta'ala Is only given to the family

00:22:38 --> 00:22:41

of La ilaha illallah muhammadur rasulullah It's only

00:22:41 --> 00:22:44

given to those Who have declared Allah as

00:22:44 --> 00:22:46

one To those who have accepted the prophecy

00:22:46 --> 00:22:49

Of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam Understand this O

00:22:49 --> 00:22:52

servant of Allah The sad thing today is

00:22:52 --> 00:22:55

We have been given the switch To build

00:22:55 --> 00:22:57

our jannah with every breath That we breathe

00:22:57 --> 00:23:00

But we don't activate the switch We work

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

for 20 years, 30 years, 40 years For

00:23:03 --> 00:23:05

a profit Just like the non-muslims do

00:23:05 --> 00:23:08

We go to university, to school For 10

00:23:08 --> 00:23:10

years or 20 years Just like the non

00:23:10 --> 00:23:12

-muslims do To get the certificate or to

00:23:12 --> 00:23:15

get a job And our jannah does not

00:23:15 --> 00:23:18

feel us Our jannah does not feel the

00:23:18 --> 00:23:21

moments We are awake on earth Our jannah

00:23:21 --> 00:23:23

does not feel the moments We are asleep

00:23:23 --> 00:23:29

on earth Excuse me brothers and sisters I

00:23:29 --> 00:23:30

actually lost my voice a few days ago

00:23:30 --> 00:23:33

And it's coming back It's a bit patchy

00:23:33 --> 00:23:35

but we'll get there inshallah Make dua for

00:23:35 --> 00:23:39

me that Allah gives me cure So the

00:23:39 --> 00:23:40

point is My dear brothers and sisters This

00:23:40 --> 00:23:45

is a tragedy That a muslim Has the

00:23:45 --> 00:23:48

ability to build their jannah Not only when

00:23:48 --> 00:23:50

they're in salah Not only when they're fasting

00:23:50 --> 00:23:52

We can build our jannah when we're stuck

00:23:52 --> 00:23:57

in traffic In Kuala Lumpur If the reason

00:23:57 --> 00:23:59

Behind why we're going to work is Allah

00:23:59 --> 00:24:02

subhanahu wa ta'ala That means every second

00:24:02 --> 00:24:04

is counted as ibadah Right?

00:24:04 --> 00:24:06

If you're baking a cake even in the

00:24:06 --> 00:24:08

kitchen If it's for the sake of Allah

00:24:08 --> 00:24:12

Every second it takes to become Baked is

00:24:12 --> 00:24:14

ibadah There are trees being planted for you

00:24:14 --> 00:24:17

in jannah inshallah There are palaces being built

00:24:17 --> 00:24:19

For you in jannah inshallah There are streams

00:24:19 --> 00:24:22

being dug for you in jannah inshallah This

00:24:22 --> 00:24:26

is the reality If you engage Allah Being

00:24:26 --> 00:24:29

sincere And making your life And everything about

00:24:29 --> 00:24:32

you For his sake subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:24:32 --> 00:24:34

The result of it will be a baked

00:24:34 --> 00:24:36

cake The result of it will be your

00:24:36 --> 00:24:38

paycheck At the end of the month The

00:24:38 --> 00:24:39

result of it will be your degree At

00:24:39 --> 00:24:42

the end of your studying career And the

00:24:42 --> 00:24:45

job that you endeavor to achieve These are

00:24:45 --> 00:24:48

results For a muslim, because of la ilaha

00:24:48 --> 00:24:50

illallah We have the ability to achieve A

00:24:50 --> 00:24:54

higher purpose A higher station, a lofty station

00:24:54 --> 00:24:56

We have the ability to make our jannah

00:24:56 --> 00:24:59

Feel us with the waking of every day

00:24:59 --> 00:25:02

And the sleeping of every night Even going

00:25:02 --> 00:25:04

to the gym Sometimes people ask me about

00:25:04 --> 00:25:07

the gym Even going to the gym Every

00:25:07 --> 00:25:10

time you spend on the treadmill People need

00:25:10 --> 00:25:11

motivation to be on the treadmill Right?

00:25:11 --> 00:25:14

This is great motivation Imagine if you, and

00:25:14 --> 00:25:16

I think we spoke about this last series

00:25:16 --> 00:25:20

Imagine if you Imagine if you thought of

00:25:20 --> 00:25:22

every calorie As one tree for you in

00:25:22 --> 00:25:23

jannah How many calories will you burn on

00:25:23 --> 00:25:24

the treadmill now?

00:25:24 --> 00:25:26

Nobody will want to get off Right?

00:25:26 --> 00:25:29

Because 120 trees is not enough I want

00:25:29 --> 00:25:32

250 When you get to 250 You feel

00:25:32 --> 00:25:34

you have more energy Why?

00:25:34 --> 00:25:37

Because building jannah is fun It's not stressful

00:25:37 --> 00:25:39

And this is the power my dear brothers

00:25:39 --> 00:25:42

and sisters Of la ilaha illallah muhammadur rasulullah

00:25:42 --> 00:25:45

And that is why these muhajirun They could

00:25:45 --> 00:25:47

go through the difficulties That they faced my

00:25:47 --> 00:25:49

dear brothers and sisters It's not as if

00:25:49 --> 00:25:51

the hijrah was not hard And don't forget

00:25:51 --> 00:25:54

how hard it was Before the hijrah The

00:25:54 --> 00:25:56

hijrah was hard They had to leave their

00:25:56 --> 00:25:58

homes They had to leave their belongings They

00:25:58 --> 00:26:00

had to leave their real estate, their properties

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

They had to leave their wealth They had

00:26:02 --> 00:26:04

to leave their families They had to leave

00:26:04 --> 00:26:08

Mecca Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam We discussed this

00:26:08 --> 00:26:10

last season When he left Mecca how he

00:26:10 --> 00:26:12

felt The hurt that he felt And he

00:26:12 --> 00:26:14

said that he never wanted to leave But

00:26:14 --> 00:26:16

it was the people that never wanted him

00:26:16 --> 00:26:17

to be there Right?

00:26:17 --> 00:26:20

So it was difficult for them The hijrah

00:26:20 --> 00:26:22

was difficult for them They were going to

00:26:22 --> 00:26:25

a foreign land To people they didn't know

00:26:25 --> 00:26:27

To people they didn't know You know it's

00:26:27 --> 00:26:30

like when you travel to a country And

00:26:30 --> 00:26:31

the people who are meeting you at the

00:26:31 --> 00:26:33

airport You don't know them You just know

00:26:33 --> 00:26:35

that they are friends of someone you know

00:26:35 --> 00:26:38

You feel nervous, you feel strange Now imagine

00:26:38 --> 00:26:40

if you have to go live with them

00:26:40 --> 00:26:43

And stay with them forever And you have

00:26:43 --> 00:26:45

to be at their mercy And you have

00:26:45 --> 00:26:47

to be You know a product of their

00:26:47 --> 00:26:50

hospitality Imagine what that does to you There's

00:26:50 --> 00:26:52

a lot of things You know we have

00:26:52 --> 00:26:55

our own personal values We have our egos

00:26:55 --> 00:26:57

and so on and so forth The Muhajirun

00:26:57 --> 00:26:59

left all this Behind in a heartbeat Why?

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

Because it was for the sake of Allah

00:27:01 --> 00:27:03

subhanahu wa ta'ala It was worth it

00:27:03 --> 00:27:07

Nothing wrong can come From doing something for

00:27:07 --> 00:27:09

the sake of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:27:09 --> 00:27:11

So this is the first quality My dear

00:27:11 --> 00:27:14

brothers and sisters That Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:27:14 --> 00:27:16

'ala teaches us about the Muhajirun That they

00:27:16 --> 00:27:19

were people of sincerity The next quality That

00:27:19 --> 00:27:21

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala teaches us about

00:27:21 --> 00:27:25

The Muhajirun Is that they were patient people

00:27:25 --> 00:27:27

They were patient I hope you're jotting down

00:27:27 --> 00:27:30

these values Because we need these values in

00:27:30 --> 00:27:32

our life We need sincerity and we need

00:27:32 --> 00:27:35

to be patient people The Muhajirun were patient

00:27:35 --> 00:27:38

people Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says In

00:27:38 --> 00:27:42

chapter 16 Ayah 41 to 42 Or surah

00:27:42 --> 00:27:58

16 Ayah 41 to 42 Allah

00:27:58 --> 00:28:00

subhanahu wa ta'ala says And as for

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

those who migrated For the sake of Allah

00:28:03 --> 00:28:06

After they were wronged After they were oppressed

00:28:06 --> 00:28:09

We will certainly give them a goodly residence

00:28:09 --> 00:28:12

In this world But indeed the reward of

00:28:12 --> 00:28:15

the hereafter will be greater If they only

00:28:15 --> 00:28:17

knew Who are these people?

00:28:17 --> 00:28:20

They are those who remained patient Who are

00:28:20 --> 00:28:21

these Muhajirun?

00:28:22 --> 00:28:24

They are those who remained patient In this

00:28:24 --> 00:28:26

world for the sake of Allah And they

00:28:26 --> 00:28:29

put their trust In Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:28:29 --> 00:28:33

'ala alone In ayah 110 of the same

00:28:33 --> 00:28:46

surah Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says Allah

00:28:46 --> 00:28:49

subhanahu wa ta'ala says Then verily your

00:28:49 --> 00:28:52

lord For those who migrated After they had

00:28:52 --> 00:28:55

been put to trials And thereafter strove hard

00:28:55 --> 00:28:57

And fought for the sake of Allah And

00:28:57 --> 00:29:01

were patient Allah says verily your lord Afterwards

00:29:01 --> 00:29:04

is the most forgiving The most merciful So

00:29:04 --> 00:29:07

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala describes the Muhajirun

00:29:07 --> 00:29:10

As patient people And this is the second

00:29:10 --> 00:29:12

virtue of the Muhajirun From the virtues of

00:29:12 --> 00:29:14

the Muhajirun My dear brothers and sisters Is

00:29:14 --> 00:29:18

that they were truthful people And by the

00:29:18 --> 00:29:20

way Every virtue that I am mentioning Is

00:29:20 --> 00:29:22

a one to two hour lecture in and

00:29:22 --> 00:29:24

of itself If we speak about sincerity That

00:29:24 --> 00:29:26

is a lecture in and of itself If

00:29:26 --> 00:29:28

we speak about truthfulness This is a lecture

00:29:28 --> 00:29:30

in and of itself If we speak about

00:29:30 --> 00:29:32

patience This is a lecture in and of

00:29:32 --> 00:29:34

itself But because of the scope of our

00:29:34 --> 00:29:36

time together We will just run through these

00:29:36 --> 00:29:38

virtues And perhaps you can read up further

00:29:38 --> 00:29:40

on them And don't forget what is more

00:29:40 --> 00:29:43

important To bring these virtues into your own

00:29:43 --> 00:29:45

life May Allah make us from those who

00:29:45 --> 00:29:47

learn And put into practice what we learn

00:29:47 --> 00:29:49

Brother Raja how long do we have to

00:29:49 --> 00:29:49

go?

00:29:51 --> 00:29:56

Seven minutes Alhamdulillah So the third virtue of

00:29:56 --> 00:29:58

the Muhajirun Allah says they were truthful people

00:29:58 --> 00:30:03

They were truthful people Allah says in Surah

00:30:03 --> 00:30:08

59, Ayah number 8 لِلْفُقَرَاءِ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ الَّذِينَ أُخْرِجُوا

00:30:08 --> 00:30:13

مِنْ دِيَارِهِمْ وَأَمْوَالِهِمْ يَبْتَغُونَ فَضْلًا مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرِضْوَانًا

00:30:13 --> 00:30:18

وَيَنْصُرُونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ أُولَٰئِكُ هُمُ الصَّادِقُونَ We cited

00:30:18 --> 00:30:20

this ayah When we spoke about sincerity Allah

00:30:20 --> 00:30:23

subhanahu wa ta'ala says About the Muhajirun

00:30:23 --> 00:30:26

here That such are indeed the truthful Meaning

00:30:26 --> 00:30:29

they spoke what they meant And they meant

00:30:29 --> 00:30:31

what they said This is who they were

00:30:31 --> 00:30:33

And this is what being truthful is my

00:30:33 --> 00:30:35

dear brothers and sisters That you speak what

00:30:35 --> 00:30:37

you mean And you mean what you speak

00:30:37 --> 00:30:40

And when you live on earth And you

00:30:40 --> 00:30:42

say you're a Muslim You're a person of

00:30:42 --> 00:30:45

لا إله إلا الله محمد رسول الله You

00:30:45 --> 00:30:47

submitted to the You've submitted to the will

00:30:47 --> 00:30:50

of Allah Then you be truthful to that

00:30:50 --> 00:30:52

which you say By being attached to the

00:30:52 --> 00:30:55

sunnah of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam And worshipping

00:30:55 --> 00:30:58

Allah How he wants to be worshipped And

00:30:58 --> 00:31:00

living on earth How Allah wants you to

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

live on earth Why?

00:31:01 --> 00:31:04

Because you also said محمد رسول الله That

00:31:04 --> 00:31:06

Muhammad is his messenger And you know that

00:31:06 --> 00:31:10

Allah taught Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam How Allah

00:31:10 --> 00:31:11

wants us to be on earth And this

00:31:11 --> 00:31:13

is what it means my dear brothers and

00:31:13 --> 00:31:17

sisters To be truthful We'll take one more

00:31:17 --> 00:31:20

Inshallah virtue And then the remainder We'll take

00:31:20 --> 00:31:22

tomorrow by the will of Allah And this

00:31:22 --> 00:31:26

virtue Is the virtue of Struggling for the

00:31:26 --> 00:31:29

sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala And

00:31:29 --> 00:31:33

bringing yourself about And striving To beat your

00:31:33 --> 00:31:37

desires Striving to beat yourself For the sake

00:31:37 --> 00:31:39

of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala The muhajirun

00:31:39 --> 00:31:43

were praised For their ability to strive And

00:31:43 --> 00:31:46

struggle for the sake of Allah Subhanahu wa

00:31:46 --> 00:31:51

ta'ala In chapter 9 Ayah number 20

00:31:51 --> 00:31:54

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says الذين آمنوا

00:31:54 --> 00:32:00

وهاجروا وجاهدوا في سبيل الله بأموالهم وأنفسهم أعظم

00:32:00 --> 00:32:05

درجة عند الله وأولئك هم الفائزون Allah says

00:32:05 --> 00:32:08

That those who believed and migrated And strove

00:32:08 --> 00:32:12

hard And fought Allah's cause With their wealth

00:32:12 --> 00:32:15

and their lives Allah says They are far

00:32:15 --> 00:32:18

higher in degree with Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:32:18 --> 00:32:21

'ala And they are from the successful And

00:32:21 --> 00:32:23

this is what Ramadan brings to us My

00:32:23 --> 00:32:25

dear brothers and sisters Ramadan is a month

00:32:25 --> 00:32:28

to train us To build our resolve To

00:32:28 --> 00:32:31

strengthen our resolve In front of haram Ramadan

00:32:31 --> 00:32:34

is that month that comes to make us

00:32:34 --> 00:32:38

people That inshallah can Bring into our lives

00:32:38 --> 00:32:40

this virtue From the virtues of the muhajirun

00:32:40 --> 00:32:42

This virtue to beat shaitan The ability to

00:32:42 --> 00:32:45

beat shaitan And the ability to beat our

00:32:45 --> 00:32:47

nafs You know my dear brothers and sisters

00:32:47 --> 00:32:50

It's far harder to leave halal Than it

00:32:50 --> 00:32:52

is to leave haram Right?

00:32:52 --> 00:32:54

It's far harder to leave Halal, why?

00:32:54 --> 00:32:56

Because when you do halal You get jannah,

00:32:56 --> 00:32:58

but it's easy To leave haram, or it

00:32:58 --> 00:33:00

should be easy Some people are scratching their

00:33:00 --> 00:33:02

heads saying what are you talking about It's

00:33:02 --> 00:33:04

harder to leave haram No, it should be

00:33:04 --> 00:33:06

easier to leave haram Why?

00:33:06 --> 00:33:09

Because there's a hellfire After that haram So

00:33:09 --> 00:33:12

because you're scared of the hellfire You should

00:33:12 --> 00:33:16

be able to leave that bad Ramadan Allah

00:33:16 --> 00:33:18

tells us to leave halal What is normally

00:33:18 --> 00:33:18

halal?

00:33:18 --> 00:33:22

Halal food Halal drink, and halal relationships What

00:33:22 --> 00:33:23

is normally halal?

00:33:23 --> 00:33:25

And we can do it for a month

00:33:25 --> 00:33:28

To teach ourselves That if we can leave

00:33:28 --> 00:33:30

halal, which is Harder to leave, then we

00:33:30 --> 00:33:32

have the power And ability to leave haram

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

Throughout the rest of the year, right?

00:33:35 --> 00:33:36

And this is what it means my dear

00:33:36 --> 00:33:38

brothers and sisters To strive and struggle for

00:33:38 --> 00:33:40

the sake of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:33:40 --> 00:33:44

Once Rasulullah ﷺ Came from a battle, and

00:33:44 --> 00:33:46

he said We have come back from the

00:33:46 --> 00:33:49

lesser jihad To the greater jihad The greater

00:33:49 --> 00:33:51

jihad, which is the jihad of the self

00:33:51 --> 00:33:54

To beat yourself, to beat Your desires, to

00:33:54 --> 00:33:56

beat the whispers of shaitan So this is

00:33:56 --> 00:33:58

virtue number four And we ask Allah to

00:33:58 --> 00:34:01

make this month A month of bringing The

00:34:01 --> 00:34:03

virtues of the muhajirun In our lives, ameen

00:34:04 --> 00:34:07

Inshallah tomorrow we will discuss a few more

00:34:07 --> 00:34:11

Virtues from the virtues of The muhajirun Bi

00:34:11 --> 00:34:13

-idhnillahi ta'ala And discuss some of the

00:34:13 --> 00:34:15

other lessons That we have cited.

00:34:15 --> 00:34:17

My dear brothers and sisters I love you

00:34:17 --> 00:34:19

all for the sake of Allah May Allah

00:34:19 --> 00:34:20

subhanahu wa ta'ala bless you all And
