Dear brothers and sisters,
Welcome back again to our,
series
about,
maximize
the value of your prayer.
And today inshallah, we will have another example,
another prophet that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
talk to him directly to,
make sure that the salah
is obligatory
upon him
and his
people, and his followers.
Our example today is
Prophet Shu'aib
Alaihi Salam.
Sayeduna Shu'aib Alaihi Salam,
Khapeebul Arab,
the speaker of Arabs. Prophet
Shu'aib, peace be upon him.
How Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
commanded him in the chapter of Hud,
Fisurati Hud,
verse number
87.
How Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala explain
for us
the conversation
was between him and his people.
When they asked him, after he told them
it's not good idea
to
deal with the mischief
and to
to
cheat
and deceive
in in their,
dealing with the other people when they used
to sell or to buy,
you know, products from other people. And he
told them,
All my people
gave full
major and weight injustice
and
reduce
not
the thing that are due
to the people. You have to give people's
right completely
in the and you have to watch yourself
on front of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And
he told them,
SubhanAllah.
Whatever
left
as halal money,
if you have your business,
if you have your trade,
and even if you have a few,
profit
in your money,
it will be great as long as, alhamdulillah,
you did not cheat, you did not deceive
in your business,
and you have a few
extra dollars
as a halal money, as a lawful money,
it's great. You know, don't listen to to
whispering of Shaitan, and don't look at any
temptation
around you. I'm talking to our brothers and
sisters who is in business,
Islamic business. You are dealing with Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala. And this is Dawah's
the the main purpose
for prophet Shu'aib
alaihis salam,
to be sent to his people. Subhanallah.
This is the major,
point that they used to deal with. They
used to cheat and to deceive
in the measure and in the weight when
they used to sell their
product.
And this is why prophet Muhammad salallahu alaihi
wa sallam
warned us
the worst
thief,
the one who is stealing
from
his salah. When you pray,
you have to
to deal with the tranquility,
and to have your time,
you know, to make salah correctly
like Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala wishes from us.
Do not pick your salah
as a chicken or as a crow.
Take your time and enjoy
your your your action,
while prayer. And when they figure out that
he's not agree with their bad actions,
and they were mocking at him. Subhanallah.
And this is what we can see everywhere
and around us.
If the people are not agree with us
all the way, they will mock at us.
They will create
a
new situation
to make you down, but don't listen to
them. You have to know that Allah
is guiding you. As long as you put
your trust in Allah,
and you you will be protected by Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And they respond back to
him, and they said,
They said to him, oh Shoaib,
does your salah, your prayer, command
that we gave up what our fathers used
to worship?
And or that we gave up
doing
what we like with
our
properties,
our money,
our wealth.
And when we look
at their conversation,
there is 2 words we can take out
of all these
conversation.
To do
and not to do. And this is,
you know, like the our scholars used to
say,
our religion
has only 2 words,
do
and not to do.
And they,
subhanallah,
they make it very simple and very clear.
And this is what the to do. And
not to do. And this is the the
complete
religion from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala for all
the prophets and the messenger.
Do
and not to do.
If an do a badat,
worship Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, and stay
away from,
you know, major sin or even minor sins.
And this is how
they understood
the religion of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, but
they were acting
as a rebellions.
Because they they don't like
to listen
to Allah's guidance.
They don't like to listen to the revelation
came from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And our
proof today
about the salah, that the salah was obligated.
They recognized
Shu'aib alaihis salam
with the very famous actions
he used to do, which is the salah.
Qalu al salah took.
They recognized
him in his village, in his town, in
his city, in his place,
that he's doing salah
so much.
Oh, this is, you know, the the famous
action
they
recognize,
with him to do salah, to perform salah.
You know? Is your prayer really
commanded
us not to worship
the idols and the statues
like our previous parents
used to worship?
And this is one part. And the second
part,
and your prayer commanded us not to do
whatever we wish in our money or our
wealth. You know we have free will.
And this is what a liberal people used
to say, you know, we have free will
to use our properties, or our money, or
our wealth
as we wish.
Yeah. You have right, but don't forget that
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
will ask you 2 questions about your wealth.
Where did you find your money from halal
money
or source or not? And how you will
spend your wealth
into halal
way or into haram way? And for all
our actions, we have one single question for
all our actions except
our wealth,
our properties, our money. We have 2 questions,
and this is you know what? I try
to explain for myself and my brothers and
my sisters,
you know,
I hope to see you again with the
other episode
with the
maximize
the value of your prayer
as much as you can,
and I will see you soon inshallah.
And I ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
to help all of us at to stay
firm in our religion,
and to perform a prayer as our lord
almighty Allah wishes from us.
