We
stopped last time for the
decision for the zero,
and,
the time that
prophet Muhammad,
married
the mother of believer,
Sayeeda Khadija.
May Allah be pleased with her and all
the companions
of Rasulullah
We were talking last time
about Manatib
as Sayida Khadija.
How she,
treated
our beloved prophet Muhammad, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
in their marriage.
She was 40 years old, and he was
25 years old.
There
is 15 years
between them,
but
she never,
you know, gave
a a a hint or a sign to
prophet
Muhammad that she,
you know, provided him with the money and
the wealth, and she,
she did
a lot a lot of help
for Prophet Muhammad
She never mentioned that in front of him.
And in the other hand, Prophet Muhammad he
appreciated that
too much even after she passed away.
You know?
Sayyidakat, Aisha
Taul,
I never feel jealous with anyone
except with Khadija. Even they never meet in
their life.
She passed away long time.
But, you know, because prophet Muhammad
always talking about Khadija, and this is what
we need to learn.
If our wives
did something good for us, we have to
appreciate that. We have to mention that.
We have to, you know,
say at least,
thank you, JazakAllah Khair. May Allah reward you.
May Allah help you out like you helping
me all this time. You know, we are
human. We are Bashar.
And you can't unite you chukwaliwalitha
Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
The one who is not able to to
praise and to thank
people, he will not be able to thank
Allah
We need to train ourselves
how to to thank others
and to be able to thank Allah,
after that.
We were talking about the manardib,
you know, the,
honoring
for a saydah Khadija
from Allah and
what it was mentioned by prophet Muhammad
with the
a hadith that
anything prophet Muhammad
will say for us, we have to take
it. We have to accept it, and we
have to to believe it.
And this is the prophet Muhammad
mentioned
that
Khadija Radiallahu Anha Rudaha, she was the first
woman
accepted Islam,
and the second person after
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam accepted Islam. We talked
last time about this.
Also, prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam honored
her, and he never,
got married from any other woman in her
life.
Period.
Just
and it it it will give us
also a clear,
point.
Prophet Muhammad
was young,
25 years old, and
he stay
with the with the Khadija 25
years
in his marriage
because he spent in his life
38 years.
You know, 25 of these
38 of his
marriage life, he spent 25 of them with
the Khadija
And he never
even think
about
has other wife with her.
SubhanAllah.
It's not because this is forbidden
in Islam,
but because,
you know, it was
really a a good way to appreciate
for somebody who helped you out and who
supported you and who stay
behind you to to to defend you and
to push you to be closer to Allah
This is that we have to understand that.
Unfortunately,
we are dealing with the situation
the situations,
today,
especially for,
you know, when you have a daughter
and you offer your daughter for somebody from
overseas
or the one who is not legal in,
United States
just to help him out to to get
married
and
to have to to change his status with
the immigration.
You know, after a while,
they changed their color.
They used to kiss the hand and say,
you know,
okay. I will do I Very nice, very
kind person. And suddenly,
he he changed a 100%.
Why? Because he doesn't need help from from
her or her family anymore,
and this is really not good.
You know? Even if there is no something
written
between you and your wife or your family
your your wife's family,
You know, but you said it. It it's
enough.
You have to fulfill
your promise
because Allah will ask you in the day
of judgment about your promise.
Even in if you promise Allah
by yourself, no one listen to your promise.
And you still
it's a requirement for you to fulfill your
promise with
Allah. Sometimes we'll say, you know, nobody heard
me, alhamdulillah.
You know, just remain silent and let it
go. No.
If you promise to do something, you have
to do it. There is no
excuse unless
if you are excused
or Allah gave excuse for you, it's okay.
But I I mentioned this because I'm dealing
with some cases
right now.
Really, I I I was surprised when I
heard,
you know, the the brothers, he was so
kind, so nice. I said I I said
to myself, masha'allah, he's very nice brother, masha'allah.
Later call,
it's not one case or 2 or 3,
more than this. And the same result.
Really,
I'm confused.
And we we we we claim that we're
following prophet Mohammed
made
between
spouses,
between husband
and wife.
And
when somebody stretch
his hand to help you out,
you should not
bite it.
You have to kiss it, and you have
to appreciate
what he did or what she did for
you.
And this is you know, we we studying
about the life of prophet Muhammad,
you
know, not to waste our time. We need
to learn. We need to to have a
lessons
from his life
because we claim that we, we are we
are his followers,
and we have to to find how he
used to deal with these different matters in
his life, and we we will apply the
same matters for ourselves
and for our families.
Also,
prophet Muhammad,
He used to mention her name so much
Every time, every occasion, every, subhanallah,
Khadija.
The this is the the friend of Khadija.
This is the, you know, the family of
Khadija. This is the sister of Khadija. The
and this is you know, it's out of
love and out of respect.
Also, prophet
Muhammad
mentioned that, you know, the the love,
for Khadija, it was
a provision from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. It
was risk.
And you if when you feel that your
wife loves you,
you have to to prostrate yourself.
You have to make sudood.
Because
when you really have a chance
to find somebody
who loves you,
you know, this is a good sign
to to not to be stressed in your
life,
not to be
in hard hard hard hardship condition.
When you find somebody,
really loving you and helping you out, and
you have to be thankful
to return back in the same way even
more. Well, how the Quran taught
us.
At least I will do it.
When you when you find somebody
treating you in nice way, you have to
return back to him or to him in
the best way, not in the same way.
At least, you have to return back in
the same way. This is how prophet Muhammad
mentioned
that,
gave glad tidings
to the mother of believers,
Khadija
with
Jibril And,
prophet Muhammad
gave the glad tidings to Sayyid Al Khadija
that Allah
sent a special,
salaam for her, and Allah
built a house
from
a diamond
in Paradise.
There is no,
there is no
noise
or
tires
in this in this house. It's enjoyable,
a place
for for her, especially
to enjoy,
her life in in paradise.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentioned the the the
the word of the bayt, the house,
and he didn't say qas, the palace.
They he said because the word of bayt
because the mother of believers,
she used to work
as
as a house worker.
She used to work at at her home
for her children and for her husband, and
this is big honor
for for women
to to work at home.
More protection for her. She will be the
queen of of the house.
She will be
the in sharp person inside the house.
You know, any details inside the house, this
is belongs to her, not belongs to the
husband. Husband will work hard outside.
And Allah
mentioned,
Also, the the word of Bayt, Allah
mentioned in the Quran,
when this verse was revealed, prophet Muhammad,
called his daughter Fatima
and her husband,
Ali.
He
helped them out to have a nice dress,
very beauty dress, and he he raised his
his hand and Allahum Maha ulaa'i
ahlubayi ahlabayi.
Oh, Allah, those are
my family.
Fatima
and her husband Ali
and
Al Hassan Al Hasan al Hussein, you know,
their children.
These are the the family of Prophet Muhammad
Also,
what is the wisdom that Allah
mentioned
that the house that Allah
has has built for Khadija in paradise
has no
loud voice
and has no,
fatigue
or no,
tireless.
Why?
It's very peaceful,
atmosphere.
There are very
nice, enjoyable,
time in in that house.
The
Imam Ibn Hajar asked Khaleani mentioned,
and he said because Khadija,
she did not give prophet Muhammad hard time
at all.
And, Subhanallah,
we might have some some wives.
You know,
this is
their experience in life.
They they they learned how how to make
their husbands
really mad
or
just sad.
This is
this is their goal in the life. I'm
not talking about,
our sisters here tonight tonight. You know, just
that we need to go home, you know,
with the peaceful
condition, inshallah.
No. There is some well, why? Because I
I I get involved into
some cases.
The wife
look like a crazy.
When you talk, you know, this is what
Allah mentioned. This is what no. No. No.
I
I I have no relation with this one.
Subhanallah,
why you why you called yourself that you
are Muslim? Why?
You have to to respect what Allah,
mentioned in the Quran or what prophet Muhammad
mentioned
in Hadith.
Sayyidina Khadija, she never gave prophet
Muhammad a hard time.
And this is the idea.
And this is the the mukafa.
This is the word from Allah
When when she heard about Islam, she was
the first one
conferred to Islam. She was the first one
accepted Islam. And after that, she was very
rich
and she never make prophet Muhammad
down
in any in any time in her
life. And when she heard about Islam,
she did not she didn't need
prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam to raise
his voice to tell her, you know, about
the new religion that he came with.
And this is the the word from Allah.
And and it for us,
when we do something really in our life
good,
and we have to expect
the good reward from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Don't expect from somebody around you
because
they are limited.
Even if they are able to reward you,
also they have limit.
But when you expect
your reward from Allah only,
there is no limit with Allah
And Allah
will appreciate
what you have done for the sake of
him.
And
what you what you,
did for your wife,
you did for the sake of Allah
Also for wives, what they did for their
husband,
they have to do it for the sake
of Allah
because if
the the husband changed his mind later on,
she will not feel bad
because already she did for the sake of
Allah,
like the the cases that I was talking
about in the beginning of the lecture,
you know, they just make their themselves, they
were acting very kindly
and nicely
until
they they they had the the marriage certificate
and they applied for the immigration.
And since they got the green card or
the citizenship,
you know, the problem started.
What what what what's going on?
You know, because she did not make this
and did not make it. Why you did
not complain when you when you had nothing
before?
And this is not from Shaim Il Akhlaq.
This is not from a good man of
it.
This is very bad side
when the person when when somebody really
trusted you
and gave you
his daughter or her daughter. You know?
There is there is no
there is no more
potent
for the the the dad or mom
more than
their child,
their daughter.
If if you gave your daughter to somebody
else means that you love him so much.
You cut
piece of your of your body and you
give to him.
And some parents, they said, we're gonna write
the dowry, you know, $50,000
or 100. Say $1,000,000.
Nothing.
Because, you know, I I I gave you
a piece of my body. My daughter,
this is, you know, it's not
it's it's priceless.
Even if you say I will pay a
a thousand a a a a $100,000, it's
nothing.
But when you really
treat her in nice way and make her
happy all the time, help her out to
be
a a a a good a good, a
Muslim,
this is the the mukafa.
This is the the the word that you
return it back to to the the parents
or to the father and mother,
especially.
Yeah.
Also,
narrated the hadith.
She said, in one
day, Hara
Bintu Huaylid,
you know, the sister of Khadija,
she knocked on the door.
And prophet Muhammad
he
recognized
her voice.
And he remember
the voice of Khadija when she used to
ask prophet Muhammad permission to enter
into his place.
SubhanAllah.
You know,
Zayma when when you really have a wish
for something to happen to say, oh, Allah,
please make this happen.
And Zayda Aisha, she narrated the hadith and
she said, when prophet Muhammad heard
the the the voice of Halah
and, you know, like look like if you
if you was busy with something and suddenly
something happened and you will pay attention. Wow.
What's going on? Did you hear what what
I hear? Yeah. And this is was the
the voice
of Halah, the sister of Khadija Radiallahu
anhu
And and
You know, prophet Muhammad
mentioned the hadith
that
Satan
will sit on his throne or his chair
and he will send his soldier
to mislead people.
In the end of the day, they will
come back
to to
to gave the the record or to to
make,
you know, what they did on front of
him. And one of them will say, I
did dispute between the brother and his his
brother.
And Satan will say, you did good. Have
a seat. Who's next? The second one will
say, I did dispute between
the mom and her daughter. He said, you're
good, Seth.
And the other one will say, I I
made dispute between the husband
and his wife.
And shaitan will be happy. Said, you are
the best one.
Because he knows
when we have dispute between husband and wife,
we will split
the whole society.
You know? The husband will go in one
side with his family and friends, and the
wife will go in the other side with
his her family and friends.
And the children,
you know, will have mental problem later on
because
when when they go on this side,
they will hear something
bad about the other side. When they go
on the other side, they will hear bad
something bad
about the other side, and they will not
trust anyone
after
that because the dad and the mom,
the they they they are
the most people for the children to learn
and to trust
when they
figure out later on that they were cheating,
they were lying,
and they will not trust anyone after that.
And we are destroying
the whole society.
You know? They will be a a big
tool to destroy the society,
especially
Islamic
society later on.
And the this is the the danger of
disputes between husband and wife. And this never
happened between prophet Muhammad
and his wife, Khadija, been to Hawaii.
The last one today, just to finish,
all the the,
manakkal of Sayidah Khadija.
She was the best
woman
of this nation.
This is how prophet Muhammad mentioned,
Al Hadith Rawahu Sayyiduna Ali,
you know,
she will be her her, his mother-in-law.
And he narrated the hadith about her her
his mother-in-law
Khadija
because Khadija, the mother of Fatima,
and he's the husband of Fatima,
Karamakhar wajah.
He narrated the hadith that prophet Muhammad said,
kayrunisa
iha
mariam.
Wa kayrunisa iha Khadija.
This hadith fil Bukhayr.
And
it's
very in general hadith.
But when we read, subhanAllah,
how does scholars
explain
and make details
for
for for for this hadith, and they they
they said,
Mariam,
in her in her time, she was the
best in her time. Like,
Jewish, Allah
mentioned in the Quran,
you know,
We choose them
above all.
When?
Today?
No.
In their time.
In in the time of Musa alaihi salaam.
Because
only they were believing in Allah
Nobody else. And this is why Allah choose
them in that time.
But they claimed
that they are the best even today, but
this is incorrect
information.
The
the the Jewish and the Christians, they claim
that they are
the most beloved one to Allah
And the Quran
respond back to them and said, no. It's
not correct. Why Allah punched you if you
are the most beloved one to her?
It's not our our point, but just to
to see how the scholars
of hadith
really
make explanation
about the about
And they they did some information
and they added some information
to help us to understand the hadith of
Rasulullah
because
Allah
gave prophet Muhammad, salallahu alaihi wa sallam, jawaam
al kalim. Jawaam al kalim means to say
very short sentence
but has a lot a lot of meaning.
And this is how prophet Muhammad, salallam,
used to say just very short sentence
has a lot of meaning.
We need, you know, books
to to explain the the meaning of the
word that prophet Muhammad
mentioned.
And the first
opinion,
they said,
but it's wrong
statement
that Islam
gave women
all the rights.
And the prophet Muhammad
mentioned hadith.
If the woman
prays
her 5 times
every day
and she fasts
her month,
which is the month of Ramadan,
and she protected
her private part
to stay away
from zina, to stay away from adultery,
and she obeyed her husband.
These are
4
tasks
for women.
If they did these 4 things,
you know what is the reward from Allah?
We we we do not have this
this luck like like them.
They are lucky more than us.
Allah
will tell her in the day of judgement,
enter into paradise from any gate that you
wish.
You would like to enter from the gate
of fasting, arayyan, or the gate of salah,
or the gate of salakah, or of the
gate this is up to you. Choose any
way, any any gate
to enter into paradise.
And this is big honor from Allah
for women.
But the enemies of Islam, they try to
change
their mind,
you know, to change our sister's mind,
you know, to push her,
to take her hijab out
or to to just,
to act as a a naked
woman
or to
to to have her own opinion.
You know, I I
I have the half of the house
and I have the half of the heritage.
You know? Subhanallah. If they go through a
divorce,
they will divide 5050.
Like, when they
when they,
were in business together,
and they will with they got,
they they, they close the business, and they
will divide,
you know, 5050.
We have to understand
that Allah
He created us,
and He knows
what is the good,
good situation for us us or good condition
for us,
male or female.
And we should not
act
in in in a strange way.
We have just to submit ourselves
to Allah
and to
accept what Allah,
did for us. Is the has? In 20
minutes.
3 minutes? 3 minutes. 3 minutes. 3 minutes.
3 minutes. Oh, we still have time.
Yep.
This is the the
the,
the marriage
between prophet Muhammad and
Sayid Al Khadija.
And really, I wish for for all
the spouses
to learn
and to study. And this is as a
as a guidelines.
You still have time
to go back and to just Google,
Google it,
what
the the
the the information about
marriage of prophet Muhammad
from Khadija
in your own language
to to understand and to learn more about
about the this relationship between prophet Muhammad
and his wife Khadija bin Huwaidid.
We're gonna move to other
occasion
happened in in the in life of prophet
Muhammad.
I I I mentioned prophet Muhammad
get married from Khadija
when he was 25 years old
and stay with her
other 25 years
yeah. Because
she passed away when prophet Muhammad was
50
years
old.
Makes sense? He spent,
you know,
a quarter of the century
with her.
When the husband got married for
2, 3 years,
and they they start
fighting and they,
what's going on?
You know,
she she never listened to me. She never,
she always gave me hard time. She always
making me down, subhanallah.
And prophet
Muhammad spent 25 years with Sayyidina Khadija, and
she never gave him hard time
in the beginning of Islam or after long
time
of of their marriage.
When prophet Muhammad
reaches,
Big
occasion happened,
you know, the the Kaaba get burned
in that time.
And
the people of Christ, there is no Islam
yet
because it
was before
the prophethood
for prophet Muhammad,
5 years. He was 40 years old when
Allah
sent Jibril down to prophet Muhammad
with the revelation.
He was
35 years old.
We will mention it,
just quickly
for these 10 minutes between Adar and Ilkham,
inshallah.
And
the people of Quraysh,
they decided
to
destroy the Kaaba and rebuild the Kaaba again
stronger than before.
But they were afraid
because
even if they are disbelievers,
but they've they they still
have the sense of this is the house
of Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And they did not
want to make it
until
the man,
his name,
Muhammad,
Al Waleed ibn
Muhirah.
You know, just the
he tried to help them out. Nothing wrong.
Our intention is good. We try to
rebuild the Kaaba again and to do something
good for the Kaaba. It's not not something
bad.
But everybody was afraid
to to take the old stones and just
to to remove
all the the the the stones of the
Kaaba and to start build it again.
And he started by himself,
and he he hold the the arks and
start
to dig in into the the world of
the Kaaba, and everybody was watching
what will happen to him. After a while,
nothing happened, and all of them come together
and they remove all the stones of the
Kaaba, and they start,
build the Kaaba again.
And
after
a while,
they complete
the building of the Kaaba.
But there is a big problem now. You
know, Arabs
the the tribe of Arabs,
really, they have very,
sensitive
situation
when they when when the when the issue,
comes into, you know, a riada or who
is
in charge,
or who has a good reputation,
you know,
among
all the tribes.
And the time
that they are able to put the,
the,
black stone,
a Hagar al Aswelt,
Which one is correct?
An Aswelt or an
Aswelt?
Aswelt. Aswelt. Both of them are correct.
In Aswelt,
you know, in
It it was
white.
Whiter more than the milk, the hadith of
prophet Muhammad It
was a stone from paradise.
You know? It was white
but from the sense of
become dark,
become black,
and even only the the top of the
stone is black
but the rest of the stone, the scholar
they said, the the the the major of
the stone, almost,
1,
almost a 110
centimeters
indeed inside the.
The rest of the stone is white, very
white.
But the top of the stone because people
touching the the the top of the stone
this is the reason why the the top
of the stone become black now or become
dark because of the
or.
Al Hajar al Asad, we might have next
time more explanation about Al Hajar al Asad
or Al Hajar al Asad. But today,
I would like to really
focus for,
the the
the action of Rasulullah
He he how he was very wise
and intelligent person.
He was able to be a leader
even before before the prophethood.
And this is I'm talking to our youth
today.
You know, you have to pay attention
for your actions,
for your words.
Even when when you're still young in early
age, high school or college age, it's it's
still
you know, people will look at you and
your actions in different way.
And I wish
if all of them are here, but I
know some of them, they left. I saw
them, but I hope that Allah will return
them back for salah inshallah.
You know,
When
they,
built the rebuilt the Kaaba again
and the time to put
the the black stone in its place at
the corner of the Kaaba,
the tribes,
all the tribes,
they were fighting
who has the ability who who has a
chance
to take
the honor
that he put the black stones in its
place
in the Kaaba,
and they were fighting.
4 or 5 days,
they
almost to just to start a big war
because
each tribe, they want to have the chance
to put al Hajar al Aswad
in its place.
And
there is a wise man
when
when he looked at the situation,
you know, they have good intention
to put Al Hajar al Asad in in
in its place, but
how to make it?
How to resolve the problem?
And he suggested them,
we have to wait for the first one
will enter into the masjid,
and he will be the judge
between us.
Are you agree, guys?
All the tribes that they said, we agree.
You are wise
men.
And, see, who was the first one to
enter into the Masjid,
after after this promise?
Sambalis. Sambalis.
He was 55
years old.
In in our culture,
you know,
when the person still has his dad
alive,
even if he reaches 60 years old,
he cannot say his opinion until,
you know, his dad give him permission. Don't
look at the environment here.
They they told them from
from early age. You know? If you
if you feel something cannot not
normal,
you're you're gonna we're gonna play the game
for, you know, the thief and the the
police officers. You know? Call 911.
And
even for the the head stars,
they teach them in this way.
But back home,
you know,
people respect
the older
people.
In that time, Sultan Nabi, he was
35 years old.
But
Allah gave him a chance to be a
judge for all these, you know, leaders for
the tribes.
And when he came
and it will it will, help us to
learn
how to be wise when you have the
situation,
how you will really
calculate
all
these matters together and to give
a good advice or make a good decision
right away,
When he
came and he understood
what's the problem, they told him, we finished
the Kaaba already. We built the we rebuilt
the Kaaba,
and now we have the black stone. We
want to put it in its place over
there.
And he is the judge now, what he
did. Who knows?
Yes. Like, the.
You know?
And he back home, the older people or,
you know, the the honored people, they
like the mayor here to have a nice
dressing,
you know, at the top of his, you
know, regular regular,
dress.
And he took one of them, you know,
and he put it on the floor.
Look.
And he hold the the the black stone
by his hand, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. It's
big honor.
Look. How many tribes around him,
no one can touch the stone because, you
know, it will it it will be a
lot of blood.
No one can come
close to the stone.
A prophet Muhammad and this is big chance
from Allah
It's by Allah's plan.
Allah planned
for prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam
to
to to give them
an idea who's this person,
you know. After 5 years, Allah
will choose him to make him a prophet
and the last final messenger of Allah
And he hold the big black stone, and
he put in the sign in in the
middle of this,
abaya or this garment
like a blanket,
and he called, you know, the leader of
each tribe.
Yeah. This leader and this leader and this
leader, and he told, each one will hold
one corner
of this blanket or this abeya.
And they hold together
and they
moved into
the Kaaba.
And again, prophet Muhammad
hold the black stone by his hand and
he put it in its place.
And he resolved the problem.
Everybody was happy,
subhanallah,
but they did not realize
this is a sign from Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala. How come for those people
to deny
his message later on?
You will agree with his judgment.
You were happy when he when he did
something
wisely, but why you reject his message
later on after that? And this is just
the the the story of,
what will Hajar al Asad.
They will be in a a few future
leader leaders
This is what we have tonight.
I will stop here, and and we're gonna
continue
for next time,
for the other occasions
in in the life of prophet Muhammad sasalla.
I think next time, we will start with
the the first revelation,
will come to prophet Muhammad sasalla
when he was
40 years old. Now we we would stay
under 35 years old for prophet Muhammad sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam, and next time we're gonna
continue to
for the other occasions
after that.
We will have Adan and Iqamah,
inshallah, right away.
After
Umrah.
After Umrah. Yes. Yes.
And,
also, we have, next next,
next week, we have a a family,
night fun for the whole community,
you know, because
we,
we might,
really, did not have a chance to hear
about the announcement,
but,
just prepare yourself,
for your children, for your family.
It will be,
the last night before
going into Umr to remember
us in your supplication.
Yes.
A love
at book.
A
love at book.
Sorry.
For Sufi,
Barifa.
And but he has no relation what they
what they did.
He has.
One day,
he was praying,
and
he heard the voice
talking to him directly
and to said to him, oh, I beg
your pardon. I am your Lord.
And
just you don't need to pray anymore.
You know? Just to
to
to realize
when the person really knowledgeable,
especially
Islamic knowledge
or or the authentic
Islamic knowledge,
he will,
you know,
realize right away
that there is something wrong.
When he heard the voice
that somebody talking to them to say, oh,
I am your lord, and I dropped the
salah. You don't need to pray anymore.
Can you imagine if somebody, you know, talking
to you, he was praying during, you know,
by himself, and he heard somebody talking to
him?
And the whole level,
they have a level, they call the the
the the stage of Yaqeen,
certainty.
If any sheikh of them reach this
stage,
he doesn't need to pray anymore because they
are the Musul Al Ahab, he connected with
Allah He
doesn't need to pray because prayer prayers for,
you know, regular people and like me and
you, but not like big shiuk in their
in their career.
Anyway,
He he got the message.
When he heard the voice, somebody talking to
him to say, oh, Abdul Qadir, I am
your lord, and you do not need to
pray anymore. That's it. You know? You are
free.
And he realized
this is the voice of who? Satan. Shaitan.
Satan. And he said,
Yeah. I I don't know how to translate
it. You know?
Shrink or what what to I would have
to say it.
You know? Shut up. Yeah. Shut up. Yeah.
Oh oh, enemy of Allah. Shut up. Yeah.
Yeah. Subhanallah.
Because Allah will never
command his servant to do something
and he will change it later on. And
this is the rule.
Allah will never
obligated us to do something, and later on,
will say, you know, you don't need to
do this anymore. No.
And this is just why I mentioned this
story today. For all of us, we have
to be very careful
when we get into
a situation, a good situation with Allah,
we might have shaitan
really
whispering to you know?
Mashallah. You stay at the masjid, mashallah, for
2 hours tonight. You spend good time. You
know, you you inshallah, you are you will
be among the people of paradise. Don't worry.
Look at other people who drunk or the
people who's dealing with the with the, backbiting
or the one who dealing with the adultery.
No. No. No. You are good. Yeah.
To to yeah.
When you feel that you are you're much
better than everybody else,
this is big problem now. You have to
sit with yourself.
I know one's scholars. May Allah
with his mercy.
One day, he's a famous scholar back home
in Egypt. He passed away.
And and he he's he's a a a
real scholar.
One day,
his driver
drove him back.
He he had
a meeting, and he going back to his
house,
and he told the driver to stop in
in one village in his way back to
his his house.
And he
enter into the small mosque in this village,
and he
was cleaning the bathrooms of the Masjid.
And the driver, you know, he felt that
the imam, he he's stay long time time
inside the Masjid. Maybe something bad happened to
him, and he went back after them to
look for him. And he found
found him, you know,
tie tied his clothes around his waist
and cleaning the bathrooms of the of the
that masjid in that small village in the
in in,
back home.
And he asked him, what are you doing,
oh, big imam? You know, he said, you
know, big imam in Egypt.
And he said, I I felt
that I feel proud because I did something,
you know, in the previous time, and I
have to
put myself on the spot.
I
honored
from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala for us.
I mentioned the story today just to keep
doing what we what we,
doing
to attend
for these lectures,
not to soften our hearts
and to increase our faith, to increase our
iman. And and Sahaba,
Sayyidna Abdullah ibn Rawaha, he's the companion of
Rasulullah,
used to hold his brother's
hand and to tell him, oh my brother,
set
set
for our a lie
to to to believe in Allah
to soften our
hearts.
Our hearts
are not suitable.
You know? You you you might be happy
today, You will be
unhappy tomorrow. You might be, you know,
satisfied
now. You might be unsatisfied
after after a few minutes
because our heart, it's not in the sensible
situation.
It's
the the heart changes every time more than,
you know, the the the boiling water.
You see how how the boiling water inside
the the the pan just
to to
have different situation,
all the time. And those are the companions
of Rasulullah,
How about us? We are not the companions.
We we are so busy with our wife
and our children and our families,
but at least as much as we can.
You know, I don't like to hold you
more than this, Ayanna. Just go back to
your family and your wife and your your
children, but promise just to take advantage as
much as you can to come back again,
Inshallah.
And when you have a chance,
you know, help your child to to know
what is the direction for the masjid in
the town. Help them out. Show them. Train
them how they will find the house of
Allah.
May Allah work all of you.
Saturday,
