And that's what you see from the Companions, Abu Bakar has to do. A

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

man was haranguing him in the mosque of the Prophet after one of

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

the prayers, and Abubaker just sat there and the Prophet was smiling

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

at him. Then Abubaker answered back, when a robot could answered

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

back the Prophet Godot, the Prophet left Abubaker said, Why

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

would you leave your friend at this time? And the messenger

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

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, when someone, harangues a Muslim,

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

the angels defend him. But when you answer back now, it's an

00:00:32 --> 00:00:37

argument, the devil's come and the angels leave. So when you argue

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

for your own self, okay? When you're arguing for your own self,

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

the devil's come in, when you're arguing for the religion the

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

angels come in, that's a difference. So you would we should

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

prioritize someone who deviates from God and His Prophet,

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

knowingly, not accidentally, we should have common sense and mercy

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

to you don't take someone from a non religious background 100% and

00:01:02 --> 00:01:07

judge them on somebody who's born and raised with Sheila. Right? I

00:01:07 --> 00:01:09

always have to tell my kids this all the time as part of the

00:01:09 --> 00:01:13

education of religious people in this day and age. Keep in mind you

00:01:13 --> 00:01:17

have a foundation that not everyone else has so don't be

00:01:17 --> 00:01:20

hasty when you see another Muslim doing something that you know it's

00:01:20 --> 00:01:26

not right but you don't be hasty with them and look ever look down

00:01:26 --> 00:01:28

on somebody like that you can look down on the thing I know that's

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

wrong. But I'm

00:01:32 --> 00:01:36

going to keep in mind their background. Okay, some people I

00:01:36 --> 00:01:40

know them there they when they walk in the mosque, I was like,

00:01:40 --> 00:01:44

What the heck is this have some like, they're allowed, they may

00:01:44 --> 00:01:47

not be dressed appropriately, all these are the things

00:01:48 --> 00:01:51

they say come in the message. I was like, What is going on with

00:01:51 --> 00:01:53

this person? They got know.

00:01:55 --> 00:02:00

A dab of the Masjid. But I know their background. Right? Their

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

background, this is is almost a borderline miracle. That's you see

00:02:04 --> 00:02:08

it from that background. That they're coming to the masjid like

00:02:08 --> 00:02:12

this. That's almost borderline like a miracle from Allah. The

00:02:12 --> 00:02:15

fact that even stepping in the mosque, there was a man who made

00:02:15 --> 00:02:15

Hajj

00:02:17 --> 00:02:23

is about 67 years old. He was such a headache, the entire Hajj,

00:02:23 --> 00:02:26

Lebanese Arab guy, right.

00:02:27 --> 00:02:33

And my dad was on that hedge. And he just told everybody stop, let

00:02:33 --> 00:02:34

him do whatever he wants.

00:02:35 --> 00:02:38

He ended up not being able to fulfill the hedge

00:02:41 --> 00:02:44

couldn't fulfill the hedge. He couldn't do it. He's like, I can't

00:02:44 --> 00:02:46

this is too crazy. Everything about this, screw this. I can't do

00:02:46 --> 00:02:51

this. Right. And he was so unreasonable and insane. Like he

00:02:51 --> 00:02:55

went to him was Delica everyone was picking up the pebbles, right?

00:02:55 --> 00:02:56

He's like,

00:02:57 --> 00:02:59

Hey, guys, I have a business idea. Why don't we make

00:03:01 --> 00:03:04

a vending machine that pulls out the pebbles was like, Are you

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

insane? is

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

not the time for this. Now, why did

00:03:12 --> 00:03:16

this man my dad was advocate he would tell the 100 group leave him

00:03:16 --> 00:03:20

alone. Don't say a word. This Lebanese men

00:03:21 --> 00:03:27

was a Christian. His whole life. He converted to Islam at the age

00:03:27 --> 00:03:28

of 65.

00:03:29 --> 00:03:34

Do you know how rare that is? For a Lebanese Christian? They despise

00:03:34 --> 00:03:38

Muslims. Well, though they like the dancing Muslims, the Muslims

00:03:38 --> 00:03:42

at the club scenes that's fun. But they'll never become a Muslim.

00:03:43 --> 00:03:45

It's so rare that you become Muslim.

00:03:47 --> 00:03:53

So he he comes to 65 with all these crazy habits of his but he

00:03:53 --> 00:03:58

fell in love without deposits. He listened to Quran day and night

00:03:58 --> 00:04:00

became a Muslim. Okay.

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

Two years later, he wants to make Hajj he can't do it. Right.

00:04:06 --> 00:04:11

You can't really expect him to because he was very obese and hajj

00:04:11 --> 00:04:14

when you're with heavy. It's tough.

00:04:15 --> 00:04:16

And at that time, it was hot.

00:04:17 --> 00:04:20

Well, he came back

00:04:21 --> 00:04:22

and he died three weeks later.

00:04:23 --> 00:04:28

Right? So be very mindful of the non religious person who is

00:04:28 --> 00:04:31

innocently not religious, innocently committing sins. This

00:04:31 --> 00:04:35

is the big difference between us and many other conservative

00:04:35 --> 00:04:39

groups. Conservative meaning like what's a half of badeen truly,

00:04:39 --> 00:04:43

truly trying to preserve the religion. Not mincing words, not

00:04:43 --> 00:04:47

cutting corners in religion. But we have to do it with mercy

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

because you got to look at people's contexts. He broke his

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

heads. That's one of the worst deeds you could do you know that

00:04:52 --> 00:04:56

breaking your Hutch because I can't do this at home anymore. My

00:04:56 --> 00:04:58

thighs are destroyed. I take a shower

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

Great and he's a businessman. They're always clean, proper,

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

sharp, well off. He died three weeks after he came back.

00:05:08 --> 00:05:12

But the whole thing for him to become Muslim, go to Mecca go to

00:05:12 --> 00:05:15

Medina, even if he failed his hedge,

00:05:16 --> 00:05:20

okay? It's like a miracle, the fact that he and do you know how

00:05:20 --> 00:05:25

much he had to fight his kids, his family, his ex wife? He had, he

00:05:25 --> 00:05:29

had a Lebanese Christian wife with kids. He divorced her married a

00:05:29 --> 00:05:31

non Arab woman. Right.

00:05:32 --> 00:05:36

And, you know, there was more freedom for him to become a Muslim

00:05:36 --> 00:05:38

with her, shouldn't she to really care?

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

Sometimes you'd see a thing that looks so

00:05:45 --> 00:05:48

bad, but it's actually so good.

00:05:49 --> 00:05:55

So be very mindful when we talk about leaving off sinners. How we

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

do it got to be very careful this part

00:05:58 --> 00:06:01

of the application of the law, there's a law and there's an

00:06:01 --> 00:06:05

application, that's public centers, that innovators
