We know of people my dear brothers and

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

sisters who've passed away and they've left behind

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

millions Who took ownership of those millions?

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

Did the millions go with them into the

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

grave?

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

No, Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam taught us

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

Inna nafsa lantamuta hatta thastakmila rizqaha That no

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

soul shall taste death until that soul Completes

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

eating the last grain of rice that Allah

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

subhanahu wa'ta'ala decreed for the soul You

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

will not die until you eat that last

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

grain.

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

If it's lost, you will not die until

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

you find it This is the sunnah of

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

Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala that you and I

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

can't see the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

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

He's not going to walk into this masjid.

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

We can't shake his hand We can't tug

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

his shirt We can't race with him and

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

smile with him and learn from him, but

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

we have his sunnah with us today We

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

need to love his sunnah.

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

We need to show our love for him

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

by loving his sunnah, my dear brothers and

00:00:55 --> 00:01:11

sisters Bismillah

00:01:11 --> 00:01:14

ar-Rahman ar-Rahim Alhamdulillahi rabbil alameen Wa

00:01:14 --> 00:01:15

00:01:28 --> 00:01:31

praises belongs to Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala We

00:01:31 --> 00:01:33

praise him, we seek his assistance and we

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

seek his guidance And we seek refuge in

00:01:35 --> 00:01:37

Allah from the evil of our souls and

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

the adverse consequences of our deeds Whomsoever Allah

00:01:41 --> 00:01:44

guides, none can misguide And whomsoever Allah misguides,

00:01:44 --> 00:01:46

then none can guide And peace and salutations

00:01:46 --> 00:01:49

be upon the final messenger Muhammad ibn Abdullah

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

sallallahu alaihi wasallam I bear witness that there

00:01:53 --> 00:01:54

is no one worthy of worship besides one

00:01:54 --> 00:01:58

Allah And that Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam is

00:01:58 --> 00:02:01

his messenger My dear brothers and sisters in

00:02:01 --> 00:02:08

Islam My dear elders And to everyone behind

00:02:08 --> 00:02:11

this camera in front of me My parents,

00:02:11 --> 00:02:14

my spouse, my children Ahmad and Abdullah And

00:02:14 --> 00:02:16

all the Muslims watching in I greet you

00:02:16 --> 00:02:20

with the greetings of peace Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh

00:02:23 --> 00:02:25

Yesterday my dear brothers and sisters we witnessed

00:02:25 --> 00:02:30

episode 3 Of season 3 of blast from

00:02:30 --> 00:02:34

the past seerah in the 21st century This

00:02:34 --> 00:02:39

fiqh of seerah series And by the end

00:02:39 --> 00:02:42

of yesterday's episode We discussed the Prophet sallallahu

00:02:42 --> 00:02:45

alaihi wasallam's entrance into Medina And the events

00:02:45 --> 00:02:48

that took place Obviously there's more events that

00:02:48 --> 00:02:50

took place But as promised we're not storytelling

00:02:50 --> 00:02:53

here We're sticking to important parts from the

00:02:53 --> 00:02:56

seerah that we want to use To deduce

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

lessons that benefit us today in the 21st

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

century So we touched on those particular mentions

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

And we spoke about the Prophet sallallahu alaihi

00:03:07 --> 00:03:09

wasallam Settled in the house of Abu Ayyub

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

Al-Ansari R.A And we also spoke

00:03:13 --> 00:03:17

about Masjid Al-Nabawi And its establishment And

00:03:17 --> 00:03:22

a brief backdrop to its establishment And what

00:03:22 --> 00:03:24

happened when the Qibla was changed And then

00:03:24 --> 00:03:27

what happened to the Masjid As a result

00:03:27 --> 00:03:30

after the Qibla being changed From Bayt Al

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

-Maqdis to Mecca We said that part which

00:03:34 --> 00:03:36

used to be the Qibla Now had a

00:03:36 --> 00:03:40

bit of a shelter over it And it

00:03:40 --> 00:03:43

became the place of Sufah And the people

00:03:43 --> 00:03:46

that would stay there were known as Ahlus

00:03:46 --> 00:03:49

Sufah Or the people of As-Sufah Now

00:03:49 --> 00:03:51

these people my dear brothers and sisters As

00:03:51 --> 00:03:53

we said they were the homeless, the way

00:03:53 --> 00:03:57

they impoverished They were the poor But also

00:03:57 --> 00:04:00

we must mention That some of the rich

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

of Medina Gave up their homes for some

00:04:02 --> 00:04:05

days to come and stay In this place

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

As-Sufah So that they could taste, they

00:04:09 --> 00:04:12

could taste a simple life They could live

00:04:12 --> 00:04:15

what their brothers the Muhajirun and the sisters

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

what they lived Right, and this would assist

00:04:18 --> 00:04:22

them in being better helpers Better Ansari's Better

00:04:22 --> 00:04:26

helpers to the Muhajirun Because you only know

00:04:26 --> 00:04:27

once you know And you can only know

00:04:27 --> 00:04:30

once you experience it Like Ramadan right now

00:04:30 --> 00:04:32

One of the wisdoms is to experience a

00:04:32 --> 00:04:34

bit of hunger And in reality we don't

00:04:34 --> 00:04:36

experience hunger We know that this body can

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

go days without food Alhamdulillah We have storage,

00:04:40 --> 00:04:42

we have stores of food Mashallah all over

00:04:42 --> 00:04:44

the body from 11 months in the year

00:04:44 --> 00:04:47

14 hours of fasting is not going to

00:04:47 --> 00:04:50

do any damage really Especially when at night

00:04:50 --> 00:04:52

time Mashallah we make it up right Right,

00:04:52 --> 00:04:54

we treat the, you know I had a

00:04:54 --> 00:04:56

talk or a few talks Just before coming

00:04:56 --> 00:04:59

here on how to prepare for Ramadan Right,

00:04:59 --> 00:05:01

and Mashallah people do prepare for Ramadan They

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

prepare for Ramadan by filling up the fridges

00:05:03 --> 00:05:04

And I said no but that's not what

00:05:04 --> 00:05:07

we intend when we say prepare for Ramadan

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

Right, but the point is that you know

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

Fasting is not going to do you know

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

Any damage to us my dear brothers and

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

sisters right Except in specific circumstances And for

00:05:18 --> 00:05:22

those circumstances the Sharia has an excuse But

00:05:22 --> 00:05:24

when we fast from the wisdoms the scholars

00:05:24 --> 00:05:27

say is to feel a little bit Of

00:05:27 --> 00:05:29

that which the poor people feel in a

00:05:29 --> 00:05:32

greater way everyday There are people Subhanallah who

00:05:32 --> 00:05:35

fast without choice There's no Iftar time for

00:05:35 --> 00:05:37

them because there's no food at the time

00:05:37 --> 00:05:40

of Iftar Alhamdulillah we fast knowing or having

00:05:40 --> 00:05:43

great confidence That when seven twenty three comes

00:05:43 --> 00:05:46

The time of Salatul Maghrib arrives We will

00:05:46 --> 00:05:50

have food to break our fast on So

00:05:50 --> 00:05:52

some of the rich from the Ansar they

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

would come and stay in this place I

00:05:54 --> 00:05:55

thought I might throw that in because it's

00:05:55 --> 00:05:57

a good lesson for us It's a good

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

lesson for us especially in light of you

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

know current Circumstances surrounding the Ummah and we

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

did discuss Your brother, our brother and your

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

fellow Malaysian brother and sister Brother Jamal we

00:06:08 --> 00:06:10

spoke about his story yesterday Who's there in

00:06:10 --> 00:06:14

France in Calais, France living with refugees Who

00:06:14 --> 00:06:18

are impoverished, they're homeless, they're moneyless They have

00:06:18 --> 00:06:21

nothing and he's there for the sake of

00:06:21 --> 00:06:23

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Cooking one thousand

00:06:23 --> 00:06:25

meals a day You should make dua for

00:06:25 --> 00:06:26

him my dear brothers and sisters And you

00:06:26 --> 00:06:28

should try and learn about his story And

00:06:28 --> 00:06:29

you should help him if you can't go

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

there assist him with dua Assist him with

00:06:32 --> 00:06:35

monetary support Assist him with support in kind

00:06:35 --> 00:06:38

right And this is the beauty of Islam

00:06:38 --> 00:06:40

That you know sometimes we can be in

00:06:40 --> 00:06:41

the comfort of our homes But we have

00:06:41 --> 00:06:43

a chance to earn the deeds of other

00:06:43 --> 00:06:45

people Who are doing it the hard way

00:06:45 --> 00:06:46

They're doing it the real way should I

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

say Let's not call it the hard way,

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

let's call it the real way That's the

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

beauty of Islam because If you support someone

00:06:53 --> 00:06:55

doing good and they do that good Allah

00:06:55 --> 00:06:57

will share with you a portion of the

00:06:57 --> 00:07:00

rewards Without reducing any of their rewards The

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

point is the rich from Medina Some of

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

them would come and stay in As-Suffah

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

To feel the reality of living the simple

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

life You're at the back of a masjid,

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

it's very simple And this should also teach

00:07:12 --> 00:07:14

us the reality of the masjid And inshallah

00:07:14 --> 00:07:16

we will come to that Now we must

00:07:16 --> 00:07:19

understand that From the people of As-Suffah

00:07:19 --> 00:07:24

Was the famous sahabi Abu Hurairah This man

00:07:24 --> 00:07:26

who is a pillar of hadith In the

00:07:26 --> 00:07:30

era of the sahaba To such an extent

00:07:30 --> 00:07:33

That the orientalist and the enemies of Islam

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

And those who want to disprove Islam And

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

reduce the sanctity that Islam Alhamdulillah or should

00:07:41 --> 00:07:42

I say they try to reduce They'll never

00:07:42 --> 00:07:44

be able to reduce But they try to

00:07:44 --> 00:07:49

reduce the sanctity that Islam holds They work

00:07:49 --> 00:07:53

on Abu Hurairah Especially from the era of

00:07:53 --> 00:07:56

the sahaba And Imam Az-Zuhri especially In

00:07:56 --> 00:07:58

the era of the tabi'een, why?

00:07:58 --> 00:08:02

Because Abu Hurairah was a pillar of hadith

00:08:02 --> 00:08:05

He narrated the most hadith In the era

00:08:05 --> 00:08:07

of the sahaba If they can drop him

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

If they can spoil his name If they

00:08:10 --> 00:08:13

can bring about some information That will make

00:08:13 --> 00:08:16

people lose trust In his ability with hadith

00:08:16 --> 00:08:18

Then the sunnah of the Prophet shallallahu alaihi

00:08:18 --> 00:08:19

wasallam will fall Right?

00:08:20 --> 00:08:24

Abu Hurairah radiallahu anhu He was from the

00:08:24 --> 00:08:26

people of As-Suffah He was a poor

00:08:26 --> 00:08:29

person And he was living here But subhanallah

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

look how knowledgeable he was Now the reason

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

why I highlight this my dear brothers and

00:08:33 --> 00:08:36

sisters is Because the Prophet shallallahu alaihi wasallam

00:08:36 --> 00:08:38

He took care of the people of As

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

-Suffah In so many ways He would visit

00:08:41 --> 00:08:43

them He would speak to them He would

00:08:43 --> 00:08:46

ask about them regularly If they were ill

00:08:46 --> 00:08:48

he would go pay them a special visit

00:08:48 --> 00:08:53

Subhanallah And sometimes Rasulallah shallallahu alaihi wasallam Would

00:08:53 --> 00:08:55

call some of the people from Ahlus-Suffah

00:08:55 --> 00:08:58

to his house To eat with him Subhanallah

00:08:58 --> 00:08:59

This is what he would do If you

00:08:59 --> 00:09:01

pay attention to this my dear brothers and

00:09:01 --> 00:09:04

sisters We're going to touch on lessons From

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

these points that I'm sharing In fact the

00:09:06 --> 00:09:08

son of Abu Bakr radiallahu anhu He says

00:09:08 --> 00:09:11

that the Messenger shallallahu alaihi wasallam Would tell

00:09:11 --> 00:09:16

the people that For the one who has

00:09:16 --> 00:09:20

sufficient food To feed two people He should

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

take one person from Ahlus-Suffah back with

00:09:22 --> 00:09:24

him home So three people eat from that

00:09:24 --> 00:09:27

meal That two people can eat from Because

00:09:27 --> 00:09:30

Allah will bless that meal Rizq is with

00:09:30 --> 00:09:33

Allah my dear brothers and sisters Sustenance is

00:09:33 --> 00:09:36

with Allah I don't feed You don't feed

00:09:36 --> 00:09:38

It is Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala who

00:09:38 --> 00:09:41

feeds You bring the poor person home Allah

00:09:41 --> 00:09:43

will bring the food there Because it is

00:09:43 --> 00:09:45

Allah who feeds this poor person Not you

00:09:45 --> 00:09:48

Not you In one of my projects that

00:09:48 --> 00:09:49

we're involved in Where we feed poor people

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

Alhamdulillah we feed about 8500 meals a day

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

Walillahilhamd To some of the most impoverished children

00:09:55 --> 00:09:57

on earth And I always tell my team

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

members That if a poor school writes in

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

And they request your assistance To provide food

00:10:03 --> 00:10:07

Accept it Don't take too much time You

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

know Running extra studies And doing some critical

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

analysis of the situation Because the one who

00:10:13 --> 00:10:16

feeds is Allah We are just a part

00:10:16 --> 00:10:18

of the process You just accept it And

00:10:18 --> 00:10:21

by Allah Allah will bring the donor Allah

00:10:21 --> 00:10:23

will bring the funds Allah will bring the

00:10:23 --> 00:10:25

food Because it's Allah who's feeding It's not

00:10:25 --> 00:10:27

you It's not me We must understand this

00:10:27 --> 00:10:28

Right?

00:10:28 --> 00:10:30

We must understand this And as Rasulullah s

00:10:30 --> 00:10:37

.a.w. taught us That no soul shall

00:10:37 --> 00:10:41

taste death Until that soul completes eating the

00:10:41 --> 00:10:43

last grain of rice That Allah s.w

00:10:43 --> 00:10:46

.t. decreed for the soul You will not

00:10:46 --> 00:10:48

die until you eat that last grain If

00:10:48 --> 00:10:50

it's lost You will not die until you

00:10:50 --> 00:10:52

find it This is the sunnah of Allah

00:10:52 --> 00:10:54

s.w.t And once you eat it

00:10:54 --> 00:10:56

You have to die Because if you live

00:10:56 --> 00:10:58

There's no more food for you No one

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

can feed you on earth besides Allah And

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

if Allah says This is the last grain

00:11:02 --> 00:11:04

Then it is the last grain And we

00:11:04 --> 00:11:05

know of people My dear brothers and sisters

00:11:05 --> 00:11:08

Who've passed away And they've left behind millions

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

Who took ownership of those millions?

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

Did the millions go with them into the

00:11:11 --> 00:11:12

grave?

00:11:12 --> 00:11:15

No Their family members inherited it They took

00:11:15 --> 00:11:17

ownership of it And then on the day

00:11:17 --> 00:11:20

of Qiyamah Allah will question those Who took

00:11:20 --> 00:11:22

ownership of this money Not the one who

00:11:22 --> 00:11:24

left it behind He will only be questioned

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

For how he earned it He will only

00:11:26 --> 00:11:28

be questioned For what he spent from it

00:11:28 --> 00:11:29

Does this make sense?

00:11:29 --> 00:11:32

So the Prophet s.a.w. Is telling

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

the people of Medina If you have food

00:11:34 --> 00:11:36

for two Take one person home Your food

00:11:36 --> 00:11:39

will be enough Don't worry Take this tawakkul

00:11:39 --> 00:11:41

From Rasulullah s.a.w. My dear brothers

00:11:41 --> 00:11:45

and sisters Ibn Umar r.a He never

00:11:45 --> 00:11:47

in the month of Ramadan He never would

00:11:47 --> 00:11:50

break his fast Except with the poor person

00:11:50 --> 00:11:52

on his table Except with the poor person

00:11:52 --> 00:11:55

on his table La ilaha illallah And if

00:11:55 --> 00:11:57

he came to know That there was no

00:11:57 --> 00:11:59

poor person on his table If there was

00:11:59 --> 00:12:01

no poor person on his table And he

00:12:01 --> 00:12:03

came to know That his family turned them

00:12:03 --> 00:12:06

away He would take his portion And he

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

would go out And give it to a

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

poor person to eat And if he came

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

home And he found out That the family

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

had eaten their shares And there was no

00:12:14 --> 00:12:16

more food for him He would remain hungry

00:12:17 --> 00:12:20

La ilaha illallah Allah tells us about the

00:12:20 --> 00:12:24

Ansar وَيُكْثِرُونَ عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَلَوْ كَانَ بِهِمْ خَصَاصَةً

00:12:25 --> 00:12:28

That the Ansar, they were people Who were

00:12:28 --> 00:12:31

selfless They were worried about their brother From

00:12:31 --> 00:12:34

the Muhajirun Even if they needed that They

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

needed that food But these are my brothers

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

from the Muhajirun They would give it to

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

them From the Muhajirun Ibn Umar r.a

00:12:40 --> 00:12:42

And this was his sunnah Where did he

00:12:42 --> 00:12:43

learn the sunnah From my dear brothers and

00:12:43 --> 00:12:47

sisters From his beloved Muhammad ibn Abdullah Sallallahu

00:12:47 --> 00:12:49

alayhi wa sallam Because there was no one

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

more selfless Than Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

00:12:52 --> 00:12:54

And this is life my dear brothers and

00:12:54 --> 00:12:56

sisters This is the true life This is

00:12:56 --> 00:13:00

the true life Right That you These are

00:13:00 --> 00:13:02

the toons of Jannah We have dattoos and

00:13:02 --> 00:13:06

tansrees and toons MashaAllah Here in Malaysia This

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

is how you title them We're talking about

00:13:07 --> 00:13:10

the toons of the hereafter That he's hungry

00:13:10 --> 00:13:12

in the dunya But Wallahi he's full in

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

Jannah He's full in Jannah And his Jannah

00:13:14 --> 00:13:16

is so full Subhanallah There might be no

00:13:16 --> 00:13:18

place Because of so much khair And so

00:13:18 --> 00:13:21

much good That this person does He does

00:13:21 --> 00:13:23

or she does With the waking of their

00:13:23 --> 00:13:25

every day And the sleeping of their every

00:13:25 --> 00:13:28

night So this is what Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi

00:13:28 --> 00:13:32

wa sallam Would say to the sahaba Now

00:13:34 --> 00:13:36

Also the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam As

00:13:36 --> 00:13:38

he would take care of the people of

00:13:38 --> 00:13:40

As-Suffah In this way He also used

00:13:40 --> 00:13:43

to educate them So Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa

00:13:43 --> 00:13:45

sallam With these poor people He was looking

00:13:45 --> 00:13:47

after them in three ways Number one Being

00:13:47 --> 00:13:49

a brother to them Asking them how they

00:13:49 --> 00:13:51

are Checking on them in the morning Checking

00:13:51 --> 00:13:53

on them in the evening Bringing them home

00:13:53 --> 00:13:55

to eat Telling people to take them home

00:13:55 --> 00:13:57

to eat When they were ill Going to

00:13:57 --> 00:13:59

see them Number one Number two He would

00:13:59 --> 00:14:02

take care of their spiritual needs This is

00:14:02 --> 00:14:05

how you truly take care of somebody Number

00:14:05 --> 00:14:07

three He would take care of their education

00:14:07 --> 00:14:09

How do we know this?

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

Because from Ahl-As-Suffah Were some of

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

the best fighters in the Muslim army From

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

Ahl-As-Suffah Was Abu Hurairah The pillar

00:14:17 --> 00:14:20

of Hadith From the period of the Sahaba

00:14:20 --> 00:14:22

Radhiallahu anhum ajma'in Right?

00:14:23 --> 00:14:25

He was an extremely knowledgeable man Where did

00:14:25 --> 00:14:27

he become knowledgeable from?

00:14:27 --> 00:14:29

From living with the poor people At the

00:14:29 --> 00:14:31

back of Masjid-An-Nabawi Which means Rasulullah

00:14:31 --> 00:14:34

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Used to educate them

00:14:34 --> 00:14:35

And that is why my dear brothers and

00:14:35 --> 00:14:38

sisters Be more substantial in your charity Don't

00:14:38 --> 00:14:42

just throw money And leave the person They

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

are more important to us than just Them

00:14:44 --> 00:14:46

receiving our money They have other needs than

00:14:46 --> 00:14:49

just money Than just food They have educational

00:14:49 --> 00:14:52

needs They have spiritual needs And here Rasulullah

00:14:52 --> 00:14:54

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Is teaching us How

00:14:54 --> 00:14:56

to truly take care about somebody It's not

00:14:56 --> 00:14:57

that they knock your door And you give

00:14:57 --> 00:14:59

them money and you say Go away No

00:14:59 --> 00:15:01

my dear brothers and sisters It's about treating

00:15:01 --> 00:15:03

them as a human being And not treating

00:15:03 --> 00:15:05

them as a thing Subhanallah May Allah grant

00:15:05 --> 00:15:09

us the understanding Now All these points I've

00:15:09 --> 00:15:10

shared with you Over the course of yesterday

00:15:10 --> 00:15:16

and today They fall under what historians And

00:15:16 --> 00:15:19

the scholars of fiqh Of seerah They call

00:15:19 --> 00:15:22

They call The first actions of the Prophet

00:15:22 --> 00:15:24

Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam When he came to

00:15:24 --> 00:15:27

Medina Now remember Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

00:15:27 --> 00:15:31

Was establishing the Islamic country So the first

00:15:31 --> 00:15:33

actions is very important For us to pay

00:15:33 --> 00:15:37

attention to Right It applies to us Whether

00:15:37 --> 00:15:40

we're going to establish an organization Whether we're

00:15:40 --> 00:15:41

going to establish a business Whether you're going

00:15:41 --> 00:15:45

to establish a school Right Any development matter

00:15:45 --> 00:15:47

Any matter that you want to use to

00:15:47 --> 00:15:50

change the world And all our businesses as

00:15:50 --> 00:15:51

Muslims Should be a means to change the

00:15:51 --> 00:15:52

world My dear brothers and sisters As we

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

said earlier Having a business is not for

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

profit Profit is a result of business Having

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

a business is the worship Is for the

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

worship of Allah That's how it is for

00:16:02 --> 00:16:04

a believer So take special care of these

00:16:04 --> 00:16:06

three points I'm going to share Because these

00:16:06 --> 00:16:09

were the three most important Things the Prophet

00:16:09 --> 00:16:11

Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam First did when he

00:16:11 --> 00:16:14

got to Medina In establishing the Islamic Assalamu

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

alaikum wa salam wa rahmatullah In establishing the

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

Islamic country The first thing He built a

00:16:19 --> 00:16:23

masjid We spoke about that The spiritual matters

00:16:23 --> 00:16:27

There's no development True development Without the masjid

00:16:27 --> 00:16:29

And there's no true development Without having spirituality

00:16:31 --> 00:16:33

Right That's number one Number two What did

00:16:33 --> 00:16:37

he do He established the social welfare system

00:16:38 --> 00:16:40

He didn't just say people need to believe

00:16:40 --> 00:16:42

in Allah And that's it No people need

00:16:42 --> 00:16:44

to eat They need to have shelter It's

00:16:44 --> 00:16:47

part and parcel of life He established that

00:16:47 --> 00:16:51

immediately By pairing the muhajirun with the ansar

00:16:52 --> 00:16:56

By giving a muhajir a brother from the

00:16:56 --> 00:16:58

ansar And perhaps we'll discuss this in more

00:16:58 --> 00:17:01

detail later Because the reality is amazing In

00:17:01 --> 00:17:03

terms of this brotherhood that occurred Because it

00:17:03 --> 00:17:07

was a case whereby You know They understood

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

it as true brotherhood And if they could

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

even share their families They would share their

00:17:12 --> 00:17:14

families Subhanallah This is how the ansar took

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

it And we'll discuss this when we Dive

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

into the lesson about The establishment of brotherhood

00:17:20 --> 00:17:24

Between the muhajirun and the ansar Right So

00:17:24 --> 00:17:26

the establishment of brotherhood And the place known

00:17:26 --> 00:17:29

as as-suffah This is the establishment of

00:17:29 --> 00:17:31

the social welfare system Immediately as the first

00:17:31 --> 00:17:34

steps in In what?

00:17:34 --> 00:17:37

In establishing the Muslim country If we take

00:17:37 --> 00:17:39

this down to our level My dear brothers

00:17:39 --> 00:17:42

and sisters Our businesses, our schools, our masajid

00:17:42 --> 00:17:44

Right We need to think of these things

00:17:45 --> 00:17:48

That we need to have A social welfare

00:17:48 --> 00:17:51

system in our organization A trust for the

00:17:51 --> 00:17:53

people in our business If they have any

00:17:53 --> 00:17:56

difficulty They can apply for help from this

00:17:56 --> 00:17:58

trust You as a leader, as a CEO,

00:17:59 --> 00:18:00

as a chairman As a visionary of your

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

business That you want to develop And you

00:18:02 --> 00:18:04

want to make it grow You want to

00:18:04 --> 00:18:06

take guidance from the prophet Sallallahu alayhi wasallam

00:18:07 --> 00:18:09

So if you are going to have your

00:18:09 --> 00:18:12

business With these high morals Because you're a

00:18:12 --> 00:18:13

Muslim and you should Your business should have

00:18:13 --> 00:18:15

these high morals Your business should have a

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

trust Should have a fund for your employees

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

For your employees Your school should have a

00:18:22 --> 00:18:25

trust, a fund For impoverished parents who have

00:18:25 --> 00:18:28

children Your community center, your masjid Should have

00:18:28 --> 00:18:31

a trust Alhamdulillah with the masjid it's easy

00:18:31 --> 00:18:33

A lot of masajid collect zakah But we

00:18:33 --> 00:18:35

should have a vision In how we distribute

00:18:35 --> 00:18:37

the zakah We should have a vision in

00:18:37 --> 00:18:41

how We reach out to the poor people

00:18:41 --> 00:18:43

Some masajid have so much zakah But they

00:18:43 --> 00:18:45

have no PR The poor person doesn't even

00:18:45 --> 00:18:46

know That they can get help from this

00:18:46 --> 00:18:48

institute I don't know how it is in

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

Malaysia But I'm talking from previous experiences That

00:18:50 --> 00:18:54

I have experienced Right If so, have a

00:18:54 --> 00:18:58

masjid, spirituality And spirituality falls under The banner

00:18:58 --> 00:19:02

of education So education and spirituality You need

00:19:02 --> 00:19:04

to train your staff You need to give

00:19:04 --> 00:19:07

them courses To uplift their skill sets And

00:19:07 --> 00:19:10

also you need to uplift their spirituality If

00:19:10 --> 00:19:11

you have non-Muslims in your business You

00:19:11 --> 00:19:15

have to give them da'wah Yes Today

00:19:15 --> 00:19:17

Muslims have non-Muslims working for them And

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

the non-Muslim never hears One word of

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

da'wah from them On the day of

00:19:20 --> 00:19:22

qiyamah they will tell Allah But I worked

00:19:22 --> 00:19:23

with this person for so many years Not

00:19:23 --> 00:19:24

one day did he tell me About you

00:19:24 --> 00:19:27

O Allah And about your messenger Sallallahu alayhi

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

wasallam But yet we want the profits to

00:19:30 --> 00:19:31

grow We want the business to be established

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

This happens when you live for today And

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

you live till before the grave You forget

00:19:37 --> 00:19:39

that there's a life after the grave The

00:19:39 --> 00:19:43

businessman The head teacher Or business leader of

00:19:43 --> 00:19:45

the school The CEO or chairman of the

00:19:45 --> 00:19:48

company Who lives knowing That there's a life

00:19:48 --> 00:19:50

after death Known as the life of the

00:19:50 --> 00:19:54

grave There's a life Known as the life

00:19:54 --> 00:19:56

of the day of qiyamah There's a life

00:19:56 --> 00:19:57

known as the life of jannah and jahannam

00:19:57 --> 00:20:00

These people They rush to the seerah and

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

say Let me build my business upon this

00:20:02 --> 00:20:04

So I can live my life building my

00:20:04 --> 00:20:06

jannah Or build my business upon this So

00:20:06 --> 00:20:08

I can live my life building my jannah

00:20:08 --> 00:20:11

Because the seerah is the foundation For our

00:20:11 --> 00:20:14

success no doubt Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam was

00:20:14 --> 00:20:17

taught by Allah So spirituality and education You

00:20:17 --> 00:20:19

got to take care of the spiritual matters

00:20:19 --> 00:20:22

Of your organization You should have reminders my

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

dear brothers and sisters You know Bring some

00:20:25 --> 00:20:29

learned students of knowledge Some mashayikh to your

00:20:29 --> 00:20:31

business To spend a week in your business

00:20:31 --> 00:20:35

With your employees Today as business owners we

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

spend Five thousand dollars a day Getting some

00:20:38 --> 00:20:40

trainer from the west To come and teach

00:20:40 --> 00:20:42

things we know from reading books My dear

00:20:42 --> 00:20:45

brothers and sisters It's common sense Really Right

00:20:45 --> 00:20:47

But if we say Why don't you think

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

of bringing a shaykh to your business To

00:20:49 --> 00:20:51

spend a week with your people And uplift

00:20:51 --> 00:20:53

their spirituality And then you look at the

00:20:53 --> 00:20:55

productivity of your company They'll say no this

00:20:55 --> 00:20:57

seems like a waste of money This is

00:20:57 --> 00:20:59

no vision You're getting the guy who charges

00:20:59 --> 00:21:01

five thousand dollars a day To teach you

00:21:01 --> 00:21:02

about vision And you don't have a vision

00:21:02 --> 00:21:05

La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah Right

00:21:05 --> 00:21:07

This is a loss This is a loss

00:21:08 --> 00:21:11

Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam educated And he lifted

00:21:11 --> 00:21:15

the spirituality Wallahi if you have people that

00:21:15 --> 00:21:17

Allah loves in your business Can you imagine

00:21:17 --> 00:21:19

what opening Allah will bring to your business

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

In your school Can you imagine what opening

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

Allah will bring to your school In your

00:21:23 --> 00:21:26

masajid Can you imagine what opening Allah will

00:21:26 --> 00:21:28

bring to the people of your masajid Yes

00:21:28 --> 00:21:30

Those who run the masjids They also need

00:21:30 --> 00:21:39

spiritual development They do So As-suffah Epitomizes

00:21:39 --> 00:21:41

for us the social welfare It epitomizes for

00:21:41 --> 00:21:45

us Spiritual and educational development The third thing

00:21:45 --> 00:21:47

that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam did was secure

00:21:47 --> 00:21:49

the Muslims How?

00:21:50 --> 00:21:54

By signing covenants And peace treaties with the

00:21:54 --> 00:21:58

people of the book That was surrounded Or

00:21:58 --> 00:22:00

that surrounded Medina And we'll discuss this inshallah

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

But I'm putting this right now I'm putting

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

this here right now Because we're talking about

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

the earliest practices of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam

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

And this is how he established the Islamic

00:22:09 --> 00:22:14

country Number one Education and spiritual development Number

00:22:14 --> 00:22:17

two Creation of social welfare Number three Creation

00:22:17 --> 00:22:20

of security These are the most important things

00:22:20 --> 00:22:23

to man These are the most important things

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

to man And that is why in لِإِلَا

00:22:25 --> 00:22:30

فِي قُرَيْشِ Allah says فَلْيَعْبُدُوا رَبَّ هَذَا الْبَيْتِ

00:22:30 --> 00:22:32

Allah says Worship the lord of this house

00:22:32 --> 00:22:36

الَّذِي أَطُعَمَهُم مِّن جُوعٍ وَآمَنَهُم مِّن خَوْفٍ The

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

one who fed you and protected you from

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

hunger And protected you from fear He gave

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

you security The scholars say That Allah is

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

telling us here The two most important things

00:22:46 --> 00:22:48

to mankind after Iman It's food and security

00:22:49 --> 00:22:53

You have Iman Your tummy is full You

00:22:53 --> 00:22:56

don't fear leaving your house This is Jannah

00:22:56 --> 00:22:59

on earth This is Jannah on earth I

00:22:59 --> 00:23:01

think we can all relate to this Right

00:23:01 --> 00:23:03

If somebody told you Tell us the three

00:23:03 --> 00:23:04

Just tell us the three things you need

00:23:04 --> 00:23:07

in life You have the answer وَلِلَّهِ الْحَمْدُ

00:23:07 --> 00:23:09

I need Iman I need my tummy full

00:23:09 --> 00:23:11

with Halal And I need security on earth

00:23:11 --> 00:23:14

You have this Wallahi you're on Jannah on

00:23:14 --> 00:23:16

earth You're on Jannah on earth And if

00:23:16 --> 00:23:17

you don't believe me Ask those people who

00:23:17 --> 00:23:19

don't have security but they have food And

00:23:19 --> 00:23:21

ask those people who have food but they

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

don't have security And ask those people who

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

don't have either وَالْعِيَاذُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْعِيَاذُ بِاللَّهِ You

00:23:26 --> 00:23:29

know in one of our feeding programs Our

00:23:29 --> 00:23:31

team went to Sudan To meet some of

00:23:31 --> 00:23:35

the Muslim children there Alhamdulillah they have security

00:23:35 --> 00:23:38

But they have so much hunger Wallahi To

00:23:38 --> 00:23:41

such an extent that their stomachs are eating

00:23:41 --> 00:23:43

itself It's called chronic hunger Where you see

00:23:43 --> 00:23:45

thin people with big stomachs, right?

00:23:45 --> 00:23:47

Their stomachs are expanding This is called chronic

00:23:47 --> 00:23:50

hunger And the reason for this is because

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

they're so hungry That the tummy is eating

00:23:52 --> 00:23:55

itself But Wallahi When they brought their videos

00:23:55 --> 00:23:57

And I was watching the videos And they

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

explained to me the situation there You know

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

what I saw?

00:24:01 --> 00:24:04

وَاللَّهِ وَبِاللَّهِ وَتَلَّهِ I saw the most hungriest

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

people on earth But I saw the most

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

The people who were the most attached to

00:24:08 --> 00:24:10

Allah Even though they were most hungry It's

00:24:10 --> 00:24:15

unbelievable They have no food They're so hungry

00:24:15 --> 00:24:18

But Subhanallah they're studying Qur'an Circles of

00:24:18 --> 00:24:20

Qur'an Memorizing Qur'an With the teacher

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

who's hungry as well And they don't have

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

pages and masahif like we have They have

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

wooden planks That they write the lesson on

00:24:27 --> 00:24:30

And they learn it one time After that

00:24:30 --> 00:24:31

they have to rub it off If it's

00:24:31 --> 00:24:32

rubbed off and they didn't learn it well

00:24:32 --> 00:24:35

It's gone They have one chance to memorize

00:24:35 --> 00:24:38

it And then it's gone Now they need

00:24:38 --> 00:24:40

the place for the new lesson Subhanallah And

00:24:40 --> 00:24:43

their Qur'an is very strong Their hift

00:24:43 --> 00:24:46

is very powerful Wallahi my dear brothers and

00:24:46 --> 00:24:48

sisters We don't have a right to complain

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

We don't have a right to complain We

00:24:50 --> 00:24:52

don't have a right to make excuses for

00:24:52 --> 00:24:54

our children They are spoiled Yes they are

00:24:54 --> 00:24:57

spoiled Except that they are spoiled They are

00:24:57 --> 00:24:59

spoiled Even if you're giving them the basics

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

They are spoiled In comparison to other Muslim

00:25:02 --> 00:25:03

children On the face of this earth And

00:25:03 --> 00:25:06

look how attached they are to Allah The

00:25:06 --> 00:25:08

tummies are hungry But the hearts are full

00:25:11 --> 00:25:13

Today we have people my dear brothers and

00:25:13 --> 00:25:16

sisters Their stomachs are full But their hearts

00:25:16 --> 00:25:19

are hungry We have rich people who can't

00:25:19 --> 00:25:22

sleep Who can't sleep Wallahi Their hearts are

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

hungry May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala assist

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

us The only way the heart can be

00:25:27 --> 00:25:29

full Is when it's full with the dhikr

00:25:29 --> 00:25:31

of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala And as

00:25:31 --> 00:25:35

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says It is

00:25:35 --> 00:25:37

only with the remembrance of Allah It is

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

only with the Qur'an And following the

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

Qur'an And thanking Allah And being patient

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

with Allah's decree And remembering Allah Can the

00:25:45 --> 00:25:49

heart find true life May Allah subhanahu wa

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

ta'ala grant us the understanding So these

00:25:51 --> 00:25:53

were the three things I'm going to repeat

00:25:53 --> 00:25:56

Number one Establishment of education and spiritual upliftment

00:25:56 --> 00:26:00

Number two Establishment of the social welfare system

00:26:00 --> 00:26:01

How?

00:26:01 --> 00:26:08

By Telling the people of Medina to Feed

00:26:08 --> 00:26:11

the people of Ahlus Sufah And by Rasulullah

00:26:11 --> 00:26:13

sallallahu alaihi wasallam Taking people home to him

00:26:13 --> 00:26:16

Number three Security How?

00:26:16 --> 00:26:19

By establishing treaties and covenants with The people

00:26:19 --> 00:26:23

of the book that Surrounded Medina And this

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

is the question for tomorrow's quiz What's the

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

prize brother Raja tomorrow?

00:26:28 --> 00:26:33

iPhone Not a Samsung Habibi By iPhone Tomorrow

00:26:33 --> 00:26:34

it's an iPhone Which number Ya Sheikh?

00:26:36 --> 00:26:38

He's still finding out the details But I

00:26:38 --> 00:26:39

think it's an iPhone 6 from what I

00:26:39 --> 00:26:45

read So Tomorrow's prize is an iPhone And

00:26:45 --> 00:26:48

the question is List the first steps that

00:26:48 --> 00:26:50

the Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam did when he

00:26:50 --> 00:26:54

came to Medina And how did he achieve

00:26:54 --> 00:26:54

those steps?

00:26:54 --> 00:26:56

So a little bit hard If it was

00:26:56 --> 00:26:57

a Samsung I would have made it easy

00:26:57 --> 00:26:58

But since it's an iPhone we make it

00:26:58 --> 00:27:01

a bit hard Right So The question is

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

List the first three things that the Prophet

00:27:03 --> 00:27:05

Sallallahu alaihi wasallam did when he came to

00:27:05 --> 00:27:08

Medina And how did he achieve those things?

00:27:08 --> 00:27:13

Allah bless you Ameen Okay Let's go into

00:27:13 --> 00:27:15

the lessons my dear brothers and sisters Of

00:27:15 --> 00:27:16

what we've shared I think we've been sharing

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

lessons already But let's go into some of

00:27:19 --> 00:27:22

the lessons of Related to the other Parts

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

of the story of the Sira That we

00:27:25 --> 00:27:28

Have been discussing Over the course of the

00:27:28 --> 00:27:31

previous episodes Firstly my dear brothers and sisters

00:27:31 --> 00:27:34

We learn from what we've discussed firstly We

00:27:34 --> 00:27:36

learn from what we've discussed firstly The love

00:27:36 --> 00:27:40

for Rasulullah Sallallahu alaihi wasallam The love for

00:27:40 --> 00:27:42

Rasulullah Sallallahu alaihi wasallam Where do we learn

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

this from?

00:27:43 --> 00:27:46

We learn this from How the Sahaba would

00:27:46 --> 00:27:49

go out daily Waiting to see if Rasulullah

00:27:49 --> 00:27:52

Sallallahu alaihi wasallam Was going to arrive that

00:27:52 --> 00:27:55

day To Medina They would go out daily

00:27:56 --> 00:27:58

And the only thing that would send them

00:27:58 --> 00:28:02

back Is the hot midday sun So as

00:28:02 --> 00:28:03

soon as they wake up The first thing

00:28:03 --> 00:28:04

on their mind is Today could be the

00:28:04 --> 00:28:06

day You know it's like when you're almost

00:28:06 --> 00:28:08

waiting for your baby The baby is about

00:28:08 --> 00:28:10

to be born Maybe it's a week Maybe

00:28:10 --> 00:28:12

it's two weeks Sometimes they come early Allah

00:28:12 --> 00:28:14

knows best Every day you wake up It

00:28:14 --> 00:28:16

could be today It could be today It

00:28:16 --> 00:28:17

could be today right?

00:28:17 --> 00:28:19

Then you go to sleep at night And

00:28:19 --> 00:28:22

you say it could be tomorrow May Allah

00:28:22 --> 00:28:23

bless all those who are about to have

00:28:23 --> 00:28:27

children Ameen So this is how they would

00:28:27 --> 00:28:29

do with Rasulullah Sallallahu alaihi wasallam They'd say

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

it could be today They would rush out

00:28:30 --> 00:28:32

with their families This is love my dear

00:28:32 --> 00:28:34

brothers and sisters This is love You can't

00:28:34 --> 00:28:37

wait to see him Right?

00:28:38 --> 00:28:40

And as we've said time and time again

00:28:40 --> 00:28:42

That you and I can't see the Prophet

00:28:42 --> 00:28:44

Sallallahu alaihi wasallam He's not going to walk

00:28:44 --> 00:28:47

into this masjid We can't shake his hand

00:28:47 --> 00:28:50

We can't tug his shirt We can't race

00:28:50 --> 00:28:53

with him And smile with him And learn

00:28:53 --> 00:28:55

from him But we have his sunnah with

00:28:55 --> 00:28:59

us today We need to love his sunnah

00:28:59 --> 00:29:01

We need to show our love for him

00:29:01 --> 00:29:03

By loving his sunnah my dear brothers and

00:29:03 --> 00:29:07

sisters These small things If we love him

00:29:07 --> 00:29:09

Sallallahu alaihi wasallam We would have it alive

00:29:09 --> 00:29:11

in our life The miswak The sunan prayers

00:29:11 --> 00:29:14

The sunan ibadat We would want to learn

00:29:14 --> 00:29:16

his adab The way he made dua The

00:29:16 --> 00:29:18

way he ate The way he walked The

00:29:18 --> 00:29:21

way he slept We would want to learn

00:29:21 --> 00:29:22

it We would want to do everything like

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

him Because we love him And that is

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

why you and I both We have to

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

revise ourselves We have to go on a

00:29:28 --> 00:29:32

journey with our hearts And ask ourselves How

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

much do we really love the Messenger Sallallahu

00:29:34 --> 00:29:37

alaihi wasallam Is it showmanship love?

00:29:38 --> 00:29:39

Where we say we love him, we love

00:29:39 --> 00:29:41

him When someone says Muhammad We say Sallallahu

00:29:41 --> 00:29:44

alaihi wasallam Alhamdulillah this is good But is

00:29:44 --> 00:29:46

it showmanship love or is it real love?

00:29:46 --> 00:29:48

That every time you say What would my

00:29:48 --> 00:29:51

Messenger do Sallallahu alaihi wasallam Do you want

00:29:51 --> 00:29:53

to be at his haud On the day

00:29:53 --> 00:29:56

of qiyamah Drinking from his blessed hand Only

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

because you will benefit from it Or do

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

you want to be there first Because you

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

love him And you want to be in

00:30:02 --> 00:30:04

that company You don't want to be the

00:30:04 --> 00:30:06

person on the outside Looking at other Muslims

00:30:06 --> 00:30:08

with him Because you love him Right?

00:30:09 --> 00:30:10

This is how we are with people we

00:30:10 --> 00:30:14

love Someone important comes You see how the

00:30:14 --> 00:30:17

celebrity fan business is Everyone is rushing to

00:30:17 --> 00:30:21

get to the front So is this showmanship

00:30:21 --> 00:30:22

love or is this real love?

00:30:24 --> 00:30:26

You have to ask yourself that question Only

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

you can help yourself in this matter And

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

depending on how sincere you are In terms

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

of loving the Messenger And helping yourself in

00:30:33 --> 00:30:36

this matter Will you be helped by Allah

00:30:36 --> 00:30:38

subhanahu wa ta'ala In bringing alive the

00:30:38 --> 00:30:42

sunnah In bringing alive the sunnah We love

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

the Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam By reviving the

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

sunnah That's what he left with us There's

00:30:47 --> 00:30:49

no excuse We don't have to say Well

00:30:49 --> 00:30:51

we loved him But we never had him

00:30:51 --> 00:30:53

No you loved him And you had his

00:30:53 --> 00:30:55

sunnah What did you do about it?

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

The sahaba radiallahu anhu ajma'een They had

00:30:58 --> 00:31:01

him and his sunnah We said yesterday They

00:31:01 --> 00:31:03

did things because it was a sunnah They

00:31:03 --> 00:31:05

never left things because it was a sunnah

00:31:05 --> 00:31:10

Today we belittle the sunnah But the sahaba

00:31:10 --> 00:31:12

no Once a person came to the house

00:31:12 --> 00:31:15

of Umar ibn Khattab radiallahu anhu And he

00:31:15 --> 00:31:17

knocked his door three times And when Umar

00:31:17 --> 00:31:19

finally got to the door He saw this

00:31:19 --> 00:31:23

man walking away So Umar said Called out

00:31:23 --> 00:31:25

to him and said come back What is

00:31:25 --> 00:31:26

this?

00:31:26 --> 00:31:27

Are you playing with me?

00:31:27 --> 00:31:28

Knocking my door and going away You know

00:31:28 --> 00:31:29

like how some of the kids do They

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

ring people's doorbells and run away Right?

00:31:33 --> 00:31:34

Now this wasn't like that The sahabi was

00:31:34 --> 00:31:37

serious But Umar was even more serious He

00:31:37 --> 00:31:38

goes what is this?

00:31:38 --> 00:31:39

You made me get up to the door

00:31:39 --> 00:31:40

And you're walking away?

00:31:40 --> 00:31:40

What is this?

00:31:41 --> 00:31:42

He says no I heard the Prophet Sallallahu

00:31:42 --> 00:31:45

alaihi wasallam say That when someone knocks someone's

00:31:45 --> 00:31:47

door three times And he has no answer

00:31:47 --> 00:31:49

You should leave So Umar said really?

00:31:49 --> 00:31:51

I never heard that And he grabbed this

00:31:51 --> 00:31:56

companion He says come Where are we going?

00:31:56 --> 00:31:58

Obviously this person was scared He said we're

00:31:58 --> 00:32:00

going to find someone Who can corroborate your

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

story We're going to find someone who can

00:32:03 --> 00:32:06

testify That the Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam Indeed

00:32:06 --> 00:32:08

said this And they came to a gathering

00:32:08 --> 00:32:11

of companions And Umar ibn Khattab radiallahu anhu

00:32:11 --> 00:32:13

He says this is what happened Who can

00:32:13 --> 00:32:14

save this person?

00:32:14 --> 00:32:16

It's as if he said that Who can

00:32:16 --> 00:32:17

save this person?

00:32:17 --> 00:32:19

And Alhamdulillah someone there said yes I also

00:32:19 --> 00:32:22

heard the Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam say that

00:32:22 --> 00:32:23

This is how they were my dear brothers

00:32:23 --> 00:32:26

and sisters It wasn't a case of my

00:32:26 --> 00:32:28

preference My choice How I wanted to be

00:32:28 --> 00:32:30

It was the case What is the Qur

00:32:30 --> 00:32:31

'an and what is the Sunnah?

00:32:31 --> 00:32:33

You know when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:32:33 --> 00:32:35

Said in the book That when you are

00:32:35 --> 00:32:38

told to leave Go away Allah teaches us

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

the adab Of visiting each other in the

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

Qur'an And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

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

says That if you go to somebody's house

00:32:45 --> 00:32:48

And that person says go away I'm busy

00:32:48 --> 00:32:51

Allah says irji'u Allah commands you to

00:32:51 --> 00:32:55

go back Allah commands you to go back

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

You know from the sahaba Those who said

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

we spent our whole lives Waiting for somebody

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

to tell us to go back So we

00:33:02 --> 00:33:05

could practice this ayah But subhanallah not one

00:33:05 --> 00:33:07

person told us to go back But look

00:33:07 --> 00:33:10

at this subhanallah Look at this subhanallah This

00:33:10 --> 00:33:12

is how they would think They would read

00:33:12 --> 00:33:13

an ayah and say I can't wait to

00:33:13 --> 00:33:15

practice on the instruction of this ayah So

00:33:15 --> 00:33:17

Allah can reward me for worshipping him in

00:33:17 --> 00:33:20

this way They saw every command of Allah

00:33:20 --> 00:33:23

As an opportunity to worship Allah subhanahu wa

00:33:23 --> 00:33:26

ta'ala Right?

00:33:27 --> 00:33:30

Today wallahi we all weak When the taraweeh

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

starts we can't wait for it to finish

00:33:34 --> 00:33:36

When the fast starts we can't wait for

00:33:36 --> 00:33:42

it to end Allah forgive us Ameen So

00:33:42 --> 00:33:44

the first lesson is the love for Rasulullah

00:33:44 --> 00:33:47

s.a.w And in the sunnah Rasulullah

00:33:47 --> 00:33:51

s.a.w said None of you truly

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

believes until I am more beloved to him

00:33:54 --> 00:33:57

Than his family, than his wealth and everybody

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

The Prophet s.a.w said None of

00:34:01 --> 00:34:05

you has truly believed Until I am more

00:34:05 --> 00:34:09

beloved Meaning until Muhammad s.a.w Is

00:34:09 --> 00:34:13

more beloved to him Than everyone in existence

00:34:13 --> 00:34:16

Even his parents You know Umar came to

00:34:16 --> 00:34:18

the Prophet s.a.w He says I

00:34:18 --> 00:34:22

love you more than everybody except myself So

00:34:22 --> 00:34:25

the Prophet s.a.w said no No

00:34:25 --> 00:34:27

you haven't truly believed He says I love

00:34:27 --> 00:34:31

you more than everybody including myself Immediately So

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

the Prophet said Now you have now Now

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

it's right Right?

00:34:36 --> 00:34:39

Now you have truly believed May Allah grant

00:34:39 --> 00:34:43

us the understanding Ameen Number two We learn

00:34:43 --> 00:34:46

the permissibility of going out of our way

00:34:46 --> 00:34:50

In welcoming our ulama Our knowledgeable people And

00:34:50 --> 00:34:55

people that society respects Especially our parents We

00:34:55 --> 00:34:58

learn the permissibility of going out Of going

00:34:58 --> 00:35:00

out of your way Today we don't have

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

to We go to the airport obviously But

00:35:02 --> 00:35:04

we say going out of your way To

00:35:04 --> 00:35:08

welcome people of importance Of knowledge People of

00:35:08 --> 00:35:11

spiritual development The elders of your community And

00:35:11 --> 00:35:15

especially your parents When Yaqub s.a.w

00:35:15 --> 00:35:17

came with the family from the desert Yusuf

00:35:17 --> 00:35:20

s.a.w went out to meet them

00:35:20 --> 00:35:22

Some of the scholars of tafsir say He

00:35:22 --> 00:35:24

went to the borders of Egypt And he

00:35:24 --> 00:35:31

said Enter Egypt with the permission of Allah

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

in safety In safety And this takes us

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

back to the earlier lesson That we need

00:35:36 --> 00:35:39

food and safety Because Egypt had food There

00:35:39 --> 00:35:41

was drought in Egypt But Yusuf had the

00:35:41 --> 00:35:44

stores of the land So there was food

00:35:44 --> 00:35:45

And now he's telling them Now you have

00:35:45 --> 00:35:50

safety Because that's important to man Belief, food

00:35:50 --> 00:35:52

and safety But the point is We learn

00:35:52 --> 00:35:55

the permissibility of doing so And we see

00:35:55 --> 00:35:57

this from the sunnah of Yusuf s.a

00:35:57 --> 00:36:00

.w as well We need to look after

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

our elders My dear brothers and sisters There

00:36:03 --> 00:36:05

shouldn't be old age homes in our community

00:36:06 --> 00:36:10

We need to look after our elders And

00:36:10 --> 00:36:12

if we don't have parents Then there's somebody

00:36:12 --> 00:36:14

else who's an elder That might need assistance

00:36:14 --> 00:36:16

Make your home their home The Prophet s

00:36:16 --> 00:36:19

.a.w said He is not from us

00:36:19 --> 00:36:22

Who does not have mercy on our young

00:36:22 --> 00:36:25

ones And who does not understand the honor

00:36:25 --> 00:36:28

of our elders In another narration he said

00:36:28 --> 00:36:30

He is not from us Who does not

00:36:30 --> 00:36:33

have mercy on our children And doesn't show

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

respect to our elders It's from respect to

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

go out of your way The sahaba used

00:36:38 --> 00:36:40

to go out of their homes To the

00:36:40 --> 00:36:42

outskirts of Medina Waiting for the Prophet s

00:36:42 --> 00:36:46

.a.w Singing as we heard Reciting poetry

00:36:46 --> 00:36:50

as we heard Taking the reins of the

00:36:50 --> 00:36:53

camel of the Prophet s.a.w as

00:36:53 --> 00:36:55

we heard Doing and doing and doing and

00:36:55 --> 00:36:57

doing Masha'Allah Going out of their way

00:36:57 --> 00:37:02

Abu Ayub Ansari r.a Grabbing the belongings

00:37:02 --> 00:37:04

of the Prophet s.a.w And rushing

00:37:04 --> 00:37:06

to his house Right?

00:37:06 --> 00:37:08

Going out of your way Not waiting for

00:37:08 --> 00:37:10

somebody to ask You know my father used

00:37:10 --> 00:37:12

to He always tells me till today He

00:37:12 --> 00:37:15

says There are certain things You should not

00:37:15 --> 00:37:16

wait for people to ask you to do

00:37:17 --> 00:37:20

Certain things you shouldn't be asked You should

00:37:20 --> 00:37:21

just do it You should be there and

00:37:21 --> 00:37:22

you should do it Right?

00:37:23 --> 00:37:24

With our elders this is one of them

00:37:24 --> 00:37:27

My dear brothers and sisters May Allah s

00:37:27 --> 00:37:29

.w.t grant us the understanding Ameen Sadly

00:37:29 --> 00:37:31

our time has come to an end Wallahi

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

At this rate I wish Ramadan was a

00:37:33 --> 00:37:36

few months But Ramadan is only one month

00:37:36 --> 00:37:38

And we only have a few episodes But

00:37:38 --> 00:37:40

may Allah grant barakah in our time I

00:37:40 --> 00:37:41

love you all for the sake of Allah

00:37:41 --> 00:37:44

May Allah bless our knowledge And increase our

00:37:44 --> 00:37:46

knowledge And make us from those who put

00:37:46 --> 00:37:48

our knowledge into practice Ameen May Allah preserve

00:37:48 --> 00:37:50

us in his obedience And accept our worship

00:37:50 --> 00:37:52

Ameen Until tomorrow my dear brothers and sisters

00:37:52 --> 00:37:54

Sallallahu wa sallam wa baraka ala nabiyyina Muhammad

00:37:54 --> 00:37:57
